Living in Phuket. Yes or no?

Many people choose Phuket as their place of permanent residence. The exact figure is difficult to describe, but approximately 10,000 to 30,000 Europeans live on the island all the time. Phuket is a pleasant combination of tropical island and European infrastructure. With a low cost of living, many expats can afford a standard of living much higher than in their home country. In comparison with its neighbors, Thailand is a politically stable country, although in the past there have been military coups. But whatever happens in Bangkok, the rest of the region live quietly. Local residents treat foreigners tolerantly and friendly, it is not difficult to get a visa.

A lot of people live in Phuket. A lot of elderly people used visas for pensioners who give Thailand to those over 50, knowing that a pension in this country will provide them with a higher standard of living. A lot of foreigners found a job in Phuket, mainly in the tourism business. Many got visas by marrying taikas. Many simply "run for visas" regularly to neighboring countries (although in 2014 this cover was covered by the Thai authorities) or live in Phuket for 6 months a year. Many live in Phuket and work remotely. High earnings and, accordingly, a high standard of living, in the absence of the need to acquire a working visa fully suit these professionals.

There is an opportunity to enroll in Thai language courses and get a so-called "student" visa. In a language school in Phuket, you can study for up to 2 years, without having to renew your visa.
