As an Asian American I am happy to see more Black Americans living in and exploring Southeast Asia as there are not enough Black people in general out there and it brings a more fun international dynamic the more diverse it gets (more and more are moving out there now). Southeast Asians are the sweetest people and will take care of you out there. Enjoy the adventure.
I don’t understand why people are hesitant to give exact costs. THAT’S what people need to know! I’m glad you gave us an idea of what it cost you to move in. People who are considering making a move like this need that information, so they can be prepared. Thanks for all the detail. Very helpful. Your apt is gorgeous!
It’s really not that simple. Every place is going to be different and it also depends on what you’re looking for as well as your budget. Also not all apartments have the same requirements to move in. So no one can truly give an exact cost. People have to understand operating over here is completely different than the states and they think places like this is the standard over here when it’s not
I think she just didn’t say too early on to viewership up and engagement higher! Geez. Imagine she said it the first 5 mins …..and then ppl click off the video lol
Ok, from someone who has lived here for a while, units in the Ekamai, Thonglor, Phrong Prom, and Asok, which are the most central and most expensive areas in Bangkok Local food is super cheap, but Western food is pricy. Visas are also a bit hard to get unless you have real money or are older to get a retirement visa. You can no longer do non-stop visa runs. You will be denied entry at some point. The Polution is very bad, especially during the high season. You need insurance real insurance that has the coverage. Thailand will not treat you if you have no money. Though the health care is world-class. Do your home work please before coming and making sure you can afford it. Thailand does not want you here to become a burden on them if you can not pay your way.
Btw what do you mean by real money? I’ve been interested in living abroad and Thailand is on my list of possible options. Idk if getting a visa would be the biggest hurdle for me 😅
@@minmeena When I said it the only real option was to get a LTR visa which was geared toward wealthy individuals or people who make 80k a year working for a publicly traded company. If not you would have to invest 500k USD in to the Kingdom(maybe buy a really nice condo), Option 2 would be the Thailand Privilege card which the visa cost about $25,000 dollars for a 5 year visa. Though right after that comment a new visa was introduced that is under $300 and allows you to stay up to 180 at a time then you would need to do a border run to get another 180, that visa last for 5 years called the Destination Thailand Visa.
I live in Pattaya, Thailand in the Jomtien Beach area. The new condo I have allow pets, we have 2 infinity pools, restaurant, rooftop bar, a cardio room, weight room, pool talble, arcade room for kids, a garden with water surrounding it, 2 libraries.. a beautiful chandelier lobby.. 43 stories high with ocean views. I have a 1 bedroom with ocean view. They offer cleaning service for less that $ 25 USD weekly. Cost $450 USD monthly.. give or take. You just can’t beat the living here🩷💜🩷
Hubby and I could afford $1,600 USD which is how much he receives from his military pension. So, the rent payment is guaranteed to be paid each month. We have six figures saved and $0 debt. Sounds like we'd be able to afford to live quite comfortably overseas. Going to definitely explore out options.
Hey guys the second website to find an apartment was called “ddproperty” I used the one I mentioned mainly it has easier search and better toggles but I did end up using an agent from ddproperty (I used both but the dd prop is how I got the apartment) I found the listing on the one I mentioned tho!
Greetings Paris Williams! Congratulations on your relocation to Bangkok Thailand 🇹🇭! I have subscribed to your channel in support of your efforts. Thailand is very affordable on many levels of income or affordability. Continue to have the time of your life there and surely I will visit Thailand in the future as I hear that the country is an amazing place to relocate or visit once visa requirements are met. Thailand has thousands of cats and other animal as well. The buddhist culture there is amazing. Take care and I off viewing the remainder of your videos of Thailand.
I just wanna see this the video I needed and I give you so much props. I’m wishing you so much success and prosperity because that is the mindset that you gotta have when you wanna become success you cannot be in a fearful state of mind you cannot let other people Fears and doubts into your mind. You have to trust in THE ALL (GOD) and be willing to do the work yourself you go girl!
Found you on IG, I’ve been looking at Bangkok for over a year! Amazing price especially with it being a duplex that is pet friendly! Many blessings! ❤❤❤
You funny asf... Never been this rich before.. I know thats right ( yes its a filter) i absolutely understand why you was stalking this apt its EVERYTHING. forget the commenters talking bout why u get that lol if i knew i could hustle 1k worth of rent id be all over that. im a mid tier girlie myself but just learning how to be a working girl so im living vicariously through you pooh! Your house is and extension of you. Big thoughts need big space. Rooting for ya girl ill be in thailand soon myself hope to see you.
Watching this video and listening to you speak really gives me a lot of motivation. My partner and i have a small totes and accessories, business, but I've been having a lot of difficulty being overwhelmed with so many things and different directions. doing this on my own with the help of my amazing partner, I find Myself sometimes feeling lost and I don't know what to do next, I keep trying I keep watching different videos. I keep looking for help and guidance, but it's just bogged down by people wanting money for programs and programs and not offering any assistance but watching your video gives me a bit of inspiration To keep moving, no matter why and to keep trying and just have faith
I’m currently on a break from my business. And as hard as it is. I know I’m doing what I need to do taking a break for my mental. It’s hard financially not having that backing but when I come back I know I’ll be stronger than ever. I’m also taking this time to build new routines and healthy habits and research more vendors as I’m in Asia. So God has a plan for me and it’s def working. Sometimes you just need to take a break and reassess or reconfigure how you’re doing things and make sure you’re taking care of yourself 🫶🏽🫶🏽
Nice place! 😊 Yes, Pet friendly condos/apartments take a little more effort to find but there are definitely quite a few. I’ve found roughly 20 so far in my search and more than half are newer or even luxury condos actually. The Tait Sathorn 12 is the most recent one i’ve found so luxury condos are definitely possible :)
Trying to relocate here....Does your building have any availability? Or do you have a realtor who can find me something like this in the same price range?
This is gorgeous!!!! OMG, im looking for a pet friendly spot too and this looks so nice. I'm gonna check out the building, maybe we can be neighbors 💖💖
Hey Paris I a got a little confused. So you found the apartment on FazWaz but the agent wouldn't show you the apartment? You mentioned another agency showing you the apartment but you forgot to put it on the screen. How did you find the other agent? Are agents for the units listed on google when you search for the apartment?
I put the second name in the comments I can’t remember it off memory but yes I found it on FazWaz, but the owner was very adamant about who showed the apartment so that agent did not get to show me but I double booked for my own good and it worked out with an agent from the other site. The contact info will be on the platform you find the place on and you’ll be able to send your info and someone will reach out.
Soooo happy for u girl!!! Living literally vicariously through u! How do u communicate and negotiate when you dont speak the language? And do u hate cleaning is that why u always hite housekeepers since u be so busy and probably too tired too comr home and clean lol
Yes I just do a lot as one person filming editing getting dressed makeup hair it’s a lot to clean right up and I hate mess so I delegate & hire help. I hate cooking too I just can’t afford a chef yet 🤣 so I cook. But you can use apps but my agents & owner spoke a little English. And I’m just great at communicating when I don’t know languages body language also goes along way and hand gestures. It’s sounds crazy but it works
I LOVE THE PRICE of your APARTMENT!! I’M ALSO A MODERN WOMAN and LOVE the APARTMENT ITSELF!! LOVE HOW YOU THINK…. You just got up and DID IT!!!! 😇😇💪🏽💪🏽🙏🏾🙏🏾♥️♥️👏🏾👏🏾
For Americans you as of this week can get 60 days on arrival and can apply for a 30 extension and then can do a border run to get another 60 day stamp 2 times per calendar year. With out applying for a longer visa type. The options are you can get a retirement visa, Education visa(not recommended), Muay Thai Visa, LTR visa, Thailand Privilege, and The DTV or Destination Thailand Visa.
To many people not actually learning and fake schools have made it more scrutinized by authorities. Also there have been many instances where a school disappears of just get shut down and then you need to leave the country with in a few days.
@@DerrickWe So, nothing wrong with it then, you would just need to do correct research and choose the correct school. As with any visa - research is key

Why not work locally? Is that only reserved for Locals?
@@moecrum5728 Well a few reasons, one is pay you will make local currency are local rates. It is way smarter to do geo arbitrage and get more bang for your money.
