Dunno. Thailand pretty good.

Agree there!

Depends on how you measure it, doesn't it? But seems a not great way of thinking about things. Some measurements: happiness, wealth gap (lack of), access to health, education, opportunity, lack of violence, weather you like.

We take our health care system here for granted a bit when you look at places like the US. Has its faults but at least you don’t need to seek your house if you break a leg here. Or get shot at school a few times a year

Dunno. Thailand pretty good.

A mate went last year and his missus booked couples massages every day at the resort before he got a chance to because she knows what the dodgey bastard would have done if he went alone. He was shattered. I’m sure you only know of fully qualified and certified physio technicians over there mate so this is probably a shock to you.

Heading over Sunday night.

Heading over Sunday night.

Which part of Thailand mate? You normally go out West from memory. I'm South East.
It's a bit better in my opinion.
Gulf of Thailand sea. Close to Samui

It's a little sad to see sometimes. Blokes leaving the missus back at the hotel and than running amuck. Last month was my 8th year living here. Paradise.
I rarely see a tourist where I am now.
I prefer it that way. Peaceful yet lots to do.

We plan to retire in SEA - or a combo of SEA and Aust.

In terms of best country to live in - your income and how far it goes is a massive factor. I wouldn't want to be a tuk tuk driver in Bangkok or living on a minimum wage in Sydney.

Most countries are great when you've got spending power - but I love the ocean and the warmth and lushness of the tropics.

South East is the best mate. People here have a better quality of life. Anywhere really but avoid the tourist traps.
Zero taxes. The Thais live really well, even on minimum wages. If you or anyone need some guidance before you come here. Welcome to DM me.

If we win another flag we should do a Thailand Collingwood Supporters Footy Trip.

Totally true. Much prefer to live here than the US, personally. The best "society" I've lived in is Finland (but the weather... the food.... eek).. Love SE Asia. France is good. Italy where I'd live if I could. The US fun but as mentioned. Australia my home. Obviously, I don't know what the best country in the world is. Because it's a dumb thing to say about any of them. Each has good and bad. Australia more good than bad.

Thought you were SW? I'm heading due-East to the Cambodian border with a few shorter trips.

South East brother. Nakhon Sri Thammarat province. A village called Thasala.
700km South of Bangkok.

Just retire in werribee. It's always balmy here from the sewerage treatment plant letting out all sorts of warmth. It comes with own unique smells and we have half the Indian population living in a nearby suburb. We even have an authentic Indian street food set up every night.

Plus easy access to Lara, Little River etc - don't forget Norlane "gateway to Geelong"

Sounds like Madras (now Chennai) in the 90s. There was lots of street food, lots of Indians and an open sewer flowing through the centre of town. The sewer was quite charminG, like the Venice of the east ... But caused some snobs to drop it down the best places to live list.

Got a bit of that going on currently. Septic tank needs a service. Insinkerator can really block things up.
