Thank you so much Kun Adam. My wife & I met you recently in Jomtien and you were so kind and generous with your time. We are two of your older fans and were thrilled to meet you. Wishing you continued success and safe travels ! 😃
Hey mate, loving your content. You offer a pretty unique view point on expat life that I havent really seen from anyone else yet. Stuck In Brissy for now but planning to move over as soon as I can figure out an income. Cheers
Dude. Of all the vloggers talking about Thailand. You are the mist positive, informative guys on CZcams. I'm going to make the trip in spring 2024. I appreciate your insights. Thanks man.
I have been in Cabo San Lucas Mexico for a month and I can tell you, it’s expensive! Tacos are $4-$5 each. I had dinner last night and a bowl of clam chowder, 1 taco, and a Coca Cola was $22.
@@jameshall2299 I've been Mexico a lot I was there in February prices have gone up for instance in playa del Carmen beers use to be around 40 now 75 to 80 and trying to add a service charge like they do in America I've been going Mexico for 15 years now trying to add service charge very cheeky
Yeah Adam, i know how busy it is from before the situation. When we camoe back last year, the situation was not ended and all was empty or closed. Now it is commin back to how it was. Cheers mate 🙌🍻
I think this is one of your best videos. As an expat, your views on living here match my own experiences and opinions on things to think about when choosing Thailand as a home base.
What's the best way to hire an experienced expat travel agent type, or trusty free lancer to set up a 3 month trip to Thailand, with possible multiple extensions? Also, who to stay away from in the travel business. Anybody?
Another good one brother. Those Covid years were actually the best years that I've enjoyed over here. Business sucked, but damn was it peaceful and it seemed like all the guys who stayed here through it were for the most the good ones ;-)
Living here on and off for 23 years, Bangkok has really gotten more commercialized and Westernized. It used to be this lesser known city and as the internet has grown, so has the awareness of Thailand around the globe. We lived in some quiet areas of Jomtien and Pattaya and although it has it's commercialized in this area too, there are more quiet pockets and areas like the darkside and elsewhere to live away from the craziness. I lived in Seoul 21 years ago. Although I made a bunch of friends pretty quickly and had a pretty good job with a free apartment, I still didn't like South Korea much.
@@jomontaneeHello khun Jo!!! Nice to know you live near Pattaya. I like your activities regarding politicians in Thailand. You have done awesome job. So far so good. BTW I admire you so much.🎉🎉🎉🎉
hey adam… great content! 🙌🏼 i will be in bangkok from october until december and also wanna drive around through thailand with a motorbike so, stay in contact 🤙🏼
Bro, don't get a two stroke to travel around on. They use lots of fuel and need way more attention. Sure great power band, if you are dirt riding but for road tripping not the best option.
Great explanation keis of where things are at. I thing the biggest thing is people say Thailand is so cheep, yes it is compared to Australia but its so easy to get lost in just how much money you are spending. next thing you know $100 is gone. Great video mate, stay safe
Did you visit Thailand pre 2020? I was in Hua Hin / BKK last week and would say that it is still a lot quieter in the tourist areas than this time of year pre covid.... You'll be shocked in the high season if it does return to where it was tourism numbers wise if you haven't seen it before.... Enjoy the quiet times whilst they last!
I reckon songkran this year was about 50 percent of 2018 … low season figures for Thailand will be interesting. HK is still about 50 percent of tourist pre Covid. Majority (as before c19) mainlanders just this month they are thirty something ages - before that old people only. Been bleak in the mainland for young people so they think HK is awesome but it’s far removed from what it was. Daily living prices are up but rents seem downward as lots of people leaving. Sam is paying less than 5 percent of my cost!
@@trailrunningexperience496 it's interesting that HK is still way down. The majority of Thai tourism pre c19 was Chinese but they've not returned which is why numbers are still way down. I'd have expected tourism in China (including HK, Macau etc) to be up making up for the lack of international travel.... Hopefully, things will get back to normal soon...
@@pg.travels I just checked this years figures ABs it’s a 1/4 of arrivals in June in 2018. Fir Thailand I think only last month did Chinese tourist surpass Russian arrivals to Thailand so they are coming again. I have very wealthy friends in the mainland who aren’t allowed to travel outside their municipality … I think old officials in their cities think they will defect 😂.
Benjakitti Park now This old factory is now a variety of sports fields, including futsal, basketball courts. badminton court Table tennis and teqball courts, as well as playgrounds and gardens. You can play for free. Next, there will be a yellow duck boat at Benjakiti lake as well.
Great advice in your video. I was never able to separate being a tourist to being an expat. Burnt out after 4 years and even though I was earning 100K a year I still didn't save as much as I should have. Back to the less exciting more structured life in Oz I had to go...
Great one, Kris. Yes, Thailand has become expensive but still cheaper than the Western world. It's common sense to look after your money and budget it.If you reite in Thailand and you have a liking of drinks and girls, then make sure that your bank balance is big. Just be sensible, and you can enjoy your long-term stay in the Land of Smiles.
To feel less tourist and be welcomed as a semi-Local is TO SPEAK THAI! It works! You and Sam can do accommodations tour. The locations, the prices and the atmospheres for the 2nd half of the year. ❤️😍
😂 my sister is a psychologist ( or that other one thats a doctor and can give you pills ) and she warned me before coming to japan..... “never romanticise an holiday” gee she was right so much that saying has imprinted it self in my expressions to others....
Whether true or not, I have heard/I understand that YOU and other CZcamsrs CANNOT freely speak and express opinions - which TRULY reflect your experiences and thoughts. I understand that the Thai government MONITORS all CZcams comments. (And, their may be consequences, if you speak honestly about things you have seen and experienced.) If it is your choice to live in Thailand, then you must use discretion in your comments. I could be wrong, but anything and everything I see/read on CZcams, about Thailand I take with great suspicion.
Motorbike : Have a single video, livestream in which you ask about bikes and gain information from your nearly 60,000 subscribers. A Yamaha Exciter is far more modern than a Dash. Your older viewers will recommend a PCX while your younger subscribers may recommend a Raider or an Exciter. Silly questions you will need to ask, such as: How comfortable is the seat for a pinion rider? Is there room underneath the seat for a second helmet? .... and much, much more.
I have the answer, I can pull a Honda dash engine apart completely to a bucket of bolts and put it back together and fire it up. I love two strokes, I have rebuilt 4 stroke engines too, I just prefer 2 smokers.. don’t need storage, these bikes have a cult following, I fit the profile lol
If you want an obscure underbone great for YTing on all roads look at the The Suzuki Raider J Crossover , it's a clutchless manual you can ride one handed.... aboiut 60k
If I can sustain myself financially while in Thailand, but don’t want to fork out the upfront $20-$30k for the elite visa, what is the top other visa options for a young Aussie in your experience mate?
Hey Keis , info for Nova Dash. It too old for the trip you maybe get trouble with engine or sum plastic leaking. Because they are out of sell from around 1998. I own one fast and fun but they will load your lower back and that not comfotable for a long run (it hurt trust me) and may cost you gasoline billing skyhigh (BC it 2 Stoke). Wave 125i , PCX, NMAX some family bike will solve you that risk. For me Rebel 300 or upper it the choice now day Cruiser help you alot with long run. But if you want to modifier Dash , Hope you get a good condition bike good luck. sorry for my bad english.
You'll be shocked with the inflation rate here in Korea. I was in Thailand for about 7 months and returned to Korea recently and some of the prices in CU and GS25 have risen like crazy.
Good old Sydney Earn $2k a week Cost you 2k to have a family in Western Sydney a week lol 😅 You are living the dream I hope to move over 1 day with family We will be visiting rawai in September 1st time for 11yrs ( honeymoon) 😂 Love the videos Keep it up champion

Inflation situation around the world now and Thailand has the lowest inflation rate. It's normal that the price of products is more expensive but still reasonable compared to other places.
Seeing it so empty is so mind blowing hey like a movie with the world ended and your 1 of the last left hahaha. I remember going last year soon as u could enter without quarantine it was still abit quite not that many tourists. Will be back 2morrow night wooo hoooo
I definitely miss some things from pandemic Thailand. An expensive German pub restaurant there in Bangkok had 30% off take-out. Dine in wasn't even allowed off and on, off and on again. The giant 1 bedroom with full kitchen hotel I stayed in for 5 months on Soi 7 was $800/mo, and now I noticed it runs $1600-1800 on Booking.
Adam! Will you be around HH with Jonny (well he is always around there) in the first week of September… my 50 bd with my cool finnish friends… once in a life time trip more or less.
I'dlike to get a six thousand Baht per month apartment in Pattaya. Paying 7,000 per month now in Bangkok. Please drop a link to your friend Sam's apartment building maybe I can contact the building management see if I can move in there. Thanks.
I truly do miss a lot of the local vibe that was present during the pandemic in Thailand. That was my first experience with Thailand and I loved it. Now things kind of don't feel as genuine as before.
might as well ticket with the bus going to pattaya, 143 baht vs 1500 and it takes 30 min longer in the bus. No one is really earning the $55 dollar difference in 30 min working time..
Without wishing to sound 'nosey' what do you do for a living ? Also do you have any tips for getting a longer term visa. Am now in a situation where I am seriously considering the move, have done loads and loads of research but the visa's seem to be reliant on a huge bank account. I really don't want to be in a situation where I have to do the 'border runs' to renew the visa but at the moment it looks to be the only way. Over the last 24 years I have averaged 4 visits a year made very easy by staff tickets on an airline. Have made quite a few genuine Thai friends from my very first visit to Koh Samed so I don't feel I would be totally blind as a newbie. Its got my head spinning .... a lot
I am married to a Thai and am applying for a retirement visa. Yes i had to put money in the bank here. The big thing i see is the rules for a long term visa here seem to change quite often. I was told would take about five months originally to receive the retirement visa. Have been here since January and now looks like it may be October before i receive my retirement visa.
@@rondodson5736 Thanks for the reply, its a minefield and marriage doesn't seem to carry much weight. I know a couple of people who do the Cambodia border run but I heard today that the authorities are starting to be a bit more investigative so an official visa is obviously preferable. Hope you get you visa soon

I don’t need to pay my man! But a couple days partying in Pattaya can run me quite a bit, car each way, nice hotel, 5k a night party money.. it adds up! It also includes travel which I do quite a bit of
@@keisone what do you mean you don't pay every man on this planet pay's one way another do you pay for there drinks, food taxis travel well your paying anyone can take these girls out on cheap dates probably easiest P on earth and Thailand woman are inferior to South America woman you should try traveling there Keiss would also grow your channel
Of course I pay for drinks and things, I’m a gentleman.. But not barfining and paying “hookers” as u said.. I am dying to visit all of South America, it will happen man!!
I’m coming back first time in over twenty odd years 😂 I was looking at an old card from Kho pangan and a bungalow at moonlight bungalows started at 50 baht a night 😂 so as for you thinking big changes from just a few years back, used to be proper backpackers delight, now it’s just an instagram place, still looking forward to this trip, looking forward I’m looking at Vietnam now as my new go to place.
I notice you look quite young, too young to be retired and having a pension to live on. Therefore i am assuming you are making money vlogging to support your current lifestyle. Now my question is if you have moved to Thailand and are living on income you are making for vlogging, then what happens when you get to retirement age ? Do you somehow have a good deal of money put away so you will be able to survive in your old age ? If not working to receive a pension when you get older, how do you plan to survive in your old age ? I moved here after i had retired and luckily i have a very good pension.
Yeah, I worked in corporate and management jobs for years so I have some tucked away already, but plan to continue to prepare for that.. If I make it that far

I was in Cabo San Lucas last year I didn't find it to expensive to tel the truth was 25 to 35 peso a beer
@@terryjames6713 not anymore! 60 pesos beer and only 16 pesos/dollar

For us in England that's still quite cheap London is 6 to 8 pound now a beer 60 peso is like 2.80 as exchange rate is around 21 for us

I am on 300 baht unlimited, been on it since I arrived 2 years ago..
@@keisonewould be very surprised if that was true, if so please kindly share the plan. Because that is not the going rate or anywhere near it.
@@user-vo7zv8xh8y there is plenty of plans like that, I can see them in the app, I’d send a screenshot but I can’t..
Pop in to a true mobile store
One more question😂, are you talking US dollars or Australian dollars?
Usd in this one haha
@@keisone most be alot of hooker's with this amount of spending
I don’t need to pay my man!
But a couple days partying in Pattaya can run me quite a bit, car each way, nice hotel, 5k a night party money.. it adds up!
It also includes travel which I do quite a bit of
@@keisone what do you mean you don't pay every man on this planet pay's one way another do you pay for there drinks, food taxis travel well your paying anyone can take these girls out on cheap dates probably easiest P on earth and Thailand woman are inferior to South America woman you should try traveling there Keiss would also grow your channel
Of course I pay for drinks and things, I’m a gentleman.. But not barfining and paying “hookers” as u said..
I am dying to visit all of South America, it will happen man!!
If I ever move abroad I would open a bar. Absolutely Outstanding
3-4k USD??. Damnnnn
I’m coming back first time in over twenty odd years 😂 I was looking at an old card from Kho pangan and a bungalow at moonlight bungalows started at 50 baht a night 😂 so as for you thinking big changes from just a few years back, used to be proper backpackers delight, now it’s just an instagram place, still looking forward to this trip, looking forward I’m looking at Vietnam now as my new go to place.
truth
I have a used motorbike for sale here in bangkok, I’d you’d like, I’m in thonglo
I notice you look quite young, too young to be retired and having a pension to live on. Therefore i am assuming you are making money vlogging to support your current lifestyle. Now my question is if you have moved to Thailand and are living on income you are making for vlogging, then what happens when you get to retirement age ? Do you somehow have a good deal of money put away so you will be able to survive in your old age ? If not working to receive a pension when you get older, how do you plan to survive in your old age ? I moved here after i had retired and luckily i have a very good pension.
Yeah, I worked in corporate and management jobs for years so I have some tucked away already, but plan to continue to prepare for that..
If I make it that far
hes just being very truthful to himself but remember angkor trust you'll be there by the crack of a whip 😊
