What a challenge it is to start life over in Thailand.
When the decision is made to move to Thailand for the rest of your life, there are some challenges to overcome.
All the usual challenges such as getting a long term visa, finding a place to live and having the money.
However, the hardest challenge might be the mental challenges you face a couple of days before departing.
The reality sets in that you are moving away forever.
The numerous life long friends and family members who have been stopping by to wish you well in your new life.
The emotional struggles during this time hit very hard and it is hard not to cry.
The reality of moving away forever has start to sink in.
The family and friends you may never see the rest of your life.

It is not quite as easy as you think.
During this time, you have to be mentally strong and think of the life ahead of you; not the one you are leaving.
Have strength and cherish the memories.
Some of the positives to look forward to:
You will make new friends in Thailand.
You will end up liking living in Thailand more than your current location.

Good luck moving and with your new life!
