zhlédnutí 137Před 7 měsíci
These are my thoughts on retiring and having the right mindset living in Thailand. Thailand is an amazing country, for me it’s the weather, culture, beaches, people and cost of living.

    I sympathise with you mate, I hate the return trip, its getting close to 30 times now for me, but there is a great opportunity for work in Melbourne at the moment, my advice would be get your self a white card, you can do it online and its a good step into the construction industry which is booming, before to long your hopefully booking a one way ticket back to LOS 😁

    For me I found getting involved with CZcams, I'm not a content provider but by joining the conversation I began to form friendships and meet many people, they have stayed in my house and I've stayed at their homes in Thailand, building friendships takes time, I returned to work in Australia nearly 2 years ago, but I'm back here every 2 months for a month at a time and make sure I continue to put the effort into those friendships when here

      @@kevinp8108 Kind of. Thailand didn't exist in 1900, just Siam, which included Laos, which was annexed by the French with the rest taking the name Thailand as late as 1940. If you look at what the French and the British did not colonize, you're left with Thailand, with the two colonizing powers agreeing not share a common border to avoid military conflicts. Thais, however, will tell you all kinds of myths and nonsense.
