  1. Everyone want to live in Thailand but don't want to get pay in THB that's all.
    That is the main reason Thais live and work abroad.

    Money work more efficiently in Thailand. Even when you crazily spend in Thailand you still feel worth it.
    To have enough to have upper class lifestyle you much earn 15 time or more than GDP per capita.

  2. You make more you spend more. But your currency stretches further. Problem with Thailand and Philippines is that you can never get the citizenship and you can never own your own place if you're not a citizen. So it is a good trip but what do you do later when you need to settle down !!

  3. Lived there from age 22-32.5 (2008-2018); 36 Now living in San Francisco in a huge Condo (owned at 4mil); I will say, travel when you are young yet, remember, remote work is such a gamble, be careful and remember, invest in yourself and not others especially if you are moving to any other country (you will easily be utilized or "used" as we say in USA); Anyone would have a better life in BKK however also remember, hospitals even internationally acclaimed are super not the same as USA; NOT at the same level as USA. I'd NEVER do dental work there also, so you see, many* give and takes. Lastly yes, speaking Thai is essential. It took me around 2.5 years to get a grasp and around 4.5 years to be able to have full on conversations (I taught so had the opportunity to be in a classroom for a long time (International College), this was before Twitter and Remote Travel etc. I enjoyed your video, I miss that fried chicken with ข้าวเหนียว.

  4. can people please stop promoting for these people from first world countries to move to developing nations just so you guys can live like the riches? this is gentrification and you guys would make the locals suffer because if you move to these nations you're gonna make the cost of their living' higher while they keep earning the same salary just so you first world people enjoy the luxury that these people would never achieve.

  5. I don’t live here because it’s more affordable than Switzerland, but the much slower and more peaceful life it offers me. And it allows me to recover from stroke by just living a good life

  6. OF COURSE they featured the middle aged white guy who loves his better life in Thailand and his Thai fiancé. Bet he doesn’t bother to learn the language because these guys think SE Asia is there to cater to him.

  7. My monthly income is $40,000 per month before tax. I regularly stay in service apartments in Bangkok. The service is second to none. Even if my monthly income was $12,000 I’d still pay the same.
