- From Chiang Mai Thailand to the USA. Reverse culture shock. Things are different and so are prices. When you live out of the country for awhile and you return, things can be overwhelming.

I returned to NH last month for a family visit, after a 4 year period of not returning. Like yourself, I was shocked by the prices. I walked through the grocery store with my jaw hanging open. And a simple meal in a restaurant was double what it was when I was last there. All I could think was how do the lower paid residents live under those conditions, not to mention skyrocketing rents. I appreciate my life in Thailand even more than before, and , as much as I loved my time with family, I couldn’t wait to get back to affordable Chiang Mai.
Glad I’m not alone! 😊
Rudy’s is the best ! Never miss it when I visit Dallas !
It’s really nice that you got a chance to meet up with your friends and family members. You blew me away about the cost of that $70 ride - I’m amazed anyone paid that for a one time deal. The cost of living is the main reason I am leaving the U.S. in January. I am taking my retirement in U.S. dollars and basically doubling my money in Thailand. Lower housing costs, better and healthier food, and less stress. I love the U.S., but it’s just not worth living here anymore when there are better options.
Agreed 👍
Good for you ! Nice and interesting to experience all (several anyway) the differences between Tland and the US, always felt refreshing being in Tland and having to return to US somewhat desultory and felt really refreshed in Tland when the former president was in office, it was soooo good to be away from even hearing his name mentioned but that is only one great benefit of travel..good to see all your kids, relatives, and friends for a “ketchup” session..if I’m back in CM next year I’ll drop a wedding gift off..kop for vid 🙏🏻🕊🇹🇭 p.s. hope you have a good return trip 👍🏻
Love the Texas State Fair!! 👍🏾
Retired expat from the US living in Thailand for 4 1/2 years.
Don't miss the US for a moment. Happily never have to go back.
I have heard this happen. … people visiting the USA … after being gone for awhile.
Reverse Culture Shock is real.
I came back to the US from Chiang Mai in March of 2020. Going to my local convenience store/gas station and seeing "Pumpkin Spice Latte" ...in MARCH??? Cinnamon, Vanilla and Pumpkin in everything and the smell of it all year round in America is just weird!
We left Texas for Chiang Mai about the same time you arrived there! 🙃🌎
interesting vlog.. $70 for a ride!! Though I can show you a brisket sandwich here in CM that is maybe 2x the price of the one in Texas,,, but i would have culture shock back there too... safe travels.
Awesome video! I have watched your Thailand videos as I am debating on moving over there in the next few months, and I didn’t realize you weee from here, I live in Greenville myself 😂
Small world! 😀
I appreciate your comparison with both country prices. However, you forget that salary is much higher in the States as in Thailand. Of course you can live like a king in Thailand with your US income.
We were sad that we were out of town when you were home. We would have loved to see y’all. Blessings ❤️🙏🏻. Steve and Teresa
We would love to catch up!
Rudy’s barbecue is the best in Texas it’s great and you can gas up the truck lol
good video, get back to CM before you go brooke!!!!!!!!!!!
I get lack of culture shock!
Your sons chose wisely! :) And I always forget how large many fellow Americans are.
