You can not open banking accounts...have utilities in your name...and other things that one would normally do while actually living in a place on a tourist visa. Other visas are sometimes available but vary in length of time they allow you to reside and are often very difficult to get (all this varies country to country of course).

It takes a lot of research and $$$ to actually relocated legally to another country.

Thanks I hadnt even considered this...... I will do my research.

C H R I S · 10-21-2014, 06:16 PM

So does it make sense to just live in 4 cities? 3 months in each?

That way you get around the immigration laws?

I need one more city!!

I agree Hua Hin is a better place to buy a condo, but I like city life. Iused to hate BKK the first 10 years I came here but Ive adjusted. I dont take standard Taxis- only motos and skytrain. I dont ever get stuck in traffic and use luxury hotels and pools as my office.

BKK is a vibrant transient city, you can meet 10 people from 10 different countries while smoking a fag outside of Paragon mall.

Whats not to like?

Only words which i know on hungarian is "kosonom" (which means thank you) and egt(which means one)

I find CZ to be an easy language to learn, with immersion.

One thing is for sure. There's no such thing as a perfect place to live. Its a give and take situation depending on what someone considers important.

I concur, but there are definitly plusses and minuses in every city.

I grew up in LA so its old to me , you just moved there so you are probably loving it....?

You back in the office Theo - can you hit me on Skype please.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Singapore or Hong Kong. While housing is expensive, both places are safe and have great public transportation. You can find good quality medical care as well. Flights are cheap for weekend trips to other parts of Asia. It's quick to setup a company in both places and the corporate taxes are low.

In the end it comes down to the list of things that are important to YOU! I could live in many different places but I don't think there is one city that fits the bill. I'm currently doing long term rentals and moving every 2-3 months to a new city.

wdsguy · 10-21-2014, 09:19 PM

Hong Kong is one of the most exciting, buzzing city Ive been to....... but its insane expensive. Rentals are high and for buying $400k USD will buy you at the most 400 sqft apartment. And even then, you'll have to search and search to find one at that price. I believe the average price per square foot is around $11k USD about now.

Depends on the country, some places only give you 30 day tourist visas. How far is Hua Hin from Bangkok? I am suppose to head to Thailand in a few weeks

Taken from another site.

An old vagabond in his 60s told me about it over a beer in Central America, goes something like this: The more places you see, the more things you see that appeal to you, but no one place has them all. In fact, each place has a smaller and smaller percentage of the things you love, the more things you see. It drives you, even subconsciously, to keep looking, for a place not that’s perfect (we all know there’s no Shangri-La), but just for a place that’s “just right for you.” But the curse is that the odds of finding “just right” get smaller, not larger, the more you experience. So you keep looking even more, but it always gets worse the more you see. This is Part A of the Curse.

Part B is relationships. The more you travel, the more numerous and profoundly varied the relationships you will have. But the more people you meet, the more diffused your time is with any of them. Since all these people can’t travel with you, it becomes more and more difficult to cultivate long term relationships the more you travel. Yet you keep traveling, and keep meeting amazing people, so it feels fulfilling, but eventually, you miss them all, and many have all but forgotten who you are. And then you make up for it by staying put somewhere long enough to develop roots and cultivate stronger relationships, but these people will never know what you know or see what you’ve seen, and you will always feel a tinge of loneliness, and you will want to tell your stories just a little bit more than they will want to hear them. The reason this is part of the Curse is that it gets worse the more you travel, yet travel seems to be a cure for a while.

None of this is to suggest that one should ever reduce travel. It’s just a warning to young Travelers, to expect, as part of the price, a rich life tinged with a bit of sadness and loneliness, and angst that’s like the same nostalgia everyone feels for special parts of their past, except multiplied by a thousand.

Amd why did you wait so long to post in the thread. I already know this curse as I kind of operate my life in the same regard. Thanks for posting, it clarified everything for me.

There is enough fun if you like bar, disco, restaurants. Also a big swingers community and a big gay community. Must be the biggest swingers playground after Cap D'adge. In the main city there must be a digital nomad community.

Well; i didn't like it. To much young drinking tourist, i good speak Dutch all the time (butthat was also a good thing), wasn't to expensive. But in the end i like nice beaches, Thai food, and not a place where tourist stay for just 2 weeks. And it was hot, you realy needed a siësta. But i think we are spoiled with beautiful beaches and great cheap food. I like some beaches in Thailand or South America more.

I hate Playa del Ingles, it is discusting. I live in Mogan area.

Kya Haaal? Then riddle me this........ Is there ANYWHERE in Hong Kong where property is affordable? Where a wealthy person (top 1%) would consider it worthwhile (& sensible) to purchase property in mainland Hong Kong (Sustha Makaan)?

The problem with Hong Kong can be summarized as follows:

(1) Very limited land space.

(2) Very low income taxes draw wealthy Chinese who pay cash down for property and don't even bother to negotiate on prices, pushing real estate prices ever higher.

(3) There is no dividends tax which means that a lot of residents who operate through company or have other dividend source income can effectively live a tax free life and that excess capital often flows into real estate.

(4) Low interest rates and QE will continue to blow bubbles all over the world.

well I have to point out that Czech may be one of the most difficult languages out there. And that even if you were fluent in Russian, which is still not even remotely so close to it as many would like to think.

Further more I am quite confident that less then 15 - 20 pct. locals can even write grammatically correctly.

I don't know but one foreigner who would be able to communicate on a native level of Czech (spoken and written alike), and that is after 14 years of living there.

I am sure you met a few people form MANY other countries as well.

Yes I suppose the dozen or so word I learned are not a sample of the entire CZ language. Point taken.
