After living in Thailand for four years, one thing that stands out to me more than anything: my quality of life is better living here than the U.S.

@MogShade

Retired from the US military at 44yo. I can tell you, without a doubt, that life in Thailand (currently residing in Pattaya - 4 years) is 10X better than living in the US.

I'm living here 17 years, its not all cupcakes and roses. It has vastly improved, but it's not the country comforts you likely enjoy now, but it is safe, there's relatively no opportunity to leagally make money to survive, visa's are not easy unless you work for a company or make a company. You'll always hear the "good stuff" but rarely hear the challenges of lving in Thailand, Philippines, Lao's or cambodia. Just do you Due diligence when making a life changing move. good luck

Your video is on point for sure. I'm a retired UPS driver living in the Eugene area married to a Thai and when we come back from a lengthy trip we seem to be depressed for a while. When she retires one day we will definitely move there permanently. Really can't beat it.

Greetings from Alberta, Canada. I'm a female in my 50s and thinking of leaving Canada due to the politics, extremely high cost of living, and overall unhappiness. Your video was lovely and pointed out so many things that we're missing here. I am definitely looking into this!! Thank you for the insight and inspiration!!

We don't really want to many people knowing this stuff. We don't want it getting to crowded

Greetings from Los Angeles CA. I am Korean/Japanese American and I have 7 more years until retirement. Thinking about traveling in Thailand/Korea/Japan/Vietnam after retirement, where my dollar will go farther and much safer than Los Angeles with all the crime and homelessness. Thank you for the video.

I can only agree with you again and again, I just spoke about these exact points with my Thai friend. I've been living in Bangkok for 6 years, alternately in Malaysia when I'm fed up with the city. It's a dream life and I'm so grateful every day that I get to experience it here. I live much healthier than at home in Germany, have lost 35 kilos, do sports, swimming and massage every day. What a dream ❤ And dont forget the beautiful girls everywhere... 😄

I am Thai, had lived in California for years. I had a good life there, but still living in Thailand is much better. I am not paying $5.99 a pack for chicken , I am paying $3 for 2 lbs. of organic boneless chicken breast. I like walking on streets and see healthy looking people, see smile, it improves my life. The cost of living here is less than in the us. I know it is increasing but still better.

Safer and cheaper!

Greetings from Jomtien Philip. Great video. I retired here, at age 64, 2 1/2 months ago. It was a whirlwind at first....overcoming jetlag (from US), getting my retirement visa. Bank account. A pool villa rented for a year, wifi, gym membership, setting up my new household (I brought nothing but a backpack and 2 suitcases. I sold everything else in the US). The factor that most resonated with me was the lack of consumerism. I left Palm Beach County, Florida. One of the most materialistic places I've ever been. Ostentatious display of wealth. People who should know better (older people) caught up in ostentatious display of their wealth and their obsession with keeping up appearances.

@alextay2543

As a Singaporean..been travelling to Thailand multiple times..my retired age will be living in Thailand.. it make me more alife like a real human being

@alans.philippines

I have found both the Thai and Filipino culture offer us a new world of peace and tranquility that we just can’t believe

@kiwi1thailand-gg8xe

great points, I just returned from Orange County, CA after living here 3 years, omg the change was unbelievable, I was trying to save money so staying in motels, very dodgy, the police have given up,the homeless (who I feel sorry for because it was frezzin cold)the drugs, living costs etc everything you mentioned, I lasted 6 weeks, quit my storage unit,which was costing 14,000baht per month to hold on too junk I dont need .sold old my old car, quit usa permanently. moved back to Phrae ,a farming province in NE Thailand, living the simple happy life I smiled all the way through your clip ,because I feel exactly the same. always welcome to visit Phrae and do a clip on this beautiful province not visited much by tourists. cheers

I agree with everything on your checklist. The quality of life in Thailand is hard to beat. I'm finally retiring next month and will be moving to Thailand in June.

The value I received from this video alone was 100x... thanks for sharing this information

@davidbuckley9307

Loved the vid, you look so happy with your life and the people around you. Contentment right there. Long may it continue for you

@writeronthestormkyushu565

Just subscribed to your channel. I am retiring after a career in teaching and moving to Prachuap Khiri Khan near Hua Hin in June. You mentioned things feel "heavy" in America. I love America, but I am ready to lighten the load, too. There is this feeling of mental exhaustion that is hard to explain. Love your energy and honesty and so happy to be a subscriber now.
