    At 04:09...In Thailand, alcohol cannot be sold at stores between 2pm to 5pm, and that is why the employee is putting up a screen that explains the law. She was not being rude by blocking the alcohol. The reason for this sale ban is to prevent high school students from buying alcohol after they finish school between 2pm and 5pm. By 5pm, the students should be home with their parents doing homework. Yeah, right! The sale ban does not apply to restaurants, hotels, and bars. It's not very likely that a high school student will visit these places.

      That is interesting. You do see a lot of high school kids around that time. Thanks for sharing.

    Seems like your basic consumables are at least 50% less expensive than here in California USA.... Street food is 1/4 the cost of Thai food here as well..
    Cell phone is 1/2 easily $50.00 / month unlimited data calling
    If you stay away from Bars and nightclubs... a person can live in Thailand for $1000.00 no problem and be healthy and fine. Great job showing the real side of living abroad...

    Thai life its great im thinking to move there, i went there in 2018 as a tourist and it was love at first sight with the siamese energy and i think the cost of living depends on the area so thats why i think its a good idea to learn the thai language.

      Zachariah, its depending on what you want from retirement, if you are dull like me, you will be okay, I saw a Room for < 200 a month and then insurance. I know you can survive on $10 a day USD. Decide if you are a city, country or Beach person.

    • @RyanShanePalmer

      @Justmeagain-ec3wz Před 11 měsíci +1

      ​@RyanShanePalmer Do you have a TESL or TESOL certification, or are either type accepted to work in Thailand? I have a teaching certification in the U.S., but not specifically in English, nor do I have TESL or TESOL certification. I am thinking about making the move from the west, even if it is only for a trial run to see if Thailand is somewhere I would consider retirement in the medium to distant future, nor have I ever visited Thailand. I currently live a fairly spartan lifestyle as it is (perhaps slightly above your modest lifestyle, but not crazy partying, sparing perhaps 3-4 nights per month), mostly due to circumstances rather than choice, so another question I would have about potentially teaching English in Thailand would be what to expect in the way of the salary range to teach in Thailand? If I worked at a school, would I be able to supplement my income through a tutoring source? What amount of money (in USD) would you consider to provide a "comfortable" living per month for a single male, including transportation costs, as I would not want to purchase, nor rent, a car or motorbike. And lastly, knowing the Thai language would be of paramount importance, so other than immersion as the best option, do you have a recommendation for the best way to learn the basics, up to the conversational level, of Thai before entering the country? I have been eyeing either Bangkok or the Pattaya areas as a landing spot, but I am open to suggestions that allow for the affordability and "fun" that Thailand appears to offer. I enjoy the content and wish you the best of luck on your journey!

      @@Justmeagain-ec3wz Hey mate you don't need 120hr TEFL to work as a teacher here you just need a university degree (visa requirements). If you go through an agency you will start around 35000bhat a month, but once you are here you can go to private schools and get a salary of around 50000bhat. For a single male you can live a comfortable life but don't expect to save much money. Regarding language I would look around CZcams for lessons or perhaps find some books Both Bangkok and Pattaya are good options, but it depends what you want. Chiang Mai/ Chiang Rai are awesome. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
