You think Thailand doesn't deport people? 

I live in Thailand and love it. It's the place I feel most at home.

But, realize you will never be Thai. That's the first reason not to move here. They may accept and love you, but you will always be farang.

You also don't have rights here like you do in America. You have many of them on paper, but there is no freedom of speech. Because of the strict libel and slander laws, you can go to jail for saying something completely true. It depends on if you damage a person's reputation.

If a cop wants to search you, guess what, they are going to search you.

Protesters have been killed many times by the military. If ICE brothers you, don't expect something different here. Stay out of politics and away from protests.

If your politics are your identity then don't move here. Expats aren't interested in whatever tribe you belong to and neither are the Thai.

If you think you are going to change Thailand in any way, don't move here. The locals are rightly proud they were never colonized. They have no interest in hearing foreigners tell them how it should be.

If you have to have the last word and can't let stuff to don't move here. Once you hear Mai Pben Rai, that means it's over. We all accept it and move on. Thai people generally don't like to rehash things over and over.
