R.I.P. Kev. And Rob, thanks for being a genuine friend and helping to organise support and being there for Kev since learning of his illness. Look after yourself and as I have stated before "don't stop what you do best".
Thanks Rob, a tough vlog to make. I was filming him on the last day of Wilfs in your montage when he landed that fish, we had such a laugh that day, we spoke about that when I saw him in hospital in January, so happy I got to say hello and take him Ginger nuts at your suggestion. Had hoped it wouldn't be our last meeting but he was in such a bad way. Now he is out of pain. I hope that he is in The Hideaway in the sky. I'm gutted but your montage made me smile .... thanks Rob 🦊👍
Rob that was such a beautiful video you have put together that captures the spirit of what Kev was and what he loved. He was one of the first reasons for me going to Thailand and Pattaya from watching his vlogs when he started vlogging along with people like yourself. Thank you so much for supporting him in his hours of need. Kev would have loved to have been in Pattaya now making videos about the whole virus thing. Life is so short and his loss was not in vain and once more thank you for all you provided both Kev and his loving subscribers with all your updates. Take care Rob and thanks for sharing!
You were as good as a friend can be Rob. You did a lot and we all know Kev appreciated it! I will make it a point to watch re-runs of Kev and his adventures in Thailand
Just had to swallow hard with a tear in my eye watching this only met kev once but watching his RU-vid videos made you feel like you’d known him years what a canny bloke. Cheeky cheerful cockney lad . I have missed watching his videos and this news is awful Rest well kevin x
Thanks Rob. In my 65 years of life, I have learned some hard lessons. The most important one is this: Tomorrow is promised to no one. Never miss an opportunity to build a friendship or love another. I know you understand what I am saying, you lost a good friend. Thanks for your post
This is the saddest piece of news I have heard in a long time. This is a lesson for all of us make the most of each and every day. You never know what tomorrow will bring.
Wow, I was expecting a usual update on Kev when I hit the thumbnail for this video. Maybe a message from Kev or some good news but got this sad news. I did not expect this news so soon. RIP Kev. Thanks for the memories in this video, Rob.
Loved his vids. Always funny and educational - a true vlogger. "The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow - do good anyway". Thank you Kev for doing good and helping others - RIP good man.
Rest in peace Kevin. No more pain. No more hard times. “I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens.” ― Woody Allen "See, I told you I was ill." - Spike Milligan's requested inscription on his headstone.

Very sad to hear this. You, Kevin, CCC and a few others all inspired me and gave me the confidence to check out Thailand as a solo traveler in 2019. I had an amazing experience and will be going back when things get back to normal. Kevin, you are a gentleman with a good heart. Cheers
Kev seemed a great man, always loved watching his Vlogs, just wish i had the chance the meet him in person, his memories will live on with his vlogs, RIP
I am in tears, thank you Rob for giving us all the news of Kev's passing. You are a very good friend of Kevin's and I am really sorry for your loss. I will miss seeing Kev and his wonderful, positive energy. Cancer sucks!
Bless you buddy, thank you for being strong enough to share this sad news. Kev and you too Rob are such lovely guys and I want to remember Kev for what he was, such a kind and genuine gent.. Take care of yourself Rob 👍💝 I will certainly raise a glass to the old bugger, cheers Kev. He did so much good for other and people, selflessly and took some real flack because of it. He did good anyway.
Like everyone on here I’m so sad to hear the news. Kev was unique. I had the privilege to meet him and you Rob in the Hideaway on a meet night January 2019. I told him I was thinking about relocating to Thailand. He was full of great ideas and information. One of life’s true gentlemen. He’ll be sorely missed. One year later I am staying here, ironically just across the road from the Hideaway Bar. It’s a sad sight today all closed up. Kev’s RU-vid 30,000 subs. signage is still prominent all around the bar. I’ll pop round later and say a few prayers for him. RIP Kev. Rob you deserve a medal mate. Thanks for being a true friend to him. Best wishes to you all. Andy from Doncaster./Thailand.
Rob wonderful tribute you and Kev are the main reasons I moved to Thailand a couple of years ago now I'm married and have a young baby. Keep up the good work Rob he will be missed. Keep your chin up dude. Would be lovely to meet you one day I live far away from you I'm afraid I live in Udon thani but you ever up this way would like to get you a drink.
Thanks Rob, so sorry for your loss, I truly understand how you feel, a great tribute for a great man 👍 Some people have passed away but their character will keep them alive Others are alive but their character has killed them Kev will be alive with many of us forever RIP Kevin
💔 Such a great inspirational man, so much knowledge given. A true Thailand legend. Thank you so much for all you have given us. You will be missed, but your videos will be here forever more. R.I.P kev. Xxx
I know this will sound strange and I knew the end was Nie , But this has shocked me. I think most of the subscribers including me , lived precariously through Kev and through the vlogs on Pattaya that Kev produced. It was in my opinion a great body of work and I have nothing negative to say about the vlogs Kev produced. All the editing Kev conducted was to a very high standard and all the content extremely informative .Lets face it . It was an escape from the hum drum . REST IN PEACE KEV . Lets hope your in the hide away in the sky knocking back a couple of San Miguels and having a laugh .
I think you mean 'vicariously', not precariously. San Miguel beers in Thailand? Didn't think they were so common there, that's more a Philippines beer.
Thank you Rob for the little tribute video. I lost two of my closest friends to cancer...they found out 5 weeks apart and both died 5 weeks apart...I was a wreck for months and there wasn't a day went by where I didn't think about them. My condolences go out to Kev's family and everyone who was close to Kevin. RIP mate.
Kev you will be missed by many. You helped and inspired many an expat to settle in Thailand for which we thank you. The land of smiles has lost a true friend but your legacy will live on. Rest in peace my friend.
Of course I'm crying right now. But with a big smile on my face. How is that possible? I have been missing Kev on RU-vid and will miss him till I see him again. But I can't stop smiling because that's what he did. That's what I miss. That big smile and heavy accent. It's a sad day for RU-vid. But we have lots of great memories here to watch over and over. This is a great wake up call for us all. Enjoy today and the people around you. Enjoy today and what you are doing. Enjoy today wherever you are. Today is all we have. Love you Kev! See you soon!
Thank you for the news Rob may he rest in peace and condolences to his family they must be proud of his life he led be safe and take care of yourself Rob
So sorry to hear this. RIP Kev you truly were an amazing man and touched/help so many of us. Rob, keep well and strong too. Thank you for supporting Kev, the community and all those that love ya both. Peace bro ✌
RIP Kev, you total legend. Countless people such as myself went to Pattaya because of you, and Nick etc. Rest assured, when I can get to Pattaya next I will be raising a glass in your honour
Was a subscriber for years. I used to love watching his vlogs as i was planning my next trip. A lovely guy who will be sadly missed. God bless Kevin, your in a better place now mate💜
Thought this would suit Kev in Thailand..Remember me with smiles and laughter for that is how I will remember all of you but, if you can only remember me with tears , then I don’t want you to remember me at all. RIP Kev in Thailand you are in pain no more. Travel well my friend
I don't have the words to express how very sorry I am to hear this news. It's a strange feeling to give a thumbs up to this video, but the "like" is for you Rob, not the news. Take Care, My Friend, Stay Safe, Be Well, Mac from Georgia
Thanx for keeping us all updated on Kev's condition over the last 9 months or so Rob. It must have been a stress for you 😔....I've been in Pattaya almost a year to the day now. I'd gained so much information from Kev before I got here, good information too, I will always be indebted to him, even tho we never met...R.I.P Kev in thailand 🇹🇭 😢
Congratulations to you Rob for having such a friend as Kev and Happy that Kev had such a good friend as You. Thoughts and prayers to you and Kev's Family.
My father died of same thing.when he talked about his symptoms, I feared the worse....Kev was one of the best , it oozed out of him through his videos. It's a shame , because he was relatively young. Rip keV.
I have just seen the video now. Rob thank you so much for this nice video and for the continuous updates on Kev you have given us in the last months. It seems yesterday when I watched his video where he talked about his cancer. Time goes by very quickly and life with it. RIP Kev!
'Anyway', that sums kev up 🌞.He will be remembered and missed by many. RIP Kevin 🙏. Thank you for letting us know Rob, please take care of yourself, this will have taken its toll.
Sad rob , sadly never met him , but have followed him many years, went to hideaway bar end of feb and raised a glass for him, will be missed rip my friend
I followed him for a few months before I met him a few years ago. By the time I met him, I felt like I already knew him and even though he never saw me before, he welcomed me like an old friend. I'll never forget that.
He promoted Pattaya in a wonderful way Had a cheerful nature and was humble . Thank you Rob for putting this video together. Kevin would have liked it. The ending was touching . Anyway R.I.P Kevin God Bless his soul. He was loved and will be missed
I heard about this earlier via Nick at the Assienda, he will be missed across the globe R.I.P Kev a true gentleman and a friend to everyone "God bless".
RIP Kevin. I really enjoyed his meet-night videos. Thank you for the updates and this great montage/tribute to him. Wow, he will be deeply missed by so many people.
Phew, that took the wind out my sails, what a lovely man, took from us far too early..... I take my hat off to you Rob, thanks for being there for all of us, God bless....
Followed you both from the very beginning. RIP Kev. Loved your vlogs. Thoughts and prayers goes out to your family. Best wishes to you as well Rob. Seemed like you and Kev had some great fun together. Thank you for sharing that with the rest of us.
I'm a tiny photographer on Instagram less than 200 followers and Kev actually took the time to look at and like some of my photos. Even if he doesnt want me to be saddened, I'm saddened, horrific news, such a good man.
I knew Kevin from school in the 70's. he was always as you see him here, always a smile, cheerful, good laugh, top bloke. I've enjoyed watching his RU-vid videos. RIP.
What a total bummer this news is. I was fortunate enough to meet him in December 2018 at the Hideaway. What a nice, personable and approachable guy he was. He included me in his end of night video interview that I still remember! Glad I had the pleasure of meeting you, Kev - you'll always live in our hearts! 👍
Thanks Rob I first subscribed to Kevin when he had 600 subscriber's I had a beer with him at a dark side (east Pattaya ) bar back 2016 & many trips since glad I was able to spend the afternoon with you mate at your Pattaya house late 2019 cheers🍻👍🏻
So sad thanks Rob I never met kev but you felt you knew him he had a great way with people on his videos and at the hideaway I followed his vlogs for a few years like yours and we all love Thailand that's our connection, thanks for being a true friend. Best wishes. R.I.P. Kev.
Kev is still with us in our hearts our memories and our minds and we have a wonderful library of the videos of his life in Thailand... Rest in peace Kev.... God bless you Rob....
Rest in paradise Kev. we still have your videos to make us smile. one of my favourite channels, Kev you was the reason I visited Thailand. I will miss your smile x
Pattaya will never be the same again. I will miss his vlogs and big smiles it just shows Life can be a lot shorter than we expect. And rob what a true friend you’ve been from start to finish we have all seen that. Keep strong Rob. R I P Kev
Raising a glass to you Kev. Can't help but have a lump in my throat watching that but smiling ear to ear, What a time you had out there. RIP My friend.
Kev in Thailand, you will be missed by so many people. You were an active important character in Pattaya and you left us with the knowledge that you used your energy and talents to the fullest. Rob (20 seconds in Thailand could not have been a better friend - thank you Rob) - Kev RIP. You were loved by so many and not forgotten.
Hi Rob So sad to hear about Kev,met him a few years ago as saw him on RU-vid so met up with him at his meet and greet nights when I was always back to Pattaya.I think he was up to 10,000 subscribers when we met on the meet and greet night and It was a pleasure to have known him and to have met him,he always made time to chat to you and always made you feel welcome.So sad to have lost him, my heart goes out to all his family and friends.You will be missed Kev,god bless to you mate.From Clint. You
Kev is only a few months older than I. Then when Kev was struck down with the cancer it made me seriously review my lifestyle. I've given up smoking and lead a much healthier life style now. Which was just as well as 2 months ago I had to have a stint installed. Thank you Kev for helping me wake up to myself. Rob you were a good friend to Kev and your right to celebrate his life , you are a good friend.
R.I.P. Kev....we knew this was coming, but still very sad when the day comes. I hope all your hard work producing these vlogs doesn't disappear into thin air - you've helped so many people and it would be great to leave your videos online as a reminder of you.
I just hate to hear another person is gone. I knew it was coming by him just wanting to be with himself and he didn't want people to remember how he passed but HOW HE LIVED. They day he step on that plane to England he knew he never would be back and it was like tearing his heart out. Rest In Peace
We're so sorry for this loss to you and all of his family and friends. He touched so many people around the world just being himself. He had many more friends that he didn't even know about. And every one of us loved him truly. He put up the good fight. He will be missed but he left a great legacy. Keep the faith Rob. You were the best friend he could have had.
And thanks Rob for being such a great friend to Kev . Especially in his time of need. And keeping us all informed and updated of his situation over the past year. Without you, Kev would have dissapeared from RU-vid and our lives without knowing whatever happened to him. At least we get to say our goodbyes and have some closure until each one of us sees him again. Thanks Rob!
Thanks Kev. Never met you, but I felt like you were an old friend with the amount of clear, friendly content you put out there. When I watched it was like one of my mates updating me on his adventures. Rest in peace Sir.
So sorry to hear this. Thank you for keeping us posted and letting us know how he was doing. I hope you’re doing as well as you can at this point. Very difficult times right now. Again very sorry.
Well this year truly sucks doesn’t it? Many thanks for your coverage Rob, and I wish all the best to Kev’s family during this time. Kev in Thailand was one of the first channels I subscribed to when I got interested in visiting in Thailand, and whilst I don’t know Kev personally or even met the guy, it really feels like we have lost a friend today. RIP a legend in the scene.
We had a few conversations about his chauffeur times to Roydon/Essex & how much he enjoyed those times, no matter where he went he was always a London Boy & fitting he returned..
RIP Kevin, had the honor and privillege to met you in Thailand, you were unique with your warmth, friendliness and helpfulness. You will be greatly missed. RIP Kev!
RIP Kev! How you doing, Rob? I know this is hard for you. Stay strong mate, we are all here for you anytime you need us! Tons of hugs and wishes your way dude. Stay strong!
Thanks Rob at lest Kevin was truly happy in pattaya he helped lots of people with great ways to save some baht very humble man rest in peace kev in Thailand
This is the day I never wanted to see. Rob, you have been such a wonderful friend to Kevin, and I am sure all your subscribers want to thank you so very much for giving us all your heartfelt updates on his ongoing condition over the last year or so. This can't have been at all easy for you, and yet you always remained faithful to Kevin and his subscribers. We will all miss him so much. We know he loved his beautiful Pattaya, but perhaps he is in a better place now. Rest in peace, dear Kev. Love to him and to everybody.
