Great video once again. Many if us are looking to retire in Thailand and need some real life advice from someone who has done it recently, and also a look at what we can expect to pay for rent, food, cars, bikes, navigate the Thai systems for Visas and licences and just get a feel for the place. Your videos are more relevant to me and what I'm interested in than the Soi6 nightlife videos that a lot of YTubers do. Great work Jason.
Jason your doing a fantastic job on advising people about Thailand and property and visas keep up your fantastic work mate we all appreciate the amount of work that goes into what you do
Maybe your best video. THIS type of video is why Kev in Thailand was the RUclips king of Pattaya before he died. * I used a few Visa agents, dating back many years. But currently use Farang Thai also. For all your viewers, I rate Farang Thai service at the top, fair pricing also at the top. .. Curt in Jomtien
Mate Anthony from Melbourne I'm looking into Jomtien in June and I'm thinking that'll be a great place to start..any tips would be greatly appreciated 🙏🙏
Many people come here and want to reinvent the wheel, or find a gem location miles away. The TRUTH, Jomtien is ULTRA loaded with condos and low prices yet close to the best paved walking beach and only walking distance or 10 baht bus ride to Pattaya! If you look 1 block away from the beach, you’ll find AMAZING deals, with pools and gyms and only 10 minutes walk away from Jomtien beach road. * Deals made now or until July, can be had at LOW SEASON PRICES! Aug or September or after, you’ll pay a little extra (maybe 1000 to 3000 baht more, $30 to $90) Believe me.. great condos and hidden gem locations.. get annoying and inconvenient very quickly. Best of luck
@@ckSport3000 Thank you very much mate. I'll be in Jomtien in June 8 staying at the gallery and starting my search from there. I want to be near the market on 2nd road etc. Really appreciate your time 🙏🙏
G’day, I just watched your video on getting a Thai bike and car licence, it has been a great help, since about 2017-18 I have been giving a lot of thought to relocating, retiring to Pattaya and opening a small business to keep me out of trouble (not a bar) but then COVID hit and you know all the problems that caused and it certainly put the brakes on my plans, but now with things on the up and returning, and me taking early retirement again with the help of COVID, my thoughts are back on track. Back in the early 2000’s I rode a scooter (a Honda Click) all over Phuket and with the intention to one day to tour all of Thailand by bike (scooter) I will be getting a Thai licence, thank you, I really enjoy your web page, I look forward to watching your new video’s, much appreciated. Cheers Michael
Definitely get an International Drivers License prior to arrival. Got stopped at Checkpoint and my Canadian drivers license with motorcycle endorsement was NOT acceptable…however my 1K Baht note WAS 😅.
Great informative video yet again Jason ... personly after the first year of applying and filling in paperwork for visa s , driving license, banking sorted out lve managed to cope without using an agency , its only changes a little yearly , what l did was taking copies of all the filled in forms for my visa etc afterwards easier to fill in all the paperwork and relevent copies l just filled in a month before the due dates , takes all the pressure off you , and if you stay cool / calm the banking , emigration staff are more than helpful , good luck to anyone doing forms the first time , but free help is out there ! Thanks again Jason for your time !
Morning live stream😎 And I did the driver license stuff by myself in Udon Thani. Mostly painless with a lot of waiting and queueing🤣😵💫 for a grand total of 300baht for both licenses and an additional 600baht for scooter and car rentals😎
This is a great video. I'm curious about the vision test - I have a red-green color disparity in the U.S, which basically means that while I can see red and green individually, when they blend them like the color wheel shown, I'm screwed, and can never pick out the relevant numbers unless they're either bright red or bright green, or another color. This knocked me out of a lot of MOS choices in the Army, though they allowed me to cross train back into being a 12B combat engineer who works with demolition, which I found interesting, to say the least. Lol. I wonder if I'll be able to secure a drivers license in Thailand, or if I'll be out of luck. Thank you for all the information you share with us.
Thanks mate, appreciate you sharing your story, very interesting. I think you will be okay with the eye test, it’s more clear than it shows on camera and the Thai instructor is very helpful and nice, I think you will pass 👍👍👍
Excellent video Jason. I’m moving to Pattaya area in 5/6 weeks time. That information is so useful mate. I’m going to pay your visa agents a visit when I get there. Your racking up the beers I owe you mate. Many thanks.
Thanks for this video it showed the stuff people really need to know about going to thailand. Yes on the condos always love seeing what is out there. Great job sir
Mate just watched this and can't thank you enough for the time and energy you put into these. You just answered a number of questions I had for you so very very grateful. Mate I think a live stream is a ripping idea. I'd certainly be up for it. I'll be in Pattaya 2 June. Not long now and starting my journey as well. Hopefully a beer and catch up - my shout mate very soon. Thank you very much for your time 🙏🙏
What a great video mate. This is exactly the sort of information I’m interested in. I’m hoping so much that I’ll be retiring there soon. By the gods my friend you are living the dream. Life in paradise. And yeah man. Do a live stream.
Nice job mate! I think a lot if people forget to get an International licence. Really important, especially if you don't get it transferred to a Thai licence. Technically, the cops can fine you, if you're only on your home licence.
This video really convinced me to use an agent! It just sounds like a lot less frustration! One thing that you didn't mention was i thought that the bank account had to have the required amount for 2 months minnimum. Did the agent help you get around this? Also, no need for insurance, police background check, ? I hope you see and answer as i am convinced now an agent is the way to go. Thanks for the videos!
Hi and thanks for watching, being a subscriber and the comment. Unfortunately some information regarding visas I cannot and won’t publish, just talk to a visa agent and they will discuss the requirements. Thanks again Jason
Great mate i hope many people take notice of you because it not easy if you never been to thailand ,That is what you must do just talk to Jason he can help ,Make Thing easy
G'day Jason. Thanks for the informative video. I think a live stream would be great. Give it a go mate. As for for times, i think a sat or sun arvo would be best. But that is just my opinion. Take care mate.
Thanks for the very informative video, I hope to be going down that road in the not too distant future, so very helpful for me. I am interested in the Bang Saray area, i have been there and like it.
interesting. i have to say i have always gone and got my licence by myself and never had an issue at all then at under 1000B its much cheaper. also due to changes you now have to do a test online and at the end you get a QR code. show that at the DLT Department of Land Transport and from there the colour test and reaction and peripheral vision test and you walk out with the licence in under 2 hours
Always love peoperty viewing if you could just flash up a map of area in relations to a big city..stick or line drawing ok so we can have a reference. Great job
Thanks, I always put a google map in the description for each property, unfortunately I don’t have the editing software to do that, all done on an app on the phone but I will try 👍
Hey mate, lol 😂 appreciate it. I’m so bloody busy i barely have time to scratch myself. When you can, please send me the best way to contact you on email goodvibespattaya@gmail.com
I would be interested to see more videos or live streams about immigration agents you used as I would be around thePataya area if I decide to retire, I am from Sydney. Thanks Robert
Hi Robert, thanks mate. I have done a video on Farang Thai Visa Pattaya in the past but might look at another video and talk to some other agents at some stage but I do recommend Farang Thai Visa Pattaya, you can find them on Facebook 👍
Just a comment on visa's in the Philippines, I did hear you can simply extend 3 monthly for up to 3 years, and then as long as you leave the country by then (and return), the clock starts all over again.
This is true and you pay about 400 US dollars for a retirement visas in Cambodia which is similar to what Jason said the second year will cost to extend his visa in Thailand , however there is no requirements to prove you have money in your account or a pension in Cambodia \Philippines. I prefer Thailand it's much cleaner better infrastructure but I may have to divide my time between country's as my budget is limited.😢
good video.I was lucky to get a bank account by just walking into the bank and asking if i could open an account. Things have changes on that . yes it would good to see rental property.
Great video again Jason. Would definitely be interested in a Live Stream. In particular, I have questions about is property tax collected on foreign owned condos, do condo owners typically purchase Home Owners insurance, What about insurance for your car or scooter, if a Thai hits your car or scooter, is it likely they will pay for damages ? These and more could be covered in a live stream.
G’day, thank you for your response, I had been following a young English chap on you-tube who had toured Thailand on a second hand Honda postie bike, and it had got my blood stirring again for adventure, I had a 1963 Ducati Diana single cylinder 250cc and a 1963 Fugi Rabbit 130cc scooter which I kept in mint condition unfortunate both stolen, these day’s I have a 2005 Hyosung GT250R sports bike but it’s a big bike to ride, now I am older I think a scooter is more my fit over the last month or so I have been looking at bikes and scooters for sale in Pattaya and I have come down to my choice of a Honda scooter mainly because of Honda dealer network in Thailand, I think I will be getting a Honda ADV350 Adventure scooter it’s not too big, not too small, Cheers Michael
HI Jason, a live stream would be great, i am up for a chat, 9pmish Brisbane time would work, good vid with good info this one, well done thanks mate...CJ
Really looking forward to the cameo performances by the expats who used to live in the Phillippines, nothing like from the horses mouth.................................................Re Visas and as a comparison; I paid an agent in Chiang Mai 5900b to do my 1 year retirement few months ago. I already had a 3 month retirement visa issued by overseas embassy.............. We spent 2 1/2 hours at the immigration office and I walked out with it on the day........................................Cracking vid as usual btw........................................
Great info Jason for the essentials if relocating .Lanna comes highly recommended . I hope at the test centre they let you practice if on an unfamiliar bike before taking on the concrete slab . A wheelie , couple of doughnuts , that sorta thing . Rayong condos would be of interest
Thanks Paul, yes they are very good 👍 you probably do have time to get familiar with the rental bike although I didn’t but managed okay. Thank you very much for your donation, really appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
Always easier to use the agents for everything. Even When I had my license renewed up in Issan with a thai friend I was asked to give some coffee money to "expedite" things.
Damn, if only I knew would have saved me a lot of time, thanks mate as always, I appreciate it and should just reach out to you from now on, that is if you don’t mind?
Hello, where is the testing station in Bang Saray? Is it for the transfer of a vehicle? Where is the closest office to Bang Saray for a Driver's license. Thanks.
To avoid competition, I suggest a stream sometime between 4-8 or 4-8. Jerzy Kosinski used to sleep on this schedule because he had come to believe that nothing worthwhile ever happens during these hours 😂😂😂☮️
Morning J, hoping to visit Ban sa re for a look around next week. Is it easy to get a taxi back to jomtien and is there somewhere on the beach to aim for that’s got a few shops/bars & restaurants as i don’t walk far in the heat? Cheers pal
G’day mate, yes plenty of taxis around and beach road Bang Saray is good, as a place to advise the driver when coming here, just say Seaside Cafe and that will put you on beach road 👍
Hi Jason, Great video. I just have got a 1 year Non-O Visa retirement now in Jun 23 with multi re-entry , when I go back to Australia. Question. Can I buy a 1 way air ticket when I come back to Thailand next time or I have to buy return air ticket as well?
Its all about the money, especially in Thailand....front of the ques, no waiting, streamlined services....not that I really care either but you know damn well there's immigration officers getting a really nice kick back but doing it yourself can be very difficult to navigate if it's your first time.
You ought to put together total out of pocket cost to move to Thailand not including air fare. 33,000 for visa and bank account. How much for condo contract? Two months rent + security deposit? Lets say the rent on a place you find is 20,000 Baht. So that's 40,000 plus what... 10,000 security deposit? In USD your talking $2,450 just to get yourself setup. This doesn't include phone, Internet contract for new service. Probably more like $2,600 just to move in. That's 1/4 of my cash on-hand.
Jason, I intend to retire in Jomtien in January. Can I show up on a tourist visa and get busy right away with your agent and have EVERYTHING done before it expires in 30 days. O-visa, bank account, motorcycle license? How many days do they keep your passport? Thanks buddy.
@@goodvibespattaya2423 Thanks buddy. I figure if it goes beyond 30 days i can get an extension....but then, maybe not if they are holding my passport. At any rate, i think this is the route i'm going to go. Just get an agent and go for it and try to get it done as quickly as possible.
@goodvibespattaya2423 thanks for the reply.' Me and a mate were going back through so many of your videos and couldn't find .. Is it listed a folder? Maybe link?? We will try again.
Jason, Was looking on the trip advisor for things to do in bang saray. Have you done monkey Island? I think that would boost your views if you went there...not sure if you'd like it though...looks full of monkies climbing on people, etc
Thanks mate! That was very helpful although I have 8 years to wait until I am eligible for a retirement visa, unless there is a work-around the age requirement. Live streams are always a good idea.
@@bigradwolf5001 Apparently loads of people stay longterm on tourist visas in PH and Malaysia. Not sure about TH but I like to travel so it's not a major issue.
@@VikingNomad99 Yes but they are 50+ mostly say 9 out of 10. I'm targeting 53. My earlier was 55 but having tasted Thai, I am moving my plans to 53 which is just 3 years away now.

Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words and for taking the time to say that 👍
I would say both types of vloggers form a symbiotic experience.
QUESTION, if you have multiple entry do you still need to get re-entry stamp before leaving the country?

I hope at the test centre they let you practice if on an unfamiliar bike before taking on the concrete slab . A wheelie , couple of doughnuts , that sorta thing .
Rayong condos would be of interest
Thanks Paul, yes they are very good 👍 you probably do have time to get familiar with the rental bike although I didn’t but managed okay. Thank you very much for your donation, really appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
You're most welcome Jason . Really appreciate the effort & content mate
@@paulsargent2343 👍👍👍😁😁😁
Another good video, live stream 👌 rental property, keep up the good work cheers 🍻
Thanks 🙏
Farang Thai Visa A1 indeed look forward to seeing them and get it all done.
They are good mate 👍
Thanks man great info. Do you have a vid about when you retired and why? All the best to you and have a peaceful week.☘️
Yeah mate, you will have to look back to around August last year - made redundant 👍
Always easier to use the agents for everything. Even When I had my license renewed up in Issan with a thai friend I was asked to give some coffee money to "expedite" things.
I think the Testing station in bang saray can do the transfer for you... Takes a few days.
Damn, if only I knew would have saved me a lot of time, thanks mate as always, I appreciate it and should just reach out to you from now on, that is if you don’t mind?
Hello, where is the testing station in Bang Saray?
Is it for the transfer of a vehicle?
Where is the closest office to Bang Saray for a Driver's license.
Thanks.
Be careful of anybody offering investments in the RUclips comments section!!
Not only that but help others out and report them just by clicking
Really? I find it surprising that investment opportunities offered on social media might not be genuine...what is this world coming to? 😂😂😂
Good i found this video, was wondering how to rent a scooter without having a motorcycle license, like you.
Glad it was helpful 👍👍👍
To avoid competition, I suggest a stream sometime between 4-8 or 4-8. Jerzy Kosinski used to sleep on this schedule because he had come to believe that nothing worthwhile ever happens during these hours 😂😂😂☮️
Thanks mate, appreciate it 👍👍👍
Yes please a livestream 😌👍🏻❤
Guys ignore the investment advice in the comments they are scammers.
Luxky me I have no money to invest to begin with. One less concern to deal with.
Rayong video on rentals would be great thanks mate. Enjoy watching your videos.
Okay, thanks 🙏
Live stream yes please love your videos best in Pattaya at the moment .
Thanks Mark, nice of you to say that 🙏
Thanks mate all this information is helpful thanks and yes I'm sitting next to the wood heater in tassie it's cold 🤣🤣
Cheers mate, sorry to hear that. I was telling some friends what a map of Tassie is just yesterday 😂
Haha oldie but a goody 😂
yes on the livestream
Great video very helpful
Thanks 🙏
Ps. Almost forgot, about the live stream thingymujig, it's all about availability, if I'm able to at whichever time you choose I'll try to long on 👍
Thanks mate, I will try to get it happening soon 👍
Morning J, hoping to visit Ban sa re for a look around next week. Is it easy to get a taxi back to jomtien and is there somewhere on the beach to aim for that’s got a few shops/bars & restaurants as i don’t walk far in the heat? Cheers pal
G’day mate, yes plenty of taxis around and beach road Bang Saray is good, as a place to advise the driver when coming here, just say Seaside Cafe and that will put you on beach road 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 thanks
Tops 👍
Could you do a video on sea fishing , prices , short/long time , how much of your own catch you can keep
Thanks, I will try 👍👍👍
Hi Jason,
Great video.
I just have got a 1 year Non-O Visa retirement now in Jun 23 with multi re-entry , when I go back to Australia.
Question.
Can I buy a 1 way air ticket when I come back to Thailand next time or I have to buy return air ticket as well?
Thanks mate, yes you can buy a one way ticket 👍
Jason, if a person does not have the 800 thousand THB, are there ways the visa agents can help with that requirement?
You will need to discuss this directly with a visa agent 👍
Live stream yes will get more Hits with it jason go for it.
Its all about the money, especially in Thailand....front of the ques, no waiting, streamlined services....not that I really care either but you know damn well there's immigration officers getting a really nice kick back but doing it yourself can be very difficult to navigate if it's your first time.
👍👍👍
You ought to put together total out of pocket cost to move to Thailand not including air fare. 33,000 for visa and bank account. How much for condo contract? Two months rent + security deposit? Lets say the rent on a place you find is 20,000 Baht. So that's 40,000 plus what... 10,000 security deposit? In USD your talking $2,450 just to get yourself setup. This doesn't include phone, Internet contract for new service. Probably more like $2,600 just to move in. That's 1/4 of my cash on-hand.
Jason, I intend to retire in Jomtien in January. Can I show up on a tourist visa and get busy right away with your agent and have EVERYTHING done before it expires in 30 days. O-visa, bank account, motorcycle license? How many days do they keep your passport? Thanks buddy.
You should be able to get it all done, they had my passport for 3 weeks 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 Thanks buddy. I figure if it goes beyond 30 days i can get an extension....but then, maybe not if they are holding my passport. At any rate, i think this is the route i'm going to go. Just get an agent and go for it and try to get it done as quickly as possible.
@@nixworld767 welcome mate and yeah that’s the go 👍
You need to do a couple of videos with Visa Agents..
I have mate, this video was done a long time ago 👍
@goodvibespattaya2423 thanks for the reply.'
Me and a mate were going back through so many of your videos and couldn't find ..
Is it listed a folder?
Maybe link??
We will try again.
Jason,
Was looking on the trip advisor for things to do in bang saray. Have you done monkey Island? I think that would boost your views if you went there...not sure if you'd like it though...looks full of monkies climbing on people, etc
Thanks, haven’t been there but might check it out 👍
Go for it all areas helps everyone jason.
Thanks mate 👍
Thanks mate! That was very helpful although I have 8 years to wait until I am eligible for a retirement visa, unless there is a work-around the age requirement. Live streams are always a good idea.
Dang it must kill you to be searching Thai retirees knowing your still 8 years away. I refrained from doing so until I reached 48.
@@bigradwolf5001 Apparently loads of people stay longterm on tourist visas in PH and Malaysia. Not sure about TH but I like to travel so it's not a major issue.
@@VikingNomad99 Yes but they are 50+ mostly say 9 out of 10. I'm targeting 53. My earlier was 55 but having tasted Thai, I am moving my plans to 53 which is just 3 years away now.
Much easier then getting a Chinese licence from my experience
Ya do a live stream !
live stream 😎 8pm Bangkok time 😁 bring on your mates who have lived in the Philippines 🧐 I'd love a comparison
Okay I will set it up soon 👍
Hey Jas, are there many electric bikes there and I’m guessing you don’t need a licence for them?
Seen a few but not many 😁
