Hello , Just watched it . Thank you very much for the details , as I planning to visit and then hopefully move there. Regards

Here’s at the moment in Moscow lol

You didn’t mention Patong!! The most crowded place. Any way I was there for 9 nights. I had fun but I wouldn’t consider it for business. Where do you recommend for people making business like IT, E-commerce and digital marketing? Is it Phuket town ? Do you agree with that?

9:30 is where you get the answer. your welcome.

There's a KFC at Rawai?(in your vid)🤔I'll have to clean me glasses I cant find it lol.🍗🐔

I absolutely loved this insightful and in-depth video. It's the best one I've ever seen on living in Phuket. I have spent around 6 months living in Phuket, my 2 favourite areas are Bang Tao and Nai Harn, and I always jump between those locations. Hope to return soon!

I'm a Kiwi living in Phuket. Been here a while now, used to love the place however I'm over. It's not like it used to be. Too many ferals from 2 or 3 countries have ruined it. The traffic is insane and the cost of living is through the roof. My Thai g/f and I will be coming to have a look at Hua Hin beginning of next year. Thanks for the great vid.

Hi from Rodney locals! My Thai wife and I planning on living at least 3 months of the year in Thailand from next year. We have stayed in many Thai provinces and Phuket is expensive however you have highlighted how expensive NZ is! It's a struggle here. Thank you so much!

I like the Rawayana, it replaced alot of bars... too many bars in Rawai in my opinion.

I've lived in all 3 countries. Avocados aside, food and fruits are ridiculously more expensive in nz than Australia, let alone in Thailand. To do such a comparison is fun but a practical joke ! The reverse makes so much more sense.

I am a Kiwi living in Rawai Phuket. Single male 59 on a retirement visa. My fully furnished one bedroom apartment in a nice part of the island costs me 10000 baht a month.(I will let you work out the currency conversion). This includes electricity and water. I ride a 350cc Scooter which costs very little to run (95 gasoline is 36 baht L). I took it to a mechanic today for an oil change..engine and gearbox. Cost me 450 baht all up. Food varies as I eat out most nights at local restaurants. A nice pad thai dish costs 80 baht. One cold beer ..Heineken 500ml can 70 baht. I go to the beach most days to swim and relax. I will stay here until I go tits up. I could never live this lifestyle back in NZ. Its just too expensive.

Pensioners in Australia are struggling, yet by moving to Thailand they can live . The government should be ashamed.

Thank you!

Kamala is not part of Cherngtalay.

Sounds like you need an electric car, it would significantly cut fuel costs

Thailand is a 10X on most other places around the globe.

Thankyou for reminding me why I left and never to return.

🇵🇸❤️❤️❤️

Hi mate,great honest vid!!.thanks😀✌️

I wouldn't lump Kamala in with Cherngtalay; they are very different places, and even travelling between them can be a pain, especially in high season. There's still a village feel to Kamala, which is very different to Cherngtalay. Getting to Boat Avenue in Cherngtalay from Kamala (and from Surin) can take as much as 30 minutes in high season. Technically, Kamala is in Kathu, anyway.

I have lived in phuket for 7 years and actually living since few months on the mainland near koh samui. I'm thinking of moving to a quiter tourist destination like Hua hin. It's also not far away from BKK and central Thailand. Will u also move to hua hin? Phuket is also nice and has it's own charm and vibe, but it's too crowded and i hate the traffic and hectic there.

I watched one of your videos with the introduction. It started with the sound of the wind, a drone shot of the big Buddha on a hill, the music faded in, and sharp text displaying the family. It was an impressive introduction. It is a shame that UA-cam algorithms don't like it. I am in the process of trying to decide Hua Hin vs Phuket. The main reason that you selected Phuket is that you are already settled. You know people and the streets. However, it seems "my guess" if you had to do it again you would have picked Hua Hin? The most significant negative for Hua Hin is the three-hour drive to the airport compared to one hour in Phuket (from Rawi). Again, thanks for the video, I will be in Hua Hin and Phuket in Aug & Sept of this year! Most likely, I will pick Hua Hin over Phuket.

Great video i usually stay in karon Im looking at different areas to see where i want to retire

On this budget you essentially had a 1 year holiday, living your best life with your family which is awesome for your family. I wouldn't say this is the standard 1 year budget to "live". Thailand has a budget for all. Depends on ones standard of living.

Hi Lou, great to have found your channel and especially the budget breakdown, can you please clarify what 'personal cash' is in your budget, just in a broad sense as it is quite a chunk of your weekly spend. Good luck with your adventures, we hope to get there one day too!

Miss your beautiful home in Arkles ❤ It was a special place for us to stay while in NZ

Thank you thank you for the accounting. I am visiting Hua Hin on 7th Aug; I will be there for three weeks and then off to Phuket. I'm still determining where I will move to (perhaps near the airport) in Phuket. One of the most expensive 3-bedroom private pool villas is $1,600.00 (Hua Hin). This is not true in Phuket. After 3 months in Thailand, I will go back to the USA. Then, in January, I am moving back full-time. Some days, I want to move to Hua Hin, and some days, I want to move to Phuket. I like the selection in Phuket and the short drive to the airport. However, the prices are much higher. I am guessing -here- 700 dollars a month higher in rent?! Again, thanks for the information. Don't worry about stupid people on the internet. Some of these comments are totally inappropriate for grown-ups. I found your video both informative and entertaining.

Soi dog is a true blessing for our four legged friends. They have saved and rehabilitated so many lives!!! Donate and support them

Favorite video yet, legends

There's really nothing quite like it!

Great vid.Thanks for the tips and for your honest accounting. Good to see you're enjoying life there and doing a lot of energetic activities too! Look forward to our move there in July 2024. Keep the dream alive!

I recently visited your UA-cam channel and noticed its appealing aesthetics. However, during my exploration, I came across several issues that I believe need attention. One area that stood out to me is the SEO aspect, particularly the lack of optimized tags and tag volume. It seems like these elements haven't been adequately addressed. Additionally, there might be other concerns that require your attention

Hello from Kiwi as well ,Married to my Thai Wife for the Last 20 yrs retired and know most things in Thailand ,Phuket will never be the same due to 60/90 day Visa which are destroying Phuket from certain Nationalities ,Love Hua Hin .Better to buy a Town House ,no Problem otherwise you have to set a Company to Purchase a Good home .Prices are Very good the other Location is Cha am worth looking into as well ,Following your Channel any updates appreciated Cheers

I remember your couch!!

You got a crazy deal on that house. I've looked on fazwaz and can't find anything nearly that cheap. What international school did your daughter attend?

Enjoyable vid. Thanks.

Lovely to see Jay on screen (with you), again. We've missed her ❤

send more Whittaker's peanut slab and raspberry lumps our current stockpile isn't going to last long

Can’t wait to see your tax bill next year now Thailand are taxing all monies remitted into Thailand

What a joke 60000 baht a month on rent it’s like burning your money with your budget yes you can spend any budget, but wow, yours is excessive to the full

Thanks for the update x you'll be back soon x

Time will fly past and you'll be back before you know it 😍

Cute you r❤

I watched a Hua Hin UA-camr Almost retired in Thailand bought something like this unfurnished for THB3.5 million.

Nice house, definitely the first house. I can use the side lot of the house into fruit garden.

Just researching Phuket and found your channel. Loving your videos thank 😊

Loved the villa tours May i ask how far from might they be

Good luck! Look forward to welcoming you back soon x

Hello, Why are you leaving Phuket? We are from Germany and always watch your channel. I did not understand it. My English is not so good. sorry. Maybe you've said it before and I didn't get it. Kind regards, Simone😢
