Excellent professional Video. Been there several times and you taught me new sights and tricks. Thanks

[@jgalvez81]

Great video. Thank you for the comprehensive insight into your beautiful country.

[@discoverglobeliving]

great video !

[@thesheperd7567]

Bangkok is fine for a holiday. Retire to the coast or better still proper retire to rural Thailand. That's proper retirement

[@300rivers7]

Not sure I would want to live there long term, but a few months out of the year to escape winter in other parts of the world would be perfect.

[@joeawk]

Smart planning. Besides, there are a few countries in ASEAN which are all quite good to visit n stay a few weeks or months.

[@topplacetoLive]

Thanks for a great video!

Thank you for this updated video on retiring to Thailand. 👌

My favourite city . Its of a class on its own . Wonderful .

[@charlesbullghost5491]

I have many reasons not to move their starting 1 to 100!!

[@gauteandreassveen]

I just wanted to add, that the best taxi´s in Thailand is the one that says taximeter on the roof.

[@westcoastlugan7719]

I love Thailand because I felt so relaxed and at home. It was easy to go native. I loved learning about their history, culture and society.

[@roninblue5885]

I totally agree!

[@westcoastlugan7719]

@@roninblue5885 - Hi, Did you ever get a chance to visit that ancient Japanese village in Thailand? There’s a park and museum at site now.

[@tombrandee7500]

nice summary, pretty superficial, but well done for a first impression. good work! but u use "as well" far too often mate ;-)

[@gauteandreassveen]

Thailand is great for expats and foreigners. I´ve been there many times, also living there for a short time.(in Bangkok) I loved it as I was there as an insider since I used to married there. Just a few added details about Thailand, a farang is a white person not a foreigner. And if you buy house in Thailand you need to rent the land it´s on, meaning that the owner of the land can take it back (you loose your house). So be careful of this

[@harpoon9996]

Excellent

[@curtneilson5502]

i heard 260$ for a full time who lives elsewhere. maybe that was rural.....oddly, the part at the end that says farang will NEVER be totally accepted kinda ruined all the good stuff before that; maybe it's already understood,,,,but the way that you said it sounded weird, like a warning or chasing us away

[@orawancarlile6192]

Don't be shy to bargain a price but don't be a bargain at a ridiculous price way low than half of the price. Just glance over for what is posted in the area to know that you are paying at a regular price. There are so many vendors to choose from. A warning is to avoid criticizing any Royals and staying away from Thai politics and periods. Bangkok is not my choice unless you are craving nightlight excitement and people.

[@benkim2016]

Too hot and too noisy to retire in bkk which is a great city to visit once a year though!!

[@tokyospontaneousmeetup3350]

Super enlightening! So very well researched and thought out. I learnt loads; thank you very much! The only thing that baffles me is how few "likes" you've received! C'mon people - show your appreciation - click that "like" button

[@t.nelson9345]

Another great video for me to like and save.

[@iloiloguy]

At one time, I was focused on making Thailand my retirement destination, but in recent years, I’ve heard about how many Thais treat foreigners as ATMs. I’ve heard about abuse from immigration and the police. Laws have been enacted which make life difficult and expensive and sometimes impossible for expat retirees. Foreigners are taken advantage of everyday in Thailand and you are spot-on about the Farang situation. I’m looking elsewhere. I don’t think I’ll ever have the pleasure to enjoy Thailand. 🇹🇭

[@t.q.6639]

If Thailand is on your list, go spend a month there and see for yourself vs. “I’ve heard”.

[@terryashley4674]

@@t.q.6639 Thailand is not on my list of retirement destinations. I prefer someplace that doesn't make it hard to obtain perminate residency. I'm sure Thailand is a fantastic place, but there are many fantastic places around the world where I can go. 👍🏽

[@terryashley4674]

@@pondlt9999 New Zealand has never been on my radar. Everything I've seen and heard about it is positive and I'd love to give it a shot, if I could afford it. I also don't think I'd qualify for a permanent Visa. Sadly, $1500/month won't go far in New Zealand.

[@orawancarlile6192]

I am a Thai and got the same experience whenever I went back to visit. As long as you learn to bargain then you will be ok.

[@rhizomorph-music]

May I give you a quick English tip? In English you don't say "twice less," you say "half." Also, you shouldn't say "fully-equipted"... you should say "fully-equipped." Hope that helps.

[@527ctguy]

This couple needs to live in a place and then give some advice.

[@brucemunro7499]

Not so sure it’ll even be open in 2022.

[@roninblue5885]

I'm hoping it will! A bit of a future prediction, we'll see. It is partially open now but hopefully all doors will be swung open.

[@BangTaoBeach]

Thailand isn't inexpensive any longer. You can still find some good home rental deals, electric prices are lower as are internet/WiFi. If you are of retirement age you have to put approximately $25,000 USD in a Thai bank and even though you do this and get your visa, you are still required to do a 90 day report at immigration. A pain in the ass. Beer and alcohol is double the price of the states, so is cheese, salami's, wine and so on...I speak Thai pretty good (Thais think I speak it very well) so I do well in local stores and markets and pay less than a tourist. One of the biggest misconception is that Thais are laid back and loving people. Get on your motorbike or in your car and you will experience some of the rudest and violent people in the world. Don't get me wrong, there are many wonderful Thai people. I'm in Phuket for six years, lived in Bangkok and Jomtien Beach. I have over 20 years of living in Thailand and first came here over 30 years ago. I know this country and Thai people very well.

[@orawancarlile6192]

You have chosen to be in a tourist trap. So, that's what you got. The locals learned attitude toward "Farangs" from the lower classes of people. The southerner Thais are more selfish due to Islamic influences. And each area of the country is not the same, don't make an assumption that we are all the same. Each region has its own culture and dialect spoken.

[@orawancarlile6192]

@Jerry Springer When you are in Rome, behave like a Roman. Unfortunately racism is only in your head as a foreigner. Thais do not judge about race only the Westerners. We watched how they behave.

[@allanwatts8361]

How much do you spend monthly on expenses? (usd)

It would make a lot more sense to quote the prices in Baht rather than Dollars.

Yes, I was debating that. I had them both but it looked crowded to list both.

[@paulinetan781]

@@roninblue5885 Better to quote in USD. I live here so know the baht. If you don't live here most people don't know the baht well. Retirees from the states are getting paid in USD.

Wrong. Retirees are not getting paid in Thai baht.

Only the rich can afford to retire

[@youtuber6185]

Spend less than you make, stay away from debt , be humble and don’t follow the Jones and you too can retire. If you can’t become a millionaire in the US you have no Financial disciple.
