Summary
After leaving Thailand for the UK around June 2024, he regrets building a car-and-house life there and wants to return. His YouTube income near $1,000 monthly cannot comfortably fund UK costs, while Thai rent and expenses could total roughly £500–£600. He is researching DTV: roughly £300 plus £11,000 savings proof, versus applied-for Thai Elite at about £14,700 with bureaucracy assistance.
Insight
The UK experiment reverses his earlier Thailand dissatisfaction: autonomy now means affordable YouTube-based living rather than a conventional job.
