Family of four ‘fed up' of living in the UK relocating to Thailand

Family of four ‘fed up' of living in the UK relocating to Thailand

Independent14-07-2025
A Nottinghamshire family of four, led by Dale and Kim Smith, is planning to relocate to Thailand with minimal belongings in pursuit of a better quality of life.
The family felt increasingly "trapped" and "fed up" with rising living costs, disengaged schooling for their children, and a desire to escape the routine of UK life.
To finance their move, they intend to sell their home, car, and most possessions, arriving in Bangkok with "nothing but a bag of clothes" and a pot of savings.
They plan to homeschool their children, Noah and Molly, hoping they will learn new languages and cultures while exploring Thailand, starting in Bangkok and Hua Hin.
The family aims to leave the UK by November, with their house going on the market in August, and Dale is documenting their journey on TikTok, gaining significant attention.

We ditched the UK to buy a three-bedroom house in Bulgaria - our property cost us less than a train ticket in Britain and we save loads on bills

A family-of-five ditched the UK for Bulgaria after realising they could buy a home in the Balkan country for less than the price of an annual season train ticket in Britain. In addition to cheaper properties, the family's adopted nation offered significant savings on food shopping and petrol. Known as @freshstartsticks on social media, the family have documented their journey on TikTok and Instagram, sharing their reasons for buying a home in Bulgaria - as well as their huge upcoming renovation project - with hundreds of thousands of viewers. 'We bought a house in Bulgaria for less than a UK season train ticket, but the price is secondary to the reasons why we made the decision,' the mother of the family said in a video that's been viewed almost 660,000 times. She didn't say exactly how much they paid for the three-bedroom home in rural Bulgaria - and UK train tickets vary greatly in cost. Commuter town Surbiton to London, for example, is priced at £3,264, while the longer route of Colchester to London costs £6,700. The mother-of-three admitted that the family had taken a 'massive risk' in pursuing a new life in Bulgaria but said they were 'running out of steam in the UK'. She emphasised that they did a lot of research before 'turning up in Bulgaria' and that the country 'ticked all the boxes.' 'It was warm in the summer,' the content creator added. 'The only thing that we were a little unsure of was the winter, which gets down to minus 20.' Yet while the sunny summer weather and high temperatures proved to be a strong draw, the convoluted visa process was much less appealing. The mother, who is keen to build a sustainable life for her family, explained: 'The first thing is that you've got to go back to your home country to submit your visa application.' The family were required to decide which visa was right for them, she added. She also acknowledged that when they first arrived in Bulgaria, they fell into 'so many pitfalls'. She said: 'The estate agents were showing us properties that were derelict and we were not interested in anything that was beyond what we could live in, and also the fees to get your visa were astronomical.' But, rather than letting their dream fall by the wayside, they resolved to 'do it ourselves.' In another TikTok clip, the mother reflected on the upcoming renovation project while also providing a glimpse inside the family's new home. 'When we arrived at our Bulgarian home, we had to literally claw our way in,' she said. 'Trees were bursting through the ground, creeping through the wall and splitting the paving stones. The garden [was] completely hidden under a wild tangle of overgrowth.' Having 'hacked' their way to the door, the family stepped inside to 'discover whether this was a huge mistake or the start of something incredible.' She gave viewers a tour of the farmhouse, explaining that they found two beds in every room, including the kitchen. This feature, she said, convinced her that the property had once been a multi-generational home, with grandparents, parents and children all living together. The family were relieved that the house was 'structurally sound' but recognised that it needed serious attention. With the goal of transforming the 'wild plot into a natural, organic homestead,' the mother appeared optimistic about the project.

Drugs, disasters and border disputes: Is Thailand no longer a draw for tourists?

Recent weeks have seen both Thai and global media reporting that Thailand 's foreign visitor numbers are down by 4.6 per cent compared to the same period (1 January to 29 June) last year. The Bank of Thailand (BoT) has cut its forecast for foreign tourist arrivals from 35 million to 37.5 million this year. Which leaves us wondering – what's going on in the kingdom? Has Thailand lost its shine for travellers? The short answer is yes and no. It really depends on where the travellers are coming from. There's been a spike in British holiday makers heading to Thailand in 2025, with Tourism Authority Thailand sharing that 674,640 arrivals visited in the first half of the year, an impressive 17.9 per cent increase on the figures from 2024. Each month in 2025 has seen rising numbers of UK tourists, when compared to the same month in 2024. Additionally, hotels across the Samui Archipelago, which includes Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, are expecting to be at capacity in August, with numerous local high-end chains, Avani+, Anantara, Centara, The Four Seasons, SAii and Santiburi being fully booked throughout the month. The slump is in fact due to a dip in East Asian visitors, most notably from China and there's a lot to unpack around that, following a series of events that happened earlier this year. In January, Chinese actor Wang Xing was abducted from Bangkok and forcibly taken to work at a scam centre near Myawaddy, a cyber-fraud hub in Myanmar, to the west of Thailand. Wang was rescued by Thai police on 7 January and returned to China, but the outcry across Chinese social media was, understandably, huge. Little over two months later, on 28 March, a terrifying 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Mandalay in northern Myanmar, the aftershocks travelled down the fault lines to Bangkok, shaking the city in the largest earthquake the capital has experienced for generations. The biggest tragedy was the collapse of an unfinished 30-storey skyscraper, mid-construction, that was due to be opened as Thailand's new National Audit Office. The majority of the 100 construction workers trapped within the rubble perished. As reported by Thai PBS, the building was Chinese-owned and used Chinese construction materials, which led to many Bangkokians nicknaming the project a 'tofu-dregs building' – insinuating the collapse was due to shoddy workmanship and materials from China. Despite the term being coined in 1998 by then Chinese PM Zhu Rongji, the implications were not well received by the Chinese media. The aftermath of these two shocking events has resulted in a large drop in arrivals from China, with numbers falling by 34 per cent in the first half of 2025. Thailand has seemingly lost its shine for some Chinese tourists whose absence, as a neighbouring country and a huge market, is having a sizable impact. Malaysian tourists, Thailand's second largest group of visitors, dropped 17 per cent in the same period. June this year also saw a sudden and unexpected backpedal on Thailand's cannabis laws; after being the first Asian country to legalise its use back in 2022, new outlines were swiftly put in place, quite literally overnight, that require a prescription in order to purchase, ensuring strict medical use only. With over 18,000 dispensaries open across the country, the majority of which are in tourist favourite destinations like Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai and Koh Samui, this U-turn is expected to have a negative effect on the economy and cannabis tourism. Shops caught selling to customers without a prescription now face a 20,000 baht (£460) fine, whereas just a couple of months ago, Thailand's Ministry of Commerce suggested the cannabis industry may be worth $1.2bn by 2025. Cannabis festivals and events in Bangkok and Chiang Mai have ground to a complete halt. As Thailand had become Asia's answer to The Netherlands, with weed tourists excitedly arriving from Japan, South Korea and beyond, this change in jurisdiction is also expected to have some ripple effect on visitor numbers from east Asia, but the impact is as yet unknown. The most recent headline news from southeast Asia though has been the border disputes between Thailand and neighbouring Cambodia, over territories that have been in question since 1907. The neighbouring countries have skirmishes periodically, with tensions previously rising in 2008-2011. The nation was shocked last week when, for the first time, the Cambodian military attacked civilians as a result of the clash. Before the attack, which left 12 Thai people dead, the two clashing militaries had not targeted civilians. A truce was declared 28 July; Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim brokered an 'immediate and unconditional' ceasefire between acting Thai prime minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodian prime minister Hun Manet, who met in Malaysia on Monday. Additionally, Worapa Angkhasirisap, director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (UK and Ireland), assured us that 'the recent developments were confined to a limited area near the Thai-Cambodian border in Ubon Ratchathani, Si Sa Ket, Surin and Buriram provinces and did not affect the rest of the country and key tourist areas. Tourist destinations across Thailand remain operational, with no disruptions to travel, transportation, or public services.' While it's undeniable there's been a lot going on in Thailand, the events of the first half of this year have amounted to an east Asian tourism blip from which the nation is sure to bounce back. The government has addressed Chinese tourists' concerns in a new media campaign, 'Sawadee Nihao', and visitor numbers of Western tourists are still on the rise and will no doubt grow higher post- White Lotus. Aside from the White Lotus effect, this week saw confirmation that the colossal EDM festival Tomorrowland will make its Asia debut in the 'Land of Smiles' in 2026, and achingly cool hotel chain The Standard is opening Pattaya Na Jomtien, their third Thailand property, this autumn. International brands are still launching Thailand-based projects in droves and new markets are being tapped into. The Land of Smiles is as welcoming as ever.

Retiring and relocating? Take a holistic approach

Debra Taylor has had a busy year or so: She's going through a divorce while in the process of retiring — and she's moving to Portugal from Southern California with one of her daughters. After deciding her next home would be outside the U.S., she narrowed down her choices based on tax burdens (Spain was out with its wealth taxes), climate (no Costa Rica, too hot) and ease of travel within Europe, one of her favorite parts of the world. She then toured Portugal with a relocation company, Expatsi, and found her new home, Aveiro. It's a striking city on the country's west coast with lovely canals that earned it the nickname the Venice of Portugal. It's all logistics from there. Taylor signed a year lease on an apartment (a requirement for moving forward), hired the company Viv Europe to navigate bureaucracies and paperwork, signed up for the necessary FBI background check and has an appointment in late September to move ahead with visas. Her youngest child gave her the idea to leave the country. 'After our current president was elected, my 18-year-old transgender daughter came to me and said, 'I want to get out of this country ASAP,'' Taylor recalled. 'That was just fine with me.' Her oldest daughter, who's 20, will stay in the U.S. to complete college. 'None of this means I have to live there forever,' Taylor said. 'I'll use this as my jumping-off point to do more deeper dives, explore the rest of the region. I want to buy a place, but I'm not going to do that until I'm living there and spend more time in different communities.' According to aging and relocation experts, Taylor has made the right decisions. Relocating for retirement The number of people who relocate upon retirement fluctuates, based on such factors as politics, home affordability and cost-of-living rates. While older adults are less likely to move than younger populations, more than 3 million people age 65 and older relocated within the U.S. in the five years before the coronavirus pandemic, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. As for moving abroad, U.S. politics is now the No. 1 reason cited by people who use Expatsi, the company's co-founder Jen Barnett said. 'The one downside is that a lot of countries retirees are interested in don't want retirees, and that is to say wealthy, English-speaking countries, because they want laborers,' Barnett said. While most U.S. retirees stay put in existing homes and locales, those who want to age in place face mounting challenges, said AARP Vice President Rodney Harrell, who focuses on housing and livable communities. Challenges include rising rents or mortgages, costs for home modifications, and a lack of community support services like adequate health care, reliable utilities and safe environments. 'One of the biggest challenges that we have is making sure that we take the future us into account, and not just look at our needs today," Harrell said. 'Are we driving today? Is our income where it is? Is our spouse and myself healthy right now? How able are we to walk around and use steps, etc.? Things can change.' All of the above is crucial as the U.S. heads into a gray bubble. 'We're going to have more people over 65 than under 18 by 2034. For the first time in U.S. history, we have more older adults than children,' Harrell said. It's not just about weather or grandkids Do you want mountains, an ocean, to be closer to grandkids? Would you like a university town or city, a particular religious institution? Harrell suggests setting clear priorities when planning a relocation. And they should go well beyond those specifications. Taking housing costs into consideration is generally universal, he said, but he urged a more subtle consideration. 'What are the neighbors like? Is it an active community, if that's what you want. Do people keep to themselves more? That social connection is really important, too,' Harrell said. The AARP's livability index scores neighborhoods and communities across the U.S. for the services and amenities that impact older people. It's easily searchable by address, city, state or ZIP code. 'Think about all of the things that you might want collectively, and know that there's no perfect place,' Harrell said. 'Once you have those things in mind, you'll get to the best possible outcome. Every place has trade-offs." If being close to children and grandchildren is high on the list, set clear expectations about how involved you want to be in such things as child care, said retirement transition planner Elizabeth Zelinka Parsons. Also, chat with adult children before making a move to determine how settled they are themselves. Casey Bowers and her husband, Dave Bowers, recently relocated to Ericeira, northwest of Lisbon on Portugal's beachy Silver Coast. They love it, but it's not all ocean and sun. 'We have three adult children and their partners, and one grandbaby with another on the way,' Casey said. 'We're very close to our children. Learning the grocery store, getting new cellphones, those are just procedural things, but being away from family — that's the hardest part.' Sarah Friedell O'Connell, a retirement coach in Boston, looks at relocation this way: 'You're going to get a lot of hours back when you stop your full-time job. What are you going to do with that time?" Take a good look at your lifestyle As a wealth manager, Chad Harmer has helped dozens of retirees relocate, from Ontario, Canada, to Arizona's High Desert, from the Boston suburbs to the Carolinas. And he's dealt with some 'boomerang' moves back home after grandchildren arrived. 'Start with a 'lifestyle audit,' not a tax table," he said. 'I ask clients to write a perfect Thursday five years from now. Where are they walking? Who are they meeting for coffee? How long is the drive to the grandkids? That exercise surfaces climate preferences, social networks, volunteer hobbies and healthcare priorities long before we argue over property tax millage rates.' He also recommended budgeting for hidden inflators — such as higher insurance premiums in disaster-prone areas and frequent flights to see family — and considering less obvious weather complications, like pollen levels. Parsons, who wrote 'Encore: A High Achiever's Guide to Thriving in Retirement,' is a staunch supporter of taking a short-term rental before deciding on a permanent move. 'It's tempting to retire where you vacation, but that may not be the greatest idea,' she said. Harmer's rule of thumb: When 80 % of your desired daily routine is achievable in a new location for at least 80 % of the year, you're in the right ZIP code. 'Anything less and you're probably chasing an Instagram fantasy rather than a retirement reality,' he said.
