You forgot another way, but it involves going home every now and then. I used to do it before I got into software and started working remote. You can have a seasonal job in your home country that pays really good, work less than half of the year, and spend the rest of the time in Thailand. When I did it, I made around $10,000 per month driving a truck in the US. Some people make a lot more than that. But the beauty is, you can live in the truck. If you do that for 3 months, you will be able to spend another 3 months in Thailand, and still save money.

I'm planning on doing this as a truck driver, I make a lot of money but absolutely hate it but I can tolerate in short stints. If you're in the trades, you can work 6 months and travel the rest if you go to a country or region with a lower cost of living. If I need money I'll simply comeback and go trucking for 6 months then leave again. Thankfully, there's such a massive shortage in a lot of these trades that you can job hop without consequence because these companies need people so badly!
@@jacksonwhittier3646 I wouldn’t recommend a 6-month stint at a time. 4 months max. Believe it or not, it is much less mentally taxing than doing the standard 11 days out/3 days home schedule. Because when you are doing a 3 or 4 month stint out on the road, knowing that you will have 4-6 months off after that, you have that to look forward to. Not only does it increase your mood, but it also helps you work harder and run more miles. You get less tired as well. As far as companies go, believe it or not, many would prefer that. Because their truck only makes money when the wheels are turning. So if you go to a trucking company and tell them, “I’m gonna roll nonstop for the next 3-4 months”, from their perspective, they would know that that truck will be making money nonstop for that amount of time. I would recommend small-medium carriers for that kind of work though. Stay away from the mega carriers.
Another great video Brett! I did exporting for 12 years from Thailand and I sold things at street festivals in the USA. And you're right, it is a lot of work!!

Very interesting video. I had a friend working in Singapore teaching English (for an international school) He asked me about the possibility of going over there after I finished my degree, if I could get a position teaching maths. It was one option I was considering after getting my life straight over here in the UK, but then, the SUPERBUG came, and turned everything upside down. He lost his job and is now back, working in the UK, living here with his wife and daughter ( he got married when he was out there). He said he was very well paid for the school job. I'll share this with him actually, might give him some ideas about how to eventually get back to the place he loved.
I think also what not a lot of people ever mention is you can actually find work if you just are open to meeting people here, you will need something to sustain you at first but the longer i have been here the more i have been offered though people i have met and that with out even being qualified.
I recommend if possible pay into your home country government pension scheme. The UK lets you do that. One day you will be pleased you did it. I worked all over the place but paid into the UK system and now I am more than getting my money back.

The simplest and quickest (but not necessarily easy) way to start earning an income online for most people, in my opinion, is to start writing blog posts for other companies in an area where you have expertise or interest. It won't make you rich, but it'll give you a start, and probably enough to live in Thailand. You can then use that as a springboard to skill up in your free time, and move on to more lucrative things. I've done this myself thanks to people like Brett and others that have been talking about this model for quite a few years now. Hope that helps.

Hello Brett. I’m a home improvement contractor in the States. I wonder if there’s a market for this here, if I were to do so with my Thai partner. I’m thinking perhaps more so in North Thailand. Your thoughts?
Great video Brett. Also I recommend learning how to trade stocks, options, futures, forex etc not just hodl cuz it's a skill set nobody can take away from you. It's also one of the most sustainable and scalable businesses in the world. But it does take longer to be profitable than say affiliate marketing etc but it is something u can do for the rest of your life. It's worth learning for years to come. Cheers brother!

Brett...I am a network support engineer. Any experience with anyone finding employment in this field either remotely with an international company or with in country of Thailand?
It requires having some capital, but options trading online works as a sustainable way of generating monthly income. There is an edge, unlike currency trading or day trading. Also, there is a learning curve of course and options trading would not suit every temperament.
I have a Kiwi friend who lives in ChiangMai & made his money on stocks & still doing it. He also has a small farm with some traditional Thai style buildings doing AirBnB. Been there over 35yrs & speaks perfect Thai? he started small & worked up......My thoughts if youre gonna live there learn Thai!!!!!!

Yes, I will let you know how the idea of freelancing in my case will unfold :-)
Brett, did you end up killing that one loud ass bird? Where did he go?
Hello Brett. I’m a home improvement contractor in the States. I wonder if there’s a market for this here, if I were to do so with my Thai partner. I’m thinking perhaps more so in North Thailand. Your thoughts?
You will never be allowed to work here in that field. Any Thai contractor can do that work. Didn't you see the video??
The most popular way in my experience is teaching English online.
Native speakers are preferred.
Easier said than done. Unless you have a system, most students will get bored with your online classes and quit after a few lessons.
Brilliant 👌 Try visit philippines lot of fun of philippines for more content 😊 keep safe always stay healthy
It doesn’t even come close to Thailand 🇹🇭
Great video Brett. Also I recommend learning how to trade stocks, options, futures, forex etc not just hodl cuz it's a skill set nobody can take away from you. It's also one of the most sustainable and scalable businesses in the world. But it does take longer to be profitable than say affiliate marketing etc but it is something u can do for the rest of your life. It's worth learning for years to come. Cheers brother! Great channel overall 👍😃
Hey rock star...R U in Thailand?
Lmfao how does it feel being the ONLY species on earth. . that has to pay for permission to live???. . and maintain the division of your own species by constantly fighting over money???
How would someone stand if they had a property portfolio that pays them an income at home?
I feel it's an excellent way to live somewhere else. That's what I'm planning to live on soon. I have 17 rental units, and I'm planning on hiring a property manager. Right now I do all of the management and most of the maintenance.
@@scottjohnson921 thanks for the reply. Where are you based. I have 4 Currently I'm looking to increase mate.
@@Marvin-Thomas05 I live in Wisconsin, USA. I am fortunate, I bought my first one 25 years ago. I probably won't buy any more, but if the property bubble bursts and the prices come down, who knows? I might buy another.
@@scottjohnson921 im in the UK so until we can properly leave the country I guess we will have to remain pen pals 😅 I was going to suggest me buying you a coffee at some point. I hear the property market is as crazy over there as here. My attitude at 33 is if the deal still works out go for it. Otherwise just sit and wait. Experts are predicting this to go on until next year. However they aren't always right.
i plan on living in south east Asia of my property portfolio in the next few years. i manage and maintain my 6 property's myself atm but will get someone to manage when i move. I'm Australian.

Random one..... But do you know anyone who exports Motorcycles you could put me in contact with? :-) I have a bike in mind I want but its only currently in the Thai/Japanese market
No, sorry I don't. Maybe try posting in some Facebook groups.
@@brett_dev Cheers, have tried a few and been fruitless, I'm headed there end of the year so worst case I wait and do it myself 😂 Appreciate the response 👌🏽
@Mike R Not sure if this is a real one, I have found this bike exporting company on Facebook. I did my search using the keyword in Thai. You may check and see if this company can help you. Good luck.

That sounds super complicated. Each country has different emissions standards etc.
BRET WHATS HAPPEND TO DAVE FROM BANGKOK DIARIES, WORRIED ABOUT SOMEONE WHO I KNOW AS A FRIEND ON HIS CHANNEL.
What happened? Already 2 months without post any video?
Hi brett like to live in Thailand would 20million baht last me ten years at least with pension from Scott new Zealand thank you
Your question makes no sense without context? How many people? Do you have a frugal lifestyle? Entertainment expenses?
umm invest that and let it pay you out monthly and live comfortably, hopefully
Have you ever come across Serene Lake in Chiang Mai? An exclusive looking gated community with condos, I seen an apartment for rent there for 9000 baht and it seems too good to be true?
Sounds about right. I've never seen an apartment listing that was false.
Brett...I am a network support engineer. Any experience with anyone finding employment in this field either remotely with an international company or with in country of Thailand?
Same here. I`m a network/Windows Server admin.
as a broke slav myself i will never have chance to compete in thailand
What about chefs?
A Thai only job, unless you have a very specific skill, sushi chef etc. Even then someone has to offer you a job and usually Thai wages
Some of the big 5 star hotels will hire international chefs but you’ll need to be top level and experienced.
Coming to Bangkok in October.. looking forward to building my brand and future. Hope to collab with you one day Brett 🤙
It requires having some capital, but options trading online works as a sustainable way of generating monthly income. There is an edge, unlike currency trading or day trading. Also, there is a learning curve of course and options trading would not suit every temperament.
I have a Kiwi friend who lives in ChiangMai & made his money on stocks & still doing it. He also has a small farm with some traditional Thai style buildings doing AirBnB. Been there over 35yrs & speaks perfect Thai? he started small & worked up......My thoughts if youre gonna live there learn Thai!!!!!!
Mate, can you take me under your wing? My biggest wish is to pull myself out of this dark hole called rat race 😔 I feel like I am dying every day and I am stuck but I don’t know where to start…
Give us sign of life mate... r u alive?
Where is Brett?
Not gone anywhere mate, just taking a break 😄
I just came here to ask the same thing lol.
@@Chris-wx3kp he commented back he’s taking a break. Hope to see more video soon!
Looking forward to hearing your latest when you return mate..
@@brett_dev Looking forward to your next video. Cheers!
Well I enjoy Thai fried rice. If you could find some ways to produce and preserve instant Thai fried rice during long distance transport , that might bring an exorbitant amount of $$$$$$$$$$$ . Healthier than instant noodles, and more tasty, and more hunger-resistant. 😅😅😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

If someone gave me a bar here in Thailand,I’d give it too someone else.
I know to many who have been shafted over.
