I've spent a limited amount of time living abroad -- 4 years working in the UK, three months working in Japan, and three months working in Malaysia. (None of these were flying jobs.)

The UK was great. But you could not pay me enough to live and work in Japan again.

As for Thailand, though, I'd go fly a 172 if they'd pay me to do it in Bangkok Have spent four months there over five years and just can't wait to go back...
