I haven't been to Thailand, but have lived in Vietnam Philippines and other Asian countries, what u said about Thailand being friendlier and More genuine than Vietnamese is what I've experienced too, Vietnamese very surface-level friendly everything is just money to them.
Agreed 100%.
Good video. Answered many questions I had. Take care of Mom and Dad they won’t be around forever. You are a good son.
Thank you, I will
@@JohnnyFD Lovely of you to give your parents the choice. I hope as a youngster you were well treated. Enjoy Taiwan
Thanks Johnny for your time & answers⭐️ Appreciate you opening up & your honesty. Relax on your holidays & enjoy! Cheers🤙
Hi Johny, I've just watched you on the video with Bald&bankrupt in the Ukraine, Kharkiv. I am a crazy fan of Kharkiv, lived there as a student for 8 years, back in 1993.... Love that city to death and the people, of course I am madly sad of what's going on at the moment. Man, I really like your prestations. I believe you are a great guy ...thanks for being so positive about Kharkiv...Will continue to watch your videos..kudos 👍👍👍
Hi from beautiful Kharkiv ☺️👋
Why dont you buy Johnny's apartment in Kharkiv? It is for sale, see below. You can help him to get some money back after a bad investment. 😀
Thanks. I miss Kharkiv as well. It was my favorite city for living. I had always planned on moving back there one day, visiting the park, walking, etc.
This was an amazingly honest and educational video. Thank You very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for the information. It was great to know before traveling. Can you make more of these?
Going to Taiwan with your parents sounds cool.
Min 10:05: 500.000 Meals in 10 Years = 136 Meals per Day = WOW. Another fact that cant be wrong.
I eat a lot, haven't you seen? 😂
@@JohnnyFD I saw u and ur little legs compared to the upper body. U tell many lies about Thailand in this Video. Example, dtac and true merged and is one company. I can easily proof you ten other examples about you lying about Thailand.
"Thailand's True and DTAC finalize long-awaited merger
Creates Thailand's biggest mobile operator in the process
March 02, 2023 By Paul Lipscombe
The long-awaited merger of Thai telco operators True Corporation and Total Access Communication (DTAC) has been completed.
In doing so the merger has created a new entity: True Corp.
Thailand
- Getty Images
The completion of the merger was confirmed by Norwegian telco Telenor Group, which is also the parent company of DTAC. Thai conglomerate Charoen Pokphand Group (CP Group) and China Mobile are both backers of True.
The $7.3 billion merger was approved by Thai regulators and will combine True's 32.2 million subscribers with DTAC's 19.6 million mobile subscriptions to form Thailand's biggest mobile operator."
P.S. Lets see your legs. ;)
@@JohnnyFD you saw my legs already, u just dont remember. Wanna know more lies u telling here about Thailand in your Videos ?
Love your openness to the Q&A. I am an ardent learner to info such as these. Love watching you on your travels to and fro. Stay safe, Via con Dios. As I always like to say, tho am not Spanish. I love languages. "It means Go with God."Which most likely you may know. The US is losing lots of nationals, by they not wanting to live here in the US anymore. So when I see so much of this and knowing that I am tired of lots of things here, too,I am in long-term thinking of what to do too.
I was in Da Nang Vietnam the same time as you and at many of the same events and places like Dragon Bridge on New Years. I ate the Lobster and my wife ate the pork skewers at the same place you saw it. We had no problems. We stayed at Sandy Beach resort, 10 minutes out of town. We relied on taxi to town and we're not thrilled because our resort had no activities.
ATM I used several and was able to withdraw 4,000,000 Vnd roughly 160 Euros. You only used ATM NEAR TOURIST AREA. I agree with your phone assessment. Vietnam in general had cheaper food, than Thailand but I prefer Thai food. Sorry we missed you at Tett, would have loved to grab a selfie.
Thats amazing that you are going to see your parents in Taiwan. Can't wait to see your travels with them. Love your content, you are my favorite youtuber!
Can't wait!
Cannot wait to see you all together 🎉
Love Thailand - Chiang Mai especially. I miss living there and the variety of amazing vegetarian food 😊 Vietnam was great, but being from South Africa I found the visa quite expensive. Totally worth it though!
Thank you for the awesome videos!
Johnny I’ve been watching you for years, you just too cool, that’s all it is to it. I really like the content. You’re definitely on my to do list of people I’d like to meet.
Awesome vid as always, thanks for answering...can't wait for Taiwan 🤟
Thanks for this good advice
I think even though there is only Grab in Da Nang, but there is nothing wrong with their services. It is also very cheap and fast to use Grab in Vietnam to get from point A to point B. 😊 Thai food to me in general taste great when I eat once a week or once a month. Otherwise, it is too sweet, too salty, oily with lots of carbohydrates. 🙂
Yes, Grab works great, but I always worry when it's the only option. It works great, until it doesn't.
Xanh SM is also available
Oh that's cool, they teal blue EV-ride-hailing service. I hope they grow and do well.
Hi Johnny!. Looking forward to seeing your parents, and the reunification video!. Thanks.
Coming soon! Me too =)
Wonderful video Jonny. We have watched you for a long time. Because you are great! I hope you find a lovely lady who sees you for the wonderful person you are. ❤️
Thanks so much!
Great video, Johnny !
Thanks for your videos Jonny
Hope I meet you in Kyiv for beer sometimes
Thank you Johnny
ironically, Bier Saigon is Thai Owned,... and all the other common brands throughout Vietnam are either Carlsberg or Heineken owned.
But, Beer is fr far far cheaper in Vietnam.
Haha wow, that's so ironic that the best beer in Vietnam is owned by ThaiBev. 😂
Hi Johnny, is there a good website or agent that you know to look for apartments in Jomtien? Thanks in advance for any info.
Sweet Bass Pro hat!
Haha thanks, I liked it too!
Thanks!
Johnny, would you consider starting a second channel? It could be a good solution to your problem of split interests in your followers - some people only followed you for Bald, some only for Ukraine, and some are most interested in your old digital nomad/entrepreneurship content. If you had one or two other channels, you could post content that caters to that specific part of your fanbase. It's also been shown to increase revenue overall on TH-cam when you have more than one channel.
Guinness seems quite expensive in many places outside of Ireland, perhaps no surprise as it has to be exported. I live in China and it's probably 60-70 yuan for a pint. Unfortunately, it normally doesn't very good either because of the lack of freshness and also because it's usually not poured properly without enough pressure so no foamy head!
I bet Guinness is more expensive in London than East Asia.
Even though London is relatively near Ireland and they have breweries that actually make Guinness only a few miles out of London.
Didn't know they brew in England! Good to know. Still hard to find good Guinness there.@@pjl8119
@@pjl8119 Guinness is not brewed in London now and you'll probably find more expensive pints in Dublin.
Thanks Johnny!
I did find you through Bald but your consistent uploads and travel info in recent times is what keeps me watching.
👏🏻👏🏻agreed.. Johnny is like my fav weekly TV show 🫶🏻
I subbed because of Bald and I watch all your videos since then. Bald's videos are good, but he doesn't upload as many as you do. I like fresh content in my TH-cam sub feed. Keep them coming.
👏🏻👏🏻I totally agree.. it’s like looking forward to watching my fav TV soap opera every week … like Dallas back in the day 😂
Enjoyed your perspective. I lived in Vietnam for a few years and the same with Thailand.
I like Thailand but I love Vietnam. I wish they brought back that 1 year American tourist visa.
I heard they are thinking about a 6 month or 1 year visa. We'll see.
Hi Johnny,❤❤
Cholon, the Chinese district of Saigon, was very popular with U.S. troops during the Vietnam war for fun and for black market trading. It was also the gambling district in Saigon (HoChiMinh city).
Today in 2024, Myanmar has the world’s best looking women, amazing.
You are great 🎉🎉
Hey Johnny hope your been well bro you should do travel vids to Brazil 🇧🇷
great Johnny
Russians can stay in Thailand and Vietnam so long, because they allow them to come to Russia as well. It is reciprocal. Why Vietnamese should allow Americans to stay long if they can't go to US and stay long as well ?
It's called Economics and wages.
Long treatise on beer in Vietnam
Both are better than indo
Get your maid there in Kiev to start your car up once every day to keep the battery warm
That doesn't help all that much, she'd need to drive it once a week at least a few miles hard.
Hey Johny
Hi Johnny,
Cholon, the Chinese district in Saigon, had the most beautiful women in the 1970s. Today in 2024 Myanmar women are the most beautiful in the world in my opinion.
37:00 Vietnamese martial arts 😂
I just googled Vietnamese martial art" and found Vovinam" 😂😂😂😂
@@JohnnyFD wow, I’m Vietnamese and I didn’t even know it existed 😅
hahaha, I doubt it was ever that popular or well known. =)
@@xdgs567z can you still speak vietnamese ? What I found with american viet a lot of you guys lost connection to your heritage , no wonder you didn't know about Vovinam and tradition martial art . I think the term for a lot of viet american gen 2-3 are banana asian
Vietnamese food is much healthier than Thai food. Pho 🍜 is one of the dishes that people can eat everyday.
American girls, yes I was just thinking you don't get along with them when the blue haired "lady" popped up on the screen. lol.
The really attractive U.S. women are less likely to fawn over him since they are also American..I think he wants to date way up and that is less possible in the U.S. if you are tight with your money.
@@ES-qt6yo Many American women are just chasing the 10% of males ( tall, wealthy etc) and seem deluded in their woke ideas.
❤
Thailand is the best place for the Marijuana consumption, beach and sex tourism tour. Vietnam is the bad destination Johnny.
Việt food still rules!
hey johnny thanks for Aura
I'm glad you like using it! aura.com/johnnyfd
Johnny, when are you going back to Ukraine?
I mentioned it in the video. Late spring/early summer.
@@JohnnyFDSorry I didn't get to watch the whole video, thanks.
Re: Go to Taiwan
Taiwan, where your parents were born, would be best. It has everything. Forget Ukraine, Vietnam and Thailand.
I'm going to Taiwan, but I can't forget Ukraine.
what are you on about, their is a path to permanent residency @@ I know people who are !!!
I've been in Thailand for 10 years and have met exactly 0 people who have ever gotten PR. Technically the program exists, but they give out less than 100 per year. It basically doesn't exists as your chances are about 1 in 3.5 million.
@@JohnnyFD You have visited Thailand for 10, not lived full time, and spent most your time with young foreigners ! so, youre saying this, cause you never met someone who has, its true.. Most expats are not interested in again it, as it's difficult A friend of mine just got his Thai Citizenship, i bet you say its impossible ! I have been in Thailand and traveled for over 30 years. Former Nak Muay ! You cant read, write or speak Thai.. By the way, i am going for mine this year !
When are you back in Ukraine Johnny?
I answered it in the video. Late spring/early summer.
Don't forget that your scooter seat was stolen 😢
Yes, that was really unfortunate, but things like that rarely happen. I've owned scooters for 10 years in Thailand and that was the first time I even heard of something like that. =(
Ha ha ha, this kind of vlog draws many viewers 😅
How are the Russians owning businesses and property in Phuket?
Illegally mostly. 😂 But the truth is, most of them know that the RUB is being propped up artificially, and they also don't want to keep their money in crypto as it's unsecure, so they try to move it into something physical like property or a cash generating business.

Alina McLeod is in Thailand right now. You gonna meet up?
ive lived in both vietnam and thailand. thailand is far safer and slightly more developed but also a little more expensive in general. one thing though is that western food in vietnam seems to cost more than it does in thailand for some reason. cleanliness is about equal, although ive gotten food poisoning in both places. one thing i didnt particularly like about thailand is that religion and the monarchy is in your face everywhere. you can't drive more than 5 minutes without seeing some monument dedicated to the king. the kingdom is run as a buddhist country so there is no separation between church (or in their case, temple) and state. the strangest thing was having to stand before watching a movie at the cinema while they played the king's anthem with his picture up on the screen. as far as food, thai food tastes better but vietnamese food for sure is healthier (not as much stuff fried in oil as you'd find in thailand).
Your beard looks uneven, seems higher and wider on the your left cheek
oops, thanks, I fixed it. =)
I wonder if johnny knows and watches "The Johnny Gan show" which is thai of origin and was broadcast on american Madtv.......it can be viewed still on youtube.
Solid toh sağlam , muhkem Johnny 🎉
hi jonny
Sell your Kharkiv apartment
To who? You want to buy it?
@@JohnnyFD I'll give you a dollar lol, you pay the transaction charges :P
I would respond and say something stupid like, "I paid less than a dollar for your mom." but i'm neither that rude or childish anymore.
@@JohnnyFD We watch your videos, we know you are that childish and rude lol
@@ajc5479and that's why we are watching 👀 😂😅
The Yeti likes the white wimmens...
Johnny, why not meet a nice Thai woman? They can be very beautiful and loyal partners if you meet the right girl from a province region outside the city.
because he only likes white girls
😂😂long story short, get you a woah-man!🥰
Not true
Stop exploiting women who are in difficult economic circumstances..
Stop sounding like a jealous feminist. @@ES-qt6yo
What visa are you on in Thailand? The best hope for Ukraine may be NATO involvement. Sorry to say that about Ukraine.
Do some bougie stuff with your parents don't be cheap they are old
Good idea, you wanna chip in? Bougie Taiwan ain't cheap!
it isnt the constant slurping and mouth full of food as much why has this guys subs been stuck at 250,000 for going on 2 years? jonny is not what he claims to be. youre not passing the smell test jonny boy. 2 years of uploads ands zero new subs? jonny on Putin /xi payroll
Putin /xi payroll ? Are you a moron? 😂
@@JohnnyFD no im from the tenderloin why no new subs in at least 2 years?
You should be in Ukraine fighting the war ..not traveling
Hi thanks! Where in Ukraine are you currently stationed to help fight?
Johnny is not good looking, not even by Asian standards. Are looks not so important outside the US? Honest question. Not trolling.
LOL, thanks Jun. 😭
Disagree, he's perfectly cute. Lots of girls like the teddy bear type.
