Gday from Down under

Sad to hear about the house mate, I’m going to give you my opinion, remember it is just my opinion, but I am in a very similar situation to yourself, my girl has 3 kids from her previous husband (which I now consider them mine and would do anything for them) and family in issan, we recently brought the kids to live with her in Jomtien as we feel they will get a better education & quality of life, they were also living in a run down shack that was falling apart with the grandmother who is struggling to look after herself let alone 3 children , so we made the call for the benefit of all. All this as you know is not cheap even in a third world country , I know you have the dream of wanting to support yourself & Lele and family on the back of digital media, but you need to be realistic, this could take years if at all, and the children’s bills will keep coming, they will not wait until/if you make the big league in YT…You are a young man with a long life in front of you, (and now your family) someone else mentioned thinking about coming back to Australia , for a short period and cashing up, you should seriously consider this, 3mth working in Australia will go along way for the rest of the year in Thailand, even try FIFO, I am currently doing this work 2 weeks in Australia and than spend my RnR with my girl & family in Jomtien , Perth to Bangkok direct now $750 return 7hrs flight would I far sooner live full time in Thailand with my family ? Hell yes , but I’m a realist and understand my family needs money now to give them a better life, in 3-4 years we will be in a position (hopefully) I can live full time in Thailand but right now, it can’t be due to financial circumstances. If you have to leave Thailand for a short term to get money, it is not a failure, do not think that, it is a sign of maturity and that you care enough to give Lele & her family a better life now, it’s not easy to leave your loved ones to do it , but do it knowing it’s for the greater and long term good.. Don’t become a internet begger , it is not a guaranteed income Just my opinion, and I wish you nothing but the best, but remember as long as you are with Lele , you have family commitments 🙏🙏

Sam, you are a good man to help Lele and her family. God Bless!

Man, what timing. My girlfriend is considering doing it now too and we’re trying to figure out the possible income for her.

Did you get my money

Did you get my money

where does her daughter live? with you guys or back in Isan so far from her.

so you can paddle board off season, nice

They all seem to have the latest pickup truck cost more then a house

I was there in august 2023 pre nice place good to see at least once the ark bar is like the only vibing beach bar if you want to walk the beach there a couple smaller places but nothing as bright as the ark bar and fire show is always very cool however its way to exspansive I spent 12 thousands aussie dollars for a about 13 or 14 days and don't stay at lenny's koh samui the beds are horrific

infuriating : Slow staff sometimes and the defamation laws means you cant leave a bad review. You look a cafe or restaurant, and it has 5 star reviews and isnt that flash.

Yes you can buy a license here for anything, motor bike, car, a visa to, and even a death certificat with your cash ,just get in line

stumbled upon your content,your a good man,i too was very much into my Thai gf back 18/19 yrs ago,used to travel form melbourne 3-4 times a year for like 4 years,she wasnt overly expensive had 2 children from a previous relationship and i was 7 years older, she was good to me and good lookin to boot but honestly i knew that if i stayed permanently in Thailand the burden to provide for her n her family in surin would eventually wear me down and make me miserable so i had to let go,i was previously married to a thai woman befor her in my late 20's,she was better off financially when i met her but that never lasted also,not bc of money but her difficulty to adjust to western life demands here in the city in Australia,anyway ive more money than ever in my life now and am reaching the twighlight @ 56 n considering a move permanently in abt 10-15 months

Lets say it does work. More people more money. Raises the cost of living. The Thai don't get paid more unless they own businesses. They are forced out of their homes, can't afford the rent raises, or forced to sell because the cost of living goes up even faster. Work remote at 60k US dollars. Do Thai citizens get to work remote for other countries as well to increase their average living wages?

bless up

Cheers mate, damn I hope things pan out for you mate, 🙂

Imported products have allways been extreem expensive.

FFS bro go back to Australia and get even a basic 9 to 5 that will pay at least 45k on minimum wage, and being honest with your qualifications you will be on at least $70k AUD which is 1.6 million THB. Take care of your business like a man by paying your own way, you are more than capable of that. One or two years of hard graft and saving back home and you would be fine when you return to Thailand.

Y'all stay strong and persevere!!

You may as-well help the dog by taking it to the vet, let's be real here you are paying for everything else, why let the dog suffer?

I loved Koh Samui right after the pandemic, then I went to Fisherman’s village and saw all the vapid westerners with their Instagram scenes and realized ahh that’s where those people go 🤔 The rest of the island was enjoyable however. I hope they never build that land bridge to the island - it will only benefit the big companies.

Thanks

So what have you done to help the dog? I’ve googled and there are dozens of vets and animal hospitals in Isan.

If anyone asks you to invest in farm land in Isaan then don't as it's a scam. The land is mostly owned by the government and they let the people farm on it for free. And it is better to date a degree educated woman from BKK with no children.

Respect for you fella your a good heart

Thanks

Thanks

I'm in Pattaya from the 10th Sept onwards... Hopefully forever. Your videos have been part inspiration and part wake up call, mate. Absolute legend of a guy, I'll grab you a beer if we ever cross paths. ✌️

the drama.

Hope the shed works out and the bbq for the family bro

Thanks

Was that market in Det Udom? It looked familiar. I live in Koh Samui but my wife is from there. Also, the school looked familiar. I think my wife's two granddaughters used to go there. Take the road towards Ubon and turn right just after a wat on the left. There's a sign saying something about a technical college at the top of the road where you turn off. Good luck with looking after the family. I have done my fair share over the 22 years that my wife and I have been married. We brought up three of her nieces - sent one to university and one to college. Now helping out two granddaughters. I was once a relatively rich man!

This is a very interesting video for someone who is just starting out in a relationship with a Thai girl from Isaan. I am getting the feeling the best approach may well be to always keep any true wealth you have a secret, and definitely don’t advertise if you do have significant savings

Thai regulations are like driving on first gear and reverse at the same time. It is what it is and it’s beautiful. Day after there will be new just the opposite law 😂😂😂

Thanks!

🙏🏼

It is certainly an eye opener & very humbling to spend time in a primitive place in Isan. I have experienced it quite a bit over the years. Everyone knows where you go & what you do. I have experienced it quite a bit over the years. I must admit too that I love the feeling of freedom without a helmet. Cheers

Good on ya mate. Having spent time in rural Buriram province Thailand, and also Prey Veng province in Cambodia, i know how it is. Beautiful people simply living, who could use so many things that we take for granted. And they are so willing to share what little they have with us.

They announce but will they implicate it. Coming and living 20+ years. Just wait and see 😉😉😉😉

Much respect, brother! Good on both of you. Imagine if you didn’t show up to help. Family first.

Can't they stay with you at your place a few days while repairs try to get worked on?

Depending where you live in Thailand. . Prices around bkk are higher than that. 😉😉😉😉

Man creates his own burden!

Nice you helped. I never bin there. But lot foreigners live there. Yaba is a real problem here in Thailand.

Sorry to hear about the misfortune of the kids place, I know you are probably gone now, but could you get some of that expandable foam stuff for the gaps in the roof to the wall you mentioned. I have a question and more to your girl friend than yourself, and please don't take this any way but a genuine question, but would the kids have a better pathway to a better career or future if they were living in a city rather than a rural area ? it is for economical reasons they are there, just a question not judging ,

I’m in roi et. If you need building help lmk and I will be there. Glad to help.

Good on u guys for your help with family.chok dee ❤️ keep it rollin

The walls look good and strong…..you can just put mosquito screen over that gap…

I live in a small village too and that “jealousy” thing is disgustingly real. My wife is getting much better about saying, “No” and not worrying about being guilted into solving all the neighbors problems or worrying about their feelings towards her/us. While it makes zero sense to us, that is so embedded into the culture. The Land of Smiles……riiiiight.

Interesting video. So you were at the food market, you filmed some seashells, make sure you have the right tone when you say it in Thai (hoi)......otherwise it can get a completely different meaning :), guess you know what? haha
