British Expat Explains Why She Left UK for Thailand and Won't Return
A British expatriate, Claudia, has shared her compelling reasons for leaving the United Kingdom and settling in Thailand, stating she will never return. Her decision, made six years ago, stems from a desire for a better quality of life, which she believes is more attainable in Southeast Asia.Claudia cited the UK's persistent grey weather as a significant factor affecting mood, contrasting it sharply with Thailand's consistent sunshine. She emphasized the financial strain in the UK, noting that "everybody in the UK is just scraping to get by" due to a high cost of living and heavy taxation. "You can barely breathe without being taxed in the UK," she claimed.Safety was another critical point for Claudia. She expressed feeling unsafe walking alone at night in the UK, fearing phone snatching, a concern she says is non-existent in Thailand. "I feel so safe here and why would I wanna go back to a place where I feel unsafe?" she questioned, highlighting her experience of never having anything stolen or experiencing sexual harassment in Thailand.
