Добавлен 20 ноя 2020
Hello there! We are Tony and Kendall, two adventurous souls who have recently embarked on an exciting journey. In March 2021, we left behind our comfortable lives in South Carolina, USA, and relocated to the stunning city of Chiang Mai in Thailand.
Tony has spent many years honing his craft in video and photography, specializing in weddings and real estate. Meanwhile, Kendall worked as a data analyst for a medical analytics company. However, we both yearned for something more fulfilling and exciting, so we decided to take a leap of faith and start a new chapter in our lives.
As expats, we have discovered many hidden gems in Chiang Mai and have adapted to the cultural nuances and quirks of Thailand. We share our experiences on our RUclips channel and hope to provide valuable information to others who are considering a similar move or planning a vacation to this beautiful country.
We sincerely hope that our journey will inspire you to take a leap of faith and pursue your dreams.

I'm headed to Thailand tomorrow and will be in Chiang Mai from next week Saturday for ten days. My favourite city, with or without rain. I'm hoping to move there in the next few months. Thank you for all the great information.
Have fun! 🤩
that was an excellent video !
Glad you liked it!
gracias, fue de mucha ayuda
De nada 👋
Thailand really looks like my country, Indonesia.
You channel has been so helpful with relocation info. My question is: We are interested in renting a house in Chiang Mai, but if we found something we really loved, to stay in it for many years as we are retired and dont want to move every few years. We prefer a house as we want a yard for a garden. Is it difficult to find houses to rent long term or do landlords prefer 1 year leases? Thanks.
Not difficult at all. 😊
I will be in my new home by Sunday watching the rain Tony, I love it. Good job on the video!
That's awesome, congrats!!!! You have to be really excited. And thanks.😊🇹🇭🙏🏻
# 3 is the best one!
I went in September a couple years back i remember being at phi phi island it was raining so hard at night it looked and sounded truly amazing then the next morning it was clear blue skies you never would of thought it was raining the night before everything looked so clean I was just an awe how it went from torrential rain to clear blue skies blue beaches in the matter of a few hours it was something out of a movie it really felt like i was in paradise it was truly an amazing feeling and such a sight, i wouldn't underestimate the beauty of the rain.
I made it! I enjoy these as it gives me a chance to see what is around
Planning to visit during August - any tips?
Bring an umbrella!
Yes, good advice! Always good to keep it handy because the rain came come out of nowhere really quickly.😉
My wife and I watched to the end. We really enjoy your videos! We are coming back to Chiang Mai in December with the possibility of making it our home. In your video, you mentioned you go to church there. Could I ask which church? We are going to be looking for a good church when we are there. Thank you so much for all that you do!
That's awesome! Yes, we go to Refuge Fellowship which is in the Hang Dong area, service starts at 4pm on Sundays. I am the drummer there. 😊
@@TheNarrowGate that’s actually the church we were looking at! We are full time travelers, but used to go to a Calvary Chapel in Leesburg, VA. We’re looking for a new place to call home and one of the big things for us is to find a good church, and last time we were in Chiang Mai we saw Refuge Fellowship on google but we didn’t get a chance to visit. That’s awesome that you are the drummer there! We had a feeling that Refuge is your church! We’re coming back to Chiang Mai in December. Hope to meet you there! 😊
That's wonderful!!! Hope to meet you there in December. It's a great church, I think you'll really enjoy it.😊
I am happy for people who have had good luck with Lazada, but I can confirm that they shipped us melted chocolates, and there was no positive result or return of our money. Tech support promised over and over with their scripted apologies and promises that they would resolve the issue and they did not. You are dealing with Chinese mentality. Plus, they have 9 to 5 - M-F support hours which is pretty strange for a 24 hours Internet company. Buyer beware, this is Thailand! Not to mention endless spam as reported by my girlfriend.
Just arrived and ordered some Lazada items to the hotel. Worked perfectly for essentials for my cat that I didn't travel with. Looking forward to the 'experience' of Lazada shopping in future. Thanks for the tips.
Good information as always!! 🎉😊
Thank you so very much! 😊🇹🇭🙏🏻
Im from qatar good news for my 2 cats
I really like the way you explained dog information.
Glad it was helpful! 😊🙏🏻
Sweeeet! Nwe video
Thanks!😊
We will be arriving in August for 2 weeks , we don't mind rain and went through many Gulf of Mexico seasons , (rainy season) not a problem. Awesome video ❤
That's awesome, enjoy your time while you are here. Glad you enjoyed the video!😊🇹🇭🙏🏻
Made It, fix your pants 😁
🤣😂😊
Raining in Thailand is like a blessing from heaven. Just try to avoid traffic.
Yes! Thanks for watching. 😊🇹🇭🙏🏻
I made it.
I've been chomping at the bit, waiting to get back over to Thailand since the moment I came back to America in 2020. Thus, I've spent endless hours looking at rentals online via various FB groups, etc. Something I discovered through all these past four years of scanning what's out there is that YES, rainy season is the BEST time to sign a year contract. The best month, from my research, is August. For some reason, May/June/July don't have the number of bargains in terms of square meters, location, whatever. Not sure if landlords are holding out for some reason, or if that is just the time when vacancies are highest, but August it is!
I've been riding motorcycles for 50 years, the last 25 in Los Angeles, so I was at least used to splitting lanes. Probably the best advice I got about getting used to riding in Thailand was F.I.T. Follow a Thai. Get behind a Thai on a scooter and do what they do. It works. I'm just glad motorbikes are second nature to me and I didn't have to learn how to ride at the same time. Anyhow, I arrive for good July 2nd to Chiang Mai! New home!
Good idea. And congratulations on your upcoming move to Chiang Mai! That’s coming up really soon, bet you are so excited. Safe travels. 😊🇹🇭🙏🏻
Great video , I stayed to the end and wanted to watch more . My 2 favorite things, motorcyles and Chaing Mai watching you form Detroit Michigan
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for all the great info! It’s really been helpful for making plans. I will be In Chang Mai on July 4th to do some exploring. Looking forward to my visit with or without the rain.
Thanks for watching. Glad it was helpful! And safe travels to CM. 😊🙏🏻🇹🇭
Great content
Thank you. 😊 🙏🏻
Thanks for the informative video Tony, I'm heading to Hua Hin in August, and the video will help me plan my trip. Keep up the good work
I have been there but only a couple days - I hope you enjoy
Have a fun trip! 😊🇹🇭🙏🏻
@@TheNarrowGate , Thanks
I absolutely love the rain. I'd rather go to Thailand just for that.
The rain is awesome! 😊🇹🇭🙏🏻
Made it! Do you ride in the rain?
Not usually on purpose, but it does happen. 🤣
Hi Tony, it’s matt from Hawaii. I made it to the end. Great video.
Hey, thanks! Hope you are doing well & still enjoying CM! 😊🙏🏻🇹🇭
I don’t understand what this race to the bottom is. Why would anyone want to live on a $1,000 a month? It’s peasantry
Hi Tony. I have an off topic question. How do you deal with the possibility of being summoned for jury duty while living in Thailand? How would you even know if you are summoned? I’ve asked other American RUclipsrs living in Thailand but no one seems to have a clear answer. Thank you.
We have researched it a little and we decided if we get called for it, we have to surrender our drivers license to get out of it. I can always use my Thai drivers license to rent a car in the USA.
I'm coming in the end of August until end September, what's the best area to chill in? Apparently the Least rain area,, i read is samui ... Dont need a beach, . Just wana .motorbike around in chilled areas.
Any area that time of year. Not too many tourists.
Made it! More riding videos please 🙏
Thank you, will do! 😊🇹🇭🙏🏻
I hate foreigners who use their mother tongue here get angry to locals when they dont understand their language. Remember that your country is dramastically neuteal to foreigners.
I made it!! Do more of these. Thanks 😊
Great! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!!! 😊🇹🇭🙏🏻
I always make it man.
I really appreciate it!
Made it , thanks for the ride
Awesome Thank you very much!
I made it 😁
