- Life in Thailand can be simple.. live the life you want and not what you think you're expected to live.
Young family trying to make it work in Thailand. It's not an easy task... We will share the challenges... the up's and down's...
If you have any questions I'm probably not the best person to give you solid advice but I will answer to the best of my knowledge and anything I share i've normally heard from a thai or a well established foreigner so isn't always 100% correct.

I live on a five rai plot on the fringes of our village and surrounded by rice fields with amazing views. We did a one rai pond at the back, putting the house on two rai in the middle with trees and garden out front. It is hard to see the house from the soi. Sixteen years on and I still love the feeling I get looking out everyday. Personally I need mountains or hills to look at a couple kilometers away and I hate walls. We have great trails and a beautiful reservoir within walking distance so I am still able to keep my aging body in relatively good health. Location and environment are very important over time and well worth the investment.
Thanks for the comment, yes its certainly my "dream" at the moment. my mind does race and change a lot but right now I couldn't think of something better! I hope one day in the future im writing similar comments to yourself. Take care!
100% this. What region are you in btw? It's too expensive to buy more than tiny plots in Chiang Mai where I live.
@@HairyPixels I live about 50 km from Chiang Rai town but the roads are great so it doesn't take too long to drive to town.
Your always wiser after the initial introduction to the start of setting up new life in Thailand I've made many mistakes especially financial ones but I'm still here with my wife through thick and thin Move on don't think negative the world's your oyster
I certainly cant disagree with that! Im glad you're here living it!
Loving the drone shots from your new drone 👍
Thanks 👍 appreciate it!
I realized that no matter where I live, I will want to go elsewhere; if I live in the city, I will want to go to the beach; if I live in the city; I will want to go where it is quiet in the middle of nowhere. So when my wife suggested Isaan, a mile or so down the road from the nearest village, I thought that would be perfect. Ultimately for me home winds up being where I go when I just want to take a break, so it makes sense to have that be ‘away from it all’. Fortunately I can be in the city center of Udon Thani or Khon Kaen in about an hour from the front of our plot, while not being someplace that people will knock on the door unannounced very often.
I'm the same mate, no matter were I go ill want to go elsewhere. thats why ive settled in my mind for having multiple properties (small and cheap) but still multiple lol Thanks for watching! Appreciate it
Love the drone footage
Thank you!
Don't panic it was ok. Nice content mate.
Thank you andy, much appreciated!
Drew my advice to you would be this , If you are in a position to buy that 4 rai of land buy it even if it sits there doing nothing for the next 10 years you will never lose money on this investment . I am sure you will be able to buillt that house you desire
I do keep thinking about it! Thanks for the advice I appreciate it!
@@lifeinisan Things can change so rapidly that I have always considered it best to hold off until you are sure and ready to make a move.
Click bait is ok to draw people in as long as followed with a good vlog
Yeah understandable, still need to work on the good vlog part though!
Drones working good
Thank you! Its great fun, only crashed 1 time atm
Great ideas Drew but everything is easier said in hindsight. A lad can dream though, but hopefully if that's what you really want to do, you'll do it eventually.
Thanks Ricky ! A lad can dream for sure!
Had to chuckle when talking about kids throwing stones near the car etc🙏😊
its true though little buggers, stones and sticks !Thanks for watching
dont worry about the comments on click bait too much, if the content wasnt good enough to back the bait the dislike ratio would be higher. enjoy the fun of content creation. im definitely going the large plot route, 5-10 rai, main road. kinda expensive but will be worth in the long run. keep it up drew
Thanks appreciate it, yeah the bigger plot seems like a more sensible plan in my head!
I've watched them all mate, good job. I'm building a small house to in Thailand right now and excited too. 350k/450k is my planned spend.
Thank you! Much appreciated! Yeah that price range is certainly do able and is what I should of done! Good luck with it all!!
Drew you have a new toy. Got a drone? Key to UA-cam make quality videos people what to see. Easier said than done. There are a lot of creators in Thailand. Takes time to build a following. One question I have seen many times. People want to see interviews, hear stories about expats that have moved to Thailand and opened successful business and companies. One of the reason I started watching you. Why discord and not facebook forum. I think facebook is way more popular. Perhaps I am just old school. hahaha
Yeah new toy haha! Yeah easier said than done! Yeah and some dam good ones as well! I will take note of what you said.. Its some good advice / suggestions. Thanks for watching appreciate it!
Great video, each to their own, I have lived on and off in Thailand for 20 years, I am a beach or ocean view person, rural Thailand isn't of much interest to me, I also have seen so many western men get burned by Thai women so I don't really ever seeing myself in a position where I can lose anything due to one of them, in my 20's I was contemplating a similar path to you, but it was short lived, I hope it works out for you lad, I am just risk averse as I get older.
Thank you much appreciated! Thats totally understandable I they certainly do have some great ocean views here!! I also think i'd have a spot near the sea if I had the funds for a 2nd home(price home that would be lol) with Thailand we are so spoilt! I understand the risk part 100%. Wish you all the best

Where exactly are located Drew?
Sakhon Nakhon, would love to share a more accurate location but plenty of interesting characters lurk around videos :)
Hi Drew
I’m thinking of building a home in Beung kung lung.
Can you recommend a builder/contractor around there. 1 million baht limit.
Many thanks. David
Hello David,
I'm a little confused on the area do you mean Bueng Khong Long by any chance?
Thanks for watching!!
@@lifeinisan yes lol.
I dont know of anyone personally but I do know of a good thai guy in the area who might
It’s very normal to do basics UA-cam stuff, you literally shouldn’t be sorry for it. It’s not THAT of a clickbait either. When a UA-camr with 10M+ subscribers does it, it’s okay. But when a small UA-camr does it it’s clickbait?
Thank you for your opinion on the matter. Appreciate it! I get exactly what you're saying
Click bait stuff is cringe
You have to find a happy medium not clickbait but still something that looks half interesting lol thanks for watching
@@lifeinisan yup… bait people in but actually have content to match
Well, i didn't see a sexy girl in the thumbnail, so that was a bonus over most clickbait videos, right?
