#usa We Left Our Home and Careers in America—Now We Live in Thailand for $2,500 a Month What happens when you leave the United States and completely change the way you live? In this powerful conversation, we sit down with Kenisha and Dean, a married couple from New York and Atlanta who left the U.S. and have been living in Bangkok, Thailand since 2024. They share the REAL story behind their move, what life in Thailand is actually like, how much they spend every month, and why they don't plan on moving back to America anytime soon. But this isn't just another Thailand expat or cost-of-living video. Kenisha and Dean open up about the emotional, mental, spiritual, and relationship changes they've experienced since moving abroad. They explain how Thailand helped them slow down, reconnect with themselves, build community, strengthen their marriage, and see life from an entirely different perspective. We also talk about: 🇹🇭 Why they chose Thailand 🇺🇸 What felt different after returning to the U.S. Their real monthly cost of living in Bangkok How much they pay for their 3-bedroom townhouse Food, transportation, massages, and everyday expenses How moving abroad changed their marriage The mental and emotional "reset" that happens when you leave home Building a Black expat community in Thailand Finding Thai friends and creating a support system Rebuilding creativity, business, and purpose abroad Working remotely and building businesses from Thailand Advice for couples and newlyweds thinking about moving abroad Whether they plan to stay in Thailand long-term They also share some of the challenges people don't always talk about when moving abroad—including being far away from family during difficult moments, dealing with unexpected situations, and learning how to build a completely new life in another country. If you've ever wondered what it's really like to move from America to Thailand, how much it costs to live in Bangkok, whether Thailand is a good place for Black Americans, or what life as a married couple abroad actually looks like, this conversation is for you. Watch until the end for their advice to couples considering making the move—and why they believe you shouldn't come to Thailand trying to recreate the life you had in America.
