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.
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?
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
Thanks mate, I appreciate you saying that, mean a lot 👍👍👍
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 🙏🙏
Wow, thank you 🙏 I appreciate you saying that and sharing my testament on Farang Thai Visa, cheers mate 👍👍👍
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

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 🙏🙏
Do you know if farang Thai also does the licence
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 😅.
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😎
Thanks Kelly and well done, good on you 👍👍👍
Great job. This was more informative than all other videos I've watched about Thailand so far.
Thanks 🙏 🙏👍👍
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 🙏🙏
Thanks mate, appreciate it and looking forward to having a beer with you 👍
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 !
Thanks mate and appreciate you sharing this information with all of us, good stuff 👍👍👍
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
Thanks mate, okay will do 👍👍👍
Hi there Jason. Fascinating film again. Thanks for taking time out to film, edit and upload it. Best wishes from me here.
G’day mate, thank you 🙏
Thanks for the great info Bud! I have been in contact with Lana because of your page. Really appreciate you!
Your welcome mate and glad to hear it 😁😁😁
Excellent video. Love to hear more about Rayong. Love your 'out and about' vids.
Thanks mate 🙏 will be looking at some properties in Rayong this week 👍
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
Thanks Michael and appreciate you sharing this, very interesting and that dream will come true 👍
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 Andrew, definitely looking forward to that 👍👍👍
Another excellent video Jason. This sort of thing and the condos for rent are my favourites. Pool villas for rent would be a welcome addition.
Thanks Tony, done a couple of videos in the last week on Pool villas 👍
Great video Jason, it was very informative for me when I get out there! Thanks again mate 👍🏻
Thanks Bob 🙏👍😁
Thank you good Sir. Found the Facebook page and subscribed.
Thanks Mike, much appreciated 🙏👍
Well done champion 🏆 great information 💯
I'll be happy to tune in with the live stream 👍
Keep up the great work buddy 💪
Thanks mate 🙏
Nice detail about your experience with license and visa! Thanks Jason
Thanks 😊
Fantastic job mate very informative. Couple of beers on the live stream would be great!
Thanks mate 👍
Great video Jason lots of good info, Rayon videos would be interesting to watch cheers Greg
Thanks Greg, okay I will go to Rayong and video some properties 👍👍👍
Great info as usually. For me 6pm EST or later for a live stream Look forward to it.
Thanks mate 🙏 will set it up 😁
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? 😂😂😂
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.
Thanks mate, glad it helps and hope you can get over here soon 👍😁😁😁
thanks so much, you explained a few questions I had, I appreciate the content
Welcome mate, glad it was helpful 👍👍👍
Great video Jason!
Thanks Tony, appreciate it 🙏👍😁
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.
Thanks mate and yes exactly 👍
Very helpful, as usual 😊
Thanks 😊
Thanks for sharing Jason, very interesting and informative video that, regards from England 🍺🍺👍
Thanks Dave, appreciate it mate 👍👍👍
Thanks Jas. Another ripper mate. 👍👍
Thanks mate, appreciate it 👍👍👍
Livestream, yes! You pick a time just provide a bit of notice. Rayong Condos, yes! Keep up the good work!
Thank you 🙏 okay I will do 👍👍👍
Just arrived in Jamtien today and your video was very helpful. Hope to see you around brother. Would love to buy you a coffee and chat
Thank you, how long are you here for? My email is goodvibespattaya@gmail.com if you would like to contact me 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 Thank you will email
Yes rayong, good area. look forward to a show sometime whenever 🎀 Thank You 🏝
Okay mate, I will do 👍😁😁😁
Hi Jas. Another great vid and information. Live streams would be great. All the best. Rob 😊
Thanks Rob, I will try and set it up soon 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 Thanks Jas. Whenever it’s convenient for you mate. 😊
Great video very informative 👏 👍🏻 👌
Thank you 🙏
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.
Great info as usual love the channel not just about girls and bars
Thanks 🙏
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 mate and also appreciate the coffees very much 🙏🙏🙏
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.
More properties for rent is good by me it gives me loads of tips and thanks for doing them
Okay 👍
hi, yes show property's for rent and sale in central Pattaya walking distance to beach etc. , thanks again good video
Another good video, live stream 👌 rental property, keep up the good work cheers 🍻
Thanks 🙏
I am an norwegian, and had to do a colourtest, and a reaction test. Then after that I was qualified! Buengkan provinse
Thank you for sharing your experience 👍
Will be watching from Canada! Live steam will be awesome, now that my team is out of the NHL (hockey) playoffs😢
Great 👍 sorry to hear about your team buddy 😁
Great video very helpful
Thanks 🙏
I'm up for live stream thx for your help mate
Thanks mate, one day soon 👍
Great video mate, lots of good information. I thought i was the only indigenous fella in the area until I saw your video. Welcome brother.
Thanks mate, are you in Bang Saray?
@@goodvibespattaya2423 back and forth between Bangkok and Phong Suk for the last couple of years. Keep up the great work, loving your channel mate.
I would definitely watch a livestream Jason.
Thanks 😊 one day soon 👍
Great content ❤
Thanks, much appreciated 👍
Hey friend, super hungover from last night partying so much but still manage to watch your video 😂
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
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.
Thank you too and hope to see you in Bang Saray soon 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 Thanks Jason, I definitely owe you at least one dinner and beers for all the useful information you have shared!
Your information is great thank you from Scott new Zealand
Thanks mate 👍
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
Okay thanks 🙏 I will set one up soon 😁
Yes live stream!
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 🙏🙏🙏
You're most welcome Jason . Really appreciate the effort & content mate
@@paulsargent2343 👍👍👍😁😁😁
Nice work jason
Thanks 👍
I've only been a tourist to Thailand but Thai's really love paperwork!
You are not wrong 😑
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
Thanks mate, appreciate you saying that 🙏🙏🙏
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 🙏
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 👍
Yes please a livestream 😌👍🏻❤
The properties are interesting for showing. The good and the bad just for some comparison
Thanks Thomas, I try to show all levels of budget 👍
Hi mate yes a live streaming video is a great idea but you should do it on a Saturday or Sunday your time 3pm Sydney time 6pm
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 👍👍👍
Farang Thai Visa A1 indeed look forward to seeing them and get it all done.
They are good mate 👍
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.
Thanks mate, will do 👍
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 😂
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 Michael, I have ridden my mates ADV350 and it’s a great bike, perfect for what you want to do 👍
Thanks
Jason
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.
yes on the livestream
You have more patience with bureaucracy than I do
This afternoon was not fun at the land transport office 😩
Live stream yes will get more Hits with it jason go for it.
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 👍
Thanks!
Thank you so much buddy 👍👍👍
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 👍👍👍
Hi Jason, Rayong property rental is something i’d love to see. We are after a 1 or 2 bed place within walking distance of the beach.
G’day, okay just organising some properties to look at in Rayong in the coming days 👍
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........................................
Thanks mate, I will try to get it organised 👍
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.
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 👍
Yes
Good i found this video, was wondering how to rent a scooter without having a motorcycle license, like you.
Glad it was helpful 👍👍👍
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 👍👍👍
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
Go for it all areas helps everyone jason.
Thanks mate 👍
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.
Thank you for sharing this with us 🙏
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.😢
*Also no medical 🚑 requirements in all the country's mentioned , but this is all subject to change of course.🤔🙏
congratulations to ya!
🙏🙏🙏
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.
Very helpful video Jason
Yes to live stream
Yes to Rayong properties
Yes to living the dream - soon.
Really want to tell the boss to stick his f ing phone up his f ing arse - 'bloody Wilson singing again' 🤣😇
Thanks, okay I will do it soon 👍👍👍
Live stream would be good
nice footage sir..
what camera or phone camera you used for vlogging?
Thanks, GoPro Hero 11
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.
👍👍👍
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.
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 👍
Ya do a live stream !
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 👍
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 👍
Much easier then getting a Chinese licence from my experience
m8 great video i watch all your content what u show interestet me as in renting vs buying very good but buying a risk.? for foreigners
Thanks mate, appreciate it 🙏
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.
