Great video, mate. I can totally understand why you made the move, and it's good you figured it out early in life. I'm sitting here at almost 50 years old in Brisbane, still dreaming about moving to Thailand every day.
Appreciate it mate. Hope you figure out a way also. Least the Brissy weather is alot nicer than what I used to live with in Melbourne
15 years in thailand, moved from northwest aust where cost living was out control,a home was over $600k for 3 by 1, here I built my home 5 by 3,cost living is very affordable, very casual life style.What more can you need.
Exactly. It's ridiculous back home. Fortunately we got the opportunity to live here 👍
Happy life Thailand. House price skyrocket here in Oz. Everage rent for 3 br house is NOW $525 per week.
This is Melbourne.
YOU cannot fall in Melbourne.
@@User5467h-4etic Melbourne rental prices have gone nuts
I live in Karratha in the Northwest, just got evicted from a house paying $500 a week because the rent is now upped to $2000 a week
@@whatsnewtoday23 OMG. $2000per week
I resonate with this 100% mate. I moved to Laos 4 years ago and never looked back. I'm not working to survive anymore, saving money and living a great lifestyle. Also agree with the health factor, in Laos there is no Burger King, KFC, McDonald's in the entire country and my spice tolerance is through the roof.
Geeze non in the entire country 😂. That would make a trip back home special. I hear alot of good things about Laos, would've love to get up there one day
@@RickyIsaan yeah mate. First thing I do when I go through Bangkok airport is a beeline to Macca's. I've been to Udon Thani a few times for Visa runs in the past (I now have a 1 year work Visa) and you can tell the Laotians coming back on the bus to Laos. They usually have a bucket of KFC in each hand 🤣🤤
Good for you. Life is for living. Enjoy Thailand
I'm hearing you loud and clear brother, I go for a month every year, greatest month of my life (except for the scary flu years 🤦) hoping and praying to someday live there forever, I get so pee'd off everytime for the remaining 11months in Australia..ONE FINE DAY 🇹🇭
Hope you find a way mate
Great move. Melbourne has gone downhill at a rate of knots in recent years. It's now a shadow of it's former self. Many thousands are now up an leaving.
I definitely agree.
Yeah it's so bad all the Thais are moving here 😂😂😂
Totally agree. There will be more and more homeless people in Melb
Yeah , and Victorians voted Chairman Dan back in , ?
@@User5467h-4etic one thing aus does well is give loads of handouts to people who don't wanna work. But if everyone doesn't wanna work cos it's getting too hard there might be an issue
Hi mate, I’m married to a Thai lady also and I totally understand why you have moved to Thailand. My wife is from Buri Ram and I have built a modern home in her village and can’t wait to move over there myself. One more point you could add to your list is the people. How nice are the people over there. Everyone just treats you so well and like you said, they don’t judge you.
Good luck with your journey over there, maybe we can catch up for a beer in December
Oh go Max and Red Bull😂
Overall they treat you good but every society you’ll be judged, happened to me a few times in my 1st trip to Thailand but overall they’re polite and I do enjoy Thailand ❤
Not a big Super Max fan or Christian Horner either, but not alot I can do they're running f1 atm 😂. You're absolutely spot on, everyone always smiles at you, says hello, asks what you're doing, I love it. If I lived in the cities I'd be viewed as another tourist. But here they appreciate you. Even the local police are great
I’m from Brisbane and we built a house in my wife’s village approximately 50km from Buri Ram city. Amazing people and food as you know. I remember the first time my wife took me to the village and we had lunch at a local “restaurant “ and I ate more spicy than my wife and the lady’s were amazed the deranged can eat spicy, it seems the whole village was talking about it.
Anyway mate keep up the good work, cheers
I am married to Thai lady too, but she married me, just to move out of Thailand, not stable government, corruption and dictatorship, Thais work 50 hours a week for peanuts, they are not complaining to you, but they are far from happy, they can't travel, they don't have retirement, no sick leave and slaving to foreigners for less than livable wages 😢
Welcome to the ever growing Aussie/Western expat community in Thailand. Your reasons & story mirrors most of ours.
I came here 2019 from Gold Coast
That's it mate, we all share pretty similar views in that sense for leaving Aus. Obviously Thailand isn't for everyone but at least we can enjoy it 👍
Dan Andrews must have been a factor...lol
Lol pre pandemic the mental side/work life balance wasn't great. He definitely didn't help
Welcome welcome 🎉 Australia is easy to make money but you can’t effort to buy just only a small unit nowadays. Come and make Australia town here. Gotta be so fun
Total agree dude, it was enlightening and invigorating when I got rid of all my 💩 back in the UK. You just don't need that much stuff in Thailand. The west has been failing for many years now and I just feel sorry for people that have to put up with the bs.
Spot on Andy.
Totally agree.
Spot on mate will be leaving FNQ at the end of the year to move to Thailand hopefully for good, cant wait
Hopefully none of the "baddies" follow us here 🤣
Hey Ricky. Great videos. I’m from Perth originally but now in Ubon and loving it.
Just something about your International Drivers License. Technically they are no good after 6 month so you will loose any insurance you may have. But because you have it getting a Thai driver’s license is very easy. All you have to do an eye sight test and a reflex test….no examination practical or written. They give you 2 years to start then 5+ after that.
Keep up the good work
Cheer mate, I have looked into it. The issue I have is I have to go to immigration to apply for the certificate of residency, then go back again. That's 9 hours of driving just for that, being over 2 hours from my immigration department. Really not worth it at the moment. But next time I am down in Korat City I will get the first step sorted, depending on timing.
Hi Ricky🧐Living here, in lreland☘️summer’s aren’t bad, bright at 5am until 10pm. But winters are 50 shades of grey, bloody well depressing .l have been to Thailand 🇹🇭 many times, and loved it there, the only thing I’d miss if I went to live in Thailand is my pint of Guinness 👍
I hear Ireland is great and the people are fantastic. My heritage goes back to Ireland so wouldn't mind visiting one day, regardless of the weather. Also would love to checkout the Gaelic Football seeing as it has similarities to Aussie Rules Football
Great video and good relevant content that i can still relate to after 15 years here, btw if you're after more of an AFL fix, the Thailand Tigers Football Club (which I'm a big part of) host the AFL Asian championship this year and for the next 3 years with ~30 teams from all across Asia attending, if you're keen, we also host the AFL GF with Austcham which is a favorite in every Aussies calender here, let me know if you're interested and keep up the good content
Cheer mate, you've got my attention with the Thailand Footy Club
Do you have 59year old in the team?
Happiness lies in the hands of each individual,its how we can manage to fix the situation in each day of our life.
Hi Ricky, i am new to your channel. Thanks for sharing mate, love what you are doing and i understand it all. Keep living the dream mate, cheers 🙌🍻
Appreciate it and welcome 👍
I have to agree with your points!
Great vid lad,
El nino has been locked in by the US weather mob, not by the BOM yet due to Pacific Ocean temps. Expect less rain this year and try to conserve some of that water.
Cheers
Simon
Yeah I've heard alot of the drought talks. But the missus reckons down worry about it lol. I guess one cyclone and Thailand gets loads of water dumped on it
Hey Ricky.. Great move early in life... I always thought Thailand was for my Xmas holidays.. Now living the dream with my Thai wife beachside near koh same..
Well Ricky it’s about 12 degrees here tonight in Melbourne and I get jealous of you escaping this cold depressing place to be living in hot and humid rural Thailand 🇨🇷💥
I loved everything you said mate as you nailed if . As I am a very similar guy like yourself in how see my daily life in Thailand once I finally get there un the future .
I’m also the type to spend my day being busy with keeping fit , eating well , but I would certainly like to have a handful of guys like yourself that would be good to stay in touch with from time to time so it still feels like home .
I intend to also start a you tube Chanel based on a good living a good healthy lifestyle using my age as a motivation to show so many retired farrangs that try here is a much better alternative to sitting at bars day in day out drinking , smoking and spending truck loads of money on bar girls and happy endings .
I don’t understand how so many farrangs hit Thailand with that mentality and desire to slowly kill themselves and blowing all of that hard earned money .
I think you have your time so well allocated and can understand how busy you would be with all of the things that you do each day .
And you are so right about happiness in Thailand , as I am definitely not a wealth person , and when I visit my wife’s family in rural Thailand ( Leoi ) they have very little , and when I with them , it makes me feel so relaxed and any thoughts about material things being important .
By the way “ most of the trolls are usually older angry unhappy farrangs that are the type that get to Thailand and simply winge about all of the things that make Thailand such a great place to live .
And they get jealous of people like yourself that are living a happy life with very little . As they could never do what you are doing .
Anyway Ricky keep the great videos coming as your opinions and mindset is exactly what I like and listen to and enjoy following your journey in what life in Isan
Is like especially coming from Melbourne 🇦🇺👍
Cheers mate, definitely not jealous of the 12 degrees back in Melbourne 😂. Sounds like you've got it all figured out, definitely have the right mindset for living out here mate. You'll love it when you do, keep me updated and of course share your channel when you do make one 👍
@@RickyIsaan thanks mate
I certainly will “
And but the way mate , I think it’s about time about you swap that Mercedes shirt for a lovely papaya Maclaren , now that we have an up and coming future world champion from your home town Melbourne in Oscar piastri 🇦🇺👍
I would and I did I've been here for 25 yrs
You're an intelligent man
Thank you for sharing your wonderful life in Thailand
Cheers Charles
Great video mate. Looks beautiful where you are
Definitely is mate. Love it
The rules and BS one has to endure in Victoria is staggering. Don’t do this, don’t do that; don’t think this, don’t think that. Leftard silliness and intellectual BS is tiring. I’m leaving Aus. when the time is right.
Enjoyed the vid Ricky! Lucid and concise- keep it up. 👍
Yeah buddy . That is my plan as well leaving Victoria ASAP considering my finances and having a better life living there with my Thai partner who wants to spend the rest of her life with me 👍🙏❤
Great Vlog Ricky I also love Thailand as opposed to Australia. Well done, look forward to more of your Vlogs' Have a great day Jeff.
Appreciate Jeff. Thanks for the comments too 👍
You can have the best of both worlds. Aus is only a few hours away if you needed to return.
Spot on. Easy direct flight back to Aus whenever needed
Im new subscriber. The matrix for sure well done on the move. Minimart looks good with windows.
Cheers mate, appreciate it and welcome to the channel 🙏 👍 definitely happy with the Minimarts renovation
Thanks for sharing brother, you're living the dream. Keep doing your thing my man
Cheers mate, appreciate it and happy to share
Im 57 now and worked out I will need to keep working until at least 70 to be able to afford to stay in Australia....so will relocate to Philippines in the next year or so...
It's absolute madness. And then at 70 you'll probably still need to budget or be cautious. People should be absolutely enjoying themselves at the age
I am the same age as you Richard and couldn’t agree more , me and my wife are renting here in Melbourne and we need to save as much as we can in the next 10 years before finally escaping this ridiculously expensive country that most struggle to survive each month .
The only other way to get out of here early is to save up enough money to build a moderate home on my wife’s land back in Thailand , and start up some kind of business or start a side hustle here online that could create a passive income that you can operate in a mobile way , that you no need to live here in Melbourne anymore run it .
After watching this I think I’ve made my mind up to move to Thailand to get out of the rat race I’m 47 so will have to wait until 50 to do it properly I guess unless you know another way Ricky 😊
I'd say look over the visas and match it to your requirements. People do the border runs every few months. I also believe there is a Muay Thai Visa where you can train in a gym and get a year visa, could be fun 😂. And could essentially get you a year closer to 50
On the point of not being able to hear the formula 1 on the telly, check to see if it's bluetooth compatible. If it is you can link it to bluetooth headphones. Another plus of that is they have a 10m range, so you can still hear the action if you need to move around the house.
Think it's onky the 2nd race during the past three season where I couldn't hear it due to the rain 😂. So it's not all the time and could still see the racing. Definitely a good idea with the Bluetooth though
@@RickyIsaan Fair dinkum. The missus hates hearing the footy, so they come in handy for me. With the twins on the way, might come in handy for you too. lol. All the best mate!
I hear you. I spent 3 months in 2022 in my girlfriends village in the Kalasin area. I had been to the village several times previously, but for only short times.
Unfortunately it is not for me. The boredom got to me, other than a Belgium guy and my GF , they were the only people who could speak English.
I admire you for giving it ago, but it is not for me, I spent years working on farms in New Zealand, so I am not afraid of hard work or farm life by any means.
I definitely agree it's not for everyone. Probably why so many foreigners prefer living amongst each other in tourist cities
The atmosphere is very good 👍
I agree 👍
All makes sense to me Ricky. I'm a former Victorian too. One thing, you mentioned people with their $750k houses and their holiday homes 555. $750k will only get you some shithole waaaaay out west in Melbourne with no amenities and you have to squint driving into work and squint on the way home. I doubt those battlers have a holiday home 555. I get the point though
The pricing is crazy. You're absolutely right you'll get a tiny piece of land with no yard in Tarniet or Clyde for that so called 'bargain price' lol
@@RickyIsaan so true mate , as my dad lives in tarneit and my mate lives in clyde and for $750k all you get is a small 3 bedroom house on a postage stamp size land and the traffic is a nightmare due to about a million people all living their because it is the cheapest area for an entry point for getting into the housing market for first home Byers .
Can you imagine what you can get in Thailand for that same amount 17 million baht 🤪 you would build a mansion on a few rye with a tennis court , swimming pool , gymnasium , night club and maybe even a bowling alley . # 555
I loved your reasons. Enjoy your life.
lol I relate to the F1 times, its perfect here
Hi All Aussies, I am Thai and Australian citizen. now live in Perth. I do have big block about 400 Rai in Chiang Mai. if you want to live and retirement in Thailand lets me know.
Yes must admit being a distance from KFC,pizza hut and 7/11 is a real health coup.
You can adopt Thai culture, I live in America most of my whole life , i couldn’t move to any country.
Looks similar to where I am love my walks with dog
I'm sure the dog loves it too 👍
@@RickyIsaan and how's your bike rides going, my motorbike just gone in don't know whats wrong just won't start
@@thaitraveller9756 that's unfortunate about your bike. Yeah my rides are alright, same old I guess. Enjoyed abit in the rain last week
I left Australia long long time ago.
My only down side I have drive 62km to have game golf, great place catch up with guys.
True didn't think about something like Golf. Not many around out here, but I guess there's always a spot that can work as your own personal driving range. I do dislike that there is minimal sporting ovals/facilities overall in rural Thailand
@rickyisaan yes have driving range 6rai land fruit and banana on boundary, bit of investment land for my dauther.
I'm planning the same move in a few months also. Mostly the same reasons as you mentioned.
Maybe a stupid question. But I'll be getting a PS5 for online gaming.
Do you ever experience lag playing with your friends online?
If you're playing with friends on certain severs where they are based you will have increased latency depending how far that server is. Can't avoid that regardless of the internet. I'd often play Warzone on Aus servers and it wasn't too bad, but definitely a difference from playing on Asian. However the internet speeds here are amazing, much better than what we can get in Australia
@@RickyIsaan thanks for the reply really great to no.
Keep up the amazing videos.
What about when you 50+ Ricky?
Thailand ain’t gunna look after you!
People can put Australia down but l am thankful that l’ve made enough money to retire here in los. You Ricky may never get the pension and will lose your Medicare after 5 years. I retired at 56 and moved to Thailand but will never receive pension due to my hard work and great opportunities in Australia.
Hope you have a back up plan.
Good luck 👍
Thailand won't but it's customary for Thai children to look after their parents, especially out here in Isaan. Expecting two daughters very soon and putting plenty away to invest in their education, obviously anything could happen however but with current incomes and the evolving online income opportunities that will continue, I'm not stressed. Got my bachelor degree as an 'insurance policy'. Plus Australia isn't gonna let a citizen be homeless, it's the land of endless handouts.
AI is the real issue for jobs worldwide, not just in Australia, billions around the world will lose employment and its coming super fast. Curious to see how any nation will handle that. The future regardless is going to be messy for many I believe
@@anthony7091 I'll be watching live. But pies are gonna be hard to match 👍
@@RickyIsaan Ricky, l actually own a bulldog here in Thailand. This Friday l might let him inside to watch his team get smashed! 🤣
Hey Ricky. Just a thought. Not this far on my project house in Thailand. But I am thinking about using solar panels to avert the load sound of the rain on the tin roof. Run it buy your Ms. and see if she thinks it would work? You said she was Elon musk right? 😂
Not sure, never heard rain on a solar panel tin roof before 😂. But you'd assume it probably would reduce the noise in sections. I'm not that fussed, can't say it rains that hard often
@@AorandPaulinThailand probably alot better at keeping out the heat too
Should be a walk in the park for the pies this Friday 😅
You got a few outs I've noticed. But you should win, even at Marvel. We do have a decent recent record against you, so could be a decent game
I like countryside wonderful
It's a great relaxing life
I don't know about you but I hate being felt like a foreigner in my own country.
Out here in Isaan they love the fact that a foreigner is living in their small town. Personally I feel more welcomed than being in AUS. But everyone is different. When we visit a holiday destination or Bangkok you feel like another tourist in the eyes of the Thais compared to being welcome here in Isaan.
❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Yep I here you it’s all correct - the government wants us to fall into a matrix / system - people are grumpy here - drivers getting worse - depressing weather ( Melbourne) - it’s about quality of life and a better life - congratulations
Appreciate it mate. When I went back for a short visit it actually shocked me how aggressive everyone was on the roads. The roads are literally nothing compared to Thailand and so many people are relaxed and happy
Hi Ricky. How far away from Bua Yai are you? And, do you know how much the Train to BK costs (First class sleeper cabin) is please?
About half hour and unfortunately have absolutely no idea on the trains. Keen to utilise the bullet train once it's operating but don't know much about the current service
👏🏻👍🏻 Have you come across another farang in Isaan? Thinking about Ryan from lifeinbamboo
Great video!
There is a few on TH-cam. I watch Ryan's channels from Buriram. I also like 'Life in Thailand' he's on a farm in Nong Bua Lam Phu and makes some great content. Where I live, I might see one or two farangs in town a month, but if I go to the big towns you usually see a couple here and there. But there's definitely not many around
Total agreement Ricky there is always plenty to do around the house and then if you need to buy anything its off to chaiyaphum,be it big c,makro,home pro it usually takes up most of the day.For me going to the market at 6am to buy vegetable waste for the ducks and chooks destroys having a sleep in. I like to shop at local stores where possible,however most times they do not have stock or the stock they do have is inferior quality-usually from china and grossly overpriced due to high import exise.
A
What visa are you on in Thailand mate...Can you do a video on this subject..
Will do Richard, Thai partner
Don’t get caught being a foreigner ands not have a thai drivers license they do not except international license of any kind
What’s a good city in isaan for dating?
Hit Thaimatch first. Also. Learn to speak a little Isaan and Thai. The two languages have a bit in common. Very few people in Isaan speak English. It's very difficult to have a relationship with someone who doesn't speak a lot of English if you don't speak a lot of their language either.
I married my wife from Nakhon Phanom last month. They're just the best people and I was very lucky to meet a girl who speaks conversational level English.
Wouldn't have a clue Billy. But like Steve said probably best to learn some Thai as English is definitely less known out here. I'd have to say any big Isaan city might have what you're looking for. Nakhon Ratchasima is huge and Khon Kaen is pretty big too with an airport that has cheap flights to from BKK
Print money from thin air, but charge you and 'governmments' interest.
Hello Rick I wonder way you decieded to left AU.from the country high paid salary and high quality of life cost living not so different from Thailand.why your option to moving to TL???? if you not Thai nationality the problem one thing for you is medication you must pay full.that's very expensive for normal price that Thai ppl.paid for it.Good luck I think this season very not so hot for you bcuz if you travel around It's every where looks greener.rainning season very great.If you lover herbal foods vegan you came along the right way.but avoid too much drunk and sin place or city.otherwise your money is not safe.Have a great day.
Not sure if the quality of life is as great as people think for Australia, particularly when you look at work life balance. Healthcare is very affordable in Thailand too. I don't drink so I think I'll be safe in that sence. But appreciate your comment
Me!!!
Do you live in Udon Thani Ricky?
Just East of Chaiyaphum City
Well to be fair lots of this is just not having a full time job :)
Pretty much. Escaping that 'Matrix' lifts the overall quality of life dramatically
What Visa are you on? You dont look 50 to me :)
Thai partner visa
@@RickyIsaan ahh, ok 👍
how do you support yourself over in thailand
The missus has a few forms of income. Plus life in the village is very cheap. No debts, mortgage or rent. I discuss it more in this previous vlog th-cam.com/video/z-iVNK0qtT0/w-d-xo.html
@@RickyIsaan thanks for getting back to me
Australia these days in not the place I grew up in. I live in the nanny state, Victoria.
Well summed up sir. Often the negative comments are people trapped inside the box. Or they haven't travelled enough to realize the world is a bigger place than their fixed reality.
It was a very American name, so his idea of Australia was probably something he'd seen from Crocodile Dundee. The negatively didn't bother me, found it rather amusing
I'm 35km from udon Thani ,retired, 15year ago l planed to leave Australia because even then l knew l couldn't afford to retire in Australia and was right .
It's only getting more difficult John
@@RickyIsaan l'm from Sydney, yeah not good ,was the lucky country not any more.
@@johnwelch461that’s my line , was the Lucky Country
@@philliproberts7294 I voted with my feet , I’ve built a house in Thailand, finished cost 20 % of a Australian house , no need for the endless Bureaucracy, of councils permits , fees ect ect , cost of living a fraction of the Lucky Country,
Only our politicians could F UP , what was a great country,
Are you blokes who’ve retired receiving an Australian pension ? I’m wondering if I can when I retire ?
I agree with you Ricky with the number 1 reason to move was the weather and the cost of living here in Melbourne . Even the train fares have just gone up to $ 10.00 a day ticket or $ 5.00 one way into the city compare in Bangkok 45 Baht for the highest charge on the BTS . Envy you living there
$10 is ridiculous. Once the airport rail is operating they'll probably charge you $40 for that too 😂
@@RickyIsaan Don't laugh, the train from the Sydney airport to central station is $16 and is not very far at all. (13 minutes including stops)
You do realise 45 baht is more than 10% of the thai average daily wage. That a lot of Thais have to work 6 days a week. So the matrix is alive and well in Thailand except for the foreigner who can take advantage of the exchange rate
@@snitchy87 you mean minimum wage, not average wage. the average thai in bangkok (which is where the BTS is), is not making 9,000 thb a month and those who make 9,000 thb a month are not riding the BTS.
@Vishypoo the point being that for a large number of thai people 45 baht for a single trip is not cheap, and the $10 fare mentioned in Melbourne is for a day pass, which on the bts is 150 baht or $6.50aud so considering wage disparity it's no better than the West.
Good video Ricky, I agree with you 100%. Thailand is so much better as they don't focus that much on materialistic things. I am busy going through all my stuff at the moment, as I will be moving to Thailand next year and it is just crazy how much crap I have, so looking forward to downscale. Eating local is the best thing you can do for your body, minus the MSG, but that you can generally tell them not to put in your food. Keep up the content.
Absolutely mate. Even the MSG is turning out to be more of a 80s myth I believe, but definitely doesn't hurt if you don't have it. You'll absolutely love it when you make the move Denni
Fecking thousands apparently.
I very much agree with all your reasons for enjoying life in Thailand, well explained. I also hated the cold, wet winters in Melbourne with the only bonus being able to watch the doggies play. Talking about footy big game tonight, dogs playing swans in Sydney tonight. Must win game, go doggies!!
Not feeling confident but definitely need the win
Well done mate, leaving melb soon, considering Isaan
Definitely worth a look. Some of the cities out here are fantastic
You my man have got your head switched on. People here cannot see what’s possible outside of their little worlds competing against the Jones’s next door.
Appreciate it mate. Something just clicked along the way and suddenly I didn't care what care I drove or how flash my clothing looked and started doing what made me happy 😊
@@RickyIsaan You won. Most people get through their entire lives without truly being happy. For me the weather and the people over there are enough for real happiness, even the closeness of family that they have is something that we should aspire to.
I'd move to Thailand tomorrow if I had a passive income and could talk the wife into it....
6:15 I am a Singaporean. I visit Thailand often. I learnt the Thai language in Singapore. And it is true in Singapore. Too many licensing, government wants us to align our personal goals with the government's, expensive to live, etc. I always feel a deep sense of peace and spiritual freedom in Thailand. Nobody there expect anything from me. And I love the Thai countryside. Singapore is a squeeze.
Thank so much I open my eyes too. I feel want to go back to living in Thailand.
Im so sorry for your lost rip
Good summary- there is a special appreciation that comes from living in rural Thailand - a simple quietness and community based life realism- Happiness and gratitude/ it’s natural - Your in the 5% of ex pats that live rural ( Real Thailand ) I wish you luck and think you’ve already got the right answers
I’d choose rural Thailand over Australia and I was planning to move at the end of the step sons high school in 3 years, but the misses is worried about money, so she wants to stay here for another 7 years. Countless governments keep on with their individual agendas, even thou the Australian voting public have voted against them voting previous governments out of power. Working poor are taxed too much to pay for people that refuse to work. Misses can’t understand why people who are able bodied but don’t go to work, until we move in 7 years, I’ll have to just put up with visiting.
Hoping you both find a way to move earlier. Not wrong about the benefits for those who refuse to work, maybe we're the silly ones Jason 😂
@@RickyIsaan I sometimes think that, but then I could have overseas trips to Thailand or afford to build a house there.
Good move
Melbourne is finished
I love kamala and karon area
Thank you for sharing your wonderful life in Thailand
Great video…
TOTALLY agree with all the points.
Cannot wait till I can get to Thailand..👍🇹🇭❤️
Surely number one reason for going there are the women. To counter that the problem is difficult to earn money. That is why it is mainly old guys that have enough savings to live there
great points mate iv got similar reasons why I want to move
Hope you find a way eventually Joffa. Always happy to see you pop up, OG from my failed twitch streaming days lol
@@RickyIsaan where there is a will there is a way and I will find that way haha. I wouldn't say a failure more like a learning curve it seems you have found another way and it looks like it's working so keep it up 👍 always happy to show support for a genuine dude like yourself.
do you Ricky!
Spot on Tom
100% agree with you..Unfortunately I’m still in (near) Sydney and my wife has no wish to return to live in BKK. So we visit yearly, so I can dream what might have been...enjoy and thanks for yr videos.
Hopefully one day your dream becomes a reality
Visit the Love Philippines
My mother in law retirement 800 Thai Baht a month, try to live on that, happy Thais 😂
Not all about the money Pete
You're right on point. Australia has lost the plot.😢
