Dan you would not believe it but thanks to watching your videos on UA-cam all these years, I got enough courage to study Thai online. It has opened a window to a new world for me. I hope to obtain basic conversational Thai when I am ready to visit Thailand in the future.
I went to Malaysia in 2016. KL and Kuching, Borneo. It is a fascinating country because of that demographic mix of Malay, Chinese, and Indian. I’m embarrassed to admit that I was a little nervous about going to a strongly Muslim country at that time but was very pleasantly surprised at how friendly everyone was. Going up the Petronas towers was amazing as was dining and walking around KL at night. Borneo was primarily ecotourism with some amazing national parks and that wonderful orangutan rescue center you briefly showed in the video.
I had the same experience. My wife is from Malaysia. I found the people to be open and friendly, and especially friendly when you showed them respect and value! They are kind, loving people. My wife helps me tremendously with the language differences as she speaks fluent English, Tamil, Malay, and some Chinese, Thai, and Indonesian. We own a house in Seremban. Aloha!
I never get tired of watching you two do videos together. Your content is always 'apropos' and never contrived. And you are an inspiring couple 👍
Thank you!!!
Always enjoy the videos!!
Great job, I watch all of your videos!
Looking you two up next year
I just became a new subscriber.....thanks from Los Angeles!
You two are huge aspiration to me. Thank you.
Another EXCELLENT video. Thank you again
looking forward to part 2 and 3. this is inspiring content, especially the food part!
Excellent video Dan and Qiang! Very useful info, thanks again
hola!!! Chiang, great dress! it's been a while.. good to see you!
Great video Dan and Qiang!
Thanks! 😃
Ya Chung - the Colonial architecture is off the hook in Malaysia, if u love architectural joy Malaysia for U! 🤙
Thank you so much. It’s a guide to my coming life. 😂
In a couple of years.
Another great video and I wouldn't argue with your top 10 choices but if you take into account the ease and expense of obtaining a retirement visa, the cost of living, the taxation of income and the quality of medical faciities then I think the pecking order would change significantly.
I know it is very difficult to to stay on top of the continual changes that are taking place in SE Asia as they compete for retiree dollars but it would be great if you could touch on this in a future video.
Keep up the great work that you are doing 👍
Bali sounds amazing. I listened to a video that showed about the huge jail in Bali and the way prisoners are treated shows that the Balinese people are way more evolved. You two keep my dreams alive. Many thanks
Great, thank you so much. I also like Ubud and Kota Kinabalu. My wife is thai.
I like the Bali Coffee, it's strong and tasty. Regards from CH.
Would love to see a video with suggestions of a slow travel itinerary while looking for a retirement destination
Great suggestion!
Love this video. So helpful and interesting!
4:45 that's so cool what hike / city is that huge rock ?
Dan I was reviewing one of your guides I think it has had to do with dating / falling in love. It was a great touch that you listed out the top four countries where they have strong passports and you "might want to fall in love with a girl from there" 😂 I thought that was cute hahaha. A Polish and Malaysian girl are definitely on my list thanks to that
Thanks Dan for the great information. I enjoy your show tremendously. Have you been to Burma?🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Poor Burma. US gov level 4 Travel Advisory - Do Not Travel
Yes I have
Hey Paul, I’m addicted to your vids you both do a great job, when I first start this around the world travel do you recommend starting closer to home I’m from Canada I was thing Central American first, 2nd South America and then Europe finally south east Asia which I’m more excited about.
That is the beauty of life. You are in charge of it. :-)
Nice video presentation. I'm a vegan/vegetarian and it's been quite challenging to find very spicy food in Bangkok and even worse in Vietnam. I am contemplating moving to either Saigon and Bangkok.
@Vagabond Awake Hi Dan, do you both plan to stop travelling and settle down somewhere anytime soon, or just keep travelling around for all your retirement? Just curious on your plans and if you ever get tired of not having a base that you can call your home. Great videos and content as always, thankyou from UK! (ps. maybe need some different microphones - your voices keep going quiet then loud, so sometimes hard to understand!)
So many Mr. DIY stores here in Malaysia. One that is very close in Seremban 3 has a good selection of tools and other items for home repair. Their stores in KL are not supplied well as most men in the big cities have very little experience repairing homes. It is going to be cool this week. Rain has slowed down. Going to Malacca again to look for antique jewelry. Finding some at bargain prices. Wife is in the new Astro movie "The Patient". More movies in the works along with "Emily Of Emerald Hill". Would like to see lower MM2H cost. Mid Valley Mall getting many shoppers. Roads need much work as there as so many pot holes. Will be watching your future videos on visa issues over east. Sounds great.
I love Malaysia. I would love to retire there!
I'll be in Jomtien & Hua Hin April 12-May 4, then Pnom Penh f/ the S.E. Asian Games (SEA)
I’d like to see a video comparing living in Latin America to SE Asia or have you already done one?
We love your idea of doing SE Asia on a circuit with tourist visas, so 3 months in Thailand, 3 months in Vietnam, maybe 6 months in Philippines, 3 months in Bali….and maybe just keep doing that.
We are currently in Matagalpa, and enjoying it, but when our senior dogs are gone ( 15, 15, and 11) we hope to travel a LOT.
Our two main targets are Baguio City and Dalat.
Love your channel. What would be the best time to visit Malaysia? Please let me know
All year. I love it.
Hi Dan. 👋
#ITSMOREFUNINTHEPHILIPPINES
Sound is very bad on this video.
10/10 except for the blurry dot🤓
YOU ALL ARE REALLY INSPIRING! I ENJOY YOU BOTH. QUESTION FOR YOU...WHERE ARE YOU EXTENDING YOUR VISA? IN MALAYSIA AND BANGKOK?
When you arrive, buy a local sim at the airport and put it in your unlocked phone. Then Google, "Immigration office near me." Make sure to read my free eBook: vagabondbuddha.com/fire-your-boss-travel-world/
Do you ever get tired of going to the ocean?
❤❤
Hi Dan and 𝐐iang! Another great video that gets me excited about living overseas as well. Any insight or comments as to how gay couples are accepted in the countries you are recommending? Despite gov't policies, are the citizens fairly tolerant of LGBTQ people that aren't being conspicuous. Thank you!!
My observation is that Thailand is quite tolerable compared to the US though there is still discrimination in the job market. Ladyboys are common employees in 7-11 but not as bank tellers.
Thanks for the insight Martin. :-)
Being from NYC then coming to Vietnam in the mid 1990s to work I have now been retired in Saigon for the last ten years. There is no place I would rather be. That all said… Vietnam does not yet have a retirement visa so for practical purposes retirement is still predicated upon having a citizen spouse like in my case. But if you are lucky enough to find that special person it is still possible to live fairly well at reasonable cost.
Your information about Indonesia visa appears to be outdated. Several websites announced that since December 2022, Indonesia no longer offers retirement visa. Only 'second home visa'. You will need a deposit of 2 billion rupees (about US$ 130.000).
💔😥
It seems you are not correct. The retirement visa still exists (US $18,000), aside from the new “second home visa” with ~$140,000 proof of deposit. The idea is that the second home visa will replace the retirement visa at some point in time.
My plan is to retire in Thailand…hopefully at the age of 45 or so.
GL Jeff! I'll be retired in a month at age 37. Will be slow traveling like Dan since I have no idea where I would want to live long term
@PanayFun yes for that reason I'm probably if I decide to do the slow travel nomadic life my partner would have to be from Japan Malaysia Poland or another strong EU
@@wanderingdoc5075 good luck! I’ll file your UA-cam channel and hopefully in a few years be right there too! Slow traveling Asia seems like the most amazing life experience. Who wants to work til 65 or 67 just to sit at home watching tv? Get out and live! Good luck
@@Exploring_Adventures Love this
Haha you guys obviously don't have kids, life's greatest adventure! Traveling is great but not having a family to share life with would suck. I've travelled a lot but raising kids and now watching them have kids of their own is priceless.
I would like to learn about possible volunteering while I am retired abroad- what could one to fill the day with more purpose than just eating and site seeing?
Just google "Best volunteer places in 'countryname'"
If you haven't been to sri lanka please go there and Check it out
Sri Lanka is wonderful too with Nepal of course
I was just in the Philippines for 2 weeks. I’m glad I visited because it is not for me. Terrible traffic, not very good food for vegetarians, ridiculous bureaucracy everywhere, and at least 30 percent of the locals are still wearing masks.
When a place doesn't feel right. Move on.
Are you sure about the Philippines (up to 36 months with a regular renewal)? Is that just visa on arrival, then extend, extend etc?
Yes
@@VagabondAwake And they don't say anything about it? Is there some sort of 'secret' reason you should list to immigration or just say nothing?
When you arrive, you are given 30 days. At the end of that first 30 days, you can then go to the local immigration office and get your first extension which is also 30 days. At the end of your first 30 day extension, you go back to the local immigration office and get your second extension which can then be extended for up to a total of 36 months in country. At the end of 36 months you need to do a visa run and when you return to the Philippines, you start the entire process all over again.
About the Bali coffee ; I went to the farm and I saw how they torch feeding those poor animals to eat more and more to produce more coffee to pool out. It’s remains me the Hungarian duck liver that is banned in Europe now because of the unethical feeding process.
I’m confused! Are they feeding animals and then using their feces as a food product?!
Omg damn
Dont drink that kind of coffee please, we have numerous other amazing kind of coffees here in Indonesia.
You need to check out the Long Time Retirement Wealthy Pensioner Visa it is good for 10 years, costs 80,000 Bhat and only requires an annual check in.
The Thai Retirement Visa only costs 1,900 baht, and only requires an annual renewal (note that 800,000 baht needs to be held in a Thai bank, but it's your money to use throughout the year with a few proviso's) - it's a real baragain
@@Southeastasiantraveler It’s a good deal…..but some agents actually set up the Visa WITHOUT the need to put up 800k THB. You’d find most retirees do it that way..but the Fee is $1000+ and annual renewals $600. However, it’s illegal & you’re complicent in assisting money launderers wash the 800k thru your account. There’s a crackdown happening at the moment…so beware
@@Southeastasiantraveler I have lived in Thailand for 6 years with an OA visa using the 800,000 baht deposit method and last month I got the 10 year pensioner LTR visa. The 800,000 is your money but is not really available for use to live on. You have to keep the money in your Thai bank 2 months before you apply for an extension, 3 months after and you can draw it down to 400,000 baht for 5 months before you have to replenish it to 800,000 baht for the next extension. You can go to the monthly income method of depositing a minimum of 65,000 baht/month and you can spend that money down to zero each month. I extended my OA myself each year for 1,900 baht so I figure, with travel expenses, that my LTR is about 2x more expensive but I like the peace of mind, not doing 90 day reports, no need for re-entry permits, and no money in the bank requirements. Most people can’t qualify for it anyway but for me it sort of works out.
@@dancooper5741 I just switched from my OA visa, that I extended yearly myself, to an LTR last month. I would say that in the long run an LTR is cheaper than paying a visa agent for 10 years. From what I can gather the use of visa agents may or may not be illegal (immigration offices have a lot of discretion) but you are right to point out that a visa agent is an intermediary and some agents are not reputable. Every year there are a couple of news stories of agents leaving hundreds of expats stranded with fake extension stamps or missing passports. If you choose an agent carefully though it can be pretty safe and is often the preferred method of staying in Thailand long term for people at the lower end of the income ladder or expats that just can’t be bothered with dealing with immigration.
Almost - the 10 year Long Term Retirement visa has four categories, one of which is a pensioner category. I got the pensioner LTR last month. It costs 50,000 baht for 10 years but it requires a pension minimum income of $80,000/year and requires health insurance. You do not have to keep any money in a Thai bank, you do not have to do 90 day reports, you do not need a re-entry permit if you travel out of the country and you get to use the fast track lane at immigration when you return. You do not do 90-day reports but you have to check in if you stay in the country continuously for 1 year. If you travel outside of Thailand at least once per year then you could possibly not report to immigration for 5 years. At 5 years you can extend for another 5 years but you don’t have to pay another 50k baht for the extension.
Is the cost of leaving in Thailand close to the Phili
Yes. Cities are more in both than rural areas.
but , Indonesia is not just Bali
Dammit Vietnam beats them all but only a 30 day visa so I gotta leave Da Lat 😭😭😭💔 I'm heading to the Philippines March 1st 👍 👍 thx Dan and Qiang 👌
Apparently Vietnam does not have a retirement visa and last year they started cracking down on fake business visas.
@@martypoll yeah but I know ppl that have been here for over 4 years 😆
@@philipjanek3864 If you are actually working in VN then a business visa is appropriate. But if a visa agent is getting business visa for retirees who aren't legally employed then that could be a problem or at least an undesirable level of uncertainty.
@@martypoll I've been offered 3 jobs but why work if you're retired 😆
@@philipjanek3864 For a visa if you aren't married to a Vietnamese?
in Bali, 18K.. to put in bank there? or proof? what about SS and pension proof?
I would like to learn more about this as well. We can always do some online research in the meantime. Cheers!
What about vegan places? I am looking for places that have many vegan choices.
I am vegetarian, Qiang eats everything. So all of our reports include something for everyone.
I'm pausing this video after 10 min cause you just said that you are vegetarian and I just became vegetarian or more like vegan a couple months ago so yes Bali is for me ok I will continue to finish watching this video
Is there a Malay Cupid

I can barely hear her. I don't know if it is her mic or she just talks that softly.
Sorry about that.
55 and older dang it. How does a 40 yr old male get a visa in Bali?
Read about the other visas. :-)
Can you speak louder, I can't hear you, please.
Mic problem.
