Ah i see. Btw let's say you decide to visit relatives or frens in sg you would then have to put up in a hotel or stay with them?
Many ppl the world over visit thailand and many ang mohs like it despite coming from 1st world countries. I suppose some of them come to thailand to run road to escape some shit back home while some prefer the lower cost of living.
Thailand for the most part is rural and even in BKK it still looks pretty rural for lack of a better word. Ppl like khun ying mentioned that were it not for the fact that it's cheaper staying in thailand he would much rather live in europe. Thailand still is a 3rd world country and 3rd world countries have their own problems.
To ppl that have stayed long term in thailand do you miss singapore? For me when i was in thailand i didn't miss sg and missed thailand when i returned home but then it's cos i have been in sg for too long. Since the majority of thailand appears to be countryside would city ppl become bored of the place? I suppose the majority of thai ppl still live a type of kampong lifestyle while ppl in 1st world countries like US, japan will be living more of a city type of life. I wonder if it's worth putting up with the traffic, the numerous ppl, the crowded sois over a long period of time in bkk.
