一夜之间穿越到美国羚羊谷，为什么越来越多华人放弃美国跑到泰国生活？理由竟然是在泰国不赚钱也能活的很好！｜有人在美国拼命十多年，有人却在泰国发现另一种人生

我靠羚羊谷吗这是 这真的是个羚羊谷哎 怎么做出来的 哇这 我说我在美国羚羊谷你们信吗 肯定信的是吧 后面很大很大很大 你有看到那个羚羊谷吗 那你走到底 走到底 左转的吓你一跳 喏呵呵呵 是不是跟美国羚羊谷一模一样的 真的是一模一样的啊 哎哎 那里还有人在拍照呢 他可能那个角度特别好看吧 完全的一个科幻风 泰国人这真的蛮想得出来的哦 咖啡来了 真的蛮想得出来的 他们啊泰国人的脑洞是大 是吧我一直就在说 泰国人的脑洞是真大 你到清迈来 是各种款式的咖啡馆你都能看到 怎么样的都有 田园风啊 科幻风啊 什么破楼风啊 什么风都有 妞妞还点了一份火星牛排 火星上火星上的牛 是吧火牛 辣不辣的 不辣给我给我 给我尝一块 我也要尝一块 这是什么酱 我不知道 反正蛮好吃的 旁边有嗯 芥末 哇 这个酱有点咸了 而且有点蒜香味的 火星上的牛啊 真的 因为火星上面它地质很恶劣 草不太长得出来

所以这种消费对于泰国人来说 也也也也也都是他们日常的一个消费 不是像很多人在那里 想象当中好像泰国人很穷啊 什么这种咖啡馆 他开了就不是对着游客的 就是针对那个泰国本地人的 所以在泰国有很多很多的咖啡馆 并不是都是外国人在消费 大部分都是泰国本地人在消费 然后消费也差不多 这一家的这个价格 就是一个正常价格 差不多就是那么个价格 啊给妞妞送去上雅思课了 又没事干了 呵呵然后再来找个咖啡馆坐坐 又到这家咖啡做的很漂亮的 这个咖啡馆 然后就是这个咖啡师 这个咖啡师做咖啡可漂亮可漂亮 我的JB今天给我做了一条龙 很漂亮啊 咖啡馆里也很多很多人 所以像在泰国这边 我们就在说嘛 他们的这个收入 我总觉得 他们的收入和我们所理解的不一样 你说我看来看去嘛 你说他们的收入高嘛 肯定不高 但是低嘛 肯定也没有说像大家想的那么低哦 一般来说 我觉得四五千人民币一个月 总是大概有的 我觉得你起码像曼谷的话肯定挺高的 现在在清迈这边 我觉得可能 3,5004,000人民币 算下来可能会有的 但是他们的消费观跟我们不一样 他们赚的这点钱 日常就是都会去把它消费掉 跟我们不一样 我们中国人的这个消费观 比如说我一个月有3,000块钱 我赚 4,000块钱 我们总是想着我们把它收入不高嘛 就把它合理的分配 对吧那那能留下一点吗 那最好那如果留不下的话呢 我们也不会去说高消费 我们当然了咖啡也不能算高消费 但是在我们的理解当中 就你除了日常的吃饭呀 住呀水电呀 你这身七七八八的 日常生活的开销掉了 都算高消费 如果说 你一个月只有 3000 块钱收入的话 那这种应该都算高消费的 但这对于泰国人来不是 泰国人他一个月赚三四千块钱的话 那像咖啡馆啊 像日常我们去的那种很多的餐厅啊 什么他们都会去消费 他们没有好像存钱的概念 这个倒是 我碰到好多的泰国人都是这个感觉 而且永远觉得钱不够用 因为他们特别会花钱 不像我们会有省钱的概念 他们不会省的 该花的地方就是得花 我之前跟兰姐在那里聊 兰姐她不是做旅游啊 这么这一块内容的吗 她就说 泰国人就真正真正的泰国人出去旅游 海外游其实很多的 这个倒我也相信 因为我们不管到哪里去旅游 我在伊朗 甚至我们在巴基斯坦的边境的 一个叫轰撒的 一个很小的山村里 我都碰到泰国人 他们会去旅游 而且兰姐她说他们喜欢到日本去玩 那么我说日本其实消费蛮高的呀 对泰国人来说 他说他们就喜欢报那种购物团呀 就是很便宜很便宜的团呀 你只要便宜他们都要去的 对于住啊 对于吃啊 他们要求其实不高的 但是他们就是想去玩 哎然后购物嘛 反正到那个地方也是跟我们一样 有的人嘛就呱啦呱啦买 有的人嘛就不买 反正就是薅羊毛 哎但是你只要购物团便宜了 他们都要去的 所以全球各地到处都是泰国人在旅游 我们之前是不知道 但后来因为在泰国待久了 他们在那里聊天 能听懂他们在说泰国话了吗 所以就知道啊这个是泰国人啊 所以到外面以后就碰到好多泰国人 包括我们 在美国1号公路从旧金山一路开 开到洛杉矶 那个路上我碰到好几波泰国人 哪里都会碰到的 真的是真的 泰国人也蛮爱玩的 所以他们对于消费的这个观念 呃反正跟我们还是差别蛮大的 所以你到这种咖啡馆 到中餐厅 到这种消费场所里去 基本上能看到泰国人的 这种日常的一种消费 刚刚在在说这个 什么泰国人的消费观啊什么的 忽然Andy来了 哎正好可以跟Andy也聊聊 Andy美国人啊 现在就是以前中国人 后来是入了美国籍啊 然后再然后再出口转内销 然后在美国生活了多少年啊 美国从06年到算22年呗 那十多年 呃 20多年 然后呢就选择到泰国来生活的 然后娶了一个泰国太太 还生了两个孩子 对吧所以他比我要了解泰国人 我身边我除了除了阿姨算是个泰国人 其他泰国人接触的比较少 跟正好跟那个Andy聊聊 哈喽大家好 又见面了 哈哈哈 哎 你是为什么从美国跑到泰国来生活的 是怎么想的 我那时候就觉得可能也 是疫情的原因吧 然后这个生意上啊 也都开始慢慢就降下来了 嗯然后一想呢 也没有什么太多的事情 再加上呢 尤其是父啊 我父亲就是因为脑梗需要人照顾 然后我回国还特别麻烦 我想一想 那找一个折中一点的地方 我又比较喜欢的 然后再加上这个 又能照顾到父母 把他们接过来这样 父母是在国内 那个时候在国内吗 疫情疫情的时候 正好赶上他又要需要人照顾 然后正好又看您那个视频 看我视频 对 嘿嘿嘿我说哎呦 其实在泰国生活可能也挺好的吧 这样的话呢 可能经济上就是没有那么大的压力 然后又能兼顾到父母 对吧所以说 就就就一想呢 到这个泰国来生活 哎那你 你到泰国来以后 你觉得泰国和美国生活 最大的区别在哪里 最大的区别在这面呢 就是我什么也不用干呢 也不用想着这个要明天的吃饭 怎么办啊 呃就是经济上压力没有那么大 然后再加上呢 就说实话 这个人文环境 我觉得泰国要比美国好一些 就至少呢 我不用担心这个 我车停在哪 哎呦我车锁没锁 就哪怕你锁了 是不是有人砸你车呀 在清迈是不会发生这种情况的 在美国很普遍吗 在美国反正大家都很害怕 就你车是被砸呀 或者停在哪里 哪怕是比较好的区域也会担心啊 我但就每个人都说美国很乱哈 但我生活这么算 16十七八年在美国我没有被抢过 嗯然后呢 但是我车子确实被砸过一次 呵呵呵 对损失 损失损失了 那保险赔吗 什么也没有 东这车里面什么也没有 保险赔吗 保险你砸了吗 窗子肯定砸破了呀 对砸破了 那你保险还要deductible呢 就是我那个保险 买的时候我记得应该是 500 美元吧 就 500 美元以上他才会包的 500美元以内就不 不赔 我那个玻璃450 哈哈哈所以他保险一分没赔 对自己亏了450 对自己亏了450 所以说以后呢 在美国的时候我车基本都不锁 然后我不放东西 我的意思就是你拉了门你拉 拉开了你翻一翻东西 里面什么也没有 也无所谓了 免得损坏玻璃 免得砸我的窗子 但是你在在泰国就完全没 我就不用担心这个事情啊 刚才我在那里说嘛 我前面也去了一家咖啡馆 然后又到这家咖啡馆来 我就看这个他们泰国人那个消费观 因为我觉得是因为他们的收入 打个比方说什么15,000啊 2万泰铢啊 可能对于人民币来说 可能也就三四千块钱 对但是呢 他们的咖啡馆 基本上都很多都是泰国人自己在消费 对那么他们的这个消费观 你从你老婆身上去理解 他们这个消费观是为什么会这样 我以前也不理解 我说哎呦挣这么点钱 天天的这么花你够吗 后来其实在这边待时间长了我才知道 呃泰国人呢 他真的不用太担心存钱 因为呢你哪稍微有个正式工作的 呃你医疗保险这个是政府提供 就是说白了也没有什么保险 你也不用钱就去医院去看病了 尤其像清迈这 个地方它的医疗水平还挺高的 就清迈清迈大学医院 就类似于这样的公立医院 对基本上是不花钱的 你去看病然后呢 孩子上学也不花钱 呃你唯一还是真的是唯一花钱的 可能就是这个校服啊 你买一买 然后呢呃 中午还管午餐 你在美国话管午餐 还得是低收入管午餐 你在这面就所有的学生都管午餐 而且还有牛奶啊 就我就觉得哎呦 这个地方真的就福利啊 各方面虽然说你看满街电线啊 然后它基础设施又很差 我们以为很穷的一个国家 但是其实它人民的这个心里面 还是很有安全感的 这个社会在这个社会上面 然后再加上它又是个佛教国家 你哪怕真的是没饭吃了对吧 我到寺庙里也有一口粥吃啊 也对在疫情期间我们就碰到很多 疫情期间你也在这吗 疫情期间我是末 对就疫情最难的时候是 反正家里有余粮的 他们就会搬到街上来给穷人吃啊 对对对对对对 就这样他们会这样对对对 所以说这一点 我觉得泰国人其实是挺好的 嗯就这个国家相对来 那哪呢我觉得乱的都有 但是呢我们说大多数吧 就这个基数 对这个国家来讲 尤其清迈 其他地方不是特别了解哈 我就觉得清迈人还是就是老百姓 还是挺善良的 那么像他们这点收入 就比如说我在想就我们国内的收入啊 嗯国内的收入 我觉得应该来说 有很大一部分会去付房贷 那么泰国人吃光喝光这么一个状态 那他怎么 买房不是他地 人家地是自己的 那也得买啊 你买了你不是买就自己 自己盖一个就完了 盖也要钱呐 那盖才花几个钱 10万20万人民币足够了啊 那他们这个钱怎么来呢贷款 10万20万啊 我觉得他们10万20万都省不下来 那相当于有50万100万泰铢啊 不贷款是肯定 就是绝大部分泰国人都会有贷款 尤其是你要是再有正式工作的 他一定会有贷款的 就绝大多数啊 现在你老婆是公务员了 对啊那像他这样贷款就很容易 基本上我老婆她跟我说的啊 就泰国上 她认识所有的就她的同事都有贷款啊 每个人都有贷款 而且呢她公务员贷的还可以 贷的很多啊 因为她是有稳定工作的 所以银行就愿意给她贷啊 像他们 那你看像在后面的那种维修工人 像这种的话收入不知道多少 这种可能都算是公家单位了吧 对电力局啊 这全都是属类似于公务员了 那方便问吗 像你老婆这种公务员的 他们的收入大概能到多少 他呃将近5,0005,000多人民币吧 25,00025,000多一点 25,000泰铢对 那么有5,000多人民币 对 5,000多人民币啊 那就生活也不算低 嗯你生活他是肯定够了 就是咱们说喝杯咖啡啊 这些一定会没问题 那你老婆会存钱吗 花完完全不存 一分钱也不会存下来 全花完是吧 那他像家里的那个 比如说水电啊什么他他管吗 那这都全是我付啊 都你付啊 对啊那他钱花哪去了呢 就你也不知道啊 反正就吃吃吃吃喝喝 他他会买 比如说那个我们出去吃个饭啊 然后买衣服啊 然后自己乱七八糟的就这些东西 你就会去花 对你存不下来的 存不下钱的人 他的钱你绝对不会知道 他这钱花在哪去了 他连他自己都不知道的钱花在哪去了 然后会网购吗 购那你不网 网购就到剁手 那样的你也也要买哈哈哈 所以他这种就是属于很普遍 很普遍的一个情况 我觉得是很普遍很 但是其实他妹妹很好 就是他还有一妹妹 他妹妹就很会赚钱 然后也会存钱 就还是人和人不一样 那你老婆有华人血统吗 没有没有 他纯粹泰国人 对他就纯粹泰国人啊 所以华人可能还会考虑存存钱 对我觉得华人到哪都会考虑存钱 咱们说你像 无论印度华人 这是东南亚的哈 印度的马来西亚的 这些华人其实过得都蛮蛮好的 就是咱们说大概率来讲啊 华人都还是第一是勤劳 第二又能存钱 哎那美国呢 美国他们美国人存钱吗 美国华人吗 还是就普通普通美国人 普通美国人也不存钱 也不存钱 也不存钱啊 你说你像 如果真是在美国 呃就普通人哈 不说华人 就是白人 你让他拿出来个两三万美元 太少太少 太少就基本都拿不出来 基本上都拿不出来 你现金啊 我说你才才两三万美元 资产不算啊 对资产不算 就现金啊这太少 太少都是吃完花完 对 所以我觉得可能就咱们华人在存钱吧 我觉得 全世界可能就咱们华人在存钱吧 嗯对 因为你说华人如 果说出在呃 身在异国他乡的时候呢 他确实有个危机感 那万一有一天怎么怎么样的 我不行了 不对呀在国内也存钱啊 每个人我觉得 你说那同样的按照来说啊 我们不是不去折换汇率 就是按当地的钱来说 你说像我们拿出个一两万人民币 那那哪一家拿不出来 多多少少会存一点这个钱的呀 我觉得呢 是因为咱们还没有说 就像泰国也是 泰国其实富了很长时间 对吧 你像30年前泰国要比中国还要富啊 那是很富的 对对啊 所以说他们的社会一直相对来讲 是比较稳定的 我们富呢 也就就三四十年刚刚开始 三四十年都没有 对 三四十年都没有事了吧 对而且尤其是父母那一代 更想着存钱 所以说我们一直有 这个就危机感就比较强 呃在国内也有危机感 然后更别说在海外的华人了 危机感算更强的 就我们说 就普普通通的这种老百姓啊 并不是大富大贵的 这这一类的人群 呃对吧 哎过去一个小和尚啊 这个刚出家的 他那个眉毛都是刮掉的 这个穿鞋的哈哈哈 哎这个穿鞋他们很多啊 泰国和尚都鞋都不穿 所以在泰国这边 你实在没饭吃了 去做和尚也可以 对他们要你收都收 行了那跟Andy也聊了 聊了差不多牛牛也放学了 我们要差不多去接他了啊 那今天内容就先到这里 我们下期见 After you came to Thailand, What do you think is the biggest difference what’s the biggest difference? The biggest difference is here. is that I don’t have to do anything and I don’t have to worry about or what to eat tomorrow. The economic pressure is not that great. On weekends, my son is off, so I take him to have a walk. After entering high school, his studies became more intense. I can’t let him stop learning the piano, right? He still learns piano. And then I have to learn IELTS. Anyway, there are many things. There are many things to learn. It’s rare to have a day off, So I took him out for a walk. I’ve never been to the ancient city before. This one is called Mars Coffee. It seems like it’s very, very cool. Yes. Let’s have a cup of sci-fi coffee today. Let’s start pulling. Ha ha ha. Wow, It’s beautiful. It’s really. It’s very deep inside. Really. Wow. Wow. This is the moon. I’ve never been to such a cafe. Wow. It’s still smoking. Oh. First time. There’s more behind. There’s more behind. This place is also very sci-fi. Oh, a sci-fi style toilet is a Male or female? Bears, aliens can all come. It’s so big inside. It’s so big inside. Oh my god. Oh my god, it’s so big. There’s smoke everywhere. We don’t even know if there’s water on Mars. There’s even moss growing here already. It looks like there’s a botanical garden outside. Look, look, look. 我 There are so many weird cafes in Chiang Mai. Oh, here it is. No, no. A botanical garden. and there’s a tree behind it. This one. This cafe is interesting. And it’s located right next to the old city. There’s more behind. There’s even an elevator. This way is blocked. I’m going to get lost here. Getting lost on Mars It’s terrifying. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. There are crystals. Thais really have a big imagination. They always come up with all kinds of things. Is this the Antelope Canyon? This is really a Antelope Canyon. How did they make it? Wow. Do you believe me when I say I’m in the American Antelope Canyon? Of course you would. It’s very big behind. Have you seen that Antelope Canyon? Go to the end. Go to the end. Turn left and you’ll be scared. Look, hehe. Isn’t it exactly the same as the American Antelope Canyon? It’s exactly the same. Hey, hey. There are people taking photos over there. Maybe that angle is particularly beautiful. It’s a completely sci-fi style. Thais are really imaginative. Here comes the coffee. They are really imaginative. Thai people have a big imagination, right? I’ve been saying that Thais have a really big imagination. When you come to Chiang Mai, you can see all kinds of cafes. There are all kinds of styles. rural style, sci-fi style, or even a broken building style. and all kinds of styles. Niu Niu also ordered a Martian steak. Cow from Mars, right? Hot beef. Right. Give me. Give me a taste. I want to try it too. What kind of sauce is this? I don’t know. It tastes good. There’s mustard next to it. Yes. Wow! This sauce is a bit salty. and it has a garlic flavor. The beef on Mars. Really. because the geology on Mars is very harsh, the grass doesn’t grow very well. So this kind of cattle eats this very rare grass. so its meat is particularly tender. OK. You must try Martian beef next time. We’re done. Three cups of coffee cost two hundred and seventy. Seven times twenty-three. twenty-four. Three times nine is twenty-seven. OK, thank you. Ninety baht per cup. A steak costs three hundred and sixty baht. and a croissant for eighty-five baht. There’s a cow drink for one hundred and twenty. And also and a pudding for eighty. It’s nine hundred and fifteen, which is equivalent to two hundred yuan. And then we were in that place. Basically, this cafe is full of Thais. I didn’t see any foreigners. So this kind of consumption for Thais is also a daily consumption for them. Not like many people there as many people imagine that Thais are poor. and this kind of cafe are not opened for tourists, but for the local Thais. So there are many cafes in Thailand, not all foreigners consume there. Most of the customers are local Thais. And the consumption is similar. The price of this one is a normal price. It’s about the same price. I sent Niu Niu to take IELTS class. and have nothing to do. Then I came to this coffee shop to sit. I came to this coffee shop with beautiful coffee. This coffee shop and this barista. This barista makes coffee very beautifully. My JB made me a dragon today. It’s beautiful. There are many people in the cafe. So in Thailand, we are talking about their income. I always think that their income is different from what we think. You know, I’ve been observing. You say their income is high, definitely not high. But if it’s low, It’s definitely not as low as everyone thinks. Generally speaking, I think four or five thousand yuan per month is always about there. I think it must be quite high in Bangkok. Now in Chiang Mai, I think maybe three or four thousand yuan might be possible. But their consumption concept is different from ours. The money they earn they will spend it on daily consumption. It’s different from us. our Chinese consumption concept is that For example, if I earn three thousand yuan a month, and I earn four thousand yuan. We always think that since our income is not high, so we will allocate it reasonably, Right, can we save some? It’s best if we can save some. we won’t engage in high consumption. Of course, coffee is not a high consumption. But in our understanding, except for daily meals, housing, water, and electricity, your daily expenses after paying for daily expenses, it’s all high consumption. If you only earn three thousand yuan a month, then this should be considered high consumption. But for Thais, it’s not. If a Thai earns three or four thousand yuan a month, they can go to cafes and the many restaurants we go to every day, they will consume there. They don’t seem to have the concept of saving money. This is the case. I’ve met many Thais who feel the same way. and they always feel that money is not enough. Because they are very good at spending money. unlike us who have the concept of saving money. They don’t save money. They will spend money where it should be spent. I was chatting with Sister Lan before. Sister Lan is in the tourism business. for tourism. She said Thais, real Thais, go on overseas trips. they travel overseas a lot. I believe that. Because wherever we travel, When I was in Iran, even at the border of Pakistan, a small mountain village called Honsha, a small mountain village, I have met Thais. they will travel. And Sister Lan said they like to travel to Japan. I said that Japan is actually quite expensive. For Thais, they like to join shopping groups. which is a very cheap group tour. As long as it’s cheap, they will go. For accommodation, or food, they don’t have high requirements. But they just want to play. Anyway, they just want to save money. Anyway, they are the same as us when they go there. Some people just buy things, while others don’t. Anyway, they just want to get a bargain. But as long as the shopping tour is cheap, they will all go. So there are Thais traveling everywhere in the world. We didn’t know before. But later, because we stayed in Thailand for a long time, They were chatting there. Can you understand what they are saying in Thai? So we knew they were Thais. So when we went out, we met many Thais. including us. On the US Route One from San Francisco to Los Angeles, to Los Angeles. I met several groups of Thais on the road. You can meet them everywhere. It’s true. Thai people are also quite playful. So their concept of consumption is quite different from ours anyway. So when you go to cafes, to Chinese restaurants, or other consumption places, you can basically see Thai people their daily consumption. Just now we were talking about the consumption concept of Thais. Suddenly Andy came. I can talk to Andy about it. Andy is an American. He used to be Chinese, and then he became a US citizen. Then he exported to China and then sold it in China. How many years has he lived in the US? From two thousand and six to two thousand and twenty-two. More than ten years. Uh, more than twenty years. Then he chose to live in Thailand. and married a Thai wife. and had two children. So he knows more about Thais than I do. I have an aunt who is Thai, and I don’t know many Thais. I have little contact with Thais. I happened to talk to Andy. Hello everyone. Nice to see you again. Ha ha ha. Hey, Why did you come to live in Thailand from America? what did you think? At that time, I thought maybe the pandemic. And then my business began to decline gradually. And then I thought there wasn’t much to do. and take care of them. especially my father. my father needed someone to take care of him and it was very troublesome for me to return to China. I thought find a place that is a compromise. that I like. And then I can and I can take care of my parents. and bring them here. My parents were in China. Were they in China at that time? During the pandemic, and they needed someone to take care of them. And then I happened to watch your video. and watched my video. Yes. I said, oh, maybe living in Thailand might be good. In this way, there may be less financial pressure. and I can take care of my parents. Right? So, So, I thought living in Thailand. So, after you come to Thailand, what do you think is the biggest difference what’s the biggest difference? The biggest difference is that I don’t have to do anything I don’t have to worry about what to eat tomorrow. what to do? The economic pressure is not that great. And then, To be honest, the humanistic environment, I think Thailand is better than the US. At least, I don’t have to worry about where I park my car. Oh, did I lock my car? Even if you lock it, will someone smash your car? This won’t happen in Chiang Mai. Is it common in the US? In America, everyone is afraid. If your car is smashed, or where you park it, Even in a better area, you will be worried. Everyone says America is a chaotic place, But in my life, I haven’t been robbed in the US for sixteen or seventeen years. Well, But my car was smashed once. Ha ha ha. Yes, the loss. I lost something. Will insurance cover it? Nothing. There was nothing in the car. Will insurance cover it? Did you smash the window? The window must have been smashed. It’s not covered. You still have to pay deductible. It’s my insurance. I remember it was five hundred dollars. It will only cover more than five hundred dollars. Within five hundred dollars, No. My glass was four hundred and fifty. So my insurance didn’t pay a penny. I lost four hundred. I lost four hundred and fifty dollars. So in the future, I don’t lock my car when I’m in America. and I don’t put anything in it. I mean, you open the door, you open the door and look inside, and there’s nothing inside. It doesn’t matter. to avoid damaging the glass or smashing my window. But in Thailand, it’s completely unnecessary. I don’t have to worry about this. I just said that I went to a cafe before, and then came to this cafe. I observed their consumption concept. Because I think it’s because of their income. For example, fifteen thousand baht twenty thousand baht, which may be only three or four thousand yuan maybe only three or four thousand yuan. However, their cafes are basically consumed by Thais themselves. So their consumption concept you can understand it from your wife. why they have such a consumption concept. I didn’t understand it before. I said, oh, with such little money, spending money like this every day, is it enough? Later, after staying here for a long time, I realized that Thais don’t need to worry too much about saving money. Because if you have a formal job, because the government provides medical insurance. which is to say, there is no insurance. You can go to the hospital without paying. Especially in Chiang Mai, has a relatively high level of medical care. Chiang Mai University Hospital, is similar to this kind of public hospital. Basically, it’s free. You go to see a doctor, and then and your children’s education is free. The only thing you need to spend money on is maybe it’s the school uniform. you need to buy it. and then, They also provide lunch. In America, it’s called lunch. Only low-income families get free lunches. Here, all students are provided with lunch. And there’s milk. I think this place is really welfare. Although there are wires everywhere, and the infrastructure is poor. We thought it was a very poor country, but in fact, in the hearts of the people, people still feel very safe. In this society, and it’s a Buddhist country, Even if you really have no food to eat, I can get a bowl of porridge in the temple. During the pandemic, we met many people Were you here during the pandemic? I was at the end of the epidemic. During the hardest time of the pandemic, Those who have enough food they would move to the street to feed the poor. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. That’s how they do it, yes, yes, yes. So in this regard, I think Thais are actually quite nice. In this country, I think there are chaos everywhere. But for the majority, the base number. for this country, especially Chiang Mai. I don’t know much about other places. I think the people in Chiang Mai, as ordinary people, are quite kind. With their income, For example, I think about the income in our country. In China, I think that a large part of it will be used to pay mortgages. But Thais live a life of eating and drinking. So how do they They don’t own the land. but the land is their own. They still have to buy. You buy it, not just for yourself. You can build one yourself. It costs money. Building a house doesn’t cost much. One hundred thousand to two hundred thousand yuan is enough. How do they get the money? By loan. One hundred thousand or two hundred thousand yuan. I don’t think they can save one hundred thousand baht. That’s equivalent to five hundred thousand or one million baht. They will definitely borrow money. Most Thais will have loans. Especially if you have a formal job, they will definitely have loans. Most of them. Now your wife is a civil servant. Yes, it’s easy for her to get a loan. Basically, my wife told me that In Thailand, all her colleagues have loans. Everyone has a loan. And her loan as a civil servant is good. a lot of money. Because she has a stable job, so the bank is willing to lend her money. Like them. Look at the maintenance workers behind. I don’t know how much they earn. They may be considered public institutions, right? like the power bureau. They are all similar to civil servants. May I ask? For a civil servant like your wife, how much their income is? It’s about five thousand yuan. Twenty-five thousand, a little more. Twenty-five thousand baht. So it’s more than five thousand yuan. Yes, more than five thousand yuan. That’s not a low income. It’s definitely enough for her life. For example, having a cup of coffee it’s definitely enough for you. Does your wife save money? She doesn’t save at all. She doesn’t save a penny. She spends it all, right? Does she take care of like water, electricity, and other bills? I pay for all of them. All by you? I don’t know where she spends the money. You don’t know. Just eating, drinking, and having fun. He will buy. For example, when we go out to eat, and buy clothes, and all kinds of other things. You will spend it. People who can’t save money People who can’t save money You will never know where his money goes. where the money is spent. He doesn’t even know where the money went. Do you shop online? If you don’t shop online, You’ll spend money on online shopping. You will buy it even if you don’t have money. So this kind of situation is very common. a very common situation. I think it’s very common. But actually, his sister is very good. He has a sister. His sister is good at making money and also save money. It’s just that people are different. Does your wife have Chinese blood? No, no. She is purely Thai. Yes, he is purely Thai. So Chinese people may consider saving money. I think Chinese people will consider saving money everywhere. Let’s say whether it’s Chinese in India from Southeast Asia. from India and Malaysia. these Chinese actually live quite well. In general, Chinese people are still the first to be hardworking, and the second is that they can save money. What about the US? Do Americans save money? Chinese Americans? Or just ordinary Americans. Ordinary Americans don’t save money either. They don’t save money. They don’t save money either. You say like If they are in America, just ordinary people, not Chinese, just white people. If you ask them to take out twenty or thirty thousand dollars, Too little.
