Loved the first story! I’m a sucker for stories of kindess and grace. Mongering? Not so much (unless the story ends with a crash and burn, of course). Thank you for the story, maestro!
I suffered a bout of mild food poisoning a few trips ago and the girl I was with took very good care of me. She drew me a bubble bath and then went out and made sure to buy me some soup and some solid food as well. It was really kind of her and I won’t ever forget that.
That sounds like a true friend indeed! It's heartwarming to hear about someone going above and beyond to take care of you, especially during a less-than-pleasant experience like food poisoning. It's gestures like these that remind us of the kindness and compassion that exist in the world. It's wonderful that you have someone like her in your life to support you during tough times.
Peter, maybe you’ve already done a video on this but I’d like to hear your story. I’ve put some stuff together over the past year listening to you but maybe you could do a short video from the beginning. Your first time, what brought you to Thailand, when did you first hear about it. Some of your stories situations you found strange and how things have changed over the years. What do you do to fill the day, what did you do in the beginning that you no longer do. Friends or family reactions. Have you lost any of them relations due to your lifestyle. If you could go back 20 years ago would you change things or what was the biggest financial blunder/learning curve.
2nd story: I laughed out loud when he said his ex-wife was the worst travel companion ever! I've been putting off a story but, I guess I'll send it in. Cheers.
Morning Pete. Just listened to these 5 stories (before my morning porridge). All were interesting. I also never go to restaurants in any country that are empty, that said I have had food poisoning a couple of times over many years travelling. Thanks for posting. Cheers 🍻
Another collection of remarkable viewers' stories! And I just want to say thanks for your diligence over a long time in regularly making these videos, much appreciated.

If you ever have any stories or topics you'd like to see covered, feel free to let me know. Thanks again for being a part of the community!
Hi Peter, as we all know, Thailander's / Working girls simply do not understand the old saying, (A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush) and will go home empty handed most of the time! (If only they could simply understand basic arithmetic!)
"Don't LOOK a gift horse in the mouth.". If someone gives you a horse, you should not look at it's teeth to determine it's age (and therefore value). Don't worry about the value of a gift. I am at a loss as to what could be gained by KICKING any horse in the mouth, gifted or not.
You're welcome! Thailand is a beautiful country with so much to offer travelers-from stunning beaches and vibrant cities to rich cultural experiences and delicious cuisine. Whether you're exploring the bustling streets of Bangkok, relaxing on the pristine islands of Phuket or Koh Samui, or immersing yourself in the history of Chiang Mai, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
Kind of surprised the hotel didn’t have quality control, but it’s always good to go with busy restaurants but also have to remember when visiting other countries their body can handle things farang can’t.
Before getting involved with anything beyond boom boom in Thailand, ask yourself this: Am I ok with going back to the workforce and starting over again financially??? You have a 90% chance of getting fleeced!!!
Love the moving background it means I dont need to worry about your shirt, hair glare from your glasses etc😉. Good bunch of stories . Like the one about the guy closing the hotel door after the girl went out . That was a good move. Carnt help but wonder where her bluff would have gone if he had gone down to the front desk
Great stories Peter.still love listening to them and now with the video behind you with soi 8 and terminal 21 in the background makes it loads better.👍🏼tip top stuff peter
Last story: Yes fish alive in those tanks only. Hint: You should always take a 1lt bottle of Brandy with you when you travel overseas. Take a nip or two before going out to eating at a restaurant you don't know much about. Also vinegar (preferred) or lemon juice (or lime juice) on your food should help combat food poisoning as all have that acid in them.
SOLUTION FOR LOST BANK PASS BOOK - my friend lost his passbook for 2 banks and one of bank told him to bring them a Police report for lost property - he lodged the loss of passbook notification with the police as he thought he lost in taxi - they issued the report - he took to both banks and they gave new passbooks - all the money was there and he continued as usual - Hope that helps TIM, PERTH AUSTRALIA
Hi Chuck I was due to travel to Isaan area in March for 2 months but due to a health issue I cannot travel now Hopefully be well enough to travel at the end of the year Your posts make me feel good as I can see Isaan without leaving the UK 😅 great content keep it going
food poisoning story - the thai girl was very kind...but the hotel served him the oldest (n which turned out to be the foulest) shrimp in storage...land of smiles. Peter, love your channel n stories
You do not need the bank pass book. All you need is to prove that you are the owner of the account. If you still have your old passport that you opened the account with will make it easier. Your old passport is linked to the bank account. If you get a new passport the bank requires you to update your account to reflect your new passport. People lose pass books all the time ! Not a big deal ! Go on holiday and collect your money from the bank and a short time.... 😂
While it's true that losing a bank passbook isn't the end of the world, it's still important to take precautions to safeguard your financial information. Keeping track of important documents like your passbook helps ensure smooth transactions and easy access to your funds. And while you can certainly provide alternate forms of identification to prove ownership of your account, having your passbook handy can streamline the process. So while it's not a disaster, it's still worth being diligent about keeping track of your financial documents.
As soon as she’s asking your for money after you leave. Block! It’s ok to spoil when together and you can afford it , but Fs guys never give a women money when you’re 10k miles away. Hit & quit. Its Thailand 🤣
Hi Pete and great stories again thank you. Actually over the weekend and including your stories I felt a trend of stories where many people have experienced food poisoning in Thailand whether they live there or just holidaying, my family also experienced this which does take a few days away from your holiday. Weirdly enough the guides of only going to well established and popular/busy restaurants does not provide surety either as many of the cases were from the better up market locations. They all had a common theme though and was consistent with our experience... while eating if a bite of something within your meal tasted a bit funny then don't shrug it off and swallow but spit it out and rinse. Example is: we shared many meals but only one person became violently ill and later said... one of the prawns tasted weird. Maybe you would like to bring up this point. It would not work all the time but probably adds just another layer of protection to some extent?
Your observation about the trend of food poisoning incidents is quite concerning, especially when even well-established restaurants are not immune to such issues. Your suggestion to be cautious and listen to our instincts when something tastes off in a meal is a valuable one. Trusting our senses can indeed add another layer of protection against potential foodborne illnesses. It's better to err on the side of caution and spit out questionable food rather than risking getting sick. Thank you for sharing your experience and insight. It's important for travelers to be aware of these risks and take precautions to safeguard their health while enjoying the culinary delights of Thailand or any other destination.
Good day , Peter. I'm not sure about your other regular viewers, as they may see things differently and may not agree with me. But as for myself, I much prefer your videos on the old format where you have a waterfall or the beach, or some other idylic setting in the background while reading out your stories. (I really enjoy your stories and it doesn't bother me so much if some of them may be repeated on other RU-vid channels as well). The walking format is done well by channels such as Buzzin Pattya and Everything Pattya (Yes I watch those channels too, so people, you can judge me and I don't care). So that's all I want to say. I really like your videos, but I like the old format better, with a tranquil waterfall or idylic beac scene in the background. As always, thank you for your videos. Thank you for your honesty and showing your real face and not some damn AI voice. When I hear those AI voices I shut the video down!
I put out a Poll on RU-vid to see which format people preferred 50% came back they didn't care 48% said they preferred the new format because it made them feel like they're there and 2% agreed with you so unfortunately the majority has it. The other two channels you mentioned don't tell stories as I do. One of them seems to have more hair cuts than I have hot dinners to get his stories but other than that they're pretty different.
Reg retrieving your money from the Bangkok bank....YOu can definitely get your money back. But you do need to go to the same branch where your account was opened and show them the same documents you used to open that account. But to just travel to BKK for this alone, is NOT worth it...but if you are going there on holiday or business, then its definitely something you can do,
Love your stories and pacing, Peter. I have started an Asia experience related channel as well. Your style of doing things is an inspiration to me. Take a look if you find the time! Cheers!
When assessing or condemning others, you should always examine things from both perspectives‼️☝️‼️Yes, even an “Asian Woman” has visions, expectations or wishes that are not always fulfilled by “Western Men”⁉️
Hello Mr Peter, I enjoy the stories and find them relaxing and interesting. But Ive noticed that you’ve changed your background format… I used to like the gorgeous pictures or sea videos that you previously had. The new “street walking” vid while you talk I find a bit distracting (although I do see why others would enjoy). Just a friendly comment on the background…. Cheers Mate and keep up the good work. Ill send you a story someday as I have hundreds! Heehee
Hi, do you want the onions man thanks for your feedback I actually put out a poll when I first changed the format to see which people preferred 50% came back as they don't care either way 48% said they like the new format and 2% so they didn't like it so I'm going to stick with the majority I hope you can live with it and thanks for the feedback
for the guy without his bank passbook, go to the bank with ID that the bank has on file (old passport used to open the account and your current passport). if the bank allows, ask them to re-issue a new passbook. you might have to pay a fee. if that doesn't work, tell the bank you want to deposit additional funds into the account but need a new passbook. deposit some money and go back to the bank some time later and close your account and withdraw your balance. I've had no problems in Korea and Singapore when I lost my passbook (years ago before banks stopped issuing passbooks)
Sometimes they take the seafood out of the tank and take it out back and put it in another tank. You think you’re getting the one in the tank but they replace it with an old one. When you leave they take it from the tank out back and put it back in the main store tank
Oh my god, story 3: step 1 meet girl step 2 we bf and gf now, stop working in a bar step 3 ok but send me money step 4 i need more money and im also jealous btw step 5 whole thing falls apart
But then they can switch it in the kitchen. They cook you an unfrozen one and charge you for the fresh one. That's how you can get food poisoning from a so-called fresh lobster.
I hate when y'all blame someone being poor for their behavior they behavior is who they are not because they poor cuz they have poor people don't get over on people
So, I’m guessing you live in a country where the government has a welfare system and if you’re unemployed or you don’t have food, you will get paid from the government because it. In Thailand that doesn’t happen. If you don’t work, you don’t make money and you starve
It's a thought-provoking question, isn't it? Stepping into the shoes of someone living in poverty can offer profound insights and empathy for their daily struggles. Perhaps if more people experienced firsthand the challenges faced by those less fortunate, there would be greater compassion and understanding in the world. It's a reminder to approach issues with empathy and a willingness to learn from others' experiences.
Is something wrong with your mind you saying all poor people scam people they can't be trusted that's what basically what you saying cuz in America people with welfare they still scam people here with money and without money
even got rich people scam people in Thailand so what you talking about is your character it's who you are you have no morals so you saying all poor people don't have morals something wrong with your brain
There could be various reasons why some individuals choose to pay for sex. It could range from seeking companionship to fulfilling specific desires or fantasies. However, it's essential to remember that engaging in paid sexual activities raises ethical, legal, and health considerations.

When I changed the format of my videos, I put out a poll and I asked people if they preferred the old format of me sitting in front of a nice beach or a waterfall or walking about with A B roll so people can look at what’s going on in the background. 50% came back as they don’t care. 48% said they like the new format and 2% said they didn’t. Unfortunately, I have to go with a majority
Oh, of course, because clearly anyone who suggests that young men might also be involved in such activities must be completely clueless. It's not like young people have desires or impulses, right? And obviously, Thailand is a magical land where only the elderly engage in such activities. Thank you for enlightening us with your profound wisdom on the subject!
