More Reasons Hua Hin Thailand is Forbes Top Pick for Retirees Over 60

[@StayPositiveToday]

Just love your content. Would probably love to live in Hua Hin. One topic that I found missing in almost all KZbinrs in Thailand is what i call "the in between". Before moving in, do the big change in your life, you need "to try" for a 3-4 month. No one talk about this part : either for tourism or expat. How easy is it to rent a place for a few month, how to acclimate yourself to that new reality, how easy or difficult it is, reality of "offshore" work, etc. I am 51, from Canada, and would love to try few months a year before doing the big jump if it's for me. I do believe that i am not the only one who would like one or two video on this topics. Many Tks Jonny

[@IWarwickI]

If you have been a few times then there’s nothing that should stop you once you decide. You are in your head about the small details that will be half the fun of moving to Thailand

[@Jack-2day]

A couple Jonny interviewed in Pt 1 spoke directly in this regards Cheers

[@mcb00m]

Plenty of Airbnbs you can rent for a few months

[@lostboi3974]

I'm going there for 3 months to see if I want to move there. Chang mai and Hua Hin

[@mcb00m]

​@@lostboi3974make sure you go to Chiang Mai during burning season to see if you can handle it or have a plan to leave for 3-4 months of the year when it happens

[@marijusofficial]

Best blogger and vlogger in Thailand and always saying things in real way in how they are.Hua Hin is the only place in Thailand where there is immigration in shopping mall,so convenient.

[@jonnyasia]

Thank you buddy, yeah the immigration At bluport is very convenient and very quick

[@LibertyLover5103]

Jonny your consistently one of the top KZbinr's in Thailand. You always deliver on the things that matter most. No hype just straight forward truth.

[@jonnyasia]

Thank you i appreciate the comment ..

[@NA_GA09]

A great comprehensive review of Hua Hin. One of Jonny’s best youtube videos of 2023.

[@inlovewiththailand]

Wow Jonny, this was a great video and the tourism industry of Hua Hin should definitely hire you to be their spokesperson. Very professional. Keep it up.

[@gramheald1]

love your stuff..

[@inlovewiththailand]

@@gramheald1I'm assuming you were talking about Jonny's stuff, right? lol

[@larryglover1607]

Nice summary of Hua Hin, Johnny! I spent 6 months there in 2022 and met you in one of the pubs on Soi 80 one Saturday afternoon. Happy to see your continued success! I hope to see you again in Hua Hin in 2024.

[@paulbaxter9299]

Jonny, very professional and your presentation is excellent. Much appreciated, stay safe Paul

[@bigdaddyl-rob7445]

GREAT video, Jonny!! Hua Hin is lucky to have you as one of their residents as you are doing great things for tourism in Hua Hin!

[@jonnyasia]

Oh very nice comment many thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@SwitchGamer21]

I still can’t believe Hua Hin is top Forbes list of place of retirees over 60 amazing and yeah that airport terminal is pretty small not that big at all part 1 good part 2 even better more stuff to tell pretty good video Jonny I seen some Hua Hin bars already on Nina’s channel they are awesome I love it especially the girls there plus that hotels you showing us outstanding I enjoyed that great part 2 from part 1 this was something 👍🏽💯🔥

[@nongen1234]

We already live in Hua Hin, love it

[@tonyf7997]

Jonny maaaate! You’re getting us all keyed up for our first Thailand visit - cannot wait and hopefully the wife will love as well !!

[@jonnyasia]

Ohh excellent to hear Tony, bet you both cant wait :-)

[@anthonylee2482]

What a great blog mate have fun enjoy rock and roll. Keep the good times coming

[@lee-annhellner9622]

Hello Jonny could you please create one or more videos on health and medical services, including dentistry, and advice on how medical insurance would work in Thailand for a retiree. This is crucial information for planning retirement in another country.

[@randyirvine5858]

Excellent work Jonny. I'm sure you've just persuaded a few more to HH. Reckon Bazza was keen to blow the froth off a couple of cold ones with you. Cheers👍

[@jonnyasia]

Absolutely i reckon also lol

[@stephenhigginson4078]

I saw both yourself and Som whilst you were making this video on Monday night I did not want to interrupt you both. Anyway keep up the good work. Good informative videos.

[@jonnyasia]

That’s OK you should’ve came over and said hello would’ve been no problem. Thanksfor watching say hello next time 👍😊

[@billyjohnson9166]

Thanks Jonny. Hua Hin is great. I live in the Philippines but love visiting Thailand a few times a year

[@martywrigh1024]

Loving ur channel mate...U make Hua Hin better.

[@PK-nm8wu]

Thanks Jonny. The clock is ticking and once again my mouth is watering!

[@LawrenceNewman01]

How bout the other side, give us the challenges, the potential issues, and things people might find difficult to deal with. There’s always another side and seeing it in advance brings a more balanced perspective. It would make for an interesting video or two. Might want a comparison video to those other places Forbes mentioned. Thanks for the content.

[@jonnyasia]

Many thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it

[@ridemfast7625]

Go there for a year to see. If you would enjoy living with the less successful types that like to drink and complain about the Thai while sweating and getting stung by mosquitoes than Hua Hin is for you.

[@Wouter_asia]

You always surprise me Johnny. Respect man! 🙌🏽

I’m full of surprises many thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it

I see your channel is growing, Jonny. You deserve it. Your videos are always great. Keep it up! I'm an expat in Chiang Mai, but I'm considering the south for once (I've always either lived in the north or isaan). Time to move down south!!!

[@jonnyasia]

Thank you Jonathan i appreciate that, i hope to see you down Hua Hin sometime:-)

[@sugarcane9425]

Best for people who read Forbes ..it still expensive for many of us as a local . But I have to agree that it s more peaceful than Pattaya or Phuket

[@Hybridflip-eg5hg]

Very good very good, Johnny! That guy who owns the Villa, looks like a younger version of “Magic Man!”

[@rickylee6129]

Great Video Jonny 😊. Keep the video's and excellent content comin. Stay Safe 💕 💞 🙏 🙏

[@Jj_1024]

I live in Vancouver now, but life here is becoming very expensive. Hua Hin looks like the first place I will be scoping out to see where I might be retiring soon. Thanks for your videos Jonny!

Waiting to see consulting commercial tag line "Most thrifty and valuable short time in Thailand" Humor aside, great video and enjoying this series related to the Forbes article!

[@thomasrush9885]

Thanks again Johnny. I've been looking around and good to hear what Barry said. I keep going back and forth from samui to Hua hin but Hua hin just seems little better and easier.

[@jonnyasia]

No problem Thomas glad you enjoyed it

[@simong7539]

Yep, you just outclassed Forbes. Nice one.

[@georgeparis6729]

Great vlog Jonny, the Chang food market is a great night out, variety and good music, can recommend the tacos where you were talking with bazza, hopefully flights to bkk and other Isaan regions in the future as Chiang Mai was the only place directly to Hua HIN

Great show Jonny! Hope to b there soon again. This time I'll look u up! As alway's stay cool,kind and generous!

[@mickthompson2575]

Good video. Standing there on the deck of Vana Nava Sky, you should have turned the camera down to the Hua Na Market. It's way cheaper and more chill than the tourist markets you mentioned. The Hua Na / Ban Mai area of Hua Hin is really one of the nicest, IMO. Cheers!

[@brinka19]

Great content Jonny, well done mate 👍

Chipping in on the wifi, I used ATG just on my phone throughout my last 2 months there and tethered to my laptop and had bad a$$ speeds that exceeded my speeds here in the USA for very very cheap. Thanks Jonny! I am back in Thailand Jan/Feb I hope to take some time to visit to check out Hua Hin. Perhaps rent a place for the wife to rent and me to visit to see if that is where we want to permanently move to.

[@mariettathornton5924]

Too bad we won’t be making our permanent move to Thailand until spring of 2025:( This is an awesome video and the place isn’t bad at all! Thanks for posting this video Jonny 😊

[@christiancork3912]

I am looking at Thailand for retirement. Waiting on the wash up of the new Thai taxation laws. If they are going to tax superannuation/pension then this may not work for some as we have already been heavily taxed in Australia

[@jonnyasia]

I honestly can’t see them taxing pensions & superannuations to be honest so I think you have nothing to worry about 👍😊

[@jeancruz211]

Another excellent video Jonny.

[@robertjosan]

Cheers Jonny, Maybe you can ask or interview Barry why after 6 months in Koh Samui and 3 months in Phucket, what didn't he like about it them and what made Hua Hin the ultimate choice over them? thank you Mate

Hi Jonny, I am a fellow Aussie, just arrived 2 weeks ago to Jomtien. Love it, It is amazing. Planning on checking out Hua Hin with a view to longer-term living. I would love to be near the beach so any recommendations for accommodation options would be greatly appreciated here. I'm still pinching myself, can't believe I'm actually here!

[@dominiquelaurain6427]

Very good, very good Jonny and very informative ;-). If I go to Thailand for my two months trips in future years (my retirement time) would be more interested for renting a quiet service appartment (service = cleaning and/or cooking) near a transportation point (bus or train station)....so if you have informations about that kind of rentals, let me know. My alternative is an hotel in Prachuap Khiri Kan muang.

Thanks for the info on the True Arena

[@tallchicago1]

Great content from a bright guy. Could you address the weather a bit perhaps? In the rainy season what do you do...where do you go nearby if you want to avoid rainy season? Next, an interesting combo is Hua Hin primarily and ideally spend July thru October in Italy perhaps. The Thai side is so inexpensive frees up $$$ for some fun Euro travel. Airbnb in Italy can be fairly reasonable a few miles from hub tourist centers. Perhaps a part 3 addressing more issues is in order as everyone loves your first two videos!!! Cheers...

[@mcb00m]

Hua Hin is one of the driest areas of Thailand with about 300 days of sunshine a year 🌞 rainy season no worries 😉👌🏽

[@tallchicago1]

Thank you for the info

[@ScepticFrog]

Was that an airasia test flight? According to their website I can't find any destination flights from Hua Hin. Would be great to have more flights there. Also the Hua Hin airport website doesn't show any flights. Is it a new airport?

There is only 3 flights per week and that is with airasia fom Hua Hin to Chiang Mai

[@mollyhatchettt9927]

[@robertbritz257]

Jonny, I did some research on bank locations, markets, mall, and hospitals in Hua Hin. It seems like they are either around Hua 25 or Hua 85. In your personal opinion, would you recommend a rental house/condo around those two streets or pick a house/condo in the middle around Hua 70? Trying to see if I would transportation or simply walk?

[@Jack-2day]

Personally out of town a bit for the peace & quiet. Depends on one’s own preferences

[@jonnyasia]

Hi Robert I live in a house of off soi 70 and I think it’s a excellent location and mot so far from town.

[@clrodrick]

Hua Hin is a nice quiet beach city I liked the vibe when I visited. Definitely on my list of potential retirement spots. One question I have is why they never resurrected the Hua Hin -> Pattaya ferry after Covid closed it down? Seems like a convenient way to travel back and forth rather than take taxi or drive, yet as far as I'm aware it is still closed. Is there a speedboat or any other method of sea travel?

[@hobo1704]

It's a shame, I wanted to use it a few days ago from Pattaya to Hua Hin. Still nothing operating. Obviously never recovered post covid.

[@clrodrick]

Me too! It's weird how it never came back. Maybe the operator was having trouble turning a consistent profit? Seems like a venture the Thai government would want to support though to decrease traffic on the highways especially around Bangkok​@@hobo1704
