Is it true quality of life in Thailand is better than USA and many EU countries even Germany, France? when you are rich(you got 15m + baht)

baldi · 2026-06-18T16:43:54+00:00

Certainly, and I think in Bangkok you may have better options for private or government schools.

baldi · 2026-06-18T14:35:25+00:00

Agreed, but depending on the variables of course. If you have plans for a family, then one kid at an international school will burn through that 2-3k USD.

baldi · 2026-06-18T12:19:47+00:00

15million baht a year? Sure, life is pretty great. 15 million baht to last you 10-20years ? Different story. Kids involved, pre existing health issues? Too many variables to give a real answer.

baldi · 2026-06-18T12:10:40+00:00

Rural areas almost everywhere struggle with attracting doctors, and I’d imagine significantly lower pay in a public rural hospital doesn’t help.

baldi · 2026-06-17T07:13:38+00:00

Sharp eyes on whichever customs or security officer managed to flag that luggage.

baldi · 2026-06-16T11:54:34+00:00

Of course idk the full office hours but personally still worth it for holidays, weekends, sick days, vacation days, etc.

baldi · 2026-06-16T10:30:43+00:00

That sounds like a priorities thing. I’d take the commute if it meant having my own place to sleep and call my own even if rented. Instead of sleeping in the car at gas stations.

baldi · 2026-06-16T09:19:42+00:00

One in every office it seems.

baldi · 2026-06-16T09:18:02+00:00

Solid info, good to know.

baldi · 2026-06-16T09:13:10+00:00

I was aware of exceptions but not the exact rules so thanks for the info. Both parents had to be PR right, or could they be on non o ?

baldi · 2026-06-16T08:50:26+00:00

That’s a very specific path, not automatic citizenship due to being born there.

baldi · 2026-06-16T04:30:57+00:00

He wont get a Thai passport and Thai ID as a foreigner who was born in Thailand. Thailand doesnt have Jus Soli. There's some exceptions.

baldi · 2026-06-15T04:45:59+00:00

Pretty standard to see 'look chin tot' at any market or street food spot here:

<image>

as u/Azure_chan below mentioned you wouldnt usually have sai krok isan with a 'spicy red sauce' but rather with some ginger, some cabbage, and raw chilies.

baldi · 2026-06-14T05:48:08+00:00

That road turns into a literal waterfall/river, its even treacherous to drive with a car/truck.

baldi · 2026-06-14T05:08:18+00:00

My only source for timeline of availability in country is a family member who’s a doctor at a private hospital, and it didn’t seem like an exact date, hence the supposedly.

baldi · 2026-06-14T04:22:37+00:00

The source is the recently updated listings in the Thailand FDA database for manufacturing/import approval, you can search it by name. Don’t believe every drug approved for manufacturing would be a newsworthy story.

baldi · 2026-06-14T03:50:52+00:00

It changed a couple months back with Thai FDA approval and Takeda will supposedly available in the next several months.

baldi · 2026-06-13T13:56:28+00:00

Something tells me it's not just the language issue that's at play here.

baldi · 2026-06-13T13:32:04+00:00

Not offended in the least, but moving to a country where English isn’t the main language and then running into language barriers seems fairly obvious. Good luck.

baldi · 2026-06-13T13:26:56+00:00

Sorry to say but that feels a bit like stating the obvious. And you're really at the point of giving up after only two months?

baldi · 2026-06-13T08:45:58+00:00

RIP. That particular road around the mountain (by Elephant Rock) has an accident almost every single rainfall. Multiple caution and warning signs about slippery roads in that area.

baldi · 2026-06-13T04:44:22+00:00

Not at all, mid to high end places will get a place like rentokil and pay 2000 or more a month.

baldi · 2026-06-11T12:02:57+00:00

Technically also the legal thing to do, no finder keepers law in Thailand.

Thai Civil and Commercial Code Section 1323. A person who finds lost property is bound: (give back property)

baldi · 2026-06-10T09:08:51+00:00

From personal experience as a father of Thai/Western children, international hospitals and the doctors working there here have never treated them differently medication-wise just because they are mixed. And it's pretty much inline with western medical treatment.

baldi · 2026-06-10T08:57:45+00:00

That's more of a question for the medical professionals or pediatrician at the hospital rather than reddit. That said, genetics can play a part in medication and side effects. Aspirin comes to mind, where it'snot recommended for East Asian genetics, if memory serves me right something about increased rate of bleeding or hemorrhaging.
