That's the best move you can do 👍I did it also last September and came to Thailand with just hand luggage but with a lot of positivity and curiosity. Weather, cost of living, people's positivity, and life partner. Good reasons to make big changes in your life, leave your home country and live in Thailand.
Not cheap anymore! Go to Laos, Cambodia or VietNam. Thai people are sweet. The Thai government and it's policies treat farang like shit! Passport is needed to pay PEA, 3BB or telephone bill. Throw a dart at a map of the World! Timor Leste sounds good!

I’m planning on leaving Japan (non-Japanese) and starting over in Thailand in the next three years. The video and comments are very encouraging, thank you everyone
Hi! I don’t know if you still keep your plan. Japanese and Thai are very similar in manners. Shy, traditional and respect for the elderly. But we are totally opposite how to live our life. Japanese is intense, serious, hardworking and well-organized. Thai are easygoing, fun (we eat and laugh all day), work hard on the clock but we know how to enjoy everything even when we work and we are chaotic. Lol 😂😂 You will get some culture shock during your transition from Japan to Thailand.
In Thailand, having enough money is important for a comfortable life. With around 1,000 euros per month (36,000 Thai baht), you can live adequately. However, with 1,500 euros per month (54,000 Thai baht), you can enjoy a more comfortable lifestyle. And if you have 2,000+ euros per month (72,000-100,000 Thai baht), you'll be able to live like a king.🎉❤
@@jomontanee The guy in his comment said he does not live in a comfortable life, with his 12 k Thai bat Anyhow thank you for commenting , and I am very interested in tailand, thank you so much sir, peace be on you ,
Ive sed it before, what a wonderful peaceful life Ben, bit more eventful in and around the village, a bag of frogs 200 bht !! Whenever i see baby frogs which the locals make into a soup i buy them all up and release them into the nearest pond...wife never too happy with that!! and dont for christ sake let her mother know.. Whenever we get big big rain the locals are out gathering up the frogs by torchlight, considered a delicasy round here. Cheers..
I think i speak for many of us, we are jealus. We want the same lifestyle as you but the hard part is to find a honest, loyal and trustworty Thai lady. I been traveling to Thailand for the last 15 years and still to find that lady ( im not a bar guy) Good luck to you and hope all will be what you wish for in the end. Enjoying your content
Totally agree, there are some disaster storys with failed falang relationships, rental is the only credible option in for most of us which is still a good option
Am 42 years old. I never travelled outside india. I rarely had physical relationship but i like to. I don't like hookup or hookers. I like to be in relationship with one girl . is Thailand village life good for me to find girl?
Looking at your rice planted to mitigate soil erosion, I just got 10,000 free, Lemon grass plants. Lemon grass, so my GF's mother says, is excellent for the prevention of soil erosion, with the added benefit of the Mossies hate it!!! Just a thought if you have more to plant. The plants were free from the Government as my GF's mother is a registered farmer. Looking good mate
Enjoying your videos, they get more interesting, thank you. You seem to be doing much the same as we are, growing seeds, plant rice. It's a nice way of life... Enjoy
Good on you. Wishing you and family a happy life ahead. Ryan of channel 'Life in Bamboo - Thailand' did the same. You may well be familiar with he and his rural property in Buriram. Interesting guy.
That Thai dessert is Banana, Coconut and red bean. That's probably what you thought the Pork was😅 My Wife eats them a lot. They are quite delicious aren't they?
@@LifeinThailand777 What area of tsiland is it. If you think its a good region. Maybe I'll get a place there. Is it generally a safe and good place ? Mike nice to meet
Sawasdee... new farmers You use to throw rice But if you plant the rice by seed Rice yields better results with grain size. but will be much more tired You grow jasmine rice if you harvest and when you eat it for the first time It will be the most delicious rice in the world. 😊👍🌾🌾🌾🌴
Som tam with Boo kem or salt crab is one of my favorite dishes in Thailand. I about cried when I saw hard green mangos growing on your farm. I so love them with salt, sugar, and pepper. I could go on and on about all the things I miss. Right now my wife is in no big hurry to return to Thailand due to the political situation. Happy life to you and Anna.
Just joined your channel. I also watch Life In Bamboo as he lives close to me. 10 years now living in Lahan Sai. Love your house and the land. Wish I had bought a larger plot so I could grow some stuff and have a fishing pond.
How interesting! I am from Puerto Rico, dad grows coffe and citrus. Mom is from central Louisiana USA, her father planted rice, huge rice fields….beautiful.Many BLESSINGS! New follower! Where are you? I am going to a village north of Chiang Mai
Hi great to see the builders working on your house again. Another option for stabilising the banks of your canal and pond is bamboo. I would provide shade to reduce evaporation, and material for projects. Some species could get too thick and reduce prevent access tho. HTH
I really enjoy your uploads. M family and I watch them together. we’re in the process of selling off our US holdings and will be setting up a home base in Hua Hin for the rest of our travels. Hopefully by the first of 2024. Thanks again.
Blessings ☦️, looking good everything is. But I think you should put boulders and rocks around the lower base of the earth near your home and the road near to it.
Great videos. I love them all. You're always very positive and easy to watch. I built a house in Chiang Mai 10 years ago. Luckily we are connected to PEA so don't need to worry about power like you do. I've found with the Thai punishing climate, quality of products and workmanship, things go wrong far more here then in the UK and require more maintenance. You have a great house but the one thing I would do differently myself is to locate the solar panels nearer ground level for easy maintenance, cleaning or adding additional units one day as you have plenty of land available. As you often have a breeze coming from the mountain, perhaps a small wind turbine would be useful too to consider for the future?
Thanks so much. Yes a wind turbine is something I’ve looked into. Once we move into the house I’ll look at it more seriously. Thanks again for the comment 🙏🙏🌞🪴
We’re planting trees etc around the outside wall once that raised land is finished. Inside the wall (around the house) we want totally low maintenance TBH, opposite of the farm 🙏

You have got a amazing house there mate, that would be cost a million plus in the UK do you pay rates or any similar cost, I am thinking of selling my house in the UK and moving to Thailand. Will you keep the rice or sell it, if you keep it you will need a rat proof barn to keep it in, keep the vlogs coming mate they are interesting. Them desserts wrapped in banana leaves, are amazing I buy them everyday.
There are no rates or equivalent here Robert. Just electric and water bills. In our rented 2 bed house in the city, our latest electricity bill was 1400 baht (£32) and water 70 baht (£1.60) for the month. Also the rental amount is just 5000 baht (£115) per month. Thailand is only expensive if you eat imported food, drink beer every day and chase too many women 😇
@@LifeinThailand777 @LifeinThailand777 Can I join you down there ? Or live near ? I would like to help you building... and other work and things I can do nearby .
Hi Ben @ Anna thank you for sharing very helpful and good videos , myself planning ( wishing) to move back Thailand in the next few years. But my partner he worried that he not going to be able to understand local people when they’re speaking Thai. But after watched your video seeing you speaking Thai quite well my partner seem to relax more about Thailand ( My partner he never been to Thailand yet) But we are going very soon.
Another great video. When I see your new house towering above the flat land, I wonder if you need to put a lightning rod on top? Plenty of lightning in this region but I’ve never seen lightning rods on isolated buildings around here.
Cheers mate fellow Brit coming this December. Can't wait. Find a good wife come back for a year earn 30k them move for good. Everything about the family orientated life and the nature is all I need. Everything else is a bonus.
I've planned to move to Ayutthaya next summer to move in with my Thai G/F of 4 years I'm 50 is there any tips on things you wished you had done before leaving the UK reference moving ? I hope I've got everything sorted but doesn't hurt to get tips from someone who's already done it .
We brought everything we owned inc furniture etc in a 20 ft shipping container. It cost us about £4000. Probably if I did it again I’d sell most of my belongings in Uk and buy them again over here, just bringing suitcases. It was middle of covid lockdown when we moved here, so we didn’t really have the option of selling our stuff as every bugger was locked in their houses 😅
Yeah we considered all options, but we have some antique furniture, as well as sentimental stuff that couldn’t be bought again in Thailand. It was better for us to pay for shipping 👍
We opted to build a house here in Thailand rather than pay into a mortgage for a property in the Uk. The house and land total cost here is only about £100,000, as opposed to average price of a house in Uk £290,000. Neither of us own property in the Uk 🙏
Hi how much cost the hause big laik this is expensive? I watching video in Thailand how people live there some poor some have very good live there im really loved to move there
Hi mark, she layers dried cow shit with hay, and skewers it with bamboo into the bed of the pond. The shit and the hay need to basically be in the water without separating and floating away. There’s probably better ways of doing it using something like chicken wire mesh, but the bamboo skewers seem to work ok. It’s not an immediate result, because the shit sandwich will produce plankton which is what cleans the water, but you’ll definitely see a difference over 6 months. We tend to make a new sandwich twice a year 😅. Hope this helps mate Edit - my wife says chicken wire is a bad idea 😅
What province are you in? I see your property is surrounded by hills, so you're probably not in Isarn, unless its near the Cambodian or Lao border, where there are actually some hills.

Is life in rural Thailand recommended for a 65 year old retiree on 65,000 per month pension
Pound or baht?
We rent a nice 2 bed house on the edge of a beautiful city for just 5,000 baht per month, and that’s our biggest expense 👍
I think if you’re not an alcoholic or woman chaser, you can have a nice life on B65,000, but find something to do with your time !
Well said 😇
That's big money in Thailand especially if you choose rural life here in Thailand. But in the end, only you can control how much you spend money 😀
This is funny , its like a steamed banana cake ,
