> Thailand sucks. It’s filled with crime and people there are very petty. Usually it takes Americans several years of living there to realize this.
That's such a sweeping, verging on racist, terrible generalisation of Thai citizens. I have one friend who has lived in Thailand since 2002 and another who lived there up until ~2009 before his company shipped him off to the US.
Both have nothing but good things to say about their living experience there and the people they met. Sure you're going to encounter cultural differences (for god's sake don't say anything bad about the monarchy), but that's up to you to integrate. And by all accounts, in Thailand, it isn't that hard to make these adjustments compared to say certain countries in the middle east.
