    I’ve done a lot of traveling in my life…. I’m 65 now… and I’m happy to call Thailand my home…it’s a wonderful thing to know where you belong on this planet… many people never get the chance to find where there soul calls home….. welcome home… I’ve enjoyed watching your travels…. I got to see some places I’ve been in the past and see how they have changed……I think I’m going to hop on my touring bike and take a holiday to kanchanabury… again…. Welcome home brother….

    Thanks for your videos Wayne. Im looking to retire to Thailand next year . My wife owns her own home about two hours south of Chiangmai . I have been visiting Chiangmai regularly for about 15 yrs now and it is my favourite city in the world. We will probably pick up a condo in Chiangmai and split our time between the two.
    Your real estate videos have been very helpful.
    I look forward to buying you a beer some day.

    Laughed when I saw the bike shop! Bought my first bike in Thailand there in 2005 (lived in CM from 2003-2012). Rode that bike through Laos and Australia! Old bloke (76) who owned the shop used to ride up to Pai in a day! Don't know if he's still kicking.

    The Digital Nomad Visa is good for 180 days for those 20+ years old. The Visa is good for 5 years and one of those years allows for an extension for another 180 days. Plus, it covers a legal spouse and children under 20 y/o for the same price. Price is 10,000 THB for the whole 5 years. You need to prove you have access to 500,000 THB. I don’t think the money must reside in a Thai bank.

    Finally caught up on viewing your videos after a respite with a family R&R break. Don't understand the logic of the visa regulations. Why not have visitors or expats stay in country spending their money, instead of going outside the country to spend it elsewhere? I don't think it hurts your base when take side trips to other countries; just building a broader multi-country base with a variety of travel adventures.

      Nice one Walt. Yes, the new visas don't look as great as when they first got announced a couple days back. Nothing is set in stone yet though, so lets wait and see. I think you need to keep being a multi traveller though. Cheers.

    The best world Travel Vlogger is Harold Baldr by a long shot, helps if u have 2.4mill subs. Wayne yours is good because you stop and talk to Locals and add in some "Got to See Spots/Business's" general tips and out of the way places etc etc.

      @@MyJourneySolo Anyone can start a Ecommerce shop online. Anyone can teach online, anyone can start graphic design online, anyone can start any business online. Anyone can be a Digital Nomad. That's the whole point of this visa In my eyes, so Thailand can earn a bit from it. Anyone can be a Digital Nomad. But we shall see the rules in the coming days. I would say some sort of test and financial income will need to be shown. £10,000 for the year so it seems.
