✅TRAVELS WITH MY GIRLFRIEND IN THAILAND | May Q&A | Monkeys | Food | Beaches | Hua Hin & Ratchaburi

- Time for another trip! Myself & May took a few days break down to Hua Hin via Ratchaburi where we experienced the Nassata Light Festival, stayed at a slightly remote homestay and rode the locals roads on our bike. The next day we took the only train to Hua Hin and had a look around in the short time we had there. We saw the markets, Monkey mountain, historic railway station, and stayed at a decent condo rented from a BnB company. I also sat down with May and asked her a few questions so some of you could get to know her better! It was a bit of a rushed trip but a great chance to chill out for a few days away from Bangkok.

What makes her tick? Physics apparently! Hey here's an idea, go up to Ngad Dam, north of Chiang Mai stay over in a floating hotel, jump in the water and call it the closest to the Polar Bear club your going to get. I double dog dare ya! If she has a sister I'll go with ya!
Ooo we were so close to discovering the secret to eternal life!!
Another good vid, Pat. I’ll suggest that in a future ‘couples’ video you allow May to put you on the spot and ask you 10 unrehearsed questions. 😎 mahalos & aloha 🤙🏾
I was year and half ago in Hua Hin on way to Kanom Beach.Yes was Ghost Town compare too pre Covid time
Jeez a person with a physics degree that also meditates is special. Thank you for taking us on this journey with May.
May seems like a lovely lady ( smart and good looking as well), I could tell that not from her answers but from the way she would lay her hand on your forearm when replying to some of the questions.
Cheers Gav, indeed she is lovely I definitely agree 😍
Nice relaxing trip with your lady, nothing better , coincidence you mentioned the Specials as sadly Terry Hall passed away this morning. Keep up the good work with lovely Mae. As they say where you’re from. Proper bird 💗🇹🇭🙏
I just heard that as l was uploading. I liked The Specials, and l've described a few places using the Ghost Town analogy, srrangely enough l almost cut that part out....Sad coincidence. Thanks Stevie.
May came across as a nice, kind and thoughtful person! You are a lucky person Pat!
🙏🙆
Yes l sure am! 😍
Your particular style of story telling can be done on so many towns and cities and it wouldn’t be like many rehashing by other cloggers. Great work Pat! Thank you!😊
Agreed. I would love to see more non-Bangkok related videos.
As would I. Pat definitely has a great way of doing videos about place. (typo in Brian's post .. "cloggers"... 😁)
Really like the transition that the channel is going through. Your cinematic professionalism is simply exceptional
The Royal Pavilion is not under restoration, it just hasn't been painted in a very long time!
The old locomotive was first standing opposite the railway station as some kind of monument. Because of the new railway construction they moved it to the spot were it is now. Abandoned and allmost forgotten... The houses next to it have been broken down, so at least the loc is now visible from the road.
wifey and i spent a couple of days at hau hin, she loved the food and i spent quite a bit of time " train spotting " at the station... a very good movie, far better than the " bar / girls " video from others...
Gotta say, the Thais know how to enjoy life. Love Hua Hin, a favourite of mine.
I love the second installment of Pat and May's road trip adventures. Great body language and observe how she strokes your arm during conversations (both vids) it's spontaneous and very sweet. She digs you bro.
Glad you enjoyed it Michael, cheers!
"She digs you, bro." 😁👍
Enjoyed it very much. Was worth the effort and no doubt you both enjoyed the change from Krungthep.😉
Your video's just went up 30% to 130%, thanks for including May in them it gives them a whole new perspective.
🙏🙆
At 11:21 that sign which reads "beware of trains" immediately gave me the impression that provincial trains sometimes leave the tracks and go after passengers to bite their legs hahaha
I was in Hua Hin a few weeks ago. Sorry to see the state the old station is in.
My first visit to Hua Hin was in 1980. The station master took great pride in keeping the place clean. I believe it was at that time voted the nicest railway station of Thailand.
Let's hope they find money to preserve the old station.
Knowing them it will be a 7-11
The Iris Homestay is what I would call a pleasant mistake.
Lovely place and decent breakfast lots of salad and fruit plate included amongst the usual thing! Last time I stayed at an Ibis was in Sathon and there were Chinese tour groups battling eachother at the buffet in 2016.
Nice video mate. Your girl May is lovely. She adds another dimension to your channel . Thanks
13.50 god that food looked great im so hungry right now i could almost taste that , it kept me awake for hours , the light show was great too , when the thais put their mind to it they can really get stuff right when they want to , see you o the next one
Very well done! I loved this! Thank you Pat!
Great video. Your girlfriend seem so nice. I am coming over in early january. Even though I have been to Thailand so many times in my life, this time will be a bit scary. First time with celiac disease diagnosis. I really hope it will turn out well.
I have to use my reading glasses all the time too! Its a really debilitating experience until you recognize the need. "The sun doesn't set over the beach"....classic!
Riveting stuff, Pat - simply riveting - I was almost "Blinded by the light"....🙂....(You know, the Manfred Mann hit)...🙂
Cheers but that was ELO wasn't? Oh hang on...we've been through this before..ok Manfred Mann...
Club Tropicana 🤣Drinks are free? What a road trip, I would love to have it one day myself!! You guys make a great couple, Pat you've gotta learn to love dogs too😇
Another great video...watched it today the day that we got the sad news about the passing of the great terry hall...so the ghost town reference was uncanny...keep up the great work
16:56 May major in Physics, I'm like, oh wow.. I'm definitely impressed. Pat, we know you're infatuated with May (as much as we do too) but we also need you to dig out the historical facts & ghost stories of those places : )
Great job and thanx for the homestay, condo reviews. You're correct: Hua Hin Station is worth sharing. You and Mae are shaping up as a good team. Keep it coming! Cheers!
Great co host and railway adventures are a hit!!
We wouldn't have it any other way. We'll take the train to a historic cat cafe in the next video...
Great video Pat. I haven't watched you for 6 months or so as I was struggling with various things. Good to see some sun and Hua Hin is my type of place. Good to see your channel has grown 👍
Hi Rob, hope things are getting better for you. Thanks and next time don't stay away so long!!!
@@BangkokPat many thanks Pat. I'll catch up on the videos I've missed first 😂.
You got a wonderful and seemingly very gentle lady by your side. What a lucky dude!
She's a lovely young lady and very bright with Major in Physics. 👍
Love it Pat!
Never fail!
Such a quirky honest guy with girlfriend in tow!
Thank-you as always!
See you soon you lovely couple!
🌶️🌶️🇭🇲🇹🇭🍻🇹🇭🇭🇲🌶️🌶️BigB
Pat, you got your special style. Keep the videos coming. Nothing wrong bringing your lady in the videos. Special seems as relaxed as you.
Hi Pat & May! I can tell you both one thing for certain, that, when you both decide to have children, they are going to be intelligent, no doubt. You both are compatible. May seems to be a lovely person. So, good on you to have found her, Pat. I enjoy "tagging along" with you two. Oh, I've tried meditation once or twice, couldn't make it pass 5 minutes! I'm too hyper for that. I'll try May's strategy next time.
I love the polo shirts hanging up! You need to keep the costumes and props in shape!
Can't film without those polo shirts! The mic clips on at the right spot for good audio. T-shirts won't work, voice too deep and not as clear!
@@BangkokPat I remember listening to your interview with the Bangkok Podcast guys and you mentioned just that. Makes sense. Now the polo-shirt is part of your brand.
Thanks for a nice video I did the same trip in November but I left Bangkok from Wongwian yai station and did the trip via a ferry to Samut Songkram and the train market, stayed there over night and next day took the local bus to Ratchaburi. Then the train to Hua Hin.
Really enjoyed the journey It was a great start to my holiday. Keep up the good work, what about a canal trip Video ?
I loved it. I will be in Hua Hin in 3 weeks time and look forward to retracing some of your steps.
Worth the trip to Khao Takiap for the monkeys, Tamarind market & Cicada food market. Best part of Hua Hin l think.
May is lovely.
You should do more with her
Enjoy !!! I was freezing so much in the train from Bkk to Hua Hin. I don''t understand, why they always turn aircon to its maximum.
Thank you for showing us green nature now and your future wife !!! ;)
3rd class is the way to go by train, no aircon lots of wind!
Khun Pat, I always enjoy your vids, information and personal insights. This vid was awesome! TY for sharing some of your personal side and Hua Hin. I haven't been there yet and now I want to take the train from Phuket there :) TY
Thanks and glad you enjoyed it. Hua Hin is great for a few days break, make sure you get the train!
Awesome content as always ☺️👌🏻👌🏻 Keep up the amazing uploads and stay Blessed
Thanks for the kind words 😍
Another nice video Pat. The steam loco used to rest across from the ticket office until they started the building of the new station. I know it was there at least 13 years ago.
She is clever, a major in Physics. Nice video. Merry Christmas to you and your gf. 💕💕😊😊
Thanx for taking the time to chat with us at Phloen Chit BTS station today! It was really cool to meet you in person! Keep up the vlogging, excellent work!
Nice to meet you too Jay. Great to put faces to the viewers and subscribers.
My wife's hometown is Ratchaburi, and we have spent great time in Hua Hin, so thanks for this video. And congratulations for meeting such a nice and smart lady ( I am a cat person too :) )
Great to hear that! Thank you for the kind words 😍
@@BangkokPat wonder why millions don’t follow you?
Its great high quality content! Reminds me of good documentaries back in the 90s. No hype just quality
@@CC-dx6bc Time is on my side, it'll take a while I reckon.....
Ghost Town by the Specials was my favirote track when i was a kid. I used to dance around like a mad man when my dad used to play it 🤣
That was a coincidence. And l've often used the Ghost town analogy in other videos. Sad!
Another great video Pat please keep them coming, enjoyed it more with input from May
🙏❤️🐱
Wow Pat, Very Good Vlog, you are a very lucky man, traveling beautiful Thailand and May, what can I say, a very beautiful lady on the inside and the outside, very smart beautiful lady, hope we see more of May.....Pat, she complements you, a beautiful couple , Take care stay safe, see you both in the next one, Cheers and Best Wishes
🙏❤️🙆
Wow very nice Pat. Yes much better than Ibis certainly. You also have won the lottery there with Mai 🙏 Very hard to find a Thai lady that isn’t just after money!
Hi Khun Pat .. Thanks for another informative video, and chat with smart Khun May as well .. By the way, Iris Guesthouse is a comfy place to stay too👍🙏😁
🙏🙆
I agree Dan, it is an oasis away from Bangkok!
I really enjoyed this one. Keep up the great work.
Crikey Pat, I could never be with someone who is a physics graduate..... every other minute she'd be thinking why am I with this idiot !!
Great video. The beach or mountain question to May was a good one.
I stayed in La Casita in early 21. Nice place but we found it a bit too far from HH centre.
If you had breakfast in the little place next to it (Issan Restaurant I think), yes the food was very good.
Stayed in the centre of HH over songkran this year and much preferred it.
Nice town and lovely beach.
IME Thais don't volunteer much information about themselves, so it was clever of you to use YT as an excuse to continue the GF interview process... 555
At 13.37 the place on the right were they're all queuing does great kebabs & Roti.
Small but very tasty.
RIP Terry Hall.
I think the video didn't upload the end correctly...
Cheers Andrew, we did eat next to Casita a couple of times, very good!
Awesome footage . I havent watched any Utube in a while . Love the interior train stuff . On the toiletries I have a massive collection fron all the hotels my wife and I stay in . Even after 3 years of covid restrictions I am yet to run out of hotel soap. I think its a real positive to put May in your vlog . I would like to see her interview you Pat . The fact you filmed cats on a train is pretty legendary.
My wife and I went to the same light festival last week in Ratchaburi. It was pretty cool to see.
Thanks for sharing your travel with us. May looks like a very nice person and seeing you interacting felt like actually being there with you guys. Love the fact that she is always holding your arm - reminds me of my girlfriend, who is Taiwanese. Enjoy the trip!
🙏❤️
Nice to have May compliment you in your vids Pat. “This town coming like a ghost town” brings back memories. Sadly Terry Hall of the Specials passed a few days ago. Keep up the good work, enjoy them all Pat.
Thank you, l use the Ghost Town analogy a lot as l love that band, and this video was shot 10 days ago.
I'm glad to get to know May. I think it is good to have some out-of-town adventures. Bangkok is pretty intense
🙏😊
Another great video, thank you, Pat. Useful reference for our forthcoming trip to BKK and Hua Hin. Probably won't drag the family on the train, though 🤔. Ratchaburi and Phetchaburi looked really nice as you travelled through.
Schoolboy error expecting a sunset from an east-facing beach 😂.
Great info, thank you.
I'm a long time subscriber & first time commenting. May is great! Hang on to her - smart too!!! Love the videos!!!
🙏❤️
Thank you Pat for your videos, I really appreciate them. You are by far the best Thailand TH-camr.
You are a wonderful couple, looks like real love for life.
🙏 🐱🐱
Hua hin looks fairly busy now , I was there end of August was like a ghost town , good to see it’s on the up again 🙏
I love how the landscape changes as you get closer to Hua Hin two places to go Ban Khun por and cheap lunch on monkey mountain.
Thanks Marc it is quite a nice view. Be careful on Monkey Mountain, bring bananas otherwise you'll end up as lunch.
@@BangkokPat Funny story, I was doing a beach cleanup with Trash Heroes and offered to go up the mountain. I was warned to watch out for the monkeys. I reached the top of the mountain and saw three old and bored monkeys. "Is that it?" I asked myself. I continued walking and picking up rubbish. In the distance the brown dirt road seemed to be moving up and down. it wasn't the road, it was hundreds of monkeys who set upon me and climbed in my trash bag looking for food. I didn't run, but slowly backed myself down the hill!
Pretty sure you're a long way out of your league there with the lovely Mae, Pat ;-) Hua Hin also has many Golf courses - one of the courses (The city course I think) has a special rule whereby if a monkey runs out and steals your ball off the fairway, you get a free drop - and that happens quite often I'm told. US Masters eat your heart out
Thanks for the compliment Chris! I've never played golf but I'll make a note of that golf course, just in case!
@@BangkokPat If you do decide to take it up at any stage Pat, Hua Hin is the place to go. Many courses ranging from beginner to pro. A word of warning though, many have been pushed to the brink of insanity playing golf me included. I think it was Churchill who said, Golf is a good way to spoil a nice walk.
It's sad about the new stations as most of the old ones will be destroyed as per what happened in Khon Kaen. It had a lovely old station but was all swept away for a concrete monstrosity...... Although it is good the SRT is being modernised but a bit less 'brutalist' architecture would be nice....... Although i believe Hua Hin's old station will be kept although in use for something else.....
fantastic editing skills and fab cinematic music choice as always, happy travels Pat! keep exploring
Cheers Michael! 😎
Merry Christmas, Pat. The 305 loco was built in 1925 by Baldwin, USA. With 2-8-2 configuration, it's a 'Mikado'. Baldwin had produced 70,000 locos by 1951 when the company amalgamated. It was the world's biggest loco producer for much of its existence.
Cheers for the info mate, l just went by the plate on the side!
@@BangkokPat Nice video for all, cheers.
Great video Pat, even though I don't particularly like Hua Hin. Any village in Isaan is less boring. Yes, more May please. She is so smart and interesting.
Merry Christmas to you pat 🇸🇽
good video, I liked the map links you included
Good vid Pat but don’t forget your usual dose of historical stories about each location to make them extra interesting.
Cheers Tim, next video has a good dose of history!
Just come back from hua hin beautiful place. I stay at the Centara. Been going to hua hin for over 14 years now love it
Great to hear May’s Q&A. Another great video. Cheers Pat.
Cheers Ben!
Hi Pat. Video froze at 26.40. Thout it was my laptop but audio continued through to the end without moving images. I'll try again in case it's my end. Cheers.
Was a processing issue. Internet cut during upload. Shame but the video was a minute from the end anyway!
Thanks to both of you, this journey to Hua Hin out of Ratchaburi was a real pleasure. I love travelling by train all over Asia & THAÏLAND is no exception.
I am also sure not to be the only one appreciating all May’s complementary comments.
Thanks for the map! Great video!
Glad you liked it! Cheers Nick😇
Fantastic again. 💐☕️☕️
I liked La Casitas pool and fitness when I stayed there.
Good place to stay, a bit too enclosed to stay long term though but nice!
spectacular images and a professional way to take us with you on your journey. Thanks from Rome
Your videos are very good. Keep going and you’ll be at 1 million subs soon
Thanks Tim, might take a while but you never know!
Beautiful, smart and cordial defines May ! You guys compliment each other and as always another great video bro ! 👍🤛
🙏🙆
You guys are so cute together
🙏🙆
Really pleasant video with much thanks. So happy that the weather seems to have finally settled into the dry season same as here in Saigon where I live which has very similar climate and where we all can look forward to the next few months !!!
Great vlog and enjoyed the interview with May. Cats won !!!!!!!! I can’t believe it cost 50p for a 2 hour train journey 👏👏👏 Hua Hin is a really nice town. The hotel looked great . It was very quiet around monkey mountain. Pat how strange is that you mention the specials ghost town in your vlog today and Terry hall 🙏🙏🙏passed away today
Cheers Jimmy, That was a coincidence. And l've often used the Ghost town analogy in other videos. Sad! The train ride is great on that route, l couldn't get to both sides of the train to film enough!
May is so cute, a natural on camera. Enjoyed the Q & A and HH sights. Youre a lucky bloke
Thanks Greg, appreciate the kind words😍
Saved it for a Christmas Day watch, and wasn’t disappointed! Hope you had a great Christmas and best wishes to you both for 2023! 🎉.
Thank you David. You too!
I really like the music at the Light Show! Another great video Pat. Thanks for everything.
I was there in February 2020. They did a lot of new builds on the railway stations, especially the high level platforms to make it easier to enter the trains. Great, I like train traveling. Pat, get yourself a camera with 60 frames per second recording for the journeys. It will increase your video quality tremendously and we can enjoy your rides much better. It will also get yourself more likes.
Your videos are truly superb.
Having been prohibited from travelling to Bangkok during the pandemic, your videos, well researched and well filmed, have provided a much appreciated sense of what it is like actually being there.
Thanks Davod.
Funny you mentioned ghost town. Terry Hall died yesterday very sad time for me.
That was a coincidence. And l've often used the Ghost town analogy in other videos. Sad!
Very nice coincidental tribute to The Specials. RIP Terry Hall
I shot this last week, little did l know that Terry Hall would depart this world. But l suppose it's a tribute of sorts..
You two are awesomely awkwardly cute together! Lots o' fun!
🙏🥰
Many thanks for sharing your adventures with may. She seems sweet. I'm way behind on peoples videos such as yours as i was on my vacation. Hope is all well. Best wishes. Mike 🍻
❤️🙏
Nice to see your expanding. Nobody has done a decent video on that Royal Club in Bangkok. Just a idea for you .... and I'm interested if horse racing has resumed.
Wow! Physics major. It is just how I imagined your girlfriend to be. Smart and pretty. 😊
Terry Hall RIP gets a mention. Merry Crimbo mate.
Filmed it last week before his death, l often use the ghost town analogy to describe places!
Really cool, very calming.
Thank you very much, glad you liked it.
Like it when you travel to other provinces, you could cover all 77 that would be good.😮
I hope you both have a happy and productive 2023! 🇹🇭
Thanks again, another positive view of Thailand from you. Please to watch.
Thanks Adrian 😇
I wouldn't worry about your channel name, Bangkok Pat is you, Pat who live in Bangkok. It doesn't mean all your output has to be about Bangkok though...... It's good to see other places, either like this, as a road trip, or in your normal style. But keep the expanded horizons going..... How about your take on the Mae Klong Railway Market? Or the Jesada Technik Museum? Or how Pattaya became a city from the small fishing village it once was, all in the sapce of around 50 years?...... Just some food for thought.....
You're a lucky man, Mr Pat. All the best to you both
