Thailand: study, jobs?:

hi caught, i have a few questions about possibly living in thailand but i think i may be coming from quite a different age range and experience than many of the people posting here... so i hope you can still help. im interested in moving to thailand indefinitely with hopes of studying in a monistary for a while, and after finding pretty much any type of work. i know studying buddhisim is pretty easy for forigeners, and it seems to me that Chanig Mai would be a good place to do it, would you reccomend any other places? I would like to stay out of big cities, and i dont want to be in bangkok for any extended period of time. im also curious about how difficult it may be for me to find a job since i dont yet have b.a. . ive done over 2 years of college level study, but havn't finished. is it easy enough to find a job as a forigener if im not picky. im just interested in making enough to get by for now. if i remember correctly i should be able to get by on very little money... seeing that my standards are pretty low. i can only guess in u.s. dollars, but do you think a person can live over there on around $3-400/month? im also curious if forigeners are able to buy land? thanks for any advice (and appoligies to all for my terrible spelling). renee

Laos: thinking of moving there:

hello all. i currently live in seattle wa. and have been seriousally considering moving to laos in a year or two. im curious about how realisic this is and if anyone out there can give me any info. id really appreciate it. firstly im curious about buying land. is it possible for a non citizen to buy say an old house with a bit of land attached to it? ill have some money, but not enough to build a house. how about rent in the ciities, any idea how it translates into us dollars? im also curious about if forigeners can own buisnesses. and about how difficult it may be to find a job as a forigener, (without a b.a.). it sounds like visas are easiest to obtain when you have ties to someone there or a buisiness reason for moving. is it possible to get an extended visa just because you'd like to live and work in laos? thanks a lot for any feed back.
