  • Follow me on my journey as I show you around where I now live in Pattaya, Thailand.
    Back in early 2022 I lost had no money, car, job, I was 30 years old, living at home with my mum. I made the decision to lock myself away and embark on a self-development journey, which lead me to becoming an Online Fitness Coach. It has been a tough journey but things are going well enough for me to vacate to Thailand and live in Pattaya, while I study the language.
    When I first thought of quitting the 9 to 5 and starting my own business online, I always had the vision of moving abroad. Working remotely in Thailand has always been a dream of mine, and now it's a reality.
    If you're looking to start a business online, look at what skills you currently have and if you can turn that into value for others. Before you know it, you may be moving to Thailand to work online 😉
    This is the first video of many I will be making so follow along with my journey and Subscribe! 🙏

      I’m not sure what you mean by the UK being totally finished honestly. Is it immigration? Cost of living? It often seems that when this phrase is throw out what it actually translates as is “I am not able to live in this place for various reasons, or dislike something about, so that means I will say that it’s “finished” instead of admitting that the issue is really with myself…sorry for being blunt, but that’s usually what I get out of it. I have lived in Thailand for years, but one thing I don't do is make comments on the state of my country failing as if that is the reason I don't live there. They also hold up Thailand as some beacon of freedom and everything the west isn't, when in reality there are some very real social problems here and in many many ways, a whole lot less freedoms than you get in your home countries...
      Plenty of people from all over the world want to come to settle in my country from everywhere (they want to go to the the UK too.) with this noted, I think its hard to really say things like "the west is failing"...no, it's more that it doesn't fit our lifestyles, and that is fine, but it doesn't mean anything else other than that. I also think that moving to a country like Thailand and expecting to just work online or remotely is a bad plan long term. You should really look into investing, opening a business in the country, that way you pay taxes and set yourself up for potential permanent residency. Working online, while maybe providing good income, isn't really best for long term planning.

      @@josephd4066 Back in 2003, when I was 29 years old, I sold my condo in San Francisco. The profit gave me just over $200k USD to move to Thailand. At that time the exchange rate was around 1 USD = 40 BHT, so about $8mil BHT at that time. I immediately paid cash for two things, a house and a car. My wife is Thai, we have been married for over 20 years and have 2 kids together. I met her in 2001 at Stanford University. Over the years we have owned multiple businesses and properties together. I am 49 now and she is 41 now. Still going strong, she has a UA-cam channel with over 120,000 subscribers and earns money that way. I work in consulting (100% online) and continue to earn money that way.

    Hey Bro, just subbed. Looking forward to your content. I have fallen in love with Thailand. 3 trips in 18 months. My first being Phuket Sandbox January 2022 the moment our boarders opened - Back again for my 40th in August 2022 - and 3rd trip June/July this year. Since coming back I know now I don’t want another “Holiday” in Thailand…. I want to move there! I have gone down the rabbit hole of looking for work online, also approached my employer about doing my call centre job over there. All to no avail. I will keep looking, and doing as you suggest of working on myself! Looking forward to your content moving forward! Cheers!

  • @jared2232
    @jared2232 10 місяців тому

    Haha too funny bro. Im a bald/fit/tatted 30y/o as well. I traveled for two years through asia back in my early 20s. I'd kill to be there full time. I'm from Canada and things are definitely looking grim for our generation and younger!
    I got lucky and bought a house before everything went insane. If I sold everything I'd probably have around 200k. I also have a job where im at 100k CAD a year with lots of perks.
    I could get by in Thailand for some years off just savings but I wouldn't want to potentially have to return one day with nothing and start from scratch. The ideal situation for me would be to somehow set up a passive income before leaving so I can enjoy my time over there and not worry about work. I'm not a high maintenance person so it wouldn't need to be anything too crazy! Not much of a computer guy so the task of doing everything online seems quite large.
    Enjoy your time brother. Power move !

    • @TravelGlitch

    I partied 20 years until 38, then I rebuild my life, now I am 47 and I will once again leave everything behind and build a new life in Bangkok, rather start to build it there and see where it leads me.
    I don't care anymore.
    Safety is just a feeling, everything in life comes with risks and nothing is sure, just that I am going to die one day. I am not going to spend the rest of my life waiting for that day and when it comes, I will be excited to see the train running in front of my eyes, with all those memories of a life that everybody else just dreams about. I will have met so many interesting people, learned new languages, seen the world and spend my time finding something like a meaning in all of this.
    It doesn't matter how old you are. It's just your head that makes it harder everyday to change something. Everything else is just bullshit that other people made up about what a "successful" life is supposed to look like.
    It's just you making a decision and that's it.

BUT - there's really no perspective in Europe anymore, and the quality of life in SE Asia is just too good, rooftop pools and all. Am still scared about whether I'll be able to make enough money remotely, but surely things will fall into place. Good luck to you man, keep it up!

    Congrats on working on yourself and finding yourself in Thailand. Man I've had a job since I was 17 and I'm 41 now. Have grinded it out at the same company making 6 figures for the past 10+ years but was never really happy. I went to Thailand for a few days because my little brother was on a asia singing tour with his band and absolutely fell in love with everything in Thailand. These types of videos plus my trip made me really want to leave everything behind and just live simpler for sure. Easy sub and excited to see your journey and maybe be in Thailand in the near future. If you could talk about how to stay there long term that would be good content. Like how to buy a condo, renting, how to extend your visa if you are not retired, etc. I would also love to know how the gyms are there too. I work out quite often as well and definitely would pay a premium for a nice gym. Maybe you can be the Jessie James West of Thailand hahaha. Anyways glad I came across your channel!

      Living with your parents at home is not nice at 30 years old, for me anyway.

    I didn't even sell my stuff. I came here like one of those immigrant stories, with xxx baht to my name, and the clothes on my back. Then as if it was destined to be, things worked themselves out. Came here in my early 30s, still here in my later 30s. Everything I have is here in TH. Business, wife, condo, house... mom who immigrated here for retirement, and a old life left behind, we gave away most of the stuff we owned, to make sure we didn't have to stay there any longer than we needed.
