I agree that this site looks good. Also, I am too old; no girls on this site are old enough for me.
Christian Filipina is a legal scam, it's pedalled by vologers simply cuz the vologers get a massive back hand aka finder's fee
Christian Filipina charges a fortune and are no difference between Christian Filipina or any other websites
Christian Filipina does not do background checks, only making sure your credit card has sufficient fund's for their steep BS membership fees
$100/Month is crazy though on that site.
Likeable guy. Can't beat enthusiasm and energy...no matter what the venture. His Thai wife gaining a masters degree written in English ?! Astounding achievement 👏 🎉
I met my Thai wife online. I was very naive to the scammers but I used some common sense when searching. She was the first one I contacted on the site. We met in 2015 and have been together since. I retired in January of 2021 and moved to be with her in Sriracha, Thailand after making several visits. I am up for an interview if I am a good fit for your vlog.
Perfect mate, please send me an email to thairishtimes@gmail.com 🙏
Just make sure she doesn't have a secret Thai BF and secret children with him...
I live in Nong Bua Lam Phu. I have know Ty. I have never had any issues with him, but his reputation is quite iffy
nice to hear a positive story. my late thai wife was from khon kaen. i was resisting retiring in kk. gosh my wife was right about that too.
Interesting interview. The only what I was shocked when he said “ I want to get out from America and I went serve in War”
Living in Thailand does strange things to the foriegn mind!
There are many single nurses as there are more women than men in Thailand. He looks much younger than his age. Really nice to see one who succeeds in marriage and in business.
Really enjoyed this one Pete, especially the cheesy intro/outro/hotel lift music lol
Lift music is one of my guilty pleasures. Nothing beats the relaxing tones filling my ears for 20-30secs before i’m taken right back to reality when the doors open
@@ThairishTimes 🤣
Great interview Pete. I like Ty. When it first start I was thinking oh no this is going to be boring. Then Ty started to get into his story and life. Got interesting. Would like to see more video like this. Like seeing people who just made the big jump and moved to Thailand and found a way to thrive. Perfect timing for me, me and my wife are building a home in the Khon Kaen area and I have been wonder can I live here. Good to see some one doing it for a while. My daughter is a beautiful singe nurse. hahaha
Cheers for the feedback Thomas i’ll try find more people who have moved to Thailand
As always great interview!
Good story of Thailand!
Ty is very likeable man and his life has been sailing through neatly!! I wish him and his young family well. It’s such a lovely story to give people hope… well done Pete for finding him.
A+. Smart guy with the pie as: A Thai, that is not eating, is thinking, what could be eaten next ... ;)
I wish him luck for his future
@15 mins .. I met my gf online too😊. So far all is going well. Been here 4 months so far , I do not miss uk 🇬🇧 at all , apart from the cooler weather at times and some food dishes .. hope you both are well 🙏
Great interview with a very good guy! Inspiring story and beautiful life. As a Chiang Mai guy Khon Kaen has been on my list of places to spend some time as I have heard so many good things about it.
Good interview Pete… keep them coming….
Will do mate
Great interview, thanx !
Apparently clean, conservative, sober living pays off. At 54 yrs. of age, this man looks to be 40 yrs. at most. I am surprised an Australian or English bloke didn't bring the meat pie business to Thailand. In Michigan we have pasties that are sold on the side of the road in the upper peninsula of Michigan, so I have eaten them my whole life. Good interview that I expected to be boring.
Great video pete
This was a Very nice interview Pete, with normal and sympathetic person.I wonder of Ty speaks Thai. And sure Khon Khaen is a Very Nice City as you say! You also are right when you mentioned 2010 about his story, That was the time of the Red Shirts, but he didn’t understand your remark. 😉🙏
Khon Khan is a booming city with a mix of “old Thailand “ & modern. It’s nice because you DON’T have a lot of crazy Western tourists there. Bangkok Hospital is there also.
Need more interviews
More coming
I'm from Singapore , you have some great interviews here.
have already made plans to travel to Khon Kaen just to taste Ty's pies.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
So far a very relatable story. Went thru many of those internet packages with dialup. Where in Khon Kaen did he teach? I got married in the Sofitel/Pullman.
The even better question is WHERE in Khon Kaen did he obtain his TEFL certificate!? And, as you say... Where did he teach?
Great interview! Farang jealousy is absolutely a concern. If you've got your act together and have a legitimate life and income in Thailand, take precautions.
True but in this guy's case I think there was more to the story as to why he was disliked..
Keep it up Pete! Saw you on the luas yesterday evening!
Thanks Joseph, you should have said hello 😂
25:15 "I'm very proud of her. She actually has gone on to get her Masters degree in English....since meeting [me]. Since meeting, she had NOTHING... Sometimes, she had to repeat herself FOUR TIMES before I could understand what she was saying". This is truly amazing. Getting an MA degree in English when, only a few years before, her spoken English was almost unintelligible! In point of fact, an MA degree in English is no mean feat. Such a degree program offers courses in SYNTAX and semantics, and so much more. And then, you might need to write a thesis on some abstruse author if one is on the Literature Track of the MA program. The interviewee, himself, injected this fact into the interview, or I would not have mentioned it. But still, when I think of typical MA English degree holders, and when I consider the degree requirements, this is truly very high-level stuff for any non-native English speaker who began learning English relatively late in her academic career. I definitely would have liked to have heard more about this accomplishment at that point in the interview. I have met several Thai profs at places like CMU whose English is truly superb. But they began their English studies while young, and they were already quite fluent in English by the time they graduated from high school. Then they went on to get their MAs and PhDs in fields such as Education, the Sciences, and even English.
You do go on a bit. 💤
I would to hear more about his time In the Navy and contractor work in Afghanistan
I do have a lot of those stories
I'm an American and I didn't know the word meat pie until I left America. That is the first American I've ever heard say the word.
Thumbs up 👍 Pete
I like Ty and glad his pie business is doing well...Good interview Pete🙏
Thank you Oy 😊😊
Great interview 👌Hospitals and universities are great places to find your future partner 😀
Greetings from Chicago. Thailand bound with family in 2 weeks time!
Enjoy buddy 🙏🙏🙏
Slow start but truly a good guy with great ethics doing good for himself and his family. Inspiring story
He's from Louisiana....a place with excellent cuisine that has a lot of spicy dishes served with rice. That might go over well in Thailand.
One of my Thai friends who lives in Korat says the prettiest women live in Khon Khaen. They are all pretty so not sure how true that is. Ty is nice guy great interview. I met my wife online Pete we have 2 children.
Personally after decades I believe Korat and the area have the prettiest ladies.
You forgot to put the link in for his pies Pete?
Just facebook home pies khon kaen
Get the beers in. Food, an pies will be comforting whilst drinking.
Nothing better!
Found my wife on Cherry Blossoms.....everybody remembers that one.
I had the same feeling for Asian ladies like he did when I saw the James Bond movie "You only Live Twice" and I was 7yrs old lol. 2009 the Yellow shirts shut down the airports with sit ins. I was almost stuck there, got out right in time. And how is the wife's Irish brogue doing Pete? Is it getting stronger the longer she is in Dublin?
Much more Irish slang and “Dublinisms” 😂
Is he associated with the ladies that sell home pies in pattaya. Its quite popular. Great video thanks.
Ty’s Pies😂
I went to School in LA I enjoyed Ya'lls interview
Any tips on getting an English teaching in NE Thailand. Udon or KK or NongKhai?
I have my TESOL and BS degree.
Thx 🙏🏻
Best advice is to visit the city you want to work in and drop your resume at schools and language schools. It’ll work better than sending resumes online
And don’t forget government universities. 20 years old students are future wife material
❤
2:19 "Ew...Girls...Yuck"...:Even as a very young boy, before I really realized I liked girls...If I saw an Asian woman on TV...I would just stare...WOW!" Is he implying that he was attracted to Asian women before puberty, and before being attracted to LA women? I find this interesting because, when I was in first grade, I was deeply attracted to my first grade teacher, Miss Day. I still recall her name after over 60 years. Such an attraction was she, for me. And now, he's got me thinking of The WHO, and the song, American Woman.... "American Woman...gonna Mess Your Mind!... I say..A..., I say M...etc.)
Wow the who is a good reference since Burton comings and Randy Bachman are from Canada and obviously got tangled up in a few relationships. They still sound great today And my early recollection of Asian women was watching Nancy Kwon on the opening credits of Hawaii 5-0 wow what a knockout.
Sorry Burton Cummings
14:31 He states: It's "Nong Buo, Lampoo which...Buo means boring." It seems to me, IMHO, that it is teachers such as this, who misstate the facts, with such assurance, that are the most difficult to stomach. In Fact: Buo (บัว) means Lotus, and not "boring". Maybe it is this guy who is boring, and NOT หนองบัวลำภู, Nong Bua Lamphu. ALSO, the pronunciation of เบื่อ (boring) and บัว (lotus) is completely different. Any teacher worth his or her salt should be aware of this important difference, and the cultural sensitivity involved, and the explanation required so as NOT to conflate the two. I am sorry, but loving Thailand as much as I do, I just could not let this example of ignorance, especially that of a teacher, slip by uncommented upon. I care about students, and I care about hardworking, informed, and intelligent teachers who care about the local culture and their pupils. Just one opinion based on what i see to be the facts.
Guess you don't understand thai humour. Its a play on words because they sound similar and a joke about the rural province
@@HyperspaceHoliday You mean like....FARANG and FARANG, a White Person and a Guava fruit? ผมชอบเล่นเล่นสำนวนไทย
Khon kaen is great however, BKK or Pattaya it's definately not!
.... and Nong Khai , Udon Thani, Nakhon Phanom where the beautiful Mekong Pearls with the golden hearts come from
Pies look a bit dry...(no gravy)😊
Why they not called Ty's Pies? 😀
How was he able to get a visa to work in a coffee shop or did he just chance his arm.
'He' didn't, his wife ran it.

Smart Dad to have his kids being bilingual. Glad he has met a good wife but he needs to send the kids to the US for schooling to stay ahead for the future. Pick out the West Coast would be best for them since the South does not have well-known colleges and Universities and is segregated.
Arrogant comment
Well, I understand that you need to be monetized from your channel. But Christian Filipina? I have been a subscriber since your subcount was 2 digits, I was there when you were finding out how to do your first livestream. And I love you two. Please find a better way to monitize your channel.

Interesting. The way he says, "I was the one being taken advantage of" implies that he expected to be the one taking advantage, and he felt cheated that he was not.
If I knew I could find work and live in Thailand, I’d leave for sure
You can, it depends on what you do
@tyhanson2076
Background’s in Sales and Customer Service 🤷♂️
@chillingsworth4384 unfortunately Thailand severely limits the jobs foreigners can do. If you have a degree, and a TEFL, you can teach. Without that, you would be limited to online work, or opening a business.
@tyhanson2076 Had a feeling. Thanks for the reply brotha. Appreciate it
28m. He’s right about some of the hospital staff 😊I went recently for check up / blood 🩸 tests - boy there was some smoking hot 🥵 single nurses! One asked for a date , others asked for phone number 😮.. but I’m not single 😂
Lucky fella
0:00 "It was VERY FUN to indulge in all that Pattaya has to offer." A statement such as this, from a teacher, is troublesome solely from an English grammar perspective, and this is why I mention grammar, since teaching is this man's chosen profession. I think most of us know that the use of "very fun" in a sentence is awkward at best, and not grammatically correct, and not used by teachers of English, unless good teachers are using "vert fun" to teach their students examples of syntax that should not be used. I guess one need not be a Noam Chomsky to understand why this syntax is not standard English. I demand a higher standard for teachers who wish to teach me, or teach people I care about. English grammar matters.
Relax. This is just an informal podcast interview.
@@Joe-mz6dc And, another good one, too.
and where is this guy now?
Khon Kaen
@@ThairishTimes Hmmm... Actually: I read the question, "and where is this guy now?, as having a completely different meaning. It is possible that the meaning of the question might be rephrased thusly: "You came to Thailand, you remained in Thailand, at a fairly young age at the peak of your earning years, and due to the fact that you remained in Thailand instead of returning to your home country, you probably did not progress with your career, or your financial security, nearly as well as you could have. And, therefore,...Look where you are Now!". I had puzzled over the meaning of this question for at least five minutes before I arrived at this conclusion. And, furthermore, Pete, I DO recall that you, yourself, made exactly the same career calculations a few months before deciding to return to Dublin. Anyway, this is my humble take on it....
I thought he was going to be a dick at first but he's quite cool and honest and likeable. He can't say Pattaya though.
💃 *PromoSM*
Thais eating pies, it's a slippery slope.....flat caps and whippets before you know it😊😅😂
I found it difficult to find this guy's story interesting.
Can’t win them all I guess, i’m interviewing an international drug smuggler this weekend and I’ve just interviewed ex-England striker and previous Thailand national team manager Peter Withe
This guy was ahead of his time, as he started before Western women officially became disgusting. 😄👍
I totally hate tick tock . dont recommend it to me .
I don’t believe tik tok was mentioned
Sounds like a American Pie story to me. 😉👍
