- It's always been a dream of mine to live in the place where I first vacationed here over 30 years ago. About an hour from Pattaya, today I begin running that dream down and exploring the options. I'm not sure I was prepared for what I found, part 1 of 2.

I know that you don't want to live next to a house, house, house. But out in the countryside, you'll see snake, snake, snake. I built a house in Chiang mai countryside. Secured village with a wall all the way around the village, and I'm on the end. Don't forget about that snake that got into your motorcycle. Stay safe. 🙏
I really miss Vee when see this video honestly she was great on this channel her love of dogs etc ❤i never meet her of course but i remember how lucus hhad that bike accident years back andvttey would vistthat shrine every year and tidy it up beautiful lady ❤
New subscriber-I just wanted to say I enjoy your calm, mature, informative videos! Thank You
Thank you so much!
Good luck in your chasing. Keep safe and take care, best regards from Catalonia Spain.
👍👍👍
Love these vids. OMG. I know have my family members watching as well. They don't want me to leave the US but they understand why I want to leave. Hua Hin in May, I am super excited about it.
I hope you have a good health care plan from america. That you can use there. Most foreigners in southeast asia don't carry any health insurance and just pray they don't run into cancer or any other very serious health issues.
I'll get HI in Thailand.@@orangeguy3314
Nice 👍👍
@@orangeguy3314 Not true, health care is very affordable in Thailand and the health care id great.
@@luisRoma747 Please explain what health care plan or system you are talking about. These for profit private health insurance companies. That are selling policies in southeast asia or forbidden to sell their products in the advance countries of the world. Why???. Because they are filled with pitfalls and loopholes.
Like they first ask guestions like list your health problems and age and base the price of a policy on age and health or not even sell a policy to serious health individuals.
America was the last advance country to forbid that these loopholes and pitfalls in private health care companies. So, please fill us in on what you are trying to sell us on.
When you were zipping down beach road I thought you forgot you had a sidecar. Every time my wife hears your voice she says he really has a great radio voice
Lots of great info. Thanks.
Having lived in Rayong for 10 years, I love this place. Have a look at Chakpong area there are some nice lakes around this area for walking and fishing. About 15 km from your location. Good luck with the hunt.
Good to see you on a bike again!
Fish and chips on a Friday during Lent, I hear you, brother.😇😆
i moved to this area from pattaya lived thai style 5 mins from the beach cost me about $150 a month wasnt anything fancy but had 4 walls and a roof
Here in NYC my dog house costs more per calendar month than that. Feel I'm getting ripped off, this country isn't worthwhile living any longer. If I wasn't making high six figures per annum, I'd be out there with you in a heartbeat.
Great show Lucas. I should be retiring this fall and move to Korat. Enjoy your day. 😊
Cool 👍👍
The next episode looks really good!
1st comment - 😂
Interesting - heard good things about Rayong. On my list for next exploration. More power to you guys 🙏💪👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow Lou... What a beautiful part of the country mate 👍
Friend nice to see you well and happy and the video of Country for me is great....stay well and God Bless you both!
Thank You 🙏
Wow...a whole different look ! The options keep growing. So many choices and possible relocation which meet your needs. 😊
And as usual, thanks for the vlog. Looking forward to see beach house. Good tease.
Cool 👍👍
Bee Bee's is a great little Restaurant, good food great value .... :)
Love the scenery and music! Thanks. Best of luck with the house hunt! Seems like just yesterday you were filming a series on which apartment to rent during the pandemic.
Yeah, time flies when you're having fun 👍
:) THANKS MUCH for sharing! ALL the BEST and GREAT CURRY Chicken :)
Thanks Marty 🙏👍
Good luck to you and Lon finding your dream home. I am sure you will find it. Stay safe
Thanks Carleto
love the 3 wheel motorbike .... wow only 350 per day
Lovely vid.
Hey Lucas another great vid very cool Chris
Thank You Chris 🙏
Those are exactly the type of homes I'd be interested in... as long as they have water, power and fiber internet.
I'm sure when he reveals his choice it will be much nicer than those for similar money.
Thanks for taking us along. The area looks like country no hustle and bustle . Show us the beach house Lucas 😢 😂. Luv it 😊👍
Great video. There are so many nice beaches within an hour or two of Pattaya. I actually liked your old location, Bang Saen. Best of luck in finding exactly what you want.
Martin From LA
Thanks Martin 👍
Good video Lucas!! I hope I can say I'm moving forward to retirement in Thailand. Still have to wrap up many things. The homes looked fantastic!!
Thanks Dave
I spent a week there and loved it!
Nice 👍
This is an EXCELLENT video 🎉. Thanks 🙏+1.
👍👍👍🙏🙏
@@Rides4Kickz We found our dream location early (35 years ago). Bonne journée from Cap d'Agde 🇨🇵🇪🇺.
I like the bike and sidecar! Funny coincidence, but I just watched another video from yesterday and they were talking about the same kind of conveyance. I didn't know they were illegal (but found everywhere!). I learn something new everyday:)
Can't wait to see the beachfront possibility! Have a great week!
Thanks 👍🙏
Idk Loucous Rayong is far, I think Scott Thomas used to live out their,and it’s a bit undeveloped, or rundown. I think you would spend all of your time commuting back-and-forth to Pattaya. To see Friends shop get food make videos Etc.
However, you I look at it.
I think you could get a comparable place in Bang Suray Even nicer, not as far from Pattaya, and a beautiful stretch of beach.
Honestly your current place looked nicer than what you were showing and it’s hard to beat that location.
different vibe though down there.
very russified, most of pattaya jomtien. And it will get worse. Makes us Westerners not feel at home. Avoid long term investments therefore. @@Rides4Kickz
Cheers mate
🙂
Nearby is Tamnapar Jungle Resort/Restaurant , a must see! Also, a nice little hotel there is Mac Garden with decent food and a good outdoor bar.
Interesting to see what you eventually do - a long teaser which I’ll enjoy. Not sure if I can believe you’re ready for so much “country” living yet but let’s see how this plays out.
Some great places in Payoon beach and phala village. A little closer to Pattaya.
Quite like the little bay at the southern end of the beach road. Also quite close to ban phe and easy access to ko samui
You mean Koh Samet
That should read ko samet of course
Very Good info. I will live in Central Pattaya. BUT just outside of it IF I am ever not single.
My wife’s sister lives in Ranong though I’ve never been there, I would think prices would be much better then in the Pattaya/Jomtien area…..I bet it was fun riding the click with the side cart…….
Yes everything cheaper than Pattaya for sure.
Great video thanks. Original content.
It looks like Kep, in Cambodia.
Nice and relaxing.
What vlog Camera are you using please.
What mic at 3.38?
Cheers.
Your wearing identical shirts now? 😊 Hi Lon. Look forward to the next one. Maybe if you tell the realtor what you are looking for exactly , maybe that would help? Didn’t see anything in the first video. Good luck next time you go out looking. 😊
yes, lucky gave her some of that fabric so she could make a blouse 👍
I would recommend to also check out the area north of Sukhumvit road coming from Mae Ramphueng Beach. Drive to Taphong fruit market and then head east and a little bit north towards the big mountain. Very relaxed area with more spread out houses there.
Thanks for the tips!
Word of mouth(Radio bemba in Puerto Rican Spanish) works better a lot of times(My experience). Can wait for the next video. Happy travels and stay safe. God bless you all👍🏿.
Cool, thanks
I don't really need a real estate agent in thailand. When you just pick and drive around by yourself and that works way better then any real estate agent. 😅
On my last trip out, I looked at some very nice houses on the Dark Side near the golf courses (because I golf); almost equidistant - Pattaya to the West and Jomtien / Na Jomtien and the Yacht Club to the South. A little pricey but very nice.
So many nice options here for golfers 👍
Well that will be a drive back to your stomping ground in Pattaya ! I do see pattaya becoming to busy and unpleasant at times . Wish you a happy outcome in your relocation .... Enjoy .
Thanks Karl
🎖Thanks LUKE🇺🇸
I always wanted a motorbike and side cart with added rainy season protection 🤣
Good idea to get away from Pattaya. I wouldn't like to live there. Good to visit, though. I like the look of where you're looking. Nick
Forgive me Lucas as I've barely tuned in to the channel since I saw you in Jomtien after you'd just parked your pick-up alongside a bar/cafe I was leaving. I'm British guy of similar age and height, ehich always shocked me, as I always thought you were a 6'+. Great to see your channel is still flourishing.
👍👍👍
Nice vlogg kid 🤟
Nice quiet area. Looks like lots of opportunities for small businesses. Convenience stores, food trucks, restaurants, whatever things people need instead of having to go a distance to get them.
👍👍👍
N. Deans, Ricky Drama lurks!
A Louis Vuitton three wheeler! Now that's fancy.
👍👍👍
Hi R4K, are you doing an update on your health outlook? Appears like you're steadily on the up and up, if you get my drift... Thought Thailand had you dieting and active in order to keep that dreaded reading on the scale down. Thanks for the info
The Saleng may be ilegal , but they are for sale att the Hondashop in Ban Phe and almost all Thaifamilies in the area have one, and they are superuseful 🤠
94/11 Moo 2, Tambon Natakwan, Amphur Muang, Rayong. Check it out if you’re in the vicinity, unless it’s sold. The owner (my former wife) is trying to sell, serves her right.
House with a view, For resale value. Hopeful with a Golf course next door. A lake would work!!
With all the "events" and traffic h3ll increasing in town... Don't blame you at all for wanting to move further away... Missing the peace and quite of the covid times more and more myself... lol... good hunting... Good to know there's no central shared listings...
Absolutely 👍👍
What took you so long ? .... I would have been out of Patts within the first 6 months ... good on you !
Me and my girl really like that beach.. we go there for 1-2 days sometimes just to get away from bang saray… the place we stay has beach bungalows.. a pool and a grill… so we go to the fish market up by the aquarium and have a cookout….. did you say 10,000 a month for that house.?…. Would be a great deal..
That sounds fun 👍
With the emergence of affordable solar panels, along with solar inverters, living off-grid is very much viable now. This also allows for buying land at a much cheaper price.
plus plenty of sunshine here 👍
Happy House hunting . Do You have to pay off any Least
where Your at now ?.
take care All the best Another amazing video
Thank you
Apart from the parting seen Lucas, what are your plans for future content if you do make the decision to change location. Does it mean you'll be commuting back and forward from your chosen new location for get togethers, parties, catch up's & informative info etc considering the extra mileage, time & cost needed to do so?
Just a thought!!
Yeah, not sure but it is a reasonable drive up to Pattaya, I've always said 36 is one of the best highways here because not only is the quality good but no tolls so you can take a bike on it. 👍
1:25 The FIRST thing that came to mind upon seeing that scooter with multi seat side car.....would be riding around a college campus with a couple of guys and a cooler full of beer...and drinking said beer. Perhaps on a sunny football Saturday in the fall. Never mind the drinking and driving, never mind the public intoxication, never mind the open container of alcohol for the passengers. But a guy can dream can't he?? (and I"m 62 years old! HA HA)
Lol, Nice 👍🤣🤣
A 🚀 for final option 😊
My wife and I moved to the south of hua hin. Mellow. I purchased a saleang
very handy 👍
@Rides4Kickz I am surprised to see so many farang using these. It started our as a joke with my wife, but after chatting, it up with a neighbor, it made sense. I don't want the added cost of a pickup
Hi looking inside the house in the kitchen tell the man to get that gas bottle outside the house If that's ever going to leak it will be a disaster.think safe be Safe
I agree, our bottle is outside of the kitchen here, wouldn't want one inside
bit like Thailand ,have to eat fish n chips only on a Friday and the barbers here not open on a Wednesday ,funny old world
I live not far to the north of Rayong and yes it seems more enticing than the obvious tourist town not too far away
We are moving back to Ban Phe this summer. Maybe we will be neighbors
Nice 👍👍
Not sure how that sidecar tarpy setup would do in wind tunnel testing! 🙂
🤣😂🤣👍
that's a nice place for 10,000 baht compared to a condo , most probably get it for 9,000 mth for long term
Was that party on the beach in the pre-view because you are moving in?
Lol, no that was what some call Indian Songkran.
I'm looking for a house, too. I've noticed that it seems most of these new cheap houses in Thailand don't have screens on the windows or sliding screen doors, and the windows swing out, making screens impossible, I think. I guess everyone's goal is to seal themselves inside with the aircon 24/7. Definitely not something I could live with.
yeah, not sure why screens are not more commonly used here, good point.
Showing us reasonably priced, quality options in Thailand really makes Maura wonder why we are living in the city of her birth. 🤣 🇻🇳
No listings on FB marketplace?
Some but not many
Quite an unusual gas station! Gas in bottles…😳
Do you really search for a house to rent in one of the areas you showed us here?
Do you remember the reason why you moved from Bang Sare to Pattaya? Just my 2 cents.
Was that right 10,00 baht for the new house?
In all those locations that you looked at that had jungle and lakes nearby I would be concerned with snakes etc. In other videos I have watched snakes are a problem even in city locations. Is that a real concern or not. I live in Corpus Christi, Texas and you do need to be aware of rattle snakes and copper heads but I have lived here twenty five years and only seen one snake.
Lol, I think I saw the first snake only 24 hours off the plane 🤣
Nothing like getting gas and the bottles are 1/3 empty.
sold by weight not volume, same as a bag of chips 😂🤣
Fair play to you pointing out after Lon's comment of 5 years and saying it how it is Lucas 30 years later after your first visit ,Honest as the day is long .I like that 🙏👍
👍👍👍
Why don't most Thai homes have garages (with walls)? The concrete pad is there, as is the roof. Wouldn't be a whole ton of work/$ to add walls and a garage door.
Right you are, garages very rare
Built in closets rare too
Abe less car thieves than in the West
Brand new = No ghosts😀
Right 👍🤣
Where is this ?
I’ve brought some land 50/50 in Chonburi with my Thai girlfriend 400,000baht, in her name of course. Just keep it for investment. It’s between Bangkok and Pattaya, lots of new builds all around.
Good luck with that😊
are you leaving pattaya ?
Hello! Can a foreigner own a real estate property in Thailand? I believe you can with condos? Thanks!
You will never own 100% condos are a bad investment
Yes you can own a condo, just not land.
Bye for now
Get away from N.Dean, it's about to go down!!
I couldn't live there. In Thailand I like being in the 3rd floor. Preferably more like the 15th floor.
I've seen WAAAAY too many videos of people waking up and a cobra is slithering towards their bed. Not to mention all the snakes coming out of toilets. Eff that. Not in a million years could I live in a house in rural Thailand. The wildlife scares the bejesus out of me.
I had a beautiful 3m + Cobra in my garden Monday afternoon, isn't nature wonderful ?
@@Nipajim Nope nope nope nope.
Nope.
That place is flat it seems like the prairies, haha
Lots of cheap rentals in this area .
Aloha Lucas, can an ex-pat own property in Thailand?
Yes, just not land
Einen schönen Sonntag euch beiden noch 🤳👍 Gruß Achim 🌻🌧️
Danke Achim 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
How can they rent these, there are ilegal to drive on public roads, insurance will pay nothing in event of accident accident !
That's Thailand every now and then you take your life into your hands no matter how hard you try to be safe .
Everything is legal in Thailand as long as you have some cash.
What are you talking about!?
You've clearly never been to Thailand. It's because they don't have that attitude about everything (like in the West) that we love it so much. Mai pen rai.
They are not illegal in Thailand but are supposed to be only for the carriage of goods, but the Thais let the poor people use them to carry their family and the rest of the population have jumped on this, and they all use them, they are also used in Kanchanaburi as motorbike taxi. Just shows how much the police care.
No, saleng counts as motorbike. The bikes insurance is enough.
Another dump
These videos are great to watch on mute.
