Thanks!

[@JohnnyStrides]

Thanks Dennis!

[@Guaicoboi]

Johnny Strides that's the smartest decision a person can make, buying outside of Canada, in a tropical climate, where the ppl are very welcoming and friendly

[@tejida815]

An April 1 joke that was easy on the eyes. I hope you all have a lovely spring in Canada 🇨🇦👏👋

[@apscoradiales]

-20C windchill in Montreal!

Johnny might like to enjoy the taste of durian next. Welcome to south east asia..

[@Firestorm055x]

You nearly had me fooled, but not this time!😂

[@NoName-vx6up]

You're a savage, Strides. I was going to say welcome to the club, but then I saw the comments and noticed the date.

[@SilverFox_487]

If it's not an April fools joke,then it's the smartest thing you could have done! I'd say we'll done!!

[@robertrudick2492]

Congratulations. Good luck. Smart move

Cool! I won $30 million dollars & I'm gonna buy a house in Forest Hill! 😆 Happy April Fools!

If this is not a joke, congratulations Johnny. This is a good solution for the housing crisis in Toronto.

Johnny, this was an awesome video. Well done. Definitely continue to highlight how insane our housing market is.

Happy April Fools Johnny! 🎉 Thanks for a great video I can tell you put a lot of work into it very creative ❤

There's a good chance that it's not an April Fools joke , I have a feeling it's all true.

7:35 mark. Johnny’s really moving there! Lol

[@raycanuck7541]

Congrats Johnny! very nice apartment. You were promoting Canada and Toronto for many years and end up moving to Thailand. 🙂Frankly you have good reasons why. Hope you enjoy your new home but don't forget about Toronto. 👍

Congratulations, and a nice little slap on the Canadian housing market from a Canadian! Cheers, all the best!

I don't care where you live. Just keep making great videos. That place was really nice. Happy April 1st.😊

[@aldeiceci818]

Just got back from a 6 week exploratory vacation in the area..80k is correct for a 1 bedroom condo..Personally I prefer to rent..Similar condos for 500$ per month year lease..North America sucks, it’s the only way to go..Ever since I got back to Canada, I’m depressed with the prices of everything that is steadily rising..Today the new 23% so called carbon tax is in effect that will cause more havoc..

[@wrestlingterrier8366]

It's happening all over Europe too! Heading to Latin America or places in Asia is the best thing to do as the West and its economy push us out ! SEA is safer than most of Latin America though.

[@D33Lux]

@@wrestlingterrier8366 Those who end up moving to other countries. Please don't bring along your liberal views and respect the culture of the place you're moving too. People don't like dealing with bad attitudes of foreigners.

Congratulations Johnny! You bought a nice condo overlooking the Gulf of Thailand. It is a really good buy.

😂😂😂😂 ya fellow Canadians all missed the que to the joke.. John "never " removed his dark sunglasses 👓 sunglasses

Its beautiful sensible move buying it❤❤❤Congrats

I was about to say "Congratulations!" then I remembered it's April 1 - congratulations!

[@user-pz5mu4rd8w]

Me too

[@CalvinJones-zu1ok]

I bet most of the viewers are here for Toronto videos and live streams! If you move to Thailand, the views and subscribers will slow down a lot!

Yes I could of lived there but i am Canadian who loves Canada

[@mattbross6517]

Good April Fools joke, I wound up much more impressed with the building from the inside that from its first appearances from the outside!

You had me going for a little while! Very funny April fools joke!

[@jeank5410]

Good one, last year it was “I’m leaving Toronto” this year it’s “I brought a place abroad” so next year …???? 🤣🤣🤣

Great that I read the comments before I watched your video.

Buy the condo Johnny!! #1 fan from Waterloo

[@gabygaedecke2411]

Okay, you got me for the first 15 minutes. Happy April Fool's Day. And BTW, maintenance costs in Etobicoke are around $850/month.

[@JohnnyStrides]

Yikes!

[@bwjvlogs]

Well we all know he’s not joking when he says the Canadian housing market is a joke! And probably be the smartest decision with the way things are headed over here….

[@lauras2196]

was really really happy for you

Great place. Good luck in your new adventures.

Beautiful sharing upload and thanks again Jhonny and stay safe ..

Well the rental prices are good ..... but....the real estate prices are on par with Canada 🇨🇦. His persistent on fact is to be admired though

Hey Johnny good luck on your new condo😊

[@mindbodyspiritzen8270]

Can you make a video on the buying process, and banking restrictions. I am thinking of doing the same.

[@morgana9981]

Congrats Johnny

Hmmmmm and i'm the queen of Sheba 🤨

[@paulguise698]

Hiya Johnny, If it was an April fool, good one but if not I hope you have a nice life in Thailand, I've never been to Thailand but I've heard its really nice, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumberland, England

[@Watcher1852]

WAY TO GO, HAPPY FOR U

[@CarRentalGuy]

Great video! You totally had me until the very end. The two trips to Thailand totally made sense for something like this! Although I couldn’t figure out why you wouldn’t just do a one year rental lease instead. Lol

[@amymcdougall-fraser8176]

Awesome wow congrats

[@GalacticGateway.]

Hi Johnny I was wondering what website you went to to get that condo for 80k. Every site i go on it's like 150k for a condo. tyvm in advance

[@JohnnyStrides]

That was part of the joke.

[@gerrylee79]

You got me all worked up their for a min LOL

[@likethepear]

That daily commute is gonna be a pain in the ass. Happy April 1 everybody!

Nice apartment en yes it’s the same problem here in the Netherlands, everything is to expensive and not affordable for most people. Job well done ❤

Happy Easter Monday, and that other day. 😄 Where's WMD?

[@SeGamysa]

Dude you are living my dream. i am so freaking strapped in to canada atm its gonna be another 4 years before i can bail. Right now looking to buy in the Jomtien region. i cant move out now but I am looking to buy a pre construction unit. Anyhow enjoy your stay.

[@lizakaybeachum695]

😂I was fooled and wondered if you told AK about it.

[@sophaman9193]

Me and my wife plans to go back to my birth country Cambodia for my retirement in a few years time but I'm not going to buy I'm going to rent a condo try to get away from the winter cold in Toronto Canada from November to March and April we will be back to Toronto to see my childrens and grandchildrens by the way we live milton Ontario just outside of Toronto take care bye from milton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@silas1820]

What property manager do you use to rent out your condo for when you are not using it? I have been playing with the idea to buy a condo in Pattaya/Jomtien area and then rent it out when I'm not there.

[@IvansBikesBmws]

Cool video!

[@landrodomingo981]

Congratulations for your success Johnny! Nothing but sunshine, beaches and a more affordable cost of living and an easier lifestyle compared to the cost of everything (food, transportation, utilities, groceries, restaurants, Netflix, Prime Video and HBO, WiFi, etc) in Canada. And a healthier choice of food in Thailand. I would have probably chose to pick a place in Koh Samui or close to Koh Phi Phi myself because of the nice beaches there. Stay safe and keep a sharp mind.

[@janetking7712]

Wow i never think Thiland is so clean and this condo is really nice as nice as the ones in Canada....well you know what Canada is becoming very expensive to live so thats great you did this, you have to do what you have to do to get a place to live in...beautiful place good for you i love the rooftop awesome.

[@francescathomas3502]

This has GOT to be an Aprils Fools joke, right? The views from the 30th floor and the roof top are amazing!! How did you get a security card? Either you are visiting or you know someone!! ETA - You have a rent controlled home in Toronto, which you would be NUTS to give up. I know the feeling. My family and I also live in a rent controlled apartment. If we had to pay full market rent, it would be $1500 per month.

[@wendylau]

Nice view!

[@KManEssen]

A very nice video 😀👍

[@XxxXxx-fm3wo]

I bought a tent for the very same reason!

[@foxyturbine7114]

Damn, $80k???? That same place in downtown Toronto would set you back $400-500k! I live in downtown Toronto, and my monthly maintenance fee is $700/mo. It's crazy when you compare with other parts of the world. The Canadian housing market is stupid expensive. 😐 Looking forward to more content from your new life in Thailand!

YIKES!!! I was fooled 😵‍💫

[@Neville60001]

In other words, you're going to be like Action Kid when he left New York for Miami; *_if_* this is all true, then goodbye, and good luck, and have a nice life.

[@christinecamley]

I was briefly fooled but only briefly! This is a good one Johnny! Lol! Happy April Fools Day!! 🙂I remembered you had bought many years ago - I think I have that right?! You were in a relationship? But you got a Johnny rant in! It sounded like the norm! Lol! 🙂It sounds like a good idea though - good rationales for buying in Thailand!

Alright Johnny Strides you almost made me want to relocate from BALTIMORE CITY (USA) to THAILAND. My stomach was doing crunches saying go for go for it. WOW you got me right there. But one day very soon I am going to visit THAILAND maybe the year 2026 being close to retirement for me

[@royanderson3478]

Where did you buy Johnny?

[@Trufflestravels]

Congratulations! That is a great decision! However, i'd spend the second condo money on a parking spots in canada or something like that in downtown toronto/vancouver or a parking lot in a less expensive area and that way you can use the income to live in thailand full time. Thailand rainy season is great if you like heavy rain and quieter pattaya.

[@jimmyjimmy2075]
