# Thai woman married to US man says American Dream is dead 2026-08-08T01:42:29+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A Thai woman who moved to the United States three years ago after marrying an American man has gone viral on Reddit, saying she wants to return to Thailand. In a video posted by user u/search_google_com, she says the American Dream is dead, citing the rising cost of living and the daily grind. Her typical day feels like a rat race, work, home, repeat, and she misses Thailand's relaxed lifestyle, friendly people, affordable food, and cheaper healthcare. She also complains that owning a car is essential in the US due to lack of public transport. Reddit users were divided: some agreed about US pressures, while others noted every country has its own stressors. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: American Dream, cost of living, expat life, Reddit, Thailand, US Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/thai-woman-married-to-us-man-says-american-dream-is-dead/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
