    Hey Thai Girl Gift and Foreigner Joe and your new friends and Kara, a very nice video my friend. It's nice to see a little community of foreigners that can mingle among themselves and the wonderful Thai people in the area. It was good to see Kara again.

    Love that area and getting to see the scenery, the food and the day to day. We spent five weeks there in late Jan. till the end of Feb. Got to check out our land that we purchased near the train station. Lucky for us it turned out to be a good fit. We love the area. Looking forward to transitioning over when the time is right!

    I always enjoy watching another Thai Girl Gift and Foreigner Joe video since it is a regular down-to-Earth easy and fun watch you both share with us. It's nice to see you enjoying your neighbors conversations and goings-on, and nice to see you meeting any new expats in your beautiful beach side friendly fishing village that everyone's getting settled into. Was good to see Kara doing well, and mention of Mike and Niccole's new walking partners who will hopefully keep them motivated to join them on their 5 km early morning walks, too. I've seen videos of Black Betty's new rides and hope Mick and Mary will share their electric scooter stories as well, always good to get/see info from expats in your area, hopefully I'll be one too, depending upon what area(s) I choose to go to for my own near future retirement (hopefully within the 6-month to one year time limit I'm shooting for) in one of the SE Asia countries like Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam or Laos. Will visit each and spend enough time in each to decide which one or two I settle in - it may be 2 so I have a choice where to spend my time. At this stage, I honestly don't want to be limited to simply stay in just 1 place/country. Stay Healthy, Happy and Safe, my friends.

    A lot of people are retiring in Thailand because it is just too expensive to live in the West. Rent for a 1 bedroom condo in a big city is 2000usd per month. Rent is just a few hundred usd in Thailand and it comes with gym and infinity pool. Thai foods are cheap, delicious and you dont really need to cook at all.

    Hi Joe, this is not even a criticism, but just a reminder you are likely already aware of - I know you ask people how much everything costs to inform your viewers about the cost of living in Thailand, but some people are uncomfortable talking about their finances and I'm not sure Klaus was loving it. Just an FYI to maybe confirm off air with people before inquiring. Not everyone is an open book. Take care. Thanks as always. Peace.

      No disrespect, but probably not a good idea to make assumptions in the comment section of our videos. Obviously, you have never been in one of our videos, therefore you know nothing about what goes on behind the seems, including people’s approval the edits etc. Have a nice day.

    • @marygerber2128
      @marygerber2128 Рік тому +3

      FYI - I can vouch for the fact that Joe always checks what we are and are not comfortable in sharing. He does a terrific job and only asks those questions to help those contemplating the move figure out what they will need to survive and thrive here. All of the vloggers we have met bend over backwards to edit out anything we don't want answered on camera. A lot goes on behind what you see and the finished product is always only what we all want shared. 🙂
