Hm, hey there Paul. I don't mean to complain, I mean, anything u 2 guys do is interesting. However since we all already know your origins history it would have been interesting had u went into exploring a topic or subject like dating for example. How it's been for you and what resources and ways u've been utilizing since u've been there and your experiences of them/that. Perhaps for a future vod? ;p And well done again and love to see what is going on and happening over there as usual, 1000 %!!! :D

Hey Paul, found your channel thru Forrest. Nice to hear about your journey, you appear very level-headed and wise! I wish I had travelled to Thailand in my 20s. I'm a Korean Australian born in Sydney and moved over to Thailand in 2014 with my Thai wife. So I got to live like a local there. Unfortunately things didnt work out and I moved back to Sydney right before covid struck. Always miss Thailand but have travelled there 4x since Covid (incl. signing divorce papers 😢) and a 5th trip is lined up for the end of Jan into Feb. Thailand will always be my 2nd home! Look forward to your adventures bro, will be following with much interest! 🤙

We’re not all degenerates here in Pattaya. The nightlife here can be a pitfall. But this pertains to all party spots around the world. You need to have your shit together to live in Pattaya, Bangkok, Las Vegas, NYC, Amsterdam, Barcelona etcetra. I live in Wongamat Beach area of Pattaya. About 10 minute Bolt ride to Soi 6 and all of that. It’s quiet here. But I’m 53. Don’t really drink much anymore. I go “into town” maybe once a month , have 2 or 3 beers and then go home. In my 20s this town would’ve killed me. Thing I miss the least about the US? The politics. People argue about GOP vs Dems. Like either party cares about them and will make their lives better. They both suck. Things I miss about the US? Family . Friends. Not sure if I’m gonna just live here in Thailand. But it was a nice jumping off point introduction to Asia. Thais are pretty nice people. Pretty laid back. Some things I don’t like about it here but no place is perfect. And the pros of living here vs the cons of living here are numerous. Running to Malaysia next month for the first time Very excited to see Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu. If you’re young and living in the US and can work remote , I’d seriously think about moving out of the US. Relocate here or someplace like here. If you can make $50k a year you can live like a king here. Whereas in the US in SF or La or NYC or even Chicago you can make $100k a year and still struggle. The quality of life here is equal to or better than what you get in the US and at a third of the cost. No value in the US I’m afraid. So check it out. Come to Thailand.

Great point about watching the news. I new it was bad for me but I didn’t realize how bad until I lived in Thailand for two years and came back to America. There’s nothing about the news I missed except for its ability to suck the soul out of you. As a conservative social worker my life has been extremely stressful dealing with the progressiveness of the field and the ridiculousness of having to memorize everyone’s pronouns. I almost got fired because I kept making the mistake of calling a trans woman “sir” who made no attempt at all to even appear feminine. I can’t wait to leave this insane asylum.

Great point about finding a wife. It's not just being Asian. There's a narrow band of men who are what American women want. If you're not in that narrow band, dating in America is awful. In my case, as with many expats here, my problem was age. I'm 6 feet tall, fit, moderately wealthy, and have some level of status. But I'm older. I was maybe getting one first date a month, 2 or 3 second dates a year. Tried Japan first. It wasn't terrible. For visa reasons I decided to try a few other countries. Got to BKK and started dating. Was doing coffee or ice cream for first dates, getting as many as 3 first dates a day. Found her within a month, January of this year. Exactly what Forrest described. Traditional, family oriented. She's perfect. Proposed after about 6 months and we are legally married now. We will hopefully have children soon. Could spend the rest of my life in Thailand. I'm not as committed to Bangkok. I'd like to move south to get out of the winter air pollution cloud. Maybe Hua Hin but probably a bit farther south.

An American with a work-from-home job should consider relocating overseas. As per current IRS rules, there are no income taxes on the first $120,000 of wages, even if the wages are deposited in an American bank. The only thing that matters is doing the work from offshore. About buckets of Sangsom: just don't. That stuff is poison.

After i left i never really “left”. My mind remained in Thailand ever since. I went back and stayed in Bangkok for 2 months, 2022. Same feeling, but i still prefer Chiang Mai.

I believe what Forrest is trying to say is that you need $10 mil to date the same quality of woman in the US as you could in Thailand. The exact number might be exaggerated, but I totally get what he's saying. Supply and demand is very much so applicable to dating (esp in the post-dating app world) and the demand for desirable women in the US far outstrips the supply. Therefore, the "cost" is much higher in the US.

I would say the dating scene for me in America is I don’t even know where to search for my ideal guy. So I might as well go where I would be around guys I would be interested in while living in an aesthetically appealing area with a lot of activities I would enjoy. I wish I had that where I stayed, but I have seen other things that made me happy despite unfortunate stuff that happened. So finally going to meet someone and actually socializing irl would make me so happy now

Thailand will always be my home and my favourite place on earth but after travelling to over a dozen countries, I believe that you can be happy almost anywhere, if you know how to find it and who to be to find it. People is everything to me.

Agreed, and one thing I noticed in some of Forrest's videos is that he basically refers to the entire United States as if it is all like the SF Bay Area where he is from, which means basically every problem is exaggerated if you don't have an enormous amount of money

I'm moving to Thailand in the next 2 years. I have a 4 year old daughter and wife in Surin. People ask me why don't you move your family to America (where I am from). I literally laugh so hard I almost pass out. I call it the 3rd and final chapter and I'll spend it on the greatest place on earth. I'm 54 and haven't watched the news in 30+ years and everyone I have ever talked too said I haven't missed a thing. Great interview by the way.
