This week, I sat down with Josh from Josh on the Move to talk about why so many expats are falling out of love with Thailand. Are we seeing a tourism bubble? A full-on collapse? We break down the rising costs in Thailand, compare it to Vietnam, and dig into what’s really going on. Stick around to the end—Josh reveals how he grew his YouTube channel from under 1,000 subscribers to over 166,000 in just one year. We did a deep dive with ‪@josh.onthemove‬ to compare Phuket Thailand vs da nang Vietnam, the best affordable places to live and retire early in SE Asia, including a full monthly budget breakdown and discussion of the pros and cons of living in Phuket Thailand vs da nang Vietnam and why he left the UK and he left Australia, but he doesn't forget where he grew up or what his home country gave him.
