- Aom wants a husband and Pook at her happiest.
Living in Udon Thani Thailand.
We discovered that Aom is looking for a husband. We took Pook's mum to a temple and while talking to the Abbot, I discovered that he was a pretty special guy. Check out Pook at her happiest. This is the place that she loves more than anywhere else. Let me show you around Monkey Town near Udon Thani City. The monkeys run the place...Honestly.

Sometimes, the simple things are more fun and meaningful than all the banquets in the world ...😊
They sure are Pooky 😘
You just keep knocking it out of the park with your videos. This is my new favorite. I love to see your embrace of the Thai culture.
Thanks Scott. Happy to know that you are enjoying them.
Absolutely beautiful, everything!Thank you for sharing you and Pooky's adventures!
You’re welcome and thank you.
Absolutely a marvellous video, thank you for sharing. cheers and stay safe.
You’re welcome and thank you Keith.
Wonderful video of country life in Thailand. Great diversion from all of the city videos, even though those are very good too.
It's all part of the diversity that I love about living here Ted. Such a wonderful place.
Thanks for your message.
what a beautiful country side. thank you for sharing
You’re welcome and thank you.
Great video as always 👍
Cheers David...Thank you.
Great video, I really enjoyed that on my commute to London. Cheers! 🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another nice video Kevin, you guys really are like travel guides for Udon Thani. 👍👍
Thanks Mark. Looking forward to finishing the house and the boarders to open in other countries. Then we can get back to our plans of some serious travel
Thank you a thousand times and all my best wishes !
You’re welcome and thank you.
Beautiful land just beautiful!! I can see myself hanging out there with a cutie and a couple beers oh yeah. Thanks again. Stay safe. From the US
You stay safe too Steve.
Nice video sir. Love the rice in the bamboo stick, my favorite.
They are great aren't they 😉
Hi Guys, great interesting video today of your local sites. Thanks for the video.
Thanks as always Tony...Pleased that you enjoyed it.
Love the content amazing places.
Just love the way you are so interested in Thai culture and that you have integrated so much. Your wife is such fun. ☘️
Thank you so much Mary. Hard not to fall in love with this place and the people 😀
Love it again mate, Im in lockdown in Aussie and missing my Thai family so Much, cheers
Stick with it buddy. Tough for you now but things will ease soon. Let us know how you get on.
Simply Paradise !!! Thanks for sharing with us. Take Care Guys
You’re welcome and thank you.
Kevin Nice montage of your Sunday trips with family the music heading into the farm reminded me of Jim Croce’s guitar style. That we talked about last week. As for Pooks reference to the musical and mentioning heaven have a look at this oldie but goodie perhaps this was what she was referring to Top Hat the 1935 film featuring music and lyrics by Irving Berlin.
Hey Sam...Just seen this after replying to your comment on TIF page.
Have been listening to Jim Croce since you reminded me of him last week. Thanks for that. You know...it's funny that Pook often refers to old English films and songs. She picked up on these when she was working with the elderly in the care home back in the UK. Often breaks into an old WW2 song Her favourite is "Run Rabbit Run Rabbit Run Run Run. 😄
Hey hun, great to see you again. Sorry we haven't been able to visit you for the last few weeks we have been in Bulgaria filming. But great to catch up with you as always. Huge thumbs up. Great to see her having a great time huge hugs to you both. Stay safe and catch up again soon.
You’re welcome and thank you.
Enjoying these videos. My friend had house built in udon thani abt 15 years ago. He goes for all of January usually but because if covid not this year. Sad he works hard all year to have his month.Thanks for letting me see what he has been telling me about all these years. Stephen
You’re welcome Stephen and thank you.
Kevin, A very nice video. In other videos that I watched Pook is more reserved and poised. In this video she acted more like a high school girl. ( I guess being home with family allowed her to relax )
I loved this peaceful and serene style of country living.
This is a dream life.
LOL...Pook is like a chameleon James. Fits in perfectly in any situation although the cheeky fun Pook is the one that is most prevalent. We rarely stop laughing.
Thanks for your reply. After what you mentioned today only confirms what I thought.
You are 1 lucky man
Hope after it opens up I can find 1 just like her. Does she have and sisters or cousins that are available? Seriously !
@@LibertyLover5103 Pook does have a sister who lives in Germany.
Since being here full time I have met a lot of guys who are in wonderful relationships.
What you just gives me hope!
Hopefully I will be equally blessed.
@@LibertyLover5103 👍
Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome Paul and thank you.
Great farm. They have a lot going on there. Be sure to show the rice harvest in a couple of months, will ya Kev. Thanks for sharing.
Will do 👍
Great vlog Kevin & pook. Being a country boy myself in the cotswolds where there are lots of hills the views are great. Seeing all the lush green fields and so flat see for miles. It's the simple things in life 😊👍👍
It really is Paul. Glad you enjoyed it.
Kevin I love your videos👍💪 I miss Udonthani too
Thanks Tony.
I’m surprised that you haven’t learnt to speak Thai yet . On my longest trip back in 2014 I went to school for one month , I did four hours each week , and I learnt quite a lot only reason why I didn’t continue the lessons is I was going home . You have a Thai partner that could teach you you would pick it up in no time . The difficult part is understanding Low tone , middle and high . A friend of mine who I won’t mention has been going to school now for five years and is fluent in the language he’s also started to read and write . Interesting video about the Abbotts . Glad to see you’re wearing long trousers . Anyway another interesting video
My intention is to learn Thai but since we have been here I have been busy looking at some different business opportunities.
I will get around to it ASAP
So peaceful. Wow. I could do with some of that right now
It is a pretty special place Dave.
@@TheIsaanFarang his name is actually Rodney, but nevermind Dave.
@@ppppugh7892 See what you have done there 😄
Another fantastic video. I would anticipate settling down in the same manner as you. Would you at some point be doing a cost of living video for your kind of lifestyle?
We will at some point RM.
Love your videos guys genuine and interesting. Just had coe approved for me and my wife (Thai) so hopefully she will be back home soon.
Thank you and good luck.
Thank you for showing that video that was amazing video I can see the parents in the rice Fields putting up the weeds it reminds me when I was in Moulin tiny many years ago go I stayed in the carry on Hotel it just brings back memories these people may be old but they know how to work on the fields and it's a better way of life thank you for amazing video again nice to see you to a happy take care of one another
So nice of you Keith and thanks for sharing.
Hey Mr Farang....eat some ahahn Thai!!!! :) Great videos you are living the life.
🙏
Enjoying so very much your adventures. Seeing rural life brings peace to my day. I see that some of your recent Vlogs have increased in length and that's really good (from my point of view) but I guess it's all relative to content. Enjoy living the dream.
Thank you Simon. It honestly means a lot to us knowing that you are enjoying the videos. Thank you.
Nice video 👍congratulations and best wishes from Iran
You’re welcome and thank you.
As I'm watching your video, pooks aunties set up is just like my friend I was saying about, she as happy as a pig in you know what lol , its a different world , so relaxed and no stress, I know what I would choose
As I said earlier Wayne. Make it your goal and make it happen. It is easier and more affordable than living in the west.
First time I have seen your video, I thoroughly enjoyed it cheers
You’re welcome and thank you.
Look forward to seeing more if you do them
@@user-ep6nv6nv1k We will be doing a lot more 🙂
Love this vlog❤️ Makes me long for Thailand even more...... I can speak the issan language and listening to Pook & her family speak, reminds me of my relatives living there! Will you ask Pook if she knows where Nong-or Nongwuasor is from this region???? The issan countryside is what I miss most about Thailand ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks once again Kevin & Pook🙏🙏🙏 Sending love & warm wishes from San Francisco 😘
Just asked Pook and she reminded me that we were there just a few weeks ago. About 20 minutes from where we live.
When Pook first moved to the UK, she was attending English classes and met a Thai girl who came from Nongwuasor. They are still good friends.
The pork dishes looked scrumptious..
As with many of these little cafes, the food was really good.
Hi hello , new subscriber, BIG like . Great video Peace ☮️
Welcome Doug and thank you
SO VERY INTERESTING
Pleased that you liked it Dennis.
Love that 👍👍
👍
One of my friends lives near you , she worked in bkk for a few years in a office just so she could build her own little house on her land, she has her own irrigation system in and lives off her land , such a simple yet beautiful life , and she is so happy, I just wish I was as happy as her lol
Don't "wish" Wayne...Make it happen.
Set yourself a goal, make a plan and stick to it.
That's all that Pook and I did.
I also love been on the farm. But ours is a Durian farm down south and is rather hilly but beautiful all the same love it simple life.
Can't beat it Ronan
I know what you mean about the peace and quiet in the countryside it's amazing when you come from the UK you have never experienced it and it's so relaxing. Do you eat the papaya salad I can't eat it but the Thai girls always make mine with soy sauce and it's lovely. When we finally get over I will take you to some of the amazing places we found
I can't eat the salad the way that the family do. Far to hot for me.
Look forward to meeting up at some point Andy.
We know the plants that shrivel up when they are touched as "poo-ying kii ay" (shy lady). Bit of a pain in the lawn as they have thorns.
Another wonder of nature Michael
It appears you are going to stay in Udon Thani. A good investment is finding the right Thai teacher at a reasonable price. I think right now with no ex-pats visiting in the last 7 months or so it's an excellent time to begin a search. You know Chuck took Thai from a gal close to his home base in That Phanom and his interactions with the Thai people is awesome. Just a thought.
Absolutely right. I remember hearing Chuck talking about it.
Pook helps me but not always a good idea to have your partner as a teacher, whatever you are learning.
Thanks for getting in touch.
i do have that kind of the plant in cambodia too and i always like to play with it
Looking forward to visiting Cambodia as soon as we can.
Hi. I've been watching your channel for a while now. I think it's great and very informative. I'd like to ask if you know any good lawyers in Udon Thani. Cheers
Probably best to ask on our Facebook group. I'm sure that someone will be able to help you there.
@@TheIsaanFarang thanks
ดูคุณทั้ง2คนตั้งนานไม่แตกต่างช่องสามี. ฝรั่งคนอื่นแต่พอพวกคุณกลับไปอยู่กลับครอบครัวรู้สึกมีความสุขไปด้วยจริงๆทั้ง2คนเป็นคนฉลาดและจิตใจดีทำตัวติดดินง่ายๆไม่เหมือนเมียฝรั่งทั่วไปขอให้มีความสุขอยู่กับพ่อแม่พี่น้องนะคะคุณทั้ง2เหมาะสมกันจริงๆ😀🇺🇸🇹🇭
Pleased that you are enjoying the videos. Thank you for your kind words 🙏
Nice country setting
It is Larry.
very good video
You’re welcome Terry and thank you.
Nice video.
Thanks Eric
I'm sorry. But hands down I like your video logs the best. I live in Amnatcharoen on my GF family farm but stuck i Los Angeles waiting to come back. I love Issan and want to meet you some day. Thank you for warming my heart!
Thank you. I hope that you can get back soon. Look forward to meeting up some time.
Nice video Kev 😎
Thanks Dave. Anything up and coming soon?
The Isaan Farang off to Koh Chang Monday hope to get some drone footage also, I think Chuck is there or going there soon😁
@@ThailandSights That's great Dave. Pook and I are looking forward to visiting there. Look forward to your video.
The Isaan Farang will send you some photos and details where we are staying that if the storm misses us of course.
@@ThailandSights Cheers Dave 👍
That plant when you touched the leaves closed the plant is name "touch me not "
Didn't know that... Thank you Anne.
Nice place
It is very nice here.
Hi Kevin.it wld be nice to hear you speak Thai one day !!
I'm wishing that more than anyone else possibly could 🤣😂🤣
I'm trying but it is so difficult. I'll surprise you all one day.
Ficou lindo o vidio gostei show.🌹⚘🌷🌼🇧🇷
Thank you.
@@TheIsaanFarang certo ok.
@@laudelinacunha4021 👍
That plant is called "SHY PLANT"..
Thank you
Can you ask Pook why they leave trees in the middle of rice paddies please.
What a refreshing change to see a farm that doesn't look like Steptoes yard awash with plastic obviously a lot of pride in the farm.
Were you not tempted to give the old fella a hand?
The trees are left simply to offer shade when they take a break Steve.
Everyone mucks in and helps, but Pook's dad is the only one who can start when we get there and keep going until we go home. His nickname is The Sunshine Superman.
I would hold an umbrella for Pook's cousin any day..Please pass it along.
Have just passed it on to Pook's cousin's husband Stephen...He said "Thanks for the offer mate, but I'll manage" 😄
Monkey Park is in Kumpawapi. Kumpawapi is the second largest town in Udonthani Province. That is where I live.
Your inlaws are super rich with a Kubota L series tractor and a huge farm.
Shhhh John 🤫
The story goes (by some of the Nay Sayers) that Pook is only with me for 'MY' money 🤣😂🤣
Good vlog mate. Is it you or your father in law who`s the Liverpool supporter? :)
It's not. It's Pooks brother and his son's.
Who'd have thought that from living and driving around London you would end up surfing in the back of a pickup in Thailand ;).
A few years back, I didn't have a clue how we would get here, but setting a plan and sticking with it turned out okay. Positive mind played a massive part I have to say Vinie.
@@TheIsaanFarang did you have vast savings or just enough for the Visa, plus an income?
@@ppppugh7892 No vast savings but enough to satisfy the visa requirements.
God that food looks amazing mate , what i would do to eat that now lol
It was Wayne 🙂
Hi m8. Can you tell me if anything is at the base/water line to stop the water from just seeping away pls. Enjoying your TH-cam videos 😎🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just asked Pook Benjamin...Nothing at all. The soil is a lot like clay. They just dig it out and fill it with water.
The Isaan Farang thanks for replying so quickly. I couldn’t work out why it wouldn’t just seep back into the soil. Please also thank Pook for me now it all makes sense. I’ve been asking my wife Na how it retained the water & to be fair I don’t think she knew. So now can look forward to (one) of her dreams to have a fish breeding pond 😎🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@MrTolotony Good luck Benjamin and be sure to stay in touch and let us know how you get on.
The Isaan Farang will do & thanks again. Am in the UK at the moment (taxi driver) lol. Looking forward to retirement in 6years. Have to settle for once a year visits of a month till then ,,,, hopefully Take care & all the very best 😎🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@MrTolotony London taxi?
Living the simple life is the way to do it.
Wish that I had realised this a long time ago but making the most of it now 🙂

Hi Kev & Pook watched your vids for months now I'm an east ender soon to retire from OZ to the land of the beautiful people hope to catch up with you one day to chew the fat.
Stay in touch and let us know when you are over.
I'll teach you some Thai for a couple of nights in that new spare room of yours! Your father-in-law said it was like a small hotel with all the air-con, on-site etc!! 🤗
Eidt: en suite!
LOL...I'll bear that in mind
Illy ba many fish ive been going to Isaan for many years
👍
love it! superstar Papa is my hero...puts me to shame! ok, rubber trees....the latex fills the cups and is usually collected very early, the trees are "tapped" i.e. a diamond shaped section of bark is stripped off the tree and a cup is placed on the tap (small piece of tin to direct the latex) this is done at night so the latex doesn't set in the heat. tilapia, as you know i love my fishing and catch tilapia on a regular basis (in Thai pla nin) these are extremely hardy fish, i once caught one about 1.5 kilo and decided to take it home for the hotel owner to cook...it sat in a plastic bag for 45 minutes, then in the motorbike taxi basket for 20 minutes, i gave it to the hotel owner to cook, she came back 30 minutes later and i asked her if she enjoyed the fish, she said no..........it's in my pond!!, this was about three years ago and it's still in the pond! thanks for the vlog mate, really enjoyed this one :)
That's amazing that the fish survived.
Thanks for sharing Tony.
Kevin surely you must be able to say how are you , that’s super easy to say and pronounce
Sure
Could you give me a Top 5 reasons you choose to Live in udon Thani instead of other places in Thailand?
The first and most important reason is that Pook's family live here and we wanted to be close to them.
Great up and coming city although we live just 10 minutes from the centre and it feels as though we are in a village.
Fascinating mix of westerners here which I only discovered once I moved here.
Beautiful community neighbours who help each other out.
Close to the airport so that it is easy for Pook and I to travel.
A lot more thing that I have left out but I need to get on and answer more comments 😄
Peaceful, happy, simple living. Can't beat it with a stick as they used to say. Aom will be fine she is too good for most farangs I'd bet, and I mean that in the best way.
👍 🙂
You cant beat the countryside kevin. Beats suburbia any day .I did notice while you was in the back of the pick up Pooke dad had a liverpool sticker on the window
Come on you reds...
Thats fighting talk mate hehe . Im a everton supporter . Thanks again kevin and Pooke for a beautiful video
That's Pook's brother Nigel. Has been a Liverpool follower since I have known him. He loves his football as do his sons. One of them has won a scholarship to go to a sports boarding school and it's looking good for him to maybe turn professional.
@@nigel5768 You’re welcome and thank you.

Great video mate i really hope you and pook are well take care

So much interesting things in this video thanks for showing us. I really miss those bamboo sticks at the road side yummy yummy 👍🙏💙🇹🇭
Thanks Eric. Hope that you can get back soon and have some more 🙏
Hello have you ever watched Tim k (Philippines), Harald Baldr (Norway) or Bald and Bankrupt(UK) they are all you tube vloggers like yourself, I think you should network with them and become even more of a star......keep up with your fantastic work.
LOL...Not sure about the star thing Mike, but thanks...I'll take a look.
those rubber trees look tiny, i guess they are young? cant beat being on the farm. Id like to see a much more in depth farm video if you would make one id love to see. How is it running, costs/profit, how is it being irrigated etc. My wife has a farm down south, but I am sure many of your isaan viewers would like to know how to make a buck up there
Might be the video that makes them look small but they are quite large and have been producing for many years.
We will be doing more in depth content about the farm.
When you left the Wat you loked for a place to get something to eat. Nothing makes you more hungry than talking about fasting, especially for 20 days. Did I hear correctly; that the monk wanted to fast food and water for 20 days? Is that possible?
LOL...We got talking about fasting and I explained that I do something called intermittent fasting every day...stop eating at 5pm and eat nothing until 10am the following day. He the told me that Buddha had fasted for 20 days, allowing himself only water.
The abbot had done this himself...20 days with only water. He told me that day 1 and 2 were easy. Day 3 was painful. But once you reach day 4, the hunger disappears and the rest is easy. I decided to try the 4 days with only water as an experiment.
Now it might be possible if you are living in a temple and able to meditate most of the day, but after 48 hours, I was feeling dizzy and couldn't concentrate on what I needed to do on my laptop. At this point I gave up. Straight down the Pad Thai stall 😄
@@TheIsaanFarang Kevin, there's an easy fix to a long fast. I'm currently doing Keto & Intermittent fasting and I daily do a 20 or 22 hour fast and a 48 or 72 fast monthly. The solution to doing a 48, 72 or longer fast is to take an *_electrolyte solution_* - water and a half of teaspoon sea-salt or Himalayan salt (they're loaded with nutrients and minerals that your body needs) during the fast.
Try reducing your carbs, eliminate refined carbs (breads, pasta and even rice) and sugar from your diet and as you continue your future fasting your headaches will subside. Another reason why you get the headaches, when you do a prolong fast, is that your body is craving for carbs since its used to run on glucose(carbs & sugar), as a fuel, instead of ketones. Take care and keep those great videos coming. 👍🏽
@@LarryFournillier
Fascinating Larry.
Thank you so much for the information 👍
@@TheIsaanFarang Kevin, you're certainly welcome. For great sugar substitute sweeteners, try one of these: Stevia, Monk-fruit (my fave), or Swerve. They all contain 0 carbs and are 0 on the glycemic index(GI) scale - meaning they won't spike your insulin.

Whens your next video posting?
Just finishing editing the next house update Jay.
What did you and Pooky say to each other when she burnt herself on the soup?
I said to her "After the cold rice that's hot" Then said "shall I eat" and she repeated what I said. I think that is what you mean.
@@TheIsaanFarang I thougt She said WOUAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW ! So GOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDD !
@@jeangirard1732 🤣😂🤣😄
How the house is going?.
All good and a new video coming out within the next few days.
Her father really shouldn't some help when he's pulling the grass like that at least one better 2 or 3. Now something could happen you could pass out get bit by a snake you know anyting
The whole family are there working John. They're all looking out for each other.
Alright, you are kinda making me home sick. I was in Udon Thani in 1972. I believe the name of the hotel was Udon Thani Hotel. And I patroled Hwy 2 from Udon to about 2 Km south of the old 7th RRFS Military Post, which was an supply depot during the Viet Nam War. Been wanting to return there for a long time. My thumb nail is the unit patch from there.
I'm guessing Ramasun Station Stacey?
Would love to sit and chat with you over a coffee. Let me know if you get back out here.
@@TheIsaanFarang That would be the place
@@staceypendley2713 Fascinating time in history and a wonderful era for the music scene.
I'm going to go back to Ramasun station and do a video about it...including the rumours of it being used as a secret holding centre.
Do you ever get back to Thailand?
@@TheIsaanFarang No, never heard that and never seen any type of covert vehicles either. But it did contain one of the biggest radio and radar I believe. Troops used to use the M.A.R.S to call back to the states. I been trying but every time I start to plan things something medical or other things happen. I'm starting to stash money away again and thinking of selling this place. Might have to take a lose on it. But right now biden my time thanks to covid.

I don't know Kevin. Next time we call in at the farm I'll ask.
Mot dang red ant
😮
Que dices no entiendo no en español ni en igles
Lo siento, no hablo español.
Solo puedo grabar estos videos en inglés.
Do you want to take Thai lessons online? I am now.
Not right now Kevin. Just don't have the time.
20 days fasting is a really bad idea. Your body goes into ketosis and it starts eating the muscles. Very dangerous.
Your accent is great, you sound like Tony Robinson.
The red pork is not really Chinese, that would be Hong Shou Rou and is amazing.
The rubber process is interesting and cutting the trees is an art. The raw latex is treated with formic acid to congeal the raw rubber. It takes a lot of trees to make a little money. It would make an interesting video.
The rice fields look so pretty but all of that water means mosquitoes. Mai chob yoong.
Does Pook talk much about working the farm? Mine never does but I know she has done it since she was a kid. Hard work with very little to show for it. They are harvesting fruit now and the workers get 200 baht a day.
Pook's family are fortunate in the sense that the bulk of their income is not related to the farm, which I'm sure makes farm life more appealing.
I want to learn more about the rubber production and try to make a video of the process, start to finish.
I'll take the Tony Robinson reference as a compliment. Love the guy.
Re the fasting, I'm constantly intermittent fasting (16 hour a day without food, easily done through the night) but couldn't see myself doing 20 days. I did try the four days, simply to see if the Abbot was right about getting through day three, then the hunger disappears. After 48 hours, I was feeling dizzy and couldn't concentrate on what I needed to do on my computer. I bailed out at that point.
Lucky that Pook has options. She has obviously weeded the rice before though. I would be grabbing the wrong stuff.
The tirak is doing field work right now out of obligation to the family. After many years of office work outside of Bangkok, she hates it. Climbing trees with machetes to cut the fruit scares me. I worry for everyones' safety.
The fasting thing is counter to our physical well being. We need regular food, regular water and regular sleep. If the body needs cleansing, there are mechanisms to handle it.
Love Tony Robinson, great actor and a true intellectual as well. Lunch with the Blackadder cast would be frightening for all of the brain cells floating about.
@@cjinasia9266 Saying that reminded me that I met Stephen Fry outside his house in Gibson Square, Islington, London and was talking to him when Hugh Lawrie pulled up on his motorbike. Stood talking to the too of them for a while.
@@TheIsaanFarang Nice! I'm jealous. Fry is amazing. Hugh is putting out some nice jazz tubes lately, really multi-talented.
@@cjinasia9266 Fry is an absolute genius. I feel very fortunate to have met him.
Pook means fart in Ukrainian
Just as well we live in Thailand and not the Ukraine then isn't it
