My wife who is originally from Thailand built our home in Northeast part and in that region it doesn’t take much to have a less stressful life compared to the states
Reasonable budget for Chiang Mai and most parts of Thailand except Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya and touristic areas. It is not budget prevents people from moving, it is the fear.
$1000 is actually too much, I struggled to blow more than $700 When I lived for a month in Chiang Mai. I finally decided to relocated to Thailand on the second of April. Thank you Brett
What visa are you getting? I know the STV visa is 9 months but you are required to leave. I truly want to live in thailand for at least a few years but there are no visas that last that long and don't have strict requirements. I'd like to move around but having an education visa requires you to go to class in one city.
Excellent advice. I kept myself from moving there in 2007 cause kids back home. Later remarried someone who holding back my freedom...we all have choices even with covid, rest is just excuses. Point is its possible if you really want it. Like me, just have to do it. CHANGE is scarry yes. Work from home? That can be anywhere. Lower cost to live allows to save for travel and retire earlier. Thanks for video, cheers!
I'm 24, Scottish, I speak Thai fluently, have a Thai fiance and we travelled around Thailand around 4 months ago, but I can see why it's hard to move to Thailand. It's so money orientated, Thailand wants your money but they don't want you is what I take from their visas and restrictions on foreigners buying property.
I am a single man who lives in a major city in the southwest part of the USA. It is very difficult for me to spend over $1500 per month. My car is paid for and l have a 1 bedroom apartment, thats not in the slums. Don't eat out much and l have a few women who spend a little time with me every month. I barely drink any alcohol and l will attend live events that I like. If I can spend less than $1500 in the USA, should easily be able to live off that amount or less in Thailand.
Thanks. Planning to roll the dice once the boarders open. About to start a second website to diversify from the technical issues that pop up from time to time. Cant wait.
Make a plan. Set a date. Then mini-goals. Then just DO IT. I am saving X dollars each week, automatically, in preparation for the move back to Thailand. If a widow can do this (time number two), anyone can do it. If you get there and don't like it, book your flight and come back home. No worries!
Been watching your videos on and off for the past 2 years. I love the way you explain things. Very thorough and realistic. Funny at times, but in a good way! Looking forward to more of your videos. Great informative content!
When Brett talks about how easy it is to just move and get a client then move to Thailand, and I am just watching from my country with tears in my eyes because our economy is literally fucked and monthly salaries are almost around $300 right now, it helps makes me dream and have hopes. I wish I can do this today, I'll probably try my best soon to start planning it... first step, get a job online.
Thank you for sharing, I found your information very informative. I am an American laying the ground work for making that move to Thailand and bringing my consulting business with me. Currently gathering all the information that I can.
Great informative and very inspirational vlog, thank you very much. But what about your visa? Are you on student visa ? ( learning thai language) Or is it another kind of visa?
I'm sure $1000 per month will serve you well but it's also true (and you do mention it) that one needs to live a sensible life also. For my part, I lived in Spain for 3.5 years with about €1500 each month. That's fine but it did spiral quickly out of control at times. And you have to take into account non-daily expenses. Insurance. Health. Things going wrong. Stuff you have to buy. Buffer. Visa runs. If you DO plan on living on $1000 per month in Thailand then make very sure that you've got the basics covered and make sure that you've got a buffer that you don't touch at all unless you really need it one day. If something happens and/or you suddenly need a good chunk of cash and you don't have it then you can find yourself in real trouble very fast. Best of luck to all adventurers out there.
Good points. As someone who has worked as an ex-pat full-time freelancer for 13 years now, you can definitely make an average of 1K per month if you stay focused, but the problem with Thailand is not just the rent and living expenses; it's the damn VISA. If you're on an ED visa, you're gonna spend about 50K baht per year. Another potential dealbreaker for many (myself included) is the fact that it seems you now need insurance just to get an extension (you need to extend your ED visa every three months even if you make a 1-year deal with a school), frequent policy changes and new restrictions notwithstanding. Would be nice if someone has found a solution to this for Chiangmai (or other areas). Thai laws literally change on a weekly basis and are often confusing and disjointed. Basically, if you're from a western country, probably not a good idea to set your mind on staying there for the next 20 years, unless you've found some kind of visa deal I haven't heard of (unlikely), or are willing to spend 30K USD on the Thail Elite visa (20 years) or 18K for 5 years (going up to 20K next year). Then of course there's marriage, but that comes with it's own risks I guess. Basically, China is gaining a stronger and stronger foothold in the Thai gov, and they clearly DO NOT want westerner's there anymore. So unless you have a minimum of 16K to stay there for 5 years, or are married, visa is going to be a headache. Btw, even the O-type (retirement) visa has just become a LOT more restrictive and many retirees are leaving for the Phillipines due to the new financial and insurance restrictions. Good luck guys.
I’m glad you added this vital information. I was on the verge of packing a bag and booking a flight. You’ve probably just saved a few people from getting themselves into trouble.
You should do a video on what visas nomads are using at the moment (especially during covid) as I know border runs are off limits right now. I myself have a long term Thai partner and a stable income, but many people may struggle to work out logistically how its possible, visa-wise, to stay put. Decent vids!
I've been a lazy bum, just working my job for the last bit. Started getting myself in gear again and now I find this video of yours posted on my birthday. Well well well, must be the Universe sending a message. Or it might be Brett delivering a swift movement of the foot in a tender area, which is an even better reminder. Noice! Thanks again for another video showing me to not overthink it and just kick it hard.
@@sotepniques Currently in Belgium, the most famous non country. It's such a zombie nation nowadays I can't believe it's still the same territory. Saving up to ship out.
Good to see you back Brett! I think you're absolutely right. Some people want to bubblewrap themselves and try to think of every possible disaster that could befall them (thought the 3 motorbikes at once never crossed my mind! 🤣). But the end result of all that over thinking is paralysis; they end up doing nothing. I moved here July 2019, and I've not looked back. I sold or donated all my stuff and came here with three suitcases and a backpack at 57 yo. Divorce was my motivator for the changer of pace. I read a couple of comments about visas, and it might be good for you to revisit that issue some time. It is a pretty fluid situation on that front here in Thailand. I'm on a retirement visa, and so far so good. Cheers!
Health Insurance, visa fee, condo i guess 18000 baht, wi fi, money on account. I think impossible to live under 45000 baht in Thailand. If want same standard as in Sweden. Not everyone can eat seafood and fried food on those cheap places without to get sick.
@@brett_dev Why? I been in Thailand 6 times 30 days each. And ask other farang who live there about cost to live in Pattaya or Phuket. They say around 40000 bath and up. Condo living room, bedroom and kitchen 18000 bath include gym and wi fi. Visa fee and health insurance 10000 bath/month if you are 60 and up. Weather is good for me there but food not so easy if i am outside of tourist are. My friends manage to eat everything there but not manage heat there opposite to me. I like beach so north Thailand is not for me. Maybe cost is different to south and north i not know. Sorry for my bad English
I’m intending to teach English inThailand in 3 month stints while I wrap up my business in the states, maybe for the next 9 to 15 months. I’m semi retired currently teaching private guitar lessons and substitute teaching band classes for kids K-8. I’m also a talented musician (Electric blues and acoustic) who enjoys playing out a couple times a month. Is there opportunity in Bangkok or Chiang Mai to continue to play/practice my musical performance. Also I golf. I never see any folks talking about pursuing outside interests or continuing hobbies after moving to Thailand. Your thoughts?
Ive been to thailand 7 times now. I kived in chiang mai for a year in 2015 after being let go from teaching position i never obtained. Im definitely working on getting back but still stumbling around on a few things
I plan on moving an hour away from Chiang Mai, no clue about this client stuff but would love to come visit you and learn! I would most likely just outsource the jobs lol
This is so helpful. Thank you so much. I’m so fed up being so tired after working 40+ plus hours a week and never having time to do things I love. I’m going to make the move! I love Scotland but until I earn a higher salary life just isn’t happy. But even when I picture myself earning more that still come with working more so the cycle doesn’t end.
I have lived in Phetchabun, Khon Kaen, Roi Et , and BKK. I cannot live at any of these places under $2000 . Health insurance, condo , car , car insurance, n etc . I just it’s called one’s standard of living Preference.
Just came across you, video just what I needed, I’ve decided to move to Thailand and your info has really helped , straight to the point lol , thank you x
Thanks bro Needed to hear this. Got the chance to reset my life. Wanted to live in thailand for rhe last decade. Was stuck in the race. Hearing thisni know its possible. Sounds like I already have the money to not work for 2-3 years (obviously I will work, man's not lazy) just need to sell the house and car to take the plunge. Exciting af
Hello I had a question , how where you able to stay there for so long ? I’m from USA and plan to move to Thailand in a few years , and everything I see about visa is like 90 days
Some great points here brother. Wish I had moved to Thailand as I planned, would’ve been saving 3-4k a month on living expenses and wouldve had a lot more to reinvest and scale my business.
I know how you are speculating why others don't go for it, but you need to consider how much it costs to get started, too. Flights, visas, deposits for housing, etc. are limiting factors, too. And I'm sure that if you can do it on $1k per month, I can too. The fact that many of us would willingly leave tomorrow if not for debt, leases, car payments, insurances, storage and having an extra $5k-$7k to get it going. Essentially it is all about planning properly and making your actions count- getting all of your ducks in a row and keeping them there. Once you take the leap you'll see it's no big deal and worth every moment if you listen to those out there pointing the way. Thanks Brett. We all can and do learn a lot from this channel. Happy travels all.
Hi thanks so much your right I’ve been using excuses and over thinking this for years now you broke it down you given me the confidence to go for it Booking our one way tickets for end of March I can do this after 50 years of overthinking May be able to thank you when I get there
My boyfriend and i really want to move. We are stuck in the states. We tried saving up at least 5,000 for our move but i lost my job and we lost most of our savings due to a car accident. I want to move so bad but work is so hard to come by in the states. Im praying we get enough to leave
Yea 15 years in same job definitely missable been back and forward to Thailand this 6 years , still in 30s , great bit of advice pal 🙏👍just need be bit better wit online stuff
I'm from the UK also and planning to move to Bangkok this October but my main concern and stress is over what visa to get. Just seems like a money trap or complete stress that's always going to tie me down somewhere also with the risk of not getting renewed
Bro, thank you so much you are the man and you are so right I thought it's hard to find a job online but I never did what you are saying reaching out to 100-200 employers and actually trying Fuck knows how did I convince myself with the idea of being so hard thank you dude
How to get the least expensive health insurance? The consulate states expats living there must have health care coverage. Pacific Prime and Cross are less until elderly years (after 75) then takes closer to 1000.
I never thought it was hard to move to Thailand, at least any other year. The pandemic has changed everything though, and a lot of countries are closed to tourists until mass vaccination is in place. Maybe by the end of 2021
opposite of me, I randomly got stuck in Vietnam 2019 December when the bug came, luckiest shit ever. Never made so much money after taxes/expenses ever. I don't wanna leave.I use less then 1/3 of my salary and live great a good life! :)
@@andreasrnning2339 Damn man I was in the same situation as you but in Chiang when the bug hit last March. But I decided to come back to Australia on the last minute, before I got stuck there. Part of me stills regrets that I came back lol
It's hard to imagine how much I could earn online. Now I am working 40 hours a week, working online besides. But I am tired after a day's work. Could I work for 20 hours online? We will never know till I do it. Inspirational video Brett. Cheers.
The monthly expenditure isn't my concern. It's having enough money in the bank for a long term visa. My monthly income satisfies the requirement. Don't they want you to be able to show $10,000 in a bank account? Or do you just have to prove income? Thx
really good content bro and very honest. I live in the south of the UK after living in Australia and fins it almost impossible to live where a small flat would cost you £800 a month not including bills. Im currently building a UK business along side this youtube channel which with 5,000 subs earns me 800$ passive atm as well as a patreon and other side hustles.
This is great Brett. So I could come if I quarantine in some hotel for two weeks? I have been vaccinated with the Pfizer Covid series. Do they take that into account?
I got a noisy bird too. Freakin PITA. I'm told Thais call it a "Nok Ka Wow". See my channel on YT at (t5taxi) for a 06:30am film I did about it recently.
I love the bird's call, as it reminds me I moved my life to somewhere amazing with a warm climate, and am no longer stuck in a cold and miserable country.
Brett, I’d love to hear about your sales funnel since you live in another then where your clients live. How do you service your clients with your current time zone and how do you consistently get business?

How did you learn Thai? Workbooks or did you go to a tutor?
It's not like you stupidly think. Every country has its own reasons.
Great advice . Chiang Mai is one of the areas that I'm interested in once this virus crap is over. Stay safe man.
You think this virus crap is going to be "over" never my man..it is too politically useful
Well escaping Australia may be the most complicated part

Beautiful natural sounds. Can't believe it bothers you. Would love to wake up to that.

In the long run it can be a bit annoying. I know from experience.

My boyfriend and i really want to move. We are stuck in the states. We tried saving up at least 5,000 for our move but i lost my job and we lost most of our savings due to a car accident. I want to move so bad but work is so hard to come by in the states. Im praying we get enough to leave
I’d be there tomorrow, but the trouble and strife and kids stuff it up for me. I’ve always loved Britain, but Britain doesn’t love me anymore.
Yea 15 years in same job definitely missable been back and forward to Thailand this 6 years , still in 30s , great bit of advice pal 🙏👍just need be bit better wit online stuff
Good advise.. I WAS coming but just started a 5 month dental implant process.. so delayed until August. Curtis in Las Vegas
I'm from the UK also and planning to move to Bangkok this October but my main concern and stress is over what visa to get. Just seems like a money trap or complete stress that's always going to tie me down somewhere also with the risk of not getting renewed
Which visa did you get then mate?
Bro, thank you so much
you are the man and you are so right
I thought it's hard to find a job online but I never did what you are saying reaching out to 100-200 employers and actually trying
Fuck knows how did I convince myself with the idea of being so hard
thank you dude
such a refreshing take...people realy do make it complicated for nothing!
My biggest hurdle is sifting thru the bs on a pathway down the life of working online successfully.
So do you have to pay any taxes in Thailand?
I want to do this,but don’t understand what 1 client means,,what am I doing,for the client
DIFFERENT FOR EACH CLIENT
How to get the least expensive health insurance? The consulate states expats living there must have health care coverage. Pacific Prime and Cross are less until elderly years (after 75) then takes closer to 1000.
I never thought it was hard to move to Thailand, at least any other year.
The pandemic has changed everything though, and a lot of countries are closed to tourists until mass vaccination is in place. Maybe by the end of 2021
opposite of me, I randomly got stuck in Vietnam 2019 December when the bug came, luckiest shit ever. Never made so much money after taxes/expenses ever. I don't wanna leave.I use less then 1/3 of my salary and live great a good life! :)
@@andreasrnning2339 Damn man I was in the same situation as you but in Chiang when the bug hit last March. But I decided to come back to Australia on the last minute, before I got stuck there.
Part of me stills regrets that I came back lol
It's hard to imagine how much I could earn online. Now I am working 40 hours a week, working online besides. But I am tired after a day's work. Could I work for 20 hours online? We will never know till I do it. Inspirational video Brett. Cheers.
What’s the visa situation in Thailand? Come in on a special tourist visa for 60 days, renew for another 30 days ...then what????
Thank you Brett.That bird is in my mobile ring.
Great video ! What if i am not familiar with making money online ? I never had a job online and dont know how and where to start. Lol
Thanks Brett for the advice 😀👍
Thanks for your common sense approach to solving problems.
Watch out for that dengue! Great video man! Got me thinking again.
The monthly expenditure isn't my concern. It's having enough money in the bank for a long term visa. My monthly income satisfies the requirement. Don't they want you to be able to show $10,000 in a bank account? Or do you just have to prove income? Thx
really good content bro and very honest. I live in the south of the UK after living in Australia and fins it almost impossible to live where a small flat would cost you £800 a month not including bills. Im currently building a UK business along side this youtube channel which with 5,000 subs earns me 800$ passive atm as well as a patreon and other side hustles.
Keep it up
This is great Brett. So I could come if I quarantine in some hotel for two weeks? I have been vaccinated with the Pfizer Covid series. Do they take that into account?
I remember living in Thailand and hearing that bird at 0:17 every morning and sometimes during the day too lol
❤️ that bird is in all over in Thailand 😂 you can hear everywhere its voice. Its a cuckoo family 😂
It's a c***
I got a noisy bird too. Freakin PITA. I'm told Thais call it a "Nok Ka Wow". See my channel on YT at (t5taxi) for a 06:30am film I did about it recently.
Whatever that bird is... We have it here in Australia, the exact same bird... I hear them all the time.
@@DoubtingThomas333 The one in the video is an Asian Koel. In Australia we have the Eastern Koel. Closely related.
I love the bird's call, as it reminds me I moved my life to somewhere amazing with a warm climate, and am no longer stuck in a cold and miserable country.
Brett, I’d love to hear about your sales funnel since you live in another then where your clients live.
How do you service your clients with your current time zone and how do you consistently get business?
Simply forget about normal bed times and regular 8 hour days with commutes.
