I had a $13 pad Thai here in Athens that wasn’t better than most $2 pad Thais in Thailand. If you’re still in Bangkok, I highly suggest you go to pad Thai Narok tek. The owner Alex is a pad Thai master and in my opinion makes the best pad Thai I have ever had. $3-4. It would make a great video showcasing his cooking abilities. He has a hole in the wall sit down seating for about 20 people and he cooks out on the sidewalk. All he makes is pad Thai. His restaurant is on Lat ya rd. I usually take a motorcycle grab. He is only open from around 4 pm until he sells out.

Many retirees, globetrotters, digital nomads, and KZbinrs often highlight the affordability of living in South America or Southeast Asia. While I agree with this sentiment, there's a significant aspect rarely discussed: the actual costs involved in traveling to these destinations. Flight tickets can be quite expensive. Drawing on my 25 years of experience organizing travel in Asia, I can attest to this firsthand. Based on your videos from the past year, you could have visited 17 different countries and revisited some countries up to 7 times within the last year. Could you provide an overview of what portion of your annual budget is allocated to flight tickets? I recall from your previous videos that you aim to manage within a $24,000 annual budget ($2,000 per month). Does this budget include your flight expenses, or are these costs kept separate? I look forward to your insights on this topic in one of your upcoming videos. Happy Travels! 🙏🙏

@@RetireandGo That seems to be a good middle-ground for most vloggers in SEA. Some of the guys on 1k in the phils live in a way I personally think of as camping. Some of the 3k+ folks are staying in 4 star hotels and only eat western food. 2k seems like a good life.

Great Info as always. Crazy now I have read that the average car payment in the states is $860 a month not including Insc. My last car payment was in 2004. I just started buy used cars 5 years old and paying cash, helped me save a good amount over the last 20 years. Safe Travels

@@kevinstrong7520 I understand where you're coming from. I also appreciate his content/philosophy, but have no intention of testing how little I can spend. I think he's just showing what's possible, not that everyone should do it his way. Spending more is way easier than spending less.

@@RetireandGoNothing wrong with that, it’s liberating traveling out of a small backpack 🎒. Nothing wrong with hand scrubbing your clothes every now and then too, good for the soul 😄. Dude it’s cool seeing how you and also your channel have grown in just the short time I’ve watched your channel. I’m back in usa saving up to get back out to Se Asia and love watching your vids. It’s also cool for me because your hitting up all the countries I want to visit, your strategies are awesome muh friend. Stay safe brutha 😄

Kevin, your “Bro” comment…. you don’t know him well enough to criticize his content. Nowadays, on social media, everyone can hide behind their keyboard. I think you should reconsider your comment!! You did not say how excellent all the information was in this video. You only criticize his washing….
