- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
- There are a number of things you will need in Thailand if you come to visit, or live here. One of the most overlooked is having the right mindset. In this video I will share what things you will need if you are traveling, or moving, to the country of Thailand. I'll discuss the mindset needed to live here as well as communication apps, transportation, taxi apps, hotels, VPN apps, medical insurance, dating apps, and much more. Make sure you watch this whole video so you know what kind of things you will need if you come to the country of Thailand.
I recently moved to Thailand and am beginning to roam the country while documenting my travels via my RUclips vlog channel. Join me for my assorted adventures in the many different regions of Thailand.

You are right with a “slower life”. One S Korean vlogger vlogged about his waiting for 3 hours for Jay Fai’s michelin star street food “crab omelette”. He said this experience helped him calm down a lot because in S Korea everything is “PALI PALI PALI-fast fast fast”. That kind of life is very stressful. Slower life in Thailand helps him destress.
Absolutely have to adjust to slower pace of things here. At the same time, as popular as that omelette is, I’m not waiting in line for three hours for any kind of food. Lol
Walking & exploring is good and yes for sure lots water needed ..
I know I don’t drink enough water, especially for as much as I tend to walk when I make these videos. 💦 🥤
Serg, I fully agree with learning the language, walking, BTS & MRT, Agoda, and most important lose the western mindset! Vacation in Thailand is so relaxing, no hustle, everyone polite and smiling...just what you want. Keep up the videos, I'll get back there someday!
I’m happy my points resonated with you Jeff. Such a lovely country!
Thank you very much for sharing the information you have given us, Serg, that's brilliant. 👍💯🙏
I hope many people find it useful when they decide to come to Thailand.
This was an excellent video and it answered a lot of my questions and concerns. Great job again!
Awesome, happy it was useful.
I love watching your videos and I definitely love all the fab parks you've been to! So cool!
Thank you so much!!
Thanks for the info! I'll be there in December for the 3rd time this year. I'm so excited!
Hope yon have a great time!
Hey Serggg, your knowledge and experiences are awesome! 😊
I’m happy to hear you appreciate it. I wanted to share what I have learned in the hopes that it might save some people some headaches and time.
Great info for everyone Serg!
I hope so too!
Great information Serg!
Awesome, happy you found it useful.
Thank you! Great information and advise
Happy you find it useful!
Superb insight about the information covering almost everything. Great content and classy to stand out with special Serg spice. Superlike!!!
Thanks Jagdish! This was definitely a little bit more of an Informational video, I almost felt like I talked too much. Lol
It was very well described. And not at all too much. People who have that attachment and connect with Bangkok will watch it again and again.
So many things in one clip.Great Serg
Glad you liked it.
Interesting and helpful Serg. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. One small point - it’s not necessary to keep saying “the country of Thailand.” Everyone knows it’s a country!
Yes I’m in, I know I said it one too many times. Also keep in mind, that sometimes we say certain things on purpose because it helps the RUclips algorithm.
Thanks for all the info!
Glad it helped!
If your are coming to Thailand and watch this, you are way ahead of the curve. I've been here 5 -years and I picked up some good tips, especailly the bus app!
The bus app is really cool! I literally just found it last week. In all honesty, I saw it in Bangkok Pat’s video. That guy is such a wealth of information.
Good advices and I agree with you Serg👍✌️
Thanks for your support.
Love this video! Jammed packed with some very useful information should I decide to hop over to Thailand for a while but even just on how to live life to the fullest and be wise about many things!👍😀
I sure talked non stop throughout this whole video. Lol. But yeah, hopefully it’ll be useful to some people considering coming to Thailand. Come visit me man. We can go hiking. Lol
Another great vid serg you covered everything you really need to know
Budget is the main one
So hard to keep to budget
Most people I know Don’t even know how much they spend on a month because they’ve never sat down to make a budget. This is important even if you’re just living in your home country. You need to know how much you spend on a monthly basis.
such a wealth of information..... Thanks for sharing Serg...
Always makes me happy that people find my information useful.
Great video, very informative. Love the shirt!!
Yah I need to reach out to them! Lol
Very helpful,good job Serg
Thanks, glad you found it useful.
very useful info , thank you
You’re welcome!
You were jamming, well done Serg!
Yeah, I know I talked pretty much throughout this whole video. Just wanted to make something a little more of the informational side. 😁
Definitely i fallowing your video , very informativo and motivation
That’s great to hear, thank you for your support.
Nice to know all this information.now is time to go to Thailand Serg.👍👍💯💯🥳🥳😃
It’s definitely a good time!
I'm Thai, so thank you so much for your explaining that they are so true.
I hope many people find this video useful.
good informative video, serg.
I’m glad it was so useful.
Just subscribed. Welcome to Thailand. I am sure you will be happy here. I live in Lynnwood. LA. CA. About 40yrs.ago.That was a prime time of my life but as I am getting older I need a place to retire and get some peace of mind. Now I am in Chieng Mai too.. Very happy life is really slower as I needed. Well good day my friend you are in the right place.
Oh wow. You do not wan to live in LA now. Lol. Chiang Mai sounds amazing. Will go soon.
Thank you for the great video Serge. The bus App is a great tip as I could never fully understand the Bangkok bus system. Many times I was staying in areas where taking a bus would make a lot of sense and it was always difficult to figure out the right numbers and routes, many time it was trial and error... Let's see how it goes the next time with the App! 🙏
To be quite honest, I just discovered this app about a week ago. But yes it is confusing because we don’t read the language. The app makes it so much easier because you could put in a destination and it will tell you exactly which buses you need to take
Fantastic video. We vlog our travels around Australia but are so keen to get back to Thailand asap. Wish I had found your channel before we came last time. Will definitely download the apps you have mentioned. Also we have decided to book alot of things ourselves next time instead og using a travel agent so good to know the websites you had booked through for accommodation
Yah you can definitely do it all yourself. Also don’t forget to just wander around and get lost a little bit. I find the best things that way.
@@LifewithSerg perfect. We have decided on Oct next year. This will give me enough time to save and plan. Now I am excited, we are coming back yay
Sir, excellent video. Balanced and informative. I'm a BKK resident and concur with every one of your insights. Well done! Thanks, RPS
I’m glad you enjoyed this video. I’ve got another one coming out shortly that you might find interesting and fun as well.
Spot on Serg! Good video. In the case of transport, i used Grab , was so easy to use and so cheap. Highly recommended 🙏🙏😎
Yeah, I tend to use grab when I want a taxi. It has been better than Bolt for me.
Such a very smart advice ... we need " MINDSET" , thanks.
I think the right mindset is the most important part to any aspect of life. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Great vdo to basically know before coming here. Keep on uploading more vdos
I’m working on it Gavin! 😁 The rainy season is presenting some challenges, but also some opportunities. ⛈🌧☔️
Great video Serg, keep them coming 👍
Thanks Paul!
Love your video, love your attitude, and love your idia
I’m very happy to know that you enjoy my videos. More coming soon!
Hi Serg a great Video with important explanatory notes for Thailand.
I can really confirm that’s Thailand is a great beautiful county. Sure, the People are happy and thankful if a Farang can talk some Words in Thai.
I love Thailand nevertheless I know everything isn’t a Paradise, but everybody is able to create is own little Paradise for himself.
Yeah Self-control is very important in Thailand. But everywhere in the world isn’t nice to see People out of control.
Thanks a lot Serg.
Have a nice evening.
Yes, there’s lots of factors to consider. I just wanted to mention some things that a lot of people don’t think about.
@@LifewithSerg Yeah Serg I know.
I know from my wife so it’s easy to understand for me.
If I don’t know about peoples character in a foreign country it’s good to be only kindly, reserved and better be quiet and not talk loud Bullshit.
Excellent Mindest list. and good info.
You are right everyone is so different and everyone's budget is different.
Yeah lots of things go into a budget. Can’t answer it for everyone.
Good content n cleary describe, as usual. Thai fc.
Thanks Kenji! I appreciate you.
One of my favorite videos from you Serg!
Now we need an in depth video on how to practice self control at Billboards in Nana 😂😂😂
Lolll. I don’t think that’s possible. Ha
So well said. Your tips would be useful in any country. Taking notes! And will start working on the walking🤣
I think the right mindset is more important than anything else when traveling to a new place. Glad you found the info useful!
The mindset is a big part of it. We had a guy in my company who was a new expat. He wrote a letter to the city of Bangkok about the state of the sidewalk on Suk. Soi 1. Was upset he didn't hear back. Yeah he didn't last.
LMFAO. that’s hilarious that he actually wrote them a letter.
Good video. Very informative..👍
I’m hoping some foreigners will see it and it will help them in their decision when coming here.
Really great tips 👍
Thanks Sheila!
Finally...a monitor....also when my wife and I were in Bangkok we picked up those cheap thin 30-40 baht rain ponchos at where else...7-11,
I love that store or the other 10,000 in the city. when we come back, will have to revisit this video to download the apps.Again Serg...anlother 5 star video, you are the (Thailand vlogger) man..............Matt from scottsdale
Lumpini park always has a ton of monitor lizards in there. I saw at least five or six of them.
Yes, those ponchos from 7-Eleven are great. 7-Eleven here is just amazing. I go to one almost every single day and they are everywhere. The price is a really good, and they are just, of course, extremely convenient.
Thanks for the vote of confidence Matt!
2 big thumbs up. One additional messaging app would be WhatsApp. It's also used pretty extensively in Bangkok at least.
You are right. There was no way I was going to cover every single thing, I just went over the points on my list. Thanks for reminding me.
Great Information. I've spent plenty of time wondering about the bus system.
It all honesty, I just discovered that app about a week and a half ago. It is super useful!
@@LifewithSerg Just had a play in Sydney Austraila. It's a cool app. Much better than trying to work it out yourself which not impossible but difficult and complicated depending on where you want to go.
I didn’t realize it would work in other countries. I thought it was an app just here in Thailand. That’s really good to know!
@@LifewithSerg Just a Thailand app but it just uses Google Maps so I just zoomed in on Bangkok and had a play. Really cool.
Ahhhh. Gotcha.
It's a very good suggestion.
Glad you liked it.
Good VDO. Serg.
Thank you Suebsak.
ข้อมูลแน่นและแอฟรถเมล์ชอบนะ ผมใช่บ่อย สวัสดีนะอยู่นานๆๆ ยินดีตอนรับเสมอ
Glad you found it useful. The bus app is definitely quite useful.
Great content
Thank you, I hope people find this information useful.
Thank you for being open-minded with our crazy culture. But there are a few things I slightly disagree and hope you don’t mind 😺. Actually, majority of Bangkokian lives are kind of in rush, and rarely be in a slow pace. If you’re on BTS and MRT Siloam/Sukhumvit lines during rush hour, the situation is almost similar to Tokyo. I lived in Sweden for a year and I believe that it’s more calmer than here haha.
.
By the way, easier way for using MRT is you can tap your credit card at the gate. There’s no need for MRT pass anymore these days. 😊
.
And one more convenient method to pay compared to using Rabbit Card if you stay here for a long term is your online banking, you can scan QR code to pay or transfer money to any shops, even a vendor on the street. Wish you all the best for your stay!
Glad you like it. Yes I know those things I have a Thai bank account.
Keep going 🎆🇹🇭สู้ๆ
Thanks!!
Enjoyed the information ..
Great, I hope other people find it useful as well.
@@LifewithSerg I’m visiting September so I’d hope my friend has some of this covered. But for sure , if I moved there I’d really take on board a lot of this especially the apps ..
ยินดีต้อนรับสำหรับคนไทยน่ะค่ะประเทศไทยน่าอยู่ค่ะ สถานที่ท่องเที่ยวมากมาย คนไทยใจดีค่ะ อาหารอร่อย วัฒนธรรมของประเทศไทยไม่แพ้ประเทศอื่นเลยในโลกนี้ ดีมากเลยค่ะ
I really enjoyed the culture, the people and the food here. That is why I moved to Thailand.
Thanks very much welcome Thailand
Hi, Serg I enjoyed your informative video. I use Agoda and grab because once book you know how much your jouney will be. Once I have a place I want to settle down I normally get to know a driver or two I take their phone numbers and get a personal experience and normally cheaper than the app but if I need something right now the aps are the way froward. Take care GOD Bless you and yours. M
Yes, that’s a great way to do it! Agoda is great.
Great video Serg! For the Grab app, is that cash based as well?
That is one thing I forgot to mention. Grab requires a credit card. That’s another reason why I like it. I don’t have to worry about handing over cash as everything is just charged to my card.
Thanks!
Most welcome!
Heading over for the first time in September (from Australia). So keen after two years of no travel.
I think you’re going to love it. Almost everything is now open.
Just discovered your channel and subscribed. Gonna visit Thailand for the first time in my life and in fact Asia for the first time. I usually go to North or South America. Arriving in Bangkok and staying in Thailand for some 30 days. Not sure where to go yet so I'll be watching more of your channel and get prepared.
I hope you have a wonderful time here. There’s so many things to do and see. It’s good that you’re doing research so you can figure out things that you want to go and enjoy.
@@LifewithSerg 'Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance' but I do see a lot about the nightlife on other pages and channels but at night I sleep.
For sure your channel is helpful since I arrive in Bangkok and also want to see the city, but so far it's hard to find info about the street food or backpacking and going into nature. I don't need a hotel all the time (or ever) but just a simple motel, a hostel or campsite where I can hang my hammock. That info is hard to find.
I've not been in a hotel for many years and always stayed with locals to also see how they live. To learn what their struggles are. Maybe there is a site or page I just did not find yet. Maybe a new twist to your channel?
There are tons of hostels here. My friend Rob over at @projectbangkok Just did a video about one that only cost $2.50 per night. Also you don’t really need info about street food. Just go out on the street, and you’ll see it everywhere. There are no “motels” here. However, there’s plenty of cheap hotels.
The videos I make on this channel about things that I enjoy. If it’s not something I’m personally interested in, I won’t make a video because I won’t be able to be enthusiastic about it. Hostels and camping are just not my thing, so I will not be making videos about those subjects. I would suggest you use Google (or whatever search engine you prefer) as you will find the answers you’re looking for. Trust me, the information you are looking for is out there. You’ll definitely find what you’re looking for here, I have no doubts. There’s plenty of camping available throughout most of Thailand, it’s just not an area I’ve researched.
@@LifewithSerg Thx for your extensive answer and found your friend's channel. ;)
I subscribed of course and will check it out soon. It's not that I'm cheap and have no money to spend but I just prefer the backpackers lifestyle and I have a lot more traveling to do. I'm also expected in Argentina end of the year.
Argentina, Colombia, etc. are for me also more business related since I'm a survival instructor and setting up courses with survival schools there.
Anyway I digress. I just found this offer for a return ticket to Bangkok that seemed to good (cheap) to be true. Usually they also are not true but this one on the suggested dates was actually true so spontaneously booked this extra trip.
Of course you should not make videos about things you're not interested in. That would show. But judging by the tips you gave in the video I was convinced that you know what you're talking about so I took the liberty to ask these questions.
I sure will take my time also to explore Bangkok but will also seek for Thai survival schools that might be interested in some sort of collaboration between our schools. I run a Dutch survival school but lately specialize in courses on different continents. Professional deformation perhaps but I love my profession and nature.
So thx again for the extended answer. I will sure check out all your videos and your friends videos also so I come well prepared.
I think it’s great that you are doing this for a business angle as well. There’s definitely lots of Thai people here who love to go camping and I have seen riverside camps on some of my trips. I just don’t know enough about them to be able to give you the proper information. I hope you have a wonderful trip!
Great advice Serg. Thai people appreciate foreigners who don't make a scene when things don't go their way. Mai bpen rai or No problem is good attitude to have. Pedestrians have to be ultra aware of where they walk too with some footpaths being a bit dodgy. Asoke is a good area to stay for first time visitors with both an MRT and BTS and Terminal 21 Shopping Mall.
All very true Scott. I’ve learned to relax more here. Took some time. Lol. First month was definitely a little aggravating. Ha ha
@@LifewithSerg Being Australian post 50's in age, it is far more easier. No worries mate, she'll be right 🙂I loved Thailand when I went.
Thank you Serg for this very thorough and concise guide on essential things needed in Thailand. Will the VPN over-ride the required 2-Step verification when signing into IPhone and MacBook Air laptop?
Glad you enjoyed it Heather. All the VPN does is change your IP location. So for instance when I am in Thailand, I could fire up my VPN and have it route through Dallas, Texas (or wherever). Then I can watch Netflix shows that are in the US. If I don’t do that, I will get a lot more Thai content when I log into Netflix on my computer here. It’s also useful for booking hotels and airline tickets, as sometimes when that website thinks you’re in a different city it will give you better rates.
The VPN just changes your location to make the website you go to think you are in a different place than you really are. It will not affect any 2 form factor authentication.
@@LifewithSerg This helps a lot. Thanks again Serg. I really enjoy your videos!
As a Thai I recommend whoever needs a taxi just insist the driver to use meter without extra charge only, and for the TukTuk the price should be the same price as taxi that you can check with the taxi rate in Grab application
Grab is more expensive than regular taxi (meter) But Grab is great where you need a ride quick with limited taxi service, especially in my soi
I have several Thai friends. I’ve been with them when they try to catch a cab later at night and the driver still told them a flat rate. I watched one friend turn down seven different taxi drivers before one agreed to use the meter. And she is Thai.
It’s definitely more expensive, but I find it as a foreigner sometimes it’s a lot easier for me. Especially if I’m going to an important appointment, I want to make sure I’m going to the right place.
The Rabbit card doesn’t have a discount for non-Thai seniors but MRT offers half off train rides to farangs as well.
Should I assume that the half off is only for seniors?
@@LifewithSerg Yessir.
In that case I still have a few years to go. Lol
I’m curious on what setup do you use. Camera and microphone?
Everything is recorded on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I have always used the built-in microphone, but one of my subscribers sent me a Hollyland Lark 150 wireless microphone set up, so I’ve been using that in the last few videos. I use a very basic handheld tripod. All of my videos for the last two years have been edited using iMovie on my iPhone. I’ll be making the switch to Final Cut Pro X on a MacBook Pro soon.
Have a good day my friend
Thank you!
Hii Serg! Amazing vid as usual! Just a quick question, I assume you can top off the transport card once you buy it...right? Like, do they have a place in the station where u can top it off? Or how is it? 👀 Bc for instance, here in Arg, we've sth like that, u buy only one card and you've in any station a place to top it off and in some kiosks and I wanted to know if it's like that e.e
Anyways, thank youu! n.n
Yes, every station has a kiosk where you can top it up. So you only have to get the card once.
@@LifewithSerg Oh that's so good to know hahaha I was freaking out a little bit about it haha Thanks Serg!
One does not need to carry change to get a ticket to ride on the BTS nor the MRT. You can simply go to the attendants who are always working the windows and buy a single fare using bills. It's quick and no passport required. For short timers and infrequent users this would be a wiser choice.
I think the easiest solution is to get a BTS and an MRT card. That is what I did, and it’s made life so much easier
make sure you have at least 2 bank cards. Use ATM at open bank with security guard only.
Nah. Don’t need a security guard. Don’t scare people.
@@LifewithSerg cards get swallowed by machines, you cannot retrieve them if the bank is not open. Also skimmers are used at atms that are not attached to a bank. Seen it happen 100s of times.
I like your t-shirt where did you get it thank you
MBK mall in Bangkok.
Mrt cards can be used in all train lines?
No, just MRT.
12:15 A little correction, LINE is owned half-and-half by both a Japanese (LINE Corporation) and a Korean (NAVER Corporation) company.
The two largest user bases of LINE are Japan and Thailand, with Indonesia being the third but falling off in popularity in favor of WhatsApp.
So you're wrong about the Southeast Asia part, it's only true for Thailand. Even the Philippines mostly uses Facebook Messenger
I’m wrong about a lot of things, I’m used to it. Lol 😁🤣
remember when LINE went public? Openly traded on the stock market. I haven't showered for months. I have already taken a bath.
For vacations, wouldn’t your travel insurance cover any medical costs? Just wondering if you recommend getting this as an extra on top of travel insurance?
Hi Kristy. Since I’m not on vacation and living here, my US health coverage will only cover emergencies. I’m not willing to take that risk since I’m going to be here for quite some time. If you’re only coming for a vacation, then of course you don’t need to bother with local health insurance.
A pack of cold tissue drinking water (from 7/11)morning and evening is the best time to walk.Hey Serg your Thai better and better hope you learning more.👍👍👍
Yeah, I tend to go out in the middle of the day when it’s the worst heat. 555. I know that’s not very smart. I’m trying to teach myself some Thai. It’s going very slowly.
@@LifewithSerg 555 can only be understood by people who know something of Thai culture... Hahaha
I’m trying. 😁
Thumbs Up 👍
Thank you kindly.
14:15 7 11 T-shirt. You are funny 🤣
I had to get one. Lol
Can you bring a bike on the bts or mrt?
Only a folding bike. I wish you could bring a full size bike. That would really rock!
What phones work do you need a sim card?
All phones made in the last 10 years will work worldwide. Yes you can get a SIM card from any provider here. I strongly recommend AIS, they have the biggest network in Thailand.
I did study Thai language for 6 months in Thailand. I can read and write. But I can only speak a little.
I’m surprised it’s not the other way around.
Grab is more expensive the Taxi using meter, but is great if you do not have a lot of taxi traffice in your "soi" like for me from my soi to airport would cost 40 baht but when I used grab 180 baht.
It definitely cost more, but sometimes I feel the convenience of making sure that the driver knows where I’m going is worth it.
Grab is generally more expensive than Bolt but oddly enough the meter runs anyway and the meter fare is less than the online price.
@@LifewithSerg Yes, Enjoy your video Serg
Yes I have noticed that the meter fare is almost always less than the online price. However, what I like about Grab is that I know that the driver is going to take me where I need to go, and I don’t have to dicker over the price.
Have you been to the Philippines? After visiting the Philippines a couple times I’ve never been anywhere where the people were so friendly I loved it. Do you think the people in Thailand are even more friendly?
Eric, I have not been to the Philippines yet. I absolutely plan on going. There were a lot of Filipino people in the San Francisco Bay area where I lived for 40 years. They are definitely very friendly people.
I Think so,Eric.The Philippine peoples more friendly than Thailand....Many the expat in Thailand......55555
Thai people can’t understand much English so we are quite shy. But when we smile to you or help you out of our comfort zone we are so sincere. It cones from our heart even we can’t communicate well we still help you.
❤❤❤
Thanks!
Westerners always complaint about the hot climate in Thailand but one thing you might not realize is no one dies because of heat wave. I know a lot of people in the states died because of heat wave.
It’s a different kind of heat here. It got much hotter in Texas (44°) and that is much more dangerous than the weather here. The humidity here is really the tough factor.
มีเสื้อ7-11ด้วย
Yes I had to buy one. I go into 7-eleven so much. 555
Can you show the Russia food in Bangkok. 😁
I should do that! Been thinking of it.
@@LifewithSerg I have no idea how Russian eat at all. 😁 😁😁
🙏🙏
🙏👍😃
สวัดดีครับพี่ชายดูวีดีโอวันนี้พาเดินในทีสาธารณะรู้สึกผ่อนคลายเเละพี่ได้เดินออกกำลังกายไปด้วยเดินเสร็จต่อด้วยไอศครีมกินเเล้วชื่นใจขอบคุณสำหรับวีดีโอวันนี้ครับ😊
Glad you liked it. Ice cream was good!
Do they use whatapp too?
Yes, but not much at all. Mostly all Line.
About taxis, if you have a Thai girlfriend or wife, let her get the taxi. If they don't use a meter, she justs shuts the door and flags another one down. Because she speaks Thai and they can't pull the wool over her eyes. But most taxi drivers are very nice too,,,,,,,,,,,,
Yeah, I don’t have this problem honestly. I just told them in Thai where I want them to go and make sure they turn on the meter.
Missed this one :-( I am disappointed. Yt algo betrayed me :(
YT messing with you. Lol
@@LifewithSerg yep 😉 and you are spot on with your survival guide :)
I was threatened to be killed by the Russian mafia on Koh Samui (because they wanted me to make a very lucrative deal with Chinese millionaires which I declined) and strangely was offered to kill a man right where you are in Lumpini park.....sounds incredible but both are true. I am not a criminal and of course declined the proposed murder. Thanks for your video with good points. I spent about three months in Thailand and despite the above-mentioned incidents I did some amazing travels. The Thai people are wonderful people....the problems I had were with certain foreigners.
That’s pretty wild Steve. Glad you still managed to have a good time here in Thailand.
@@LifewithSerg Yes it was plain crazy but I did get the chance to visit amazing temples, do course in meditation with monks, see fantastic scenery with a mystical vibration, do some long distance swims and travel down the Mekong river and many other wonderful experiences. My misfortune was to meet a very attractive Russian girl who tried to lure me into illegal actives. Did you happen to know that Americans are the only nationality part from Thais of course who can buy real estate in Thailand? The Russian mob wanted me to buy properties and then resell them to Chinese with false contracts.
I think those people just want to practice English with you ;-) And i am sure they like you too.
Quite possible! And I’m ok with that. Actually had a random lady invite me to lunch as we were getting on an escalator the other day. Lol
‘The friend’ I’m meeting in September I ‘met’ on TF.. 😂.. let’s see how it goes ..
I’m rooting for you Jon!
@@LifewithSerg thank you 🙏 Been chatting 9 months. Works in office. I’m open minded but we shall see. Cheers
I’ll be honest with you, I met my best friend here via Tinder a little more than a year before I came here. It was great to finally meet her when I arrived, and she is still my closest friend here in Thailand.
@@LifewithSerg great. I’m hopeful as I said, we chat daily. I’m not one for regrets so shall meet , see how it goes .. works ft , and she’s not a youngster .. late 30’s.. lives with her sister. Don’t drink much , seems quite grounded. And to date , never asked for money. Haha - yet 😂..
@@LifewithSerg main issues are trust , honesty & communication with a ldr . Then The cultural and language issues etc .. but one step at a time !..
I like it when you wearing your 7 eleven T-shirt and walk in 7-eleven store. I wonder what they think when you grab the bottle of water.
“I’m from corporate, conducting quality control” lol
Walking and talking at the same time along the road are dangerous. Try sitting and talking somewhere nice and show footage during the talk.
I find that I think better when I’m moving, and it’s also much more scenic previewers. If I have to sit in one place and talk for that long, most people would find it very boring.
Like your videos but you're mistaken about only living ONCE your soul (never) dies you have lived many lives you just don't remember them next time you see a Buddha monk ask him they are aware of this have a great day
It’s just a saying. I definitely believe in reincarnation.
