You are awesome. The more I listen to you and your philosophy the less I feel alone in this world. I cannot relate to what I call "surface dancers" so hearing you speak directly to that and the personal draw to the deep and meaningful helps me to feel like I am not the only one that feels this way. I understand that there are many of us that are this way but most often we are not seen or understood, many shy away from vulnerability and authenticity because they might feel they will be shunned or ostricized for being different. I embrace being different and am proud to display it, like you do. Thank you for helping me to recenter my beliefs and values this morning Ryan. I will be sharing this vlog with my best bud in Canada this morning so he might see that there are more of us out there than one might think or consider. Really good job Ryan. Really good. Nailed it for me. Thanks.

Good to see the naked guru is back :) . As the cells in the body that do their stuff without our intervention, the universe is doing its stuff, but both are not outside of me or separate from me ....

I absolutely agree and can relate. I have finally escaped the matrix at 46 years old. I spent 26 years working civil construction,for a Boss ,and Company that would replace me in 1hr,if I died. Now In Thailand got my elite visa,,and looking forward to building my life,,my way. Currently living in a beach hut in Rawai while I find my way,,spend my day fishing with the sea gypsies ,for no money at all,and love every minute of it. Love your channel mate.

The cottage is for the family the bamboo hut was for you , Luckily you can live with both , life can be as hectic or as simple as you choose it to be .

Good one Ryan! Nice to hear your views and experiences. I can relate to it too. I emigrated to Australia in 2008 and before that being in England was making me feel depressed and anxious. So much so that it was affecting me physically. Making me sick. And after giving everything up over there and starting a new life elsewhere, somewhere more relaxing instantly made me feel better. You just have to be happy I think. That's the key.

I can definitely relate. The voice is telling me this is not who I am when I’m at work.

I must say you're very brave. Firstly setting up the farm coming from financially comfortable job which commands a lot of respect from your peers is a good position, so your change to the farm eas bravd because you had a lot to lose. Secondly (i think the most brave part) is living in a bamboo hut. Not because a bamboo hut is bad, but because others may ridicule you, others may think youre a weird person or something of that kind. Choosing to live a simple life and not caring what others think, the way you live life the way you decide and not living to satisfy another's perception of success is the bravest move IMO

You’re bang on with environment affecting personality. I’m at that planning stage of how to get out and still make a living. I know there is always a way that will present itself.

Good one :) most of the suffering I see in helping people stems from the incongruence between their inside self and how they live. 🙏🏽 try to know and live some of your dreams every day.

Your “rants” are the best part of live in bamboo/naked guru

Totally Agree that’s why I left my Corporate Job.I was tired of my keyboard and 12 hour shifts . The money was great but the hassle wasn’t worth it. I only worked weekends on home.

Thanks for your perspective, 36 single and ready to leave to corporate world. Still need a plan.. ❤

Thanks Ryan . That's a meaningful take in life. You explained well. I appreciate you make this video very much. Peter- Melbourne Australia

Very interesting ranting today, Ryan! Don't you think people like you (and me, I have to admit) can only be out of the system (or partly), because they have been in the system before? It all comes down to having sufficient resources to be able to leave the system. On a different point when you're talking about change, is it rural Thailand that changed you, or are you, on your humble level, changing Thailand? When I look at your environment, I see Thailand in the part of the domain that still is Damo's family property, and I see a bit of England in the way you (and Damo obviously) arranged the fenced part of it, with the cottage, the bamboo huts and the kitchen, and this beautiful and neat garden, so different to the rest of your surroundings.I have to say, I'd have done the same, wanting to be fully immersed in Thai day-to-day life, but shaping it with my European habits...

I enjoyed your talk and agree with most. Enjoy your family and enjoy your trip.

Ryan ya making me depressed with thinking about my shitty job 🙄 no to be true i totally get what you are saying mate and im stuck in that job lifestyle at this very moment.

Thanks for this. Roles are like suits we put on and over time outgrow. The trick is to be able to change before it gets so constricting you can't breathe and suddenly the seams burst and your naked and exposed. 😅

I cannot express how timely your message is and how similar our situation. Not sure if this is a coincidence or the hand of the universe but it's a bit freaky. I'm very interested to meet you in person. Would it be possible?

I stumbled on your channel and realized I am doing the same thing that you are but just getting started. I have land in Chachoengsao and just starting a house and farm 3.5 rai I still work in the US to build up money and my Thai wife lives in a Thailand condo I pay for. I can only get out to Thailand 3 x a year. Cant wait to get things going.

So true - your environment needs to align with you, really enjoyed listening

I love the way you think ryan. I think the more i hear what you have to say the more this idea resonates with me. You think and say and use the same words as i do and you give empathy before judgement. Your personality and values is definitely the main reason i love this channel and Life in Bamboo, keep it up!

As process happens bigger things get one looks back and realize are you on the track . Yes with a famliy you need differnt things Been here from way back when your lucky man 👨 have fun

Can’t walk away till your finances is secure…..so work towards liberation and the next chapter.

Working for yourself has its hells also….always focus on the present and work towards the finish line. Stay positive and go with the flow. Life is tough make it great. Stay grateful. Allowing negativity is the killer. You chose Thailand you did not just happen to be there. Count your blessings.

You have not lost it 😅. Your vlogs are real and infinitely more meaningful than those who are just showing their travels in Thailand

What an interesting discussion and I will be looking forward to the Podcast. I like it when he has people other than fighters on his show. I knew at 23 that I didn't want to follow the normal path through life so moved to Thailand and basically reprogramed myself. It can be hard to find likeminded people to talk to but I have no regrets about this life as I approach 69 next month.

I honestly think you were just speaking directly to me with this video. I'm in all those places right now. Earning $200k a year, with many, many perks, honestly adds to nothing if I'm looking at where I want to be, and where I should be. The problem is, I have a family who depend on me, a mortgage, bills and everything else that comes with a Western life. It all seems insurmountable and impossible to overcome, or find a clear path out of it all. In saying that, you are such an inspiration, at a much younger age, and a clear and precise spiritual wisdom that I know I need to align with. I just feel as though I can't. Thank you again for everything mate. God bless.

Hi Ryan, i can understand where you are coming from as in my early 20s I was in sales as a medical rep. Initially I loved the job, the car and the money and although I had more money than I had ever had in my life, breaking targets etc. there was something missing. It took a while for me to realise what it was, but then it hit me! I was getting no job satisfaction. So, from within that world I looked outside my comfort zone seeking something where I could make a difference. That was when I discovered the world of Probation. So to prepare myself for training I quit my high pressure sales job and worked as a petrol pump attendant, a van washer, on the production line at a cosmetic factory, an apple picker etc. I was married at the time and with my wife and young son we moved lock, stock and barrel to Suffolk where I trained for 2 years emerging as a qualified Probation Officer, a job which was different every day, a world of criminals of all sorts, working in prisons with some of the most dangerous people in Britain, being threatened with viloence, placed in hostage situations, so many different thiings. I loved it, having the opportunity to chnage people's lives for the better. This was my perfect lot for 36 years. The pay was not great but the satisfaction was priceless! When I retired initially, i was so bored after 3 weeks that I worked for a further few years as an assistant manager at a hostel for homeless people. And now aged 75 I am living here in Thailand for the past 10 years, and enjoying yet another change in my life. Life is full of surprises, so, "Don't worry, be happy." God Bless you all 😀❤🙏

Always interesting and informative and thought provoking , i am 70 i did the long hours working because my generation thats what we were told you had to do. I did 48 years of this being someone i was not , anxiety depression all my life . I now retired and my body is knackered broken 48 years and what for

I’m a retired therapist- and so many of my clients in England were high performing guys in their 40s who were coping by using ‘substances’ or alcohol to get by. High 6 figure salaries, big mortgages, kids in expensive private schools, and high maintenance partners 😅 so very trapped and scared as hell to throw a grenade into their life… terrified of the unpredictability of the results.

Your vulnerability and honesty make this "rant" so true. Thank you for sharing our experiences and thoughts.

You have a lovely predicament

great share, true that in today's world finding a meaning in life tends to be more difficult than good earning. The latter ends up being a boundary that one impose on himself. Chok dee krap 🙏

Spot on Ryan, thanks

Always love what you do or it will kill you. Stress kills.

I’m glad that this universe includes you and your wonderful human life. Seeing you creating your galaxy gives me hope that one day I can live a life with a little bit of bamboo too. Ryan, thank you for sharing your life with us all…whether it be a good or bad rant!

Your not mad Ryan,you’re discovering life and those who don’t get this train of thought have their eyes shut 🙌🏻

Amazing 🤩 - what a wonderful sharing ❤ Sharing is Caring 🤗🙏🤗

Started microdosing mate on your good advice

Would be so great to meet you Ryan as we are passing through Buri Ram next week. Much admiration for all you do and share!

Thanks for sharing Ryan. I agree that we are all beings of light and I think our consciousness is an incredible mystery.

Greatly appreciated your sharing how you handled unwanted corporate life, depression, unhappiness.

I would always be a nervous wreck living in an area which has snakes 🐍 😮

I get that feeling after 3-4 years in any job and then I have to move on for my own mental wellness. A change is as good as a rest.

so true i think depression is a break ,it stops you doing things that crush your sprit and it makes you change direction for the best if you listen

Very well said... My life reflection of that, good or bad

I listened and was helpful. Im71 been doing cancer treatments for years and I want to stop this corporate ride I’m on (medical) and enjoy my life Thanks again I really heard what your saying!

Just subscribed to the channel. Great content. I just arrived in Thailand about three weeks ago. Will be staying three months. Just started another chapter in my journey. Booked one way travel and will be bouncing around Southeast Asia for a 6-8 months, maybe more who knows. Recently left the third country I've lived and worked in. Nowhere to call home anymore. I suppose I'm searching for something on this trip. Hope to find it. Cheers for the talk.

Ryan. Thanks. I can understand and identify with many of your thoughts, especially with regard to what's real,and what isn't...

Great video Ryan I always like what you have to say. Everyone minds are different 2 thumbs up my friend!!!! For me I want to start vloging but I just dont know if I could do it.

Great! Here in Eastern Africa, it is all about family! I really like your channel. I think you are a great guy! I probably had a rather rougher life than you, up to now at least? Good luck moving on! Keep it up, kid!

Lying Down is a huge Chinese phenominum and causing them major problems. On depression, I quit my job in Manchester and though it took a lot of time eventually I ended up doing something that did not last. Then I went on a 4 week contract, now I have a slightly longer one (3 weeks to 6 months, do not know how long it will last), but I am much "happier"

Your story reminded me of a reading from the Bible where Jesus asked the fisherman to throw down their nets and follow him, everything they knew was of no importance to them any longer, so they followed Him and went on many wonderful adventures and became his 12 Apostles. And they became fisher of men. And we’re taught many wonderful lessons and opened their eyes to new possibilities and opportunities that they wouldn’t otherwise find. If they hadn’t taken the chance to experience and explore new things. It’s a big world out their so don’t pigeon hole your self and wear blinders open your eyes and take a chance.

I love you prospective on life ! I also am married to a Thai woman and have been for almost 11 years, I retired from the corporate life but my wife still works. I pray in the next few years we can go back to NongBuaLampoo and build a home on the farm.

Very intersting to watch and listen to you Thoughts ❤

Screening the bottom of the bamboo huts as skirting will keep snakes from proliferating.

I love these discussions. Your "rants" reiterate what I already believe and help me refocus on what's important, as sometimes fear and habit can pull me away and I can get lost in the monotony of the daily rat race. Thank you Ryan 🙏

So happy to come across your channel once again. Not sure why it took me so long forci use to watch you build on the Farm. I watch you build the cottage and thought how wonderful and simple life can be. Watching this video made me realize that I got to enjoy each and every day we have been given. So proud of you how you approach life, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I enjoyed it and more than that learn from it.

I've been watching you since you were building that hut, Ryan I remember asking if you were related to Tyson Fury back then, I've had a name change since then, but I really enjoyed the naked guru videos, and it's great you're back with them. Ps that lions mane... I think you're onto something there. Even Dr. John Campbell is talking about it. I'd be very interested to get hold of some as I'm in Thailand coming thursday for 17 days. 👍

Perfectly said 😊

Another interesting vlog and no truer words spoken. You not crazy you've done the thing best for you and your family. You're the best Thailand vlogger... It helps me. I left many jobs in the UK, just got stale in them. I even struggled seeing plants like tins of baked beans with weekly selling targets. Just left Wat Pah Nanachat and another magical forest temple Wat Pah Boom Lom on the River Mun. Being in the forest staying in a cutie was a privilege to be back with nature. Back in Udon looking forward to getting back on the farm. Under financial strains but happy.

Deep I love it, before we could speak feelings and emotions was our communication which I think we will return to as evolution continues for the better 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🙏🏼💙

Life is a journey and as we go down the road of life we experience different things. These experience’s are shaping our mind. At one time your mind gets shaped more squared but then you have a different experience and that sands off the edges, sometimes make it all round shape. It looks to me that you saw something that made the dream job (and my guess is that at some point and time you loved each of your jobs with all your heart) into a burden. Now you have changed life again and with your family growing your love towards that family grew as well. At the same time your feeling of responsibility has shown to grow as well. So you are fine to go for some of the things like TV, air on etc for your family to feel good and save. Nothing wrong there. As you are evaluating what you do and why you should be able to notice should the changes bring you to any limit that you don’t want to surpass. Your life - your choice - your responsibility!!

❤️👍🏻I know exactly were you are coming from. You were so lucky to have had the courage to do it. Also recognise when you are depressed. My first time I had had about a year & suddenly woke one morning & a voice said "You need help". I take CBD oil without THC because its not allowed here. It is much better than synthetic medication, which I have tried previously. ❤️ed this vlog & sharing yr experience. ❤️💞💋

Keep saying "what the hell you want" all interesting stuff that resonates with many of us hense I live in Thailand 😊❤

i like your family with the kids we are in Spain like to have a finca like your

Ryan did you realise all of this before or after you broke free from the ‘system’ ?im really fascinated by your knowledge & when it evolved in you ? Also are you able to have these deep philosophical conversations in English or Thai with Damo & friends ? My husband has become severely depressed from not working & believing hes failing because of it. I see it as an opportinity to live !

Now you really are a land-lord. Thought about you when I heard about the heavy rain in Bangkok

your channel really good i 100% agree with you

Good stuff.

Your just looking for happy ! I moved here 10 years ago and never looked back

Dude, really love your transparency! Think we’d get along pretty well, we have similar levels of squishy. 😂

You, amongst others, have made me realise that I am not the only one with these “alternative” thoughts and ideas. Thank you for that. We are the ants walking in the opposite direction, heads high, eyes open, OUR beliefs and the fire inside OUR hearts guiding the way. We are the Neo’s of the Matrix my friend 😎 Looking forward to Phuket ❤

It depends on the type of character you are, I like the city life. Whenever I’ve been in the countryside I’m bored rigid. Literally cannot wait to get back to a busy metropolis.

Rainy Season has Started

Are any poisonous snakes by your house and is there things you teach Tis to keep him safe! From those things like snakes and berries or something not to eat?

Hey Ryan, been there done that and got the mental scares to prove it. I did all of mine as tge owner of businesses and working 20 hours a day for pennies on the dollar. Some of it was back bracketing work too. I paid good money for people to do it and still couldn't find people to do the work.

There's a lot to be said for keeping life simple and living a simple life. But as life progresses and the family expands then it's not always possible to maintain that simple life to the same extent. When I first arrived in Australia as an immigrant i spent the first 12mth back packing around the country living out of my tent living a nomadic lifestyle. It was the best time of my life. Simple, no ties. Now 30 odd years later, I have a house , bills and lots of accumulated....well junk really and life isn't so simple anymore. But that's just how life manifests itself. Often I feel like selling up every I own and hitting the road with just my back pack and tent ....But I guess the reality is we become too comfortable in our life's and as we get older become scared of giving up everything we have worked all our life's for. Having said that though I still keep the idea on the back burner should circumstance change.

This was a good riff

love your insights on life...was wondering if you know Paul Stamets..? Joe Rogan had him on a podcast a few years ago.. he is is super clever about mushrooms... God bless 😊

Love the rant 😊 Much of what you talk of, ive been going through myself the last few years. (leaving the matrix) Although it seems daft after getting my wifes uk citizenship, but we plan to leave next year for issan. Luckily enough we both feel its best for us and are son (same age as otis). And i, same age as you. Thank you for the inspirational vlogs, living in issan. Takes me back to 2010 when i spent a few months living in issan in a wooden shack 😂 with giant centipedes in the shower, and cobras lying in the fire wood pile. Eating papaya salad everyday for months, until i was told its made with fermented fish. Enjoy the journey, ill join you next year ✌️ Si

If you'd like a holiday in the South near Satun Ryan, let me know, I'll keep you right good fella.

I am doing a build myself with my Thai wife, we only have the land now. How much did the bamboo hut cost and the house cost.

Mushrooms used in cooking are grown and produced in the same fashion as the kind found in supplements. The difference between the two is mushrooms that are used in supplements are thought to have more health benefits.

You are absolutly righi Ryan ,a fake world 🥳

wow, i dont often comment but have watched nearly if not all of your vloggs, please don't be offended by my comments because i agree with what you say its just that you dress it up in big words perhaps trying to rationalise or justify your situation, live your life how you want, and thankyou for sharing it, i am jealous of your situation to be honest, and someone once said people in L A have shrinks to talk to, poor people have friends, you are blessed with thousands of youtube friends, and hopefully a few very real friends who most people do not have, bearing yourself on hear is admirable, but and here it is , man you don't half talk a lot of ****, (55 55) do what makes you happy, money is tool to help you achieve that, money is not happiness,

We need to get away from the view that change is always good, basically just for the sake of change. Thailand is in a unique position to learn from the mistakes of the West and China. People need to accept that there is an inexorable connection with the land and on another level they need to build up their capital in order to prevent themselves from being pushed off the land. Land is at the core of our existence and probably because of that aspect, there are many people/corporations who see it as a commodity. So my advice to anyone in Thailand would be to get some land and then go from there in building up their security so they don't find themselves in a position where they have to give up that land.

Why visa do you have mate I’m thinking of moving to Thailand but I’m 3 hrs off the retirement visa I’ve been Thailand many times I need to get out the rat race badly

Randomly had this video idea today and am interested to get your thoughts on it. I think foreigners are very amazed and interested in the processes of buying elephants/owning elephants/breeding elephants in Thailand. I'm not sure if there would be anyone near your village who would be willing to share, but I think it would be very interesting. I know when I was in Nong Khai, that the only elephants I would see were at the one temple with a market along with it.

thanks again

Buy some tents and open a small camp site. I spoke to a bloke about 15 yrs ago in Thailand he charged back then about £1200 per head to stay and work on his monkey sanctuary food and boad I didnt see what the rooms are like but I thought it was crazy he was getting people from around the world to come and stay and then he got paying labour. Like the paying petting zoo. 😊

Very interesting insight into lots of aspects of life, everybody I’ve ever met in life has always thought that I must be an alien, just me being me which is just because I think differently, It was Williams Shakespeare who once said the world is a stage and we are mere but players, best book I’ve ever read = Ulysses = James Joyce = you might like , song = I’ve Gotta Be Me = Sammy Davi’s Jr.

How many acres do you have?

You sound a bit like Tyson Fury :)

I’ve had 33 Jobs , I love your style! - Thought the video was a Terence McKenna tribute? 🙏🍄 🙏 Psalm 82 😉 6/7 I get what your saying Bro 😎 it’s all Maya. As for the DNA 🧬 who modified it! 👽 … I like what you said about the role, but you and I both know, there is only one person in the room.

Poor peasant lives are simple. They grow rice to get enough crops to feed their family for a year and to sell to support their family. After their harvest, they would go to find fish to preserve (fermented fish) for the next growing season. Then there are a couple months that they really don't have anything to do. Some would go out to work growing beans etc... while some just stay home. Then the rainy season comes again when they start all over again. Those poor peasants never have much money like some others. But they have simple life and happy. This is the greatest life to live on earth? Yes, but that is not what I want to live my life. I love the challenge to make our future. Innovation is the key. LIfe goes on from one generation to another. Poor peasants lives don't have that.

Don’t allow you son to use Tik Tok. A young man decided to accept a Tik Tok Challenge and suffered burns over 76% of his body.

Been think quit my job at IBM and move to Thailand a few times… could retire there now very easily. Or continue the western rat race for next 25 years.

❤❤❤
