🌴 Dreaming of warmer days and a more relaxed pace? Meet Roshni and Louis, a British couple who swapped the hustle and bustle of the UK for the sunny vibes of Thailand—and they’re loving every moment of it!
Feeling burnt out from long work hours and a high cost of living in Rye, East Sussex, the pair packed up and moved to the beautiful city of Chiang Mai. The cramped UK lifestyle is long gone as they embrace a tropical paradise with temperatures around 30°C, friendly locals, stunning architecture, and deliciously cheap food.
Their new life is not just sun and smiles, but it’s also much lighter on the wallet! 🏝️ Their Thai rental, complete with a gym and pool, costs just £300—compared to £1,350 back home. And water bills? Only £2.76! They’re saving over £1,000 a month just on living expenses, leaving more for exploring vibrant Thai culture and mingling with the lovely locals.
From £2 takeaways to an awe-inspiring elephant sanctuary visit, the couple’s Thai move offers more than just financial benefits. “The kindness here is unmatched,” says Roshni. “If someone needs help, people stop. It’s heartwarming.” Plus, pint lovers rejoice: beer here is a mere £2! 🍻
Originally visiting for a holiday, they realised they felt safer in Thailand than the UK, especially Roshni as a woman. With a supportive ex-pat community and myriad enriching activities, they finally find time to truly enjoy life. Louis has even started working online as a fitness coach, while Roshni thrives as a content creator.
Gone are the days of rushing; now it’s about leisurely mornings with gym and swims before work. “Life begins when you finish work at 10 pm here,” Roshni beams. With a love for Thailand’s warmth and hospitality, the couple can’t imagine leaving. They’re already planning to start a family in their newfound haven. ❤️🌏
Are you ready for your own adventure? Whether it’s for peace of mind, lower living costs, or simply a change of scenery, it sounds like Thailand just might be the ticket! ✈️🌿
