[@4latte]

I LOVE you guys! I have been living in Bangkok for 3 years. Forget the Netflix dive this weekend. I am catching up on all your videos. Also will share with others.

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

Thanks so much! We like to have fun 🤗🫰💞

[@christinamargulski9680]

Subscribed! You two are awesome making this wonderful content for us. Great video! Last night I saw the video about you two leaving HH and go to BKK. 🙏

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

Thanks so much Christina 🥳❣️😀

[@mangostickyrice555]

Thumbs up 👍 Tracy & Ray…..looks like you folks are enjoying the BKK lifestyle 😎

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

We sure are 🥭🍚☺️

[@juliepearce2222]

Hi Tracy and Ray Love your channel Might see you in Bangkok next year

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

Sounds great! Thank You so much!!✨🌟✨🫶🏼🩶

[@Radiancegrace]

I was wondering when you two would arise again. Glad your precious pup is ok. Loved your video on grocery shopping. Quality of food obviously over and above. I eat plant based and don’t drink alcohol or smoke any ingestive substances and your videos are my guiding star to Thailand. Can’t express enough how much your presence is enlightening me to Bangkok. I pay in mortage for a 3000 sq ft home, alone, what you pay in monthly expenses -thanks So much for the breakdown. God bless til I see you again🙏🏻

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

Fiona is on her way to being 100% again. Thank You so much! Yes, Bangkok is most definitely more reasonable that many places in the world. So happy we're here 💜🙏🏽

[@Radiancegrace]

@@ThirdThaisaCharm many well wishers I feel sure watching you all and cheering your thriving spirits on. Fiona is a doll baby and glad she is there and getting her needs met. Stay well🙏🏻

[@CynthiaMaier-uh2ru]

You two feel like kindred spirits ;-) Love your videos and your fantastic lifestyle. I agree totally with your stance on the "medical system" ... Big P$arma = Big $$$. Avoid at All Cost ! The human body is miraculous and knows what to do for best results. I'll be 66 in a few weeks ... vegetarian, fitness fanatic and feel like a million bucks ! Keep on ... Keepin' On !! ❤

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

YES!!!! We are SUCH kindred spirits indeed! 🌟✨🤩 Thank You SO much for watching and being here!! Love This!! xx

[@intellectualgladiata]

If you run a reverse osmosis filter that strip's out all the minerals you can actually get a canister that re-mineralises the water. When we're back in Thailand next week I'm going to see if they are available there.

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

Interesting! Let us know what you find out 😀🙋‍♀️

[@cidron3843]

I was surprised you two don’t really go out to eat. Enjoying the endless possibilities of food choices is part of the experience living here in Thailand. Bkk has excellent vegan/vegetarian hidden gems too.

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

We have hit up a couple of Vegan places, but just really we aren’t “foodies” per say. We have time..we will enjoy some of those amazing places in time for sure 🥗🥑🥙🍲🌯🤩

[@TheWelshman50]

You have a handsome man there,so glad you are enjoying life's journey together ps lots of love to your beautiful furry friend 🧡

Tracy… the haircut looks good on you! Love the short cut actually 😍

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

Thank You so much! ☺️

[@keninchicago]

Both of your haircuts look great; they did an amazing job.

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

Thank You so much Ken! Jimmy is great at what he does for sure!! 🌟🫶💜

[@sandrarowan3877]

Hi Tracy and Ray, so sorry to hear about Fiona, give he a kiss from me, love your update, I am getting set to be moving to Thailand next month, just sorting out the sale on my flat, I have acupuncture every week for the inflammation, I love it, I want to get into fitness when I move to Thailand, you both are a breath of fresh air xx

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

This is SO exciting for you Sandra!! You almost here now 😀 Thanks so much for the nice compliment 🥰

Get your health insurance as soon as possible, please! It doesn't matter how healthy you are; what matters is what happens if you, God forbid, are in a serious accident. If you don't have insurance, private hospitals won't accept you and will refer you to a government hospital, which means that receiving care will, at best, be delayed. However, people have died while waiting in ambulances. Carry your insurance card and a letter telling the hospital who to contact for a cash deposit with you at all times, as advised by another Thailand KZbinr. Love your vids, wish you all the best!

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

We absolutely are~~Thank You for this comment. We know it's important..just deciding on who to go with now at this point 🥰🫶🌟

[@KR-oo5xn]

@@ThirdThaisaCharm 👍Hope for a video about your experience with Thai health insurance

[@user-bs4vb8vh6m]

Nice content 🤗😊👍❤️🎉🎊

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

Thank you! We appreciate you being here! 🙏🏽🦋💜

[@chrisgallon7384]

Your description of your Mother and the doctor sounds just like someone I know. She doesn't exercise and is constantly going to the doctor. I take Silica to get rid of aluminium from my body. It is very good for your hair and nails also. I have to cut my nails twice a week they grow so quick and I cut my hair every week. You are both looking great 👍

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

Oh yes..Silica! I do remember that Chris..good one as well! Thank You for the compliment...we're always working on that as you know 😉🥰

[@chrisgallon7384]

@@ThirdThaisaCharm I look forward to your next video 😊

[@baketeach]

You can get a nice 2 BR apartment for 12-15000 Baht in Bangkok... with all the Amenities (1-2 pools, sauna, gym, security, AC)

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

Good to know! Some of my subscribers on tight budgets might be curious about those places. If it’s a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom , dog friendly, with all amenities in a great neighborhood..what a Deal!!

[@vanhalen45]

So, about how much would a family of 4 cost to live in Bangkok (modestly but not impoverished)? I have seen estimates of around USD $3000 / month. Does this sound about right? Please,let me know. Not a lavish lifestyle.

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

That's a little bit hard to answer as of course there are so many variables..all I can say is what is costs for the two of us with our lifestyle and living arrangements. You will most likely have to do your research to get your total that it would cost you and your family here in Bangkok ☺️🌸🦋

[@dianeortiz2108]

Give Fiona love ❤ poor girl ! Your hair looks great Tracy ! Love you girl ! Miss u

[@dianeortiz2108]

My water bill was $135 and electric bill was $269 in California ❤

[@daviddisbrow5552]

hi and greetings from San Francisco... i live here but am planning to move to Bangkok after Labor Day.. I have a question ....please help if you can. I have two cats who are family and I need to know if you don't mind who you contacted to find a pet friendly place in Bangkok. Is there a way you could put me in touch with someone? I kind of desire to live in the Phrom Phong area so maybe you all kind people could send me some contact information on pet friendly places or such. And it's great to hear from you.. as I prepare my move to Bangkok and then after six months to Hua Hin. p.s. I have a beautiful Thai lady in my life in Bangkok.. so excited! i'm hoping I hear back from you...

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

Hi David~~ Wish you the Best of luck on your move here to Bangkok! Most every condo we have looked at or seen accepts cats. It's dogs that are tricky, so you should have No problem at all getting a place with your cats! 😻 If you have a Thai lady living here already then I honestly would suggest you have her do the footwork for you as since she is Thai, she will be able to speak with everyone and get you a place. So much more than we could do...🤗💜🙏🏽 Good Luck!!

[@lillianrosbottom7366]

Would be very tempted to eat out if I lived there. Be cheaper than eating in. I would think

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

Many people do just that Lillian! It's definitely very doable!!

[@socaltennis1]

If u guys want to save more , get BTS and MRT senior citizens cards ... they give u a big discount ... take your passport and show them your age ... 60 yrs old is senior

[@bradleylocke4336]

Nice video guys,time in the gym is a great insurance policy and great for your mental health.

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

Oh wow! We have the MRT Senior Card, but we didn't know the BTS offered one as well. Will definitely check into that now as well!! Thank You so much for letting us know 🙏🏽☺️

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

SOOO True Bradley! 🌟🫶✨❣️

[@bradleylocke4336]

@@ThirdThaisaCharm Your budget seems very reasonable.Bargain really for your lifestyle and being in a big city,would be twice that in Australia.Two men running ha ha love it 😊

[@keninchicago]

I know the BTS stopped giving senior discounts before COVID; I am not sure about MRT.

[@Silom355]

Omg... That’s cheap. Best value ❤in life. Enjoy lifetime. ❤❤

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

WE are SO Happy here! Loving it ALL ❤️💜❤️

[@keninchicago]

I don't want to stir things up, but I am interested in what you think about the changes in Thai tax policy. Much is unclear, but what are you thinking right now.

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

Actually we aren't going to worry about that until it becomes a reality..because here in Thailand things change like the wind blows. I think they would be losing a lot of potential expats if they did implement it though.

[@keninchicago]

@@ThirdThaisaCharm thanks. I agree.

[@7rucus11]

I guess for perspective, a Thai college graduates with a 4 year degree minimum wage is 15,000 Thai baht per month. So your life style seems rather lavish in perspective. Your rent alone is double that............. just sayin'

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

🙏🏼

[@sharonbarrerogarcia]

Why and How can you compare a local to an expat. That makes no sense

[@ThirdThaisaCharm]

Yes..our thoughts exactly Sharon 😉

[@mythai05]

​@@sharonbarrerogarciaOn the other hand, they compared their rent to that of Northern California. Of course they'll pay less here. What they are spending per month is well beyond the means of the average Thai, so it is fair to point that out. Their budget is extravagant by my standards... and I'm a farang! Of course we have different tastes, needs, and comfort levels, so it would be meaningless to compare their budget to mine.

[@sharonbarrerogarcia]

@@mythai05 In every country in the world people live different types of lifestyle doesn't matter where you live. Yes some expats can live even more abundantlty and others cant depending on many factors. I believe all they are doing is simply showing their own lifestyle in Thailand compared to what that same lifestyle would cost in their own country to show people not in Thailand what is possible. Good on them for being able to live how they desire too and having a lifestyle that makes them happy 🙏💜
