Great video Les,The UK is rapidly turning into a third world country and I’m glad that you are highlighting the demise of a once great nation.
I can't see an easy return to the good old days, ( if we ever had them ) gone down hill since the 2008 crash how long have we been promised Jam tomorrow, were all in it together. Looks like forget the Jam as we have nothing to put it on.
scuse me for correcting you ..the uk is turning into a third world shithole.
Glad to see you back home in Thailand, Les. You have a wonderful life in Thailand and living the dream of many retirees. The true contrast between your home country and your current home in Thailand reflects your correct decision in living your remaining years in Thailand with your beautiful wife. Wishing you and your wife all the best and have a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!
Hi and thanks so much for watching, not quite back yet Jan 13th I return to Thailand and look so much forward for this. Spending extended quality time with my sister and family over this festive period. Thanks for your kind words very much appreciated.
Its expensive because the pound is so low because inflation is so high because we have huge debts.Good luck to you though , I don’t blame you at all.I am happy on the Cornish coast which is not too cold.
The north east is just devastated now , in fact most of the north is I am sad to say.
I am from Durham but have not been back for 20 years because it makes me so sad.People seem to be in a trance because they watched all this happen and did nothing so it’s cause and effect.Allowing governments to grow debt will impoverish you.
This trip to the UK will make Les appreciate his living in Thailand even more when he gets back to Thailand.
What a dump the UK has become over the last 20 years.
I cannot wait to get out to Thailand permanently.
Hi John spot on, this trip will do exactly what you suggest I will appreciate where I live and my lifestyle. 100% grateful to the UK for the lifestyle I live now, I paid into the system and now benefit for the returns. Times are changing people are forced to work longer for little reward. Retirement will be 70 soon.
Same with the US- a dump. Retired expat living here 5 years. Never go back to the US.
The UK has really gone down the tubes: ridiculous cost of living, crap weather (I like to exercise outdoors, forget about that 8 months a year), miserable people, woke nonsense permeating throughout every institution, people just surviving not thriving.
In Thailand, I live in a spacious 4-bed house, spacious moohbahn with its own large park and swimming pool, wide roads, sun and warmth all year, friendly people, exercise outdoors all year round, great food. Call me simple, but these things keep me happy.
Sold Sold where do I sign up for this. When you see the other side then you can see the big picture. I have met a few subscribers during my time here and they all have the same view leave the UK as soon as they can. Thailand is not for everyone I know but life outside the UK is worth a look from everyone. Thanks for taking time to comment.
Woke nonsense?oh dear,somebody has been reading too much DExpress/DMail ..what is wrong with thinking that what you say/do might be offensive to others?of course there are excesses but that doesnt negate the idea itself.Dont be sucked in the Cons culture wars,if you are living in the UK,its just a means of distracting people from the real issues-system collapsing because of their endless austerity,Brexit which has impoverished the country both financially and in terms of opportunities etc etc...just a means of divide and conquer as they have nothing else,no vision for improving society only their own ,and their donors etc,bank balances.
@@robertosborne7542 I hope you enjoy your life wherever you are (genuinely). If you enjoy living in the UK, more power to you. We are all different. I happen to think the UK has lost the plot, and I can compare recent years to late 70s/80s/90s. But to you, you see all of this as positive progress, and enjoy living there. We are respectively where we want to be. 👍
@@farmersmith7057 Am in Thailand now ,for how long I dont know.Personally I feel until we reform our system top to bottom then the future is bleak.I am late 60s but believe in looking forward,this is not my world now in a sense its for the younger generation and by and large they accept things that many people did not when I was young,thats for the better in my book.Tbh have spent a lot of time outside the UK either travelling /working so I am not at all patriotic seeing myself as a citizen of nowhere as May said-not sure if she was aware that it was Stalin who coined that phrase tho he was talking about jewish people.
Each to his own I guess , I am not here to tell people how to think tho its true you might have got that impression! Its up to the individual.
Hi Les. I know you went back for the funeral and then medical issues but I’m at at a loss why you’ve stayed so long. Glad to see my old country and it reinforces my determination not to return. 22 years in Thailand retired and living the dream. Miss a fish supper for sure but at 15 quid I can survive without it. What happened to the UK? Sad to see and for Thaivisa followers who winge about Thailand, send them back. Time to come “home” mate.
Hi thanks for taking time to comment. I decided to stay for an extended time as it was my sisters birthday and as we were close to Christmas and New Year and the fact my sister will not return to Thailand as she suffers from health issues this is the reason. But I look forward to my return home. I refuse to pay almost 10 pounds for fish and chips. I go back to Thailand with a feeling I made the right decision 12 years ago as things have not improved in this time only got worse.
Good luck to you Les, fortune favours the brave
Always lived outside the Box it is well worth it. Thanks for your welcome comment.
I’m working on getting my Passport and then a visitors visa for the time being to see if she can live with me. I have thoroughly enjoyed your video’s. Proud Subscriber here and Thank You.
Best of luck! Howard. hope things go your way, Thanks for watching very much appreciated.
Live the dream Les, good luck.
Thanks Richard back home now in Thailand and sitting on my veranda this morning with a coffee. Thanks for watching.
So great to have found someone from the UK in Thailand. I am looking into visiting alone in Feb 23. A little nervous. Look forward to watching your other videos. I can see you definitely love living there
Thanks for your comment, if you require any information then send me a email and Ill help if I can, no need to be nervous Thailand is a safe place. Best wishes for your trip to Thailand in Feb.
@@RetiredandLivingthedream Thanks, I appreciate that
Looks good but I prefer it in UK...... The cold weather and poverty just adds to how it was when I was a kid.... Home is where your money went
When growing up We were a poor family but never got the vide we were poor not like now. No Food banks or help with heating but we were a Happy Family.
Left the UK 40 years ago, have been back to visit but would never want to live there again. It's Cape Town for me for the remainder of my days.
Les, £1500/month =£18,000 a year is less than the current minimum wage of £9.50/hour=£19,760 per annum for a 40-hour working week. Next April 2023, it goes up 11% to £10.42/hour =£21,674 per annum. Do you remember the days when earning over £20,000 was considered a high salary?
Yes I remember going on strike in the Fire Service for more pay, They are considering it again as are many public sector workers this country is going to the dogs. Shame on our government 6th richest economy in the World and we have food banks and Warm centers for those who can't afford heating. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.
You left out tax and Ni contributions after your personal allowance, £9000 @ 32% on par with £18,000 pa.
£1500/month in Thailand goes an awful lot further than the same in the UK, here your just existing in Thailand your actually living.
Great stuff man, I'm going soo, catch up with ya
Thanks I hope you get what your looking for. It is out there. Have a great New Year,
Enjoy life every day. We don't know tomorrow.. Have a good day.
100% and thanks for your comment.
Wow, your Thai house looks so nice. I really like this kind of scenery. I envy you. I hope you can come back at the beginning of the New Year. Have a safe trip, Uwelcome.
Thank you, I will be back next month.
I couldnt live in exile,Thailand looks nice but id miss my holidays in Rhyl…and i like cloudy skies, too much sunshine gives me the blues..
lol Rhyl never been. thanks for watching.
In time the garbage invader will come for you and take everything by force. They are animals and are not morally updating like the U.K. I’m imbeciles.
The U.K. is finished.
🤣🤣🤣
You will get such a buzz when you're finally back on that flight to Thailand
4 weeks today I will be at my wife's farm in Thailand. A chilly 15 there at the moment in Korat.
Me and my Thai wife (40 years in Norway) both retired and no live in rural part of Thailand. We have just arrived at our property 5 weeks ago. We will commute 9 month in Thailand and 3 month back to Norway (initial plan) but I am not sure if I we will return. Love the Thai life and our kids have left many years ago. We who it turns out. Thank you for your Pacific cross info hence in the process of having my Health insurance sorted. I am on a retirement 90 day visa currently but intend to apply for marriage visa next month. I have to review your videos about that. Thank you. Merry x-mas and a happy new year i wish you.
Thanks so much BNO I'm happy the insurance info was good for you. All the best for the Christmas and New Year holidays. I extended this period as my Sister can't come to Thailand because of health reasons. It will be a few years before I visit again but will visit in the summer months.
Great advice Les,
life’s to short, I’ll be joining the retirement club in Thailand from November next year 👍
Hi, Les I enjoyed your video and the tour of your home and the surrounding areas was great. I can see how you are so in love with where you live. Watching your morning routine getting the sofa and chair and ready for your morning coffee. Now that is a great way to start a day. Your life in Thailand has nothing to compare with England.
I would have been there if were not for the collapse in the economy, stocks, shares and BitCoin I would have been there. Now I have to hold back until the economy recovers. I hope it's not too long as my health is not great. If it is GODs will I will get there. What is the rental on a similar place as your own? in your area?
Take care and stay warm, GOD Bless you and yours. M
Fingers crossed everything you need to improve does so. The cost of similar property's in Rayong is 260 pounds per month. Thanks for watching and for taking time to comment.
@@RetiredandLivingthedream It will improve, the worst-case scenario is I would have to wait another six years which I don't think I have it in me. Waiting on the state pension. Other than my health I have a very good life here, I want for nothing and can do as I please so I am grateful for all that I have.
Take care GOD Bless you and yours. M
Thanks for the inspiration Les..from Stockton and presently living in Ontario Canada..Just about to retire and its off to Central America.Hopefully live out my dreams,like yourself.
Best of wishes to you and thank you for the great videos.Cheers for now,Jim
Thanks Jim, I hope to show people there can be a better lifestyle if you look outside of the Box. Best wishes for your Future thanks for taking time to comment.
From my own experience, cost of living in the main UK cities is even higher than other European countries with the same size.
Yep that seems right to me.
Welcome to Thailand. You made a wise choice!
I made this choice 11 years ago and no regrets thanks for watching.
Hey mate. I live in Australia now but I am sure I am from the same part of the UK as you but I think a few miles west more of a quaker town ha ha. I moved to Australia 20 years ago because life in the UK was getting bad then. I see its just getting worse. But I also see Australia is going the same way, probably very similar in the way we are over governed and taxed. I remember Redcar very well, omg looks so cold. Thats one thing about Australia, I live near the beach and its a million times better than Redcar. I have been to Thailand many times and I can understand why you like it so much. I think you live in the Thailand Dales mate. Enjoy and keep posting please
Thanks for your comment yep I live in a nice part of the World.
I’m Thai and British citizen in UK. I will follow you and go back to my country when I’m retired.I’m so jealous of you.
Thanks for watching very much appreciated.
Normal service restored. Hallelujah 😍🌹💐.
Great vdo led agree with you 100% what the title of the lovely music .its so relaxing .
Glad you enjoyed it thanks, I subscribe to a music Library and it was done a while ago so sorry cant remember the name. but it is not on the main stream music only downloadable via license. Thanks for your comment.
@@RetiredandLivingthedream OK thanks les
If it's June there is almost 18 hours daylight in Redcar , completely different.
100% agree I am not planning on waiting for this. Hopefully my next trip in about 4 years will be in the summer months. I only returned to go to my Step Dads funeral other wise id still be in Thailand. Thanks so much for watching.
Les,
You were lucky and planned well to get a monthly (I gather £1,500 a month net) government fire-brigade pension.
You will feel even wealthier when you get your state pension (currently £800 per month).
One can live reasonably well on £1,000 = $1,200 = 50,000 baht a month in Thailand.
Yes I look forward to this but I will not get the full pension we opted out as a Fire Brigade which affects my final pension. Lucky and planned, not at all right place right time joining the Fire Brigade. I was on Strike as I was working for the Steel works so after 6 weeks of no money I looked elsewhere the Fire Brigade came through. Like I said right place right time and Luck.
Nice to see the, perhaps not so inviting, sea at Redcar. I note on Boxing Day it's a tradition that a few hardy souls go for a dip in the sea.The Boxing Day Dip , participants gathering at the lifeboat slip way. Only 10 pounds to register proceeds going to charities like Rotary and Life boat service,I think. Would make a lovely video though it might be invading peoples privacy.
Please enjoy your Christmas with old friends and family and god bless Tiny Tim.
Some cooler mornings, even briefly down to 19 degrees C, here in Nonthaburi.
I will be there with my camera Boxing day . Thanks for taking time to watch.
@@RetiredandLivingthedream Excellent. soot yort!
Bet you can't wait to get back, just booked my flights for February and buzzing. My wife's coming back to the UK for a holiday in March, she's not been to the UK for 14yrs, she's complaining how cold it is in Thailand at the minute wait till she gets to Durham in March 😄.
My wife sent me a picture with the dog with a shirt on to keep warm, it is 15 at the moment in Korat. My wife wants to see real snow so were going to Korea for a long weekend one year. That should be fun. March should be getting warmer. lol.
Thanks for watching have a Great Christmas and New Year.
@@RetiredandLivingthedream Hokkaido has more powder snow.
@@RetiredandLivingthedream, my cousin called yesterday, he's in Durham fire service, I asked if he'd ever bumped into you, he said he had, small world.
I've a decent teachers' pension, but I cannot stand this inactivity. I don't know how people cope with retirement. The days are so long. How can they be filled? How many cups of coffee can you drink? How many meals can you eat? How many books can you read when there's no particular purpose or end product?
Sorry you feel like that, I love being Retired and never feel bored always doing something every day I never want to Retire from being Retired.
Welcome to warmer land. Great home. ^_^
Just over 2 more weeks to go.
I left the UK for the USA in 1979 for work and I've lived in the USA ever since. I now live in Arizona which also is warm all year. It's sunny with blue skies almost every day. I only have a brother and a couple of cousins now in the UK. My brother lives in the Phillipines 6 months of the year. I have never been to Thailand. I have two daughters I would miss if I left the USA. In any case, the US will not pay my social security (my main source of income) if I move outside the US.
8:08 I bet they're making a fortune at the moment?
I wouldn’t say it’s warm 365 days a year. Here in Hua Hin it’s a bit nippy in the morning this time of year. I almost put a pair of socks on the other day. Almost 😅
Stop it lol 7 weeks here never felt warm Look forward to my return thanks for watching.
I'm currently selling off and relocation to LoS myself, here in Australia its going downhill fast, homelessness even among fully employed people has exploded, and cost of living with it. Western democracies seem intent on destroying themselves
Watching an American Documentary the other day Working Americans living in their cars or vans as they can't afford housing America one of the Richest Country's and people living like this Goes to show what is going on. Best wishes for your future plans Les.
1£ = 41.90฿ 🤨 1,500 £/m=62,850฿ I think😊It would make your life a lot aesier,😊If you live in Thailand☺️ welcome Bro❤🇹🇭
You are right! Lived here now for 1 years and love the Lifestyle I live. Thanks for watching.
Hi Les long time since I spoke Just looking for some advice please Is there a extension lead I can buy For three pin plugs converter to two pin Moving to Philippines soon Also can I take English plug sockets and installing in my Philippines bungalow that I am having built there Thanks if you can advise please
You will be able to buy extension leads that will take uk plugs in the Philippines Yep you can do that, I don't know what the standard of electrics is in the Philippines but it is what it is, trouble you will have is our sockets if fitted will not take Asian plugs. Id stick with the top brands from the Philippines
@@RetiredandLivingthedream Thanks Les for your help
Hope your having a good time stay safe
Cheers Dave I keep tuning in to your progress of the Koi pool and now your pool. always looking good.
Hurry home this place is no fun !! For me Thailand is the future ..
3 weeks today I start my journey home
🙏🏻
I will Les, I feel sorry for youngsters coming thru. Pensions going forward are not very good.
Most of the pensions will be worth little when people reach retirement if the pension fund even exists.
I had been advising clients (depending on circumstances) to cash in their pensions as soon as they can.
Most pension and investment funds have fallen in value by more than 20% this year.
Retirement age will get to 70 soon Work till you drop would be perfect for the Government. Retire as soon as you can.
@@johntheaccountant5594 Uk finished.
I have been watching your videos for a while. I started thinking maybe you should stop telling people how nice it is. I remember when I used to travel to Bali and how nice it was. Now Ubud is full of western style stores like Pandora and it's lost some of it's uniqueness. Now I see the VISA system in Thailand is changing to appeal to those with larger bank accounts. Any thoughts on this?
Of course your correct telling people how nice it is will attract more people, I am trying to show people that a better lifestyle is affordable outside your comfort zone of your home country. It is true that Thailand is wanting Wealthy people to live in Thailand. They are trying to punch above their weight Thailand is for every budget rich and not so rich. Not being a wealthy guy so I can't judge on the quality of the TOP hotels but the getting around the roads, the side walks leave a lot to be desired, Wealthy people want perfection Thailand is well away from that. Thailand kneejerk 1st it was the Chinese, then the Russians and now the Indians.
Stopping or dissuading this years backpackers will stop the Retirees of the future.
Money buys a lot in Thailand but their over realistic view of what Rich people want is a far cry to what is available else where in the World.
In my view Thailand will always be a Backpackers destination and a Retirement heaven for those wanting a simpler lifestyle. Spent a month in Bali for our honeymoon we came back to Thailand one week early, Thailand was better.
Thanks for your comment.
@@RetiredandLivingthedream As nice as Bali is you can get island fever quickly there. It is more of a spa than a destination. I was just pulling your leg a bit. I get why you want to share what you've found. I have been going to Thailand for many years myself. I travel a lot and what I like about Thailand are the options. You can have the country or city life. You can be retired or industrious. You can fly to other destinations easily. There is a lot to like about Thailand. I have had minor surgery there and I always laugh because after the surgery I was asked to visit accounting. They handed me some of my money back and said "Doctor said not so difficult" I couldn't imagine anywhere else that that would happen. Especially not here in the US. Thailand is in the top three destinations for me. Especially for retirement. I have a couple other friends who retired in Thailand. One on a farm north of Bangkok. You seem very happy where you are and I am sure I understand why. Maybe we will catch up next time we travel to Thailand. Cheers!
Les, you should get a job with the Thailand tourist board 😂😂😂
I do plug Thailand a lot because it is a wonderful place to live.
You need a wooly hat Les.
Just bought some gloves. Temp rising next week. fingers crossed it stays mild for the next 3 weeks. Thanks for watching.
HI Les. Where in Thailand did you decide to settle ??
Rayong, very happy there.
What part of Thailand is your home
We live in the Rayong district. Thanks for watching
Why on earth are you staying for 9 weeks Les?
Hi thanks for watching, My step dads funeral, sisters birthday, Christmas New Year and my sister will not be able to travel to Thailand again due to health reasons so my extended stay is to cover many reasons. I look forward to my return.
How old were you when you retired, thanks
Hi Mark I was 50 when I retired.
☺
So when you do get your uk state pension I imagine it'll be whatever it is then (and not what it was when you last lived fulltime in uk?) and yeh chalk and cheese looking at your place in rayong. I wish you'd get back cos no matter how fond you are of redcar, I'm not 😂 Kind of serves as a warning really to make solid plans for retirement cos if you were sending these videos of you having a cup of tea and a muffin in a walled garden saying your back permanent cos thailand fell thru, I think i'd find it all too depressing to watch 😂 merry christmas (don't forget to post a christmas video of you in your santa hat).
Thanks for your comment. If everything fell thru in Thailand then I still would not return to the UK to live I love travel and would live in a Van and explore as much as I could.
My UK pension will be Frozen at the rate when I draw it. 4 years away from that now but as with everything there are legal ways to get around not getting a rise with inflation. I live a fluid lifestyle, go with the flow. What will happen will happen but one thing is for sure sitting in a walled Garden paying 6.50 for a coffee and scone with cream will never be a regular thing.
I moved into a van over 5 years ago. Work schedule was 7 on 7 off, so plenty of time for adventures. It was even more enjoyable after taking early retirement a year ago, but being here in Thailand is the best.
What part of Thailand?
Hi Just got back home to Thailand, we live in the Rayong Area not a big tourist location but we like it here. Thanks for watching.
Where I thailand do you live Les?
I live in Rayong District of Thailand.
@@RetiredandLivingthedream thank you Les !It can be difficult to choose a suitable location as so many great areas in Thailand 🇹🇭
Far out another Pom in lieland.....l avoid like the plague.
Wow the only shop I recognise/remember on Redcar high street is KFC and its not closed down lol its been 11 years since I was back to Redcar, seeing the state of the place it maybe be another. 11 years before I see it again lol
Hi David thanks for watching, KFC is closed and has been for some time according to my sister. The high street is very quiet. The parking meters are not working and are faulty for the past year printing wrong info about the times, everyone ignore them now. I have done a few vlogs in and around Redcar and Whitby.
One problem with Thailand, you won't get your annual pension increase, that's why I chose the Philippines...
Malcolm 100% correct as we speak there are meetings dealing with this issue fingers crossed this 70 year old rule will be updated but there are legal ways to get round this. I did a video on this subject and at a 10% rise and maybe a 7% rise the following year it would make sense to follow my guidence.to those living in Thailand.
th-cam.com/video/LfJcTLIMsUA/w-d-xo.html
Last time i saw your vid you were living in a village . why the change.
I still live in the Thailand village, I returned to the UK for my step dads funeral and decided to stay an extended stay with my sister and family for the Christmas period.
@@RetiredandLivingthedream Oh right thought you had moved to Jomtien.
@@nickjones8867 no still in Rayong. I did live in Jomtien for 2 years.
@@RetiredandLivingthedream Oh right..
Have you ever seen a monitor lizard or snake in Thailand ?
Yep both been seen in our garden and a couple of snakes in the house.
Hi I am looking to retire or semi retire within the next 12-18 months buy small condo 1/2 bedroom easy living quite location Jontinen would you recommend
Thank you
Go and rent for 1 yr, let’s see if you can handle it!
@Alex Arthur have you been living in khonkhen already?
Jomtien is a great location lived there for 2 years. Like the other comments suggest rent a place till you find your feet, try other locations also there is no rush Retirement is great time to explore. Thanks for watching.
If you are on your own; have no Thai wife or Thai girlfriend, then rent for at least the first year.
If you have a Thai girlfriend, then buy a condo in her name with a mortgage in her name and pay the monthly mortgage. then it works out cheaper than renting and she will gain as well.
Rent the condo and the Thai girlfriend, then when the mood suits you can move to a different location, if your happy with the girlfriend then take her with you, if not leave her and the condo behind.
Living the dream, heat, insects, soi dogs, noise, corruption, crazy drivers, double charging dodgy doctors, immigration rules and expensive health insurance - dream on!
And that's just the good points, thanks for your comment. It is not for everyone I know.
First …find a Thai wife who has lived 40 years in Europe….and get yourself a fireman’s pension..
Two English wives one Chinese wife and one Thai wife. The Thai wife is far far better than the other 3 put together.
@@RetiredandLivingthedream , you wouldnt get away with saying the first one was the best..as that comment would take you to saying number 5 being the best..
You go on about retirement etc. and how bad England is, but you married that Thai woman because she is middle class, have you visited the real poverty of Isan? In Thailand there’s no state pension, no NHS, no benefits system.
Thailand is what it is never judge a Country by other Country's standards. It may be a poor country but the people living here are much much happier than most Western Country's. I have seen all walks of life in Thailand having lived there for 11 years.
You'll be back in a few years when you need a care home.
Just don't get a Thai bride or you'll end up falling off your roof.
I have a Thai wife and very happy.
Welcome to the united Kingdom of wokery, get out whilst you can
7 days and I will be on my way to Thailand 9 week holiday was too long for me. I miss the sun and warmth.
Are you going to bury the hatchet and see your 2 daughters or/and your ex wife on your visit or like my dysfunctional police family just don’t talk anymore.
No interest in ex wife but the door is always open for my daughters, its up to them. They know where I am if they want to chat.
Welcome back!! Miss the UK - NO!!!
Almost just over 3 weeks to go.
@@RetiredandLivingthedream sorry, I thought you were back. Stay safe. And warm.
