I am living at Bang Saray Beach 10km from Pattaya .. a quieter beach community .. $300 a month with a private beach most people don't know is there 100 meters from my condo .. full amenities gym etc .. I love Thailand for it's kind culture, beautiful islands and beaches , and super low cost of living .. been here 10 years now .. would never step foot in USA ever again

Imagine living in a country with no mass shootings, no politics, no hate culture, no woke stuff, just a lifestyle focused on eating, beaches, exploring, intimacy, and experience.

That condo is beyond awesome. Thank you for sharing that with the world. I am definitely putting Thailand on my short list for retirement options. Keep up the good work.

Thailand is the most beautiful country I've ever visited !! I continue to return as I love the kind people, the food and the prices. Go one time and you will be back.

Just wanted to say that's for keeping it real with us. Lots of other YTers are showing up 1500 dollar a month condos and 300k houses and while they are still a deal compared to the states let's be honest, no one is moving halfway around the world to pay those prices, at least not the majority of us. Keep doing what you're doing brother

Bro, thank you SO MUCH FOR DOCUMENTING THIS! This is really exciting! I’m in your same predicament…no spouse, no kids…so watching this makes me feel like I can do ANYTHING‼️🤗🤗🤗 I can’t wait to get my debts paid off & start exploring some options! PLEASE keep sharing your incredible journey and inspiring us! YAY!

Absolute Stunning , my favorite spot would be in that cozy corner on the balcony looking over the peaceful Ness and taking in the serenity and the beauty of the water , it's perfect size space , add a bit of greenery will make it sooo cozy and homey, great job on your interior.

My eyes kept bugging out looking at the condo you're living in. From the outside view to all that you showed us and, yes, looks very high end amenities. Great find! Also a new subscriber. Thank you for making these videos! Unbelievable that rent and everything from massages, food etc. is so affordable. I'll continue to watch! .

I just found your channel and watched your first video and then this one right after and...oh my, what a few months' rest, stress-free and job-free, and some sun can do! You are glowing!! Really glad to see this adventure is going well for you and you are being rewarded for you courage. Keep it up!

Thanks for the tour. I lived in Thailand in 1971. I went to Pattaya several times. Boy has it grown. It was just a small beach town. No hi rises at all. Would love to go back.

This is beautiful for the price! The small kitchen wouldn't bother me since I'm not into cooking. The views and amenities are great! And you've done a good job personalizing it a bit and increasing some storage.

Just WOW!! The price is unbelievable and All it’s luxury….thank you for sharing this as its very inspiring to live outside the US indeed🥰

Great video with an enjoyable, easy going style delivery. Beautiful condo, great location and exceptional value - I would prefer something a little larger though with the bedroom separate from the living accommodation. Thank you for showing us.

Hey I hope your channel grows. I'm seriously considering moving and retiring from the USA. Currently 35 years old and hoping to make something happen in the next 5 years. Tired of the rat race and the current state of our country. Excited to see where you go!

Its Beautiful and serene. I was stationed in San Antonio/San Miguel Philippines, in the early 80s, so was leaning that way. But many have told me look at Thailand...Its Gorgeous. Thank you.

Wow, what a steal! Your place looks amazing and affordable. Living the dream in Pattaya! Thanks for the tour.

Great condo review. My wife and I have been traveling full time for the past year. We have been in SE Asia since November and plan on staying a bit in Pattaya. Your video has given us another inexpensive option for housing. Thanks.

For 280 a month, you can't beat it. Recently saw an apartment in NYC that was a joke for 2K a month. Good luck.

I wish you peace and happiness. You seem to be a rather chill dude. Well done.

Wow. That is amazing. Freezing over here in Wyoming for about 3 times as much per month as your condo. It's gonna start warming up here soon. I'm happily married and retired, so if anything we'd have to vacation for a couple of weeks. Awesome apartment and beautiful view and workout room, swimming pool, jacuzzi. You're living the life of Riley my friend. Enjoy.

I like those spots outside the main area of Pattaya, cosy beach , jomtien , naklua , pratumnak hill , many people seem to make a decision that Pattaya isn’t for them after a quick visit to the main area and the stereotypical perception of Pattaya . There is more than meets the eye if you venture out that bit further and look around Nice pad .

I would have to say “ Your condo apartment would have to be the best that I have ever seen in regards to location , quality and price , and I have watched over 1000 of these kinds of videos . So well done mate, and thank you for showing us your condo . You truly are living the dream 🇨🇷😍👍

I would never leave this place !!! It’s perfect !!!❤

Thank you for this!!! It looks so cozy! I love your story. Going to go back and see your previous videos!

I've lived in Thailand since 2006 and be travelling here for over 20 years prior to that so I can assure you that this would even be a great deal back in the late 90's. That balcony (and the common areas) will be awesome viewing once the wet arrives again. Well done and enjoy :)

I’ll sum up this video with one word, unbelievable! Just booked my flight this afternoon. In about 3 weeks, my life in Thailand will begin! What you’ve shown us is a phenomenal option for a home base; just remarkable. Our paths may very well cross. And, I completely agree with your take on the direction of the U.S. Of course, I’ve not only “Liked” this video - I’ve also “Subscribed”! If you’re able, please let me know how I can see your other videos. Thanks for a “real and down-to-Earth” glimpse into your life - in what I pray will be the final chapter in my life. My best, RonR

First time to your channel and love it. I find seeing how other areas of the world are and very impressed with your condo. No extra for amenities...Wow!! Enjoy your life and keep sending those beautiful pics.

Hey, nice to meet you - great video you've put together here, and as you seem fairly new to Thailand, can't wait to see how things pan out for you. You've got a great set-up there for the price, I'm sure you're going to have a blast - wondering if you'll ever move on from Thailand 🤪 I remember the first time I went to Thailand in 2003, had a round the world ticket, supposedly a three month trip. After a few weeks in Phuket I ripped the ticket up and spent the entire three months in Thailand, before returning home and quitting my job 6 months later then returning to Thailand where I have lived on and off ever since 👍

Really inspirational videos. The first one you posted sounded like you were describing my life. Congratulations on your move. I’m in the process of doing the same. “Escaping one’s mundane life”. Although I’m keeping my remote job as a safety net. I might see around Pattaya 😁.

We need honesty like this… keep this info coming

Lived in that building for 3 years, still have some friends there. Cosy Beach is the best area in Bang Lamung. Still miss it, we'll be back soon. Thanks for the video and nostalgia vibes. Aloha

Very thorough and well presented tour. I can’t believe how cheap it is 👍

We had many stopovers at Pattaya Beach while in the Navy. Our ships would be anchored and small boats would pick us up and literally drop us off on the shoreline. I absolutely loved Pattaya Beach; didn't know it was so affordable to rent. Thanks

Perfect use of space in that condo. Love the balcony!!

Beautiful! And,the best value I've seen anywhere. Thanks!

Good stuff! I used to pass that place all the time. Thanks for showing me what it looks like inside.

this was my first watch on your channel and I am very impressed. I loved how you take the time to pan out the environment. I really got a full sense of what to expect. Thoroughly enjoyed this and looking forward to more. Will you be covering ideal night spots in Pattaya as well?

Watching from the Caribbean, always wanted to visit Thailand, thanks for. The video, it's wonderful 🙏❤️

I had 6.5yrs living and working in Thailand, mainly Phuket, Bangkok, Chaing Mai. Wonderful. I really like thye friendly people, food and environment. Now im planning to get back to Thailand, perhaps Pattaya area, sorting out my retirement plans (from New Zealand). Costs look very good value & quality of condo apartments appears very good, comfortable with good facilities.

Thailand is absolutely gorgeous! You can live in luxury in a lot of cities for a very cheap price, and the fruits and vegetables there are sooooooooo delicious! You can even get high-end silk here for dirt cheap. I’m so glad you’re enjoying yourself.

Just moved from Pattaya last month .. We are in the Rayong area now ... But for the last 2 years we were in Pattaya and it was an amazing time! But now since everyone is back its just way to crazy! To many people ... I am sure you been to Koh Larn by now but for that last 2 years that has been our favorite island to go to since it was nice a quiet lol Enjoy the thai life and hope that you get to explore more of Thailand :)

You are right, many high end features, great view and very good location for a low price point.

Hey thanks for the recommendation. I now know where I'm going. That apartment condo is booked solid till mid May '23 and the rate is now $30 a day instead of $10 (through a booking site) but that's still hell of a deal and beats the cost of hotels of comparable standard in Thailand.

I lived and worked in Thailand for five years...and miss it to this day 12 years later...The medical is A+ too! The fresh fruits and vegetables, the WONDERFUL people and the low costs for everything! The number of delicious available restaurants makes having big kitchens unnecessary...The shopping malls...You really don't need to bring much of anything with you on the plane...It's all here! I do wish that I had decided to simply retire there and live out my life. there...Oh, how I miss it!

280 dollars.. you got an amazing deal. these condos in beach view are usually double that. 450 to 500 a month. which is still a good deal. but 280!! WOW... incredible... did you go through a local realtor or an online site?

Wow you're living the dream! Thank you for sharing all the beauty and hacks 😀

Awesome work man !! Beautiful !!

Love the facilities in the building, be nice to see a $500 condo in a similar building.

That has to be the best deal in Pattaya. Your condo is the ultimate bachelor pad, love the whole dark color scheme too. I'm coming to Pattaya in a few weeks from the U.S. myself and paying crazy hotel rates ..

I love this video. If i didn't have my young son, I would be there in a minute. Good move on your part. The USA hasn't changed and I feel the same way you did when you moved. Thanks for sharing. I love your decorating.

I think it’s a perfect homely feel place for you. Well done bro. Home you have many happy moments in your home. Bravo bro and thanks for sharing ❤🎉

Would like to see a full one bedroom if possible. We have been living in the Mayan Riviera in Mexico for 2 years and thinking of trying Thailand next. Our story is very much like yours. Gracias!

Hey mate, I recently discovered your video's, and subscribed. Lately I've been wanting to quit my long term job, sell everything and take an adventure around Asia. I really love Thailand. My only issue is, I don't have a house to sell. So my funds wouldn't allow me to travel beyond 12 month's without an income. All the best for your adventure.

Amazing apartment .. love the pool and sauna .. especially the hot tube

Very nice, I visited July 23, now I'm ready to return and stay, excellent price. Thanks

That’s an amazing condo for only $280 !!! Wow … very modern and clean. U did good on the decor too👍🏼

Nice building, nice layout for a studio and great amenities. I can eat cheap in Thailand and don't drink or have health problems. I believe I could get by just fine on 1000$ a month over there. My plan is to buy a similar condo in jomtien so I'll never need to worry about rent. Great video, I hope you stick around! I'll be in Pattaya Jan 25th for about a month...

great vid dude. glad you're happy!

Great video, nice spot, Thanks for showing. Aways looking for reasonable condos, this is a good one. Enjoy

Instant subscribe! This is a great apt video after horrible ones from other KZfaqrs claiming expensive condos in THAILAND from foreigners 😤 Makes zero sense. But this is spot on price versus quality. Thanks for allowing us in your home this is amazing. I’m currently in Colombia and pay 4x what you do for LESS quality and days away from the nearest beach. Im from New York. Just curious how’s the WiFi inside your apartment

That is a truly amazing apartment especially for the money. It is nicely done, and a balcony with a great view. All just a stroll from the beach. As for the mattress, beds in Thailand often are hard which is ok if you are a slight build, but less so otherwise. I would buy a magic foam mattress topper 3 to 4 cm. Keeps it clean, and makes a huge difference to a hard. Look forward to seeing your continued journey.

awesome bro I'm coming there after Mexico thx to your video!! thank u!

Wow it's a gorgeous studio with pool views etc. Amazing price

We did the same. Sold our home and business and moved to Canada. After 7 years we were sick of Canada and moved to Mexico to live and vlog full-time. I definitely will be checking out Thailand in the near future. Great condo and even better price.

Hi Sean, may I asked how did you managed to stay in Thailand? I mean what visa options did you obtain.. thank you and I respect you in taking the big step to live your life..

Ok! Now you got me really thinking!

Great video. Unbelievable value. Thanks for posting .

I just did the same thing. I'm living in Wongamat. I love the north end of Pattaya. I found a room for $343mo. Seaview from the 24th floor. 300m to the beach. This place is awesome!

I worked in a male state prison in the US where I caught a virus and now have a chronic heart condition. I retired earlier than I would have liked but it forced me to reevaluate my life. Living abroad has always been something I’d love to do. Thank you for the very inspirational video. I may actually do it at some point as I’m very disgusted with the state of the USA. I also feel the cost of living in the states is horrible. Keep doing what you are doing! ❤️🙂

This place looks beautiful, thanks for the video

Very nice condo and the view is incredible along with the amenities! Great video! Please keep up the good the great job! I’m thinking about this place! Good luck!

lovely home. Always amazes me how little you actually need to live a great life in a fantastic country. Eating out is so cheap the kitchen may not see much of the magic.😜 Already looking forward to getting back to Pattaya next month. Do you use the Bolt app to get you to & from central Pattaya? 😃

Congrats to you... I think we have almost the exact same storyline. I, was in your same position, and had a home in Arizona, where it looks like yours is the same exact style as mine was... retired, Busted up from my marriage, and I moved to the Dominican Republic, 3 years ago at 50... I took a trip to pataya, last September, and I'm going back in 18 days to seriously consider a move there... I was impressed, THAT much. I'll be there 45 days, to be solid, on my decision to make the move... I'm going to stay in the Pratumnak area this time, just to get a feel for it..good luck to you

I'll be checking this place next time I'm there. Thanks for showing.

I think it was great. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I appreciate it.

Wow, Pattaya has grown a lot since the early 90's. Because of work, I lived in Pattaya for over two years from 90 to 93 and loved it. Back then, Pattaya was a much smaller city. I rented an ocean view condo half a block from the beach with a windsurfing rental just down the street (I'm an avid windsurfer ). It's also very close to the main nightlife area and restaurants. Spent some of the best time of my life there, not doubt!

You are totally stylin'. Gorgeous condo with ocean views. I mean what's not to like? I hear the local markets are full of good, inexpensive fare as well. With prices rising like crazy here in Vancouver it's not gonna be too long before I decide to hop on a jumbo and join ya. Also I've been watching other viddies similar to yours and pretty much every one talks about how friendly the Thai people are. Guess I'm talking myself right into a new life in SE Asia!!! All the best from Canada and hope to see more of your new life in Thailand. See ya. 👍

First things I like are your matching furnitures!😍 Especially black couch and the little cute dining set. Your condo very cleaned and well organized, make the small spaces looking roomy. Great jobs! I also like your vdo too. You gave a very completed information. Thank you for sharing this. I'm going to visit Thailand soon. If not because of covid, I'm already there!😁👍👍

Fantastic, have fun bro!!!

I'm very impressed by the indoors facilities! When I feel gloomy and engage in a bit of escapism, I often think about what I'll do when I've won a huge lottery ticket... and while it is hardly very serious, the features I'd have in my house once I'm a billionaire are basically a perfect match with what you get here: pool with view, jaccuzi, sauna, gym room, pool table, and ping-pong table..! The downside would be I'd feel like such an asshole if I devoted so many resources just to myself, and the insanity of having all this for one person would seriously bother me. But here, because so many people share, I am sure I would enjoy myself. The outdoors (that little seating group shown in the beginning of the video) and the apartment itself... were less enticing to me. But still good. All in all this, to me, simply is *incredible* value for $280 a month. At the moment I feel a bit like it might be time to actually think seriously about leaving the rat race behind and find a way to make life enjoyable. Moving to Thailand for sure would come with many new problems and challenges, but at first glance at least, it also seems like a real opportunity that I need to learn much more about.

Your condo is very nice. Welcome to Pattaya. Take time to learn about the city and its people. Remember not only Thai people but also many foreigners from various countries live here. Don't be too crazy about the nighttime of Pattaya.

JESUS CHRIST!!!!!! Such a beautiful Condo. Great Unit and insanely phenomenal views!!!! Great Video my brother. WOW!!!!!

SERIOUSLY....This is looking fantastic for my twilight years... not long to go 🎉😊

Hi Shawn, hope I spelled your name correctly. Congratulations on securing that very nice condo in Pattaya Thailand. As difficult it probably was to close your life in America, it looks like you made a great decision. Don't know if you plan to visit the Philippines but it seems like a lot of people really enjoy the Philippines as well. Just subscribed and wishing you all the best on your new adventures.

I'd be interested to see a breakdown of your monthly expenses and how much it costs with food etc.

Very nice video and music to go along with it. Pattaya here I come!

Awesome! Man I seeking the same life style. Thanks man for sharing. Best of luck to you.

Thank you for sharing your condo with us. I too feel like the United States is getting worse socially, financially and I also feel like its not comfortable for minorities in the future. I will retire in about 4 years and I want to relocate to a country where I can live comfortable and enjoy retirement without the worries of the uncertainty of the United States. I do plan on visiting Pattaya as well for about a month. This has been on my mind for about the last 4 years . Thanks again for sharing!

Beside Thailand, you can explore Taiwan as well. Rent and living expenses are quite reasonable there as well. Taipei is safe, cool and very convenient.

I am also in your predicament! Thanks for posting this and I am looking forward to your channel!

Good Video, no fluff just solid stuff , thank you !!

Great video. Did you use a real estate agent to find your condo? Thanks

Wow, awesome condo! This video came up in my feed because I was considering teaching English in Thailand but I wasn't familiar with this city. I love the beach so this city seems like it would be a good fit. I'd love to hear more about other living expenses and maybe some culture shocks. I've never been to an Asian country. When looking for apartments in the States, a washer and dryer is usually essential so that makes me a little nervous that I might not find these there. Also, are all the apartments studios or do some have a separate bedroom? Studio apartments kind of make me feel like I'm living in a hotel but, other than that, this apartment is great! What you pay for in a year there, you could pay for in a month here (in certain states)! That's really sad (for us Americans).

Awesome. Thanks very much for sharing your Amazing Adventure. Can't wait. Asap.

Thanks for taking the time awesome video.

Which Visa did you get? If you could make a video discussing your Visa situation and how much it cost that would be great

Wow what a deal, you have me seriously considering leaving the Philippines and heading to Thailand when my lease is up!

Love it! Thanks for sharing

Absolutely amazing!

That looks like a really nice place! We also sold everything to travel a couple of years ago, although we had to stay in Canada, other than a couple of short vacations. We just spent 6 weeks in Bangkok, and we're now in Da Nang, Vietnam for the month of January. We've subscribed (#234), so that we can follow along on your adventures. Cheers :)
