Moreover, many believe the home is “incredible” for the price.

Posting on TikTok under the username ‘Roaming Sunshine,’ she provided viewers with an inside look at her residence.

She confirmed that she discovered the property, which is “right in the center of town,” on a rental platform.

The home includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms and is situated in Hua Hin, a popular tourist destination boasting beaches, mountains, temples, night markets, and water parks.

According to the ONS , the average rent in the UK is £1,301.

Fortunately for this mother, she pays a fraction of that in Thailand’s northern region.

Giving a “house tour,” the mother stated: “We’ve just moved here to Hua Hin, and this is what £500 a month will get you.”

Alongside a “super cute swimming pool” with a jacuzzi, the property also features a carport.

Additionally, there’s a lounge area and “a fully equipped kitchen that includes a spacious refrigerator, an oven, and a stove.”

But that’s not all; the home even boasts an outdoor area that is “perfect for relaxing in the shade.”

If you thought that was everything, think again – in addition to a bedroom with an en-suite, the property features a “beautiful outdoor shower.”

While showcasing her expansive bedroom, the mother explained: “My bedroom has a lovely view, and it includes sliding doors that open out to the pool.”

How Easy Is It to Move Abroad?

Brexit means British citizens must now apply for visas to relocate to EU countries. While some countries have less stringent residency requirements than others, here’s what you should do at home before moving:

  • Inform HMRC about your upcoming move.
  • Notify your local authority and provide a forwarding address.
  • Contact your mortgage, utility providers, and bank before leaving.
  • If you have paid sufficient UK national insurance contributions, you may qualify for a state pension abroad – reach out to the International Pension Centre .
  • You can register for the Royal Mail’s redirection service .
  • If you have outstanding student loans, contact the Student Loans Centre .
  • If you have children, provide sufficient notice to childcare providers and schools.

Social Media Users React

The expat’s video, which was shared under the username @ roaminginsunshine , has clearly amazed many, quickly garnering 318,400 views.

Many users thought the content creator was living a “dream life,” while others were impressed by the “incredible value” of the spacious home.

Unbelievable what you get for your money. In Essex, where I’m from in the UK, a room share costs at least £550!
