For anyone deterred by his 230k income...I used to live comfortably in Bangkok for $30 - $45 per day. You can get a condo w/ gym, pool, and security for like $500/mo. Also agree about safety overall. I used to cut through dark alleyways alone at 3 am and all kinds of things living in the city and have never experienced any sort of danger. I don't know anyone else who ever has either. When asked where the most dangerous place I've ever traveled to is, I always say Los Angeles or other American cities. lol

I AM DOWN FOR THAT!! I just finished watching another video on this channel talking about how NYC has surpassed San Francisco rent wise as the most expensive city! Rent in both places is crazy!! Most people are not making that much in their job(s) either as a couple and/or independently!! It is ALL about LIVING and NOT just surviving as we are doing out here!! One only needs about $2000+ to live in places like the Philippines or Thailand. Having $230K would definitely work! Prayerfully I will be retiring in Bangkok soon!! I have not seen ONE person or family move back to the SF Bay Area after leaving anywhere for a lower cost of living because they "missed it".....and I am willing to bet I never will either...!!!

As a Thai native born in 1952 and educated in both Australia and the US altogether for 7 years, I find it interesting to watch Bangkok grow over the years. When the skytrain project (BTS) was proposed 30+ years ago, Thai and expat sceptics termed it "pie in the sky" as it was not undertaken by the government but was built on the concept BOT (Built, Operate, Transfer) concession, ie, securing the rights to operate the skytrain for 30 years before all the assets given back to BMA (Bangkok city govt). However, the concessionaire proved the doubters wrong. It was and still is popular enough to make the project break even in less than 5 years and the rest of the remaining years are pure profit. That was the first line and later the national government saw the benefits of electric trains in Bangkok but the cost was/is prohibitive for the private sector to build on its own. So the govt built the civil infrastructure and when completed gives out tender for private sector to bid/run the system by securing train and signalling system themselves. Thus, Bangkok is now one of the better city to live in due to convenient electric trains (several lines) that run in central Bangkok and surrounding areas.

Got excited and move and realized all the small details after moving there and the headache he underwent. Also, this guy has an income of $230K in Thailand you can live luxuriously. Heck even here in San Francisco with that money you can live great. In short - he’s living the 1% life in Thailand. I’m sure if you’re making $10M here in San Francisco you can easily make the same video even better claiming SF to be amazing. Money will make any place look good and appealing because you can buy service and clear up your time to enjoy your life.

In next ten year Thailand might be a hub of high speed train and all transportation. You might travel to China Laos Myanmar Vietnam Malaysia Singapore like in European. By plane 6hrs to Japan and Korea, 4hrs to India, 3hrs to Indonesia and Philippines. Moreover, Thailand is in world top10 high speed internet too.

The production on your video is awesome. But what i really wanted to get at is your perspective. As a fellow American who loves living in Thailand I appreciated it when you said its nice to learn the culture and language, the Thais really seem to admire that. It’s very true. Unfortunately many ex pats that move here do not seem to hold to same values but rather complain about things and not adapt. Regardless love you vid and your view points. Can I ask how you got into web development and would you suggest any avenues to travel for someone curious in the field? Thanks in advance

@@DR-ex7yu if you're half Thai you're better off getting a passport here and getting a job as a citizen so companies don't have to pay for work permits. There was heaps of work for Thais after covid. Couldn't get staff as it was competitive as. But now most companies are putting freezes on hiring because the world economy is in the beginning of a depression. Being a look khroung they'll also expect you to be fluent in Thai and treat you like a local with a local salary. If you could get a job at an American company (as they really want fluent English speakers, not the Thai 'oh a toiec score of 500 is good enough' English level) that would be the way to go. Higher salary than other companies. Want English speakers. And office type work. If you can sell your skills and overseas experience you might be able to get a salary of around 50k a month starting. Outside of Bangkok that is easy to live on as a single person, especially if you improve your skills and language here and just keep progressing positions quickly (a lot of large companies only hire women and they all want to get married and have kids, not careers. So it's not difficult to progress here). But you'd have to be here to get the job first, so you'd need to do a 3-4 month job search/holiday. But if you did that I'd organize the dual citizenship first.

I try to convince my husband to retire in thailand when we get old. I bought a house for us and here he's married a thai woman and never been to thailand. Never wanted to. I feel like he's missing out. I can't blame him either a person who doesn't like traveling. The trip is quite long.

He lives in Bangkok, which is significantly different from much of the rest of Thailand and has pretty much imported his habits, expectations and lifestyle to Bangkok. Not exactly immersing himself in the culture.

He's immersing himself in the culture of Bangkok. Lots of large cities are different than the rest of the country they're in. For instance, most people in NYC live in apartments or attached homes and walk or take public transportation. That is opposite of most people in the U.S. who are car dependent, live in areas with unreliable transportation, rarely walk anywhere, and live in suburbs and exurbs.

For $2,700 in rent and $1,600 on food each month, he could have just moved to NYC. My rent in midtown Manhattan is $700 less and I pay less to eat out.. in New York!! Laundry done for me for $80 a month.

The price is for both him and his fiancé. His fiancé is Filipino so probably she cannot work in Thailand. Even if she does, their average salary is so low that can’t even afford their one fancy dinner…

@Kudos2Kawaii Год назад
@@margotk538 you don’t pay double in rent just because there’s 2 people living it in. And it doesn’t cost $2k for food each month even for a family on New York. The fact there it’s 2 people doesn’t change the fact that they’re paying more money then it takes to live in New York, or any other HCOL city.

@@Kudos2Kawaii I agree. I am just saying that in the video he mentioned this expenses are for two people, implying that he supports his fiancé’s expenses too. It’s a high amount for sure as local Thai food is really cheap. I assume they frequent the high end restaurants in Bangkok and that can be pricey if they go on a regular basis.

These prices are insane for Thailand. He is getting scammed. $1600 for food, if he is eating at Thai shops or restaurants, that can't be! $2700 on rent, nope that's way too much. One thing I loved about living in Asia is how affordable things are in comparison to the states and I currently live in an expensive state and Dont pay near as much for housing and eating out.

Are these expenses in US dollars or Thai baht? Because some of his living expenses doesn’t make sense such as $2700 for rent and $1600 for eating out. Thailand is a great and inexpensive place to live, so if he’s paying that much, he’s being taken advantage of because they know he’s an expat.

The rent is normal for high-end service apartment in top locations. Yeah, I had my doubts before until getting to know a friend who was paying that amount for his place in Bangkok. As for the dinning out expense, I suspect they go to Michelin 2 or 3 star restaurants and high-so bars very often. The imported wines and champagnes are insanely expensive in Thailand.

I've lived in Bangkok for 20+ years and joined Thailand Elite back when a Life Time Visa (for 1 Million Thai Baht) was the ONLY option. And NO, you do not need to retain an Immigration lawyer (or any lawyer for that matter) if you want to explore Lone Term living options here. Thai Embassies & Consulates worldwide can answer your questions about visas, while you are still in your home country. While Thai Immigration can help you to extend your stay or advise Long Term Visa options which best suit your needs, while you are here in Thailand.
