AIBU to want to live in Thailand for 2 years

[Anusername]

We travelled to Thailand for holidays when we were young (pre kids) and we really enjoyed it. Hence we have been going back to Thailand for tourism many times over the years. I really love the idea of living there for 1-2 years to chill out and relax, but this idea doesn’t sound realistic and my husband has never really acknowledged it although he also reckons that Thailand is our favorite holiday spot.

We now have two kids — one six years old and the other 3 months, and I’m still thinking about it. It sounds a bit extreme to just migrate to a foreign country to live (we may not work there) and to put everything on pause. Just wondering if anyone has actually done it with school aged kids? Moving to another country for one or two years just to experience a different culture.

AIBU to do it?

What are your working/ earning arrangements? I have a friend living and working in Thailand but she is married to a Thai citizen and works for an international company.

@endofthelinefinally I was not the op but we plan to move in 3 years time as a family. We own our own company so we are not location dependent and plan to buy a property before we move. But I think the digital nomad visas offer flexibility for several types of jobs that are not location dependent.

Try Belize instead. Visas are far easier.
