A British father has revealed that he's leaving the UK with his family to move to Thailand because he's 'sick and tired' of the 'terrible' school system, rising bills and 'unsafe' streets.
Dale, from Nottinghamshire, who goes by the name @4goTraveling on TikTok and YouTube, often documents his sunny holidays online, but this time he took to the platform to reveal he will be leaving Britain for good.
The father-of-two shared that he would be selling his home and all his family's belongings to prepare for their new life in Hua Hin, Southeast Asia, where they hope to move to by November.
Sharing a video on TikTok explaining his decision, which quickly racked up over a million views, he claimed that the education system in England is 'terrible' and that his children 'hate' their schools.
Dale added: 'Nothing has changed since the 1800s, they are just preparing our children for a future that is not going to be there.'
The father later explained that they plan to homeschool their children in Thailand, as they want to spend as much time with them as possible.
Another reason the family chose to move is because of their dissatisfaction with their current jobs.
Dale explained: 'I'm sick and tired of getting up on a Monday, going through the same routine, then its the weekend, then its Monday again, for nothing. We pay so much tax and all these bills, they are just going up and up and up.'
The Brit revealed they plan to work remotely doing digital marketing or web development when they settle in Asia.
Next, he cited the 'terrible' weather as a significant factor influencing their decision to leave the country.
He said: 'England is just a miserable place, the streets are unsafe, I'm just tired, we got Instagram going, we got YouTube going, we are trying to raise as much money as we can before we go and hopefully we will be gone in November.'
'Follow us through our journey, we are going to sell the house and sell everything we own', he concluded.
In another video, Dale revealed why the family had picked Thailand for their new home, explaining how rent prices are apparently much cheaper and you get more for your money, while they also don't have council tax.
Dale said: 'You can get a house in Hua Hin, which is about two hours from Bangkok, for about £600 per month, a three bedroom house with a pool and sometimes a slide.'
'All you have to pay is the water bill and electric bill, electric in Thailand is about 9p per unit, in the UK is it 25p per unit.'
'Food is really cheap and the lifestyle is incredible, so why would you stay here, oh and there is no council tax either, which is a bonus.'
He revealed they would be selling their home and all their belongings to prepare for their new life in Southeast Asia, where they hope to move to by November.
Many flooded the comments to wish the family luck, with some saying they also decided to move.
However, others thought the decision was reckless and warned that they shouldn't sell the house incase it doesn't work out.
One person said: 'Good move bro, I left UK for Thailand, my daughter is almost six and speaks five languages. Would only be her parents languages if she stayed in UK.'
Another added: 'Left in Jan, best thing i've ever done and so happy.' Someone else added: 'Don't blame you, if it weren't for my grandkids, I'd be gone. This country is a disgrace.'
While a fourth wrote: 'UK is miserable. I 100 percent understand you.' Another added: 'we are leaving with our 4 kids to Thailand in November! we can't wait!'
However, others thought the decision was reckless and warned that they shouldn't sell the house incase it doesn't work out.
One person wrote: 'Don't sell your house, at least not for a couple of years. Rent it out. It is a valuable asset and if things don't work out in Thailand you have something to come back to.'
Another said: 'Moving your children to Thailand? I feel so sorry for them. Massive downgrade. You're doing this for you. Not your kids!'
Someone else added: 'You still have to work over there get up on Monday then it's the weekend. It's the same routine wherever you go if you want to have a house and pay bills.'
Another simply said: 'The grass isn't greener on the other side.'
