Foreigners cannot own land in Thailand. Period.
I lived in Bangkok for three years. I rented a condo at that time. A little over a year ago I moved back to the USA. If I move back to Thailand I would probably move to Hua Hin. I visited Hua Hin twice. I preferred it over Bangkok. What you basically have to keep in mind. Is that non Thai citizens cannot own land. Here in the USA there are similar forms of ownership. I believe it’s referred as land lease. It’s up to the individual what type of purchase they are comfortable with. Or if they even decide to just rent. Your home is very nice. Don’t complain too much about your kitchen lol. At least you have an oven. Not many kitchens in Thailand do. I believe it’s referred to as a European type kitchen there.
My health provider told me that hua hin is an area that is at risk for malaria. What is the local sentiment?
Well... any humid and moist area has risk for mosquito born illness... not just Hua Hin :/
yes!!! I live closer to the mountain behind you!! Lived there for two years!! Fantastic place !! I live next street from the school and the temple!
You can get a window film that cuts down on the heat. I think it's worth looking into.
Done :)
Nice but i would buy a water cleaner for the shower and tap water
Working on it :)
I love your home 😊
@bobbymommychiyo6302 thank you!!! We are very happy with it!
Would you mind to share your lawyer contact? Many thanks 👍
Watch my video on retiring and relocating... all the info is in that video with details in the description :)
I know exactly how you feel Kimmy...hugs
If they don't understand English, try speaking FASTER or SLOWLY like the people are stoopid. 😂🎉 "Pla...aroy" means "fish... delicious". 😮 Apart from that and the "oh my gosh" Murcanspeak, EXCELLENT VIDEO 👍❤️👍. (+1 and subscribed)
100000 ÷ 700 per month = 12 years rent prepaid, 16 free after 30 years if you don't check out..
My husband and I are moving to Hua Hin in 2 months. We visited jomtien, pattaya and hua hin in March and April. Hua Hin was our favorite! We plan to rent first and then decide after a year to buy or continue to rent. Your video made some points for us to consider. 😊
@@JozieY1 glad you found it helpful! Reach out if you need anything!
@@kimberleyssandbox Thank you! 😊
Hey Kimberly and Dave, is there any three bedrooms in the area where you bought your new home let me know because my wife and kids are visiting Thailand. We’ve been up to Wahin. We’re going back next week and we plan on returning in two months to live here full-time. 1:02 1:09
@joemachado316 Hello there! We are not sure what is available but I would recommend contacting our agent Andy Dyett... he is great and will help you find a great rental. His contact info is in our description on my retiring relocating video :)
@@kimberleyssandbox hey Kimberly, thank you so much and yes, we have contacted Andy Dyett and he is helping with us and through him. We discovered that one of the lots we are looking at is in the same subdivision where your house is at one question your husband did a video on a condo that was from friends of yours that were was wanting to rent it long-term. We are coming back in the area for the last four days to work out some agreement with the contractor do you think your guises friends rent for four nights? Let us know please thank you.
@joemachado316 probably would!!! ContactKassie through the link in the description on the condo video... I'll let her know you will be reaching out!
Thank you for sharing. Love your home.
Your video gives me some ideas if we want to have a Thai home where I grew up.
Besides that blups your video on this resort got our vote above Dave's 😂
@@pierremuzerie2811 thanks!!!
thats awesome ur able to experience a proper 4th of July celebration in Thailand!
What a nice celebration! Great video Kim as always!
@@kassiezar4915 thank you my friend!!!
And the cost per person?
1590, baht it was in there last video 🎉🎉🎉🎉
That is Way better than what I've ever had during the 4th. Thailand just knows how to do it right. thumbs up all the way around.
Great video ! Did I miss the price for the party ? Looks better than what I’ve experienced in the US.
:) 1590 baht per person
Fantastic celebration for our country!!!
What a spread!!!
Don't like such videos ! This is not Thailand !
Happy birthday America! God Bless America!
Why would you!!
@stevesee7505 There's still some good there... ;)
Another great video. I am happy for the both of you. Enjoy yourselves.
Lots of sandflies and jelly fish on Takiab beach, its polluted,but most people go there just to make a selfie anyways so it doesn't matter.
Nice! Enjoy your beach time. That is truly the American dream, living in Thailand 😀
With a solid plan, virtually anyone can make it happen!
How beautiful
No shirt, no shoes, no taxes...
@@Hydrosurfer68 no rat race!!!!
Thailand have Bath, NOT USD crap
@mijead00 it's baht, not bath...my viewers are mostly American so USD price is important for me to discuss on my channel
Great day with friends!!!
The food is so delicious, a lot better than most of the places in US. Thanks for the amazing food and video. Can't wait to come back.
@nataliewei5855 thanks for joining us!!!
The resorts looks so much like the one in Bali that I’ve always stayed at. The one is Vanuatu is also very similar but they really are all in the tropics and beautiful. Vanuatu is my favourite place on earth!
Where exactly in Hua Hin is the Anchor bar? I'm retired and looking to continue my kitesurfing kessons. Thank you 😊
Found it! 'The Blue Sky Resort' sign was in the video just before you parked the car.

Great video Kimberly. I will definitely check that resort out. 😀

@@kimberleyssandbox We have decided to go there for dinner tonight! 😁
@@davesadler3752 Let Svetlana know we sent you!!!
How was your dinner???
@@kimberleyssandbox Dinner was lovely. I had the pizza as the pizza your husband had looked so good 😀. We didn't see Svetlana there. But I did tell the head waiter that your video inspired us to visit 😁😁
Excellent video!!!
We had there our dinner in January 2024. Realy a amazing place.
@detlefbednarek574 the food does not disappoint!!!
So many of us (who have commented) can relate to all you so lovingly shared. May God continue to 'restore the years 'the locusts have eaten' is my prayer for you! You made the right choice...I may do the same.
Thank u.. still struggling with it, but it's better day by day!!!
I really want to stay here. Next time
How beautiful to see the tall Coconut trees, and the lush greenery. End of next month I will be there in beautiful Koh Samui.
I see you Kim, Boo.
Hello Dave and Kim. That Rooster must have been going for a Cock fight. That bird was a Myna. If you can raise one from young. They are beautiful talkers, better than the parrots. When trained well. You would think. You are taking to a human being. Kim, I saw a video during the week of a New Resort in Hua Hin. The way it was constructed and finished was just superb. The guy that did that video was Jonny There is something happening., and the video was," The past has come to haunt me. Loving it in Thailand." Thank you. I am going to watch the other 2 videos of yours that is come on my screen. It is 9.00pm here, so it should be 8.00 pm in Thailand.
Enjoy and thanks for watching my friend!!!
Great video of a great day!!!
I agree with resale value and being mindful of what % of your net worth you should invest. With that said, as an American that has been living off and on in Thailand for over 30 years and that has owned five different properties over the years and has made profit, I don't think you got a good deal there, but I hope you're happy with your choice. Don't be surprised to see the roads there get badly damaged by heavy trucks as they continue to build in and around your home. As a tip from someone that has been successful here in Thailand, It's always better to buy a home in an established/finished project area as to determine building quality, maint/upkeep, neighbors, etc.
@MrSuperohhlala good points! I appreciate your feedback! There are about 15-18 homes in our community already... and we've seen re-sale too here, which people have made a profit, so that is encouraging!
This video resonated with me too! I am so pleased you have had the courage to make yourself a priority, to heal and really enjoy life. What a beautiful part of the world you live in❤ My husband and I are seriously considering moving to Thailand. We've found your videos so helpful and informative 😊 Hubby says we deserve an adventure! Let the planning begin😊
@@nicolapress8416 one life... u gotta live it, eventually!!!
Hello again, watched this video as advised and I must say this is a truly informative video with good advice. Really start to get some sense of direction when you need it. Keep it up and thanks a lot.👍
You are so welcome 🙏!!! Let me know of you need any help or if you have any questions!!!
Your video came up as I was browsing and am glad it did. I am planning on coming to live in Hua Hin and found this interesting. Congratulations for your beautiful home and thanks for sharing. Never heard anyone mentioning that you can get around the buying thing through a lease, that's a game changer. Keep it up and thanks for sharing, subscribed 👍 PS maybe I will get to ask you for the lawyer that you used when I'm there 👌
@sandro63 glad to have you!!! I have another video on retirement and relocating... all the contacts for lawyer and a good agent are in the description... I hope you find it helpful!!! Perhaps I'll meet you at some point when you arrive!!! Reach out anytime with questions :)
Whew 🥵😍

Thanks for watching sweet friend!!!
