Thank you so much B, I really appreciate it, you've made my day, but I'm sure you've made a lot of peoples days in you're time as a nurse and I commend you and your profession very, very highly. My son was a Nurse and I had a close friend who was also a Nurse so I know a bit about all the shit you had to put up with. I wish you good Health and great Happiness for you and those you love❤

Let me know your budget and what kind of hotel you'd like to stay in, maybe I could suggest one. When are you thinking of coming? (send reply to my private mesenger) xx

Thanks Pan, glad you liked it. We are planing to come back to the Pullman as soon as we can.❤

Thanks S. Always good to hear from you. It's good to know you like my kind of daft. Cheers.

Thanks Jeff much appreciated.

Thanks Richard. I'm doing a new one right now and of course there will be more to follow. Also there's a couple more of our stay in Phuket showing on the 26th April and 10th May (I post videos every 2 weeks) Let me know what you think👍

It's my pleasure Bottletop.Thanks for the comment.

Thanks so much! Pilgrim

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks Gerald. I have now Superclues my hat to my head. Love your comments H n H

It's a long time since we stayed at the Millenium (before the renovations) so I can't really say. But the Sheraton has a nice pool and the garden is very relaxing and I love the Peacocks. The Buffet is also very good. Whatever you choose I hope you have a great time and let me know what you think. H n H K

Thank you so much.

You're more than welcome. And thanks for joining me. H n H K

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely comment, it made my day, I hope you can watch some more of my videos and I’d love to hear what you have to say about them. I must admit that I did hope, at first, that I could succeed with my vids’ and maybe make a little money from them but I've since come to realize that's probably never going to happen but I enjoy making and editing my vids’ and I’ll be damned if I’m going to fall into the trap of trying please the algorithm and lose the pleasure of doing what I do and it’s comments like yours that makes it all worthwhile for me.

Hi ST. Pretty much right on all counts. It was my first time making a You Tube video and I guess I was just testing the waters. I'd seen a lot of videos of Hua Hin and they were mostley about Bars, Beaches, Booze, Hookers and local attractions so I was trying to approach Hua Hun from another point of view, and having been closly involved with all the above (through my work) I didn't want to get into all that, while I was taking a break. It's funny, that though I don't think this video is anywhere near my best work it got a lot of hits and even on this re-posting (2 years later) it's still getting a lot of hits. As for the shorts; I do enjoy being stupid at times, they're easy to make and they get way more hits than my long form videos but I'v decided to discontinue making them; I don't realy want to present myself like that to people who don't know me and in the end my chanell is not about chasing hit's it's about doing something I enjoy doing very much. Thank you for your comments I like and respect your honesty and I hope that my videos have (and continue) to improve since that first attempt. Cheers ST

@@livingthethailife Thanks for the update. Yes, it's definitely more important that you enjoy making the Videos. Looking forward your next videos, etc. Have a great day 👍

You're welcome, thanks and you have a great day too.

IT WAS A JOKE! You said "on someone your bitterly jealous of" that is also a joke... I was just making fun of his over use of expletives... nothing more nothing less. Thanks for the comment.

I was meant as a joke... that's all. Thanks for the comment Jered.

Thanks 🤗

Thanks Richard. I finished secondary school but only by the skin of my teeth. Which video did you watch first? Yea, Sheraton was great.

I eventaully lost 60lbs and maintain my weight by fasting every Monday, eating less than 200 calories for the next 2 or 3 days, eat as normal for the rest of the week, and repeat. Thanks for the info ST.

Thnaks for the comment ST.

Thanks Bijan I needed that after the last comment from emlynt19541

Oh, I really am so sorry I come accross like that to you Emlynt... having a You Tube chanell leaves me open to bad comments so I guess I should excpect a few now and again... but it still hurts when I get em. Good luck and all the best to you too.

Hey John, belIeve me there are hundreds of thousends of TH-camrs already.

I tend to agree with this comment. It seem like every Tom, Dick and Harry in the TH-cam fraternity video the same towns, beaches, menu and bars. The exception to the rule are those TH-camrs who travel off the beaten track and video places rarely seen by the average tourist. My favourite channel is 'Itchy boots' which has in excess of two million subscribers. Every 3 to 4 days a new video is published with hundreds of thousands of views within hours of its release. A 30 year something female travelling solo across the African continent on her motorcycle. This is the type of content which garners a dedicated following and the financial rewards speak for themselves.

Yea it sounds interesting I just had a quick look. But as for me I have my limitations, for example; no matter how hard I try I can't seem to make myself look like an atractive 30 something female. But I get what you're saying and thanks for the comment.

I enjoy making and editing my vidios D and make them mainly as a video diary for myself so I will keep on doing em. Thanks for the comment.

Yes keep going, maybe try another country. Thailand has been done to death over and over. I simply switch off now

I'll check it and let you know.

I checked it and there is no weird sound and no one else has complained. Have you checked your system? Check another one of my videos and let me know if you still hear it. Thankyou for letting me know.

I think he's referring to your pommy accent

😂@@keith9970

Yes you got that right and I understand that most people would assume I am what you thought I was, as is the case with most retiered people living here but, in my case it's far from the truth. I came here temporarily and in the process got offered a job that resulted in my staying here. If you’re interested you can watch a couple of my videos; How did I end up here and What am I doing here, which will give you a good overview of how it all came about and why I stayed and as you’ll see (if you watch them) I’m not your typical retired ex-pat. Thank you for saying, “You look like you’re financially well off” which sadly is not the case. In my videos I do put the cost of many things… Hotels, food etc. Thanks so much for your suggestions; I'll bear them in mind in the future. All the best K

Just because one stays at a Marriot Hotel for a couple of nights and eat crabs, mussels and lobster does not mean you are rich. To celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary my wife and I stayed at the Marina Bay Sands hotel in Singapore for 2 nights. That, together with the return flights from London, cost me an arm and a leg. We are NOT "well off" by any means.

Hey Steve. I diddn't mean to imply you had to be rich to stay in a posh hotel. I myself am not "well off" by any means. My wife and I live a frugal lifestyle and we save up to have a good holiday when we can afford it. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment S. You're probably right.

Thanks for the comment John. Can I ask? Are you basing your observations on just this video or have you watched any of my other videos? I have since changed the brand name of my site to Living the Thai life and beyond. I realize that this first video was a bit stiff and I admit that, at first I was thinking my site might make me some much needed income but since then I’ve come to accept that I’d have more chance betting on the lottery. So now (as you mentioned) I see my channel very much as a video diary which I share with anyone who cares to watch and my friends (who would tell you that I am, for the most part, very much myself) John, I really appreciate you taking the time to send me more than a one line comment. Thanks again K

Thanx Rob, I did know that. I just thought there might be a trick to please the money minded Robot other than posting unadulterated shit aimed at mindless morons with theattention span of a goldfish.... of course if anybody else is reading this, that was a joke🤣

exactly this

It always has. The trick is, is to have them cut it fresh off the leg not pre-sliced. Thanks for the coment Ray.

Ha Ha... but if you re-check the thumbnail I posted you'll see it says Almost No Tourists. Thanks for the comment SM.

Thanks for the comment Charpkun, Yes you're right I know it's selfish of me but I'm kinda glad the tourists havn't found Toya yet. I love Hokkaido. H n H K.

We were there about a month ago. Yea this hotel was a bit expensive but it was a top of the range and just like anywhere else prices differ. In general Japan isn't as expensive as a lot of people think. Thanks for asking.

But did you try it and if so what did you think? Thanks for the comment V.

Thanx Darling.

Not meant to be click bate mate. If you ever saw the Excorcist I did better, I was in a large hotel bathroom and hit all four walls from the toilet seat and then hospitalised for 36 hours. And finally compensated by being given a room (for free) in any one of their hotels world wide for one week. Maybe I played it down a bit and I'm sorry for that, it was in no way my intention to use click bate (which I hate) maybe I should do a follow up and explain the whole story. Again my sincere apologies I'm sorry if you felt misled.

What was the history?

Thanx D, glad you liked it. How you doin?

Thanks Graig (As always.) I try to be different. I'm aware that I'll probably never make any money from my channel but I refuse to fall into the guide lines of the TH-cam robot which dosent encourage any attempt at origionality but I enjoy doing the videos and people like you keep me going. I did a video about the Sheraton a while ago and we were there last weekend. I'll also be posting a new video soon that shows their bloody marvelousThai restaurant. H n H K.

Sorry for the late reply Graig. Glad you liked the vid. Yea I'm sure it was a PR trick to make money in the name of some mythical God. The way the construction was going it looked as if they were building areas for market stalls. I could rant about this for ages but in the end it's just all about the money... as per usuall. Hope all is going well for you in your new home. H n H K

Thanks for the coment and thanks for letting me know about the lunch; we might give it a try sometime as it's so near to where I live. Were the prices good? Do you live in BKK or were you on holiday?

I'll tell him when I see him. Thanks for the comment.
