Thanks Joe and Gift, was lovely to meet you all after being long time subscribers, love your vlogs always and will definitely look forward to meeting up again whenever we come back to pratchuap or visa versus if you come to Hua Hin would love to take you to one of our favorite restaurants in hua Hin. 👍🙏😊
Thank you 🙏. It was great meeting you both as well. Please feel free to respond to some of the comments, only if if you’d like to. Looking forward to seeing you both again.
That’s our dream. We are an Aussie couple that have been coming to Thailand for over 20 years. Planning to come to Prachuap next year to check out places. So jealous of you guys. Thanks for you videos guys.
Nice video Joe…And thanks Gift for the trip thru the market….no shrimp paste for me, thank you. Nice to meet the retirees from Australia…. Have a safe trip you guys…c u on the next one…😊😊
You four are an inspiration to many, you probably don't realise how many of us watch planning our escape to the land of smiles. Keep the information coming, it helps us all thank you xxx
Thanks for this vlog as always. Wow! 80,000 baht per month not including rent or mortgage! That's more than I have coming in on my UK pensions put together. In common with all UK expats here, my UK State Pension was frozen at the rate it was when I arrived here 10 years ago (i.e . No increases. They must live an extremely lavish lifestyle. We manage on far less than that including mortgage repayments, car loan repayments, University and accommodation fees for my daughter and eating out once a week. Like those Aussies, I couldn't afford to live in UK now especially as the cost of living has risen 11% in the last 12 months. I love Thailand and am so grateful to God that I can live a good lifestyle here at a fraction of what it would cost in UK. God Bless 🙂🙏
The rain lasts longer than usual this year, air quality is still good in the north. Thai government is trying hard to mitigate the problem by providing incentive for farmer but you can' t control neighboring countries.
That was another good interview. Wow, been coming to Thailand for 20 years before moving to Thailand. I wonder how they decided on Hua Hin? Would love to hear what about Hua Hin that beat other locations in Thailand. Lol, Tom and I are still wondering where we will end up…. Hopefully your spare room will still be available. 😂
I'm Ausjailian. I retired to Pattaya in 21. I was single then but got worn out in 8 months so moved to bang saray. As it happens with us who come over single, we meet that special girl who doesn't work in a bar and now moving to Hua Hin with my beautiful lady. So I'm here looking for ideas
Exactly how many men actually make retirement age of 67 that's why in my life time the old age pension has gone from 60 to 65 to 67 our kids it will be 70 they want us dead the day before we get our first pension
Watched many of your vlogs Joe, love Thailamd. Just curious, is it definitely a week and not a month the Aussie couple spend around 2k U.S? just thought that sounded excessive: Craig in Perth, Western Australia
Looks like a nice couple and doing very well 10 year dream came true💞 thank you and Gift for keeping it real💯 And yes the west is so crazy even the peace country Canada is so crazy.
Great video as usual. Ill be out that way early 2023. From my arm chair Hua Hin is high on my list. I'm 50, retired and cannot wait to get out there to explore. 80k Bhat a month to live well! That is dirt cheap compared to Vegas. I went out for sushi last night, just me, no beer, only a water 2 sushi rolls and one 2 piece yellow tail sushi, 50 USD, tip included (in Vegas not on the strip, out where no tourists are, the burbs). What would something like that cost in Thailand? I have no idea.
Thanks for the video and sharing, if i am going to retire in my 50's now, I need at least $3K a month to live anywhere in Thailand comfortably plus whatever extra savings I have for emergency because living pension to pension is not enough.
You might change your mind when you find out that all of those wonderful ingredients, are used to cook food at local restaurants and food stands fresh everyday. Fact is, it is usually cheaper to eat out when indulging in eating local foods.
@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 I wonder in order to maintain the same lifestyles in the U.S., a person would probably spend at least three times. For example, $2,000 in Thailand would be $6,000 in the U.S.
Once you buy the house I think $10,000 thb per week for meals .Property taxes $9.24 per year Trash pick up $9.24 per year Home owners insurance for $200 per year Water bill averaging $1.75 per month Electric averaging $50 per month High speed fiber internet $20 per month
I’m sad that people have to leave their homeland because they can’t afford to live there anymore and enjoy life!!! Kinda tells ya something of the G20 countries and their agenda???? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
G ‘ day mate My name is Kenji Shibuya from Japan I love Jimmy barnes I want to go Hua Hin I am going to stay for two months This time living to long stay I am going to English school two times by a week I want to stay condo Studio Can you tell me cheap condo I want to call your house
80000 a month sounds reasonable. Assume rent for a house fitting their lifestyle being 30000 per month. Totals at 110000. Annually 1320000. now the big question needs to be answered. Comprehensive Health insurance included or not? A good int. one for me, age bracket 61-65 is around 200000 per year. For two it’s 400000. Budget now would be 1720000. Thats around 50000 USD. Makes sense? How much they or you pay for health insurance? Again, above 60 premium really hits you. If rent is 20000 and medical 100000 each, total is 1400000 or 42000 USD. In my view that’s what a western couple should be able to afford.

Good interview with the couple from Australia. The cost of Condo $62k. Nice!
I would definitely hang out with Gift n Page they r great blessings from North Texas
Hi. The more gift and Paige are together and more they act as sisters.. I'm a fan
80k per month you can retire in Australia too.I’m Thai from Hua Hin but live in Melbourne.
🤣
They said something about avoiding the political correctness of the west. I wonder what they meant.
if you owned your home outright. I think she mentioned they still had a mortgage.
@@sharonla8071 CAMERAS ON EACH STREET CORNER
I know I don't even know how you spend that much
good video you 2 hope b/inlaw heals soon
Thank you 🙏
Kop kuhn Kop, Kuhn Gift! Love these looks at normal daily life.
Thank you 🙏
Smart couple. For me moving to Thailand is a No-brainer. Great vid!
Thank you 🙏
Baz and Shaz :) Champions, all the best for your retirement guys!
You guys definitely helping ne think on my retirement plans. I'm in Thailand in 4 days. Heading up to Chaing Mia to see the mountains.
@@faranginsiam no idea. I've heard burning season had just passed.
Burning season usually starts in early January so hurry up if you're going to visit there
Safe travels!
@@donnybrook5671 I'm in no rush besides Thailand is a big country. I'd just go somewhere else.
The rain lasts longer than usual this year, air quality is still good in the north. Thai government is trying hard to mitigate the problem by providing incentive for farmer but you can' t control neighboring countries.

I love that part, the dancing, gets me everytime
They are spot on about Australia, have to work till you have one foot in the whole !
Exactly how many men actually make retirement age of 67 that's why in my life time the old age pension has gone from 60 to 65 to 67 our kids it will be 70 they want us dead the day before we get our first pension
Tell me about it!
Congratulations 🎉 to the lovely Australian couple on their retirement. So true. Retirement in the USA 🇺🇸 is also out of reach for most citizens.
Watched many of your vlogs Joe, love Thailamd. Just curious, is it definitely a week and not a month the Aussie couple spend around 2k U.S? just thought that sounded excessive: Craig in Perth, Western Australia
Thank you 🙏. Please read the pinned comment and replies.
Good Video 📹 👍 👌

Looks like a nice couple and doing very well 10 year dream came true💞 thank you and Gift for keeping it real💯

Our pleasure! I agree ☝️ $3K would be a good amount to retire in Thailand.
If I lived there I would be cooking everyday! Look at all that wonderful ingredients!
You might change your mind when you find out that all of those wonderful ingredients, are used to cook food at local restaurants and food stands fresh everyday. Fact is, it is usually cheaper to eat out when indulging in eating local foods.
No way, heaps better/cheaper eating out. Westerners can't cook as good as Thai's...
What includes in their budget: travel, massage, eating out, visa, etc.?
If I’m not mistaken they included everything.
@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 I wonder in order to maintain the same lifestyles in the U.S., a person would probably spend at least three times. For example, $2,000 in Thailand would be $6,000 in the U.S.
I love hearing about the other expats stories!!!!! I feel that Im learning something new, with every video!!!!!
Thank you 🙏
There are no names more Aussie than Bazza and Shazza.
We thought the same. Classic Aussie
I bet they've watched or heard of Kingswood Country 🤣🤣
Once you buy the house I think $10,000 thb per week for meals
.Property taxes $9.24 per year
Trash pick up $9.24 per year
Home owners insurance for $200 per year
Water bill averaging $1.75 per month
Electric averaging $50 per month
High speed fiber internet $20 per month
Thank you 🙏 for sharing.
Gr8t price on Condo for Aussies! 😬
Should get cb raido so you and chuck can stay in touch when on the road
We use our cell phones which work fine. Thank you 🙏 for the suggestion.
I live on just under 10,000. USD per month in the USA. I live in a small home and two older cars. 2400.00 USD is great.
I’m sad that people have to leave their homeland because they can’t afford to live there anymore and enjoy life!!! Kinda tells ya something of the G20 countries and their agenda???? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
listen 👂 👂 Shaz and Baz had choices in Life. keep well Always..
