I think the most logical reason why there's many "older white men" in Thailand is because they're looking for a more fulfilling life style for the money. Many of the reasons you mentioned also apply. Last month, the total amount of my utility bills alone came to about $400 (about 14,500 Baht) living in Ohio, U.S.A. That amount of money could easily be rent for a nice apartment or house anywhere in Thailand. The cost of living here is simply much higher than in southeast Asia. As a born Thai national, I also intend to move back to Thailand and retire earlier than most of my peers. I want to enjoy my later years doing whatever I feel like...freedom is priceless!
@@measlymitch778 Yep someone who talks real, they all try fool themselves that the younger girl they have is with them for love, yes it is love, the love of money. But let them dream I guess.
@Christopher Jacobs They like to keep the illusion going guess it all adds to the dream, me I like to keep it real and realise they mainly like my money.
The way your mom has improved physically since day 1 of bootcamp, she could be signing up for mauy thai lessons before Christmas. Hehe. Proud of you guys for the time you give her. Sadly, not too many moms are as lucky as she is, to get the love that you guys treat her with. You guys are doing an awesome job.
Excellent talk on why older men move to Thailand! Very true and who cares as long as you’re happy. It’s harder than ever in this world to be happy so great if you find happiness!
OK I get it. But you still have them men who exploit the situation. I don,t want to say the p word. I am 70 year old woman and for years travelled in Far East. can I say your Mum is adjusting very well
I really don't see how an older white woman can find happiness in Pattaya....lol. Govt knows its prostitoots 24/7 and so does anyone with a Brain. If she OK with that she is amazing creature.
Good to have a positive mum and good that you make the effort to respect and show love and kindness , small step but it’s big steps for your mum All the very best for the future
Kara, your hair looks fantastic! Enjoy being spoiled with spa days, good food, family who obviously loves you and cares for your well being in life. Take in the fresh air and sunsets and have a beautiful life each and every day. ❤
i love your moms hair cut and it looked like she enjoyed her massage. the condo looks so great ive never stayed in Pataya i probably will now. thanks for great video you are so nice to your mom
Chuck, we are long time subscribers and have been your fans in over 3 years.Although we don’t always leave comments,we just want you to know how much we always love watching your videos and appreciate you and Paige for sharing your amazing lives with us through your videos. We especially love the recent episodes of the videos with your beautiful mum travelling to Thailand.Your mum is absolutely amazing and so brave to be able to make such a huge lifestyle change moving across to the other side of the world to a foreign country with you and Paige.You are awesome chuck, guess you inherited your wonderful personality from your dear mum.Hope your mum continue to enjoy her adventures in Thailand and hope you, Paige and your mum are always blessed with love, health and much happiness and of course your many wonderful friends like beautiful Lori and her hubby among others.Your mum look great- love her new hair cut. 🙏🏽👍
Hi Chuck & Paige. I've been a fan for over 2yrs now. I actually spent 2 weeks in Thailand back in 1/20, right before all the lockdowns. Visited Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai. Got foot massages every day and full body every 3 days. I would recommend that your mom get a foot massage every day as well. It will improve her circulation and keep her from being sore from her daily steps. I am thinkin the same thing as I get up in age...retiring in Thailand or at least spend 6months there. I love this new journey you are on with your darling mother!
Hello everyone, glad to meet you! True life story thanks for sharing Chuck! You are blessed with your mum, I took care of my mother right to the end. Dad died in action July 1943, a Commando in the WW2 jungle warfare specialist, fought with the US Marine in the Pacific War (Solomon island). Wishing you all the best..
I am impressed how Texas Strong this lady is , I mean the change is so different and also nice as you engage the culture . I wish you and this great lady mom a super future . I think in 18 months , the changes from living in Thailand will better her life so much . Be strong and explore lady !!!
Old white guy here. :-) I moved over here in 2011. When I think about it, my day isn't really much different than what I'd be doing if I were still in Seattle. However, IMO, the weather is better for me in the tropics, the fresh food in my diet is higher, and my cost of living is significantly better here. My pension income is the same if I were here or there, but expenses here are so much more reasonable than they were in Seattle. It's not easy for many people to pare down their possessions to what fits in checked and carry-on airline baggage, but the long term rewards (for me at least) have been awesome.
Love the way your Mum answers your, "Mom do you want ...." questions with a very quick "No". Makes me chuckle because it sounds like me and the big fella when we're out walking. 😉 Yes, agreed ... it's the quality of your OWN later life that should be of concern. No reason to stick around where you may be uncomfortable or unhappy. My philosophy is that what others think of me is their problem, not mine. I live my life now to enjoy myself and treat everyone with respect and walk away from any disrespect from others. Mum Kara's new hairstyle is lovely, suits her and will be so much cooler. Yum and that chicken looks delicious and the Indian food too. Gosh we can't wait for our trip later this year.
Hiya. I would have never thought your mum was 70 years young. She looks amazing. I love how your mum is enjoying the food. For sure. Why does it matter how anyone else chooses to live? If they're happy, good on them. Life is too short to worry about what anyone else thinks. My son is 29, so for me personally, it would be creepy. But each to their own. I have friends who date men younger than their children in the UK. Dreadlocks. Lol. I love the banter you have with your mum, Chuck. The air con, in places, always makes me cough. It dries my mouth out. Ignore the haters, people telling you what you should be doing. We all got to get on. Natural immunity is better than anything. *Wow. Your mum's hair. She looks fantastic.* Nice to see your mum chilling. So great you feel relaxed in the place you are staying. Great to see. Mitch and Doa. Lovely couple. Your food looked good. Liked and Shared as always. That is a first for me. Seeing a clothes stall on the side on a mophead. LOl. Have a great week.
Mom's haircut looks great on her. Paige needs to take some front, side, and rear pics to document the hairstyle for getting it again in the future somewhere else. Like others really enjoying this series of vids. Yes, many of the old men are here for the ladies. But also all the other reasons and factors you gave. But they wouldn't stand out so much if older single women felt more secure in moving to a foreign country alone. That would shift the balance a bit.
Chuck, you are so spot on with your assessment of quality of life and Thai women. I have been in Thailand for nearly one year. Returning to the US for 2-3 months to take care of a few things and returning to Thailand and getting a retirement Visa. I'm 71 and my beautiful gf is 65. Loving life here in every way. Thanks for all of your guidance!
I share your philosophy Chuck!! You live life to the fullest! We live moment to moment with no guarantees. love your hair Kara! Your feisty Mom might even meet her a companion in time with the pool she is swimming in! Lol
Thank you Chuck, once again you did not disappoint, just living life o d day at a time and taking such good care of you mum. She definitely looks more easier on the foot and the massages will definitely get her back on track. Can't wait to join you guys on the way life should be lived, free of all the BS and just easy living lifestyles
If I can give an older woman's perspective (I'm 62), it may be hard for your mom to make friends in a town like Pattaya. Men of all ages want to spend time with young Thai women and their buddies, and there probably aren't a lot of older single women. When I consider places I want to live, I think about opportunities to socialize and make friends with people who have similar interests. If your mom is interested in living a healthier lifestyle, how about Chiang Mai? PS I'm moving back to Malaysia soon - can't wait to leave the US!
There are actually many western women in Thailand. Including Pattaya, Hua Hin, Chiang Mai, Phuket. -- There certainly are not as visible and the ratio is not 50/50 to western men.
Air quality in Chiang Mai can be horrendous at times... dare I say it, worse than BKK! Hua Hin is probably [one of] the best options for Chuck's mum. My friend actually owns retirement properties there (not naming the business), but there's a fair number of older western female retirees in Hua Hin, should she be looking for that kind of community.
Really enjoying these videos with Mum, also Mitch and his partner, such a lovely couple, and of course Paige and you, I am sure there are a lot of mums watching thinking why hasn't my son taken me to Thailand to retire.....and as you say i honestly think its a better quality of life in Thailand than say somewhere like the UK ....your Mum seems to be really enjoying it and i love that she has indulged and immersed herself into Thai food.
CHUCK i can really see how hard your trying with your mum A BIG WELLDONE from me its early days yet as you no your self your mum is such a strong women i think its FANTASTIC what your doing and its such a shame that MANY people in life don't do the same meaning a BIG change in lifestyle anyway enough babbling on 😃 THANKS again Chuck and paige for your U tube channel i think is AMAZING 🌅♥️🌅😃 ps Your mum looked AMAZING when walking out of the salon ♥️🌅♥️
Hello Neighbor. I'm live in that massive, rectangular box of a condo in the far background of your opening scene: Jomtien beach Condo. This is a great area. I was living in Bangkok but came here in June, 21 to escape covid...of course it was soon just as prevalent here. This is a great area. Generally quiet but lots of variety nearby. Enjoying your adventure introducing mom to the wonders and oddities of Thailand.
Chuck you area great son I knew that even before I knew about your mother, from the way you took such great interest in page’s mom I said what a guy, may God’s blessings be with you all, and please stay as sweet as you are🙏🙏
Hi Chuck and Paige and Kara. Kara you are doing so well with your walking. Plus your looking very happy. I'm a bit older than you the first time I went to Thailand met people that work in the shops and every time I go back they still remember me.. My fav shopping place central festival.
Love your philosophy on life and look forward to your daily vlogs. Good health, peace of mind and most importantly love of self and family. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Chuck, I always like your vlogs, but the vlogs you are doing with your mum are brilliant. You come across as so happy that you are with your mum, and I can see how loving and caring you are towards your mum. I look forward to seeing more vlogs with your mum. Best wishes to you, your mum and Paige. Take care and have a great time. Thank you, Jeff,
Chuck, Paige and Kara, We are really enjoying your series on bringing your Mom to Thailand. Huge challenge and we hope the best for her, you, and Paige. The convenience and cost of Thailand are huge positives for retirees. Also, the comraderie that you mentioned is huge. I think keeping your family together by having Kara there is a big positive. Is Kara a beach, mountain or Mekhong river person? That will guide her decision making. Then, where were you and Paige thinking of living permanently in Thailand? Seems like Prachuap was resonating in previous videos. Once you select a location that may coincide with Kara's preference, perhaps rent a year long stay place together and give it a go. I wish I could bring my Mom to Thailand, however she is 88 years old and not able to make the trip. Your Mom is the right age to make this move. Cheers! Pat and Bee
I have to say... everytime I watch your videos, is like I'm apart of your family!! It's like we're all going on this journey together. And I love it!! Thanks to all of you guys!!
Love your mother's adventure. She's a champ!! Always start my trip in Thailand with a little personal spoiling. That fried chicken in the market is making me hungry. You and Paige are introducing your mother at a great pace to the idea of living in Thailand. Forget the old man thoughts, I'm with you. I walk around with my daughter when we travel there who's 1/2 Thai, I'm sure I get the looks, but I could care less. 😂 🇨🇦🛫🇹🇭
I have noticed how much weight Mitch has lost. He’s looking healthier each time I see him. Great job Mitch! I’m glad to see you (Chuck), Paige, and your mom (Kara) putting in the effort to take care of your health as a well. Great job, keep up the good work!
Oh Cara, I like your pants!!! I want some! (You don’t look 70). Food looks so good! Thanks Paige for being so up lifting…..and thanks Chuck for videoing!
Hi Chuck & Paige, hope you have a great time. These last vid’s since your mom’s arrival was very informative , interesting and also hilarious at times. Hope you took your mom to the markets so she could get a whole new set of brushes.👀👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Keep up the good vids. That coffee on the verandah with that view is fantastic, what a beautiful day. Cheers.
Hey y'all. Thanks for your videos. I have been coming to Pattaya since 1986. At that time the population during high season was 50,000 including tourists and full timers. There was only Beach Rd. and 2nd road. There was nothing but farm land between 2nd road and Sumkamvit. There was not a single structure on Jomtien Beach. The average age of the guys in Pattaya was early 30's. Unbelievable I know but absolutely the way it was.
Holy smokes, we're neighbors!! I have been in Thailand for about two months and I live in the Acqua Condo's on the same road as the Jomtein Night Market. I go there once or twice a week to get that fried chicken and ribs. You should try the Mexican food too. Your Mom's condo looks great. I don't know if you are still there or you have moved out yet but if your Mom is planning on staying, I would be glad to help if she needs anything. Jomtien is a nice place so far, but I will probably get a bigger condo in a few months nearby. Love your channel.. you and Paige are awesome
Hey Chuck, glad to see your mom getting used to her new surroundings and the travel. Also nice to see you showing the Jomtien area as I am thinking of going there in Oct. for a couple of months. I think that area would best suit my wants, quieter than central Pattaya, closeness to beaches and restaurants and shopping. Still not 100% decided as I will be on foot or using baht bus or taxis as I will not be renting anything for transport while there. Anyhow, still enjoying your videos after several years. All the best to you all! Take care.
I can’t believe how well your mum has taken to eating Thai food so well, I’m impressed, shes doing better than most people I know when it comes to Thai food 👏, considering that Thai food is major obstacle to get used to if you want live in Thailand, seeing that Thai food is so much more cheaper to eat than food from west
I like the way you explained the senior men being in Asian countries. Enjoy life and be happy, just make sure your bring your brain along with you. No need to be taken advantage of..............she gives you take, you give she takes.........all is good. Love your Mom and of course Page.
mom needs a week of massage n cake full thai massage next Kara just take it slow theres a lot to adjust to. The rice porrige in the morning is so healthy much better than eggs n bacon . You are in good hands with chuck and page. Be sure to get rest ,take naps, dont push
Good info about older men. Here in the USA he would be a pervert. Western thinking is so harsh. I love how in south east Asia you are judged more on about the inside than the outside. Thanks Chuck
Thanks for another great video, thanks for sharing your mom's journey, I'm sure somewhere there's other ladies her age thinking of Thailand 🇹🇭 safe travels Chuck and family
I got to agree with some people saying your mum bless her needs to have a regular foot massage ,it will do wonders in the long run .I use to have a shoulder injury due to my job .Used the same lady 5 days running and not had one problem with it the last three years since my first massage, And i'm still doing the same job .I walked past the same place whilst i was still on holiday and thanked her numerous times and have a chat 🙏No way does your mum look 70
I was going to ask but you answered it. About your young-looking Mom. You are a good and wise man talked about relationship and happiness WE all are wanting the same thing security, love and happiness.
Hi and good Morning Chuck&Paige and mom Kara i realy love to follow your journey... 🤗i am still at the beginning and heare som of your news - laughing is best medicine
i" dont care about age, i am happy to be alive", - words of your mom are so fascinating !, i realy wish she finds a place to live in TH, she fits in to this amazing country !🙏🍀
Love your mamma's spirit...that age is just a number. My mother in Malaysia says the same thing as she is getting close to 80s. Glad to see mum moved there, life is much better I feel. I am a Malaysian and living in South Florida and in the USA for almost 24 hours. Early retirement is possible in Asia and health care is much better. I feel food quality is much better in Asia....stay away from fast food and just eat real food. In no time, momma gonna get younger and younger. I am not a doctor but I watch what I eat like a hawk and also be conscious. Get mum start drinking those Thai made herb tonic and those fresh green smoothies. It is cleansing and also will heal her swollen feet much quicker and also flushes out. Please ask your wife to count on the number times you say 'mum' in a day........a lot of mothers on this earth will be jealous of your and your mother.Just in this 34 minutes clip, there are more than 10 times the word was used :). Lucky mum!! 💌
Hello Chuck, Paige & Mom! I laughed so much after you commented on the mask issue.... Then Pookie gave the you the "You talk too much" hand signal!! Very funny Pookie!!! Hair looks very nice & cool Mom! ❤🙏
Chuck - I don’t comment often - just enjoy your great content. What you are doing for your mum is fantastic - I hope that you, her and Paige enjoy the journey. After a covid enforced break I’ll soon be back in Thailand - we tend to head north to Kanchanaburi etc - but also enjoy the craziness of BK. With your Thai family you have that great support needed to settle that bit more fully. Massive respect for mastering Thai. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
I enjoyed Pattaya, but might enjoy a smaller city.. as a long time fan of the show I've always enjoyed your views and tend to agree with you on most things.. I'm about 7 years away from retirement and would like to spend time, year or two in different places to see diversity of life..
Loving these Chuck I have a question will Mom be moving up to your home in the future or are you thinking of staying in Jomtien until she finds somewhere. she a lovely lady her health will improve no doubt in Thailand
Glad to see you taking good care of your mom and making sure that her needs are met, I just hope you don't overextend her as her life may be hasn't been as active as yours. Buy your mom the topper she will appreciate it

And retired men are usually older.
Most logical reason is they like boning younger chicks they could never get at home. No money no honey simple as that.
@@measlymitch778 Yep someone who talks real, they all try fool themselves that the younger girl they have is with them for love, yes it is love, the love of money. But let them dream I guess.

Life is cheap for old white women too, but you dont see them around..

I really don't see how an older white woman can find happiness in Pattaya....lol.
Govt knows its prostitoots 24/7 and so does anyone with a Brain.
If she OK with that she is amazing creature.
@@ginagombroski65 I seriously doubt she will pick Pattaya to live and he’s just showing her the many options.
Would you show your Mom Pattaya as the first place?
Maybe I'm just out of touch.....lol.hahaha.
Have mom visit Paige s family. Anything but Pattaya.
Good to have a positive mum and good that you make the effort to respect and show love and kindness , small step but it’s big steps for your mum
All the very best for the future
Thank you for the wishes and thank you for the positive comment
Your mother is such a joy to watch. She’s so positive.
Kara, your hair looks fantastic! Enjoy being spoiled with spa days, good food, family who obviously loves you and cares for your well being in life. Take in the fresh air and sunsets and have a beautiful life each and every day. ❤
is this Lauri and Brent by any chance ?
i love your moms hair cut and it looked like she enjoyed her massage.
the condo looks so great ive never stayed in Pataya i probably will now.
thanks for great video you are so nice to your mom
"If your a bad person, bad things will come to you. You do get back what you give some times in life". So perfectly said... Your absolutely correct!

Hi Chuck & Paige. I've been a fan for over 2yrs now.
I actually spent 2 weeks in Thailand back in 1/20, right before all the lockdowns. Visited Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai. Got foot massages every day and full body every 3 days.

Very impressed with how well your mom is getting around. And we are very happy to see that your mom appears happy in her new environment.
Hello, Kara. You're looking so much better. New hair looks so sassy. All the best as you explore Thailand.
Hello everyone, glad to meet you!
True life story thanks for sharing Chuck!
You are blessed with your mum, I took care of my mother right to the end.
Dad died in action July 1943, a Commando in the WW2 jungle warfare specialist, fought with the US Marine in the Pacific War (Solomon island).

Watching the videos from when you first introduced your mom it's pretty evident that she is starting to walk better. Great job to her, keep it up!
It's lovely to see how you look after your mum Chuck. She has a son to be proud of. Best wishes from England.

Your Mom is doing great and has such a great attitude. She looks better since she arrived in Thailand.
I share your philosophy Chuck!! You live life to the fullest! We live moment to moment with no guarantees. love your hair Kara! Your feisty Mom might even meet her a companion in time with the pool she is swimming in! Lol
Oh my! Kara, your hair looks great! So happy you’re getting the Royal treatment, you deserve it.👍😊
Your mum looks good in her new hair cut. Wishing your mum a wonderful and blessed new life in Thailand.
Kara your hair looks great ,you are doing so well,😍🙏🏻
Your Mothers new hair style really suits her , it makes her look more youthful
Great video again. Moms new hair style accentuates her beautiful face. Makes her look much younger.
Thank you Chuck, once again you did not disappoint, just living life o d day at a time and taking such good care of you mum.

I agree with you. Chum sees it from a mens point of view. Caucasian women over 50 looked upon different especially by the Thai women.
There are actually many western women in Thailand.
Including Pattaya, Hua Hin, Chiang Mai, Phuket.
-- There certainly are not as visible and the ratio is not 50/50 to western men.
Many friendships exist between men and women.

There's an expat ladies club in Pattaya. I sent info to Chuck a while ago but it should be easy enough to find again from Mr. Google.

Hello Neighbor. I'm live in that massive, rectangular box of a condo in the far background of your opening scene: Jomtien beach Condo. This is a great area. I was living in Bangkok but came here in June, 21 to escape covid...of course it was soon just as prevalent here.
This is a great area. Generally quiet but lots of variety nearby. Enjoying your adventure introducing mom to the wonders and oddities of Thailand.
Love watching your Mum embracing Thailand culture, keep it coming. Looking forward to seeing Koh Chang, one of my favourite places x
Chuck you area great son I knew that even before I knew about your mother, from the way you took such great interest in page’s mom I said what a guy, may God’s blessings be with you all, and please stay as sweet as you are🙏🙏
🥰
Hi Chuck and Paige and Kara. Kara you are doing so well with your walking. Plus your looking very happy. I'm a bit older than you the first time I went to Thailand met people that work in the shops and every time I go back they still remember me.. My fav shopping place central festival.
Seeing the food, the sights, everything makes me homesick to get back to Thailand.
Love your philosophy on life and look forward to your daily vlogs. Good health, peace of mind and most importantly love of self and family. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like your mother is having so much fun.
good job chuck your mum looks great.
Hi Chuck, I always like your vlogs, but the vlogs you are doing with your mum are brilliant. You come across as so happy that you are with your mum, and I can see how loving and caring you are towards your mum. I look forward to seeing more vlogs with your mum. Best wishes to you, your mum and Paige. Take care and have a great time. Thank you, Jeff,
Love Love Love the Haircut Kara😊
Chuck, Paige and Kara,
We are really enjoying your series on bringing your Mom to Thailand. Huge challenge and we hope the best for her, you, and Paige. The convenience and cost of Thailand are huge positives for retirees. Also, the comraderie that you mentioned is huge. I think keeping your family together by having Kara there is a big positive.
Is Kara a beach, mountain or Mekhong river person? That will guide her decision making. Then, where were you and Paige thinking of living permanently in Thailand? Seems like Prachuap was resonating in previous videos. Once you select a location that may coincide with Kara's preference, perhaps rent a year long stay place together and give it a go.
I wish I could bring my Mom to Thailand, however she is 88 years old and not able to make the trip. Your Mom is the right age to make this move.
Cheers!
Pat and Bee
I have to say... everytime I watch your videos, is like I'm apart of your family!! It's like we're all going on this journey together. And I love it!! Thanks to all of you guys!!
Nice you are taking good care your Mom.
Love your mother's adventure. She's a champ!! Always start my trip in Thailand with a little personal spoiling. That fried chicken in the market is making me hungry. You and Paige are introducing your mother at a great pace to the idea of living in Thailand. Forget the old man thoughts, I'm with you. I walk around with my daughter when we travel there who's 1/2 Thai, I'm sure I get the looks, but I could care less. 😂 🇨🇦🛫🇹🇭
I have noticed how much weight Mitch has lost. He’s looking healthier each time I see him. Great job Mitch! I’m glad to see you (Chuck), Paige, and your mom (Kara) putting in the effort to take care of your health as a well. Great job, keep up the good work!
Oh Cara, I like your pants!!! I want some! (You don’t look 70).
Food looks so good! Thanks Paige for being so up lifting…..and thanks Chuck for videoing!
Mom really on her game. Changing body and lifestyle is a daunting task. If only everyone had her fortitude and courage witch she finds in your love.
Good morning from Melbourne Australia. Thanks for sharing this video 👍.
Hi Chuck & Paige, hope you have a great time. These last vid’s since your mom’s arrival was very informative , interesting and also hilarious at times. Hope you took your mom to the markets so she could get a whole new set of brushes.👀👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Keep up the good vids. That coffee on the verandah with that view is fantastic, what a beautiful day. Cheers.
Hey y'all. Thanks for your videos.
I have been coming to Pattaya since 1986. At that time the population during high season was 50,000 including tourists and full timers. There was only Beach Rd. and 2nd road. There was nothing but farm land between 2nd road and Sumkamvit. There was not a single structure on Jomtien Beach. The average age of the guys in Pattaya was early 30's. Unbelievable I know but absolutely the way it was.
Great to see your Mum embracing the local food even for breakfast! She's adapting very well and the new haircut looks great on her! 👍
Holy smokes, we're neighbors!! I have been in Thailand for about two months and I live in the Acqua Condo's on the same road as the Jomtein Night Market. I go there once or twice a week to get that fried chicken and ribs. You should try the Mexican food too. Your Mom's condo looks great. I don't know if you are still there or you have moved out yet but if your Mom is planning on staying, I would be glad to help if she needs anything. Jomtien is a nice place so far, but I will probably get a bigger condo in a few months nearby. Love your channel.. you and Paige are awesome
Hey Chuck, glad to see your mom getting used to her new surroundings and the travel. Also nice to see you showing the Jomtien area as I am thinking of going there in Oct. for a couple of months. I think that area would best suit my wants, quieter than central Pattaya, closeness to beaches and restaurants and shopping. Still not 100% decided as I will be on foot or using baht bus or taxis as I will not be renting anything for transport while there. Anyhow, still enjoying your videos after several years. All the best to you all! Take care.
Caras new doo is beautiful. Suits her face very nice. Lots of love from me to you Chuck...
Nicole 😊❤
Your videos with Kara are a great "how to" on acclimating someone new on moving to Thailand. Looking forward to the Mexican restaurant visit.
I can’t believe how well your mum has taken to eating Thai food so well, I’m impressed, shes doing better than most people I know when it comes to Thai food 👏, considering that Thai food is major obstacle to get used to if you want live in Thailand, seeing that Thai food is so much more cheaper to eat than food from west
Glade to have you explain that in a classy way about why older dudes come here.
Looking good Cara! See you guys soon!
I like the way you explained the senior men being in Asian countries. Enjoy life and be happy, just make sure your bring your brain along with you. No need to be taken advantage of..............she gives you take, you give she takes.........all is good. Love your Mom and of course Page.
Your mom looks much more vibrant, healthy and happy then she used to be in USA 😄
mom needs a week of massage n cake full thai massage next Kara just take it slow theres a lot to adjust to. The rice porrige in the morning is so healthy much better than eggs n bacon . You are in good hands with chuck and page. Be sure to get rest ,take naps, dont push
Thanks for the video Chuck, those market video's always make me hungry. My wife liked your moms haircut.
I have a weak knee and I have found that Tumeric supplements help where other things have not. It keeps inflamation down thus keeping pain down.
Hi Chuck! Everyday is fantastic! Take care and stay blessed. Tell your mom life begins at 70.♦♦♦♥♦♦♦
Good info about older men. Here in the USA he would be a pervert. Western thinking is so harsh. I love how in south east Asia you are judged more on about the inside than the outside. Thanks Chuck
He would be a pervert if he did something perverse, just living in Thailand doesn’t qualify
Kara, you look amazing! Love the pants and haircut! 👍👍
So many big 1st for your mom! Enjoy!
Thanks for another great video, thanks for sharing your mom's journey, I'm sure somewhere there's other ladies her age thinking of Thailand 🇹🇭 safe travels Chuck and family
Great haircut. Looking more comfortable. As you watch you can see Paige knows Chuck very well.
I got to agree with some people saying your mum bless her needs to have a regular foot massage ,it will do wonders in the long run .I use to have a shoulder injury due to my job .Used the same lady 5 days running and not had one problem with it the last three years since my first massage, And i'm still doing the same job .I walked past the same place whilst i was still on holiday and thanked her numerous times and have a chat 🙏No way does your mum look 70
Enjoyed conversations and see your family's new lifestyle. Go mom
I was going to ask but you answered it. About your young-looking Mom. You are a good and wise man talked about relationship and happiness WE all are wanting the same thing security, love and happiness.
Hi and good Morning Chuck&Paige and mom Kara i realy love to follow your journey... 🤗i am still at the beginning and heare som of your news - laughing is best medicine
i" dont care about age, i am happy to be alive", - words of your mom are so fascinating !, i realy wish she finds a place to live in TH, she fits in to this amazing country !🙏🍀
Love Kara hair cut, she look great.
Love your mamma's spirit...that age is just a number. My mother in Malaysia says the same thing as she is getting close to 80s. Glad to see mum moved there, life is much better I feel. I am a Malaysian and living in South Florida and in the USA for almost 24 hours. Early retirement is possible in Asia and health care is much better. I feel food quality is much better in Asia....stay away from fast food and just eat real food. In no time, momma gonna get younger and younger. I am not a doctor but I watch what I eat like a hawk and also be conscious. Get mum start drinking those Thai made herb tonic and those fresh green smoothies. It is cleansing and also will heal her swollen feet much quicker and also flushes out. Please ask your wife to count on the number times you say 'mum' in a day........a lot of mothers on this earth will be jealous of your and your mother.Just in this 34 minutes clip, there are more than 10 times the word was used :). Lucky mum!! 💌
Chuck, that style of shirt looks nice on you. You’re more comfortable in t-shirts I’m sure, but you should try that style more often too. lol. 👍😊
Thanks for sharing Great video good job for you mom lilo from israel
Hello Chuck, Paige & Mom! I laughed so much after you commented on the mask issue.... Then Pookie gave the you the "You talk too much" hand signal!! Very funny Pookie!!! Hair looks very nice & cool Mom! ❤🙏
Kara's hair is so becoming on her, great cut!
You have a wonderful family. God Bliss
Wow! Mom looks great!
I'm with you on the mask situation.
I'm done wearing it now too.
Absolutely love watching your mom’s journey in Thailand 😘
Me too❤️
My work place. Thank you very much for presenting😊😊
Mom's doing fantastic! She'll be great👍
Great to see your mum . Good to see Thailand getting back to normal. Take care hi to Paige
the old man question : "go where you are treated best" , Thailand treats you best .
Chuck - I don’t comment often - just enjoy your great content. What you are doing for your mum is fantastic - I hope that you, her and Paige enjoy the journey. After a covid enforced break I’ll soon be back in Thailand - we tend to head north to Kanchanaburi etc - but also enjoy the craziness of BK. With your Thai family you have that great support needed to settle that bit more fully. Massive respect for mastering Thai. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
I enjoyed Pattaya, but might enjoy a smaller city.. as a long time fan of the show I've always enjoyed your views and tend to agree with you on most things.. I'm about 7 years away from retirement and would like to spend time, year or two in different places to see diversity of life..
Loving these Chuck I have a question will Mom be moving up to your home in the future or are you thinking of staying in Jomtien until she finds somewhere. she a lovely lady her health will improve no doubt in Thailand
Glad to see you taking good care of your mom and making sure that her needs are met, I just hope you don't overextend her as her life may be hasn't been as active as yours. Buy your mom the topper she will appreciate it
Paige made me LOL with her Yada Yada Yada hand gesture... I am still smiling....
