We Need to Talk About Thailand… (Costs, Reality & What’s Next)

Welcome back 🤍 This one has been highly requested… so we’re finally sitting down and answering all your questions about our life in Thailand. In this video, I’m sharing the real details; how much it actually costs us to live here as a family, what our budget looks like, the areas we’ve experienced (and what we’d choose again… or wouldn’t), and the practical things people don’t always talk about when they’re dreaming of moving abroad. We’re talking: – Cost of living breakdown – Koh Samui vs Hua Hin vs Chiang Mai – Healthcare, schooling, visas and everyday logistics – What surprised us – What’s been harder than expected – And the big one… what’s next for us? Because as much as Thailand has shaped this chapter of our lives, things are shifting. I’m sharing honestly where our heads are at, whether we’re staying, and what the next season of full-time travel and worldschooling might look like. This isn’t a glossy “Thailand is perfect” video. It’s a grounded, lived-it version from a British family who packed up their life and figured it out as we went. If you’re curious about moving to Thailand, slow travelling with kids, or building a life outside the traditional path this one’s for you. 👉 COME SAY HI Instagram: @lifealongsidelauren TikTok: @lifealongsidelauren If you’ve ever wondered whether Thailand is actually affordable, whether it works long-term with children, or what it really feels like once the holiday buzz wears off... I hope this gives you clarity and as always drop any more questions in the comments! 🔔 Don’t forget to like & subscribe if you want to follow what comes after Thailand… because this story isn’t finished yet.
