Today I answer the question many have asked me. I reveal the truth about why I moved to Thailand. My answer might surprise you. I walk you through my first trip to Thailand, how I fell in love with this country and the suprising reason why I moved to Thailand. The reason for me moving to Thailand is not what most would think. Hopefully this video will help you think about what is really important in life and lead you down your own journey.
I recently moved to Thailand and am beginning to roam the country while documenting my travels via my RU-vid vlog channel. Join me for my assorted adventures in the many different regions of Thailand.

I moved to Thailand from beautiful Boulder, CO 23 years ago and married a beautiful Thai woman who is very smart and half Thai and the other half her father who had Chinese blood and speaks very good English. I have not missed the U.S. at all and will never go back. I started in Ko Samui and still have a nice house there but my wife wanted to move to Nakhon Sawan so I now live in a house here it is a quiet Thai Village not in the city and beautiful since my wife is a designer by heart. I am 66 and my wife is 54 but we both look young for our age, thanks for your videos and for listening to such a positive fellow, Peace

It's very sad that issues like homelessness, addictions, looting and gun violence are so prevalent in the US while you don't see these problems as much in Thailand even in big cities like Bangkok:(

Hi Serg! I can definitely relate to what you're saying and I have been contemplating the move to Thailand also. I hope to walk in your footsteps within 5 years from now. This is exactly why I have subscribed to your channel. I wanted to see your Thailand journey in real-time and to see the challenges you face. In the meantime, I will travel to Thailand once or twice a year to get more acquainted with the country. Similar to your story, I was born in Bangkok but I grew up in SoCal from the age of 2. We are about the same age and I have no real ties to the US. Where I live now there is no sense of community and that is what I am seeking in Thailand. The US is a great place to make a living but I think Thailand is a great place to make a life!

Serg i 'll never forget when i flew out of Tokyo thinking, I don't want to leave this place. Been here for 6 years now with two boys born here and wouldn't change a thing.. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet right!

@LifewithSerg Год назад

Absolutely, change is scary at times. However, we need change in order to grow and progress in life.

Loved the video. You really spoke my truth, i feel the same way about this lovely place. I remember from the moment I landed in Bangkok, I instantly fell in love with it. I was actually feeling sad when I had to leave the city. I stay. in Mumbai which some say isn't much different, but trust me it is very different. I loved the vibe, the convenience of walking everywhere, the people i came across every time I'm in Bangkok are so so nice, my last visit was weeks before covid and I've been wanting to go back since. Someday I see myself living there for as long as it is possible and permissible. Great city, Great culture.

@LifewithSerg Год назад

I hope you can make it back to this wonderful country soon. I’ve never been to India, but it also sounds very interesting.

@ItsMulThaiMedia Год назад

Awesome as usual. And I want to move to Thailand for the same reasons. With the mentioning of your age, you have really encouraged me more because I felt at my age of 36 that I maybe should have planned a little earlier but I see you having tons of fun there at your golden age. Lol. I am half Thai as well and my mothers side of the family talk about how great it is there throughout my life and it always seemed like paradise to me. Proud of you and happy for you Serg!

@LifewithSerg Год назад

Absolutely do it! I don’t think it’s ever too late to try something different or new. Irrational fear keeps a lot of us from doing the things we want. I say you’re rational because a lot of times it’s just that, we just make up these scenarios in our minds that really would not come to be.

The heat is the one big reason that would hold me back from considering moving to Thailand full time. Some of us are just not built for that. However, it would make a great part-time home if one can swing it. Your first trip is pretty similar to my experience. I loved everything about it except the heat. I really want to return for a longer stay this time.

@LifewithSerg Год назад

I got admit, I hated the heat. You gotta remember that I was born in Russia. So my body isn’t exactly designed for warm temperatures. 🤣 However after four months here I feel very acclimated. I still sweat, I still overheat but it’s getting much better.

@user-br7cb8ir6g Год назад

If you are afraid of the heat I recommend you to stay in Khao Kho, Phetchabun. It's not hot in the summer. not very cold in winter It is very suitable for living.

@LifewithSerg Год назад

I’m ok with the heat now. Have gotten used to it.

@junglehacker Год назад

An air-conditioner is useful during a few summer months. If you don't want to use it, you shouldn't use a car either. In fact, a few solar panel can provide free electricity for an air-conditioner. Not to mention some secret places where it's cold during the summer night.

@DreamofThailand19000 Год назад

I am Thai and agree with you about the heat. After living in US for 30+ years, I have a hard time taking the heat in Thailand. However I will retire next year, but will stay in Thailand from November to March.

@vanassarinleeanupat3973 Год назад

Thank you Serg. You've made me missed home so much. I agree with everything you said. I don't know why I'm here in the US either. Especially, when I left home many years ago, as soon as my feet stepped out of Thailand. I just cried so much on the plane all the way through Washington DC. And you won't believe that, for some reason, I have been America for too long, while I'm missing home so much every day. My dad always said to me " life is just a destiny " Anyway, before long, I'm about to come back home for good. We may run in to each other someday. Yes, you don't know me. But I remember you from you website. You take care. And enjoy your second home in Thailand.😊🇹🇭👍

Hi Serg, being from Thailand, I completely understand the live-and-let-live attitude. The thing we care about though is being considerate to others. If someone were to be an asshole to other people, they will find out real quick we don't tolerate such thing.

@LifewithSerg Год назад

I’m very much the same way. Treat people with kindness and respect. If they mistreat you, then you act accordingly. Speak softly, but carry a big stick.

I suggest that you need to learn a bit more of daily used Thai language by living in Bangkok. It will make you more fun during your daily life and should make a lots of Thai friends cause they will open wide when you talking to them in Thai for those Thais who was weak in English. Anyway, Well come to Thailand.

@LifewithSerg Год назад

Yes I need to learn more Thai for sure. 😊

@dignity5004 Год назад

Thai language is not as difficult as you think. When you experience Thai language...You will find beautiful language sounds, excellent grammar, beautiful font and the exact meaning...unlike English, one word has many different meanings. **Thai people are welcome if you are nice.🤗👉(If not, please don't come..You know, Westerners are very hard to find good-hearted people.) Then you will find all the happiness you want in..Thailand.**😉 From..Thai people...Wish you luck.😇

@manolexing68 Год назад

Totally understand your vantage point Serg. It's much more comfortable to look after our own health and happiness than to spend time pondering over politics and even just what others think of us in general. I'm in that mentality now as well. After decades of caring too much about how others view me, it's now "ME" time instead of political correctness 24/7. Thanks for your fun walks. It's coming up to Fall Season. Have ypu ever thought of visiting Chiang Rai or Mae Hong Son in tge north during Winter here? If so you do have to plan (and reserve accom) ahead of time month or more. It's beautiful up there during Winter with flowers, tea plantations, rolling hills, and best of all, 15-25 degree Celcius weather. Would love to see your videos up there if you do.

@LifewithSerg Год назад

Yep, you understand exactly my rationale. I’m absolutely planning to go to Chiang Mai soon. My plan is to spend a week in the city, and do the Mae Hon Song motorbike loop. I will definitely documenting all of that.

@LifewithSerg Год назад

They have excellent medical and dental care here. My experience is with hospitals and doctors here has been on par, if not better than in the US. Renting makes a lot more sense here than buying for a lot of people. Make sure you do your research to see which is best for you.

I think you were wise to move to Thailand at 50 years old. I spend 3 month a year in Thailand too and I am married to a Thai woman. But at 74 years old, it's really too late for me to live there permanently. Plus the temperature is just too hot most of the time. I live on the Oregon coast were it is much cooler. And so I hired a law firm to help me get a spousal visa for my wife so that we can travel both ways from America to Thailand. You have great videos and I have watched many of them. Good luck to you,,,,,,,,,,
