There’s a reason thousands of ex-pats make their home to this day in Thailand. The tropical paradise is a huge tourist attraction — and for good reason. The beaches are top-notch — as is the conversion rate from dollars to baht. Additionally, the food markets, whether on land or on boats, boast a cornucopia of truly phenomenal treats. Even without a ton of cash, one could live very comfortably here. Plus, it’s only a stone’s throw away from other fascinating countries (Laos, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar) in the region.
