      1000 usd, is alright a month if you know how. I've spent around 2000-3000 in 1 month but that was me living good, partying, doing the tourist thing. The last 2 months, probably about 1400-1500. I went out to eat, but it was mostly the little carts. I can get a really good, filling meal for less than 150 baht.

      It’s primarily because they’re either not being completely honest about their outgoings or are considering totally optional expenses as mandatory and projecting their financial irresponsibility onto others in true gatekeeping fashion. For example, renting out a $600 condo instead of a perfectly fine $300 unit. Or drinking every day. Or owning a car. Or going on a $500 trip every month. Or subsiding their girlfriends in true financially-based relationship fashion.
      But then they will say something stupid like if you’re living on $1000/month you’re just surviving, not living, when most of the time their definition of “living” is their inability to let go of their western conveniences/lifestyle, while ignoring the fact that just being located in Thailand with all the great things it has to offer is fantastic living in and of itself. They don’t have the right priorities in life. Fuck ‘em. They can stay in the Philippines 😏

    Wyn you are in your 60s so I guess you will get your UK pension in the not to distant future? But the problem with Thailand is that you will not receive an annual cost of living rise. Would you consider moving to the Philippines where a UK pension is treated the same as living in the UK? If you haven't already been there a trip to cebu city in the future might be worthwhile for you. I have been to pattaya 6 times since September 2022 but I had also visited the Philippines 22 times in the past. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇵🇭

    Isaan man (Steady Eddy channel) refers to the Expat Tax Thailand channel videos, and summarises some of the tax rules. UK state pension would be taxable- think it would be taxed at 10% when remitted into the country. There's even a suggestion that if you're not a tax resident anywhere (I.e. this idea that you can go from country to country, and stay less than 180 days a year in Thailand), they will tax remittances into your Thai bank however long (or short) your stay in Thailand. Inheritance may be exempt from taxation (e.g. if you sell property you've inherited to help fund your retirement) - but you'll need probate docs etc.
    How it works in practice is the thing, though. The more overbearing and unreasonable a law is, the more it will be flouted. Think there's a US saying - "no taxation without representation"; that's what's happening here.
    With regard to UK state pension not upgrading yearly. Apparently what some people do is, every few years, visit the Philippines for 6 months (and declare residency there to the DWP) - they claim it resets your pension to current upgraded levels.

    Good video on a very common theme. But this one is more topical & interesting, considering the current Thai heat wave:
    One night I returned from the Rock in Rio concert at around 4:30 AM. Copacabana was hopping! It became immediately obvious that a significant percentage of my neighbors were entirely nocturnal. As a new Rio de Janeiro resident, this was a great revelation to me. Obviously, various All-Night coffee shops, bars, and restaurants are necessary to make this lifestyle option viable.
    So... are vampire hours (only) a workable option in Pattaya? And... are any expats actually living this lifestyle? (Now THAT would be a unique, and valuable YT video.)

    I admire your discipline and resolve...I am a new subscriber now to your channel now. I am 65 years old nd still working in the U.S. I am just a regular guy. My pension next October will be just under $1600 USD a month with only 100K USD in savings... In your opinion...Would the be enough to support a reasonable western expat life style? I do realize you do get by on less.
