Fascinating listening to your inner most thoughts Tony. So pleased you’re pain free, loving the Thai way of life and mentally and physically moving forward with everything. Best wishes from me here. Still catching up on your films.
@@Vortecks Excellent thoughts. I suffer with severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. Child diagnosed. Over the years I’ve had multiple joint replacements to keep me mobile and working. However being here in Thailand, enjoying the weather, climate, food and the whole lifestyle seems to suit me. Best wishes from me here, back in Bang Saray.
You're so right about the UK its got even worst since you left. You did the right thing, watching you in Thailand is quite an eye opener it looks such a peaceful place everybody seems to smile and are happy.
The more I see about the UK, the more I realise that I did everything at exactly the right time. The new restrictions on people is getting stupid mate. Thailand is all about being peaceful and helping each other, not about ladyboys as everyone thinks.
Wow! The change in you since I watched your video where they put the door on in your flat is remarkable. Thailand is my destination dream since 1983. Keep up your positive attitude. You will be ok there.
I've been here for 8 months now and I haven't had one day of feeling like I did in the UK. All I see are happy faces and people who are ready to help at every opportunity, the people who leave very negative comments about living here are either jealous or they simply don't understand.
Yeah I thought the same you seem like a weight has been lifted mate soo happy for you and I been saying to my son who is 12 that the UK is not fit for purpose so when he finishies school in a few years we are gonna leave cos the prospects for a young white male in the UK nowadays isnt good and I am sick of the bullshit much like Tony was and I have worked outside the UK over the last 20 years off and on in the middle east i.e Dubai, Saudi Arabia so I have seen different ways of life and the UK is doomed the next 5 to 10 years are gonna be hell get out or make a plan now guys whilst you can.
@@1979rhino yeah, ex-south African here who left and came over to the U.K. Now pension age and looking to move to Thailand but conflicted as Cambodia just popped into my YT. It looks like a great place to live without the hassles of Thai visa problems.
I love the UK as a country and there are good folks here. But you are right, the system is broken. Almost beyond repair I fear. But I'll be going down with the ship, pretending the whole place isn't shitting the bed Haha! Just done some bike touring and bloody loved it. Met some amazing people. Looking forward to seeing your trip bud
I totally agree mate apart from one thing...... the system is working perfectly and it doesn't need repair. Think of the big picture and the design that the government wants - you swamp the county with people who will comply if you give them what they want and, in return, they will not fight against the establishment. The middle-class person has a voice no matter what and voices cause problems through the butterfly effect but, if you supress, extinguish or completely get rid of the voice, the problem goes away. This is exactly what they're doing to the British person. Ultimately, there should be 2 classes - upper and lower and that's exactly what the government are preparing for future generations. I'm going touring next month, maybe towards the end of the month to try and avoid the rainy season a bit........... I'm excited 😉😁😁😁
Tony ive just turned 60 and I dont mind saying I cried I am sobbing here mate. I am so happy for you and little did I know years ago when I started following you building electric bikes that today I would realize I am in exactly the same place you were and I need to find some way to be where your are. If I make it I will come and hug you I owe you that much. All the best, wish me luck.
Oh mate, happy belated Birthday and I'm sorry you're in such a bad place. If you need help or advice or questions answering, you can always drop me an email (link in the description). It might take me a while to reply but I can guarantee that I will and I don't charge anything - I've helped 12 people now and every one of them is over here and living the dream in this lovely climate. Set yourself free, do what you want to do and come give me a hug..... Good luck mate, be strong ;)
Cheers buddy. I try to say things as diplomatically and factual as possible and also voice what other people are thinking so they know that they're not alone.
You defo left the UK at the right time. I can't believe how tyrannical its become here in a matter of weeks and with the massive demographic changes going on I think the country we knew has all but gone. Make sure you start learning Thai mate, it will make your stay much richer.
I've never let my instinct guide me before but I'm so glad I let it run wild. I still love the UK (or how it was) but I can't live in a world of tyranny and communism. I said it a while ago that the legal invasion is done by design to demolish the middle class and bring only 2 classes - upper and lower. I'm trying to learn Thai mate but it's harder than I thought. If I spend a day with anyone English speaking, the next day I've forgotten what I learnt but I'll get there........in 20 years.
Wonderful to hear you are so positive now and your life is so good. All that you say is so wise mate and all you say about the UK is so correct and it is so overpopulated. You must give others hope.
Tony, you 100% made the right decision and as for the UK It has fallen. I could go on for ages about the shit show that is happening here, I have been paying taxes for nearly 45 years and got SFA in return(sweet fuxx all). I am extremely jealous of you but in a Bloody good way mate, take care and bollox to what anyone else thinks👍👍👍
I can read your mind mate, I think exactly the same as you. You could pay into the system for a potential 54 years and get sweet Fanny Adams out of it. The annoying thing is, it was set up to protect people, to give them something back in their time of need and to give people hope for the future..... it's a shame but yes, the UK has fallen.
Absolutely mate, I don't pretend that I'm not an immigrant over here and I have the utmost respect for Thai people because they have the same respect for me. I'm doing everything I can to integrate, learn, understand and feel proud to be given the chance to live here.
Thailand is the land if smiles. They treat foreigners well and are welcoming and very helpful. How do english people treat foreigners? Do they smile and welcome them?
@@CharlieWingate1 As a European in Thailand you might get all the smiles, but I wonder if the smiles extend to other foreigners too, like Africans, or Chinese. Anyways they are undeniably more welcoming than UK.
Most British people are welcoming and nice but of course there are those who are not. It's a different situation however. Farang are seen as "higher" and usually with money. Have a look how many (not all) Thais view those from Myanmar and then we'll have an eye opener about how Brits treat "foreigners".
I used to have terrible sciatica about 15 years ago, I’am 71 now and haven’t had any problems now. My sciatica started when I became a taxi driver about 35 years ago. As we get older if we don’t keep active and exercise everyday our bodies and muscles deteriorate slowly over time. I found once I started exercising regularly the sciatica in my legs gradually disappeared. That’s my own experience, we are all different!
It's one of the top reasons I moved here, I drove around France/Belgium/Spain and the amount of times I found myself on the left hand side of the road was incredible.
Great words and correct with what has happened there..yes thailand grows into a part of your life that was just waiting to click into the part of your life that required the land of smiles injection. Glad you made the move...you will look back and realise you beat the dark dog thoughts cramping your mind for a bit....now it's onwards and upwards the dark dogs away..will see ya when I'm over Oct. And check emails...lol
When I look back at what I instinctively did and the things I had to do in order for me to get away, it's a very refreshing feeling that I did it before the breakdown of society hits. Did you email me mate? Not seen anything recently?
Tony your right about the UK being over populated now, you cant even go out for a quite walk to remote places without clashing in to others unless you do it 5am in the morning
This is why I used to fly my planes so early, I like the solitude of the countryside. The population growth is by design though mate, the government are doing it to mould the UK into a country that we don't recognise.
The U.K. is not over populated. Here you get confined to tight living spaces, small, shitty, bland looking houses, no real development, no expansion because the nimbys, politicians, so-called royalty all want to limit your space and freedom. Only 6 to 7% of the U.K. is covered by domestic properties. The rest is owned (stolen) by elites and corporations.
Cheers buddy, I've actually found the same tree on this site - it's hidden behind some other bushes and I wondered what the lovely aroma was. Thailand has a morning smell when the dew is dripping from the trees and the smell of the 'frangipani flower' is now on the list.
I' m Thai. Thailand is not Utopia. We have social problems, you may meet it. However, I still have family, we support each other. By the it is going to change. It may same as UK in some day.
Thailand may not be perfect but it is far better than the UK. I hope everyone resists the changes that the western world keep trying to force on other countries.
Tony wish you the best my friend! I can see in your videos that you reborn!!🥳👏👏 I will give you a "target", something to play..😁 In Thailand they create a powerful scooter company name VELITY.. They are taking about hyper scooter..🤔 If the base of company is near to you and can go ride it, you can give us your opinion about it and maybe they want to give you a job and help them with your knowledge...😉 I'm very happy for you my friend!!🥰
Cheers mate, I appreciate your comments! Velity are actually an American company but they've opened an assembly plant over here which is good for business. I've got to speak honestly but the price of them is way above anything I would be prepared to promote and I doubt that they'll sell very many over here. I can buy a brand new Honda Click or Honda Wave and convert it to electric with a lot more power, speed and range for far less than Velity sell their highest power scooter, plus which my conversion could legally be ridden on any public roads. The roads over here can be rather hairy to say the least and I've been down some roads with invisible drains sunken 3-6 inches which nearly throws me off my ADV. Having 10-11" wheels and far less mass would be suicidal. I'm still in the design process but I will be starting my new project later this year 😉👍
Thailand is a homogeneous nation, vast majority are thais. That's why it is so good. That's why England was so much better before mass immigration, it was 95% white English. Everyone had mostly the same cultural values.
Hi I’m Scottish from Inverness and have lived in Colombia for the last 37 years and can honestly say say I love every day,but we are a banana republic republic in the eyes of the the west but every where you look there is so much construction, new apartments new shopping malls , tourism is taking off, oh I’m so happy to live here will never go back to the uk to live,36 months for uk state pension,they won’t give me a raise after that,not justified , well it is what is it, I hate labour with all my heart how theyy can take away the300 pounds from the pensiones, criminal,I will pass my last days in Colombia but not sitting in a bedsit freezing cold,South Asia has what I can understand a culture like in Latin America, where poeple are respectful, and look after each others, not like the uk where everyone is for themselves, no I will stay in Colombia a country that has given me a family love and happiness,
I agree with everything you said mate. The UK is finished now and it's a matter of time before there's a civil uprising! I've been here 8 months now and it's the best decision I've ever made.
Brother, I understand your emotion and feeling of togetherness but the Thai woman has no idea what the message on her shirt says. Most can't speak English let alone read it. I'm very happy for you and subed so I can follow and support you but I say to you to be careful and be wise.
I fully understand that she probably doesn't know what it means, there are probably only the westerners who do. I was only saying that it's a true meaning of what I was saying mate.
What a load of waffle and dribble, I have been to Thailand many times over the past couple of years. And for the average Thai life is a struggle with little or no help from the Government. The only reason you are allowed to stay in Thailand is because you have have savings to support yourself. If anything happened and you have no money you would be shown the door back to Blighty. You you seem to have a real downer on.the UK 🇬🇧Yes it's far from perfect now. And if you're medical issue was sorted out with a massage then I am not surprised the NHS didn't prioritise you. I am not a hater but a realist. I will return to Thailand for a long holiday early next year. But I would never dream of leaving the UK permanently. Wherever you live it soon becomes the norm.. 🇹🇭
Things are working out perfectly for me, I'm finally out of pain after suffering in the UK for 7 years and I'm eating healthy food every day instead of having to buy junk because it was all I could afford. It's not a choice that I live here, it's a necessity and the people who say that Thailand is a struggle really don't look at their homeland. I was struggling in the UK with ZERO help from the government for 3 years before I'd had enough I'd paid into the system for 40 years and got absolutely ZERO help. I'm a legal immigrant over here and I'm treated better than I ever was in the UK. I will never return to live in the UK......... EVER.
@@Vortecks never say never and to eat healthy costs no more than junk, you just have to do a little more work to make your meals. I really it works out for you, just remember that you have to have an income stream to live anywhere so hopefully you will have enough to stay in Utopia.
That's a very loaded question mate. I could tell you how much it did cost me for everything but it wouldn't help you in the slightest, it all depends on your circumstances and how much disposable cash you can gather. All it's really cost me is the flight out here, the rest is still ongoing but I will do a complete breakdown on how much things cost in future videos. Keep watching the videos I release on a Wednesday, they should be helpful and give you some insight into the things I had to do.
The same thing is happening in the US. The govt doesn't care about the middle class, which supports the country as a whole. And immigration is totally out of control. God forbid I want to bring my Thai GF to the US. I will get denied and have to jump through hoops to get a visa, but people cross the southern border and get everything on our dime. I am fortunate to walk away from it in retirement, but I am worried for my kids.
It's happening all over the western world now, immigration is out of control. It's a bit ironic that I've emigrated over here but at least I can say that I'm a legal immigrant. My daughter left the UK last year because she could see what was happening to the country and I think it's what spurred me on to leaving too.
@@Vortecks that's awesome. Subbed. Maybe you could do a video on how much someone your age needs to have to live on. Just breakdown the costs for a year there. I'd love to go but still 10 years away from pension age. Good luck anyway, and be careful with the ladies and your money
Your most lucky to have gotten out of here , Im still stuck in my errr "rut" or whatever they call it , The country is going to hell and there's nothing we can do about it.
"The country is going to hell and there's nothing we can do about it" - This is what I used to say but, if you think about it, every other British person is saying the same. If we had the courage, we would have collectively done something about it but the government have done their job well and supressed and divided the people that cause them problems. Get out whilst you can mate, you'll feel much better and you can watch the UK's demise from afar.
I am here in the UK trying to make some pounds for my retirement in who knows where. Am from South Africa where things are falling apart. Thought England might be a better bet but now...not a chance. I lived in a police state for 30 years so know how it operates. Back here 2024 and flabbergasted at the draconian way UK is being run. Does not matter if its Tory, labour or Lib Dem they all obey their masters.
It will only get worse mate, stay away from the UK. They're slowly turning it into a communism and no one seems to care. The people who pay taxes have been well and truly trodden on and the government keep on taking.
In 37 and I stopped watching TV around 20 years ago. Its the same shit with a different theme. Thank fuck for TH-cam! The peoples TV or at least the closest thing we have got to one. In currently bed bound with a twisted pelvis and slipped disc. NHS given me an appointment 5 months after I called the GP. I cant even walk to the chiropractor. What's this Thai medical massage that helped you out?
I feel for you mate, that's got to be bloody painful :( The massage I get here is more muscular than anything, they slowly manipulate everything back into place and make sure it stays there. If I feel pains from my back, they will do a more vigorous repositioning of joints but it's very painful and I never think I'll ever walk again (but obviously I do). The other plus side is the cost - £6 for an hour and I need one treatment per week to keep the pain away. Coincidentally, I had a call from the NHS last week - They asked me to fill in some pain management forms before I attend my appointment in November (14 months since my referral). When I explained to the woman that I've emigrated and I did inform the NHS about this, she was all snotty with me and she hung up.
@@Vortecks Six quid, that's incredible. I wish I lived in Thailand, but looking at your recent videos you're definitely selling it to me. I'm not surprised with the NHS's response there. That's pretty much the NHS down to a T if you ask me, a 111 doctor , because my dr was to busy to see me told me to call 111 and they just told me to start with taking paracetamol. I've been in this state before and the only thing that helped was Gonstead Chiropractors, but there are 2 decent one the country which is London and Manchester. Hopefully I will be able to get my friends to drive me from Croydon to the London one. I'm so lucky to have such good friends who look after me because the NHS dont.
@@Vortecks in typical UK fashion , that phone lady will be more angry at you over the appointment, than she will be at her employer or govt for mismanaging the entire country health system . This is UK to a tee
I believe that I have found nirvana, I am now in a place of perfect harmony and peace (in my mind) which is good enough for me. I have very little expectation in life which makes things very easy to accomplish.
Splendid news Tony, now how about a longer road trip where you keep nearly running out of fuel and entertain us with your middle country drawl as you pass your opinion on everything. 😂
The road trip is coming mate - next month I'm riding up to Mai Sai district on the Myanmar (Burmese) border. It's dangerous but someone has to do it g.co/kgs/3fgDpFR 😉
I’m 67 as a teenager i followed my dad with his political views, which was labour, they were there for the working class and probably left wing, nowadays i would be classed as far right, as you talk about. Where did it all go wrong for uk born citizens, i think Mr Blair encouraged more illegal immigration, but even living here in Thailand i think sadly we have to be careful what we say publicly
You hit the nail on the head mate - Tony Blair. Yes, we have to be careful what we say because of UK laws that they randomly keep adding which don't solve the problem. They've already stated that it will get worse before it gets better but I don't know how it can get any worse.
Of course mate - yes, you can use any battery of any capacity as long as the voltage doesn't increase. The '100ah' is the capacity - put 10 of them on, have 1000ah and I'll see you when you get here 🤣
What's happening in the UK and other places in Europe is no accident - this migrant invasion is being done by design. You were wise getting out when you did 👍
I totally agree that it's by design. The next generation will be very submissive and there won't be a middle class, just upper and lower. I'm so glad I did everything by instinct mate, I don't think I could have timed it better.
Good morning Tony, the first generation of immigrants who came into the uk in the 60's and 70's to help with a labour shortage intagrated realy well. It seems that all the other generations after that will never integrate. There are a lot of, for a lack of a better term, pure English head bangers of course. Please learn some Thai and the locals will respect you for that.
The first lot of immigrants you are referring to that came in the 60’s and 70’s were around the fifty thousand per annum and they integrated with the UK citizens well because they had no twisted ideologies! That yearly figure of immigrants continued up until Blair got into power, he was the one who opened the boarders to the UK and it was Blair who also destabilised the Middle East with an illegal war, since that time the UK has been overrun with immigrants with twisted ideologies who hate the Western World and who will never integrate with UK citizens. Unfortunately there are radical far left Communists in the UK who refer to concerned UK citizens as headbanger’s! These radical far left communists will stop at nothing to try and destroy the UK.
David, you're 100% correct and we all know what rel1g1on they were (replace 1's with I's). The people from the 60's and 70's have definitely integrated very well although the country didn't treat them with the respect they deserved. The people from the 60's and 70's now agree 100% with our way of thinking but unfortunately, they're being tarred with the same brush as the ones coming in now. @user-xk5nl4sb2z You took the words right out of my mouth!
hi bud , its the same here in germany .i stoped watching tv for about 1 yr now too .here the migrants get a ton of money and the germans get fuck all help now,its wrong.Stay where you are bud never go back
I will never return to the UK apart from visiting mate, don't worry. It's an absolute shit-show when the government won't listen to or look after the people who actually pay them (especially when they continually increase the amount that they demand from us to give it away to things that none of us asked for). One day soon, it'll all come to a head, mark my words!
Thailand had a honeymoon period and then the real reality of a Farang living in Thailand will set in most farangs not all don't get past the five years later on hitting a brick wall period .
Good point. It's because most farang don't understand Thai society. They're living the holiday life. Thai people, at least the new generation want new everything the same as the UK. You see more new cars in Thailand than the UK because everyone is debting up. There are some great things about Thailand and some bad things, the same with the UK. What changes with a farang when they move to Thailand is their own mindset, they live outside of society, they don't need to keep up with the Jones because there are no Jones, but there are Somchais and the Thais have the same pressures, even more so to comply with society. Farangs could live how they want in their own country but most don't because like all societies there are expectations to fit in.
@Smallmanbigworld1 - I have been looking for the exact things that makes this place different from the UK. I do understand that it's a complete sociative change but I never thought about "The Jones" factor - thank you!
Corruption is embedded within Thai society due to its history and culture, where patronage plays a huge role and those with connections thrive.[8] Research shows that the cost of bureaucratic corruption alone in 2018 amounted up to a 100 billion Thai baht, with state officials at various levels embezzling funds from large and small governmental projects Don't slag off the uk you muppet
Its such a shame the uk isn't a united kingdom like we should be these days but when your boarders are open for the flood of migrants what will happen in the end war its here so sad :(
Spot on tony. in the uk you can spend between 8-13 a kilo for Cheddar, every last squeeze is always there. That just the difference between the singleton pack and the family pack. The UK is a managed society from school to the midazolam shot. The evisceration of critical thought has been breath taking. Now a dumbed down untrained nation is lost a wash with immigrant "workers" to fill the gap. UJk has handed out 1 million NI numbers a year to non eu immigrant workers over sunaks stint in number 10 its been way up there for years. We may have a large GDP but when you dig in UK compared to other European nations we are screwed. it is all about money everything else is meaningless when the entire industry in farming is the movement in a days forx or commodities trading. . Sweden has manufacture and engineering Germany was a power center of engineering and design. But have handed their asses to the yanks in a save the world zero carbon conjob. Starmer is a fraud nothing about him is labour. He is a globalist glove puppet worked by the likes of Blair and mandleson. He probably a spook as well for us & the US he certainly dances to their tune. Its an absolute crab bucket of ignorance and desperation for the majority. you did the right thing mate. And you inspire me greatly. I have a shopping list of health stuff Ive spent a decade being knocked back on rotting away on benefits. I used to have a company and created jobs. I tried to be useful. I thought the system would be there if not perfect. When i needed it. Silly me lol. I am going to get out there and get my issues fixed as well. Or die trying lol. Im so glad you managed it tony. Good on you!
Over here, Cheddar is £10.88 a kilo but that's imported from the UK so it doesn't make sense that they can charge anywhere near that over there. Locally produced mature cheese is around £1.22/kilo. It doesn't have the kick of UK cheese but it's very palatable. The UK government want total control over the population but over here, they balance control against freedom (like it used to be in the UK). Doing it this way causes the workers to earn more, be more productive and supportive to any decisions the government wants to implement. The middle-class person is the hardest to control because they still have an urge for freedom and they fight back. The easiest way to gain control is to create a situation, wait for the reaction and then implement a solution and that's exactly what they're doing in the UK now. The immigration thing is all planned for the future, they're doing away with the middle-class person so they can have complete control and drive down wages (but keep prices high) so they make the country VERY profitable. I firmly believe that I came here at the right time (for mental and physical reasons) before I see my beloved country turn into a communist shit-hole. I still love the UK and I do miss it but I cannot stand what is being done to it. The worst is still to come so buckle up mate, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
@@Vortecks Judging by the last month they are definitely shock and awing us in to the notion it is going to be a bumpy ride! Its only been a month but the change feels as dramatic as the lockdowns.

Cheers buddy. I try to say things as diplomatically and factual as possible and also voice what other people are thinking so they know that they're not alone.
You defo left the UK at the right time. I can't believe how tyrannical its become here in a matter of weeks and with the massive demographic changes going on I think the country we knew has all but gone. Make sure you start learning Thai mate, it will make your stay much richer.
I've never let my instinct guide me before but I'm so glad I let it run wild. I still love the UK (or how it was) but I can't live in a world of tyranny and communism. I said it a while ago that the legal invasion is done by design to demolish the middle class and bring only 2 classes - upper and lower.
I'm trying to learn Thai mate but it's harder than I thought. If I spend a day with anyone English speaking, the next day I've forgotten what I learnt but I'll get there........in 20 years.
Wonderful to hear you are so positive now and your life is so good. All that you say is so wise mate and all you say about the UK is so correct and it is so overpopulated. You must give others hope.
I'm releasing the old videos for that specific reason mate, to give people some hope and to prove that there's life after the UK.
Tony, you 100% made the right decision and as for the UK It has fallen.
I could go on for ages about the shit show that is happening here, I have been paying taxes for nearly 45 years and got SFA in return(sweet fuxx all).
I am extremely jealous of you but in a Bloody good way mate, take care and bollox to what anyone else thinks👍👍👍
I can read your mind mate, I think exactly the same as you.
You could pay into the system for a potential 54 years and get sweet Fanny Adams out of it. The annoying thing is, it was set up to protect people, to give them something back in their time of need and to give people hope for the future..... it's a shame but yes, the UK has fallen.
If the immigrants to the UK had the same awe for the locals that you have as an immigrant in Thailand there'd be much more harmony.
Absolutely mate, I don't pretend that I'm not an immigrant over here and I have the utmost respect for Thai people because they have the same respect for me. I'm doing everything I can to integrate, learn, understand and feel proud to be given the chance to live here.
Thailand is the land if smiles. They treat foreigners well and are welcoming and very helpful.
How do english people treat foreigners? Do they smile and welcome them?
@@CharlieWingate1 As a European in Thailand you might get all the smiles, but I wonder if the smiles extend to other foreigners too, like Africans, or Chinese. Anyways they are undeniably more welcoming than UK.
Most British people are welcoming and nice but of course there are those who are not. It's a different situation however. Farang are seen as "higher" and usually with money. Have a look how many (not all) Thais view those from Myanmar and then we'll have an eye opener about how Brits treat "foreigners".
I used to have terrible sciatica about 15 years ago, I’am 71 now and haven’t had any problems now. My sciatica started when I became a taxi driver about 35 years ago. As we get older if we don’t keep active and exercise everyday our bodies and muscles deteriorate slowly over time. I found once I started exercising regularly the sciatica in my legs gradually disappeared. That’s my own experience, we are all different!
Tony thanks very much for ya reply keep the vids going mate all the best on ya new journey all the best uk
No probs mate, I'll keep posting crap if people watch it ;)
Glade to see you're much better, now find yourself a wonderful Thai lady and live well my friend!
But don't buy a house! Best, mate! 👍
I'm seriously considering it but I'm looking for the unlucky lady.........
@Vortecks I belive she be so lucky to find someone with your intelligence!!
If you want to be financially broke….Get yourself a lady partner!
@@Sirtomalot-c5sexactly
Great video wow I never knew in Thailand they drove on the same side of the road as the uk fascinating
It's one of the top reasons I moved here, I drove around France/Belgium/Spain and the amount of times I found myself on the left hand side of the road was incredible.
@@Vortecks thanks thats fantastic iam finding out new things everyday
Glad to hear its going ok mate!
Me too mate, it was a massive gamble but I'm now happy that I've found the perfect place for me to live and work on my next project ;)
Great words and correct with what has happened there..yes thailand grows into a part of your life that was just waiting to click into the part of your life that required the land of smiles injection. Glad you made the move...you will look back and realise you beat the dark dog thoughts cramping your mind for a bit....now it's onwards and upwards the dark dogs away..will see ya when I'm over Oct. And check emails...lol
When I look back at what I instinctively did and the things I had to do in order for me to get away, it's a very refreshing feeling that I did it before the breakdown of society hits.
Did you email me mate? Not seen anything recently?
27...28 July, and 10 Aug i sent so long ago. lol
Tony your right about the UK being over populated now, you cant even go out for a quite walk to remote places without clashing in to others unless you do it 5am in the morning
This is why I used to fly my planes so early, I like the solitude of the countryside. The population growth is by design though mate, the government are doing it to mould the UK into a country that we don't recognise.
The U.K. is not over populated. Here you get confined to tight living spaces, small, shitty, bland looking houses, no real development, no expansion because the nimbys, politicians, so-called royalty all want to limit your space and freedom. Only 6 to 7% of the U.K. is covered by domestic properties. The rest is owned (stolen) by elites and corporations.
Yep exactly same in Australia
Tony that Thai flower is called...."frangipani flower"
Cheers buddy, I've actually found the same tree on this site - it's hidden behind some other bushes and I wondered what the lovely aroma was. Thailand has a morning smell when the dew is dripping from the trees and the smell of the 'frangipani flower' is now on the list.
I agree with everything you’ve just said and there nothing anybody can do about it
I' m Thai. Thailand is not Utopia. We have social problems, you may meet it. However, I still have family, we support each other. By the it is going to change. It may same as UK in some day.
Thailand may not be perfect but it is far better than the UK. I hope everyone resists the changes that the western world keep trying to force on other countries.
@@Vortecks I do hope so. I don't know how long we can resist it.
Tony wish you the best my friend!
I can see in your videos that you reborn!!🥳👏👏
I will give you a "target", something to play..😁
In Thailand they create a powerful scooter company name VELITY..
They are taking about hyper scooter..🤔
If the base of company is near to you and can go ride it, you can give us your opinion about it and maybe they want to give you a job and help them with your knowledge...😉
I'm very happy for you my friend!!🥰
Cheers mate, I appreciate your comments!
Velity are actually an American company but they've opened an assembly plant over here which is good for business. I've got to speak honestly but the price of them is way above anything I would be prepared to promote and I doubt that they'll sell very many over here. I can buy a brand new Honda Click or Honda Wave and convert it to electric with a lot more power, speed and range for far less than Velity sell their highest power scooter, plus which my conversion could legally be ridden on any public roads. The roads over here can be rather hairy to say the least and I've been down some roads with invisible drains sunken 3-6 inches which nearly throws me off my ADV. Having 10-11" wheels and far less mass would be suicidal.
I'm still in the design process but I will be starting my new project later this year 😉👍
Good video 👍
Thailand is a homogeneous nation, vast majority are thais. That's why it is so good. That's why England was so much better before mass immigration, it was 95% white English. Everyone had mostly the same cultural values.
I 100% agree mate, it was a nice place to live before the government methodically destroyed it from the ground up.
Hi I’m Scottish from Inverness and have lived in Colombia for the last 37 years and can honestly say say I love every day,but we are a banana republic republic in the eyes of the the west but every where you look there is so much construction, new apartments new shopping malls , tourism is taking off, oh I’m so happy to live here will never go back to the uk to live,36 months for uk state pension,they won’t give me a raise after that,not justified , well it is what is it, I hate labour with all my heart how theyy can take away the300 pounds from the pensiones, criminal,I will pass my last days in Colombia but not sitting in a bedsit freezing cold,South Asia has what I can understand a culture like in Latin America, where poeple are respectful, and look after each others, not like the uk where everyone is for themselves, no I will stay in Colombia a country that has given me a family love and happiness,
I agree with everything you said mate. The UK is finished now and it's a matter of time before there's a civil uprising!
I've been here 8 months now and it's the best decision I've ever made.
Brother, I understand your emotion and feeling of togetherness but the Thai woman has no idea what the message on her shirt says. Most can't speak English let alone read it.
I'm very happy for you and subed so I can follow and support you but I say to you to be careful and be wise.
I fully understand that she probably doesn't know what it means, there are probably only the westerners who do. I was only saying that it's a true meaning of what I was saying mate.
What a load of waffle and dribble, I have been to Thailand many times over the past couple of years. And for the average Thai life is a struggle with little or no help from the Government. The only reason you are allowed to stay in Thailand is because you have have savings to support yourself. If anything happened and you have no money you would be shown the door back to Blighty. You you seem to have a real downer on.the UK 🇬🇧Yes it's far from perfect now. And if you're medical issue was sorted out with a massage then I am not surprised the NHS didn't prioritise you. I am not a hater but a realist. I will return to Thailand for a long holiday early next year. But I would never dream of leaving the UK permanently. Wherever you live it soon becomes the norm.. 🇹🇭
Things are working out perfectly for me, I'm finally out of pain after suffering in the UK for 7 years and I'm eating healthy food every day instead of having to buy junk because it was all I could afford.
It's not a choice that I live here, it's a necessity and the people who say that Thailand is a struggle really don't look at their homeland. I was struggling in the UK with ZERO help from the government for 3 years before I'd had enough I'd paid into the system for 40 years and got absolutely ZERO help. I'm a legal immigrant over here and I'm treated better than I ever was in the UK.
I will never return to live in the UK......... EVER.
@@Vortecks never say never and to eat healthy costs no more than junk, you just have to do a little more work to make your meals. I really it works out for you, just remember that you have to have an income stream to live anywhere so hopefully you will have enough to stay in Utopia.
How much money do you need to do what you did?
That's a very loaded question mate. I could tell you how much it did cost me for everything but it wouldn't help you in the slightest, it all depends on your circumstances and how much disposable cash you can gather.
All it's really cost me is the flight out here, the rest is still ongoing but I will do a complete breakdown on how much things cost in future videos. Keep watching the videos I release on a Wednesday, they should be helpful and give you some insight into the things I had to do.
The same thing is happening in the US. The govt doesn't care about the middle class, which supports the country as a whole. And immigration is totally out of control. God forbid I want to bring my Thai GF to the US. I will get denied and have to jump through hoops to get a visa, but people cross the southern border and get everything on our dime. I am fortunate to walk away from it in retirement, but I am worried for my kids.
It's happening all over the western world now, immigration is out of control. It's a bit ironic that I've emigrated over here but at least I can say that I'm a legal immigrant. My daughter left the UK last year because she could see what was happening to the country and I think it's what spurred me on to leaving too.
Got my green card. Moved to colorado rocks mts. Freedom.
Good to see you happy. What are you doing for money though, are you able to work out there?
I can't work, I'm on a retirement visa. I did have an opportunity to work in the tourist police and I might actually do it when my savings have gone.
@@Vortecks wow so you sold the house and moved there just to live on savings?
@@The_Macaroon Yes, I have enough to live off until I get my state pension.
@@Vortecks that's awesome. Subbed. Maybe you could do a video on how much someone your age needs to have to live on. Just breakdown the costs for a year there. I'd love to go but still 10 years away from pension age. Good luck anyway, and be careful with the ladies and your money
Your most lucky to have gotten out of here , Im still stuck in my errr "rut" or whatever they call it , The country is going to hell and there's nothing we can do about it.
"The country is going to hell and there's nothing we can do about it" - This is what I used to say but, if you think about it, every other British person is saying the same. If we had the courage, we would have collectively done something about it but the government have done their job well and supressed and divided the people that cause them problems.
Get out whilst you can mate, you'll feel much better and you can watch the UK's demise from afar.
I am here in the UK trying to make some pounds for my retirement in who knows where. Am from South Africa where things are falling apart. Thought England might be a better bet but now...not a chance. I lived in a police state for 30 years so know how it operates. Back here 2024 and flabbergasted at the draconian way UK is being run. Does not matter if its Tory, labour or Lib Dem they all obey their masters.
It will only get worse mate, stay away from the UK. They're slowly turning it into a communism and no one seems to care. The people who pay taxes have been well and truly trodden on and the government keep on taking.
Awww. Missing it. Gutted. Xs
Now to stay single and avoid losing everything to a failed Thai relationship.
Oh yeah, I'm definitely a 'pay as you go' guy 😉
In 37 and I stopped watching TV around 20 years ago. Its the same shit with a different theme. Thank fuck for TH-cam! The peoples TV or at least the closest thing we have got to one.
In currently bed bound with a twisted pelvis and slipped disc. NHS given me an appointment 5 months after I called the GP. I cant even walk to the chiropractor. What's this Thai medical massage that helped you out?
I feel for you mate, that's got to be bloody painful :(
The massage I get here is more muscular than anything, they slowly manipulate everything back into place and make sure it stays there. If I feel pains from my back, they will do a more vigorous repositioning of joints but it's very painful and I never think I'll ever walk again (but obviously I do). The other plus side is the cost - £6 for an hour and I need one treatment per week to keep the pain away.
Coincidentally, I had a call from the NHS last week - They asked me to fill in some pain management forms before I attend my appointment in November (14 months since my referral). When I explained to the woman that I've emigrated and I did inform the NHS about this, she was all snotty with me and she hung up.
@@Vortecks Six quid, that's incredible. I wish I lived in Thailand, but looking at your recent videos you're definitely selling it to me. I'm not surprised with the NHS's response there. That's pretty much the NHS down to a T if you ask me, a 111 doctor , because my dr was to busy to see me told me to call 111 and they just told me to start with taking paracetamol.
I've been in this state before and the only thing that helped was Gonstead Chiropractors, but there are 2 decent one the country which is London and Manchester. Hopefully I will be able to get my friends to drive me from Croydon to the London one.
I'm so lucky to have such good friends who look after me because the NHS dont.
@@Vortecks in typical UK fashion , that phone lady will be more angry at you over the appointment, than she will be at her employer or govt for mismanaging the entire country health system . This is UK to a tee
You look younger in uk
That's because I was younger (by a few weeks)
@Vortecks that was a large
Quite place easy parking in England you should have rented ot out
If upu het I'll in Asia you are in trouble mate
There will always be moments of doubt, but if your looking for nirvana, you wont find it in this life. I think that place is good fit for you
I believe that I have found nirvana, I am now in a place of perfect harmony and peace (in my mind) which is good enough for me. I have very little expectation in life which makes things very easy to accomplish.
Splendid news Tony, now how about a longer road trip where you keep nearly running out of fuel and entertain us with your middle country drawl as you pass your opinion on everything. 😂
The road trip is coming mate - next month I'm riding up to Mai Sai district on the Myanmar (Burmese) border. It's dangerous but someone has to do it g.co/kgs/3fgDpFR
😉
I’m 67 as a teenager i followed my dad with his political views, which was labour, they were there for the working class and probably left wing, nowadays i would be classed as far right, as you talk about. Where did it all go wrong for uk born citizens, i think Mr Blair encouraged more illegal immigration, but even living here in Thailand i think sadly we have to be careful what we say publicly
You hit the nail on the head mate - Tony Blair.
Yes, we have to be careful what we say because of UK laws that they randomly keep adding which don't solve the problem. They've already stated that it will get worse before it gets better but I don't know how it can get any worse.
Tony Sunderland uk mate any chance ya still give advice on e bike I’ve got 48 v 1500w can I use a 48v 100ah battery on kit many thanks
Of course mate - yes, you can use any battery of any capacity as long as the voltage doesn't increase. The '100ah' is the capacity - put 10 of them on, have 1000ah and I'll see you when you get here 🤣
What's happening in the UK and other places in Europe is no accident - this migrant invasion is being done by design.
You were wise getting out when you did 👍
I totally agree that it's by design. The next generation will be very submissive and there won't be a middle class, just upper and lower.
I'm so glad I did everything by instinct mate, I don't think I could have timed it better.
Good morning Tony, the first generation of immigrants who came into the uk in the 60's and 70's to help with a labour shortage intagrated realy well. It seems that all the other generations after that will never integrate.
There are a lot of, for a lack of a better term, pure English head bangers of course.
Please learn some Thai and the locals will respect you for that.
The first lot of immigrants you are referring to that came in the 60’s and 70’s were around the fifty thousand per annum and they integrated with the UK citizens well because they had no twisted ideologies! That yearly figure of immigrants continued up until Blair got into power, he was the one who opened the boarders to the UK and it was Blair who also destabilised the Middle East with an illegal war, since that time the UK has been overrun with immigrants with twisted ideologies who hate the Western World and who will never integrate with UK citizens. Unfortunately there are radical far left Communists in the UK who refer to concerned UK citizens as headbanger’s! These radical far left communists will stop at nothing to try and destroy the UK.
David, you're 100% correct and we all know what rel1g1on they were (replace 1's with I's). The people from the 60's and 70's have definitely integrated very well although the country didn't treat them with the respect they deserved. The people from the 60's and 70's now agree 100% with our way of thinking but unfortunately, they're being tarred with the same brush as the ones coming in now.
@user-xk5nl4sb2z You took the words right out of my mouth!
You must be in a rich part no people are around
Tommy Tommy Robinson
Every nail? You've hit squarely on the head!
hi bud , its the same here in germany .i stoped watching tv for about 1 yr now too .here the migrants get a ton of money and the germans get fuck all help now,its wrong.Stay where you are bud never go back
Wow it’s the same here in uk ppl getting poorer BUT NOT THEM ON BOATS o no get a car new apple iPhone food free gas n electric etc
I will never return to the UK apart from visiting mate, don't worry.
It's an absolute shit-show when the government won't listen to or look after the people who actually pay them (especially when they continually increase the amount that they demand from us to give it away to things that none of us asked for). One day soon, it'll all come to a head, mark my words!
Where your money in a local bank
Thailand had a honeymoon period and then the real reality of a Farang living in Thailand will set in most farangs not all don't get past the five years later on hitting a brick wall period .
Good point. It's because most farang don't understand Thai society. They're living the holiday life. Thai people, at least the new generation want new everything the same as the UK. You see more new cars in Thailand than the UK because everyone is debting up. There are some great things about Thailand and some bad things, the same with the UK. What changes with a farang when they move to Thailand is their own mindset, they live outside of society, they don't need to keep up with the Jones because there are no Jones, but there are Somchais and the Thais have the same pressures, even more so to comply with society. Farangs could live how they want in their own country but most don't because like all societies there are expectations to fit in.
The honeymoon period is 5 years long? We'll have to see mate, I don't think this feeling will disappear anytime soon.
@Smallmanbigworld1 - I have been looking for the exact things that makes this place different from the UK. I do understand that it's a complete sociative change but I never thought about "The Jones" factor - thank you!
Has
At 67 i would take a 5 year honeymoon, possessions become far less relevant for sure
You mentioned on one of the videos that you can live on about 100 baht a day. Please don't talk such rubbish.
OK
Corruption is embedded within Thai society due to its history and culture, where patronage plays a huge role and those with connections thrive.[8] Research shows that the cost of bureaucratic corruption alone in 2018 amounted up to a 100 billion Thai baht, with state officials at various levels embezzling funds from large and small governmental projects
Don't slag off the uk you muppet
The UK is just as bad or even worse at embezzling funds.
Its such a shame the uk isn't a united kingdom like we should be these days but when your boarders are open for the flood of migrants what will happen in the end war its here so sad :(
What makes it even more hard to comprehend is that the UK is an island with 20 miles of bitter cold water surrounding it.
and you didn't swear once
Spot on tony. in the uk you can spend between 8-13 a kilo for Cheddar, every last squeeze is always there. That just the difference between the singleton pack and the family pack. The UK is a managed society from school to the midazolam shot. The evisceration of critical thought has been breath taking. Now a dumbed down untrained nation is lost a wash with immigrant "workers" to fill the gap. UJk has handed out 1 million NI numbers a year to non eu immigrant workers over sunaks stint in number 10 its been way up there for years.
We may have a large GDP but when you dig in UK compared to other European nations we are screwed. it is all about money everything else is meaningless when the entire industry in farming is the movement in a days forx or commodities trading. . Sweden has manufacture and engineering Germany was a power center of engineering and design. But have handed their asses to the yanks in a save the world zero carbon conjob.
Starmer is a fraud nothing about him is labour. He is a globalist glove puppet worked by the likes of Blair and mandleson. He probably a spook as well for us & the US he certainly dances to their tune.
Its an absolute crab bucket of ignorance and desperation for the majority.
you did the right thing mate. And you inspire me greatly. I have a shopping list of health stuff Ive spent a decade being knocked back on rotting away on benefits. I used to have a company and created jobs. I tried to be useful. I thought the system would be there if not perfect. When i needed it. Silly me lol.
I am going to get out there and get my issues fixed as well. Or die trying lol.
Im so glad you managed it tony. Good on you!
Over here, Cheddar is £10.88 a kilo but that's imported from the UK so it doesn't make sense that they can charge anywhere near that over there.
Locally produced mature cheese is around £1.22/kilo. It doesn't have the kick of UK cheese but it's very palatable.
The UK government want total control over the population but over here, they balance control against freedom (like it used to be in the UK). Doing it this way causes the workers to earn more, be more productive and supportive to any decisions the government wants to implement.
The middle-class person is the hardest to control because they still have an urge for freedom and they fight back. The easiest way to gain control is to create a situation, wait for the reaction and then implement a solution and that's exactly what they're doing in the UK now.
The immigration thing is all planned for the future, they're doing away with the middle-class person so they can have complete control and drive down wages (but keep prices high) so they make the country VERY profitable.
I firmly believe that I came here at the right time (for mental and physical reasons) before I see my beloved country turn into a communist shit-hole. I still love the UK and I do miss it but I cannot stand what is being done to it.
The worst is still to come so buckle up mate, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
@@Vortecks Judging by the last month they are definitely shock and awing us in to the notion it is going to be a bumpy ride! Its only been a month but the change feels as dramatic as the lockdowns.
