Well, Welcome to Thailand! You probably won't get to hear "Oh Mcdonald had a farm" anymore, but the Thai national anthem will serve you at 8.00 am and at 6.00 pm daily. I'm a citizen of Thailand who had lived in the US for 24 years. Funny thing the first item I owned in the US is a Glock 23. One day I thought I had seen enough of the US so I returned home. Many of my American friends have moved to Thailand for their retirement, and most of them now reside in Pattaya and Phuket. They all said they wanted to have a peaceful life. Well I think they've got it.

Sawatdee krub Rojer 🙏 I would love some advice from someone like you. Just a quick background I'm from California, hold a Bachelor's Degree, in my late 30s, and am interested in teaching English in Thailand. I visited the Land of Smiles back in 2006 and I miss it. My plan is to stay long term or even permanently. I can't afford an elite visa, and marriage is not on the horizon. Do you suppose it's possible to arrive in BKK with just a few thousand and securing a cheap apartment (~$300) and surviving off $1k USD teaching English? I don't drink alcohol or party, but I know much of my spending would be cheap street foods and coffee. Is it commonplace to begin teaching English initially but then move onto other ventures like business or E-commerce later on? I just like the idea of long term because coming back what be daunting considering the rising costs. California in my opinion is becoming uninhabitable for everyday earners. Thank you 🙏

Your decision to include your lovely wife, your parents and your nephew really adds a nice personal touch. All as good as, but most better than the others out there in Thai blogger land. THIS one, however I believe is the clip I appreciate the most. It's hearing the truth spoken by a man who took that leap, and who was kind enough to sit and tell us his experiences, practically laying out a road map that leads us to the paradise that is Thailand. You Sir, are on to something bigger than all the rest, those tourist bloggers wo hit and run, and the other ones who have seemed to run out of any new material to share, who are now blogging from other Asian countries. From one Canucklehead to another... Thank You for what you do, and for the way you do it ! Cheers (Hope to make it to paradise to book a Chiang Mai tour in November)

Not actually sure what the 2nd passport has got to do with moving Thailand, unless I’m missing something. The US passport gives more benefits than other countries (e.g. business formation). Would have been better off using the money for a 20 year elite visa

@antcap66 Год назад

A visa does not over ride your governments passport. If your government wants you to return to your country he will force you to return by cancelling your passport. He is concerned the US government will cancel passports in the event of the ensuing destabilization and wars happening around the world. Holding different passports and aligning with more peaceful nations won't affect any restrictions to future movement out of the US....very smart move if you ask me but if you trust what your government is doing to you then go ahead and only hold one passport

@Rogue_Money Год назад

You're 100% right. St. Lucians can't even travel to Thailand without a visa like US citizens can. Now that he's there though, he can go to the US consulate and renounce his US citizenship and live in Thailand as a free St. Lucian! The US will not allow 'stateless' people to renounce.

@greeneryfinancial Год назад

There’s a lot of benefits, that’s why I got saint lucia citizenship as well, but in his case an elite visa would have been better. If you aren’t renouncing and plan to live in one country primarily like he seems to want to then it’s not really a must to pay for citizenship. But I mean it sounds like money isn’t a big issue for him, so if it makes him feel safer and more secure then I’m sure it was worth it…but he shoulda got an elite as well.

@neilcorby6259 Год назад

Probably no benefit. Sounds like he is a tin foil head conspiracy theorist. Definitely a republican.

@Hoxton66 Год назад

Basically what he as done, well he is in Thailand now, but what he saying is for any reasons the US bans its citizens from travelling anywhere or the USA loses relationships with any country like Thailand. He can still travel there because he as citizens ship with a Caribbean country too so he would use that passport he doesn't actually have thai passport.

ด้วยรักจากคนไทย ฉันดีใจที่พวกคุณชอบประเทศของเรา ฉันอยากฝากเตือนพวกคุณว่าจงใช้เงินอย่างมีสติ เพราะความสุขมันจะทำให้เงินในกระเป๋าหมดแบบไม่รู้ตัว ฉันเห็นชาวต่างชาติหลายคนประสบกับปัญหานี้เยอะมากรวมทั้งชาวต่างชาติข้างบ้านของฉัน ยินดีต้อนรับ

This guy is nuts. I’ve been in Thailand for 8 years and every time I go back to the states I’m amazed at how friendly everyone is. Possibly because I’m not in a right wing media vacuum, or possibly because I’m in California. I’m happy he’s happy to have paid over $100K for a passport from some island that will do nothing for him that a US passport won’t do.

@stevens1041 Год назад

Sometimes its hard to accept criticism. In USA, patriotism used to traditionally come from the right, but I see it from the left now too which is weird. You live in California for instance, but as someone that grew up there, it might have some nice things, but you're still paying a fortune for healthcare, and still part of the same sprawling empire that the rest of USA is a part of. Same government that saw fit to invade and bomb Iraq, Libya, or steal Syria's oil right now (not sure how that is even legal). For me personally, I want to live in a neutral country not involved in so many negative things.

@TheRDMagee Год назад

@@stevens1041 Are you an American? Unless you give up your citizenship it's still your country. I'm living in Thailand but that doesn't mean the Thai government is my government, the US government is. Sure the US government has done shitty things but we've also done good things. Like the guy in the video, he left the US because of the Keystone pipeline? The thinking like that is just goofy. And the thing is he's still an American, he can't run away from that.

@melregissings Год назад

A lot of what the right consider patriotism is actually old confederate ideas from the post civil war era, a bunch of sore losers. Patriotism in America has been hijacked by the maga movement. There are even politicians on the far right openly calling for secession, and they consider themselves patriots 😂. Things were much better and more balanced 30-40 years ago.

@@TheRDMagee Hi 👋 I apologize in advance as my question is off topic here. Just a quick background I'm from California, hold a Bachelor's Degree, in my late 30s, and am interested in teaching English in Thailand. I visited the Land of Smiles back in 2006 and I miss it. My plan is to stay long term or even permanently. I can't afford an elite visa, and marriage is not on the horizon. Do you suppose it's possible to arrive in BKK with just a few thousand and securing a cheap apartment (~$300) and surviving off $1k USD teaching English? I don't drink alcohol or party, but I know much of my spending would be cheap street foods and coffee. Is it commonplace to begin teaching English initially but then move onto other ventures like business or E-commerce later on? I just like the idea of long term because coming back what be daunting considering the rising costs. California in my opinion is becoming uninhabitable for everyday earners. I would love to hear your feedback since you have recent and extensive experience there. Thank you 🙏

@thaibulldog6800 Год назад

So he’s nuts because he has a different approach to life than you? He did mention that the US is divided and your first opinion of him proved his point. And he must be right wing if you disagree with him yeah?
