wow this is amazing I can't believe how much it looks like an Italian village, I really did not expect to see something like this in Thailand it is more of what you would expect to see in China. Well done Thailand .. The hotel looks fab and posh.. I am putting it on my list of places to visit on my next travels to Thailand would make a great escape from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. thank you for sharing and loving your content
You have a great sense of Humor James. I think I heard you speaking Spanish, German and Italian. I suppose it’s all continental to you! Very nice place. I generally don’t like the theme park type places, but the one you showed us was quite stunning with the mountains as the background. Belllissimo! Thanks for sharing.
I think I'll take my comment back on the pervious video, that place is bellissimo even if it is bonkers! after watching this I could imagine a day or two there, if you've got a few bob to spare, would be bewildering but jolly good fun...providing you remember the coconut oil of course. I'm still not sure why Italy would need to be built in Thailand, but then again...why not? Another entertaining and amusing video James, keep 'em coming. Arrivederci mon ami, sawaidee khrap
Hi James, First time commenter but I’ve been going through your catalogue and just wanted to tell you that I think you are an excellent father. Don’t know you from Adam but your relationship with your daughter is something special. That’s pretty cool 😊. I’m a teacher and I’ve seen some pretty dubious parenting in my time.
Great Vlog James, it's difficult choosing which Thailand Vlogs to watch as every 'Digital Nomad' and 'Ebegger' has been sending out Soi 6 and my life on 500 baht a day and yes You Tube is a job Vlogs. Yours are always quality and interesting and I'm an old timer been living/visiting Thailand since the 90's.
Hilarious James. The quiet "auf wiedersehen" and other variations thrown in was a nice touch (very cunning linguist 😃). What's the temp and humidity like in that place. Is it higher altitude and a bit cooler, it looked like there was a bit of breeze. 🙏👍
Thanks James, great Vlog as usual, always informative and with your great sense of humour. Would love to know the history of the place and who's idea to build such a resort...just so different "Amazing Thailand"
Cheers. It's only been up about 5 years, but other than that don't know much about it. There are some strange resorts up in Khao Yai so kind of blends in lol. 👍🍺
There’s sure same amazing hotels in Thailand complete with golf courses. There’s around 22 golf courses near & at Pattaya Chonburi!!! Can’t beat them….
@@jamesabroad8589 all good with me. Bouncing around all over Thailand... Except you area. Started road trip on the mekong and now in Malaysian. Fun trip! Remember your tux next time ;)
I visited Toscana Valley in 2016 and it was fine for a day. But it definitely has a theme park feel to it and I'm guessing it's been tacked on to the expensive real estate projects to try and give the area some semblance of a purpose. It's pretty empty and soulless there. The real purpose of the place is to hide money from a spouse, autocracy or tax man. So, no banging chit chat down the pub on a Friday night there. I doubt you'd ever see your neighbour and if you did, they wouldn't be gas bagging to you on the stairs about their weekend 🤣
@@jamesabroad8589 all good ta! I must be grumpy as it's dark early and it won't stop raining. Looking forward to escaping to Thailand from Reading with a suitcase full of 💵 to 🧼🪥🫧 in the next year or 3 😂
Ketchup with pizza isn't "civilized," it's an abomination. I give the Thais a lot of leeway when it comes to food because they're obviously so good at it, but the ketchup on pizza thing is a bridge too far.
Bellissimo vlog from bellissimo James 🤌 A shame you didn’t have your chinese swimwear for that pool. You could have caused a bigger hype than moo deng.
You’re just getting better and better. This is your best yet. I laughed out loud a few times. More, please!
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it. It was fun to do.👍🍺
Rockin the Playboy look James. Keep Rockin Man. Love your Vids. Fair play to You!!!
Cheers Brendon glad you enjoyed the video mate 👍
Wow! Nice place... Never would have imagined that there would be a hotel like that in Thailand!
Good episode!
👍😎👍
Cheers, glad you enjoyed the video. 👍🍺
Top notch vlog! Opera, mincing to make maximum use of new camera, bum gun review and dodgy italian... we need more like this! Unique and entertaining.
It was fun to make. Not sure they're that popular, but will certainly do some more. Cheers.👍🍺
@@jamesabroad8589 think the popular thing only comes of you keep forcing them down the algorithms neck...

Thanks. Yes, certainly a different place to visit in Thailand.👍🍺

Cheers mark. Yes it was a bit like a theme park at times but beautifully done and certainly great for a get away.👍🍺
We stayed there during the day. Can visit and eat at the restaurants. Great food. Pizza was best i have had in Thailand.
Great video James ,👌
Cheers mate. Enjoyed it. Nice break and agree about the pizzas.👍🍺
LOL that was funny. That place looks OK - I should take a trip up there ! Nice La Coste James ! Tante Grazie !
Haha yes, great charity shop find this year. Proper Lacoste lol. All the best.👍🍺
Thanks!
Gene, appreciate it mate. Very generous. Hope all's well.👍🍺

Had quite a few negative comments on the last video, so can't remember lol. Glad u enjoyed this one.👍🍺
Wow James, so happy you got to post this up. For $206 here, you get a Hotel 8, with a coupon.
Cheers. Yes, I forgot to use my coupons LOL. 👍🍺
good YT channel angle… “your guide to 5-star living”. Cushy and fun existence while you make videos. and hilarious video too, good laughs
Yes, might well do some more, funds permitting. Certainly fun to do. 👍🍺
Hi James,
First time commenter but I’ve been going through your catalogue and just wanted to tell you that I think you are an excellent father. Don’t know you from Adam but your relationship with your daughter is something special. That’s pretty cool 😊. I’m a teacher and I’ve seen some pretty dubious parenting in my time.
Cheers mate. Easy job to be honest, lucky Dad. All the best. 👍🍺
I laughed a lot for the last few minutes. 😆 😂 Love your humour BTW I am Thai.
Cheers, it was fun to make and a nice place to stay.👍🍺
You do love your mountain view James.. cool video by the way. 😁
Cheers David. Indeed, love a good mountain view lol.👍🍺
Superb +1 😂🎉. Great savings on the flights ✈️🛫! Serious bucket list destination 👍.
Yes, great for a small break. Loved it.👍🍺
Great Vlog James, it's difficult choosing which Thailand Vlogs to watch as every 'Digital Nomad' and 'Ebegger' has been sending out Soi 6 and my life on 500 baht a day and yes You Tube is a job Vlogs. Yours are always quality and interesting and I'm an old timer been living/visiting Thailand since the 90's.
Cheers mate, appreciate it. I'll have to shelve the ' my life on 500 baht' vid. 😁👍🍺
@@jamesabroad8589 Please do LOL!!!
500 baht per day!!?? That's way too much. I live on 200 baht a day!
@@walking_in_the_shade I need to see that Vlog
Hilarious James. The quiet "auf wiedersehen" and other variations thrown in was a nice touch (very cunning linguist 😃). What's the temp and humidity like in that place. Is it higher altitude and a bit cooler, it looked like there was a bit of breeze. 🙏👍
Cheers Kerry. I was there last month and still very hot. I think would get pretty chilly in the cool season. All the best mate.👍🍺
Thanks James, great Vlog as usual, always informative and with your great sense of humour.
Would love to know the history of the place and who's idea to build such a resort...just so different "Amazing Thailand"
Cheers. It's only been up about 5 years, but other than that don't know much about it. There are some strange resorts up in Khao Yai so kind of blends in lol. 👍🍺
An amazing place ideal for a romantic getaway. Thanks for the video
Cheers Barry. Yes, nice for a weekend away. 👍🍺
Great vid. Place looks nice, so quiet though.
They should have shouted you the room, great free publicity :-)
Cheers frank. Maybe comped if a big youtuber, but I just showed up. the staff were great, letting me film them etc.👍🍺
What an unusual place for Thailand. I was pleasantly surprised at the prices as normally a captive audience gets soaked.
Yes, not a bad price for the size of the room and facilities.👍🍺
super hilarious! 😆....is there Italian blood in you? 😀
Haha, probably something from that area, Italian or Jewish. 😁👍🍺
Bellissima, with an "a" or you were saying her fella was handsome 😮😂🎉. I can't keep up with your comedy 👍😉👍.
I don't know what I'm saying or doing half the time in these videos LOL 😆
@@jamesabroad8589 It makes it fun. You hitting on the guy with the pretty girl who spoke Italian was the best bit 🤣🤣🤣. Brilliant 👍.
I think you're more Gianni Agnelli....your best line was asking the couple if they are from Italy, yet oddly, they were from the Phillipines 😂
Most people I bumped into thought I was Italian LOL until I opened my mouth.😁👍🍺
Is it possible to visit without staying at the hotel? Looks amazing
I believe you need a booking to enter the main resort and club house. The Piazza near the hotel is accessible. No gates anyway. 👍🍺
There’s sure same amazing hotels in Thailand complete with golf courses. There’s around 22 golf courses near & at Pattaya Chonburi!!! Can’t beat them….
Yes, will try my best to investigate the interesting hotels in the future.👍🍺
Where there any other guests?
Yes, but not too busy during the week. 👍🍺
Fantastic I will have to go looked great so only one thing to say Mange Tout, Mange Tout Rodney and auf vedasane pet.
Cheers mate. I'll try to squeeze those in next time.😁👍🍺
You should have brought a tux and played 007 theme in one of your scenes..... The name is James..... James Abroad... 😅
Ha ha. Yes, need to get a tux. Lol. Hope all's well mate.👍🍺
@@jamesabroad8589 all good with me. Bouncing around all over Thailand... Except you area. Started road trip on the mekong and now in Malaysian. Fun trip!
Remember your tux next time ;)
All that is missing is Patrick McGoohan, and you could film one more episode of.....The Prisoner.
Haha yes, especially with the expensive suite with safety bars lol
Hilarious! You were mixing French, Spanish & Italian. I guess on purpose?
I think I squeezed some German in there too.😁👍🍺
😂😂 bloody good job
Cheers mike. 👍
Is this a Chinese deceloper? they seem to have an affinity for recreating european communities. Reminds me a little of Las Vegas’ Venetian Casino😅
Not sure to be honest. Certainly a ton of money spent on the development. 👍🍺
Putting ketchup on pizza is just WRONG. You need a good slap mate, LOL
Agree, and I'm not Italian.
@@kerryobrien71 Neither am I
I would have preferred HP sauce.😁👍🍺
"Buenos días" 🇪🇸. Oops 😮😊. You did that on purpose 😂😢. Shame they spelled "Pinocchio" wrong on the sign. 😅

Sounds great to me lol. It does a hidden money vibe to it, but enjoyed spending a night there. Hope all's well. 👍🍺

You're not even eating Italian food, get with it James. 🤣
Pizza?🤔👍🍺
Ketchup with pizza isn't "civilized," it's an abomination. I give the Thais a lot of leeway when it comes to food because they're obviously so good at it, but the ketchup on pizza thing is a bridge too far.
I was taking the pi**.👍🍺
@@jamesabroad8589....i was thinking..."James you sick b@stard.... You've been in Thailand too long! 😅😅😅
Man your Italian is like Delboys French - Mange Toot 😂😅🤣
I'll take that as a compliment.😁👍🍺
Bellissimo vlog from bellissimo James 🤌

Would have made my back worse trying to put them on. 😁👍🍺
