- We retired to Koh Samui, Thailand from Tokyo, Japan 3 weeks ago! We are learning everyday. In Episode #5 we cover a Day in the Life; what actual retirement on Koh Samui looks like!
In this one I let my humor run free and play. Don't take me too seriously, or you won't get the jokes!
If you are in Lamai stop by J & B Coffee House for some great coffee and excellent food!
And hey, if you have not yet subscribed then do it today! And write a comment and let me know if you enjoyed the video!
Thanks,
Ed
Do you know the reason why there are dogs at the door at 7 eleven? Because of aircon, people go in and out let the cold air leak. Dogs love cold air ;)
Ahhh, good one, but I think they like free sausages more!
Try not to break anything (yoga) 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, that's kind of how the body works over 50. Still love yoga even though we took two years off (covid). Feeling stronger lately and loving life!
Thanks for joining us, CK - and thanks for getting my sense of humor!
Looking forward to your future comments (as my sarcasm is all over the screen here).
All the best,
Ed
Congratulations on the retirement. 711s in Thailand are awesome.
Oh Yes, So many things about Thailand are AWESOME. Thanks for viewing, Alex!
The unique of Thai 7-11 is we have dogs guarding in every branches around the country
"Guarding!" That is sooo funny! I'm not sure who trains these "guards" but they might want to rethink their approach! These dogs are all about love or running away.
Welcome to Thailand.... of all the places....why Samui,Thailand..??
Hi Je,Thailand is full of beautiful places, no doubt but for us Samui felt right. So far it’s turned out to be a great choice!
What other places would you recommend to retire in Thailand?
@@edandtomo Considering factors such as convenience (transportation hub, department stores, variety of food choices), health (good available hospitals), and EXPAT community, there are other places I would recommend 1. Chiang Mai 2. Huahin 3. Krabi 4. Pattaya 5. Phuket.
In terms of cost of living #1 & #2 are more affordable than #3 #4 & #5. This is only my personal opinion. And I am Thai.
@@mchaisoccer Wow - thanks for sharing all your thoughts. We haven't spent a lot of time in those other places but have been to all but Chiang Mai. (which we are thinking to checking out in November).
I guess the bottom line is: we had to start somewhere and we were attracted to the "island life". After a year or so, we might decide to go and check out another part of the country but for now, we really enjoy it here.
Your points are well taken and I really appreciate you sharing them.
Ed
One thing you can bank on in Thailand...Always dogs outside.
I think the 7-11s here in Japan would definitely benefit from having dogs outside!
OMG - could you imagine!? Soy dogs in Japan! It would be "Breaking News" on NHK! And there would always be 1 Jerk who would kick the poor dog!
I had the idea of wanting to move out to Thailand for a year until I read that they only offer visitors a 2month visa.. and Canada only offers us to leave the country for 6months. It’s disappointing.
How are you able to stay out of your country and into Thailand for such a long period of time?
Dear Alexandre, We are very lucky that we had the money to allow us to make this decision but the answer to your question is three words Thai Elite Visa.
I really appreciate you commenting and hope to see you here soon!
Thai Elite Visa…PRICEY
@@ThuyPham-lr5dc For sure, but when averaged out over 5 years and considering the benefits we decided, for us, it was worth the expense. Can't speak for anyone else on that.
We have the 20Y option - very good cost/benefit ratio IMHO. Greetings from North Thailand! And nice editing, mate 👍🏼
@@NorbertHurni Totally agree, Norbert. Much appreciate the kind comment. All the best to you!!
Ed
The dogs at the end were so cute!
I just had to put that in. They were just hanging out there in front of the store. Too cute!
This is hilarious! Love your videos!
Excellent! Glad you enjoy them and thank you for subscribing!!
I loved Lamai but couldn't stand Chaweng and would never go there when I lived in Ko Samui I still live in Thailand though.
Yeah we like Chaweng for the restaurants and markets but not likely that we will be buying or renting there, too congested for us.
Hello, Ed and Tomo. We love your video just see you from Lily Life. Hope one day we bump to each other somewhere in Koh Samui. We moved here for about 6 months. 🙏🏼😃
Hi Kate,
That would be great if we ran into each other! We love it here and have met some very nice people thus far. Where did you guys move from?
Please say "hi" when you see us!
And thank you so much for subscribing to our little channel. I hope you find it entertaining.
Ed
@@edandtomo Hi, yes! Sure we will. We moved from Phuket and before that from Bangkok. A bit moving around. Can't wait for your new video.
Aloha.. Enjoy your retirement.. I too retired but I am in Las Vegas and retired in my hometown of Oahu,Hawaii…. sending you and your beautiful wife many Blessings with ALOHA GOD BLESS
I used to go to Vegas for work (trade shows) back in the day. Loved seeing the shows when I was there Circ.'s 'O' was a memorable one.
Gotta keep that sunscreen handy though!
Be well, Jaylene.
Should adjust your sound level of the music..
Leave the same volume as your speech..
Think this is the third one I watch so far n every time I have to lower the volume when the music come which is PIB!!
Just a suggestion since heard u r kinda new to this..
Saw you from Lilly 's chanel..
Thank you, Jenny! I'm using headphones now as part of the 'final edit' for each video so, fingers crossed the newer videos won't have that issue for you. That being said I do use music as an emotional cue for the viewer and there are times I want it to crescendo.
I appreciate you taking time to give that feedback!
Ed
The roads in Koh Samui look great and the views along the way are beautiful. 😲😊🤙
55555 Dog Porn 🤭☺️😅
Yes, they did a lot of road work over the pandemic and also buried most of the electrical lines in Chaweng. The hills between Lamai and Chaweng are much better now.
Glad you got my sense of humor on the dogs and were not offended!
Thanks 🙏
I dream of retiring there in 2 years. Is it safe for a female?
YES! Samui is very safe.
I love the ocean, the sounds of water moving calms my soul.
Next up is Silver Beach, Toni (tomorrow). I think you will approve ;)
Amazing we want to go to Thailand too again and forever. If you had tips we they thank you. We come to Koh Samui, in February 2023 to search some place for the rest of our life. Best wishes to you Siri and Uwe
Awesome, Uwe! Thailand has been such a great fit for us (so far). We really love it!
Very much appreciate you joining our channel and for the kind comment. We gained a lot of new viewers over the past couple of days and will be covering a topic next Saturday that I hope will be of help and entertainment to folks just like you and your wife.
All the best in your preparation and wishing you a happy holiday season!

@@edandtomo Hello Ed we hope to see you too on our Chanel . We want to show the people, what they can learn if they travel. And what the best is, for our life. See the world and learn from other people. Best wishes Siri and Uwe.

Beautiful Sunset 😲🏝🏖🌅🌄
Yes it was. I think it was the day after a bit of rain and the sky was just beautiful that next night! Living close to a beach is such a daily blessing.
Thanks for viewing!!!
Beautiful beach 🏖
Yes, Lipa Noi is my favorite beach to visit on the island.
Thai 7-11….Soi Dogs and hot dogs
A match made in Dog-heaven!
