Thinking of moving to Thailand? Watch this first.

Video Overview & Insights

Moving or retiring to Thailand? Like the cost of living that you read about? Thailand may not be what you're looking for. Or is it?

I’m moving here to live with my family and generally leave all the bs in America after I get my bachelor degree

What he is not telling you is that Thailand will accept felons from all over the world. Murderers, violent criminals, psychopaths, rapists, child molesters; you name it they are there. All I’m saying is be careful because you don’t know who you’re dealing with. A lot of ex-pats that live there are alcoholics and addicted to drugs and a lot of them don’t have money to support their habit. So if they befriend you, you will be responsible for maintaining their habits.

ehhhh I’ve been a fed for DHS since I was 20 years old. I’ll probably retire close to or at 50 with 30 years of fed service. My pension will be about $6,200/mo take home after paying fed taxes and health insurance. I will also have close to 2 million in my TSP along with an estimated growth on my ETF at $350k-$400k. I’m not worried I don’t believe this video applies to people in my position at all. I’ve been there multiple times every year for many now. The problem is most men do not have hobbies. I have many.

Thank you. I been Thailand 3 times over the last year. From someone who struggles with depression I felt so much better over there. I am 34 from UK. How would I apply for a visa to move there.

The Va just gave me a lone in at this age not too old but upper 50 . I do not think I want to buy a house at this age . I am planing to take my dog and will move to Thailand this summer . I guess I just go back to USA when I have VA appointment . I do not want to work anymore . I need healing , peace and relaxing. I have my VA disability’s. I think I should be fine but my money will go to saving many street dogs . That is the reason I hate about Thailand . My heart just feel so sad and I am not sure I will be real relax and happy . I am dual citizens .

hmm, it´s 50/50. Changing environment changes you a bit and in some cases fixes some of you issues. It actually happens.

50% of Americans who live in Thailand must have a YouTube channel because when I travel around there really aren't many Americans..

The video itself has good content and is informative, but it’s still striking how narrow the dominant expat narrative in Thailand is. Much of the visible expat scene revolves around men moving there primarily to find younger partners. Whether good or bad, this framing creates a limited picture of expat life and can be off-putting for those interested in broader experiences.

If someone moving to Thailand because you expect the women to be better than western white women, perhaps they need to take a closer look at their own behaviours that cause them difficulty.

More and more I hear those stories when older guys come to Thailand in search of wife. After finding one, that guy ends up totally broke with his wife taking everything.

I feel like none of this advice applied to me. I live in NY, I'm frugal with money, the people I associate with and I don't have any dependents or close relatives. The scenarios and people described sounds like individuals who don't have any common sense or self control. I'll take that as a good sign that I'm making the right decision to go with this move

Greetings and thank you for this video.
2:17 While that first point is not actually related to Thailand it definitely is very important when it comes to migrating and not just when it comes to migrating to another country. Over here in Germany we have masses of folks who move from big cities to the country and they are often completely shocked by how life is there. Because living in a village with a 100 to 500 citizens is usually not the quite live that many expect. I remember having seen a sign in some small village where someone wrote: "If you don't want to hear or see animals mating, don't move here. They do so quite often. So get along or back off. This is the country not a resort."

Thailand is a great place to visit and live. I have been here over 10 years. People are so lovely. No aggression here. Please don't bring your problems to Thailand.

@arkadeyellow2931

Thats how it is in Florida.
Everyone does crazy shit and usually its someone that isnt from here.
I used to say “the sun bakes their brains when they arent used to it” but i think it is more to do with what you were talking about.

Well done that guy. Only thing missing is the proverbial 'You always bring yourself with you'. If you're not prepared to adapt - then go back to what you exited from......

I'm planning on visiting Thailand in Novemer this year, as a tourist. 3 weeks at the start of November. Didn't realize the rain season for Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. Should I scrap them and do Koh Lanta and Phi Phi instead or keep my itinerary instead? Was hoping to participate in the Half Moon festival on KP initially. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

TOO MANY FARANG (with and without backpacks) driving up costs, committing crimes, arrogant attitudes, and disrespecting local laws and customs. LEAVE. Just like Asians being discriminated in Europe and United Slums.

Apparently women don't move there to meet men. It is never ever talked about. It's always men looking for women

I first went to Thailand in 2002 when there were few Falang. Those were the days. Now it's filled with losers and Youtubers, many of which are also losers.

Your first point is paramount I think. Thank you for bringing it up. The thai people deserve the best immigrants, not people who think they can get away with anything and behave like pigs.
