Almost Retired in Thailand :)

My family and I have made many visits to Thailand. Our teen son was an avid Muay Thai athlete and the best training in the world can be found here. Our original plan was for my wife and son to relocate to Thailand in 2020, and then COVID hit, drastically changing our plans and putting our whole family in limbo.
The time has come. Join us as we share our journey and our experiences.
Many have asked how they might contribute to show appreciation because they found my content helpful or useful. I have created the option to "Buy Me a Coffee"... I am not a big coffee drinker but will put it to good use. Thank you.

Hey guys. I love all your clips and presentations but I was very disappointed with this one as we can clearly see these animals are mistreated and this was not address in your comments.
Did your car cost much?
Why not just doing hairbnb?
Who are you leasing the land from, and how much is the lease per month/year or 30 years?
Well far to expensive, plenty of places for half the price , and all the pools mean Kids kids kids. Don’t go near it.
Congrats, on your lovely open-plan home, ideal if you decide to retire in Thailand. Leasehold houses are common in Europe you can renew the lease , my own home is a 999 year lease 😆 should cover me.
Sorry, but in my opinion this is really too expensive. It's not very big, it's not very luxurious, it's far from Hua Hin city centre and the views from the condo are nothing to write home about. I wouldn't want to live here.
Do you have the major grocery stores in the area where you could get all your needs?
Love your channel, have booked a trip to Hua Hin in September now trying to convince my lovely lady to join me. For some reason she does not like Thailand but hoping her first visit will change her mind. I for one would retire tomorrow there but can't see that happening unless she has a major change of heart.
haha why do people buy houses in thailand you can't own the house you have wasted all your money renting a house for 100 years
Very nice home, thanks for the helpful advice, I hope you both have a happy retirement. One question you mentioned a 30-year land lease, can it be extended on purchase and at what cost? ♥
Our favorite too. We lived on Soi 102 for 6 weeks in March/April 2024 and had many meals there. I think we actually met there once, or maybe near the old couple selling fruit. Well, the restaurant offers a lot of great Thai-food, but their Fish & Chips is also great!
OMG, Kim looks like Julia Roberts! You must have heard that in your lifetime.
Hi guys Congratulations on the new house looks lovely, like yourself I was in real estate & renovation in Australia for many years originally in the car repairs & dealer business so I know a little about buying and selling homes & car I like to help people also with good advice if they want it on these matters been coming to Thailand as a very young man in 1978 on my travels around the world. Having that advantage and going into it with your eyes wide open that’s the main thing. As I am sure you both know you meet so many experts here that know everything but also nothing do the research yourself and find the right people to help you. I’ve just started watching your Vlogs and like them I am also staying here at the moment in Hua Hin doing some research for our permanent retirement holiday / home. Maybe I see you out and about I will stay hello. Keep up the great work Cheers Irish Paul
Wow Who orders 3 meals each at a restaurant? Lucky you were able to take some of it home.
The name is translated to Eng. as "Sister Pueng's Papaya Salad Shop 102 Street" (Pueng means a bee)
Congratulations for your new home. May God bless you live peacefully and happily there always.💖💕💐👍👍
Congrats! Lovely couple, well done🎉
Hi can u tell me realtor you used?
How .much for home
You don't truly own land in the USA either? The Gov't can take it away if you don't pay your taxes or imminent domain. Thre s nothing wrong with this deal in Thailand. Love it
Agreed... never really looked at it that way until some pointed that out here... don't pay your taxes... poof... land is gone.
Thanks again for the information.
You guys look really happy and i am so happy for you!
All is well. Headed to Bangkok, then Malaysia and then the states for me. I'll be back...
Congratulations
Thank you.
A foreigner can't own a house in Thailand
Correct. Thought I was clear in the video. Will be doing an update sometime.
Nice place guys! I am looking forward to moving away as well, but my wife kind of relentless. Enjoy your quiet retirement time. I appreciate your video and your superb info. Wish I could contact you for any advice! Je vous salue de Maryland!
No such thing as an expat. We're immigrants.
I thought the definition of an expat is someone who lives or works in a country other than their own... enlighten me...
@AlmostRetiredinThailand they don't call the Latinos in the U.S. expats. It's not what they call all of the Africans in France or the Romanians in England, etc etc. Expat is a term created by colonialists so that they could pretend they weren't immigrants and were superior to them. It's a racist term.
Which legal adviser you used when you guys bought it?congratulation for did it
I would 100% suggest using both a real estate agent and an attorney and both of ours were amazing and very trustowrthy. The REALTOR would be Andy Dyett - with Hua Hin Property - +66 (0) 86 777 9064 email - andy@huahinpropertyagent.com -- he has been there for a very long time, owns his company with his Thai wife and is also the best source of information.... If you do find a house, we suggest The Attorney would be Piti Suebwonglee Managing Partner, Attorney - with ExpatPro - piti.s@expatpro.co.th M. +66 64 165 6936, +66 80 995 9982 T. +66 99 0701439
What if you wish to sell your house in a few years, will the lease be transferred to the buyer? What if they buyer is Thai, do they have the option to own the land, and in that case how much would it cost them to buy the land?
The "lease" is more of a formality... the lease will transfer and or become a new 30 year for the new buyer. If a Thai buys it, they obtain land ownership.
@@AlmostRetiredinThailand thank you so much. Then really there is no difference between buying and leasing. The property can be sold just like any other property. If you have more information about this and how to setup the lease contract with lawyer then that would be a really helpful video. Thank you once again!
You bought the house, but you don't own the land..
Your missus got lay of the chillies .. reflux is a bugger at 1.34 😂
Great video. You have a beautiful wife man and you are VERY lucky to have her.
Yes agreed
Oh my goodness that looks dangerous
Not so much.
You say the beach is both 250m away and a stones throw away. If you can throw a stone 250m, you should not be wasting your time on you-tube videos but competing in the olympics.
Figure of speech... not literal.
How Christmas there or holiday
If you need a lawyer to handle ladyboy issues let me know...I also do divorce real cheap....Cheers
CONGRATS
Thank you.
You really should shave before you make videos. You're calling it, My Resort, meaning that you own it? You are moving the camera too fast inside the units for us to be able to see anything and you should know what the rent is and tell us and post it.
Thanks for the feedback.
My Resort is the name of the place, it doesn't mean this guy owns it 😅
Congratulations. How is it going?
All os well. Heading to Bangkok in the morning then Malaysia on Wednesday.
are you sure how to pronounce Hua Hin? I thought it was like "wa hin"
I am going to find out for sure... I thought it was Hwa Hin... I might be wrong.
Not a penny over 3 mill basically lease hold doh
Not for me don't want neighbours that close . You obviously don't know about thai culture
I am learning.. is this an insult or an observation?
We went to Fire and ice after we returned from Base Camp. Best pizza we ever had. Never quite sure if it was really as good as we thought, or if we were just really hungry for a taste of home. Either way, I’ll always remember it as the best pizza ever.
It was probably the best pizza in Kathmandu:)
Sorry to crack you the news but no such thing as 30+30+30. Law says max 30 years. All the rest are promises with no legal base. And many are starting to discover it.
Understood... not enforceable...
12 more years to retirement. Planning to leave CA to Penang Malaysia or Hua Hin TH.
Penang is nice. To live we prefer Thailand. Nothing wrong with Malaysia though. Heading to Kuala Lumpur next week
You guys are brave doing the cave, I wouldn't even being very fit. Thanks for showing us though, a simple video became a suspense video 😂 Bottle of water price, agreed... Rip of UK and most places we go to. The safari sounds great, on the list for November 2024.
If you ever ever be able to sell it when needed or wanted. Plus, what's the advantages of knitting in Thailand? 😮
Thanks for the info. Are there houses next to yours for sale?
How could a foreigner buy a house in my country? Foreigner cabriolet own land in Thailand!
