Bruh the only regret you could possibly have is that you didn't make that move sooner but as fate would have it.... your timing was just right 👌 !!
Well done mate! My compliments to you!
I made that same decision 10 years ago and have never regretted it. Met my wife and married after 6 years. Bought house in Khon Kaen and have never been so happy or feeling so blessed as I do now. My daughter (from my wife's first marriage) who calls me Papa, is in her final year at Mahasarakham University studying at the Faculty of Fine and Dramatic Arts (Thai Dance) I am very proud of her and her achievements. The last time we went back to UK was 2017 and I must say I don't really miss it (except perhaps for the beauty of the four different seasons) We were intending returning for my 75th birthday next year, but as air fares have gone up so much, it looks as though we will have to save up for a few more years, especially if the £ continues to drop against the baht and the $ ! 🙂 You are right to be wary of people, as some are not what they seem, however, I have found most Thai people, (and other nationalities), to be very pleasant and anxious to help, even at Immigration 🙂 If you can stand the heat and not get too uptight about anything, adapt slowly to the differences in culture and food, than Thailand is for you. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts Joe, another great vlog. God bless you both 😀😀🙏🙏❤❤
Thank you 🙏 for sharing your story. God bless!
Best vid to date
Your positive lifestyle is the reason I follow you guys. I have been to Thailand 3 times (1 month each time). My last time was in April 2022. After returning to the US, I decided to sell everything and put my house for rent. I'm moving to Thailand on October 17th YAY!!! I hope to meet you guys as I will continue vlogging and my goal is to meet other TH-camrs like yourself. All the best!
Thank you 🙏
Congratulations on your 4 years in Thailand. It's nice to hear you looking back and counting your blessings. I wish you both well for your future together.
Thank you 🙏
I really don't understand why and how someone can insult or even criticize a guy like you, who has been so brave to completely change his lifestyle, starting a new life in another continent at your age... and having been so successfull. Only congratulations for you Joe, you are such a great source of inspiration. Hope one day I could meet you in person and find the way to follow your steps. Wish you and Gift all the best
Nobody gets a free pass in this life.
Everybody is a target for criticism, especially if they are in the public eye and attempting to improve their lives and the lives of others.
But criticism doesn't have to be a bad thing; it can motivate and liberate your thinking to attempt to accomplish even more.
Nobody is perfect...not even good old Foreigner Joe. 😆
Thank you 🙏
If you have money coming in every week or month then its not hard it's actually very easy as long as you have cash in Thailand you can do anything and I'm talking from experience it's not a big deal to retire in Thailand.
Hi Joe and Gift. So you have an Insta? We’re heading to Koh Samui at the end of October, if you guys are are around, it would be great to get a coffee or a beer.
This is my first comment ever on TH-cam. My wife and I watch your videos and very much enjoy your stories. Keep up the good work, keep it going, enjoy your life! Thank you !
Richard and Nikki
Joe you have inspired me to come out for a 4 month trial coming out very soon great to see it has worked out so well for you and Gift. Your videos and views of life along with some of your mates over the years planted the seed for this trip i know i will learn a lot even though i have been out there for several trips pre covid thanks.
Glad you are enjoying your stay !!
Hopefully PKK will be safe from the rainy season floods that many parts of Thailand are encountering now
Cheers and congrats, Joe. Here’s to many, many more blessings to come. We truly appreciate your and Gift’s friendship. ❤️

Thank you Joe, so nice and from the heart. I'm very happy for you and Gift. I think in life this is how happiness finds you, when you least expect it and you are at your weakest point. If you were not, maybe this would have passed you by.

Life can be one of the greatest and most rewarding journeys that we can ever experience. With the beginning of each new day might come new opportunities to ;learn and grow in ways that we might never have expected, just as your recent four year experience has demonstrated. Live your life with Gift to the fullest. Thanks for sharing.

Joe, I really admire and respect you. Your life story is truly inspiring. Especially for me. I live in Virginia, and I'm planning to go to Thailand and enjoy my life in this beautiful and unique country. I really enjoyed this and all your vídeos. Stay safe and healthy, brother!! 🙏
Thank you 🙏 for your kind words brother.
You definitely made the right decision.!
Thanks for sharing your reflections. We met you and Gift in August of 2019 while I was visiting for dental work in Bangkok.

Hi Joe. I have watched and enjoyed many of your videos but have never commented. This is one of my favorites. I was also very touched, when watching a previous video, by the way you helped Chuck when he was ill while visiting you and Gift. I have been to Thailand a few times and it is my hope, that should I return to Thailand, to meet you and Gift. Whether we meet or not, I look forward to visiting Thailand again. In the meantime, I will enjoy it vicariously by watching your videos. God Bless you both.
Thank you 🙏 so much. See you in Thailand. God bless!
Wow! From the heart, very honest. Huge respect to you Joe

Spoken from the heart
I’ve been following your channel and Chucks channel, and we are definitely going to retire in Thailand in the next 3 years.
Us too!🙏🏻
so enjoy your content Joe, you and Gift are a match made in heaven, I enjoy watching your travels, there is so much beauty in Thailand, you chose well to settle down, not sure where you are located (East, West, North or South) but you seem to be central to much of what goes on. Continue to enjoy life as you clearly are.
Thank you 🙏. We live just a little under a 4 hour drive south of Bangkok.
Keeping it REAL.. LOVE THIS... joe great job man. so authentic
Thank you 🙏 so much.

Great trip down memory lane. I visited the Philippines and next I plan to head to Thailand. You have built the life that I hope to have in retirement. Best to you and your Gift.
Thank you 🙏
Love your channel Joe. Great content. Totally enjoy your low key down to earth style. Currently reTHAIred and living in Jomtien. Heading to your neck of the woods in PKK in February. Looking for a quiet beach town and you’ve painted a pretty picture. Hoping it’s all and more.
Thank you 🙏 so much.
Thanks for sharing the information on legal assistance we are anxiously trying to do everything to get ready to move there. Sukanya will be heading to NYC to the Embassy to take care of her paperwork prior to Christmas and we hope to put the house up for Sale at the end of January. Again your videos are entertaining too but we have found a lot of useful information. Thanks
Thank you 🙏
Awesome journey thanks for sharing Joe.
My pleasure! Thank you 🙏 for watching.
Hiya. Nice video. Good to hear some of your life stories.
Pay no attention to those who are negative. For sure. Some people have nothing better to do.
You have a great bunch of friends. Life is definitely good.
You're a lovely couple. Love to hear the sound of the waves.
Happy 4 years retired. Have a great week.
Thank you 🙏
All good Joe ! Nice you don't dwell on the negatives but appreciate the positives. Having also lived in Thailand for 5 years previously I agree too on the being careful with who you meet & don't assume all are nice like yourself 😉
🙏
