What do expats find most challenging?

Answer this Question

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Prachuap Khiri Khan. They wrote...

"Expats in Prachuap Khiri Khan often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. Thai is a tonal language and can be difficult to learn, especially for those who are not used to this type of language structure. Another challenge is the difference in social norms and etiquette. Thai culture places a high value on respect and politeness, and there are many customs and traditions that expats may not be aware of. This can lead to misunderstandings or unintentional offense. The pace of life can also be a challenge for some expats. Life in Prachuap Khiri Khan is generally slower and more relaxed than in many Western countries, and it can take time to adjust to this change in pace. Food can also be a challenge for some expats. Thai cuisine is known for its bold flavors and use of spices, which may not suit everyone's palate. Additionally, street food is very common in Thailand, and some expats may not be comfortable with this style of dining. Finally, the hot and humid climate can be difficult for some expats to adjust to, especially those who are used to cooler, more temperate climates," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand.
