I tip my hat to you Tony, you worked hard (double shifts) and sacrificed (living in a box room) to get yourself into the position that you can do what you wish. Most people don’t have a plan or the balls to do what you have done, so good luck to ya!
Thank you so much for understanding my passion thank you 🙏
You are the best life smart. you alone have made this happen. You have my respect and people are here as you are doing this without the Degrees, money from relatives and without a well paid job helping you to live abroad. You are the best of the British you didn't let the hardness of the UK take away your dreams. I love watching and researching my escape I cannot cope with the western news or governments and control. Thank you Rocket Man from Suffolk.
What a fantastic comment thank you very much
Again, love how happy you are in these videos. Enjoy🎉
Yay, thank you!
Never judge a book by its cover! Just discovered your channel. Subscribed!
thank you very much
Excellent video Tony! the kind of travelling I do around Thailand. Don't worry about what viewers assume by your looks or character just do what you preferIf there is a distinction is you work very hard at what you do, bit like Sean King
Sean was my inspiration to set up the channel you
Really loved the video, thanks for posting. Been glued to your videos while working the night shift.
thank you very much
Another GREAT video ! It is wonderful to see how happy you are and exploring Hua Hin and the areas close by. After watching hundreds of hours of video from TH-camrs it feels like Hua Hin has it all :) 10 min North, South, or West you can explore and there are always great things to see !
Fantastic happy days
Just started watching/ subscribed!! Keep Them coming mate!! ☺️
Welcome aboard!
class vlog Tony enjoyed it so much so different from the other stuff out there keep them coming bud
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice bit of cheeky drone footage towards the end. Good to see your enjoying yourself out and about, and who wouldn't be happy in that little piece of paradise you found to enjoy a Chang?
Fantastic happy days
Love your videos pal ! 😉very informative and genuine live the dream 🙌
Glad you like them!
New to the channel and catching up. Fantastic drone footage 👍🏻💯. I visited Bangkok and Cha am and Hua Hin many years ago, would love to go back. Enjoy your retirement Tony, stay safe.
Awesome, thank you!🙏
My wife and I love all your videos. We watch from start to finish on all of them.
Thank you very much happy days
Really enjoyed that video. Always interesting to see the other side of Thailand. People who criticise can always choose not to watch. Keep going with the videos. Even sitting in a bar and watching the Thai world go by is interesting for us who haven't been as adventurous as you👍🙏
Glad you enjoyed it
Love watching your vlogs Tony. You are so relaxed and confident in front of the camera - something we still struggle with! Hope you can come visit us in Toba soon :)

Awesome! Thank you!
Fantastic drone footage loved your blog
Glad you enjoyed it
Great blog Tony so interesting keep going mate with your really good videos 📹
Thank you 🙏
great vid rocket
Thank you 😊
I really enjoy your channel, you are very respectful to everyone you meet and look to enjoy what you explore be it grand (beaches, views, parks) or not so much (bridge, barking dogs). Sometimes its the little things that stand out, a smile, a welcome, some fruit. I wouldnt say you are typical at all, just do it your own way, most viewers will see thst you are being true to your stlye.
Thank you very much!
My new favourite channel 🎉 almost died on that bridge mate 😂😂
Bridges lol great fun 🤩
Hey mate I'm a recent subscriber....take no notice of the bullshit negative comments. When I heard your story of how you set your retirement plan in action and all the hard graft you did to get where you are, I applaud 👏 u my friend....you are an inspiration not a white tourist chasing young skirt...best wishes to you and the boss. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you so very much fantastic comment
Very interesting to see off the beaten track ...think I should be there sooner
Happy days
Great video! Different to the usual. I need a middle class and proud t-shirt.
Yes why not lol
New sub here mate
you're living your dream and it takes some big bollocks to sell up and move into a new lifestyle and society.
I find channels like yours fascinating
God bless you and your family
keep living the dream and let the haters hate..its all they have in their lives lol
Fantastic comment thank you 🙏
My new go to Thai channel, love it. Dont worry about the haters, fantastic vlog, never seen that part or Pranburi, keeping it real !
Thank you so much 👍
Super cool count ->
Good to see your west ham tee shirt coyi
A happy hammer!!
Yes great entertainment looking forward to more videos, (Lao) next 😀I see not much healthy and safety down on the wharf very wise keeping of those rickety boards also as you said beware of the dogs keep safe.
Thank you 🙏
The weather change seems to be hitting us all in the throat! But we really need the rain! Yeah most of us live just a pretty normal life here. I’ve never been to any of the bars here and I don’t even drink. Good restaurants, night markets and music venues are where we hang out. And now that my wife is pregnant with our first kid (I’m 64 and my wife of 13 years is 33) we just hang out at home lately and enjoy our pool! What beach is that? How far south? Beautiful! That bridge is crazy! Enjoy your day!
happy days for you and your family fantastic comment
Oh that’s brilliant, when you’re 80 , your son will be 16 , that’s brilliant
Should have risked it 12 years ago. Well, at least the little fella will have enough time to spend with his "granddad'
Nice vlog tony been watching you now since you started your getting more and more confident your doing well
What was that bar called nice spot wil catch up with you when we get there in a couple months
Happy days thanks for your comment
Hi mate. I think not speaking basic Thai and using pidgin English when talking to the locals are also common traits among many foreigners living here.
Nice drone footage and music. You should do more of that😊
Thanks for your comment
1:20 nothing wrong with being a working class skinhead retired in thailand imo 🍻
Punk with no hair lol 😅
Fare play to you mate , I think your video are more entertaining than Eastenders )), you're living your dream , and good luck to you , and stay safe
Fantastic happy days
Hi Tony just started watching your videos looks like you have found your paradise in life good on you enjoy your retirement 👴🏻
Happy days
Great video. I hope to see you again in Dr Feelgoods take care Maxi
Thanks, you too!
Great vlog
Glad you enjoyed
Hy Rocket,
We are not typical,we are special. Chok dee krap
Greetings Markus
Thank friend
Your enjoying yourself 👍👍
Always!
great video Tony, THE BOSS needs to teach more thai so you can speak tot he locals more lol
I do speak a little Thai but choose not to on the channel as my pronunciation is not great 👍
Thanks Tony, your vlog makes me think, what am I doing wasting what little time I have left in the UK? My worry is that I would soon get bored. Do you have any hobbies or interests? All the best and good luck.
Never get bored in Thailand so much to explore
That bridge has been like that for yonks, Nuts ah!
Mate you are no Rod Stewart.....haha
Good fun and interesting video
Who’s rod stewart lol 😂
@@rockettravels1977 🤣🤣🤣
I think he is in Thailand having great educational adventures. That is awsome, you cannot put a price on that.
Thank you 🙏
Nice vid, interesting to see a different side of Thailand. Far from a typical westerner think you're a good representative.
thank you very much
I think you're so brave to follow your dreams like this. I wouldn't have the confidence, since I had a car crash (not my fault) I've lost what little confidence I had. Take care, super cool. 👍
push yourself my friend
That bridge I have drive over it many times its scary
Fantastic
You are an interesting character with a good idea of what you want from life. Well done working so hard for such a short time to achieve your aspiration.
You will always get bad comments but that is the price you pay for making vids.
Just remember.... when you finally get your UK state pension, as a retiree permanently abroad, it will be fixed and after only 10 years the buying power will have reduced by around 35%. (April 2011 to April 2022, 38%).
So don't spend all your savings.
Enjoy video sorry but you going across bridge was hilarious
hey man you look great stuff the haters rock on dude
the more they hate the more I love I found happiness in life and no one is going to stop me thanks for your support have a fantastic day
Rocket man i have subbed from the beginning ,please Stay the same i can easily relate to your vlogs and find your content great to watch whilst recovering from Chemo.
Love youe Tee shirt btw my man...
Fantastic comment happy days
‘What’s he doing in Thailand’ living a better life than us in England, Good weather, Lifestyles good, And much more affordable to live, Good on you 😊
Well said
Well you get a big👍up from me for calling it Hua-hin, and not Whaaa-hin like other vlogers 👍
Hua Hin so good they named it twice
I think you are in Paknampran at the end.
Yes 👍
I just started watching you recently, love your joyfulness and exiting that fcking rat race!
Fantastic happy days
Your living the dream. Just shows you that you don't need a lot of money.
Happy days
Be careful buddy. Those bridges will get you.
I do try to be careful most of the time
I want to do what you're doing, i'm gonna try and go by the time i'm 41. So 5 year plan.
Go for it
What percentage of British fishermen speak Thai?
I guess your chances of bumping into a Thai fisherman who speaks English are very slightly higher than that. 👍+1
All good stuff though. 😀
As a retired language teacher my advice is to learn more phrases than "thank you".
- Good morning
- Can I look please?
- Yes - No.
Write down the ones you want and ask a Thai lady to translate them. Then learn the phrases like a parrot 🦜👍.
If an older person wais you, wai them back. No need if it's a younger person. (Red rag that last comment 😊.)
Great drone footage at the end 🎉.
Thanks for your input I do speak a little Thai but not on my channel. I have struggled all my life with reading and writing and I get as muddled with my spoken English ,at school I was in the slow learner class however I do not consider myself stupid far from it I use this channel to build up my confidence and I do my best to learn and make myself a better person as a former language teacher iam sure you can understand that not everyone has the ability to achieve at a higher educational level
Thanks once again for your input have a fantastic day
@@rockettravels1977 Sounds like a great plan. Don't be afraid to "have a go" with your Thai. Mine's dodgy as well, but the way you're received EVERYWHERE is completely different if you try, I've found with my 4 fluent and 2 muddle-through tongues.
Already subscribed. Thanks for replying 👍🙏.
I taught adults English here in France for 17 years after retiring from the Middle East at 42 (Arabic and German at university). My wife and I met at a North East council estate comprehensive school so we know where you're coming from.
You're getting top marks now, so bugger the past 👍. Wehey ! +1 🇨🇵🇪🇺
Beautiful day here so off for an early morning walk to the beach in the nude as the resort wakes up from the night before. Marseille lost last night so there'll be some sore heads. 😎🌞
I’m like you , I’m a working class man , not very sociable and very shy , could I make it in Thailand?
Definitely lots of guys having the problem of not fitting in Western Society but getting on OK in Thailand.
Push your boundaries and you will achieve
Some one how is real Quality
That will be the air conditioning giving you a sore throat!try switch it off at night if possible?
Thanks 🙏
You can't be responsible for dafty's opinions mate. As long as you and yours are alright that's all that matters.
Absolutely 👍
I would love to retire abroad but I have kids n grand kids you never know I'm 54 now so a few years to go yet..
excuses
Go for it make a plan thanks for comment
Do you speak Thai?
Nid noi
No you are not why do people judge and tar everyone with the same brush take no notice you enjoy you deserve it
Thanks 🙏
All anyone who settles with a Thai half their age needs to consider is, would they climb on board someone twice their age. It’s just a business transaction, and if you remember this, then all will be good.
She ain’t half his age😂 he’s been with her 22 years I’m sure he said on another video so your just assuming shit
lol what ya on about lol 😂
We all get stereotyped, I’m married to my Thai wife ,live up north east Thailand ,people. Tourists don’t see the real Thailand it’s a beautiful country
Happy days
Integrate? 😅 think you mean communicate!
Whichever whatever
Do what you want fuck everyone else!!!!
Absolutely 👍
Hi Tony. Maybe when you want to relate to local people, you remove your shades. Some people don't feel good trying to communicate with people who don't show their eyes. Just a thought mate.
ok
You should learn a few words.
Even if it is just "fish", "chicken" etc..
and get used to saying hello in their language too...
I do speak a little thai but not on my channel I get more than enough grief for my level of spoken English thanks for you comment
Mate it’s your life , we’re only here once , enjoy your life , what you are doing is what most men would love to do , because England is totally fucked & far to expensive not like Thailand ❤
I have a dream
I think for the most part, Tattoos are no longer the taboo that they were from the 50's to the late 70's. They are now a status symbol that reflects wealth to some extent. And to be honest, you seem to be the sweetest vlogger out there. You are authentic, kind, genuine, and smile from beginning to end. Don't let folks get you down. There are some absolutely dreadful Thai vloggers. Peace to you and the boss. Yeah never take that bridge again. 🙂
Fantastic comment thank you as for the bridges ? lol 😜
