I always say to myself that I will not cut my hair here
and I always do it again check this out guys it's [ __ ] disaster
so you want to move to Thailand you want to live here work here stay here but many
questions in your head how when is that possible well relaxed today I want to share with you my
own experience and give you 5 things or tips that you better know before moving to Thailand
oh now before we start talking about the main points I want you to ask yourself a question
why you want to move to Thailand what's the main reason and according to your answer see
what points that I will mention helps you to decide if you should really move or maybe not
of course many of you have visited Thailand explored the culture the food the mood the
lifestyle and I am sure most of you loved it that's why you want to move to Thailand as
for me I have visited Thailand first time in 2012 and yeah I had the same impression I loved it but
did I move to Thailand directly no I did not why because you have to try before you dive foreign
the most common mistake that you can do is to move to Thailand after couple of visits even
10 or 20 times those are visits Vacation Fun not the real picture my advice to you take a
long-term Visa six months or one year stay in a local area live normal daily life do
some activities not like a tourist but like a local and see if you are still excited to
move to Thailand now if you are wondering how to take a long-term Visa I will be uploading
another Vlog where I will share with you all the details that you need to know if
you want to stay in Thailand longer now let's talk about the second point foreign
as we said in the first point stay longer and be local but where to stay because location changes
everything you might think living in Bangkok is fun but can you handle that hectic busy
life crowded streets or maybe you think living in the major islands like Phuket Krabi Koh Samui
can be relaxing exotic life again after trying for long term do you think that or it might be
boring to you it's very important to know where you like to live as a local not like a tourist
unless you want to move to Thailand and Hope from one place to another that's another story
so the conclusion of the second Point know where you want to move
and live and by that life will become much easier for you in Thailand the
choices are a lot but where your mood fits best is the thing you should know
now that you have tried Thailand for a long term and chose where you want to relocate
it's time to know what's your budget many think that Thailand is cheap place to live
well the short answer is not especially the capital city Bangkok the major areas
and Islands it's not cheap as you think even if you are going to live Solo Cup Transportation
food accommodation activities and everything that you will do need a good budget of course
it's not expensive like Japan Singapore but yet still not cheap so knowing your budget
and what kind of Lifestyle you can live with that budget is so important before you move
thank you okay let's say you want to work in Thailand and you want to see what are
the options incomes and opportunities then you have to know about it before you move
why because the options are limited as foreigners those are the rules so what
are they what can you work how much money you can make matters a lot and let's say
you want to invest and make a business yet again the rules are strict and to choose a
winning field is very important unless you don't care and you have monthly good income
then you go back and check the previous point is that enough for a good life in Thailand
thank you
this point is divided into four parts which is the real Thailand
you might think you know Thailand and it could seem a paradise too but take
some time to know or study a little bit about the points that I will mention now
the culture the real Thai culture you should know about it and make some researchers
before you move to Thailand the religion that believes the Traditions many things
might surprise you or shock you especially if you have never lived in Southeast Asia
so knowing little bit about it will help you to adjust yourself better in Thailand
now you might think that you can do everything in Thailand since maybe when you were visiting
the country as a tourist that what it seems to well it's not you must know
about the rules and especially the things that you should never do in Thailand it's
not a joke and can mess everything my advice to you always stay under the lawn
and above all respect the culture religion and traditions and one more thing guys mind
your own business trust me curiosity can cause your troubles here I hope this point is clear
living in Thailand as a foreigner and not making local friends is not a good idea if
you want to know Thailand if you want to live here you have to interact and have local Thai
friends this is their country they know better and they are so friendly ready
to help to guide so imagine how much time and effort you will save if you have Thai friends
or maybe more but be careful nowhere to meet good people in order to have good
relationships what I mean people who wants to help and be friends and not the opposite
foreign
you can survive in Thailand without even speaking anytime yes but how much it will
be better and different if you speak the language I'm not saying take courses or
learn to speak Thai as locals what I mean learn the basics just like the culture as much as you
speak Thai that much you can enjoy Thailand more so take that also into consideration
foreign
here we come into two minor things that can be major things if you don't know about them
the first one is the weather yeah you love the weather the hot weather the Sun the fun and some
rain won't make any problems too well that's not the whole story the weather in Thailand
might seem nice to you when you were staying in Thailand for a short term but for long terms you
should know the seasons and the situations that could be caused by the weather I will
not go into details you can watch my Vlogs about the best and worst seasons in Thailand foreign
this might seem a nice part too but yet again the food is a big challenge if you
are not into Thai food this is Thailand and Thai food is amazing so if you love that then
it's Paradise but if you don't then the situation can little bit expensive because if you are going
to avoid Thai food and eat your own dishes then that can make your expenses very high
so before you come see if you can find a balance between Thai food and your favorite home dishes
so as a conclusion guys moving to Thailand and living here could be one of your dreams
and yes you can nothing should stop you from that but knowing some simple essential things
and training before diving can make a huge difference and one more thing I will make a
second Vlog about the legal ways rules and Visa types that will help you to stay in Thailand
without any headaches also give you some official agencies that can help you to reach your goals

things that you should know before moving to Thailand thank you for
