This dude is real, no sugarcoating or beating around the bush. Straight shooter, no BS.

You're so right. Routine is crucial. Having a purpose is crucial. Good job, Wayne! 🎉😊

I did a six month exploratory trip in 2020 and learned a lot. I am entering my second year of living in Chiang Mai and my budget remains at $1200 US per month. I chose the suburbs so that I could have a house without all of the noise of the city. As you said lifestyle determines your budget, mine is simple, and like Wayne I have settled into a nice routine of living in a beautiful part of the world.

Hi Wayne, As you said, the budget depends on what lifestyle you want. Basically It's Up To You!

Wayne...GREAT. Thank you.
My relocation is on 01 March (24 days, not that I am counting). Looking forward to it. My last 1 month stay totaled #1000 USD. Including room rent, food, transport, AND....1 trip to Bangkok for retirement visa. And I had a really fun time.

Wayne, at one point in my life I took a nose dive and found myself at the bottom of the sea. I was going to have to start over again and the thought was so depressing and overwhelming I had almost lost all hope. My dad, who has sense passed away, kept telling me, "Son, the first thing to do is to have a routine. Just a simple routine." I didn't want to hear it at first, but my dad's words saved me as I emerged from the darkness. Wayne, your vlog rings true and reminds me of my father's words. Thanks, brother. Appreciate you and much love and respect to my dad.

A reason to get up in the morning, a purpose for the day & a cute Thai girl in your bed at night, that's a routine👍

[RayRay]

This is the type of vid I was looking for, you got my sub ❤

I always say it's not "how much money do I need to live in Thailand", but "how much money do I need to live the life to which I aspire", and you can lead a comfortable simple life on not very much. You do need to have something to do, a focus, to keep you occupied and out of the bars and also (and this is really important) access to an emergency fund in case things go wrong big style in some way.

Wayne, you're my spirit vlogger! 😂 I think that's one of the reasons you are still my favorite YouTuber. Watching your videos is like watching my future self. Having a routine and keeping it simple is what gets me through my days.

[rickyisaan]

Love it Wayne. Routine has definitely been part of my time here and even with my recent life changes it'll keep me going here

[lukemceo]

Thank you Wayne! I will be moving there within the next 2 years and have been trying to get a better idea of a budget and you are the first to bring up the routine aspect, That makes a lot of sense as that is exactly how my budget works now just didn't realize that until now. Thank you

Routines save me from going off the rails; there is comfort in a routine, so long as you can adapt when you need to, e.g., a crisis or change of plans. A critical component of any routine is knowing what you are going to do that, if it does make you happy then at least you are content with it. Morning tea or coffee and a book at a quiet cafe. You are trumps Wayne, candid, forthright, and grounded in how you present and that is truly appreciated. Coffee and Gym in that we are the same, and I lived in Bristol and I loved it.

great video as always Wayne... I think one not only needs a steady income stream out there in order to be able to move there but I think its important to also have a plan of what ya gonna do and allow that into your budget! living somewhere and going on a long term holiday are two entirely different things!!

[johnshores]

I just spent 7 weeks with my GF in Ayutthaya over Xmas as a trail run for retirement this summer I managed to live the 7 weeks on £1500 which included trips to Prachuap kiri khan and bang saen . Everyone's budget is different it's up to the individual to work a budget around what they can afford .

[grantar]

Spot on Wayne, routine is so important. I always enjoy those "day in the life" videos some YouTube vloggers occasionally do, kind of puts things into perspective. Cheers, that was a great video 👍

[mallya]

Well said Wayne it’s all about individual lifestyles and having routine is a great way for our sanity no matter where we live 👍great video as always

[dirtbikediary]

George and Mildred Roper, their from Hampton Wick! My favorite videos of yours are when your out of the Chiang Mai routine and adventuring about!! Gives you a sparkle! Looking forward to your next travels. Take good care mate.

If you can get by on X amount at home, you will be able to do so in Thailand with a comparable, or likely even slightly better standard of living.

[nealweeks]

Totally understand. I am the same way even at home. Nice video.
