After 2 years of living in Thailand, what have I learned
Wow what a cool elephant temple & the artwork wow😮& the fortune telling device 😂😅Keep up the good mahi bro
Thank bro. Yup it's actually better in person, video didn't do it justice. Cheers
Sold the house yet?
It will take time. Took us a year and a half to sell our house in Hamilton. But that's ok. We will wait for the right buyer.
@@selfreliancelife9133 what are you asking?
@@mattyallen3396 $95,000 NZD
Thailand I love ,wish I could move,
What's stopping you? Move because I have a house here you can buy 😂
Holy the art work bro is wicked detailed work all right wow ❤
There's a really good story behind it all. The outside has monsters and demons while the inside looks like heaven, that represents life. Outside have demons surrounding you but you have to have inner peace within you. It's really cool.
Wow amazing brother I've only seen these places on documentary haha wow the elephant temple awesome
It's more impressive in person. It's a place I would take someone to visit from now on.
crack up my bro fun times
Fortune is right tho. The wife and kids got their fortunes message and it's pretty much bang on.
It is said that it is the simple things that really matter. The system is designed to have us chasing material things of our choices & we do. In working towards the future we can sometimes forget to live in the present & enjoy & be grateful for the simple things we already have. Life also shows us that when we think we are in control & have got everything sorted out, in one moment things can change, everything can change. During that change is our real human experience. How we deal with that change can be our heaven or hell on earth, especially our resistance to it. These are just some thoughts that came to mind while listening to your video. Thanks again for sharing your journey brother
Thanks bro
TBH I can’t see you are happy ier bro, ever since you move to Thai land. God bless brother! Hope He will lead you to real happiness. Amen!
It's only a 17 minute video. There's a lot of things that go on here in real life that you haven't seen. We all visit NZ in March and April, and after one month in NZ my wife and I was sick of NZ, we wanted to come back to Thailand. The little girl now likes Thailand more. How ever the boy still like NZ but we sorted out something with him and he understands. Come and visit 😂 you might think twice
Brother, life without Faith (f) is a “lie” . This world is all about $, which is rubbish in Heaven. 👌
Are you telling me or you your happy 🤔
Happy as can be
@@selfreliancelife9133 it looks like your going on TH-cam to convince yourself you are happy? I'm off for a hunt😄
@@Snotty-zt5qggoing on TH-cam to get a pay day😂good luck on the hunt
@@selfreliancelife9133 I work for money and hunt for food. Just get on with your life bro that's what I think people like to see. No matter how much you try an convince yourself that place will never be as good as New Zealand
@@Snotty-zt5qg it's better then NZ
Awsome bro. Try telling my missus!😂😅
She's the one recording. Communication between us and the kids as a family is good because we home a lot. Everyone is on board with the idea.
The dream changes over time..Never give up on the dream!
I'm living out my dream just like you are
Sorry not all about you , think are your family happy
Your right. Both kids university study money is in the bank ready to be used when it's time. Both kids have got help from me and my wife for a deposit on their first house when it's time, I have money for them to help them and I won't ask any back. My wife's students loan has all been paid for because of me. On my last video, kids get all the good food while I eat noodles so we can afford to do all of this. Any music class, art class after school for the kids I pay for it. Family comes first before me.
all knows your a good farther but living next door to your dreem home watching outher famaly living in your sold house you may think difent then
@@GunShot101 I'm not attached to material thing. The blue house is a good house with a nice view. I noticed since we came back how much of a jungle it is and how long it takes to clean up and take care of things. With the money of selling the house some money will be put into the blue house , e.g to build another bedroom. By the way this is the 12th home I have been in since being alive. Haha I move around a lot.
its good to be cheep m8 but maby when your kids get oldor you will chang your mind living in a small ròom now my kids oldor bit ov space gowes a long way sell the small house ceep the big one
I'll have to do another video to show that there's plenty of space there.
better sell the small house more better with kids to have the bigger home
Lots of room in that blue house. If we do another room downstairs, that will be the same floor space as our house.
The meaning and purpose of life is to have offspring and pass down DNA, this is by design for all life form, if this is not the case then there wouldn't be life on this planet. You know how well goats populate in the wild right lol
Yup, nowadays I see a lot of people deciding not having kids, my brother is one of them. I know a dozen people that also don't want kids. Which is interesting because people always did the traditional thing. I'm interested to see what happens in the future for these generations. I know loneliness is not good.
Good for you.
Thanks mate
you making a lot of since bro
Thanks bro.
$30 for 6 small pieces of chicken, so called large chips in a pack that looks unfilled and large potato and gravy what a rip off, so disappointing NZ
What gap should there be between the bowstring and the striker?
I have no idea, the cross bow came with the string on as it is.
Great time with the family
Yes, time will fly and we won't have these moments at their age again.
cool bro
Thanks bro
Khong I couldn't but help to notice that you shoot with all your l fingers below your arrow knock? You knocked the arrow because you have no finders on your arrow. There's less control on the arrow. I know a lot of target shooters shoot this way but not when hunting. Just some advise, no offense.
All good. Everyone has got their personal preference. The string was worn, didn't have a lot for the nock to stick to. I shoot string walking so all the fingers will be under with the right gap according to distance. Cheers.
do u really drive in city traffic with that heavy bike.. Im so happy driving a light 110cc honda cub scooter here in bangkok. seen so many forengers struggle with to heavy bikes in traffic here in Thailand over the years.
Yes, our small town don't have to much traffic so it's easy to get around, I use the bike to get to school and markets, makes me look cool In front of all the students and teachers 😂 . It's over the top kind of bike for getting around, but I been riding big bikes for over 13 years and this bike is like my toy to me. It gets used daily, not just for show. Cheers
@@selfreliancelife9133 been renting bigger real bikes for driving around se-asia many times last +15 years im been working and living in thailand..thailand lao vietnam cambodia myanmar..but in a hectic big city traffic with all the sudden stops and wonky traffic they are kind of worthless. only country i never drive in big citys are vietnam..that traffic is crazy
@@gmm5550 yes I been to Vietnam and crossing the road you just have to close your eyes and hope for the best. It's crazy there. I'm surprised there's not much crashes happening in a place like that. India traffic is just as bad as Vietnam as well.
Waste of time when you get swell like that using a fish harvester 🤦♂️
Thanks ,that was a good watch
Thanks bro, I enjoyed watching it back 😁
The only good way to keep kids off devices is distract them with sports and other hobbies, its very hard on parents because they will have to do it with them or pay for someone/classes. Kids classes is a big market, I know a parent filled her kid's weekend full with classes like piano, dance, art, maths, science etc...she spends about $400 a week.
Yeah that's why we travel every weekend now and that's why we started the club
Unfortunately those bloody phones are a problem alright its a shame young people are missing out on a lot of life
One thing they may lack is social skills as well
Hey mate keen to see how you feel about this in 6 months or so, currently tossing up between this and the Toparchery ilf 62”
Hey kong have you herd of the F.O.C if you youtube Ranch fairy he will see you right he will show you things that you'll that they will never tell in any bow shops he knows his stuff..real information 👌🏾
Ranch fairy is alright, take everything with a grain of salt though, everything he tests is done on pigs at short distances, when you want to take on faster animals might need faster arrows. But it all comes down to trial and error. I have a 26” draw and most of my arrows are around 500grain

M?
You should have got a compound bow it is a bit more expensive but you can hold a shot longer with no weight on the hand and you will not have shaking hand holding the bow string longer.
Cost is not an issue when it comes to passion but I just like recurve over compound, I know compound is way better tho.
<Waving hand> Mmm, a wounded animal is very dangerous 😳 can be very threatening. Not to mention poor wounded animal.
That's why we carry more than 1 arrows.
Nice bro I’ve just bought a Junxing T-Bow SSS recurve. Very nice bow to shoot.
They are a very good brand. I wouldn't mind getting a sponsor from them 😅
cool as bro
Thanks
Come to yroa
Hey mate what is the doc block called? Could you share with me. I'm a bow hunter too. I'm new to NZ. Thanks for your content.
Hauturu in the king country, it's on Hauturu road off SH31 . I park on the side of the road where the clearing is. Good luck 👍
@@selfreliancelife9133 Thanks buddy
But is it chicken ....😮
As long as it's meat
Stay over there bro
I hear a few sad stories about NZ at the moment, yup over it here looks much better.
Man your son has grown up
Yes it's crazy times. It's like I have to learn to know a new person. He's not so little anymore.
Boi,you were making me feel sick. <shaking head> I'd rather smell a wet pig than smell tobacco smoke off someone close by.
Yup I don't know how people can keep on smoking. I used to smoke when I was 22, it was easy to give up.
awesome video... loved 1:06 seeing u finally achieving that goal mate!
Thanks mate 👍
I always wanted to get to that lake but you have tried it for me😅
Go to sleep. It's like 3 am in NZ right now 🤣
Looks like these place we have been
Yes that's right 👍
Well done looks great, if you nail 2 lenghts of rail long ways it will hold cloth down when wind gets up
Thanks mate
well done cheers
Thanks, cheers
Looks like I watched way too many Star wars. Been expecting you to off the guy in front of you at the beginning, sith style.
Thanks 👍
What parts of new Zealand to you shoot ur videos
I was living in Hamilton, doing most of my hunting around Waikato and king country
@@selfreliancelife9133 we're is the best last to learn hunting in the king country
@@John-kf3rk a great area to hunt in the kind country is Taumatatotara conservation unit. It's on Coes road. That area have a few deer, pigs and goats.
KFC in NZ: Went recently. Filthy tables/seats and they don't even bother to give you a tray any more, just a bag of food to put your face in. Restaurant was freezing. Anyway, we should probably stop eating this nasty shit 🙂
Yeah we should stop eating it but now and then we have to treat ourselves. I only go to KFC or McDonald's once or twice a month, however fish and chips is a weekly thing 😂
you have to take in account the average monthly income in NZ is $2,982.76 the average monthly income in Thailand is $542.97 see the almost 6 times difference? so things are going to be more expensive in NZ shops because the workers have to be paid better and the workers have to pay more taxes, higher bills etc etc....that means the shops have to charge more money. of course $29 is going to get you a lot more in Thailand, it's called "currency conversion rate". i don't even know what the point of this video is to prove that you shouldn't already know. (also another thing you don't know is you can use online apps and free in-store coupons in NZ to get better deals, only amateurs order from the store menu)
The point of the video is the reason why you click to watch it.- To entertain -.
@@selfreliancelife9133 i was curious...let's just leave it at that.
