I will be permanently relocating in 2021 perhaps before that as soon I get a shack in there. In 2014 I decided to move permanently to Thailand, I mean no back and forth to my home country anymore, and since then we lived for almost 2 years close to our land, rented a house in the nearest town about 20km away, and go almost everyday to work on the soil, clean up stuffs, soil compost, install water tanks and a small water catchment (roof like), also in the land there is no electricity or internet, I can't use electric tools and I have to rely on batteries or generator(which I do not have), I have an old solar system that I will use for the shack when it is ready.Posted by Bill Ryan (here)
Who's relocating right now? Where to, and why?
Who would like to, but figure they just can't?
Who's hunkering down till the storm passes? What form is that taking?
What would have to happen, or be imminent, for you to change a strategy of staying put, and just force an emergency move elsewhere? (And if so, where?)
Is anyone having issues where their spouse or partner isn't seeing things the same way as them — whatever that may be?
Today I am living in south of Thailand, we have a daughter and she need schooling, this is another issue for us, because when we move permanently to the land, she will need to keep studying, the closest more or less descent school that I checked is about 50km, another Christian school some 85km, but that would be at least 100km driving everyday, without saying the waiting time.. I feel like I am watching a time bomb, and I am going to run minutes before it explode!!!
Well, me and my wife bought an acre of land in the western Thailand close to the border with Myanmar in 2013, with the possibility to acquire more if necessary (really good price, and no tourists, no major roads, no nothing), she already got her folks living there their entire lives, we always want to live in the "boonies" the corona scam is just speeding up the process.
I got farm land back to my home country it used to be a monoculture farm from my deceased old folks, my plan is to turn it into a permaculture project, that would be another option to us to live in case the Thai government decide to kick the foreign ass outside their country, but unlikely to happen, then I will stay as much as I am allowed to be.
I got issues about living simple, but it is not the kind of issue I really care about, most people that I know can not live the life style I do, and there will always be people criticizing this and that, specially the close ones. My wife is okay with that, she is a former nurse worked for 2 decades in a very busy hospital in Bangkok, and she got enough about the health system (corrupted as hell in her own words).
I hope everyone have a good plan, I know a person here and he lives inside his sailboat (I am not into boats at all, but this one seems to be a 12 meters long), this is another option and perhaps cheaper than moving to the country or somewhere else, sounds like a good plan to be floating around until things get better.
