Thanks to all subscribers that are updating in my comments, people have told me this is helpful for them. Im doing these updates as i go on the road so excuse the editing, i hope they are also helpful to people. For anyone asking about the christmas party i have spoken about this at the end of the vlog so you can get the update there. We intend to update regulary througout this like we did last time. Our main concern being away is the animals but they are safe for now.

FAQ

1. Why I use the word “expat”
In Thailand, foreigners are stamped “Non-Immigrant” in their passport. That means you must check in every 90 days, can’t work in jobs reserved for Thais, can’t own land, and can be deported (and banned for 5–10 years) if caught working without a permit. So while I’d love to call myself an immigrant, legally we’re not — hence the word expat.

2. What I do for a living
I run a health foods company here in Thailand and have a work permit that covers all YouTube activities. I’ve paid tax in Thailand for over 10 years — through my own companies (an English school and a jazz lounge), as well as during my career in the 5-star hotel industry (Anantara). And yes — I speak Thai.

3. Can foreigners own land in Thailand?
No. But a superficies agreement allows you to control the land for 30+ years, and houses here are relatively affordable (1–2 million THB). If you have children, owning a home is essential for their security. Still, it’s smart to keep around 80% of your net worth in high-performance assets (like BTC) outside Thailand.

4. About my wife
We’ve been together 12 years of my 15+ years in Thailand. She’s a finance graduate, hardworking, traditional, and loyal — she earned more and owned more property than me when we met, and she’s stood by me through both success and struggle.

5. Patreon & Memberships
All Patreon and channel membership income goes directly to supporting our Thai extended family — for food, school supplies, and household needs.
