Ranong, Thailand
What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Ranong. They wrote...
"Expats in Ranong often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not many locals speak English fluently. The Thai language is tonal and complex, making it difficult for foreigners to learn and understand. Another challenge is adapting to the local food, which can be quite spicy and different from Western cuisine. Some expats may also struggle with the lack of Western food options in Ranong. The pace of life in Ranong is much slower than in Western countries, which can be frustrating for expats who are used to a faster, more efficient lifestyle. Understanding and respecting the local customs and traditions can also be challenging. Thai culture places a great emphasis on respect and politeness, and unintentionally breaking these norms can lead to misunderstandings. The hot and humid climate in Ranong can be uncomfortable for expats who are not used to such weather conditions. Lastly, the lack of Western-style healthcare facilities and English-speaking doctors in Ranong can be a concern for some expats," wrote a member who made the move to Ranong, Thailand.
