    Beautiful views over the reservoir and the fabulous Mon Bridge, just two highlights of a great vlog, Richy. Re going back to the same places, I personally don't mind repeat visits - the atmosphere of Thailand always gets conveyed through the footage and the sounds and for 40 minutes I'm back there.

    Hi Richy i visited there in 2013 just after a massive build up of weeds during a huge flood broke some of the bridge, when we where there the locals had already built a bamboo bridge replacement alongside allowing access across to continue via a few bamboo stairs up and down. The crack of dawn watching flow of orange robed Monks walking across the bridge was a lovely sight, i enjoyed a relaxing stay there. Please do not give up on Burma i have been a few times, i went to Rangoon, i enjoyed it there then i moved on to Mandalay to photograph the Ubein Brisdge at sunset that was wicked, then i went to Nyanshawai where you stay next to Inli lake which is huge and very photogenic watching the one leg rowing fishermen, then onto Bagan the land of over ten thousand Temples, never had any problems whatsoever during my trips, cheers thanks, lovely vlog. Oh you must visit Shwedegon Pagoda in Yangon again at sunset you will never see anything like it, its massive and so beautiful.

    Morning, Richy!
    Great thumbnail - I didn't even recognise it as yours and kept scrolling through for 3 days it seems 😳
    Is this a new destination for the vlog? I don't remember this place.
    How cheap was that alcohol?! Do you reckon it's watered down? That whiskey for like 60bhat? I'm not a drinker either, but wow! You would just live there if you were a bit partial 🙃
    Very quiet town, but the river and the mountains are just gorgeous.
    I think with all those flies, I would probably want to try and cook my own food from the grocery store produce. Would that be a bit safer?

    • @ParkinsonRaw
      @ParkinsonRaw  5 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Morning Greg and thanks mate,
      I went on a road trip from Kanchanaburi, it was such a beautiful place I loved it there. I’m not sure about the spirits I think they would probably double up as a weed killer ha, I wouldn’t go near it.
      Yes the flies, if possible I would definitely cook my own food. The Thais are used to it and have a much stronger immune system than us.
