Good insight to Hua hin
Yes lovely couple mate nice of them to do it 👍
Happy to hear good things about Hua Hin. Thank you
No worries it’s a fantastic place to visit or retire too😊
They mentioned their dogs -- video suggestion: How to Bring Your Pet(s) to Thailand!
Yes nice idea 🙏thanks for watching
We have 2 of those on our channel 😀
Subb'd! Will check it out! TY @@ThirdThaisaCharm
Give the pets away find a good home, why people feel the need to bring there dogs with them is beyond me
Just found you bro. I lived in China for two years and love asia. I am about to make some Hua Hin videos.
Nice one mate enjoy Hua Hin 🇹🇭
what a nice couple......👍
Lovely couple mate 👍
80k baht a month is a solid budget for a couple living in Hua Hin that enjoy a comfortable yet modest life. Thailand is not very cheap if you want to live a comfortable life. You could live just as well in most places in mainland and Eastern Europe with that amount of money.
Yeh maybe it’s a nice budget for sure. 👍
Hua Hin isn't a cheap place. I've seen budget videos of people who live in Pattaya or Bangkok and pay way less on rent but then again, they're renting condos and not homes.
@@inlovewiththailand Ive lived in Bangkok, Koh Chang, Hua Hin and Phuket. Hua hin is one of the most affordable places to live in Thailand. It's prob on par with Pattaya.
Thank you George for great informations about Hua Hin. This year I am going to retire in Khon Kaen 😁
Sounds good glad to help👍
I know not directly linked to the same topic, but a think tank in the UK just suggested that the state pension age be moved to 71 from 67 (from 65 previously for men)😮 🤬
I’m 51 and am working hard in the next 3 years to retire to SE Asia, Thailand being top of the list. Just hope I can generate enough monthly cash flow to help me achieve my dream.
Go for it mate anything is possible with hard graft. Thanks for watching 👍🇹🇭
Do they have miniature golf and bowling in thailand?
How much?
Bowling all over Thailand mate not sure the price maybe some one on here goes. I’ve never been. Miniature golf ⛳️ I’m not sure maybe some one on here has been!
Thankyou George for your expertise on the retirement, but I’m planning coming over very very soon,as I’ve explained, thas my savings now, then I get my English state pension at 67,so that’s to come on top of what I have now, but Thankyou for your reply …..
Ok thanks good luck with everything 👍
We are running about 150k bt a month in Hua Hin. We are fortunate to have a large income and even that amount isn’t half our monthly income. You can obviously live well on a lot less but we love eating out at nice restaurants and traveling. We also have a pool villa which we own but run ac 24/7 which runs about 6000 bt a month. We don’t own a car but employ basically a full time driver. Far safer than driving yourself. I also buy my Starbucks every day! We don’t skimp and want for nothing. Still living on far less than what we lived on in the U.S.
Thanks for your feedback and your experience 👍
Love these cost of living vlogs. They all give me some ideas how other people spend their money. I think for me $2,000 USD a month is good enough to live comfortably for a single person that is not into bars, clubs, alcohol or girls.
Cheers mate for watching glad you enjoyed it👍🇹🇭
Hi there, for a couple looking to retire early and live somewhere like Jomtien or Hua Hin, and rent a decent 2 bed condo not on the beach, can you give an estimate on a healthy monthly budget for the two of us?
Is $3k/month (CAD) a healthy budget to allow for everything such as medical, dental, mini staycations, etc?
TIA!
Great videos btw.
I think $3000 would be a healthy budget for me personally but everyone’s spending habits are different guys. Glad you enjoyed the video👍
Can you tell me what you pay monthly for health insurance and with what company. Thank you
I’ll have free health care from the misus👍
Im in Hua Hin right now 😊
Winner mate enjoy Bintabaht 😂😂🇹🇭
@georgenewmaninthailand2495 I'm right accross the street 😍
I love how Goerge Newman has become the Jonny Carson of Thailand.
Ha ha 😂😂yes I have evolved into something I’m not sure what👍time will tell thanks for watching 👍
Is medical insurance iin the budget included ?
No they said they still need to get that👍
My question to you is I’ve asked a number of sites on you tube about retirement in Thailand, how much money did you take with you from your home country, a rough estimate would be nice to know, but I know it’s personal, but I’ve never had a answer from no-one on theese sites, just say I have roughly 15 million baht @ 63years old???
I think most people don’t just have saving they have a monthly budget that their pension provides for them. Plus no one knows how long they will live for you might live to 100 that’s 37 years which is a lot more than if you live to 80 👍. It’s a tricky one mate that why maybe there isn’t really an answer
HI I'm new Sub I want to go to Thailand
Awesome do your research before coming here mate👍
"Our lawns" 🙂
👍👍
wonder how much would a hip replacement surgery cost in the notoriously expensive US healthcare system
$25-50k, with less well trained staff.
More than here I reakon mate 👍
Now if he just unloads the wife that answers his questions for him, he'll have a great life! Just joking of course, nice folks, if they're happy, I'm happy for them.
They are definitely happy living here 👍🇹🇭
You still in China teaching?
They're not too bad I guess, considering they are from bloody Marin !
What is Marin?
I really dont understand your passion for Hua Huan… the beaches arent much special, surrounding is also nothing special… maybe is quite cheaper, properties are cheaper, malls perfect but the vibe if i can compare with Khao lak isnt enough. Maybe you can see that much different. I am just curious☺️
The area around Hua Hin is amazing especially south maybe you need to explore more👍🇹🇭each to their own I think but most people who live or visit that area love it🇹🇭
Thank god they escaped California...
Is it that bad?
