A peril of moving to Thailand is missing friends and family.
You need to understand, it is possible once you move to Thailand, that you will never see your friends and family again.
One reason is the cost of airfare.
When you move to Thailand and you are on a fixed monthly income, you simply may NOT be able to afford the cost of airfare to go back and visit.
They may not be able to afford to visit you, for the same reasons?
It is something that doesn’t really sink in until after you have moved and started missing them.
Understanding this up front may or may not soften the blow of missing friends and family.
Technology allows for us to video in real time with our family and friends.
Is that good enough for you or will it make you miss them even more?
Moving away forever, you need to take a long, hard look how every single issue of being away will affect you and whether or not you can deal with it.
Yes, you can meet new friends in Thailand.
However, you will still miss your old friends and family even more.
Is that something you are willing to give up?
Or do have you already planned solution?
