Hi Alina, greetings from New Zealand. We moved here in 2005, my son was than just 8. I came from Germany to the US, loved it sooo. We lived in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Dearborn Michigan, I absolutely loved living there. We moved to Windsor Ontario Canada, because we couldn't get US citizenship. Go figure, all the illegals get it. We became Canadian citizens in 1994. After I met and married my second husband, we ended up in New Zealand. I have a love/hate relationship with New Zealand. It is too hot for us in the Summer, no winter sports. Well, we have to drive too Auckland for the ice skating and skiing. The snow planet is the place to go skiing and Paradise ice, the ice skating. It takes me 2 plus hours from Hamilton to reach them places. Or in the Winter here, one can go skiing on an active volcano. Yup you heard right, Mt Ruapehu, is the place. But now they take that away too.😢 Canada is absolutely shocking right now, I would keep my citizenship, like we did, and get outa there. Your Apartment is amazing, too this is too say, we lived in an Condo downtown Windsor Ontario, that had a pool, hot tub, sauna and gym. It used to cost $650.00 CAN, in early 2000. We used to love it...❤
Now it's old and crappy and they want 1600.00 CAN for the 1 bedroom condo.
We would love to return too Canada, but hear the warning bells loud and clear. Thanks for all this....
So ya, move to South Asia. Also, you still can visit your mum for 6 month, and she can visit with you. The Canadian taxes are crazy, and surely I wouldn't pay them. The Healthcare system is failing too.
❤❤❤❤_I_❤alina.😅
If you are staying in a condo complex that has a hotel license, then it is legal.
Alina, ignore the comments of people who have absolutely no idea. Bangkok is one of the greatets megacities on our planet. The rental price is very good for what is on offer. I only use Airbnb in Thailand, it's not the cheapest but by far the best alternative for shorter stays of under 6 months.
Absolutely :)
I lived (based myself) in BKK for a year and it was probably the best year of my life.
The buzz of the city is off the scale and you can live so cheaply buying restaurant quality food from lovely little ladies at their street stalls 3 times a day.
As Alina states, it’s so cheap to fly or take a bus to places like Laos,Vietnam, Cambodia or further in to South East Asia.
I loved the convenience of dropping my laundry off and collecting it hours later fresh and folded for a ridiculously cheap price.
Should also state that Thai people are possibly the friendliest people you could ever wish to meet.
Yes Alina, 100% you should base yourself in BKK🇹🇭❤
Great points made, thank you!
There is nowhere in Europe or a western country, where the people are friendly and laid-back like Thailand.
Agree, Thais are the sweetest people. Even just their speaking tone and demeanor is so gentle.
Keep squawking about how cheap things are and the prices will soon rise. I often wonder at how thick you people are.
I’m from Toronto I spent Dec and January in Thailand and already counting down the days until I can go back next Dec. loooove Thailand.
As a Thai person from another province, I find visiting new places to be incredibly exhilarating. Whenever I find myself in Bangkok, I enjoy exploring the city and discovering new things. But it's not just within Thailand that I seek adventure - traveling abroad to both wealthy and less developed countries alike always leaves me feeling even more excited, challenged, and constantly uncovering impressive new discoveries.
That's awesome!
Glad to see you enjoy Bangkok
Definitely Bangkok has a lot to offer and should be your permanent home. The view from your apartment building is awesome!
I have former American work colleagues who live in Thailand after having been assigned to Asian sales territories. One is in Bangkok, the other in Chiang Mai. They tell me there’s no reason to leave other than visiting family, or traveling to other Asian countries to enjoy the cultures, sights, and cuisine. Jump on the opportunity to immerse yourself in Asia likewise.
great apt! i think there is no question you should stay for 6-12 months. this is as perfect a time as ever. just do it and don’t look backward or second guess yourself. it’s obvious you have found great joy
I hear you, I also left Canada (Montreal), 1.5 years go, and since then lived in Australia, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea (Jeju Island) and now in Tokyo.
Those are superb destination choices!
How are you making money staying in so many countries?
@@Jepi369 She's gorgeous and a good presenters. She probably gets millions of dollars just to mention a business or product on her videos, and millions more when ads are run on her videos. She's living the life most of us can only dream of. The youtuber "Mr. Beast" makes $700 million per year. So Alina is probably making somewhere in between.
@@Jepi369 my youtube channel is my full time job
@@Jepi369 I only spend about $1900 Canadian per month traveling , there is no way I can afford living in Canada , there id need around $4000 per month, being stuck in Montreal cold winter from November till April ..
"I want it to be absolutely quiet. I don't want to hear any neighbors." I am so much the same! (I travel full-time too.)
So important!
Happy Tuesday, Alina! ❤
Happy to see you again
As a middle-aged fellow Canadian who lived abroad between the ages of 27 and 46, including 2 years in Bangkok, I endorse your choice to relocate overseas at this time in your life. I'm glad I did it when I was full of beans, so to speak. Now in my 50s and re-settled in Canada, I don't know if I could summon the energy to do it again although I do want to escape the winter when I retire.
Good to hear from someone who has done it 🙂
What a great video and I his want to jump thru the screen I miss Thailand so much. Also thank you so much for that Mondly language promotional! Amazing savings! I’m exciting to begin.
You are most welcome! Hope you enjoy it!
Another superb video Alina. Very interesting indeed. Well done. Happy onward travels. 🙂
Thank you!
I love BKK and Thailand so much, I bought a 20 year Thai Elite Visa a couple years ago! Best 30k I ever spent! :) Thanks for the tour!
Glad you’re loving it 🙂
That makes so much sense moving to Thailand. You have a good head on your shoulders. That apartment is spectacular.
Looks amazingly beautiful Alina! Stay safe and enjoy! I have a psych conference coming up in Bangkok next April and I am looking forward to it! I will be in a nice hotel as that’s where the conference will be held! Live your videos! Thanks so much! Terrific info Alina! Affluent in the Downtown area sounds amazing for the cost you are paying!! Awesome!
That's awesome, hope you have a great time on your trip!
@@AlinaMcleod Thank you for your kind reply!
Thank you very much Alina for this beautiful video. The tour of your apartment was really nice and from what I could see, I think that you made the right choice to rent it, as a bedroom in a hotel could have been much more expensive!! It is absolutely amazing, also for the comfort of being free and indipendent. ❤
My pleasure! It was definitely the best choice for the price and comfort!
Love you Alina so much more ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Do what makes you happy. Life is too short ❤🙏🇨🇦
Thank you for this amazing video
Good video. Interesting info. Nice building and neighborhood.
Alina, your points are spot on. Like anything in life wait a minute it will change again. One thing that is a constant though is you Alina, you are bright, intelligent and a solid person,
and lets not forget how beautiful you are. You tell like it is. and know what's working for you. Thank you for your insightful thoughts. Sending you Hugs and Kisses from Harriet, Jim and Yuki. ❤️❤️❤️
Aw thanks very much guys!
Love your apartment in Bangkok. Also your analysis regarding relocated your residence makes total sense.
Happy belated birthday bro 😀
Hi Alina...I think your making a great decision about moving..It seems like a wonderful opportunity for you and your career..love your videos and keep up the great work you do..thanks, chris k.
Thank you very much!
Hi I have lived in the U.S. for 50 years and now retired in Laos and Thailand. I love the U.S. but doesn’t make sense financially to live there anymore. I can do and travel so much more with the exxxtra money that I saved and my quality of life has not really been affected that much. Do what makes sense and keep yourself happy. Looking forward to your next video
Glad you found what works for you!
Good and insightful video. Tq
What a fantastic place! Just found your channel recently and am so enjoying your content.
Thank you very much!
Hi Emily
Thanks for doing this video.
Hello Alina,
Belayed all my best wishes for your Birthday last week! Stay well on all of your travels.
🎁🌺
Best regards, Ralf
Thank you!
Beautiful unit, thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤
Thonglor and Ari are definitely the best places to stay in Bangkok, imo. Have a good time there, Alina.
$33 a day it’s way cheaper than 4* hotels . The location is one of the best in Bangkok also. Very nice.
Great video Alina and I really love your apartment and through building with all of its amenities. I think that you need to do whats best for you while you are still young, and at least for right now that means living outside of Canada. Wishing you all the best in whatever you decide and am really looking forward to your next video!
Very true, thank you!
@@AlinaMcleod You are most welcome!
@@AlinaMcleod I am so proud of you and for what you do. You bring so much joy to so many others and not a lot of people can say that they do that.
I actually saw you in Bangkok, and in one of my videos, you are right there 😂😂!!
Wish you the best! 😊
Nice you’re video ❤🎉
Super clean condo and very affordable 👌
welcome Alina ...from KrungThep with Love ❤
Omg! I like it, your video amazing
That is a premium condo you have been staying at! I'm of the opinion that your decision to move out of Canada for the time being is a great idea. I want to say I have a 2 year timeline to think about moving there myself. I've never been but I have seen enough travel vlogs to feel like I have been there. I plan on making a visit sometime in the near future. Thanks for the content! :)
That’s awesome, hope you have a great time!
You are really enjoying 😮 with your time 😉🎉
Hello Alina! 😄🙏👋🌟 I hope your having a marvelous day! This is really a excellent super fantastic video! 😁👍❤️👏📹🇹🇭🏢🥇💯💫✨🌟 Wow! The luxury apartment looks so absolutely amazing! It’s really nice! Also the pool, the rooftop patio and the view of the city from the gym is so truly magnificent! The Mondly app looks very interesting! I will definitely check it out! Thank you very much Alina to share with us this marvelous video. You are the best and greatest world traveler adventurer! 🙂👍👏✈️🌎📹🥇💯🏆💫🌟 I wish you Alina a beautiful excellent magnificent blessed day. 😊🙏❤️👋👍💫✨🌟
Thank you very much, David!
Hi Alina 🌞 ! I'll take the beach ⛱️ over snow ❄️ anytime & fiscally it seems sensible to stay. Good Luck 😊 !
"Methinks:" Locating to Bangkok is the right choice for the career that you have; lovely friendly people, affordable rent, admirable lifestyle, laid-back ambiance, delicious food - no cooking and dish washing, affordable travel destinations within reach and above all you'll be able to keep you sanity about you! Enjoy girl!👍
I think you 've made a great choice to move there. I'm also from Toronto and planning to move to east Asia soon for pretty much the same reasons as you except I'm not a content creator.
Alina, I would have considered doing what you are planning to do going forward. As a travel vlogger, there are so many interesting places to explore, especially here in Asia, with all its different cultures, enthicities and diversities. This is even more so since you are still young and have all the energy and freedom to explore the world. Go where your heart is and follow your dreams. Good luck on your journey.
Very true, thank you 🙂
@@AlinaMcleod
Alina, getting that Thai elite visa can indeed be a tricky business BUT it can be done, provided you do some groundworks with agencies (preferably a law firm for first time application) that specializes in handling such matters. In the case of retirement visa, you need to open a bank account showing a deposit of USD40K or thereabout and a health insurance policy that cost around USD2K annually. This is a renewable yearly visa. My brother in law resides now in Phuket under retirement visa.
To simplify matters, many well known RUclipsrs move around countries, staying up to 3 months each on extendable visa. This may relief you on the tax issue too. Once again, all the best to you in whatever decision you take.
Your smile makes this world more beautiful.
Looks like an incredible place.
Hi Alina!You're so Pretty ❤️❤️
Yes!!!
PS you must be doing well to spend that much on an apartment in Bangkok, thoroughly deserved too. I'm in Kuala Lumpur at the moment but will be heading back to Bangkok some time fairly soon, I just can't stay away.
Thank you so much 🙂
Moved to Bangkok last year from Belleville ON. Safe to say that It has been one of the best decisions of my life.
Glad I've find you. At last a vlog from a woman in Thailand.
Bangkok is an obvious choice:
1. The city is buzzing with endless content possibilities and Asia in general is the new economic frontier so you will have tons of business opportunities as a Western presenter.
2. Very safe, inexpensive housing, best food in the world, lots of activities and events.
3. You have many friends there and around SE Asia, plus there are a lot of youtubers living or traveling through there at all times that you can collaborate with.
4. Tons of quick getaways around Asia, Australia, Middle East. Europe is only 8 hours away.
5. Paradise settings and the most fun region of the world. You will be constantly enjoying your life rather than living the bland, humdrum Western lifestyle where you won't be interacting with people much or doing interesting activities like in Asia.
Wow! One thousand a month Us Dollars. That is a great deal and it looks like a beautiful building and area. Good choice! I am glad that you have decided to live someplace cheaper.
Very Nice ! You are young and powerful. Good Understanding. Motivate another one... 👍
As a 57 year old woman from small town Saskatchewan, I love watching your videos! I recognize myself in you as you explore the world and your struggles on deciding where to go, live, etc. with Canada pulling heartstrings. Your analytical conclusions often clashing with emotional tugs will be something you will most likely struggle with for some time but take heart in knowing you’re on the right track! I left Canada in my early thirties and have tried on several occasions to return back “home” but could never make it last. I love Canada, love Saskatchewan and am very much Canadian at heart but the current economy, culture and general decline of our beloved country cannot be denied. Hence, I have made the hard decision to end my expat life and become an immigrant, making a new country my home. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. I find Canada treats me better as a tourist than a resident or citizen. Go where you can grow!
Thank you for sharing that and certainly relatable. It's sad when the country you thought you would spend the rest of your life in takes a turn in a way you never expected.
It’s been a long time coming. 😢
I wish you happy trails! 🤠
Thank you very much suggesting attraction
You can find cheaper but can you find better for cheaper / that’s the key. Go with what you’re comfortable with and forget the naysayers. Love your videos.
Yes, and you'll get my place in Phuket free of charge. Howdy, almost neighbor.
Bangkok and KL are my top 2 choices to be based in. KL is a little cheaper and English is more widely spoken but Bangkok is just an exciting place to be!
Cool place and tremendous view from the gym and pool. I assume your apartment is air-conditioned? Happy trails and travels!
Yes, definitely need good air conditioning in Bangkok!
I could be wrong but I think Bangkok Pat also lives in the Thong Lor area. If you haven't done it already, you must go in the Old English pub which is right by Thong Lor station.
very nice conversation about comparison living conditions in Bangkok and Toronto. You're right the nature of your job requires or demands you to live somewhere close to as many destinations as possible. Wow! that's an awesome to live in that residential building. Glad to see you have a chance to enjoy a high end living there in Bangkok as well as a high maintenance city princess (just joking). Keep up the good work no matter where you are.
Hi Alina, loved your video. Nicely priced apartment in Bangkok. Plse can you include health insurance on all these places you travel to. U probably have already. What are the best healthcare options in your travel experience. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! I use just emergency medical from safety wing (linked in the description of the video) and pay anything I want additionally out of pocket.
Watching you vid and vid from retired working for you chanel and think about moving in thailand
Hey Alina; Welcome to Thailand. Finally we're neighbors. I staycation in Pattaya for over a year now. Check out Pattaya during the Songkran festival. I also considered BKK, but it's just too busy. I prefer the beach lifestyle -- and it's cheaper than BKK.
We hope to return to Thailand in 2026 for a month instead of just 2 weeks. We will see what happens, but that is the plan. You have done a great job of representing the various countries you have visited. I wish you all the best in your future plans.
Thank you very much and hope you guys have a great time!
I spent winter months in Asia and US in Summer/Fall 😊
Your lighting always looks so beautiful in your videos (or maybe your face is just that naturally beautiful and glowing? ☺️). I am curious what digital nomads like to use for lighting in their videos. I just dragged my giant ring light to Costa Rica from the US, but I am sure there must be a better way!! Is there a portable light you recommend?? I love your place in Bangkok. My husband and I are starting to get the itch to travel in southeast Asia again!!
Thank you! It's just good ol natural light! I used to use a ring light as well and while they are helpful when you need something really direct and no good windows you can use, I find they are too harsh and artificial looking. Hope you guys make it out to SEA soon!
@@AlinaMcleod oh wow, very nice! I'll try to get some jungle sun in my videos 🌞
I'm assuming you talk slowly and use pauses before each word so a variety of your audience can understand....very nice of you to do that.
Your appartment is superb and I'm sure you are very comfortable. Your current lifestyle permits you to live where you wish and you can work from anywhere. For some (like me) we like to be near family and friends. Your situation may be different. I say enjoy it while you are young and healthy !!
Thank you!
Wow, This place is amazing, I've never been there before, but I saw your video and I think it's a beautiful place. 6:23 Wow, Your apartment is really nice because I can see the city from those windows and It's amazing to see the city from those windows. Well, I hope you have a wonderful time in this place and I hope you meet new people. You have a passion for travel and You're very smart. Keep up the good work, This video is amazing because I feel as if I were in this place. Greetings from Lima, Peru. 🇵🇪🦙🙂👏👏👏👍
Thank you very much!
Enjoy to Thailand ❤🇹🇭🤟🏻
Thanks for sharing a bit of your life with us as well as your thoughts for the future. As a mid 60s Canadian, I've often wondered what I would do if I were younger and didn't have anything tying me down in Canada, particularly if I had a job like yours where it didn't matter where I lived. Given today's world, I'm pretty sure I'd do the same thing you are contemplating. Follow your dreams. You can always move back to Canada if and when the time comes. Even if you didn't do You Tube 100% of the time, I'd bet you'd be surprised at the opportunities that are out there for a person with your skills. The only thing I would say is that places like Thailand won't always be as cheap as they are now. Retired (and Working for you) did a recent video showing how much rents have increased since the pandemic, and Bangkok's popularity doesn't seem to be slowing down. As a big fan/subscriber, I wish you nothing but the best in whatever you decide.
Thank you very much! Yes, there is certainly so many opportunities worldwide that people don't really know about unless they make the move to travel and see what's out there.
Hi Alina 👋 that apartment area is really neat wow ! If I could stay in a place forever it would be where your staying right now ! Seems petty much stress free . Witch is very rare especially these days . Where ever you decide to move alina I'm sure you'll definitely love ❤️ it for a smart person I'm sure you'll make the right decision. Sending my love ❤ to u alina I love ❤️ you my friend always jamie 😊
Thank you very much!
A really lovely apartment for the price and location
That place is amazing. Do you think get back sometime?
Hi Alina
Great video you picked a beautiful apartment. If you are thinking moving from Canada to either SE Asia or Eastern Europe spend sometime in the less favouable times of the year to get a feel for it. I have never been to Eastern Europe but expect it probably can get very cold and SE Asia can get very hot and humid as well as a lot of rain.
Cheers
Yeah that's one of my biggests cons about potentially living in SEA is the monsoon/extremely hot season. Somewhere in Eastern Europe is my front runner because that's where I'm originally from, used to the culture and they have the 4 seasons (and not as intensely as Canada!).
Alina, your Rhythm in Thonglor looks a lot like our Rhythm in Ekkamai, except that our pool is on the 36th floor and our bldg is older. I think they have the same furniture package in both buildings. YES you should consider making Bangkok your home base and do a 12-month lease where you’ll be able to get an equivalent place for about 20,000 or go for a larger unit for 25,000. And if you just get a BIT off the beaten track, the price goes down and the quality goes up. For instance, last year we were at Phra Khanong, fabulous building 5 min. walk to the BTS and with a beer garden/night market at our doorstep and a traditional market in the sois and subsois leading to the canal. I’m told there are some wonderful deals right now in condos around Udom Suk and Punnawithi.
By the way, Thonglor sounds like “TONG-law.” There’s no “th” sound in Thai, and that final “r” is only there to help Brits say the “o” properly. These r’s in Thai romanizations confuse North American rhotic speakers.
Very true, some beautiful buildings for less off of the main drag.
Very nice ❤❤❤
Bangkok is one of the happiest n coolest city of this world..
Thanks
This is indeed a good apartment for that price.the location is absolutely in the centre, thailand is definitely a good choice compare to canada considering its proximity to so many places of travel interest and the ease to stay and move around
Ohmymymy 💜 superbe appartement And yes "just see u later" in beautiful Bangkok Universe 😅 take Care lady sweet Alina 😅🙏
Definitely Yes
Welcome to Sukhumvit 36-38. Happy to hear your comment that you like this area. View from your gym you can actually see my house. I hope that you have great time staying here. Any way here is your dad now , I missed seeing him on your vid 😊
He is chilling in Chiang Mai!
Great video. (writing from Barrie,On) wondering how do you get along in that building area with English ? Eg. Front desk, food delivery, in building store, etc.
thank you.
Thankfully Bangkok is overall very English friendly in the central parts of the city. If not, google translate works fine and a lot of the apps like Grab for delivery have automatic translation built in.
Live life, my friend.
Love the apartment! If you did call SE Asia home, there are some places that ou could explore that I don’t believe ou have been to yet, like Australia and New Zealand for example.
I have actually been to Aus and NZ but it was when I was 18 and didn't have a youtube channel! Would definitely go again in the future.
By accident, I found your youtube and watching one by one at the moment. I live in Perth, Australia. I am Japanese. I am glad that you love Japan. By the way, I am 30 years older than you are, but like yourself (I am not youtuber though) I can work from everywhere. So I travel about 10 times a year. I am old man but still active. Oh, I like your dad. Whatever you want to do, just do it Alina.
Thank you very much and good for you that you travel so much!
If you contact the owner of codomenium room and tell them that you want to sign rental contract at least a year, you can lower the monthly rental quite significantly. Moreover, if you sign the contract for 2 years, you can negotiate even more. Tonglor area is a good place to live in bangkok; however, the rent is higher than other locations. If you move further along the Sukhumvit road 5-8 BTS stations from Tonglor area, the rent will significantly lower. You can save more if you want to do so. Have a good time in Thailand.
Yes, of course. I stated that a long term lease would be at least 30% less than airbnb.
I like the idea of you becoming a full-time Citizen of the World! Ps would that apt be less money on a yearly lease?
Yes, it would likely be 30% cheaper.
Just spent a month on Soi 57 in Thong Lo, fantastic area but not the most inexpensive. Great places to eat at any budget (try the street food on the north side of Sukhumvit between Soi 55 & 57, open until 4 AM)
Regarding residency, I declared myself non-resident in the early 2000’s when I moved to South America. No real implications other than loosing OHIP and paying less taxes on any income earned in Canada. And if/when you return to Canada full time the you renew your residency and there’s a three month wait for OHIP to kick in.
You are always a Canadian citizen regardless, and that never changes 🇨🇦
Thai life isn’t so bad and you get more for your money so why not? Not jealous 😢Enjoy!! 😎
Im a Khmer Canadian who has never been back to Cambodia yet. For the same reason, I am considering a move there. I can still speak khmer fluently on top of French snd English.
The good thing about Bangkok is that you can jump on the plane every now and then and spend the weekend in places like Koh Samui, Chiang mai, Krabi, Phuket...the flights are cheap.
Very true!
