Northern Thailand's Best Kept Secret for Expats

In this video I take a walk through the backstreets of Phon Phisai, a quiet town in Northern Thailand, right on the banks of the mighty Mekong River. I also go on a rant about perspective, comparing life here to Australia, reflecting on long-term affordability, and showing why Northern Thailand continues to grow on me. Timestamps / Highlights: 00:00 Morning coffee & town intro 05:10 Walking the Mekong River 12:30 Local life & community observations 18:00 Cost of living reflections 25:00 Final thoughts & lifestyle outlook 🌏 Real Travel.
