I'd book a flight and spend some time at different locations here and then possibly choose one as your HQ and rent a place for a bit longer
Hmm cheers. I try to do things where 'norm' people wouldn't do, for example I spent one year studying in South Korea, which I'm pretty sure by many peoples situations wouldn't be normal in the slightest and it was the best year of my life excluding nothing!
The problems I find are that I know no one in Thailand, although hopefully I can get to know some 2+2ers in Thailand to help the transition easier, another is that I'm currently in a upswing in my poker career and the problem is I know I'm playing quite well but I'm running above average right now, so I will have to wait and see if this is a natural progression or merely a good upswing
But once again the main problem is the simple fact of moving to a completely new country with no real information apart from a dream.
How you go about renting an apartment? Is it easy?
What kind of expense are you looking at per month?
Would it be better to live in Bangkok or one of the islands? I'm aware there has always been quite a large argument regarding this but an clarification would be appreciated
