Very nice lighting, but a bit distracting having the television on in the background. Go Jet Lawrence!!! Good video but you over simplified many things. Things are a lot easier when you have almost 90k followers.
It’s just more to spark ideas in people’s minds, from the comments and interactions on livestreams it seems that many people think you can only be an English teacher or work for your home country company..
@@didiermo7523 I'd love to go to India it's on the top of my list but can't afford to go there soon, I've just made my plan and booked Thailand Philippines and Vietnam for 8 weeks January February
Hey Ads, Love this different type of video from you. If only I was 20 years younger (life's regrets am I right :P) Very informative. Obviously hard to initially get set up. Thanks mate.
I'm a British-Filipino from the UK with an IT & customer support background, & was advised many times to try a support role in the Philippines, but never really looked into it. I wonder if Thailand offers the same prospects having already been there a few times (going again this Oct). Right now, everything is transitioning to the cloud IT-wise, so I wonder how easy/hard it would be to get into that scene in Asia. However, as others have already pointed out, there's no guarantee that these work situations will benefit you financially in the long-term e.g. pension, changing laws & bills etc.
thanks so much for sharing this, some rly great ideas! I'm starting to look around~ (also curious of $2000 usd/mo might be enough for long term if not $1000? assuminf you were referring to usd 😊) Ty 🙏
$2000 is absolutely enough, you'd want a bit of a savings cushion though. You could do $1000 but unless you have substantial savings you probably will get wiped out by a big unexpected expense sooner or later.
Just closing out my first week in thailand by getting my car and bike license today! If anyone reading this can help me get something going that pans out I will cut you a handsome check for helping!!!!

500,000 dollars minimum, to give you a stress free life, 500k invested wisely should give a return of 8% or 40,000 US a year, deduct tax etc and you are left with 30,000 a year, 25,000 for living expenses every year and save 5000 for emergencies.
Working step by step to try to let my company work remotly from Thailand, security department now cleared it, now its just to convince the boss(es). I am trying to get alloved to work at least 1 month in the winter. as step one.

If you go there young making low income and side hustles what happens when you get older? No 401ks, investments, social security etc.. as you get older the side hustles might not an option
@panoskontos5359 well they won't have to worry about it either way if they just basically hustling to pay bills and not really thinking long term older age. 🤷 Not Keis specifically but there are a lot of young guys going to Thailand and their goal is live cheap but few probably really think about what happens when you get older and want to really settle down and not have to hustle etc
The whole point is to turn a side hustle into a full time business You're forgetting it's gonna be decades before retirement age, you're not gonna be stuck on side hustles for the next 30 years lol
@@JayDKB This is what I'm concerned about with these digital nomads .. How long would their time in Asia last before they'll have to go back to their country of origin because things went tits up financially ? Only other thing I see that would counter that is if these dudes really are hustlers, they'll find a way to hit the jackpot by some other means. Unfortunately, not all of us, myself included, are "hustlers" or entrepreneurial - a lot of us have just worked regular 9-5's for most of our lives.
Selling clothing in Thailand - especially modern stuff that has to do with Streetwear and styles like that seems to be a decent route if you know the correct buyers.
I'm surprised you left out the fact that some of those jobs are illegal for foreigners to do, like anything related to travel guide, advising, or consulting, I think you called it. For the jobs that are legal to do, you need a work permit. If you're here on a tourist visa doing RUclips videos or whatever else trying to be an influencer, that's illegal too. Thailand has some really strict laws on this area. Maybe if you cover this topic again you can mention it. Hey, get a law firm to sponsor the video! Many/most foreigners who work remotely online in Thailand do so illegally. All it takes is one pissed off ex-girlfriend or customer to turn you in and you can be charged and deported. I'm not sure about the status of the nomad visa, so that may be an option for some people.
Yeah, but those things are obtainable, I have a work permit etc, so it’s something you can get.. You can be a RUclipsr on a tourist visa, as you aren’t working for a Thai company, but if you are here long term, best to get the visa stuff sorted, it’s not that difficult here 😊
More like a grey area if anything. I think you'll struggle to find one person who has ever been charged / deported for doing some online type work in Thailand...
A very good video, i am just wondering as a person with 20+ years in software development and wanting to retire in Thailand, do you think there opportunities for me to either provide a service or even teaching?
I made that price because it’s not something I really want to do, but people are prepared to pay so it’s a win-win I can help people with questions, get visas or bank accounts etc, I have a lot of connections here 😊
New camera setup looks great, extra bonus pts for NBA jam playing in the background ;)
I came out here 18 months ago, started teaching english online for $8 an hour...now i have my own business and charge $40!
LOVE Stories like this, well done man!
Is it a teaching business you own? If so, how did you go about that?
Great Video Keis, good on ya mate, killing it. Thanks for all the info. There is good money in teaching others how to do your trade or skill!
Loving the new studio Keis! Super cool lighting
Love the background scene of your new studio room. Lookin' real good.👍
New studio setup sure looks good 👍

Thanks I'll probably buy your course, I'm going to Asia at Christmas, bought a new camera, gonna try doing some RUclips while I'm there.
Bro kinda weird to say this but you wanna tag along and start travel vlogging together. 2 guys random adventures india etc

Would be good just having day in the life vlogs. Seems like you and Sam just make videos on travel tips
Starting to repeat yourself!

@@PerfectSense77 Good to know Ty! 🙏 Sounds like $2000 usd/mo is good with maybe like a dece emergency fund savings~
$2k/month is a good start, that is roughly my budget here in BKK.

Nice video bro 🙏🙏
great video,
Even if you work remotely many employers don’t necessarily let you work outside your home country.
That is my problem. But I have heard of people running their connection from a friend's house in USA so the employer thinks your in USA.
@@southduck my employer provides the laptop, and internet access is blocked, so I don’t think I could use a VPN. Even if I could find a way round it, if they found out they would instantly sack me.
@JustinCardiff I believe it has something to do with the router you use. It communicates thru your home router and it appears you are in the states.
Awesome!
😊😊
I’m an Uber driver in the states how much should I save?
500,000 dollars minimum, to give you a stress free life, 500k invested wisely should give a return of 8% or 40,000 US a year, deduct tax etc and you are left with 30,000 a year, 25,000 for living expenses every year and save 5000 for emergencies.
I will earn money for another 5-10 years then move to Thailand 😊
Nice, that’s a solid plan too!
Thats my back up plan since I can retire in exactly 8 years and 6 months haha.
@justanotherinternetuser5000 ? whats going on

You’re room is such a vibe.
Thanks mate! The studio is coming together nicely 😊
People paying $150 for consulting on living in Thailand is absolutely wild.
Awesome channel mate, I've been following you since lockdown
Does Dan still have his channel as well? 😊
A very good video, i am just wondering as a person with 20+ years in software development and wanting to retire in Thailand, do you think there opportunities for me to either provide a service or even teaching?
Are you kidding? That is literally probably the best type of career one could have to do remote work.
Try and start trading in the stock/forex/options markets
Once my thai boy finishes school in the UK I'm planning online travel business
I do marketing in Bangkok def many opportunities

Bro, if buddy was making $150 an hour “consulting he wouldn’t need a RUclips channel 😂😅
I made that price because it’s not something I really want to do, but people are prepared to pay so it’s a win-win I can help people with questions, get visas or bank accounts etc, I have a lot of connections here 😊
