Hey bud. Just a little correction to your comment about spicy food. Ped mai = this is a question that the person will ask you to determine if you want your food spicy. You have to say = Mai Ped, this means "not spicy". Of course there are tones on each of those mai as well. Ped mai will have a rising tone, and Mai Ped will have a falling tone. Hard to explain but defiantly say Mai Ped.
You're funny. I enjoyed this very much. I've been to Thailand lots as a close friend had retired there. He reckoned his house keeper's favourite word was 'Yang'. The convo would go something like - "Housekeep, can you arrange XYZ for tomorrow please". Come tomorrow and close to the appointed hour, "Housekeep, did you arrange for XYZ today?" - "YANG!" would come the reply...meaning "Not Yet". So if you've a housekeeper or arrange something with someone and you hear "Yang" when you ask about progress, it means 'no progress'. Lol!
I am Thai but I first didn't understand "Yang" until I read the whole comment. Yeah, Thai can procrastinate due to chill attitude or "Sabai Sabai". I love Sabai attitude but procrastination drives me nut. That's something I have to keep in mind since I am retiring and retiring to Thailand 😂😂😂
Living abroad has been exhilarating I’m sure you’ve been loving it ! Love your channel. Tuk Tuk drivers be having the hookup but the grandpas know everything and everywhere
Very, very helpful. Definitely some some unique info. here that I haven't seen elsewhere. Thanks much! I'm a Sixty six year old "fearless fossil" moving to Jomtien Beach in the spring from Wisconsin. I owe you a beer! J
That ATM Card tip is GOLD! I lost 2 cards in less than 7 months! Fortunately was able to get the second one back because I used the ATM at a bank in the mall. It would have been so difficult if I were unable to get the second card back. I have several options now though, thankfully!
Thanks bro and I learned a few things. I would like to add my ten cents worth. 1. look 69 ways before you cross the street lol 2. You are better off having the cab turning on the meter and tracking your destination discretely on your phone. while they take you there. 3. Try not to buy to many thing without a price on them or at least see a regular local person buy it first 4. Do not carry excessive amount of cash on you. Unless you really need too 5. Take a picture on your phone of where you are staying at...Just in case you or cab get lost. 6. If you eat a lot of street food. You might want to take some charcoal tablets. This to absorb and speed up any type of food stomach issues you might have. The charcoal abosords it, and yes it's safe....Liquid charcoal is what they use in the hospitals. When they pump someone stomach. Too get the poison out 7. If you can, you might want to carry some type toilet paper with you. Do not smaller places will have it. 8. You might just need two pair of pants. If you go Pattaya area or even most of Thailand. It's hot hot. When I stayed for 30 days. I had no idea you could not drink the water there until my last week. Luckily, I did not get sick or this could just be some foreign bs story about the water. Got a question my brother. Why you sound like an Asian granny when you speak Thai? I'm just messing with you. lol
@@theisaiahashleyshow4251 I can't help myself. I was rolling, you even had the mannerisms. I know you were not even aware of it...and that's what made it funnier.
Come on folks, 3 months and only 11k views? This was good stuff. We even got some impressive Thai language tips and demonstrations. Give the guy some love.
Really enjoy your channel, very informative and always funny! Planning for my own move to SE Asia in the next few years, hope we can meet up some day when I pull it off...
I will definitely use your safety win code when I decide to purchase health insurance, I plan to go to Pattaya to early retirement. If you have sometime, please do another costs of living in 2024, especially accommodation in Jomtien beach apartment. Thank you.
Love the Video KinFolks!! Have you done any videos on the Dental Industry? I’m coming to Thailand for some dental work and trying to find the best Dental practice in Thailand…..
@@theisaiahashleyshow4251 That’s Awesome bro! I hope you’re recovering ok. I’m based in Australia but from California. Coming to Bangkok for some dental work .. just trying to find a reputable dentist. I’m looking forward to checking out your dental video.
@10:20...Agreed!!!...lmao...I'm originally from Nigeria. When I went back to Nigeria to visit I had to use a pail with water to wash the cheeks. They told me toilet tissue is ass backwards 😂😂
My favorite part is when you said when negotiating prices, do not do it in terms of U.S. prices, but locally. I have a question for you Mr. Ashley: Of all the SEA Countries, which one would you travel first and last if you are new to Traveling? I want to travel to as many as possible, all in 3-12 months to get an 'overall view' of each one. My Intuition is telling me Malaysia [because of Singapore being clean]. I'm 56 years old. Great video! I learned ALOT!! I'm also a Subscriber!
If you are checking directions, don't let policemen help you. They collude with the tuktuks and you get taken to somewhere you don't want. I just wanted to cross the river, they took me to where they were selling 2 hour river cruises for a lot of money. I just wanted to cross the river! I finally walked somewhere and managed to cross on a boat that seemed like it could sink at any moment.
I lived there last year which was a bad year but honestly only for a couple, three weeks. I'm moving back. Too many farang here, particularly Russians here in Jomtien. Pattaya has no Thai culture just day drinking bogans.@@theisaiahashleyshow4251
Ideally, you should have some idea how much that thing should cost. If not, you can try to ask them if they can lower the price. When they offer you a new price, you can try to negotiate down again on that price.
also i know this is alot to ask, but if you could even just for a small time, talk one on one with me s i have so many questions, again thank you for the video
Do you have to do schooling for an educational visa. I want to move there long term but about to graduate. I need help on what could be the best option even though I don’t plan on going back to school
Question for you, I’m heading to Thailand in a week. Have a friend doing some contract work and I’ll be crashing with him at the resort his job put him up in. All that to say I have a place I can have things shipped to. Coming from the states I don’t want to use my cell phone and AT&T won’t unlock my phone cuz I haven’t paid it off yet. You suggested downloading Lazada to get a cell phone I can use while I’m out there to put a SIM card in. Do you think that’s the best move or should I just go somewhere and buy it when I get there? (Staying in Phuket for most of my trip)
Can you tell me can I use my smart phone I have a 14+ but it doesn’t have a Sim card. Can this phone be used in Bangkok or Thailand? Would appreciate your answer. Thank you and have a great day. I’m new to your channel and I’m loving it, I’m planning to move to Thailand. Maybe. KOH SAMUI
So you just leave slightly poo’d ,soggy tissue in the trash can? Just leaving all that out in the open uncovered for every one to breathe & see? I love seeing signs in SEA that say, “don’t throw TOILET paper in the TOILET” .
hey bro please see this and help me, im 17, and when i turn 18 (august) im thinking of moving thailand as i need o get away from my life for atlest 6months plus. i currently have no savings (800 but going to invest). im planning on selling everything i own and with that, move to thailand for some time. i will be focusing on my mind and body do you think this is possible? i have also heard there are many robbers, so is it home invasion type robberires or is it just like pickpockets as im not sure if i weould have to live somewhere touristy for the secureness, as i want to live outskirt like and induldge in the culture of thailand. i really just want to escape the life im living now - please help me and thank you (litrially just watched the 8month one
When i was in Thailand i tried to open a thai bank account because you cant apply for a visa without one. But the bank didn't allow me to open the bank account without a visa. So how do you navigate this egg chicken conundrum?

I wanna move there and do Online teaching for English.. Do u know of anybody who does that and can linkup with me on jobs there for online English teaching
Almost all brand-name items in clothing are far more expensive in Thailand. If you don't like replicas, just buy them here in the USA - much, much cheaper here.
Congratulations on your one year living abroad, may the ancestors continue to keep you safe!

Dope video Isaiah. I've heard that the burning season can really mess the air quality up. How has the air quality been in Pattya for you?
Air quality is usually fine in Pattaya for my understanding it’s mainly up north like Chiang Mai where it’s the biggest issue

What about visas? Have you done a vid on visas because I’m thinking about moving.
U are so fire bro😂
Any recommendations on a agency in Bangkok for T visa
The language section had me giggling, thank you 😂

How much should you negotiate down? 50% of what their asking?
Can u negotiate rent down?
Ideally, you should have some idea how much that thing should cost. If not, you can try to ask them if they can lower the price. When they offer you a new price, you can try to negotiate down again on that price.

No. You need both an outside income and savings. Even if you do visa runs (which will cost you money) you can only stay less than a year.
Just visit at 18 you don't have enough money and life experience to live there.
