    Great energy and clarity. I’m like you except I chose to sell my primary home (way too many restrictions and laws that make it stressful to live there plus the exorbitant property taxes), but kept other low stress properties. I just returned from Thailand. Costs are 20% of my costs here, plus I fell fully alive, vibrant, engaged with my life, learning fascinating things every moment and making many new friends, and a healthier diet and lifestyle. 🙏🏼

    Thanks for the video and advice. Last year, I lived in the Jomtien area for 6 months and my monthly budget was $3K and that's with companionship with a regular Thai lady for 3x a week without buying any LDs and barfines. I did not eat any western food due way more expensive and been eating Thai food in the market. In my early 50's now, I was planning to retire but I changed my mind in the very last second and back to work again in CA, started from scratch. Will do this again, next year.

    Those condos are expensive for Pattaya but I suppose if you’re paying the daily rate that’s what you’ll get. You can easily spend less than $300/month if you sign up for that long. Also, a 30-day visa extension is obtainable for about $60, so you can at least do 60 days til you have to leave.

Im at my mid 30s, left my corpo job to travel. Did this for 5monts. Since December 2023 I visited Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia... and feeling terribly exhausted, stopped enjoying it, feeling bored and tired. Need to get back to home right now.

    People who are thinking of living full time in Bangkok should seek the option of those who live (and have been living for years) in Bangkok. You can't live comfortably for less than $1600 per month. Sure it's doable for less but not really sustainable. Most expats who live full time in Bangkok are on $2000 budget (or more ) per month.. Please note that 2k does not offer a high living standard but rather a very decent one.

      @@RetireandGo There are lots of long-term immigrants with residency permits. I dunno.. I think they're loaded terms. The first time I came across this was an article about British "expats" in Spain.. they'd retired and been living there for years and then Brexit came, suddenly they became subject to rules that applied to non-EU citizens and were complaining vociferously about it. The writer of the article pointed out that expats and immigrants were essentially the same thing, but the term "immigrant" was usually (at least in Europe) applied to people from poorer countries like Syria and Poland living in richer countries like the UK, while those from richer countries moving to poorer ones (even Spain!) were "expats", and the reason the expats in Spain were complaining so much was they had a sense of entitlement that, say, a Polish truck driver in Britain would never feel.

    • @iskandartaib
      @iskandartaib หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      ​@@RetireandGo I don't think that's true - there are lots of immigrants that live for years on resident visas, even to the extent of having children and raising families. Perhaps you might call these people "expats", but again, what's the difference? Some years ago I came across an article about British "expats" who were living in Spain - they were very upset because the rules had changed due to Brexit, to them that wasn't fair, because they'd been working or had been retired, living in Spain under EU residency laws, and now they had to fill in extra paperwork to remain there. The writer of the article was of the opinion that the term "expat" was just a euphemism, to differentiate people like this from, say, a Polish lorry driver in Britain, or one of the thousands of people from Syria or Africa trying to get into, or already in, the EU. So the term "immigrant" has negative connotations - they're people from poorer countries (even such as Poland) who move to richer countries, while "expats" are those who move from richer countries to poorer ones (such as Spain). As you are probably aware, there are thousands of Burmese immigrants in Thailand - maybe we should call them "expats" too.

    There's a bad trend amongst YT vloggers that are either so crass or have a distinct lack of vocabulary. Stop calling these economies 'cheap'. You're basically facilitating an imminent price increase. Explain that they're less costly or good value, but please stop calling them cheap. Also you stated that Dragon house was built in the 60's? I think that is highly unlikely, as Pattaya was a sleepy fishing village back then. Soi Buakhao didn't go past The Marquee bar until 1991 ish. I know this from talking to people who've been visiting Pattaya since 1976. I've a friend who went there in 1985 and said none of the Soi's along Beach Rd existed as they do now. They were merely cut ways and Walking Street was just about the only area of entertainment. These people are talking from first hand experience.
