The Easiest and the FASTEST Way to Move to Thailand... PERIOD.

FREE ONLINE COURSE 👇🏻

Now, I hear a lot from people who falsely believe that living in Thailand is difficult OR that they have to horde extraordinary sums of money in order to do it...

Moving to Thailand is not a difficult as everybody tries to make out.

The advice that I’m giving you in this video is not for everyone, of course, every individual has different circumstances and different requirements in life.

My goal is NOT to encourage you to be irresponsible, but rather, to point out that there are two extremes to this argument and on top of that there's an army of people out there who DON'T want you to succeed and who HATE that you have the courage that THEY lack.

If you are planning on moving to Thailand then you should have some savings in the bank.

You should have enough to get you home.

And you should have enough to pay for medical insurance, etc.

But… 

You don’t have to wait until you are as minted as Warren Buffet BEFORE you move to a country where the cost of living is a THIRD of the country that you ALREADY live in.

My wife who is originally from Thailand built our home in Northeast part and in that region it doesn’t take much to have a less stressful life compared to the states

Too many people always saying 'they're gonna do something' but never do anything!

Reasonable budget for Chiang Mai and most parts of Thailand except Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya and touristic areas. It is not budget prevents people from moving, it is the fear.

$1000 is actually too much, I struggled to blow more than $700 When I lived for a month in Chiang Mai. I finally decided to relocated to Thailand on the second of April. Thank you Brett

I'm 24, Scottish, I speak Thai fluently, have a Thai fiance and we travelled around Thailand around 4 months ago, but I can see why it's hard to move to Thailand. It's so money orientated, Thailand wants your money but they don't want you is what I take from their visas and restrictions on foreigners buying property.

This is probably single handedly, the video that made me make up my mind ! Thank you I needed to hear this !!!

[atlshawn]

Great advice . Chiang Mai is one of the areas that I'm interested in once this virus crap is over. Stay safe man.

I am a single man who lives in a major city in the southwest part of the USA. It is very difficult for me to spend over $1500 per month. My car is paid for and l have a 1 bedroom apartment, thats not in the slums. Don't eat out much and l have a few women who spend a little time with me every month. I barely drink any alcohol and l will attend live events that I like. If I can spend less than $1500 in the USA, should easily be able to live off that amount or less in Thailand.

Well escaping Australia may be the most complicated part

Beautiful natural sounds. Can't believe it bothers you. Would love to wake up to that.

❤️ that bird is in all over in Thailand 😂 you can hear everywhere its voice. Its a cuckoo family 😂

[nimblemonkey]

Good to see you back Brett! I think you're absolutely right. Some people want to bubblewrap themselves and try to think of every possible disaster that could befall them (thought the 3 motorbikes at once never crossed my mind! 🤣). But the end result of all that over thinking is paralysis; they end up doing nothing. I moved here July 2019, and I've not looked back. I sold or donated all my stuff and came here with three suitcases and a backpack at 57 yo. Divorce was my motivator for the changer of pace. I read a couple of comments about visas, and it might be good for you to revisit that issue some time. It is a pretty fluid situation on that front here in Thailand. I'm on a retirement visa, and so far so good. Cheers!

Been watching your videos on and off for the past 2 years. I love the way you explain things. Very thorough and realistic. Funny at times, but in a good way!
Looking forward to more of your videos. Great informative content!

When Brett talks about how easy it is to just move and get a client then move to Thailand, and I am just watching from my country with tears in my eyes because our economy is literally fucked and monthly salaries are almost around $300 right now, it helps makes me dream and have hopes. I wish I can do this today, I'll probably try my best soon to start planning it... first step, get a job online.

[duncangees]

When the average Thai earns less than £5 a day it begs the question why people think they need so much money to come and live here.

[veranohall]

Planning on moving to Thailand aft the end of March! This was comforting, because I've always been worried I wasn't saving enough.

[RykerFreegeld]

Good points. As someone who has worked as an ex-pat full-time freelancer for 13 years now, you can definitely make an average of 1K per month if you stay focused, but the problem with Thailand is not just the rent and living expenses; it's the damn VISA. If you're on an ED visa, you're gonna spend about 50K baht per year. Another potential dealbreaker for many (myself included) is the fact that it seems you now need insurance just to get an extension (you need to extend your ED visa every three months even if you make a 1-year deal with a school), frequent policy changes and new restrictions notwithstanding. Would be nice if someone has found a solution to this for Chiangmai (or other areas). Thai laws literally change on a weekly basis and are often confusing and disjointed. Basically, if you're from a western country, probably not a good idea to set your mind on staying there for the next 20 years, unless you've found some kind of visa deal I haven't heard of (unlikely), or are willing to spend 30K USD on the Thail Elite visa (20 years) or 18K for 5 years (going up to 20K next year). Then of course there's marriage, but that comes with it's own risks I guess.
Basically, China is gaining a stronger and stronger foothold in the Thai gov, and they clearly DO NOT want westerner's there anymore. So unless you have a minimum of 16K to stay there for 5 years, or are married, visa is going to be a headache. Btw, even the O-type (retirement) visa has just become a LOT more restrictive and many retirees are leaving for the Phillipines due to the new financial and insurance restrictions.
Good luck guys.

You should do a video on what visas nomads are using at the moment (especially during covid) as I know border runs are off limits right now. I myself have a long term Thai partner and a stable income, but many people may struggle to work out logistically how its possible, visa-wise, to stay put. Decent vids!

I don't care about the comments. You're a breath of fresh air.

Consistently the best advice giver for Thailand imo.
