Wearing a bright smile, he indicated that although Ghana was not a bad place to live, he now prefers life in Thailand.
Having left Ghana in 2014, the young man stated that his situation in Thailand is much better compared to when he was in his home country.
He mentioned the low cost of living as a major factor that makes him prefer Thailand to Ghana.
“Here in Thailand, food is very affordable. You can get whatever you want at a good price. The income you earn from work is also sufficient to meet your needs.
“But back home, even though you may be gainfully employed, you often have to take a loan to survive. Personally, looking at the struggles I endured back in Ghana, I would say Thailand has truly helped me.”

Reactions to living in Thailand
Social media users who took to the comment section of the video shared their views on the statements made by the man.
Kwadwo Afta indicated:
“Sure, food is so cheap. Imagine buying even McDonald’s or KFC between 99–200 Baht (30–70 GHS) with low purchasing power in Thailand. Also, the type of room and rent you have to pay, between 3,000–10,000 Baht, is impressive. Since 2020, transport fares have been the same: TSB buses are max 25 Baht, red buses 8 Baht, MRT Blue Line 45 Baht, with the exception of BTS sky trains that can go over 100 Baht. The boats are also cheap to travel on. I admire the economy compared to ours.”

“There’s nowhere like home, only if you are not doing well.”

“Are there jobs in Thailand? I’m in Cambodia.”
