10 Life Changing Adjustments i Made For Thailand

[@enough1494]

Thank you dear! I was widowed at 39, with four little ones. At 55 I met a guy gave him 5 years, but, I really was to used to being alone! Now I am 67 still alone, tiny living, playing grandmother and traveling freely 8 months out of the year. My party days were done, long before, by early thirties I was having baby after baby all planned. But, did not plan his departure. That alone made me so strong, people just get in my way! lol I get it “mate”…..live cheap go far is my motto now…….thanks for the video. During the holidays, when I am in the US, it is a bit harder to explain my life, women my age stopped surfing, and jungle trekking! lol Happy Holidays to all! 🙌🕊💕

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thank you for sharing this, it was great to read and i can totally understand. I prefer being on my own sometimes. I hope life is good for you and hope you can do some surfing again one day 🤣 Thanks again and Happy Holidays. ♥️

[@marhar39]

Just discovered your vids as I plan my own retirement this year in Thailand - well done! Love the north and this is my first glimpse of Phayao ... spectacular looking place. Thanks!

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching. Sone really nice towns around the north.

[@BrianPolito]

I didn't always agree with you, but this is your best video ever. Well done!

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Nice one Brian. Cheers 👍

[@thepeppercorn6149]

My wife and I visited Phayao for New Year (after watching your videos). You would hardly have recognized the place. Mass plantings of colorful flowers in full bloom along the lake front, tons of coloured lights, massive pop concert and market. The fireworks at midnight were amazing. We had a marvelous time. Keep up the good work and take it easy man, take it easy.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

That's great! Nice to hear this. Phayao is one of my top places. Thanks and Happy New Year.

[@west-man]

Your heartfelt videos are incredibly genuine. You clearly pour your soul into every word. You're the best on KZbin with these talks.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thanks man! I'm not sure about that, but these sort of vlogs do come natural to me. Cheers.

[@d.r.656]

Realest blogger in Thailand! ❤️ Take it easy man, take it easy!

[@inKanadaleben]

I can relate to most of the points you have made. I immigrated to Canada in my mid 20th and have been living here now for almost 30 years. Love life over here dearly, but also enjoy my roots.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Nice one, thanks for sharing.

[@GoingGoingGoneCraigWyatt]

In my early 40s, single, this all made so much sense to me. Keep the good Wayne.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@MilesRelentless]

Thanks for sharing that. I’ve been down a similar road myself. Back in NY, I was dealing with some mild depression, caught up in drinking, partying, and leaving friends behind. Changing my environment and traveling solo turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Nice! Great to here about someone elses journey in life.

[@michaelhillard6158]

Thanks a lot for sharing ! You really engaged my interest explaining how you had worked out your doubts and contradictions. You seem to have ended up contented and in a positive frame of mind. And in this video, despite its main theme, you've managed once again to highlight what a hidden gem Phayao is.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thanks! I can't complain, life is good. Phayao is such a gem, this setting was perfect for this video. It's one of the great places of the north.

[@SilverfoxJB]

Left the UK in 2008 with my Wife and Kids. Been staying in Malaysia since 2009. We all love it and none of us wish to return. We had a good life in the UK, but we just felt there must be something better. There is, we went back to the UK for 18 months after Covid, staying we friends we had a great time, but, we could not wait to get back. Financially we are living on the edge, but still prefer this life. My two Sons are married to Asians, and have had great experiences they would never have had in back in (beautiful) Devon.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Nice to hear this. I liked Malaysia but I need to spend more time there, learning the best places. It would be tough for me to go back to the UK now. I count myself lucky to be from Devon though, it could be worse 🤣

[@SilverfoxJB]

@@WalkAboutWayne Yeah, We moved to Dartmouth when we first got Married and raised our family in Devon finishing up in Tiverton. Loved it, but we had the wanderlust.

[@EpicOfMarco]

Sheesh. I am 24 years old and I already think like this. Having done a lot of inner work and finally stepping into my authentic self by utilising my innate self-reflective nature, I see the beauty and wonder in life, transcending the illusion of ego. I am also not perfect but through embracing the pain and trauma I learnt to transform my life. No longer bound by opinions, the need for validation and the judgment of myself and others. The world is a mirror, the universe (you-in-verse) reflects that which you have within. My emotions no longer take hold of me as I now observe them, as I am the container for the temporary experience of the (e)nergy-in-(motion). Such wonder in both polarities in life. And much to be grateful for.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

So good to read this, i wish i felt like that at 24. You are going places man. Thanks

[@mandobaron]

Thanks for this. I’m 35 and moving alone to Bangkok in January. A lot of what you are talking about is very relatable!

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Nice! I hope it all goes well for you in Bangkok buddy.

[@Pauly183]

I'm 53 and can relate to a lot of this. Thanks for sharing.

Wise words from Wayne, Thanks

[@Darryl_Smith]

Bang on mate. Just turned 60 - think I am 40 - body says 70...🤣

[@WalkAboutWayne]

🤣 The aches and pains tell me I’m not in my 20s anymore.

[@ChilloutLars]

Being happy and content in our own skin is priceless. Fear of the unknown can be paralysing for some. Conquer that fear. It's like a set of wings.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Very true Lars, great words mate.

I've always enjoyed watching your uploads Wayne. You are such a genuine spirit with a rich tapestry of life experience. Stay authentic & blessed.

This video really resonated with me! I appreciate the words of Wisdom! Sabai Sabai!! PEACE!

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thanks! Sabai Sabai 👍

[@stevens8785]

Nice one Wayne. The majority rings true with me. Mates of mine used to travel here there and everywhere alone and I was pretty insecure in that respect. Yes, the what ifs basically consumed the brain and the safety of home won over for quite some time. Finally I got over that once I travelled with a mate or two. Cheers. 🤩

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Cheers mate! Yes, these are all hurdles i had to get over. I guess we all have to with age.

[@desmcleod2604]

Great vlog mate making me understand things much more clearly

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thanks buddy

[@nigel4776]

Blimey I had no idea you were such a philosopher, great to hear what you've got to say

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Lots of similar vlogs on the channel mate, it’s not all skittles and champagne videos 🤣🤣. Cheers Nigel mate 👍

[@baaser900]

Thank you Wayne sincerely for sharing your life so openly, honestly and perfectly including these ten points. All ten points are spot on and relatable and I needed to hear it. I'm in my 50's and can more than relate to every word and need a push/inspiration to start living again. I've been to Thailand and love it, I've been to many provinces and driven all over but with my Thai girlfriend and also with her family who are from rural Thailand. That relationship is now coming to an end and I will be on my own and have been a bit lost in direction and hesitant to start life anew. I'm living in Canada as is she and I also have never travelled on my own. My 'dream' was to move to Thailand with her however now it will have to be on my own. There comes a time in life when change comes and you have to learn to live with it and embrace it, and accept yourself as you are. Watching your vlogs, particularly this vlog has come at the prefect time and has given me a clarity and introspection of myself and to learn not to get trapped by only dreaming and not acting. Thanks again for sharing and so perfectly summarizing all of these points. Cheers

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thanks for the great message and thank you for watching. I hope one day you can move to Thailand. You will be fine on your own. The best thing i ever did was come here alone. Thanks again.

[@charlesstoeng9166]

Great video mate! It mirrors my experience a fair bit.

Thank you. Mate

[@dennispack4119]

I can remember the day I said to myself, "You have to stop telling people your dreams ... and start doing them." Have never looked back. Great advice.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

That's right! I always use to do that. "I'm going to do this, i'm going to do that". Best to just say nothing and do it. Thanks

[@knight-errant]

Nice one Wayne....I did the same as you, I am also in Chiang Mai right now. I started 13 years ago. I am also an Englishman. Not missing home.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Nice mate! It’s a good life right 👍

[@lmarcus8697]

Never say going back home. Thailand is your home now . Own it . Your story is one of making the right moves and good on you

[@WalkAboutWayne]

England is always my home, but yes, I don’t have any plans to live back there yet. Thanks mate

[@lindawilson795]

Very introspective video. Are you going to spend your retirement in England?❤

[@davidkemp5798]

You can never truly call somewhere your home when you have to report every 90 days. One rule change could see you forced out. Expats in Thailand are merely very long term tourists.

Very valid points that I can certainly relate to. Im 60 and still haven’t let go or give up what you did. My hat goes off to you brother.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thanks for watching mate, good luck with the move!

[@ColinC33]

Just catching up been on the move to freezing Chiang rai. I like you did lots to excess and enjoyed every moment but there was payback as in mental health so it was time to move on. So now living here with my family I am happy but find myself reambering being a kid and my life with my late parents how lucky I was back then. I do miss home a lot and friends and familiar surroundings. But Wayne now I dont care what people think about me but cant figure if that good or bad thing but my life here is one hundred times better then back home. Thanks for your honesty it made me think.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Nice one Colin! Yes, bit nippy out now right. I was nearly in Chiang Rai again myself a few days back. I decided not to in the end. I must admit, i do miss a few things from back home, but i know i would hate being back there . Cheers mate.

[@BrianJerome-fx1mi]

Great content Wayne and I enjoyed your honesty.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thank you Brian 🙏

[@adrianskipper-i8o]

A nice philosophical chat about things . The dreaming can be creative or a way of procrastination . Good to watch out for not taking action. Cheers mate

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thanks mate 👍

[@Earl_Richter]

Nice chat, man. I'm a few years older than you and can totally relate to what you're saying. I've been through most of what you talked about. Never been called granddad at a club before (Ouch!) but I felt like one when it finally hit me one night that I'd become the old man in the club that my friends and I used to laugh at. Haven't been back since (just had to admit my time had passed and it was time to move on...lol). I'm a big fan of music from the 70's, 80's and most of the 90's. I've tried to like the music of today but don't like most of it, TBH. But I never wanted to be that older guy preaching to young people about how music today isn't as good as the music of my youth, so I don't vocalize it. Always enjoy your personal thoughts vlogs. Keep up the good content!

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thanks Earl, i remember my last night in the club, i had the getting older moment, put my glass down and went home. I never went out again after that. I stopeed being angry with new music and things changing also. I was angry for a while, then i relised it has to move on. Thank you buddy.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thank you 👍

[@Heathrow75]

Everything you said Wayne is so true and what a lot of men think about including me, most days. Especially 80,90s holding onto that nostalgia seems to be something I can’t let go. My wife and I talk about a lot of these subjects you have spoken about in this video for many years now. We are both heading towards the big 50 and don’t know why it went so quick ! It’s very hard to think forward you have done so well with your journey mate.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Nice one buddy!

[@Flowersboww]

Welcome to Thailand, I hope you find something good here.🙂

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thank you! Good luck with your channel 🙏

I think you've really hit on some key issues, at least for some of us. Many of these points are exactly what have kept me sitting on the fence. You've pointed them out nicely. Appreciated.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thanks! I was on that fence for years. I'm sure you'll get off it soon. I still get back on the fence sometimes.

I had a similar 20’s, 30’s, only difference is I was quite a high earning professional, but partied hard for many years. I recently sold all my DJ kit, it was easier than I thought to let go. Nothing wrong with moving on and closure. I’m in Pha Chana Dai (most eastern point in Thailand) arrived Sunday to Bangkok, travelling for a month.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

I sold everything except my vinyl, it's the hardest thing to let go. I know i have to do it, but damn it's hard. I was collecting vinyl since i was 13. Nice, have a good time travelling buddy!

Great video once again Wayne. Everyone of the ten adjustments you mentioned are so true, although when you talked about cutting things off, I thought and then began hoping and praying that you never stop seeing the ladies! haha But, seriously, your journey in life has made you very wise and it has made you into the special man you are today! I love your honesty and all of your videos! Take it easy man!

Thanks mate! I could never cut out the ladies 🤣. Life is good now, we all need to make those changes when we get older. Take it easy, man.

I am a little concerned retiring myself at 45 since I only have a retirement. But no pension / social security. Thank you!

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thanks Casey, much appreciated. That info would have to be saved for a video mate but how long is a piece of string. Everyones needs are different, impossible to answer. I will have a very small pension (if I get there). I might have a video about this coming in the future.

[@ChimpsAI]

Well said, Wayne. I am 51 and am going through similar life adjustments. The complexity of life will fade away when you stop striving to be something you are not. The only thing to really fear is realizing this too late.

my question is the single easy life you have in thailand sounds great, but would you still be as happy without youtube to keep your mind occupied. i think that main goal in life is being happy and keeping your mind occupied. without that drink and drugs are waiting

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Sure, I've said on vlogs before that KZbin has helped me stay in Thailand. But that's life, right? Everyone has to have something to be occupied, like you mentioned. You're right about keeping occupied. I will add, I'd already been a changed man back home for some years though and I didn't have KZbin. But I agree, you need something and it's easy to fall back to old habits. Cheers.

Hey Wayne, after several years of travelling and living between the worlds( Asia and Germany) I was exhausted of moving. I just want to arrive and find a place where I also have the chance to make friends and regular social contacts. Since I work from home life is very lonely in germany. I hardly see my friends and they have their own families. I think a lot of giving it a try in Thailand because I spend some time there already between 2008 and 2017. And when i listen to my heart it always points towards Thailand. After 8 years trying to settle in Germany and after a divorce that really affected my mental health I feel i must get out of my head and just start change things because they wont get better here. Did you make friends where you live? Would you say it is possible to create a network of good people around you? I can be alone for most of the time but it would be awesome to have a gym buddy or soemone that loves food as much as i do. What are your experiences with friendships in thailand...between expats and also with locas. Thanks so much!! All the best from Dortmund Germany

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Hi Micky, great to read your comment. I agree, I don't like to move around to much, that's why my base is in Chiang Mai. Sure, I've made many friends, some Thai and some expats. I enjoy my own time sometimes but yes you do need people around sometimes. A big hello to you in Dortmund, my favourite German football team 👍

[@Deadfoot-Dan]

You know that old saying "You can't go home again"? Well, it's true. Home is not the same, and neither are you. You sure picked an idyllic setting to discuss this, and don't sell yourself short on a relationship man, the right girl might be out there on your next trip. When are you coming back to your stomping grounds? I want to have a beer if you get back here this week, I got a souvenir for ya. Getting rid of my posessions will be hard, the biggest hurdle I have to get over to move here.

When you are under 30, you want to have a large group of cool friends and be part of some "in-crowd". As you get older, you realize that lifestyle is somewhat of an illusion and a small number of good friends is enough. Everyone else just comes and goes.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

That’s so true, nothing really matters once you get to that certain age.

party every weekend (nope) used drugs (nope) drank a lot (nope) didnt have a regulair job (well allmost) having friends (nope) having a relationship (nope) dreaming (definetely) acting on my dreams (maibe) buying more than i need (yup) if i where to find a job that allows me to live in asia or another cheap country i would be there in a flash might be able to live a simpler life if i where to find more comfort in just being happy if i where to sell everything i own at a good price i probably would be able to live there for 5 years but without income it wouldnt last verry long after that and i be left with nothing at all

Am surprised you can live in Thailand with what income? Do you have a pension? I would love to know. I'm working my a** off for my retirement with little stress... 😮

[@_Alfa.Bravo_]

... jealous jellyfish?

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Surprised? Why surprised? Thousands of westerners live in Thailand. I’m just the same as anyone buddy, I worked my ass off the same. No magic about being here, just graft and having a few income streams 👍
