- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
- In this video I answer the most common questions you guys have been asking me. This is my first Thailand FAQ about money, visas, safety, dating and general living in Bangkok in 2023. You submitted many great questions asking about me, my life, living in Thailand, food, and so much more. I also just hit 25k subscribers so I wanted to celebrate by sharing all this info with you guys. How much money do I need to live in Thailand? Is Thailand safe? What is the best Visa? What advice would you give to a new RUclipsr? What is medical care like in Thailand? I answer these, and many other questions in this video. This is the first FAQ, but it will definitely not be the last. Want more info about RUclips or living in Thailand? Contact me for a one on one consultation via IG or email below.

Hi serg how are you I love to watching your channel all the time I'm from Thailand 🇹🇭 but now I'm live in Ireland 🇮🇪 and I'm going to holiday to Thailand on 22 of April I would like to meet you and bring you go to my home town call SURIN city I'm very happy to hear you love Thailand 😊😊😊😊
The hospitals here are so great, nongovernment. I had a gallbladder attack in America and I was writhing in pain and after 3 hours they gave me one ibuprofen and charged me $600. In Khon Kaen, I had a gallbladder attack, went to Bangkok Hospital and a beautiful woman told me how sorry she was I was in pain, pet my head, gave me morphine and I was both in love and out of pain in 2 minutes. That was actually the day I decided I'd rather live in Thailand than die in America.
Yeah, I would have to agree with you. I’ve had a phenomenal medical experience is here as well.
I absolutely agree with you about buying the Condo or House. I am Thai single man. You will feel worried about your belongings. Do not buy any car or motorcycle. The BTS and MRT will extend more distance in five years. This year the new yellow and pink line will launch the service.
Yes, you are very much correct about the extension of MRT and BTS. I don’t think I’ll be buying my own car or motorbike here in Bangkok.
Good Q and A , answer a lot of my curiosity. Thanks Serge.
I will definitely do another one of these sometime at the end of this year Sheila. Hope you are well.
I plan on buying a motorcycle, and I'm only planning on staying for 4-5 months. I just want something fun to ride around on, and explore on my own.
@@knowledge4741 You cam rent everywhere you go. The two RUclipsr that I know have the accidents at the same times last week. It’s very difficult time when you have the accident in Thailand.
I'm Thai, born and raised in Bangkok. I couldn't agree more with the roads and sidewalks. It's like they are designed to help us practice mindfulness. 😂😂😂 By the way, stay safe and cool. Best of luck surviving the summer heat.
I arrived here last year at the beginning of April, so I remember what it was like. Here we go again! Thanks for your support.
The sidewalks, when they're present, are something else...😅
I am in the exact same boat you were in. I am over 50 and lived mostly in california and plan on retiring in Thailand in 4-5 years! I too am sick of the politics and division in the states. I am just like you I am trying to change my mindset and not to take life too seriously and the culture there of smiles will definitely help!
That’s awesome! Hope it works out just like you planned. I’m actually back in the US for a visit for a couple of weeks right now, and I have to be really honest with you that I really missed it. Mostly familiarity and the friends.
@@LifewithSerg i dont have many friends so no loss for me in that department 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I guess I am ready to start a new life 🥳
One of the best Q&A I have ever listened to. Thanks for sharing, Serg.
I’m so happy to hear that! I will do another one at 50K, or the end of the year. Which ever comes first.
Great vlog Serge! I am Thai-American, tri-lingual and am inspired by your message to work more on my RUclips channel. Congratulations on 25K subscribers
Glad you enjoyed it. And by all means, keep working on it. Nothing worthwhile is easy.
Just found your channel today Serg, thanks for the info. I will be moving to Thailand from the U.S. this year hopefully and look forward to it greatly. My goal is to live in a positive culture and try to give back.
Todd, you definitely have the right mindset! I wish you the very best of luck with your move.
thanks for sharing, serge. nice to get to know you more
I’ve got a new FAQ video coming in about two weeks. Thanks for watching!
I've lived in Chiang Mai for nearly 6 years. For me the worst thing about Thailand (anywhere) is driving. Motorbike or car, is absolutely awful. If living in Chiang Mai the smokey season is terrible. Other than that it's a dream.
I have yet to visit Chiang Mai, but I’m excited to go there so I can do a motorbike trip.
Love your videos Serg! I'm finally going to visit Bangkok and Chiang Mai in June and I just can't wait! Looking to move full time in the next few years. I hope to get to bump into you on the streets of Bangkok when I get there. Be safe!
I think that’s a great plan on your part to move up here. I hope it goes as you wish. If you ever happen to see me walking around, please do stop and say hello.
Congratulations Serg for 25k subscribers. I wanted to say thank you for making videos I love watching them and get so excited when I see you have uploaded a video. I hope one day I can go to Thailand.
Glad you like them and thanks!
Oh ! This one was simply fantastic. I felt all your answers were informative and backed up with sound logic and conservative reasoning. Thanks so much for this and I wish you well Serg.
I’m very happy to know that you found the information useful Michael.
Congratulations on 25K. Loving this video. Great quality and very informative. Thank you Serg for sharing.
Very happy to know that you enjoyed this Aggie.
Congratulations Serg! 🎉🎉🎉 Always enjoy your adventures and sense of humour!
Thanks so much Helen!
Congratulations, Serg! You’re doing great. And you can do it. Show us more your adventure videos and living life style experiences there. 😃👍
More to come for sure. The air quality has greatly improved over the last week, so I can go and explore some more.
You are so peaceful and positive. I always appreciate your perspective.
That is so very kind of you Jim. Thank you so much.
Northern Thailand and Isan are waiting for you😊. I hope to see you roam everywhere in thailand!!
I absolutely want to go Isaan
Congrats on hitting 25k!!! You make some really good content! Keep up the good work! Also, good info in this video...
Thank you Jose, I’m glad you enjoy my videos.
great video - thanks for sharing and your honesty!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just discovered your channel and I love your videos. I am so glad you started doing video and now I can see them.🎉 Thank you and best of luck in your mindfulness practice 💐
Glad to have you on board! I appreciate your support Noémie.
Hi Serg, Thank you so much for promoting our country!. Love your vlogs.😊
Thank you! 😃
Hearty congratulations Serg for 25k subscribers. Absolutely crisp and superb video. Your answers to all the questions were perfect and most convincing. Man I envy you😂
I really do appreciate those warm words Jagdish! Comments like yours always make me smile.
Same here Serg. It feels nice and refreshing to watch your videos after a hectic day. And I have developed some special connection with you over these 12 months or so. I still remember the very first video I came across while I was planning my trip in June 22 and since then there is no single video of yours that I haven't watched till you say take care and bye.
I'm planning to semi retire in 2024 and move to Thailand before my 46th birthday - I've been to Thailand 8 times in the last 5 years and the country and people is what makes it so great. Can't wait to get a few things in place before the big move.
Agree with you about being more calm when in Thailand due to the culture, l now longer care about possessions and just live a minimal life.
Sounds like you’ve got it figured out! It’s not perfect, but I’m definitely happy living here. I wish you the very best of luck with your move. Nice username by the way. Lol.
All your answers are very good, reasonable and helpful. You've been through a lot. Your life is very interesting to learn. It's simple and always has the right idea for life.
Thank you very much for your kind words. At some point, I will do a video and share more information about how I grew up and where I have lived.
Love your videos and attitudes. Looking forward to seeing your more adventures.
Thanks so much!
Just found you Serg. Enjoying the content very much! Ty!
So happy to know you enjoyed it. Welcome aboard.
Great insight. Thanks for the content. Be safe.
Thanks, you too!
Saving another of your vids... hahaha thanks for it Serg!
Glad you like them!
Thank you for your answers and advice.
You are so welcome!
Great info !
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Serg for loving Thailand.💕
Love it here.
ขอบคุณมากค่ะ ที่คุณรักประเทศไทยและคนไทย,
และ ยินดีด้วย ที่คุณอาศัยอยู่เมืองไทย อย่างมีความสุข..
I really appreciate that!
ขอให้มีความสุขกับการได้อยู่อาศัยในประเทศไทย ขอบคุณที่รักประเทศไทย ครับ
Thank you for making me feel welcome here
Wow Serg- you packed all sorts of meaningful info into this vlog!!!🎉 I sure enjoy your channel and am looking forward to adding one more Californian to Bangkok in August. ❤
Awesome! Thank you and I wish you the best with leaving Cali! You won’t miss it.
I am very glad to run into your vdo clips. They are very different from several other you-tubers' clips. I agree with your views on several topics and have learned numerous exciting places ; the bottom line is quality. Thank you very much for what you have done ! Please keep up with your constructive works.
I am so happy to know that you have enjoyed my videos. There’s lots more to come. Thank you for your support! 😊🙏
Congratulations on 25.5k subscribers always enjoy your vids
I’m moving to Thailand in about a weeks time.. can’t wait ..
hopefully make it work so not have to leave ..
Awesome! Hope it work for you!
Thanks for another great video. Although I am Thai, I found it is very informative and insightful. Glad to hear you love Thailand and Thai people.
Glad yon enjoyed it Jan! Thanks for your support.
I’m a new follower and I really liked this video. Thanks for answering all those questions with insightful answers, as they were all the original questions that I had! You should visit an elephant sanctuary next!
Glad you found this video helpful. I’m very leery of the majority of the elephant sanctuary’s here. As far as I know, there’s only one or two that are really doing the right thing. I think I’m going to stay away from that kind of content.
คุณพูดดีมาก ฉันชอบความคิดของคุณ ขอให้คุณพักและทำยูทูปในไทยอย่างมีความสุข ขอให้คนติดตามคุณเยอะๆๆๆ
Thank you so very much for your kind words.
Man, you are doing awesome. I am pressing 60 years old and really have never “loved” where I lived. Great video.
I’m glad you enjoyed this video. It’s never too late for you to move and claim your happiness!
Great job Serge ….Clear as Crystal🎉
Thank you! Cheers!
You're such a lovely realistic person, Serg. I am glad to know you like Thailand with true feelings - without chasing after or running away from something.
The fact that you can see I come across that way makes me very happy. I try to be very genuine. Not everybody will like me, and I’m perfectly fine with that.
Great Q&A love it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
25,000! Congratulations! Happy where you live is so important
Yes! Thank you!
Excellent video Serg. Be safe.
Thanks, will do!
Hi Serg! New subscriber here, I've been doing research on Thailand as my partner and I have been planning going there soon! Your channel is a treasure trove of information! We could listen to you talk forever!
Welcome aboard! So happy that you found my videos, entertaining and useful. If you’re looking for personalize in depth information, I offer when our video consultations. You can read in the description how to contact me directly.
Great vlog❤❤❤
Thank you!!
Great vdo

Enjoyed the video Serg
Happy to hear that Jon!
Wise words. Congrats on the milestone 👏
Thanks so much!
congrats on 25k serg 🎉
Thank you Mark!
Greta Stuff! I subscribed a month ago and been planning to head that way for a year, be there in August, Thank you and you are important to this community. oh the grocery vid was informative.
Thanks Brian. Happy to know you find this info useful.
Been to Thailand several times and plan on retiring there once the time comes. Your videos are very informative for the people that’s never been or had questions about Thailand, and I very much agreed with you on the amazing generosity of the Thai people as well as how safe it is there compared to the US. A Thai friend of mine once told me when you’re living in Thailand you are considered Thai, there is no white, black, Asian, Latinos, etc., you are just Thai 😄
I’m glad you found the information useful. I hope you’re able to move here and live your best life soon. Take care!
I agree for sure. The same can’t be said for Japan unfortunately!
A brilliant vlog,superb information ,nice one 👍🇨🇷💯
Glad you enjoyed it
Well done Serg! You look and sound great - so full of high energy. A natural in front of camera. 👍😎
Thank you Yvonne! I really do appreciate that.
Hi serg im new to your channel i enjoyd this video a lot best regards 🌞

เป็นกำลังใจ ขอให้ประสบผลสำเร็จ ทุกๆอย่าง จาก เอฟ ซี ครับ
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that
Congratulations, know you more and love the park that you made video. 🎉🎉
Yes, Lumpini definitely my favorite park! Thank you for your support!
Great video Serg! Watching from my home in Koh Samui. Hope to see you here again soon.
Awesome man. I hear Koh Samui is super busy now.
🎉🎉 congratulations for 25k subs.
Thank you so much 😀
Your Q&A just got hijacked at 4:18 by a photo bomber 😂🤣
On a more serious note, I completely agree the best thing about Thailand really is the people. Great Video
Yeah she did. Lollll
Good to see you 👍👍👍
You too thanks.
Love ur Videos❤
Thank you!
Great Chanel 👍 love it

Congratulations to 25k
Thank you sir!
Great video Serg 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good video Serc! Very informative
Glad you enjoyed it. Serc is da man. Lol
@@LifewithSerg Serc 2024!!
I love your last words about moving around that is to .. 'fix inside yourself first' (before pointing out to others). Great idea.
If we don’t fix what’s inside, we will not be happy anywhere. Glad you enjoyed this video. Thank you for your support.
Buddha teaching is the focal point of his teaching to attend happiness in life.
ขอบคุณมากค่ะ ที่คุณรักเมืองไทย🙏🇹🇭❤️
Thank you!
Congrats on the 25K mate!!
It's time to buy a computer though haha
Thanks a ton Adam!
GREAT WORK
Thank you! Cheers!
Good video Serg!
Thank you Wade!
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Great vid mate.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh yes, Khao Soi is so good! I think it's mostly a northern dish but they have a few places that sell it here and it's so great. Larb Moo is another of my favorites too. I think renting a motorbike for a month and trying it out is so smart. Dude, it's 8 hours from Bangkok to Chiang Mai? I thought that was wrong because I am way further north (you are 5-hours south of me) but you know what.... it's faster for you to go to Chiang Mai than us because of the road. That is wild! I had no idea. Good call never buying here. I have had crappy neighbors that play the stereo until 4am, construction factories pop up, currently a college that has weekday concerts until 3am. Being able to move has saved my sanity.
It’s actually five hours or maybe six hours. Not eight. My mistake. But even when my friend left me his motorbike for a month I didn’t use it much in the city. I mainly use it for motorbike trips, but I’m going to go and rent a bike again for the month just to see how much use I get out of it
@@LifewithSerg That is amazing. You could beat me to Chiang mai if we both left at the same time by several hours. Crazy if you look on the map and see how much closer it looks like I am :)
Appreciate the honest and realistic answers. Good hear. With everything going on in the US, we always think about making a global move.
I toured with the idea of moving to another country before, but the pandemic was really pushing me to do it. No regrets whatsoever.
I love watching your vdo
Thank you so much 😀
Nice bro to answer all questions 👍 👌 nice job
Thank you!
I love Thailand also, and I love your video, I watch all your video , It's great
I really love Thailand and the Thai people. Thank you for your support. 🙏
Well done Video!
Heya! Long time no see. Glad you enjoyed it.
Mazel tov on 25k🎉...
Shalom my friend. Thanks!
Glad you enjoy Thailand! I am going in August myself! Do your thing! Enjoy your life and my motto what meant to be, will be. Expect the unexpected in a good way. You keep learning as you keep living wherever you are! DARA
You have a wonderful mindset. I hope you have a wonderful time here.
@Life with Serg I am born there and visit there 😆 🤣 ill be visiting there for a month and spending time in Bangkok too
@Life with Serg I am back to watching RUclips again, my life been busy during covid and now that ended. I finally have time and looking forward to trip to Thailand. Only 4 months!
Like this video. Thanks for deciding to live in Thailand.
Glad you enjoyed it
New sub and have been binge watching your channel. My experience is never buy anything but transportation in a foreign country and never buy anything you can’t leave behind. When you get a chance go and visit Phuket and Chiang Mai. You may find yourself relocating. Keep up the great videos. Ex-LEO.
Oh thanks man! I appreciate your support.
I like the way you look at all the things around you in a positive way. Wish you all the best wherever you go. Please be careful, there are some scammers around.
I try to look at things in a positive way. It just makes life a lot easier. Thank you for your support.
Congratulations on 25k, I can see its going to definitely increase from here on! So I guess the bicycle is out of the question now huh? probably to dangerous.....thanks for the video, I'm going to have my wife watch it, she still very cynical of Bangkok...Matt
Hello Matthew! No, the real reason why I haven’t bought a bicycle is because of the PM 2.5 air quality here. It’s been absolutely horrific the last three months. I still plan to buy a bicycle, but I have to be very careful where I ride it.
Congratulations well done Serg
Thanks Bernie!
❤😊😊 love Thailand ❤❤
😊🙏❤️
25k subs kicking arse
Thanks to all of you!!
good answer for us all.
Glad it was helpful.
Great advice Serg! True, the sidewalks could use some fixing up and the traffic can be tough in Bangkok at times... but nowhere near as crazy as Hanoi or HCMC!
I can’t wait to go to Vietnam. I’ve heard the traffic there is so much worse than it is here. Need to go on experience it firsthand. 😅
@@LifewithSerg Walking across the street there is definitely an experience like no other haha
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Great advice, Serg!
As Thai, I totally agree that sidewalks here in Thailand are horrible!
Enjoy watching you get lost in my country 😅
I plan to get lost a lot more in future videos. Glad you enjoy them.
I hope I can move to Thailand retire soon within this year. I lived in California for the last 36 years but I hate it, people are rude, robberies, stealing every where. The land of sucker, that’s reality. This country is going down like hell.
Same reasons I left. “Good weather” is not enough of a reason to stay in California. Lol
Awesome
Thanks Larry.
Wishing u reaching 100 K subs. very soon ….Serg.
Many thanks!
i love Thailand
Me too
❤️🌺😘🥰คนไทยยินดีต้อนรับ อย่าลืมเที่ยวสงกราณ์ทั่วในเมืองไทย
Oh yes I will.
