*IMPORTANT!!!!! SOME OF MY RESPONSES TO EMAILS AND COMMENTS ON THIS & SIMILAR VIDS:
Been feeling slightly alarmed (and worryingly responsible) at the amount of responses from folks stating they may just pick up and move across the world based on a 15 min YT video.... Here's an email response I just sent to a guy who said he's considering quitting his job and moving here (despite never even been here before....)
==============
-Honestly, you may think you could live on $800 month/$1000 month etc here but at that budget life would be very basic (plus wouldn't include insurance, visa costs, emergencies, etc etc etc). Personally keep to approx $1500 budget and find that 'just' covers having a modestly enjoyable lifestyle here (one's milage may vary of course).
Both health insurance and long term visas can be costly especially depending on age. Under 50 health insurance approx $100 month and over 50 insurance gets increasingly expensive, factor $300 month-up. Visas: Elite visa $17K USD for 5 years, 60K USD for 20 years. Retirement visa you must show either 65k THB/$1900 USD monthly income, or 800kTHB/$23,000 USD in a Thai Bank account. Many under 50's do get other visas such as education visa to learn Thai Language or Muay Thai etc but this is a short term solution and they're cracking down on abusers.
Thus, BEFORE you say 'take this job and %#$@! it' and jump on a plane to move to Thailand... would recommend at a minimum coming for a visit FIRST. YT'rs like me can make it look all wonderful but of course daily life is much different than a 15 min YT highlight vid. So, please, BEFORE making any commitments (or burning bridges) come have a look first. Then, if you still feel the same and are financially sound, do a longer test (say 6 months) to see if daily life here really meets expectations, suits your lifestyle and your budget.
Good luck
STL
Is it hard to find a car around that price?
Sorry to bother you. I wanted to know if it is hard to find a car at the price that you purchased yours.
Holy smokes! 3bdr + 3bath penthouse for 300k THB (~$8650 USD) for the whole year! Furnished, including electricity, water & WiFi ... AND cleaning every 2 weeks?!! I'm sold. 🤩
Never buy property in Thailand because the depreciation. Better off just rent and you always have a choice to move house to house if you don’t like it after living for a while.
Wrong. Poorly maintained condo's depreciate and houses in the wrong location depreciate, as they do in any country.
@@Reno-vi2tj WRONG ! As a foreigner, even if you buy a great condo or house, the day you want to sell it, the local real estate will depréciate it and oobligate you to sell it cheaper than its price !
Tell me you're poor and jealous without telling me
Even im Thai I think the same as you because Thailand is much more to see then stay in one place ❤
@@Reno-vi2tjno real estate depreciates where I live. Evidently it is you who are wrong on all points
Very few vlogers have the knack of keeping their audience interested and intrigued all the way through. But you sir with your laidback style and meanderings have the perfect scenario. Brilliant vlogs containing so much useful content and info you've become my goto channel for inspirations. Thank you for the time and effort you put in for our enlightenment. Bushyboy Oz.
100% agree! 😊
Yes this man does, excellent presentation. Not monotonous like some on YT.
Ditto
I think I would've immediately signed a contract on that larger studio....gorgeous condo
$3900 USD per yearly rental! Incredible price. This is one month rent in Los Angeles.
Your Side Trips and your Side Trip Life is the BEST and really makes your channel stand out and appeal to the masses! Thanks for always including the prices on the variety of living arrangements and sizes you show, this information is so helpful to those looking to move to and/or visit Thailand.
The studio for £175/month for annual contract sounds sweet. In UK, my local council tax alone cost as much as this.
My last month gas bill was more than that
Same here! I just don't actually want to leave the uk permanently, otherwise I would be seriously tempted to sell up and move to Thailand, having a Thai wife makes it an easier proposition too! ❤
living in london watching these vids is mind blowing
Welcome to rip off Britain. Council tax is nothing more than a revenue stream for local councils. What they do with the money I have no clue. In my area of the UK the potholes are damaging my car, the high street looks like a war zone and our local park is inhabited by drugged up drunken youths. I'm packing my bags, selling up and heading for Asia before I end up in a mental hospital for the insane.
I always hit the thumbs up before I've watched the vlog for all the side trips you take us on. Love it.
Man, what a find! Those rooms were stunning! Thank you so much for keeping your head on a swivel, STL. :^D
So much quality accomodation for so little money...Absolutely fantastic place..Thanks
It's fantastic that they offer a rate that includes electricity and water. Those studios are very liveable even for two people - such a nice standard of finish. Thanks for showing this place!
Thanks guys! Btw, any looking in interested in great value Cambodia accommodation, have a look at For Riel channel :)
It's very nice when you have the air conditioner on 24/7 during the hot months!
OMG, I loved the Fishermans apartments. I would seriously consider renting an apartment for the full year. The cost of the 3 bedroom penthouse is about the same as what you would pay just for a bedroom in a shared house here in Australia. Why the heck would you struggle here in Australia when everything is there for you for what we would consider to be small change.
I agree why suffer, it is convenient but that dollar sure would go alot further
Australia sucks big time
@@MeditateMeHigher. Canada too.
To expensive. You found more more chip in other place. Just looking you self.
U.S. too
What is amazing is the lack of traffic. If you were in California, it would be bumper to bumper on a 2 lane road for miles pretty much everywhere along the coast, regardless of the day.
This video is so beautiful that, I didn't want you to stop it. Its like watching a great documentary in a magical land. I love all your videos and thank you for sharing your explorations of this fantastic country. I wish I was there...
Love watching your travels... but in showing me all these spectacular and affordable gems, your making my decision process way too complex. 🤯 I plan to relocate and retire in Thailand and had thought of renting in the Wongamat or Bang Saray areas. Now I want to explore North and South of Hua Hin, as well as the southern Kohs (east & west side). Thanks, mate! Keep these wonderful side trips coming! 👍👍
STL - don't know about everyone else, but I would love to see longer videos!
As a soon to be resident of Hua Hin I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your fun and informative videos. You have opened my eyes to more possibilities. Thank you 🇨🇦
Thanks for another realexing yet informative video. I really appreciate the maps too. Makes it easier to cross-reference with other places. Love your chill channel!
As always, thank you for showing these gems. If no one told you today, let me say “sincerely thank you and we appreciate you” ❤
Really enjoy your content! I stumbled across your channel maybe a month ago and now I look forward to every video.
We have a house near Khao Kalok Pranburi. At night in front of Sheraton Hua Hin Pranburi Villa has walking street with tons of street food. The condo you were looking at, originally was suppose to be a part of a huge complex, including shopping and marina for yaht, boats, etc. I don't know what the plan is now but I don't see any construction there.
Hiya STL.
Happy Saturday.
Thank you for the lovely tour around. You always find the little gems.
Don't blame you for not doing the climb again in the heat. Gorgeous temple.
Wow, great prices for those studios. Loving the big doors on the second one. The Penthouse is beautiful. Great tips. Always informative. Great video. Looking forward to the next part.
Liked. Shared. Have a great weekend.
I loved that larger 1 bedroom studio ! Please do part 3 and 4 of you can ! Thank you for all your hard work
What a gracious hostess you found to show you around.
Loved that Fisherman House and a great value proposition for a long term place to go chill after corporate UK
Thanks for the share
She really was very nice and really knows all the details about her condos too! Would hire a girl like that in a second if i had a project.
That condo complex is just the ‘real deal’! I am planning my next trip here😛
Wow!!! I think you just made us rethink Nai Harn and moving here instead😊 Great find and thanks for sharing! Look forward to seeing Dolphin Bay next. Thanks again STL! 😊
What a place to get some peace and quiet, lovely. That large studio is a gem.
So peaceful and beautiful. Great video.
That bigger studio is insane, not sure if area is busy enough for me, but studio is perfect 😊
Cool show. One of the best thai vlogs.
I love how you present the information in your videos!
After years of looking at vids (mostly pattaya, I've been there 7 times), this has to be my favorite so far.
As always an amazing video. Just another reason you are my absolute favorite channel!
Excellent videos. Keep them coming!
I just sent Fisherman house a email to live there this summer (for a year)...great place... I hope they accept medium six=zed dogs (Springer Spaniel). I am living near Hong Kong in CHina at the moment (54, American). Will move this summer. GREAT VIDEO!!!
What an epic find, thanks for showing us the fisherman’s house condo 👍😃
Thanks for showing us around, your videos are just amazing!
Incredible video! And condo! I thank you for documenting your adventures and keeping us in mind
Wow, the penthouse was sweet for the money... Wow
I really appreciate your videos and feel that you have got it sussed! Cheap and cheerful home base and then I could just follow you around! 😂😂lol. So many tempting places and so little time! 😊
Very tempting to live there instead of Philippines. We are definitely visiting Thailand next year. Thank you for sharing this video. I am a new subscriber.
Really nice trip. Loved that condo tour. Too far away from Hua Hin for me, but those amenities were great. After being a professional driver for most of 40 years I’m not driving another 10 ft once I get there. Love the videos STL 👍🥂
@VegasNegus- Some people just want to get away from busy towns such as Hua Hin. Plus, the cost of living is much lower than in Hua Hin. The expat community has driven up the price in the town! Sorry, I go to Thailand to get away from other foreigners and live amongst the awesome Thai people.
We go to Sam Roi Yot all the time with my wife’s family, inexpensive and many things to do there…..great video STL!
LOVE SRY!
Love the temples, have seen a bit of that coast. Watching this series makes me love it all the more, thanks xxx
Love your videos. Such a nice part of Thailand. Intelligent design looks much bigger than 25m2
That's good you didn't change your routine love this stops you make
Keep it up
Exellent video. Thank you so much. Now I have a whole new idea if an when I decide to move there. Great stuff!!
Beautiful beach and natural Thailand riviara 😮🤗😊👍🌴🏖🏝🌊🌅
Really enjoying these videos. We are travelling from Western Australia via Bangkok to Hua hin and beyond. So your videos are really helpful for us. Can’t wait to get there in August. Thank you ☺️🙏🏻
Enjoyed your video. From my research that penthouse condo was a fabulous rental esp. with the one year up front price. I wouldn’t have believed it. If you didn’t show it.
Got a new sub.
Keep ‘em coming.
Best
Great vids - the longer the better, more relaxing than watching youtube shorts thats for sure!!
I am sold! What a scenic and charming area! The large studio looks perfect to me. Will keep watching to see what you finally decide on!
Awesome area thanks for taking us. I love all the little stops at cafes and restaurants as well as accommodations. It looks a beautiful area down south fro Hua Hin. I didn't realise there was reasonably priced accommodation too!
This is all true. I have lived in Thailand since 2000. $1,000.00 a month. VISA retirement (over50) $450.00 a year.
Some great spots! Not an area of Thailand I have explored yet, but looking forward to seeing it especially after your videos. Quite an absence of traffic too.
Love your channel STR. Thanks for showing all these amazing places 😊
Deluxe studio and i
I'm sold!..Probably best place I've seen on any video. Great job!
Great! Perfect!
...but I'd be bored in a week. I need bookshops, theatre, movies, places to meet people and make things, design workshops etc.
This is ok if you just want to relax or do online work and do the internet nomad thing. I have no idea how I'd survive the relative isolation.
Amazing location, Make me think about to move there next year as i am currently in Chiang Mai Thanks for the videos....
Ok stop pulling my arm, second person from Thailand I'm subscribing to. Can't wait for more videos.
Every day I look for a new video... too long? Too short..ha Keep up the great tours as I am looking to relocate from the Rayong area. I love Fisherman condos from what you have shown.
This is incredible to see . Years of traveling through thailand and just following the typical backpacker tourist routes. I only visited hua hin once for 2 days 10 years ago. Blows my mind to see what i have missed out. And those cheap accomodations are the cherry on top. I am based in the philippines and it hurts me to see how much cheaper accomodations are in thailand.
It seems like you get much better value in Thailand. I wish that the Philippines was a little cheaper.
...I appreciate the breakdown in costs...Lookn forward to the next vlog.
Wow, this is so helpful. I live in Pennsylvania and my 1bedroom apartment currently cost $2,000/month. I'm seriously considering early retirement to live abroad.
Great video because you comment and show the landscape a lot of video on YT I see only faces from the video maker self-satisfaction man or woman!!
Fisherman house is stunning....great vlog
Everytime I see one of these places I fall in love over again
That dining room set is stunning, I'll take mine in Mohogany.
Right now at Fisherman House - 3 month stay:
Studio 25 Sq.m - 14,250 baht / £320
Deluxe Studio 48 Sq.m - 21,750 baht / £490
Deluxe Suite 84 Sq.m - 38,250 baht / £860
Penthouse Suite 115 Sq.m - 45,750 baht / £1,030
The above prices are the total cost for the entire THREE months, not including utilities...
Just sayin'
I drove past yesterday 17 June 2023 - looked empty...
Thanks for the update. Odd, the price you're quoting of a 25 sqm was approx the price of the larger 48 sqm, as one can see @ 11:23
Regarding 'looked empty' not surprising there's few people in dog days of low season and in a reclusive place but just another plus (for me at least;) STL
Just to clarify, these prices are for the FULL THREE MONTH stay when paid upfront. To get the monthly cost therefore - divide the above by 3 🤓
So - you can rent the stunningly beautiful three bedroom penthouse for just under 15,000 baht / £338 a month!
Damn! Had I known that I would've taken it on the spot... Cheers, STL
Wow wow and wow, you are the man bro, thank you ever so much amazing video. And the prices over there incredible. What a nice place to visit and possibly retire in some day.
Brilliant content and yet another excellent vlog! The Fisherman House Residence looked really amazing, what a gem! Right up STL's alley! Congrats again from a very happy subscriber! :)
Thanks!
What a charming video! Wow, you are living the dream!
Thank you once again for a great video, like other commenters on here, I could easily watch longer. I can’t wait to get back over there, only 2 more weeks ✈️ 😎
Stopped at the Demi beach concept today, nice little gem. Thanks for heads up! We have a condo in Hua Hin but we are looking down this way. Great videos!
Wow, great vid. I'm looking to retire in Thailand and getting this type of info is very informative. Keep up the good work.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the trip! Awesome to outside of cities!
Love the videos buddy … keep them coming…
Thanks so much!
Really loved the condos!
Wow! Fisherman House was beautiful. This is what I'm looking for to rent for 1 year. My budget is $600 USD.
Thank you for your videos. They're helpful.
I was in Sam Roi Yot nat'l park in 2016. Hiked to the cave it was amazing. :)
At 11:27 - Deluxe Studio (48 sq.m.) - 4000 USD per year (single payment upfront). It's just WOW!
I visited Jomtien, Hua Hin, Pattaya and Bangkok in April & May. I would like to relocate to Jomtien by October. I'll be back in June
Literally had no idea southern thailand was this nice...thanks for the video! may add it to the bucket list
It's not southern. Only few hours from bangkok.
I’ll tell you what incredible videos man thank you for the info. I am speechless.
I am looking to move to Thailand and your videos are extremely helpful. I'm even starting to understand some of the language. Looking forward to the next video.
Great, great stuff. Major thanks.
Long time no watch... and your vids are still greatly informative!
This condo is amazing. The only drawback on this "riviera" is the sea, which does not have crystal clear waters, this north in the Gulf of Thailand!
Half price for condos with oceanview and pool in Huay Yang. 120-130km south of Hua Hin.
Hold my beer
@@SideTripLife 600 Swedish owned homes there. 20 years ago they started to build bungalows and condos, with kitchens and bathrooms with Swedish standard. Amazing beautiful place, with a train station house that’s even more picturesque than Hua Hins, in the middle of the village between the ocean and the motorway. Only 10-15km to the border to Myanmar. The condos has 20-30m2 balconies with oceanviews and the loft entrances can be used as a balcony too, for breakfasts with 180 degrees Djungle panorama against the mountains at the Myanmar border.
Tack. Stayed in a nice on there previously: ua-cam.com/video/LuCat_-uks8/v-deo.html
Will be swinging by the area again shortly for an update.
Cheers/Skål STL
@@SideTripLife Yeah, I forgot you had been there 😃 So many amazing places along the coast in Prachuap Khirikhan.
@@chriscorleone3565 what is the condo name?
Small room but very well design it looks bigger than a lot of condos that I had been stay before. I will go retire Thailand . That’s it.
The design of these condos is so clean and nice. And the views are amazing as well. Very nice find.
I really liked that small studio, it was very well appointed and ideal for one person. I guess that was on the ground floor, are there others the same but higher floor with a balcony? Great series!
Everyone on the Beach is on the Phone no matter which nationality IT IS SAD.
Love this video! Thanks for sharing all the details on the rents😊
My pleasure, glad you liked. STL
I'm currently in Playa del Carmen.
I've binged watch many of your videos. I don't recall you mentioning biting insects. Mosquitos especially.
I enjoy your side trips. They're never long enough.
With sea breeze mossies not too bad on this stretch. Haven't experienced sand fleas here but best avoid high tide-line debris and damp shaded areas at top of beach as they love that. Btw, this area in SE Asia reminded me of Playa del Carmen 20 years ago: ua-cam.com/video/-u2C0ZjfKOM/v-deo.html
PS: great username :)
I would happily watch for an hour.
@@SideTripLife I got zapped by sand flies when I stayed at the Dolphin Bay Resort two years ago.
I spent a month in Prachuap City several years ago. Really nice beach town. I look forward to getting back there.
watching how this apartment is in literal paradise, its bigger and cheaper than what I could buy in Romania...
A USD 500 split, 2 guys you're over the hills, all beautiful condos
Your videos are wondetful, very informative, keep up the great work
Went to Hua Hin and Cha am in April loved to place. Thinking of retiring there . Thanks for video. Very informative
Love your videos! Always look forward to the next one. Wish she would have shown you a one bedroom condo. I noticed your audio inside the car is not as good. Would be nice if you could do something about the volume.
