just sold all my stuff and moved to pattaya last mo, got a bar girl pregnant & married, buying a dream house and putting it in her name. what could go wrong???
For every Brit thats failed when moving to Thailand theres also one thats made it a success. Thailands great if your over 50 and qualify for a retirement visa have met a good woman outside the bar scene and you can control your need for beer . Get these in place and theres no better place to end my days .
@@johnshores6061 By far the vast majority of Expats married 20+, 30+ years are married to Ex BG’s and if they are happy so what. I watched a few YTer’s who feel the need to explain how they met. A couple of Brits I can think of are one who says he met his wife who is from an Isaan village on a flight to London and she already had a UK passport from an Ex but he doesn’t say how she met the Ex. Another says his wife also from an Isaan village who speaks very good English worked in a Bank in Bangkok. Both of these wive’s also have a sister who are business women in Germany and have built very nice houses next to the family in the village. What they never say though is how they got to Germany and I can only think they have a German partner who Sponsored them and guess how they met the partner sponsors. The comments in the How We Met Vid always say how good it is they not with a BG but a lot of other comments have been deleted. I don’t care if they are Ex BG’s or not but I don’t like liars or those who pretend things are what they are not and as for those who swallow these stories they shouldn’t be allowed to go anywhere without an adult accompanying them.
Been here 24 yrs arrived when 33 .. each to their own choice some will prosper some will fail. Negatives yes medical insurance is an expensive necessity but massively out weighed by the positives.
If this guy ever came back to England he would probably be screaming about the illegals that are here.I visited Thailand many many many times. Did one border run just to extend by a few weeks. I loved it there, in Chaiyaphum it was fantastic , lovely friendly people, had a fantastic woman , who looked after me and never had a sick cow. Those who know Thailand will understand. Ill health meant I could not go back and I miss my woman and my friends (Thais) immensely. Kop khhn kap Thailand.
Yeah Absolutely, agree with you there, But ! It is that But , ( Not this BUTT) that you Know it’s fictional, you are in Dreamland, (for a price) this treatment has a BBF date , (she’s a woman like any other 😂)
Depends what sort of life you want … when I go to Thailand I volunteer at an elephant sanctuary, feed the monks and pick fruit for free . If your someone that goes to Pattaya or hang out in bars you will get ill or run out of money . Rent your home in Uk and rent in Thailand live like a king for £800 a month 😊
Sorry don't agree. Thailand is much better place than England. As long as you don't go crazy spending money or becoming an alcoholic.if you prefer to be in uk go for it.
In rainy season it is so humid you can’t breath and sweat pours down you and there’s a high risk of dengue fever and malaria and terrible mosquito bites . There are benefits in Thailand but there are also bad points
How long have you lived there? In general as tourists living less than five years have not experienced the hardships. After 5 years less than 10% success stories..
@@RobinredchestYou are talking nonsense, if you are in Pattaya there is very little chance of you getting any of those things, I have been traveling to Thailand for the past 34 years and have never come close to getting any of those problems. You are overstating those things.
@@nelco69 Maybe so , you are obviously one of the success story but there are many 40 to 50 yr old men who go on one holiday to Pattaya or Phuket and then sell all the possessions and think that life will be easy in Thailand. Maybe for the first year but then reality wil bite
A lot of people won’t listen to your warning, but they should. The issues you raise are valid and need full consideration. Especially money and I doubt if many people in their forties and early fifties have enough cash and assets to sell to fund themselves for the next 30-40 years. I think you really need a very good occupational pension. That means at least 60 years old. And for most people, also a place to return to in the UK if you can’t get or afford health insurance and fall seriously ill (which eventually we all do). Or cash and assets that you can draw on to pay Thai hospital bills.
Men especially go to Thailand on holidays initially and sample the fruits of Pattaya and patong and that image never leaves their thoughts , others retain the memory of the islands and the Thai culture . Life in England , Scotland , Ireland has become unbearable for most people and to the point of breakdowns , depression and even suicide and in men especially, so Thailand becomes a last resort of happiness
Its all down to planning and having a plan B if it does not work out and not cutting bridges to go back. I would say you can't cut ties to the UK as you have your money or pension or family there so you need to maintain an address there. Also very unlikely you will ever be Thai or permanent residence in Thailand so need to be resident somewhere like the UK.
If you have problems to solve….don’t come to solve them….and yes if you’re skint and not retirement age you’ll have a hard time getting on…but selling everything and retiring on a pension etc is perfectly fine in many a country if you’re tired of the BS in your home country…
😂😂😂hey Robin ,you Look like you Need a Holiday, You are Right in my view, but it’s not Mine or Your Decision, So Stick to what You would like to Do , to make a Difference in Your Life!😊
I do need a long holiday but I also need to work and save my money so I will be free to travel throughout Thailand and beyond for two years without selling my house in the U.K. ❤
england is a shit hole mate i been here 8 years now we all go to cambodea and the nam for 6 mths and thai for the rest best time of my life mate you are a bit of doom and gloom there is a big group of us here that all do the same thing we have never ever looked back you dont look to happy mate are you ok? it stuff is getting you down get out more and do things best of luck to you
@@soiraider2201The guy has a point as they can change the requirements anytime they want and/or stop issuing visas and extensions. We are only Expats here as Expats are people who stay in a foreign Country on temporary status regardless how many times that is renewed or extended. Immigrants are those who obtain permanent residence. I can only think of some 3rd world Countries that give retirement visas to Expats with modest income and Thailand is no longer a 3rd world Country. So I think sooner or later they will cancel the retirement visas. The Pattaya Mail did an article a week or so ago saying in the last 20 odd years the number of us on retirement and marriage visas has roughly halved so hopefully if they did cancel the retirement visa they would grandfather those of us on them and let us continue and just die out if not those of us who are married could change to marriage visas.

Good advice to check out the right Visa options before deciding to leave, I moved to Thailand 🇹🇭 34 years ago...
You are right. For over 90%. Only less than 10% success rates after a five years over living there. Visas betrayal lack of benefits and or income.
Depends what sort of life you want … when I go to Thailand I volunteer at an elephant sanctuary, feed the monks and pick fruit for free . If your someone that goes to Pattaya or hang out in bars you will get ill or run out of money . Rent your home in Uk and rent in Thailand live like a king for £800 a month 😊

Disagree Wales is being invaded by illegal immigrants and there are no go areas due to a certain religion?
Politicians sold us out and time to leave

@@Robinredchest Quality reply - shut me up, and made me laugh.
its very difficult in Thailand getting a health insurance company you can trust also with these next tax laws it will just drive ex pats away
What is a “boulder run?”
Most likely, visa run.
A boulder run is when you run for your life lol

I just want a cheapish gaff very near the Ocean, wherever that maybe?
If they go there just to have fun, then yes, it'll get boring quickly. If they work at least part-time, then it aint so bad

You can not "move" to Thailand. You can only ever be a visitor. Simple as that.
Your talking rubbish man. The Thai retirement visa has been up and successfully running for years!
