Steve's transparency is refreshing. I understand he lost money in his divorce, but it's sad that such an intelligent and articulate man works a shitty menial job and is nearly broke at 64. Good luck to him. I sincerely hope his heart keeps pumping for many years and he finds happiness in Thailand.

I think the only job he could find in Thailand is teaching English, and i wonder if he has thought about getting credentials so he could teach. Also with his health condition he will not find a company that will insure him for medical.

Steve, Pete is 100% right when he says people will be interested in your journey. That's not just the anecdotes and stories that I know you're great at. Rather it's a very regular (maybe daily) update on how you are progressing along the journey .. what obstacles are in your way, how you faced them, how they've made you feel and how your plans develop and change. I'm guessing these sort of video blogs probably wouldn't need much in the way of editing (so I would expect they could be quickly done and uploaded on a regular basis) .. it can just be a daily diary about your journey. I so enjoyed the last interview with Pete that I bought your book (Leaving Thailand) on Kindle, and enjoyed reading that so much that I had to go and also buy Jack Reynolds book (A Woman of Bangkok) which was also a fantastic read. I certainly do want to hear how your journey goes, even starting from getting things sorted in New Mexico and building up to the departure. And I do wish you all the best. Good luck!

Steve my story is typical 1988 I was a backpacker did Europe and tried to go to south Africa and Kenya from tkts (from a bucket shop in London) it was too expensive so Bangkok then Cairns and Sydney Fiji Tahiti and L.A and New York Buffalo & bus back to Toronto. Well I was supposed to stay 10 days in Thailand and then on to Australia and so on... well that never happens of course! I met another backpacker from Manly Au. We became fast friends and I over stayed my Visa which was 15 days by over 3 months . It wasn't a big deal in those days . I was supposed to travel sew my wild oats and marry my New York jewish princess. But I met Amporn and well a house in Chiang Mai (I paid $3000 and Amporn paid 17000. And we lived for the first 4 months a quiet life but I was 26 and well you might guess how the rest of the year went. It gets a little seamy. Everyone of my expats friends also have exciting tales. Live your dreams Steve . Did you never get up Chiang Mai ? My experience was a hell of a ride. I never officially worked for 18 years from what I recall. I finally settled into a domestic life in Canada with my Filipina wife. We would travel to Philippines and She really took a shine to Thailand and Chiang Mai in particular. Great great memories

It's great that you had 7 years in Thailand in the '90's. It's great you are checking Thailand out today. To be honest I, and others in the comments, don't think your odds of success in Thailand are great unless dying after 1 year can be counted on as a success. You've made your mind up and no one is going to dissuade you. I've lived in Bangkok for 5 years and am married to a Thai. I've also followed some vloggers in the Philippines because they talk about the expat experience really well (check out Paul old dog new tricks, and every man has a story). I recommend that your Plan B be the Philippines. You were used to visa runs in Thailand in the '90's. The Philippines tourist visa situation is much better (3 years before a border run). It sounds like you are on the edge financially and the Philippines might be a better landing place in the end. But . . . follow your dream for now.

Hi Pete , great follow up to the last interview with steve. While I wish him all the luck in the world with his dream move back to Thailand and big respect to him for taking this step , I can’t help but feel he may struggle. Without the proper funds to keep him going is a worry , he can’t stay on peoples good nature for the rest of his life , with no health insurance in Thailand that could be tough and if he can’t find what he wants in Thailand he may go to another country and if he does that it wont be Thailand . I think he remembers Thailand one way and hope he can have that again alas I fear that may not happen. I hope he can sort his relationship out with his daughter maybe his son can help them both patch things up . All the best Steve , Pete nice one my Mann

You do not need money in the bank for the retiree visa (50 yoa or over). You do need to be able to show an income that gets to monthly or annual income that meets the requirement. Proof of Income. The Thais at Immi would rather not do it, but it can be done for a retiree visa if you have a pension and Social Security and other income streams. 800K baht a year income. If married to a Thai national it is only 400K baht annually. It can be done for a marriage visa as well. OA

@@steverosse My suggestion, if you have the trust needed to do this within your family, is to take 30K USD from the house sale and place it in an account in your name (seeding it basically). With that you can show the money honey to immigration and get a one year retirement visa. After you have the visa you can withdraw the money (or write a check for it if it is in a checking account) and give it back to your mother/family. You will then have a year's valid retiree visa to figure out what you can do to stay over the 12 months. Which, in my mind, would be a job that will get you a visa for the work you'd be doing. Just an idea that would at least give you a year to get things done on the visa end. More breathing room for you.

There are two things I see that could keep Steve from realizing his dream. Visas and health insurance. Other than that I can see Steve easily finding work at a Uni in Thailand and other job opportunities that he is qualified for. Though age can be an issue if you are above 60 (I have known expats here that worked as a teacher until age 70) it can be done. He's white, American, university educated, speaks understandable English, and is intelligent and personable. All things needed (or desired by the Thais) to get a teaching job. At a private school or government school he would also be able to get some medical insurance... possibly. Steve has mucho skills. He'll do alright if he can crack the visa requirements.

Thai Social Security is same YOU CANT JOIN IT AFTER 60yo.

Exactly why I left my unstable job in HawAii, retired early and joined my family in Thailand. My cobra payment was $600 a month, everything in HawAii is totally unaffordable. I had a Thai lady say to me so if you don’t have money in America you die. In the 3.5 years I have lived here I spent around $300 for excellent, efficient healthcare in Chiangmai.With Medicare in the US , you will still pay $200 a month for part B for medications and hospital. I hope Steve is able to make it here, so honest and upfront. I’m from HawAii and when I was visiting my family in Bangkok, I didn’t want to come back home to HawAii. Epidemic of homeless, unaffordable cost of living, crumbling infrastructure. Working 2-3 jobs. The best decision I have ever made was to move to Thailand. It was more work to get my cat from HawAii to Thailand, then myself and son. We have a Thai embassy in Honolulu, so it was easy

Steve comes off as a highly intelligent person with a literary sensibility. Consider the enormous gap between his vocabulary versus all the other interview subjects - he's a wordsmith by comparison in his own league. And what I have observed from an interest in other biographies of authors: Hunter, Bukowski, Camus, even Vonnegut, being so intimate with words can be a real burden on the mind - a bittersweet gift a best. Being particularly good at relationships, at making 'rational' life choices, etc. may not be a strength nor a priority. But can they tell and often live a hell of a story? I do hope Steve finds peace even if it is spite of his wishes.

The picture he painted of himself leaving and never seeing his family again for a kamikaze emigration to Thailand is really sad. Sounded almost like he's just given up in a way.

Fascinating interview. I have not seen the first one but will go visit for sure now having watched this one. I wish him all the best but think he may somehow struggle in the “new” Thailand with regards to visas and health issues. I’m pretty sure no one will insure a 64 year old guy with his previous and if they do it will be out of his reach. I’m addition he could go the agent route, as many do, for visas but that still involves laying out cash each time. I would be fascinated to know what his budget is going to be when he arrives. As someone who will be retiring next month and arriving to live here I can empathise with a lot of what he says and everyone deserves a chance of a better life whatever their circumstances. Whether his ex feels that way or not would be interesting to know more. She will have her own story which may involve him not seeing his one year out. It’s sad re his daughter but that kind of shit happens I’m nasty break ups. I’m sure we all have a story or two to tell on that score. As far as your channel goes Pete, I wish you well. As a recent subscriber I’m finding it a real good watch and enjoying your content with a difference. One last thing……..I would check with the wife before Steve arrives on your settee :)

Hat's off to him though and i hope it all works out in the end. He has set his goals and has the balls and the courage to make it work. I wish him the very best of luck.

Yes, he's had some self inflicted dramas (which I admit to myself too) but he kept his dream in sight and is now living the dream. I just sincerely hope he gets more like 20 years there on Turtle Beach instead of the 12 months he's dreamt of for so long.

LOL...the comments were far more fascinating then the vid and reveal a lot about the man...I would guess he knows a lot of people due to his outgoing and in your face personality but does not have any true friends that he could call upon for assistance in a time of need. His delivery is on point and keeps you entertained but would you allow him sleep on your sofa for a few days...Not me... he has already planted the seed about staying on your sofa. Everything about the man is calculated, staying on your sofa was premeditated but put forward as in jest, a real chancer as they would say in Ireland. Thailand 20/30 years was a different place, staying over at your mates home on the sofa for weeks on end was quite common, with the lady of the house cooking and cleaning for both men while they sipped Leo on the veranda with no questions asked or complaints given. Anyway , the calculated networking with Steve has commenced, it will be interesting to see how many people in a Westernised Thailand will have room on their sofa for a man with limited finances.

I like this dude. His open hearted truthfulness is just lovely and so rare and what is more simple and alive than the Truth ? I’m in recovery and have over the years attended many 12 step meetings and this is one of the few places you’ll meet people this real. All spiritual awakenings happen within and around absolute truth and sincerity. Very few people admit even to themselves just how afraid they really are and how little they actually know that is meaningful. The song says you have to go to hell before you can get to heaven. This man has already been to hell and back over and again. Me too. His next stop is heaven, right here on earth and in the Buddha field when his time comes to venture forth across the great wide open. I send blessings for his journey may it be filled with light and love and much peace ✌️ 😊💛🌸🌺🌼👏

How can he live in Thailand at all? Sounds that he was not able to save a significant amount of money for the last 30 years. Because he had to pay child support, medical costs and w33d is also really expensive on a daily use. Low expenses (living in a camper) and good investments could have helped.

Actually a sad story. And I have met tons of men like this. Coming back home, no one gives a sh*t about you. You are bored to death. You are at your job, alone at home at night dreaming about a foreign land with young girls giving you attention. Of course, at your job or on a beach eating fried rice, you would have given everything to sit in Thailand with a fried rice. But most of the guys I have met have turned, well, after a month of fried rice (Can I afford to have a cup of tea) most of them have turned real tragic.

I saved about 450 k euro (50% invested in descent big companies) and will move there soon. I have had enough of the western lifestyle. Will study thai and teach for most of my expenses there (3-4 days a week). Will just rent a nice place, not considering buying untill landowning of 1 rai will become accesible for farang. I know thailand good enough to not get involved with scaming bargirls (lived there in my 20s for three years). I have given myself a royal budget of 100k baht a month living in Chiang Mai. With the teaching income of around 30-40K I calculated I can make it out easily 10 years in Thailand without problems and will still have 225 k left in the end. And probably in 10 years this investment has doubled. Trust me: I will have a very very good life in Thailand with a 3-4 day work week. I will still have the option of going "home"...people who go there should always keep this option open. Dont expect making a fortune in Thailand, most people fail really bad.

Just now coming across this. Enjoyed Steve's words and story very much. Maybe it's just me also being an American, and also seeing the strangle hold of the Capitalist society puts on its people .. tied to your job or no healthcare for you, etc .. but I can very much identify with his words of wanting to leave it and go to a much more peaceful place. Wondering, though, about Steve's history in the film industry. Has he tried to contact Chris Parker, Retired Working for You, who also has a long history in the movie industry. If anything, Chris might be willing to give Steve some sort of employment that allows him to eat that rice on the beach and affords him the grass covered shack. Wish him the best.

I think the Thailand that exists in Steve's memories from 25 years ago no longer exists. It's also crazy to me to make this leap with as many health issues as he says he has and little to no social security to fall back on with the expectation of finding work in a country which pays relatively little and where he himself says he doesn't qualify for a visa beyond the tourist visa. I mean if this were his dream since 1997 he should have been putting all his resources in ensuring he was financially ready over the past 20+ years. Saving and investing like crazy, working a second job, etc. I truly hope it works out for him, but this isn't a fairy tale. Reality can be harsh.

For the record, I had five jobs before I left Iowa to come to New Mexico, the state that consistently has the highest unemployment in the US. I am old and speak no Spanish, so I have been unable to find decent work. The Spanish language thing is really important down here. I am also still carrying debt from my divorce in 2003. But my mother was old and sick and alone so I made what I thought was the right decision, and I've lived with the results of that decision every day since.

@steve rosse Thanks for responding, Steve. I have no doubt that you've experienced hardships these 25 plus years. But those decisions you've made have led you to here this moment. And by your own admission, you've made a lot of decisions that in hindsight you shouldn't have. You can't do anything about the past, but the future is in your control. It is a terrible idea to move to the other side of the world in a country who, by your admission, doesn't want you due to your economic status. On top of that, you are vulnerable healthwise, and even if you had the money to buy health insurance, they likely wouldn't cover you due to your health history. On top of that you expect to find work in your mid 60s in a country where you will likely not be able to legally work. If you had a decent level of social security like $1500 a month coming in I would still think it's crazy unless you also had $20,000+ in savings for emergency but I would ynderstand how you could make it work. This right here plan you just explain doesn't sound like that type of crazy but plausible situation it sounds like a suicide mission. I know you could probably give a fly f*ck what an internet stranger has to say but this will put a strain on your family and love ones because they will be the ones to pick up the pieces if or when this blows up.

At the end of the day, live were your treated best and were you can afford it. What I sensed with both interviews is Steve seems to be high strung (Maybe from his OCD). His speech is always so pressured, I wish he would start listening with his heart, maybe walk on the beach with a monk or go to a temple and let go all these negative vibes I am sensing. I can sense his sadness. But I do hope he finds peace. I do wish the best for him.. Now to switch to DR. PHIL life advice. No one cares hearing everythign he has done but STEVE. It reminds me of the old guy that keeps talking about his football days in high school. Steve do more, talk less with your mouth, and listen more with your heart. Come like a empty page and forget everything you learned in the west, let go of all the toxic things that is still taking up space in your mind. Find GOD, BUDDHA or whatever can fill that empty space you have in your soul. GOD loves you brother. Find your peace.

Narcissistic kinda fella your interviewing. I respect your excellent ability to interview this man, not once, but twice. The first interview clearly shows the type of person this man is, and the destruction that has been left behind by him. I think you would be able to close this one sided story, with a full interview with his Thai ex-wife, and see both sides of this story, i.e. this can of worms, you opened up. I mention this because of the terribly inappropriate this guy showed towards an ex-wife from a divorce nearly 20 years ago.

Absolutely agree Tom, he is self obsessed and I would be very careful of getting too close to this guy Pete. I’d love to hear the stories of his divorced wife, daughter who doesn’t speak to him and the multiple bosses and people he worked with that had to let him go. I reckon there’d be more than a few truth bombs. I’d rather the man from Wig Wang sleep on my sofa than this guy 👍.
