I’m actually really upset we never filmed 'How Many Massage Girls Can Fit in the Sparky.' That would have been a cracker video, bro! We’ve got to think of a new challenge.
Jonny driving a jetski around Hua Hin bay while towing one of those inflatable lie low soapy mats with the Esquire on it with some hottie getting a rub down 🌊💦😃
So Long Sparky. I miss seeing you going around Thailand. I am returning to Malaysia in Jan and hope to catch you. I can get you front seats at concerts when beautiful girls sing.
Esquire, what an episode getting rid of Sparky. Do you stay in touch with Tida or know where she is or what she is doing?? All part of the journey buddy, that give us the character we have! Stay safe 🇦🇺🇦🇺
I've lived two years in Istanbul and i know these things happen there but from personal experience i have never had an issue anywhere in the city. But yes these things happen and its so unfortunate that it happened to one of the nicest bloke like LJ.
Sorry to hear your dental excursion in Turkey bombed. I get all my medical procedures done in Bangkok. I return every 3 months for various checkups b/c its so cheap and high quality I decided to get everything done.
Esquire’s back like a bomb . Glad you survived the robbery in Turkey and didn’t do the veneers there. Go to Bangkok international dental clinic if you still want veneers very reasonable prices . USA trained dentists there too. Cheers mate good to see your back!
Whew! My brother...you were just writing to me about Sparky. Almost the same thing happened to me. Hard saying good bye after all the capers you go through with a great set of wheels man. So many memories....jeez...Things will get better. Many blessings on you brother. Big Love...Action Jackson n' Erika Amerika
Glad to 👂 hear that THE ESQUIRE avoided a hairy situation in Turkey. Truth be told, I’m not surprised you got out of that situation, you do have a bit of the 007 mystique
With your teeth just get them cleaned every 3 months which is easy in Thailand. I think you have some chemistry with the Filipinas (and Thais) that makes for good vlogging. Can’t go wrong with a Sheila on your arm and it keeps us all entertained.
That's a pretty good price - considering. I have veneers and it takes a few days for the technicians to make and shape them. Honestly, if you really want to have them get them done in Thailand. I've never had dental work in Chiang Mai - but Hua Hin or BKK is good. CNX is lovely. Very slow pace. It's like a big university town - Like Armidale in NSW.
I love Asia and have always felt safe on my own at all times of the day. Sadly I cannot say the same for Central Asia where there is no respect for visitors; they just see us as targets and an opportunity to rip us off, or worse as you experienced. Glad you made your quick escape from the thieves and from that country. Your fitness regime really paid off 🙏
First time in chaing mai last week, turned up from Pattaya and honestly I was shocked at how quiet in the old town, it just felt too quiet. However, a day later and I was loving it, at Huay Kaey waterfall and up the mountain, and then Loi Kroh at night, which was busy with many food courts and markets!
Hey LJ, good to see you in good health and spirits !! Well sorry to see Sparky go but he kept you and your passengers safe for many adventures. Job well done Sparky !! Glad he's getting the tear down and rehab instead of being used for parts. In the 2 years I lived in Thailand recently I never made it up to Chiang Mai. I wanted to go there on a bike and I had my own new Click 160... but just before leaving I found a place in Pattaya that rented Honda and Kawasaki 650's for 7,000 a month. Much better for the big tours. Next time !! I came back to the US for a cancer operation... my Pacific Cross insurance that I paid $3,000 for reneged on paying for cancer treatment even though I never had anything remotely like that as a pre-condition. I'll start working on that bit of insurance fraud once I'm done with medical here.
Really sorry to hear of your experience in Istanbul, and glad you survived physically intact. It reminded me of the only time I got mugged - and how it took me quite some time to get over the shock. Like you, I was probably doing the wrong thing, and not picking up on the danger signals, so it's kind of reassuring it happened to someone as smart and experienced as you!
So long Sparky, the Esquire's ready to upgrade his wheels to a Benz or BMW and cruise the high life. LJ's no turkey for the shenanigans in Turkey, outsmarted and outfoxed those would-be thieves like nobody's business! Good on ya, keep these adventures rollin' mate 💪🏻
Well that was a close call friend...so glad you made it out of there unhurt. You now realize that you cannot be too careful traveling to foreign lands, you are on their turf and things can turn ugly pretty quickly. And you were super smart by running and not getting into a physical altercation, although we know you can handle yourself, you would have been at the merci of that country and their legal system - wouldn't have ended well as you can imagine. Yeah, I would say that was God was intervening and sending you back home, so a blessing in disguise for sure. Happened to my sister and her family in Italy, Venice to be exact, when they were confronted by a cab driver, who wanted money even before providing them a ride, but thankfully they were not hurt. Asian is full of super kind people and I do love it there; I guess the Philippines holds a special place in my heart. Stay safe and happy Esquire...Cheers!
I have veneers on my front teeth and I had it done at the Dentistry college at UCLA. I had broken and chipped teeth and the veneers made them look brand new. I have them on 6 teeth and the process took many weeks and it was a painful process. I was told that the bonding agent only last about 10-15 years, but I still have them 22 years later. Esquire, your teeth look much nicer then my were. I would suggest using the Colgate teeth whitening strips. Take a before and after photo to see your progress. I'm sorry to see Sparkly go... ☮
Hi, I am from Turkey. I'm sorry to hear that you had a really bad experience while you were here. Unfortunately, Turkey is experiencing a rise in crime, and it's the truth that even Turkish people don’t always feel safe on the streets. I've been watching you for a long time, and like you, I feel very safe in Thailand and other Asian countries at night. However, I can't say the same for my country anymore. If you're considering coming back to Istanbul, I would love to guide you around. Again, I’m really sorry about what happened to you in Turkey.
Hello mate, thank you for sharing this with me and for the kind offer to show me around. I never say never so who knows maybe something will take me back someday. Until then SE Asia is for me. Blessings 🙏🏻
Hi Mate ! I'm in Chiang Mai too. Got to see you !! I've been here for 3 weeks. Love it too ! Just got back from Chiang Rai last night. Tell me where you are. Tomorrow going to Doi Inthanon full day. Back at 6h00 pm
"She's Fark3d"??? - Your objective, dispassionate, no-nonsense assessment of that beautiful mechanical beast is a masterclass in true automotive diplomacy! Please come back to Aussie land, mate, and give our politicians a crash course in genuine Aussie diplomacy. Great vlog, as always!
They came at you like a bomb in Turkey .Its your undoubted magnetism .lol . I will be spending a day and night in Istanbul next month on the way to Thailand so your experience has been concerned .I have been to Turkey around 18 months ago to Marmarus a coastal resort and big tourist spot and felt very safe there.
I got some fantastic veneers done in Pattaya at Dental Smile Pattaya, right on Third Road. Extremely good price and service. If you wanna change gears and get it done there, they can probably set you up in about a week or 10 days.
Don't worry, I was robbed in Istanbul, long story short, spent remaining three days on the Airbnb rooftop for the views and house cat. Got my credit card refund when I returned to USA. Such a shame since I love Shawarma. Big thumbs down.
Great vegan/vegetarian restaurants in Baguio. It's kind of cool weather there this time of the year. Have you considered writing an e-book about vegan restaurants in Southeast Asia?
Hey buddy, I did visit Baguio many years ago. Cool and interesting place and I did find some outstanding vegan food restaurants there. Would love to get back there someday. Not sure about ebook video content is more my things. Cheers mate 👍🏻
That stuff can happen anywhere, I'm a fairly big 6'3" 225 and went to train jiu jitsu in Sao Paulo, Brazil and had a couple idiots try a move like that. I was with 8-10 other guys (Brazilian) from the Gracie Barra gym I was training at. We went to a restaurant/bar and after a couple hours I went outside for some air and these guys hanging outside the bar started asking me for my money and just kept pushing thinking I was alone. One of the guys I was with came out of the bar and immediately got in their face. Then the whole bar was outside, the morons ran off but if I wasn't with anyone I could see where I'd have had to run into the bar and who knows what would have happened.
Sorry to hear about your experience in Turkey. It would have been very frightening. Add also the stress of your beloved car. Wow been dealt a whammy recently. Your resilience to bounce back is admirable. Feel the fear and do it anyway as they say. But okay to feel a little shell shocked after it all. Take care.
Hey esquire, glad you got out without too much fuss....sad place we sometimes live in....I'm off to Vietnam in May - Ho Chi Minh City (3 days) - Da Nang (2 days) - Hanoi (3 days) is that a good spread or am I missing something?
Your attackers in Turkey, may not have been Turkish. Many migrants and Roma running wild. With regards to cosmetic dentistry, I recommend Budapest in Hungary. Reasonably priced, but much more safer and civilised. Do a good job too.
Gday Nigel, the guys in the restaurant did mention to me that these people were not Turkish. one thing i didnt mention in my video was this dental was all going to be free, including my accommodation, in exchange for producing the video. that was the reason i was going thru with it otherwise not in a hurry. Thanks mate. ✌
The care looks stuffed did you have insurance on it? I saw some cars and bikes near me in Saraphi totally under water during the flood. Hey when you own a car and no loans it's easy to cross the borders? Yes remember the videos of you travelling around in it during Covid. Yes there is a Temple in Chiang Mai we sometimes goto that is also connected to a school and orphanage and all donations to the temple goto feeding the kids and putting them through school and giving them education.
LJ, have you ever thought about trying out live-streaming? Maybe on Kick? I know a lot of your fellow TH-camrs that have moved over to that full time. Might be fun to give it a shot. Safe travels mate.
Mate I got my teeth done in Pattaya 4 years ago , cost me AUD 3K against $12k in Melbourne best investment ever, so they are my new dentists and never had an issue , I recall asking him what car he drove got a strange look and said a Mazda 2 why ?? I knew I was in the right place whereas the Melbourne dentist was rocking a AMG Merc😁
I bet when Sparky left, so did a part of your relationship with Tita, which I guess is a good thing? I was a bit sad to see Sparky go, as your travels with Tita were fun to watch.
and filming in public in Turkey, I thought you were gonna say you got arrested and put in gaol. Cos some countries are suss and feel insecure. They put their journos and academics in gaol when the PM got into power.
As an Australian Turk sorry you had to experience that in Istanbul. Turkey is going through an economic crisis and tourist are being targeted unfortunately
Hi LJ, please see Australian in the Philopines, a TH-camr got shot & put on a boat +There is a Typhoon Leon extreme winds, Take Care🙏💖 & What are the Vegan Options- I thought they mainly eat Pork or fish?
Was recently in Istanbul 9 days ended with a hair transplant. Had no issues. Infact it was final leg of a 3 country trip. The only city i did not see one homeless person nor beggars. I wouldnt do dental in Turkey but for hair transplant it was a good experience
@JamesKerwin - Hmm I was in Eminonu often, didn't really see it. The closest thing to a beggar I encountered was a guy trying to sell perfumes to me and were actually authentic not knock offs. Few days later saw same guy trying to peddle his perfumes to another tourist (that's it didn't see one homeless guy). I partied in Beyoglu leaving the club past 4:00 am walking to nearest tram by myself through side streets etc, no problems. I was in Philippines obviously plenty of homelessness and beggars and scammers, , and in Hong Kong I was in Central and Sheung Wan saw maybe 4 homeless people, no beggars and nothing there to worry about neither.
A tender sentimental farewell to old "Sparky". Things come and go in life. As long as you still have your guitar, all will be fine, mate. BTW, whatever happened with that bird from the Philippines?
Pity about the Istanbul experience. It's my favourite country. Great food, people, culture and energy. Wish I was still there, I could have shown you around.
Honestly LJ, people in turkiye are generally very welcoming, very nice. Everybody in Europe goes there and have wonderful trip. I did a tour ouf the whole country a few years ago, and I rarely felt so comfortable. I don't doubt what you lived was awful, but maybe you hit the 0.001% of bad luck on this... I think you won't go again, but I wish you will. And I'm french, not even turkish xD
It would be nice if you can hit up your old flame mate, is she still there?... That would be classic..❤️. Great videos as always. You need to make more. 👍
@@EsquireUnlimited Classic. I started watching because she was hot. Then I realized you were a good guy so I have watched your adventures ever since. Keep the Vlogs coming.
I shed a tear when Sparky departed 😢. Good deal for the motorcycle even though its a girls one 😅. I've been to Thailand 9 times but not been to Chang Mai yet looking forward to it. Turkey hmm not sure I'll ever bother going there tbh. Stick to The Land of Smiles mate 🇹🇭 . 🍻
Thanks for watching! For behind the scenes, daily updates, and extra content, follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/esquireunlimited
I’m actually really upset we never filmed 'How Many Massage Girls Can Fit in the Sparky.' That would have been a cracker video, bro! We’ve got to think of a new challenge.
RIP Sparky and potential massage girl marathon 🥇
Lol, If that had actually happened, then maybe we would be calling it Spunky! 😂
How many massage girls to give Sparky a proper Soapy???
Jonny driving a jetski around Hua Hin bay while towing one of those inflatable lie low soapy mats with the Esquire on it with some hottie getting a rub down 🌊💦😃
Now you’re talkin Esquire, but swap the jet ski for a no-wake foil board, massage girl won’t get so wet. Or maybe that was your plan?
Reminds me of you and Tida traveling together...lovely times. But the future is bright.
Such great memories with Sparky and Tida.
Thats what got me hooked on this channel, miss seeing them
Where is Tida. Miss seeing her and hope all is well with her.
So Long Sparky. I miss seeing you going around Thailand. I am returning to Malaysia in Jan and hope to catch you. I can get you front seats at concerts when beautiful girls sing.
@@dennisgonya4500 She ran a way with some other dude.
@@sunnyandrein6868 Yep...
Esquire, what an episode getting rid of Sparky.
Do you stay in touch with Tida or know where she is or what she is doing?? All part of the journey buddy, that give us the character we have!
Stay safe 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Seeing Sparky brought back great memories of following you guys around on your road trips. Sad to see her go, but happy she will be taken care of!
I just had spinal surgery in Istanbul great results My Turkish wife was born there
So true about the people of Chang Mai being really nice and helpful been there twice and enjoy the place.
Glad your safe from your ordeal in Turkey. Been enjoying your videos for years now. Stay safe. Greetings from Washington State USA.
I've lived two years in Istanbul and i know these things happen there but from personal experience i have never had an issue anywhere in the city. But yes these things happen and its so unfortunate that it happened to one of the nicest bloke like LJ.

Cheers mate good to see your back!
yes I agree, many great dentists in thailand. if I decide to do it one day it will likely be there and not so rushed. cheers mate 👍🏻
Agreed glad you didn't do that in Turkey! Heard a lot of horror stories for Dental work.
Good to see you back. Turkey has not dimmed your optimism.
Whew! My brother...you were just writing to me about Sparky. Almost the same thing happened to me. Hard saying good bye after all the capers you go through with a great set of wheels man.

Happy to know you're in one piece mate, and happier to hear you'll be back in the Philippines. Cheers LJ!
Always loving your videos from here kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪 since 2020
Thank you for your videos, i am so glad you are back with your video. Best positive man on the web.
Sad to see Sparky go. Your teeth look fine, save your money and forget the veneers.
Glad you and your chompers are safe mate.
Those musicians are blind. Good to see the esquire back, enjoying the content!

Good stuff mate. Nice to see you back on home soil!

Love the video. Nothing wrong with the teeth. Keep having fun from Perth

thank you my friend
@@EsquireUnlimitedgood to see you back enjoy your video from New Zealand
Blessed ❤
Welcome back missed ya mate
I got some fantastic veneers done in Pattaya at Dental Smile Pattaya, right on Third Road. Extremely good price and service. If you wanna change gears and get it done there, they can probably set you up in about a week or 10 days.
LJ,you rock! Sorry about Sparky. Peace ❤
You sum your situation up quickly and scarpered.must be a bad area if they hung outside the restaurant.
Happy you safe and wiser.
I guarantee those guys will have Sparky up and running in less than 3 days LJ!
Don't worry, I was robbed in Istanbul, long story short, spent remaining three days on the Airbnb rooftop for the views and house cat. Got my credit card refund when I returned to USA. Such a shame since I love Shawarma. Big thumbs down.
Great vegan/vegetarian restaurants in Baguio. It's kind of cool weather there this time of the year. Have you considered writing an e-book about vegan restaurants in Southeast Asia?
Hey buddy, I did visit Baguio many years ago. Cool and interesting place and I did find some outstanding vegan food restaurants there. Would love to get back there someday. Not sure about ebook video content is more my things. Cheers mate 👍🏻
Good decision about bailing out of Turkey. Thank God you weren't hurt. Don't fix what isn't broke. Great vids.
That stuff can happen anywhere, I'm a fairly big 6'3" 225 and went to train jiu jitsu in Sao Paulo, Brazil and had a couple idiots try a move like that. I was with 8-10 other guys (Brazilian) from the Gracie Barra gym I was training at.

I have thoroughly enjoyed your video since you began. I am in Rayong but will be in Chiang Mai from the 15th to the 25th. Let's golf 🙃
vegan life yooo,peace lj\love your nature and spiritual practical insights
whoooaooo
Sorry to hear about your experience in Turkey. It would have been very frightening. Add also the stress of your beloved car. Wow been dealt a whammy recently. Your resilience to bounce back is admirable. Feel the fear and do it anyway as they say. But okay to feel a little shell shocked after it all. Take care.
Hey esquire, glad you got out without too much fuss....sad place we sometimes live in....I'm off to Vietnam in May - Ho Chi Minh City (3 days) - Da Nang (2 days) - Hanoi (3 days) is that a good spread or am I missing something?
Your attackers in Turkey, may not have been Turkish. Many migrants and Roma running wild. With regards to cosmetic dentistry, I recommend Budapest in Hungary. Reasonably priced, but much more safer and civilised. Do a good job too.
That's what I was thinking, especially with women involved, plenty of desperate blow ins in Istanbul these days.
Gday Nigel, the guys in the restaurant did mention to me that these people were not Turkish. one thing i didnt mention in my video was this dental was all going to be free, including my accommodation, in exchange for producing the video. that was the reason i was going thru with it otherwise not in a hurry. Thanks mate. ✌
@EsquireUnlimited hopefully somebody got them on video at some stage.
Really enjoyable vlog LJ 👍 I probably need to start traveling with you as your Security lol 😂
The care looks stuffed did you have insurance on it? I saw some cars and bikes near me in Saraphi totally under water during the flood. Hey when you own a car and no loans it's easy to cross the borders? Yes remember the videos of you travelling around in it during Covid. Yes there is a Temple in Chiang Mai we sometimes goto that is also connected to a school and orphanage and all donations to the temple goto feeding the kids and putting them through school and giving them education.
Hi LJ I know it brings back sad memories life goes on cobba 🇦🇺
Have a nice day in Chiang Mai 🤗😊👍❤️🎉🎊
Excellent Show
LJ, have you ever thought about trying out live-streaming? Maybe on Kick? I know a lot of your fellow TH-camrs that have moved over to that full time. Might be fun to give it a shot. Safe travels mate.
Man glad you weren’t hurt!
Mate I got my teeth done in Pattaya 4 years ago , cost me AUD 3K against $12k in Melbourne best investment ever, so they are my new dentists and never had an issue , I recall asking him what car he drove got a strange look and said a Mazda 2 why ?? I knew I was in the right place whereas the Melbourne dentist was rocking a AMG Merc😁
I bet when Sparky left, so did a part of your relationship with Tita, which I guess is a good thing? I was a bit sad to see Sparky go, as your travels with Tita were fun to watch.
Oooh you’ll have to let us know if he was able to fix, please
I passed by the mechanic a few days after this was filmed, they had sparky in many pieces. not sure the exact issues but it looked like a big job.
@ 😳
Hi esquire..I got my dental treatment in costarica...great place to explore.tks
Sparky will be fixed and run smoothly, these Thai mechanics are very good. You might even want to buy it back when you see it again.
Good Bye Sparky you will be missed !
With Sparky and Tita.. Those were some epic vids 😂
This episode should be called Sparky: Plowing A Muddy Field. 😂😂😂
Been in Turkey many times, haven't faced an issue so far. Sorry for you though
and filming in public in Turkey, I thought you were gonna say you got arrested and put in gaol. Cos some countries are suss and feel insecure. They put their journos and academics in gaol when the PM got into power.
If your happy with price doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks👍
you be shock changes in pi ..be so careful your surroundings esquire good to see ya again..sorry bout sparky..
As an Australian Turk sorry you had to experience that in Istanbul. Turkey is going through an economic crisis and tourist are being targeted unfortunately
Esquire for president 2024
Bye Sparky !...time for new memories brother !
A blessing in disguise LJ? Bet it put the shits up you though. 'Midnight Express' put me off Turkey. Stay safe mate🙏👍
Hi LJ, please see Australian in the Philopines, a TH-camr got shot & put on a boat +There is a Typhoon Leon extreme winds, Take Care🙏💖 & What are the Vegan Options- I thought they mainly eat Pork or fish?
Hey brother how are you . Happy to see you again . Soon going to Thailand I wishhhhhhh to meet you there if you don't mind 😁Egypt
Was recently in Istanbul 9 days ended with a hair transplant. Had no issues. Infact it was final leg of a 3 country trip. The only city i did not see one homeless person nor beggars. I wouldnt do dental in Turkey but for hair transplant it was a good experience
There is a huge increasing homeless population. Eninonu/Galata Bridge and Sisli
@JamesKerwin - Hmm I was in Eminonu often, didn't really see it. The closest thing to a beggar I encountered was a guy trying to sell perfumes to me and were actually authentic not knock offs. Few days later saw same guy trying to peddle his perfumes to another tourist (that's it didn't see one homeless guy). I partied in Beyoglu leaving the club past 4:00 am walking to nearest tram by myself through side streets etc, no problems. I was in Philippines obviously plenty of homelessness and beggars and scammers, , and in Hong Kong I was in Central and Sheung Wan saw maybe 4 homeless people, no beggars and nothing there to worry about neither.
A tender sentimental farewell to old "Sparky". Things come and go in life. As long as you still have your guitar, all will be fine, mate.
BTW, whatever happened with that bird from the Philippines?
Pity about the Istanbul experience. It's my favourite country. Great food, people, culture and energy. Wish I was still there, I could have shown you around.
How do you store sparky there is that your old place do you still rent it out. Interesting food to have a homebase in each country yahoo
when you going to back to Davao? I'm going there on the 25th November
Thank god your ok mate
It is a good idea to go back to the Philippines and meet up with the little honey again
Honestly LJ, people in turkiye are generally very welcoming, very nice. Everybody in Europe goes there and have wonderful trip. I did a tour ouf the whole country a few years ago, and I rarely felt so comfortable.
I don't doubt what you lived was awful, but maybe you hit the 0.001% of bad luck on this...
I think you won't go again, but I wish you will. And I'm french, not even turkish xD
It would be nice if you can hit up your old flame mate, is she still there?... That would be classic..❤️. Great videos as always. You need to make more. 👍
Tida is too smart for that kind of nonsense 🙄.
3 years on and I cant post a single video without her being brought up in the comments 😂
@@EsquireUnlimited Wow has it been that long? Man time flys..
@@EsquireUnlimited Classic. I started watching because she was hot. Then I realized you were a good guy so I have watched your adventures ever since. Keep the Vlogs coming.
@EsquireUnlimited 😂 must be tough being reminded all the time the video's were gold though but things change and move on.
Two people I know got a full set of implants each in Turkey and were happy with the results.
Ha, as soon as I clicked play- I immediately said G’day, folks! Hahaha, you were about to say it 😂
You're telling me those elephant pants are still 100thb lol God I miss that country great vlog mate keep them coming tc
sorry to hear this,,you can make a movie on it.
I shed a tear when Sparky departed 😢. Good deal for the motorcycle even though its a girls one 😅. I've been to Thailand 9 times but not been to Chang Mai yet looking forward to it. Turkey hmm not sure I'll ever bother going there tbh. Stick to The Land of Smiles mate 🇹🇭 . 🍻
Turkey sounds pretty much like most places in Western Europe and it's probably worse in the USA after spending a couple months over there recently 🎉
