Keep em coming. I have about 1100 a month to live on. Love the tips.
🫡🇹🇭❤️👍
Great video Tony, very good information for new comeers
Thanks 👍
Nice one Tony 🙏 can you show more condos in the 10-12,000 baht range
Thank you ❤
Its pretty funny..when i say its cheap or something is "cheap"(like most tings Thailand are) to a American they often do the correlation "its bad quality" or "low quality".
Its pretty specific for just Americans to think like that, i presume its the american consumerism and shopping mentality that plays there.
I try to say affordable
@@sjw4life546 ah true..i will do the same..thanks for the tip.
Yeah, my electric bill last month was about 96 dollars, while my water was like 2 dollars. I use the condos Wi-Fi which is pretty good, and I bought a phone in thailand that had unlimited talk and internet for three months. I guess after my three months is up I will have to get a phone plan
Thanks for the info. I have been wondering about the cost of electricity, in that climate it is worth every penny. Water, phone and internet makes the electricity cost not so bad
@@kelkilkat agreed. In America I averaged about 60 bucks a month for electricity when it was just me by myself so it wasn’t that much cheaper. Food, water, internet, phone, and health insurance are much more affordable in Thailand, and mind you I live in Phuket which is supposed to be the most expensive out of the “big three” Chaing Mai, Bangkok, Phuket
@@sjw4life546 I live in Phoenix. For years the AC was on May-Sept 24/7 and heat on Nov-Feb. 5 years ago I decided to try no heat in winter. Was cold year 1 but dressed for it. Each year after fewer clothes and blankets.
This summer I tried scaling back on the AC. More time spent outside doing things, working on my house and just plain accepting being a little warm. Pretty much just used AC at night. I like it. AC seems too cold for me even on the highest setting.
Humans are surprisingly adaptable.
burning aircon isn't only expensive, it make life harder for YOU, because ur body doesn't adapt to the thai climate and u often get sick or have nasal and throat problems from aircon.
I know guys that are almost prisoners' in their houses and cant manage to go out even eveningtime burning aircon like its no tomorrow.
in Chiang Mai they burn the fields for 4-5 months, the air is extremely polluted, Thais themselves do not recommend living there
I think your exaggerating 🙄
It is the surrounding poorer country´s that is burning (Lao Myanmar Cambodia). Often the trash from sugarcane..and the air gets bad mostly during the extreme dry heat periods.
And they are not 4-5 months long ..at most a week or max 2 as the longest recurring periods
Friend, so obviously if a person is retired and living on a budget, it's not required to prove $2,000 minimum monthly income, Or have a certain amount of money in a Thai Bank? Cuz that's what I keep hearing. For me personally,I have SS from US of $1500 a month and some savings, so I can more than get by, I don't smoke or drink, I'm kind of a boring person.😂 Thanks
If you are over 50 you can go to a immigration agent in Thailand and they will do everything for you,no proof of earnings,if you are not a party animal you can live very cheaply and very comfortably on $1500 very comfortably,
@@davidludford2164 that's good to know. It was either living in the Philippines or Thailand, so what you're saying is true, I think it'll be living in Thailand. I guess I can check out the Philippines from there. Thank you boss, I'm going to subscribe to your site and give you thumbs up, that's the least I can do.
What’s the name of the place where you filmed this video?

@@TheNarrowGate Thanks!
You mentioned cards that don't have fees...which ones?
Capital one has no foreign transaction fees. But, you need a Google voice number for 2 step authentication. And, Charles Shwab debit card. Also, some banks will reimburse so many times per month for ATM fees. And ATM fees can be 240 baht with foreign cards
Those are the two cards that we have and they work well here.
@@ijustlike0010 thank you

Say Duke Duke, not tuke tuke!!
We had a video on this with a Thai instructor and a tuk tuk driver. If I can remember what video it was in I will leave a link. You are correct that it has a dt sound at the start. รถตุ๊กตุ๊ก. for simplicity, we will stick with tuk tuk for the masses.
