I’ve been looking into a move to Taiwan but i’ve pulled up a few threads here and on Reddit and it seems to be many people suggesting that Taiwan is too boring and Thailand/Vietnam are the places to move to these days. Is there some truth to that or is that coming from jaded expats?

Okay, while I lived in Singapore there were also news stories of Singapore tourists being killed when crossing roads in Taiwan. So it seems the roads are not so safe in Taiwan, but it’s definitely safer than Vietnam. If Foc is trying to compare me to that guy, I am not British nor I am a big drinker…

Well I wouldn’t think I would need to explain this as we all live in cities, there are things like Uber/Grab…

What’s the age demographics like in this forum? Just curious.

When I first visited Taipei and Taichung 15 years ago, for me if I was going to live there it was to be Danshui. The vibe dictated that. Now that I’m here I’m on the east coast. Boring as fuck, but I’m in my 50s so it’s mostly ok. I know, probably not pertinent but Danshui was always in my mind.

Is this Tamsui? That’s what comes up whenever I search for Danshui.

Seems a bit far out though, would you live there in your 20s?

Is Taiwan too boring to move to in 2025?
