What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Trang. They wrote...
"Expats in Trang may find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as English is not widely spoken outside of tourist areas. They may also struggle with the different social norms and etiquette, such as the importance of maintaining face and showing respect to elders. The spicy local cuisine can be a challenge for those not accustomed to it. The hot and humid climate can also be difficult to adjust to, especially for those from cooler countries. Additionally, the slower pace of life and the "mai pen rai" or "no worries" attitude can be frustrating for those used to a more fast-paced, time-conscious lifestyle. Lastly, navigating the local bureaucracy can be complex and time-consuming, particularly when it comes to legal matters or obtaining necessary permits and documentation," wrote a member who made the move to Trang, Thailand.
