As a Thai, I really want to suggest any foreigner who plans to live in Thailand, listen to Adam's suggestion. Good content.

I live in Thailand with a retirement visa (over 50). Very good video. I am also with Citibank, now for about 15 years, but they have sold the Thai business to OUB so lets see if that works. I recommend a Thai Bank account, easy for certain payments and QR code payments. Great advice about finding a condo, I did the same thing when I was living in Bangkok.

thats really the questions i had in mind. great episode-.

Great info mate thanks. Great information.

Very informative stuff Keis! X

Great vid and info bro

I came to Thailand for the first time last year without applying for a visa first. I went to Key Visa in Pattaya and paid 57,000 baht (around $1,730 US at the time) for a 12 month volunteer visa, which Darren was able to add 90 days onto since I had just come into the country. No requirements came with it other than the standard 90 reporting to immigration. For renting a condo I'm happy I went through an agent (I used Connerstone, which happens to be right next Key Visa by South Pattaya Big C). Having an agent doesn't cost anything as a renter and it's been very helpful when dealing with any issues that may occur with the condo. For my monthly budget I pay 13,000 baht in rent, around 4,000 in electricity (which seems like a lot), about 150 for water, a minimum of 10,000 goes to massages (including tips), a minimum 15,000 for food (I eat out 3x a day and it's almost always western food), plus miscellaneous expenses like laundry service and toiletries I would guesstimate at around 3,000. So the bare minimum I spend each month is around 45,150 baht or about $1,290 US at the current exchange rate of 35 baht to the dollar. Oh and I bank with Navy Federal Credit Union which refunds my atm fees each month, so I typically take out the max limit whenever I run low on cash and I'm good to go.

You are the man when it comes to how to do Thailand! Tuning in to your content so I can avoid mistakes and make my new life in Thailand worth all the effort to get there...

Thanks for sharing this, rethinking Thailand 😊

thats a really interesting vlog on being an expat here - thanks! 😃

Thanks for the great tips especially with Citi Bank.

Thanks for the comprehensive video. We just visited Thailand so, I really wanna go back

Nice tip on using the Citi bank credit card. However, I'd still recommend opening up a Thai bank account if you plan on staying long term anyways. Some visas even require it. Being able to use the QR code payment system is also very convenient and can limit the need to carry a lot of cash on you while traveling within Thailand.

Thanks a lot for that video! 👍🏾💯 I'm interested in a long term visa like one year, which helps avoid the hassle of multiple runs

Hey Man, cheers for that travel insurance lead, at 6#+, I just bought at about 45% less than a prior company. Oh and pay by the month too.

Moving on august 7th from New York. Went on a solo vacation this summer and it changed my perspective on a lot.

Really well done Adam ... From a fellow Aussie living and married in Pattaya for nearly 20 years ... Keep smiling and watch the puddles hehehe 🤩

Great video and educational. Really good content as always. Looking forward to your KZfaq income video as a lot are.

Thanks ! I will be staying there Long-term soon. I was going to use s wings Ins so if course I will use your Link.👍🏻

I try and plan on moving to Thailand (I'm even taking Thai lessons to help myself out for when I get there) in two or three years since America has became too expensive to live on my own. At the moment I live with my grandparents and I have no other family to help me so I thought my best decision would be to move out of the country. I'm really trying to find the right visa and make sure I can live there long term and not have to worry about going back too soon. This video has helped me, thank you. I plan on doing more research before I decide on anything else.

CITI bank is the best. I chose it because before coming over to Thailand, I noticed that every BKK video I watched,there was a CITI in the background.

Thank you for this video

Thanks for this video mate! One I requested on one of your posts I think lol

The Lofts on Asoke is a great apartment and Im sure you are happy there.

Really craving for that noodle soup you're having at the beginning of your video

Nice one 👍🏼🍻🇦🇺

Adam, how do people subsidise them selves while living in Thailand other than KZfaq videos, if you can do a video based on living and earning whilst in Thailand that would be great cheers mate

You MUST have a Thai bank account if your applying for a retirement visa and are over 50 years old!

You are cool. I am happy that you have a good time.

Most of local markets here including department stores accept QR code of mobile banking, it is more convenient than using cash.

Thanks for the CitiBank tip. I was looking for a Bank that didnt charge.

Hello from Germany ✌️ Such a cool video 😊👍 What happens to the condo in the meantime while you leave to extend the visa? Do you have any vaccinations for e.g. Malaria or something like that? 😊

These are informative videos. Little more info on Visa's maybe . And do safety wings insure people over 60? . Cheers Adam

Ive used my Citibank card to withdrawn money at different atms in Japan without any service charges. Im in Thailand now and if use my Citibank card at any of the major bank atm’s and I get charged 200 baht fee per withdrawal regardless of amount.

Visa run, aka Visa exemption: You are only allowed to stay 90 days in a period of 180 days in Thailand. Since stay with exemption is only allowed 30 days you need at least 2 runs to stay 90 days. Staying longer than these 90 days without a visa is not legal, but often possible, but with a risk...

I live in Thailand and used to do the visa runs, but once I was told by immigration (after about 3 runs), that it was the last one they would allow and to get a long term visa. They marked it up on their computer, so I then went to an agent to get a long term one.

Good content Keiszy- Muathai visa sounds tuff- is there a 20X Leos cant fight the way out of a paperbag visa?555 cheers n beerz Daz

For me it’s Ruhamchitt plaza hotel 👍👍great location cheep as chips pool on the roof happy days interesting sights as well 🥴

Where is the link please you mention at 6 mins on the costings ? Thanks

I've been doing the 60 day covid extension visa. Very popular i think everyone is doing this one...I've done this visa 4 times very easy just go to immigration, don't have to leave the country. This is said to end soon though but they keep extendeding it. Now it's extended tell Aug 25 waiting to see if it's gonna be extended longer.

I wanna live your life and vlog 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

When it's come to Vesa get a agent they talk care every thing and are not expensive

Good info! What other US banks are avaliable there?? Only Citi? Thanks mate 👍

nice to have cash yes, easyer tip and everything, this case u really know where that tip go.

What's the requirements for a (STV) visa? Also they said a foreigner cannot enter into Thailand more than two times out of the year ?

Hi Adam, Great video. I am going to Thailand in June 23 and will be staying in Asok area and do you know any agency that can help me applying for Non-O visa? Thank you.

Used your referral for safety wings x2 ✌️

You forgot to mention the non O Extension legally married a Thai wife option I'm on that cause I'm 47....400,000 in the bank and the usual parerwork very very easy. Living in Thailand since 2006 and I'm a Bronte boy 🇦🇺 🇬🇷

Been using Citibank for years, never understand why people use the currency exchanges for cash.

If you get 60 day visa from your local Thai embassy do you have to wait until day 59 or 60 to apply for 30 day ext at Thai Img of can you do it anytime before 60 day is up ?

Just wondering is it possible to find a furnished place for 3 months or less? I'm reluctant to sign for longer until I know I like living there. Id haye to sign fur a place for a year only to find out I really hate it.

Do you still pay ATM fee - 300 baht using foreign Visa card?

But can you educate us on areas? Nice places to live in Bangkok and why?

Good video on costs and other options. I hate to say but for travel insurance for anyone older it is outrageous on safety wing. Half the price of my airfare for a few months. Unfortunate! Anyone have a suggestion?

are there CITIBANK atms in most major Thailand towns/cities?

Curious why the tape over the F on the shirt.

Where was that sneaker place located

I'm going to pattaya in August 16 for the first time where should I stay

Rent hub has some good places on it for sure. Let’s hope by the end of next year I shall still get a good place in the area I like in bkk .. do you rent privately or through an agent ?

how much do you pay on rent per month? sry i might have missed it

Hi Adam! Great video! I am a hungarian youtuber, I make videos about hungarian topics, and I am thinking of moving to thailand after I am 50. Now I am 45. Is it possible to make money with youtube and being on retirement visa in Thailand? Or is there any other options for youtubers? Thank you very much!

Hey mate do you have to use a citi bank atm to get no charge or can u use any atm in Thailand?

Dude . We met in Pattaya ? Remember when I said are you Keis one ?

hi adam what about the local arm Withdrawal fees as The large majority of banks charge ฿200 (approximately $6) per transaction for withdrawals with a foreign bank card. Some banks such as Aeon Bank charge less, at ฿150 per transaction (approximately $4.50).i know you can walk into a bank and save these fees but more time consuming- cheers

Was quoted 35,000 for 15 month retirement visa and 20,000 per annum thereafter. I think they need to increase the reporting to say 6 months not 3..

Can you fly from Philippines to bangkok without restrictions at all ?

I saw that there is also the Elite visa for 5years/10 years/20 years but you'll have to pay for it

Wow you spend 3k a month? I live in california and I spend around 4k so thats insane! 2k just for my 1 bedroom apartment 🤣🤣🤣. Cant wait to leave the US and live in Asia!

What visa are you on to stay in Thailand tho?

How's inflation going in Thailand, can you still get a proper meal on the street for 40-50 THB?

Thanks for the good info. 😉👍 Won't share your address there... Why not mate? Don't you like being Stalked. 🤣🤣

Hi adam, if I may ask what visa you currently on, majority of options you mentioned are more for short stay e.g. 1-2 years isnt it?

Hi mate. Could you please tell me what citibank account type you have. Also are there many ATMs? Withdrawal fees? Many thanks,

Great tips, out of curiosity how much Baht do you recommend carrying in your wallet based on your experience ?

Please more education Videos Like this

Where is the Safey Wings Insurance link?

Are apartments generally furnished or did you have to buy your own furniture?

most of visas dont allow you to work- and still require you to have an income or savings. If you get caught working - your visa gets cancelled

Can you open a bank account easily ?

It is hot and wet and there are many countries cheaper

everybody should have insurance, becouse if you get sick its going to cost you a arm and leg.

I didnt really get what kind of visa you using, you only said what you did in the beginning from what i understand? Im guessing that the youtube thing make so you can stay as you earn money in the country?(!!!) And if so what is the minimum requirements? Like surely there is a minium amount of money lets say 1000$ each month you need to make? Also when it comes to visa runs, from what i heard you can do it... but you are not guaranteed to get inside again, so its really risky if you dont wanna go home and have sold everything there.

Just got my 60 day visa approved , would you recommend staying in Pattaya or Bangkok? I am trying to explore islands around the country also , which one would be closer ?

39k...w00t!

how do make money of there man do you own your own business

Hoe much do you spend on masking tape for your t-shirt? . . . . I'll see myself out 😂

is that $3k in US dollars?

❤️🔥🙏🤗👏😇🇰🇭🇹🇭👌

My advise would be, never eat yellow snow. Never!

Im gathering your talking AUD $

So how are you able to stay in Thailand so long? Just kidding. Thanks for sharing. Just flew in to Thailand. So jet lagged. Relaxing on the River Kwai.

Honest opinion about budget, never trust people who say they can live for $1k for a month like a king 😎

1st?

3k a month for drinking nealry every day and having fun with some nice girl"friends" hehe, why not :D
