    I'm planning to retire in 4 years and I have been watching videos for about a year. I've also been to these places several times in my youth. I have really narrowed my pick down to Thailand and the Phillipines. My heart is with the Philippines, but Thailand really checks all the boxes. Cost, Healthcare, food, housing, infrastructure, shopping. I also want to travel and having a condo where I could just pack a bag, walk to the train and be at the airport in no time is so attractive. Bangkok really makes it hard to pick with my heart.

    • @ProjectBangkok
      @ProjectBangkok  Рік тому +15

      Thailand ticked all the boxes for me too.. mainly for the infrastructure and pure 24/7 connivence that you get here in Bangkok. Im about a 5min Walk to the Red line that goes direct to the airport so im happy with that.. not that I go anywhere haha but its there when I need too :)

      I lived in Manila for eleven years. I am American. I bought a condo there. If you spend at least $55,000 to buy a condo you are then entitled to a permanent resident card! I didn’t know this until after I bought the condo. Some guys get married to a Filipina to then get this! But you don’t have to! Then I had a woman do it all for me. She knew the right contacts. Sure enough, I got what’s called an ICR card. Quota Visa. It also lets you open up a business if you want. Plus you get a special window at the airport. That only allows ICR card holders. Makes it easier to go through. So then you don’t have to worry about renewing your visitor visa every 1-3 months. No more of that. It’s great. The one good thing too about the Philippines is that most of them speak English. Easy to communicate. I like Thailand too but as a foreigner it’s easier to stay in the Philippines. Thailand has so many rules and regulations to follow. It can be insane.

    Thanks for the helpful info and good look around. I'm paying 26,000 for a large studio on Soi 4. No deposit or contract, so I like the freedom of that. I'd like a condo like yours, so I'm interested to know how long you had to commit to, and how much deposit you had to stump up? Looks great there for the street food and facilities too. I tried using FazWaz to find a condo - I made some offers to landlords, but they were ignored - probably because I wanted to do one month initially rather than 12 - need to make sure I like living there first. Ideally. Thanks!

      This is a condo block not a hotel. I can’t work out why anyone would think that the price would be the same for 1 month as it is for a whole year.. min term is down to a landlord and that would require some google searching and reaching out to agents who would then ask the landlord. You won’t get a contract less than 3 months though because it’s a waste of time for them. It would also cost more for just 3 months.. again I can’t stress enough this is not a hotel

    I looked at that place online, in my head I'd set it up almost exactly like you did for your desk/work space. The huge focus on couch/TV setups in these places drives me nuts. The overall layout was one of the more practical in my opinion, for the size. I did think the price was a bit high, but the listing I saw didn't do the facilities justice, and I hadn't noticed the location. Seems reasonable when put together like that. You aren't wrong about the airBnB side of things. Not having a ton of two week millionaires making a racket is worth a little extra too.

    Hi there. Great video and tour of the condo. Just returned form a few weeks in Vietnam, BK and Pattaya. Plan is to move to BK in December for at least three months to escape the British weather. Can you assist with some contact details for an agent that manages the rentals at your condo please. Apologies I’m not on any social media so cannot connect there. Happy to exchange WhatsApp though and or may be a quick FaceTime to learn a bit more about your living experience there? I visited a few condos when I was there, but some seemed basic and lacked facilities. Yours looks amazing and the facilities are great. Thanks Gareth

      I'm planning to spend more time in Thailand this year, and will this need to work remotely, rather than just be on holiday. My work involves being on the phone a lot, so I've always been too self-conscious (and respectful of others) to try to work from a communal co working space... hence why I'd like to find condos with more space (for a desk).
      I note that OP has a desk with dual screen PC setup in his apartment, so clearly he's managed to squeeze one in here. Just makes the place look less "homely".

      From what you say you need, just look for an extra bedroom that you can turn into an office. Space wise, you get what you pay for based on location and quality so you could easily find a bigger place than this for the same price if the location isn't so important.
