Hi Prepper, interesting article. I have lived in Thailand for 15 years and will continue doing so. Being a fellow libertarian, I can tell you why: This is a place where you can have a comfortable life with relatively little taxation and government interference in your life.
Many of your comments had much truth to them, but not the one about hospitals. There are inexpensive private ones, as well as really good government ones, where you can pay a bit extra and get excellent service. Thailand is a place where you can put a little money in the bank and pay for your healthcare out-of-pocket. That means you can shop around for your healthcare needs, and not be bugged down by government and insurance companies. Is that a good alternative to Obamacare or what?
Strangely enough, you did not list corruption as one element you hate about Thailand, like a lot of other people do. I actually find the corruption here useful. As a libertarian, I value the possibility to buy ones way around rigid government regulations instead of being a victim of them. Since no country seems to want to create a society with limited regulations, this is the next best alternative to the libertarian state. Perhaps you need to come back, but this time not as a teacher! I have my own publishing business here, and I deal with really nice people, not at all like the teachers and school administrators you have met.
