Join me on my first six months in Thailand, I will share my life's story that many will relate to, all the while showing amazing places and delicious food. I show you what it really cost and the good and the bad.
Thanks Les watched your flight home video add 7 hours and triple the money and thats my flight, just don't have a heart attack after you get off the plane lol.
sorry Doug I thought I replied with my phone but does not show in the studio. the next video shows it starting to really come together and I am almost ready to film final review, just deciding if i will wait for staining/finishing or not. I was through your area yesterday was in Chiang Mai for Doctors appointment, actually rode my ADV 350 i just bought, that video will come out tomorrow. would have stopped in if i had your contact info
@@daveclarke5766 Good morning Dave, no problem. You can stop by for a visit next time. Coming from Phrae we are a bit further than going the direct route. Let me know the best way to contact you. Cheers,
just wash the motorcycle and the car Douglas, think i am going to live, heading to Chiang Mai next week to see doctor could stop in on the way through, maybe have lunch together
@@daveclarke5766 Dave that would be great.. Just let me know. We are actually in Chiang Mai today servicing the truck and taking Noon’s Mom for a follow-up with her knee Doctor. Let’s connect on line.
Government Hospital, more staff than a Canadian Hospital, especially night shift. They brought in a portable Xray machine that still had the new car smell. Had its drawbacks, like a shared bathroom for three wards, but we were lucky, they were camped in the halls. And its seemed like there was only the one warden (doctor) for the three wards, busy lady and she spoke English. It was 19,000, but as usual Kratai, got a 2,000 baht discount, go figure.
Late Husband was a successful Chinese Business Man, took the money he left her 12 years ago and built a statement, now i am adding on to the back balcony. It will be highlighted in several videos, thanks for the comment.
John this took place last April the last of my first six months in Thailand, one more video at airport and one in Canada then next will be the return trip
Nice country style house ! You must have maybe filmed these at a different time than when your posting them? I don't recall bad air during rainy season. Thanks & Good Luck
Yes this takes place at the end of April almost concluding my first six months in Thailand, then three months ion Canada and return with many more adventures to come. Especially the house reno which nears complete. thanks for the comment
I thought that too, (middle of nowhere) lived in Chiang Mai and liked it, but the more relaxed atmosphere and the fact that I have met a few foreigners for my English fix, it comes down to what you do with your time, right now i have no time to be bored. And air quality well really only two bad months. Chiang Mai was the worst being surrounded closely by mountains like the bottom of a bowl, we use an air purifier in house, but the good news is it so much more cheaper to live here, especially northern provinces, you can afford to fly south for the worst month, some go for all three. Lastly there is no such place of Eden, but Thailand is by far as close as it gets. Thanks for the comment
Remember Shain this took place at the end of April, there will be two more before stepping foot on Canadian Soil and one there after. While in Canada i did four, Intro, two motorcycle rides on the Harley and one on Canada Day, then the trip back, three months total in Canada and happy to be back in Thailand, not without some drama which you have to see. Thanks for the comment and the sub.
The water has receded, just the clean up. correct me if i am wrong but there was serious flooding in Chiang Rai past few days and I believe it connects to the Yom River. When in Song reach out we can meet.
We have never seen the water even close to this height in Phrae. Gingerbread House is flooded at Pratu Chai. We are high and dry at SuanGlangNa, hope your house in Song is above the flood.
@@daveclarke5766 yes from what data tells me and others. Its south of Jomtien where l usually go to but bang saray seems more suitable if one like it more quite and it takes not too long to get to pattis anyways. Look it up....lots of yt on the subject
