I have just discovered your channel and it's brilliant! I am currently in Hua Hin until end of January... retired at 55yrs and loving it!! Happy travels to you!
Some birds aren’t meant to be caged, their feathers are just too bright. That’s me! I love myself too much to abandon myself and subject myself to the old broken US values. There’s a healthier, happier, invigorating way. SE Asian slow traveler. My best life based on a contract with reality and clarity 🙏🏼
I arrive in Hua Hin on Friday from New Zealand and greatly appreciate your stories/insights and todays insights were so timely and profound. Go well and maybe our paths will cross 🙏
Aloha my friend, spot on about value ourselves in travel and being happy to be free to explore on your on time, and taking back agency. Another wonderful day in Hua Hin now that is living. That looks fun riding the happy horse. Love the night market and lots of great foods. What a good life Hua Hin. Mahalo
i'm going to spend 3 months in Hua Hin, i needed a change in my life and i decided to just leave frozen Canada to find something, i'm not sure yet what i will discover. If you are still there, let's have a beer.
Hi Chris we love your videos, especially when its about Hua Hin. Since were retiring there next year. Learning a lot from you. Cant wait to start our freedom
Nice Video! I am retiring at the end of this year and starting my travels in Southeast Asia. I cannot wait to enjoy the food and the views. Thank you for showing that the real American dream is possible. 👍🏼
Amazing video like always. Thailand is one of the most travel friendly country. Plenty to do. When in thailand I can't stay home a minute. In other countries don't feel like going anywhere. When I see your videos, old memories engulf the mind
Doings things I want to do, not the things I have to do, that's the key. What a phrase , it really inspired me to make a change. Thank you, have a nice day.
Great video. Escaped the matrix of the US almost seven yrars ago. Now happily living in Thailand with a great Thai partner. Life is great!! Havent missed the US for a moment.
@RetireandGo you too. I pass my videos on to retired friends trapped in the matrix of the US. One trying to figure out how to get out. Gonna get worse there soon.
I've been enjoying your channel the combination of day to day life and your thoughts about life etc. I only found you recently because of hua hin and have watched them all as Im planning on looking at having a base there to travel from. I have been there twice by last time was 2016. I have done the full time travel lifestyle living out of a suitcase but now am ready to have a base... .. That penang chicken looked sooooo good 😋 thats one of my favourite thai dishes.
Inspirational and encouraging! Every time I watch your videos, I feel motivated to move there... one of these days, we'll have lunch together over there, buddy! lol Keep' em coming! Cheers!
Hi Chris, first time watching your videos. It was good to see some content about Thailand that didn't involve getting drunk and chasing bar girls for once. I also had a similar outlook as yours when I was in Hua Hin for the first time. Beautiful laid back smaller city with really nice people just living their lives. Looking forward to one day retiring in that area when the money allows it. You may have been there already but if you get a chance have a look at Wing 5 Airforce base and Ao Manao beach . Totally would be up your alley I am sure. Keep up the good work.
I love all your videos are fantastic & this one is one of the best! I even bought keen sandals & shoes! they are incredible! Thank you so much for all your great information and amazing adventures
Wow you are a Paniolo! Check out the botanical gardens its one of the biggest in the world and has a car collection. The Pizza at the Chang market for 100 Bhat with 70 Bhat big beers is a can't miss.
"Ill take this".. over pointless office meetings and working with people I would prefer not to be around..I am there now, the thought of going back to an office makes me sick, I'm done with corporate nonsense, time for planning the rest of my life in peace with less.
Jomtien falls b/n the other 2 lifestyle-wise, but is an easy ride to crazy fun Pattaya. Hua Hin has small "Pattaya light" night areas but is more serene. ALL are inexpensive and modern. Hua Hin is a longer ride to other cities like Bkk etc.
Chris, I'm curious how you balance spending time overseas and leaving kids, family and friends behind. I'd love to travel soon, but also don't want to leave my kids. I'd feel too guilty about leaving
Great video. Question for you - do tuk tuk charge per passenger? If you show $3 ride but I have someone with me, do you find it is $6 or is it per trip maybe with some limit on people so not 10 friends for one fare cost?
a life spent entirely on seeking others' respect/fear/envy/awe of you (through money/fancy cars/mcmansions/luxury vacations/expensive worthless grown-up toys).....is a life WASTED. Most everyone learns that lesson too late--when there's no going back and redo.
You can never ever disconnect from the “matrix” as you call it unfortunately. You still do your tax returns every year and let your government know exactly where you are and what money you have and taxes you may or may not owe! Everyone is connected to the matrix from the day you are born and even in death you still owe taxes. Good video mate.
I ❤ your videos! I miss Thailand! I wish I could go back! But the last time I was in Thailand I got arrested for four months! I was drunk in Bangkok, and I gave some little girl who was begging for money a couple of dollars, later that night her mother approached me in one of the dance clubs and demanded fifty dollars from me or she was going to the Police! I told her that I didn't do nothing to her daughter, but she kept threatening me that if I didn't pay her fifty dollars the Police would arrest me! I told that skank to "F-off"! Less thirty minutes later I was beaten and sodomized by the Police and spent almost four months in jail, until my ex-wife finally came to Thailand to pay my bail. So, that kind of ruined it for me!😢
@RetireandGo It was the worst experience of my life! Chris please be careful! Don't give money to any beggars, especially children! Also carry extra cash to bribe the cops!
The beginning of wisdom is accepting Jesus Christ into your life and then building things around that ! Money will never bring happiness and true peace that only comes form Jesus destiny ! Hallelujah 😊🙏
I have seen you eating in many videos. I feel a little annoyed. Why don't you put a plate of rice under your food? I want you to observe Thai people's eating more.
Its such a great epiphany when we start valuing people and saving money instead of ego and spending money. Couldn't agree more Chris.
Good point
Save money
Travel
Great and inspiring words! Very reflective and motivating to start my early retirement travel asap! Keep doing what you're doing. Super helpful!
This is great to read
It’s my mission to inspire you in the spirit of bodhisattva

I totally agree!
Yes!
When you do that, it will be a great day!

You absolutely should :-)
Many of the things you talk about reminds me of the teachings of the buddha. Great man. That one.

I love horses, that looks like so much fun.
It’s a nice morning ride :-)
How much is horse ride?
@ it’s about 6 dollars
Appreciate this one. Safe travels. Mahalo.
Thank you so much
Great video and topic. Love Hua Hin and am here visiting and looking at it as a long term base in Thailand!
Nice! It’s a good destination
Thanks for another great video Thailand is awsome and you inspire us with the goodness you show us of Siam😊
You are most welcome!

I’m excited for you
I like to snowboard in Canada but yes living through a winter is another story

This is great to read
Always good vibes. More power to you sir. I'll be doing the same as soon as my daughter graduate from college.
You are doing things right
Outstanding plan
Always the best content. Cheers 🙏
Very kind
Thank you :-)
I could be mistaken but you seem to eat Thai style by combining different flavors onto your spoon. You’re nearly a native now. lol
Yes true haha! I need to be careful with the red pepper
Thats what its about enjoying life.
I totally agree
the food looked awesome.......where would you recommend to stay in HH? Great vlog buddy
So true, you can be happy from within.
I agree with you :-)
What a beautiful horse. I'm happy to see he looks healthy and well cared for. Another great video!
Oh yes true they look great
Nice Video! I am retiring at the end of this year and starting my travels in Southeast Asia. I cannot wait to enjoy the food and the views. Thank you for showing that the real American dream is possible. 👍🏼
Absolutely
You are most welcome
The American dream often lies outside of America.
Been here, very beautiful place.
Been to Alba Italy. Beautiful too.
Oh my that sounds great

“Master of concealment” 🐱 😂
Haha yes
Once again, it's a great video. My wife and I are working on letting go. Want to live a simple stress free lige
Oh nice, check out Thailand

Hua Hin is a good base to choose!
I've ridden many elephants. But never a horse on the beach. I will try that next!
For sure !
A peaceful day
You look so comfortable on a horse.
Thank you! It’s been a while haha
All so true
:-)
Have a great week

Yeah, I try to not show too much party stuff haha
I love all your videos are fantastic & this one is one of the best!
I even bought keen sandals & shoes! they are incredible! Thank you so much for all your great information and amazing adventures
This is wonderful
They are top quality
Thank you kindly !
Have to say this is your best, love the rants, do you write a script or just go, great work PEACE!!!
@ thank you kindly
It’s 50 percent written down
Haha
I love your videos!
Thank you kindly
Always listen to a man on horseback!
Haha nice :-)
Wow you are a Paniolo! Check out the botanical gardens its one of the biggest in the world and has a car collection. The Pizza at the Chang market for 100 Bhat with 70 Bhat big beers is a can't miss.
Yes true haha
Thank you for these suggestions
Great video, It's hard to let go of the west but I'm ready to do it in 2025, started the process of getting rid of my things.
You are planning and preparing!
Nice
Agree, it is so hard to let go though. Damn.
Truth
"Freedom is the power to choose our own chains" - Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Nice! I like this
Those river prawns are huge and pricey, also tastier than the spiny lobster.
I just finished two of those grilled this evening in Pattaya.
Yum! So good with butter
Thai food looks yummy 😋
I agree
So good
"Ill take this".. over pointless office meetings and working with people I would prefer not to be around..I am there now, the thought of going back to an office makes me sick, I'm done with corporate nonsense, time for planning the rest of my life in peace with less.
Absolutely
I’m right with you on this
Is Hua Hin on your future location rotation?
We will have to see
Perhaps
Chris, how does Hua Hin compare to Jomtien-Pattaya?
Pattaya is more my speed but Hua hin is a nice break
Jomtien falls b/n the other 2 lifestyle-wise, but is an easy ride to crazy fun Pattaya. Hua Hin has small "Pattaya light" night areas but is more serene. ALL are inexpensive and modern. Hua Hin is a longer ride to other cities like Bkk etc.
Well done. Is Hua Hin life a bit more baht than Pattaya life?
I think the same
Chris, I'm curious how you balance spending time overseas and leaving kids, family and friends behind. I'd love to travel soon, but also don't want to leave my kids. I'd feel too guilty about leaving
I totally understand
I go back for holidays
Next week videos up for that
If they are grown adults, let them go. Your shared stories with them will probably bring you closer over time.
Great video. Question for you - do tuk tuk charge per passenger? If you show $3 ride but I have someone with me, do you find it is $6 or is it per trip maybe with some limit on people so not 10 friends for one fare cost?
Hmmm about 3 dollars no matter what
Look at how much I can spend to know what time it is...ha ha... that's fucken prescous 😀
Haha yes :-)
Do you edit on iphone?
Mostly yes but laptop as well
Life.
Yes :-)
Horse 🐎 needs a diaper.
Don't get those big head prawns. I like the smaller ones better.😂
Oh really? The smaller ones , I try them
a life spent entirely on seeking others' respect/fear/envy/awe of you (through money/fancy cars/mcmansions/luxury vacations/expensive worthless grown-up toys).....is a life WASTED. Most everyone learns that lesson too late--when there's no going back and redo.
I loved this comment
Getting addicted to Thai food
I agree haha
A lot cheaper than Palm Beach or Miami Florida. 😂
Yes true haha

The matrix always gets us ! Haha

That sucks, I would never go to Thailand if that happened to me.
is it serious?
Dang what a wild experience
@RetireandGo It was the worst experience of my life! Chris please be careful! Don't give money to any beggars, especially children! Also carry extra cash to bribe the cops!
Things you owned, things you buy in the West are made in China or Mexico. 😂😂😂 Which you can find those in Thailand for a quarter of the price. 😂😂😂
True I agree!
There are great prices here
The beginning of wisdom is accepting Jesus Christ into your life and then building things around that ! Money will never bring happiness and true peace that only comes form Jesus destiny ! Hallelujah 😊🙏
Blessings to you !
I have seen you eating in many videos. I feel a little annoyed. Why don't you put a plate of rice under your food? I want you to observe Thai people's eating more.
Low carb
Keep
Off the weight haha
I love good food as I travel
Chris it will interesting when you are finished staying there what place you like better Patayya or Hua His unless you know the answer now?
Pattaya is more My speed but Hua Hin is really nice
@@RetireandGo I agree
