Most of our time spent was in Phuket but we can compare the cost of living Thailand to other Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia, Bali and Vietnam. We spent time in all of those cities. Would a video like that be useful?
@@GoingFartherTogether i rather recomend you spend time in thailand for couple of month. those vdo are capture the heart of thai people and you can eventually become big just like many. don't have to put everything in one clip. just 2 thing is enough. believe me you can do ton of clip. as far as i see. other country in souteast asia didn't get as much view as in yhailand. i guess beside thai people love this kind of vdo. potential tourist like it as well. and there is 20 million potential tourist come to thailand every year. exagerate the place . exagerate the menu. make it 10 minute clip. and audio in this clip is too long. just put it from time to time brother. anyway. i will rooting for you. i am too lazy to edit vdo. and even too lazy to go outside. so my chanel just stuck at 300 subscriber 🤣🤣
I haven't seen you in about 20 years and stumbled on this video of you and your wife living in excellence. I was so proud to see. From NY Metro District to world traveler while educating and inspiring.. Dope! I'll make sure to do my part to subscribe and support.
Thank you so much! We've seen some very uplifting and kind comments but yours was especially heartfelt. We apreciate the kind words and wish you a wonderful week.
We appreciate you for the love and the support! Stay tuned, we have a couple more videos detailing more about Thailand, and we also have Malaysia and Abu Dhabi coming up after that
This is the first video that I have seen from y'all, I am now subscribed. The content was very good you guys are naturals and are gonna take it real far.
Thank you, it really is, there is a lottttt to do there and there are so many different areas to explore, we were there a month and barely scratched the surface
Thanks for watching! We appreciate the support! 😊 Many more to come. Please let us know what you would like to see more of in future travel/digital nomad videos. 🙏🏾
Love the video and the information on costs. I actually was shocked by the cost of both breakfast AND ESPECIALLY dinner. Much pricier than I expected. The lunch price is what I would expect in Thailand, actually. Look forward to seeing more of your travels. New subscriber.
You're very welcome, as much as we can we're going to make sure to try get all the costs in our videos going forward. We like to mix it up when we go out to eat, we go to more local spots and also visit some of the more pricey touristy spots as well. Plus you'll get to see the full range of how much things can cost. Thank you so much for subscribing!
Yea Bangkok is always a good first stop regardless👌🏾. We didn't get to visit Chang Mai since it was burning season when we visited, we will on our next go around though. And you'll for sure have a great time in Pty, enjoy your trip brother
DJI mics have been an invaluable investment for us! Very easy to use and sync with our devices. And thank you so much for watching and supporting! Making this video and watching it over made us miss it too, we’re definitely going to revisit at some point. What part did you visit?
Thank you so much, it means a lot to hear that. We put a lot of effort into sharing as much good info as we could so we’re glad that you found it useful
You’re going to love it! Let us know if you have any questions or need recommendations. Also, let us know what you would like to see more of in our future travel/nomad videos. 🙏🏾
Hi, nice to meet you. It's hard to pick just one but Thailand and Brazil were our favorites so far. Can't wait til we share those videos but we still have a few countries to upload until we get to that point 🫣
Thailand is such a great place, it's definitely a country we're going to prioritize revisiting. We spent about a week in Bangkok and about a month in Phuket our first go around, what part of Thailand do you recommend we go to next?
PTL sis, a digital nomad is someone who doesn’t live in any one place since they can make their income anywhere in the world via their laptop/phone. We take this opportunity to slowly travel the world as we work
Thank you 🙏🏽, stay tuned for more, we have more Thailand content coming and Malaysia coming up after that. Is there anything in particular or any topics you like to see from these kinds of videos??
I would recommend and encourage it. It has everything you need whether for a short stay or long term stay. Vietnam and Malaysia are two other countries you could consider.
Just found you channel really enjoying it, retiring in 6 months I looked at Thailand, but it would have to be in the mountains, I also have a large dog. Thailand is definitely on my list for a visit.
Thank you and congratulations on the upcoming retirement. Thailand is a great place to visit and spend some time in. & I'm sure there are areas that would accommodate you and your dog. Surprisingly though we didn't see that many while we were there, in Brazil we saw much more.
@@GoingFartherTogether Oh my word so many but anything spiced basil but not not pork. Haven't touch that before entering high school. Their basil rolls with the somewhat sweet sauce is delightful. I would be dangerous to myself in Thailand for sure. 🤣
First off, we missed you! And thank you for coming back and showing so much love, you've been one of our biggest supporters and it isn't unnoticed one bit!!!
Hey I liked you guys content it was real chill and it was nice seeing a black couple. . I would love to hear more about the job you all have if there is something else in addition to RUclips content creation. How do you sustain yourself? With the political climate here I am starting to seriously look into my options. Thank you and I will subscribe right now😊😊
Thank you, that's honestly part of the reason we started this channel, we didn't see too many couples like us when we were researching destinations. But we both work as social media managers, one of us (Irene) manages our GFT brand and the other (Lovan) manages the social media of a tech company. There are many remote jobs like social media management and such, can take a little diligence to find a proper gig but once you do the world is yours to travel.
Hey! I've been living in Phuket (Kamala) for almost four months now, and I have no major complaints. I'm from New York City, and I'm still shocked over the affordability and quality of goods and services, and Phuket is supposed to be the most expensive of the major touristy areas like Chiang Mai, Bangkok and Pattaya.
I love Thailand!! I stayed in Phuket for one week and stayed in Bangkok for one week. It is very cheap to me. I was wondering what’s the name of your condo because I’m thinking in 2025. I want to come and stay for two months. I went in 2019 and I kid you not. I did not want to come back to the United States.
We loved Thailand too, it's definitely a place we want to revisit soon. I updated the description with the link to the listing and I'll leave it here for you as well. And just in case you have any issues copying the link, you can search: D Condo -Top Floor 1BR Studio near Patong/HKT City. www.airbnb.com/rooms/1013232973836611715?source_impression_id=p3_1731787813_P3orwQJzFz_HjUPU
Love this. I'm thinking about moving to Bankok, Thailand and I am also a foodie! The food looks so delicious! I am single. The only thing is I have all of these Black history books and I can't bear to sell them. I don't knw what to do. They are precious to me, especially since they are bannng books in the U.S. I am a newspaper writer.
Thank you for watching, Bangkok is a great spot to enjoy the food and culture. I would suggest finding a place to store your books though, you don't have to give them up! Or maybe donate them to a black organization that would find value or use for them.
@@GoingFartherTogether Do you think I could find an apartment for about $400 a month in Bangkok? I am on Social Security and receive a little over $1500 a month. One thing I was thinking is that if I move to Thailand, I could save some money. Do they have Black expat groups there? Where do you get your hair done?
If you like Rum check out the Chalong Rum factory tour. Leave your bike at home . I went on one of my many trips and it was a good way to spend some time.
Hey man I’m coming to Thialand in march for 8 months but don’t know how to find a condo or anything. Is there a website I goto where I can rent one out ?
I would recommend doing your first couple of weeks on airbnb. While you're in the country you should be able to find locals who are renting out apartments and condos. At our airbnb for instance we saw lots of signs for places that you can rent.
I just found your channel and thanks for showing me Phuket and not just talking about it from your condo. It looks like a pretty place. It is basically hot all year around and can you walk around during the day or is it too hot for that?
You’re welcome! Thailand's average temperature is around 82°F, but temperatures can reach over 105°F during the hottest months. Even during the cooler season, daily highs are usually around 86°F. Rainy season ☔️: May-Oct Cooler season 🍃: Nov-Feb Hot season ☀️🥵: March-May
Thanks for sharing. I would like to know whether it is safe to eat and drink street food or do you need to take something before to prevent upset stomaches?
We didn’t take anything before eating street food but we always travel with activated charcoal and pepto bismal just in case we start having any symptoms though. Definitely a must to travel with that or something similar if you want to try out street food internationally I would say
Thank you for the compliment! In particular I know the restaurant in our video is more expensive than usual since it’s Michelin guided, but aside from that, which expense(s) are you referencing so I can answer you better?
@ well I’ve seen vids by other creators in Pattaya and Bangkok who live in similar condos to your’s for $500-$600 per month. In Pattaya it seems you can get ocean views for that price range. Most of the food they show costs less but it’s usually street vendors or night markets so I understand the lower costs. But the $18 breakfast you guys had seems pretty high. So I’m just wondering if Phuket is more expensive or maybe you are just picking super high end locations? I’m curious because I’m planning to visit Thailand and I love videos that provide cost breakdowns.
Gotcha! Thank you for the extra context, I can answer you much better now. So for rent, if you book direct with locals it can definitely be at a lower price, we booked ours directly through Airbnb (more expensive) since we were only going to be there for a month. But for a longer stay, you can definitely get better places. I would still recommend doing Airbnb first and then go shopping around for a longer term rental. Phuket was more on the pricey side as well, you’ll see higher costs for rent there and food , but honestly it’s the ice coffees that really upped the cost of our breakfast bill, the iced coffees are basically the same price as the meals lol. If you stay seat from western food/drinks, costs are much lower
I look for areas that are just a lil outside of the main area. Grab rides are cheap so it's not as necessary to stay in the more expensive areas that are closer to downtown. There were a few places in that price range when I initially booked too.
Nice! You’ll have a wonderful time. Let us know if you need any recommendations and what you want to see more of in our future videos! 🫶🏾 Thanks for watching!
It was a restaurant just walking distance from the beach, so the prices were much higher there. It was expensive for Thailand but we didn't mind since lunch was so affordable. We didn't film much of it because we were tired after a long day lol. The food and service was very good though.
Phuket is much more expensive than say Pattaya or chaing Mia my first place was phuket 23 years ago I payed 5000 baht rent per month it was 83 thai baht too the £ and it has changed so much with many Russians bringing the prices up
We appreciate you! Stay tuned, we plan to highlight cost of living and prices more in our upcoming videos, we have more Thailand, Malaysia, and Abu Dhabi content on the way
Hey bro, just being honest, I'm not 100% sure, I'm a digital nomad so I didn't look up any blue collar jobs but more than likely if you get the proper long term visa you will likely be able to get one
We're both social media managers and content creators, one of us manages the social media of a tech company and the other manages this account and the rest of our brand
Very good video im planning to moving too Thailand in 2 years im single never marry no kids. America is getting way too expensive. Cant wait to leave and save more $.
Indeed brother, inflation has made the cost of things go out of control. We've been able to save more and live a better quality of life since we left. And the best part is we get to see the world at the same time.
No we didn't, ppl treated us normally which I appreciate. We felt welcome more than anything. During their Songkran festival they even asked us to participate
You’re so right! They didn’t smell weird or anything. Thanks for watching! Also, tell us what part of the digital nomad experience would you like to see more of in our future videos?
To become a digital nomad you would need income that isn’t necessarily tied to working or being in a specific location. We’re both social media managers working from our laptops and phones so we can work from anywhere. Depending on what you do for a living there should be opportunities for you to be able to do that as well. Some careers or skills make that easier to do than others. What do you do for a living?
Hi guys, if you want to know more about Thai food, aside watching Mark Weins, I highly recommend you watch Gary Butler & Joe Parilla channels for best local food.
I enjoyed your video. Can you do a video comparing cost of living in other Thailand cities, like Pattaya, Bangkok, and Chiang Mai. Thanks
Most of our time spent was in Phuket but we can compare the cost of living Thailand to other Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia, Bali and Vietnam. We spent time in all of those cities. Would a video like that be useful?
@@GoingFartherTogether yes!

Very nice, I enjoyed it
Thank you for watching! Let us know what you want to see more of in our future videos! ❤️
How much was the umbrella set up??
It was about $5 iirc
Thanks for sharing. I would like to know whether it is safe to eat and drink street food or do you need to take something before to prevent upset stomaches?
We didn’t take anything before eating street food but we always travel with activated charcoal and pepto bismal just in case we start having any symptoms though. Definitely a must to travel with that or something similar if you want to try out street food internationally I would say
God bless you thank you for sharing.
Thank you, that was heartfelt, and God bless you as well🙏🏽
They so cute
Thank you

Great video! However your costs seem so much higher than other creator’s videos. Is Phuket really that expensive??
Thank you for the compliment! In particular I know the restaurant in our video is more expensive than usual since it’s Michelin guided, but aside from that, which expense(s) are you referencing so I can answer you better?
@ well I’ve seen vids by other creators in Pattaya and Bangkok who live in similar condos to your’s for $500-$600 per month. In Pattaya it seems you can get ocean views for that price range. Most of the food they show costs less but it’s usually street vendors or night markets so I understand the lower costs. But the $18 breakfast you guys had seems pretty high. So I’m just wondering if Phuket is more expensive or maybe you are just picking super high end locations? I’m curious because I’m planning to visit Thailand and I love videos that provide cost breakdowns.
Gotcha! Thank you for the extra context, I can answer you much better now. So for rent, if you book direct with locals it can definitely be at a lower price, we booked ours directly through Airbnb (more expensive) since we were only going to be there for a month. But for a longer stay, you can definitely get better places. I would still recommend doing Airbnb first and then go shopping around for a longer term rental.
Phuket was more on the pricey side as well, you’ll see higher costs for rent there and food , but honestly it’s the ice coffees that really upped the cost of our breakfast bill, the iced coffees are basically the same price as the meals lol. If you stay seat from western food/drinks, costs are much lower
$63 per day per person sounds like more of an American flavor than Thai flavor, but I haven’t been there in 20 years so what do I know
A lot changes in 20 years. But you can absolutely live even more affordably in Thailand than this. We always say do whatever your budget allows for. 😄
But theirs includes a condo rental at $35 a day. You cannot get that in NYC (and at that size).
@@CarlyCarly1636 definitely not, $35 a day couldn't even get you a couch let alone a condo
lovely video:) could you tell us how you find air bnb for 35.00 per night?
I look for areas that are just a lil outside of the main area. Grab rides are cheap so it's not as necessary to stay in the more expensive areas that are closer to downtown. There were a few places in that price range when I initially booked too.
@@GoingFartherTogether okay, thank you:)
@@with-Alice-in-FROMLAND you're welcome and if you ever hav any questions, always feel free to ask

love the video! What are where you guys living in Phuket?
Thank you! We were in the Kathu area. Have you been?
I’ll be in Phuket Dec30-Jan. 2
Nice! You’ll have a wonderful time. Let us know if you need any recommendations and what you want to see more of in our future videos! 🫶🏾 Thanks for watching!
I wanna know what that was yall ate for dinner that cost $46 lol. Just curious, cause it was 5x more than what you paid for lunch.
It was a restaurant just walking distance from the beach, so the prices were much higher there. It was expensive for Thailand but we didn't mind since lunch was so affordable.
We didn't film much of it because we were tired after a long day lol. The food and service was very good though.
How long are the visitor visa for.
They have so many to choose from: 60 days, 90 days and there's a one year visa too
If your staying getaway from Airbnb you can rent a big 2 bedroom for that much
I believe it but since we weren’t staying in Phuket for that long, the convenience and security of Airbnb made sense to me
Phuket is much more expensive than say Pattaya or chaing Mia my first place was phuket 23 years ago I payed 5000 baht rent per month it was 83 thai baht too the £ and it has changed so much with many Russians bringing the prices up
Agreed, in a perfect world we would have went to Chiang Mai but it was burning season when we were traveling in SE Asia so we went south
Would have been nice to see the costs of the first restaurant.
That was our bad, we forgot to put the prices on screen. The total for the 2 iced coffees and the 2 meals was $16.39.
@@lovan_travels Cool thanks for letting me know! that helps. Will sub
We appreciate you! Stay tuned, we plan to highlight cost of living and prices more in our upcoming videos, we have more Thailand, Malaysia, and Abu Dhabi content on the way
The best local cuisine is not necessarily at indoor restaurants. Go to the local outdoor restaurants. support local people, not big businesses
I agree, we visited a few during our time there and they were delicious.
Hey man I was wondering if you can get a physical labor/ blue collar job in Thailand as a foreigner
Hey bro, just being honest, I'm not 100% sure, I'm a digital nomad so I didn't look up any blue collar jobs but more than likely if you get the proper long term visa you will likely be able to get one
@ appreciate it, man
@@SamStandley-f1g gotchu
I have a question where do you find the jobs to a digital nomad
We're both social media managers and content creators, one of us manages the social media of a tech company and the other manages this account and the rest of our brand
Very good video im planning to moving too Thailand in 2 years im single never marry no kids. America is getting way too expensive. Cant wait to leave and save more $.
Indeed brother, inflation has made the cost of things go out of control. We've been able to save more and live a better quality of life since we left. And the best part is we get to see the world at the same time.
@GoingFartherTogether that's what I wanna since I'm a single man.
Did you encounter any prejudices?
No we didn't, ppl treated us normally which I appreciate. We felt welcome more than anything. During their Songkran festival they even asked us to participate
How do you all make income while being Normand’s ?
We're both social media managers. Myself for a media/tech company and my wife for our brand: GoingFartherTogether
I noticed that local market there was so cleaned , I didn't see any sewage water nor garbage .
You’re so right! They didn’t smell weird or anything. Thanks for watching! Also, tell us what part of the digital nomad experience would you like to see more of in our future videos?
@@GoingFartherTogether Please show to us , as you are digital nomad , how can you make money by that ?
@@mrraiarj we both work as social media managers and content creators
how do i become a digital nomad? what kinda jobs does that include?
To become a digital nomad you would need income that isn’t necessarily tied to working or being in a specific location. We’re both social media managers working from our laptops and phones so we can work from anywhere. Depending on what you do for a living there should be opportunities for you to be able to do that as well. Some careers or skills make that easier to do than others. What do you do for a living?
Hi guys, if you want to know more about Thai food, aside watching Mark Weins, I highly recommend you watch Gary Butler & Joe Parilla channels for best local food.
Oh awesome! I'll check them out too👌🏾
Thanks for the recommendations
