    I just discovered your channel through IG and love it!
    Thank you for being so transparent and honest with your budget, you have absolutely no idea how hard it is to find a vlogger who is willing to share with us their budget, and help others to properly plan their finances when taking a sabbatical.
    Thank you so much Paris ❤

    Loving the videos, Omg you havn't lived until you have tried Thai food, honestly, i felt my soul come to life when I discovered it. You will adore it, it is such huge part of their culture and you will really see the difference in your savings when you do start living on local Thai food, omg the Massaman curry made by the little old lady down the street is EVERYTHING!, cant wait to see you try it :) BTW, You're so pretty!

    Paris, thank you for all these details. This is the second video of yours that I've watched. I'm gong to have to go back and watch your previous videos. I appreciate that your details are timely and that you are letting folks learn along with you. My husband and I will be visiting Thailand next year as an exploration trip for our retirement in 2026. I look forward to your videos to help us be as prepared as possible. God Bless you. Yep, trust God and your capabilities. Keep doing you! 🙂

    You should look into getting a free checking account with Schwab or Fidelity. With that free checking account all ATM fees will be reimbursed. I don't travel abroad without it and it allows us to withdraw cash anywhere in the world without the fees.
    Great video!

    I think you're spending more than necessary, in Thailand. 500 for an apartment gets a nice place. Buying some Thai Food makes sense. I've been here 8 years.

    You are there short term correct as you need it to stay long term. Border runs are frowned on, and new rules are basically putting a stop to it. Why are you spending so much cash and not eating at local stalls. Everywhere takes cards outside 711.
