My first thought was hmm that's going to be really tight on $200. The final amount of $350 is more realistic. I was surprised electricity is still quite a chunk of it. Solar power is the way to go but also requires a substantial investment. I never drew on the walls like Otis did but an idea for your wall might be this special chalkboard paint at that level not higher than the window and the kids can eat their heart out displaying their art 😉
Little Picassos! :)
Tis so adorable. When u ask him to draw on the wall n he admit that he did n immediately apologise. So cute.
hes a guddun!
@@lifeinruralthailand what u mean? Don't understand n thanks
Just means Tis is a good one!
I really love the way you and tiss interact, your so patient and loving… it brings tears to my eyes to see the love you share together, I’m new to your channel but have watched many of your vlogs, it’s a genuine pleasure to watch your families life in Thailand, keep up the great work, you make an ageing man very happy.
Thank you Steve - appreciate your feedback - we are like this 8 hours a day everyday 🙏😊
yes, hes a wonderful father
Great parenting. No yelling or smacking needed. Well done.
😊✌️🙏
Well done Ryan. You give good informative ideas and are very positive about the opportunities on the lifestyle and culture that Thailand offers you. Unlike a lot of other you tubers who whinge about costs in Thailand. Good on you and what a great family you have.
Thank you Craig!
You guys may not live on much...but you have a home. .a real home
Get some blackboard paint and paint a section of the wall or if the wall is too rough, put up a sheet of cheap Masonite or MDF board and paint that. Give the kids some chalk and let them at it.
good idea!
Love the interview u did w Pete. U need to build a swing for Otis
Your pet pig is awesome
Even though you needed more money for the month it is still less than living in the city. So many fresh vegetables for $11 USD! Learning to grow them would be awesome. At least worst to worst people could still go back to surviving in the country if needed. Good feeling of security to know this during these uncertain times. As always, enjoy seeing your family. Otis is so cute and learning so much. Looking forward to watching how fast the pig will grow. 🤗
Thank you Teresa
Like to add a note on electricity in BKK: l was living in a 25sqm apartment and electricity costs were Bht1400 in cold season and about Bht1800 in hot season. Then l moved to an older house in BKK and had suddenly to pay Bht3000+ with a new aircon, washing machine etc. We checked with the authorities but nothing wrong with the counter. In the meanwhile my daughter lived in a new house and spend never over Bht1500 for 2 aircons running almost all day. So be aware the costs can vary. All our costs were directly charged, no landlord involved who usually mark up.
Great vlog,
Cheers
I learn a lot watching your videos keep up the great work
Thanks Mark 🙏
This definitely gives us a good perspective on what to expect when we move to Thailand a few years from now! Thanks for your insights and sharing this with us Ryan (love watching your journey!) 🙏 and I must say that I always enjoy watching your vlogs and my goodness……little Otis sure is growing up fast! I look forward to watching the next one:)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Realy interesting Ryan, thanks for doing this and sharing it with us🙏
And as always, C Ya in the next one, cheers 🙌
Cheers 😁🙏✌️🇹🇭
Make your well pump solar. That’s what my wife did up in PhoSai.
Always interesting and informative video
Thank you Michael 🙏🙏
Thanks for the information...gives me good idea what to expect...😊
Most welcome 😊
Great video thank you.
Hiya, sorry I had to run out earlier. The weather has been crazy here. Have to get out when we get the chance. Sorry, daddy. His little face. Great video. Your pig is so cute. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week.
Thank you Nicky 🙏🙏🙏
Informative charming video.
Glad you liked it
Good experiment.
However, it means nothing since you left out two of the most important items:
STRESS (you must show how do each of you handle it and solve problems as a team)
OVERSPENDING (you must show where you get the money to SPEND DOUBLE what you have)
This is like learning to swim without getting your feet wet.
In reality a person on minimum wage would not be able to spend double of what he gets.
To be a successful experiment you must show YOURSELF you can actually swim.
Here in the USA, many people easily solve this by:
1. stop paying rent, that works very well since "Uncle Sam" won't allow evictions.
2. start shoplifting, the store won't even call the police, since the police will not reply, because it is only a misdemeanor if the value is under $1000.
3. start "panhandling" it works very well here.
I agree it means nothing and it was an unsuccessful experiment.
As I say in the vlog, it was an "epic fail".
All the other info you mention is already available on the channel.
Thanks!
@@lifeinruralthailand To do this realistically it would be difficult, but it would be fun trying to actually solve all the problems together.
Such as: fighting like dogs over the last slice of bread. Or Chairman Mao's experiment in 1960 that cost 40 Millon lives including cannibalism.
Everyone would learn a lot and maybe we would have more respect for the have nots.
+ you would have the help of all the annoying wise guys like me making worthless comments/suggestions.
as an x-aviator realistic training was important and keeps you alive. I really liked your wife's approach to the kids writing on the walls, by having the kids to attempt to correct the damages.
Awww Tis! I did the same thing when I was your age little man! Good luck Ryan and Damo with the budget! A basket full of vegetables here is around AUD$60! You are living in absolute paradise!
Thank you!
Very good and informative video.
Glad you liked it
Nice video as usual.
Thank you 🙏
Great video Ryan living the life I crave. Wishing you all health and happiness 👍
Thanks Andy - all the best brother!
All these vegetables are so healthy, and gosh so cheap $11 USD. It would cost me over $50 in US, esp Hawaii.
Very interesting vlog hope you and your lovely family have a fantastic year ahead love watching you all keep safe all the best Michael 👍
Thanks Michael 🙏
Interesting! Perhaps I should try that challenge as well and see where we end up as our circumstances are a bit different...
Good show, Were bumping along at about $350 a month... That covers everything for both of us. Fortunately, we've got our health, pets are healthy, no rent as we stay with family but we chip in our share as part of the $350. We don't drink, or dine out ever. Got a motorbike that I fill about once a month. starting a small raised bed garden to grow some indica and kratom, would love to get some baby wood rose started in the yard some day...you guys looks good and happy and fit. God blesses you.
Love the videos! Your meals always look so delicious! Makes me hungry!
Thank you 😋
Another great video! It's very interesting 🤔 to see how the cost of living varies from place to place. Tis is so adorable! I never minded the coloring on the walls (in fact, I would sometimes join in on the fun)! A useful tip for removing crayon is by using a hair dryer (doubt you use one, maybe Damo)and heat the crayon marks and dab a cloth on it. A clothes iron on low on top of a cloth would work too... much easier than painting every time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family and knowledge with us 😁👍
thank you!
Hello!
I agree: I guess Ryan doesn't use a hair dryer much 🤣 And about the writing part... That huge picture/ paiting/ drawing hanging on that wall in the first place must have been such an inspiration for the kids ☺ Hopefully they didn't decorate that painting too much...
Have a great day🖖
@@heidihotvedt7880 Hello
👋🤩 Heidi! I hope you are well! I'll see you soon on the next Bru-crew Livestream 😁👍
@@familydutton6568 thank you. Joels regular live streams are in the middle of the nights my time (02 or 03 am) and now i' just tested c+ just worrying beeing too sick to care for my cat and myself. doing well enough though. Cannot go to work, so I have time to comment my favourite videos
@@heidihotvedt7880 We just got over it... make sure you drink lots of fluids and get much rest. That was about all we felt like doing. I will pray for a speedy recovery! Our Father is the Great Physician and HE said HE will never leave or forsake us! HIS are promises you and I can depend on!
Interesting, this is a good way to test ourselves how likely that we can live minimal
Thank you!
Welcome 🙏
Ryan I know I'm off subject but you should try and build a swing for the kids they would love it
yes we have seen some nice bamboo designs!
Just spent 3 weeks in Thailand, haven't had time to watch any of your video, so I'm watching the 6 last today!
Great as usual!
It's true that for many things, prices are so much cheaper in Thailand than in Europe, still, 6000 bahts, even being very cautious when I was in Bangkok, I would spend them in 2 or 3 days 😁
Glad you had a good time and are enjoying the vids! Ryan, Damo & Tis!
Very interesting. Thanks for that, gives me a good idea of what money i need to survive!!!
Best of luck!
Thank As You Because Yo Living More 13 Year in Thailand Thank Bless you and family and Fren
Good for live..
& good for life.
Well done you're making the dream cary on the the good work
Thank you Neville 🙏
Hi very interesting vlog
Thank you!
Ryan... get some Chalk Board Paint & paint a wall for Otis to draw on !🤩
Good idea 😁🙏
Hey Ryan and Damo and Otis, a very good video and a challenge I do not want to do myself. I admit I do have a generous amount of money coming in each month and manage to spend most of it on one thing or another. This month it was jewelry but I will make a handsome profit in the end.
I was not surprised at your experiences until you came to your internet experiences. When I ever get to come visit with you I will give you information on how to cut that significantly. It will amaze you how cheap you can get it.
I am surprised you don't have a garden to grow the food you consume on a daily basis. I know people in the United States that have a quarter acer lot and there house takes up a big chunk of it and they grow enough food to feed themselves and lots to give to the people in their neighborhood. I would think that would a no-brainer for you guys. That is one of the first things we will do when we move to the country.
Just remember, the more garden you grow the less grass you have to cut.
Great video we are currently building in Amnat Charoen on farmland, I've found some of the local craftmanship exceptional for a fraction of western prices. Still a good few years until we can retire there but these vids help build up little tips for life in Thailand, cheers and good luck :)
All the best Stephen 🙏

Asik you Videos That's important Live Happy Everry Day Is Bitifull Enjoy off Living Everyone the Good of Life
I've seen a guy do $300 a month in Chiang Mai... including still going out for a beer with friends and eating out once and a while...He was single with no kids, so that makes a difference but it was in the city of Chiang Mai, so I was still impressed...My monthly budget when I lived in Chiang Mai was between $500-600 a month...But Maybe I could have gotten buy with a lil over $400...
Just goes to show that living on Thai basic wage is extremely difficult. Most of the poor Thais need to borrow money from lone sharks at high interest rates to survive . The poor have no money thus paying more if they need to borrow money.
yes thats right
Question: Ryan were you like Otis when you were at his age? He is not afraid to talk ‘ช่างพูด’ in a very charming way. His future is so bright. ❤️
Yes my mother used to talk to me all the time - Otis and I talk like this 8 hours a day non-stop 🙏😅
@@lifeinruralthailand 😊❤Otis.
Beautiful...
Thank you brother 🙏🙏
JFC 2000b Electric! Mine in Jomtien is only 780b & I use AC about 10 nights a month!
Oh man, I once made my own LSA extract from Hawaiian Baby Woodrose. I had previously tried a low dose and nothing happened, so I chose to make it really potent to ensure a powerful experience. I went camping in the Delaware Water Gap, a beautiful natural area, took some anti-nausea medicine (big mistake because I could not induce myself to vomit once I realized I'd taken too much). My tent had real bugs and spiders on it, but they started expanding in size, and the trees were breathing. Not a big deal, but the body load was insane. Basically it felt like having a bad case of the flu, while tripping! I decided to go home, and there was a hospital on the way, so if I felt out of control, I was going to go to the emergency room. I made it home, stopping several times to check the tire pressure, since the LSA made me feel really low to the ground, and I thought my tired were going flat (which of course they weren't). I walked in and my father had rainbows shooting out of his head. He tried to have a conversation, but I told him I was sick. I laid in bed, with the room swirling, and intense auditory hallucinations (the outro to 'Wild Man' by J. Geils Band, where Peter Wolf ad-libs with passionate vocals, on a loop inside my head!). I didn't sleep the whole night, and I couldn't eat until the next afternoon. All told, the experience lasted longer than 24 hours, and I got no valuable insight from it at all - I was just grateful to have gotten home safely without having to go to the hospital (or worse if police had stopped me). I was preparing to move to Alaska and I nearly blew it by putting myself in such a dangerous position... I was only 23 at the time, and chalked it up to youthful stupidity. I've had some very positive experiences on various natural psychedelics, and I believe that they should all be legal and used responsibly. But my goodness, LSA is what I would call a "low quality psychedelic" as the negative effects were just too overwhelming and completely overshadowed any spiritual value I could have gotten from it... Anyway, just a word of caution! Not to mention, I would imagine taking a psychedelic in the extreme heat and humidity would be very unpleasant, even if the plant/drug were a higher quality one. My best advice would be to keep some strong benzodiazepines on hand, just in case you must terminate a difficult trip in a hurry. Or better yet, just stick with kratom. :-). Do you plan on making a video about your actual enthogenic experience in real time?
Thank you for sharing, I speak about the plants a lot but very rarely my experiences with them as I live in thailand and its not good to speak of such things, I have a vlog available on accident dosing with datura not too long ago. Agreed the body load of LSA Is not pleasant, in particular the vasoconstriction is causes is very uncomfortable. not for fun!
@@lifeinruralthailand Yes, I live in Thailand too. I did a few videos about kratom after it was legalized, mostly to tease my friends back in America, where the hysterical politicians whine about how kratom is some kind of "monster drug destroying our precious children"... Most of the hardcore experiences I had were a long time ago, and they were either in the USA or Europe... So, I'm not running around glorifying Yaba or anything, 5555... That LSA thing I mentioned happened in 2006. Access to appropriate medicine actually played a MAJOR role in my decision to finally leave America - It's really disgusting the way they treat chronic pain patients over there.
As I'm sure you know, Cambodia has very easy access to weak opioids, and in Thailand you can get Tramadol & Codeine easily and the doctors are much more sympathetic and respectful compared to those in Western countries. Kratom is actually much more effective than the pills, so I've totally switched - but I waited until it was legalized, and now it's totally out in the open here. I've written some articles which were published on Erowid.org (many more to come over the course of this year, as part of my Rock N Roll English project - as I mentioned, most of these experiences are from 15 - 20 years ago, and it's actually quite fun to jog the memory! The more recent Kratom one was written after legalization): erowid.org/experiences/exp.cgi?A=Search&AuthorSearch=Fleming&Exact=1
Hope you enjoy the articles! I definitely enjoy your videos. Actually, when I feel too much negativity from the internet, Western media hysteria, etc, I'll deliberately seek out videos that are way more relevant to my current life - and your stuff is pretty close to the kind of thing I've been getting into. I have a tiny bit of experience with organic farming, and my wife and I are in the process of moving back to Chiang Rai to slowly build up a mountain resort. It will have a recording studio on the property, and lots of free beer for guests. So thanks for the positive vibes, and reinforcement - it reminds me that there are a lot of like-minded guys out there. 🙂
how many
seeds did you consume?
It easy if you are alone and with garden.But not easy for family.
I can taste those fruits ...the fruits I had in Malaysia was the best..they tasted like fruit should...ripe...
สุดยอดครับ อยู่แบบ พอเพียง
Drawing on walls are a rite of passage….my older girl did it when she was Otis age, and so did my younger boy…lol….I love local markets….350B for that load of vegetables…cheap! I think animals feed will bust your budget….still halfway thru the video…living simple is e way to go…
Just joined your channel, seems pleasant in Thailand !. Umm, the cute miss piggy is a pet, I hope 🙂
Welcome to the channel 👍🙏
You could use chalkboard paint on one area of the wall and let the kids draw there :-)
Interesting challenge, having found the price difference of all the veg did you do an equation of how much you would of saved in comparison to your usual outlay’s, wouldn’t be surprised if it added up to a fair amount over the year , hard in life to step back from a routine we all fall into, song = Routine Life = El Moth.
Great info
We live in bangsan and we tried for one week to see how we could live on we managed 1200 baht for the both of us just for food and water so it’s possible depending on your lifestyle
So tempted pull the trigger after watching this video and make move to my wife home town of phang khon. We already have a home and our budget would be $850 a month.
hahaha yup, I'm with Damo....... the kids can be equally creative on paper or canvas ;-)
Hello!
Loved the artistic view you had on the childrens wall drawings, but liked even more when they had to help clean up😁
Sorry about asking this next question in this video, because it does not belong here. But this was the newest video I could ask:
Where did the music video go? I can't seem to find it..
Have a great day 🖖
Thanks for watching!
@@lifeinruralthailandthank you, but where is that black and white music performance? I was about to show it to my best friend. She sings Janis Joplin this way...
I interesting exercise to undertake. A good way to see where the excess spending is.
On another note, the tree trunk posts used in the living / kitchen area, what species is it?
Always excited for these videos. I hope the restrictions and requirements change in Thailand. I won’t put my body through a therapy which is said to be a solution to “the problem” miss Thailand
I live in udon thani I own my house same as you no rent just water and electricity.but I'm a drinker about 3 days a week in town at the bars non smoker I reckon we spend 50 thousands a month wife and 1 son.
You have a very good idea for survival..people should try this..but bigger city's have rules
Thank you Margie!
Always great videos Ryan! Can you do me a massive favour please :-) .....do a food related video, as in what you eat day to day and how you adjusted. This video didn't really show it and I'd love to see how you manage... I'm currently living in NE Thailand with my girlfriend, I've been here 4 months and I am really struggling with the food. It's easy in Bangkok & Chiang Mai as there are lots of western options, but here the food options are really limited. Maybe it's time I try more vegetarian? But please, do a day in the life food video... I'd love to see that.
Will try to integrate something into future vlogs - it’s always laap, pumpkin as you saw here and curries for us 🙏😊✌️🇹🇭
Interesting challenge. I have a better idea of what to expect as I will also be living rent free in
Isan but I won’t be freeloading 😂 Great to see you’re all dong well. 👍
perfect!
How’s Emma? She’s behind you and struggling to get up and walk.. ( I know she’s blind but she looks not good) makes me cry.. I used to have a pug too..
She is very old now so we believe nearing end of life :(
I can see Otis as future Alex Face or Banksy, we saw it here first 😀
🤣🙏✌️
I like to drawing of kids on the wall. I would leave them. Lol
Thanks, this tell me that I can live very comfortable with my $1400 when I turned 62 in 4 years. I already have about 5 Acres of land and now I just have to save some money to build a house on. 👍
Perfect!
❤❤❤
Ove the market s can't go wrong
200 hmmm here in western ny that a week flr gas food 😳 amazing if you can what I have been missing I came home one nice my whole basement was chalk floor to . Just look at it said oh well
The budget is going to be more difficult to keep, prices of food has risen 15% the last month and the bath gone up 10%. If we farangs notice it it will be hard on the local people.
You can say you stayed within budget, if you both were working.
Best wishes to you All.
True - two minimum wages would be a win! thanks
Thank you very much, this is a very helpful video. I like to shop at the markets as well but I must admit early on I decided not to buy meat. I am sure it is my western bias but I thought getting it in the store was safer? Your son is an amazing little guy, I love listening to him. One question unrelated, do you ever do a “concert” for the local community?
Hey Barry - we haven’t had any issue but when we have meat we also get from tesco most times - I am planning a yearly music festival it’s in the works at the min - all the best 🙏🙏
I'll add...
For me in Jomtien, Pattaya with "the basics":
4500 rent (1 bdroom 100mtr from beach, 2nd floor, 36sqm)
850 electric
320 water
4000 - food (supermarket & market) & toiletries etc
2500 - eating out
600b - phone + petrol
12,770b - $400usd - $550aud - does not include nights out or Visa costs - let's not get into either of those lol.
Yes best left unsaid 🤣
Nice experiment. BTW, I really like that neckless. Do you sell them online? If so, please provide a link if you don't mind.
We don’t yet but this is definitely a good idea 🙏✊😊🇹🇭
Hi, I will be moving to Udon Thani province in 2024, any advice regarding what personal affects to take in shipping container?? Also general advice regarding living in rural Thailand, love your blogs by the way....
🐷 brilliant 👏
They will outgrow coloring on walls.
Thanks. Reminds me about my own three kids l raised in Thailand, but in BKK, started with 10K Bah
t per month having 1 kid to about 15K with three in a few years later. Now l think you should have 20K per month ready at a minimum.
Good stuff!
Can’t believe the price of electric for you guys. Has it gone up vastly or is my memory terrible?
It would be 3000 without the solar, admittedly its for all the complex ( 3 homes and 8 people) plus my hot tub which is the main culprit!
That’s good to know, was going to say about a thousand baht ought to cover it for a single home with aircon even? Just a guess. But my memory isn’t great or quite vague in those times and it was along time ago now. The 2000s. Think 500 sterling inlcuding rent would be a minimum for myself. But I’ll like to be at a grand a month to be comfy - for any eventualities. Love this vlog by the way. It really appeals to me. After 6 years of wild times there be nice to just find somewhere to settle and live a simple peace-filled life. Amazing what we become when we clean ourselves up and realise things we never knew before -see life very differently now. ❤️
I just found your channel! My family and I are living in Hat Yai. How important do you think it is to learn the language for quality of life here?
You might be able to pull it off while drinking, if you stick to the homemade moonshine... I very deeply do NOT recommend that though! Better off staying sober. ;-)
i tried livin off 500 a month and it was not fund, i had a daily budget of what i can use on food some days i would not spend half of my budget so i can enjoy a nice weekend out, but living cheeply when you have the means to afford 2x-3x more , i know its an experiment but the wife might not be happy lol
She enjoyed it - she says im the one that spends too much! she is right.
making your own bread is cheaper u could live off 50 a month if u have rice and grow your own vegies and buy expired meat at the market in bulk lol, but the wife might be pissed off lol
@@lifeinruralthailand you got yourself a good woman
Wow very lovely for your family, where is your village in the thailand
Buriram 🙏
@@lifeinruralthailand yes
You won the lottery living 14 years in Thailand ? nice videos btw
worked in 5 star hotel industry here:)
Did you ever provide an update on the savings of the Solar panels that you installed ? And was it worth the investment?
To be honest I would say wait until the technology is cheaper - we are saving around 30,000 which means it will likely not pay itself off in our lifetime. Thanks
I know it possible. My girl friend does it every month in Bangkok. She get paid 10k baut a month with a college education.
🙏🙏🙏
dear Ryan:Do you plant your own papaya and many easily grown veggies?I don't suppose that 200 bucks will be enough for three people per month.500 bucks should be the proper amount at least.Btw,lemme remind you about growing more plants around the house,be careful the mosquitoes do like to hide and reside in some sorts of plants and come out to bite people.
yes I would say 500 would be fine, and we have some papaya trees yes :)
Very interesting, and extremely well communicated vid, but I gotta ask.....you mentioned other foods like pasta and you bought loadsa veg etc, but I didn't hear you mentioning any meat, yet you have chickens and of course at least one pig taking centre stage...............do you have livestock on your small holding to eat or just for eggs and as 'part of the family'?
We will sometimes eat chicken if I kill one of hours myself - we no longer eat pork and beef- - and we eat eggs 🙏✌️😊
I've budgeted 15k per week each for myself and my Thai wife..retire at 60. young 53 now...should not be a problem. have self managed funds
Yes should be enough 🙏
❤️🙏🏻Ryan for taking the time. Can you roughly say how much per month for a 1bedroom small house , with a small plot to grow vegetables etc.
I would say around 5000 baht rural to
10,000 baht in a more central place 🙏
Do you ever go to Thunder Castle to watch the mighty Buriram United?
I haven’t been. 🙏😊🇹🇭
The thing I like about you to people who is opposite to you drinking. you don't disrespect them
Yeah not my place - o complexity get it- my drinking days were some of the best 🙏😅🇹🇭
You need to sing more. good luck on the 200$ but it would be hard to go 2 months on 200 a month
