Ryan is very REAL. I've been following him since the beginning and supporting him via membership. His family is awesome and...He nails it on this topic.
Reason 1: Two things to remember and adopt as your life mantra. TIT (This is Thailand), and we are guests in their country. Don't like it here, take the next flight out. Reason 2: Not much to say other than "it is hot". If you can't stand the heat, get out of Thailand. Reason 3: There is a lifestyle for every budget, other than a zero budget. Budget is the key word. Just as you would have to budget your life in your home country based on your income, so must you do so in Thailand.
That should be the same when Asians come to a western country but it’s not. They complain they say negative things. It should be reciprocated.
Hey my friend - wow good to see an old clip! We will certainly arrange a meet up at some point! Let me know if you are ever in buriram or if I’m down that way I’ll stop by! 🙏✊🇹🇭😊
Welcome back to Cha-am guys, would be great to catch up again.
I've been watching your videos for years. As I've aged, I don't enjoy the cold weather like I used to, so Thailand will be just fine. I've got my house up for sale now and hope to be in the Land of Smiles by mid-year 2024. Retirement is very close now and you keep me informed very well. Keep it up!
There is a saying that goes like this:- ADAPT OR DIE!!!, If you can't do that don't come here, rather look for someplace else. You will not fit in anywhere, anyway.
Who wants to retire and have to keep adapting to new rules every 6 months?
Hey JC! Glad to see you still going strong!
My wife and I met you in Chiang Mai over 11 years ago (digital nomad at the time). I turned 40 this year, and thankfully looking at retiring early in the coming year.
Wont be heading to thailand soon, have 2 young kids to raise. Perhaps check in in another 12 years once we empty the nest ❤️
Thanks for sharing! Very good points there of both you and Rayan. And this goes for the majority of the countries in the world. Things are different even in neighbor countries. So if you are not adaptable and/or don't do your due diligence before moving for real, just don't make the move before you know you gonna like it there.
I like the heat but there are times when it can be overwhelming; especially if you are doing work outside. If you are not careful, you can easily get heat exhaustion. There have been a couple of times when I have come close to passing out. With that said, it is still better than living through Canadian winters.
I passed out in Patong 2 weeks ago Cost me 4000bht for a 3hour hospital stay to get me healthy again.Never had trouble in the sun before but now I'm seventy should stick in the shade more.
@@Steven-t9s The mistake I continue to make, is not taking in enough fluids. Glad to hear you are healthy again.
Hey JC, glad to see you are showing other youtube influencers on Thailand.
Your video makes me miss Thailand. We will be going back to Bangkok and other areas in about 2 weeks. We will stay with family for about 4 months, so it will be a nice break from the cold winter in the states. Nat looks very different with her hair up. A good way to keep cool for her.
Been watching you guys for sometime & you give out valuable information, though seeing as you're both on camera almost all the time, it would be great to hear Nat speak more. Her English has improved hugely & being Thai, she would add more value to the channel.
Just my thoughts?
Wherever you go...there you are! Always want Good Luck is and with preparation meeting opportunity! Research/prepare ~ Your health is looking good JC and your wife also.
Love love love Thailand & my move there is imminent, only pensioners from the UK need to know that the UK & Thailand do not have a reciprocal agreement on the yearly increase of pension funds.
Basically the UK freeze ones pension at their moving time of going to live in Thailand. Meaning it doesn't increase year on year.
If anyone knows a way around this, I'm sure others will be interested to know?
Use a UK address??
@@Bruce-fd9lm
It's what I propose to do on drawing my UK pension, though I'm unsure of it in practice.
I wish those already in the sitiuation would share their experiences.
@keepitreal1547 ask Les from blog "Retired and Living the Dream". Great guy, and from the UK. He knows all the workarounds.
Incompetence is everywhere. The difference is incompetence is cheaper in Thailand. I complain all the time about someone doing a bad job in Europe because i pay a lot. Im kind of okay with that in Thailand because at least you pay a little.
As I understand it, it's not the heat that's the problem, but the 'humidity!' I suspect that's partly why there are so many bars because they are places to sit down under the air conditioning. Otherwise, everybody would just sit under the trees.
Thanks for important informations ,
I am used to not getting my way most days😅. How about just being left alone to live a simple life and the pursuit of happiness? I'm in on that plan!!
Hello JC Ive followed Your Chanel Since 2012. When you Lived in Chiang mai would travel All over Thailand in the Ripermobile 😀I'm a Native Born NY'ker Manhattanite & Former Buisisness Owner here.
To New People STUFF YOUR SUIT CASES FULL OF PATIENCE & ACCEPTANCE minmize your expectations , Keep an Open mind , I've been coming to Thailand since 1998 with the total Intenion to get off the hamster wheel , and get away from crazy. Ive Had a long term tourist Visas 60- 90 days 6months , had a Marriage visa At one time & owned a house 12Yrs on leased land In Jomtien Chonburi using 1965 U.S treaty of Amity U.S. Corp, I've Lived 8yrs in NakhonRactchasim and Now Divorced Now on a retirement visa since 2011 BanSaray I love living here in Thailand I thought about Brazil ?? Ive Been All over Europe East & Western (❤Thailand baby)
I would like to add that its humidity the makes the difference when you think its hot or not.
*Did you get STABBED in the stomach with a CUCUMBER? What is that??*
Thank you JC/Nat
Great advice again, can’t beat Isaan food,
Nat looks good with her hair up!
Nat and JC, I enjoy your channel immensely, have been to Thailand several times over the past 12 yrs. And have also married a wonderful thai woman from Nakhon pathom,the food there is amazing, we now live in the states, California, its become extremely expensive, soon to retire in Thailand, but still indecisive as to where, want to be somewhere near the ocean, what do you suggest? I enjoy your channel. Would like to connect some day .
Hua Hin mate. 👌
Most folks agree with what I am saying.
It's a beach community, and good for couples. 💑
Only downside is the beach doesn't have a boardwalk.
Some have said the only reason they didn't move there.
Issan food is delicious! Have an amazing day everyone :)
I hope that's a joke?
He says ฿40,000 a month wow! I’ll be doing great I’ll have more than 230,000 by a month coming in.
I’d be spending every American dollar I get on my retirement and just surviving here sounds like I can live like a king over there . If I can keep my sanity in that kind of heat. I don’t know if I can stomach the heat. I’ve had heat exhaustion inside of a nuclear reactor. It was 160° I stayed for 38 minutes. Stay time in that kind of temperature is only 15 - 16 minutes. They say you’re more susceptible to heat exhaustion once you get it so I have to be careful. I’ll definitely have to have an air condition.
I just want to come over and check it out. See if I can do it first.
Good evening Nat and JC from issan
Any thoughts of expat community concerns of tax implication undefined uncertainties start of 01 Jan 2024?
The expat community is overreacting as usual to things they don't know enough about...
One thing to consider before moving to Thailand is your blood type. I have O negative which is very rare in Thailand or SE Asia. Having a RH negative blood type can be very problematic here in the Kingdom. In turn, I chose to jettison my retirement in Thailand and return to the US.
Why not just donate blood on a regular basis and keep it as a personal supply in case of an emergency? Always an option.
Yes life not easy for everyone and don’t expect everything will be fine. But think before decide going to live there.
If you put 800000 baht in the bank and you don't spend it all. Can you roll it over for the next year?
yes
happiness is a fleeting illusion. it's an emo state that comes & goes, so nobody's happy all the time. the more comfortable & content one is with one's life, the more "happiness" one is likely to experience. the more balanced & harmonic with nature one is, the more contentment one finds. the *power of intention* can't be underestimated in achieving these more desirable states of being, therefore - *know thyself,* get your finances in order, grab your passport, & retire cheap in SEA baby!
Very, very, very well said.... 🙏
i think you found yourself a good wife.
Ryan knowa what he is talking about, and you to.
all retired foreigners if you looking for young thai woman move to thailand
The topic of alcohol at Ryan's wasn't addressed here. He is correct, tho. A lot of ex's over indulge but i like to think it's because they're new at retirement. lol, naw... they're boozers, some trying to be 35 again. A few know how to maintain. The main item that scares some is the medical issues starting to arise (or not). Not fond of Thai's med industry.
They said I needed 800000 thai bath in a bank for 1 year bank statement and not two month before but a whole year before applying for a retirement non O visa in Chiang mai. So I went to Bangkok and used a visa service but I had to paid 29800 thai bath and got my 1 year visa extension with multiple entries. Why it's always a very different story we get from thai visa service companies in Chiang mai then other part of Thailand. I guess I'm paying my thai taxes in advance 😂 I hope next year if I'm still living in Thailand and not moving to Malaysia already that I can apply thru a thai visa service company with more then a full one year bank statement and hope they don't have a new story waiting for me to have to deal with. Maybe they ask for 2 years bank statements 😅 love the thai immigration new rules and updates that never make any sense to anyone 😂
No one ever mentions the mozzies.
That's what Aircon is for.They don't like the cold.
@@Steven-t9s Are they only a seasonal problem, i.e Monsoons?
Listen carefully to this one :)
It's true that you just put a cover over the complaining but it's a sign of somebody that like things well done. What is really worst than complaining is complaining about the complainers.
800k in a bank account !?! That's 800k not in Bitcoin. From experience I don't trust banks.
What experience do you refer to? What bank stole your money and you lost out?
@@BradSabako My bank for 20 years frozen my account a month after I tried to purchased an Elite Thai Visa. They did not like that I use MY money. Then they closed it because I was a risky client.
you said all that how about the girl friend, how is the dating for older men..
Same as the dating for younger men... How is it where you live for older men? What are your options there?
Hi JC and miss nat great video as per usual , one thing that worries me in thailand is that you have no rights compared to a thai person , I have a fairly stable life here in australia and did contemplate living in thailand but unfortunately now i am looking after an elderly parent so what is my option ? well i am going to bring my wife to australia she may like it or she may(she seems very happy but well see ) not but at the moment i really have no options but maybe later , in the other video the guy mentioned drinkers and i have watched a few videos of guys who really live on the street in pattaya and are alchaholics which is what was mentioned about spending all your retirement money on grog he also said it was hot yes it is and thats why they invented air conditioners and also malls and if there isnt a mall go to a seven eleven you aclimatise eventually when i was in the tropics in the army they gave you three months anyway enough of that good to se you back where i would like to live cha am last trip i saw an old army mate who lives in the next town (cant remeber the name ) caught the train with the concrete seatrs from bangkok anyway good to see you havent changed take care .
hua hin was the town i was thinking of mate lives there , even with my wife next to me girls would still try to get you into a bar , we caught the train down from bangkok went to a great little resteraunt neat the station had hundreds of books in there one of the best meals i have had in thailand .
SS taxation in TH eventually will happen,
with a maximum 20-30% saving,
plus bugs, high humidity, loud traffic, rain.....
It is not worth moving.
I can't EAT beautiful scenery, get real.
Traveling and living are totally different.
no need to move to Thailand.
Correction.. No need to watch videos about Thailand!!!! 😂
