My goal with this channel is to grow a community of people who like to have fun.
People who like to travel.
And people who understand you only live once!
I want to inspire you to see that being retired is the best chapter in life.
At the end of the day, this Channel is all about YOU. Let me know what you want to see next and I'll do my best to make it happen!
After all...I'm Retired, Working For You.
I am a Canadian and I've been living in Thailand for 10 years and I can't think of a better country to be in during this pandemic.
yeah i agree. we're pretty damn lucky so far.
Asia countries did much better than the west in general; I am in Vietnam and covid19 isn't so serious here , was managed way better than Europe.
You have clear and beautiful English, I really like your channel.
You give an optimistic spirit and humor in these difficult times.
I miss Thailand. Greetings from Israel!
thanks so much for this wonderful comment!
I’m Australian and I love this channel, no wonder Aussies are sending you gifts
well that's so cool. lots of Aussies around here.....and i love that! i've always felt us canadians and you aussies are very similar, except we do our fighting on hockey rinks and you do yours on Aussie Rules Football pitches!
@@RetiredWorkingForYou it’s funny you say that because some Canadians I know there in Thailand who hang out in the Aussie Bars watch our sport because it’s erratic and all over the place like ice Hockey so they find a common ground, great people, would love to meet up in Thailand when I can come back and go stay in my condo
Amazing Thailand
ขอบคุณสำหรับข้อมูล..😁😁
I follow you for a while and I enjoy your channel Chris. Refreshing and finally a great vlogger covering the things in Thailand. Well editing skills Chris. Way to go Chris. I believe the 100k fans will be reached before March. Cheers.
Dream on, this must be the most boring idiot to ever post content on youtube.....hopefully his visa will run out and he'll be packaged and shipped back to Canada!
@@davidrotoreuther5168 Another jealous idiot!
Brother, you make Canadians proud! Favourite new channel by far. Keep it up Chris!
You're getting better with these updates
Greetings from Sweden. I really love your content! Informative with some humour makes my day.
Good info, will share to my friends abroad.....
Covid-19 situation in Thailand is the best 1 of all countries in the world.
Been refused a STV as coming from UK! But told to try via retirement visa, wish me luck!
Thanks for this update. I got a job proposal to come 1st January in Bkk. So your channel helps me a lot to prepare my trip and my new life with my family. Thanks again for working for us 🤘
my pleasure Julien!
ยินดีตอนรับคะ
Thailand government officals estimating that over eleven million Asians tourist will be visiting Thailand in 2021...
Sure, and the Thailand government is also suspending all taxes also.....
This is the first time in more than ten years. That I have traveled in my country without many Chinese tour groups. I can eat street food at Yaowarat or anywhere else in the country comfortably. I don't mind Chinese tourists, But must admit that so many Chinese tourists lack peace and beauty.
Thailand is now accelerating the construction of railway systems, including Bang Sue Grand Station, high-speed trains and expressways. Which is expected to be completed in the next 1-5 years. That will make everyone's travel more comfortable.
Please be patient. We are working step-by-step to make sure everyone is safe and comfortable as possible.
We still welcome all nations with sincerity and our smiles as always. シ
Thank you Chris.
your country is already amazing!!! and just getting better!
Thailand is clean And wait for you to visit . In my home, there are attractions and great food waiting for you.
Sounds great!
Hey Chris thanks for the info as always. Stay safe. From the US
Great video dude! Caught this one right away! Would love longer videos!!!
Thanks for the updates !
Chris: "Who should Thailand tourism target, comment below"
Neil: "ME, they should target ME and give me my STV!"
Most Millennial tourists do not have much money, so they can't afford quarantine, multiple PCR tests, fancy hotels etc.
So you can get your STD!
I WILL BE IN LINE RIGHT BEHIND YOU!
@@ubiquitousdiabolus Yeah, just idiots at TAT think backpackers spend big money
Good information details video in a Thailand
Loved todays video full of information
But still waiting to Thailand 🇹🇭 fully reopening
Thank you for sharing. Like your video and already subscribed.
awesome!!! glad to have you on board!
Well come
Good information bro👍🇨🇮
Awesome job on the update. Thailand will take years to get back to normal at this rate. The virus comes from China and Thailand is openly welcoming them with little concern, building their tourist plan around them. Do they really think Chinese covid numbers are accurate?
Hitboss Gaming Do you think China would have opened Wuhan Provence some time ago already, for domestic travel, if covid wasn't under control? Risking millions of Chinese lives. Besides, Thailand will monitor and quarantine every visitor. Biggest risk at the moment are Myanmar workers illegally crossing Thai border. I agree with you that it will take long time to normal tourism numbers.
Hey David...wake up. Consider the source of this world plague and the government that unleashed it.
Decades at this rate. The last country I'd take back is Chinese
As of November 1 all entries will require a Certificate of Entry through a website portal. No longer applying through an embassy. One more unannounced change.
Can you share the website portal? Thanks.
Great informative video Chris
Thanks 👍
They really need to open up and open up quickly. Me and my wife are in USA 🇺🇸 and waiting to head back to her hometown Kohn Kaen
Optimistic numbers but have to provide some hope to the people too. Random giftage...gotta love it.
Another great video! Looking forward to more normal times!
Nice for tourist
Thanks for the updates in real time, gutted I was due to be in Thailand (Udon Thani) for Nov and Dec, keep up the good work. I hope Thai's start to make plans for UK entries.
Wow very very beautiful video
Thanks for share and Good morning krub have a good day Uncle chris 👍👍
thanks CNX FUFU!
I hope they open to usa too 😬hoping to go end of 2021!
At the rate the States are going, I fully believe that unfortunately they will be among the very last country to gain full acceptance into Thailand. The big election coming up will undoubtedly have an effect on that issue, one way or another.
@@Pitviper73 Despite the garbage you see in the media, parts of Europe and South America are doing WORSE than the States in terms of Covid deaths per million people.
Good video of great Aussie music at the end the Angles. Into Day 6 quarantine/prison in Bangkok asked for another room with a view and not a wall. Perfect now. Cheers
Hei chris. I come From Norway. I am retired. Good job on making videos. I enjoy very much. I have been to thailand 6 times. I love the climat. Soon winter is coming with heavy load of snow. Wish i couple be in thailand. But hopefully this virus suddenly go away. And everything go back to a New normal ✌😀🎸cheers from southern Norway.
yes, hope it goes away soon. winter.....i don't like that word!
You are so much fun to watch. I agreed on the STV for the cruise ship. That must be hard to control as they may have made multiple stop from different places. I wish everyone the best. We will get through this as us human are intelligent enough to survive through so many pandemics. We will not become extinct like the dinosaur. 👌
thanks a lot for your nice words!!
Fantastic Video . Keep it up 😊👌
well thanks!
Yachting is a very big earner in Phuket. Superyacht crew will have to quarantine on the boat. I agree you'd have to be insane to travel on a cruise ship to Thailand right now.
Thanks Chris , always interesting - The Angels 🙏🍺🇦🇺 - she keeps no secrets
AWESOME Aussie Shirt!
You know it!
Please Create a video on how to get job in Thailand, any agency that could help, thanks sir for your efforts, love Thailand ❤
There is probably plenty of thai recruitment agencies online.
It's near impossible. If you are a native english speaker, 4 year accredited degree, and TOFL you can do teaching for $1000 USD. If you actually have a teaching degree from the UK, Canada, or the US, and have experience teaching english as a second language you could get get lucky and get one at a private high school or Uni. I met folks making up to $2500 in that situation. Otherwise it's pretty rare to see a westerner being an employee. Those are usually folks transplanted from the west to work in an international office like Colliers, Siemens, GE, etc. Those jobs are rare and more higher end. Otherwise it's vlogs, internet jobs, live off your retirement. Internet job like piece work etc. There are more options but you certainly can't work a normal basic job.
How many times have you been? Where are you from?
@@SchnazzyVideo thanks man, as I'm an IT engineer and applied for the IT job there but no success, even i applied for an IT job in Marriott Hotel Chain but no luck there too 😀
@@toshumalhotra Please try to applied to software company, Finance and securities company, airline, television,..etc., all are most required software staff. Hope you can have a good job in Thailand.
@@vwatana Very thanks sir.
hawaii has recently opened up to tourists and out of 3000 new arrivals, 4 have tested positive using the rapid test which is the pin prick blood test and is said to be 70-75% accurate. There is no quarrantine for arriving passengers that test negative
same for Tahiti, French Polynesia, preflight test, that's all
Nice update chris thanks , I was playing on coming over from the uk in December again but going to hang fire as dont fancy staying for 15 days in a hotel ........ alone lol
me too
i'll keep the updates coming. surely lots will change in the coming months.
It's not possible anyway, the STV is not available for UK citizens due to the current covid outbreak.
@@sheogorathdaedricprinceofm320 thanks for the info and yes it’s all going Pete Tong here in the uk as the government can’t run a bath let alone a country
Awesome choice by your subscriber friend, The Angels are a classic Aussie band with some brilliant songs, listen to some of their early songs and you won’t be disappointed 👍👍
cool!
I'm curious if they reach their goals about 11million Asian tourists. I not feel very confident about this. Winter coming in Europe and it hits us really hard. Japan, Korea and also China get a winter time with below zero degrees. I think they will get a second wave too but not so hard like we do. We will see
Thanks for the update Chris.
Please be careful looking into the camera and walking along the edge of the canal!
yeah I was gonna say that 2:00
Yes ! That could have turned soggy quickly !
oh wow that would have been terrible!!
I have to choose between Covid and falling into a Bangkok canal I think I would choose Covid
@@RetiredWorkingForYou Yes, it would be! And your regular viewers have already seen you fall into a pond once while walking through the park! Be careful while you're working for us. :)
Hi Chris an update on my STV application from the U.K. .. e mail response U.K. not being considered for STV due to high infection rate. Also we just been totally locked down for 4 weeks in U.K. and most of Europe so I can only visit the supermarket !!!
Thank you for your info. Is very helpful tip. Stay Safe my friend cheers buddy :)
It was my understanding they are going to allow both charter super yachts and cruise ships. It is unclear what they consider a quarantine. Will people be allowed to mingle with each other, off shore, for 14 days or will they be restricted to their cabins? If allowed to mingle, it seems the quarantine can begin after departure, if the first destination is Thailand. Another option would be to stop at an uninhabited island, if one exists, along the way, so passengers could have some fun while in group isolation. It seems like there are some creative possibilities with this to make the 14 day quarantine more enjoyable. Still, I have to question just how manageable 600 passengers, plus crew, will be, if there is an outbreak.
I'd go on a cruise tomorrow but I used to work as a merchant seaman so it doesn't appeal to me
Chris, Ruby Princess cruise ship returning to Sydney was the primary spreader in Australia.
Thanks Chris! I'm curious how the American got an STD visa. Let us know when you find out!
You're probably looking for the STV visa...the STD one is one you never want.
American banned from entering Thailand
Def don't want an Std
I went to the Thai embassy in Vancouver Canada and they said Canadians don't even qualify for STV. Now what do I do?
For those wondering how an American got approved: I was told that general tourists from outside the region will not be approved for the STV in general, however there are circumstances that will grant eligibility for others. I was not told what those circumstances were, but that I would be told after I apply if I did so.
Good vlog he give thai subtitle./thank friend.🇹🇭
'First batch' and 'roaming free' ................camoflaged analogies, keep 'em up, wouldn't expect you to leave home without them.......soooh refreshing
haha. nice!
Hi Chris, I am an American. I lived in Thailand in Chiang Mai for over a year. I am back in the US and want to come and live in Bangkok. Any ideas on how an American can get to Bangkok in the Spring 2021? I am open to anything and money is not a concern I really need to get back. So glad I found your channel. I am so envious that you are there. Good for you. I was in Bangkok in January. I loved it. Thanks in advance for any advice you might have. Jay
I love you god bless you
Cruise Ship? If it is Chris throwing a 【5M sub celebration party】on 1st Jan, 2022, hell yeah! :D
haha. that sounds like a plan!
Greetings from Budapest,Hungary! At 3.10, omg! We used to go there almost every day for the drinking water :D ♡
Awesome job as always Chris, must get you a Scottish and Irish drinking team shirt too as those Aussies have no clue how to drink properly with their tiny little beers
Still no update on the whereabouts of the Jamaican bobsleigh team at the W District, I am starting to get worried that you abandoned the search to focus your search for the Pad Krapow lady
ETA for opening to tourists without quarantine? January? April?
Those who will be 'released' are more long-stayers, rather than ordinairy tourists...
But I wait until that STV isn't needed anymore...too unclear and way too expensive
So on the STV is that proof of Thai medical insurance still part of the scheme? Quarantine costs still about $3000 for 14 days? Other hidden costs?
i love your sunglasses! where did u buy them?
robinsons!
ขอบพระคุณท่านทูตท่องเที่ยวประจำประเทศไทย(I promote U) Mr.Chris Tourism Thailand Ambassador.✌️🇹🇭🙏❤️🍺
well thanks!!!!!
Take care bro, hope we could grab a cuppa when we visit hope soon
hi chris,
neighboring countries, Indonesia & Singapore, have started reciprocal green lane arrangement. Does Thailand government signal any interest to have such arrangement as well?
Hi Chris! It appears that the Thai government has now issued a list of 25 countries that are eligible for the STV. I have a question: Let's say someone is a citizen of a country that is not on the list of 25, such as the UK or the USA, but they are currently in a country that IS on the list, I'm wondering if they would they be eligible for the STV? In other words, is their eligibility based on the country of their Citizenship or the country that they are currently in? If you could do any research on this question for your next 60 Second Update that could be of huge interest! Thanks, Chris.
ใส่หน้ากากอนามัยด้วยครับ....ขอบคุณครับ
Hey Chris thanks for the update....here's
hoping and planning for April 2021 for my Indochina tour 2021
Do you have any Los Angeles Dodgers gear? Or should I say world champions Los Angeles Dodgers
i had an old fernando valenzuela shirt back from my LA days.....but that's about it. congrats on the HUGE series win!!!!! they've had it coming. nice to see them get over the hump.
Thank you body i just like your video i want to come to Thaïland to visit i am also Canadian ..like to know when it's better to visit??
I really hope to get there by late 2021. I had tickets and plans before covid hit.
i think that should be doable CP & P
any links to the STV visa Chris?
Thailand misses everyone, but the COVID situation is still very serious, please be compassionate
You were walking pass the Sermmitr tower Building, weren't you? where my friend's intalian restuarant is there Big Mama Tapas. I used to fall down to that drain canal next to the Big mama pizzaria 15 years ago. It seem that drain canal look more clean. ^__^
I am your FAN.
Have a good day.
haha......wow.....great eyes!
Busy time in the summer because of the Chinese school break? I would love to see how kids will handle the quarantine.
maybe it will be very short by then?
does this mean there will not be european and american tourism in 2021?
As i hear this.
The Thailand government doesn’t want European or American tourists.
At least not in near future.
Also the STV look okay, but the quarantine, will probably scare most.
To me. Really bad news. I’m sorry to say...
@@tfhmobil I'd be okay with staying in a hotel with plenty of great Thai food, a view of the city and proper WIFI for 14 days, planning my trips to hit the ground running. What I don't like is being tracked everywhere afterwards, neither via app nor electronic wristband.
Thai' people and gov. truly welcome western people not less than or more than Chinese. It's only concern to Covid pandemic situation at yours area country.
As long as this 1 Aussie = Me can come to Thailand in 2021, I will be happy.
I think there is a strong possibility now with covids numbers next to nothing in Australia.....
i demand teleport to Koh Chang!
🤣🤣🤣 We welcome Sir! Please come to Thailand ASAP.🇹🇭🙏❤️🍺👍
"Thailand tourism" is like saying "life in the cemetery"
You apparently have 4 unless are talking about me? But I’m doing elite dude and I’m in on the 10th. STV not available in the US yet. To my understanding it isn’t. And I’m coming in from Cambodia. Where I just got in here October 1st
wow.....that's crazy. nice one on the elite. that's the dream visa!!!
What about Australia and New Zealand?
Maybe after March 2012.....If cases remain low to zero - I think Thailand will open a travel bubble with both countries.
Hi Chris -could you please make a video about international schools (middle and high schools) in Koh Samui and Bangkok? Thank you!!
that's a good idea......what specifically? an overview of a few of them?
@@RetiredWorkingForYou Yes! That would be great!!!!!
Will UK tourists be allowed back into Thailand early next year do you think
Hello Chris , can you make a Thai beers comparaison with Sunsets? Maybe with CB media? Happy hour! Best 👍🍻😎
Weird how Australian and New Zealand don’t really get a mention considering they are safer than any country talked about 🤔
yeah, those should be 2 countries at the top of the list.....i agree.
Many Australians would love to holiday in Thailand but we are stranded by our governments outbound travel ban until at least December 17 with a 95% chance of another 3 month extension after that. So it doesn’t really matter if the Thai government wants us or not at the moment.
@@christianpatton9364 December is good I was thinking March with a few less hoops to jump through I have a partner and a house to return to over in Thailand so the sooner the better
China is the biggest market by a long way and easier to control if they travel in groups
Looking forward to hearing what the American had to go through to get the STV, covid test & all the other paper work he had to put together. Hopefully he can expain it so a 75 year old can understand it. Looked into it, but way above my pay grade.
Channual Kongsawat Thai office in DC told me no chance on STV application. They advised a long stay or join Thai Elite at $15,000.00
Hi.
Right now, I need to say in Thai " คุณมาเราดีใจ ตุณกลับไป เราคิดถึง" .......... คุณคิดถึงเราไหม, You come, we're glad you go back, we miss .......... Do you miss us?
Are people from the UK ok to enter Bangkok...if so do you have to quarantine...
Do you know when the airline will offer Covid testing prior to flight so you don’t have to do the 2 week quarantine?
27 super yachts, 33 cruisers want to visit Thailand
oh really?? wow.....i did not expect that!
In regards to the cruise ship thing, ny family has a yahht, and were genuinely considering going to Thailand on it lol
You like The Angels? That's so cool! I don't know any non-Aussies that do 😁
My Man ! Glad ya love the shirts
However, the Chinese will not help the bar-scene, as they never go to bars.
They just go to King Power.
Can an American in Panama get an ATV?
