Why this family plans to leave the UK for Thailand with just a ‘bag of clothes’
Family of four ‘fed up’ of living in the UK relocating to Thailand
- A Nottinghamshire family of four, led by Dale and Kim Smith, is planning to relocate to Thailand with minimal belongings in pursuit of a better quality of life.
- The family felt increasingly "trapped" and "fed up" with rising living costs, disengaged schooling for their children, and a desire to escape the routine of UK life.
- To finance their move, they intend to sell their home, car, and most possessions, arriving in Bangkok with "nothing but a bag of clothes" and a pot of savings.
- They plan to homeschool their children, Noah and Molly, hoping they will learn new languages and cultures while exploring Thailand, starting in Bangkok and Hua Hin.
- The family aims to leave the UK by November, with their house going on the market in August, and Dale is documenting their journey on TikTok, gaining significant attention.
