Thailand Comments Answered - Where is the best coffee in Thailand? 

Hi, I’m a recent subscriber , love your Chanel , those are great tips , in regards to your tips on renting a scooter , if I could offer another one to your viewers ,.. if you rent a scooter you can always ask if they’ll take the security deposit in your home countries currency , for example … last winter while in Phuket I rented a scooter for two months, the security deposit was 5000 baht , they allowed me to leave $150 usd instead ( that way , when you turn the scooter back in on the day your returning home you save yourself a trip to the money exchange booth and actually save a little money that you would lose in the process )

I think we all know why relatively healthy people are suddenly getting blood clots lately. I enjoy your content. Be well.

Near death experience is a good reminder the your time on earth has an expiration date. Make the most of life while you still can.

Well if you ever watched Dr John Campbell, what you had regarding your blood clot could be connected to having the vaccination, for you know what a few years ago, assuming you had taken it? Keep healthy lots of vitamin D, in Thailand that shouldn’t be a problem and avoid junk food, having a strong immune system is the key! Your giving good info for newbie’s and have a calm straight forward approach, good luck with your channel 👍

Nice bike Suzuki V Strom! I had a KLR 650, loved it!

Thanks Pete! Watched the entire vlog. Nice coffee too.😊

These are great , so much info, you are inspiring me

Just subscribed mate I’m in Sydney 55 Years Old Hoping to make the move to Cambodia or possibly Philippines Hoping you could mention Health insurance in one of your vid’s Have you kept your Aussie one or Annual travel one If you get ill and it was serious would your return to Oz for treatment Or stay where you are and pay privately? All the best and Good Luck on your move

If it’s a click you like, the 160 version is bigger with bigger (wider) tyres for stability.

Enjoying your videos mate, I’m 58 from Melbourne, following your story and advice. Whereabouts in Australia did you live? Haven’t heard you mention that yet.

Would be good to know more about your background, personal circumstances and why you decided to retire early in Thailand.

Yeah those iced coffees are delicious. Another tip, if you can find it, is to try out something called Orion. It's sort of very strong coffee which locals make themselves. Most tourists don't know about this. But those are delicious as well and very cheap since mostly local people buy it.

Thanks for answering my question!

Loving the simple life you have. Great lifestyle. If you don't drink then you can live so cheaply in Thailand. Like yourself I'm not a drinker and I eat local Thai food. Can live on a very good budget. Decent room and swimming pool. Nice 😁🙏

Hi, enjoying your content. Just wondering about what you have done about Health insurance, costs, etc. Cheers Michael

Thanks great update.

To get a Thai bank account take you lease papers and rent slips to the thai bank .Thats what I did....

👍

You will need to go to either a public or private hospital for your check up and full bloods. You are most probably aware you are only 2 doors away from the Rajavej hospital. Remember to take your passport with you.

Could you do a video on what your monthly budget is and costs that you didn’t factor in. Do you have Thai Health Insurance and how much do the Visa Agents charge to complete your Retirement Visa

Great info, thank you.

Good idea I am on aspirin blood thinners my red cells kept going sky high so I had to have blood taken out every 7 months I stopped drinking coffee and my white cells and red cells are actually normal now I go every 3 months I had the same problem shaving I ordered an electric raver for £18 on Amazon get one haven’t been cut anymore I love your new condo but I really liked santitan how long does it take to walk to the town Niman area ?

There was a lot of talk about Thailand taxing foreign money coming into Thailand starting Jan 01 , 2024. Have you got any advice on this, did they go ahead and does it effect your situation

Hi Pete from Vancouver, Canada! Love your channel! Why did you choose Chiang Mai? Was the south a consideration? I spent 3 months in Thailand this past Nov-Jan and visited Chiang Mai for a week and loved the vibe there. I want to go back to explore more. Thinking of possibly moving to Thailand as I am retired but would want to try living in various locations for a month or so to see how it is compared to vacation visits. Did you explore other locations or did Chiang Mai grab your attention and hold? Thanks, ...Derrick

Pete My plan before finding out about the smoke was to hire a bike from Big Bikes run by an Aussie guy and do a 6 day tour with them

Please consider activating your channel's "Super Thanks" feature. I am sure there are several of your viewers (like me) who would like to show a little extra gratitude for your content. It's not charity or mooching, just a RU-vid custom many viewers enjoy.

Hi mate why did you pick Chiang Mai

Are you eligible to collect the pension when you turn 67? I heard you say you can take your superannuation at 60, but have heard pension rules may have changed if you’re living outside of Australia Looking forward to seeing your journey as I would like to end up in Thailand soon 😊

Can you tell us the names of those bike-hiring places you mentioned? also, do you think when you hire the bikes, there is insurance or do you have to buy them separately?

Have you been to bang saray

Do they have tuktuks in Chiang Mai?

I love hua Hin and chiang mai. How did you make your decision on where to live?

Did you take out health insurance and I've seen most people talking about $1200aud as an average budget, is that about right?

Are you living off savings or investments? I am 57 year old Aussie as well. Are you lonely or do you know people?

They burning sugar cane mate yer great place air not good

Not all “blood thinners” are not the same! Find one that is reversable! Think Warfarin and vitamin K maybe!
