I AM PRAYING YOU HAVE A HEALTHY CHECK UP 🙏😊🙏😊❤

Sounds very affordable. Glad to see it is easy to get your medical done abroad.
Oh yes every year :-)
Just had a prostate exam. The doctor gave me two thumbs up.
lol nice !
Another great informative video. Proud of you to stay focused and in charge of your health! Stay safe! Stay healthy! Stay solvent!
Absolutely!
Have a great day
Health is wealth 🙏
I agree with you :-)
Thank you for sharing. Love your channel.
Very kind
Thank you :-)
Catching this one right as you posted it, Another good one!!
Quick question... Are you walking over to Phratamnak Hill, or catching a baht bus?
It's kinda far from where you stay?
@@michael2685 thank you :-)
Good to get a medical exam every year
So important to see the full check up. Thank you for sharing. Watermelon so red and juicy!
Oh yes yummy !
Thumbs up 👍 Chris & Aloha to you
Aloha to you ! Have a good day
Thank you for sharing part of your maintenance program. Cheap compared to the States. Safe travels. Mahalo.
Absolutely
Have a great day
Love your woo hoo hoo hoo laugh. 4:44 snackos and beach perfect!
Haha thank you kindly :-)
Very important info. Thanks.
You are most welcome
Great topic and thanks for the recommendation. Just moved to Jomtien and will definitely check them out! Great channel and content
Oh this is wonderful!
Moving to jomtien!
Please keep us updated
Such a nice place
Have a nice day in Pattaya 🤗😊🫰❤️🩷🎉🎊
Thank you kindly :-)
Thanks for sharing how you do your annual blood test. It's important to stay on top of your health and getting checkups outside the US are so much more comprehensive and affordable. I go to Prince Court Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur for my annual comprehensive health screening, like a physical you would have in the US but also including many more tests you would never get with a physical in the US. This comprehensive health screening includes all the blood tests you mention but also includes things like a stress test on a treadmill, bone density test, and ultrasound of your abdomen to look for abnormalities in your organs. And it's all completed in just 6 hours, including your consultations with a dietician and a doctor to go over your results. Total cost $300 USD. That's why I make a trip to Kuala Lumpur at least annually to take care of my health screening there, just as you make a trip to Thailand annually to take care of your health needs there. Safe and healthy travels!
Thank you for this information!
Great advice!
Thank you
Have a great day :-)
Love your channel! "Coronary Artery Diseas is a toothless paper tiger that need never exist". That is a quote from Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn of the documentary 'Forks Over Knives' (Nutrition Over Surgery). Dr Esselstyn was a heart surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic who believes we are at our healthiest when we eat a whole food plant based diet i.e. the Meditteranean Diet & in the Blue Zones.
Thank you for these titles !
The blue zone diet has worked well for some. How has this diet improved your health metrics? I personally am meat based with exceptional health metrics yet I realized that a one size diet does not work for everyone. My results are way more important than research, statements, opinions and others results.
Exercise health tip: The dry sand on the beach is the best place to jog. No pounding on the joints and a harder workout than running on grass or concrete. That's the only surface on which I'll jog. My dad jogged every day for years and it ruined the cartilage in his knees and he was bone-on-bone in pain as he became older. Jog in the dry sound where your joints are not impacted.
*dry sand, not sound
Good point ! True
Just a tip. I lived in Thailand 10 years and the check ups are good there. I often went to Samitivej or Bumrungrad Bangkok which is the best in the country. This year I got my check up in Penang. It was actually better and cheaper IMO. If you're regularly going to Penang I recommend doing it there. Just book in a month in advance because they get booked up.
That is a great hospital!
Oh really? Penang? Interesting!
I appreciate this information
Thank you for your information.
Which medical facility in Penang and why better?
Another great video Chris. My buddy and I will be there in December. What is your go-to Pattaya place for a cigar? Will definitely try to check out the Sportsmen Club for the Sunday carvery.
There is a cigar shop on second road that I like across from Kiss Foods
In Bangkok there is the Cigar Corner
Great vid what about cosmetic things like teeth whitening, botox, non invasive face rejuvenation, liposuction etc. Im sure Bangkok has all kinds of good stuff 😉
Oh my yes
All available in Pattaya and Bangkok
Good Morning, Here is to getting the green light with your medical results 😀
On a seperate subject, could you please share the resources that you use to check out the health results of companys that you choose for your portfolio Many thanks 😁
Yes true
It’s so good to get a medical exam
A good thorough check
Immense phone too, I can totally relate. I think it’s going to hurt more than it does 😮
Oh yes haha
Hope you will hear good news soon, ask the doctor to take a look at your neck blood vessels also.
“Check da neck”
That can be a new phrase
Hopefully your are still doing slow travel in 3 years i'll love to meet up for a cigar and chat.
I would like that!
Aloha, don't forget about getting a colonoscopy. Mother died of colon cancer. Very preventable if caught early. Also consider skin exam
You are so right
At 50 I got my colonoscopy
So important
Bangkok is a good place for it
Pay cash cheap
@@RetireandGo sorry, wrote my note before completing the post. Keep up the good work
I don't know if I'm afraid of death- it's more that I simply don't understand it.
Sometimes I watch these "then and now" videos on RUclips with famous people from my youth.
It reminds how fkin short life is.
Darn right
What if AI creates a drug that gives us 30 percent more life?
That would be incredible
@@RetireandGo They better hurry up!
Another insightful video. I would love to hear your thoughts about living with Humility and being Humble during retirement travel years? What do you think about this topic? Do you find that other Western travelers overseas agree with you? Thank you
I agree with you
Letting go of the ego is so important to lower stress
The anxiety of “what do others think of me?”
Hello Chris, I could not agree more on the importance of regular tests top to bottom. The one question I have is why in Thailand, not back in the west? Be safe from Canada. Mike.
Great question!
I’m traveling full time overseas
I only go back for holidays :-)
I am giving up on life from the pain she caused me. I feel like I just can't deal with this suffering anymore. If I'm nit around to watch your videos and travel experiences I'm sorry brother. I just miss my dogs do much.i woke up again crying after dreams of them.
Wish you the best brother
@@aaronstone1528 I hope you feel better tomorrow
Get to Thailand and live life a little. Plenty of women to help you forget your problems at home.
You need to create a new life mate, from a blank slate. Exclude all the negative thoughts and influences. It can be done
Hi Chris, The thing which is especially common with men is that a lot of us unfortunately don't want to get regular checkups because we don't want to know and quite a few diseases that can kill you have very few or noticeable symptoms.
Pack up and go to Thailand..It just might change your mindset..What do you have to loose..
6500 Baht is cheap. I had one done in US recently at Quest. They charged my insurance $1000. And Quest won't give you the results!
It's even cheaper in Jomtien for the same. You can shop around
Quest won’t give you the results? That’s crazy
For sure just do it in Thailand
@@RetireandGo The doctor can release it to me. Meaning, my personal data belongs to the hospital.
I was gonna ask if you ever had the full spectrum testing at prince court medical center in kuala lumpur Malaysia? I heard it's the best spot.
Not yet I heard good things though !
I do blood test but never get results when I ask why answer is if something serious will call you
Hmmm interesting
I say go to Thailand from now on
Are you going to show your results? Curious what your A1C is. Thanks for sharing.
Only verbally
But dang, I was surprised
More to come
Hia..question....health question.....do you take into account the levels of pollution in each country when you travel there,? Obviously they vary through year....such as,Chang Mai..burning season. I just wondered do you avoid places deliberately at certain times of year because of higher pollution at that time,? Thankyou....have a great day! Martin..Bristol..england
Good question
Air quality is improving in Asia
I’m concerned traveling to India for this reason
Thoughts ?
Yeah, 50 plus men a colonoscopy, PSA test every year, got to do it, early detection saves you, lost 4 friends last few years over things that were easily detected, PEACE!!!
I agree :-)
So important
Great video Chris. I may have missed it, but how much was it for the blood tests (cholesterol etc) and colonoscopy? Thanks
Good question
I got my colonoscopy at 50 covered by medical insurance before I retired haha
Thailand is the best place to go get this cash , in Bangkok
Dear RETIRE & GO! I am your fans and would like able to travel like you. I have been in THAILAND this Winter for a month and will return again at Winter 2025 for 55 days > What should i do when I unable to buy medical travel insurance as you are? The SAFE WING insurance told me they do NOT cover for 70's-year-olds plus how i will fill out my TAX return if I unable to return to USA before APRIL 15/2025? I did plan to retire in HAWAII, NOW I DO THINK IS BETTER FOR ME TO RETIRE IN THAILAND SINCE I DO FOLLOW YOUR TRAVEL ON RUclips. THANKS VERY MUCH
I understand
Try the link in my description for Genki insurance
Ask them your questions ok?
:-)
I want you to travel and enjoy life !
@@RetireandGo Thank you very much.
After my question on..air quality to you..I put......India air quality....in Google.....it seems it varies through year and where you are.....so maybe just put.....India air quality ...in Google that will help you. It seems Delhi air quality really varies on when you go. Martin bristol england......I've just read that in 2019...India had 21 of the worst polluted cities in the world out of the top 30 in world....so very bad pollution apparently
Interesting! Thank you
Very cheap in Vietnam need help from a bilingual friend
Oh interesting! Good to get done
Have u tried the stem cell therapy yet? It's available in Bangkok I'm pretty sure
It’s also available in Pattaya called SureCell PRP Therapy..The expats go for their joints..
I have not
I did research it
I might do it
How about you ?
Plan to next spring..I spoke to expats last March and they all said I should go..Very successful treatment..We can’t let the old man in..
What was your testosterone result, Chris?
All men in their 40s and up should get testosterone checked
It need to be optimum
If it’s not, see a endocrinologist and get testosterone prescribed
:-)
@@RetireandGo Will you be taking TRT in the near future?
@@gothops2632 thinking about it
What are your thoughts ?
Nice video.
But red meat? Beef is not good for your body my friend. Tasty but not healthy.
I would disagree, 100% Carnivore for 2 years. Lost 73 pounds and kept it off. Do bloodwork every 3 months....everything in normal range. I do not take any meds at 61-jacked, lift at the gym 5 days a week, tons of energy. I agree very tasty, so you are half right!
@@barry4848exactly, same here, feeling absolutely amazing and blood work has shown a massive improvement. Some people still believe in backward "science".
Everything in moderation!
Everything is good in moderation
Beef is the best food for your body. I'm 75 with heart disease and for over ten years have eaten fatty beef, bacon with the grease, several eggs with the yolks daily. Saturated fat is very healthy. I lift weights, walk and work part-time. I've never felt better and feel like I'm in my 30s. Now if you're a vegan or vegetarian, go for it. But don't blame beef for hurting anyone.
Nice shirt!! Getting physical when I get back from trip to US.
Very nice
So important!
