My wife was violently ill and hospitalised in 2006 in Phuket with food poisoning due to an uncooked meat burger from the hotel we were staying at. I ate NOTHING but street food the entire 14 days in Thailand and was completely fine. A doctor at the time said to me, do not eat western food in hotels as they have no idea how to adequately prepare it. Eat local only and you'll be fine. Wise words.
Great to see a bit of Kanchanaburi again. Looking forward to going there again soon. Love the natural surroundings there. And the Kwai river is beautiful
Here in the U.S. we spend massive amounts of money on the military industrial complex while the homeless live in tents. That's how we roll here. Maybe we should have been a bit more like you and taught our children some empathy.
And billions on war in other countries forever which kills & maims thousands of your best people who return & are treated shockingly badly. The US needs to focus on its own society & stop meddling in the world end of. Your society is looked upon with horror from the rest of the West ie school shootings, violence rates, prison sentences, homeless, drug overdoses etc I just hope we never go down your path. To finish off whilst we access free healthcare, you don’t. It’s very sad & with Trump back it will only get worse, sorry.
What an adventure! Father and son. Loved seeing how free Otis is - a typical kid without a care in the world. Not restricted like city kids. Loved him observing the woman living rough on the street below, his thoughts racing and observing her life. Great to see the old( grand) station is still active and those trains that may be scrapped will live on in his memory to tell his kids of adventures of long ago. I enjoy watching the Thailand I know and more of the rural parts that I would like to visit and explore. Cheers and best wishes ! Enjoy!
What an awesome father & son road trip! Otis is such a dream kid to have…Love this adventure so far especially the train ride…and the guest house doesn’t look bad at all! We cannot wait to watch your next video and thanks for posting this one Ryan😊
I stayed there two months ago when I was in Kanchanaburi! I knew the area right when I saw you turn the corner on the video! 555 The host Nicky was super nice, as well as the Grandma. The rooster woke me up early! So neat to see this spot on your video. Kanchanaburi was quite an epic part of my last trip…brings back fond memories. I agree with you about transportation other than plane while in Thailand. Night buses, trains, coaches, etc are the way to go! Thanks for sharing this adventure. As the father of a 24 year old I can tell you what you already know: making memories with your kids is the true treasure in life. Cheers! 💙🇺🇸💙🇹🇭
Just came back yesterday from kanchanaburi basic room 800bht 2 nights , back home to pathum Thani 1 tuck tuck 1 bus 1 taxi 2 trains 1 taxi 1 bus 5 hrs experience and exhausting : 😱👍👍
YES!! Thailand FOR Thais!!! The first time I encountered dual pricing was at Phanom Rung. The higher farang price subsidies Thai visitors. What's wrong with that???
I have no doubt Otis will remember this trip, and it's usually music that triggers a memory. Give it a few years and let him hear Bob Dylan again and you'll get his perspective of the trip entirely ❣
Awesome awesome video!!! I can’t wait to travel Thailand with my grandson to get that experience. The dual pricing doesn’t bother me at all. I wish the USA was even just 10% as nationalistic as Thailand. My first few trips over there my wife would get mad that I tipped or give money to the less fortunate but since she has been living in America now, she gives big now 555
The politicians here in the UK spend money on Wars in foreign country while taking away the heating allowance from pensioners to help with heating over the coldest months. Great to see Otis enjoying himself and looking forward to his trip with his dad. The one advantage of the train is you don't have to worry about parking can just sit back and enjoy the views of the countryside. Always interesting and informative and entertaining
Yep pretty sure the UK government don't care about it's citizen's welfare anymore, 1 in 3 children in the UK now lives in poverty. The UK government just do what the USA tells them to do to make their energy or weapons corporations richer.
I spend a lot of time copying saxophone players and trumpet players. Not to say that it is not important to listen to guitar players, but there's so much music out there and so many possibilities. I like anyone who plays any instrument. I'm feeling thankfully for my dad who had been traveling with me and my mom with my sister totally is 3 times including bringing us to enjoy the instruments like the saxophone to enjoy in the bar frequently on the night periods after looking at the sunset at the coast areas in 2012.
Dual pricing my original idea on this wasn't to great, but with age I got used to it. The one thing I don't tolerate is though when you are expected to pay 10x the price that of a Thai, which used to be case on local Thai beauty spots here in Isaan. Now my daughter takes care of me. She calls me crazy ferang in front of them, shows my yellow book, and ID, has a discussion and hey presto I get the reduced price not the Thai price but somewhat reduced. We all end up smiling in the end. 555555
Dual pricing drove us NUTS while doing aid work. My housekeeper got livid, often went and bought items while she hide me. Go to a Thai National Parks ...they charged 20 Baht for Thais ..and 200 Bath for foreigners .then the government would tell businesses to charge the same price for everyone. Go figure! The day may come when the goose will no longer lay Golden Eggs. GREAT dad ...you're sure are bringing your boy up to be respectful. Neat!
You do have a choice with duel pricing pay and enjoy your day look at it as a tax or don't go to these places .personally I'm happy to pay as long as it's a national park .A few weeks back we turned up at a small waterpark close to where we live it was 100 for Thais 400 for farangs we chose not to go in
@@johnshores6061 National Parks are the same in Africa, locals pay less because they earn a pittance compared to westerners. Its also their country and should not be priced out.
Did they just start pricing more for Farang on the trains? I live near BuiYai and I have never been asked to pay more. Way back when they were letting people ride for free, I rode for months for free, then one day the conductor told me I was supposed to pay. I think I was the only one on the train that had to pay---15 baht, about $0.50 US. Other wise I don't mind having to pay more for zoos and parks. Even if 10 times the price the locals pay is still less that the price of a McD burger and a fountain drink. Try getting into any of those in west for that price.
Enjoying the travel vlogs guys, back in my day my lovely wife would not trust me to take her/woops/our son on vacation., until he was 12..haha, yet i understood the concern as she was the one who carried him for 9 months and i was not as responsible in the same ways you are Ryan. Fun times together, playing it by ear on how long to stay and when to return is a great way to be. Peace and Love Y'all
Hawaii KINDA has dual pricing. They are a bit chill about it and offer a discount if you can show a Hawaii drivers license, proving your residence. The discount varies per location.
Hey Tis. That Starbucks food look’s about as appetizing as watching paint dry. But don’t worry I know your pops only wants you to experience it. Honestly he wasn’t thinking of himself 😂
Hugo and Otis is like Damo and her twin sister; one is introvert and the other is extrovert. But the introvert is always there to help extrovert remain grounded from harshness.🤔🇬🇧
Good grief, I'd feel much safer eating Bangkok street food than what you got at Starbucks! Horses for courses. I hope those mattresses at the Kanchanaburi hotel weren't the typical concrete slabs that you can sometimes get at those local hotels 🤯🤪
I've lived here just under 3 years now, the double pricing don't bother me anymore. It was more the hypocrisy that annoyed me than the double pricing itself, that in the UK, an immigrant will cry racism over the slightest thing yet we experience casual racism with double pricing. On another note, I know for a fact that Africans, Indians and Carribeans that live in England will also get double charged themselves when they return home because the locals know they live in the west and are on "big money", so maybe it's just the way things are...
I like travelling by train in Thailand but I think five hours is about the max I can do I've got the train from surin to Bangkok twice but never again lol that trip really is a pain in the ass
Great video yet again. When I lived in Asia, my friends and I called it skin tax. Buying fruit or going into a museum. Farang paid more. I don't blame thais as I would do the same. Lol
Otis has Damos personality I would suspect & yes being raised by so many adults all the time from birth has matured him. His genuine interest in plants, animals & farm life is also very mature. He has your thirst for knowledge and he’s always been super calm & well behaved because you guys are excellent parents. Plus Yai & extended family etc. have influenced him. Also I have never met a badly behaved Thai child unlike in the West.
If we had duel pricing in England, I guarantee the foreigners would be given the cheaper rate... Nice to see a father and son bonding trip, trains rock but I was sad to hear drinking on them has been stopped... Starbucks and jazz😮 omg. You get a reprieve for mixing it up with Bob Dylan... Tis seems to enjoy the trip 👍😁😎
You do have dual pricing in the UK. An example would be, if a foreigner wants to attend a university in England the price is different than those charged to UK residents. In my country, Canada, if my child wanted to attend university in a different Canadian province, he would be charged differently than those residents of that other province. In certain USA states, out of State residents are charged different prices to enter State Parks. Dual pricing is not as blatant as in Asia, but it does exist in most “Western” countries.

@@urquhmc that might well be the only exception, universities are pretty much private firms and use foreign students to fund their communist preaching operations, if anyone wishes to be indoctrinated into socialism, then getting ripped off for the fee is the least of their problems.
Yes UK should do it too but it should be based on permenant resendancy not Citezenship. (If you have a long term Visa, or live and work in the country it should be local price. But i am ok with how it is at Thailand. as Thais are poor overall I am happy to help them. it makes me fees superior to be able to pay a price the local Thais cant affod and keep their parks running!
14:45 ... exactly: It is their country with an average income of just 350,- $ a month ... so who complains about dual pricing is just a jealous jellyfish
I normally have no issue with dual pricing. When I think back in Toronto all the 'tourist areas' where I, a Canadian, loving in the neighbourhood, had to pay the extra 'tourist prices' because I happened to live near a 'tourist area' ... that doesn't seem fair to me. Why should I have to pay extra for a tourist area my taxes go toward maintaining. That said whenever I go to a Thai tourist area where they charge for entry I usually show my Thai drivers license and that sometimes gives me the 'Thai pricing' ... many times it doesn't ... but I went to a local lake up here in Chiang Mai, and the 2nd last time I showed them my license and they still charged me the Farang price, but told me next time take my pink ID card and Yellow house book ... this time not only was I eligible for 'Thai prices', but because I was over 60 (I got in free ... my Thia wife had to pay 20 baht lol!! ) My take on Thailand protecting their people is I am 100% for it. A Nation culture (or cultures as the case may be) should be the top priority of that Nation ... Thailand has one of the most unique cultures on Earth ... I applaud this culture, as even though at time the government might forget that responsibility (getting caught up in Bangkok's "western influences' and forgetting that Thailand is far more than just Bangkok, and most Thais are proud of their traditional culture) the King and the military are there as a backup (that might seem like I'm supporting a 'dictatorship', but it's more not supporting a government that doesn't remember it is working for the people of the country rather than Western financial institutions.)
If the UK implemented dual pricing with UK citizens getting a much cheaper price than foreigners there'd be calls against the racist policy. Same goes for only UK citizens being able to own land. Again there'd be calls for changes to the racist policy. Countries like Thailand and most other countries in Asia do not believe in diversity. There are no calls for making the population of Thailand more diverse with more blacks and whites becoming citizens in Thailand. In general from what I've seen in my travels in Asia diversity is something that Asians do not believe in for their countries.
Absolutely, any pricing policy is fine. You dont like it MrFarang, then go home. The UK doesn't even charge what the locals pay. Our migrants get it for free.
Dude, you are pretty good at accessing most things, but calling Starbucks coffee decent tells me you've been living too much of a rural life. As far as teaching children is concerned, they pick up on the double nature of life, which is where good parenting comes into practice. You show them how to create strong foundations not through open conversations but by deeds and your reactions to things around you. Watching you, I can see you already know that.
I like that Thailand protects the land for their people. You could be from the USA and have every nationality owning business majorities and land. We are a nation owned by foreigners. Dual pricing I also support. There's a lot of traffic going through these attractions. Even dual pricing things are still reasonable. This way these attractions can be kept up, and people from around the world can enjoy them. It seems farangs ( not you Ryan) want to take take take. But when asked to give a little back they get upset. They should stay home (in their own countries). Pay the high prices there and be happy. Because there's no dual pricing. And
Dual pricing in my opinion is a slap in the face to alll non Thai nationals. Its also very condescending to the Thai nationals. Yes the poverty line is very visible as is the very comfortable and wealthy line same globally. Many Thai people have done extremely well for themselves and are more affluent than many farang. Most of the long staying faring including myself have and will continue to contribute to the Thai economy and it gets beyond annoying when we get extra charges for being assumed as an ATM. You are a good lad but stay guarded. Enjoy the trip with your mate.

Spent a weekend in Kanchanaburi loved it but emotional visiting the memorials
Thank you for recommending to use the trains in Thailand !!! It's much more fun to look outside than in a plane and 10x better for our ebviroment !!!
Great to see a bit of Kanchanaburi again. Looking forward to going there again soon. Love the natural surroundings there. And the Kwai river is beautiful
A quality time with your son is priceless. My kids are older now, and I rarely get quality time with them. Unless on special occasions.
I really love the interaction between you and Otis... very precious! 😊
A wonderful adventure for Otis
He looks very happy.❤
Here in the U.S. we spend massive amounts of money on the military industrial complex while the homeless live in tents. That's how we roll here. Maybe we should have been a bit more like you and taught our children some empathy.

Fun father/son time!
Saxophone WOW didn't know that was still open. My wife used to take me there when we first met, back in 2005.
I really respect Thailand for putting their people first, i wish my country would have done the same, but now it's too late.

If the UK implemented dual pricing with UK citizens getting a much cheaper price than foreigners there'd be calls against the racist policy. Same goes for only UK citizens being able to own land. Again there'd be calls for changes to the racist policy.
Countries like Thailand and most other countries in Asia do not believe in diversity. There are no calls for making the population of Thailand more diverse with more blacks and whites becoming citizens in Thailand. In general from what I've seen in my travels in Asia diversity is something that Asians do not believe in for their countries.
Absolutely, any pricing policy is fine. You dont like it MrFarang, then go home.
The UK doesn't even charge what the locals pay. Our migrants get it for free.
They do the same in turkey
I can't take the big city life😮
Ryan as you know I'm in bkk. Need any help ?
Hey Kev this is a little back dated so we are now gone 😁 thanks for the offer though!
Me too I commented at the start . Crazy I've just rode back from kanchanaburi
Dude, you are pretty good at accessing most things, but calling Starbucks coffee decent tells me you've been living too much of a rural life. As far as teaching children is concerned, they pick up on the double nature of life, which is where good parenting comes into practice. You show them how to create strong foundations not through open conversations but by deeds and your reactions to things around you. Watching you, I can see you already know that.

Never knew they had dual pricing on Trains! horrible gits!
I like that Thailand protects the land for their people. You could be from the USA and have every nationality owning business majorities and land. We are a nation owned by foreigners.
Dual pricing I also support. There's a lot of traffic going through these attractions. Even dual pricing things are still reasonable. This way these attractions can be kept up, and people from around the world can enjoy them. It seems farangs ( not you Ryan) want to take take take. But when asked to give a little back they get upset. They should stay home (in their own countries). Pay the high prices there and be happy. Because there's no dual pricing. And
Dual pricing in my opinion is a slap in the face to alll non Thai nationals. Its also very condescending to the Thai nationals. Yes the poverty line is very visible as is the very comfortable and wealthy line same globally. Many Thai people have done extremely well for themselves and are more affluent than many farang. Most of the long staying faring including myself have and will continue to contribute to the Thai economy and it gets beyond annoying when we get extra charges for being assumed as an ATM. You are a good lad but stay guarded. Enjoy the trip with your mate.
