Überwintern in Pattaya: 6 Monate Deutschland, 6 Monate Thailand (so mache ich es!)

Eugen (44) lives a life many dream of: He's a part-time expat. A qualified lawyer, he heads a criminal law department in Berlin and simultaneously runs the successful "Angels" club. But that wasn't enough for him: Together with his Thai wife, he took over the "Climax" club and hotel in Pattaya in October 2024. In this video, we speak candidly with Eugen about how the commuter model works in practice (4 to 6 months in Thailand, then back to Germany). He reveals why working in Thailand is often more challenging than in Berlin due to cultural differences and how he manages his business across two continents. Exclusive business and expat facts from the video: Visa & work permit: Eugen works legally in Thailand with a non-B visa and a work permit, which is renewed annually. Health insurance: For his time in Thailand, he uses a basic international health insurance policy from Allianz for around €28 per year. Club & Hotel "Climax" Pattaya: This venue can accommodate up to 250 people and offers interactive shows instead of traditional walking street performances. Room Rates & VIP Rooms: A standard hotel room costs 1800 Baht per night, a VIP double suite 4500 Baht. Private VIP party rooms (with karaoke, billiards, and a bar) are available for 4000 Baht per night. Prime Location: The hotel is extremely centrally located, just a 3-minute drive from Terminal 21.
