why you need to move to Bangkok NOW

[@kentmemories]

Hi Joy, $2k is quite luxury living here 😊. Normal starting salary in BKK is only $500. I am sure all Thai want to talk to you but they are not confident in their English You can easily find Thai BF who wants to practice his Eng, while you practice your Thai. BKK is messy but fun both day and night, but real Thai is outside BKK. Food, air, people, nature are much better and cheaper than BKK. Klongtoey is unsafe only if you walk into the middle of Slum after 9pm. MRT Klongtoey station is 100% safe, and I believe BTS/MRT here is one of the world's safest. Chill (Sabay Sabay) is part of Thai culture. Another is Kreng-jai, I don't think they have vocab in Eng yet. You can practice more Thai by joining club that you like, be it running, cooking, or etc. Or you can try homestay for 1 week. Enjoy your time here. I am 100% sure every Thai welcome you here with open arms.

[@sacredation]

Your Thai language has been improved a lot! With one more year in Thailand, you should basically communicate with local people easily. Nice to have you here in Bangkok Thailand Joyce!

[@messiahstorage9647]

I'm so glad that Thailand made you feel comfortable and safe, gave you a chill vibe, and even made you see yourself here in the next 1 or 2 years. I really wish you happiness and joy here in Thailand while you reach your personal goal as well.

[@toywatch3503]

I am Thai. I would like to say that all Thai people still agree that the Thai language is very difficult. Therefore, I would like to present a quick way to learn Thai. Learn listening and speaking Be fluent first. After that, learning to read Thai, write Thai, and living in Thailand at the same time. It will be much easier. Welcome, may you find only happiness throughout your stay in Thailand.

[@solazycray8744]

I rather just want to learn communication with thai people, reading or writing isn’t as important to me since i just want to talk with my family

[@dungdinh5547]

This was also the way that I learned Thai before.

Sometimes we laugh or smile, it is the first gesture to cover the shyness or don't know what to do at the moment, not because they laugh at the person. Especially when we can't speak or understand the language. 😅

Hey Joyce! I don’t usually comment but just wanted to drop a note to tell you how much I love your videos and how much assurance(?) it has given me for my upcoming move to BKK next year. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and I bit the bullet and made the decision after watching your ‘first day living in Bangkok’ video. Hope to see you around then😊

[@joycehysin]

Thailand welcome you na 🙏🏼

[@문수진-c9o]

Utter waste of time. Thailand is not a country that accepts immigration or provide any long-term prospect for living as a foreigner. Sooner or later you will face visa issues and frustration that comes from heavy pollution, traffic jam, cultural barrier, and corruption. It's a country that you might stay just for a week or month. no more.

[@Koko-oe9lx]

Same here, I’m moving to Bangkok soon as well and Joyce’s input on IG and KZbin has given me some assurance too. Hope we can all can meet up one day. 😊

[@theriver6571]

"If you come to Thailand & you are not happy,that's really on you"-Joyce Sin Very true.As a 'bit' of a traveler myself,after my retirement as a flight crew...I've been coming to Bkk every other month just to chill & at times doing next to nothing and am happy 😃! (no more touristy things/naughty stuffs for my age after all the travels haha).Bkk have that happy place vibe in em.Bkk may not be the most spanking modern city in the world but hey the place is different! Love your simple & candid videos (am watching some other youtubers on/with Bkk/Thai contents too). Keep it up & stay happy 👍🏻😊

[@qazimzim]

Really love your videos, am in Bangkok now and hope to bump into you! Watching the Thai dramas really got me into understanding the culture, language and songs more!

I like your dreamy side and practical street smart side, the two sides perfectly blend in in your video and I like your dedication to Thai language and culture as an ABC living in Thailand

the “interview” made me giggle😭

[@dronejaishop2990]

Hi Joyce, got addicted to your videos for some reasons, I'm Thai who used to live in the U.S. (Los Angeles) for like 3 years. However, I personally think that strangers tend to say hi to random people more than Thais, but i mean just basic greetings like Hi!! (with a smile), but what you mentioned is true, like Thai people tend to talk more when it come to more detailed things. anyway, have fun in Thailand and keep upload the videos!

[@yutthasakkomjornkijborworn6185]

The way you speak Thai is so cute❤

[@Ramonxavierp]

I live in Udon Thani, and the cost of living here is even lower for example, I pay 8k baht for my studio which is located in the best place in the city and is excellent. However, I have plans to move to Bangkok, although I like Udon, I think Bangkok is the best city to live in Thailand. About you being from a small town and being introverted, I'm the opposite, I come from a big city in Brazil, where everyone is super communicative, I can talk about anything, with anyone anywhere, I love talking to strangers hahahahahaha

[@randallmeans9797]

Your video editing is amazing!!

[@praphaniamsam-ang8606]

I somehow can't stop watching your video. As a Thai living in NZ for 5 yrs now, I would say Aus and Kiwi are more open. We even say hi to almost any strangers in the neighborhood.

I have been watching your video for practicing my listening skill for a while. You are talking very fast but easily to catch. By the way, your Thai language has improved. It is very nice to have you here in Thailand and cheer our country up. I wish you luck and love Thailand as much as we do. Cheer !!

Thank you for posting this, I’m literally sitting a the airport on my way to Thailand. I have kind of a similar story where I’m from a small town USA 😂 (i was born in Thailand) and super introvert as well I have like 3 good friends back in the US. Hopefully I’ll be able to make more friends out in Bangkok ! On the upside though I still speak fluent thai I can read and write as well

[@kmt00]

"If you come to Thailand and you're not happy, that's really on you." - I like how you put it, so true. Thailand's got mix of modern and traditional setting next to each other, depending which angle you're looking. You may want to enjoy malls with ACs, but you also crave traditional tom yom noodles on street, you can. And it's not poverty, cuz the local street food are delicious and they are o making more revenue a month than most office workers dressed beautifully on high rise building. It's really hard to explain.

[@flomboyant]

Regarding Thai language, You are doing well, BTW Love = Kwarm Rak or Rak(รัก) "ร" it's pronouce as "R", while Lak(ลัก) actually means "steal" so please becareful. Anyway, with this amount of effort you putting into, your Thai language will be close to perfect in around 3 years (You probably be able to make proper conver to locals within a year) Watching Thai series is a very good way to improve(in term of correct accent and appropriateness). Having someone to talk to can improve greatly as well but since you are an introvert so maybe it's not an option, however having people to help correcting the specific words or sentenses could be really helpful though. Since Thai language has many shades and not every locals speak Thai with the same accent hence you may need to choose your role model carefully. If you are a GMMTV fan, I recommend to try immitate these following actors/actresses; - Tay Tawan (calm, nice tone, good pronunciation) - Namtan Tipnaree (elegant, misterious, perfect pronunciation) - Film Rachanun (confident, charming, clear pronunciation) - Jane Ramida (cool, decent pronunciation) please avoid; - Prim Chanikarn (Unclear pronunciation) - Dew Jirawat (Unclear pronuciation, a little careless) Hope this helps.

So agree with liking Thailand because of who you become! I think I like the country not necessarily because I had a nice trip (there were so many things that popped up that I could've complained about) but rather what I learnt about myself while I was there while solving all those things 🙂 On another note I spent an hour trying to find the engineering building at Chula on my trip there and never found it 🤣Found the economics building instead 😅

ISTP here krub. Let me give you trick to practice Tonal language like Thai in a way that will stick into your brain for good. 1. Write down consonant and pronouce it 2. Write down each vowels and pronouce it. 3. Combine basic consonants and vowels to become word and then pronounce it. At this stage you got the basic word which form the base sound of word by each consonants and vowels. After a couple set of mix between consonant and vowels, you'll get an idea and familirized yourself on word construction and pronounciation. 4. Add additional tone marker for basic words and pronounce it. All of above stage you may need to practice - Write according to the words after teacher. If you are learning alone, you just open the sound and write it down that word. You need to maste it first before jumping into anything else. This is the most important fundamental of Thai language. Then you can go with basic reading that will help you understand and memorize the sound and how to write simple words together. More you pronounce + write and read the basic, more you have strong foundation when you speak. For speaking, you may need to keep using basic sentences as much as you can. Repeadly in every steps will help you understand overtime. Drop me message if you need help about Thai Language. It's easier than Mandarin since we got certain set of letters to construct word. Cheers !!!

In the next 3-4 years Bangkok wil transform into something else even more clean and modern already, a lot of big projects around the city will be completed such as: sky train extension(you will go to concert at Impact arena much more easier), underground train extension, new massive park at oldtown district, clean canals with more green area, The messy wires around the city will go underground, EV bus 100% around the city.

@@inzakaew You mean Chiang mai right?

[@문수진-c9o]

EV bus 100% around the city? lol. The majority of buses here are still from 1970s, nothing can be done, because of financial issues with the country. Surely there will be some new malls and condos built, but the overall cleanliness, infrastructure, heavy pollution, traffic jam will deteriorate or at best the same for decades. Thailand is in decline in every aspect for YEARS due to political issues.
