Soon I Will Be Taxed Out Of Thailand! Why Don't I Take Better Care Of My Mom in Thailand? QnA

[@driftwoodsmittyasia1286]

Guys... Card carrying Texan here...been coming to Thailand since 1975.... married and now single...Thai immigration requirements have me living in the Philippines.... I visit Thailand as I can depart and restart my Philippines tourist exemption...up to 3 years...

[@adc5897]

Loving the new studio, Chuck! Plus - a good response to the doubter re your mOm. She’s been given a new lease on life in Thailand - so many put their parents in nursing homes and forget about them!!

[@Brocks-Travels]

I generaly reverse into a parking spot, as its easier to just drive out and you can see whats in the way easier.

[@BrockAry]

Yeah, but does it take you 5 or 6 times backing in to get it right? Lol ❤

[@GarNelson1]

I do, too. I have a better view of any cross traffic while I'm backing in and a better view of cross traffic when pulling out. It's a lot easier to park head-in, and I feel it is safer for me to back in.

[@Brocks-Travels]

@@BrockAry Nah, generally make it in one go, without doing too much damage to the other cars 555

[@mattblank9224]

I've always backed in to a space, so it's easier and safer when pulling out, especially in Thailand when scooters are coming at you from every direction. I must say that a lot of Thais seem ok at this, although there are those who are not 😅

[@BrockAry]

@@Brocks-Travels HAHAHAHAHA ❤️

[@lmcg2803]

Just watched your latest vid re: drivers license renewal. I hear you regarding Toyota Cars and trucks. Would you feel the same about Honda in terms of built to last and availability of after market parts etcin Thailand?I’ve never owned a Toyota vehicle I have owned Hondas. Just wondering. Keep up good work!

[@dazdragon445]

Yes, But Honda doesn't have all the trucks & SUVs like Toyota. In Thailand it's good to have an SUV or truck for 1....because of the roads.....and 2...The amount of water that's on the road when it rains,flooding is not uncommon.

[@lmcg2803]

@ Great advice. So more Toyota options for bigger Vehicles. Got you. Thanks D 🐉

[@notime2bsad]

There's not really any Honda trucks here and I prefer something like that or an SUV

[@saigongriffin]

Fun nonstandard questions…my in-laws are Khmer (they live with us like your situation) and in my newly built house in Phnom Penh we have two kitchens, one indoors with plenty of room similar to yours and an outdoor one, we also have a proper dining room with a large table. Prepping food is always done outside on a mat on the floor (good idea to use a krok on the floor instead of cracking granite counters) while eating meals by most family members is also on the floor but inside the western kitchen even though we have a dining room with a large table, and finally naps are taken by the in-laws on the western kitchen floor during the afternoon hours. My western kitchen is only used by me for cooking while it serves many other purposes for my family😂. We rarely, as a family, eat meals together, it’s fun to watch, one group on the floor and another (usually younger) group at the table. Our kitchen floors are extremely clean. It will never change. If we have friends and extended family over, out come the mats placed on the garage floor in front of the house for meals, drinks, and socializing and everyone enjoys themselves, including me, but I sit on a folding camping chair 555

[@NickyDunn]

I thought I sent my comment. After I watched it. Bed for me, 555 Hiya Chuck your good to answer some questions. Most I would ignore. 555. Have a great day

[@stuckinflorida9685]

You moved your mom over 9,000 miles closer to you, but I guess that’s not close enough?? 🤦🏻‍♂️ you are probably closer to her now than when you both lived in the Huston area 🍻

[@notime2bsad]

🙏🙏🙏

[@tobyprice1092]

We have a western kitchen. My wife still chops up food on the ground. She's done it all of her life that way. I see it as normal now.

[@MrMairu555]

A car is more maneuverable into a tight space in reverse (despite Thais, the world's worst drivers, making it look quite the opposite!) and your vision is better when driving forward out of the space. In the UK it's illegal to reverse out onto a main road, so we're taught/learn right from early days to reverse onto driveways and into parking spaces. I soon noticed when I first travelled to the States that (a) parking spaces are so much larger than the UK, and (b) the roads so much wider... all that space makes it much easier to just drive into a space. Drive into a space in Thailand or the UK, and you'll almost never get into it squarely, and will need to shuffle backwards and forwards a few times to straighten up. (Plenty of people in the UK still can't park though! 🤣🤣🤣🤣)

[@mattblank9224]

Thanks for the Q&A interesting stuff👍 I was wondering what happened to the worm tablets, or whatever it was you and Daz took. I've hit 60 and after 40 years of manual work have gone from 80kg to around 120 in the last ten years 😮 Enjoy your videos, and have a great day

[@retire_recharge_roam]

Thx for the video...2 years in Laos and still getting used to the flies (and ants) inside the house on occasion. Regarding the cultural differences, I think at some point it's best just not to worry and bother asking questions, "why?" I ask my wife and she turns to me and says, "I don't know I've lived in the US the last 20 years, why do you think?" 🤔. By the way, nice Tito's banner on the wall!

[@Tom-sg4iv]

It is easier to get in and out of a tight spot if you back in

[@BrockAry]

Hey Chuck, yeah, good answer. It is very entertaining for the most part. There was this one lady that must have tried to get into this one parking spot 8 times and finally gave up. Then she went to another spot where there were 4 parking stalls. After 4 attempts she was happy with what she had done and went into the store. I walked over after she had gone into the store and took a look at what she had done. Surprisingly, she was only in 3 parking spots. She had parked on an angle, and her front was in the stall on the right, and the back was in the stall to the left. I will admit, that most of the car was in the stall she was trying to get into. Lol ❤

[@davidtoolin4932]

Hi Chuck. I'm the ice maker guy. Thank you for answering my question! I was pretty shocked to see it up on the screen, I gotta tell you. And i was pretty embarrassed to see how I had blathered on, as someone else was trying to read it! 😂 Sorry about that! "Blah blah blah" was the right way to get out of it! LOL Cheers!

[@notime2bsad]

You are a good sport. It was fun!

[@freelancetravels]

We always park "backwards" here in Okinawa, too. I think it's just more common on this side of the world and, like you said, Chuck...ya just never know what'll end up in front of or behind you - ESPECIALLY in Thailand. I just experienced driving solo there at our future home and it was quite the experience that'll take some getting used to. Cheers, gang!

[@gregh7457]

You ever wonder why they park front end first at the family mart? I get a kick at looking at all the banged up rear hatches in japan. Some people just aren't good at backing in to tight spaces. I used to be a bodyman and the most expensive part of the car to repair is the front end like the a/c, radiator and headlights and a lot of accidents happen in parking lots. so i always park front end first to protect it. Also at costco i see people fighting to open their rear hatch to load their cars up. Its especially hard to load up when 2 people are trying to load at the same time.

[@freelancetravels]

@gregh7457 Good point, ha. I haven't braved the Costco here just yet.

[@BlueBaron69]

Thanks for posting & answering my question. I think the periodic Q&A videos are a good idea. Studio is coming along nicely but neon alien is a little distracting and I would consider using a darker color like a dark brown or black for the border trim above the brick.

[@Jeff_E]

Nope. You’re wrong about everything. My next door neighbor’s cousin’s housekeeper’s niece’s neighbor’s mailman’s uncle who was in Thailand once in 1956 said that everything is different. But he drinks. A lot. lol Keep the videos coming. Yeah, even the golf videos.

Can you recommend a flash router . I’ve been using a vpn on my computer to watch movies from the USA.

[@bp51326]

It might be best for your viewer to get a visa agent in Hua Hin. I’m in Cha Am and had a visa agent in Hua Hin , who did all my visa work AT Hua Hin immigration office . So my first experience at Cha Am immigration was extra problems . Same with the bank, open your account in the city you live , later on in my first year I had to switch branches

[@notime2bsad]

Glad you found something that works for you. That's a good thing, we have a law office that is handled thousands of our viewers very successfully along with many other legalities.

I thought u create these videos for fun and not for money 💰, or do you?

[@notime2bsad]

hmmm If you create something everyday and you can also make money that is a bonus. Does it really matter?

Hey Chuck, you said you have a younger brother living in Ohio. Which part? I grew up in Ohio and currently live in the SW corner. Enjoy your videos. Have a great Thanksgiving.

[@SalamatUK]

I thought you got off pretty lightly with your recent expired license! I was driving a rental car and that had an expired tax disk and I was fined 1000thb!

[@JamesDawson-u2b]

Hey Chuck I don't know if you remember me ? I am I the guy that told you to try a 3 iron because you weren't hitting your three woods . I told you I was going to the philippines and then to Bangkok got here in Bangkok I was sick so I got a cab who went to the hospital l was getting out of the cab and my phone must of fell out of my pocket in the cab of course I grabbed a cab off the street a green and yellow cab along storey is I am here by myself I bought a phone here I was lucky I brought my laptop and it has a contact list of phone numbers of family and friends the Sim card is unlimited text and phone and online but not long distance can I buy a international calling Sim for this phone I would really appreciate any help or information you can and I am not one of those Foreigners who take advantage of other people I am just a little lost here !

[@notime2bsad]

We actually bought an international SIM card at the airport. But you can get any SIM card and add roaming to the SIM card very easily online. We don't use our international card anymore we just add roaming data to our service we have when we travel abroad. The SIM card is basically data only if you want to receive calls it's still very expensive. I suggest getting a Google voice phone number, or use Face book messenger, Line app, or WhatsApp to make calls internationally free, you can Google that to see what it's about.

[@JamesDawson-u2b]

@notime2bsad I have Google on my computer. And since I can't remember my. Facebook. Password I can't get on facebook I do. Have whatsapp But the problem there is no one in my family has whatsapp Show contacting through that

[@JamesDawson-u2b]

I have A. Google account for my Gmail on my computer. I signed up for a Google account here, but it has no connection with my old Google account on my computer. I have a WhatsApp, but no one else to my family would have it. So I'm left with trying to call. Someone someone in the states to let them know what's happening to me here. Period I've tried email and it doesn't seem to go through. Or no, but you looked at their email anymore. I am so screwed. It isn't funny. The only good thing is a hard copied. My iticanary's for hotels and flights. But nobody in the states will know when to come pick me up. Life is fun chucky

Due to my age and pre existing conditions I can’t purchase a health insurance policy to cover me in Thailand. That said, I have heard that if one has a Medicare Advantage plan from a third party insurer, you can be reimbursed after the fact for major medical events, like heart attacks, etc. Basically one actually self insures and pays for health care to the Thai hospital, but can eventually be reimbursed.

Thus, you still need to have enough cash reserves to cover serious health events.

Hi Chuck, your entire family enjoys sitting on the front porch. Why not get some comfy chairs. Just a thought.

HI Chuck 👋 IF i Transfer Money 💰 To Thailand 🇹🇭 IF I Will Be Tax

[@philipbarnard2474]

Question is, why do you want to transfer money to Thailand? Tax evasion is the same whatever country you live in

[@JamesLangenberg-s8f]

4 years ago a liter of coke was 29 baht….today 36. 25% increase is representative of broad pricing. We as fatang with our inflation adjusted income might not care but for Thai people it’s a disaster

[@notime2bsad]

Agree but the statement was based on foreigner leaving Thailand due to inflation. There was no suggestion it did not effect Thai's.......

[@JamesLangenberg-s8f]

“I don’t really see the inflation here. Maybe things have gone up a little bit, maybe a tiny bit”.

[@notime2bsad]

@@JamesLangenberg-s8f if you are quoting what I was saying it still doesn't affect most foreigners on there exchange. Never mentioned anything about It does not effect Thai's as to your statement.

[@JamesLangenberg-s8f]

@@notime2bsad The point is, inflation IS a major issue whether farang or Thai. Your dismissal should have been tempered with acknowledgment that inflation is indeed a serious problem. It’s not as inconsequential as you indicate. After 25 years I have never seen a more difficult time in Thailand economically. I moved as here as the Tum Yum Kung financial collapse was just being ameliorated but I knew too many who would suffer for years more. We farang, because our lives are so easy, tend to discount the burdens. It’s not just you, we all have our moments

[@notime2bsad]

@JamesLangenberg-s8f I will still say Thailand's inflation does not affect most westerners here. We don't have to agree, do we?
