Thanks Mitch. A good reason to move to Thailand is their medical facilities which rival ours at a fraction of the cost. I would venture to say better than ours because the Thais are dedicated to their professions for virtuous reasons not money. They are an unusual people. They are 93% Buddhist and the divorce rate is 6 out of 100. America, 78% Christian, is 49 our of a hundred. Their religion promotes self sufficiency and generosity, and reflects the land of smiles.
