    Enjoy your kid. Life is short and the most beautiful times in life is seeing an unconditional love grow up and be a good person. And investing time with your kid will make you proud. I did it and my 2 sons grew up to be great souls. Your kid is already a great soul and you should be proud of your teachings

    You asked what we’d like to see more of in a previous post… more of this. This film emanates peace, tranquility and the beauty of Thailand and Thai people. I loved the temple scene and the views of the rice fields. Your wisdom and commentary are spot on as you share an inspiring view of life. This film, and your channel as a whole, are the essence สบาย. Thank you 🙏

    PS - It’s so nice to see Otis gaining many wonderful farm life in the country, ie, growing and living sustainable, playing with the farm animals, eating home-grown fruits snd veggies; More so, taking an educated approach with your son. It’s just wonderful seeing you pursue this special bonding!

    Security blanket of the west comes with its negative side, stress, overworked, less time to socialise, less time with family, less time with nature. before you know it retirement comes around and life was spent working and worrying. Robotic life. Im a big fan of your lifestyle Thankyou for showing us how life should be lived.

    Ryan - Your take on life and other comments are very similar, in many ways, to my own. I left the security of a good job and safe/easy environment, for life in Phen, Udon Thani. I am now married and would never go back to the UK - the simple, uncomplicated life is the 'way to go', at least it is for me.
    I love the vlogs of you and your family's life and journey - keep it up !

    Loving your videos mate, thanks for sharing your dream, your family and philosophy. I for one very much enjoy the rural aspect of not just Thailand only, but anywhere really. You can always go into town for a blow and a jam if you want anyway. I have never mentioned it before, but I usually love your choice of music and songs you put on your videos, today was no different. Thanks again

    I love rural Thailand, I have a place near Nakhon Sawan, look forward to getting back home next year once everything opens up again. I love the peace and tranquility and you can become almost self sufficient there. We have rice, pigs, chickens, fish, a small house, some trees and vegetables. What more do you need? And last year they opened up a 7/11 in the village!!

    I remember Ryan walking through rice fields in Japan back in 1981 in fairly deep water with high rubber boots while touring Japan from Canada. All the sights and smells that bring you into the moment including a huge water snake that was motoring toward me but thankfully decided to turn and go off on its own way.

    I appreciate your honesty. I have spent some time up in Udon Thani - it was marvellous, but I knew it wasn't for me. Nor were the fleshpots of Bangkok, Pattaya or even beautiful Ao Nang down on the southern coastal peninsular. After some time toying wth moving to Thialand, I decided staying in the UK and visiting Thailand, along with other SE Asian favourites, was going to work best for me. Yours is one of the most authentic expat voices in SE Asian vlogging. You're not selling anything, you're not a monger (thank god), you're intelligent and you understand how to edit a decent video. Thank you so much.
