- My friend Phil lost his life on 6 January while riding his bike, when he was struck by a car. Phil would normally ride his bike, then walk and climb up monkey mountain, unfortunately he never got to finish his routine, so today, in honor of Phil, I finished it for him. While walking, I talk about Gift and I evaluating if we should continue with TH-cam and if it’s really worth it. My friend. Later on in the day we attend Phil’s cremation.

Thank you for watching!
You Sir are a good man!
In Belgium in this case if they were officialy married for the law and I assume Phil only had a pension and his wife didn't then she will now get what we call a 'widow pension ' which is almost if not the same amount as what Phil got.
🙏
Thank you 🙏 for the info.
Hi Joe awesome tribute to Phil. Thank you for taken us along. I will support you and Gift in what ever your decision is with TH-cam . You both will truly be missed. I think you had one of the better channels on YT, I’ve been following you for quite some time now. You have given us so much information about Thailand, travel, places to stay, great stories, great friends. Nothing but love and respect for you both❤️🙏
🙏
That was a very nice tribute to Phil. I’m glad you’re able to support his wife through this emotional time. As far as your channel is concerned, if you need to slow down or stop for a while, that’s completely understandable. It’s not about the money. It’s about the time commitment that takes away from you and Gift. Take your time and decide what’s best for you. Best Wishes from Udon.
🙏
You said it Joe: “You know who you are” and so do we! Dittos to all the positive comments… Thanks for your time on the mountain yesterday. I’m the guy who stopped you and shared some of your story.. George from Georgia!
🙏
Tears in my morning coffee here in America, Joe. You and Gift make the world a better place and that is not easy to do in such a cynical world where faceless people, cowards, consider it a sport to try to destroy the light you guys bring into the world. RIP, Phil.
🙏
...thanks for taking us along on your tribute walk/climb with Phil up Monkey Mountain. Joe and Gift ... follow your heart. We both greatly respect your decisions of your future life's journeys. RIP Phil...
🙏
What an beautiful and touching tribute to Phil. One of your best I have watched. Love Gifts and your videos and your travels, thank you. The values and respect you both show is fantastic and refreshing. Thank you!!
🙏
I've known personally many deaths in my nearly 70 years. If there's any comfort in this, it's that he left doing what he loved, in the place where he wanted to be. Joe, you and Gift are exemplary good friends. It was definitely a great tribute to Phil and his wife. ❤
🙏
I can't believe that ANYONE could have negative comments about your videos! They are always positive. My condolences on the loss of your friend Joe. That was a nice way to honor him. Hope you guys are well, and don't stress about things. Cheers guys!
🙏
You are a true Gentleman Joe, honouring your promise to climb Monkey Mountain in Phil’s memory shows that you are a true friend.
Whatever you and Gift choose to do with your YT channel I will be watching and appreciating your content. 🙏🏻🇹🇭🇦🇺
🙏

I didn't know Phil but the way you honored his memory, he must have been a nice guy. May he rest in peace. I hope his wife finds the courage and strength to continue her journey without him.
🙏
Such a beautiful tribute to Phil and as always thank you for sharing, you and Gift are amazing people, take care
🙏
Joe, may your friend, Phil, rest in peace. Hats off to you, Joe...for providing such a wonderful tribute to Phil. Normally not a teary-eyed guy...but this "VID" got me. I am quite pleased to note that you and Gift are giving Phil's wife an assist...must be a very awkward situation for her not to have access to vitals such as money...so thanks for that...keeps us posted on her outcomes as this progresses...again, I salute your efforts here...good on Ya! -steve-
🙏
Thanks Joe and Gift, always appreciate your honest and genuine approach in your videos. There will always be those who want to criticise, keep strong :)
🙏
Joe - One of your BEST videos EVER!!!!! Thanks for sharing your pain and thoughts…. and with heartfelt sincerity- our condolences
🙏
Excellent video Joe. I have been watching you from close to the beginning. I really appreciate what all you talked about today. You are a true gentleman with a heart of gold. Love and prayers from snowy Iowa.
🙏
Sorry for the loss of Phil, condolences to his wife, you & Gift. A shame that someone was so careless to end his life prematurely! 😢
🙏
That was so beautiful Joe, I am sorry for your sadness in losing Phil. As someone who cries very sparingly, the end almost got me.
🙏
Words are not enough to convey my love and respect for you and Gift my brother. God bless you both. Phil was there on the mountain. 🙏
🙏
Hello Joe and Gift!!
We follow you since long time. You are good persons and we appreciate the vidéos you put on TH-cam.
Keep going and ignore the trolls.
All your vidéos seems that they were made by good heart.
We went to Thailand last may because we discover your vidéos first and after we discover Chuck and others from Thaïlande. We plan to go back soon.
Thank you for your time.
🙏
Thank you Joe for sharing your journey in honoring and remembering Phil.
🙏
Thanks Joe for sharing from your heart. Life is unpredictable so take special care of yourselves .
You guys are so real and selfless, take time for healing and videos will come only when you feel to open up. One a week , one a month it's all ok. Live spontaneously and please don't feel an obligation to us viewers. Happy just to know you and Gift are ok and caring for each other!
Love from NZ.
🙏
I just wanted to say that I enjoy your channel very much. I appreciate everything that you and Gift do. Take care and God bless!
🙏 God bless!
Beautiful tribute for your friend…. sorry for your loss. We just made that same climb and have explored the entire region, including your neck of the woods. My wife had lunch with Klaus’s wonderful wife, while I had the pleasure of meeting Klaus and another gentleman who was there visiting. We’re from the Northeast USA and have been blown away by the beauty of the region and the wonderful people we have met along the way…. may God Bless you all🙏
🙏 God bless!
Very moving post Joe. You and Gift are "real people" and I have always enjoyed your offerings because there is no pretense, just what is around you. One thing I enjoy on your journeys is the way you involve the local people in explaining their surroundings and not your interpretation of what you are told. To me that is a unique skill and I will miss it if you decide to stop vlogging. These are your golden years and I hope you both maximise every minute.
🙏
Joe, hats off to you. My respect for finishing your friends journey. 😢
No way I could have done that walk.
I'm glad you felt his spirit, this is the confirmation that he was there with you.
You're a great person and having Gift on your side for support.
You make a great couple, let your hearts guide you about your future plans.
Ignore forget the bad comments and focus on the beauty around you.
Thank you for all you're sharing for us.
Talking or no talking 😊
Life is good 👍
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
🙏

What a beautiful tribute and sign of respect.
Respect your decision if you decide to stop youtube. Your better man than I, putting yourself and family out to the world.
Your channel has been a bright light to many of us.
Thank you so very much.
Brad and Cindy.
🙏
What a wonderful way to remember and pay tribute to a friend. Thank you for sharing it with us.
🙏
First I want to say that I have been following your channel since you moved to Bangkok, so it’s been more than 4 yrs. You are correct when you say you can’t allow the trolls to take away what so many others enjoy. Be strong Joe, you and Gift make my day with each video you post.
🙏
So sorry for the tragic loss of your friend... It's events like this that remind us to appreciate and make the most of each day. 🙏🙏
🙏
Thank you Joe, you and gift are wonderful people, I have a lot of respect for you, stay strong, I hope to meet you one day.
🙏
Please continue. I follow several of your friends and other channels in Thailand, but hands you guys are my favorite!
🙏
Well done my friend !! When you felt his presence on top of the mountain…remember he said he was going to beat you…:-)….you are a good man Joe !! And this was a wonderful tribute to another good man. Thank you for sharing with us….blessings your way. ❤

Brad from Tucson
Hey Joe. Great video/tribute to Phil. You and Phil’s care for the dogs say it all as to what kind of human beings you are. I’ve stopped following a lot of channels, but am a faithful follower of yours. Do it however makes your retirement the best. Happier New Year to you and Gift.
🙏
That was very nice tribute to Phil RIP🙇🏻🙏 👼 thank you taking us along 🙏

🙏
Condolences Joe 😢 you have bought me to tears , I love your and Gifts channel , and the content , I really do hope you continue with doing what you both do so well ❤🎉
🙏
God bless you guys and weather you do or don't continue making TH-cam vid's is up to you and no body else, we'll still watch what ever you guys put out...
We've got a long 5yrs till I get my pension then we'll be coming over to start the next step in our lives living in rural Thailand.
May our Lord continue to smile on all of you and keep you in his light.
🙏 God bless!
Retirement is awesome brother. I appreciate your constant whatever you decide Godspeed. I plan on checking out the Philippines as well
🙏
Joe, you brought me to tears today. We all know what kind of man you are, loyal, kind, generous and a true friend that many of wish we had! RIP Phil and may God bless your family.......
🙏 God bless you and your family as well.
So sorry for your loss Joe! I'm equally sorry that you have to deal w/ nasty comments. There are soooooo many of us out here who never comment on these videos, but we appreciate you and Gift. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service to our country, and thank you for allowing us the opportunity to know the man behind the uniform.
Thank you for this video Joe . People need to understand your life is your life you do what you want , being out there in the media attracts all types . Thank you for doing this in memory of your friend Phil god bless ..🙏🙏 may he R.I.P ..😢😢
🙏 God bless!
I've looked at a lot of comments and have been watching your videos for a long time. They look very supportive to me. You nailed it on the envious, malicious, jerks looking for attention. Don't give them any. You and Gift are good people. I'd like you to be happy. If making the videos makes you happy I'll be happy to keep watching. You do you and stay cool.
🙏
So sorry for your loss my friend. It is never easy to lose those who have been a part of our life. I am sure Phil would want you to continue doing whatever it is that makes you happy. If that involves making your videos (which inspire so many)...than continue to do so. Sending prayers to you brother!
🙏
So touching video. So sorry your losing a good friend. You and Gift are very lovely people. This content what you two make here in youtube is very nice to watch. No need to worried about how often make videous in here, we followers can wait❤
🙏
You are a loyal friend Joe and we could feel your pain watching this video. Keep up the great work mate and we hope you do continue with your video's. Happy New Year to both you and Gift and we look forward to what you present in overseas travel. By the way just ignore the negative comments. As you said envious people that achieve nothing can only get satisfaction from knocking those that are living the dream.
🙏
Hi Im Peter from Sweden. I have been watching your content from Italy. I just wanna say wow you have a big heart. I hope you wanna continue make videos. Lots of love from me to you and your family and friends. I feel that is the most importent things to do. Take care and love them.
🙏
Your a nice guy Joe. Your TH-cam channel helped inspire me to relocate to Thailand back in 2021 and I met some nice people (mile and Nokky) from your channel as well.
You help a lot of people but it comes at a cost to you through some of the negativity. Just do what brings you the least amount of stress and feels the best.
See you around some day! 😊
Gosh Joe- please don’t stop producing your content! Just keep being who you and don’t let the trolls get to you! So sorry for your loss and you’re an honorable man to do the walk in honor of your friend, Phil😊
🙏
thx for sharing this video brother, sorry for the loss of your friend. stay strong you and Gift are amazing i hope to keep doing videos i followed you from the beginning ;)
🙏
What a wonderful tribute to your friend!🙏🙏🙏
🙏
Phil was blessed to have a friend like you. 🙏
🙏 and we were blessed to have a friend like him.
Please keep the videos coming I love everyone of them, I have been coming to Thailand now for 20 years and in October of 2023 moved here to live, now I find myself watching your videos and planning my next trip or trips to the places you 2 have been too,
🙏
Joe I would like to express my sincere sorrow following the loss of your friend. He always seemed a decent fellow and sooo focused on what he wanted to do. I can well see why you thought highly of him.
May he rest in peace. 👍👍👍
🙏
Great video! Much respect!
🙏
As a long time follower, I love the stuff from the two of you. That said as we get older and are no longer beholden to anyone (and I am 73), if we are not getting joy from something, we should change. Life is for living and we should wake each day with joy and wonder. You owe your TH-cam followers nothing really - you have already paid your dues. Remember what Nirvana once sang, “Here we are now, entertain us.” I think that applies to many of your followers, probably me included. Be good, live, love and enjoy. If and when your TH-cam channel becomes an unwelcome burden, keep smiling and move on. Peace to the both of you fine humans.
🙏
Great video honoring your friend. Take care and do what you want to do in the future. I am glad that Emme is in school and Gift is feeling better. Watching you everyday, makes us almost part of your family. I wish you the best in any decision that you make.
🙏
Continued prayers 🙏. Please do you. You deserve the best. I give you all the credit in the world. You are younger than me but I give you cudos for the climb and follow through
🙏
Great tribute to your friend Joe you are a great man with the heart on the right place 👍👍
🙏
R.I.P Phil.
Thank you for sharing this tribute to your friend Joe.
🙏
What a touching video, sorry for your lost. Joe you are a true friend. One that I would be honored to have in my corner in a moment of need. I lost my best friend last July to cancer, the pain is still with me. I miss him dearly. Keep up the good work, hope to visit you some time in Hua Hin. Kind regards, Lucky
I would miss you guys but you should follow your heart.👍
👍
Sorry to hear about your friend Phil’s passing. I like your channel , Gift and you are non judgmental and I appreciate that in your content.
🙏
You’re a good man Joe. Phil was lucky to have a friend like you. Have a great day Buddy.
Thank you 🙏 and we were lucky to have Phil as a friend.
You have to love what you're doing and you are doing just a great job.
🙏
Much love and respect to you and Gift at this difficult time, I fully understand you evaluating the situation we enjoy your channel for who you are and what you have achieved with your life, an inspiration to others. It’s only human to be affected by negativity/ insults, you do what is best for yourself and Gift, much love to you,Gift and Phil’s wife❤🙏🏿
🙏
Been following your channel for a long time, loved your house build, I done a similar climb for my friend in Thailand which was documented on karlsthailand on you tube, he was also a sergeant major of over twenty years in the British army, he was only 64, thanks for your content,
🙏
Wow.that is a beautiful sunrise.sorry for your loss.
🙏
Your heart is made of gold Joe wish there was more people like you in it
🙏
Joe you are such an honourable man. Keep up the great work 👍👍
🙏
That was a very deep insightful video and anyone would be lucky to have you as a friend, you have done a good thing in remembrance of your friend Phil I'm sure he would do the same.
Sorry for the loss of your friend. Hope that you and Gift will continue with your You Tube channel as it is not a daily routine for both of you. Anyway, what ever your decision, we will have to accept it. In the meantime keep safe and healthy.
🙏
Many blessings to Phil’s family ❤
A beautiful video Joe ! Well done!
🙏
A beautiful dedication, Joe.
🙏
Joe - You are a good guy with a big heart . God Bless you and Gift.

Good climb for Phil 😢.

Awesome tribute Joe❤️🙏

Joe... you are beyond words an awesome friend. And that feeling you had on the mountain? That was 100% LOVE! Phil was with you Brother!
