You can live a very simple lifestyle in Thailand and still enjoy a lot of amenities.  "A lot of people come to visit and then figure out a way to stay," says American expat Cynthia Crowder, "and most of the expats that live here came to visit and never left."   

Living in Thailand is inexpensive.  Renting a 3-bedroom house with maid quarters and a cute yard might cost you 8,000 BOT (about $800/month).  Eight-to-five domestic help, five days a week might cost you $300/month.  A nice apartment living in downtown Bangkok might be $500 â�� $1,000/month.

A lot of people start working in Thailand by teaching English.  "Another thing that is really enticing here, said Crowder, is it's a Buddhist country; not a Muslin country, so the political climate is quite mild. 

"There's not a lot of crime in the city," said Crowder, "and safety here is a big plus."  "Compared to the big cities in the States I've lived in; Seattle, Dallas, New Orleans and Houston," she said, "I've felt much, much safer in Southeast Asia then I ever did in the U.S." 

Listen to Crowder's 1st-hand account of healthcare in Thailand.   

Have you ever wondered what it would be like as an American working in Thailand, raising and entertaining a family?   An American describes her family's experiences living in Bangkok, Thailand; popular middle eastern customs like Shisha, five-star movie theaters, and the amount of time they spend traveling for school sporting events and for fun.
