Well, as with all other countries that i know, taking one unit
souldn't be taxed for indivitual use for a longterm stay. I
have not been to brazil so i can't 100% confirm. You won't
have that Problem with Thailand for sure.
Regards to your second question, i will try to give some in-depth
info with regards to differnet intersts:
Food:
-Any fast food meal for around $2 and any beer for around $1,
Thai meal for around 1-2$.
-Foods are sold everywhere on the outdoor stall on streets.
-there are more than 1000 variety of thai Dishes and fruits alone.
-Chinese, japanese, italian, Arabic,...foods every corner.
Btw not much interst in american franchise foods among tourist.
-Tourism and safty:
Thailand has around 11 Million toursit arrival every year mostly
from western countries. Thai peolpe never rob and kill you, but
treat you like a Boss. (they rob your money in respected ways).
over 3 million forigners are leaving in thailand mostly bachelores.
-Transportation and infurstrature:
2nd most car traffic conjacted city in world, so i think it's not
adviceable and comfortable to drive your own car.
9 miles taxi ride will cost you 2$. You can use under ground
metro, Air train station, and paid express ways. Bangkok is
ranked 6th city in the world for tall highrises.
-People:
Officialy 65 million with another 20 million bordering countries.
Bangkok with urban is 20 million. Peolpe are extremly friendly
form outside (god knows what's from inside). 90% budha, 10%
muslims.
- Entertainment:
some peolpe come to Visit historical sights, Shopping, resorts
that look like paradise, and legandry sexlife. Bangkok city
doesn't have beaches. Pattaya is nearest attraction, and
pukhet, kou saumai, krapi has most beautifull resorts, and
chaingmai has reputation for best standard for living, but
might feel little lonely, because lake of forigners. (70% in
Bangkok alone)
-Climate:
Summer: April-July 28-37 celcious
winter: Agust-Oct 20-28 celcious raining most days
spring: Nov- Feb most pleasent climate
-Language:
it's Thai. Peolpe don't expect you to speak thai, and will be
surprised if you do. english is widely understood. so no
language problem.
- for Daytrading bussiness:
you can lease apartment for for even 4-6 monthes and cost
you 250$ only. Net cafes are everycorner.
I trade from furnished apartment (hotel) for $500 and extra
70$ for ready in-room DSL with damn fast speed you need.
I take my laptop and a desktop with 2 LCDS with me always.

Yes, I live at the beach. In Rio I can definiteley get you some leads.
No worries. I think like this: if you haven't figured it out why you should go to Brazil instead of Thailand you have some things to work on . I have been to both places. Let me ask you this. What are your main reason for travelling? Calm Beaches for photos? Definitely Thailand. Surfing beaches? Definetely Brazil. Old history, museums etc? Both but in different ways. Looking for wonderful nature and variety. Brazil. Warm and interesting culture? Definitely Brazil. Women? Do you prefer Asians or South Americans? Thailand wouldn't be EVEN an option for me. But then again, taste is all personal. Furthermore, the tourism I find in Thailand is the explored one. If you want to find a different track I know what I would choose. But then again, this is my taste. I am almost sure you are joking, but just in case...
Do not forget most of Latin America has been run for decades by military juntas usually backed by the USA.
Also, do not forget that the same countries have been robbed and spoiled in the colonial period of their history. I am talking about centuries...
This is more likely to explain the origin of the problems they actually encounter, rather than their (supposedly) "leftist political class".
My man, forget Brazil, see the attitude of brazillian
traders, i can see you are beging to get proper info.
Give Thailand a try, much lower cost of living, Friendliest
people on earth (they need your money desperatly &
taken respectfully) and 1000 times safer and more fun.
=====================================
Luv the pinapples from Thailand;
and the deep respect they have for elephants in Asia.
Have done enough business in Argentina /Uruguay , thru San Paulo Brazil to make a few comments.
There are many good reasons why car insurance is so high in SA;
but enjoyed the friendly Argentina people there and yes spanish /english pace is slower , except city driving.
Argentina used to be one of most prosperous nations;
still much much safer overall than USA & they deeply, care & respect North Americans.
