I Live Better In Thailand Than I Did In The U.S. – Here’s How Much It Costs | Relocated
Yes and 10 percent tip is greatly appreciated not like us tip rip off
Living in Bangkok is amazing until you need complex healthcare.
🔥🔥
Another BIG LIAR about Thailand…This is my comments about this YouTubes talk about Thailand
Living off $8K USD a month and eating street food is overkill in Thailand! $8K USD in Thailand is similar to living off $15K USD per month in the US because it's 45% cheaper in Thailand compared to the US. One can live very well with only $3K USD per month in Bangkok! You will not suffer with that amount.
Bringing a girlfriend or wife to Thailand is like bringing a sandwich to a buffet! You just don't do it!
That rent is astronomical for a 1 bedroom in Bangkok
Yah this video is totally relatable to anyone. Everyone makes 230k a year and has the luxury of working remotely with their 20 year web dev position.
Haha no single guy needs $8000 a month to live here. If you have $3000 you are better than fine. I have a big pension and large rental income from years as a corporate attorney – about $15000 a month. We live in Hua Hin and live large on about $5000 as a family of 3 and owning 3 pool villas outright. I can’t possibly spend anything close to what I make here.
I always wanted to move to Thailand! ❤️
20+ years freelancing web dev , dude see generations of web development.
Passport bro 😅
Can’t believe that the US is so bad that some third world tip like Thailand is so much better ,, so glad I don’t live in the US
we all understand if its because of the ladyboys
People need to realize that you can do this on far less and it'll feel like earning as much as he actually makes. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if you save up what he makes in a few years being over there because it's that cheap to live there.
41 myself, have visited Thailand twice myself and countless other countries outside of North America and Europe, and so ready to retire early and live abroad on what I have saved in 401k, Roth IRA, stocks, crypto, and liquid. Jesse is engaging in 'extravagant' means based on his figures and cost, I promise you a life abroad is achievable for much less, and is close to as enjoyable as he's described it. Now that my kids are moved out of my home (one college and one in assisted living), I'm constantly pushing my wife to consider doing something similar to this, as I am too over the 'stresses' of living in the United States. Congrats to you Jesse, and all those that have achieved such a desired life (domestic or abroad, I'm no hater).
Let be clear, this guy is a digital nomad who could have gone anywhere in the world and lived like this. He picked Thailand because he likes Thai women. 😊
And of course 🐱 is cheap. He's treated like a rockstar there
i came to USA (los angeles) from Indonesia 20years ago, i cant wait to go back to indonesia since i saw my cousin and family are living so much better there and happier
Such a simp…it’s so annoying 🙄🤦♂️
Great video.
this class of guy is gentrifying the world
All that b-roll almost has me sold!
Thailand 4 life!!!
It's a lovely country. But it's hot. Really hot. Keep that in mind you like winter or cool temperatures. If you're American you must realize that it is a very different legal system. You do not have all of our constitutional protections. Sure, you think you're law abiding and avoid trouble but you never know what can happen. Make sure you're acquainted with Thailand's criminal and civil laws.
I would love to visit Thailand one day! Cheers from Canada.
the district is his fav
This man is rich af, he could basically live anywhere. I need a video of a normal person moving to Thailand, not mr six figure income talking about how luxurious and cheap it is there. lol
