I am currently doing some preparations and research to go to Thailand for a longer period of time (1 year+). I'm back in the Netherlands for a few days after a holiday/family visit in Thailand, I liked it so much that I would like to learn the Thai language and live there for a while.

I live in Thailand with my Thai wife for 5 years. And no problems with the corona virus itself. Except that it has become less cozy. Now we have family and acquaintances from Thailand. A few people have had a Covid-19 injection. Some have had the first injection and a few also had the second injection. Now they say that the virus is not dangerous for them and are a little less careful with contacts with other people.
