Hi thanks for adding me to the forum , before 2020 I travelled to Thailand 4 times in 2 years spending around 12 months all up 6 of those months in Chanthaburi . I haven't been back since 2020 but hope to do so very soon , I had the pleasure of meeting a lovely Thai lady back in 2016 where I lived with her . I absolutely loved the time I spent with her and in her home town but unfortunately we couldn't make it work , her main goal was to get married and leave Thailand where as mine was to move and live in Thailand . I was lucky in a sense as shortly after we separated I had got hit with several health issues in my home country and causing me to retire , I returned several times after that spending time in Pattaya and Hue Hin .
I hope to return soon and see if I have the same feeling of wanting to live there permanently or not .
Cheers
