Very glad I found your channel. Very informative. Great to get this perspective from a fellow Aussie and not the usual bar/girls/party Thai vids. Am planning on visiting with the intent of moving to Thailand next year sometime. Safe travels and thank you.

Great choice of condo, awesome location. Perfect if you’re like me and don’t want to drive a motorbike. Baht bus and Bolt will do me fine 👍

Congrats, if I have to retire in Thailand in my early 50's now, I need to have at least $3K or B100K of monthly pension plus $100K of extra savings for emergency. That won't happen until late 2025 or early 2026 to be living in Thailand for good.

sounds about right but always different ways of saving

Never taken one of the buses. How long do they normally take to get there?

@lostdigger Ай бұрын

I've taken both taxi and bus, roughly the same time, taxi will take you directly to accommodation but will cost 1200-1600 baht the ride in the bus is no more than 110 minutes and very comfy. see my channel, I recently did a video catching bus from Airport to Pattaya and return

@Mortum_Rex Ай бұрын

@@lostdigger Yeah I paid 1500 back in December I think. I remember when it was 800 for a taxi.... and 33 Baht to the Aussie... oh the old days 😥

Hey mate, what was the place called you said to bypass the estate agents and rent the condo directly? Ouldnt quite get what you said.

@lostdigger Ай бұрын

as well as visiting the realestate agents I went straight into the condominium "juristic Office" most rent condos direct, so half the time your cutting out the restate agent get a better price. When you see a Condo go inside and speck with office....

How did you open a bank account??? so hard

@lostdigger Ай бұрын

Bangkok bank branch, have more than 30 days left on visa, get all the correct documentation. I suggest using a agent so easy. will take 40-50 minutes if use agent.
