@Vlogging.on.a.donkey I am living the dream, and I love it . I hope you will be here soon . I did see the video you made of me, and it is funny . Stay safe, thank you for your support 😊🇹🇭🙏
You’ve got a good set up there Jay nice condo local to all the shops and beach . Thanks for the info on monthly costs . When you do the full month budget will you include what roughly you spend going out like beers and restaurants and what about insurance ? That would be good to know . Great vlog and jay you look so relaxed now mate you’ve settled down in one place 🍻
@jimmyboysmovies1972 Hi Jimmy, and thank you so much for your kind messages. Yes, I need to share all of my expenses about covering my life right now . Thank you so much for your support and helping me with my youtube channel. I am grateful and really appreciate this from you, jimmy . Thank you for 😊🇹🇭🙏
You are welcome. I visited Thailand 2 times for a holiday in 2021 . The first 3 days I fell in love with thailand and could never stop thinking about this beautiful country. I hope to you soon . Thank you 🇹🇭😊🙏
Nice little tip, Jay when it’s hot roll up a small towel damp it down and some cool water wear it round your neck and you can wipe your face when you get too much sweat in your eyes try you’ll be surprised 👍 maybe bump into November
Nice video, I learned over the years to buy breakfast food and eat that at home, eat out for lunch and dinner, however staying dry is incredibly difficult lots of mates having beers is far too tempting. Unfortunately Health insurance is required or your mates or family will be forced to help you if you end up in hospital, get health insurance ASAP. I budget for 60-90kTH per month.
You have a really good budget. I have got health insurance I did this before I come to thailand with staysure . A lot people use this one very good . You are right about going out for a beer . You can enjoy yourself to much 😁😁 Thank you for sharing 🇹🇭🙏😊
@@jay.b.Stay Sure is travel insurance, not Health Insurance. Big difference....If your planning on being out of UK for more than 6 months then travel insurance is no good. You lose NHS rights after 6 months away
@@AG-so4gldo you really think that an NHS hospital would turn him away,if he spent more than 6 months out of the country,I don't.The NHS treats illegal immigrants that come over on boats if they need treatment.
November 1st high season starts , Loy Krathong festival will be starting soon all over Thailand, that’s end of rainy season festival, beginning of dry season( peak tourism), arriving Xmas day can’t bloody wait , looking good now Jay settling down🙏👍
Money is important, but after a life spent working, happiness with the time you have left is the most important. I hope you are truley enjoying your life!
I love your message because this is the reason why I am doing this now . Being happy every day is the best feeling in the world 🌎. Thank you so much for understanding me .🇹🇭😊🙏
Living the life . I’d be joining you soon . Would love some advice on how to set up my UA-cam channel when I get out there next year . Keep up the good work mate 👍🏿
I'm not mad on makro as its mostly based on bulk buying, and you have to get a visitor id when you enter, unless it's changed, i really like big c its a nicer expirience and still good value plus they have a nectar like club card thing, plus after 6pm alot of yellow stickered discounted items,. Thai laundry if a good one leaves clothes smelling great,.Your right about the cost of living in uk v thailand, uk's bleeding us dry to exist not live, i cant wait to get back to TH and close the door on the uk permanently .cheers.
There are markets that are cheaper, and I will share this with you guys . They didn't ask me for I'd. I had no choice. find a way to earn more money or leave and start again. I decided to start again , hence the way I called my channel travel with Jay New Life. I had no quality of life in the uk . Made me feel like only working to live, not live to work . Thank you for you message 😊🇹🇭🙏
@chrisdavies5395 ooo really. I did notice on my electricity bill 2 months before I move in , no one rent it the condo . I think they may of changed me for 3 months
@ water is charged by how much you use, the first month I used 2 units making it 80 baht plus 20 baht for condo charge, sorry I got my 2nd bill slightly wrong I used 3 unit’s of water 120 baht and 20 baht condo charge. I’ve already said don’t compare Thailand prices to UK prices, water is biased by how much you use. Sorry but you are to easily pleased and don’t query anything, as you have a Thai lady living with you she should know this and be helping you, why has she not clocked this, she is either with you or doesn’t really care, this is what you have to ask yourself. Just for reference I had a friend stay with me and the aircon didn’t work correctly in the bedroom next morning she spoke to the agent and told her, the same day someone came out and sorted it, no charge to me but big expense to the owner as the coil leaked and didn’t work, she was looking after me.
@chrisdavies5395 I am starting to understand she doesn't care about me. Only money but I am still in control my financial situation. Thank you for your help chris. Stay safe my freind 🇹🇭🙏😊
That depends on if you are not retired. You can live on £1000 pounds a month but depending on your lifestyles. You can live the dream on £1,500 pounds per month or live like a king on £2000 + per month . You have to experience living here for at least 1 month, then you will understand how you want to live your life . Vietnam is even cheaper. Thank you 🇹🇭😊🙏
I go to Rantanakorn fresh wholesale market, on Thepprasit Road, the place is huge, even bigger than Makros, I go at least once a week, get all my fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and meat, it’s by far the cheapest imo! My monthly budget is on average 50,000baht/£1,143 a month! Including having a Thai girlfriend 😊. A lot of my time is playing sports like badminton, pickleball and beach paddle, great fun, good for social life and keeping fit!
@roygoad2870 I will try and remember this market you go too , sounds great . I like the way you are living, you sound very happy with your lifestyle. Thank you for sharing this . Thank you for watching 🇹🇭🙏😊
Why do these expat monthly videos always last 15-20 minutes? You guys can't just write down your budget on a sheet of paper that'd take 30 seconds to read?
Hi mate your getting about to the little market at rompo I always buy snacks there in the morning I don't think that motor 🛵 moves never seen any one ride it keep up the great videos mate
@davidingram9587 Hi David, Yes, I am trying to make my videos more watchable . I am getting better. I hope 😁😁😁 . So many places to visit and see . Thank you david 🇹🇭🙏😊
My rent and bills per month. Rent £227 , water £13.34p ,Internet £13.68p , electricity £14. 87p. Food can be between £100 to £150 per month . Depending on your lifestyle. Eating out is very cheap as well.🇹🇭😊🙏

Whats the budget you hope to stay in each month, do you plan on being early retired for the next 20 years +?
£1000 pounds per month but £1.500 pounds . Can give you a really good and happy life . Thank you 🇹🇭😊🙏

@Vlogging.on.a.donkey is really good, only a 5-minute walk to jomtien Beach.
The water bill is ridiculous. I have had 2 water bills now 1st 100 baht 2nd 120 baht. And we are probably using the same amount of water.

You never mentioned visa or health insurance. Both are quite expensive and vital. These would add £150 per month minimum. The rest sounds about right
