@@gossipopithecus Lots of paperwork required - easier as your wife is Thai - you could get a joint account and then convert to other visa, such as retirement and then get an individual account. Make sure you have an ID which matches your passport country, such as driving licence. Arguments such as I have not lived in my country of birth for 20 years are meaningless here!
Thanks for feeding the dog, you have a heart of gold.
As soon as Maybelle fed the doggy you got me as a new sub and fan. So sweet and caring!

Great video guys, keep them up. Learning a lot on these videos about retiring in Thailand. Thanks again
I'm moving to Phuket this january. I'm hope to hire you to find me a place to live Homa looks nice like you said good to start. Love how well behaved that dog is that Maybelle was feeding. What a sweetie.
So nice she gave that cute pup some food. Thanks for the information. Hope to visit someday!
Great video Richie and Maybelle, loads of really useful information and that Homa place looks like a really good find. Definitely going to have a look at that.
Another fantastic vlog Richie and Maybelle roll on November first visit to Maybelles coffee garden keep living the dream take care see you soon
Love it guys! Great to see you both since the last visit at Maybelle's for Paddy's party! Hope you are both well and that your shop is thriving and happy! I will be back in Thailand in November later this year.
Great job on the video once again.
Chris, in my mind, it's smart to live on a budget period. 🤨
Very informative video again guys. Good to know you can still live well on a reasonable budget 🎉
Great vid guys. Well done. Great content, keep'n it real as per usual. Appreciated. 🙏
Such a beautiful couple. Super sweet kind wife man. You did good :) God bless you both!! 💕
This was great guys! Definitely enjoyed the night market and Homa for a long term stay. Good to see that mall coming back to life I remember how it was last may during COVID EMPTY lol
So awesome thank you for the video, living on prince of Wales Alaska all my life . we don't have a stop lights or a mall , we just fish hah .... you guys are making it real hard to say no to a vacation in you're wonderful island .
Great video again you 2 . I'm looking at retiring to Thailand in the new year so video's like this are useful. I will visit Phuket, but probably my base will be around pattaya. Cheers
I think living on a budget means something else for a western person, in Thailand. Compared to the locals, the western "budget" still means alot!

Exactly right. If one is prepared to throw off the shackles of a western way of life and live like a local, eat like a local and behave like a local a low budget will spread far. The budgets of sexaholics , alcoholics and western food cravers will not last long unless they have very deep pockets.
Love you guys - very authentic. I wish you the best for the future.
Maybelle your a sweet lady. Warm and caring
Hey Gentle man Good to see you videos...We met in Phuket last time 😍👍
Awesome video and love the channel. Loads of no BS information. Love it. Can't wait till I retire there!
Very informative video. Helps a lot to understand what are the prices in Phuket and in general food options 😌 thanks for sharing
You two are very cool. Great video- informative & enjoyable
Great Bargain ideas ! This video will help our Family of 6 save money when we come to phuket in December. We want to check out Maybelle's Coffee Garden and try your great BBQ and foods.
As always direct, honest no BS👍🏻
Yes true its good to figure out the lifestyle you want and can afford and then work a budget around it. And really there is a budget for every type of lifestyle you want. And the price of things can vary alot around Thailand too. But you still have to live have fun and treat yourself as well living here like you would anywhere else.
Thank you very much Richie and Maybelle for a well done informative cost of living in Phuket. My husband and I are thinking about coming to Phuket in the next few months for a long stay and this budget is similar to what we spend in Pattaya now.
Love your blog, finely two real people make videos about thialand .
So cute that Maybelle wanted to feed the dog. 😊🙏
We went to go to Naka in Feb and didn’t realise they weren’t open on a Friday night, so ended up at Chillva. It was a great little market. We shopped, ate, had a drink and bought some cute shoes.

summed it up nicely Richie at the end, you are in one of the top tourist destinations in the world, Phuket has every thing ( almost) Thailand has to offer, mountains, beaches, jungle, wildlife , walks , food , quiet, loud. I was back in LOS in July , pattaya, krabi, kanchanaburi, Ayutthaya and bkk, 3 weeks , phuket next time and will come to see you both

great vlog as always! Chillva is a great budget place. Gilette toiletries are expensive, agreed! Can live cheap in Thailand, but not as cheap as some other youtubers believe :D as a farang you need to pay for visa and health insurance. Cheaper than UK, USA, and almost all european countries for sure.
Great video. Thanks for the exchange graphics
You have an excellent voice. Great UK accent very professional, I can understand every word. Easy to listen. You should consider doing voice overs professionally. You’d be great 👍 Love your videos. You and Maybell have very good chemistry. Kept up the good work. 🙏
Thanks guys for a great in-depth video. Regards Rusty
Hiya, good to see the difference in prices. Cinema here is 6 quid a person. Just goes to show it all swings in roundabouts. Prices of food, Uk so much more. Good video. Good vibes. Happy Wednesday.
Great video Richie & Maybelle, in regards to parking at airports, most airports in the uk now charge you £5 just to use the drop off and pick up lane, absolutely a rip off especially as you’re not parking.
Your videos are always entertaining and informative. Congratulations to your successful business.

Chris this is all my expenses without the health insurance I paid last month for one year . It costs me 58 859 thb. I have a notebook where I write absolutely all my expenses. I came to live here 6 months before my retirement on oct the first with 8000 euros and started to get my pension on may this year. AS YOU SAID, I prefered to be careful. I own a Honda 500 for which the insurance is 11500 thb per year. Since 11 months I upgraded my big bike, bought a 21000 thb paddleboard and a 12000 thb carbon paddle, travelled 13700 km on my bike . But for food, room, water, electricity, sex, gasoline, internet, clothes,hair cut and all daily expenses I do not spend more than 20000thb. 76442 in july but if you remove the health insurance it is only 17583 thb

I would love to contribute to your channel , thanks very much. Oh and how far is Wichit from where You Guys live ?
Nice vid. I spend 6 months Thailand/Vietnam every year. After my condo, electrics, water scooter rent bills I got around 2000bht a day spending money. More than enough for a great life for me. Mind you, I dont go to girlybars and drink beers only at weekends. So a normal day costs me around 1200 and in weekends 2500. 70k a month is a fine number for me
that was the best blog for the coast of living that was not tobad when u look at where u r living I like cha am

Hi both, great info on your videos, will call in for lunch in the new year. Do you have recommendation for condo, 1 bed 20k or less rental in Karon as fancy a month in that area around Feb. Thanks
220 THB for 2 meals is awesome. That's like 8 Canadian Dollars. WOW! Damn cheap guys! Thanks for sharing ang keep up the great work!
I agree, 60,000 baht per month is a livable budget for most people, some can do it for less of course, and some spend much more, but as a good average, 60,000 sounds about right. I will be retiring to Thailand next year, and my budget is slightly more at 65,000 baht per month.

@Alex Arthur Because you can live within your means. Without a family you don't need a posh house or apartment, you can eat street food and only paying for 1. Thailand get expensive when you 'don't live Thai' and I hate using that phrase because most of the Thai I know are rich, drive BMW and each in expensive restaurants wear £20,000 watches. So a car is 3 times the value of Europe, is you want a BMW it's £60,000 for example. My daughter's school is 500,000B a year. £13,000. Supermarket shopping is more expensive than UK.

@@benrawson007I think if you don’t go for the overpriced luxury lifestyle it’s possible but if I go to Thailand I want to have the same or even better lifestyle than here in Europe. With a budget around 100k to 200k THB you can have a really good (western) lifestyle at least that’s my experience. I don’t buy stuff, I rent it (condos, cars…) but actually a cab is much cheaper than a luxury car, so why even buy one? I target Thailand as travel destination and later as a pension domicile. Here in Switzerland 🇨🇭 school is for free, even the university is free as long as you meet the requirements (grades). There is no reason to go to Thailand before pension. Luckily Swiss pensions are high, around 200k THB monthly is usual. Alternatively you can go to Vietnam, it’s around 30% to 40% cheaper than Thailand (for now).

Very informative thanks, a little unclear if the 60,000 baht included the accommodation as it is a guide if roughly what you spend. Do you spend 12,000 baht on accommodation?
Is jungceylon shopping centre open? I remember they had lots of different food places, all you can eat hotpot, pre covid when I visited last.
At the bar . Should have been Leo beer . That's what the adults like 🤣🤣
I am quite surprized by your "Living on a Budget video", as I don't think you are 60,000 baht every month. I believe you live within your means but enjoy what you have, we are not millionaire that will not make you happy, its about quality of life rather than quantity . My home I share with my lady which we are very happy for is 3,500 baht including light & water. we live in Jomtien a 15 minutes walk from the beach and a 100 baht ride from Pattaya center. We have everything we can ask for in our home and decorated anyway we can . We live in a Thai community, and surrounded by my ladies family. Our monthly spend is about 20,000 baht every month and there is nothing we are missing out on...
