Been following you for about a year now, started before I moved to BKK in July. I appreciate your videos, keep it up.

Sending love as always from newie . you, Gary, Paddy, Trev and @kingiinit inspired me during the never ending NSW lockdowns to break free and do what makes me happy. Fast forward I am now working FIFO between the hunter valley and Wongamat (that sentence in itself is a trip) You probably don't remember me, but my first visit to Jomtien in 2022 you were so sweet and talked me through my hotel quarantine and being ripped off by my Airbnb at the Riveria Jomtien (you didn't have to do that, but it shows that you're a good guy). Here's to every cold, crappy night shift that you've got me through by reminding me what I'm working for. and to proof that there are genuine people left in the world.

I'll listen too & watch your stories all day long Adam. You have a view about living in Thailand that is so refreshing to hear. What comes across to me, is your honesty about all your content.

Thanks for the video and info. Last year, I lived in the Jomtien area for 6 months and my monthly budget was $3K and that's with companionship with a regular Thai lady for 3x a week without buying any LDs and barfines. I did not eat any western food due way more expensive and been eating Thai food in the market. In my early 50's now, I was planning to retire but I changed my mind in the very last second and back to work again in CA, started from scratch. Will do this again, next year.

Regarding to what you said about having to get different cards for public transportation.

With smartphones now if they can only compile everything and make mundane task effortless instead of going from here to there.

Or a blockchain for international payments and transactions. And in Thailand you need your physical foreign passport to bank, currency exchange, pay bills, check in to properties. Passports should be digital so they aren't damaged, lost, or "run out of pages". Immigration agents could digitally stamp & update them. And your visa agent or national embassy wouldn't need to keep your hard copy f/ three weeks. I know, I know- fraud. But bank acc'ts & bill paying are digital.
