If i had a good job i would move over there asap. I wish you all the best man. Enjoy the land of smiles.
Thanks! If you got any remote job making $20/hour or more, you’re set (imho). I’ll be addressing income in the near future. It doesn’t take much here if you’re making Western money. Everyone has different lifestyle standards though. I wish you the best 🙏🏾
Great vid! I'm about to make the same move from CA to Thailand in a couple months too!
Thank you! We just subbed your channel and watched your videos. We’re happy for you! Let’s stay in touch.
Hi there, I know all of the Pam's. We grew up together. I am Kim's older sister. You all stay safe!!
How’re you doing!? Thanks for reaching out. I appreciate that! 🙏🏾
You and your wife are such Amazing people so brave to go to a foreign country and live your best life god bless y’all I will be following y’all brother
Thank you for your kind words and support. We’re grateful for the opportunity to do what we’re doing. Be blessed 🙏🏾
One day it will be a reality for me. But for now I have a few more goals to accomplish here in the US.
We can’t wait to follow along on your journey. We love you guys!
Thank you! We love and miss you guys!
Great to see that you've arrived in Thailand it's been partially my home for the last 22 years.
living here I agree with what you're saying there are extremely positive and good things
You have to make Thailand your own and don't listen too much to other blogger's..
Enjoy..thats what life is all about.
Thank you. Wow. 22 years! Goals! Yes, this place is amazing. To each their own I guess. It’s not a perfect place but it’s perfect for us right now. We love it and we’ve only explored .0001%
I never commented the first time. Dope content and thank you so much for sharing this!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Appreciate it!!
Looking forward to retiring to Thailand in about 5-6 years. Until then, I make frequent trips
Awesome! That time will come quickly. I wish I would’ve visited before.
Wow you are so awesome!! I have always wanted to live abroad and I do still feel like this is something that I want to achieve in my life, so thank you for your thoughts! Can’t wait to keep watching!
Thank you Irene! It’s definitely a life changing experience. I also can’t wait to share more. Thanks for your support!
Congrats on the move…lifting up prayers for you and your wife for the transition and TH-camr success. November - February are perfect month’s to start there. March - May hot, hot, hot. June - October rainy and humid. I’m planning a trip April - July and considering Jomtien, west of Pattaya, that has a long walking path along the beach and is a lot less of the Pattaya hustle and bustle.
Thanks a lot for this comment! We’re blessed and taking things day by day. 🙏🏾 Yes. We moved in June and it was HOT! I kinda liked it and hated it haha. It was something new. That’s great to hear. April should be nice. I’m loving December!
Move and retire in Thailand is a good idea but don't settle in Bangkok, touristy price, crowed and lots pollution. Try an isolated island such as Phang ngan island (the center of digital nomads), Samui island if you want some quite lonely place with no tourists, try Samet island or the North of Thailand like Chiang mai which the living cost are much cheper. Avoid Phuket, the most expensive cost of living in the country there is no taxi meter in this province, the taxi start at 500-800 Baht.
Haha. Thanks. I love Bangkok. I’m a city man. I love remote locations and everything you named but I’m a city man. I need to be in close proximity to the city. Thankfully it’s easy to get around Thailand.
ประเทศไทยยินดีต้อนรับค่ะ🇹🇭😊

Southeast Asia is great! It's my favorite region in the world. I'm in my mid-60s and started going to Thailand almost annually since back in the late 1990s. Bangkok is my favorite city in the world. I have also been up in Northern Thailand, but never had a desire to go to the beach areas of Thailand. I've heard it's a different vibe there compared to Bangkok as friends have been to those beach areas a lot. I like being in the big city with lots to do.
The last time that I came home from the region was in Feb 2020. I had been gone since Dec 2019. I also like Singapore, Malaysia (Penang), and Indonesia (Jakarta over Bali) as far as Southeast Asia goes although I've also been in other parts of Asia. I'd like to get to Vietnam. I had planned to go to Vietnam from Singapore, in Jan 2020, but decided to stay in Singapore for two weeks before flying back to L.A. due to being in the middle of the beginning of the Covid situation as it started in 2019.
It's good that you've decided to just take a breath and try out something new, regroup, and then decide where you want to be. I started traveling the world solo, as a teen in the early 1970s and have been on all of the continents except Antarctica. It's good to get out and explore. I used to be out and about anywhere from 7 days to 11 weeks on overseas trips and being female and solo back in the day wasn't always easy in some countries, but I did it. Mind over matter. And tech devices didn't exist back then. LOL! It was..... think on one's feet and just make it work. Some serious life skills.
I accidentally came upon your vlog and have now subscribed. I look forward to following your and family's journey.
Greetings from Los Angeles
Thank you for subscribing and contributing such great commentary. It connects me to a longer timeline if SE Asia’s greatness and promoters world travel which I’m for. I wish more people were able to or simply decided to if they can. Vietnam is amazing. I want to go back soon but since we plan on being on this side for a while, we’ll get back soon enough. Penang, ML and Singapore are high on the list as well. Can’t wait.
That’s awesome that you were solo traveling. I can only imagine how it was in those days. Still glorious, I’m sure but more challenging.
Respect for your decision! Can't wait to see your next clip.
Thank you! I appreciate the support 😁
Great video, man! Killer job. 🤘🏻
Dude! Thanks! I just looked at your channel. Post more! That’s cool. Didn’t know you had a channel. 👊🏾
@@JeremiahBrewer00 Thanks, man! I definitely need to. 😩
Amazing story congrats on your move. Check out Richie Mac Zoom to Thailand he lives there also
Thank you! Yes! I’ve seen his name pop up a bunch today. I’ll get on it. I appreciate you.
I must say that I’m happy for you bro. Best wishes!!
Thank you my brother 🙏🏾
This is awesome
Thanks bro. 👊🏾
Congratulations god bless you and the family . I'm next in 2024
Thanks! 🙏🏾 yeeeesss! Come through!
I'm here for the content
Thanks bro! Teach me your ways!
It was dope well done
Thanks Battle. More to come!
i've been there many times and will move there in two years!
That’s awesome! Our first time here was in June and we fell in love instantly. People who’ve traveled hear normally come many times in their lifetime. It says a lot about how amazing this country is, in my opinion.
Two years will go by quickly! Glad to hear it.
Wow! So proud if you for taking the leap! From someone who doesn’t travel, May I make suggestions on content?
I’d love to see content on the people, their customs, especially the ones you and your wife enjoy, food, interaction with the people. Do they speak English to you or did you learn their language? Of course, what are the struggles of moving to another country?
Thank you for your support! Absolutely! All suggestions are welcome. Those are great ideas for content! I’ll be answering these in several videos to show real life scenarios. Thanks for your feedback, I need it! 😁
@@adrianaramos495 not sure what the motive of this comment is but being abroad gives me a greater perspective on immigration in the US. As a foreigner, it’s great to be here in Thailand but there are many challenges related to language, assimilation, policies, laws, VISAs, etc. I can only imagine how difficult it is to do this in the US.
That’s good for you. Thailand is nice and good food.
Yes, thank you! I love it here!
Welcome 🤟
Thanks! I love it here!
Bro!!! I would love to come visit!
That would be golden! Pull up! You’d love it here🙏🏾
So good brother... Journey begins 🥰🇹🇭💥
Thank you, my friend! You’re a BIG inspiration for me. I appreciate you brother!
Well done. Great video.
Thank you!
@@JeremiahBrewer00 I am going to Thailand on Saturday for 2 months but planning to stay as long as possible, maybe forever. Please could you do a video on your visa arrangements. I am just trying to work out how to make that happen. Any information would be really useful, thanks.
@@philmacprm that’s awesome! I hope you enjoy it! I can probably do a VISA video pretty quickly. It can be complicated here but getting here is the easy part. 👌🏾
@@JeremiahBrewer00 I will enjoy it ! I've been many times before to most regions so settling in should be no problem, looks like we'll be in Phuket. Look forward to seeing your updates, good luck!
@@philmacprm I’m glad to hear that. Phuket is nice! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thanks for your support and feedback. I really appreciate it!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I appreciate you bro
Church is growing fast there
Ma Bro!! Proud of you man Doing you is what matters 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thanks Bro! I miss you and the family man 🙏🏾
@@JeremiahBrewer00 We Miss You Too Man! Bro I might have to send you some money to open me up a fried chicken joint out there " Fried Chicken So Good Makes You Want To Slap My Momma" 😂 I'm Low Keys Super down
I'm considering retiring there, living in Bangkok. I'm choosing Bangkok because medical treatment is readily available, there are many conversational Thai schools, and the great public transportation, since I won't be driving there. Dating or marrying a Thai man is not a goal. I think this is a great time for you and your wife to make this move because once you have kids, they become the priority.
Yes. Bangkok is amazing. There are very few people who don’t love Bangkok. All of them are in Pattaya or the islands haha. I do like the wide variety of easy access services in Bangkok. Nothing like it anywhere else.
So did we... from Australia..
That’s awesome!
I was there for 25 days for the first time in october. The only thing I have negative to say about Thailand is how difficult it is to stay there permanently if you don't have a lot of money or even any steady money coming in. The Philippines basically you can extend up to 3 years leave for a day come back no limits on how many times you can do it. Highland you can only leave the country to extend two times for certain and you might get away with a third in a year's time but that's it
Yes. That’s definitely a con for sure. They’re trying to keep more wealthy people in the country to spend their retirement or higher earnings. The policies in place make that absolutely clear. We’re currently changing our visa situation right now. (We came and left 4 times in 6 months). Immigration is not happy haha.
@@JeremiahBrewer00 yeah I mean I get it most people that make low income like me don't travel overseas. In fact, I'm the only one in my entire family going back to my grandparents that has ever been to the Philippines or Thailand or even been overseas except for my grandfather in the military. I get it they want people that have money to be there but I mean I'm one of the low percentage of people that make a low income that love to travel and that love other cultures. It's kind of a bummer for me because I love traveling to those places and just because I'm not in the top one percent to me it's not a very good reason for me not to be able to save my money and go on trips
@@andrewbrann6231 Yeah. Everyone’s situation is different. Have you considered teaching English here? How about developing an online trade?
If you can live on lower income, a teaching job may work for you. Just a suggestion.
My wife got a TEFL (teaching cert) pretty quickly got $30. She’s not applying for local jobs but it’s helping diversify income opportunities.
@@JeremiahBrewer00 I've heard of that option but I've also heard you have to have a two-year degree in something. I have like a year and a half degree in industrial maintenance that I've never used but other than that I don't have any extra education after high School. I could easily live there on a thousand a month but I could even do it cheaper than that because I know someone I can stay with and just help pay the groceries and the food because the house is paid for. Probably could do it for $500 a month
@@andrewbrann6231 it depends on the school you’re applying for. The TEFL is your foot in the door. A lot of schools will have you teach a sample lesson (the course will show you how) in your interview. If you have that cert, some school will take you. The income difference for someone who has a degree vs someone who doesn’t could be large but everything depends. I know people with degrees making $800 and people without making $1200 and so on.
My personal suggestion is $1000/month as a bare minimum for someone transitioning. In time you can get your expenses down but up front it’s not so easy. There are a lot of different things people aren’t prepared for when they move here. Simple things but many.
In conclusion, you can totally get a job without a degree. Many expat teaching don’t have degrees. A lot do though.
Welcome in Thailand. If you have questions to Thailand, we will there for you.!
Thanks a lot. We love it here. Thanks for your warm welcome 🙏🏾
@@JeremiahBrewer00 We wish you a good time. We will come in February 2023 to Koh Samui. If you need help for Thailand, we will there for you Best wishes Siri and Uwe
@@uwegrauert7680 Thank you. I wish you the same 🙏🏾. Thanks again!
I am still curious why did you choose Thailand instead of other countries.
Great question.
I can say I’ve always been interested in Thailand and Malaysia but Thailand made the most sense. I think it’s the better country to base out of to do travels in SE Asia and beyond. It offers the most overall.
We want to visit the Caribbean, Africa, and, Europe and South America but haven’t thought about living there. Mexico was in high consideration. Probably #3 behind Thailand and Malaysia.
What kind of coffee do you like?
Hello Sir,
I drink it in every way possible but I lean towards black coffee drinks like Cold Brews, Americanos, and Drip!

Hard to let go, but you chose a great country. Did you buy the 20 year visa ?
Absolutely! I did not. I’ll cover my thoughts on visas in a video or series soon but we’re getting on an ED visa. We’ve just don’t tourist up until this point.
Hey Jeremiah.. Great channel. I'm following.. New Subscriber Here ... Dave :)
Thanks for subbing!
Nice to meet you Dave!
I sold ever thing as well to move to Thailand
One of the best decisions of my life. It felt risky but relieving at the same time.
@@JeremiahBrewer00 I had same feelings when I came here as if I was talking a big risk
How did you get a visa? That's the main thing stopping me.
US citizens can get a VISA On Arrival. Right now that’ll get someone 45 days (and you can extend 30 days).
We’ve do this a few times and traveled SE Asia in between visa runs.
We planned that from jump so I’d suggest a longer term visa like education if you don’t have planned travel outside of Thailand.
Education visa is solid. We’re in that process now.
Mexico should be more appeal for US citizens as it is closer than Asia.
I think it’s totally a matter of preference. I’d love to be closer to my family and I love my country but there’s only one Asia. I think it’s worth the 20 hour flight and distance 👌🏾
How are you earning income
Teaching music lessons online. I also provide other music related services.
In Thailand, a little bit of Western money goes a long way 👌🏾
“Why we moved back to the United States” is the next video I’m waiting for 😂 excited for you both!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks bro! I appreciate you man.

Pattaya? Hmmm... Interesting choice 😋
Pattaya is cool. Coming from downtown Los Angeles we wanted a less congested experience up front. Moving where we did allowed us to decompress. Probably more than we wanted to at times but Pattaya is bomb. It’s so underrated and unexplored!
I retired 3 months ago and been out here in SE Asia ever since. I spent the first 2 months in CM. I love Thailand. It's ridiculously cheap to live there, but the language barrier was annoying. I been in English speaking Malaysia for a month and I feel it's better. Not as cheap, but better infrastructure and logistics.
Nice. We considered Malaysia for the same reasons. I haven’t visited yet but I know I’ll love it. The language barrier here in Thailand doesn’t bother me mostly. It’s been a struggle at times but I desire to learn the language so I guess it’s a part of the process.
Congratulations on retirement!
I heard Thai is the hardest language in the world 😮
And kualu lumpur is cheaper than Bangkok by a bit so it's better imo.
LA is not a good place to be at the moment. Good decision. Welcome to south east asia.
I hate to agree with you but it’s true. Thank you! SE Asia is right for us!
You mispronounced PATTAYA, also you didn't say what your doing for work and no mention of what visa you got and how long. Pattaya is a party place with alot of expats.
Yeah. I only properly pronounce Pattaya it if I’m talking directly to Thai language speakers.
Those other topics are for different videos. I’ll cover them adequately soon.
Yes. Pattaya is that but it’s much, much more.
Sold everything and offered me nothing ! Jk 😄
🤣🤣🤣 we discussed this!
@Jeremiah Brewer Did you move on a tourist visa or were you able to establish permanent residency?
Good question. We’re still in tourist limbo but looking to get a long term visa. Residency is a tricky thing. It takes time or lots of money. They make it possible to stick around but the loopholes and changing rules are something to get used to. 💪🏾
what kind of visa?
We’ve done “ Visa on arrival “ to feel everything out. Now we’re at a crossroads for long term visas. I’ll definitely do a video about visas once I’m through that process.
