I have been retired here in Hua Hin since last August. I rented a villa for 6 months before buy my own villa. I live on my Social Security of just over 2800USD a month so, I don't pay rent. My monthly expenses of electricity, water, food, Internet run about 1200 a month. I could never do this in the states. I love it here.
@TKDJK Not everyone gets this much. Social Security is based on 35 years of earnings. Then, the average top ten years of those earnings. But it has a cost. They would deduct from my pay about 6.2 percent for this benefit.
@@roberthaas2857 Thank you Robert, Just wanted our Group to know the UK State Pension after 45 years of my contributions is US Dollars 14,000 about 1/2 of Robert. I am an actuary 🤣
@@roberthaas2857 I have never met anyone who gets the top amount. It's based on earnings but the last ten years of top top earnings is how you get there to that much. So you must have been doing great in America. Today you are relaxing as you should. Be well.
Hi Jonny, I'm 70 in good health & semi retired living in Canada. I've been a devoted subscriber to your channel for a few years now and your really making me think about Hua Hin Thailand as a home to hang my hat. This video in particular got me thinking even more, I also watched your friends Tracey & Rays channel, they have only good things to say about their move to Thailand. I believe I'll treat myself to a 3-4 week holiday there and have a walk about to get a feel for the place, and maybe hook up with you for a quick beer and chat. Thanks for getting me hooked 🤗
@@farangutan6773Here i am freaking out over father time at 38 rofl. .Doing the math in my head knowing how fast the last 2 decades past 😮😮 Father time is truly undeafted
Ray and Tracey seem very happy there in Hua Hin. I’ll bet that Forbes article will bring many visitors to Hua Hin this upcoming high Season. So many people are looking for better value and better lifestyles with their hard earned money. I’m a Golfer so I will def be checking it out. I’ve been watching Jonny since his very first Video and still enjoy the Channel as much as ever !
Are you an IG supporter Bradley? Many thanks for the support. Yes they are very happy and it’s great to see. I’m sure you love the golf courses here in the city and hopefully we get to see you here soon. Many thanks again for watching.
Hello Johnny! Just arrived in Hua Hin. This is my second trip back to Thailand, and on a retirement R&D Visit. I have visited a number of Cities, but Hua Hin in a short time is my favorite city. I will be in Hua Hin for a couple days. If there is an opportunity where you are out and can meet you, buy you a beer, and ask a few condo questions , I would greatly appreciate it.
Brilliant Video Jonny!! This is a good example of why you are the Number One RUclipsr in Thailand! You covered EVERYTHING! We live here full time so we can honestly say…Jonny covered it ALL in this one. Thank You for interviewing us for this Excellent video and for being a great friend 🙏🏼♥️ See you soon 💫🌟✨🤗
Thank you guys it is lovely to meet you both finally, I hope you’ve picked up some subscribers from this video and will definitely have that dinner very soon. Maybe next week if you guys are free. Hope you’re both well and have a great weekend. ❤️🙏
@@jonnyasia Likewise Jonny!! So happy to have finally met you and absolutely honored to be in this Amazing video you made 🌟❣️ Dinner next week for sure! Just name the day/location and time and we’ll be there ♥️ Oh and subscribers are off the charts and everyday we wake up with more and more thanks to YOU 🙏🏼💫🤗 We could Never have done this without your support 🥹🥰 See you Very soon!!!! xxoo
I have been living in Thailand for 6 years now and have previously worked here. I want to raise one issue regarding private hospitals, which I had to deal with when I worked here. If you go to a private hospital you have to take into account that if the disease or condition is too risky for the hospital to treat, they will not accept you and refer you to a government hospital. In case you end up there in an emergency, the hospital is obliged to stabilize your condition before they can transfer you to a government hospital. The reason for this is that they are commercial enterprises and thus have to optimize their income. So it is good if you living here (or are a tourist) to be aware of this and inform yourself of the possibilities (e.g. extensive heart surgery, trauma surgery, etc).
This is excatly why so many older Aussie guys head to Thailand, the cost of living in Australia is horrendous combined with the rental crisis many don't have a choice.
Got here in Hua Hin Sunday from Krabi Oct. 29. The drive was just under 8hrs in our rental car. Hubby and I absolutely love it here. We have an appointment tomorrow with a realtor to look at a villa located uphill. We looked at an apartment in downtown Hua Hin today called Marvest. It's a new 3 year old complex but a bit pricey. We're leaving on 2nd November, but look forward to come back to Hua Hin in a couple of years. We plan to selling our house but the US economy isn't that great right now - hopefully it'll turn around.
Awesome video Jonny,I have been many times to Hua Hin,the first time was with my daughter when she was about 16 years (she’s 41 now) and ever since that time,I just love Hua Hin,so now me and my Thai wife are building a little villa in a place called Nice Breeze 9,it’s about 15 minutes outside Hua Hin closer to the mountains,and late 2024 we will move over there,I just wish that the Swedes money was worth more,but we will see,so maybe one day we “bump” in to you Jonny,cheers from us here in Sweden.
I haven't watched one of your videos for awhile, and I was talking to my girlfriend about how nice Hua Hin is as we plan to visit Thailand early next year, so that made me decide to hop on and come to your channel to see what's been up lately, very nice video, its literally perfect for the type of info I want to show her about Hua Hin.
Love this vid mate and loved Ray and Tracey you interviewed! Also love the fact they are living their dream for $US2000 per months and hats off to Tracey for getting braces in retirement! You are def making me think now mate! Would have love to know what pension they are on p.a !!
Ray worked with UPS for many years so his pension actually comes from that. I’m sure if you’re start watching the videos they might disclose more in the coming months. Many thanks for watching.
Just subscribed big issues for me is getting the right Visa to live in Thailand I'm liking Hua Hin more from watching videos like yours thank you I'm also from the U.S now retired in Miami
We bought land in Cha Am, we find Hua Hin too busy with too many farang. We have friends in Hua Hin that we visit & we go to the night market, market village & Blue port, so yes we do like it & I do recommend it to friends who are travelling to Thailand for the first time, but will retire to Cha Am.
Yep, Hua Hin is overrated. I don't go to malls so there is nothing of interest for me there, instead I live in Cha-am too where I pay less than half the prices for closer to the beach and none of the nonsense
Looking forward to buying Several rounds for you my good friend to be! Can’t tell you how much I love your channel. Fabulous everything that you do is wonderful. Keep it up, mate.
I like how you buzzed around quickly to show all the places. Black Mountain Golf is probably the best course in Thailand. I love how most courses you can play without a membership and at a very low cost compared to others of same quality around the world. I’m just a frequent tourist to this lovely country.
Yes Black Mountains an amazing looking golf course. I like eating at the clubhouse sometimes but I’m not much of a golfer. Maybe that will change in a few years. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
In my opinion it isn't cheap any more, especially in high season. About 4300 Baht greenfee + Caddyfee 350 +tip for the caddy (400) +Cart 700 + taxi + expences for drinks and eating. You can't manage it with the money mentioned in the video. Moreover sometimes the course is very overcrowded (they have about 400 caddys) by big groups may be Koreans and others. The course is fine, but not for playing regularly.....
Hi Sean, hopefully all is going well on the Gold Coast. The cost of living I’m sure would be cheaper than the Gold Coast. I hope it’s giving you a hand to make your decision. Many thanks for watching.
@jonnyasia bloody awesome to get a reply Jonny. The GC is getting a touch expensive. My place is near the Coombabah reserve, near the small airport. You'll know it, I remember the cable sking. Financially and in other areas, Thailand makes a lot of sense. When the time comes, I'll definitely be taking the advice of 3months or so to see how I handle it. Thanks again Jonny
Another Great informative video ....Saw the article in Forbes earlier today ...... Went to Hua Hin last year to check it out based on watching your video & it ticks a lot of boxes. Will definitely be retiring in Thailand over the next couple of years .... Just wish the AU V's THB was a bit better ....even with that Thailand is exceptional value. Dale (Perth Western Australia)
Aud- thai baht is slowly getting better just one of those things that you can’t control unfortunately. Glad to hear you enjoyed Hua Hin hope to see you back here soon. Thanks for watching. Have a good weekend.
I spent New Year’s Eve 2018 at the village market drinking out the front with a beer tower a very cheap yet great night and many memorable moments with my wife and kids.
Jonny I see you are doing the consultations for Thailand. I think another great idea as a product for you would be to create a digital product on a big guide for Hua Hin, and almost like a road map for people moving here with info of all the areas and restaurants etc. I think since you are already basically the ambassador of Hua Hin this would do really well.
I'm very happy Hua Hin has got all this recognition - internationally. More good deals might be found in Jomtien where I would prefer to be ! 🤗 Just a simple relaxed frugal retirement -- a few miles in from the beach where it's cheap - but has a lot of food choices nearby. Close enough to Pattaya -- but w/o all the noise and commotion all the time ? > For me an easier trip to Bangkok - their airport - and occasional trips to Siem Reap or anywhere in S E Asia.
Been here for two months after five years on the Thai islands. If I’d have known the place was this good I wouldn’t have bothered with those islands. Great video. Very realistic. 😎👍
Thank you for your very informative video. While we are ready to make the move from the US, the cost of health insurance for seniors (over 65) seems very prohibitive. We cannot afford to pay 1200 per month or more for insurance. I would like to hear from you and others on how they manage their health insurance. I am so disappointed that we may not be able to live in Thailand.
Johnny I'm so glad you did this video this city. I've watched your other videos. It references place and it is top place on my list to come visit. I may be visiting within the next short.of time so hopefully I will see you there.😊😊😊😊
I vacationed at Hua Hin this April. I started out in Bkk. I said enough of this big city. I wanted to go to beach town. I took the train to Hua Hin and fell for that beach town vibe. I am from Orange county, Ca so I like the beach vibe. If you golf there are a lot of courses in area. I just really liked the people there. They are very accomodating for us farangs. They try hard to be hospitable no matter what. I really enjoyed the seafood at the pier.
Great content again Johnny, I’m transitioning to online work and will semi retire to Thailand in nxt 18 months, your videos are so helpful mate, cheers from airlie beach QLD
@@jonnyasia I’m only 42 and recently divorced, looking for somewhere quite that just has a few local spots and Hua Hin looks perfect mate, I cannot wait to check out all of the “Thai Rivera” as I’ve read that area is called mate
Thanks for the video. I really appreciate this one. I have been looking at videos for months trying to help me figure out make up my mind on where I want to move to. HauHin was the leader of the cities that I was looking at but after hearing from your sub’s and how safe and quiet it is there I think I might have made up my mind. Thanks a lot. Laison
That is a good video. A comment about prices: Western products (food and goods) are generally cheaper than Canada and only slightly cheaper than the US. For example, coffee is expensive in Thailand. But, Thai food, of course, is a bargain. Rent may, or may not, be cheap depending on your choices. Health care can be expensive for an older person (like me) but packages are available. Dental care is MUCH cheaper than Canada and the US. I live in Thailand for part of the year. With green fees, sailing and entertainment, I don't save a lot of money here; however, I choose to be here for the lifestyle. Of course, the various styles of massage (etc.) are a LOT cheaper in Thailand.
Massages are an important aspect of healthcare and very much underrated by medics, the movement of blood is critical in health and longevity. Keep those massages going!
Great video and great info. I live in Pattaya and it’s very affordable here also but lot more crazy busy. I am 65 and use bolt taxi to get around or the 10b bus. Big C is way better then Lotus yes lotus is more expensive. I am from the states and have all the sports that I like right in my home. The people are fantastic here also. Easy to get to Bangkok only 1 1/2 hours. Thanks again.
Yeah, I think big C actually cheaper. We have a big C here but it’s actually like a mini bigC so the variety of goods isn’t as good as compared to Tesco. 👍😊
Many thanks for watching. I appreciate it. Scuba diving isn’t really that big here. You probably find that bigger down south near Phuket, etc. thanks for subscribing.
Great video. I enjoyed this video so much that i like to see a part two of this location and more opinons and words of wisdom from other expats in that location. Thanks again. Keep up the great work. ❤😂🎉
thank youn Johnny, I missed connecting with back in June . I was there for two weeks and enjoyed the market village Mall and also the other one, which was right next door to my hotel!!
Thailand's romanization started more than 100 years ago during King Rama VI who was educated in English boarding school for several years when he was till a prince. The system was later standardized by Royal Society of Thailand and all official road signs/places adopt this system. Roman alphabets are not confined only to English/American languages. Almost all European languages adopt Roman alphabets as their main writing system except Greece and Russia. Some non-European countries also do likewise including Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Even though most non-European countries have their own native writing system, they still adopt romanization to help foreigners recognize and pronounce road/place names including Thailand, China (pinyin) and Japan (romaji). Westerners or those who learn English as a second language must accept the fact that those romanized words are not necessarily pronounced like English/American common pronunciation. It is easy to adapt once you know how the native pronounce it. In Thailand, "PH" is pronounced aspirated P (people) and the most well-known is "Phuket" while "P" is pronounced non-aspirated P (papa). "KH" is pronounced like "King" such as "Ramkhamhaeng" while "K" is pronounced like "Gong" such as "Krungthep". "TH" is pronounced aspirated T such as "Take" and the most well-known is "Thai" while T is pronounced non-aspirated T such as "one ton". "CH" is pronounced as "J" (jar) such as Chatuchak. It can also be pronounced as "CH" (chat) such as Chang beer.
There was an idiot Person at that time to start this spelling. Thailand why couldn't it be Tailand? Phuket , why nkt Puket - it is obvious right sound. Suphanbury , why not Supunbury. It is so simple...and correct sound & pronunciation Ramkhamheang - Ramkumheang.- This is how Local Thais say it.
Unfortunately, it was Phibun that changed the way Thai people thought and lived. He changed their lifestyle . What Thailand does NOT do , is teach the correct history.
@@User5467h-4etic I agreed, but in those day it has influenced from India writing style. The King elites used it and become the rule for the people. Until today, many of the old soft heads remain the same, still use it in official language.
@@User5467h-4etic Obviously, that "idiot person" YOU mentioned was way SMARTER THAN YOU AND ME AND MANY PEOPLE HERE. IT'S EASY TO BE IGNORANT, POINT A FINGER, CALL NAMES, AND MAKE YOURSELF LOOK COOL ON SOCIAL MEDIA. You'll have to learn the history of Thailand to fully understand all this. How the Thais write both in Thai and English are very much influenced by Indian culture - Indian writing style as Thai language came from BALI SANSKRIT as @jparsit said below. It makes perfect sense to me.
Awesome video Jonny we hope to move to Pran Burri beach area in about 12 months when insurance gets around to fixing our house and then we can sell it!, I have been telling lots of people how good it is in Hua Hin area my wife is Thai and from Bangkok and she wants to move back to Thailand, Im over 60 and being on a pension in Australia these days you barely get enough to survive!
Good luck with the insurance company fixing home I hope it wasn’t damaged too much. Pran Buri is an excellent location. I was actually there last week. Having lunch with friends. They’ve got some amazing café down there now. Good luck with your move.👍😊
Nice job Jonny. Back there briefly in December for holiday then April '24 full time Just organizing a place to live but that is not a sweat! That new station has come on some since I was there June - 2 hours to BKK will be magic for me once its rolling...
Thank you yeah the train station is really taken shape over the last couple of months they saying two hours of 2 1/2 hours. It be interesting once it’s up and going many. Thanks for watching. Have a good weekend.
New sub, thanks for loads of good info. I'm in the Philippines, been here many years, things overall have been ok but I feel I need another place at least for few months out of each year. HUA HIN definitely comes to mind. I will follow you in the future since Liked what I just saw.
Hey Johnny, I'm actually headed to Panama to check it out this November. Looking into possible retirement down there. Love the video! Keep them coming!
Cheers Craig many thanks also your order will be leaving early next week hopefully sorry for the hold up . My manufacture guy is waiting on a machine part to come from China 😢
We had lunch at that market village, really liked that shopping center, overall although only there for 3 nights we think Hua Hin would be great location for a long stay or retirement
Love the video Jonny, as always very informative….Johnny I noticed your wearing a LA Dodger cap , my Hometown team , let’s go Dodgers ❤ thanks for another great video .
I know very little about the LA Dodgers but I do know they play baseball. They are very comfortable hats. That’s why I like wearing them. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.👍😊
First time watcher. Great video, very informative. Will be in HH in March/April to check it out as possible retirement spot. Any chance you know what gym these guys go to, or one that you’d recommend?
can you please give me a timestamp. I honestly heard audio problems in editing. With a timestamp I can look at what microphone I was using. Many thanks
Excellent jonney very relevant content, information for those of us who are thinking of retirement and don't know where is the best location in thailand.
Great informative video. I did think that the Western food is not that cheap. When I was living in Issan last year I used to shop at Makro supermarkets to which I found prices very reasonable.

I subbed to them just now. Good video and interview. I don’t meet many Americans in Hua Hin, maybe it’s finally catching on.

Strongly considering living in Hua Hin when my Pattaya lease expires in a year. Been to Hua Hin around 4 X this year. Love the pace
It is a very good spot bit more calmer than pattaya, good luck with the move 👍😊
Can Hua Hin offer the same level, quality and quantity of adventures? (You know guys what I'm talking about)

@@jonnyasia It's shocking, people living in tents at local parks. Australia's far from being the Lucky country anymore.

I think another great idea as a product for you would be to create a digital product on a big guide for Hua Hin, and almost like a road map for people moving here with info of all the areas and restaurants etc. I think since you are already basically the ambassador of Hua Hin this would do really well.
Jonny. One of your best. Great work. Much appreciated.
I'm very happy Hua Hin has got all this recognition - internationally. More good deals might be found in Jomtien where I would prefer to be ! 🤗 Just a simple relaxed frugal retirement -- a few miles in from the beach where it's cheap - but has a lot of food choices nearby. Close enough to Pattaya -- but w/o all the noise and commotion all the time ? > For me an easier trip to Bangkok - their airport - and occasional trips to Siem Reap or anywhere in S E Asia.
Best ambassador for hua hin 💯 brilliant video
Been here for two months after five years on the Thai islands. If I’d have known the place was this good I wouldn’t have bothered with those islands. Great video. Very realistic. 😎👍
Great show and content Johnny! Next time I'm in Hua Hin I'll drop u a line! As alway's stay cool,kind and generous!
Thank you glad I could be helpful. Look forward to seeing you here soon. Have a great weekend.
Thank you for your very informative video. While we are ready to make the move from the US, the cost of health insurance for seniors (over 65) seems very prohibitive. We cannot afford to pay 1200 per month or more for insurance. I would like to hear from you and others on how they manage their health insurance. I am so disappointed that we may not be able to live in Thailand.
Johnny I'm so glad you did this video this city.
I've watched your other videos. It references place and it is top place on my list to come visit. I may be visiting within the next short.of time so hopefully I will see you there.😊😊😊😊
That’s great to hear. I look forward to seeing you soon. Have a great weekend.
I vacationed at Hua Hin this April. I started out in Bkk. I said enough of this big city. I wanted to go to beach town. I took the train to Hua Hin and fell for that beach town vibe. I am from Orange county, Ca so I like the beach vibe. If you golf there are a lot of courses in area. I just really liked the people there. They are very accomodating for us farangs. They try hard to be hospitable no matter what. I really enjoyed the seafood at the pier.
Hua-Hin is my favorite town since I was young. I'm glad they are happy to live peacfully in my favorite seaside town.
It is very nice town. Thanks for watching.
Hua Hin is for Thai elites weekend stay, Pataya is for young Thais.
Great video Jonny! Thailand definitely ticks all the boxes.All the best to you and your family mate.
I enjoyed watching you Johnny - I just connected to Third Thai's Charm I will watch it next. All Good I stayed at Centara Resort Hua Hin 4 years ago.
Probably your best video yet.
Well done.
Thank you Walter. It was lovely seeing you the other day at bluport 👍😊
Excellent cost breakdown for retiring in Hua Hin. Thank you so much!
Hi Jonny, excellent presentation, so looking forward to visiting Hua hin. Tim from Australia
Thanks Tim
Love the tour and the interview! 5 stars 👍
Thank you for watching 😊
Excellent video, Jonny! Full of very useful information, and a great interview. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! Many thanks for watching
I appreciate you for sharing your experience with people who are retired and living in Hua Hin Thailand.
Great , informative, interesting and well thought out video !
Thanks mate .
Thank you John I’m glad you enjoyed it
Great content again Johnny, I’m transitioning to online work and will semi retire to Thailand in nxt 18 months, your videos are so helpful mate, cheers from airlie beach QLD
Thank you I’m glad it was helpful. Good luck with your move here Arlie beach, is a lovely spot.👍😊
@@jonnyasia I’m only 42 and recently divorced, looking for somewhere quite that just has a few local spots and Hua Hin looks perfect mate, I cannot wait to check out all of the “Thai Rivera” as I’ve read that area is called mate
Thanks for the video. I really appreciate this one. I have been looking at videos for months trying to help me figure out make up my mind on where I want to move to. HauHin was the leader of the cities that I was looking at but after hearing from your sub’s and how safe and quiet it is there I think I might have made up my mind.
Thanks a lot.
Laison
Thank you much appreciated I’m actually editing part 2 now that should be up tomorrow night. Glad you enjoyed it 👍😊
Good interview, enjoyed it very much.
That is a good video. A comment about prices: Western products (food and goods) are generally cheaper than Canada and only slightly cheaper than the US. For example, coffee is expensive in Thailand. But, Thai food, of course, is a bargain. Rent may, or may not, be cheap depending on your choices. Health care can be expensive for an older person (like me) but packages are available. Dental care is MUCH cheaper than Canada and the US. I live in Thailand for part of the year. With green fees, sailing and entertainment, I don't save a lot of money here; however, I choose to be here for the lifestyle. Of course, the various styles of massage (etc.) are a LOT cheaper in Thailand.
Very detailed comment. Many thanks for watching.👍😊
Massages are an important aspect of healthcare and very much underrated by medics, the movement of blood is critical in health and longevity. Keep those massages going!
Been living in HH since 2006, best place in Thailand IMO
I wouldn’t say that, many better options
Thanks Johnny for such an inspiring informative video , Have a nice weekend , cheers 👌✌
Cheers Stephen glad I could be helpful hope you have a great weekend also👍😊
Incredible!!! I will book your consultation next week!👍👍👍
Awesome! You answered most of the questions in one video!
Thank you is there anything else you would have liked me to cover for future videos. Have a great weekend.
Great video jonny , interesting and entertaining and informative. Hope everyone is well
Thank glad it was helpful
Great video and great info. I live in Pattaya and it’s very affordable here also but lot more crazy busy. I am 65 and use bolt taxi to get around or the 10b bus. Big C is way better then Lotus yes lotus is more expensive. I am from the states and have all the sports that I like right in my home. The people are fantastic here also. Easy to get to Bangkok only 1 1/2 hours. Thanks again.
Yeah, I think big C actually cheaper. We have a big C here but it’s actually like a mini bigC so the variety of goods isn’t as good as compared to Tesco. 👍😊
Greetings from Texas, Great job mate. Keep up the good work. Take Care
Thanks, will do! Have a great weekend
Like everybody else has said, the quality is top notch and I’ve subscribed. How is the scuba diving?
Many thanks for watching. I appreciate it. Scuba diving isn’t really that big here. You probably find that bigger down south near Phuket, etc. thanks for subscribing.
Johny you keep doing what your doing the blogs are good and top quality mean that great stuff
Great video. I enjoyed this video so much that i like to see a part two of this location and more opinons and words of wisdom from other expats in that location. Thanks again. Keep up the great work. ❤😂🎉
Thank you so much for the golf courses info!! Changes everything!!
No problems my pleasure I might do more of a detailed video in the future on the golf courses available here
thank youn Johnny, I missed connecting with back in June . I was there for two weeks and enjoyed the market village Mall and also the other one, which was right next door to my hotel!!
Thailand's romanization started more than 100 years ago during King Rama VI who was educated in English boarding school for several years when he was till a prince. The system was later standardized by Royal Society of Thailand and all official road signs/places adopt this system. Roman alphabets are not confined only to English/American languages. Almost all European languages adopt Roman alphabets as their main writing system except Greece and Russia. Some non-European countries also do likewise including Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Even though most non-European countries have their own native writing system, they still adopt romanization to help foreigners recognize and pronounce road/place names including Thailand, China (pinyin) and Japan (romaji). Westerners or those who learn English as a second language must accept the fact that those romanized words are not necessarily pronounced like English/American common pronunciation. It is easy to adapt once you know how the native pronounce it. In Thailand, "PH" is pronounced aspirated P (people) and the most well-known is "Phuket" while "P" is pronounced non-aspirated P (papa). "KH" is pronounced like "King" such as "Ramkhamhaeng" while "K" is pronounced like "Gong" such as "Krungthep". "TH" is pronounced aspirated T such as "Take" and the most well-known is "Thai" while T is pronounced non-aspirated T such as "one ton". "CH" is pronounced as "J" (jar) such as Chatuchak. It can also be pronounced as "CH" (chat) such as Chang beer.
Thank you for the Thai lesson😛
There was an idiot Person at that time to start this spelling.
Thailand why couldn't it be Tailand?
Phuket , why nkt Puket - it is obvious right sound.
Suphanbury , why not Supunbury. It is so simple...and correct sound & pronunciation
Ramkhamheang - Ramkumheang.- This is how Local Thais say it.
Unfortunately, it was Phibun that changed the way Thai people thought and lived. He changed their lifestyle . What Thailand does NOT do , is teach the correct history.
@@User5467h-4etic I agreed, but in those day it has influenced from India writing style. The King elites used it and become the rule for the people. Until today, many of the old soft heads remain the same, still use it in official language.
@@User5467h-4etic Obviously, that "idiot person" YOU mentioned was way SMARTER THAN YOU AND ME AND MANY PEOPLE HERE. IT'S EASY TO BE IGNORANT, POINT A FINGER, CALL NAMES, AND MAKE YOURSELF LOOK COOL ON SOCIAL MEDIA. You'll have to learn the history of Thailand to fully understand all this. How the Thais write both in Thai and English are very much influenced by Indian culture - Indian writing style as Thai language came from BALI SANSKRIT as @jparsit said below. It makes perfect sense to me.
Awesome video Jonny we hope to move to Pran Burri beach area in about 12 months when insurance gets around to fixing our house and then we can sell it!, I have been telling lots of people how good it is in Hua Hin area my wife is Thai and from Bangkok and she wants to move back to Thailand, Im over 60 and being on a pension in Australia these days you barely get enough to survive!
Good luck with the insurance company fixing home I hope it wasn’t damaged too much. Pran Buri is an excellent location. I was actually there last week. Having lunch with friends. They’ve got some amazing café down there now. Good luck with your move.👍😊
Interesting. I’ve been going back to Thailand for the last 9 years. And coming to Hua Hin in August for 3 weeks.
Nice job Jonny.
Back there briefly in December for holiday then April '24 full time
Just organizing a place to live but that is not a sweat!
That new station has come on some since I was there June - 2 hours to BKK will be magic for me once its rolling...
Thank you yeah the train station is really taken shape over the last couple of months they saying two hours of 2 1/2 hours. It be interesting once it’s up and going many. Thanks for watching. Have a good weekend.
another outstanding video again dude!
Nice! I am retiring in Thailand at 39 in 3 months
That is too young!
Excellent news good luck with your move here. I hope it all goes well.

Thank you! Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it Robert 😊
New sub, thanks for loads of good info. I'm in the Philippines, been here many years, things overall have been ok but I feel I need another place at least for few months out of each year. HUA HIN definitely comes to mind. I will follow you in the future since Liked what I just saw.

Hey Johnny, I'm actually headed to Panama to check it out this November. Looking into possible retirement down there. Love the video! Keep them coming!
Yes, I’ve heard Panama has been quite popular with ex-pats relocating there recently. I hope you enjoy it and good luck with the move.👍😊
Awesome information! Great Video mate TY
Great video Jonny, heading there in late December for a look.
Hua Hin is the paradise city for all visitor !!!!
Thanks johney another good video.
Cheers Craig many thanks also your order will be leaving early next week hopefully sorry for the hold up . My manufacture guy is waiting on a machine part to come from China 😢
We had lunch at that market village, really liked that shopping center, overall although only there for 3 nights we think Hua Hin would be great location for a long stay or retirement
Just discovered your channel, love the way you showed everyday life.
Love the video Jonny, as always very informative….Johnny I noticed your wearing a LA Dodger cap , my Hometown team , let’s go Dodgers ❤ thanks for another great video .
I know very little about the LA Dodgers but I do know they play baseball. They are very comfortable hats. That’s why I like wearing them. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.👍😊

Very cool. I liked the happy people interview. They are well sorted ;-)
Nice video and lovely couple at the end
Thanks mark much appreciated, part 2 coming tonight 👍😊
First time watcher. Great video, very informative. Will be in HH in March/April to check it out as possible retirement spot. Any chance you know what gym these guys go to, or one that you’d recommend?
Thank you there are many gyms here, I might actually get a friend to help me with a video for that. Thanks for watching 🙏😊
@@jonnyasia thanks, and I watched some of their videos and found the gym! : )
I’m 58 years old, and retired, thanks for the tour.
Has Thailand discovered "disc golf" yet...the weather always looks great over there. Great video
I wondered where Annie Lennox had gone....
🤭
lol I always thought Tracy look like someone I knew 😂
Great video ,.. thanks for showing the golf course,.. Looks to be in great condition
Yeah, I think with with low season at the moment and the rain has been getting the course is looking great
Great video Johnny. Especially liked the interview with beta ray and his lovely wife
Thank you glad you enjoyed it 👍😊
Top video as usual Jonny 👍 One issue though, sound kept going up and down
can you please give me a timestamp. I honestly heard audio problems in editing. With a timestamp I can look at what microphone I was using. Many thanks
Jonny and Som y'all rock! Love the channel and content. Peace
Cheers Benny hope you’re well. Mate many thanks again for watching.
Great vlog as usual jonny
Many thanks for watching. Have a great weekend.😊
@@jonnyasia You too
Excellent jonney very relevant content, information for those of us who are thinking of retirement and don't know where is the best location in thailand.
Great video! Great information!
Thanks for watching much appreciated
Great informative video.
I did think that the Western food is not that cheap.
When I was living in Issan last year I used to shop at Makro supermarkets to which I found prices very reasonable.
You find that mostly import luxury food items like your cheeses etc. can get pretty pricey but for the rest it’s pretty good prices
❤livin in HuaHin , great for anyone any age ,
Very true can be any age :-) thanks for watching appreciate it
Very positive those guys. Good look to them.
Thank you
Thank you, Jonny, super useful info.
My pleasure!👍😊
Good stuff jonny
Keep it rollin
Nice thank you
Thank you Jonny. 🙏❤️👍🏾
