Definitely visiting here on my upcoming trip looks like a great area

Great choice. Went there in August to escape the rain in Ranong where I live. Nakhon Kanom is really nice and quiet with beautiful beaches. Could imagine living there, too

Yes u shouldn’t ever give them the machine back until you complete the transaction and it’s say complete I’m sure this wasn’t an oversight on his part he’s been doing it for a while and still will until management is confronted He safes d enjoy your European travels

Good catch.... too bad it happens.

You have gotten very good at producing your videos….kudos my friends…🙏🏼🙏🏼 - GREAT job!!

I LOVE the crickets overdub in baggage claim. 😊 Knowing you as I do, I LOVE when your sense of humor shines through….”wicked” expensive (gee I wonder what state you are from?)…😂😂 - GREAT job Ed and Tomo! I really like your musical choices…..Geng Mâak!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

GREAT piece - I LOVE those steins! Can you buy them? Your editing skills, musical choices, and narration has gotten exceptional - Great job Ed and Tomo. Keep up the great work. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I appreciate the sacrifices you make to bring us all the tourist experiences such as beer gardens. On the tip fraud front, I always try to proceed/complete the transaction myself before handing the device back. That way there’s no opportunity to modify it before closing it out. Maybe that’s something to try in the future.

Wow, thanks for the heads up! I’d never thought about situation like this could happen…anywhere, but will be checking receipt more closely now. Could you share about your lodging and mode of travel while in Europe? How much per day per person would you suggest budgeting for a trip in EU? I suppose cost is country dependent.

Hi Ed, nice videos you’re making! I’m so happy that you like khanom so much, my girlfriend and I just but a property there and will be there in 2 weeks……. for the very first time!!!! We live in Portugal and have been searching the net for many months in order to find our “dream project” somewhere in the south and weren’t planning on buying before seeing it but we both knew we hit the jackpot in khanom so we went for it! Watching your videos has given me confidence so thanks for that. We’ll be there for 4 weeks, you never know, maybe we bump into eachother somewhere 🙂

Is Wing Samui pet friendly ie Dogs?

Wow… Omg… this place is absolutely gorgeous and stylish and stunning… 😊

Thank you so very much for your information, in search of a nice retirement spot that I wouldn’t have to live on peanut butter and jelly sandwich… hell that is expensive too here in the USA… I like your advice and your kindness… Please continue to post more, your doing a great service to us dreamers that are trying to figure this retirement plan out…Blessings to you and your family…

I really liked this video 😊

I'm in Sichon, it has some really nice untouchable beaches, not traffic and very friendly locals. Also more westerners come here. Khanom/Sichon perfect for slow life. If i wanna have party i can jump on the ferry and go to nearby islands

Thanks for posting this, it was a delight to see your experience at the temples. I agree with you that seeing these temples is a beautiful experience. I have done this a few times over the past 30 years. May I suggest including chapters in your videos, it's just a thought. Perhaps it would encourage people to look at your videos by being able view to begin with the things that most interest them. 😊

Spent 10k for 5 days in the ICU for pneumonia 17 years ago Paid cash as soon as they gave me a bill. Over 40 years, spent 30k in hospitals or less than 1000 per year. I paid 10k insurance paid 20k. I can easily self insure now. My care in Bumrungrad was excellent and about $2000 a day. I was in the ICU taking IV zntibiotics and on a broncho dialator everyday Spent another 150 bringing in my own food everyday from nearby restaurants. Now 70, I expect my expenditures to double or triple. I can get insurance to pay at least 70% and qualify for national health insurance in Japan which is based on local income. 80% if my income is from outside Japan so the cost is not so high. I always have 100k for emergencies and can get 1 million quickly if needed. This takes years of preparation and planning Hospitslized 4 times and 5000 worth of dental work. Less than $10 per month. I keep 100k in reserve and only spend about 60 a month.

Everything okay?

Samui a gipsy village with Paris price Litter island

We ordered Japanese Yen a few months back when it was at its lowest for our trip Japan from the States in two weeks. We watch foreign currency for a year out prior to any trip…it’s a good tip for saving on travel expenses.

I had quotes for age bracket 61-65 4500-7500 euros. Not yet included are accident, outpatient nor pre existing conditions. Area Asia. Direct billing more expensive. I expect to budget 6000 for me and 6000 for my wife and expect to go for a deductibles of about 5000, which I deem already very high. We’re just in the planning phase, still in Switzerland. Costs here are slightly higher but deductibles are only 300 Euros plus a 10% participation at costs above this. And of course here we can’t get canceled. I like your statements at the end because you clearly say amounts and the risk of not being renewed. All insurers in Thailand can kick us out any time and that’s a real issue and therefore one has to opt for a great broker and a top tier insurer as you did.

Thanks for the video, last year, I lived in the Jomtien area close to Pattaya for 6 months and my monthly budget was $3K and that's with companionship with a regular Thai lady for 3x a week and not buying any lady drinks and barfines. Been eating Thai foods in the market not western food. I was planning to retire but changed my mind in the last minute. In my early 50's now and back to work in CA. Will do this again, next year.

This is exactly what I've been looking for. More experience of Souther Thailand. Thanks for sharing

That place is gorgeous!! We're sold!!😊👍

Wonderful video, thank you for sharing!

are u vaxxed?

Fantastishe😊

Khanom and Sichon is nice and quiet (have been there a few times) but transportation to international airports is a bit of a hassle. If you would like friends and family to come to visit often, getting there is rather inconvenient for them. Same if you want to travel internationally. It can be rather isolating as a result.

wow! very good movie making 🎉

You two rock. If I were looking for a home in Thailand now, that's exactly where I would go.

? Your not moving there, so why the title? Very few could afford the electric bill let alone the cost of buying a house this big. Small, efficient, energy saving condos are the way to go in Thailand as you spend a lot of time away and outdoors. Peace and Love Y'all.

Wow!! Gorgeous home!

Thumbs up 👍 Ed & Tomo

My preference has always been the modern open concrete glass wall minimalist design. But after living here in Thailand for many years, with plans to to perhaps build in the future, I am now thinking to add some Thai/Asian elements to this concept

LOL A sauna in Thailand. thanks I'll pass on that one. 😂

Amazing place love it and love you two 😻 . Thanks for showing us such amazing place ( my dream home too )

I guess it'll do if you're on a fixed budget, but it would be nice to see something a little more upscale ;) Seriously, though. That's an amazing place, and for what it appears to offer it looks like a good price. The upkeep is going to be intense, though. You'll definitely need some full-time staff to take care of it.

Love the humor along the way. Amazing house, you should have stayed a night!

It is impossible to buy nowadays for guys like me. 400-500k for a decent home and even those have alot of issues..

Greetings from Australia. i've watched quite a few Samui type vids, which lead me to your channel. Ed and Tomo videos are my new fave. Looking forward to your future Khanom / Thailand adventures

Congratulations on the 18 years together.....

Nice. Thanks for sharing it. I see it is 11 min away from where I live :)

Great find guys! We will go for sure!

You had 10 suitcases, when I retire it is one suitcase, carry on, laptop bag and my dog. Clothing is so inexpensive in Thailand no need to haul 10 suitcases from to Thailand from Japan.

Ed... any chance I can connect with you? I am a writer for international living magazine, and will be spending all of july in Samui with my family. Would love the chance to meet up and record a video with you on life as a retiree in Samui for the magazine. would you be up for that, and if so what's the best way to connect?

Really enjoyed it until the music got far to load towards the end 👍🏻

Just loving this video and especially where Ed tells of his single mom working her tail off. I'm literally that mom in my life too. I only had to do it with 3 kids, but it was hard. I live in Thailand too and my kids all followed me here, one-by-one, so my family is nearby. Thank you for this lovely video.

Wow! Amazing place! Enjoy! ❤

Welcome to Khanom Nakhon Si Tammarat 🙏

Thumbs up 👍 Ed & Tomo
