RETIRE AND LIVE IN RURAL BEACHFRONT THAILAND FOR LESS THAN$700 USD A MONTH IN 2023

Ya gotta check these ones out, lol
I forgot all about this
• BUYING A $180 MOTORBIK...
• I BOUGHT THE CHEAPEST ...
So,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, can you live in Rural Thailand for less than $1000 a month???
Hell yeah!
In this video I show you how much I spent living in Thai Mueang just an hour or so off Phuket island on the mainland,,,,

[@GapBahnDirk]

Steve Rosse is living on Thai Muang somewhere. You can find him at Boontong's bar......

[@ScooterOnHisWay2024]

Steve's channel is very interesting. Great insight.

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

Yup

[@azspeedster5465]

Great video, Doc. You are definitely living your best life in Thailand.

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

at the end of the day I definitely feel like I am living my best life I know there's a lot of people on here that go on about I'm cheap or I'm a penny pincher I'm this or I'm that..... but let's be honest most of those people are living in their mom's basement.... I honestly found that the two months I lived here were incredible I felt wonderful I got healthy again I completely shut off from the craziness that is Phuket... oh so I got to reset myself because I found that I was running into way too many expats that just completely destroyed my happiness.... Cheers mate 🍺

[@Head173]

Great info. Thanks for sharing, I’ll have to check out more on that area.

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

It's lovely there if you are looking to reset your life it is a wonderful spot to go for a couple of months I would not live there for any longer than that myself personally but if you're looking to reset and recharge it's ideal

Hey man great idea Thanks I'll try that in the future Appreciate the tip I'll try to get better at that Cheers mate 🍺

[@ObservationaLee]

When I lived in Patong I used to rent a CBR900 and ride up to Ranong for my visa runs. It was a blast. You go to the dock in Ranong and say to anyone "visa run" and they'll get you a boat to a little island in Myanmar with an immi office. Did that about 6 times. Easy peasey and the ride is fantastic.

That's awesome bro Congratulations

[@steverosse]

Listen, I'm sorry if I came off brusque. How about this? Sometime come back to Thai Mueang and let me buy you a night in our local sweet little boutique hotel. I'll take you around town and show you the place. Anything you want to see. The hot springs, the temple on the beach. The Chinese temple. I'll buy you a couple meals. This is no place you could ever stay for more than one night, let alone permanently. But it's a wonderful place for a guy like me. Keep the invitation in your back pocket and come on up when you have a couple of free days. The Vegetarian Festival in October is pretty great, so is the Turtle Festival in March. I'm hoping to be the first farang to ever enter a float in the Turtle Festival Parade. You can march with me.

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

Hey Steve no worries bro I know how comments can come off,,,,, it's so funny because 90% of the time I do not give the name of the place that I'm staying because I butcher the annunciation horrifically,,,,,,, it comes down to my speech patterns and the inability to roll certain sounds But it is what it is I stayed in Thai Mueang for almost 2 months mate I stayed up I Khao Lak for 1 night while I was there This video was filmed a couple of months ago again I'm sure you'll notice that several parts of this were filmed in a hotel room and other stuff while some stuff is there .... sadly my phone that had my SD card in it with a lot of the footage from up in that area was stolen in Vietnam.... my whole idea about moving up there was I had a friend and she lived there she told me to come up unwind and relax and I didn't spend very much time around anybody I just took some time for myself.... Next time I'm in the area I'll hit you up and take you out for beers and lunch how does that sound????

There is a down side going to the empty beach for the sub to high net worth individual since there is no one to see your high end garments and bling. However for punters who are not going for the Asian city lights, it seems an epic chill zone.

[@italogiardina8183]

@@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean Yes if subtracting the bling you have classic men’s garments that can with some experimentation give a timeless sense to as an oxymoron flatter mature features rather than do the youth pose as 20 to 40 year olds can do within sub culture genera’s. This is if clothes is required given a deserted beach entails going without as an option, or minimal garments for mitigation of bugs and hot sand on skin if the retired gent/hobo has skin in the game. So for quality of life then minimalism and comfort though for standard of living a wardrobe of high net worth and throw in the Apple Watch every where to go paperless pay even in ripped shorts.

[@ma3stro681]

Just returned after an intrepid 2 months in the Kingdom (went nowhere near overpriced Phuket this trip) and I was ready to return Down Under with a week to go. Let’s face it, Thailand is tiring and quite boring after a few weeks and I would rather live on my peaceful, remote property in the Oz mountains and just visit Thailand once a year in winter. Next trip a month will be enough I reckon. The chaos and pollution (rubbish everywhere) of Thailand plus the totally different culture and lack of English (Thai is a very difficult language to learn) just gets old pretty quick, even though I love the place and people. A man needs projects and creative, constructive things to do. Can’t just sit around beaches and bars all day long and just talk to burnt out, boring, alcoholic expats, unless you’re also one of course … 😅

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

Thailand my friend is like anything else in life,,,, it is what you make it.... if you want to be a boring alcoholic loser sitting in some bar somewhere you can do that in Thailand you can do it in Australia Canada doesn't f****** matter... Wherever you go There you are..... I keep myself extremely busy doing things exploring going places going on adventures so Thailand to me is paradise. . if you come here and you're a sole purpose is sitting in a bar molesting bar girls then life isn't going to be as much fun.... Thanks for watching and commenting Cheers mate 🍺

[@stegura83]

23:24 As a restaurant worker in the USA, my restaurant serves soft drinks in refillable 22 ounce glasses. Kind of disgusting how some people can gulp down 40 to 60 ounces of soda before they even get their food!!! In Thailand and much of Europe there is no fountain sodas at restaurants. You basically get a 12 or 16 ounce soda can a glass of ice and refills cost extra.

[@ma3stro681]

Just one reason there’s an obesity epidemic in the USA, which is a fast wilting empire …

[@stegura83]

@ma3stro681 Ya, but the most obese countries % wise are small isolated Pacific Island states who have to import the majority of their food with the majority of it being canned, frozen, or processed. Obesity is rampant in Canada and Mexico too.

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

my thing with the Coke and the soda guys is that I have such a hard time going cold turkey if you watched enough of my videos you know that any of my cost of living series has a coke expenditure in it and I spend way too much money on Coke so I was really proud of myself to only drink six

Mark, I think you would really enjoy the New Honda Click 160, it's way better than the wimpy 125.

[@ma3stro681]

Terrible single spring rear suspension on the Honda, but a punchy little moped nonetheless. Yamaha Aerox 155 is a better moped (twin rear springs) though it’s not a step through like the Click, so you can’t carry as much luggage between your legs when required …

[@thehammer3340]

@ma3stro681 Honda ADV 160 is not a step through but has dual shocks and is real nice, worth checking out.

Hi Dr. Mark , we love your video's. Your knowledge is so valuable when coming to Thailand. Were retiring there next year and looking to rent a condo.

Hi doc, are there literally no places in patong/Phuket that you can’t just go have a beer without being harassed for lady drinks? I’ve watched Thailand Rob in the past and he seemed to have a couple places he would go that just had normal bars.

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

There are a couple places yes,,,,, Quite honestly brother I really needed to get away from the other KZbinrs influencers TicTokers lol moreso than the bar girls,,, Lol

Hi can you explain a bit more about your internet from 711 as all the locals here tell me that's impossible

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

It was pretty simple really I walked I to 7-11 asked for a S*M card and package told them I wanted the best package they had Bought it and it was 400 Baht for 3 months Used that for over 2 years Sadly they did away with that package and now I pay 200 Baht...... What are they telling you is impossible??? it could be because they just don't understand it because most of the local people do the pay and go almost on a daily basis as opposed to paying in advance for something

I am coming to Thailand by the end of this year. Should I book a hotel in Bangkok first or just get a taxi from the airport to downtown Bangkok then walk in to any hotel and ask the front desk for the cost per night? Also, shouldn't I need to buy a new battery charger for my laptop before I can plug it to outlet there? I am bringing my laptop with me.

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

Hey mate Personally what I would do is I would book one night on Agoda that way you have a place to go for the first day and night because you're going to be tired when you get there you don't want to be running around trying to find a hotel room or anything like that.. .. see what you like about the location see if you're happy with the hotel and if you are tried to negotiate a better price with them. .. I would definitely pick up a two prong adapter so that you can plug your laptop in most of the newer hotels have the proper plugs but if you're staying in an older one basically a cheaper one most likely you're going to need an adapter. If you need anything while you're in Thailand you can hit me up on Line travelguy1844 Get the Grab app Food Panda and BOLT apps as well

[@KinkyHeadMonkey]

@@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean Thanks for the info Doc. Book one night on Agoda, I am assuming Agoda is a hotel or an online booking website right? I will hit you up when I get there. My plan is to travel around Thailand, stay a few weeks in Bangkok, Hua Hin, Jomtien Pattaya etch., then head to Issan before deciding my base. I am thinking about Udon Thani too since the a 3bds ,2ba house near downtown is merely $275/month not that I need it though. I am single but I do not want to live in a 40-story-condo. A townhouse would be fine for me.
