Freedom in Thailand

Freedom in Thailand - How we escaped and built a bungalow and pool resort

This book is about finding freedom in an unfree world and our story of how we escaped the restrictive UK and built a beautiful bungalow and swimming pool resort in Issan, North East Thailand. The sad thing is that most people in the western world actually believe they are free, but in reality, are trapped in the system and live week to week or month to month, with no ability to save money due to the horrendous rents, council tax and all the other bills and regulations one is caught up in.

After travelling the world several times in my lifetime, Thailand is probably one of the best and most freedom loving places I have ever lived and have now retired to. It’s not for everyone as many people get culture shock when they come here for the first time and can’t stand how the Thai's think and get things done. And even after over 30 years of living in and out of Thailand, even I am still shocked at the things we see every time we venture out of our little paradise resort into clown-world. Like the many motorbikes driving the wrong way towards us on the inside lane, everyone wearing masks but no crash helmets and the crazy accidents they show on Thai TV every night, has to be seen to be believed. This is truly like living in the Twilight zone.

But Thailand also has it's good side, fantastic scenery, nature, beaches, amazing food, the weather can be extreme but is still beautiful, five star hospitals, no waiting lists to see a doctor for anything as one can go private for very little money. Amazing shopping centers in Bangkok and Phuket but the most important thing is...

How FREE I feel compared to living in the UK.
