I watched till the end , great story . I’ll be in Bangkok in July for the first time , I’m from Kilkenny in Ireland , living in Australia for many years. I have a few stories on what’s it’s like to move over this side of the world and what not to expect and what’s changed and what advice I’d give to anyone who wants to look for their next move here .
Dude you find amazing shtories with amazing people. I don't know how you do it except that people that see you're interviews see the respectful way you interact and trust you and share it. Tell me if i'm wrong but yeah, you've earned peoples trust. Thanks.
I like the way he tells stories. It is like listening to an audio. There is a lot of little detail and self reflection. Enjoy it a lot. Thank you to both of you.
Great interview! I’m from Brooklyn and experienced 9/11 as well. I hope that Thai family paid it forward or at least tried to pass along a gift for Mr. Charlie taking care of them. I love his quote about being American and loving his country. I feel them same way. Enjoy your retirement Mr. Charlie ❤️
@@ThairishTimes very true! I love my country and all of the opportunities I’ve been afforded as an American. I think so many people come here talking bad about their countries because they don’t have the freedom to run a muck like they do in Thailand.
Thank you for responding. I always appreciate when youtubers respond to comments. I greatly enjoy your quality interviews, I only wish you would focus a little more on the Thai part of people`s lives (for obvious reasons, I think). As much as this gentleman`s firefighting story was fascinating to listen to, I would really love to learn more more about his business experiences in Thailand ( for example: what does it mean that it is "very difficult" to start a business in Thailand - in what sense difficult?, etc.). Also the yoga thread left me wishing for more details. Overall, great job, glad more`s coming up.
Great interview Pete. Charlie is the real deal, and yea he's in great shape for his age. I would have guessed at least eight or ten years younger than 72. I live about 30 miles NE of NYC and remember the morning of 9/11 very well, FDNY lost over 300 men that day. Like Paddy Brown they were headed up the stairs into harms way.
I was in New York during 9/11, served in the military for 4 years when I was young, and done dickram yoga for 15 years (in Brooklyn). Many things to relate to with Charlie. Great interview!
Lots of similarities between you too for sure. Thanks for watching. I’ve taken up doing yoga again after I met Charlie. Just finished a hot yoga class and feel great
Cut it out Pete....... EVERY vid you produce, those you interview, are all GEMS mate.... I’ve been having a Thairish afternoon binge watching your episodes, and each and every one of them I find enthralling, listening to others tell their stories.... Everyone you interview have really interesting life stories, and what I like is that you let them tell their story, with minimal interruptions or talking over them. All the great journo/interviewers would research their next guest, then design their questions to lead the guest to reveal more and more to a conclusion, pertinent to the guest..... all the while taking the viewer on a roller coaster of learning, emotions, knowledge, and personal reflection...... Kudos Pete, you are well on your way mate... THANK YOU again for the opportunity to ‘meet’ and spend time with such colorful characters, cheers from Chiang Mai............
Another gem of a find, Pete! Charlie not only has a great story but is a great storyteller as well. Love his insights and his take on life, he’s definitely worth a follow! Looking forward to more of these mate. They just keep getting better and better!
This is the type of episode where Pete shines most brightly. It contains an intellectual punch with its authenticity and dares to achieve content of substance and depth. Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this interview and it truly was a fascinating life’s story.
Going to get into yoga myself, won’t be stopping the drinks but I honestly don’t drink much. Terrific interview there, Charlie has a very positive outlook on all things. Will follow his channel 👍
I spent some time in Wiliamsburg a few years ago. Great memories and had a good time with the Brooklyn natives. “Hey I’m walkin’ hereeee” that’s my New Yorker impersonation 😂
CHARLIE .what a guy as an athletic 71 yr old Im now attracted to the idea of yoga from listening to you .... but also so enjoyed this interview and relate on many levels ..much respect
Your interview with Charlie has to be one of the best I have ever seen out of Thailand. I was raised not far from his home in New York City so can relate to him in many ways. I subscribed to his channel and hopefully will meet with him once I get home to Thailand and rest after nearly two years away. Thank you for this. Happy New Year.
Excellent interview Pete, Charlie comes across as very nice skin. Good thing about living in BKK is the great people you meet from across the globe. Keep up the good work hope ta meet ya for a pint sometime.
Good Onya Pete and Charlie. A really fascinating interview, kept me enthralled the whole way through, despite all the fireworks going off in my Chiang Mai village this evening 31/12/21 😳 Charlie does indeed tell a good story, and I have been a subscriber to his Channel for quite along time . . . he deserves lots more subscribers, that's for sure. Although Charlie has the _gift of the gab,_ and doesn't need any prodding to talk, your abiity to listen and not interrupt is your great gift of the _"listening interviewer"_ Thanks Mate 🙏 😊
Much respect to Charlie. A lot of good men were lost . He retiring a day before ussually happens for a reason. God must have a plan for him. Nice interview Pete enjoying your channel.
A great interview Pete and Charlie is a great interviewee. A real "stand-up kind of guy" as they say in New York. I'm heading over to his channel right now!
Great videos Peter. You ask good questions and you're a good listener. Great interviewees too. Really interesting to hear from Charlie in this video. ... I always wonder how all of TH-cam vloggers in Thailand earn a living though. I can't imagine there is too much money in TH-cam monetisation. Might be interesting to learn about that?
Great interview and what a lovely man. I wish the majority of expats in Thailand were more like him and yourself Pete. Keep up the fantastic work, cheers for the new year.
@@ThairishTimes great job on these last few vids, Pete. The hellfire pass video was much appreciated and outstanding in many ways. thanks for keeping us informed 👍
Hi Pete, best interview for me well done. This man is amazing that I'm going to follow along with yours of course lol. 72 old amazing and a great outlook on life with amazing and sad stories to tell. This man's life is my icon. Again great video Pete and a happy new year to yourself and your beautiful wife noon. 🍻🇨🇮
That blew my mind. Watch this if you have a chance. This is Captain Paddy Brown and his boys saving people from a burning building in NYC th-cam.com/video/N_WJD0KFhrM/w-d-xo.html
There is something very appealing and enjoyable listening to people that are passionate, especially about their career. Charlie is no exception. Good to hear Charlie has processed what happened on 9/11. Not an easy event to have to go through, more so when you personally know people that lost their lives. In regards to Charlie's business, he 'could' create online yoga classes, and all his previous class attendees could then log in and still take his classes and he would have a revenue stream. If he markets this and grows the audience not only would his revenue of course grow, but it then creates an opportunity to sell yoga clothing, equipment etc. Maybe Charlie hasn't got much experience of the online world, but it shouldn't be difficult to learn the knowledge needed to get it off the ground.
Thank you for this inspiring and enjoyable interview. Keep up the great work interviewing awesome people; also, I appreciate you letting the interviewee talk without being unnecessarily interrupted. I have also subscribed to Charlie’s channel.👍👏🙏
What a marvelous man. Perhaps he was spared on 9/11 to bring his spirit into the lives of the Thai family. In any event, you can see he is living well and happily. You can sure find them!
I have been going and living on and off overseas for over 20 years,, I would never buy any property, or open any business in another country. my opinion,,,,,hahaha
I know Charlie, we met through a mutual friend Bill for pizza a while back (and a surprise at the end lol). Such a cool guy with very interesting ideas and a cool channel.
Awesome interview. Remarkable life story. Great personality 👌🏻 I will definitely check Charlie's channel🙏 Btw, congratulations Pete for achieving your goal to reach 5k subscribers in 2021 👍🏻

Charlie seems like a great guy with ethics and empathy. Great interview.
spot on, glad you liked it
This man and the firemen he talks about are extrodinary humans on another level.
As an American, it’s refreshing to hear someone that speaks eloquently and with ethics. Thanks Charlie for sharing your story.
That’s it! You can just tell by listening to Charlie that he was a good leader cos he has good ethics. I’d listen to someone like him

Yeah, I often meet expats who say they hate their country. So it was a breath of fresh air to hear his positive outlook on life

This guy really impressed me. What an inspiring life and attitude. A far cry from the compulsive- obsessive character you interviewed before him.
Thanks for watching, more to come 🙏🙏
