Book Nine Reasons Why an Old American Man Should Move to Thailand

Download or read book Nine Reasons Why an Old American Man Should Move to Thailand written by Alan Reeder-camponi and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-05-06 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not a book on how to get more sex from Thai women or how to survive on a shoestring budget. I have lived with a woman who was born in Bangkok for over three years and been married to her for two years. If it were not for my exposure to her and her family, I would now know how to survive in Bangkok ... but I would only have a superficial understanding of Thais and Thai culture. Unlike some books written on relocating to Thailand, I don't think Thailand turns out to be a wonderful country for everyone. It works very well for me. And in this guide you will learn why. More than anything, this guide is about Thai culture. If you are coming here from the USA it will be hard for you to overestimate how different Thai culture is from that in the USA. In the USA you have literally hundreds of religions. In Thailand, something like 95% of the population is Buddhist. Buddhism is reflected everywhere in Thai life. Many of the foreigners I meet who are confused by what they run into here on a day-to-day basis have not looked into Buddhism. In my opinion, if you don't have an appreciation for and understanding of Buddhism, you will not end up being comfortable with Thai culture and living in Thailand for any length of time. I'm very happy living in Bangkok with my Thai wife. In this book I've tried to convey some of what that life is like ... and to compare my quality of life here to what I experienced in the USA. Part of my motivation for writing the book is thinking that eventually something might happen to me while living here that will sour me on Thailand. At that point, I'll want something to remind me of why I chose to live here. So far, I'm still on my honeymoon. I don't think Thailand or Thai culture is perfect by any means. But, from my experience, the positives far outweigh the negatives. To be very honest, there are many things about Thai culture and how Thais think that I just do not understand. For example, Thais are generally a very nonviolent people. Rather than kill stray or unwanted dogs, they abandon them at temples or leave them to fend for themselves on the street. But... I've been told by more than one person that hiring someone to kill a person who you want killed is not that difficult in Thailand. The strange part of all this is that it seems to be morally ok to have someone killed ... but not morally acceptable to do it yourself. Thailand is full of extreme contrasts and apparent contradictions. I've tried in this book to communicate some of this. For example, Bangkok is an adult Disneyland without brakes. If you have the money, you can buy most anything. But ... the ones who get the most respect are the monks (even the King of Thailand shows a monk respect by waiing him). So, it's the ones who are able to turn their backs on all the worldly pleasures who are given the most respect. If you come to live here you will gradually come to think you understand something about Thailand. But I think maybe the experience of living here will actually teach you more about the country you just left. All those things you took for granted for all those years start to seem like just one of many choices. For example, in the USA people usually consider their home to be a personal statement of who they are. Americans generally like to invite people to visit their home. Thais, on the other hand, usually meet friends at a restaurant to socialize. Thais are reluctant to invite friends to their home. Those in charge of advertising Thailand to the world have chosen the phrase "amazing Thailand" to promote tourism. In my opinion, this is not false advertising. I hope my book can help prepare you for what you will find in Thailand...and to decide if it is really a good choice for you.

Book Thai Western Mobilities and Migration

Download or read book Thai Western Mobilities and Migration written by Paul Statham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters in this volume study transnational social relationships and cross-border connections between ‘ordinary’ people that arise from the increasingly large-scale mobilities and migrations between Thailand and ‘the West’. While Thai and Western people’s social relationships are usually studied as personal stories within a cross-border marriage migration perspective, this book considers it necessary to see them as more than marriage migration. Even though a focus on the ‘personal life stories’ of marriage migrants provides valuable insights, it can also mask consideration of the structural context of socially embedded cross- border connections and exchanges, as well as state restrictions, that, first, make people’s decisions to move a possibility in the first place, and second, shape a migrant’s post- migration life- trajectory and experiences, relative to others in their origin and settlement societies. The chapters on Thai women who marry and move with older Western men, Western men and women who move to Thailand to retire or for leisure, and Thai rural families transformed by mobilities and migration, try to draw out their gendered experiences of transnational living. The individual choices that shaped these lives, and the surprising prevalence of lives like these in Thailand and abroad, needs to be understood within context as an outcome of the specific globalisation processes that have shaped Thailand through transnational links to other parts of the world over the last decades. Globalisation and penetration by foreign capital, cultures, and people through mass tourism is key to this explanatory backstory as well as the internal rural/ urban cleavages that drive Thailand’s economic development. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.

Book How I Moved to Thailand  Retired Early  Found Love  Built a Mansion  and Live Like a King on a Dime

Download or read book How I Moved to Thailand Retired Early Found Love Built a Mansion and Live Like a King on a Dime written by Scott Curtis and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN AMAZON BESTSELLER! LIVE YOUR DREAMS! RETIRE WORRY-FREE! FIND A LOVING COMPANION! Your buying power will almost triple in Thailand. If you're a pensioner or on Social Security and choose a city other than Bangkok, you'll probably feel like the richest guy in town! If you're younger and have enough savings, you can retire years early, like I did! It's so cheap to live here, on a modest budget you can live a life of luxury: Dining in the finest restaurants, having a maid, getting daily massages, staying in fancy hotels, vacationing on the beach, exploring Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Phuket, Saigon, Bali, Angeles, and other exciting cities in Southeast Asia... In my beautiful city you can rent a lovely studio apartment with 60+ channel cable TV and views for as little as $100 a month! Or you can buy a nice cozy home or condo for as little as $20,000! Dental and medical care are world-class, and the price is low. You'll be living the American Dream- only in Thailand! LOVE IS HARD TO FIND IN THE US OR UK. IT'S EASY TO FIND IN THAILAND! I had a hard time finding a compatible partner in America. After my divorce I found that the kind of woman I wanted - someone like the girls I knew in high school - no longer existed. Instead I went on computer dates with women who seemed mostly interested in how much money I had and what kind of car I drove and did I own or rent? Nobody seemed interested in me. I was miserable. And lonely. I kept getting told I was too old for the women I was attracted to. After awhile, I stopped dating altogether. THAI WOMEN DON'T CARE HOW OLD YOU ARE! THEY LOOK FOR THE GOOD IN YOU! Much to my amazement, I found that age differences don't matter to most Thai women! That's not true in Latin America, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, or even the Philippines- and certainly not in the West. Thai women are Buddhists, and they believe we're all part of an endless cycle of birth and death, and it doesn't seem to matter to them where you are on that cycle. They have been taught to respect age- and they do. They've been taught to please men- and they do! You can be 40 or 70 - and many girls here will still find you attractive. Further, they look for the good much more than Western women. You can be overweight, plain, a smoker- girls there are much more accepting than back home. YOU CAN BE A PLAYBOY. OR YOU CAN DO WHAT I DID AND FIND ONE GIRL TO LOVE! Moving here, I totally transformed my life. I went from living poor to living like a wealthy man would back home. I went from living alone and miserable to being the biggest playboy- for awhile. I'd have 3 dates a day- and some of the girls were just knockouts. The sort of women who wouldn't give me the time of day in America were vying for my attention! But ultimately I found being a playboy just didn't suit me (although I have many happy memories!)- and I found a lovely and peaceful woman straight out of my dreams who was delighted to marry me! We've been together 12 years now. Plus, I have great friends, a lazy dog, a 4 year old niece who pops by to play with me everyday- and I live in a mansion I built for $60,000! This is my story. I tell it- not to brag- but to give you an example of what you can do in your own life. NOT READY TO RETIRE, BUT READY FOR LOVE? Lots of guys meet girls here and take them home- It's easy to fall in love with Thai girls! In the sequel to this book, FINDING THE LOVE YOU WANT IN THAILAND, I share comments and stories from 50 guys who looked for a devoted companion and found one- or didn't- in Thailand. Then, they and I share our personal and very detailed advice for how to succeed. Your dreams can come true... in Thailand!

This is a story about an ordinary Canadian couple who retired at the age of 52 and then sailed halfway around the world and are now living in a small apartment in Thailand in a seaside village. This is not a "how to" book, it is simply the story of why and how they said good-bye to so much potential income to lead an extraordinary and extremely satisfying lifestyle.
