Ohhh i hate water!! and NOW i hate my coffee! (crying) but I look at my coffee cup and tell it " YOUR NOT MY BOSS!!" .. I have to master what goes in and mind over matter and all that good stuff .. but it still sucks!

@@IDKThailand next up. Fuck the clock telling me when to eat 😆

@@DontPaniku OMG, that's so weird, I'm not sure if you joking or not??? Hope I don't get Frank's toe pain! 😆 Thanks for the comment and welcome to the channel.

@@IDKThailand Wish I was kidding. Make sure your watching Dr. Ken Berry, and Dr. Anthony Chafee on youtube. Even if you mess up don't worry about it. Just get back on the wagon the next day.

@@DontPaniku Thats such a weird reaction! I have been watching mostly Dr. Berry. Thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks for the compliment about the video. No, no jacuzzi, maybe you seen the "kiddie pool" side I think. Thank you for the comment! Welcome to the channel. This place is close to Bangkok so about 2.5 hrs from pattaya.

@@IDKThailand Thanks for getting back to me. Good luck with your channel

@@ExploreWithChuckThailand thank you.. see you in other video comments and future videos!

I will hit the notification button so I won't miss your next video

@@ExploreWithChuckThailand awesome 👍 welcome

Hot sauce is absolutely fine. Diet Coke is absolutely fine once in a while as well. dairy is absolutely fine as well as long as it’s full fat. I eat cheese all the time.

Personally, I love Korean barbecue. Lots of different meats and seafood and you grill it yourself.

Be careful with those barbecue pork skewers. They are covered in sugary sauce. Instead, I make waffles out of eggs, cheese, and ground pork skin. They freeze well and you can make sandwiches on them for breakfast.

@@YM-NY wow! Congrats, that's so great !! Tell me, did you eat a lot of Pork and Chicken or only beef? I haven't been able to eat a lot of beef lately. I'm afraid I am doing everything not perfect.. I am trying so hard.

Cool! That's all great news !! Thank you for the comments and welcome to the channel!

@@shellysmith4369 do you mean 400 lbs to 266 lbs?!? No way!! 9 months in .. congrats, awesome job! I'm running into a problem here, I'm eating a lot of leaner meat (chicken mostly), I just can't afford beef right now . I'm so broke this month 😔. But next month I'll be sure to load up on beef. What's been the biggest lesson you've learned so far ? Thanks for the comment and welcome to the channel.

@@IDKThailand I eat mostly beef, eggs and butter. Make sure I get lots of electrolytes. After a month or so and the craving subsided a new mindset kicked. I only put in my face hole what is needed to live and thrive. Things my body can't produce on it's own. I have energy (fat) packed on me to last for a year. I only ingest protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. If I feel hungry this is what my body is asking for not calories.

@@shellysmith4369 what are you doing to get electrolytes? I hope I can get to where your at! I'm just 13 days in .. feeling tired, a little fog headed and peeing like a water fountain!

@@MRS.SammeK works out good right! Everyone is happy! Thank you for the comment. Welcome to the channel 😊

You probably know, can boil the bones to make an excellent beef broth too high in collagen.

@@doriangrey1739 I haven't tried boiling the bones yet but I do want to.. it's in my near future. Thanks for the suggestion and welcome to the channel.

@@lupevaldez3565 ouch! Imagine what you could afford here !! On the bright side,, you have a pool! 😁 Thanks for the comment and welcome to the channel.

I did do SOME preliminary research. I am familiar with him and have watched some of his videos. I do need to get more serious about the research. Thank you for the advice and commenting. I appreciate it!

@@IDKThailand The journey begins, climb that mountain of knowledge and action a step at a time 🙏

@@doriangrey1739 thank you for the encouragement!

@@alexbambam1 hey Alex! Thanks for the comment and encouragement. I'm sure my numbers would read like a bad nutrition label (3 parts sugar + 8 parts carbs + 7 parts unpronounceable ingredients). My plan is to get started and fine tune as I go along.

Thank you for that! Future string bean - hahahaha I am 100% sure no one will EVER call me that in my life time! I haven't "gone out" yet ..that may be a struggle with not drinking anything while out socializing. I haven't really been tempted yet, Wan eats snacks in front of me everyday, but I just started so " the force is strong with this one". I'm ok for starting new things, it's the long term commitment that's always been an issue for me.

@@IDKThailand It ain't easy, it may bcome easier over time? Anyways, I am not a doctor so really cannot advise too much at your weight other than you seem to have a good grasp and great attitude starting 👍

@@smileoften-ft3hq Thanks man! I really appreciate the feedback and support!

I'm still adjusting and learning. I'm still seeing what my body is doing to this significant change. Biggest thing I have noticed so far is now I go pee so often!

@@IDKThailand That's a good start! You will start pee often when you start loosing weight/fat since fat is mostly made of water. That is also the reason it is important to get enough electrolytes/salt to replace the salt you also loose.

Its so hard to add salt for me ... I HATE the taste of salt but ... I'm trying to get more

It is a HUGE adjustment! What is even bigger for me is that I now drink my coffee with NO sugar or Equal!! Now just a touch of powdered milk.. it sucks bad but with progress there has to be sacrifice.

@@Nehayat well, that leaves you plenty of time for planning and research for your perfect retirement.

@@smileoften-ft3hq good idea .. umbrella, sun tan lotion, beers, and Pad Thai

@@IDKThailand good list 👍 Headed to your neck of the woods from Canada mid October. Yup, included is bringing her a hoodie from Canada to wear in the sun 😊 Wishing all well with you and loved ones 🙏

WOW! She will be so shocked and grateful! We'll have to plan the meet-up! Is there a way for us to communicate privately? What communication platform is easiest for you?

@@IDKThailand I use LINE and good ole Gmail

@@smileoften-ft3hq Oh cool .. add my LINE : UNHOLYNUT

@@fastdeliveryl708 actually your taxes aren't so bad I think but yes, expensive in comparison. Thanks for the comment.

@@IDKThailand there not bad but with that money I could leave somewhere else months. thats what im trying to do in the near future . Just rent my home and go somewhere else

@@fastdeliveryl708 not a bad idea. It is do-able! If you have an income stream.

@@josephmatthews4894 hahaha thanks for the comment

says the teenager still living in his parents basement

@@mistermister5560 cool! Did you feel the wind blowing through your hair ?!? Thanks for the comment.

@@nicholas672 really that's not a problem here in THIS house. Once in a while a small 🦎 gets in but that's about it. I see the property management fogs every now and again against mosquitos. Thanks for the question.

There are a lot of good deals to be find if your flexible on location.

I'm no expert! I can suggest you read this article and make a decision based on what's right for you from your research. Look up... CARandDriver.com and the article name: "diesel vs. gasoline: everything you need to know". Start there. Thanks for the question and good luck! Let me know know more when you have additional info!

@@freizeit8117 good guess, not far off. Thanks for watching and the comment.

Thanks for the comment Domey. I think your joking, but I'm not 100% sure if you're just joking. Wildlife IS a concern here. There have TONS of venous snakes and spiders here and they DO like thick vegetation. There's nothing you can do other than keep an eye out and pray one doesn't fall out of a tree into your lap!

This is in Nakhon Pathom, not in Bangkok. About a 30 min. drive west of central Bangkok, at NON-traffic times. There are a million of these places here, it's not so uncommon.

Not a bad idea. I feel, if I owned the house it would be a better long term option.

Thank you, I agree. Thank you for commenting!

hahaha ... she is normal size, I'm just HUGE! I'd agree with you, many work 6 days a week here and need quick, easy, prepared foods to get by the day to day. I CAN NOT buy clothes here. That's a whole separate issue specific to me. Thanks for the comment.

@@IDKThailand my gal is 5'6" and a 146 lb gym rat so and we wear same pant size, however she wouldn't let me wear her clothes 😄 My next trip I can pack a few things for you on one of my back forth trips. Truth is I just find nicer clothes back in Canada ... however I don't go-to place Iike Terminal 21 high end shops as globally priced high.

@@smileoften-ft3hq She wouldn't let you wear them because you only want to wear her lace underwear -- I know your tricks! Let me know if you come, if there is something I REALLY need, I may take you up on that offer. Between shipping cost and import duty/tax, everything I buy and ship here ends up costing me 3 times the price of the actual clothes I bought!

@@IDKThailand all good. I am planning October now and two times next year. Keep you posted. Ok, I like your humour, I bought her clothes and she makes me try them on in the mirror to see how they fit, or, hmmm ... I am a ladies 12 although can get in a 10. Gotta love Thailand, I never thought I would know this 🤣

@@smileoften-ft3hq I have to admit, you knowing what size you are in ladies ... a small cause for concern. When you come I can offer you some free counseling, we'll explore your deep hidden desires and address them with the local entertainment revues! :) I don't know what size I am in ladies but I it would be a MASSIVE size!

I'm happy to hear you found it interesting. Thanks for the feedback once again!

Jomtien is a cool area, I've been there. 3K a month is a perfect amount to live and have a little fun. Sounds like you did it right! I'm sure you miss the foods! Thanks for commenting.

3K USD/month not need be ewer cheap charlie can live very good and comfortable luxury life in Thailand. i go only 1K USD my normal life /month retiree last 14 year in Thailand. first go more but many year not has go lot money, simple good life retiree whit Thai wife we own house.

3k a month here would allow a very comfortable life. I think 2K minimum would be ok, maybe a little less when retired. Thanks for the comment.

​@@IDKThailandhi scott from New Zealand would 8million baht and pension be enough to live in Thailand looking for advice thank you

8 Million baht PLUS a pension!! You can live very good here! There are many factors, like location, size, amenities, but you could buy a condo near the water for 1-2 million and cheaper away from touristy towns. Then depending on other factors, if housing is paid for just spend about another 8-10K Baht a month for utilities. You will have more than enough in my opinion. If you really want serious help, we could arrange a video call and plan it out or at least have a look.

Thank you for watching! Yeah, the food is so good. I also like those little fried potato balls and a whole list of other things!

I have driven from my house to Nana Plaza area in 35 minutes. There wasn't a lot of traffic that day but it can be done. Thanks for the question.

I've never been to Panama so I couldn't speak about any comparisons. There's the normal list of why people like here.. affordability, food, weather, and mobility to explore the rest of Asia. You can get by with English in the touristy areas, outside of that you'll need to learn a few important words. Thanks for the comment.

@@IDKThailand you’re welcome, thank you… I really like the property,

HEY DOMEY! Good to see you here again. Your right, it does smell good, so many different foods being cooked fresh to order. Its a good way to grab a meal and also immerse yourself into the culture.

Wow! Such a compliment. Thank you. I would love to know what it is that you enjoy about my videos in particular. I want to be sure to keep providing that in future videos.

Yes. A 12 month lease. I personally know someone renting out a decent furnished studio in the Jomtien Beach area (Pattaya) at a really nice property for 10K a month with 1 year lease. These prices can always be found.

WOW, such a great compliment. I really appreciate your kind words. I have no idea what the £ is to US dollar .. ok .. hold on -- I'll go look for 1 of my OG subscribers .. ok currently, 1 Pound sterling equals $1.32 United States Dollar ☻ ( 1.) I actually had to go look that up exchange rate (2). I had to research how to make the £ symbol on my computer)

I think compared to back home it is cheap. Electric is MORE but if I factor in all utilities over a years time (more electric here but no heating) then it would be a significant difference in cost. What's really crazy is I'm sure I spend more than the average Thai person (I asked a few people I know, to compare), meaning my monthly expenses are high and could be a lot cheaper if I controlled my usage better. They can live with just fans going.. I die if I'm not with-in eye-shot of an AC unit.

I live in Nakhon Pathom. It's West of Bangkok.

@@IDKThailand Phetchaburi is south of where you're at, maybe an hour or just over an hour.

@@josephcarmichael1344 I was just in Hua Hin recently. You can see I did Hua Hin videos.

@@IDKThailand Yep, I watched them. I actually lived in Hua Hin for a few years before moving to Phetchaburi. Originally from USA, but in Thailand since 2005.

Thanks for watching the videos! I want to go back to Hua Hin and do a better video there. I need to re-do the Night Out video ... sounds like a ligament reason to go out for a night in Hua Hin!

Yeah it was! I think we will be going there again.

@@Oggiwara1 I have driven from my house to the Nana Plaza area is about 30 mins. Of course, that depends on which day and time of day and it was NOT in heavy traffic. I have a car so I drive everywhere. I haven't driven to the airport so I couldn't say off the top of my head but that's on the opposite side of Bangkok to where I am.

@@IDKThailand Thanks for the answer. The reason I asking, is that I have never found a furnitured townhouse for rent on the "Bangkok region" that is okay for me for less than 20 000 Bath on the internet. A few run down ones yes, but no somewhat good quality with somewhat good quality furniture etc. I will retire and move to BKK 2027, but I have been searching over a year now just to learn how the rental market works in Thailand.

This house had the large wooden "couch", bed frames, and clothes closet already there when I moved in, everything else you seen in the video are the things I have accumulated in my almost 4 years living here and belong to me. If you haven't already you could check out 1. Thailand-Property ( i just looked -- enter your requirements and see many suitable properties) 2.DDproperty

@@IDKThailand Thanks for the answer. I have tried them both, but with no luck under 20K. I might have to search different ways. 😊

normally 60 hz. -- from what I have seen it is 50 hz for 220V and 60 hz for 110V -- BUT!! I AM NOT AN ELECTRICAL EXPERT and I could be totally wrong. There are always variations to this and sometimes you just need to look it up to be 100% sure what that country uses normally, but things are generally standardized as it would be impossible for device manufactures to make safe products otherwise.

@@IDKThailand We are "240v" its about 230v really at a targeted 50hz in NZ. I'm no sparky either I ran pipes instead. Old man is a sparky and I spent many years selling li-ion cells so have some idea

well ... thank you for that comment! :)

They are the same ... spirit house .. different people have a slightly different belief. It could be for family members spirits or for good luck for the land or other Buddhist related beliefs. I have a lot to learn about filming still, I'm "stuck" using the starter equipment I currently have until I get enough saved to upgrade. I need a better camera and mic. But, a better computer is definitely needed! I have Fiber .. I'll show my down and up speeds in the next video.

@@IDKThailand What you have works for now. 👍 If your laptop is really old I have found Samsung Dex to be really good on a new ph. Gets you a new camera & PC you just have to buy the peripherals. Or a phone dock (laptop looking thing).

I'll take a look

@@IDKThailand Its a lot cheaper than having extre devices and easier. I used Nextdoc (Uperfect is another good brand) and a S model samsung ph for a laptop for work. A ph gimble, BT mic and a couple of SSDs and you'll be set 👍

It is so climate dependent for food cost. What used to be imported for me back in USA, hence expensive, is grown locally here and cheap.. and vis-versa. So apples are expensive here but mangos are so cheap! Food cost add up quickly here, have to sacrifice quality for price. I'm not sure about electronics, you can buy cheaply made no name brands but.. you get what you pay for. This store is like a restaurant supplier, so prices are pretty good to what's available else where here (not counting the markets that have the meat sitting out all day in the sun ..with flies).
