Just came back from the Songkran celebrations in Rattanaburi Surin Province ... where we spent time with my wife's family ... Beautiful time, beautiful people, beautiful country .... Looking to move to Krabi in the near future ..
Nice introductory video Joe Well presented and good to know the back story on why and how you ended up in Thailand Curious where in Isaan? My wife is from Buriram and we spent lockdown there which was 100% better than how it was in Australia Will be following your updates with interest, especially to see how the business develops
Darkside of living rural in Thailand is that so many expats gets bored of their skull and pretty isolated .....OVERTIME (after the honeymoon year is over). Its not easy to live as "farang outsider" in villages where people goes to bed sun down and rise with the sun and it's really nothing to do..except gossip, go to the local market, work and often drink the hardship away. Best is to have many HOBBYS that keeps u occupied and hard study thai language full time. I hope u doing good and get happy there.🙏
I think living in rural Thailand away from “farangs” does not necessarily mean you feel alone. For 47 years I was a career educator in five different international schools overseas. Not only were you pulled in five different directions by the classroom, high expectations were placed upon you by the administrators at these high performing schools. I now appreciate my solitude in rural Thailand and have no desire to meet other “farangs”. My canine smiling buddy and tropical garden keeps me happy. It all depends on one’s personality.
@@williamhartz8707 its not lack of farangs... its more that there is nothing to DO in most villages except work work work and the usual village life with gossip localmarket some partys(marriage funeral or buddha things) and village is pretty dead after 8pm ..many expats dont work..or learn thai..just sits there in there "dreamhouse" and gets bored or worse pretty fast. Hobbys and learning language is vital if u want to live rurallife and thrive there..in all my years in thailand i heard of maybe 1 of 10 really MAKES it in rural thailand and that's mainly because they studied thai and dont drink..most give up after 1-2 years..
and feel alone thing..i do speak pretty good thai(and even some isaan) ..have u EVER tried to tell a simple western joke in thai and seen the point just fly over their head? Mr.bean clips works..but other than that is pretty..gone ..se-asians are different..humor is different upbringing is different as traditions and moral is different..thats WHY "farangs" seek each others company so many times in se-asia. After a while u start to miss somebody to talk to that really gets you. Even after many years in se-asia i have more common with a Finnish man or a German than a Thai even when i dont speak finnish nor german.
Hey Joe I really loved this video mate! You've got really great screen presence. I'm definitely looking forward to more of your videos. I hope this comment gives you a bit of encouragement 😁
There’s Thousands of us Farang hiding out here in Isan, thats a Karen Ritual Rice Sickle used seasonal when the rains come, mainly Corn Durian this time of year. Go to Cuckoos nest bar and grill find many a westerner, all willing to give ill fated advice haha good luck fella 👌🏼
Joe, great video to start the channel with. I feel like I'm seeing my future play out in front of me. When I get back to Sisaket in August, we need to link up and plan that trip to Cambodia!
Hey mate! Thank you, was a little strange speaking for so long rather than the 60 seconds on other platforms, but we'll get there! For sure, when you're back, a trip across the border would be great! 👍
Some of these comments are hilarious, we got exactly the same ones when we first moved, even recognise a few names! Says a lot more about them than us mate. Thailand or England, I know where I'd rather be! Good luck with the RUclips, I'm sure you'll smash it 💪
I’m invested, amazing story and love the commitment. I worked throughout Covid on site so wish I would have been forced into a similar uncomfortable environment as I believe it give unmatched growth! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great that you started the RUclips, didn't really enjoy watching small clips on tiktok. Looking forward to see the project with the resort and such. Me myself just moved here, tried living in Chiang Mai a while but the smoke and traffic was not for me really. Now trying Rayong which i enjoy much more. Still a big city but the traffic is much much lower and the air quality is in the green almost every day. Hope for great success on your new channel, looking forward for your content here.
Hey mate! Thanks for subscribing 😀. Rayong is a great area! If you like it a little quieter than the city, head down to Laem Mae Phim. That area and the other beach areas are great down that way!
Nice one bro, keep the videos coming, for people that are wanting to make the move to Thailand but are hesitant to do so you are proof that it can work… 🤙
Good luck with the Channel pal. Im in uk at present but will be moving to Thailand soon. Have a house in SongSang near Korat. Cheers from sunny Blackpool
I am Thai, but only living in Bangkok. You are great. I suggest you wear motorbike helmet. And be safe first in every condition. Have a good life here.
Subscribed, interesting to follow👍 We bought land 18 uears ago in Nongkhai riverfront Mekong. Planned to live there. Evetually didnt do it, because i was bored to dead in Isan. Bought beachland in the South, now living the dream.
@@JoeinThailand1 Yeah sure, that would be cool. And if your looking for any collab stuff for your channel, I love filming and editing. Bit similar to you, I was mostly doing tiktok, but now want to do something more substantial. So far only made a few videos for youtube.
well for 20 years ago they had never seen a white man some of the placeses.. i remember i meet a monk the same age as me and we both had a culture shock
Fair play to you buddy I’m from Southampton myself and the thing is you’re young got plenty of time to roll the dice 🎲 and get out the corporate rat race with try something new looking forward to seeing the journey all the best u b safe 👍
No i wondering where you get money to survive i Thailand you young person you have job engalund you have stash you have money before go Thailand good luck
@robertbest4398 My wife's a health insurance agent so she sorts my private healthcare - thinks its only 30k a year for me, but I'm only 30 years old. It will get more pricey with age. Visa wise, I could get one through our business, but already have a marriage one.
Hmmm is it really that smart to go to a place during a pandemic that has "literally no restrictions" IN addition after finishing your video I do not know a thing about living in rural Isaan. You didn't even talk about it.
problem with starting business in Thailand is workvisas and that a"farang "can only own 49% of the company and that people copy you directly when u have some success. I have one Swedish/Finnish friend that lives in central Thailand and have a pretty big oilcleaning factory now with 12 employees and trucks.buying cheap dirty cooking oil from restaurants and factories and clean it for further process. Problem is that many Thai now copies it and starts pricewar with lower standard and salaries and low factory cleaning process
My god there are some negative miserable people in the comments. My story sounds very similar to yours and i plan to make the move to Thailand next year. Look forward to seeing more videos.
In answer to the title how did you end up in Rural Thailand with out watching the video I could be wrong but I bet you met a Issan girl in a bar in pattaya & that’s how you ended up living in Rural Thailand ?
@@JoeinThailand1I think 🤔 there are too many people getting jealous of your life. Wherever, and Whatever, if you are happy 😊 make it the best of your life ✨️ ♥️
@@JoeinThailand1 Go see my friend Gary he runs Ryan's Resort with his wife Nok.Been there since 2009.Good man plenty of knowledge.I live 20k south of Kumphawapi since 2008 an still only Farang in village do get occasional westeners visit with girlfriend.Suffer them but being from London don't deal with Germans you will find out why strange folk.Think Germans only like Germans.You will learn a lot in a few weeks the rest has to be lived.Even then you won't understand Thailand
I've married 2 bargirls from the Phillipines been travelling to Asia for 30years I've seen and heard it all most marriages the man has met the lady in a tourist area that's a fact. People who have met a woman in the province just walking around and bumped into them is very rare you don't see lots of foreigners in the province as for internet sites most of the ladies are freelancers and will ask for money 💵 do your research and you can work it welcome to the real world !
@johnerdelyi4208 Maybe that is the case, but I met her in Bangkok mate 😂 none of the situations you mentioned. She worked a corporate job and even though her family have done very well for themselves, she left to do her own thing for a while. Now we came back to run the fertiliser distribution business as our other company is all online.
@@johnerdelyi4208 Spot on The guy is a Walter Mitty.The thing is some clowns on here will believe him.( Got 24 yrs in this country) Never Did Mother Jude raise such a stupid child.Som Nom Nar
yappie with 50 k income, that is in uk pounds. i really can feel how hard it is for you. Poor guy, I hope you have a cense for sarcasm. I live here with my thai wife only have a pension of 80 -90000 bath. And you poor thing cant even have your privat jet. I am so sorry for you, how could this happend.
You know I quit that job right? But anyway, you'll be pleased to know we have our own businesses and make wayyyy more now. Must be a struggle trying to exchange so many baths to baht every month!? 🙂👍
Did you comment on the right video? 😂 Also, you'd renounce your British Citizenship, not English, but I guess that tells me everything I need to know haha
@@JoeinThailand1 if thailand is now your forever home. Then you should be happy to renounce your citizenship and get a thai citizenship. It's called :talk the talk and walk the walk. Meaning you believe thailand is heaven for you and you have no reason to ever leave it.
@@orangeguy3314 u do know that is nearly impossible for a westerner to get a Thai citizenship? Have u even been in Thailand other than 2 weeks in Phuket?=)
No need for the life story mate. I doubt people tune into YT to hear some stranger's fairly normal life story. Went to uni. Blah. Got a job. Blah blah. Got on flight to Thailand. Blah blah blah. After all that, you didn't even mention the business, despite repeating several times at the start "This is my business". That whole dialogue went nowhere lol. Im not trolling you mate, you seem like a nice chap and its none of my bloody business how you create content. I just thought it might be helpful to suggest you liven things up a little and be a little more engaging. No disrespect intended. Welcome to YT, I'll follow and see where it goes :)
Hey! The background is there as I have 70k+ followers on other short form platforms that constantly request more background information on me. Referring to other things like the business will help to get repeat watchers as they want to know more about those things. Impossible to cover all aspects of my life in one video. If you're after more lively videos of Pattaya it's probably not the channel for you mate 👍
@@JoeinThailand1 I said nothing about Pattaya, but I acknowledge the inference and assumption that I am a monger looking for Soi Six videos. I live in the countryside, in Isarn. Actually I have lived in Thailand for 21 years full time and have been to Pattaya four times for a maximum of three days each visit. Nice try though 🙂 By "lively" I was trying to be polite. I actually meant less boring. "More lively" really just means express some personality. Smile. Say something mildly amusing - a witty observation or two. It's a format that is becoming predictable, to be honest. People see other bloggers doing very well and jump on the blogging train hoping to do the same. But they do so by offering nothing, and it's almost getting clichéd. I'm being serious lol. It's getting a tiny bit irritating. I often get a sense that the blogger in question feels as though he is doing the world a favour by launching a channel. Honestly. The perception is "well guys, I'm finally here, how lucky you all are" And yes, you could say "well don't watch if you don't like it" but how can I avoid it?The algo seems hell bent on flooding me with new expat bloggers I used to really enjoy the blogging community. Bloggers were mostly fun. Now it's just uninspiring morons walking through a field saying "this is where we grow our Bananas". You probably think I am being an arse for the sake of being an arse but really all I am doing is challenging you to go against the grain and put a little thought into each video. Assuming you are reading this - which you probably aren't, as I suspect you shadow banned me already.
Just came back from the Songkran celebrations in Rattanaburi Surin Province ... where we spent time with my wife's family ... Beautiful time, beautiful people, beautiful country .... Looking to move to Krabi in the near future ..
I'll be following, I spent 10 years in rural Chiang Mai, back in England now but had great time, look forward to watching your adventure mate.
Nice introductory video Joe
Well presented and good to know the back story on why and how you ended up in Thailand
Curious where in Isaan?
My wife is from Buriram and we spent lockdown there which was 100% better than how it was in Australia
Will be following your updates with interest, especially to see how the business develops
Darkside of living rural in Thailand is that so many expats gets bored of their skull and pretty isolated .....OVERTIME (after the honeymoon year is over).

I think living in rural Thailand away from “farangs” does not necessarily mean you feel alone. For 47 years I was a career educator in five different international schools overseas. Not only were you pulled in five different directions by the classroom, high expectations were placed upon you by the administrators at these high performing schools. I now appreciate my solitude in rural Thailand and have no desire to meet other “farangs”. My canine smiling buddy and tropical garden keeps me happy. It all depends on one’s personality.
