What do I spend to live a normal life in Thailand?

[@CerebralAptitude]

Been retired here for all of almost 3 weeks, YOUR viewers will not think anything you are doing will be boring. It's called life sir and men in the west pine to be in your situation. You tend to forget how much you help other men by being informative. Great video.

[@GreenyTravels]

I hope this will help. Just seeing it real

[@scottw5879]

Great idea, looking forward to the rest of the month. Very informative. Much appreciated 👍

[@GreenyTravels]

I appreciate it

[@teplostar]

My expenditures in Thailand run around 60,000 baht per month. It includes rent, moto, insurance, gym and entertainment up to 15K per months. But I am not drinker and not heavy eater. My weight gone from 188 lb when I arrived three months ago to 180 lb due to hot weather and some beach tennis.

[@GreenyTravels]

Nice. Keep it going!!

[@theunrestrictedfreeagent1]

Nice driving range. I'm here back in the Matrix but I will be back in a few weeks. Leave it to Chris to violate the private beach sign 😂😂😂Tell Chris and Gary I'm missing Thailand already. See you guy soon. Great video.

[@GreenyTravels]

You don’t miss it here. You are just ready to come back because your Scarlet Buys embarrassment you 😝

[@ditchingcorporate]

🤭🤭🤭

[@Waverunner-w6r]

Excellent video and video series idea, Greeny! Even if you you only film a week or two, seeing everyday life of a settled ex-pat will be more than interesting. Thanks for doing this! - Mark O (aka waverunner)

[@GreenyTravels]

I appreciate you checking it out.

[@Jon.......]

I was kind of expecting a run down of monthly expenses (rent, electricity, water, phone, insurance, food, transportation, entertainment, etc.) but I guess that you will cover those eventually. Happy Travels!

[@GreenyTravels]

We will. As we get there day by day. Now you have to watch every episode 😆

[@gene_retire]

I like the idea of what the costs are in a day over the course of a month. I think that is good to share. Thank you.

[@GreenyTravels]

Thanks. I hope thinking of new ideas will keep me motivated

[@RandalHxxx]

greeny i spent 465 baht yesterday for lunch next to rural king... with the snow.., with the cold... my car starting a little wier......no use.... i'm on my way....

[@GreenyTravels]

Time to escape

Thanks Robert!!

[@shaineire]

As someone who plans on moving to Thailand and lives a pretty boring life myself I love this idea and will follow along. You do seem to have a fair amount of adventures so it can't all be boring😂. Life cant be exciting all the time no matter where you live.

[@GreenyTravels]

True. Some more exciting than others. Appreciate you following along

[@seanmercer9292]

Good one Greeny, Chilled. Hua Hin end of January side trip to Jomtien. Maybe see ya around... multiple beers 😂

[@vgshwk]

I am going to be in Hua hin mid January for 4 days and then 16 in pattaya. I originally was going to do 8 days in pattaya and then I found out I would be checking out around Chinese new year I didn’t want to deal with finding another hotel or the traffic so I booked for 8 more nights.

[@GreenyTravels]

I like it there

[@GreenyTravels]

That’s a good idea

[@genericchannel5899]

I like the fake Slayer interlude music. Gets the blood flowing.

[@GreenyTravels]

lol. It try to mix the tunes up. With I could use some real Slayer or Mettalica

[@LV515009]

Liking the idea of the daily routine and what it cost for what you do. Hoping you made it to the fireworks festival and will be doing a flog on that? Oh and you go to the driving range out there but do you ever play a round of golf?

[@GreenyTravels]

Yes I golf on occasion. My buddies go all the time. I considered the firework but heard ever road was deadlocked so I skipped it. Could see from my balcony. Looked the size of dines and quarters 😂

[@jackblack98765]

Greeny, how do you stay mobile? You mentioned buying furniture and washer/dryer. Do you sell it all when you move, or do you hire movers to move things around? Love your channel and videos.

[@GreenyTravels]

If I sell my Condo all the furniture and electronics will be included in the price.

[@changnoiboi]

👍

[@GreenyTravels]

Thank you!!

[@Cassie4486]

The prices for coffee/bagel is about the same price here in the US at Duncan Donuts (now just called Duncan for whatever reason).

[@GreenyTravels]

Yea. Funny though Starbucks like double

[@ajg4528]

Did you bring your clubs with you to Thailand or buy them there?

[@GreenyTravels]

I bought a set in the IS and brought the on a trip home

[@Sharpslaw]

A we say in the south, Saturday night and twice on sunday!

[@GreenyTravels]

lol. We say that in Michigan or did back in the day

[@rein3684]

Where do you live in Thailand?

[@GreenyTravels]

Near Bang Saray

[@paulhefner2813]

if you are tired after eating then you possibly are taking in too many carbs. I found that reducing carbs to around 15 percent of calories gives a brain and energy boost. Another string financial thing is that even at passive income of 10k per month you cannot live well in a few states in the usa. Just an observation. thank god the tax cuts are not going to be repealed. thanks for the video. play some tennis for longevity.

[@GreenyTravels]

Thanks Paul

[@jekylltraveler]

I thought all beaches in Thailand were public. That topic came up in the news last year in phuket and hua hin.

[@GreenyTravels]

Yea. Us too. Thats why I was being so sarcastic about it. Maybe down at the water a certain amount of meters is public

[@cobra935o]

I'm interested in the cost of renting a place, how much the car and motorbike payments are, stuff like that. I know I can live cheaply from day to day, but its been 20 years since the last time I have been to Thailand, when I used to go a lot as I was stationed in Okinawa Japan.

[@GreenyTravels]

Not my exact situation since I own but will try to show some places friends rent

[@AcmeRocket]

There are perhaps 10000 videos on the cost of renting a place , car, motorbike in Pattaya and all other parts of Thailand. That may be an underestimate.

[@jdsalinger147]

Speaking of being lazy (me in this case), would you mind putting the total daily spend at the end if it's not too much trouble in future vlogs of this series? Thanks

[@ViewTalay]

He did

​@@ViewTalay I could very well be wrong, but I looked again and still didn't see it

Scan for golf if they don’t take cash or credit card most visitors wouldn’t be able to go there.

[@GreenyTravels]

True. Gotta go with a local.

[@winxtra2892]

after being in ratrace for 30 years, I looks forward to have a boring life (good life)..

Hey greeny are you still with the gf? Does she affect the cost of living much?

[@GreenyTravels]

Oh when she arrives in a few days you will see my spending skyrocket.

[@ditchingcorporate]

Why are you following me around all day?

[@corneliusanderson-t3y]

whit thai lady everything gets 5-7 times more expensiv.

[@GreenyTravels]

My lady will come in a few days to hang out so I will put all that in there.

[@bobwelo]

[@GreenyTravels]

Thank you

[@Thewootanglife]

If you stay more then 180 days in one calendar year, you have to pay Thai income tax on savings, 401K, pension or any other type of income / money you bring into the country, add 17% to 35% (depends on your tax bracket) to your monthly budget, no tax on USA social security - Do a video on the Thai tax issues for ex pats.

[@GreenyTravels]

I’m no expert on that. I’ve seen a few people talk about it. Always conflicting opinions. Fortunately for me it doesn’t affect me. I have the LTR visa which make me exempt from the current scheme

[@raff1971]

Does it include buying trips food and businesses for your girlfriend??😂

[@GreenyTravels]

I’m gonna include everything this month. I may or may not give her money. I’ll definitely be buying food

[@raff1971]

Extra videos this month, because you tube pays the most money this month. Are you capable of being straight with us just once??? Mind you you are an ex cop, so lies come naturally I guess 😂

[@GreenyTravels]

I’ll let you know if I make more. The money is here or there. I really want to get over the 40k sub mark before the end of the year. My goal was 50k but I’m falling short

[@mrbHanoi]

Nice private beach

[@GreenyTravels]

I think it was actually for a restaurant or beach club. Obviously you can still walk on the beach near the water.

[@onknight]

I'd love to try it problem is the flights are so damn expensive from Canada. And I'm only 56 I'd have to wait till I'm 65 because I physically just don't have the capital to do it now

[@GreenyTravels]

Definitely make sure your finances are ready because once you get here you won’t won’t to go back

[@TimeToTravel-u2x]

Lol. If you are worried about flights....a few extra hundred $$ @ 56....you'll never make it at 65yo

[@raff1971]

It’s down to about 1000 Canadian If you can’t afford that, then you have no business travelling
