DAN: Trees are the most dangerous to be under when lightning hits... I know that is counter-intuitive but it is true... We lost a number of people recently to lightening strikes... The take-away to all of us was learning that trees are dangerous in lightning storms because they attract the strike. None of us knew that before these deaths. All of those killed had taken refuge under trees.
Wow, thanks for sharing! I better share that in a future video. :-(
I've had a couple of memorable moments that were what I consider Eureka moments on this app
One of your videos about slow travelling on tourist visa was /is one of them.
Personally, this channel is like an achievement unlock /cheat code to life.. thank you for sharing. It has helped inspire me to do my own personal "great reset" toward abundance, and less stress.
There really is a learning curve to living abroad. When I first came to Thailand I was spending about 3k a month, mostly because I was living my best life living like a rockstar. After about 3-4 months of living the rockstar life I focused on my budget and over the next few months I was able to cut that in half. So that’s $1,500, and with paying the expenses of my gf too. I never really saw a need to go to the outdoor markets because I eat mostly whole foods which are pretty affordable in Big C. My girlfriend sticks with a Thai diet which is also very cheap. If you move abroad just beware that there may be a pretty steep learning curve and budget accordingly.
One more thing to note, and I’m not bashing Thai ladies at all but if you get a Thai girlfriend they will try to get you to spend every dime on them. This is because no matter what you tell them you are rich compared to them and their experience is that foreigners don’t stick around. Again I’m not mentioning this in a derogatory way. I went through about a handful of girlfriends that despite agreeing to my budget would always push it to the limit. When you get a new gf they will always ask you why you broke up, because they don’t want to make the same mistakes. So every subsequent gf was better and better at sticking to the budget.
One last tip I would give is what I wish I would’ve known about is the size of protection for your jimmy, it’s Thai size, this goes for many places outside the US. So if you know what I’m talking about you’ll want to forget packing clothes or anything else and bring a nice stockpile. You can buy all the clothes you need in Thailand for $100-$200. If you want to be safe and pay for testing like me before you do anything the cost adds up.
Just imagine how many guys realize in the moment that the large protection they bought isn’t big enough and do the deed anyway.
I apologize if this isn’t the type of channel for this but this is an important topic.
I know what you mean. I bring my own from the US but wonder what happens if I run out, it’s not like they have Walgreens over there, just Watson pharmacy!
This makes me laugh so hard. I cant imagine going through customs with 1000 count of condoms in my luggage.
Good advice on gf and budgets. I want to feel sorry for you on the jimmy issue, but how can I for a guy who is at least getting to use his jimmy 😏.
Alternatively get a GF that isnt broke and has her own cash..they're out there....
@@jonhay75 eh, it depends if she likes her job. Most make between 10-15k baht a month working 6, 10 hour days, so it’s pretty difficult for someone to be happy slaving away like that. A $1,500 a month budget isn’t a high price to pay for the happiness of two people. Plus you have to plan any activities around work and forget about any traveling. The important thing for me is that she’s smart and understands that money is better spent on experiences than shoes and purses.
I think you represented Samui well! A person can experience Samui very affordably but also can be quite expensive in places, resorts and tours.
A few things you forgot to mention. The retirement visa costs you money to procure, and one of the requirements is that you provide 50,000 baht per month in income and money in a Thai bank. At 36 USD per baht, you would need to prove a $1,388 monthly income to get the retirement visa. I lived in Samui for 5 years, and the biggest headache is always getting the visa in order.
Two other ways. One, deposit $26k USD in a Thai bank so you don't have to show any income. Some people that can't deposit $ or show income. The just do visa runs every 60 days or so. You could also move the the Philippines in live for 36 months on tourist visa extentions.
@@VagabondAwake there are quite a few visa agencies that show the bank money for you. They charge extra for that service. I pay 25,000 baht per year for my agency to put the money up and get me the retirement visa. They also go to immigration every 90 days to report for me and get the new 90 day extension.
Hi Nickie, before you applied for the retirement visa in order to live in Thailand, did you open the bank account in a Thai bank in the US or did you travel to Thailand on a tourist visa and do everything there? I'm asking because I'm not sure about the order in which it's done. Thank you
@@OSOMHealth - That's allot of work every 90 days. People intend to keep that going all thru retirement? I'll just move to Florida and be done with it.
@@Hard_Car_Life your land lord
This was one of your best videos yet. Really good that you showed a snapshot of places to rent, what you can get for various lengths of stay. And also liked the quick shopping summaries and things to do parts too. Keep up the great work.
Thanks a ton!
So glad you guys are back in Thailand! I am going to be living there within 1 year God willing!
Extremely helpful information, appreciated from Toronto Canada
Wow, Wow. So jealous. I am over 60, but still working. And for the worst, I have never been to Koh Samui.😒
That was a really informative video Dan, I really appreciate it. I actually just watch these videos because I want to travel Asia again sometime, just not with tourist hotel prices lol. I still can't believe how cheap it is to rent an apartment!
I love samui spent 2 week there 2019. Spend one week staying with one of the massage girls apartment. She showed me great places to eat
Excellent video as always Dan, thank you. For those interested in insurance and retirement Visa costs, my top tier insurance will be Pacific Cross Ultimate at $210 USD. I estimate retirement Visa at $100 a month. Since I am 1 person I reduce the food budget a little and increase transportation. My total for the month will be $1100 to $1200. I give myself $300 per month for travel so final total is $1500 per month. I don't drink. Make sure you get an apartment close to restaurants and markets as it reduces transportation costs. I don't ride motorbikes. I hope this helps.
Great content!! I've visited Thailand twice and considering staying long-term. Thanks for the links for places to stay and restaurant info.
Koh Samui looks incredible, thank you for sharing!
My GF lives on Koh Samui, your video makes me hope that I can maybe move there next year from Germany :)
Thanks Dan and Qiang for a great video and for all your hard work in showing us around. I fully intend to retire to Phuket and expect to live there for around 1500 per months (GBP). I lived there recently for three years and once my retirement visa was in order (there’s ways and means) and I hooked up to paying the local national insurance for med I had no prob. My personal take was to avoid getting a long time girlfriend and I never bothered with a car but bought a good gravel bike from the local Decathlon. Happy days.
Netflix couldn't afford this...quality.
Another nice video even with a bit of a storm. Thanks for the breakdown. I tend to binge a few videos at a time with my morning coffee. 👍🏝
Hi, Dan & Qiang, I enjoyed your video. Full of information and your intelligent insights.
I am surprised at the cost of living coming in so cheaply. I was expecting it to be one of the most expensive places given what you say it is very reasonable.
Thank you for your research and for sharing with us.
Take care GOD Bless you and yours. M
Wow! This is one of your best Dan! I really wish Thailand had a visa policy like the Philippines 🤨
I've always wanted to visit Koh Samui. . glad to see it is not overun with condo towers and mega resorts and still has affordable rent! But I've got a young child, a home and rental units in Canada and can't retire yet.. Hopefully someday!
Samui is a very big island. It has expensive resorts and a pretty ugly city center but most of the island is paradise.
I always enjoy the two of you and your travels. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Great video Dan Thank you so much !
The best part of this vid was the intro and that walk on the beach.
Always the best out there. Attitude of gratitude for all your efforts, continued success.
My new favorite channel.
Hope you visit Koh Phangan island, very different to Koh Samui, many foreigners live there full time and some have businesses, especially restaurants, so much amazing and diverse food is available. I stayed at Wonderland Healing Center, also a Yoga sanctuary, if your into Yoga and healing I can’t recommend it enough 😊
Hi. Very informative video.very realistic. 900 doller. Or 1100 doller with alcohol and intertement. I think health insurance will be about 100 to 150 doller. Stil very affordable. You can do this budget also in some European countries as albania. Romania or Antalya in Turkey.
Thank you for your videos, they’re the best.
Good work as always. But hey Dan, you left a tip one time in one of your vids and I can't find it, but just a small tip about using ATMs. Some button to push or option about the rate. I think you said to click "no". But I can't recall. Would love to see you do a vid about just general SEA travel tips like that. Keep up the good work.
Google koh phangan vagabond awake
@@VagabondAwake Will do, thanks Dan
I really enjoy your channel subscribed👍👍👍👍
Very useful content. BTW, when you held up that tub of popcorn, I almost choked on my coffee. 🤣
Great info again guys, much appreciated!
Any time!
Another great video, thanks you all😁
Thanks for watching!
Hey dan, City Hunter is the title of a pretty well liked Korean Drama that had a Thaiand connection. I would say that if you were ever bored you might check it out but, How could you possibly ever be bored. Subscribed for years and still loving your videos.
I love the comedy drama, Fresh off the Boat, in the USA. I can't remember if they are Korean or Taiwanese though.
Your spot on with the cost of a scooter. I purchased a 2021 Yamaha 125 scooter with low miles for my girlfriend 3 weeks in Manila for $900US
Nice one Dan and Qiang 🍀🙏🎩
Very good break down and an excellent site in that link. The rain doesn't bother us living on Samui but was awful when vacationing, the house and location matters.
I love this place I'm ready to go now! Thank you for sharing and educating us about these opportunities.
I love these budgets, but the real question is what are you paying per month for expat medical insurance. Most comprehensive plans are as much as this whole budget per month.
Its all good and fun until you get seriously ill and you and up with a 120K medical bill because you were hospitalized for a few weeks without proper insurance.
Great question Shawn, That varies greatly based on age and other factors. I have one report where I explain what I do about health care and another where I show you how I search for health insurance.
What I do about health care: vagabondbuddha.com/two-biggest-risks-of-retiring-early-overseas/
Report where I search for health insurance: vagabondbuddha.com/best-health-insurance-for-ex-pats-in-philippines/
By the way, once you search for health care you will start seeing more offers for health insurance and travelers insurance when you are online. Health insurance is one of the most dynamic or changing industries in the travel world because so many people around the world are deciding to live or retire outside their home country. So do a search every year before you renew to make sure you have the best available for your personal circumstances because new ones come out every few months. Thanks for asking so I could answer this for many people! Dan
They have automated water stations if you're willing to pick it up. Around 10 baht for 20 litres. 80 litres a month for under $2.00.
Lots of savings can be made around the country. AIS internet charges me around $8 per month. Great service as well.
You can approach the fishing boats as they come in early morning. They are more than happy to sell to you before they head off to the markets.
The places in Samui where it's quiet is where you pick up cheap food or just about anything.
That's cheaper than it was 40 years ago and way more options and convenience. I don't know why, maybe it was just the time of year, but even being right on the beach it was extremely hot and humid, real jungle. Like you said Dan, you need A/C there, but that's not too expensive especially in condo's where you can get the government rate and usually the use of a pool. I liked it there a lot more than Phuket. I felt a good vibe there.
I was in my early thirties when I first lived in Thailand and I made my home base in Pattaya, and for most people older than that, I would recommend that they spend a few months first in Jomtien to acclimate a bit to Thailand and take exploratory trips to other parts of Thailand from there.
If you are from the states, I think you can still get a six-month visa before you go and probably a three-month extension after that.
@@kippsguitar6539 Go kipp yourself guitar boy you're not a decent person.
@@kippsguitar6539 Oh so these are not normal Thailand rental prices? Shoot!
Hi Dan. I am new subscriber living in Pattaya over a year now. Loved the video and your breakdown of living costs. The only extras I have on top of your monthly costs are girlfriend allowance 15k baht, medical insurance 5k baht.
Thank you for your cost of living numbers Dreamer! We are all different. Each individual must do an exploratory visit before they will know their own numbers. Have a great day! Dan

Guys,sugar is legal drug now. So fruits is sugar too. I choose fruits😊 can't be addicted😊.
I love these kinds of videos - entertaining and informative. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks fantastic 😄🍀🙏
Nice to visit but I don’t think I could live on an island long term. That being said I got my flight booked for Bangkok mid December. It will be my fist international trip since early 2020.
Hello guys,there re lots of diffrent fruits in thailand. Fruits re healthier than cookies,cakes.😊
I want to visit with my husband and kid. I think I’d chill by the beach and go grocery shopping 🛒 maybe 125k. I cook at home and we are pretty frugal.
Glad to see you're back in Thailand. I'm happy you enjoy the Philippines but I don't share your love for their Island life or culture. To each his own. But I do love Thai style living. We especially love our home Port of Chiang Mai. I doubt we will ever sell our home in our gated community here it is amazing. But we truly love the cheap travel all around Thailand. Believe it or not kho Samoui is one of the more expensive neighborhoods in the country
What a great video! Good info on apartments and food. I really enjoyed it. The prices for apartments that you showed were very reasonable. I would imagine that the prices quoted for long term rentals are substantially different than the prices shown when you look up LTR online.
Mr Gee, Here is how we find cheap apartments all over the world now. Watch the video and read the text to get all of our tips:

Heya Dan, are you in KS now? KS is my island paradise. Always loved it there. I've done three detox's there at Spa Samui. It's just north of Lamai, last I went there, assuming they're still open. Highly, highly recommended. Even if you don't do a full detox, their drinks (the Orange one and the Green one) are the most fantastic drinks I've had, like in my life. Personally, I stayed in Chewang, near the StarBucks and Lamai on the beach in bungalows. When I was there it was 650 baht/night for the bungalow, but that was around a decade ago so the price may have gone up. Just such a wonderful time there. Hope you looked over Secret Buddah (or was it Secret Garden, sorry I forgot).
We just moved north into Malaysia. Qiang is meeting a new family member (baby).
@@VagabondAwake Definite congrats to Qiang and the new member of her family !
Good honest reporting , thanks
Thanks for watching!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks!
As usual, great vid.
Some guys in Thailand pay only $150 to 200 usd for a condo a month. Just gotta look for the deals not on websites.
Very nice. The only thing I don't like about these countries is the weather. I just can't stand the humidity. We just spent a week in Hawaii, and the weather was nice. A week later, it became hot and humid even in December.
What a beautiful spot. Maybe I missed it but where did you land in order to get there. How was it to travel there? Remember I'm coming from Canada. Lol Stay safe guys. Cheers 😙🥂😘
We took a bus and ferry but you can fly into Koh Samui.
Great video Dan
Believe me when I say that I really mean to be respectful, but what you're doing is absolutely beautiful and very helpful and insightful. Awesome job. The only issue I have is the fact that you use your wife as a selling point. She's very nice and beautiful and you both are very nice people. I am sure of that but when you watch your videos with your younger kids and the lady, your wife in this case is wearing those very tight. Bikinis makes people feel uncomfortable. I hope you don't take it the wrong way
Thanks for sharing your feedback. :-)
The beach may be a dream , but in reality it is tooooo hot to spend the day on the beach ...mornings and evenings is more real ...
We usually sit in the shade (but be careful of falling coconuts!)
Samui , Thailand isn't the most beautiful beach paradise , anyway this island serve all the laid back and cool off vibes u need..
Nice to have only a suitcase and laptop. I made the mistake of moving way to much over to the Philippines, have a house and shop full of so many things. Near impossible to move, near impossible to sell it off, only give it away. My first few years were much better with less junk...enjoy your vids
To be honest any budget under $1,000 U.S. dollars a month is tight and unrealistic unless the U.S. dollar continues to gain strength which I doubt it. I think $2,000 to $4,000 U.S. dollars range is more realistic to have comfortable and enjoyable lifestyles
FOR FOUR THOUSAND A MONTH YOU CAN LIVE GREAT IN THE US
So 90% of people in Thailand live in poverty or an uncomfortable life?... if you think you need $2000-4000, do your own video proving why...
Someone’s never left home 😂
I'm living in St Pete FL for less than $4K a month very comfortably and, this includes mortgage!
@@San_Dee someone didn't watch the video either! LoL
i wonder how much you can save living there if you invested in a decent blender and a smaller air fryer and bought from the local markets and focused on health rather than the night life and lived in the quieter part
I spent a year in Koh Samui, I was working at the time. The taxi mafia is very strong there and has resisted all efforts of regulation. No ride apps have been successful there for this reason.
Happy for HIM
I don't drink or party, so I think i could make it on a grand a month
My only criticism of your channel is you never fully cover visa requirements. Budget doesn't matter if you can't cover visa. N I can't afford to move around and find temporary rentals. Otherwise no problem.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Another great video showing us what's possible. I'm getting FOMO feelings because I'm not ready to do this kind of travel for a few years. I fear things will get expensive post pandemic recovery. What do you think?
I hope not!
Amazing place
Hi Dan. Thanks for sharing. Cost wise, what about insurance? Does Thailand require it? Do you buy lt travel insurance? I know you do emergency fund, but I thought some places require health insurance.
When we entered they did not require proof of insurance. :-)
Thank you for your informative and entertaining videos! I like them very much! However, I think your cost of living expenses are incomplete because the costs for a visa and health insurance are missing. Especially the health insurance or additional costs due to a lack thereof can significantly alter the costs of living abroad.
Good point. Both visa and health insurance very greatly based upon the kind selected and age of person so I leave that up to you. :-)
Samui so beautiful island 😲😉🤙❤️🏝🏖
love it
865 bucks is triple the minimum wage in Thailand, so for sure, very easy to live on.
It's 45 times minimum wage. But why would they give that much to foreigners?
This is our estimated cost of living (for us to pay). Thailand is not giving money away.
Please, will you state humidity and mosquito levels wherever you are, thank you?
Bai biển rất dẹp. Rất hiện dại
Beautiful 🥰 Koh Samui
I've been to Ko Samui in 2013. Only thing I didn't like is that it's too much of a party island
One thing not covered here is medical care. What is the avail. in that area and what is the cost. You have to have coverage for an extended stay visa right?
Great question Joseph Larsson, I have one report where I explain what I do about health care and another where I show you how I search for health insurance.

@@VagabondAwake Thanks for the reply. I found a lot of that on another random video. I"m still about 4 years out from retirement without penalty but I and getting really excited about the idea of getting out of the US. I think my vactions over the next 3 years will be to check out expat areas in Philipines/Thailand. Againg thanks for the reply.
I appreciate the time and effort you put into this video so thank you. One question for me is…can you explain your transportation cost of $20? When arriving on day 1 you pay almost half of that getting to your lodging. A scooter rental per day, if lucky, might run you 250 baht($7.00). Not sure how you can only spend $20 a month for transportation in Koh Samui.

lol im on Koh Samui already some time....and for this prices which you show for appartments you get here only trash at the moment....prices where rising hard for rent because of many russians...you need to rent allready longer then 1 year and even then you wont get this prices which you show for a villa with pool. Because to many people and all is rented out. if you find something then its expensive
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Bravo
How do you find these places!! Super! Right on the beach = My dream. Unreal for less than $25.
Good vid and lovely lady

@@VagabondAwake Many thanks you guys for your vids 👍 I have been recommended Hua Hin for relocation from Ireland as i golf and like the beach options.
I have been hearing mixed reports regarding excessive ATM in Thailand , do you have any advice on this 🤔
I have travelled to several S.E.A countries and stayed in the Philippines but to get similar beach life there is much more expensive and i felt the Philippines had more of a "rip off" culture eg. taxis , shopping , bars etc.
Anyways thanks again for your very informative practical videos i have subscribed for further info .. .. .. stay healthy wealthy and wise 👍 🤲

Yes, Sounds like Chung or Sheyoung.
We lived 6 months on a Student Visa attending a SCUBA diving instructor course in Pattaya in 2006. We needed to do a Visa run out of Country to Cambodia after 3 months in Country. There were charter buses to just go to the border, exit, and immediately reenter , then return. We chose to go on a Angkor Wat tour instead. What are the tourist or retirement visa rules these days?

How available are ATMs there for banks in the states like Chase?
I didn't see Chase, but Chase compatible banks are everywhere.
Where do you search for monthly rent in Samui (aside of Booking and Airbnb)? In Bangkok I use Renthub and Hongpak websites where they have short term lease search options, and it's much cheaper as opposed to Booking or Airbnb. Any similar sources for Samui?

Dan, can you also visit Ko Pha Ngan, since it is nearby and post details on amenities and cost of living on that island?
