Just found your channel and I'm moving to Thailand in the next 8 weeks. I've been to Thailand 5 times and love it!
How exciting! Good luck with your move and your new life in Thailand. Sounds like the start of something beautiful!
I would absolutely never want to leave this beautiful condo, wow this is definitely luxury living with all the amenities that this place has to offer. You guys are living the life there in Thailand :) So crazy to see how you cost of living differs from US to Thailand and especially also in Krabi. So good to see the real breakdown of the cost, thanks for giving us that insight.
We might never want to leave either. We’re getting spoiled for sure!
I love the place you picked. You’re living the dream.
Thanks Donna! We really are! We feel so fortunate! Thanks for watching!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Great video guys! New subscriber here. Blessings! 😎

The break down was sooooo helpful
Great to hear! Good luck planning your trip to Phuket!
Omg i can just binge watch all of your videos, great content and so inspirational to me. I can see myself doing this and you guys are straight forward and to the point.
Thanks so much! That’s great to hear! We make an effort to get straight to what’s important as quickly as possible. So glad it translates well!
This is amaaaazing!! It was super helpful too how you showed some of the alternatives you looked at at the end. Thank you so much! :)
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed seeing all the potential possibilities and prices!
@@LucasWorldTravel Thank you so much! I thought of a question, if you don't mind: How easy has it been to find places open for short-term or month-to-month rentals? What is that situation like?
THANK YOU FOR YOU EXQUISITE VIDEOS: BEAUTIFUL COUPLE!!
Many thanks Pete! You are too kind!
Thanks for posting this! Really enjoy how you break down the prices AND showcased the places that you didn’t choose - very helpful for folks thinking about following in your footsteps!

wow what a fantastic place!!! so beautiful and having all the luxury facilities!!! pool sauna gym!! the library is so nice too! love seeing the costs too! great video guys :)
Great to hear! Thanks for watching!
Great breakdown! It’s good to know both ends of the spectrum. I always hear about the cheaper end but it’s good to see what the higher end can get you! Thanks 🙏
Thanks, that's good to hear! Glad the breakdown was helpful! We know that not every traveller wants to bare bones their way through life. Sometimes budgeting for luxury is a worth while experience.
Excellent video ~> only halfway thru ~> especially appreciate the cost breakdown. Right on & thank u
Thanks! So glad it was helpful!
You guys have moved a lot! Each place was so beautiful but this one is beyond them all! There's so much space and accomodations, love this tour! The other options are pretty nice too! Enjoy your time there 🤗
Thanks guys! We are definitely enjoying it!
Love how well you break down the cost of living. Your accommodation in Phuket is so nice! Having that lovely apartment plus gym, pool and sauna totally makes it worthwhile spending the extra!
We definitely enjoy using the amenities everyday so it’s a good fit for our lifestyle and worth the extra money for sure!
Thanks for sharing your dream life and the property in Phuket. My favorite feature is the soaking tub and lounger on balcony! Stunning views too.
Yes, that soaking tub is a beautiful feature. David's already tried it out. I need to get on that one though! Soon!
Nice! Thanks y'all!
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your property search!
I like the one you picked ;) great overview of what you can get.
Thanks! 👍 It's been a great environment for us so far. Kind regards from Thailand!
It was my dream....one of the most beautiful places in Thailand... fantastic video and keep it up my friend...👋👋
Thank you so much 👍We will!
Your new place looks incredible. The decor is so chic. I like your price breakdown as well to provide a realistic overview of costs of living there. I think I would have chosen the accommodation you picked too.
Thanks Sara. Good to know your pick! Saving money is great, but we also like to invest in having unique experiences as well. We find paying extra worth the cost more often than not.
Wonderful! Congrats on your beautiful condo in Phuket. I like your showing list of expense costs. Definitely affordable. Well done, my friends 👍. Big like and full play. Take care and see you soon 😀
Thanks! Glad the list of expenses was helpful! Thanks so much for watching!
this video provides just A LOT of value ! Thank you for all the work you did. My wife and I are going to move in Thailand and it's really helpful. The cost breakdown is just fantastic ! Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Best wishes on your big move!
Your new place is amazing! The pool with the flamingos looks so nice. We would enjoy having the sauna and gym too.
Even though the area is more expensive it seems it may be worth it given all of the activities. So glad you are able to get out and dance and listen to music more 😊
Thanks Jamie! Yes, it feels great to have so many activities to explore. Now, we are leaning in the opposite direction. Needing to stay at home to rest from all our going out! Looking for that perfect balance!
You guys are definitely living the dream!
The Condo is absolutely spot on.
Tks for sharing with us.
You just got a new follower.
👋🏻
Welcome to the channel! Hope you love all the travel tips!
All I can say is wow . Beautiful couple 💕 beautiful home as well ❤️😍🔥
Thank you so much guys! Glad you liked it!
Your new accommodation looks so so nice! Love that there's a sauna and pool. Overall love how modern and clean it is. Thanks for the cost breakdown of the expenses. Definitely more expensive but you do get better amenities I think for the extra cost
Thanks guys! We enjoy all the amenities and use them daily so believe they are worth the extra expense for us!
What a good taste! I love your home the way it is decorated.
This condo complex is so uniquely beautiful! We loved living here!
You guys made a wonderful choice! I actually really love the interior paint colors...the decor is very contemporary. I love the pools, the communal spaces, and the gym. And the view is gorgeous! The outdoor bath tub is so nice. I can see why your new accommodations are more costly...it seems reasonable for what you are getting.
Thanks April! It’s definitely more expensive, but it’s definitely good value for the amenities received.
congratulations! what a fantastic condo! I can’t believe how affordable it is there.
Yes for what you get compared to the U.S. it is really affordable.
Subbed! Such a pleasant looking couple!
Many thanks!
Wow, living the dream. ❤❤❤😍😍😍
You guys chose the best.
Thanks! We think so as well!
I LOVE your new apartment, the black does look sleek 👌 I think all the amenities are amazing. My favourite is the tub 🥰 really like your price breakdown 💯
Thanks! Glad the cost breakdown was helpful! We're really enjoying living here so far.
Thank you so much for your videos!
As someone who is interested in retiring in Thailand, these budget and cost videos you make are SO HELPFUL and you’re making me realize I can do this with a partner for a great budget.
You’re giving me hope and helping my heart feel lighter ❤
Awesome to hear! That was our goal. Other TH-camrs inspired us to give life abroad a try. I’m glad our video could inspire you too. Best wishes on your big move planning!
@@LucasWorldTravel thank you. I’m only 30 so it’s years away lol.
But it’s nice knowing the options and how realistic of a goal it can be!
It seems so affordable and like such a better quality of life. I might be young but I know exactly what I’d like to retire to and have so many hobbies and goals outside of the rat race.
I hope I can get there sooner than later.
Wow the facilities in your place are incredible! 😍I don't think you could ask for anything more from a condo complex. What a great find, guys! Looks like you're living the life over there! I can't wait until we have our own washing machine some day. SO done with coin-operated laundry haha
We feel you! Coin laundry gets old really fast! 😂
Gr8 Worꓘ.
Wayyy Kool.
Thx a Ton for the Post.
Glad to hear it helps!
thanks for the video, i have simular ideas for my life,, this helps me believe in this possibiliy. Greetings from europe
That’s great to hear! It is definitely possible, so best wishes on your journey!
@@LucasWorldTravel thanks!!
Thanks for the house tour you guys! As you know we generally stick to hotels, but once we did book an apartment in Bali for a month which was a nice change of pace. The price you pay for us really nice! We had a place for a month that was 400 USD but it was all inclusive of electricity gas and wifi. You guys had a gym and pool, but we only had a pool. You guys do have a luxury experience so it will cost a little more for comfort like you said. Thanks for sharing the other options as well. It makes us really want to go to Thailand!!!
Yes, it's nice to know your options. Paying less is good for long-term travel, but we also enjoy paying for unique experiences like this one. Thanks for watching guys and glad to have you back on TH-cam!
Hi guys. I just found and subscribed to your channel. Very beautiful choice on the condo. I am looking to move to Phuket. I am looking at a nice beautiful beach area. I love the place that you chose.
Welcome to the channel Sonya! We loved living in the Rawai/Naiharn beach area. David did his daily exercise every day at Naiharn Beach and really loved. Plus, there are lots of restaurants and bars in the area. So definitely be sure to check out Rawai/Naiharn when you are looking for a place. We wish you the best with your big move!
Nice work,,😀
Many thanks!
So gorgeous!
Love it, from Jamaica
Great to hear! Take care!
Nice video 👍
Thanks! We really appreciate the feedback!
Not a bad place to be stranded lol :) 0:13 Bob shirt for the win! Great channel!
Thanks man! Got to love Bob!
Very cool
Wow. Nice
i would have got the 1 option if the view was dope. Dope videos and vibes
Many thanks Eddie! There are a lot of good options in Phuket!
Hi! LOVE the video, great filming and voice over :)
May I ask what company you use to rent the car ? many thanks for your reply,
have a nice day!
I found them on Facebook marketplace. And don’t remember the company name. Here’s their WhatsApp number though. WHATS APP++6689 6476133
@@LucasWorldTravel thank you so much!
Wow, nice
Hola, Newbie here!
Love how you break down the living expenses and still show the beauty of the country, as well as real estate options.
Would love to see a video on how you manage to work and earn income while traveling…
Thanks for sharing!
Welcome to the channel! We’re still a work in progress when it comes to earning money while we are traveling. This video explains how we currently earn money while traveling though. Why We Quit to Travel the World! How We Are Paying for Our Travels

Seams like an awesome deal to me, Phuket here I come !
It is a great deal! Enjoy! 👍🏾
Thank you
It's a amazing ❤
Nice and modern.
Indeed!
I am loving the black
So unique and contemporary!
You made the right decision.
Thanks!
Great video! I love your place and the second one in the video. What is the location like? Are there places to go within walking distance?
There are a few restaurants and massage places within walking distance. We never walked though we always drove as there are no sidewalks. We really liked the neighborhood though.
What a lovely house choices you had- and although more expensive, I can understand why you selected what you did. Sometimes space is more important that the dollars. Spoiling one's self every now and then is also important. Good choice. 💖 👍 🎥 🌷 🙋♀️
Indeed we love to spoil and pamper ourselves. If we don’t, who will?
Wow love the place you picked! If only you could not have the car rental and fuel costs, it would be awesome! Loved this vlog!!
We debate the car rental as well, but every time we pass by a motorbike accident, every time it rains, and every time we drive over 45 minutes to a destination, we're like yep having a car is worth the extra expense.
We loved your vids guys, especially the Krabi one :) do you feel you restricted yourselves somewhat to stick to such a low budget or didn’t you feel like you were missing much? Tia
No, it wasn’t limiting. the Krabi property we mentioned was one of our favorites,. It was beautiful, quiet, and secluded. It was exactly what we wanted at the time. I must admit the motorbike can be limiting when it rains. It’s no fun getting rained on. That was the only real limitation though.
Nice place.
Nice, option 1& 2 would have been my choice.
Good choice! Enjoy Thailand!
Thank you for this video. It is an amazing condo. Not so small and the price are very good. Do you stay longer therk? Or are you go travel again?
We stayed 5 months and then continued our travels. Are you thinking of staying in Phuket?
Thank you for answer. Yes we was in Phuket and our favorite stay was in Khan Yao Yai, in Santhiya Hotel. I think you was there tot. Saw it on your video.. I must work 1 year than I can finish and we want to go to Koh Samui. or other place in Thailand, but only for rent. because we want to see much more from the world. Because we think we can learn so much from other Cultures. Your video saw I because we . search for a good condo or house to stay longer. But must bond are very small and we not sure that we can life there. But we life in Germany and the life is in Thailand, more out side not In the room. Had you see the north of Thailand it is very interesting. You can see it on our chanel. There are many Art and good coffee and amazing food there. Where will you go next? Best wishes Siri and Uwe
Awesome find! We have found some great places, but Phuket is more expensive :) We have become addicted to the weekly cleaning, pool, and gym :) Thailand has spoiled us! We would have gone with your pick also due to the gym, due to the amount we eat out :)
We eat it so much as well! It’s definitely our biggest expense! Thanks for watching guys!
I like to see how enjoy life 🕊️🌟🌻
Yes, a little bit of luxury is such a joy. We like to stay at luxurious places every now and then. It adds so much enjoyment to life!
Nice video and condo! :) Where do you rent the car so cheap?
We found it on Facebook marketplace. We also looked on the Facebook group Phuket Rentals so we might have found the car rental there as well.
Oh wow thank you for this information! :)
Nice video guys! Lovely condo. Are you guys paying government rate electricity? Did you rent via property agent? I heard it’s difficult to get your deposit back if rent without proper property agent.
Yes we’re paying the government rate for electricity and we didn’t use an agent. We rented directly from the front desk of the property. We’ve rented several properties and have never one had a problem getting the deposit back. Good luck finding a place!
Nice apartement, start of the visit was a bit akward ( dryer & toilets).😮 Beautifull swimming pool and amenities !!!
What is a good site to find Krabi rental's? and Phuket rentals? I guess you guys use airbnb then. Thanks for the info in the vid, I didn't know Krabi was so much cheaper wow.
For Krabi, I would still use Facebook groups. You can search for Krabi rentals on Facebook and get allot of good options there. I would also use word of mouth once you arrive. We found the best properties that way. I think we go more into detail about in this video th-cam.com/video/oFgZCCo9_j0/w-d-xo.html

Very nice condo May I ask how long rent terms you can get 20000thb/month? Thank you!
We rented for 5 months.
Great video! Are you able to share the names of the other condos you look ked at? Khup koon ka!
Sure! Other properties mentioned are below!
Property #2: Tachawan Resort goo.gl/maps/UPMfEmMy371UyGj17
Property #3: The Proud Condominium www.proudrawai.com/
Property #4: Dlux Condo facebook.com/newdluxcondo
If one has the wherewithal and the willingness to spend, then, by all means the chosen Rawai condo was the best choice. You get what you pay for, with this being the most luxurious and modern option. Most condos do not have 2 pools, do they?
As for Option #4, most Australians would be satisfied with the queen sized bed as this is the default size for couples. King sized beds are less common.
Options #3 and #4 are just too small to live long term, as they are glorified hotel rooms. I would have trouble being in these condos for even a month.
Best regards from Sydney, Australia. 🦘🇦🇺
Hi can I ask for info where you rented your car? Thanks
We found a vendor on Facebook Marketplace. It’s the cheapest place to find a long term rental.
That seems to be a very good rental price for that particular car. Was looking online for Phuket and finding starting rates of 500 Baht a day. Any tips on getting a rate like that?
Yes, we found our car on Facebook. Search for the Facebook group Phuket rentals. We found both our condo and rental car that way. You can also look on Facebook marketplace.
@@LucasWorldTravel That tips gonna save me hundreds of buckolas a month when I return...many thanks! Been away a long time...no Phuket Facebook group when I was last there.
I like you guys and you seem to be happy. I planning to move to Thailand in fall or wilnter. My chinese fiance is still in China, but we're hoping to be together soon.
Well congrats! Enjoy Thailand! We loved it there!
I would've stayed in the 2nd choice.
Yep that was a really nice property. You would enjoy your stay there!
640 is a steal!!!!😄 1136 is insane. This will go up in price because of the internet. You have to leave every 28 days? Maybe you have a special Visa?
We had a student visa so we could stay longer.
Very nice place ..heck I pay $1300 for studio in Arkansas
We understand! Prices keep going up in the states. You can get so much more in Thailand.
@@LucasWorldTravel it’s getting ridiculous here in the states …I’m taking a hard look at Thailand myself. Really enjoy your vids. Good job.
Who did you talk to for the rental contract?
I called the number on their website. Anyone at the first desk can help you. There’s not one person.
I'll take that last condo for a solo guy please!
Yep not a bad option. It’s called Dlux Condos if you are looking!
Please how much is 3 bedroom condo in usd
We're not sure. However, we found our rental through facebook groups. For example, search "Phuket rentals" on Facebook and you should be able to find the group that has all rentals available including 3 bedroom condos.
Did I see some latin partner dancing? Are there salsa/bachata/kizomba meetups in Phuket!?
Yes there are! Look up events at The Green Man on Tuesdays and Fridays and at Mirage on Sundays.
Is it just me? Or are we witnessing a huge shift, regarding people relocating?
I mean, I'm not surprised (I even predicted this to happen).
Because of covid people seem to be more like, F this, I'm gonna move.
*As in more than ever.
Any thoughts?
*The number of new Phuket ex-pats seems to go up like crazy.
We agree! People are realizing that their quality of life is low and that they can live better elsewhere. We want to move for that exact reason.
Are you guys still living there?
No, we’re traveling South America currently.
Pay 12-15 now, pandemic prices
Set your air con at 28
It's impressive that you can live that hot! We're more 24-25 type of people.
How is Thailand and is it any racism over there I wanna live there so bad give me the details in an email I will live over there in a heart beat.
We love Thailand and can highly recommended it as a place to live. We are not big fans of Bangkok though. It was a challenge to get a cab if you know what I mean. We don't know if it's due to race or fear of foreigners in general due to covid. However, we haven't experience any discrimination in any other city. We love the beach life in Krabi and Phuket and can highly recommend those places.
@@LucasWorldTravel Do you have to take a vaccine in order to travel and live there or do you need to take a document stating that you are negative to the coronavirus because I am not taking no vaccine to travel.
Your Uploaded video is a good time.
Ease your stress with a Ukrainian/Russian music video.
R@d Done B0tton. Great Power. aac
You made a great choice in picking Phuket. You don't realize the damage you're doing to your lungs. Until it's too late.
Yes the smoke season can be a hazard in Thailand. We just happen to like the South the best where the smoke is a bit less.
@@LucasWorldTravel Phuket has the best air of the cities in Thailand.
oops, i was like 666
You're brave, Thailand is probably one of the most openly racist countries in the world.
Luckily we did not have that experience there!
