End of an era in Thailand?
I’m filming a video about how Thailand has changed over the last 10 years, and I want your take. We all know the price of a beer has gone up, but I’m talking about the vibe. For those of you who have been here a while... What is the single biggest change you've noticed in Thailand since you first arrived? Is it the visa rules? The type of expats arriving? Or did it just lose that "wild west" feeling? Let me know in the comments.

Some people would recommend just about any other country in SE asia. I think part of the wild west feeling fades because you've acquired language, don't need to figure out as much day to day stuff, and the adventure can feel like it's fading when it gets 'too easy' and/or you become complacent. Moving to a more rural part of Thailand and starting over might help with having to figure out everything in a new landscape. Think non-tourist destinations with low foreign residents. Lampang, Kampheng Phet, Nakon Sawan, Phrae, Chainat, Sukhothai and Phetchabun. These should all be at least 20 years behind Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Pattaya, and the major islands.

Woot! Woot!
When Cool Season Forgot to Dry Out
Chiang Mai has officially entered cool season… kind of. We’re getting those breezy mornings and golden evenings but the rain just doesn’t seem ready to take a break yet. I’m loving the cooler air, that feeling when you can finally crack a window at night… but I’m also still dodging surprise showers on my motorbike. For those of you here, how are you feeling about the cooler-but-still-wet weather? Cozy and refreshed? Or ready for proper dry season to start already? Either way, I’ll take any excuse for another hot coffee. Here’s to crisp days ahead!

10 days ago I was griping about the lingering rain dragging on into the not-quite-as-cool-as-expected season. Fast forward and it's bone-dry with no rain clouds in sight. The temps have finally plummeted and cooler vibes are here. Better late than never. Grateful for this crisp cold season arrival. Happy Turkey Day 'Muricans!

@Nathan Von Fumetti Thanks Nathan. Back atcha. We had a grilled chicken, som tam, sticky rice and for dessert some steamed pumpkin. This year I am grateful for all of the communities I get to be a contributing member to including this one here.
Canggu Guest House + Coworking?
Hello everyone! I’m looking for a solid long-term guesthouse around Canggu, ideally near Batu Bolong. If you’ve got recommendations from real nomads who’ve tested places, I’m all ears. Also what's your favorite coworking space? Thanks a lot!

Hey Simon! I have friends who visit Indo. Two places they mentioned are Canggu Spirit and Room mates hostel and there's a coworking space inside it. Hopefully this points you in the right direction. They are short walks to the beach. You can always book one for a few days while looking for something else, but at least this way you know where you're going when you land. Safe travels.
Have you considered getting dual nationality?
Hi, I looked at this subject a while ago, but not indepth. I think the Nomad Capitalist has a channel and talks about this a lot. Looking at the state of some western countries, living abroad might not be enough of an insurance policy to insulate us from the craziness. In some countries they have de-banked people for having political views that challenge the national governments preferred ideology, and worse. This has led me to wonder if living abroad might not be enough. What if your own country decided to issue an arrest warrant making it hard to return? Or perhaps decided to not even renew your passport? ... I am not in this situation, but one day we might all be. Who knows. Another reason people look into this might be tax purposes. I have heard that some Americans have tried to renounce their citizenship; to avoid having to pay the IRS, irrespective of whichever foreign country they live in. If so, a 2nd nationality might come in handy. Does anyone here have dual nationality? ... Or have you looked into this? – If so, what did you find out?
