ProTechs Future Plans - 15 More Years In Thailand?

Main summary

Key takeaways

Lifestyle

Life update & future plans

  • The creator moved from the United States to Southeast Asia about 4 years ago, initially starting in Cambodia because Thailand was locked down due to COVID.
  • After research, they chose the Thailand Elite Visa as the best option for their streaming life in Thailand.
  • They’re currently a full-time streamer, claiming 200+ hours/month consistently (with an occasional month or two under that figure).
  • They report they’ve had setbacks (specifically mentioning hurdles related to StarCraft), but say they’ve gotten back on track.

Visa extension fundraiser (main reason for the video)

  • They want to extend their visa and stay in Thailand for a substantial amount of time.
  • They say they’re on a “grandfathered” Thailand Elite plan and can upgrade for ~$11,000 USD.
  • They compare it to the current cost:
    • If they wait until the visa expires and restart, the price is about $140,000–$150,000 USD.
  • They estimate they have about a year (and later says about a year and a half) to raise the needed money.
  • They’ll start a donation goal and ask viewers to help reach it because:
    • Their only income is streaming.
    • If they had to return to the United States, they don’t believe they could continue creating content due to financial constraints.

“No-life mode” plan

For the next year and a half (minimum), their lifestyle will be:

  • No women
  • No nightlife
  • Straight routine: go to sleep → wake up → stream → repeat

Goal: keep streaming consistently (they mention 200–300 hours/month) until they secure the visa extension.

What viewers can expect

  • They expect a large amount of content over the next ~year and a half, contingent on reaching the donation goal.
  • If the goal is met, they plan to remain for another 20 years.
