Expat survey: Thailand and Bangkok continue to decline
Expat survey: Thailand and Bangkok continue to decline
Thailand has lost 25 places since 2017 in the Expat quality of life rankings. That sounds about right, although I and my friends felt the slide from about 2015. The survey of 15,000 expats notes data was collected in March 2020.

The report ranked Thailand in 30th place overall, which while above average in the Expat City Ranking 2020, was down ten places from the 20th place it ranked in 2019, and significantly down from the 5th and 8th place ranking in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
Bangkok scored particularly poorly in the Quality of Urban Living Index (53rd) ranking and came in last worldwide for its urban environment (66th), with 64% of expats unhappy with this factor (vs. 21% globally).
An expat from Germany said, “there is awful air pollution in Bangkok and a lack of green spaces”. Expats are also unhappy with the political stability — just 26% rate this factor positively (vs. 61% globally).
Bangkok didn’t score much better in the Urban Work Life Index (50th) does not look a lot better: expats are dissatisfied with their local career opportunities (49% unhappy vs. 34% globally) and the state of the local economy (33% unhappy vs. 18% globally).

Still a great place for single men and gourmands .
Probably not bad if you can settle in a smaller non-touristy city, maybe Udon Thani?

I may be going to hell in a bucket,
but at least I'm enjoying the ride.
