  With the current situation in Europe and US, Thailand seems like a good place to be

  Always appreciate the information. I left Los Angeles and finally came to Thailand. Your videos helped out for sure.

  Not to be a downer for anyone wanting to move to Thailand, but going there for 1-6 months to test it out may be advantageous.  You should still be able to open a bank account and get an appropriate visa.

  I am 26 years old and bored of the UK. My 20's so far have been an awful experience. I think moving to a sunny country like Thailand would be very good for my mental health.

  An international driver's license should help (my information is from 10 years ago).  It seems to me back then you needed some confirmation from where you were living as well, but as you said, with an existing license it is pretty easy.  I will say that I rode motorcycles for years and at first just rented a scooter.  I had to laugh, the first "trial" run I wobbled all over until I got used to how light weight they are.  I eventually bought a Benelli 600 which was nice for longer trips, but around town in Chiang Mai the scooter was the best transportation.  Also, my friend mentioned that if/when we get back there, he probably would get drunk at a bar and then just get a taxi to go back to his hotel.  As you said, a taxi in Chiang Mai, especially at 1am, isn't easy to find, probably almost impossible.  Tuk tuk's don't even run around that late, so a word to the wise.  Either have a phone number for a private type taxi, or be able to use the online transportation services.  I'm not sure about now, but the police often put up check points late at night, and driving/riding drunk might get you arrested, so be careful.  And if you get the chance, take a ride up to Phayao, a great little city to visit and a beautiful road getting there.

  I will make it real simple for you if you are an American, over 50, have $25,000 in your American bank account. Do as I did 12tears ago in my small town of Gloster, Mississippi.<br>I contacted the Thai Embassy in Washington DC ( they also have a website) I learnedIcould get the visa from them. It&apos;s been 12 years but I Remer besides filling out their application for a retirement visa I went to my bank and asked them to write a litter on their bank stationary stating my account number, name on the account and the amount on deposit. I then went to the local police department and the wrote me a letter on the departments stationary that I had no criminal record. I mailed all the papers to the Thai Embassy along with a money order and a week later my passport came back with a stamped retirement visa. Once in Thailand I reported to the Thai immergration every 90 days. I have been in Thailand 13 years now.
