As you were flying out to start your new life , I was flying back to sunny South london for the lock down ! watching your journey has been so inspiring ❤ much love n blessings 🙏
Good luck. I have been following you since the beginning , and now I see it's the same rat race like uk, just changed the view and weather. Wish you guys all the best
Yeah, it is difficult extending being a holiday millionaire for more than a few months, at some stage you either need to be a real millionaire or make money otherwise! But I hope he is doing good now, and can enjoy life without too much work. He have tried a few different things.
I've stayed at that Vista. It was really nice with great service and a wonderful stay. They had an arrangement with a scooter rental place and would drop off and pick up the bikes there. Made it very simple and convenient. Kata Hill is fantastic. But the best was how close I was to Maybelle's Coffee Garden for nice evening dinners. 😄😋
I can give you one reason, overpopulated tourist trap. Strictly for those who fell for the hype and have lots of money to waste....otherwise forget it and see the highlights on UA-cam without the hassle of actually having to go there yourself.
People are so clueless sometimes; you can't STOP progress! We don't have any say or control over a lot of things. In my 74+ years of existence, I have learned we can only make adjustments. Thank you for sharing this information, certainly beneficial for our future visit this coming October. Looking to stay in Phuket for 7 days and patronizing Maybelle's Coffee Garden. Traveling with a friend and need 2 separate beds; wife didn't want to come along on this visit. Personal family lives should be kept private. Agree with your decision Richie. Thank you for an interesting, informative video. Hello to Maybelle and Macy!
@@timwalker2458 What are you talking about? Just telling him to pass on greetings to the family from a fan, viewer and subscriber. Where's the harm in that? And who are you if I may ask?
Hi Richie, just a suggestion, could you promote your new business on another youtube channel? I enjoy this channel to follow your unique life and times in phuket and the coffee garden. I don't want to watch a video on rooms available in phuket. There's hundreds of similar youtube videos out there. I understand it's a new business and I wish you every success. But, please don't ruin this channel for those people who aren't interested in renting holiday appartments.
That’s exactly my point, this advertising on UA-cam should be done elsewhere, like a website, bad and boring content especially for expats already living here.
Hey Richie! Was great to meet you on your morning walks while I was there the past 3 weeks. Back home in Australia now. Looking forward to coming back and staying in one of your accoms soon! Also looking forward to watching the renovation progress of the penthouse, I love that stuff too! Amazing spot Kata beach 100%
Richie . Enjoyed your video. I have stayed at Aspasia on many occasions, initially when it was a hotel….and more lately when you can just rent an apartment. Yep it’s a great spot. Haven’t been back since Covid.
maybe 9 like me, then up at 5 and out walking for 6. Work begins at 7. You still get a solid 8 hours and miss nothing except drunken hooligans and noise.
Just sitting here watching with my friend in Patong haha. Really great to see you three yesterday. Was hoping I’d catch you again, and so so great to meet little Maisy. Hope Maybelle loved the presents. Leaving for home tomorrow unfortunately, but back to explore Hua Hin end of July. Still trying to figure the best way for me to get over for a year or so to see if I could move permanently. I’ll keep holidaying for now. Good luck with Cocos x x
If u are married to a thai person and u have the marriage visa, getting a work permit is the cheapest and easiest to get for a basic job description in a business that u set up in your wife's name. Nothing wrong with that.
I stayed up there at laem sai bungalows. I stayed there in the 80's at the time it was called bonghill. Just a bunch of freaks hanging out. No power, didn't even have the road you walked up back then. Had to come up from karon beach. There was just a trail going up there then.. The trail now goes though what is Marina Bungalow. First time was Jan/80
Such a shame, was really enjoying your vlogs including the business stuff, watching your family grow, seeing Thailand and you were quite inspiring aswell but it seems it’s now changed into one long property rental advert
Patong is only for party 🎊 I would not stay there but it’s ok to visit . Plus it’s only a tiny part of the island. Go explore 🏝️ hi Richie great to see you making vids again 👍🏻
People watch videos from Thailand to see Thailand.. not some dudes face. Don't worry alot of youtube channels make the same choice as you.. interesting colors and nice lil place there.. I'm sure someone will rent it quickly.
G'day Ritchie, looks like your new business is going well mate, well done. On the vax subject, l got the flu vax every year for five years before the plandemic. But then l went down the rabbit hole, and now l question almost every vaccine that's shoved down our throats, it's all about profits for big pharma. Not saying all vaccines are bad but really look into it ay👍
Hello Richie my friend I had an idea. Have you thought about doing a live stream day each week, That way you can participate with your followers I noticed your videos have dropped off a little bit friends from Australia Steven & Rachel
A friends son has just been refused exit from Bangkok Airport, he lost his passport and was issued an emergency travel document from the British Embassy, he is 4 days overstay because of getting this document travelling to Bangkok from another area. Border control refused him and said he needed a stamp and to speak to police? The British Embassy said the document and 3000 baht shout have been enough, any help or information or has anyone else encountered this! He is only 17
I remember a man who owned a bar in Phuket was drunk and actually took money for a payment he was arrested and he had to pay 10 000 to the police but he shouldn’t of taken money he was there years
Hi Richy, I couldn't but notice that the green building balconies' are very low😳I'd be scared to allow small children out there unattended. Nice places but just saying.
What about the Thais that your taking a job from, Richie I think thai law is pretty clear on property management and real estate, From what I know foreigners are prohibited from real estate jobs. You might want to watch INtegrity Legal Thailand he has a video all about this. I am sure Maybel is fine but she needs to be the face as well, not you on the videos. Don't want you to get in trouble mate
He has a Thai wife and daughter, so is he not entitled to contribute and put food on the table for them just because he's not born there? If Maybelle wasn't so intelligent and came from a rural area without education, should she and the child starve because he is not officially allowed to work? How ridiculous!
I was liking your previous video's and about to subscribe as an Aussie expat in Phuket. But as expats and fellow investors, we get smashed with these property agent people. Sorry mate, not interested in your channel, but I wish you all the best in your new adventure.
If you're not interested why go to all the trouble in writing your comment, most people who are not interested moves to the next video, I really dont think he is going to mis you. 🙃
@@StanDaFan Nothing weird mate, this channel went from building a business with a loving family and has transformed into an advertizing platform to flog off real estate. Local expats turn off very quickly from this cheap grab and the use of UA-cam for their gains. Other platforms are more suitable for this and I wish him all the best.
To work as a real estate agent you need a work permit, right? Richie, you have haters (every bigger youtuber has them) - don‘t expose yourself too much!
Funny how Thais want to complain how hard life is for them but they have millions of tourists coming there spending billions every year, so is their government so incompetent or the people so docile that they are unable to get a satisfactory life from all out of this? You only have to look at some of those vehicles in the areas to know many of them are doing extremely well.
Dude, the property is beautiful , and you are doing a great job promoting it, but for your own credibility you should be a little more ... real. It is NOT at a 8 minute walk from the beach unless you walk so fast as you were trying to lose someone following you, puffing and panting all the way up. How about saying it is a 15 mins walk on a very leisurely pace? Being honest does pay on the long run...
Assuming you are making money from UA-cam Yes, if you are staying and living in Thailand, then you need a visa. They have been talking about a digital nomad visa, but I don't think it exists yet, so otherwise you would need a work visa. If you are a travelblogger going to different countries and not staying in Thailand for long, I believe it is ok not to have work visa, but you better look that up if that applies.
Absolutely fantastic video update ritchie , but who the fuck had the idea to paint those apartments in yellow and green it looks absolutely disgusting...
you never heard of a "real estate agent" ? Google it, then you will understand how it works. You think owners are all running around advertising and promoting their properties themselves?
Thanks!

Low season is the best time to go, been doing so for over 20 years !!

Good to see your doing well in Thailand man.i can't wait to get back there myself.
I just went to Phuket for the first time now I know why people said don't go.

@@ThePlainTruth1 however the perspective has value. Vicariously living through UA-cam is nice

Why not just skip it? Richie is not sitting with you with a gun to your head making you watch it

@@sebbster8703 it’s his channel he can do it where he wants. You won’t be missed if you go elsewhere
This isn't your channel. You don't get to dictate the content. He has a wife and family to support.

Great to hear everyone is doing well 👍🏻🙏
Hop you maybel and baby are doing well
Well done buddy. I will be renting another unit from you soon.
Amazing redevelopment project Richie. Hope you manage to secure the rights to market them all.
Hi Richie, are the properties for sale as well?
Great video Richie, would like to see Kata walking street one video.
Useful information, Thank You
I like the penthouse as well
Be there soon ! Great channel Richie!🤩🇹🇭💪❤️
Love the 2 bedroom apartment, maybe book for next year 🤞🏻
Loved Phuket lived there moved out too many Russians living there.I now live in beautiful Hua Hin quieter but ticks all the boxes for me.
Hey hey 👋
What kinda of camera do you use? Your videos look amazing 👏
Nice video mate. That apartment looks cracking.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the ghost penthouse as it is
If u are married to a thai person and u have the marriage visa, getting a work permit is the cheapest and easiest to get for a basic job description in a business that u set up in your wife's name. Nothing wrong with that.
What’s the price on the penthouse renovation and management fees? Some view
I stayed up there at laem sai bungalows. I stayed there in the 80's at the time it was called bonghill. Just a bunch of freaks hanging out. No power, didn't even have the road you walked up back then. Had to come up from karon beach. There was just a trail going up there then.. The trail now goes though what is Marina Bungalow. First time was Jan/80
I totally understand about keeping family matters private, but it'd be nice if mum and baby just said hello briefly at the end of the videos.
Such a shame, was really enjoying your vlogs including the business stuff, watching your family grow, seeing Thailand and you were quite inspiring aswell but it seems it’s now changed into one long property rental advert
Sad, great Channel that has sadly gone to the money! Best of luck
Howe much for the apartment if u want two buy it in this state and Howe much if its finish
Patong is only for party 🎊 I would not stay there but it’s ok to visit . Plus it’s only a tiny part of the island. Go explore 🏝️ hi Richie great to see you making vids again 👍🏻
No, Bangla rd is, many good family hotels in Patong.. Bangla rd is a small portion of Patong
That ghost penthouse, the balcony is screaming out for a jacuzzi/hot tub.
You can get a work permit and eventually get citizenship it’s possible
Although very hot and sweaty walking up that hill it was well worth it and frankly very easy for a postman 😅
Where are you from in the UK. I can't place your accent
He's actually from Scotland but lived most of his life in England
It’s a northern accent
Thumbs up 👍 Richie, say Sawadee Krap to Maybelle
People watch videos from Thailand to see Thailand.. not some dudes face. Don't worry alot of youtube channels make the same choice as you.. interesting colors and nice lil place there.. I'm sure someone will rent it quickly.
People watch Richie and Maybelle to see and hear from them, not some yawnsome pictures of the countryside, I can see that in a documentary.
Lovely places ❤
Each job needs a work permit.
If you have more than 1 job you need more than 1 work permit.
But if you trust your accountant 😉
Richie :) I'll be there in August , shall come for breakfast :)
shame youve run out of ideas for new posts ,it really hard constantly creating content ,but just seeing flats in thailand is really boring
G'day Ritchie, looks like your new business is going well mate, well done.
On the vax subject, l got the flu vax every year for five years before the plandemic. But then l went down the rabbit hole, and now l question almost every vaccine that's shoved down our throats, it's all about profits for big pharma. Not saying all vaccines are bad but really look into it ay👍
These off-season prices are a real bargain.

Richie, no need to justify not really showing your daughter on camera. Absolutely what I would do if I was in your situation

You looked & sounded half dead to me 🤣
And that was one of his better days 😂
Hey..it aint easy stfup...
Probably not legal for you to be involved in thai realestate yourself, resticted to thais only, see integrety legal vlog

Absolutely fantastic video update ritchie , but who the fuck had the idea to paint those apartments in yellow and green it looks absolutely disgusting...
yup those are some hideous colours, must be the owners 5 years old chose
Maybelle wants to show you a property she is renting out.
She hasnt seen it yet ?
So great advertising and no BS.
Richie are ther shark in this earya
who owns the place ,,you ,ur babe ,her family ,,,do u get payed ? how much ? why does anyone need you
you never heard of a "real estate agent" ? Google it, then you will understand how it works. You think owners are all running around advertising and promoting their properties themselves?
Do you ever stop complaining
Good decision do NOT use your kids for content I applaud you & hope Maybelle doesn’t either, kids deserve privacy & protection
Nosey aren’t you!😂
You dont seem to have any communication with any of your subscribers or like any comments, very much all about you !!
