I AM DOWN FOR THAT!! I just finished watching another video on this channel talking about how NYC has surpassed San Francisco rent wise as the most expensive city! Rent in both places is crazy!! Most people are not making that much in their job(s) either as a couple and/or independently!! It is ALL about LIVING and NOT just surviving as we are doing out here!! One only needs about $2000+ to live in places like the Philippines or Thailand. Having $230K would definitely work! Prayerfully I will be retiring in Bangkok soon!! I have not seen ONE person or family move back to the SF Bay Area after leaving anywhere for a lower cost of living because they "missed it".....and I am willing to bet I never will either...!!!

For anyone deterred by his 230k income...I used to live comfortably in Bangkok for $30 - $45 per day. You can get a condo w/ gym, pool, and security for like $500/mo. Also agree about safety overall. I used to cut through dark alleyways alone at 3 am and all kinds of things living in the city and have never experienced any sort of danger. I don't know anyone else who ever has either. When asked where the most dangerous place I've ever traveled to is, I always say Los Angeles or other American cities. lol

As a Thai native born in 1952 and educated in both Australia and the US altogether for 7 years, I find it interesting to watch Bangkok grow over the years. When the skytrain project (BTS) was proposed 30+ years ago, Thai and expat sceptics termed it "pie in the sky" as it was not undertaken by the government but was built on the concept BOT (Built, Operate, Transfer) concession, ie, securing the rights to operate the skytrain for 30 years before all the assets given back to BMA (Bangkok city govt). However, the concessionaire proved the doubters wrong. It was and still is popular enough to make the project break even in less than 5 years and the rest of the remaining years are pure profit. That was the first line and later the national government saw the benefits of electric trains in Bangkok but the cost was/is prohibitive for the private sector to build on its own. So the govt built the civil infrastructure and when completed gives out tender for private sector to bid/run the system by securing train and signalling system themselves. Thus, Bangkok is now one of the better city to live in due to convenient electric trains (several lines) that run in central Bangkok and surrounding areas.

@@DR-ex7yu if you're half Thai you're better off getting a passport here and getting a job as a citizen so companies don't have to pay for work permits. There was heaps of work for Thais after covid. Couldn't get staff as it was competitive as. But now most companies are putting freezes on hiring because the world economy is in the beginning of a depression. Being a look khroung they'll also expect you to be fluent in Thai and treat you like a local with a local salary. If you could get a job at an American company (as they really want fluent English speakers, not the Thai 'oh a toiec score of 500 is good enough' English level) that would be the way to go. Higher salary than other companies. Want English speakers. And office type work. If you can sell your skills and overseas experience you might be able to get a salary of around 50k a month starting. Outside of Bangkok that is easy to live on as a single person, especially if you improve your skills and language here and just keep progressing positions quickly (a lot of large companies only hire women and they all want to get married and have kids, not careers. So it's not difficult to progress here). But you'd have to be here to get the job first, so you'd need to do a 3-4 month job search/holiday. But if you did that I'd organize the dual citizenship first.

Even if he lives in Marriott service residences that 2k usd rent he can have 2 bedroom.

I hate these type of stories. Anyone can live well in the world for 230,000. You can live well in Thailand if you make 24,000 a year.

I’m not a conspiracy nut but I think there’s a reason why you don’t hear about how cheap you can live abroad and have a better quality of life.

It is easy to live in Thailand because you earn in USD and spend in THB. If you are a first jobber in Thailand. You will get only 15,000-25,000 THB/month (455-760 USD/month) and if you got 50,0000 THB (1,515 USD) income per month, you already considered as top 10% of this country.

Asia is so far from North America. I'd explore South America - also cheap and the same time zones as 🇺🇲 Some countries even use USD as their national currency - Salvador, Ecuador, Panama, Caribbean islands.

I have lived and worked in Thailand for over 30 years and i have now retired. I have a thai wife and we own our own house. We spend about THB 100,000 per month and live very well. You could spend half this amount and still have a better standard of living than the UK or USA. No property taxes, electricity and fuel is half what i would pay in the UK and healthcare is much much better (even though it is private i only pay about THB 3,500 per month for inpatient cover).

People here don’t get it, a lotttttttt of people are only in the USA because of money that’s it it’s nothing else with 8K a month I’ll moved back to my country which is heaven on earth that’s my goal by my 40th birthday

He seems to be living at the Marriott Executive Sukhumvit Park, with all the added service fees and taxes it's about 3100/bath per day on the monthly deal. It's crazzzyyy high only to get a 30pc of laundry done and a floor wiping imo.

For those of us living in the US you can live anywhere in the world with 230K. We are looking for a place where our little money in the US can go further.

Thank you for the insights on Thailand. I am certain the number of people living in more than one country is increasing rapidly.

I'm shocked, you make 1/4 million dollars a year and you're living better in Thailand than the US? Why don't you talk about something interesting like what the taxes are like for someone earning in Thailand as a US citizen

He is not earning in Thailand. He doesn't have a business registered in Thailand and he continues, as a digital nomad, to move around. If he has a US passport then he is paying US federal taxes.

Hi I'm thinking of moving to Thailand I'm a woman with a great background also IT adept. I'm thinking of taking a teaching job. Do you think I'd have an easy time finding a second job as well to work hard and save more money for a year or two? I'm trying to get out of U.S. rents 2000 for a one bedroom ans in single this is now becoming too hard. Ang advice? Thank you I'm desiring to have a new journey.

Folks this channel is called "Make It", not how to live minimally in Bangkok. Let's just take a second and celebrate his success. You can get by comfortably with US$1k-1.5k per month. What Jesse is doing here is living the lifestyle of someone making a million dollar annual income in NYC/SF.
