Tell me if Hua Hin would be your retirement destination!
Hi I’m moving to hua hin in July with my family great video do you know of any private schools and what part of hua hin do you recommend to live middle class budget
Diffinately not because it's just too hot.... when you are older..... Mediterranean is much better.... surprisingly its cheaper in Europe!
maybe... I'd like to check it out some time; been to Phuket... noticed that condo prices are at about a third of those in Phuket (I'm talking about buying; I noticed some nice units for 60K-90K U.S.) ... and as far as surfing, small waves actually break during certain months of the year, sign me up!!
We live nearby and visit Hua Hin every fortnight.
Cleanest beach town we've seen on Thailand's mainland.
Never seen large cockroaches, lots of beach access from sois off Petchkasem Rd.
Oh never there ...hua hin oh no ......but thailand yes
I am an American. My wife is a citizen of China. We split our time between our respective countries. We have visited Thailand many times. Hua hin is where we hope to retire to.
I like it there, I went for the first time recently :)
@@mr.wanderer513 yes it depends on what you want out of life. China is very busy. The united states is very busy. Hua Hin is just the right pace for us.
I loved living in Hua Hin years ago. Currently I live in Chiang Mai but will move to Hua Hin in a couple of months. The fresh sea air and the amazing beach are drawing me back. I enjoyed swimming in the sea there. I lived in Phuket for a year and prefer Hua Hin. Great place for me to retire as a westerner.
I am a local BKK, move to the US live and work all over the US and EU, and finally back to Thailand. It is the best in Hua Hin considering that it is an upper class, no sex tourists like Pattaya, too many trash tourists, noise, and chaos. Since the King pass, may change but it is still better than most places. The law is getting harder for foreigners to prevent criminals and corruption.
Hua Hin is great, I went there for the first time recently :)
my 2nd home for 36 years! (y)
I've never been to Thailand but Hua. Hin looks like an excellent place. I agree with this person about the trash tourist, these men are not even acceptable people within their own countries of origin.
There are many places on the beaches at Hua Hin to dine, sun bathe, and just hang out. Hua Hin is an excellent place to live a high quality life on 25k-35k a year.US dollars.
As always, a good summary.
A decent balanced vlog on a great subject, excellent stuff mate...
Don't make this video as a sale ad...Hua Hin is not a reasonable price, durning the spring and summer season, it is very hot and who does this video! I am thai who leave in Hau Hin and the cost of living is too high because of people like you are making this place beome high so
Very interesting video👍😁
Thank you very much.
love the intermittent fast... i do that a lot too. Thanks for a great video once more Hua Hin looks like my retirement place.
Excellent well-put information! So good I decided to subscribe! Thank you for your time in educating people! Our goal in four years is ninty days in Thailand. Nine months a year in my home in the USA.
I drank a whole coconut for £1 here, no doubt I chose to stay here.😍😍🍻🍻👌👌✔✔
Excellent video. Thank you. I was a little confused as to why you gave a price and then gave a price range instead of just the range?
Wow, very informative! Maybe one day I will retire there.
It's great! I went on a trip there recently :)
Thanks very much.
Very helpful video. $2000 / month for a couple may be about right, but also consider medical insurance can vary quite a bit depending on your age.
Thanks for the informative video. You said "crystal clear" waters, but then earlier said problems with pollution and not a good beach, so I am confused. Also, when you give a price, then a range, it is confusing. I think just the range would be enough. Very helpful video though. Thank you.
If it was good enough for Rama 9, it is good enough for me.
Hua Hin is a cool spot. I went recently :)
Well done#ให้น้องหมอหลิวนะ#วันนี้บ่าย3โมงน้องกับครอบครัวเตรียมเดินทางพักผ่อนที่คฤหาส์นที่สนามGOLF@HUAHINอีกแล้วนะ#DARLING ME#SEE YOU THEN👧💏💑👪💙❤💋👄💚💛💜💖💟💝💘👍✌#อีกไม่นานวิหารธรรมศาสนิกรวมจะมีผู้คนจากทั่วโลกมาเยี่ยมชมที่หัวหินมากมายนะ(แค่คาดเดานะ)ไม่รู้จะจริงหรือเปล่าก็ไม่รู้นะFC
I will be their very soon
do you pay condo dues. any restrictions to buying condos for foreign nationals
Yes .
Ya Hua Hin is awesome. I went there for the first time recently :)
Thanks for your video, I would like to know the difference between Pattaya for living and Hua Hin.
@ Amira Celon Mediumship Academy. You're welcome! There is also a 6 Best reasons to move to Pattaya vlog as well. czcams.com/video/CsYY4zFT3CA/video.html
@@roninblue5885 Hi Ronin I lived in Pattaya for about a year and want to check out Hua Hin and was wondering how it compared. :)
@ Amira Celon Mediumship Academy. I actually have a playlist of Hua Hin, from the perspective of living there, not just as a travel vlog, I visit the main areas, a little outside, as well as getting a dental cleaning and note cost of living of all groceries at day markets etc...

Did you already settle down?
What is your preferred country?
Thank you and greetings from Germany 👍😁👋
@butterflytrader. No, we haven't yet. Need to take care of a few more things before we do. At this point in time, Portugal looks great but so does Montenegro but we are going to check out Panama next year, we're excited about a new chapter that is about to start!
@@roninblue5885
Thank you.
If you like the Caribbean, try Guadeloupe and Martinique.
French islands, means European standards 😊 and European prices🥴 in this region.
Beautiful islands!
And they have the French tax system🥴
Good luck😁🍀👋
@butterflytrader1. Interesting, we have to look into this! We always look forward in reviewing countries and places! Thank you for this!
@AA. Thailand will be our first destination, being one of the most popular destinations, then we will travel to other countries, like nomads, till we find a place we like. The vlogs we are looking to create, in the separate countries, will be based on the perspective of retirement, cost of living, pros and cons, where to stay, etc...So, that's how we are picturing it to be in the near future, so hopefully we find a place to settle down at, country/city! But the adventure of searching will be a lot of fun so it won't be too bad to follow a bit of the nomad lifestyle to see what is out there!
@AA. Sorry, I just saw this question now, not sure why I didn't see it before. I notice CZcams doesn't notify me for messages at times, it's weird Anyways, that's a pretty hard question to answer. I'm not sure if having dual citizenship should be a primary decision in choosing where to retire, it would be if the country in question ticks all of your wants you're looking for in that particular country, lower cost of living, warm weather, beach, stress free lifestyle etc.... Although, I do see the benefit of it because you wouldn't have to worry about getting that troublesome visa or maybe you have family there as well, it would make it easier to visit them, without having to deal with those per year visa restrictions. Were there any particular countries you had in mind? I'm not too familiar, but from a taxation perspective it might work out to be a disadvantage perhaps as well, each country having their particular rules.
Looks like a decent place to retire too
A great vlog. Anyone coming to Hua Hin and wants advice on renting or buying here please contact us we would be happy to help.
Coming for holiday want to rent for three weeks how much from Scott new Zealand
What is the quality of health care compared to Bangkok?
I agree with the cheap condos. Beach? Umm...
Not really close to the equator, it is not Singapore
A huge downside of Thailand is its excessively bureaucratic visa regulations, usually requiring expat residents to report to customs & immigration every 3 months. Visa regulations can also change at the drop of a hat, on the whim of some over-enthusiastic Immigration policies bordering on xenophobia. Enjoy visiting Thailand but be prepared to keep jumping thru lots of hoops if you want to live there permanently - all too much hassle for me.
Money doesn't buy you equality in Thailand - you will ALWAYS be a second class citizen compared to the lowliest Thai national, and in ANY legal disputes in Thailand the Thai national will ALMOST ALWAYS win over any expat, even if the expat is married to a Thai national. Scratch below the surface & you will find that Thai culture is diametrically opposed to traditional Western ideas of rational thought & logic. Stick to being a tourist.
@Mike Harrington. We had the opportunity in recently visiting Hua Hin and Bangkok and were there for our allowable one month, optional to extend another 30days. Given that we weren't able to speak Thai, we weren't really able to have any meaningful conversations with many. It was definitely the surface of smiles we encountered and were pleasantly surprised by the welcoming atmosphere but we never had the opportunity in "scratching that surface." We did, however, meet some friendly expats who have stayed there much longer term, mentioning similar to what you have mentioned, but interesting enough, they still stay, where many have left. I heard everything is still mostly done by paper and yes, a lot of hoops to go through.
@@roninblue5885 From what you say, as an admitted tourist, you are not really "qualified" to advise on whether or not to retire to Hua Hin. For myself its a lovely place for a holiday during the cooler months, but comparing a month long holiday with retirement is comparing apples with oranges. There are plenty of negatives to consider including nuisance factors like an uptick in dengue fever, outbreaks of rabies, uncontrolled feral/soi dogs, rising cost of private medical treatment (if you can get it over a certain age), rat feeding stations at every Buddhist mini-shrine etc.
@@mikeharrington5593 @ you sound very knowledgable about world retiring and traveling, so what are you top 2-3 places to move or travel outside of america
Not quite true Mike, your passport has to visit the immigration office every 3 months not you unless you want to do it yourself. I pay a immigration company 1,000 baht every 3 months to do my presentation of my passport. I havent had a legal dispute in 10 years and despite multitudes of Car/ drivers Licence checks I have never once had to pull my drivers licence or passport out.
You sound very bitter towards the Thai culture , give the lad a break ,it was less than 20mins video expressing his own opinions. You sound like you should be discussing these issues on Thaivisa ? It happens all over the world ( if you are well travelled , you will realise this ) . One story I can I can relate to is , a friend had a MVA ( Motor vehicle Accident ) and it was not his fault , but the guy told him ' If you were not in my country , I wouldn't have hit you ' , my friend still ended up paying for the repairs. I guess you've been screwed by a Thia ?
You made a nice presentation for Hua Hin but I don't think the Thai goverment is very keen on foreigners wanting to live in Thailand. I would choose a more foreigner friendly environment. I'm sure it's a great place to visit but not so sure about a retirment destination.
That condo rental is high compared to Jomtien
I went to live there ,beautiful place but after 7 months i left i didn't feel welcome , it's not Land of smiles anymore and the women are just looking for a walking ATM machine. The other thing that bothered me was the Buddhist monks who beg from the poor ( Who are expected to give ) just to help themselves have a lazy carefree lifestyle. So i i didn't stay and moan I left , not for me but glad i experienced the beautiful country Shame really. I moved on to the Philippines but Thailand is so much more advanced and cleaner than the Philippines.
Sorry to hear you didn't feel welcome. Hope you're happier in the Philippines.
My retirement income is about $5000/month Could I have a nice retirement for that ?
' The pollution is nice ' you say?
Why dose everyone pronounce Hua incorrectly?
I understand the correct pronunciation to be Hoy Hin ??
@@mikeharrington5593 Lol i thought it was why hin, her
...There are reasons to retire in Hua Hin....!!
Would six million baht and pension last me at least ten years living in hue hin Thailand thank you Scott new Zealand
I think you could do that fairly comfortably Scott. Many older ex pats and a much smaller bar life than say Pattaya, so it’s much calmer. You can find Italian, Swedish, Irish bars/restaurants also. Good night markets and shopping centres. You can go into the centre of town or stay local.
@@cravenmoorecock5267 thank you for your advice stay safe virus b careful Scott new Zealand
Dude,, nice video,, but you talk to much and to fast,, it's exhausting.
best reason for not living in Hau Hin = beach water is polluted and many dangerous jellyfish
not a problem for those of us that don't swim in the ocean
when I was there water was not polluted and from march to june 2020 not a SINGLE jellyfish. I was at hua hin beach every day.
Dengue fever?
Since the virus, everything has changed.....literally everything.
How so?
@@gustavopaulette3496 50 percent of business's have shut down for starters....which is the rock starting to roll down the hill....you wont see the effects of shutting down of a economy immediately...it will be felt for years from now.
that is not my impression. beach is the same, 7/11, family mart...I do not need much more, and especially I do not need shops and bars.
@@oderblock Then why hua hin, since it is one of the most expensive? You were paying for the shops and bars.....
@@EternallyGod why hua hin? beaches, feeling safe, lots of condos, climate, easy to reach bangkok, nightbus to ko phangan.
If u like to sleep ..go to hua hin .......the sleepy city .....always empty !!!
I dont know where you got your info, but I tell you one thing that you shoud re-fact check some things. The part about good life on $2000 per month in a " cyber myth". You can live on that but your QOL will not be that good! I say this because I am American expat living in Hua Hin for 21 years. I gety $4000/mo and it is just barely enough but I have a lot for that money. About 200% more than I could have ion the states on my pensions. But thats it. Just cheaper by far to live here, but You get what you pay for. I doubt if I could have as much in the US on my pensions, a new P/U and a s second car, a 10 year old house on a 15 yr mortgage, several motor cycles and enough food and a family of 4. Just be careful!
jesus, all that is your problem. people live here for 15000 dollars a year, no problemo.
if you can do without the hookers you can live for much less, but no surf, deal breaker
Hua hin....is empty most of time ....
@Nicolas thai. That's true, except at night during the night markets, haha.
@@roninblue5885 even in the night market ...it is empty ..l know
@Nicolas thai. Cicada and Tamarind get pretty busy, just with the tourists I guess, a few empty seats here and there to sit down.
One of the best things about Hua Hin is that, unlike other places in Thailand, there is absolutely no sign of gay.
So it can remain yours and my little secret Steve.
