Dana was my college roommate. It's so awesome to see what he's been up to since we first met in English class sophomore year. Really proud of the direction his life has taken.
Hey, Dana! I heard you said your electricity bill goes up to 10,000THB/month because of the A/C. I can see that you have a very old A/C unit in your working area. My reaction was 'Oh, WOW...I'm pretty sure if you get a new A/C installed it would have saved you at least half of the monthly electricity cost and easily paid for itself in less than a year.' You see, I work at home these days and I have my 2017-generation A/C's on 24-7. I never have to pay more than 4,000THB/month for electricity even in the hottest months. That's from a 30,000BTU A/C in 50+ sq.m. living space during the day and an 18,000BTU A/C in 30+ sq.m. bedroom at night. I live in a rather well-insulated home in Bangkok, though. If you plan to rent this house for over a year, I'd highly recommend replacing all your A/C's with wall-type inverter units from leading brands like Mitsubishi Electric or Daikin. A/C's get more and more energy efficient every year as the government's regulations get tighter and tighter. It really makes a big difference to replace your old A/C's. As for what size of A/C you need for your room, just multiply the area of the room (in sq.m.) by a factor of 700. For example, a 30 sq.m. room should be fine with 30 x 700 = 21,000 BTU A/C unit. Inverter type A/C from top brands usually go above their advertised BTU rating for a while when you turn it on to cool the room down faster, so you don't need to worry about paying extra money for a bigger A/C unit (...unless it's for a room full of people getting direct sunlight all day long). I hope this helps and if you end up saving some money from this, it could go toward even more cool content on your channel. Cheers!! Poom
@@611moop Thanks for the info Poom, yes the aircon is very old for the downstairs. though the upstairs ones are new. With your formula, I would need a 105,000 BTS aircon for my 150sq/m downstairs. I think the other issue I have with my AirCon is that the condenser units are located on the front of the house and in direct sunlight all day long. :-)
@@IdeaStudioBKK For large spaces like an entire floor, you don’t really have to match the BTU from the formula because you don’t need every inch of space to be at the same temperature. For example, you’re not spending much time in your bathroom and kitchen and you’d be fine with 1-2c higher, you can just subtract the space from your calculation. Also, in your case it might be better to go with 3 A/C (24,000-30,000BTU each) to cover the whole space. Smaller units come with higher efficiency. And you have the option of turning off the one on the other side of the room where nobody’s working. This would lower your electricity cost by a lot. Your breakeven point might be in 1-2 years. Current generation A/C also work a lot more efficiently when the outdoor unit is exposed to direct sunlight in extreme heat of the summer. But if you can block the sun from your current outdoor unit, you might already see some positive results without much investment.
Great interview and tour, Chris! Please do more of these. Learning about the fun and interesting people (locals, expats, visitors, whoever else) in your world is part of what makes your channel stand out. Cheers!
Chris, you keep coming up with new angles and fresh content. Loved this, bro. Not a party animal anymore and this was inspiring to know there might be a place in Bangkok for me.
Really enjoyed this! Thanks for introducing us to Dana, seems like a great guy. My wife's place in San Sai Chiang Mai is very similar to Dana's place and you get the full flavor of Thai life. Huge thumbs up Chris👍
I'm stoked man! Only 4 or 5 of your videos and I'm moving to Thailand . I lived In Caracas Venezuela, which was really nice before the big flop. Thailand is just amazing. My sell was the point of how nice the people are; I'm so ready for nice! Three more years and I'm retired!!! Great work, thanks
Cannot agree more.. We all want to have a small business interest going on, even if we are retired. We cannot sit all day in the bars and restaurants, so this was really great Vlog. More please...
Wow, Chris, this is exactly what I needed today. I miss living in the everyday parts of Thailand. As soon as lockdown is over, I'm moving back to Bangkok.
I rented a 3.5 story chop house in Pathumthani for 15,000 baht per month. I used it for a school. 3 bathrooms. Nice living for being the only farang on the block. Lived in the area since 2009.
Love this type of video Chris. Another side of Bangkok life and an alternative Expat lifestyle. It's also great to meet some creative types. More of this, please.
Wow, fab film Chris. Great to see this sort of video, very refreshing. It was great to meet Dana too. What an inspirational guy. Such great value renting houses once you leave the central area of Bangkok. Last year I stayed with a Thai family in the village of Lam Luk Ka in the district of Pathun Thani. The people were so friendly, we would walk around the area everyone would speak to me, it was fab. I didn't see any other Farang on the streets or in the markets, I do like to integrate into, 'Real' Thai life. Best wishes from me here. Keep up the great work.
What an inspiration he is! Nothing worthwhile is ever easy and its a choice like what you said. Thank you for sharing Dana's story, much appreciated Chris 😊
I always follow your channel. Because I have improved my English by listening to you speaking and your thai subtitles. It's amazing. I wish you happiness in Thailand.
Thanks for the great video! The rental is so much more affordable just a few km out of city center. That was a big house which is probably too big for some people, wonder if smaller houses will be even cheaper. The neighbourhood looks really nice and I can relate to what Dana said, while Thai people are generally nice, there is still some difference. Those you meet in the city or tourist areas are there to make money, while those you meet in the suburbs are residents living in that locality, they are your neighbours, they tend to be nicer and honest.
I’m “reTHAIring” to Thailand later this year. Jomtien for at least a year, but may migrate to Phuket eventually because I love to sail. Chris, I’ve been lurking your channel and just subscribed. I’ve come to appreciate the work you do very much since I’m actively condo/house shopping now. But I want to tell you, after watching this video of you and your friend, I find myself thinking “now THESE are the kind of friends I want to make there. Smart, kind, and happy. I know there’s plenty to DO, but my retirement manta is, “in Thailand, who do you want to BE?”. And I want to be, well, like you guys. Free. Happy.
this looks like subdivisions in the Philippines, but Bangkok is cleaner in this perspective and more managed, nevertheless thais and filipinos friends 🇵🇭🤝🇹🇭
Absolutely loved this and rewatched with my wife, yes Bangkok the most vibrant city and lifestyle. Pity about the heat. There is something for everyone .
Greatest city in the world! The heat is a bit much... you get used to it... never, but you do learn to tolerate it and deal with it after a while. ;-) Better than Cleveland winters... I'll say that.
How awesome is this. I, very briefly, worked with Dana at Cox Communications in Parma, Ohio. Dana worked in the HeadEnd. Again, our encounters were very brief and I doubt he would remember me. The next thing I heard was that he had gone to Thailand and wasn't coming back and this was about 8 years ago. Good for him. I was scheduled to travel there but of course "The Situation" occurred, so now I'm just sitting and working from home and waiting for this nightmare to end. Happy to see he's doing well.
Hey Ron, I have a video on my channel that explains why I quit my engineer job at Cox. When you eventually make it here after "the situation" let me know when you are in Bangkok and we can meet up.
Very cool and interesting video. I also live in the suburbs of Bangkok (Bang Kapi) and rent a house. I've got 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 2 stories, front, back, and side yards in a very quiet gated community (mu baan) with security. I also pay 16,000 baht/month. No songtows here though, but there are a couple motorcycle taxis just outside the security gate. It costs more than my previous 9000 baht/mo. 1 bedroom condo, but the quality of life is soooooooo much better. As I type this, the only thing I can hear outside are the birds and a squirrel chirping, probably at my cat. Anyways, keep up the great work!
Great videos, its nice to see and hear how others have made it in Thailand....informational for those wanting to move to Thailand like myself and what to expect
What a delightful working couple.....so busy working all the time! Actually their home is an office. Thank you so much for taking us through your home\office. The wife is a beautiful embroider!! WOW! I want some lessons. :)
Another great informative video! Good information for my plan to 'Retire and work for no-one!' So much cheaper to be living in Bangkok, compared to the high prices of living in Sydney.
What an interesting guy.......I don't think I saw Dana not smiling through out the whole video....he obviously enjoys life and life in Bangkok. Thanks for keeping up the good content Chris, those sub numbers just keep clicking over upwards everyday.
Great video. If you want to live in Bangkok suburbia you really need to have at least a very basic level of Thai language to get by. It’s also a great way to force yourself to learn the language out of necessity.
Good to see people that have figured out how things work. For the same area you easily have to pay 20-30 000 Bath a month in Sukhumvit you can get for 5 000 Bath in the outskirt if you get your Thai wife or friends do the talking. Want to see more of this kind of videos!
Always great to see someone living their dream. Another great content to showcase the bangkok lesser people have seen or heard of, and giving an alternative consideration to those keen on relocating.
I am Thai and this is what I love to see two farangs standing on the street in the suburbs or suburban area with the temple gate background. It is true that most of Thai people see and think that farangs in the suburbs are better than the general who walk in the city or in some tourist attractions because in their opinions you come here for work or might be an entrepreneur. They see that you are diligent and visit the place not only for spending getting something and. I will tell you that Thailand's suburb's and countryside are much more interesting in many ways.
@@optimus8740 Yes, I'm dana! :-) been living in Thailand 8 years and by far BangChak is my favorite location, we really love our place and our life here. :-)
@@RetiredWorkingForYou I can’t wait to get back out there I retired earlier this year and can’t really enjoy my retirement and I can’t really go to a retirement community they won’t allow me being retired under 30 is hard
