Personally, I am going there this summer because of the following reasons:
- Aircon - yes, Europe sucks in that you barely find air con in most places.
- The sun.
- Cheaper than Spain, France, Germany etc.
- Better infrastructure than Greece, eastern Europe or the Balkans.
- For me, it is more my crew. There are more Americans there with VC or software background compared to say Marbella, where there is a lot of maffia.
- Seems to be less touristy than many other top destinations.
I just checked the prices and living in Lisbon isn't that far off from Berlin, so it's not cheap anymore lol
If you go to touristy places you get touristy prices.
According to Nomadlist Porto for example is 25% cheaper than Berlin, while Lisbon is only 10% cheaper.
But in one you get sea views and in the other you live in dirt. Not really comparable.
Don’t you read the several ”might” in that sentence? Way too confrontational.
Yep, I read it. Hopefully you can see how there “might” be some room for interpretation there
That said, I apologize - seems I got it wrong. Not the first time I’ve done so! Hope you have a good trip in Thailand either way.
You took it 100% the wrong way dude.

You go! <3
Leaving Bournemouth, UK, for Stockholm's archipelago on Thursday.
Then plans were Thailand but as @ben might be out of country, I might delay that and that means I'm kinda wide open. Could end up in Sardinia or Sicily, or Marbella, or Zanzibar. As I said, wide open.
Also, I currently support myself as a systematic stock trader and if by luck I hit a jackpot I might just decide I'm getting a large flat in LA over the summer.
Sorry, not much clarity, but at least for the coming weeks I'll be in Stockholm archipelago.
I know you had mentioned wanting to come to Thailand before and asked some questions about the country and I answered some of them, but to be very clear I never once asked you to visit. I mean, I thought you mentioned you were coming here on a Muay Thai visa of some kind. Is that not the case?
I’m always happy to meet WIPers if they happen to be in my area or passing through on the way to somewhere else, but considering I didn’t ask you to visit in the first place, to say that you’re thinking about changing your travel plans because I’m not here is a strange thing to say.
EDIT: I don't know if I took your post the wrong way or not. If it's more of a "hey, thinking about going to Thailand anyway and I might as well go at a time when other makers are there" -- then sure, I get that.

Hmm, you’re raising fair questions. I always knew it would be hard, didn’t think about the new model upgrades though.
Not an answer but such clean design mate, love it.
Lol.
