I want to hear that Thai girl (wife) with an Irish accent. Never heard that one before. Have you done a full-one 40-minute video with her yet? Even her background story and Thai home life would be interesting. Where, what, when, and how. How did she find Ireland? (Turn right at Greenland?) Thanks and best wishes to all.
Ages ago I was at khao san road. An old western guy came up to me and started giving me compliments. He looked as if he just got back from India. Oh you are so smart he said to me etc. then he asked for money. I was direct with him and said " are you just a beggar now? Giving out fake compliments'. Then walked off. It's my only experience of dodgy things in Thailand
I’m a long time subscriber of Chris and his content is so exciting. I’m glad he mentioned he was coming on this channel so now I have 2 favorite TH-camrs to follow 🎉
I worked in Hawaii for nearly a decade in tourism... Seeing injury and death is the norm when you've worked that long. I saw someone get a fatal injury like less than 50 ft away, but it would be a mistake to avoid all ocean activities in Hawaii simply because once in a while accidents happen, or sometimes it's not even an accident someone just has a heart attack or something.
Hi Pete. Great conversation. You both work well together. I think it would make a good regular show kinda of like Tim Newton’s - Grumpy Old Men. Do an hour or so of weekly topics. I was laughing out loud by myself a few times. 👍
Another audience-engaging rave Pete!!!! Re safety…….. Been living in Chiang Mai for over 5 years, been riding motorbikes for 50+ years, trust me, riding bikes here, sooner or later you are going to come un-glued....... I’ve been cleaned up twice here in serious bike accidents, both times just tootling along and got wiped off the road. The first time, by an unlicensed dead-drunk speeding scooter rider and the second, a falung “riding” an unregistered bike BEYOND his abilities, and, he was completely off his face on whatever he was snorting, hey man!!! BUT, a lesson I learned, the hard way, in my pre-teens on mini-bikes, NEVER RIDE WITHOUT PROTECTION, in both ""accidents"" here in CM, I hit the tarmac, rolled numerous times, got up with sore ribs, shoulders, hips and a split-second WTF just happened headspace, BUT ALL MY SKIN IN TACT, ‘cause I ALWAYS wear boots, jeans, jacket, gloves ‘n FULL FACE HELMET,.......... I shudder when I see people riding in shorts and thongs, no shirt or helmet......... deadset, you go down wearing thongs and shorts you are going to have months of PAINFUL RECOVERY, that is if you still have feet left.......... for what it’s worth readers, JUST DONT RIDE WITHOUT PROTECTION, ‘scuse the pun again, IF YOU LIKE YOUR BODY/SKIN THE WAY IT IS........... Kudo’s again Pete, your rave with Chris was like sitting in the lounge room hanging out with a best mate. Your video’s now have a real sense of maturity, informed by laid back integrity and commonsense. A pleasure to watch……………………..
I’m an experienced rider and ride well at a decent clip in the mountain twisties back home on my Z900. Never had an issue in the Kingdom on a bike, from riding all over Phuket, to the Mae Hong Son loop on a 500 and right up into the Golden Triangle. You have to be hyper vigilant as to the traffic around you, and never let your guard down. It’s just too hot to wear full gear in Thailand like I do at home, but next trip will definitely bring my riding pants. I wear runners and never thongs on a bike. Always look in your mirrors and know what’s behind you as well as what’s in front of you. But no doubt shit can happen when you least expect it … 😎
Trying to connect dots here...but maybe the massive amount of black smoke coming out of that long tailed boat @ 45:00 contributed to the air pollution issues? 😂Chris' description of caking dust on that car under the bridge was spot on!
We have a saying, it alludes to American football…..when ur girl is way better looking than we are. We will say to a buddy, “you out kicked your coverage” 😂🤣
Good morning from Thailand. If you're returning here post 2021 you'll find a country that's changing all of the time but for me the 'vibe & buzz' of energy has gone. It's a sad place too often and even the scams are old.My advice to anyone coming to Thailand is to go to Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia or even Laos instead.

Absolutely savage podcast Pete and Chris 👍💯. Pete you need to do a stretch in cork, sweeten up that dub accent 😊. I'm off to the zoo for some extra lonely women 🤣🤣🤣 Sound advice Chris. Fantastic guys 👌
Good video. A quick question - you had done an interview with an American couple from New York. In the description you had the Whatsapp number for the agent they had used for their visa. I can't find the video, could you report the contact information for the visa agent? Thanks. Alex
@@ThairishTimes They were living in Asok and rented a $3k/mo condo, total monthly expenditures of $10k to $12k. Did half their time in the US and half in Thailand. They were planning to do a motorbike tour in Thailand. They were retired, self insured in Thailand but in the US they had Medicare and supplemental insurance that covered 60 days in Thailand. The wife had been a medical biller, the husband was an accountant that had been selling cloud solutions before retirement. You were in their condo sitting on one side of the large table, they were sitting on the other side. You had known them for more than a year. They were both on non-immigrant type O visa and had used a contact from Chris (I think that's the name of the Canadian Retired Working For You guy).
One time a few hustslers approached me, like vendors, etc. And they solicited something to me and I said: "Mai Ow Kap!", suddenly they started bickering in Thai and heard they sprinkle "farang" into their conversation. I believe they thought I can speak thai fluently. From that day forward I would use the phrase which helped get rid of those pesky hustlers.....LOL!
I think everything you do in Thailand, as a visitor, should be considered "at your own risk." You just have to know that the regulations surrounding safety and liability are different - and that's okay. It isn't your home country. After being on speedboat tours, climbing around temples, walking in parks/forests, elephant sanctuaries, bar-hopping, navigating streets (even as a motorcycle rider in the West), or even just walking on the streets, or swimming in the ocean, it is clear you just have to have common sense.
Don't ever start a business in Thailand and what career can you get in Thailand ? If your in love with having careers then just stay in North America and Western Europe or Australia where career is everything in your life otherwise why come to Thailand to replicate the soul crushing life you had back home ? Eat Drink and be merry just don't over do it unless your here for 2 to 3 weeks then go ahead and over do it !!!!!
Hi Pete,, love the content of this video. But there is a lot of TH-camrs who slate off bar girls and i know u did a video with a bar girl who had many sponsors and was making 100k thb a month or more.. But did u ever think about the normal bar girl.. lets face it, only 10% of them are really into it and focused. The rest do it coz they have no choice no education and a restaurant job wont cut it to help out their family,, kids, parents, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles. U know these girls send 90% of their money back home every month..Thai culture is all about the family and especially looking after Mam and Dad or if u dont have them u look after the rest coz more than likely they are minding your children. Thai culture and western culture are a million miles apart.. Thai people dont judge their family members if u bring the money in, no questions asked. But u know all about this. Most of your viewers have never been to thailand and other youtube channels warn them of bar girls but the picture that is painted to them is so wrong, u never give the thai side. Ok there is sharks out there in the bar scene but there is never videos to explain to viewers the cultural difference as to why a girl works in a bar in thailand compared to a prostitute working in Europe or the States. Maybe u might explain to viewers..Anyway, Big up love the channel 😊
I watched that video of that his harness came half off apprently not a good harness and checks made fell in 2 metre waters died instantly his daughter watched it as happen was on you tube..... should been fined nothing happen as thais
You’re going to be in a wheelchair at 50?? I’m closer to 60 and still fit, healthy and very active. Still ride a motorbike very well in the mountains Down Under. Strange attitude you have, bro …
well i have a bone condition where i need all my joints replaced. im enjoying life and living every moment to the fullest i’d suggest if you think that’s a strange attitude… to consider your doing life wrong.. i hope when i get to 60 i dont call people bro.
Palm oil. In everything. Mercury in the fish (nobody tests any of the fish, whether from the polluted klong or not). Thai farm-raised shrimp = heavily medicated. DDT still in use on the vegetables and nobody tests it.
Street food, klong food, hell people get sick from the salads as nothing is washed, the fruit has no tastes, all insects like spiders and scorpions are killed with chemicals... we have all been called out, and here are multiple answers.. Also I used to own a food company here, there are not alot of standards that need to be compliant. The more you know :)

I always get a blood test every 6 months or so to keep a check on the blood and internal organs.

That’s an interesting idea for an interview. I’ve found it difficult to get someone to talk about the subject publicly
You've done the interview with Paul Wallis, which gave us insight into the plight of the bar girl. It was very good.

Dude, what Thai food is unhealthy? Calling you out.
Excessive use of sugar, MSG & processed seed oils in Thai food particularly Thai street food
Palm oil. In everything. Mercury in the fish (nobody tests any of the fish, whether from the polluted klong or not). Thai farm-raised shrimp = heavily medicated. DDT still in use on the vegetables and nobody tests it.
Street food, klong food, hell people get sick from the salads as nothing is washed, the fruit has no tastes, all insects like spiders and scorpions are killed with chemicals... we have all been called out, and here are multiple answers..
Also I used to own a food company here, there are not alot of standards that need to be compliant.
The more you know :)
Not much of a call out. Look into it for 20 seconds and you'll see the majority is unhealthy.
