Thanks man You are real Great suggestions Thailand is wonderful Soon I will be going to Hua Hin for a likely long term stay Finding some purpose and daily routine is the way to go Walk on the beach and around town brGrilled chicken or pad kra pao A nice massage and or a swim Watch folks bring bit crazy while sipping on a plain soda with lime Karaoke A great life costing far less than my available funds brBig spending and wild living is behind me Take it easy man
Comment from : @stevechase7568

No way am i routine lol BORING 😎
Comment from : @StreetofDreams

I am planning to retire in Chiang Mai due to the low rental prices I will have a budget of about 1000 US, Social Security money I will have to pay a three month deposit as far I've seen with House rentals I am looking for a 5000 to 10000 bhat rental house so far BUT not right in the city, maybe 20-30 minutes from the main city I am hoping to live near a market, and or hospital I'm not a drinker or womanizer All I want is a simple house , simple needs , and a pet I may need to buy stuff for the house like a bed or TV and or furniture IF the rental has that already I definitely will need some mode of transportation I'll have the 23000 required for a retirement visa and or 6 month to a year lease for Visa I will have to budget food, water, electric and Motorbike and Internet/phone This won't happen until I'm 62 I've done some research and I'll need a routine too I'm unsure of what suburb to live in so far
Comment from : @roberthiller1054

All of these guys in Thailand on YT telling you how great it is and how much there is to do, but they're spending most of their time making videosbecause there's really not much to do After to visit the malls, temples, etc a few times, it gets old This is the reality these guys on scamtube aren't going to tell you
Comment from : @user-kl332mofgd43

Show some good classic houses and areas 20/30 mins out of Chiang Mai No condos or golf courses
Comment from : @GlobalTriathlonNetwork

moving there in two weeks brother!
Comment from : @johnjl23

i know i'm late to the party here but this man speaking the truth i have a pocket full of change, but i know what living at my means is and i always live below my means because one will never knows what life will throw at ya as mr waw says it is different for everyone, so be true to yourself and not try to be someone your not
Comment from : @icekangz817

Totally understand I am the same way even at home Nice video
Comment from : @nealweeks6632

Again Your are speaking the truth bro From cold NZ
Comment from : @novak4594

Would 40000 baht per month cover everything for a simple living lad?
Comment from : @howyduinyall7653

Wayne is as down to Earth and honest as you will find on these "living in Thailand" videos 👍brAnother vlogger I have been following is "Lesfrom Retired & living the Dream"
Comment from : @trustnuffin9121

This is the type of vid I was looking for, you got my sub ❤
Comment from : @RayRay33345

Wayne how do I get out to Thailand any jobs etc? And visas I need
Comment from : @Hammer89-89

Ok but my question is… HOW DO I GET A JOB IN THAILAND?!! I’m in the UK, I don’t have a uni degree, I have a standard 9-5 office job, I rent WHAT jobs are available for someone like me? How do all these ex pats just ‘go to Thailand’ and live?! I just don’t get it?! 😩😩
Comment from : @laughingoutloud8612

Hi Wayne you are remensine on your uk past 1970 gess we all relate to are good memories
Comment from : @craigchapman9685

Get down to that Fish and Chip shop at the Thae Phae gate, Chippy at the Gate, most excellent!!!!!
Comment from : @stevejohnson2130

Such a common sense vlog Wayne Well done We’ve finally arrived in Chiang Mai to retire so let me know if you fancy a beer
Comment from : @63stand

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
Comment from : @lukem4ceo

George from Colorado would be happy spending less but unfortunately he has Mildred attached to him Poor George We all know a George
Comment from : @CoolGuyDoingCoolStuff

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
Comment from : @patnewman1

Very true mate it depends what lifestyle you want I have a condo in a locals area simple everything I want 7000bht a month happy as Larry
Comment from : @davemassingham2096

The best vlog on cost of living 🙏🙏🙏
Comment from : @gilc98

Thanks Wayne for the sanity check Each time visiting Thailand on holiday is a crazy time and great fun But living there must be different for the reasons you mentioned Can a mundane low budget routine be sustained? Maybe if there is variety of locations , a week here a week there etc With low cost transport like you have I guess a 100km a day could get around the country and seeing loads of things at low cost Nomadic rather than settled living But less routine
Comment from : @adrianskipper-i8o

After the bar girls? Not too much
Comment from : @robertburnett6348

This guy is the only reason I came to Thailand 3 years ago
Comment from : @johnrichards8942

I agree, when I first went Thailand I was in holiday mode, but I quickly got bored with that, routine keeps you grounded
Comment from : @LeilaHellier

I do not know and neither do I care but I know that many will fall into your trap and be caught by your clickbait question
Comment from : @CarlosAlberto-ii1li

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 👍
Comment from : @grantar7790

thanks wayne,
Comment from : @AJ-fl2dz

George & Mildred - The Ropers 😂😂😂 - good reality check about routine ✔️👌 - Nice work brWW 😎👋🙏
Comment from : @antruok4950

Overall Chiang Mai turned out to be a huge disappointment as a long term option Worst place I’ve ever been for meeting women Just terrible
Comment from : @Scott-qo1eq

George and Mildred bahahahaha ! :) :) ;0
Comment from : @not_before_your_dinner

Spot on WayneRoutine and sticking to it is the key mate
Comment from : @erkanpartal2560

Hey Wayne, I’d be interested in you maybe doing a vlog on health insurance for expats? I don’t find many videos on a budget for health insurance Do folks buy insurance or do they self insure? It would be great if you could share a vlog! brThanks and of course keep up the great videos and looking forward to you traveling some ! Stay safe, Bob
Comment from : @Bob-rt5vd

Routine is key Absolutely correct 😃👍🏼
Comment from : @Kashif8571

Well said Wayne, I agree routine is crucial Take care mate 😊
Comment from : @noelgokel514

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
Comment from : @youtuber-MGTOW

I agree with Wayne about having a routine in life I have a routine and follow it every single day I am like a robot As for living costs, I know what my expenses are and do not need to calculate them every single day
Comment from : @Namlange70

Perfectly put Wayne Live to your means Everybody is so very different And agree totally about routine, you would be the first person I have seen on YouTube talk about it 😊
Comment from : @theflynns9783

Nice video Paul
Comment from : @Zeeian

All i need is a nice place with a view, access to western sports on tv, a fishing rod, a sack of marijuana, a bike, easy access to the market and I'd be good
Comment from : @CoolGuyDoingCoolStuff

Nice one Wayne 👍 thats it exactly once the holiday mode eases, you just need a routine and preferably one that doesn't include turning into a barfly 😂
Comment from : @andrewoakley4957

Absolute Bobby Dazzler of a vlog WaynebrbrYou've raised great points that will get people contemplating expat life thinking deeperbrbrI've heard about that Mildred mate I heard she likes to chase English vlogger arsh on the side Be careful 😉
Comment from : @Jefe_Perro

you are on point Good video
Comment from : @joezip6389

Mercedes ?brI thought George & Mildred had a motorbike and sidecar 😂 (old UK sitcom)
Comment from : @RoadrunnerBG

Nice one! I also enjoyed the last vlog with you walking around Chiang mai The sky and weather looked great! The calm before the smokey storm Part of my routine at home here in LA is watching you! 15 months until my move ti Hua Hin! Take it easy man, take it easy™️
Comment from : @deanbenson9322

Can you give a monthly number? We can see your life style, I'm curious what the monthly total supports that Thanks
Comment from : @caseywatson113

Did you just say "a little bit of the humpty dumpty?" LOL
Comment from : @caseywatson113

Gotta love a simple life My routine is similar to yours so I reckon I'd get on well there as well
Comment from : @ConorSantry

Routine is most important thing Wayne and yes I agree with you 100 percent a simple lifestyle is very important Wayne and you don’t go without you have a great lifestyle Wayne
Comment from : @roberthornbrook8374

I have been in Jomtien for 1 year and I live in a great condo with all the amenities I need in the complex I easily make it on 1000 baht, this does not include bar life
Comment from : @rickhilton2447

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
Comment from : @tanyavernon8459

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
Comment from : @dirtbikediary

WayneGREAT Thank youbrMy 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, AND1 trip to Bangkok for retirement visa And I had a really fun time
Comment from : @jodyweikal7596

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
Comment from : @johnshores4745

I think for many people it is not only a matter of need I had no problem living on the cheap as a younger man and probably could do it again as an older man But, if your ship comes in of course, you will be upgrading your standard of living and if you can afford it, offer a helping hand to others who have not been as fortunate
Comment from : @2kkto2

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
Comment from : @shaineire

I'd rather be Paul than George, imagine taking a western woman to Thailand, it would be torture 😅
Comment from : @Mark-England

For me, the numbers work and I can retire nicely in Chiang Mai as soon as I get rid of my stuff I'm just looking for a nice apartment nestled in the woods to solidify the deal
Comment from : @mistergmo8695

You have the whole park to yourself Imagine how much that park would cost if you had to rent the whole thing just for yourself My brother was rich, and he would invite me to his 4 star hotel, but I never received any more pleasure there than I would at a budget economy When all we can afford is the superfluous, we should hardly believe ourselves to be well endowed Our greater need is for something profoundly deep, and meaningful
Comment from : @davidparker2173

Great chat Wayne😁👍
Comment from : @sissisquiltandbatik

Forgot to add; I think you could have mentioned some numbers brAt least some number that covers basic food and shelter Some will say it depends, but I know there must be a number that covers a basic westerners lifestyle in Chiang MaibrYou could have shared your own numbers, for example brThis was a lazy video that provided no information
Comment from : @leefonda6203

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
Comment from : @RickyIsaan

Yes two thousand pounds a month is reasonable and enjoyablei know because this is my own budget
Comment from : @jockster5525

What's the food routine? Do you cook at home?brI'm not much into the cooking and cleaning
Comment from : @BandanazX

Good point Wayne I had my Chiang Mai routine when I lived there, and my Pai routine is much less expensive I still go back to CM on occasion and get right back into my more costly routine If I go south for smokey season that's a whole other level too
Comment from : @kregeckert8351

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
Comment from : @writeronthestormkyushu565

Yes routine and a little self control
Comment from : @wontbelongnow5567

Hola Wayne! Holidays are doenj, back in Louisiana for the Mardi Gras…April is closing in! Timely video! Thanks!!!
Comment from : @enough1494

You're so right Routine is crucial Having a purpose is crucial Good job, Wayne! 🎉😊
Comment from : @ForRiel

People believe as well they can just quit work forever and be happy just doing nothing, when eventually that will get old as well without something to get up for everyday
