I've some cash and I'd like to move somewhere in the country. Would Thailand be a good option?
Heh heh. Yes. I will send the bank account information right away!
But seriously, the economy is good here, as in much of Asia. Still growing after a gang-buster year or two coming out of the very shallow recession.
I think international investors want to come here much more than they are - they're holding off due to the political troubles and the fact that so much appears to hang upon the health of one 82 year old man. But I have a feeling that the Ancien Régime has a little more to it than just HM. Southeast Asia is definitely one the very hot regions for the coming decades.. and Thailand is most definitely the center of that regional economy (not the central player, just the center).
I'll look into it further if you like. To be honest I have thought about looking for some kind of business opportunity here to avoid impoverishment, but also to be honest, its probably not really my style. While I have been subjected to the humiliation of paid employment, it has at least been in the traditionally higher calling of 'teaching', and I have as yet to sully my hands with trade.
Or wait, did you mean to invest or to become an expatriate?
Speculation.
What are the chances (and cost in dollars) of buying an old farm and living by yourself?
My choice has been Colombia, but i could listen to other offers...also thais = cute boys.
