People of Thailand generally seem to be warm, friendly and happy, which I feel is the main attraction. Thailand is definitely not for everyone, most people either love it or hate it. The Thai way of life takes some getting used to, culture in Thailand is without question a world apart from the western way of life. I do know for sure that when I am living in the USA I am bored most of the time, anything you do just about always involves getting into your car. Even after more than fifteen years of living here, every day for me, is still an adventure and I still can’t decide if I hate it or love it. Here in Pattaya I can walk down to the corner for lunch or a beer and watch the world go by. There is so much activity all around I don’t ever get bored. Public transportation is readily available everywhere for mere pocket change, or you can choose to drive yourself.

For local commutes baht buses and motorcycle taxi are just a few steps away where ever you may be in Pattaya. Medical and dental is top notch, very affordable and convenient. For those long distance trips the big buses are convenient, comfortable, and very affordable. I had my teeth cleaned and polished for a mere twenty dollars (B600). I have had other procedures that if performed in my country would have put me in the poor house. If you lack insurance back home and need medical care the cost savings would most likely pay for the trip to Thailand many times over. I live in a nice studio apartment that has a wonderful view of a mountain. Housing is cheap, for example a two bedroom house cost as little as three hundred dollars (B9,000). On top of that my water and electricity run about 30 dollars (B700) a month. It has everything I need like air conditioning and hot water all for 130 dollars (B4,000) a month. My internet is included along with my apartment rental. While most things cost less here that is not true for everything. Electronics, and cars will generally cost twenty percent more, and so will a few other things. Generally if I was to estimate all in all cost of living here is sixty percent of what it cost to live in the US or UK. To sum it up as costs of everyday needs in America and other western country’s continue to rise it becomes even more attractive to make the journey to South East Asia.
