Don't go bro. Stay there Keis and don't leave. You will be glad you did. For Visa and Taxes just consult with reputable well established Thai professional who can help you
I just moved to Thong Lor area. For me it's a perfect balance, but a little pricey. I tried living in the Nana/Asoke area but it became too intense for me.. you need to find the neighborhood that fits you, there's so many options for every lifestyle.
Oh my God you saw my question! Thank you for answering it! I am so glad you are diversifying your income! I believe tough times are coming. I can see you moving to Pattaya. Bangkok can be fun once in a while but everyday with all the people and traffic can be suffocating
Why I moved out of Bangkok: tired of sitting in traffic jams, black feet when wearing flip flops, people putting their dogs out to poo in the side streets so they are full of dog poo, pollution, costs, and city people not as friendly as country people. Sounds like I am complaining but I did stay over 10 years and did have a wonderful time.
Tourists shouldn't have a problem bouncing in and out of the country. New visa on entry unless they start to ask you what you're doing here and refuse you entry has happened to quite a few tourists over the years be careful.
Content suggestion. I would be interested in the tech you use to film your vlogs. All of it. The helmet with camera attachments. The good and bad of the mics you use on and off the moto. What tech you use, accessories, things you like and/or wish you had. Leave links in bio so people can easily buy them. Great vlogs bro. Keep up the good work.
Another quality video Adam! Your statement about the guy who said he "almost" moved to Thailand before inspired me to start my youtube channel in Thailand and do a video everyday for as long as i can... I know it wont be easy, but that's what separates the great content creators from everyone else. Keep up the good work and thanks for the videos.
@@keisone i’m still on the planning phase, selling things here in America and doing alot of research in the youtube algorithm and studying videography. I will be moving to Thailand on the first of september.
Great to see things are going well for you Adam. Just got home from there on Tuesday. Spent most of my time in rural Thailand with my gf & it is sooo much different to the tourist locations. Had a great time but have to say I enjoy my soft bed & not the hard as a rock mattress's in the country side. Good vid with good answers. 👍
Koh Kood in low season having just returned,........a lot of places and amenities in the resorts are closed (i.e on-site convenience shops, room service) dining hours are also restricted to around 8pm for last orders. If the weather is poor there isn't a great deal to do it is also one of the most sparsely populated islands so on the flip side very little traffic and it is a paradise.
I saw Margaritas in paradise channel.. Tom lives in Pattaya n he has Isuzu dmax n he hauls a bike in the back of the truck n goes all over Thailand. Like that option.
Kies, I always get my Thai lady to negotiate. I stay out of sight, and when she's happy, stiches up the price, she calls me, and the look is priceless!!😂
I have lived and worked in 20+ countries. If you are an expat, you are a foreigner by definition especially when you look different. In Africa and even in Italy, I was often seen as a "mark" same in parts of South America I was at risk of being kidnapped..We Western foreigners are considered to be wealthy, technically we come from wealthy countries. Being a "farng" is in my view not unique to Thailand, I never feel unsafe in Thailand (unless I am on a motorcycle). I do agree the traffic in BKK was better during COVID-19 days. ; ) Hope you find the perfect spot. Keep up the good work.
12:56 rumor has it that new government in a year or so will allow you to bring your MR2 into Thailand under new rules - only 100% import tax and weekend only registration. So we will see what happens with that. I do Porsche, have a few great ones over here in California, I’ll move full time to Bangkok soon (I hope). I’d hate to leave all my cars at home and buy a lesser car for more money in Thailand but that is the curse of car addiction. Otherwise you can buy a low cost car in Thailand and modify it - like Chad’s car. Everything is cheaper in Thailand except the cars 😢
I don't think it is difficult. Thais love harmony. My Mekong pearl is most charming creature in universe. All you need for visa is 20k Baht and the right agent and he opens a bank account for you and you get a original visa for a whole year. But you are right that english skills in Thailand are generally very very low.
Germany has legal weed, autobahn and Nürburgring and red light districts in some areas. and bier. lots of bier. but you only stay 90 days in a 6 month period. so limited time in the E.U.
If you want to buy a Hilux, please wait until the new version comes in a few months. Completly new developed and hybrid and full EV available. Also the 2nd hand prices will drop. The current model has just an old fashion 5 gear automatic.
Koh kood was my favourite island in January I went. Incredible uncrowded beaches lined with palm trees. Awesome spot if you want to chill and disconnect
its cheaper in time to order vs cook... cooking there is less than a dollar a meal.. but the 1-2 hours of prep and cleaning isnt worth my time. grab for the win
Korea is great I go for work sometimes in the Myeongdong area as its the printing district as well as the high end district. Its a great place to visit a bit expensive but work pays so doesnt matter. Thailand is better for me even though Im a aussie expat in KL.
True about being taken advantage of. Another creator explained how he was on his motorbike when an underage Thai kid tried to overtake a truck by riding into oncoming traffic and crashed straight into the creator's bike. Not only did the creator have to repair his own bike, but also the kid riding the wrong way bike as well. And too add, the repair shop that fixed the kids' bike made sure to jack up the repair costs.
Yeah, there is a million stories like this, I hear many privately too, not exclusively a Thailand thing, that would be the case in most countries especially in south east Asia..
Leaving your keys with your motorcycle is just asking for trouble. What's the point? How hard is it to put your keys in your pocket? Things are better than they used to be; that's partly because of cameras being everywhere, but things do get stolen here. A helmet of mine got stolen. Luckily, it was just a cheap one. I had a friend whose motorcycle was stolen from the parking lot of the building he lived in. There was a guard posted 24/7 and he didn't leave the keys with the vehicle. That means the thieves came in with a pick-up truck and lifted the bike onto the bed. The guard on duty was fired, and my friend received some compensation from the building owner, but it took months to get it straightened out.
Having travelled around the world and lived in various countries, I can say as a Brit, being overcharged is a thing and not just Thailand. This will happen to most Westerners. It is certainly not on every item and happens occasionally. I would be interested to know if other Asians in Thailand also get overcharged ? Love your video style, keep it.
Noodles isnt cooking. You cant get even close to the same quality ordering in. I don't buy things in individual packaging though. So I would never buy takaways that wern't in a packet that was compostable at my home. My food is far higher quality than organic cert in NZ (they lowered the bar for the money)
Taking advantage of foreigners and charging them more seems to be a Bangkok and tourist places thing. I live in the north of Thailand (Udon Thani District)and have never paid more than the locals and have been treated with total respect by the local people! Imo this taking advantage thing is really a Bangkok and tourist area thing.
I feel Thailand is very safe. More safe than most American cities. But I do know of two people that have had their gold neck chains grabbed by motorcycle riders as they walked down side streets at night in Pattaya and Bangkok.
Sorry but learning the local language where you live should be a must. Of course not fluent but still put in some effort. It’s also not about being if you need it or not cause „people speak English“. You learn the language of the country you live in to also show some respect and get immersed in the culture. Unfortunately people who have English as their mother tongue are very lazy with languages but at the same time demand everyone to speak English at their home.
hey mate my name is Brad and I moved to Khon Kaen at the end of 2023. I have the marriage VISA and I work remote for a U.S. company. Can you recommend an accountant/tax attorney I can use to help me with my taxes? I need someone who can interface with the Thai side tax and the U.S. side tax.
I know you were using Citi Bank for your banking. However, with the change to NAB Australia, which bank do you recommend to withdraw your Australian money into Thai currency without astronomical fees?
I use the NAB now still, there are no international fees, just ATM fees unfortunately.. usually I just tap with that card where I can and for other payments I transfer to Thai bank using wise
Brett Dev actually said that? Was he being sarcastic? Know what the people are moaning about is one the benefits of learning Thai. I never have to worry about people gossiping about me, because I only use Thai when speaking to locals. Why would anyone want to live long-term in a country where they can't speak the language?
@mythai05 it’s different here, because I don’t feel inconvenienced in any way, In Korea you NEED to speak Korean to get by, here is a lot more bilingual..
@@keisone Only if you stick to the touristy areas. I've been to villages in Esarn and met people who couldn't speak Thai let alone English. In the first neighborhood I lived in when I first stayed in Bangkok almost nobody spoke English, which was a good thing because it forced me to at learn the basics. And it gave me the motivation to learn more. I enjoy be able to converse on a wide range of subjects. Being able to speak the language fluently opens up many doors.
Mate Bangsaen Toshin" Mini Japan looks amazing place to see if you have a Thai girlfriend or wife get them to call the house room what every place you want to rent
I really think there is no need to learn Thai as it is very difficult like you mentioned. That little translator unit you had on your channel a few times is the perfect way to communicate and if you need a backup you can use your phone. It is nice to learn some simple phrases as the locals like it but the better you are at speaking Thai the more they assume you understand the language and it is almost impossible to understand if spoken quickly.
Thats the biggest issue with Thailand. You can't really go anywhere as an expat and fit in with locals until you learn the language. Nobody wants to communicate through translator units. I'm actually surprised dude hasn't went to go take some classes at this point if he's staying which it looks like he is. I mean I'm moving to Brazil in 6 months and already started with Portuguese.
@@davidmann2524 I Agree with you on this. If someone wants to live in a country then learn the language. A huge issue with this in America. Everyone moves here and congregates to where their ethnicity lives. No assimilation at all.
@@howtomoderate that's because most aren't permanent residents. They come here work for a few years and go back home. The ones that stay tend to learn the language over time. Im talking about people looking to make a new home.
@@davidmann2524 I agree. The immigration issue isn't the same as America. But it still holds similar consequences. And I am not talking about the 20 year old English teacher funding their travels. I am talking about people who plan to make said country a long term thing.

What a girlfriend for over a year. We're have you bin hiding her. Is she camera shy? Please introduce us 🙏. Does she have anything to do with you moving out of the city ? Another Great video
Haha I just don’t want to show her.. I prefer to keep it private, I have learned that keeping personal life and UA-cam life seperate is important, as have many other creators (we learn the hard way) haha
I don't understand why Aussies go and live permanently in Thailand. To start with, a male at 67 years of age can retire and receive a pension for the rest of his or her life. No pension in Thailand . In Australia if you need to see a doctor or need to be admitted to hospital for a operation etc again this is free. In Thailand, if you don't have medical insurance, you are in trouble. My wife was admitted at Bangkok hospital for Dengi fever and thank God we had travel insurance as no doctor or nurse would see my wife until the hospital staff were guaranteed their money If I had no insurance or money to pay for her medical expenses the hospital couldn't care less and turn her away. We are lucky enough to own our own home. In Thailand, you never own the land, the king of Thailand does, which is so ridiculous to me. When receiving the pension 95% of medication will only cost you a few dollars for each script. For low income families the Australian government will give you a house or unit with very low rent depending on how much you earn. No such thing in Thailand. From what I can see ,the King of Thailand gives the local Thai people jack shit. I don't understand why the Thai people think sun shines from the rear of the royal family as the royal family or King does jack shit to help the people. I mean, I can go on and write a book about this subject so for me to pack up and go and live in Thailand, and give up all the benefits from theAustralian government, I would have to have brain damage or similar Don't get me wrong, my wife and myself travel to Thailand twice each year and we love it. Nice weather, nice food, nice people, lots to do etc, great country for a holiday but NO way would I live there permanently
If I have any advice I would say if you want to do UA-cam, don’t do Thai travel content. If you have to go back home you won’t be able to keep your channel running. It’s not a strategic plan.
Don't go bro. Stay there Keis and don't leave. You will be glad you did. For Visa and Taxes just consult with reputable well established Thai professional who can help you

'There are some ppl I have no interest in meeting'...
👀 @ Roberto vs the World 🤣
Prefer Roberto ti be fair. He doesn’t delete comments because he believes in ‘positivity’
Cool vlog❤
What a girlfriend for over a year. We're have you bin hiding her. Is she camera shy? Please introduce us 🙏. Does she have anything to do with you moving out of the city ? Another Great video
Haha I just don’t want to show her.. I prefer to keep it private, I have learned that keeping personal life and UA-cam life seperate is important, as have many other creators (we learn the hard way) haha
I don't understand why Aussies go and live permanently in Thailand. To start with, a male at 67 years of age can retire and receive a pension for the rest of his or her life. No pension in Thailand . In Australia if you need to see a doctor or need to be admitted to hospital for a operation etc again this is free. In Thailand, if you don't have medical insurance, you are in trouble. My wife was admitted at Bangkok hospital for Dengi fever and thank God we had travel insurance as no doctor or nurse would see my wife until the hospital staff were guaranteed their money
If I had no insurance or money to pay for her medical expenses the hospital couldn't care less and turn her away. We are lucky enough to own our own home. In Thailand, you never own the land, the king of Thailand does, which is so ridiculous to me. When receiving the pension 95% of medication will only cost you a few dollars for each script. For low income families the Australian government will give you a house or unit with very low rent depending on how much you earn. No such thing in Thailand. From what I can see ,the King of Thailand gives the local Thai people jack shit. I don't understand why the Thai people think sun shines from the rear of the royal family as the royal family or King does jack shit to help the people. I mean, I can go on and write a book about this subject so for me to pack up and go and live in Thailand, and give up all the benefits from theAustralian government, I would have to have brain damage or similar
Don't get me wrong, my wife and myself travel to Thailand twice each year and we love it. Nice weather, nice food, nice people, lots to do etc, great country for a holiday but NO way would I live there permanently
Most difficult part for me is the time difference. Working nights sucks when you're working US hours.
Thailand is over rated 😅
Too hot for me prefer the weather in Korea except for winter
Yeah the winter is savage haha
Are ya moving to Pattaya? :)
Maybe Jomtien 😀
Who can resist the delights
Oooo soft launch ;)
Hahaha yes!
You may, for awhile, think your life is "stable" in Thailand, but it is not and never will be.
They need to man up and learn to handle criticism instead of hiding behind laws made to protect cowards and those offering substandard service
Think Rayong or hauhin ?.
why don't you like to take motor-bike taxi?
Hahaha lovely pasta
🤣🤣
If I have any advice I would say if you want to do UA-cam, don’t do Thai travel content. If you have to go back home you won’t be able to keep your channel running. It’s not a strategic plan.
Wow, i need to be more careful with my reviews
