we are off to phuket for the third time in 2 weeks since first watching this video. taught me the tricks of what to watch out for. thanks and hope you're getting better.
This is so informative. Loving these vlogs so much. I watch one every night before bed to unwind. I’d love to see the wild monkeys but can’t handle the tiger places where they may be drugged out and exploited and stuff… Same with the elephants unless it’s a sanctuary but then, how do you really know the sanctuaries really have the animals’ best interests in mind? Anyways…. Driver dude was giving sheister vibes. Lol… Funny. You were very sweet about it and handled it well with patience and kindness. Happy travels my friend! 💛🙈🙉🙊🐵💛
The driver was annoying me so much lol… I would have just said ok no worries thank you and got another driver side of the road or anywhere I wouldn’t care 😂
Oh My God ! I'm grateful you were calm and collected throughout all his hustling attempts. I'd also like to know of affordable hotels, B&B's, air B&B's, especially in Phuket ???
FYI, the gun ranges sometimes scam by giving people mostly blanks. It saves money because there is not lead. Also, the shooter gets frustrated by not "hitting the target" and will want to practice more.
I had the same thing outside Prague . One of our guys was ex military and after one shot looked at the magazine and because it was a stag party who were pissed off they changed the magazines of about 20% of the party . Its not about lead ,it's about people wanting another go like you said because they look like twats in front of their mates .
In Phuket it’s a fine line between scam and trying to rip off tourists. They assume you don’t know anything. Very interesting when they realize you speak thai and know how the locals call places 😂 at least try khao rang instead of monkey hill 🙏
Thanks man! Yeah just check reviews and make sure they are legit … it’s like $6 a day and you need to take a video of the bike before to show any existing damage
When you go up to the big Budda there is an awesome restaurant halfway down near the Elephants and ATVs I think is called mountain view or mountain side restaurant. We had an awesome lunch there even though the people serving were kind of stand offish.
What a run around & props to you for having so much patience!! I’m thinking maybe he was trying to tell you not to go there for the monkeys could steal your money before he could bring you to all those other places. On one hand he was trying to do you a favor 😉
Hahaha I thought it was really funny! I’m actually right here now where I filmed that, this is my holiday spot. Hopefully you watch my new upcoming Thailand videos 😀
At least now the mangum almonds are affordale lol at $1.20. I miss BIG C and jungceylon mall and Rawei fish markets, maybe i should go this year hmmmmm
Hilarious when you asked the Jeweller for something more expensive like 1m local . The monkeys in the UK ( Gibraltar) are exactly the same up on the rock . Its not a problem when they take your lunch but everytime ive been there some lady has her handbag taken with everything in it . Tourists are so thick its unbelievable
I think MOST countries do this. NO ENGLISH, NO ENGLISH, meantime they speak perfect English. Mexico is defiantly one. It's GREAT if they don't keep raising the money rate. You got to see many unusual things that you would not have got to see. Thanks so much.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Marco you were decent,courteous ,well behaved with no sign of profanities untillll🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...the ending was respectable😇...much love and keep on shining🤍🕊
@@marcoroams I appreciate the reply. Found your channel yesterday and have been watching all your content lol! Hope your journey and channel prospers mate! Watching from Michigan, U.S.
@@adamsfamilynfun1409 haha thanks man I love that! Looking forward to seeing it grow, it’s been slow but have new people finding each day! Thank you, and I’ll be there next year 🇺🇸
I booked a Phuket city trip. Next day they picked me up with a van. Same spots as in the video here. Then cashew nut factory, honey factory, which were shops !!! a setup. In the itenery there was a 'coffee-break' free coffee. The biggest jewelry-shop I have ever seen !!! Busses full of tourists. To me a waste of precious time, and still a scam !!!
Haha I'm laughing my ass off at 7 minutes 15 when he's with the elephants the lady said hee big cock (sounds like "ham jai") is of course spelled differently in Thai. Greetings from Germany in five days I'll be flying down for the third time in four months for another five weeks then that's good for this year ;-)
Oh, man. I am just laughing my head off and had to pause the video to comment... you ask for Monkey Hill and the next moment you are having your photo with an eagle, then visiting elephants, and then seeing you at a shooting range made me pause the video as it was getting rediculous. At least I know what is waiting for me when I get there. Now back to the video...
Be always careful with the monkeys, they can carry rabies, and that is not fun. And do not support the animal abusers at Karon viewpoint (or elsewere).
I think he wanted to take u to few places as just going to only 1 place he didn’t get enough money. Just like taking people to airport, they have to drive there long way and then going back to where he was. That’s why he wanted to force u to going to few places. I would use Uber
if you wanna go shooting just come visit me and we can get you a few hundred rounds of .22 for the same price here in the states. actually, i have everything they had on that little menu and more, and we could take em out in the desert and do some target practice, maybe shoot some tannerite (explodes when shot), then once it starts getting later we could put the firearms away, pull out the beers and liquor, and grill up a bunch of food and do a bonfire party out in the desert. let me know when you want me to set things up lol oh, and there are some cool things to see pretty near here, like Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands, the best place in the world to get chile...
@ I was in bands from 16 to 22 bunch of sketchy bands in the US, constantly breaking up from members getting into drugs. I sang for WithinTheRuins for a little bit. I always wanted to go on tour. They wanted me to go on a tour in Germany but I had just bought a house and had to decline.
@@Ryan-wi3ry ahhh nice man! I have a whole stack of friends who have made it and play the biggest festivals all through Europe and USA! It’s really cool to see they all come from my town ✌🏼
@@marcoroams yea it’s cool. Don’t make enough money for a living in most cases though. But it’s good times I’m sure. You are doing a great job. I’ve binge watched your videos for the past few days. Makes me feel like I’m there with ya. I’m heading to the phillipines in March for a month. Gonna start in Naga city.
I really hope for the sake of my daughter, who was watching this (for the monkeys) with me, you really didn't take the offer of the all inclusive massage because you seem waaaaay too decent for that kind of thing. She is a bit young and naive and just learnt a bit more about the perils of trying to earn a crust for some women in Thailand. Travel teaches you a lot.
haha.....the author almost got attacked by the monkeys near the end of the video. Maybe he did, hard to see. But anyways, if I go there for sure I'll buy the slingshot the teens were selling at the front.

I actually found it so funny by half way through, when I realised I had great footage 😂
am so happy I found your channel..thankyou.great advice!
you killed me when you kept calling those monkeys 'you little shits' lmao xD hope you had a blast buddy cheers!
Haha I felt like the were little kids bullying me 🥲
@@marcoroams hahaha well i'm sure you can handle them :D take good care of yourself mate
The driver was annoying me so much lol… I would have just said ok no worries thank you and got another driver side of the road or anywhere I wouldn’t care 😂
Hahaha nah they are all connected!
I tried that once and they all agree to have set prices and talk amongst their network, they are a TukTuk gang 😂
Exactly peace out tuk tuk p

myPatong Hostel is 499 THB per night for a private room.
Bukk Inn in Phuket is great for the money, plus staff is nice and close to clean beach like Kamala beach.

Is that why I seemed to miss them all? lol … where did the holes come from?
I'm not saying that they are all blanks, but lead cost money and it's cheaper to give you mostly blanks.@@marcoroams
Thanks Marco! Will bw in Thailand Phuket very soon. This will come in handy! 🎉🎉🎉
Awwww nice!! Enjoy 😁🙌🏽
@@marcoroams are you still in Thailand?
@MariaKeswell nah left months ago
@@marcoroams awww too bad!
In Phuket it’s a fine line between scam and trying to rip off tourists. They assume you don’t know anything. Very interesting when they realize you speak thai and know how the locals call places 😂 at least try khao rang instead of monkey hill 🙏
Hey Marco! Nice and hilarious video 🤣! I'll be going there next month. Any advice for renting a scooter/motorcycle in Patong beach?
Thanks man!
Yeah just check reviews and make sure they are legit … it’s like $6 a day and you need to take a video of the bike before to show any existing damage
THAT MONKEY PART WAS TOO TOO TOO ADORABLE FOR WORDS!!!!😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
So, you tell the driver where to go and he just takes you on his tour regardless
Haha yeah, but it was funny
I SCREAMED when you put on the music. I did not expect that.
Dude you are funny how you trolled that jewerly guy lol i hate sales pressure
Hahaha I just went along with it 😁
When you go up to the big Budda there is an awesome restaurant halfway down near the Elephants and ATVs I think is called mountain view or mountain side restaurant. We had an awesome lunch there even though the people serving were kind of stand offish.

He didn't take you to a tailor's shop to buy multiple suits ... wtf?
Must be just a Bali thing.
Hahaha I know right

He was so pissed that he didn't want to go to the monkey show. That was going to be the highlight of his day.
F around and find out in land of scams.

Haha classic tuktuk ride
the monkey just explained addiction in a nutshell
Haha yep!
Nice video, the massage place at the end is actually nice, its "the sky thai massage" at 9/18 ซอยศักดิเดช 1 ต Phuket
That's why you hire a car for 7000 baht for a few days with full coverage haha.
"100 baht... to see an eagle... why not " 🤣
😂😂😂
Haha I'm laughing my ass off at 7 minutes 15 when he's with the elephants the lady said hee big cock (sounds like "ham jai") is of course spelled differently in Thai. Greetings from Germany in five days I'll be flying down for the third time in four months for another five weeks then that's good for this year ;-)

Hahaha man it’s the funniest video!! 😂
There’s no such thing as a simple tutktuk ride!
He would drive me nuts lol
How good was he! 😂😂😂
@@marcoroams 😂🤣
😂😂😂😂😂 nah buddy you wanted monkey fk'n hill..!!! You got it🦧
kkkkkkkkkkkkk, he pretending that he was understanding nothing is hilarious
I thought it was pretty hilarious…
Awesome
That's what I call a Prick-Shaw driver...🤣
Hahaha love it
Maybe this is a dumb question but was this full service massage all about having sex?
Hahahah yea… that’s exactly why he took me there
@@marcoroams nice, might be a bit tempting but you probably no trouble getting the babes.
Hahaha … I definitely don’t pay for it 😂
@@marcoroams My man
Them monkeys - from shotgunnin soft drinks, then coffee, then stealing sandwiches to being drug dealers. Life 🤣
Haha they are outta control!!
Crazy Hilarious passenger and a Crazy mad driver 😂
😂😂😂
I know monkeys from Bali. They'll grab everything they see. Go in your pockets, steals bags, and even grab your camera!
Yeah I know! They are a different breed in Bali 😂
Bro my family like your video also .
Hahaha good 😊 😍
Be always careful with the monkeys, they can carry rabies, and that is not fun.
And do not support the animal abusers at Karon viewpoint (or elsewere).
whats i like there ive been wanting to go
It’s the best! My favourite country so far
brother thanks to you...i am set on going to monkey mountain armed with some nice sativa and sit there , again ty sir
Haha good! Have a good time, it’s a fun place 🙌🏽😁
Wow did not like this driver. Very very pushy. say thanks mate and get out. Sorry but he was a creep .
I think he wanted to take u to few places as just going to only 1 place he didn’t get enough money. Just like taking people to airport, they have to drive there long way and then going back to where he was. That’s why he wanted to force u to going to few places. I would use Uber
But he clearly said they were going the opposite direction
would be difficult for solo female traveller
Best to rent a bike and drive yourself. More sightseeing, less BS!
funny you say they can train them to carry...there is an antiquited law that says a baboon can carry lol
if you wanna go shooting just come visit me and we can get you a few hundred rounds of .22 for the same price here in the states.
actually, i have everything they had on that little menu and more, and we could take em out in the desert and do some target practice, maybe shoot some tannerite (explodes when shot), then once it starts getting later we could put the firearms away, pull out the beers and liquor, and grill up a bunch of food and do a bonfire party out in the desert.

Fuck yea. I used to be in hardcore metal type bands. I sang. That’s funny.
That’s sick! Which one? Maybe I know it … I even listening to heavy music since 2005

I went too monkey hill!! No monkeys 🙈
I was gutted 😆
Whaaaat! Did you go all the way to the top? That’s where they usually are
I just hire my own scooter for 200 baht a day and zap around the island by myself and my mate.
💯 I do that now! Way better … I never used scooters back then but it’s a game changer for sure
i'm laughing the video
😁
that driver is a real friend
🤣 priceless

Haha I didn’t even get a massage, I just did it for the video.
From memory didn’t I say that in the video?
He full of shit he had the full service
My wife and I got similarly scammed in Bangkok. It turned out to be a great afternoon of fun seeing some second tier sites!
Hahaha yeah I didn’t mind the scam, it was really funny for the video
😂😂
i WOULD HAVE BEEN ROPABLE MATE
😂😂😂
That was set up feel bad and give money
You sound like Ozzie
Haha yep!
1 million baht 😂😂😂

THIS TUK TUK IS NOT REAL FILIPINO, HE'S PROBABLY INDIA OR THAI THE ACCENT
Sus nako ate nasa thailand yan hindi sa pilipinas nako naman basahin mo muna yung caption di kaba nakaka intindi
He is definitely not an Indian.
Hahaha this was filmed in Thailand
Deficit really sucks! Satan music! What’s with the “all seeing eye” on your arm? Xx
people in tondo are more friendly than those little bermin monkey doo funny the little guy tries to grab yo behind

😂😂😂 yes I was definitely attacked!
Best monkey video I have seen!
Thank you! I wish more people would watch
Lot of monkey-ing around in this one.
I'm from southern thailand, this tuk tuk driver's accent is hillarious , that's the way southern thais speak english.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha he’s funny! 😁
