A few seem possible, a few improbable, some would be wonderful!

I’m wondering where the best place to go is if a world-wide zombie epidemic breaks out.

SE TX was in a horrible drought.. we got some rain recently which has knocked us down from Dust/Inferno Bowl (5) to Charming Desert (3) status.

Just wear a picture of this woman around your neck - guaranteed to make even the most dedicated zombie lose its appetite.

Chiang Mai

All you really need to know is that this idyllic city in the North of Thailand is where famous investor Marc Faber makes his home. Faber is one of the most gloomy people you'll meet in the investment world, constantly issuing warnings about where you should live if the war comes (rural farmland), and what will happpen to the dollar (it will be worth less than toilet paper).
What's more, while Southeast Asia has been a hotspot for war, heroin, massacres, and political turmoil for decades, Chiang Mai has remained a stronghold of peace and stability. That's a great sign that it can probably survive no matter what history throws at the rest of us.

Ok, it is no. 1 and I agree with that and technically we live in San Sai which is a few miles to the North but within the Chiangwat. If things really go to hell, about 100 miles away in Chiangwat Phrae, is Ban Rong Kat. Everyone's food is home grown and people usually walk most places. Friendly.

Safest place?

On a boat in the south Pacific, anchored to a deserted island, thousands of miles from the nearest ‘civilization’.

I am quite happy after almost a year in the Philippines.
It is a third world country, and people are poor, but most are quite happy, and very friendly.
Also, I can live just fine on $500 per month !!!
I have a nice little cottage at a beach.

My previous 4 years were in central Europe, also nice, but expensive.

There is no way that I would return to Obammieland.

If you are left after the rapture, stay away from islands. They are going away.

Thats right my friend. Texas!

There are few places that I would feel safer, if everything fell apart.
