2 Years in Thailand and He's Done - Here's Why

Today I'm meeting Karim, a London expat who has spent the last two years living in Bangkok, Thailand. Like many people, he arrived chasing a better lifestyle and a fresh start. But now, he's packing up and leaving. In this honest interview, Karim opens the doors to his Bangkok condo, shares exactly what it costs to live in one of the city's most popular neighbourhoods, and explains why Thailand is no longer the right fit for him. We discuss rent, utilities, food, transport, healthcare, visas, banking, and the realities that many expat YouTube videos don't always cover.
