Farming in rural Thailand as a foreigner is brutal and also rewarding…

Life in Thailand after leaving the UK.
Join me on my Thailand adventure as I attempt to create a fruit farm on five acres of land, build a house, dig a well for my own water source and install solar panels to become completely off grid!
Watch me generally fumble my way through every process, trying to keep positive and upbeat throughout 🧘‍♂️

    I love Thailand from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦❤️🇹🇭
  • That's the best move you can do 👍I did it also last September and came to Thailand with just hand luggage but with a lot of positivity and curiosity. Weather, cost of living, people's positivity, and life partner. Good reasons to make big changes in your life, leave your home country and live in Thailand.

    Ive sed it before, what a wonderful peaceful life Ben, bit more eventful in and around the village, a bag of frogs 200 bht !! Whenever i see baby frogs which the locals make into a soup i buy them all up and release them into the nearest pond...wife never too happy with that!! and dont for christ sake let her mother know.. Whenever we get big big rain the locals are out gathering up the frogs by torchlight, considered a delicasy round here. Cheers..
  • I hope you succeed long term. Most guys who have tried this don't. Good luck.

    I’m planning on leaving Japan (non-Japanese) and starting over in Thailand in the next three years. The video and comments are very encouraging, thank you everyone
  • In Thailand, having enough money is important for a comfortable life. With around 1,000 euros per month (36,000 Thai baht), you can live adequately. However, with 1,500 euros per month (54,000 Thai baht), you can enjoy a more comfortable lifestyle. And if you have 2,000+ euros per month (72,000-100,000 Thai baht), you'll be able to live like a king.🎉❤
  • We are back in Texas after being our property in Thailand and your videos keep me excited about our next trip back. Thanks again for the videos mate!
  • @SABAI15
    I'm thoroughly enjoying seeing your farm grow. Great work mate.

    Som tam with Boo kem or salt crab is one of my favorite dishes in Thailand. I about cried when I saw hard green mangos growing on your farm. I so love them with salt, sugar, and pepper. I could go on and on about all the things I miss. Right now my wife is in no big hurry to return to Thailand due to the political situation. Happy life to you and Anna.
  • @stevens8785
    Good on you. Wishing you and family a happy life ahead. Ryan of channel 'Life in Bamboo - Thailand' did the same. You may well be familiar with he and his rural property in Buriram. Interesting guy.

    Thailand is an incredible place! I love every day here. 🇹🇭

    Looking at your rice planted to mitigate soil erosion, I just got 10,000 free, Lemon grass plants. Lemon grass, so my GF's mother says, is excellent for the prevention of soil erosion, with the added benefit of the Mossies hate it!!! Just a thought if you have more to plant. The plants were free from the Government as my GF's mother is a registered farmer. Looking good mate

    That Thai dessert is Banana, Coconut and red bean. That's probably what you thought the Pork was😅 My Wife eats them a lot. They are quite delicious aren't they?
  • @Thainab2
    I think i speak for many of us, we are jealus. We want the same lifestyle as you but the hard part is to find a honest, loyal and trustworty Thai lady. I been traveling to Thailand for the last 15 years and still to find that lady ( im not a bar guy) Good luck to you and hope all will be what you wish for in the end. Enjoying your content <3
