A new chapter. The same curiosity.

We’re Dave and Kimberley—usually Dave and Kim—a married American couple living in Thailand. Almost Retired in Thailand follows the everyday life we have built here, along with the places we explore when we head out with a camera.

Hua Hin, Pranburi and Pak Nam Pran are central to our story. Our videos cover homes we have bought and sold, local outings, road trips and ordinary days. Travel has also taken us to Ranong, Khao Sok, Bangkok, Koh Samui, Chiang Mai and beyond Thailand.

Why we share it

A move abroad involves more than choosing a beautiful place. It means learning how your routines, relationships, errands and expectations fit somewhere new. We share our own experiences so you can see the details and ask better questions about your own plans.

You’ll find enthusiastic discoveries alongside the practical parts of living here. What works for us may not work for everyone. Our videos are personal accounts, and the guides help you turn the stories into useful research.

About these guides

The site brings together our existing travel notes, curated videos and practical planning articles. We distinguish our firsthand stories from researched editorial guidance. Historical prices stay attached to the experience in which they were recorded; they are not promises of what your visit will cost.

Our editorial policy explains how we handle sources, updates and AI-assisted drafts. Please tell us about an error or a useful change.

Come along with us

The YouTube channel is where you can watch the full stories, see the places for yourself and join the conversation. If you are researching Thailand, planning a visit or already building a life here, we hope you find something useful—and something that makes you want to explore.
