Thank you guys very much , They are building some new one and two bedroom villa not far from Patong over looking the sea that I'm keeping a close eye on. Thanks and I really enjoy the video you guys have been uploading . ( I'm already retired ) So we'll see how things goes ! I really love The View Condominium

We've always heard that you can live in Thailand for $20k per year, but we didn't realize you could live so comfortably. You picked an amazing place to stay at, so bright, quiet, open, and airy. The price and ease of the medical care sounds amazing as well. I definitely see a few months in Thailand in our future!

Thanks for breaking down all the different visa options. I have never lived in a different country for a long period of time so it's helpful to see how that would be possible. I was just talking to my parents about retiring in another country! The villa you rented looks so amazing...I love the big windows and how secluded it feels. The hammock in the front is a nice touch. That's super convenient how most places come furnished. That definitely makes it easier to move from one place to the next.

I work remotely for international orgs and hope that Thailand will come out with a remote worker visa before long.

You're welcome! We loved learning the language and can highly recommend student visas as a great way to stay in the country longer.

Nice to see an honest video about realistic expenses. Most of the other videos I see show how people live on 50K a month. Its an absolute joke as most of the teachers do not even make 40K.

Glad it was helpful! We know people who are able to get their expenses even lower if you can believe it. We just like to eat out too much! Good luck with your Thailand budgeting!

Great Video! Has inflation changed the cost of living much?

@LucasWorldTravel Жыл бұрын

We're not sure. Google says it's increased 5-7%.

Living in Island way more expensive than living in BKK, however u can buy cheap scooter instead of rent it and with cooking at home u can save alot too, Cheers

@LucasWorldTravel 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, we thought about buying a scooter, but decided not to as we still don't know how long we are staying. Thanks for the tips though! We love island life even it is more expensive than the big city.

I am in the USA and currently dating a girl from Thailand. She still has a condo there and if we end up getting married I definitely see myself doing a dual citizenship thing and spending the winters in Thailand.

Not a bad way to go! Wish you the best on your new life in Thailand. You are really going to enjoy it!

oh kay the bill explaination : question answered.. An apartment is pennies compared to the $400+ a month on a house, but I'd sooner opt for house because you get more "Bang4YourBuck" so you've made a wise choice by shelling out a bit more. nicely done!!

How did you go about finding house and is food there organic? Also do the people there speak English? Am 66 and I never been out the USA. I am retired and just now able to travel out the USA. Thank you.

We found this place by word of mouth. Facebook Marketplace is also a good resource to finding place. Our Thai is really not that good, so we handled everything in English. Of course, not all locals speak English, but because tourism is so high most places that you would want to live will have someone speaking English there. Unfortunately very little is advertised as organic in Thailand. There are just a few organic fruits and veggies available. Nonetheless, I think Thailand is a very nice comfortable place to travel and even retire. It's definitely worth a try.
