    Love the flora over there. The last temple was my favorite. That house out in the rice field would be a nice getaway if someone else was bringing the supplies… nice video. Thanks for the upload.

    The change from city life was great to see, It was really a great stress reliever. I've had more than a few bad trike/jeepney rides in the PI . One of my favorite was with my Father-in-Law. We took a trike from Balibago to Hensonville, and he volunteered to pay. He gave the driver whatever the going rate was at the time, but it wasn't enough, the little creep wanted double ! The driver told him, "If you want that American to ride for that price get him his own trike". My Father-in-Law took a handful of coins and threw them at him. We stood there and laughed while he scrambled around picking up coins in the street. Thanks for the video JR. Hope you guys got back on track quickly, did you ever get any satisfaction or feed back from the company ?

      Thanks John, the company just said sorry in the message that is about all we expected. People don't often believe that their is a skin tax but there is

    I always like 3rd person shots where u set up the camera and walk by. I remember going to and from Pattaya to Utapao and though we would die everyday. They drive crazy AF there too.

    Really enjoying your Thailand travels. They are worthy of their own channel. I seeing a lot of places from my past years in Thailand, good memories, of my early 2000s doing logistics in Thailand. I was lucky, i traveled most of all of Thailand, minus south on the peninsula part.
    I have had a couple of those drivers from hell. They won’t slow down and drive normal either, after being told. Riding with them is like you will die any moment in a horrible head on crash. I don’t get it. Even my Thai Military translator would brief the driver and still he drove like a wacko.

    • @FOCUSonASIA13
      @FOCUSonASIA13  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I have had many of the speed racer drivers on TDYs to Thailand in the past. Wasn't the speed with this guy as much as the plain lack of normal driving skills. Sucked LOL
