People that are wanting to move to Thailand, tend to over think everything.
Moving is moving.
As a Thai I have moved to the USA and back. So I have experience moving.
Thailand is just like the place you are coming from, except a different language.
We have stores, restaurants, resorts, pharmacies, malls, and everything else you have in your own country.
There is no need to over-think.
There is no need to listen to bad advice on social media.
The worst thing you can do is listen to people trying to get clicks to earn enough money to stay here. Not even close to reality.
There is a need to plan carefully and do your own research.
Thailand is just a different location, different language.
Other than that, life is all the same.
No need for over thinking.
It is simple to settle in here.
