ChatGPT is telling me to go to Antarctica. Not sure about the cost of living there. And besides, I don’t think their food game all that.

Seriously though, where have you spent a considerable amount of time and seen no roaches (the American and German types)?

      First roach I ever saw was in a 5* hotel in the US, lol.

      Been in a couple business lounges in airports that were infested too. Looking at you, Pearson.

    Roaches are everywhere but if you’re clean and have bug spray and roach traps it’ll help, also don’t live on lower floors if you’re in a condominium you’ll have an easier time. You can consider malaysia as an option

      no this is bollocks - I live in the UK and use none of that shite and have never seen a roach, not did I see any in the andes. However if you live in a tropical area - you will see them no matter how much bug spray you sue. Why do people upvite these uniformed posts ? Oh yes because they are also clueless.

      First night in KL, I visited the Chinatown. While eating at an outdoor vendor, I saw a family of roaches chilling not too far from me…

    Roaches are literally everywhere. When humanity dies off, roaches will still be here. They’ll evolve to eat plastic and shit dirt and be the next overlords (maybe).

    Only country almost without roaches is Iceland, but the cost of living is not close at all to Thailand.

    Why don’t you ask chat gpt about living cost comparison antarctica vs thailand and start from there. They might change their idea

    I have seen a few here in Sri Lanka, but only in the cities, I am in the countryside now, only about 100kms outside of Colombo and no cockroaches so far.

    (But I imagine if you travel away from the cities in Thailand you will see them less too…)

    Roaches like heat and moisture, avoid those and you’ll be in good shape. You need to find a huge desert climate somewhere. New Mexico in the states first that bill.

      I’ve definitely seen roaches in Canada in apartment buildings, but thankfully they’re not really flying around outside and coming in the windows like they are in other places.

    I rarely see them in Australia. There are a lot of other animals and sea creatures trying to kill you though.

      I saw them in Sydney and Gold Coast.

      Also Australia isn’t typically similar cost of living to Thailand.
