@ I’m from Melbourne Victoria it’s a Tv show all about blokes and strippers and bars and hot cars burnouts , blowers , boobs , beers , and bums lol it’s about all blokey stuff, TH-cam it Blokes world , it’s pretty cool, thanks for the reply, love the videos I’m thinking of moving to Thailand , have a good one mate I’ll see you off like a Jewish forskin cheers 🍻
@geraldrakers4746 That’s amazing-54 years of marriage, congratulations! It must have been quite the experience meeting your wife at Golden Sands. Thanks for sharing that special memory!
Great video. It reminded me of a time when I was stationed in Okinawa and took a vacation to Thailand in 1974. I met a beautiful thai lady in a bar in Bangkok and we spent 2 glorious weeks together in Bangkok and Pattaya. Mukda reminded me of my beautiful thai lady I met and I wonder what ever became of her. After retiring in 2009 in the U.S. I came back to Thailand and married a wonderful thai lady with a heart of gold and a beautiful daughter who I saw grow up and blossom into a very intelligent and vibrant young lady. I am truly Blessed to have them in my life as I am living out the last chapters of my life in a country I love.
What an incredible lady,76 and still going strong.The changes she has seen over the years and stories she has must be amazing.Fair play for such a respectful interview Jonny,top lad.Next time I'm in Bangkok I'll definitely take a trip to TJ'S to say hello and buy her a drink or 2
Went to Thailand for one month holiday in 2003 and stayed for 9 years. Now I have been married to a Thai woman for 20 years and we have a wonderful 18 year old daughter. Best decision I ever made! Back in BKK next week after 12 years away! Love this channel! Will definitely visit TJ's.
@billmiller5741 Thanks so much! Mukda is truly wonderful, and we will definitely be meeting her again. Unfortunately, we were having some issues with her mic, so we had to wrap the video earlier than planned. But you’ll definitely hear more from her soon! 🙏
I've been waiting for this interview after your teaser from a few days ago. Well worth the wait and what a delightful lady. I hope you feature her a "regular" on your channel as you did magic man. Big heart Jonny, very good, very good.
Hey Jonny, this video gives you a lot of respect from all over the world. It’s different and kept you on the high rank of youtuber. Cheers from Canada.
Thanks mate, Lovely people.I first visited in 2015 and return 2 or 3 times a year since. Traveling around the world over time i find the people with the least are the first to offer help or will offer to share what little food they have.Take care 🙏
Hey Jonny, your best interview of a nice lady, Mukda... When in Bangkok in a few months, I will stop and give Mukda a few baht... Thank you for the nice interview... 😊
What a Charming woman, she seen the bar industry actually changed over the years. she raised a child from an American GI (Soldier) and it looks like she lived a fairly happy life God bless her. If I was starting a bar in Thailand I'd want her to be the mamason . Because she seen everything the girls couldn't get away with crap
Thank you for the kind words, @onknight. She truly has an incredible story, and it's inspiring to see how she's navigated life with strength and grace. Appreciate your thoughtful comment-God bless!
Mate, you killed it right there, what an amazing bloke you really are, giving the old lady Dah your time, mate you didn't have to do that but you did, so much respect mate, sad to hear she is living in a small room up top of some place with an old friend after so many years, her story was amazing, she came from poverty but fell in love and had a baby, had to work to support the baby. Great job Jonny and hope you do a follow up to see how she gets on
Nice lady and good interview Jonny, but you have to do a follow up interview with the 51 year old half American half Thai daughter, she would have an interesting story to tell of growing up in Thailand for sure.
@rman5015 Thanks for the kind words! Yes, I’d love to meet Cake. We’ve been communicating on the LINE app, so hopefully she can make it to the next video as well. A follow-up interview with her sounds like a great idea!
love youre channel johnny. i am from Scotland and people dont have a clue how lucky they are. i live in Putthamonthon now i like Hua Hin when i am down i will let you know.
Thanks so much, @barry-nolenives8905! Really appreciate the support from Scotland! You're absolutely right-it's easy to take things for granted. Glad to hear you're in Putthamonthon now. When you're down in Hua Hin, definitely let me know-it'd be great to connect!
Jonny, that was one classy video. Da seems like she is a super nice person and I hope things go good for her. You got some super cool points here mate......
Mukda is an incredible lady to have survived working in the Thailand’s bar scene for over 50 plus years. She’s about my age and we may have crossed paths while I served in the US bases in Udorn and Ubon Thailand during the Vietnam war. I plan to visit Thailand in the near future and would love to speak to her when I do.
Very interesting, great video Johnny, I remember 22 years ago, no iPhones, motorbike taxis reading the paper and playing chess with bottle tops, no iphones miles better.
Hey nice 1 Jonny and Da has seen it all over the years I am sure. I will pay her a visit on my next trip to BKK. Happy Holidays to You Jonny as well as Som, Title and Sebastian
@bradley_Bradley Thanks so much! Da really has seen it all over the years, and I’m sure she’ll be happy to see you on your next trip to BKK. Happy Holidays to you too, mate, and to your family-wishing you all the best!
@PK-nm8wu Hey mate, really sorry I haven't had the chance to catch up-I've been flat out! But I hope you can make it to my Christmas party at Woody's Sports Bar next Saturday, the 21st. Would be great to see you there!
@jameshill8711 Thanks so much! I really enjoy this type of content too-it's just about finding the right person with the right stories. Glad you liked the vlog!
Really great video!!! You're videos are always fun to watch even though they have a great variety. My Thai wife and I are moving back to Thailand next month and will settle with my mother and our 20 year old daughter in Hua Hin. Perhaps my wife and I could ask you and Som out to dinner one night and pick your brains on finding a good house to stay and other tips on the city. Best always, Dave!
Thanks for the kind words, Dave! That sounds like a great plan-we’d love to meet up! Give me a shout when you’re settled in. 👍 send me a email to jonnythereissomethinghappening@gmail.com
I love soi 22. Stayed on soi 20 walked by that bar many times. Had no idea Da had been there 50 years. You can meet a lot of interesting people in that area and still not know the people who live there. When Da talks about being in love was a shock. I thought bar girls forget past falang. And love.. probably say that to all the tourists.
very appropriate and cool to do a video like this. where to start: i have been going to thailand for 16yrs. started early 2008 and lived there for some years. to converse and understand some of the sub culture stuff from a woman like Da is amazing. she is probably correct. 30yrs ago no real phones, testing, FB..these girls would send money home. now she say "they make money but spend money". when i was 44yoa in thailand i had "friend" she was 49yoa. to think she is 65yoa now.
Great videos. My wife is Thai. I have been coming to Thailand for many years. I plan to retire in Hua Hin, but I have never been there. We will be staying in Hua Hin for the first two weeks of January 2025 to get an idea if it is really the place we'd like to live. I happen to be staying near Soi Cowboy the week I arrive in Bangkok. I've never been to Soi Cowboy before, I will try to find Mukda.
Good one Jonny. Life has been tough for the old lass. There is so much negativity of girls from Isan. Never marry or propose to a Bar Girl at your peril.

Is she the option for the guys that want Vintage Boom Boom!! . Good one Jonny!. Jonny should invite her over to his place for Christmas lunch with the family!
@markhuizinga4993 Haha, you crack me up! Unfortunately, we would if we were having Christmas in BKK, but this year we'll be in Hua Hin. Maybe another time!

@@jonnyasia He is correct. Government Issue just like a pair of boots. I was discharged in 1973 from Air Force. My duty base was in Okinawa. living in Pattaya at the moment.
In the early 80's in Soi Cowboy there where many bars but most were just bars, but only 1 or 2 gogo bars. In the 80's in the bars we were the customer, and the girls were there to take care of the customer. Come the mid 90's the attitude changed and we were there to take care of them.

Love the Thai people and South East Asia in general.
Nice lady and good interview Jonny, but you have to do a follow up interview with the 51 year old half American half Thai daughter, she would have an interesting story to tell of growing up in Thailand for sure.

Really interesting - the video quality is excellent - new equipment?
what a lovely woman, i would love to meet her and help her in any way i could.so sad that many woman have to leave their children to earn money..
My first stroll down Cowboy was in '82. Was fun then, don't think it the same nowadays? Alas!
very appropriate and cool to do a video like this.
where to start:
i have been going to thailand for 16yrs. started early 2008 and lived there for some years.
to converse and understand some of the sub culture stuff from a woman like Da is amazing.
she is probably correct. 30yrs ago no real phones, testing, FB..these girls would send money home.
now she say "they make money but spend money". when i was 44yoa in thailand i had "friend" she was 49yoa. to think she is
65yoa now.
Definitely needs a 50anniversary bash in Soi Cowboy next year…make it happen Jonny!…

Cool…. I’ll go visit DA on my next trip. Seems like a very nice sweet lady!
Beautiful lady ❤️

“Da what’s your name? “- “Da” - obviously, a few beers were pounded before the interview. 😅
