-----------------------------------------
In Thailand, I live pretty well. It's warm and we are never cold, except December to February in the morning in Chiang Mai. That's when we go birding in the mountains for days on end, listening to the wind whistle through the pine trees.
I don't only live in Chiang Mai. I also stay in Bangkok and a southern town in Thailand. I rent another house in Bangkok and there is a home in the south too.
I left South Africa with the goal of never returning as a resident. Since then, I have created that reality through pro active steps to ensure I never HAVE to go back. I've been out here 10 years now and may be looking for a move soon.
We mainly eat imported meats and butters and cheese as the stuff we like and grew up eating is not found here of any decent quality.
We make our own biltong, boerewors and malva pudding. All the South African comfort foods. I might be Lithuanian, but South Africa was where I spent most of my life so that will never leave me.
It's a great life playas. Don't let it get you down. You could always have a squat toilet. Exactly.
