Rent $120 Month Move Here? Hua Hin Beach Condos Tour 2023 Hua Hin Thailand

[@SideTripLife]

*IMPORTANT!!!!! 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

[@Curtis-xk4dd]

Love your realistic honesty

[@johnnylima9632]

Brilliant advice and spot-on. Life isn’t all that it seems to be on a screen. Have been to Thailand before and it was great, not perfect but very good, considering this or Philippines as a possible destination.But it’s all part of a 5-year plan. Currently on year 2 of that plan. Keep up the great content pal and keep on enjoying that good life✌️

[@natetran9987]

come to cali, you can live simply on budget 5 to 6k usd per month, j/k, :) we all fantasize about escapism, don't we?

[@Ima1stHuemanHi]

I will leave America one day lol

[@LiveMyAssOff]

i SOOOOO agree. I traveled back and forth to Thailand from San Diego (I actually had a "real job" at one time, 5555) for ~7 years. The last few "vacations" were each over a month. Additionally, I tried out Singapore, Malayasia, Philippines, Vietnam. That said, I also tell people, as long as you have a solution for getting "back home" (e.g. ~$2000 USD for plane ticket) and a way to live back there (obvisouly don't burn any bridges in life is a wise policy) It can be a great way to truly experience another culture... i.e. being forced to a.k.a. Immersion. Everyone has their process but personally, I like to become as much of an 'expert' in topics so that i feel comforable making a choice... ALWAYS love your vids and perspective my Canadian friend! Live the Dream. ciao.

[@ZENbulldozer]

I ate in that restaurant and somehow lost my cash. I said to the owner hold my phone while I go to the ATM. He was incredulous and said no, keep your phone and just come back. Legend. Yes I tipped him.

[@SideTripLife]

Thanks for sharing LK Bart1! Similar deal for me, was in Market Village in Hua Hin and bought some shorts. I only had a 1000 note and she had no change so she said 'Nevermind, you take and pay me next time'. So I did take the shorts (then got change and paid her;) STL

[@shaggytech1562]

Once the high speed train is up and running reducing the travel time to and from Bangkok, I can see the prices rising. Hua Hin would probably be my pick of places to retire. Has not got the burning season like Chiang Mai. Has some night life but isnt as full on as Pattaya. Doesnt have the Smog problem of Bangkok. Cheaper than Phucket.

[@chewingum1214]

Are there shops in hua hin nearby the houses?

[@davidmorgan6246]

You nailed it. But would it get a little boring there after awhile?

​@@davidmorgan6246Thailand so cheap you can just pick up and go to another city..

We have been in Hua Hin many times and it is not over-crowded, they have everything. Certainly not the worst place to be for a long stay and way better than Bangkok.

[@janettedavis6627]

Is this in Thailand? I would like to go there for a few months a place with a pool I want.

[@gunalanlatchaiah1047]

thank you for doing a great favour for us by showing all the condos and prices, its actually save a lot of our time

[@sallysuttie]

I like the last condo you looked at. Love how it has a separate kitchen area. Nice location too. We are travelling to Hua Hin and beyond (south) in Aug for the first time. Looking for areas to rent when we retire in about 5 years time. Can’t wait to check it out.

[@markturner5858]

this guy is a true professional. great work!

[@Wabbit1961]

Of all the videos from Ex-pats in Thailand I appreciate this video the most. Showing off your town, the cheap places to rent or own. The food and beverage available. All while just bouncing around town on your scooter. Very nicely done. Very casual, friendly, and relaxed.... like the Thai people and lifestyle ;-) I'll be across from you in Rayong, which honestly is Hua Hin's eastern twin. Love it there.

[@garylee4107]

I like it when Vloggers take us around and show us the area instead of sitting in a room and telling us about it. Great Video! I would take the cheapest one with a pool-- cause that's just how I am... 😜

[@daynevickers1079]

Thanks for your fantastic tour! I would choose the last one... I loved the color scheme and the decorations, plus the furniture looked comfy. The greatest part of the video, for ma, was hearing the locals give you a friendly hout-out when you said hello while passing them. Try that in the States and people would simply look at you as if you're a weirdo. Loved it!

[@RC-eb5hq]

Actually, people in the Midwest are quite friendly. In fact, when Hollywood sends crews here to shoot films, they always talk about how friendly and helpful everyone is.

[@CarsonBoyd]

I gained a whole new appreciation for your production values recently after viewing someone else's jerky and poorly planned video. You're one of my very favorites. I discovered you on a video where you were bopping around the Philippines and meeting people. I remember you came across people celebrating a birthday and were invited to have some food with them. I thought, now that's the kind of people I want to live around. Thanks again, Carson from SoCal.

[@Daisymae174]

Really nice vid. Thanks for taking us around with you, next time I know to visit Hua Hin😊 I would take the last one, just a walk to the beach

[@SabraKay]

You're killing me. Haha, heading to Koh Lanta this month but now I'm rethinking. I saw some of those townhomes were pet-friendly which is a huge selling point for me. Great video!

[@Dan-qm7ho]

I really find your new video approach and the way you are organizing your content for searching of reasonable lodgings in Hua Hin.... This seems to be the kind of place you can enjoy living and relax... For living simple but have many options is a good thing... Keep up presenting the detail like this.... Cheers

[@jgb4unme1]

i liked the last condo, but any of them would work! That last beach bar looked neat too. Ive not seen too much content from Hua Hin, so i am looking forward to your videos!

[@Herode333]

I would live in Seamira House (5 year old hotel near soi 94, ask for a room facing the pool), they have monthly rates < 11k, it's next to the new train tracks (not active) and the Baan Khun Por market (very nice place for a meal with live music). Other choices for condos with rooftop pool are The room (5.5k-8.5k depending on the floor) and Parin Residence (8-10k), they're also next to soi 94. I stayed in La Casita 2 months ago, it was also fine, the pool was great. For restaurants, I'd advise Ken's kitchen (best curry ever), Shiva (great Indian restaurant with a nice garden), Ogen (middle eastern) and Flavours (nice burgers).

[@judymckee5992]

the 5.5k is it that, may I ask?

[@wbev_thai1666]

5:02 That Hilton Hotel used to be Melia Hua Hin that my mom used to work as front desk staff back in late 80s to mid 90s. It used to be a 5-star hotel as Melia and then Hilton took over sometime in late 90s and make it a 4-star hotel. I loved their multi-tiered swimming pools hope they still keep it. Good memories of my early childhood there staying in Melia suite like a month for free.

[@SideTripLife]

Melia was a great hotel, I stayed there before the change to Hilton. Thanks for sharing your unique memories growing up there :))

[@robinchat9024]

Thanks for this vlog sir. I was in Hua Hin in 2018 for a few week.. I’m saving hard to return and hopefully live there nearing my retirement. I’ve never felt so chilled as being there while abroad. Lovely place, lovely people ❤

[@MtStaz71]

I also use to rely on the small fitness gym at Sport Villa back in 2004 rehabbing my knee and take advantage of the nice swimming pool. The restaurant was pretty good as well with poolside tables to eat lunch. I called Hua Hin home for a few years and perhaps again someday. Thanks for the side trip around town.

[@busguy149]

Great Video. 10 years ago I stayed at the PP villa. I love Samui but I think Hua Hin is a great compromise as i like to travel outside Thailand and I am now semi retired. Winter Thai, Summer Calgary. I will definitely look into staying there long term then I can golf, visit Vietnam easily, and visit Samui as well. Keep up the good work my fellow Canuck

Not paying Vancouver prices ($1,500), LOL. My daughter goes to UBC, has a basement apartment in someone’s house, pays $2,500 and that was VERY hard to find. Love your videos. I watch many but think yours are the best. Retiring the end of the year, need to find a fixed address abroad and your videos are really helping. It will just be a home base. I will be travelling more often then there so something cheap but livable for short stints is what I’m looking for. Need to add Hua Hin to the list of places to check out.

[@knowledgeforyou2024]

I've been living here for 2 years, it's a beautiful city. The beach is beautiful and very long, safe, clean, with complete facilities. Since I moved from Bangkok to Hua Hin 2 years ago after working from home. I recommend if you are visiting, renting a car for 25$-30$ per day is very worthwhile. It is only 2 hours away from Bangkok. Of course, if you rent a car from Bangkok, you can easily drive to Hua Hin and Pattaya. I want to say that buying a condo here is really worth it. I bought it for $25000 2 years ago. and now the price has gone up 25%. It a good choice 😍😍🍻🍻👍👍✔✔

[@catbernstein8628]

Really appreciate the boots-on-ground, practical videos. Question: in your various hotel, condo hunts, do you encounter many bugs/roaches in them? My rather specific phobia, but I’m curious. Thanks!

[@kimhicks4781]

Me too. Bugs and critters is a deal breaker. I know someone going there in February this year staying 20 days so I will get a better idea when they return. It sounds like all the additional expenses mentioned makes it no so cheap. Especially for someone on a fixed income. Also future prices could go way up like for instance Mexico . Mexico has priced most retired people out. Just to enter the country to live requires a high income plus a big savings account people going to Mexico to save money do not have those fund. Looks like Mexico is discouraging people to move there. That is the problem. You can give up everything to move overseas then end up finding unexpected changes. I like Sicily and Portugal. Sicily first because it is on the ocean but they are all too far away from family. For me family is more important than places but good luck to all of you who plan to make the move. Cheers 🥂🍻

[@mikegray8776]

I’d take the first one - I actually stayed there for a week before COVID. You’ll obviously need transport though. Takiab is great - but too far out, and very quiet - esp for a whole month. Nice video by the way - very informative - as was the train-journey chronicle !! Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼

[@marcp108]

Wow - I really enjoyed watching this after returning home from a three month stay in Hua Hin. I stayed in a condo at la Casita which is not the cheapest but was quite nice. Each morning, I would use the gym at Sport Villa and then head down to the main beach for my morning beer - I would always park my scooter outside HOC, Amazon or Father Teds. Unfortunately, the two restaurants on Monkey Mountain have since now closed. They both had great inexpensive food and an awesome view.I like your advice about just riding around and having a look. In retrospect I probably should have done the same thing as the pool at my condo was so shallow that it was really only suitable for kids, and not doing laps or diving.

[@bradaltemeyer4472]

Very nice and helpful video! I visit Hua Hin for 20 years now several times. The southern Part of the beach at the temple is still the best!

Also like the last one as well

[@eileengale7661]

The last one was the most beautifully decorated / homey feeling and appeared the cleanest to me. Only thing missing is a bathtub... but I guess you have a giant one 5 minutes away. 😅🌊 Have fun choosing! ☺️✌🏼

SOME OF MY RESPONSES TO EMAILS AND COMMENTS ON THIS & OTHER VIDS:* I've 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 'base' covers having a modestly enjoyable lifestyle here. One's milage may vary of course and each to their own. Also, both health insurance and long term visas can be costly especially depending on age. Under 50 health insurance approx $300 month and elite visa $17K USD for 5 years, 60K USD for 20 years. Over 50 insurance gets increasingly expensive, factor $500 month-up and retirement visa you must show either 65k THB/$1900 USD monthly income, or 800kTHB/$23,000 USD in a Thai Bank account. Many do get other visas such as education visa to learn Thai Language or Muay Thai etc but this is a short term solution and they're cracking down on abusers. Thus, BEFORE you say 'take this job and %#$@! 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. STL
