I’m coming to Bangkok Thailand on January 30, 2025. I will be coming first for a short trip for about 2 1/2 months. I am black American woman, 64 year-old retired educator. I would like to get some more information especially once I get there on finding short term, living and possibly long-term living when I return.
Ive watched a plethora of videos on ExpatLife , for I am counting down the days we all leave America. The beauty is my wife was born and raised in Malaysia, with family in Thailand, Singapore and on the island of Penang Malaysia.. Once I'm done with Medical school we OUT!
Love the new hair color ❤…also get the guide it’s so worth it for anyone who is serious about doing the move! If you’re like me and want a guide with real life information I highly suggest it. Reading it you can tell she wanted to be really helpful and not just sell you something! There was no gate keeping at all full transparency in my opinion! If you have anxiety like me and want to prepare ahead of time get it!
By the way the DTV is often mistranslated as a Digital Nomad visa when it's not. DTV = Destination Thailand Visa, doesn't require a job or remote work. You simply have to have 500,000 baht available and show bank statement etc. That's approx $14.6k USD. You show that amt each 180 days if you renew and pay the fee again.
for those who live in bangkok looking for big size or plus size clothes and shoes you may find them in pratunam area, to be precise Platinum mall. earlier there were shops selling big size all kind of shoes even high heels opposite siam paragon for ladies with bigger feet and drags but i believe they already gone after renovating the building. hope this can give some idea
Wow, this video was incredibly insightful! I loved how you broke down the key points in an easy-to-understand way. My family and I are also moving to Thailand next month!!
Thank you so much for this informative vlog. Making my first vacation trip to Southeast Asia (Thsiland, Bali, &Vietnam) but also considering places for my retirement spot.
I truly appreciated this video! So informative, especially with the things I had no idea were illegal 😅. I'm so looking forward to taking this leap because the journey awaits 🎉!! Yassss! Lol!
I just want to say thank you so much for being an inspiration in my life, your videos are very informative and I’m grateful and happy to have came across your videos Watching your videos confirmed a lot of things that I have been wanting to do for years And didn’t know that they were possible I appreciate you and the information that you are sharing you are very much appreciated. Enjoy.❤️😇!
I have an appointment with a doctor on February 5, 2025 at the 4:28 Bangkok 9 Hospital. I have an appointment to to possibly a stem cell/plasma treatment for my right knee that needs a knee replacement. Do you know anything about this hospital?
Hello. Bangkok is a great city IMO. Feel free to schedule a call with me here meet.brevo.com/antoinette-yvonne :-) I also have a Comprehensive Guide to Moving to Bangkok if you feel inclined here 79be-contact.systeme.io/comp-guide-to-bangkok
Antoinette, you are so awesome and amazing. You're a high vibration woman. And that is not a pun on Thailand's illegal contraband. However, a good back Edit: (manager) massager is a good cover.🤭 I hope that made sense.😅 Anyway, as I was saying...if I was to move to Thailand, I believe your tutelage would be the best resource. You are so thorough. Thank you for giving us options. Glad to see you're feeling better. 🦋🧚🏿♀️🦋
good call on the shoe size. i wear a men's 13. i applied for temporary work from thailand for a few months. i better bring shoes! last time i was there... the shoe stores in chiang mai only went up to a men's 11. 🙃
Thailand not yet released but bali is released as of today luxnomadtravels.com/experiences/bali-2025/ and the first 5 people to book can secure their spot for only $99 down
I spent 1 month September 2,024 in Bancock. And i found it to be a very interesting place. I heard about the No Vaping laws. Isn't that odd? You can smoke pot, but you can't vape tobacco or pot. That's okay, i don't vape, i just smoke. But i didn't hear that vibraters were illegal? That's kind of scary!
Hello I just found your channel and subscribed. I am trying to retire there in 2025 but would love to pick your brain on how to prepare for the big move. Are you still available to help? Thanks
Hi James, The November Thailand trip is sold out.. but you can join the waitlist to be notified when and if a spot becomes available. luxnomadtravels.com/experiences/thailand-2025/
When it comes to garbage. How often do they pick up the garbage. I know in Panama they don't pick up the garbage on a regular basis and so you can see garbage all over the place even though Panama is a beautiful place.

You could easily move there since they have a retired visa 50+
เป็นเรื่องยากที่จะหา รองเท้าและเสื้อผ้าขนาดใหญ่พิเศษ มันจะมีร้านเฉพาะที่ค่อนข้างหายาก คุณต้องสั่งออไลน์จาก eBay การซื้อเสื้อผ้าเมื่อคุณมาอยู่ที่ประเทศฉัน คุณต้องซื้อแบบซัมเมอร์ ที่ใส่สบาย บาง เบา ซับเหงื่อแห้งง่าย โยนเสื้อหนาๆทิ้งไป เพราะประเทศฉัน อากาศเย็นไม่ถึงกับติดลบ แต่คุณสามารถเดินทางไปเจออากาศเย็นได้ในภาคเหนือสุด และใต้สุด ของประเทศฉัน ยินดีต้อนรับ

Thank You from Saint Louis Missouri.

How is it bringing pets to Thailand? I want to bring my pups with us when we move. Can you bring pets? Do you have to quarantine them??
I'm coming there on a fix income (retirement)
I’ll be doing the same. Blessings.

That's okay, i don't vape, i just smoke. But i didn't hear that vibraters were illegal? That's kind of scary!
All the info i needed im moving to Thailand i need friends there so i dont look like a tourist all the time😂😂
Do they have single-family homes there or only condos?
Thank you so much for reading my mind with this VIDEO! Gracias Amiga! =)
You are so welcome!
They don't have amazon there?
I absolutely love, love these conversations that you have with yourself! Lol, lol
Glad you like them! lol
Ohhhh this is my dreammm
Flying into bangkok on Tuesday. Have a air bnb looking for that thong lo ekamai or sukhumvit are not sure
12:35 it’s blocked here in Texas too. You’d just use a VPN and boom! Back to the ebony section 😅
Freaky self 😂 that’s my section too
Are you planning on making this home? Like getting residency?
Your hair color is nice I got the same color still haven’t took them out
what about transportation? is it recommended that expats bring the cars from home ex. US
Cars are available here. Public transport is mostly great.
Importing used cars is prohibited in most cases, and it is VERY expensive.
Do they have vegan food there ? Like morning star, beyond meat ? Other supplements?
They call it Gin Jay. Aharn Gin Jay.
How do I start teaching English in Thailand ? Are there any companies that you recommend ?
There isn't a huge market for people studying English in Thailand.
Go to Korea or China if you want to teach English.
I work out in Ekamai and live in Phrom phong . Driving in traffic can be insane in my SUV so I take the BTS majority of the time 😂
Yay❤❤❤
What is you don't want to be an expat but just want to have a very long extended stay?
Hello I just found your channel and subscribed. I am trying to retire there in 2025 but would love to pick your brain on how to prepare for the big move. Are you still available to help? Thanks

Here you go: ruclips.net/video/XCDI8t542uY/видео.html

When it comes to garbage. How often do they pick up the garbage. I know in Panama they don't pick up the garbage on a regular basis and so you can see garbage all over the place even though Panama is a beautiful place.
Not sure how often... i just throw my trash in the bin on my floor and they get rid of it
What about going to the U S embassy to help with the move can they help with information
Not necessarily - i recommend hiring an immigration lawyer.
LOL it is not the embassies job to help you relocate. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 gosh! some of you kill me.
Hi where is the guide you mentioned?
Hi. It's mentioned in the description but can find it here... 79be-contact.systeme.io/comp-guide-to-bangkok
