Hope everything is ok, been almost 14 days since last video, my wife and I watch religiously, little worried bout you...
Great content as always. I especially like that you show the various foods and household items in the stores you visit. I think that sets your channel apart from so many others that just show statistics of the cost of living in places like Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. I might be in the minority, but I like your longer videos.
A minor point, but you're surprisingly right about the reliability of the electricity there (here). I spent my first eight months in Thailand on Phuket. They regularly have pretty impressive thunder storms there in monsoon season. Never saw the power get knocked off even once. I lived 30 years on the East coast of the US with the same sort of T-storms in summer, and the power went out at least once or twice a month.
Have been watching A LOT of your videos over the last few weeks! Also Canadian, and really appreciate the CAD prices that you post for everything! Also love seeing the different accommodations etc. Used to sell electric cars, so also cool to see the latest there! P.S. Doesn't make a difference to me, personally, to know which camera/phone you're using. All of it is great!!
I have never been to Thailand, and at 66 your tours, have set me off, watched lots of them, and have decided to tour all that coast, probably by train, I love walking, and seeking out new places, have traveled all over, so many thanks for your channel,STL
First time comment. Subscribed. I SO appreciate your videos of PKK. I've been researching the area for months after being scared off of Chaing Mai due to the fire season (lived through that in Oregon). While there are a few expats in PKK, their content seems repetitive and eventually turns into a personal journal rather than informative coverage of the community. Yes, I am more interested in a house - but I have three small pets so.... there's that. I like that you expose us to more than the regulars four or five favorite bars and restaurants. Personally, I hope you decide to settle in there a while. Would love more quality content from PKK.
Thanks kindly for the sub. Actually I think the local vloggers do a pretty good job of it, much better than I could. To be fair, I've just swooped in and filmed a series vs living there making day to day vids. If I were to film day to day, likely both content and quality would suffer greatly, however, not my pocketbook. The math goes something like this: Avg vlog makes approx $100 per 10k-15k views (give/take a few bucks, also depends on seasons etc). So, filming daily and getting say 15k views per vid over 4 weeks would amount to $3000 month (+add another 50%++ more $$ for past vids also earning ongoing). That's somewhat tempting to be honest but think I'll stick with 1 per week and hopefully viewers get better quality don't mind less quantity. STL
i can watch one more hour... and more
thanks
Hi STL. I've heard you say how much you love PKK several times now. It seems to have really captured your imagination as will as renewed fond memories. I suspect you will continue to explore down the coast, but I doubt you'll find any place that lights you up as much 🙂 Do you have a poll going of where we think you'll eventually pick?
Also, as an FYI, that A/C train you ask about at around 7:15 in the video is the #40 train that you show on screen, which on the schedule passes through PKK at 15:00 and arrives Krung Thep Aphiwat at 20:30. You asked her in Thai how many hours (as opposed to what time), which is why she gave the travel time of five and 1/2 hours instead of the scheduled departure time of 3 pm. Cheers.
Thanks Mark :)
I stayed in PKK at at Sun Beach Hotel 2weeks ago!
Loved how the locals take chairs, drink and dinner and sit on the promenade in the evening 😊
How long a drive from Bangkok or Jomtien?
@@bijanbayne3259
About 2 hours from Bangkok to Jomtien. If you take the motorway but probably use the normal highway, it will take no more than 2.5 hours because the traffic will be stuck in the city. and a slightly more indirect route
But if driving from Bangkok to Hua Hin city, it takes about 2.5 hours to 3 hours depending on the depth and speed of the car you drive but the car rarely gets stuck. But if you go to Prachuap town, you have to drive for about 1 hour or from Bangkok for about 3 5- 4 hours.
@@bijanbayne3259 5 Hours from Bangkok with no Traffic.
How about the train? How long does that take?
I love that you speak some Thai with the locals, especially as I am also learning Thai and practice as often as I can when in the Kingdom. This alone sets you apart from most Thai TH-camrs. I also much prefer the old stations to the new souless ones … 🎉
One reason I have my sights on Hua Hin is your superb videos covering wonderful nearby destinations, much appreciated. Hua Hin also has a chiropractor which will save me trips to a chiro in Bangkok.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your videos!! Thank you so much for all the great content!! Cheers!
More than "endured". Appreciate what you do Sir.
My mum and sister have been living in Phuket for a couple years, and my mum now wants to live in Hua Hin for a while. So, after seeing the PKK videos I am going to head there when we look at places for her in HH.
Keen to move some of the money we've made in property in Indiana to Thailand. This area looks great. I'm 50 in three years and plan to leave the UK, if this area is as great as it seems, I'm there!
Thanks again for what you do.
For the record, I always watch to the end!!
You're not the only person that loves pratchuap! When I finally get to spend more than two weeks in Thailand I intend to retrace some of your trips around there. 😊 two years and two months and counting 😅🎉! I really enjoy your style of videos, which I have probably told you before anyway. 😊
Cheers Andrew!
Great production STL! I am thoroughly enjoying your PKK series and NEVER have I EVER wished they were shorter. I appreciate you always showing us a great variety of living arrangements and costs (they were all lovely); food choices and prices; DIY store items and prices; and, of course, ALL of the amazing views Thailand provides for free.
I just discovered your videos today. I've been binging. Thank you! Great content
I stayed at the Coco Pina last week and it was fantastic 👍
Sitting outside with a cool drink watching STL and fooling myself that it’s just like being there. I always wait with great anticipation for the latest STL post. Thailand looks better every day thanks to these great snippets of the good life.✌🏻🤙🏻👏🏻
Another great episode from PKK! Thanks. Your channel is head and shoulders above others. Great pace, great content, most enjoyable (no endurance needed!). You have me hooked on exploring PKK next visit. Just as an aside, I pay 4 times as much for broadband in Australia at literally 1/10th the speed... I really miss my AIS account from living in BKK.
I'll be visiting Thailand next month to explore and conduct due diligence in preparation for my retirement relocation next year. Sorry, but you've now convinced me to potentially increase the PKK expat population by one more. Nobody to blame but yourself! 😉
I was thinking and maybe four years when my German Shepherd probably will be gone. Then I found out that you can import dogs into Thailand. I'm 65 and living a great life in my 40 ft motor coach in the US, but I've lived here all my life and would love to get over there before I need hip surgery or something. So I decided to go over there during the month of February and these videos really help try to plan. If I like it over there I'm out of here. bring my doggy, get a place near the beach where I can walk and ride bikes and have quiet.
PKK is great and I love the shopping segments. I spent my teens in Bangkok and retail is one of my favorite things about Thailand. It's great to see what the malls are like, and get a price check to boot. You are 'engaging' with Thailand in the same way we did when we lived there as residents, unlike travel bloggers who use it as just another generic base - and that makes for great content. Thank you.
My recollection is CP had to sell Lotus to Tesco in the 90s financial crisis, and they bought it back from Tesco who wanted to exit Asia. I just hope Lotus still has half-price sales with 99B black polo shirts lol
After spending a lot of time immersed in your travels I've decided I have to come check it out for myself. February is looking like a good month.
Cheers!
Because of your videos, I am going to look into PKK in a few months, because it does look beautiful.
I am an American currently living in Jomtien Beach, but way too crowded, especially during high season. PKK looks much better.
You do a great job on your videos, on of my favorite Thai vloggers. Thank you 🙏🏼
I have a month long summer vacation planned for Thailand in 2024. Bought my flight, a 12 day stay for Chiang Mai, and a 13 day stay in PKK after seeing your videos.
I plan on taking the overnight train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, and another train from Chiang Mai to go south to PKK. Only planes I want to get on are the plane to Thailand and the plane back to the US.
Oh man, your vids always end just when I’m getting into them! Great vid
Are you any closer to deciding where you would like to move to? Another great vid, thank you😁
Butter Beer is from Harry Potter, Butterscotch flavor although in Thailand it could Leo or Chang with real butter 🙂
I saw that same guy there camping and all the fishing rods…we stayed at the Prachuap beach hotel….pretty nice and not too expensive……of course your videos are always spot on! Great video STL
My new fave channel! Your videos make me want to move there NOW
Thanx so much for your "Sun Beach" recommendation! Spot on description, squeaky clean and the manager Khun Lek was delightful! 😁
Lek and Sun Beach = gem :)
Fell in love w/PKK but THEN we spent two nights at Sam Roi Yot Beach! 😳 Ready to go home, sell everything we own & stake our claim! (Realize we were there mid-week/slow season, so further research is required!)
Thanks for what you do! 👍👍👍

Cheers! STL
Made it to the end... Thought you were like a Marvel movie with a gotta wait for it scene 😂
Nice places I should have moved 20 years ago . Darn it .
I was wondering how much would you tip a bellboy, and waiter or any other service like spa? Or it’s optional? I know some country like Japan, they don’t like it when you’re tipping them. Thanks. 😊
Love your videos. They make my day and give great info.😊👍
Great video but far too short, LOL. We will be in Hua Hin in late November and are thinking a quick trip to Prachuap is in order.
It may not considered "Quick" tho. It's 100km away from Hua Hin XD
Been watching your vids for several months....great fun. Nice wit and charm my friend! 👍👍
Another great video. Really hitting home runs here. Great job. A pleasure to watch. Love the everyday item price comparison...very interesting thank you.
Like you." God I love Prachuap" I look at that view every day and I don't think that I will ever not love it
Love your videos cheers m8.🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺👍
Hey STL, Been watching a few of your vlogs and just subscribed. The fact that you show various prices for lodging, food, beer of course and household items helps give a feel for the cost there. The length is fine when content is good. Thanks for sharing.
Love watching your videos every week. Its like a live show. Much appreciated
didn't expect to hear swensens. I could go for a galley boy right about now. great video STL!
Another great video STL, you've helped inspire my wife and I to travel and start our own channel.
Thank you STL , enjoy your travels ...
Happy Tuesday. Hope Life is Good.
Great video thanking you covered so much this is what I like to see 😊 even in the stores l love Thailand
I Love how STL puts up price tables for almost everything! :D
Amazing! Can’t wait for the next one
Hello my friend, beautiful video as always perfect shooting amazing place.🌴🇮🇹☺️👍👍👍
We just arrived back in Khao Kalok from BKK and will head down to stay at PK for the weekend...go to the markets and maybe have a game of golf at Wing 5. Love PK.
I really enjoy your videos here in Tennessee. Best wishes and admire your skills and presentation.
Love PKK as well, was a lucky guess stay for 4 nights in late 2019 when travelling by train from Chiang Mai to KL.
I chose last second to break my journey in PKK in the Prachuap Beach Hotel, and in Georgetown on Penang Island. Did a day visit to Hua Hin by train as well to attend a Fellowship meeting 😊.
Great memories!
Loving your travels as usual.
Who could then in November 2019 have known what travel and global misery laid ahead .....
Great Stuff STL...... But the shopping made me shiver...... Food, drink and beaches for me.... :-))
Hiya STL.
Those tent boxes on top of a moto are cool.
Beautiful view from the balcony. Wow, it is so cheap, especially with breakfast included.
Lovely coffee shop.
Coco Pina looks like a lovely place to stay. Again so cheap.
Love the clip about Durian. 😆🤣
Your videos are always so informative. For everything related to the destination, you are visiting.
Your videos are never boring. Shopping is not my thing either. In and out, me. 555.
I love the muppet clip. 😆
I watch from start to finish. Always. Great video. Liked. Shared. Have a wonderful week.
Been a fan & sub before my arrival, but never commented till you mentioned Sambuca - mmm...chilled with 3 beans. My absolute fave kick back sip. #cheers #loveyourchannel
Always watch to the end , we're waiting on an hour tour
Love it
Loving this series😊
Love your videos man. Fellow Canuck here. My wife and I always watch to the end of your videos. Seriously considering pkk as a retirement spot. All the best!
Great vid ! Thank you. I'll be there in 2 weeks! Best wishes from The Netherlands ❤️
Thanks for the hard work, the shopping share ! Solved some curiousness about shipping.
Love the channel. So, as you drink my beer, can you please tell me how you safeguard your valuables (passport, CC, etc.) while you're out and about - at the beach, in the water, etc. Is it as simple as using the safe in your hotel room?
Just stayed in PKK and now staying at the Dolphin Bay Resort. They are both great spots. We got as far south as Khanom. Heading back up the coast to Bangkok for our flight home to Australia. So funny so many commented on your videos in PKK. Especially at the Sun Beach guesthouse. Looking forward to your next video.
Loved the relaxed Vibes. You gave us a great variety.
Thanks man. Please keep checking wifi speeds as you go.
Love this video would like to see more of night time and rent villas
your doing a great job never new this place existed
I think I could retire here if I new more about it have
Been looking at Hua hin
This is a lot quieter which I like thanks again
Awesome vlogs mate. Top notch!
Cheers Kris! STL
I watched it all and enjoyed every minute of it, so thanks. The various prices you show (all of them) just reinforce how badly we get screwed living in the West. Regarding the Budweiser, all I've ever seen in Thailand was brewed in Vietnam, so while it's still imported it's from relatively nearby and brewed by lower wage workers than Budweiser brewed in the U.S. or similarly high wage economies. Love you videos please keep coming. aka JG in TX
29:12 Amazing as usual i suggested long videos you made it thank you
Hi STL ! Thanks for making the Video longer !!! We enjoyed very much and will watch it again 🎉
I've seen those tents on Facebook. I don't think camping by the roadside with only fans would do it for me, but to each their own
Kind of place I could retire in years to come
Another informative interesting vlog of a really nice area of LOS. The hotel rooms look more spacious than most I've stayed at. Looking back on your tracking today makes me homesick. Thanks for the complete tour of just about everything you could possibly wish to see. Bushyboy Oz.
another great video, sir! Loving this area more and more.
We enjoyed every minute of this latest video…. PKK from a different perspective; I know there are a couple other classic hotels on the main road by the sea…. Prachuap Beach Hotel, and Prachuap Grand; we’d love to learn more about them as well. Thank you!
Budweiser is not good beer but Prachuap is certainly a nice place . Any chance of you going to the football stadium and the fitness park for a look around and an update ?
awesome videos man, please keep them up. If i ever go back to thailand, would love to meet up with you.... a fellow canuck.
Awesome content Side Trip. Respectful, honest, and insightful.
I like the shopping videos. Very informative on the cost of living.
Watched until the end, enjoyed it a lot 🙂
Great video, the closest to being there, thanks for sharing
Thanks
Thank you :):)
Very informative as usual. Thank you
Great Video i always wish they were longer.
I ‘endure’ them all! Love your videos ❤
Thanks again. I am 79 and in very good health. That looks great for me. Maybe soon. But higher prices in high season?
Just discovered your channel - really enjoying your content. Krap kun Krab! :)
Where did you decide to move to? This video was excellent for us as we are planning to visit pkk on our next trip. Cheers from Van Island!
Where I live in the Washington, DC area, a DQ cone costs about $5. Anything under $1 is crazy!
great vid, thanks, moving to Hua Hin soon, this vid really helps!!!!
I love it “I stayed here five years ago and the price hasn’t changed. “ 😂
Now, it will change for sure 👍
Never remind them that it’s cheap.
Excellent video. Hope to see more soon
Made it to the end....great video!
Good Afternoon from Maryland STL we enjoy your videos. Actually you were the first vlogger we started following and your love of Thailand was contagious now my wife and I are looking to move there next summer or early fall here. One note I think you have an exhaust leak or something going on with your exhaust lol sounds like you got a muscle car lol anyway keep doing what you do it has inspired us to sell everything and move to Thailand ❤
Hello from Manitoba! I love your humoUr. Muppets clip was great. Great video, but too short. I feel the same about shopping....get me outta here! But pretty good price for that nice couch hey? Not bad anyway.
I was in Thailand for my first time in March/April 2023. How did you learn the language? It seems difficult to me. Cheers.
Mate, I am quickly falling in love with PKK watching your videos. I need to visit both PKK and Phang Nga, I can see myself living in either one and being very happy. Great content as always, love your work.
PS I watched until the end lol
Best vid. Yet. Thanks for rhe peices and eap. The maps... How much do u tip hotel guy
Great video!
