I love living in a 3rd world shithole.

Planning to move shortly, so checking out rentals. Here's what you get for about $2300/month here:

Chiang Mai Real Estate - Houses for Rent in Chiang Mai

Or this:

Chiang Mai Real Estate - Houses for Rent in Chiang Mai

You get the idea. At the same time, you can rent a small, 1bdrm condo in rainy Vancouver for the same price. Nice condo, but very small. Gotta say, considering I can work from anywhere in the world, I think I'll stick with the 3rd world shit hole.

Gotta admit.. That looks like a nice place. What about connectivity? Excuse my ignorance but how's Thailand in that respect? Is the web connection fast and reliable enough?

Ohhh, that pisses me off. Speed is good, but uptime isn't. I have to have three internet connections to ensure I can always stay online. Both broadband providers, plus a 3G air card. It's still nothing to complain about too much though... about $100/month for all three, and guarantees I have high-speed internet 24x7.

Will note though, customer service is far better than you'll get in the West. None of this, "please be home next Wednesday between 9-5 to let the tech inside". Here, you call, and there's a tech at your house within a couple hours usually. The joys of cheap labor!

The Thai ladyboy pictures posted on this forum in the past have put me off Thailand forever.

P.S. It's sunny in Vancouver right now. Forecast calls for sunny all next week.

I think you can easily accommodate quite a few wf guests. Time to unleash the generosity

Nice, but way too vulnerable to armed intruders.

Thailand just always seemed so...diseased, perverted, and dangerous for my taste. No thanks.

And seriously, why is it that every thread on here where someone is moving, it's to a shit hole third world country? Even if you can get nice housing for cheap, it's still a third world shit hole.

It might be sunny but you're lucky to see 65 F. Have fun wearing your jacket(s).

I live in a 3rd world country. I moved here from Victoria, BC in December. I have everything I'd ever need, and I live in a nice house in a beautiful neighborhood.

Who wants to live in Canada/US? I'll pass. Everything is illegal. You're losing all your 'rights' and you don't even realize it. The only people that do want to live there, are the people who don't know any better.

gl bro.
