A flight from the US to Thailand costs around $1400 and takes about 18 hours. The first 30 days of stay in the country is visa-free. After that, there's a Business visa for anyone wanting to do business legally in Thailand, a Retirement visa for people 50 years or older, a Tourist visa, and a Thai Elite Visa. This special tourist visa is valid for 5 years and is available to Thailand Privilege Card members.

Looking to rent in Thailand? Typical monthly rent averages between $399 - $1,087. If you're looking to own, a house costs an average of $100,000–140,000.

Thailand’s personal tax rates are generally higher than the US, ranging from 0-35% for residents. There’s also a 7% value added tax on goods and services. If you made $100,000 in Thailand, you’d pay roughly 1% more in taxes.

The pros of living in Thailand are that the cost of living is lower, rent and housing is cheaper, violent crime is lower, about 44% of residents speak English, and you can technically work towards dual citizenship. The cons are that the overall crime rate is marginally higher and tax rates are similar to the US.
