i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Louis Kane I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Just wanted to say this is currently the best Thailand themed channel. Really appreciate the frequent videos with interesting and useful content. Very helpful for future expats.
Jo is a "dead ringer" for Billie Burke, the actress who played Glinda, (good witch) in ''Wizard of Oz'' (1939)...hehe...even her voice is similar. Nice lady! Another great video....thanks...
Nice interview with Jo - for me absolutely best things to bring was non-cotton everyday active clothing (like North Face or Columbia) since it dries so fast after washing.whereas cotton shorts, trousers, jeans take forever to dry.
I can still remember the first time I went to Thailand. I arrived at 6.25 am, I got a flight from UK to Paris then it was direct from there a 12 hour flight. I always remember that heat as you step out of the Airport.
It's funny you mentioned the peanut butter. It reminded me when I was a kid growing up in Bangkok during the mid to late 80's. My American father always complained about how difficult it was to find peanut butter. He often found it to be quite expensive as well. He eventually succeeded in making his very own peanut butter to his liking, which was quite thick and tasty.
I don't know if you go back and read comments on your older posts or not but maybe I can help you a little. Like you, I have a wider foot than most and originally had trouble buying shoes here. I finally found the sporting goods store on Level 2, Central Festival, Beach Rd, Pattaya. They stock New Balance and they usually have a small selection of the half sizes which are the wider ones. I wear a 46 and a half which is very comfortable. I believe that New Balance is the only brand here that does those sizes.
We should get together and share a meal. I'm a fellow American and have lived in Thailand 18 years. About 33 months in Bang Saen. I'm a cyclist and have seen you on your morning power walks, many times. I can also give Jo some insight on the teaching industry in Thailand.
This video was amazingly helpful as someone who's going through the authorization process to come to Thailand on a teaching program. Just curious, why did she come on a tourist visa instead of getting the work visa before she left? I'm working through a placement agency and they don't mess with tourist visas. Also did she have any problems getting her degree authorized?
It's not. But coconut oil in Western retail packaging is. Another thing requiring time and familiarity in order to get around. The very first thing to do when you arrive in Thailand (after jetlag), is enroll in a good Thai language course, and take it seriously. It pays dividends, socially, culturally, and financially. Trust me.
The coconut mafia is in Ratchaburi. I know one thing, their is a big boss there who controls all the trucking and processing labor racketeering for the plantations. The boss controls the price. Good guy to know if you want to be an international coconut king pin.
Subscriber numbers have gone from like 9,800 to 13,400 in just like 16 days or something. The channel is growing pretty quick. Great interview btw. Hope the best for Jo over there
Cool and optimistic lady, if she does not make it, nobody will. Sad for her to arrive in such hard times ( I did not hear her complain about that) , but knowing that she going to teach, that can go really fast, hopefully next month. With about 5 words Thai like swadikrup, kapkumkrap, movement with you hands and body to show respect, will be liked by Thai people very much. Even if they speak English. Such a strong lady will make it, I am sure! I wish Jo all the best and thanks for this impressive vlog. With a lot of information as always!
She seems like a very nice person, intelligent, very good looking... Thanx for finding her for me. :) So, in reference to bringing stuff with you, such as deodorant, and other feminine products. You can't order that stuff on the internet and have it shipped to you?
your assistant V better watch out... Jo is a hotie with a beautiful accent. Would like to know how much she is paying for rent since she is your neighbor. Maybe all 3 of you can live together to save on rent (I am getting flashes of one of my favorite TV shows - Three's Company)
.....I taught English overseas also, so I feel for the teachers. I was in China, but the experience would be similar. English teachers are under- appreciated for the work. It takes lots of guts to pick- up and move everything. I had some unique times with 1250 Chinese kids per week. They wanted my autograph a lot....
Interesting interview. There is not a hell of a lot going on where you are, as in the rest of the world, but you seem to be pulling off some pretty decent videos in spite of that. Must be your creative mind working overtime. A super strange time to arrive in a new life in Thailand, for sure. Having you been going dry lately or did you stock up in anticipation? I can't imagine the horror of going through all this with no alcohol at all.
NZ is just too expensive to live but very beautiful. Thailand is great if you live outside of bangkok. I admire people that can just pick up and go. For her not being able to speak any Thai and just moved there is whole other level.
We could all use a little more patience and laid back attitude! You really have that vibe yourself, wonder if you have always been that way, or has the Thai/Eastern mentality really rubbed off on you?
What brought you to Thailand? My father spent a lot of time there in the service and my wife and I were there about 20 years ago. As I near retirement I am enjoying your videos....we may have to consider it....
She's a Kiwi masquerading as an Australian. That's like referring to a Canadian as an American. Not being hateful, just stating facts. She seems lovely, like most New Zealanders.
Nope, she was just living in NZ for like the last 6 months, I believe she's from Perth. I lived in Canada for years, even picked up some of the vernacular, I'm still American though..same, same.
You are definitely right about hot heart. They are certainly on their own schedule for things. Expecting dinner with a Thi friend. You may be waiting for a while.
13:45 - aproxx 14:45 I think that is a good reason for her to start a youtube channel to show people how it is for a non thai lady experience products, language, customs etc in thailand. Because if you search you always find men's channels.
A good interview Lucas, and you gave her time to answer. I always felt safe in Thailand, much safer than in a UK town! As to the things you wish you brought in hindsight, for me (and for a lot of other women out there) it would have to be bras cos the vast majority of Thai women are a lot smaller than Western women, and the shops don't cater for us.
Once the Locals know she's a Teacher she'll be the pride of the Neighborhood. Thai's have a great deal of respect for Teachers! Good luck! Thai schools require a very relaxed easy going attitude, lots of copying aka cheating and very few materials aka books. Some really great Kid's can make all the chaos worth while. Toughest Job on the Planet, dealing with other peoples rugrats
Best time to find a place to live, but yeah the wrong time to get a job. Also the language barrier, i have traveled alot in my life and it is nothing....i have been to many places where neither of us could understand even one word of what another said and did fine....vendors essentially only care that you have money and you want to buy what they have....being able to say the name of the item is actually meaningless....
Just wanted to say thanks for making the effort to find different topics to vlog on in this strange period. I do enjoy your videos and look forward to the time when the world is back open again and I can buy you a cold one. I'm currently stranded in th UK with my Thai partner and my 10 month old son in Thailand. The battle is real for so many people away from their loved one's. Something to take the mind off is much appreciated bud. Good luck to Jo 🤓
My daughter lives there and pays about $30 per month community fee. For that she gets security, gym, a club house, clean streets, and garbage pickup. In the USA i paid $75 a month just for gym access not to mention other expenses. But to each their own I say.
You can keep up with Jo and her adventures by following her on instagram: Find_Your_Flo_With_Jo

@Louis Kane It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account !

That heat i will never forget. When you leave cold Europe in december.
@@zh123456 Yes it's so nice. I do like the air-con though at the end of the day.
That first sensation of Thai humid air upon arrival feels like a welcome home
Very nice interview, appreciate it.
I’m very very enjoy your content!!

That was my thought, same with mayo.
Very interesting interview. Quite fascinating. Sounds like she will get along very well there in Thailand. All the best from Mike in San Diego

Definitely informative. Thank you. I'm getting tempted to move there or try it for at least 6 months.
Fantasic mate, great vlob. Good luck for the future.
Very informative, thanks!
He just wants her perspective....Atta boy...😎
8:14 short time and flexible.... Atta boy...🤩
We "hope" to be teaching again July 1st.
She is wonderful!!!
Nice to listen to Jo. Hey from Australia here as well. What was the website she mentioned?
Laura Dern " lookalike" .... nice

Why is coconut oil so expensive in the land of coconuts?
Its not~
It's not. But coconut oil in Western retail packaging is. Another thing requiring time and familiarity in order to get around.
The very first thing to do when you arrive in Thailand (after jetlag), is enroll in a good Thai language course, and take it seriously. It pays dividends, socially, culturally, and financially.

I know, it sounds ridiculous.
The coconut mafia is in Ratchaburi. I know one thing, their is a big boss there who controls all the trucking and processing labor racketeering for the plantations. The boss controls the price. Good guy to know if you want to be an international coconut king pin.
I paid one hundred baht for 100 ml of coconut oil. Pretty cheap.
Jo's a little ripper,a yoga on the beach video sounds freakin awesome! Go Jo!

Jo is very fortunate to have you as a friend . Wish her well
Thank You 🙏🙏

Wow nice girl - good luck Jo 💓 👍
Enjoyed another vid of yours. Looking forward for your next one.
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks a bunch.
She seems a really nice positive person, I hope it all works out, hope she gets that contract soon for her work visa 👍🏻
Beauty

love your channel, just that little bit different. Great interview, lovely lady.
👍👌👌👍👏👍👏👍👌👌👌👌From Argentina 🙋🙋🙋
🥝 Kiwi mmmm🤔
Easier in chiang mai for oils and that sort of stuff. Doritos $ jiff , people still eat that?
She seems like a very nice person, intelligent, very good looking... Thanx for finding her for me. :)
So, in reference to bringing stuff with you, such as deodorant, and other feminine products. You can't order that stuff on the internet and have it shipped to you?
Great Video🤙🏽
Good video I think you have a new friend. Of course one thing she didn’t have to adjust to that you did is the other side of the road.
Wow great interview
I wish you luck my friend!
How did you acquire your thai language capabilities...what suggestions can you provide?
that voice ... geezuz i could listen to her all nite
Good interview..
I'm a black man I cannot see myself living in Thailand. Shoot me a another video.
@@cbdgummieschannel he doesn't get it, he'll have to watch some Quinton TV. 👍
Dude you would love it in Thailand your just another foreigner! Try it would love it.
oh well who cares
@@KippaxInThailand thinking he does... 🤣
She was there 14 years old... she older than we think.. but what a babe!
Enjoyed nice job 👍
well if you move in the worst of times, when the best of times shows up you will appreciate it more.
So True 👍
What was the web site she went to find a job in Thailand?
KEEP SAFE
Antacids!
Now, she is a friend .... :)
Just go with it don't regret at all
your assistant V better watch out... Jo is a hotie with a beautiful accent. Would like to know how much she is paying for rent since she is your neighbor. Maybe all 3 of you can live together to save on rent (I am getting flashes of one of my favorite TV shows - Three's Company)
hahahaha
Hi Jo 🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺Gday from Cranbourne Victoria 👍⁉️
That's not irony!!
yup definatly sounds kiwi to me too.
Your interview stopped suddenly because you slipped her a length probably
what are ya..12yrs old or something
Is she an an addict?
She moved to a hoaring country....I mean foreign....
Hoary means grey or white.
I’m going to spare you my witty comments.
Coconut oil is super cheap in thailand compared to Australia, just have to go to Big C or Tesco Lotus
.....I taught English overseas also, so I feel for the teachers. I was in China, but the experience would be similar. English teachers are under- appreciated for the work. It takes lots of guts to pick- up and move everything. I had some unique times with 1250 Chinese kids per week. They wanted my autograph a lot....
why all the stevie wonder head rolling, you should look at the camera when you are talking to an audience, she is cute you naughty boy
Nice Interview. You asked good questions. Jo had good answers.I wouldn't mind a friendship with Jo seems a cool lady. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🙏
Interesting interview. There is not a hell of a lot going on where you are, as in the rest of the world, but you seem to be pulling off some pretty decent videos in spite of that.

Lol, not dry yet, but I'm heading in that direction. Thanks for watching.

Nice video sir! We are living in Bangkok too. Missing travel in Thailand. Stay safe:)
Lovely Lady. If she reads all of these comments it should boost her self esteem. We are infatuated.
She's a Kiwi masquerading as an Australian. That's like referring to a Canadian as an American. Not being hateful, just stating facts. She seems lovely, like most New Zealanders.
Oh, and half my family are Canadian born, so I'm not hating on them either.
Nope, she was just living in NZ for like the last 6 months, I believe she's from Perth. I lived in Canada for years, even picked up some of the vernacular, I'm still American though..same, same.
Mea culpa.
She certainly picked up NZ twang
I'm curious how you can teach people anything without speaking the language?? Tough gig 🤦🏽♂️
You are definitely right about hot heart. They are certainly on their own schedule for things. Expecting dinner with a Thi friend. You may be waiting for a while.
I never had a problem with immigration, except what i saw them do to other people.
Cool new perspective on moving to Thailand Thanks Lucas 👍🤗
Man youre the nicest guy on TH-cam, you have that vibe going on. LOVE IT!
I’m going to retire but I looked at teaching English there but no one is hiring due to the economy .
If she starts a channel please update us.
U speak aussie fair dinkum
You are very shy ☺️ Jim
i make hand party
Good interview, welcome to Thailand
สัมภาษณ์ที่ดียินดีต้อนรับสู่ประเทศไทย
Here is easy
Has she started work yet?
She moved to Phuket, follow her on Instagram - find your flo with jo 👍
13:45 - aproxx 14:45 I think that is a good reason for her to start a youtube channel to show people how it is for a non thai lady experience products, language, customs etc in thailand. Because if you search you always find men's channels.

what thai like is her hair color and her white skin
She has all the right qualities. She teaches English and is very flexible and loves BangKOK!!

If your teaching English and do not know the Thai language how do you communicate with your pupils? Do you have a translator in your class?
I wish her well my heart goes out to her, schools are going to open up best wishes. Dude put peanuts in a blender hit frappe.
Also wondering about the visa thing. What's the easiest (cheapest) way to go there with the idea of staying if ones SS income is around $500?
Wonderful interview, I am thinking of moving there but not too sure, until Jo full fill my desire. Thanks
Your voice is very soothing.
Every video I wait for you to pop up an easel and start painting a mountain landscape 😁

Hope all is well and safe! Quick question: did you do the voice for the bits and bites commercial in the 90’s?
🚘---@19:00,,,Ha Ha..all guys are like bffftf....next question??
Can you not get some things, like shoes and health supplements, via online sites such as Amazon?
