I think all things considered mate, you've made the right choice for you and your family 👍. Your absolutely right in saying that those of us not born with a silver spoon in our mouths only get 1 or 2 chances in life to be happy and successful. Grab yours while you can and run with it. Hopefully by 2026 you and your family will be settled in your new home and have the life you want and deserve ❤️
Really respect you sharing your hopes and dreams on TH-cam. You are definitely doing the best you can. I have similar plans for 2025- sadly I'll be leaving on my own- for the same reasons as you. Hey- Bring on the misadventures!!! ❤ I'll be following your exploits wherever you are 😊 Love to you and yours xx
Couldn’t agree more! More than two decades ago I left Durban, South Africa (a sub-tropical paradise I called ‘home’) and emigrated to the UK. It was a massive decision and I left behind friends and family for a ‘better’ life in the UK, but it was hard and I struggled in relationships with cultural differences, and UK never felt like home. I did have an opportunity to emigrate to Australia when my son was very young, but decided to remain in UK and be there for my son. These days I’m too old to emigrate to Australia and similar to yourself I’m a normal person and not a trustifarian, so making a move to start over is more challenging for us. Over the past few years life in the UK hasn’t been great and there’s this growing desire within me to emigrate to warmer climates to enjoy my last few years without over-regulation, government interference and constant grey skies (I live up North). All the best for the future mate and I’m sure your kids will be thankful in time, Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🎅🎄
Awwww Adam, you take that opportunity and run with it pal. Don’t feel lonely or sad, you’re doing the best for you and your family. I’ve got everything crossed for ya bud and can’t wait to see this next major chapter unfold if you choose to share it with us. Merry Christmas buddy 🤗✨
I never doubted for a minute that you were a good family man Adam. It’s nobody’s business where you spend one Christmas to be honest but thank you for being so open and honest with us viewers and I wish you and your family all the very best 🙏🏽✨✨✨ Merry Christmas 🎄
I sincerely hope you will find a nice home for you and your family on Ko Samui soon. You seem like a genuinely nice guy and a family man so I'm rooting for you! Best of luck and keep us updated. Merry Christmas Adam!
Spot on Adam . if I was younger I would contemplate doing EXACTLY what you are doing . The UK has had it , the place that I knew has been ruined by a succession of non caring money grabbing people that I have nothing in common with ,I wish you every success for the future and also would like to thank you inspiring me and a great many others to get out there and do things that I wouldn't have tried before . Good luck to you and your fantastic family . Looking forward to seeing what you achieve
Yeh was a very different place growing up ..... on a personal level I've never been tied down to a place emotionally or mentally and always felt I'd keep moving to find the right place even from my late teens ... this place here in thailand I've found may also change but it's a good spot for now and I think I'll be gone by the time it changes too much 😀
This one hits all the feels, I agree with you 100%. Love all your videos and will continue to watch all your content. Wishing you all the very best , you absolutely deserve it. 😊🙏
Your family is the most important thing ever. You're doing the best for them and giving them an opportunity for a better life. No one can say that is a bad move. The UK is falling apart, I wish you all the very best for Christmas and the future. Take care & God bless 🙌
Never have I known someone who’s as genuine as you as a fellow Brit I personally agree it’s a broken country and you know what life is just to small to not take the opportunities in life and you have to make them happen! And you know what I’m very sure you will make it!
Long time follower here and I think you are making the right choice for you and your family. Just hearing you speak, you can see how passionate you are. And you are right. The UK is broken. I look forward to seeing all your new miss adventures, and I really hope you get that happy ending. You deserve it buddy.
Merry Christmas to you and your family buddy wish you all the very best you’ve got to do what’s best for you and your kids and I have to say I admire you mate well done here’s to a better year 👍👌❤️❤️🙏🙏
😢 bless you!! Christmas is always an emotional time, there are a lot of families that are as you described. I have a Filipino friend, his home place looks like something from a dream but he is a nurse in the uk because the money earned is better and he can send money home, I believe he is helping to buy his family home… what a lovely man he is, he has come on some of my TH-cam videos this year… there seems to be a big difference in personality of other countries, definitely are nicer. If I could advise you now I would say , Adam whilst emotions are running high at Christmas time to put off big decision making till after. Sorry to hear your family don’t bother with your kids, as I say you are not alone with that, my mum and dad were the same and after COVID the last year of their life I bonded as much as they were capable, then my dad died and then my mum a month after … life can be difficult but you have found your joy and am grateful you share with everyone. You are doing great, ‘ Top guy!! I wish you a merry Christmas x🎄
Hi Adam.You have many true followers on u tube and we all want and wish you the very best in what ever you decide ...I'm sorry to say that yes the u.k is broken and personally l think you should grab the chance to live over there with your family ..Just do it for your family's sake..We all love you Brother..God will guide you always..❤❤❤❤❤❤
I haven't watched your content on YT for a while Adam, but I used to watch your walking vlogs regular as I found them a d yourself interesting. Coming across this video today and listening to your heartfelt message and back story, I wish you and your family all the very best for the future mate. I'll call you mate because you did become my mate through your channel while watching and enjoying your intrepid journey's around the UK. Oh, and good luck with your new home hunt on a beautiful safe island for you all.
Hi Adam. I appreciate your honesty in telling your story. Yes, England is broken, it grieves me too. I don't have any ties so I could go, but my age is against me. Guess I am too comfortable in a house that is paid for. You must do what you think is right for you and your family. ilona
You’re a great guy. Thank you for all the videos. I hoped to cross your path in the UK next year and have a good chat and chill however, will wish you the best of luck in finding a new home in Thailand. Bless you and much love 🙏
As someone who travelled asia in the 90s i know you're doing the right thing. Sure it sucks missing Xmas with the kids but to chase a dream for the long run and have every Xmas on that beach with the family is a no-brainer
My heart goes out to you my dear friend. You make the best life for you and your family. Hopefully you will take us along with you on the big journey!! Merry Christmas my dear Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
Don,t ever apologize for doing the best for your family Adam . Allways family first above all in life .Enjoy your Christmas and hope you have a Happy New Year .
Think i guessed on your fb page ...ive really enjoyed your journeys round the uk but now you're sorting a future for the family and i wish you all the best.Good luck hope everything falls into place.
We’re on the North side of Samui now until Boxing Day if you fancy a beer with a couple of subscribers who quit their jobs to go exploring and you played apart in us trying van life!
You won’t see him unless you’ve got something to offer him. Everything he owns he’s had for free. Offer him a few thousand baht towards his new house, he’ll be with you in 10mins.
@@TimLemonn that’s just his style, if you’ve watched his channel you should know. That Oscar winning performance about not going home for Xmas was just unnecessary, yet he sits there crying even though his whole family have told him to stay & try and sort some paperwork out, it’s business and it’s been agreed upon so why is he crying ? Also he begged that ford galaxy under the pretence that he was gonna turn it into a hotel on wheels but just put his scabby old bed in it and carried on as he was, in fact he uses the little car more than the galaxy and that was also free…. He drives to subscribers houses, not to mingle and thank them but to collect free stuff that he’s been offered. Constantly dropping hints on every video about this tent and that pair of boots and lo and behold within a few weeks he’s got them for free. I’ve watched a thousand TH-cam travel channels and nobody comes close to this guy in terms of entitlement and begging. It’s embarrassing
Best of luck mate and I really hope it all works out for you and your family. Wherever you are in the world, and whatever crazy adventures you get up to, I'll still love watching. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2025
Good luck Adam, ive been looking at Thailand but online like u say property prices inflated, so best way is trecking about till you find that perfect home. Look forward to hearing of your new adventures in uhe country that touches your soul. Take care x
Well done for being open, transparent and honest! I applaud what you are doing taking the family back to their roots and you aint wrong .. england is broken and beyond fixing .. well done and best of luck in this exciting journey 💪❤️
You're a good guy Adam, go for it!!! Wish I could help you achieve it for you and your family but I'm like yourself, always skint, just trying to survive.... genuinely, all the luck to you all ❤
England is broken! Such prophetic words to have been genuinely spoken. The same applies for the USA and Australia and many other nations. I remember a saying, "I takes a villiage to raise a child." We have lost this. We barely know our neighbours now and we live alone... We need to get back to being a commumity. Kudos to yo and your family. I wish you all the best and my heart goes out to you.
Wishing your family the best of luck. Your heart is there go for it. You only have one life. Go live it all of you. Merry Christmas and a VERY Happy New Year. We will all miss you but you can always hop on a plane for a holiday in England. Good Luck ❤
Wow, good luck to you and your family. ❤❤ Wishing you all the best❤❤ Britain is truly broken, I don't blame you for wanting a better life in a beautiful country.☀️🏝 Wishing you a Very Happy Christmas🎁🎄🎅🎉🎈🎊 Hope you find your new house soon and are reunited with your loved ones before too long.🤞🙏❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the summary. All makes sense. In life we all have be brave and shake things up sometimes. I think you're doing it for beautiful reasons. I wish your whole family success! And very happy to follow the story as it unfolds!
I'm in a similar boat mate but the Philippines not Thailand. I am stuck here in the UK because we need to make sure our pensions will sustain us in the Philippines. We will work as hard as we can to get back out there but if we go now we will surely go broke eventually. I wish you all the best and I really hope it works out for you. I fully understand how difficult this conundrum is for you. Merry Christmas mate.
I’ve had my eye on Philippines too because language barrier is half the struggle, and my other half works with Filipino’s remotely and their English is impeccable. Also I’m used to living in a third-world country as I spent the first 30 years of my life living in Africa.
@@Paulie44 yep English is their 2nd language it is taught in schools, most Filipinos speak English. There are many considerations but as you have already experienced third world economies I doubt you need me to spell them out to you, but if you have any questions I could probably answer them or point you in the right direction 👍
@@ElizabethDavis-r5s thank you, I have never let the thoughts of others bother me, what they think of me is none of my business as they say lol. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Adam to you and your family, missing one Christmas with their blessing to try and organise a lifetime together for your family is a noble mission you have taken. Unlike many TH-camrs part of the reason we follow you is that you are just a normal family man, you’ve introduced us all to your wife and children so we all know you, thanks for sharing and best of luck finding and fulfilling the dream.
Great meaningful video Adam....... as a father of 3 young kids myself I 1respect and admire you massively for doing the best thing for your family, that's ALL that matters!. Merry Christmas to you and your family bro and I can't wait to see your new chapter unfold!. Big, big love mate ❤ x
100% support your decision. I have everything crossed for you and your family. I travelled in '87 Thailand, Malaysia and all over for months. Get how you feel big time. Merry Christmas and good luck with your plans x
More power to you Adam,you know better than anyone else what’s best for you and your family and it’s no ones business but yours!!! Stay strong and there are many more Christmasses to celebrate!!! Merry Christmas to you!!❤️
You got to do what’s best for you & your family. Missing one Christmas for the greater good is a sacrifice you need to make. I wish you all the luck in the world mate & have the best Christmas you can while following your dreams 👍
Mate, That was heart felt and with family at the forefront. Takes a strong man to do it but an even stronger one to tell us about it. Love the videos, the cheerful chap that you are. Do what you need to do, we are all still here. We love you too man! Looking forward to the next chapter!
Your a brilliant guy mate, There is no future in England if I had my chance again I'd of fled a long time ago... Family first always, will miss the car camping in England but on to new misadventures we will enjoy the ride... Merry Christmas mate X
Chances are far and few between mate and you’re a man that’s learned to spot when they do come round. I’m in the same boat parents wise and everything I’ve got I’ve had to trust the gut and take the chance on my lonesome. Your kids and wife are amazing mate and the fact you’re all singing from the same hymn sheet is a blessing which will still have stress but it makes it less of a burden to navigate so fingers, toes and flaps crossed this trip works out for all of you’s mate. The pull the island has on you clearly isn’t loosening its grip so if not this time it will at some point. All the best mate.
Dude. I've been watching your vids for a few weeks now, and you have inspired me. I love what you do, and have decided to move into my van full time once certain issues have resolved themselves. This particular video touched me, as I have been in a very similar position, but I made the wrong call. Stay there bro. If you meet Richie and Al there tell them wurzal says yo
Thank you Adam for being so brave to make this vlog. I hope you and your family settle somewhere that is right for you all. Love them, hug them and keep them close. Though on your own I wish you a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
I'm not crying, you are! You're a lovely guy with a beautiful, loving family, and you all deserve to be happy. I sincerely hope you get what your heart desires. All the very best to you all and wishing you a very merry Christmas.
Good luck Adam and your family. Hope your dreams become a reality again. All the best for 2025. Thank you for your brilliant videos of your misaventures. Looking forward to many more in the new year.
All the very best to you and your family which we all can see you clearly love. You have their blessing which is the most important thing. I hope you get to move there and be happy in life with them. Looking forward to seeing the next chapter in your life there. Think positive mate. Thanks again for all your hard work. We all love what you do👍
Can't fault you takes alot of courage to do what you are doing and to ensure that your family are happy hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year uknow uknow 🎅🎅🎅
Brilliant Adam im so happy for you and the family... Make your best life while you can, i wish i could do the same because i would be there .. Congrats ...live your best life mate !
You get one life man,follow your dreams,wishing you the best of luck and hope it all works out for you and your family,we'll still be watching here in the dark cold rainy broken Britain
At the end of the day this is a youtube channel and you are posting your wonderful videos in all it's wonderful weird, fantastic glory, however and it is a big however...it's a channel that you are putting content on for entertainment and I have thoroughly enjoyed your content, travels, exploration and comments (and at times you have cracked me up with your comments and cooking), all that said....What you choose to do with your life and how and where you live your life and yes this may very well change the content of your channel and what videos you put out is totally, understandably yours and your family's choice. You have every right to decide what you want to choose for your kids and the best lifestyle for them and blooming heck hats off to you and your wife for doing so. As simple as it sounds You do You dear friend. Thank you for the content that you have given - your humour and travels soooo kept me going through 2020 to the present day, but things, situations, and events happen for people and change is a constant. Whatever you decide, thank you for the service, love, humour and wonderful videos you have provided. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
Do what's best for you and your family, mate. Sacrificing moments in time to make a better future is what good Dad's do. All the best for the New year and I hope everything works out for you and your family.
Spending one Christmas apart because your setting up the dream life for you and your family seems like a fine trade off mate. Just keep in mind all the next Christmases you will be celebrating in your paradise over there. Nothing but love and good wishes from the other side of the world.
Thank you dude for sharing your heart with us all. You are doing the best for you and your lovely family. Good on you been watching you for several years now and you have made a difference to me, and you are one of the most genuine real good humans on here much love brother. Thank you X
Massive respect to u my friend. Followed u since day 1. I've seen u grow. If u don't take the chance u will never forgive yourself. Do it Brother, u get one life. Much love, happy Christmas and New year. Your kids are all that's matters. Fly high my friend xxxxx
Wow, What a deep and real video. Every goal is a bunch of small challenges and you'll get there if you want it enough, plus all the possibilities for new exciting adventures! Keep it up
I did a similar thing 20 years ago sold up a moved to a small island not that far away but much safer than the mainland UK! I enjoy watching your videos and wish you and your family all the best you only get one life so we must all follow our dreams.
Adam mate you have earned the right to be there and more, and one thing about you that is so special is the love you bring for all of us. So you do everything you can to get this special place for you and your family. And I’ll be raising a drink for your Christmas Day. Ps if it works out can I have your allotment .lol see you soon mate Alan,🙏🍻💯👍
Adam, that must of been an extremely difficult video to do. At the end of the day, it’s your life, your families life. You’ve got a wonderful opportunity, you’ve gotta grab it. Full respect to you for wanting a better quality of life for your kids. You’re quite right in saying this country is broken, it is. Grab that opportunity while you can x
i have every respect for a man who just wants the very best for his family and who is willing to follow his dreams and take the chance that has been offered , they dont come along often so hard as it is to be apart fromm your loved ones keep your eye on the ball and stay strong Adam becauseyou are so close to the dream you have held for years !i am keeping you in my thoughts this xmas because you will be surrounded by the love of your family and the people you love Merry Xmas x
Adam, you are doing what's best for your family and yourself and nothing else matters. Completely agree that the UK is broken and its only going to get worse for the next government term and who knows it may not get better after that as it may be too broken by 2029. Best of luck on finding and securing a home in Thailand and have a great Christmas you and yours and here's to a happy and prosperous new year.
Bless you and your family, love ya loads. You have a wonderful chance to follow your dreams, your wife and kids want to do this as well. Grab it while you have the chance. If it doesn't work out at least you've tried and found out, rather than spend your life wondering what if. It's one Christmas out of many and you can video call your family on the day. I know it's not the same but I've moved my family around a lot, no regrets, till I found somewhere we were happy. stoke on Trent for us. Fingers crossed all goes well. Thailand looks a wonderful place and I bet your wife will be glad to get home and have you all with her.
You have to do what's right for you and the family . What's 1 Christmas when you and the family could have many more in the future in a place you all love .Nuff respect , and merry Christmas
God bless you Adam, you made me cry to see the dream you want to reach with your lovely family… I truly hope and pray it will happen for you. Christmas wishes coming your way. XX
Good for you Adam, follow your heart and np need to justify it. I hope you find what you're looking for. I wish I had the finances and skills to do similar. Merry Christmas to you all.

WOW Adam....thank you for sharing your testimony...i don't think you realise that you've not only done the right thing for yourself in order for building a new Life path that you want for your family but also... * You've given your wife and children the Best Christmas present ever...this beautiful emotive video... its also a Legacy that will live on...one of Love and Devotion from a Husband and Father who is doing everything it takes to ensure his family's life will be the best he can offer. You have a Good Pure Soul to which i know God Almighty through Jesus will grant your dream wishes. You've never given up on Hope or Faith in yourself therefore Glory will come. Amen ! ❤🙏

Best of luck mate and I really hope it all works out for you and your family. Wherever you are in the world, and whatever crazy adventures you get up to, I'll still love watching. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2025
Happy new year Adam, I've been on my own this Christmas, I'm just glad it's over. Looking forward to my future on the road this summer
Good luck Adam, ive been looking at Thailand but online like u say property prices inflated, so best way is trecking about till you find that perfect home. Look forward to hearing of your new adventures in uhe country that touches your soul. Take care x
You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do for your family & life!
Well done for being open, transparent and honest! I applaud what you are doing taking the family back to their roots and you aint wrong .. england is broken and beyond fixing .. well done and best of luck in this exciting journey 💪❤️
Follow your heart brother! 👊🏾
That's cool AF. Thai wife and the option to move to that beautiful island. Good luck to you and the family bro. Reach for the stars
You're a good guy Adam, go for it!!! Wish I could help you achieve it for you and your family but I'm like yourself, always skint, just trying to survive.... genuinely, all the luck to you all ❤
England is broken! Such prophetic words to have been genuinely spoken. The same applies for the USA and Australia and many other nations. I remember a saying, "I takes a villiage to raise a child." We have lost this. We barely know our neighbours now and we live alone... We need to get back to being a commumity. Kudos to yo and your family. I wish you all the best and my heart goes out to you.
What comes from the heart, reaches the heart. Go for it Adam, lifes too short for what ifs.
Wishing your family the best of luck. Your heart is there go for it. You only have one life. Go live it all of you. Merry Christmas and a VERY Happy New Year. We will all miss you but you can always hop on a plane for a holiday in England. Good Luck ❤
Wow, good luck to you and your family. ❤❤ Wishing you all the best❤❤
Britain is truly broken, I don't blame you for wanting a better life in a beautiful country.☀️🏝
Wishing you a Very Happy Christmas🎁🎄🎅🎉🎈🎊
Hope you find your new house soon and are reunited with your loved ones before too long.🤞🙏❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the summary. All makes sense. In life we all have be brave and shake things up sometimes. I think you're doing it for beautiful reasons. I wish your whole family success! And very happy to follow the story as it unfolds!
I'm in a similar boat mate but the Philippines not Thailand. I am stuck here in the UK because we need to make sure our pensions will sustain us in the Philippines. We will work as hard as we can to get back out there but if we go now we will surely go broke eventually. I wish you all the best and I really hope it works out for you. I fully understand how difficult this conundrum is for you. Merry Christmas mate.
I’ve had my eye on Philippines too because language barrier is half the struggle, and my other half works with Filipino’s remotely and their English is impeccable. Also I’m used to living in a third-world country as I spent the first 30 years of my life living in Africa.
Good luck to you all. You have to do what is best younand your family. It is nobody else's business but yours. So don't give a dam what they think.
@@Paulie44 yep English is their 2nd language it is taught in schools, most Filipinos speak English. There are many considerations but as you have already experienced third world economies I doubt you need me to spell them out to you, but if you have any questions I could probably answer them or point you in the right direction 👍
@@ElizabethDavis-r5s thank you, I have never let the thoughts of others bother me, what they think of me is none of my business as they say lol. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Adam to you and your family, missing one Christmas with their blessing to try and organise a lifetime together for your family is a noble mission you have taken. Unlike many TH-camrs part of the reason we follow you is that you are just a normal family man, you’ve introduced us all to your wife and children so we all know you, thanks for sharing and best of luck finding and fulfilling the dream.
Great meaningful video Adam....... as a father of 3 young kids myself I 1respect and admire you massively for doing the best thing for your family, that's ALL that matters!. Merry Christmas to you and your family bro and I can't wait to see your new chapter unfold!. Big, big love mate ❤ x
Good luck to you all Adam. Fingers crossed you get everything sorted. You’re one of the good ones mate ❤
Your right about the UK mate, I wish you all the best for you too make this happen for your family buddy 👍
A story from the heart - Great video and I hope that you manage to find a property and that you and your family have a great Christmas.
100% support your decision.
I have everything crossed for you and your family. I travelled in '87 Thailand, Malaysia and all over for months. Get how you feel big time.
Merry Christmas and good luck with your plans x
Adam just shows how good of a person you are
More power to you Adam,you know better than anyone else what’s best for you and your family and it’s no ones business but yours!!! Stay strong and there are many more Christmasses to celebrate!!! Merry Christmas to you!!❤️
You got to do what’s best for you & your family. Missing one Christmas for the greater good is a sacrifice you need to make. I wish you all the luck in the world mate & have the best Christmas you can while following your dreams 👍
Nice!! I'm SOOO very proud of you, Adam. Spot on, you're a great man! Best of luck and Merry Christmas to you and your family!!! 🙏❤
Mate, That was heart felt and with family at the forefront. Takes a strong man to do it but an even stronger one to tell us about it. Love the videos, the cheerful chap that you are. Do what you need to do, we are all still here. We love you too man! Looking forward to the next chapter!
Your a brilliant guy mate, There is no future in England if I had my chance again I'd of fled a long time ago... Family first always, will miss the car camping in England but on to new misadventures we will enjoy the ride... Merry Christmas mate X
Chances are far and few between mate and you’re a man that’s learned to spot when they do come round. I’m in the same boat parents wise and everything I’ve got I’ve had to trust the gut and take the chance on my lonesome. Your kids and wife are amazing mate and the fact you’re all singing from the same hymn sheet is a blessing which will still have stress but it makes it less of a burden to navigate so fingers, toes and flaps crossed this trip works out for all of you’s mate. The pull the island has on you clearly isn’t loosening its grip so if not this time it will at some point. All the best mate.
Dude. I've been watching your vids for a few weeks now, and you have inspired me. I love what you do, and have decided to move into my van full time once certain issues have resolved themselves. This particular video touched me, as I have been in a very similar position, but I made the wrong call. Stay there bro. If you meet Richie and Al there tell them wurzal says yo
Thank you Adam for being so brave to make this vlog. I hope you and your family settle somewhere that is right for you all. Love them, hug them and keep them close. Though on your own I wish you a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
I'm not crying, you are!
You're a lovely guy with a beautiful, loving family, and you all deserve to be happy. I sincerely hope you get what your heart desires. All the very best to you all and wishing you a very merry Christmas.

At the end of the day this is a youtube channel and you are posting your wonderful videos in all it's wonderful weird, fantastic glory, however and it is a big however...it's a channel that you are putting content on for entertainment and I have thoroughly enjoyed your content, travels, exploration and comments (and at times you have cracked me up with your comments and cooking), all that said....What you choose to do with your life and how and where you live your life and yes this may very well change the content of your channel and what videos you put out is totally, understandably yours and your family's choice. You have every right to decide what you want to choose for your kids and the best lifestyle for them and blooming heck hats off to you and your wife for doing so. As simple as it sounds You do You dear friend. Thank you for the content that you have given - your humour and travels soooo kept me going through 2020 to the present day, but things, situations, and events happen for people and change is a constant. Whatever you decide, thank you for the service, love, humour and wonderful videos you have provided. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
I hope that wherever you end up that your family are happy that's the main thing! Please tell me that your camping videos will still be around 🙏❤
Do what's best for you and your family, mate. Sacrificing moments in time to make a better future is what good Dad's do. All the best for the New year and I hope everything works out for you and your family.
Spending one Christmas apart because your setting up the dream life for you and your family seems like a fine trade off mate. Just keep in mind all the next Christmases you will be celebrating in your paradise over there.
Nothing but love and good wishes from the other side of the world.
Thank you dude for sharing your heart with us all. You are doing the best for you and your lovely family. Good on you been watching you for several years now and you have made a difference to me, and you are one of the most genuine real good humans on here much love brother. Thank you X
As a therapist Adam, you have brilliantly vocalised your real feelings without any bias. You are being real, and believe me that is a rare trait.
Massive respect to u my friend. Followed u since day 1. I've seen u grow.
If u don't take the chance u will never forgive yourself.
Do it Brother, u get one life.
Much love, happy Christmas and New year.
Your kids are all that's matters.
Fly high my friend xxxxx
Hats off to you… uk is broken i absolutely admire what your doing and love your videos…
Wow, What a deep and real video. Every goal is a bunch of small challenges and you'll get there if you want it enough, plus all the possibilities for new exciting adventures! Keep it up
I did a similar thing 20 years ago sold up a moved to a small island not that far away but much safer than the mainland UK!
I enjoy watching your videos and wish you and your family all the best you only get one life so we must all follow our dreams.
Adam mate you have earned the right to be there and more, and one thing about you that is so special is the love you bring for all of us. So you do everything you can to get this special place for you and your family. And I’ll be raising a drink for your Christmas Day. Ps if it works out can I have your allotment .lol see you soon mate Alan,🙏🍻💯👍
Adam, that must of been an extremely difficult video to do. At the end of the day, it’s your life, your families life. You’ve got a wonderful opportunity, you’ve gotta grab it. Full respect to you for wanting a better quality of life for your kids. You’re quite right in saying this country is broken, it is. Grab that opportunity while you can x
Good on you Adam, and your family, your doin what a big percentage would love to do, and never apologise for your emotions friend. Big love mman x
i have every respect for a man who just wants the very best for his family and who is willing to follow his dreams and take the chance that has been offered , they dont come along often so hard as it is to be apart fromm your loved ones keep your eye on the ball and stay strong Adam becauseyou are so close to the dream you have held for years !i am keeping you in my thoughts this xmas because you will be surrounded by the love of your family and the people you love Merry Xmas x
Respect to you buddy. Hope everything works out for you ❤
Adam, you are doing what's best for your family and yourself and nothing else matters.
Completely agree that the UK is broken and its only going to get worse for the next government term and who knows it may not get better after that as it may be too broken by 2029.
Best of luck on finding and securing a home in Thailand and have a great Christmas you and yours and here's to a happy and prosperous new year.
Bless you and your family, love ya loads. You have a wonderful chance to follow your dreams, your wife and kids want to do this as well. Grab it while you have the chance. If it doesn't work out at least you've tried and found out, rather than spend your life wondering what if. It's one Christmas out of many and you can video call your family on the day. I know it's not the same but I've moved my family around a lot, no regrets, till I found somewhere we were happy. stoke on Trent for us. Fingers crossed all goes well. Thailand looks a wonderful place and I bet your wife will be glad to get home and have you all with her.
You have to do what's right for you and the family . What's 1 Christmas when you and the family could have many more in the future in a place you all love .Nuff respect , and merry Christmas
Good for you mate. Get that dream for and your family. All the best to you and I hope everything works out for you all ❤
We love you man! You are making the right decision 🥰🎄
