Moving to Bangkok
Since King Chulalongkorn began implementing western habits in order to appease British sensibilities, Bangkok has continued to blend Siam's customs with western amenities. Moving to Bangkok, expats can experience a wholly different culture within a familiar framework of an international city. Modern business, healthcare and accommodation are all expected in Bangkok but, unlike other destinations, expats can find unusual luxury from the low cost of living. Despite a city with such discrepancies between quality of life, expats will be able to enjoy the very best of a city that seems built for fun.
Yet many aspects of the city can be draining. Bangkok is heavily polluted with a blanket of smog and sickly canal water. Political upheaval makes markets dip and rise, and expats keep a weary eye on protests and headlines. Traffic is some of the worst in the world. Yet, as testament to the city, expats eagerly endure these discomforts to enjoy Bangkok's vitality and plain fun.
