      I wish more Thais appreciate their country instead of thinking Western lifestyle, thinking, and country is the best. I feel stressed with usa culture and food, why I’m here in Thailand now and plan to retire here later. I understand we can take the best of each culture and make it our own. However, each time I observe Thai people and culture I’m so enamored and amazed at how clever and intelligent they approach things 😍

    I 100% agree with all your reasons on moving to Bkk. I’m also Chinese American and moved here 10 years ago with my pregnant wife. At first it was supposed to be just a few years of fun and adventure in a new city but ended up getting comfortable with what this vibrant city got to offer. Still loving it and still don’t want to move back to America

    I visited Bangkok alone two weeks ago and I miss it a lot!!! I did everything by myself and I enjoyed every second of it. As an introvert I love doing things alone because I don’t have to care what others want me to do lol. I really want to live in Bangkok because life in Canada now just sucks but I don’t know how I would support myself there 😢
    I plan to visit again next year and I can’t wait!!!

      Hi, I’m Thai living in Canada. There’re so much things to see and do in Thailand, which don’t take a fortune so i understand why you would love to live in Bangkok (and BKK is so lively). One way for you to make an income in Thailand to support yourself living there is to become an English teacher. Maybe you want to do some research into this. Best of luck and wish you lots of happiness.

    Thai language is really hard to learn as a 2nd or 3rd language for foreigners. But hey, don't be shy to use it as much as you can while you're learning it. because we don't mind the wrong pronunciation or arrangement. On the other hand, we are really happy or even love it when foreigners try to use our language to communicate with us (so cute). worry not, i'm sure you can master Thai language no problem 😊

      Maybe also because in Thailand you were still somewhat in "vacation" mode and didn't have the same responsibilities you have in the US. Then when you returned to the US, you're back to your routine and reality.
      I've experienced this going to other countries, including Thailand. What I realized is because I was on vacation and didn't have the regular routine of work, paying bills, etc.

    I've recently started watching travel videos to unwind which is probably why YT brought me here because at 54 I'm definitely not the target audience. I am however amazed to see a young person do a "moving to Thailand" video, the bulk that I've seen are from people a lot older. So brava and kudos for following your instincts and dreams. 👏
    As for finding friendship and love, I hope you do. As time passes the moments spent together sharing a sunrise are what remain, not the hurt of a failed relationship. At least not if you know you were sincere and true and did your best. You will regret relationships that have ended where you know you held back. Because you will wonder if things could have been different if you were more open. But if you were committed and fair from the start and it still didn't work out, well maybe that just wasn't meant to be and that's ok.
    Anyway, these are the ramblings of a man with some miles on the clock, hope you don't mind. Before I go though, the laundry list for an ideal man is cute. I have known several women with such lists all of whom are happy today with someone who wouldn't have made their list. The sooner you get rid of it the better. 😊

    It’s dreams do come true. I do envy you Joyce. I started knowing you when you made reaction videos on TH-cam through BL series. I have been your biggest fan since then and I just want to live there like you. You truly are my inspiration Joyce 🫶❤️

    Brave move and very nice sharing. Interesting ideals on having friends/relationships. Haha. I'm all about experiential experiences as well, I find it nice doing it alone and sometimes even better doing with a group of people.
    Anyway, I can relate to some of your experiences as I went to Beijing and lived there for 6 months. I'm Malaysian by the way. :)
    Keep doing what you do! Stay awesome.

    Visa wise, if you limit yourself to 6 months per 12 months, you can stay on tourist visas / tourist entries, you'll be fine after the student visa's are finished... There are so many interesting places a short flight away, you can use Thailand as a base and stay in SE Asia visa free (Although the student visa makes it easy if you don't want the travel..).
    Nice video!

    I’m 27 years old from America and I’ve been living in Thailand for 4-5 years (in Chiang Mai now) as a teacher. As an American citizen, if you want to stay in Thailand longer you should consider getting a TEFL certificate and teaching in Thailand. Anyways hope you enjoy living in Thailand, you seem like a chill person.

    I can relate to this video so so much.
    ''I came to Thailand because of BL, which is partially true. I started watching Thai series in April, 2020. So 2gether is like my first BL.''
    ''I'm not gonna do Elite visa because it's quite expensive.''
    ''That's why I believe in manifesting. If you really want something, you will find a way to get it.''
    ''I keep saying Thailand, but I mean Bangkok. The thing I like about Bangkok is that...''
    ''I haven't been to a lot of places but out of the places I have been to, I think Bangkok makes me the most happy.''
    ''I am more of an introvert.''
    ''I like the person that I become in Thailand.''
    ''I think I am getting more quality of life out of Bangkok.''
    ''My dream for the past 2-3 years is to live in Bangkok.''
    ''I don't think it's about bravery. It's about money.''
    ''I don't have any love life.''
    ''I don't really wanna like anymore. I am stopping myself from liking anyone.''
    ''I don't wanna start anything with anyone like both friends and relationship.''
    ''A lot of my best memories are spent alone or by myself.''
    ''I really, really, really like Bangkok.''
    ''I have an idea on what kind of guy I like so that I am not wasting time on people that I am not interested in or not my type.''
    ''I know it's not realistic to have a list but I still wanna have an idea of what I want in a person in terms of appearance and personality.''
    same as mine: ''5'8 to 5'11, Body Count < 10, Agnostic // Buddhist, no marriage // no kids, no drugs // no alcohol // no smoking, straight teeth, no glasses, no tattoo, no partying, no long nails, no long hair''
    ''I don't like going to zoos, I don't like the idea that an animal is trapped there.''
    ''You know how some guys in some cities or some countries, they give you perv vibe, but in Thailand, I don't feel like Thai guys give me perv vibe.''
    ''I couldn't think of something that I don't like.''
    ''1 bagpack, 1 luggage''

    Btw I don't think not simping at first and then starting to after relationship starts is possible 😅 Usually the reverse happens since discovering someone leads to discovering their flaws as well.

    After 1-2 years staying and learning Thai in BKK, you will definitely almost certainly nail Thai 100%, look at your speaking Thai right now, it’s already so much ahead of most of us👏🫶please teach me Thai afterwards once you nailed it, deal?👌
    美丽的公园,中央的湖泊,天鹅船🚢🦢相信我,只要你愿意,会有大把的人想要和你一起划船游湖的🫶💪💪你已经在曼谷交到很多好朋友了不是吗🤗至少比起我来说你的朋友已经很多很多了😂🥺好羡慕你真的,我要是可以从你身上学习到人际交往的门道就好了🥺相信我也要相信自己,喜欢你的人很多呢!😎🥰😘🤩

      You're right. Thai is actually easy to speak because of little grammar rules. Just copy the Thai spoken in the "good" TV shows and listen to ordinary Thai from other shows. And you'll get it quick.
