    I like how you just walk across hotel lobby to other hotel. It help when you know your way around 👍

      Yes, I love living in Phrom Phong. I went home when I wanted to, when I lived in On Nut, but that involved getting a car. A pain

    Thank you, Joe. Another great video. LiveZen is a great little hotel. Not sure if it's considered serviced-apartments or a long-term stay hotel but it's great. They have work and conference space (Live Work Asia) attached to the hotel which is convenient for setting up meetings. Reasonably priced. Manager and staff are wonderful!

    I try to watch most of your videos. Always good information. I miss Bangkok! Been back in Oregon 1 month now, finally cooled off! LOL. I get high and tight, just easier to manage. Tons of places all over for $3-6 (at least on Samui where I went).

    • @EagerExpat
      @EagerExpat  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh ya, there are plenty in BKK too. The problem is if you wanted longer hair, you'll get the high and tight. It's just the Thai style. 450b is a little high. But, once a month is fine.

      Ya, you can get a 140b haircut around Phrom Phong too. It will be a 10 minute cut. If you want a little more attention to detail, that comes at a cost. No matter where you get the cut. Hey, thank you for watching.

    My day is pretty much the same except I get up a little bit earlier and hit the gym first thing in the morning. If I’m ever feeling jaded, I just try to put things into perspective that most men just dream about having a life I live every day and then I come to my senses. For those of you with dreams of retiring Bangkok and Thailand stay home and make a ton of money. Bangkok is fabulous . Try not to do it on the cheap.👍

    I’m a tourist but last time I was in that IKEA, it seemed like forever to walk through it. Like all IKEAs, they have a path that takes you through the entire store whether you like it or not. 😅. I guess I need to find the exits that can get you out sooner. Lol

    Hello from Mira Mesa, just came across your video, and it was nice seeing a simple day in the life of an expat from S.D. I myself am just beginning the homework on comparing and contrasting Thailand and the Philippines. As so many have done before me. My best bud is in the process of buying a condo in the Philippines, so that's gonna be my first trip. It seems that Thailand is a bit more modern and convenient in some senses. Thoughts on that ? Looking forward to your next video . Cheers !!

    I am curious about how you get along in Bangkok without speaking Thai? Is the language barrier only a small hindrance or can it get in the way in important ways? Do a lot of people speak English there? Or do you speak Thai or some Thai?

    • @EagerExpat
      @EagerExpat  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I speak a little Thai, but in 99% of expat areas, you'll speak English. I love the Philippines youtubers who say they don't speak English in Thailand. I've been to the Philippines a dozen times. I heard way more Tagalog than English.

    • @EagerExpat
      @EagerExpat  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I've never seen a snake. As far as the toilet, that's more a once in a lifetime. That's why it's all over the Internet. If you move to a small country house, yes, you might get all kinds of snakes. In BKK, it's not a concern.

    • @EagerExpat
      @EagerExpat  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's a big city. There can be pollution. But the real problem is when they burn the sugar cane between January and as late as March. I don't care where you live. You will have smog from that. Everywhere in SE Asia. In Bangkok, I'd say 75% of the time the air out my window looks clean and blue. Other days, it looks bad. If you listen to the experts, it's bad every day. So who knows.

      It may not be a problem for you at a Thai condo. If you refuse to give your finger print and take a picture at the airport, you won't be entering Thailand. Or most countries for that matter. I just did finger prints to enter Japan yesterday. I'm not wild about all that myself, but I think my finger prints, even my social security number is in 1,000,000 data banks by 2024. You can't even walk down the street in any major city without a CCTV camera keeping track of you. It is what it is. I'm not going to stay inside all day.
