I’ve sent a few stories in the past and thought this experience may be of interest to some, inspired by a few of your recent videos on expats making it or not. My Thai wife and I visited our house in Thailand for 2 weeks last March (2025). To recap, construction was completed last year…
At Terminal 21, the nearest stop is about a two-minute walk away on the opposite side of Sukhumvit 18. Once the Thai Smile electric smart bus arrives, the process is straightforward: open the app, press generate QR code, and scan it when boarding. It is better to wait until the bus is in front of…

I am 22 years old and at the time of writing this, I am currently in Thailand for the first time. I felt that although it was my first time here, I was actually quite wise to everything that goes on especially with the girls. I originally traveled here as part of a group tour…
