When you said you were sitting at your table thinking to yourself “I’ve got to get out of here”, I know that feel all too well. What someone else considers “normal life”, we consider it as misery and a painful existence. And when you are experiencing that much misery, of course you are going to find a way out by any means necessary. It’s almost like you are escaping death by getting out of that rat race. Some can tolerate a simple 9 to 5, and others cannot tolerate it at all. People often wonder how o travel all over the place and I always say “if you were as desperate as I was, you would find a way too”.
Quite literally! You are so right.
Not sure noisy highway best backdrop for video, but thanks for your good message and keep it coming ..
Thanks for your comment
Hi Mike!! Retired 5 years ago and travel each year to Thailand since then. At the point of making a move myself!! Donnie in arizona
Would love to meet up for lunch when you're in Samui! Safe travels.
I am a subscriber. Here’s a tip. You will notice on play back of your video that the words on signs are reversed. You have an option in your phone so that this is not flipped. It will look more professional. I just thought you might want to know.
Is there a way to do this in-phone without using the rear-facing camera?
@@AbroadInThailand if you want your selfie camera to NOT flip the picture or videos, then all you need to do (Android) is to go into your phone’s camera settings and turn OFF “Picture previewed”. All phones have this option including iPhone.
@@AbroadInThailand yes, mirror and the video
Informative video, thanks.
You're welcome. Glad you found it useful!
Thanks for this raw, unscripted point of view of your personal journey and the beautiful island that you now call home. Very inspiring!! How could I not want to come there to check it out. Just keep on moving ahead and you'll get there---- a good philosophy to live by!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your support.
Great insights you have man, really appreciate your experience. Looks like you really are in the right place, seems like paradise.
I'm thinking of coming to thailand for a few months but am not sure how good the internet is, which I'll need for my day to day. Do you happen to know what the average speeds are for the wifi and mobile data? Cheers.
Thanks for the support man! I consistently get around 200MBps down speeds at my house in Koh Samui. Roughly 95% uptime. It's great!
You can apply retirement 10 years Thai visa.
Is that the same as non-O-X visa?
mike dude good story may 22nd NVDA earnings report it was good $1060 after hrs keep walking stay fit
Awesome congrats! I had some NVDA stock and sold it for zero profit during my travels.
wow... cool
Thanks
There’s a big point you should cover which is the cost of living in such place and the earnings potential.
That's another good idea for a video. I'd like to make another video about earning foreign income online from Thailand.
@@AbroadInThailand I mean mate you are selling the life that comes with moving to Thailand aren’t ya? As a marketer you should be aware of this since those who are about to take the plunge need that information. What’s the cost of running a life over there, is Thai difficult? Is it necessary? Don’t take me wrong but beautiful beaches and pristine walls won’t pay the emergency tickets to get back home, also as a good marketer your cap reminds me of my good old Patagonia cap that was worn off as hell but I kept using it since I wasn’t able to afford a new one, is the life over there the kind of life that keeps you on budget? Beware of the marketing nuggets even your clothing may suggest
Again, don’t take it wrong nor personal, I’m on the same boat.
@@vicentesoto1628 I forgot to wear my brand new red Air Asia cap for this video. Will put it on for the next one! 😉
I’m planning to move to Thailand in 6 months time but unsure how to navigate the digital nomad, visa and tax issues.
Understood! Please go ahead and schedule a consultation call on my website. We will go over your available options. Link in the description.
good lesson and i buy my ticet to thai to night new visa time start 27mai
Awesome 👍
Thanks for the video, that's great info!!
Glad it was helpful for you!
What did you say your current visa is or future visa plan?
Smart Visa
"Lazy rich people"...breathtaking
Haha glad you liked this turn of phrase 😉
Also, you didn’t mention the language barrier, you’ve been living over there for nearly 4 years, so what’s with that? How do you set up businesses?
Language barrier can be an issue from time to time especially seeing as I still don't speak Thai although it's typically not a big deal here in Koh Samui.
Have you been to Koh Lanta in the south?
Yes but it's been over 4 years. Past due time for another visit!
Are there many people doing trading for living a in Thailand
Wouldn't be surprised... There's people doing all sorts of things to live in Thailand.
I’ll be in Thailand July for 90 days. Exploring retirement but might like to work part-time. Any advice?
Thanks for your comment. I recommend applying for your retirement visa outside the country if you haven't already. Then you can collect it during your visit to Thailand. You will need to do a report every 90 days which automatically resets when you leave the country. Just my two cents 😉
It’s a 90 day “O” visa. I have it in hand. So I can just keep renewing it?
I’m a guitarist/musician and music teacher is if possible to work part-time in some area of music as a foreigner?
@@GilletteDBG Not on a retirement visa unfortunately
@@GilletteDBG Yes you can renew every year
Koh Lipe have you been there?
Not yet would love to finally visit soon!
4 years? What visa is that?
Multiple different visas
What about the cost of a Medical insurance
Check out SafetyWing for health insurance
Forget that pacific cross is the way to go for longterm
your attitude shows why you were the one delivering the food.
That's your opinion.
Is it true everyone that stays over 180 days has to pay tax on pensions and money that comes into the country.
Technically yes
it seems to be the new American dream 2024..leave the hamsterwheel in America with high prices overconsumption debt bad food and a lifestyle that makes u sick and move abroad
Just a example: Thailand has higher Life expectancy and better healthcare than America
2014?

It's called The American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it 😴
@@AbroadInThailand so true..and pretty brainwashed before the sleep
