I met one of my subscribers Rob about 10 months ago. He sold everything and moved to Thailand on an OA visa. I always get a lot of questions asking what Rob is up to? So it’s been one year and we are going to catch up with him and see what he has been doing.

M O R E A B O U T U S
My name is Brian but everyone calls me Greeny. I retired in January of 2020 after working 30 years in Law Enforcement. I wanted to retire young enough to be able to do some of the things I always dreamed about! I knew I wanted to travel extensively and retire somewhere warm and exotic I sampled a ton of places in the Caribbean, Panama, Colombia, Turkey but set my sights on Thailand. In 2020 I met Fai on a Tinder date and we hit it off immediately. We have been inseparable ever since!
I started making videos as a hobby but now it is more like a passion.

Good update and scenery. I am like Rob retired and sold everything and in Thailand now but not ready to settle in here until I do more travel to other countries which is challenging
Very challenging right now. I think when things open back up Rob will do some more international exploring as will I.
Lol, poor Rob didn't get to take a bite the whole time :)
Lol. He caught up.
Rob spoke of highs and lows. It would be cool to hear about some of the low times and how he navigated the situations to get through them. Great video thanks.
Next time we hook up
Nice interview Greeny. Thanks for the info on Rob. 🙏👍
Appreciate it!!
Greeny.good interview.sounds like he's adapted to Thailand.its not for everyone.ive been here over 10 years now.ive adapted very well to LOS.he never talked about a lady in 1 year .did have a gf or bf here.wish him luck on his journey in life.keep it rollin
He is experiencing Asia like no one I’ve met. Now he’s living on a farm in some remote area of Vietnam
@@GreenyTravels wow.sound like the man has gone from the penthouse to the outhouse lol.but I thinking he's happy in life.next he will be going around buck naked swinging on vines in the jungle.wish him the best.keep it rollin
nice video, I'll be there in January 2023
Awesome. Great time to come. Way less humidity
My daughter and I rode in a train car similar to the one he was on. We were on our way to Buriram to visit my daughter’s grandmother. What an adventure…summer, 10+ hour trip and no air. My daughter enjoyed it which was a plus.
What an adventure
Rob, definitely a minimalist guy. I like how you interview, it's very tactical but very Greeny classic style. I enjoyed it. I would avoid all places with hippies and dreadlocks.
Lol. Thank you. Yep. He can survive a serious minimal lifestyle
Aloha Greeny! Enjoyed hearing about Rob's adventures. When I relocate to Thailand, I'd like to do something in aviation. But I'm thinking that paraglider might be a bit too sketchy for me! Very wise to get the training and proper license. Bill
He’s really into it.
Next video, Rob died of starvation with a massive sandwich in his hand
😂
I kind of like the high rise condo complex..I rent one in Montreal with indoor pool,semi private gym,rooftop terrace and lounge with pool table for $2100. Obviously no ocean view..How much would this run for in Phuket ?
Not really high rises in Phuket but for 1k you could get an amazing place
Nice interview .. insider views
Good job Greeny
Thank you!! Appreciate it!!!!
Thanks for your video. Great Job.
Keep up the good work 🇺🇸Greeny🏝
Thanks Jim!!
@@GreenyTravels and I forgot to thank you
@@GreenyTravels
And Thanks So Very MUCH for Giving me All the information to Fly
Back to the States.
I just made it in time to see my 🥰MOM😇for Christmas🍀
AS YOUR the BEST🏝
🍀GREENY🇺🇸
SEMPER🇺🇸FIDELIS
Great interview!
Thank you!!
What's your favorite place so far besides Pattaya? I'm thinking about visiting Chang Mai in a couple weeks. Too cold right now you think?
Pai was amazing if you like the outdoors. Lots of things to do. Hiking, tubing, mountains. If you like the water I loved Koh Tao. Really cool vibe there
19:40 Rob finally gets to take the first bite of his sandwich 😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Took a bit
@@GreenyTravels Lol, why do you all think Rob is so thin, food is not on his mind like we all are.
Where is this place (Pattaya, Phuket, Chiangmai, etc.) where you interviewed Rob and eating the Banh Mi? Where is Rob living in Thailand? I mean Pattaya, Phuket, Chiangmai, etc.
We were in Pai. Now I’m heading to Bang Saray and he is headed to Phuket
Very fit for his age. Goes to show how beneficial cycling is.
Swimming. Lifting. He does it all
Is that sandwich in Pattaya? Can't find it on maps. Thinking about trying.
Lol. No it’s up in Pai
Hey Greeny nice interview with Rob.... one thing I am curious about, does Rob intend to make Thailand his forever home or will he also travel around the world and spend time in other countries as he has done with Thailand this past year?
I thinks when things open up he will travel more internationally.
Chad @ CB Media just left Thailand because of the upcoming mandate’s in Thailand, and all over Southeast Asia. Brian what’s your thoughts, what would it take for you to come home to the US.✌️
Summertime. As long as the pool, gym and restaurants are open I’m fine. Bars, motor events and most other things don’t really effect me.
Luck favours the bold,never fails
👍👍
I am planning on moving to thailand in December. Selling everything . Where can I get a list of things to do before hand or hire a company to do everything? What kind of visa did you get?
Go back and skim through my videos. I cover most of that. Go back about a year and a half
Rob says " I learn" ... while stoically pauseing not taken in by deceptive tom fooleriy. LOL Just striuck me funny. But after a year growing in thailand, priceless. Cheers from chilly SC, USA, Thanks for sharing.
Stay warm!!
"tell them the whole story so I have time to eat my sandwich"
Exactly
@@GreenyTravels haha 😂
Where is Rob living now? I am planning to move to Chiang Mai.
He’s on his way to Phuket as we speak
great video as always
Thanks!! Appreciate it.
Any regrets Greeny on buying a place right off the bat? Do you wish you had rented for a year or two before deciding where to live?
No. It’s a great base. I really just have too much stuff and need a base.
Rob's a machine.
Yep.
He's in great shape, though the last thing I would ever do is ride a bicycle on Thailand streets. That takes balls.
He’s a little Baa Mak mak
The driving there is crazy!!!
Does Rob have a TH-cam channel or social media?
He may start something. If he does I will pass it along
Greeny a good interviewer ! like vin Scully
Lol.
Ban mi! It's Vietnam without the travel.
I can’t wait to get the real thing
What does it cost to live in a place like the one he described that had a fridge. TV in a bef just a comparison to his original condo
Aground from 16k to 5-7k Baht a month
@@GreenyTravels 200 a month lol Jesus my cable and Ac is doing me that here
Rob is ripped. You need to start working out him... more eye to eye contact, less eye to egg contact ;)
Lol. Eye to egg.
I think the interview would’ve been better before/after lunch, so the interviewer isn’t constantly munching on his sandwich during it 😁
This was supposed to be a casual meeting with questions and answer. I liked it. Typical Greeny style👍
Yep. Was supposed to be per lunch.
I liked the lunch, made it more casual. Not coming here to see the nightly news interview haha
I was so focused on those sandwiches that I missed most of the interview...
Me too 😂
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster?!
It is
I don’t think the guy in the Detroit shirt had a f’n clue what he was talking about
Still trying to figure it out.
Is Rob ex-military?
No. I think he missed his calling.
Great interview, great location and i gotta be honest, would have preferred it without the eating, really off putting................
Ok. No more eating. It was planned to be a casual conversation over lunch but….
@@GreenyTravels I love your honesty, it's refreshing...................
Did this guy just call me a dummy?
And me a dummy?
And me 😂
What’s your thoughts on living there if not interested in vaxx.
They frown on it. Probably can’t get into certain places. Or may have to take a atg test
That sandwich would cost $12 in New Jersey! Lol
Lol. Yea. Definitely. Was huge!
Greeny's really into that sandwich.
Soooo delicious
Let’s eat or talk first 🤣 do one thing at a time 😛
Lol. Sorry boss 🙃
@@GreenyTravels don't talk with you mouth full of food, per lady boss
Poor dude you hand him his sandwich @ least let him eat it 😎🙏
Lol. He’d rather talk than eat. I’d rather eat than talk. Isn’t it obvious 😂
Smooth move Green Man... Give the man a great sandwich and then not let him eat it...
He could have eating. I can easily edit out those parts
Good one Greeney. Rob is a bit of a fruitcake for sure but it was interesting.
Thank you!!
Comment
🙏🙏👍👍
🇹🇭🇺🇸🇦🇺🍺🤟🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏
hahaha, great vid Greeny!
And yes, not fat ass and that's from a dude, some chicks may like it though.
Lol.
Why the whole sandwich eating and talking with your mouth full! Turned me off right away and I actually wanted to watch the video because of the content but couldn’t take greeny eating the whole time!!!
Lol. Sorry looked bad. Was supposed to be a conversation over lunch
Good to hear this but he needs a little work on his story telling lol
Lol. I tried to help him along.
Glad to see you guys wearing the face diaper under your chin😂
😂
You never said where you are. Lol
Lol. Pai. Sorry.
@@GreenyTravels I kinda guessed when you said it was cold. And the dreadlocks
i think he's still in chiang mai.
Fanny pack 😂 we call it a bum bag
Lol. That’s funny too
