do you keep a U.S. home address for your U.S. bank account?

the weird thing is it seems like everyone is on the make when i watch the videos and such from various folk. Just seems like you always have to keep your head on a swivel for scammers especially transportation and tourist stuff. haha. I love, 'you can find the right one' when talking about the submissive women. I know you did not mean it to come out that way but it was a good freudian slip.

can I transfer back "ALL" the money in Thai's bank account back to USA Bank account anytime? and what is the fee? Thanks!!

Do you have a U.S. bank account with a U.S. address? My bank told me to have a U.S. address so I can keep my U.S. bank checking/saving/investment accounts. is there are a monthly fee for Google Voice? Thanks again with the great info

Disease ridden pigeons, ..rats with wings

Well....what ever people may say or think. I WILL be moving to Thailand!!!

Where's the cheapest area of Chiang Mai?

I,m aiming to come later in the year. Is there plenty of money transfer places?

Again a great video, you are absolutely amazing at explaining everything you say in a clear way and don't talk too fast like many English speaking CZcamsrs do, hats off! Kind Regards, Mikael from Sweden

A good visa agent eliminates nearly all the stress just don’t be cheap and pony up you get what you pay for…

Hi Tony, another great video. Always full of great information.

Apple products are way over priced as Thai wages are very low. It would cost more to sell them in the US than Thailand. Thai salespeople would earn 300-400 baht a day as well as warehouse, import staff and transportation.

Sawadee Cop 🙏 very nice ending there.

Entry to Thailand for actual tourists is easy. People who are vacationing for 2-4 weeks can arrive visa exempt for 30 days (possibly 60 days in the next month or two). Visas for long stay expats (1 year+) such as retirees (over 50 years old) or people who have a job and a work permit are more complicated but that is true in any country. You do have to meet the visa requirements. The people who have visa complaints are typically people trying to stay long term using tourist visas and extensions. Tourists, by definition, are not people wanting to live here long term. They have jobs and homes to go back to. For people under 50 years there are few long stay options. Unfortunate but true.

35 years as a flight attendant with Delta air lines here, my passengers often give me "Wai" when I hand them their drinks / food. I often ask how they knew, they always said "because of your smile"

What's the infrastructure like with regards to the roads, sidewalks, electric grid, and internet?

How about car prices and big bikes.

Good points 👉 thank you

I am Thai. I recalled when I first came to US, I smiled a lot, and people looked at me like I was crazy 🤣. One of my coworkers always gave me a weird look all those years I worked with her. I finally learned that I would only smile to people I like in US 😌. However, I recently retired and am going back to the land of smile 😁.

How is Chiang mai last week of sep through early oct, and Bangkok first two weeks of October?

If you wanna own real estate in Asia, try Malaysia instead

I find electronics to be the same or slightly cheaper as tax is built into the price already.

They just updated visas to 60 days on arrival yesterday but idk if you can extend that just on a tourist visa exemption. Still saves the pain in the butt after 30 days and also the 1900 THB cost. Anyone know if you can extend after the 60 day visa exemption period?

Hey Tony, is it possible to buy or rent a small one bedroom Thai-style house in Chiang Mai? The newer houses are ugly imo.

Glasses. That is too bad

I MADE IT. I loved this video so much. One of my favorites of yours. Can’t wait to move there!!

Great insights! Thanks for this video!

We’ll be on this ship June 23-29

Moving to Hua Hin on October 13th! Can't wait!

Sally Lee..: Re your question below. I'm 65. If I can toss in a comment. Thais have universal Healthcare. For Thais..Not applicable to us. We the guests are responsible for our own Healthcare and it can be purchased through several companies over here. It is $$ and goes higher if you want preventative walk in visits. Most end up purchasing in patient care only. They do not have to accept pre exsisting conditions like in the US Age 65 up most require a physical at sign up. Earlier sign up recommended.. We have a top named company that we went with. But I still roll my eyes when I see total coverage and what a real world heart attack or stroke costs. Hope that helps!!

What is so difficult about visas ? U get an agent and they handle ur retirement visa. It’s good for a yr and report every 90 days. How is that complicated? Seems pretty straightforward to me.

One word of warning for folks who get the "twist and go" scooters. Without gears going downhill you have no engine braking so you will be on the brakes more in the mountains. I've been riding all my life, and for a small bike I'm looking at the Yamaha Exciter, which is a 160 with a 6 speed. Better for mountain riding for sure.

Hi Tony, Do they have a government healthcare we can get for seniors over 65? If not do you know where we can get some? Thanks

I hate south Asian weather, would never move there.....

Nicely done tour! you hit all the spots ppl want to see and understand. Thanks!!!

Great advice. I have a Thai wife and a large extended family in Thailand with whom i am very close . On my regular visits to the country over the last 20 years, i never cease to be amazed and embarrassed by the behavior of some tourists , to the point where I find myself avoiding tourist areas . The national anthem is played every night at 6pm on television, radio , and in public areas. If you are out and about at that time , stop what you are doing and stand in silence until it is finished . I will also remove my hat. It is a small thing but it will be noticed and apreciated by the locals , particularly when most of the other farang around you carry on totally oblivious. Learn to wai , and do it often , and always return a wai that is offered to you. My biggest tips for an enjoyable Thailand stay are to be polite , treat everyone with the utmost respect , and do nothing that might cause someone to lose face .

Hey there. Can you, or anyone else, recommend any of the Thai language schools in Chiang Mai? I think you personally like Lanna, but they don't quite offer what I am looking for - intensive/group/three months. Looking to check them out on a short trip in July. Also, what are the THAI areas to live in in Chiang Mai. Looking to learn Thai so don't want to be in overly expat areas. Thanks.

Detailed and awesome! Thanks for all this info.

I bought a helmet in Chiangmai too, got a nice one for 1000 baht. Got a couple of tickets too for not having a license. 500 baht each time.

You are right about the business. I have a business here... starting a second soon. But, a Thai citizen/Thai corporation needs to own 51%

Hi Tony, it’s Matt. From Hawaii again. Great job on this condo video.

How much room is there for negotiating price. Do you pay sticker? Is there add ons?

i want to visit the place!! looks like a dream 😍 (i just realized i watched this video already and even left a comment hahaha)

Thanks for this video. What insurance do you use for your motorcycle as well as for your health insurance? Thanks!

Why make a video with the title motorcycle guide then proceed to show only scooters and barely mention Motorcycles. I get they may be called motorcycles to Thai people but your video is aimed at westerners where a scooter is a scooter and a motorcycle is a motorcycle.

Smaller is great for the city ,easier to drive around ,I like your honesty thank you

Actually I want to know how many kilometres that white Forza has on it. Very interested.
