Fortune Town in Bangkok Thailand 🇹🇭 Central Rama 9 Street Food indoors 

Fortune town is more popular with working people, Central Rama 9 across the street is more popular with tourists. min wage is about $10 a day for manual job, for regular job, I think, $15-$25. malls rent out space for pop-up shops and are regularly rotated, may be weekly, they usually advertise monthly.

If money is not an issue, I want to live in Bangkok. As a Malaysian who is a Chinese descendant, Thailand is my ideal place, where most of the people there are friendly, polite, tolerant, humble, not religious extreme and not racist. They accept people with open arms.

For me, I’m Thai. My basic salary is $4.4k (Senior Mgr in MNC with 20 years experience). I’m good with $1.5k/month for food, petrol miscellaneous things like groceries, facilities and to support family. I have no kid, no debt, car and house already paid off. For other expenses like car insurance, car maintenance health insurance, approx. $3k/year. I’m more than happy living in Thailand with this amount of earnings but just needed to control an unnecessary expenses (keep simplicity) and save enough for life after retirement at the age of 55 with $430k should be good enough to survive for entire life in Thailand.

I was just in Fortune town this past weekend, there are also a lot of shops that sell guitars, high end audio equipment, and quite a few record shops. People’s expenses in Thailand wildly varies, my wife and I live off of about 2,000 USD a month, but we rarely go out and have no house or car payments. My only main expense is health insurance, but that is about a tenth of what I was paying in Hawai’i, but I’m getting better health insurance here in Thailand.

That was an interesting vlog, with some food for thought. However, I think they'll be easy to answer. Here we go. Question/Answer 1. How much Thais make? Ans: It depends, but say Doctor can make around 300-600K in the hospital. For example, they make 700 to 1200 Baht per patient visit. A visit usually last 20-30 minutes. At the opposite end, laborers in construction make 400 Baht per day (wages in Thailand calculated as per day). Janitors can make more than construction laborers. Janitors make 15-20K Baht per month. General office workers with no experience at all will make 20K per month. Middle Management in businesses make around 60-80K Baht per month. High Level Managers (i.e. VP and Department Head) will make around 200-400K per month. While Top Level Management in big businesses make over 500K per month. Really well known companies pay up to 1M Baht per month for such high caliber people. While Middle Management can have fringe benefits like a position based car fully paid for in all respects, they are regular brands like Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Mazdas. Top Level Managers usually are offered BMW or Mercedes saloon size vehicles with a driver and again, all expenses paid. Teachers in Thai schools make 20-30K Baht per month, while teachers in international schools make 50-80K Baht per month. 2. How much is needed for retirement in Thailand? Ans: Here, the ownership of your own housing real estate makes a huge difference. If you do own (no payments needed to any lender) your own house/apartment, then around 25-30K Baht per month is comfortable. This will allow you to save for maintenance and repairs. However, if you don't have to worry about these expenses, then 15-20K is enough. I want to say that you will need to understand that only one room has A/C on at any one time. If you have more rooms with A/C on, someone will need to help pay for the electricity. 3. Where would you live if money isn't an issue? Ans: I am Thai. I would retire in an area of Nakornrachasima called "Kaoyai". This area is 2 hours northeast of Bangkok. The area is mountainous, but the mountains are not too high, and they are smooth mountains. This means they are not new mountains that are very tall like the Rocky Mountains. Kaoyai area has many farm land which usually raise livestock, grow corn, tomatoes, and other crops requiring cooler climate. In this area, the temperature is usually around 25-29 degrees celcius in the daytime in the rainy season (May-Oct) and 15-26 degrees celcius in the daytime in the winter (Dec-Feb). There are few housing projects there, but what is there is luxurious to ultra-luxurious and is reflected in the price (around 15-50M Baht per house). However, as a Thai citizen, I can buy land if I can find it and develop as a house. Besides farms, luxurious residences, and land, there are only resorts of different types. None of the resorts however are low-level type. I would retire in Kaoyai so I can be comfortable and also visit my children, who will all be in Bangkok, unless they go abroad. I also would choose to stay in Thailand because Bangkok is an international flights hub that I like due to many many low fairs to countries in East and S. E. Asia. I can go to Japan easily, a place I love to visit repetitively when I want to experience a white winter with my family. 4. Decorated mall based food stalls which occupy the common grounds of the shopping complex are usually set up on the weekend. I've been walking in malls in Thailand for the past 30 years and I've never seen a catalogue specifically stating when these food fairs will be set up. The best I've seen are signs put up in and around the mall. 5. What does it cost to raise up a child where you live? Ans: My answer will concentrate on the major cost for this, that is education. It depends on the kind of school you want your child to attend. For Thai schools, they cost 15-20K Baht per semester in a two-semester year. However, these schools concentrate on learning everything in Thai. There is very little English. These days they offer once-a-week Chinese courses as well for some schools. For international schools, English is the main medium of instruction, with Chinese as the second language requirement. International schools cost around 140-800K Baht per year for a two-semester year. 5. Would you consider changing career during your mid-life years? Ans: For me no. However, there's a good reason for this. Changing career in the middle of you working life or when you're already looking forward to retirement is not a good idea. It is very risky with the uprooting an already setup occupational regime. Your age, being over 40 makes it an unwise choice, unless you are guaranteed a stable position. Also, making a new business will require dipping into your current assets, to make things worse. So unless lady luck seems to be pushing me in to a business, I would stay away from a money hungry project. 6. Have you been to Central Rama IX? Ans: I have been to Central Rama IX. However, I usually only go there when I'm looking for toys or attire for my daughter. OK, I just wanted to mention something about the Thai BBQ Pork (or "Moo Ping") you guys seem to really love. We have 3 kinds of Thai BBQ pork skewers, or "Moo Ping" in Thailand. There's the lean pork one, fatty meat pork one, lean meat pork one, lean mean alternating with fat slabs one, and the fatty one, the one you guys enjoy very much. Actually I like the fatty one too. These are of the kind that can be bought in bulk (ready-made skewers) at Makro Cash 'n Carry, just like Costco in the US. I feel I've been super comprehensive on this reply to the questions you posed in this vlog. I hope my answers at least amused you. Cheers

The pandan drink was called ‘nam woon bai thoey,’ basically translating as ‘water(nam) jelly(woon) pandan (bai thoey)’. To ask what is the most delicious, you can say ‘Arai Aroi tee soot’, translating to ‘Arai(what) aroi(delicious) tee soot(the most). Love all your videos and always looking out for the next one!

My wife and I have a monthly budget of $4k in Bangkok. So far, we have barely spent over $3k.

Hi Caroline and Anthony! I heard that minimum wage in Bangkok is around $12 USD per day. I plan to retire in Thailand in a few years and I gave myself a budget of $3K USD per month or 102K Baht. I can comfortably live off $2K USD but I gave myself a cushion of $1K USD for unexpected expenses or last minute travel. When I turn 62 yo, I can collect social security benefits which will nearly double my budget but that is overkill! I will save the extra money to later build my dream house on the beach somewhere near Hua Hin or Cha Am or Prachuap Kiri Khan.

minimum wage 400 baht per day. Doctor in Thailand makes about 60,000 baht per month (less than $2k usd per month). Average salary in Thailand is 30,000 baht (less than a $1000 usd). Less than 10% of Thai make over 100,000 baht per month. If you have $5000 usd per month, you would live like a King in Thailand. Even $2,000 or 3,000 usd would be enough to live in Thailand comfortably. If you have a house and car paid off in Thailand, $2,000 or $3,000 would be a comfortable living with saving for traveling as well.

You are important, and what you do IS greatly appreciated, please never think otherwise

As a thai living alone abroad, watching you two just roaming around where i‘m most comfortable has been such a big help to ease my homesickness somehow. Thank you for that😁

If we talk about the overall cost of living, I see that someone has answered you. But let me go into a little more detail. The income depends on the job you do. In Thailand, doctors, lawyers, and engineers are the highest-paying jobs on average. Civil servants earn less but have the best welfare. And the starting salary also depends on the qualification. And getting a job depends on the school you graduated from. But it is an unspoken standard. It has been ingrained in values for a long time. It is up to the person you ask to accept it or not. Which leads to your next question about the cost if you have children. The cost of raising children is not as expensive as the price you have to pay for the education system for your children. If you are a Thai citizen, you have the right to send your children to study for free until they finish high school or grade 12. But it is a government school and you cannot choose the school. If you want to choose a famous school or want your child to study in an international school. As far as I know, international schools cost an average of one million baht per year. Although this value may have changed in this era, it definitely still exists.

Yummy yummy all the time..l love the way you describe food…make me hungry 😅

Hi Anthony and Caroline...have been following your video since the beginning..me and my wife have always love your video and have watch all of them whenever you upload.. We really love your video style, which is very real/ genuine & sincere....❤... Was always thinking do you both have kids , since you only mentioned about Bruno ( your dog) most of the time . Only after this video. .then we know that you both ,just like me and my wife ..we don't have kids too ..and too we leave it to Faith. Keep up your good work....all the best to you & your wife ... (From - Singapore)

I think 2-3k USD(about 70-100k THB) is enough to live super comfortably in BKK. Also include monthly payment for a car/public transportation and house/apartment. If you already own a residence, maybe 50k is enough for a living. If you live like local people, 30-40k still can make you live in good condition as well.

Every time you guys uploaded RU-vid. Can’t help I always clicked. 😂 I’m your fan here. Really like what you guys doing and try new things in Thai culture. ❤

The min wage is about 11-15$ a day I have seen mostly shop recruit their staffs around 12-15k baht a month. That’s why everything is so cheap. Any tip would make their lives easier but not necessarily. For me as thai ppl, I would need around 1500$ a month today for basic needs. The goal is around 10k$ a month in 30yr 🎉

Do not ever give up. I really enjoy your content very much ^^

I'm thai live in US next month I'm going to my home hope to see you guys there 😅

Hi I from Thailand but I live in the uk. Thailand pay for work are between 300-400 Bath per day!

I always think of Thailand as my second home; live in Australia and go back every year, but retiring there is looking more and more appealing as I get older. It would have to be somewhere by the sea though.

I've have not been there for almost 2 years. It looks so modern now. They even have animals. That's kinda strange. The new food court is insane. It has become totally a new place.

Welcome to the world of Moo Ping. 🤪 I'm such a huge fan of this street food, that I have to stop myself from buying every time I walk by it. 🤣If you haven't tried the grilled pork rice burger in 7 Eleven, I would highly recommend. Taste is very similar to moo ping.

โครงสร้างประเทศไทยพื้นฐานมันดี แม้จะพัฒนาช้า ก็ทันโลกสมัยใหม่ อนาคตยังไงก็ทันสมัยน่าอยู่ คนไทยทุกวันนี้ก็นอนทับสมบัติมหาศาลอยู่

Congratz on 10k!

You should put a little bit of red chili vinegar on the kamoo rice. It will taste much better.

The average salary of a Thai person in Bangkok is 800-1000 USD. but we have accommodation in the city center starting at 100 USD. that has air conditioning and an en-suite bathroom. Room size is 30 sq m, but may not be attached. The Skytrain does not have a fitness or swimming pool. It is truly a Thai community accommodation. You can easily pay less than 1,000 USD in Bangkok. But it may not be convenient.

Thanks so much, l live in Texas after l watch yours videos and l will go to Thailand soon ❤

Minimum wage in Australia is $24 or about $16 USD an hour. However average is $80k/year or about $55k USD a year. I’m thinking $5k a month would be an extravagant retirement in Thailand. I’d probably choose Krabi for retirement. Still got about 70 provinces to check out between now and then though 🤔

Pan Dan is call” bai toi “ in thai Jod fair is just behind Central rama9 you can use exit at the first floor of Central

EC PC lemon squeezy- for us it is a no brainer and this is not because we have been to the south east Asia regions more than any other continents around the world. The fact is that Thailand is an awesome combination of many aspects that can keep one happy with less stress in climbing up social status so just to reach a good quality of living. One life time is to short, unfortunately all of us ain’t a genius born or raised business clever to make enough income or become successful from a young age. Most of all we wanted to grow old slowly with mentally intact and less to regret about. We truly understood why you both also moved to Thailand and it is not only because of cheaper costs of living. For us in this sense = happiness levels count is the real worthwhile reason and we experienced this ways more in the Thai way of life. A happy go lucky and learn to let go of something you can’t change or is not within your control in the Thai culture helps keep our mind at peace. The competitiveness, being judgmental and focused only on oneself selfishness in today world seems to happen less in Thailand within their society. We feel the multi verse where true natural beauty met with adequate accessibility in infrastructure from place to place isn’t an issue when visiting Thailand. Furthermore- diversity between old and new where east meets west on many occasions = the Thai has got it so right into perfect harmonious and this is what making Thailand such an interesting country to explore. A rare balance that we don’t often see in other mainstream rich and poor countries in differences. We lives in Tricities, Washington 3months a year and let’s say the Columbia river never flows in anything exciting ever. For 5 months of the year - We are living in a country that have rich streets and poor streets being divided in treatments, never mind that differences between a good town or bad town because of the local council authority in running. For forty five years in the Uk and we can feel this country going year by year has certainly lost its integrity in making their citizens become better together as a country. Particularly on immigration issues going on right now. As for the rest of the four months - we travel with work, mostly between Poland, China, or Australia. So we are quite accustomed to some of the east Asia and Southeast Asian ways of life and etiquette. We can definitely see that many old traditions in Thailand existing coherently well with the new trends that keep coming in with less commentary commotion on how things should be, which also isn’t as a strong subject matter in Thailand and compromising point can be met if need be. Local Thai communities are awesome even though we heard that the Thai political together with their party system is rather unstable and there is a lot of corruption going on from within. However, the basic human rights and freedoms values are still readily more reasonable. Muslim in Thailand have a shop setup right next to the pork store is a common sight in many Thai markets. We also love the larger than life characters of third Agendas spirits acceptances within in the Thai culture. Sex, looks or race doesn’t define who you are and focus solely on the good actions of a person is highly valued. In Thailand This is a great momentum currently going on amongst the new and older generations. Let’s say-It’s normal to have a male gay teacher, government officials, doctors, nurses wearing fully women clothing in school or working establishment even if they didn’t yet get the sex change surgery. We don’t even see this as normal in the new modern cities around populated China. When traveling through the Southeast Asia mainland for holiday through Vietnam, Lao, Cambodia, Myanmar visitors like us have been strongly advised to avoid saying anything that criticizes their local government in a bad way. When going across to Malaysia or Singapore we don’t feel the authenticity characteristic of mesmerizing charisma whether in the charms of tradition, infrastructures, or the people. The alcohol are pretty expensive because of religious beliefs too in term of leisure life balance. Till date we still don’t get this concept and how the two connected. If you don’t drink alcohol it doesn’t really matter if it’s in front of you or not, so how come alcohol is linked to religion in pricing. Kuwait is also similar to Malaysia in alcohol ridiculous rip off pricing but they are even more expensive and prohibited unless through western chain hotels licensing agreements. Though we pay high respect that both Singapore and Malaysia is leading the economic development in the Southeast Asia, particularly their ability in semiconductor and microchip high investment that is actually better than many European countries. Therefore, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia may be a place more suitable for people with high achieving goals plan in life around Asia region. As for us, we have no capability and no more successful drive at the age of 54. We are only looking for simple happiness with strong stability in fitting with our budget that doesn’t restrict what we can spend on or stress us out just because we are eating out on a daily basis. A place that can provide a good healthcare for when we are older and a place full of arrays in activities to keep us going. Happiness with less stress in a good life balance of living within our means undoubtedly is not in the western world = So we see Thailand as perfect place to be in. We do like Philippine and Indonesia particularly in Rachar ampat for scuba diving and the beaches. However, beach life ambience and activities available in these two countries are not thing in comparison to what is on services in Thailand. The best for us is the food culture in Thailand that just keeps giving your tummy a good dream. We are also looking forward to get a home in Thailand within the next five years around khanjanaburi province or Khao yai. BKK is lively but the toxic pm density is something we are not looking forward to get along with. Congratulations to you both on reaching 10k 👍 ❤😊

You should pin all the questions you ask during your videos in the comment section! It will engage the community/see different perspectives.

there are massage shops only cost 180.- baht per hour at the basement floor

I've been to many countries and I still choose Thailand because: 1. Buddhism influence. 2. Convenience 3. Food

in thailand typical restaurant worker would earn anywhere from 350-400 thb or roughly 10-11 usd. if one were to eat at a typical local street stall, it would cost roughly 45-65 thb a dish ot roughly 1.2-1.8 usd the dish would cost roughly 12% of the daily income. one portion of a typical noodle bowl in thailand would fill you up somewhat like a slice of nyc 1.99 usd pizza. lets make it 2.5 usd including everything. now that's 2.5 usd per 180-220 usd restaurant workers' daily earning which makes it 1.38% for roughly the same amount of food. it's expensive to be poor in thailand.

I used to work near Fortune and bought almost all my PC and electronics there, so it’s nostalgic to see it! Sushina there is a bang! It’s an affordable sushi place that was an internet craze with a very long line a few years ago. Worth visiting for their Volcano Donburi. 😋 FYI: Fortune is the last IT mall in Bangkok. There used to be a trinity of IT malls: Pantip, Fortune, and Tawanna. But most of them were dead and have changed into something else while Fortune still survive. For the salary: the official minimum salary in Thailand is 15,000 THB per month, but not many workers actually reach that. For office workers, I think the average is around 20-30k. 50k and above is considered a very high income, usually for senior or manager roles. Doctors and executives could earn around 100k-200k++.

ข้าวเหนียวหมูปิ้ง หรือปีกไก่ย่าง ควรมีน้ำจิ้มมะขามกับข้าวเหนียวครับ จะอร่อยเพิ่ม

Hi guys, for the most part, Thai people who have freshly graduated from university make between 15,000 and 40,000 Thai baht per month. For doctors, I believe they make above 150,000 Thai baht per month. As I’m Thai and currently living in the States, I think $5,000 is a decent amount to live off of in retirement.

i worked 20 years as a journalist. i quit when journalism turned to crap in this current world. now i'm a struggling screenwriter and RU-vid musician. and i'm 53. go fer it! (but be prepared to be penniless - and possibly homeless - for a while!)

Mooping stall name is EATAHOLIC

For me, a single person that is not into bars, bars girls, smoking, drinking, etc. my monthly budget is between $2,000 to $5,000 usd is good enough to have a good comfortable living. I enjoy eating out once in a while but for some reason, I always feel fat especially the belly when I eat out. Also, I like traveling and exploring locally or just hanging out with friends but I enjoy having me time just to relax.

You guys asked a lot of questions in this video and don’t know where to begin. I do know Thai minimum wages is about 300 baht per day, and many do take on second jobs or have side hustle. To live in BKK comfortably for two is about $2000 for us, and we use our return from our investment to pay our rent, so basically our rent is FREE! You can invest in dividends stock and receive income on regular basis. Never buy property in foreign land, rent is cheap in BKK, if your circumstances change, just pick up and leave instead of struck with a property that you can’t sell. I will leave other questions to others viewers.

Working in a office environment feels like aging 30 years.

Love your channel dont give up

You guys make me feel hungry

10000 USD 5000 USD per month is not a realistic number for Thais, i spend around only 900 USD per month for 2 persons // To answer the question of HOW much would be enough : My answer if i had 2000USD per month i'm happy more than happy even. and oh Thai minimum wage is 328 - 363 baht per day anyways love the video

1 K for local who doesn't has any burdens. We have social insurance for government hospitals free of charge

กดไลท์ไว้ก่อนเดี๋ยวมาดูทีหลังนะครับ❤

Belinee is not that cheap phung noi is what i call cheap (cheaper than belinee like 10-20 baht )

Expenisive to have kids, I have two that won't leave and sponges off me, 555 I love my kids. Expensive to have kids, college etc...

In Thailand if you work yoh need to work in the grey area. If you are honest and stay with the law you'll be poor.😂

😊😊😊

Raising kid roughly have the same basic cost. Diapers baby food etc etc. Which is like feeding another person not too expensive. What makes it different in each family is Their education and the luxury stuff. Some small numbers of family raise their kid so good they don't cry for expensive stuff. And they know reason. But majority of Thai kids are quite materialistic nowadays. our education systems are broken and teach the kids to be very competitive and very comparison toward others that are better. That's why the rich choose school that are private and have much better socials and education level.

You guys like to ask questions that cannot be answered in a short way and it is not suitable for Thai people who do not like to read long texts even in Thai, forget about writing. I used to work as an office worker for 22 years and then one day I quit because I no longer had the passion to continue. It's not as boring as you think because it's a newspaper, every day there's different news. I learned how to be an employee, how to work with many people at many levels. There is no need to take care of taxes or manage many things except for our own. I have a fixed income, although it is not much, but it makes me happy to some extent, because people do not live for money. Just like God told us about the birds in the Bible (Matthew 6:26 & Matthew 16:19, Ecclesiastes 2:11).

Anthony, your budget of $5K USD or 170K Baht per month is way too much!! It would be fine if you were going clubbing every night and drinking but I think you’re a bit more subdued. $5K in Thailand is like $10K in the USA with no mortgage payments; it’s overkill!!

For Thai with $0 payment no car single 1k should be comfortable in Bangkok but lot of people don’t have 1k My mother get retirement money only17,000 bath a month around 600 bath a days but she is doing find no more party but she has a like state health insurance you can only get if you retired from government job this is big help for the older. How much you need is depend on lifestyle. My aunt need 2000 bath a day course she shop for unnecessary a lot but she call just a little.👌

❤

in my opinion min. about 12k-20k THB per month aver. about 30k-50k THB per month high about 70K+ THB per month anyway It depend on which company we're working with, even in the same job, there are also a very huge gap. I'm working in architectural field with 8 years exp and got about 40k+ THB per month. while in the very same job as me, It can go between 20k-100k. hope this help!

🙏👍🫰❤️❤️❤️

The minimum wage is around 400 bht/day. Salaries of new graduates range from 15,000 bht- 30,000 bht/mth, but very few outstandings might get up to 50-60k (hired by global companies). New doctors could earn 60k-100k/mth but experienced specialists could make more than a million bht/mth. If you have passive income $5,000/mth/couple, you could have a decent lifestyle. I’d say a B+ level. Of course if you want to live like an A level in Bangkok such as always eat in nice restaurants or hotels, you might multiply by 3-4.

Man, regarding ‘whether people want to watch our videos’ you have no idea. When I see your new video in my feed in the morning, before work for example, I will wait watching it until my favorite moment, either during lunch WFH or after work (I watch it on TV). You guys are my favorite Thailand YT channel by far. I’m grateful for the effort you put in your videos. Fighting!!

อาหารไทยจะมีส่วนผสมสมุนไพรซึ่งดีต่อสุขภาพ❤

you spend too much. I retired in Thailand on 500 dollars a month and I live like a king.

Would love to retire in Thailand. My main concern is banking online and how expats would be able to get access to their accounts when in Thailand when our banks requires 2 authentication. Heard some horror stories about expats being cutoff from their financial institutions while in Thailand and have to fly back to prove their identities.

I really enjoy watching your channel and you have great questions for me to ponder. It made me think about what my life has been like and lately I have been on autopilot with work...pretty boring. I have over and over watched videos about travels to Thailand, this has been one of my number 1 on the bucket list and hope someday I will get there, whether it be for 2 weeks, a month or 3 months, I'm ready. I would love to go to the places you both have visited.

Oh rich was super rich green color , this is the oldest, and the cheapest Thailand. Super rich, orange color is new competitor.

That pizza you see in Fortune Town is pretty cheap at 79 baht a slice and comes with a free can of Pepsi. The flavor of the pizza is pretty good. 😊🍕🌮

ชอบสองท่านนี้ น่ารักเสมอ คุณรักประเทศไทย โดยแท้จริง 👍♥️♥️

Tony and I always pass Fortune Town but never went in food looks amazing gotta try next time 😊

Anthony, in the last video you mentioned that your body overheats easily. same happens to me, and I've lived in this kind of weather all my life! there's an isotonic drink here called "100 Plus", which is like Pocari Sweat, which is really good for cooling down. i'm sure it's also available in Thailand. i always go for 100 Plus Activ, which has no gas, because of my gastritis.

When my dad got sick, it made me realize that i will need more.(or at least get a better insurance right now)

Fortune town is cheaper than MBK centre.

This is interesting, $5k per month is a lot we'd say!

สวัสดีครับ

So nice 🎉

Thailand, the land of RU-vid, more than ten thousand people are rich because of RU-vid.👌Some people do it as a side hustle.

usd 3000 /m

Well done and Congratulations on the 10 000 mark, 🎉 yippee!!! Worth celebrating, for sure ❤🎉🍾, love and greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

I understand how you feel. My twin daughters have their own channel relating to Roblox games and other entertaining. They just made it as their hobby started a few years ago but now they are getting older becoming teenagers. Their interest in YT is not much like before (even their subscribers just reached 900k). Good luck and go for it.

Changed my career 2y ago while I was 40 plus. Take a risk and never look back.

I'm Thai and I love watching you two walking around and exploring those areas. Eventhough I live in Bangkok but I still havent been to many places in your videos. So thanks to you guys for making so much effort. And I love that in each video, you bring up some interesting topics to discuss. One topic I would like to know is health insurance of foreigners. I know that cost of medical expenses in Thailand is cheaper than in the US. But is it for general health issues? I feel like if you have cancer, the treatment would cause a fortune here, especially in private hospital. Is it still cheaper or better off for foreigners to retire and possibly need lifesaving treatment?

ฉันเชื่อ​ว่า​คนไทย​หลายคนอยากใช้ชีวิต​ที่​มีความสุข​แบบคุณ​ทั้งสอง​คน​ อยากไปก็ไป​ หิวก็ไปหาของอร่อยๆกิน​ อยู่​ด้วยกัน​แบบชีวิต​คู่กับสัตว์​เลี้ยง​สักตัว​ ทำงานที่ไหนก็ได้ออนไลน์​มีเงินใช้ที่สมดุล​กับรายจ่าย​ ประเทศ​ไทย​หรือกรุงเทพ​อาจไม่ใช่ตัวเลือก​ที่​ดี​ที่สุด​ของ​ใครหลายคน​ แต่ประเทศ​ไทย​มีสิ่งดีๆรอให้สำรวจอยู่​มากมาย​ เบื่อกับอากาศกับการจราจร​ก็สามารถ​เช่ารถขับออกไปเที่ยวต่างจังหวัด​ ชมภูเขาทะเลและธรรมชาติ​ได้ตลอด​

ขอให้มีความสุขมากๆนะครับ❤❤

In the eyes of the locals, Fortune Town is the location to buy technical equipment, including digital cameras, laptops, computer components, and a wide range of other devices. In addition, there are numerous stores selling phones, gaming consoles, software, high-end audio hardware, as well as pirated CDs and DVDs within the mall.

Bangna areas like Paradise Park, Season Square, Train Night Market, and Mega Bangna are also good to explore.

Minimum wages in MN is $10.59/hr. But remember, those low income individuals and families also get assistance. If money wasn't an issue, I would live in Thailand. Of course 😊

Retail stores in Thailand indicate the density of the city. If you are a small village far from the city, the population may not be 100-200 people. The place to exchange goods is small shops and small markets. But when the village starts to expand to a population of more than 500 people, the first thing that will follow is convenience stores such as 7-11, mini bigc, cj store, lotus express. But when the population starts to move to 1,000 people, modern trade and wholesale department stores will follow, such as Lotus, BigC, Makro, Go wholesale. But when the population moves to the city level, there may be a population in that area of about 5,000-10,000 people. Large department stores will come to invest. It shows the potential of the middle class and entrepreneurs are starting to increase. The department store level will start to be more serious, such as Central, The Mall, BigC and Lotus flagship branches will appear to increase the options to create a lifestyle. It is a gathering place for communities of all ages. You will start to have famous restaurants. You will start to have many counter bands and international band products to buy. But when your city moves to the population level 100,000-500,000 people or more. What follows is that luxury malls will start to invest to increase the High Society Life Style even more. And it will not be just one mall. They will build it as a shopping mall area like what you see in Bangkok in Sukhumvit, Ratchaprasong. The creation of a mall is not to demolish the old ones, but to open new ones to enhance the original. And luxury malls are not for Thai people, but they are also for shopping tourists. And the new trend is to create mixed-use. It will be like a complex city consisting of condos, department stores, community areas, such as night markets, public parks, and office buildings. What you see here is not the highest level of creating a life style because the highest level it should be is an entertainment complex city, which will consist of casinos, 5-star luxury hotels, parks, large theme parks like Disneyland, sports stadiums, racetracks, art galleries, luxury department stores competing against each other, and many more. There is no entertainment complex city in Thailand right now, but it is possible that it may happen in the next 2-3 years. It will be created as a small city surrounded by what we have now, as you can see and experience. 😂😂😂

Thailand has wide inequality gap problem just like in the USA. The rich keep getting richer. The poor are really poor. But there's still many opportunities in Thailand. My grand parents immigrated from China. They had nothing but worn out clothes, no money at all. But now most in our family are successful. If you work hard, live below your mean, keep finding a way, you will find something that works. My dad was doing some dormitory business as a side job. It's like apartment units but no kitchen. The rent is very low, only 3500 bahts a month but the rooms are big. We have over 200 units and they're paid off. After dad passed away, my mom still lives pretty well off that income. Basically the way to get rich in Thailand is only from finding some profitable businesses or investing in real estate (or becoming politician 😂). But if you work in a professional field and earn 60k, that's still aplenty because most Thai people can live under 15k a month. Still we have enough to save and invest in something to grow our portfolio. But if you earn 20k you still can save money if you live frugally but your options will be less so you probably need to find a side job. When I'm retired I'll move to Chiang Rai. The weather is kind of cooler. The landscape is so beautiful. The cost of living is really cheap. I would have a garden that I can grow vegetables. It's such a beautiful place! You guys should visit it some day :D How much money do I need to retire in Chiang Rai? I think 15K is enough but I will need around 30-50k more per month for the travel fund (locally and internationally).
