I love how you give honest nomad reviews, this could easily have been edited to look like heaven. Lots of good things though.

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@the_om_project Thanks🙏🏽

[@ramonmarcer]

I watch this as a manifestation of where I want to be in some years. Very inspirational, thanks ❤

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@ramonmarcer Awesome🙏🏽

I lived 300 meters from Yanui beach, amazing area of Phuket for sure! And a good snorkeling spot there. However, it is very busy during the high-season, as you showed. I actually enjoyed the rainy season in Phuket, the weather is still nice most of the time, not super crowded, and prices are -50%. Thanks for the video, Joose

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@AlexBaranets I was there in November snd it was raining 90% of the time😅 But I guess it's not always like that...

[@joelwieland1767]

@@JooseTheNomad November this year was very annoying in phuket hahah, same with september. I was here the whole rainy season and may to july were great, not too much rain and nice waves for surfing

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@joelwieland1767 nice🙏🏽

[@TheBoondocker]

Another great video Joose! How was the vegan restaurant scene? Any plans to make a Singapore video in the future?

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@TheBoondocker Thanks! Rawai is best for vegan food. Not as good as in Bali but it's decent! I'll probably next year haha

[@wanderlostfilms]

I love your videos man! They inspire me!

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@wanderlostfilms Thanks so much🙏🏽

[@wanderlostfilms]

@ Anytime man, let’s meet up in Bali sometime. Will be back next month. ✌️

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@ALLOFTHEWORLDISYOURS Thanks so much! Awesome, hope you'll like it🙏🏽

[@tallchicago1]

Great video content. Wondering if you use the insta360 waterproof case or you go just w camera?? Thanks and keep up the tasty videos

[@yhonatankapon8195]

I love your videos ! what do you think about bangkok ?

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@yhonatankapon8195 Bangkok is cool but I'm not a fan of mega cities. I need a beach hahaha, but will go there again for a month in the end of this year

[@travelingfrogman]

It's possible if you live outside the beach areas, such as Chalong, or other inner regions of Phuket, even this is difficult. Phuket has recently been upgraded to a premier destination, which makes the cost of living that much more expensive.

[@pobashennaidoo3051]

Joose love the quality of the camera, what you using at the moment?

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@pobashennaidoo3051 iPhone 16 pro :)

[@MaxWell-ck4sg]

I'm so shocked to see the reality of everything😱 So many positived and some negatives but I think it's still worth it!

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@MaxWell-ck4sg Yeah it's so amazing, but...

[@mikecaymantrades]

Being it's so crowded phi phi. Is there a best month when there are less people?

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@mikecaymantrades I guess any low season month but probably always busy there

[@10ocmer10]

My cost of living in Phuket range from 2,5k - 6k Euro a month. I live with my GF who doesn't work and a big dog who eats beef. Rent 35k apartment with lakeview, calm area. We almost never eat out as we focus on high quality food. Also depending what activities we do each month, travel inside Thailand etc. I think you can still live in places in Phuket around 1-2k a month Euro's. But living a bit more flexible and joyful it can add up a bit. I can break it down more if people are interested

[@gopaldangar1050]

6k euros ? Does it include travelling and flights and all?

[@lennasssss]

Hey Joose, thank you for the very informative video. Can you please tell me what time of the year was this video recorded? It looks like it's not as crowded as I've seen in other videos and I like that. 😊

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@lennasssss It was filmed duting the past few weeks. No way it's more crowded another time, just new years eve

[@lennasssss]

@@JooseTheNomad thanks a lot for the info!

[@christiandengler6689]

I remember paying 10k for a 2 bedroom house in Nai-Harn in 2010...jesus those prices are mad! However, it seems like you do pay high season prices and if you go there low season and sign a year contract, you will pay A LOT less!

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@christiandengler6689 Yeah of course, I'd not wanna stay the rainy season there tho or a full year

[@neo_saaid]

Thanks

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@neo_saaid 🙏🏽

[@Jordan-gz8yi]

Have you thought about trying some of the cheaper islands like Koh Chang and Koh Lanta? Much more laid back than Phuket. Much less tourists also

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@Jordan-gz8yi Yeah thinking of trying Koh Chang next winter

[@nappingnomads]

It would be really great if you could include the 24 hour type options as many of us work on Canada /USA time zones and in many Asian places we are up at 10 pm and in bed at noon the following day. Often Im stuck at 24 hours Mcdonalds working...

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@nappingnomads Aren't most coworking spaces 24/7 open?😳

[@nappingnomads]

@@JooseTheNomad Totally, many are. But digital nomads only really work 4 of the 10 hours we show our bosses :) I still need to find good food at 2-4 am , Starbucks is nice, GYM 24 hours is great, Paddle perhaps, a beach with lights lol.

[@larsstougaard7097]

You said it wasn't your favorite place , where is the perfect place for you in januar regarding quality for money and not too crowded??

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@larsstougaard7097 January I'd go to Koh Phangan as Da Nang is quite cold still

My view no to many people…

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@justcruisinmommom2964 Why you think so?

[@EinfachBitcoin-crypto]

How about cleanlyness

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@EinfachBitcoin-crypto of what?

[@nineseven420empire3]

The Thai people understand food safety and other types of "cleanlyness". Unlike some other parts of SE Asia.
