Is this gentlemen staying in Thailand full time. Meaning no monthly trips to re-up the visa
Fellow Canadian here who is coming to Thailand in January 2025 with no plans to return to Canada. I don't have much of a plan. Just going to travel around for a bit and find a place that speaks to me. It might not be Thailand. It might end up being another country. All I know is that I am done with Canada.
Thanks for the video.
Living the dream gentlemen.
So nice seeing people escape the West and live it up abroad.
Another awakened wonder. Cheers to more men making phenominal choices ๐๐ป
Great interview of a great well balanced guy. I'm in planning for my departure from the USA and Floyd seems like the type of traveler I would like to be, In Thailand but not involved in the bar girl scene. Great information.
So brave and wonderful to travel the world!
Jomtien is fantastic. Don't tell anyone!
Just don't bash your own country and all is good. Our dollar is what allows us to live like Kings in these countries while the local population cannot travel. Appreciate and respect our home.
Are there a lot of wolf spiders that fly across the room?
good video, info
Great video and guest, Dan. Floyd has it figured out. He's traveled the world and has found his place. I'm still searching and enjoying the journey. Never been happier. Don't wait…get out there and see the world for yourself!
Great video, I'm retired 54 with a good pension living in Southern California. This makes me want to venture and travel outside of the States
Which community does the gentleman live in? Thanks.
Ima retired expat from the US living in Thailand seven years
Every day great. Havent missed rhe US for a moment.
What a great story! And Jomtien sounds heavenly – quiet, beach, eating out every day, awesomeโค. Great info, Dan, thank you.
Another great interview Dan. Floyd been so many places I'm surprised the two of you haven't run into each other at the airport somewhere.๐
Floyd's friends and followers are always looking forward to his latest chat. He has life figured out!
If you have unlimited internet on your phone, couldnโt you just create a hotspot at home and not need the WiFi and WiFi bill?
I question living on that amount of money in Thailand. I spend more monthly at the grocery store here. After 30 years here, I don't buy it.
So I am not interested in seeing how little I can spend in Thailand when I retire. I do plan on retiring in Thailand, probably either Pattaya or Chiang Mai. I plan on having a 2br apartment with a sea view (or mountain view if in Chiang Mai). I plan on eating out twice a day, probably street food for lunch and a casual or local restaurant for dinner. Go to a bar perhaps once a week. Maybe a massage once a week. Basic utilities like wifi,, cell phone, A/C, etc. I don't expect to live like a king, but I do want to live a good life that I am not wanting for anything. I worked my whole life, the whole purpose of moving to Thailand would be to live a 'luxurious' life on a budget that I could not accomplish in the United States. What is a reasonable budget for a situation like this???
Thanks Dan, an interesting and informative conversation. Floyd is a nice guy with an open and honest personality. The numbers were great, just visa fees to look at now.
Living under $1k is not enough.
Good video keep em coming ๐
Hey. Would like to know.do you still keep your property in your own home country once you retire in thailand or any other? And how do you settle your visa ? Is it that you retire overseaswhile keeping your propertyin home country as a backup ?
It's Pah-tah-ya!!!
I spend that 3 days on soi 6, Boooooooooooom
As a gay man looking forward to leaving the US when I retire, Thailand has always been on my short list of possible destinations. It's great to hear that Jomtien is an open minded town.
Dan, one of your betters interviews.
๐
I really appreciate these interviews with people who are living in one place. Getting many different perspectives is great education.
Can I ask, it seemed many expats were leaving Thailand for Vietnam and Cambodia due to expenses. Has that calmed down?
Hey i have a question being from Canada too , does he still have foot in Canada (pays Rent or Home) or only Rent in Thailand now , if so is that hard to do if i'm 30 years old versus someone retired to stay long times in Thailand ? How does that work because of Visa there's probably a time limit you can stay there no ? Thank you~
802 plus the cost of health insurance and visa cost, add another $150 / 200.per month.
It can be less if u own instead of rent and your wife contributes 500 to 1000 a month or more.
Ok, so good job Floyd, but I doubt that you have a regular girlfriend. I would say that $802.00 a month is really minimalist and should not be expected ( also, Floyd has another source of money coming in through YouTube ) Jomtien has a lot of modern condos, the cheapest would be around $400.00 but you are not getting any extra amenities with that. For $200.00, if you can find it there, you are basically living like a Thai in some street rental.
For $600.00 you can get a large studio or a 1 bedroom that's in a nice, secure building, that has a gym and a pool and a washer, fully furnished with big fridge, microwave and TV.. I can do the street food scene in Thailand and sticking to that could eat pretty good for about $300.00 a month. Throw in another $100.00 for some local groceries (including 7-11) and water. Add power, hi-speed internet and cell phone, that's at least another $250.00 plus $100.00 transportation All that is about $1350.00 a month, if you are a total hermit. Also, remember that you need to put down, at least one month rental deposit, a lot of places require 2 months, so that's dead money. Most guys would date or have a Thai girlfriend and that i could cost you, at least another $550.00 ( cause now you are paying for 2, food and reasonable stuff she needs) but only Thai local mom's and pops restaurants.
Bottom line, if you are single and don't date, you can live well on $1500.00 a month. If you are dating (and I am not talking bar girls) it's going to be $2000.00+ . I've done all of Europe, South America, North America, Australia and Pacific Islands, Micronesia and most of Asia( not been in Malaysia, Indonesia and Burma ) but not as a backpacker, on a backpacker budget. Based on what I 've seen where Dan has stayed, that's pretty much my style and in some places a little bit more.
I've been to about 8 places in Thailand and the biggest problem are longer term Visas. They definitely require more money. Thailand does not want more permanent people that are spending $1000.00 a month. That's why many foreigners wind up in jail for overstaying their Visa. The days of making border runs are long gone and if they see you leave the country and try to come right back only after a few days, they will deny you entry. For a one year visa, you have to shell out some serious money and show proof that you can support yourself ( at least $2000.00 a month pension) or put in about $22,000.00 in a Thai bank toward a permanent residence. You can never own land (only with Thai wife, in her name), never be a citizen and will always be looked on as a foreigner. In Thailand, they love tourists but basically favor permanent residents that have money, and their Visa policies constantly keep changing.
My question would be, Do you need to be this cheap? My thing would be to live like a king there. Are you saving money for a reason? I could see if you were poor or needed to save up for some reason but you seemed to have a good career where you should have some money saved up. It seems like you're defeating the purpose of going to a cheaper country. Cheap is how we should be living in the usa not Thailand. Hey, its your life and u can do what you want im sure im going to see if anyone responds but but im in Chiang mai now and with all the good cheap food here i think its crazy to eat that microwave crap at 7-11
How big is your studio/condo in m2 ?
