This latest vlog is a look at what it is really like to live in Thailand in 2021. It is basically my most frequently asked questions about life in Thailand and what it is like for an Expat living here. I am chasing dreams of being a full time RU-vidr here in 2021 and I often get asked the same questions, so today I share my thoughts on my decision to live here in Thailand. I have lived in Bangkok, Pattaya and now am in Chiang Mai.
Question times;
00:01 Intro
00:16 Why Thailand?
00:39 Where are you living?
02:13 Was it hard to adapt to living in Thailand?
03:13 Has it been easy to make friends and meet people?
03:55 How has it been with cases and restrictions?
06:13 Would you have still come if you knew it would be like this?
07:14 How is the cost of living?
08:02 What do you do every day?
09:26 How is the language barrier?
10:39 Would you do anything differently?
11:32 What is next?
12:23 Final words.

Takes time though. By the time I left Korea I was quite good, it is a long process. Learning small words and phrases is a great way to start, but becoming fluent in a language takes a long time.

Great channel. Really like your videos. Pretty sure your channel will grow big soon. Keep it up. Can't wait till I get vaccinated (scheduled for October) so I can travel. Been stuck in Isaan pretty much since covid began really, especially this year. Isaan has it's beauty, especially the people, but you do get bored of the place after a while, and start longing for some more fun down south, but I'm not going to complain, it could've been much worse. It's like you said, I'd rather be in Thailand than probably most other countries.

Appreciate your relaxed straight forward approach- not all the manic energy and hype of a lot of young males doing similar videos. I adore Thailand as a place to visit which i've done for 3 months but high heat and humidity is a deterrent for much of the year, and burning season Jan-Mar in CM!

Love the videos Adam! I have an online business and I'm looking to come to Asia, preferably Thailand in October/November. With the Visas, I've read you can get the 3 month visa twice, allowing for 9 months in total. After that time is up what are the options for staying longer? Cheers man!

@keisone 3 года назад

Currently there are 30 day tourist visas that you can renew every 30 days until countries open to be able to do border runs. But there is no end date on that, so it could change. If you want to stay here, there is always a way. Other options are student visa or Muay Thai visa, I have met people that stay on them too.
