I share to my husband and he’s subscribed for you too👍🏼
We are going to retire in Thailand soon. I’m from Thailand live in Los Angeles.hope to see you in Bangkok.
Oh you’ll be coming back home. Exciting!
@@LifewithSerg There's so many Americans are looking for retirements places between southeast Asia.and Central America they have 3 or 4 options that they can live with not too hight cost living.So they have Thailand ,Phillipines or even maybe Vietnam.if you have big problem with the language the option must be PH.if you need culture Arts Foods and loves so many festivals Thailand.I hope you enjoy everywhere all around Thailand.Have a nice day.👌👌👌🤞🗨✌✌✌✌👏👏👏🙏💪💪🤘🤟🤞✌
Yes many great countries and cities. So many choices.
When anyone asks me why I want to move to Thailand, I'm just going to show them this video. Perfect
I’m really happy to know that you enjoyed my video. Feel free to share it with anyone you like.
@@LifewithSerg I can’t wait, mid 23’ I’m there for retirement I hope .. visiting September 22..
@@LifewithSerg I'm planning to go there in Dec, the only question is for how long.
@@anotherwhiteguyinasia4726 maybe 4 ever dude??..
@@tomgodheart4557 That's the plan, hopefully I can by Dec
My buddy was working in Philippines and did a trip to Thailand when he came back to the states he told me I need to go to Thailand that it’s life-changing and I said yeah right year later I found myself in Thailand and I can’t thank him enough because it truly was a life-changing experience that was in 2012 and I’ve gone every year but haven’t gone since the situation started but will be there in November
That’s awesome. I came to Thailand once in 2012 and instantly fell in love with this country. 10 years later, I moved here. Hope you have a great time in November.
November is one of the best, brother!! Don’t miss LOY KRATONG FESTIVAL! (Full moon lotus floating along the river). 🪷
I know exactly how you feel about Thailand 🇹🇭 every second of the day I think about this amazing country ..
I’ve had to put my move there on hold 😭 after advice from yourselves on here .. what ever you have double it live a nice life style rather than just get by.. one day be there
Feels like you been there more than 4 months.. keep living your dream serg
Hey thank you so much. I had to delay my plans to move here by almost a year. It’s funny how life has its own plans for us. You’ll be here soon!
I fell in love with Thailand my first trip. I'm obsessed at this point. People think I'm crazy for going every winter but I've found a place I truly love.
Yes I totally get it. Enjoy!
Thank you for your kindest words.🙏🥰🇹🇭🙏💕
Thanks for sharing your story with us, Serg! I can relate so much to this as I'm planning to move to Bangkok myself after having lived in Vancouver for the past 14 years. Your take on materialism is right on. It's very sad that issues like homelessness, addictions, looting and gun violence are so prevalent in the US while you don't see these problems as much in Thailand even in big cities like Bangkok:(
I am amazed at how clean Bangkok is, especially when you consider it’s a city of 10 million people. Sounds like you will have a happy new life.
@@LifewithSerg Agreed how clean Bangkok is , all the side walk you passed there didn't show much garbage as it could be for a city of 10M people.
Absolutely! I’m always shocked at how clean the city is. It’s even more shocking when you consider that the only garbage cans are usually in front of the 7-Eleven’s. There are hardly any public garbage cans anywhere. Really an amazing place.
@@LifewithSerg I am so Thankful for all your positive opinions about Thailand.😙😙😙😙😙😍😍Like you said..no country is perfect but I am so glad to hear when someone speaks and has positive attitudes about Thailand.
Yes I agree, it’s like home ! Always enjoy your videos 🙏🇸🇪🇹🇭
Thank you Antonius, it definitely is like home.
น่าชื่นชม ขนาดคนอเมริกายังรักเมืองไทยมากถึงขั้นย้ายมาอาศัยอยู่กันเลย ขอบคุณที่รักประเทศไทย
There are lots of wonderful things here to be thankful for. I definitely enjoy living here in Thailand.
I moved to Thailand from beautiful Boulder, CO 23 years ago and married a beautiful Thai woman who is very smart and half Thai and the other half her father who had Chinese blood and speaks very good English. I have not missed the U.S. at all and will never go back. I started in Ko Samui and still have a nice house there but my wife wanted to move to Nakhon Sawan so I now live in a house here it is a quiet Thai Village not in the city and beautiful since my wife is a designer by heart. I am 66 and my wife is 54 but we both look young for our age, thanks for your videos and for listening to such a positive fellow, Peace
Hey that’s great David! Super happy for you. I was just in Uthai Thani. Me newest video is about that trip. Loved that province, went to Nakhon Sawan as well.
I also don’t miss the US, but going back to visit family soon.
Yes! There is something about Thailand! The friendly people, the culture, and the food! I feel at home there, too.
Yes! You definitely get it as well. Even though I’m constantly in a sea of people speaking a language I still don’t fully understand, it feels very comfortable.
Wish you enjoy living here, I keep watching your vdos whenever its uploaded. May I suggest when you walk in a narrow alley, please walk on the right side so you can see the cars coming towards you for your own safety. Otherwise you will not see if cars coming at you behind your back. Some people drive crazy here (I’m Thai) thats why I tell you this. Have a good day Serg!
Hi Gavin. You are very right about waking in the correct side. Good advice, thank you!
@@LifewithSerg To add up Gavin's comment above, please be extra careful when crossing the streets. Most Thai drivers will not stop for the pedestrian. This is really embarrassing for us Thai. Anyway, welcome to Thailand. And we really appreciate your VDO mentioning good things of our country.
Yes you’re absolutely right. I have been nearly hit once or twice, so I’m very careful when I cross the road.
คุณโชคดีมากที่คนพบประเทศไทย ถ้าคุณเห็นที่นี่เป็นบ้าน ที่นี่จะอบอุ่นเสมอสำหรับคุณ และทุกคนที่มาที่นี่ 😊😊😊
Thank you very much for that.
ขอบคุณสำหรับเหตุผลที่ดีๆของคุณ ในการเลือกเมืองไทยเป็นจุดหมายปลายทางของการใช้ชีวิตที่คุณรู้สึกว่าเหมาะสำหรับคุณ พวกเราคนไทยมีวัฒนธรรมและจิตใจที่ดีในการดำรงชีวิตรวมถึงการต้อนรับแบบมิตรและเป็นกันเองกับชาวต่างชาติเสมอ ไม่ว่าคุณจะมาจากประเทศไหน ศาสนาอะไร เราจะไม่แยกแยะเรื่องแบบนั้น เราเชื่อว่าความหลากหลายสามารถอยู่ร่วมกันได้ถ้าทุกคนรู้สึกดีต่อกัน คุณจะได้ใช้ชีวิตแบบมีความสุขและรู้สึกอิสระแบบที่คุณต้องการในประเทศนี้ ประเทศเราไม่ได้ดีทุกอย่าง แต่เชื่อเถอะว่าเราเป็นมิตรและยินดีต้อนรับทุกคน..🇹🇭
I feel very welcome here. This is one of the main reasons I moved to Thailand, the people here are very warm and friendly. I appreciate the warm welcome.
I liked very much your relatable content especially that I see a lot of similarities between our lives. I just sold my house on the East Coast and ready to become the citizen of the world. I'm planning to visit Thailand again in January (been there twice already and absolutely loved it) first for the winter months only. Life is way too short not enjoy each and everyday to the fullest.
You’re gong to love your new life Judy. It might feel strange at times, but I think you will be much happier. All the best to you.
first for the winter month is December. I love December.
Thanks for sharing your own background and much welcome to the land of choices most people want but reluctant.
Glad you enjoyed my story
ขอบคุณมากครับที่คุณรักประเทศไทย รักคนไทย เราชาวไทยยินดีต้อนรับ รู้สึกดีใจมากที่คุณย้ายมาอยู่ประเทศของเรา คุณจะได้รับ การปฏิบัติดุจญาติมิตรจากพวกเราชาวไทย
Thank you very much
This is one of the main reasons I moved here. Everyone is so warm and friendly. I definitely feel like I’m part of a big family.
Welcome to Thailand
Thank you..
I’m so glad that you chose Thailand as your second home,I’m envious.I wish I was there,eating delicious food,go to beautiful in the south where you can eat street food along the beach.Thank you for making this video so people would come to visit my country.Thailand is the popular destination for expats right now.
I’m looking forward to going to other regions of Thailand for sure. Thank you for your support Piputn!
I can absolutely relate to a lot you said, i just left Thailand today after two months, i will have to go home and sort some things out and soon I will return to that country. I absolutely love it. The next months i really have to think about a long term solution on how to stay in Thailand.
That’s awesome that you really liked it here in planning to move here permanently. I’m sure you’ll figure out a way to do this. If there’s a will, there’s a way. See you soon!
Hi, Serg I enjoyed your video. All the reasons you stated for moving to Thailand are the very same reasons I want to live there. Back in 2006 I came on vacation to Bangkok and fell in love with the place and in my heart, I knew that the next time I come here it would be to live. I am waiting for the restrictions to be lifted so that one can travel freely I will be there.
Take care GOD Bless you and yours. M
I think that’s really great! There’s really hardly any restrictions here. If you can do it now, do it now before all the tourists come here. Take care!
Good decision, so far I like Thailand too, I've been here for two days and the truth is that the people are incredibly friendly the food so far I've liked it too, if I could stay like you, I would do it too, not because I don't like it USA but a change in life is never bad, we live only one life we have to take advantage of it.
Welcome to Thailand Linda! Happy to know you are enjoying your trip. I don’t dislike the USA, just felt it was time for a change.
@@LifewithSerg thank you and yes so far I am enjoying it and I know we all want changes in our lives. I know that my friend
I am thai Wellcome to Thailand We hope you are happy in Thailand You are thai We love you
😍🙏😊
I was a constable in New Zealand. I moved to Thailand last year...now in Koh Samui!!...living in the dream. no more arresting people.
That’s great Evan! I think we are both in a much happier place now. I like that Bored Ape!
Serge
You reflect my sentiments almost exactly..
Sold up everything & moved here from Australia two years ago & haven’t looked back.
My only regret is that I should have done it earlier..
It’s always nice to find others with the same mindset.
Hi Serg! I can definitely relate to what you're saying and I have been contemplating the move to Thailand also. I hope to walk in your footsteps within 5 years from now. This is exactly why I have subscribed to your channel. I wanted to see your Thailand journey in real-time and to see the challenges you face. In the meantime, I will travel to Thailand once or twice a year to get more acquainted with the country. Similar to your story, I was born in Bangkok but I grew up in SoCal from the age of 2. We are about the same age and I have no real ties to the US. Where I live now there is no sense of community and that is what I am seeking in Thailand. The US is a great place to make a living but I think Thailand is a great place to make a life!
I think that’s a great plan Kevin. I don’t recall if you’ve been to Thailand since you left here, but I think that’s a great idea. Come and visit a few times and find out if you like it. It only took one trip for me to this country to realize that I really loved it.
I will have to make a video about some of the challenges that I have faced here, there definitely has been several.
@@LifewithSerg Since I left Thailand, I've been back in 1984, 1999, 2003, 2008 and 2012. I've tried to go to Thailand twice during covid but the quarantine stay requirements were much too long for someone who only had two weeks of vacation, not to mention, the additional cost imposed by the quarantine. I'm hoping to reschedule for March 2023.
Yeah the quarantine requirements really killed off most short term trips to Thailand. Everything is almost back to normal here.
Thanks for the video Serg, I lived in Chumphon for 16 years. I love Thailand and intend to return soon to spend the rest of my life there....
Wow! 16 years is no joke. I wish you all the best with your impending move to the land of smiles.
This was so awesome to watch and interesting. Was neat to see your house from before and your excitement for the new chapter in your life. I really feel like my life started when I decided to come to Thailand and I can relate exactly to your excitement and how full life is for us here. Awesome video and thanks for sharing this!
Thanks so much Rob. Yes, it really feels like my life started once I moved here. I think much like you I came to this country because of the warmth and love of the Thai people.
I constantly feel like a little kid when I explore things here in Thailand. And as I’ve said before, I encourage you to continue making videos on your channel as well.
ผมเป็นไทย ที่ชอบดูคลิปชาวต่างชาติ
และมาอ่านคอมเม้น รู้สึกภูมิใจ ที่ชาวต่างชาติทั่วโลกรักเมืองไทย เราจะเป็นเหมือนครอบครัวเดียวกัน😊 ในประเทศไทย
Thank you so very much for your warm comments. I definitely feel like part of a big family here.
Hi Serg everybody or many people are looking for his own paradise.
You can create everywhere. It depends what you’re looking for.
I came only through a fortuity.
For me it’s Thailand my paradise because I love the country, the food, but at most my wife and her family.
I get a love which is unpayable.
I love the climatic conditions from Thailand.
For me it’s Thailand my own paradise.
I am very happy Serg, that you feel very well in Thailand.
I’m so happy that you met your wife here in Thailand and that you love her family as well. Sounds like you guys have a wonderful relationship.
@@LifewithSerg Yeah, that’s really a very good relationship. We’ve different religion and different culture, but it fits very good. I never expected that.
It’s only necessary to understand her culture and that’s for me easy, because I can never expect that she change her culture. She’s a conservative Lady from the country and I like that very much. I was really lucky to met her.
Thanks Serg.
Serg, CB Media/Chad is one of the main motivators for me making it to Thailand now. I had actually ran in to him at a random bar in Koh Samui last month and was able to personally thank him! Good luck man in all you do!
That’s awesome Bryan. He’s a good dude. Joel you enjoy your time here.
Yr 15 mins video really worth watching. Eventhoug Im Thai and im Buddhist , ve to admit you have good thought towards the principles of living. And yes I totally agree!.
I’m really happy to know you enjoyed it. Thank you.
I can't get over the fact that the moment you uttered the word Buddhism, the NaNa Massage sign appeared right behind you ;) I'm just giving you hard time of course. I'm a Thai living in California so us two equal things out. I like your style of content very much, I feel like I'm closer to home whenever I watch your videos. You always put Thailand is a very positive light, Thank You.
I don’t even notice that in the video. Lolllll. Glad you enjoy!
Your attitude is great to live here in Thailand and we need more foreigners like you
Hey thanks for that!
เอามาทำพันธุ์หรือ ..
As a Thai citizen, I am feeling blessed and honored when I am watching this video. I love the way you explained about the reasons why you moved to Thailand.
Welcome to my country Serg , I hope you will be able to find more way to make you happier and enjoy life in many different ways.
North, South, East ,Eastern and West, we have different cultures ,I am here in Isan ,the very cultural place. You will love it here. I am inviting you to see around.
Thank you for all foreigners and welcome to Thailand if this country make any of you happy, we are Thai peoples are truly ❤ welcome 😊..

I see joyfulness and exuberance that radiate around your face 🤗 ✌️the most important that we feel at ease wherever we are at and also with expressing ourselves. Thank you for sharing your lovely thoughts about Thailand…you take us along with your journey 🙏🌷🪷🤗❤️
You are so correct about feeling at ease and self-expression Don. Very important metrics in life. Always happy to show everyone around. Lol

非常感謝大家。
Absolutely, very important.
Hey Serg! I really respect you that how you take a risk moving to Thailand, sold house and you came here with no plans and freinds. But you still enjoy the days in Thailand, would love to see you in North, South of Thailand, your channel is in Thai spotlight, people get to know you. No place is perfect but Thailand really suits you SerG! Bon Appetit!
I will absolutely travel to other regions to explore more soon. Thank you so much for your support.
You're a nice person. Very welcome, Serg.
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Loved this video Setge. I feel the same way about Thailandp
I’m glad this video has resonated with so many people.
Thank you for liking Thailand
Very happy to be here.
What a nice insight into your life and how you went from living in the Golden State of California to perusing the streets of Thailand for all the right reasons man! You just leveled up on your quality life and receives much spiritual gains. 👍😀
Thank you so much for that! I definitely miss our hikes and just hanging out with you man. Looking forward to coming back for a visit soon!
Your thumbnail is fascinating! It shows you put much effort on making your videos. Thank you!🙏🙏🙏
1:18 LOL! That joke!!🤣🤣
5:25 Awww.. the cute kitten comes to you…🥰🥰
It took many tries to get the right shot for the thumbnail. The cat was really cute.
I suggest that you need to learn a bit more of daily used Thai language by living in Bangkok. It will make you more fun during your daily life and should make a lots of Thai friends cause they will open wide when you talking to them in Thai for those Thais who was weak in English. Anyway, Well come to Thailand.
Yes I need to learn more Thai for sure. 😊
Thai language is not as difficult as you think. When you experience Thai language...You will find beautiful language sounds, excellent grammar, beautiful font and the exact meaning...unlike English, one word has many different meanings.
**Thai people are welcome if you are nice.🤗👉(If not, please don't come..You know, Westerners are very hard to find good-hearted people.) Then you will find all the happiness you want in..Thailand.**😉
From..Thai people...Wish you luck.😇
@@dignity5004 Thai has effectively no grammar compared to English.
Coool..u r one of the luckiest persons.....did best decision.
You nailed it about everything that's going on....right on.
I really do appreciate that! Thanks!
Awesome story! Enjoy Thailand
Thank you!
You are reading my mind. Sold everything and just waiting on my wife to wrap up her work. Will be there in the next 6 months. 🍻🍻🍻
That is awesome! I hope Thailand is everything you wanted to be, and more. There are definitely problems no matter where we go. However, I really feel I have a much higher quality of life here.
@@LifewithSerg been there about a dozed times on 1 or 2 wk vacation. I'm retired as of 3 months ago and thought Thailand would be a good home-based for the next 2 or 3 yrs and hopping to Asian countries for short 1 to 2 months stays before heading to Europe for a few yrs. Rinse and repeat. :)
Excited for you. Everyone wants your life!
I still wake up almost every day and feel like this is a dream. I really am happy here!
The heat is the one big reason that would hold me back from considering moving to Thailand full time. Some of us are just not built for that. However, it would make a great part-time home if one can swing it. Your first trip is pretty similar to my experience. I loved everything about it except the heat. I really want to return for a longer stay this time.
I got admit, I hated the heat. You gotta remember that I was born in Russia. So my body isn’t exactly designed for warm temperatures. 🤣 However after four months here I feel very acclimated. I still sweat, I still overheat but it’s getting much better.
If you are afraid of the heat I recommend you to stay in Khao Kho, Phetchabun. It's not hot in the summer. not very cold in winter It is very suitable for living.
I’m ok with the heat now. Have gotten used to it.
An air-conditioner is useful during a few summer months. If you don't want to use it, you shouldn't use a car either. In fact, a few solar panel can provide free electricity for an air-conditioner. Not to mention some secret places where it's cold during the summer night.
I am Thai and agree with you about the heat. After living in US for 30+ years, I have a hard time taking the heat in Thailand. However I will retire next year, but will stay in Thailand from November to March.
I swore that I seen you yesterday (Saturday evening) in Asoke lol. Right by the Sukhumvit mrt, by Pala pizza. I was tempted to ask if it was you lol
Most likely, I had dinner there. If you see me, feel free to say hello.
Serge
You are inspirational. Dont change your format. Go with your gut re U Tube.
I am coming back to Bkk since feb 2020 when covid hit.
I hot covid in Thailand in Dec 2019 just before it went viral..
Been coming since 1979 and seen much.
I wasnt sure about returning until see all your videos. You have made an old guy happy.
If I run into you in the sreet one day I will buy you a water at 7. Hah.
Thake care Serge you are a natural.. dont change. You are a rising star. Dont loose your thirst for adventure.
Cheers
Al from Sydney
Wow Allan, since 1979. Amazing, I’m sure you’ve seen so many changes here. That’s got to be fascinating. Absolutely come back here, things are almost back to normal. I’ll take you up on that 7-Eleven water if we ever meet on the street. Take care!
You the man - been making videos just for fun to capture the moment. Thanks to you for the uplifting encouragement brother.
That’s awesome Keith ! Just keep making them and enjoy yourself. They will get better and better the more you make.
Serg i 'll never forget when i flew out of Tokyo thinking, I don't want to leave this place. Been here for 6 years now with two boys born here and wouldn't change a thing.. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet right!
Absolutely, change is scary at times. However, we need change in order to grow and progress in life.
Told my sister i was planning a trip to thailand, first thing she said was as a woman i should not go alone because i will come back in a coffin.
Now she has been trying to convince me not to go.
Can't get her to realize that thailand is quit safe to travel too solo as a woman.
It is extremely safe! Personally, I wouldn’t take advice from anyone who’s never stepped foot here and has just been watching the news and reading the Internet. I’m sure she means well, she cares about you.
@@LifewithSerg so true, told her not to believe eveyrthing she sees online.
@Runaway Papa i would agree but she has been on many vacations herself.
Just to have normal precaution where you should have any where then it should be fine.
I’ve traveled to many countries including Thailand over the last 30 years and I consider Thailand very safe as far as crime/ assault, nothing too worry about if you just use normal precautions you would use anywhere. Danger in Thailand comes from traffic, watch out for erratic riding of motorcycles on footpaths, traffic not stopping for pedestrians on crossings etc.
Also watch out for poor conditions of footpaths otherwise you could take a tumble. Apart from that I recommend Thailand 100% and am sure you will have a great experience.
I'm happy to have you here 😍😍😍😍😍
Wow thank you so much! 🙏🥰
I'm heard about you from a youtube channel called "Up comment". They made a video about your story. Welcome to Thailand.
Yes, I saw that he made a video and it has brought a lot of new people to my channel. Thank you very much for your support.
The pandemic made so many people look at their lives and make changes to it. I did it too , not quite as far as Thailand yet but a new city here in the UK and if all works out Thailand soon. Your living your dream Serg well done 👏👏👏
It’s unfortunate that it took something like the pandemic for many of us to realize that there was something better for us than our current situation. Sounds like you’re working a good plan. Best of luck!
Practically walk, daily good herbal meal as thai food, ..alc sometimes for bld cerculation or social. U definitely not get hard sicks.
Great info to know.
Love you♡ ,FC from Bangkok,Thailand
Thanks for your support.
It makes all of us happy .... to see you'r HAPPY.
That really makes me smile. Thank you so much for your support.
People there are super nice and sincere based on my experience, they willing to help you in everything, and the food also really great
Yes people are very kind and friendly here. It is one of the reasons I moved to Thailand.
The cat say Hi, welcome to Thailand. Hope you enjoy and have a good time.
It’s really interesting. I’m much more of a dog person than a cat person, but cats always come up to me. This was a very friendly cat.
I think you made a great decision. Some of your reasons for making a huge change in your life are the same as mine. I have lived in Canada long enough. Good video.
Glad to know it resonated with you. Don what makes you happy. 😊
Hello from Inner Sunset, San Francisco !
Thank you for for sharing this! Keep doing it, Serg!
San Francisco is such a wild place. Absolutely love Golden Gate Park and I have fond memories because my grandparents lived there for many years. All the best.
you're living the dream life that i dream of in my dreams....dont you forget that....when i find my financial success to live that dream in my future, gratitude will be my attitude everyday to the nanosecond, because life is meant for living, not dreaming.
Absolutely. Do small things that make you happy now. It doesn’t have to be anything big, just treat yourself. You deserve it!
ยินดีต้อนรับครับ 🎉
ไม่ว่าคุณจะเกิดที่ไหน? นั้นมันไม่สำคัญ
แต่มันสำคัญที่คุณพร้อมที่จะย้ายมาสร้างขีวิตที่ประเทศไทย รักประเทศไทย คุณก็คือคนไทย100% แล้วครับ หัวใจคุณคือไทย
สุดท้ายขอให้คุณโชคดี และมีความสุข ในประเทศไทย ประเทศที่มีแต่ความ อัศจรรย์มห้คุณค้นหาตลอดชีวิตของคุณ
I’m originally from Russia but I lived in America for 41 years. Thank you for the warm welcome. I really love the culture and the friendliness of the Thai people. Thank you very much for your support.
I am also from USA and totally connected with what you mentioned about the cancel culture and political crap. I had plans to do what you have done, but my 401K has just been devastated so I think it will be a few more years for me. In the meantime, I subscribed after seeing this video, I like your outlook on life and your presentation style. All the best on your new life in Thailand.
Yeah ten markets are tough right now. Will probably get a lot worse before the year is out. Prepare yourself.
Wow. That's a powerful testimony. And I totally agree 100 %. And that is exactly why I'm moving over.
Thanks Matt. I’m glad that you enjoyed this video. More coming soon.
ยินดีต้อนรับ กับสมาชิกใหม่ ในสังคมไทยของเราครับ หวังว่าคุณจะมีความสุขที่ได้ตัดสินใจเข้ามาใช้ชีวิตในประเทศไทยเรา ในทุกสถานการณ์ทุกสถานที่ ย่อมมีข้อดีและข้อเสียต่างกันไป ซึ่งเมืองไทยก็มีเช่นกัน แต่แค่คุณทำใจให้สบาย คุณก็จะผ่านไปได้อย่างดีเยี่ยม
Yes, no place is perfect. I’m very happy to be living in Thailand. Thank you.
I admit that I don't really like US politics. especially the treatment of people of different ethnicities and intervention in other countries. But I want to encourage you, Mr. Policeman, as always. May God bless you wherever you are in my country or anywhere in this crazy world.
Thank you for being open minded, I appreciate your support.
Such a kind comment. 🌸🌷💖
I 100% can relate to you with the current way the United States is being ran, I live in Central California and it blows my mind seeing how much our country and state have changed in the last few years . I hope to find myself in Thailand in the future
You will live it for sure!
Thank you Serg. You've made me missed home so much. I agree with everything you said. I don't know why I'm here in the US either. Especially, when I left home many years ago, as soon as my feet stepped out of Thailand. I just cried so much on the plane all the way through Washington DC. And you won't believe that, for some reason, I have been America for too long, while I'm missing home so much every day. My dad always said to me " life is just a destiny " Anyway, before long, I'm about to come back home for good. We may run in to each other someday. Yes, you don't know me. But I remember you from you website.
You take care. And enjoy your second home in Thailand.😊🇹🇭👍
Every place has its wonders. I hope you enjoy your time in America, and I’m sure you’ll be happy when you come back to your home land here in Thailand. Take care.
@@LifewithSerg Thank you Serg. Yes, I'm sure I will. You do the same take care too. Be careful, everywhere in the world have good and bad people. Hope you have a wonderful life here at my homeland. 😊👍🇹🇭
I think you were wise to move to Thailand at 50 years old. I spend 3 month a year in Thailand too and I am married to a Thai woman. But at 74 years old, it's really too late for me to live there permanently. Plus the temperature is just too hot most of the time. I live on the Oregon coast were it is much cooler. And so I hired a law firm to help me get a spousal visa for my wife so that we can travel both ways from America to Thailand. You have great videos and I have watched many of them. Good luck to you,,,,,,,,,,
So happy for you guys. Oregon is nice, especially the coast. Thank you for your support.
You're absolutely right, Serg. Home is wherever we feel happy and welcomed. In your case, it seems you are comfortable and really enjoying your time in Thailand.
We're lucky that you have found an amazing life down there and that you are kind enough to share these wonderful experiences of yours with us.
Thank you, Serg!
Yes it just feels like home here. That might change at some point, but I’m just following my gut and my heart. Thanks for your support.
Asoke Road and Rama 9 to Lat Phrao, January next year, all communication cables will be put underground. Including all new footpath improvements
Oh that will be great!
Thank you for your impression that you have for
our country and welcome.
I live in IL, US. For many year and I want moving back to live in thailand soon.
I hope you’re able to return to your homeland soon. Thank you for your support. 😊
Im a Thai guy who had studied in Tempe, AZ for 5 years around the year 2000. I think I understand your thoughts and know how you feel. Welcome to Thailand and wish you a happy life. Love to have you here.
Arizona is really an interesting state. I’m glad you enjoyed my video, thank you for your support.
Life's too short to not pursue true happiness. Too many people are pursuing fake happiness. I think You found the real deal.
Yes, find what makes you happy and do it. That’s my mantra.
wowwwwwww I love my country ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭peace full country thaifood is the best best ever I tell my husband to move back to Thailand
Yes it’s a very nice country.
@@LifewithSerg I watching your 3 videos to day and subscribed your chanel already! I miss Thailand so so much 😅❤️ usually I go back Thailand every year visit my family but anyways Singapore is very near. enjoy your life in Thailand ❤️
Thank you for your support! I absolutely plan to visit Singapore, as well as Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines etc.
ทุกๆที่ย่อมมีปัญหา ไม่เว้นแม้แต่เมืองไทย แต่ถ้าคุณทำใจยอมรับมันได้ในบางเรื่อง บางสิ่ง คุณก็จะสามารถอยู่ที่เมืองไทยได้อย่างมีความสุขแน่นอน
ปัญหาทุกอย่างย่อมมีทางออก บางครั้งอาจต้องใช้เวลานานสักหน่อย
ถ้าคุณมีความอดทนพอ ทำใจให้สงบ เป็นกลางในทุกๆเรื่อง ปล่อยวางในสิ่งที่ไร้เหตุผล
ขอให้คุณ Serg อยู่เมืองไทยอย่างมีความสุขครับ ยินดีต้อนรับครับ
You’re so very correct, every problem definitely has a solution. And sometimes problems and challenges present the best opportunities in life. I appreciate your support.
Sawaddee krab mr. Serg. I'm Thai and I so glad for you to stay in Thailand. I'm so sure that you will happy everyday and have a good life here. Welcome to Thailand.
Thank you so very much for the warm
welcome. Loving it here in Thailand.
Hi Serg, being from Thailand, I completely understand the live-and-let-live attitude.
The thing we care about though is being considerate to others. If someone were to be an asshole to other people, they will find out real quick we don't tolerate such thing.
I’m very much the same way. Treat people with kindness and respect. If they mistreat you, then you act accordingly. Speak softly, but carry a big stick.
Welcome to Thailand. Please have a nice life at Thailand
Thank you very much for the warm welcome.
@@LifewithSerg If you feel hot with the weather in Thailand I suggest you try to find kratom leaves to eat. It help you feel cool
@@Second-Knowledge 🤣🤣🤣
Good luck and enjoy this new adventure of yours.
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you, Serg, for kind words about Thailand.
Thank you for your support.
Whoever sees the Dharma who saw the Buddha lord.🙏
😁
Totally understand your vantage point Serg. It's much more comfortable to look after our own health and happiness than to spend time pondering over politics and even just what others think of us in general. I'm in that mentality now as well. After decades of caring too much about how others view me, it's now "ME" time instead of political correctness 24/7. Thanks for your fun walks. It's coming up to Fall Season. Have ypu ever thought of visiting Chiang Rai or Mae Hong Son in tge north during Winter here? If so you do have to plan (and reserve accom) ahead of time month or more. It's beautiful up there during Winter with flowers, tea plantations, rolling hills, and best of all, 15-25 degree Celcius weather. Would love to see your videos up there if you do.
Yep, you understand exactly my rationale.
I’m absolutely planning to go to Chiang Mai soon. My plan is to spend a week in the city, and do the Mae Hon Song motorbike loop. I will definitely documenting all of that.
Thank you Serg to share you life stories enjoyed . I wish you a wonderful happy shining merry jubilant cheerful retired life.😀
Hello Lin! I’m glad you enjoyed my story. Thank you for your support.
Well you get my sub...
I'm a City boy, graduated from Riordan. Dad was sfpd. And I know a few still working so I'm sure we know a few of the same people. I started going to Thailand in the late 80's.
I'm still working on Cali but I have a Thai wife and will be retiring there at some point soon. And you're right about our govt. Not the same country anymore. Great move to make the change. Definitely look around the country more.
Wish you the best 👍👊🙏
Sounds like a great plan Steven. I’m sure you will love living here. All the best.
Love your attitude on living...you right..America has some serious issues...nothing like ANY Asian countries at all..simply because that dont put up with it...enjoy your life brother...its what YOU make it...looking forward to your videos....serenity to you allways!!!
Thailand isn’t really perfect either Lance. Every place has problems. I love America, but after 40 years in California I felt it was time for a change. I’m really happy to know that you’ve enjoyed my videos, more coming soon!
I know that feeling , after I was in Bangkok and Pattaya , I did a video where I had an " ah ha " moment and I know I will end up on Bangkok at some point ..... i think its all about going and doing where you can live your best life in most areas of your life.
Yes! You know exactly what I’m talking about. It took me 10 years to come to this realization, but I’m so happy I did.
I just loved this vídeo and the way you talk to the viewers. Thanks very much for your lovely perspective of life and also for the advices! You got a new subscriber here! Be safe and happy!
I’m happy to know you enjoyed my video. Welcome to the team.
Great summary! Very inspirational. My sister is trying to motivate me to join her and buy a place in Thailand. My Dad has a couple of med problems so Thailand is great for him also since I read they have excellent medical and dental care.
They have excellent medical and dental care here. My experience is with hospitals and doctors here has been on par, if not better than in the US. Renting makes a lot more sense here than buying for a lot of people. Make sure you do your research to see which is best for you.
I hope you get more subscribers and viewers Serg, tbh I can’t stand Bangkok heat and humidity even I am Thai but dry heat from Northern Thailand still unbearable, I love Sydney weather but love to travel to Thailand and Thai food, cheers
I appreciate your support. Would love to go to Australia one day.
Just know when to go outside. I once got a persistent flu in the north winter. I didn't feel better until I drove back near Bangkok. That's why I love warm weather more than the cold. You'll know this when you're weak. I prefer cold weather when I have to do hardware work only.
Waiting for your condo video
It’s coming.
Sir just love your energy, love listening to you, you are so full of life, love your enthusiasm and you are such an inspiration. Lots of love and respect from India. 🙏
Wow. Thank you so much for that heartfelt message. I really do appreciate it!
Hey Serg
Thanks for this wonderful video and your thought process about moving to Thailand. This really connects instantly with the audience.
I wasn’t sure if this would be an interesting video or not, but it’s been very popular. I will do a bigger video answering common questions when I hit 20k subscribers
Thailand is a paradise for everything, whether it's food, tourism, beautiful nature, peace, shady, people are friendly to foreigners. But don't go on a night out, bad people, lots of drunks, bad habits all the same. Including women at night. Looks beautiful. Not everyone is good. Love from Chiang Mai.
I just came back from a night out. Had lots of fun. There are always going to be bad people in the world. I am really looking forward to going to Chiang Mai.
The night life is the best part of Thailand
From your service in law enforcement, are you entitled to a retirement pension? Similar to a servesman in the army as an example ?
I also agree with you on alot of what you you said. Makes sense to me. 👍
Yes, but every agency is different on the size of the pension. They’ve cut back on the amounts very heavily over the last 10 years.
Serg, welcome to Thailand. Wish to meet you here soon!
Thank you!
My brother, I think Thailand lives a relatively slow, independent life; people are friendly; they do funny things; there are no terrorist incidents; there are no earthquakes. At most, it was raining, waterlogging, and slow draining, which the candidates for governor It's competing to tackle this problem. I think it's a very livable country.
Well Thailand has definitely had terrorist incidents here. This is why there are almost no garbage cans anywhere anymore. But I completely agree with your overall assessment. These are the reasons why I live in Thailand now.
Becareful . Talking while walk along narrow soi as you may notice that thais hardly honk a horn.
Yes I know and I am careful.
