SOME OF MY RESPONSES TO EMAILS AND COMMENTS ON THIS & SIMILAR VIDS: Been feeling slightly alarmed (and worryingly responsible) at the amount of responses from folks stating they may just pick up and move across the world based on a 15 min YT video.... Here's an email response I just sent to a guy who said he's considering quitting his job and moving here (despite never even been here before....) ============== -Honestly, you may think you could live on $800 month/$1000 month etc here but at that budget life would be very basic (plus wouldn't include insurance, visa costs, emergencies, etc etc etc). Personally keep to approx $1500 budget and find that 'just' covers having a modestly enjoyable lifestyle here (one's milage may vary of course). Both health insurance and long term visas can be costly especially depending on age. Under 50 health insurance approx $100 month and over 50 insurance gets increasingly expensive, factor $300 month-up. Visas: Elite visa $17K USD for 5 years, 60K USD for 20 years. Retirement visa you must show either 65k THB/$1900 USD monthly income, or 800kTHB/$23,000 USD in a Thai Bank account. Many under 50's do get other visas such as education visa to learn Thai Language or Muay Thai etc but this is a short term solution and they're cracking down on abusers. Thus, BEFORE you say 'take this job and %#$@! it' and jump on a plane to move to Thailand... would recommend at a minimum coming for a visit FIRST. YT'rs like me can make it look all wonderful but of course daily life is much different than a 15 min YT highlight vid. So, please, BEFORE making any commitments (or burning bridges) come have a look first. Then, if you still feel the same and are financially sound, do a longer test (say 6 months) to see if daily life here really meets expectations, suits your lifestyle and your budget. Good luck STL

Is it hard to find a car around that price?

[@anfrae25]

Sorry to bother you. I wanted to know if it is hard to find a car at the price that you purchased yours.

[@bil2ab]

Holy smokes! 3bdr + 3bath penthouse for 300k THB (~$8650 USD) for the whole year! Furnished, including electricity, water & WiFi ... AND cleaning every 2 weeks?!! I'm sold. 🤩

[@bwlynn73]

I think I would've immediately signed a contract on that larger studio....gorgeous condo

[@Originalman144]

$3900 USD per yearly rental! Incredible price. This is one month rent in Los Angeles.

Very few vlogers have the knack of keeping their audience interested and intrigued all the way through. But you sir with your laidback style and meanderings have the perfect scenario.

Never buy property in Thailand because the depreciation. Better off just rent and you always have a choice to move house to house if you don’t like it after living for a while.

[@Reno-vi2tj]

Wrong. Poorly maintained condo's depreciate and houses in the wrong location depreciate, as they do in any country.

[@freeparticle5068]

@@Reno-vi2tj WRONG ! As a foreigner, even if you buy a great condo or house, the day you want to sell it, the local real estate will depréciate it and oobligate you to sell it cheaper than its price !

The studio for £175/month for annual contract sounds sweet. In UK, my local council tax alone cost as much as this.

[@stevenhull5025]

My last month gas bill was more than that

[@andrewoakley4957]

Same here! I just don't actually want to leave the uk permanently, otherwise I would be seriously tempted to sell up and move to Thailand, having a Thai wife makes it an easier proposition too! ❤

[@zGrimFuL]

living in london watching these vids is mind blowing

[@stevenhull5025]

Welcome to rip off Britain. Council tax is nothing more than a revenue stream for local councils. What they do with the money I have no clue. In my area of the UK the potholes are damaging my car, the high street looks like a war zone and our local park is inhabited by drugged up drunken youths. I'm packing my bags, selling up and heading for Asia before I end up in a mental hospital for the insane.

[@ForRiel]

It's fantastic that they offer a rate that includes electricity and water. Those studios are very liveable even for two people - such a nice standard of finish. Thanks for showing this place!

[@SideTripLife]

Thanks guys! Btw, any looking in interested in great value Cambodia accommodation, have a look at For Riel channel :)

[@kevinp8108]

It's very nice when you have the air conditioner on 24/7 during the hot months!

[@fialee8ca132]

What is amazing is the lack of traffic. If you were in California, it would be bumper to bumper on a 2 lane road for miles pretty much everywhere along the coast, regardless of the day.

[@rareavis]

STL - don't know about everyone else, but I would love to see longer videos!

[@dawnmackey4182]

We have a house near Khao Kalok Pranburi. At night in front of Sheraton Hua Hin Pranburi Villa has walking street with tons of street food. The condo you were looking at, originally was suppose to be a part of a huge complex, including shopping and marina for yaht, boats, etc. I don't know what the plan is now but I don't see any construction there.

[@realpropertymangement7640]

Love watching your travels... but in showing me all these spectacular and affordable gems, your making my decision process way too complex. 🤯 I plan to relocate and retire in Thailand and had thought of renting in the Wongamat or Bang Saray areas. Now I want to explore North and South of Hua Hin, as well as the southern Kohs (east & west side). Thanks, mate! Keep these wonderful side trips coming! 👍👍

[@markdumbrell2618]

[@abbeyhaynes525]

That condo complex is just the ‘real deal’! I am planning my next trip here😛

[@grahamfraser5938]

OMG, I loved the Fishermans apartments. I would seriously consider renting an apartment for the full year. The cost of the 3 bedroom penthouse is about the same as what you would pay just for a bedroom in a shared house here in Australia. Why the heck would you struggle here in Australia when everything is there for you for what we would consider to be small change.

[@charlesgray1455]

I agree why suffer, it is convenient but that dollar sure would go alot further

Really nice trip. Loved that condo tour. Too far away from Hua Hin for me, but those amenities were great. After being a professional driver for most of 40 years I’m not driving another 10 ft once I get there. Love the videos STL 👍🥂

[@kevinp8108]

@VegasNegus- Some people just want to get away from busy towns such as Hua Hin. Plus, the cost of living is much lower than in Hua Hin. The expat community has driven up the price in the town! Sorry, I go to Thailand to get away from other foreigners and live amongst the awesome Thai people.

[@City_Valencia]

With sea breeze mossies not too bad on this stretch. Haven't experienced sand fleas here but best avoid high tide-line debris and damp shaded areas at top of beach as they love that.
