Recently I have been asking myself: Does Thailand relax a person on his path of self-improvement? Or is it not, and there is no need to live in Russia, when much in Thailand is simpler, better and cheaper? It would be interesting to hear different opinions on this matter, both from those living (spending the winter) in Thailand or another country, and from those who live in Russia..

Thailand relaxes
All the time, while I was wintering in Tae, I had a feeling of lightness and simplicity, which I almost never had in Russia. I already wrote about this in the article Why we winter in Thailand, and now I will partially repeat myself. We are talking about daily matters and related to human life. What do you need to feel comfortable and do your favorite things and work? - Accommodation, food, clothing, transport. These 4 things make almost 99% of the convenience in life. And in Thailand everything is very simple with them. Not only is it cheap, there is also no need to waste your time looking for something, or finding intermediaries to resolve issues. Literally a couple of days for the arrangement, and everything, further along the knurled.
As a result, it turns out that you kind of relax and stop developing, because everything is easy, nothing needs to be done, everything is already good. I met people who are just in Tae «live», all day long. For example, they rent out an apartment in Moscow, and they don't need to worry about anything. Personally, I would not have been able to, I would have got bored. But the fact that working capacity decreases and you want to relax is.
Moscow is annoying
Upon arrival in Russia, a bunch of everything piled up, from which I had lost the habit of so much in six months. I have to constantly waste my time: to rent an apartment you need from a week to a month or more, or an intermediary; you need a license for a bike, which is difficult to obtain; the food is terrible and you have to look for it, while there is no fruit and you won't go to a cafe every day; clothes for 4 seasons and cold. This is not a complete list. Thus, I have to give part of my life to completely unnecessary and uninteresting things, instead of devoting them to my work and hobbies..
But! If you want to live, be able to twirl. Therefore, you have to come up with something, allocate time more efficiently, calculate, analyze, try. And it seems like the end result is development ...
Why pay more?
Hence the question arises, is there any point in paying more (money and time) when there are countries where everything is easy and simple? Or if you go there, then you will relax so much that you can only live there.?
Most likely, everyone will have their own answer to this question, since a person may be at different stages of his development and he simply does not need this mouse fuss to survive in Russia. However, I would love to hear the opinions..
P.S. Of course, Thailand is not heaven, and it has its own difficulties, I understand this perfectly, and in this case, this is not at all about that..
P.P.S. Those who earn decent money will probably find it difficult to understand the term «survival in Moscow», since you can greatly simplify your life by solving many issues at the expense of money. Although such things as traffic jams, lack of quality food, terrible ecology and so on, it is not a fact that it will be possible to decide.
