Hear it from people who already live here.
Video walkthroughs of every area we cover, and the Thailand podcasts we actually listen to — none of them ours. For our own written work, see all thirteen guides.
Hua Hin on video
Not our films — the ones we send people who ask what the town is really like.
Thailand podcasts worth your time
We do not make a podcast. These are the shows we actually listen to and send people who ask what living here is like — all still publishing, all made by people who live in Thailand. Episode counts checked August 2026.
The only podcast made in Hua Hin, by the local English-language paper. Long interviews with residents, business owners and advisers. Start with the March 2026 episode on the Thai tax changes.
Weekly interviews with foreigners who actually moved, heavy on retirees and real budgets. The episode with a 72-year-old on his costs and healthcare is the most useful hour you can spend before deciding.
Running since 2010, which tells you something. Two long-term residents on the bureaucracy, the culture and the daily reality. Bangkok-focused, but most of it applies anywhere in Thailand.
A journalist taking one Thai policy issue at a time. Publishes rarely, but the episodes on expat income tax and the new visa categories are the clearest audio explanation of either subject.
Aimed at foreigners running businesses here, so it skews entrepreneurial. The episodes on tax mistakes, work permits and international schools are worth it whether or not you plan to work.
Not a relocation show — a daily Thai news bulletin, weekday mornings. This is how most residents keep up with immigration and policy news before it reaches the expat forums.
