The real reason, why i moved to Thailand

This is why I moved to Thailand, the UK is just crazy money for everything. Im starting to get really depressed in the UK i need to leave soon.

[@Stevo8013]

I was offered the chance to move to Australia from Cardiff in 2003 with my job, I am and always will be a proud Welshman but I’ve only been back twice in 20 years, you can exist in the UK but if you want to actually live you have to move away, life is for living simple as that.

I know the days are dragging on for you but hang on in there for your health sake, no point in going back until you get the all-clear, just imagine heading back to Thailand and you have a relapse, It's not worth the risk, I'm in my fifties myself and I know how you feel stuck this side of the world, but the time won't be long passing and you'll be living it large over their very soon, I can even see you decorating the Christmas tree in the castle, black of course with leather baubles.

[@rootoothelmet2387]

Fully agree with your assessment. The same applies here in Australia. Horribly expensive, and the behaviour of many people is very disturbing. I enjoy Pattaya for much the same reasons as you. It's a free and easy place where you can go to the beach, a bar, a restaurant etc and strike up a conversation with the locals and the tourists/ex pats that live there and have a really great time. You can live alone there but you are never far from company and fun, plus it is really easy to get around (and cheap). 3 months to go for you.

Nothing I say is misleading at all, buy a bottle of beer in a pub in the UK, your telling me it will cost you £1.33 a bottle of bud in the pub in Porthcawl is over £5 go into any city its more. I'm not sure where you're coming from there . Thanks anyway for the message

@@somerrush6989 Really? Just been I'm Pattaya for 1 month. Name 1 bar so I can drink pints for under £2!

[@soiraider2201]

@@welshboywebby you said 60 baht a pint!!!!? Standard bottle at that price just scrapes in a half a pint. If your going to put it our there at least get it correct.

I was getting two bottles of Chang or Leo/Singha etc for 99 baht in Jomtien in some places in June which works out roughly at £2.20 a pint, most places I was paying no more than 70 or 80 baht a 330 ml bottle so roughly around the £3.00 a pint mark, still not bad, I get a pint of Fosters here in Wolverhampton in my local town centre pub The Billy Wright for £2.35 so it’s swings and roundabouts.

There needs to be a reference word for all UK guys to "Quote Misery" which explains why many are leaving for SE Asia & explaining the same thing, "Miserable UK" & Feeling Good in Asia Probably save 30mins of explaining the same reasons on every vid. Never the less Webby I enjoy yer vids. PS I left 40yrs ago

Buddy try dating sites here in the UK, fat lazy woman, load of kids, there job title is full time mommy and they want an invetsment banker who is 6ft2, no kids and enjoys DIY. I am out this place when I can! Can I ask, how old are you? When did you get off the work plantation? As single guy who if am honest likes woman and beer, how much would I need a month in Thailand? Cheers buddy and keep this channel.

Finished work at 48, moved to Thailand at 50 I'm never ever going back in the rat race, you'll need about 18k a year watch my videos when I went out there all you need to know money wise

[@davewordsworth1251]

Cheers man. Am just watching the video now of the chap who took his Thai wife to the UK. The other vidoes I will be watching straight after! And yes mate, I admire you not going back to the rat race. It will take me a couple of more years yet. I think you look well buddy, how old are you now? @@welshboywebby

@davewordsworth1251 51 I'm going back to Thailand 2nd November, it will be a few years until I return back to the UK, the only reason I'll come back is if my children need me or i need medical treatment again

[@davewordsworth1251]

Cheers buddy, I am just watching your video on monthly spending now. It really is a different world. My council tax in Sheffield is £160 amonth in my flat. For the past 6 months I have been at my girlfriends down south and my electric even thou I was not here was £100 a month, you get the picture! I ask myself what am I doing! As I could have an investment income of about 1500 to 1800 a month and not have to put up with the above costs and watching Britain decline! I take you are happier? Do you ever get lonely? Any hobbies when your back in Thailand? I promise, no more questions now! PS: Your channel should be "Merlin in Thailand" @@welshboywebby

@davewordsworth1251 get lonely loads of times, get bored loads of times, but it's worse in the UK, your bored lonely cold and skint.
