I drove around Beung Kan. Saw 2 farangs. Travel is travel. Videos are just ideas. Im not captain cook. Not discovering new places.
2 week millionaires might spend 5000 to 10,000 baht a day.
I spend 1500 to 3000 baht a day. I have a gf. I speak Thai. I can go to any village and talk to people unless they dont know Thai. Isaan folks speak Thai, Isaan and limited English. They all said my Thai was good.
Enjoy the 1 to 7 years. Best love stage. After that it gets more real.
Happiness is an illusion. Same as love and success. Think you are happy you are. Think you arent happy you arent.
How does life work? You do your best. You enjoy each day. You be kind to others. Thats all life is. Football coaches sum up life. 1 week at a time. You have no real control over 3 months time. Next 1 to 7 days is where life is. Do something today to make life better tomorrow whilst enjoying the day. Learn something this week that makes bext week better. After that it's up to the universe or god.

You sound like a dreamer. Life changes every 5 years.
If she is only 28 and you been together 3 years you have no idea about 10 years time let alone 30.
Your relationship isnt even past the 10 year stage.
Have you been together 3 years yet?
You cook better Gaeng Hang Lay than a restaurant? I dont think so. Ive eaten home cooked thats good. Lots of cleaning up. Overrated in Thailand.
When meals are 50 to 120 baht no point cooking. Thats restaurants not cart food.
Owning 1 home makes sense if want own furniture but 4 be a hassle.
I would just own one. Likely the north. Ok but still cheap.
7/11s are great. Dont like bars.
Sitting on a river in your own place be ok. Dont need 4 though.
In 30 years if still alive the woman be 30 years older. Maybe you dont like each other anymore. Maybe you want a 34yo woman not a 64yo woman.
Maybe you dead. Maybe you want to live elsewhere.
Really cant plan 30 years ahead.
If visas were more easy id pick 3 spots pay 7,000 baht a month. 4 mths a year in each. Nice variety. Bkk, krabi, cm. Serviced place they change sheets n towels, fix problems.
