The REAL Reasons Why Expats Leave Thailand !! (2000-2020)

I get a surprising amount of comments/messages concerning this subject both on my FB page and YouTube channel. The question of ‘why so many expats leave Thailand’ or are there any downsides etc. hasn’t really been addressed and what I have seen on YT is mostly utter BS. Although it could be seen as a hot potato especially when people want to come here so much during the pandemic period, I thought I’d give it a go.

I’ve lived in Thailand for the most part since 2000 and I draw from my own experiences and from the many expats I’ve met over the years. I try to explain delayed culture shock, visa /cost of living changes and the not often talked about boredom/loneliness and addiction problems which can effect expats living here. With the Covid outbreak still causing mayhem, my thoughts and opinions are from a pre-covid time period/perspective (2000-2020). However, I think much of what I discuss will also relate to a post-pandemic Thailand.

Thailand is a fantastic place but when you’re going to make a permanent move to any country it’s good to take on board all angles, the good, the bad, the ugly and problems/issues others may have faced. Hopefully guys will find this useful and also help deal with any problems they may stumble across. All the best.
