My Australian misses says you are the most honest channel on thailand. I wasn't sure but yes I agree now,proper not dressed up saying everything is great.Well done from London, although I'm in bangkok now going down to Oz for Xmas,have a great xmas
We just arrived up North to CR and so happy to be here. The weather so nice no humidity compared to down south and temputure just perfect and the locals the best of Thailand. We escaped the floods here on the 11th of September and escaped the floods of the South by a day. I thought of you on the drive up seeing dinosaurs knock down houses and the obvious Tak. Keep up the great work James.
A Merry Christmas to you mr Avocado. I really like to see your videos and i understand why you love your countryside (mountain) wiew. Cheers from Sweden.
My missus has done the hot cup thingy. She says it's a little uncomfortable but definitely worth it. Nothing painful and she recommends it. Merry Meh-mis! 🎄❌😊
Lived in Maesot for 7 years had a house there loved the place and still go there regularly as I miss the place and the friends that I have over there. Now residing in Loei city this city has a different vibe but this where my wife comes from. My heart is still up in Maesot. Well James hope to meet you one day in Tak on my way up to Maesot. Soon Christmas the very best to you ! Take care
Good stuff James. Great editing on the opening scenes with post it notes/objects, claymation on the horizon. Really friendly/helpful people everywhere in video, speaking thai as a farrange has got to come across really well with thais. Have a great chrissy/new years, hope Annie, the wife and rest of family well. 👍🙏
The Avocados look great and are very cheap. I love avocados. What is the best area in Thailand to buy avocados? I miss Thai massage feel so much better and lose after . thank for the great vlogs
My Thai wife and I have a laugh regularly over the way she says avocado. Years ago when she asked me to buy her some "AWACKADOES" at the store for her. It took quite a while before I had a clue, so its a tease now and a laugh we have when I ask her if she wants to buyt buy "Awackadoes" for her
I live just down the road from you. A town about 30 km from Mae Sot, so go in there often and have spent hours in Lotus, Robinson and Dept Immigration and the market nearby. From Australia and interested to hear your story about learning Thai. You are a lot further down that road than me, so well done. I've been at it on and off for about a year, but keep on plugging along. Will get there one day. At least I have one more word to my vocab now - สุก. I am very mii kwam sook about that. I'll drop you an email.
Merry Christmas james happy Christmas to you and family next year when your back in phitsanulok let me no i live hear could take play some cool places plus my wife has a business you might be interested in
i am no expert but i think those large massage pants are supposed to be put on backwards. the two drawstring things are on the back and then you pull them around to the front to tie them.
Just for context I'm in Singapore just now which is not that far away from you obviously in the big scheme of things and 3kg of avocados here at the market will run you just shy of 15USD, you paid under 3 USD. So 5X here
There is no v sound in Thai, hence the w sound. Lol Nice one. Could not agree more with the statement "Tired with Christmas"; definitely something to get excited about when you a child but as an adult; well tired of it.
"So i reckon... come the evening..it could all be happening at the Christmas market" 😬 That was pretty prescient although not what you were meaning obviously
Your interaction with Carrot was lovely. What a nice girl. Loved this vlog.
Glad you enjoyed it mate. All the best.👍🍺

Cheers mate. Appreciate it. Same to you.👍🍺
The Avocados look great and are very cheap. I love avocados. What is the best area in Thailand to buy avocados? I miss Thai massage feel so much better and lose after . thank for the great vlogs
Cheers. Along the border with Myanmar has the best value.👍🍺
Nice one. (Hurts seeing those inexpensive avocados, though.😢)
A very happy merry to you and yours.👍

Haha yes, Carrot gave a great pronunciation lesson lol. Hitting the Awa hard.😁👍🍺

The traditional Thai massage can be very painful, but its the good kind of pain.
Depends on the masseuse really. This one was great.👍🍺
I have found the avocados here (Chiang Mai) are a bit hit and miss (more miss than hit) they go black inside and taste faintly smokey.
Yes, same here, difficult to get good ones all the time. About 25% are usually bad.👍🍺
Those avocados look delicious 😊😋
Been so busy have not had time to catch up on your videos. Forgive me.
If I don't see you again till after the new year 🎉 Happy New Year 2025.
Those Thai fisherman pants are very comfortable, great for the heat.
Yes, they were comfortable.👍🍺
Think we went to the market a few weeks ago I have to ask the wife
Yes, right on the border, opposite the immigration offices.👍🍺
Merry Christmas james happy Christmas to you and family next year when your back in phitsanulok let me no i live hear could take play some cool places plus my wife has a business you might be interested in
Cheers Michael. All the best to you both.👍🍺

Yes maybe. Never quite worked them out lol.👍🍺

How is your pride and joy doing in college?😊👍
Yes good, now on Xmas break.👍🍺
Research Cupping First
TV? 555
strange getting a massage with your street clothes on
Kept my top on for the microphone.👍🍺
Pronunciation is a bit off...
For me yes, always a bit off lol.👍🍺
