Ha Ha, ya. I guess I smell like shampoo. I use Head and Shoulders and conditioner. But, I must have got a bottle of Clear body wash, then switched to the Shampoo by accident. Then I kept getting the same thing for another year. Oh well.
lol on the soap story. I can see how easily that could happen. I’m always trying to figure out which powder soap goes for the laundry. I usually take a picture of a brand I know works and then try to match it in the store. Even that isn’t easy. 😅
Joe... Had no idea where you were going with that soap comment. And then bam... showering with shampoo. Classic! Fun way to learn though. :o) Keep the vids coming.
You & me both Brother! Can't deal with people nor traffic congestion. Don't mind the high temps but the humidity can be uncomfortable. Visited Hong Kong in the early 70's and used the same daily multiple shower routine. Visiting Thailand for a month in October. Thanks for sharing the adventure.
Too funny Joe- shampoo and/or body wash both get the job done. Good points about the heat- the humidity takes a little getting used to for most Californians who have never been to Asia. You have a very positive attitude. *Just wondering if you’ve seen Japanese eye drops 💦 (so incredible) in the markets or Don Quixote Mall in Thonglor ?😊
Ya man. Soap is soap to me. Today I have fancy Japanese body wash. That's cool. I still use the shampoo. Never heard of the Japanese drops. I use the refresh drops once in awhile. Only when the smog is bad. I seem to rub my eyes.
@@EagerExpat If there is a Don Don Donkey around the drops are made by SANTEN and are so powerful and refreshing. p.s. Japanese sodas and shampoos are the bomb !
I live in hot and humid Houston, TX. I like to believe I’m used to the climate but I never experienced Bangkok in April/May. Oh and I learned something new. Texas Chicken is the same as Church’s Chicken in the U.S. 😄
@@EagerExpat Yea I'm south Louisiana myself. I was wondering how it would compare to here. Sounds like about the same. Love your walks around town. Keep it up.
Do you ever go to the Hooters there? I was thinking that when I relocate to Thailand "Jomtien" I should stay in Bangkok for a week to get acclimated to everything and I am most familiar with their food. So I'm thinking about staying somewhere around Soi 4, not a big partier but starting with something familiar and branching out a little. I'll be working EST hours so I'll need a somewhat quiet space at night hours for the most part.
If you need quite stay far away from Soi 4. That's the Vegas strip of Thailand. If you want to eat at Hooters, look at a place on Soi 15. They have a second Hooters there. You can also get plenty of western food on Soi 13. Plenty of pubs. Don't worry about the food. It's all here. But Thai food isn't that complicated. You can ease into it.
Ha ha, ya at least I took a chance and bought the Thai brand. Many expats just go for the name brand that is 5 times more. But, next time, I take my reading glasses and translate app.
😂 great story at the end there. You don’t sound like a bar soap guy, but I liked the Imperial? Bars at 7-eleven for like 29baht if you want to have one around for the “guests.”
How long on average do you spend editing for a video like this? I assume some of your other videos where you're just talking with the planes landing would be a far easier edit. And also if you could how long on average do spend on editing each week? Btw fellow Californian here and soon to be moving to SE Asia. Love your content and your easy going/every man nature. Great stuff!
How's it going. Editing is not too bad. I'm pretty good at shooting little 3 or 5 second clips. If I mess up, I just delete it on the scene. So 99% of the time I upload decent clips in order. If the video is 15 minutes long, I add a few titles if I said something wrong. I adjust the sound really fast. I try to not get pops between clips. I just do a bulk setting of .09 fade in and out. What takes time is I listen to the entire video for mistakes. If it's a 50 minute video, add another 15 minutes, adding description and tags for TH-cam. Plus, a simple edit. I also have to make a thumbnail. That might take 10 minutes. Then I save everything to a hard drive. That might take 10 minutes to move over 5 videos. I have fast internet, but it might take 5 minutes a video to upload. So bottom line, I can do a 15 minute video in 30 minutes. A complicated 1 hour video with screen shoots and tons of titles might take 3 hours. I usually shoot for 5 hours one day. Other days, I'll edit 3 or 4 videos all day. I also spend usually 30 minutes to an hour answering comments all day. I've did my best to answer every comment. I'm not sure how many thousands that has been in 2 years. As far as editing each week. Maybe 6 to 8 hours? I'm not sure. Some days, like today I've been online since 10am, I'll finish up at 10pm. Other days, I do nothing. It's just a fun hobby. I have nothing but time. Retirement is nice.
I bet you’ve been smelling delightful Joe 😂😂😂. Thanks for the video, this is about to be our neighbourhood 😊

Ya man, I did that too. The Thai brand is usually cheaper. These days it's easy. I go shop with Boon.

Ha ha, ya it only took me two years to figure that out. That's ok. It's probably all the same stuff
I used to stay in the Soi 11 Nana BTS area,,, but now I find it much better to stay and enjoy Phrom Phong and Thonglor BTS areas....
It's a nice area to live. Close to all, yet still quiet. Phrom Phong is perfect for me
Another fun video. Love it. Always enjoy seeing the hustle and bustle of Bangkok even if I can’t be there. Thanks Joe. Appreciate you brother.
Ya man. It's always busy around town. I love it

You'll have a great trip. October is right around the corner.
@@EagerExpat Thank you so much! Just got to get out of Southern California for some R&R.
😂soapy joe😂well is probably all the same,but the writing says.. soap , shampoo, conditioner 😊i love your wee vlogs❤🙏
This is true, but all the writing was in Thai. I also accidentally bought the salt toothpaste. I gotta start bringing my reading glasses. Ha ha
It’s called a Navy shower. Doesn’t matter as long as it lathers up.
@@theamazingjustin Ya I did 4 years on a ship. I know all about a 1 minute shower. A Thai lady... not so much
I very much appreciate the videos that you create. Thank you for sharing. Will check out the links.
Glad you like them. More to come

*damn auto correct / soaps not sodas
Seriously considering Bang Saray...nice coastal area.
That's great. Give it a try. I miss being near the water.
Cool vlog ❤
Glad you enjoyed
Nice one again mate thanks chok dee
Thank you very much

Houston heat is no joke. You should be fine in Bangkok. I'm used to 70 degrees every day, and I'm doing fine

You use shampoo for soap, I once burned water...everyone makes mistakes. :) Hey, good vid...making all of us want to come back.

Ha ha. No, just one guest here. She bought the right soap.
Hurrying home in that taxi Joe at midnight. I see Boon only gave you Cinderella Liberty!🤘
@@LunaMiel186 Ha ha, she's a little more reasonable, then my 3am nights. That's a good thing.

Soap is soap..LOL
Ha ha, ya I agree. But I also bought the salt tooth paste by mistake. I won't do that again
