7 Years in Thailand - Starting Over and Over Again
Every October is a milestone in my life; it’s both my birthday month and the month I first moved to Thailand back in 2017. In fact, I’m pretty sure I boarded my first flight to Thailand on my birthday, October 21st, from Manchester Airport and landed in Bangkok on the 22nd. So, I’ve now been living in Thailand for around seven years-a number that somehow surprises me.
I am not going to lie, this 7th year has been one of the most challenging years of my life, so I made this video to not only mark a milestone but also explain my absence from uploading, and to hopefully share a message of hope to anyone else who is going through a challenging time.

    I got myself a car after I moved to thailand and I live in a small city near Bangkok. I get the chaos and chill at the same time. Whenever I feel bored, I drive around. I would definitely recommend you do the same. Scooters suck. Life is better with a car in thailand

      The DTV looks like a really interesting options. I love Bangkok and have thought of moving there on more than one occasion. I do enjoy the lowermost of living outside of the capital though, and sometimes the slower pace of life... That being said I would not rule out a move in the future.

I passed all of my states requirements as far as taking the cbest and cset, and have experience with classroom instruction, lesson planning, school administration, and working with kids who’s first language is Spanish. I was wondering would that be enough to teach in Thailand ?

    As a Thai, as long as Thailand is a developing country, most jobs should be reserved for Thais. For foreigners, can you accept it when the wages are not in dollars? But in the near future, the employment rate for foreigners may definitely increase because Thailand has a declining birth rate. What you should give back is love and honesty in the country that gives you opportunities. Respecting the culture and learning sincerely in your new home will make everything better. When Thailand has more people from all over the world, the exchange between the government and the intention of those who want to live long-term to make a living is important. The Thai government will be sympathetic and open opportunities soon. In a state that is dangerous to stability, if Thailand is a developed country, there will be more opportunities for foreigners from all over the world. Having a representative and presenting properly will be considered. You can join a group to submit a letter of purpose for staying long-term and conditions. Try it. Today, there are ten types of jobs that foreigners can do. Try to find information.

    I was addicted to FDA approved pain pills, benzos and muscle relaxers for 11 years straight. I got fired from chronic pain management in April 2019. After that, I went to the streets and started doing cocaine while I was searching for a new pain management doctor. In June 2019, whilst in cocaine withdrawal, I watched that documentary “A Leaf of Faith.” My journey with Kratom began the very next day. Kratom shut that “I need one more snort, one more pill, one more escape” noise off in my brain. It allowed me to work on my whys of addiction. I have not been back to pain management in over 5 years. I am a functioning member of society again. I am a thriving mother again. I am no longer a burden to my kids. I will be forever grateful and thankful that I accidentally found lab-tested whole-leaf powder Kratom. I now pass on my journey, wisdom and science to help those struggling with addiction, chronic pain, anxiety and depression. Yours truly, Kratom advocate/activist from Colorado est. 2019.

    --- My Kratom journey began about four years ago. Struggling with severe anxiety and age-related pain, I didn't want to turn to addictive prescription narcotics because I had once been an addict. However, Kratom gave me my life back, free from anxiety and minor pains. If not for this wonderful leaf, I don't know where I'd be-either still suffering from my anxiety and pain or addicted to prescription narcotics. Thank God for Kratom!

I can not smoke pot because it gives me very bad worse anxiety. I was so afraid to try this because of all the horrible stories I have seen about this even killing people. All the Dr's will not give me any pain meds anymore. I was on Percs 10mgs 4 times a day and they really helped me with all my problems. How many pills of kratom do I start out taking without harming me in any way?
