Hey Ritchie, "Screw the education travel the world" 🤔🤣🤣 Ritchie I love your honesty your just like most of us that watch RU-vid ordinary down to earth people I watch your channel because you are funny and down to earth,always making me laugh. Best to you and Maybell 👍🙏🙏
Ritchie I love all you post here , but don't let the posting pressure you your business is where its at I think you and maybelle are such lovely people I haven't Been to Thailand since 2012 but next year I'm coming over because of you guys , thank you for all you post , your the best .lee In 🇬🇧 😊
youtube in your case may not always make vast amounts of money but has you say it does promote your business and it works because this is how i found you and watching your video's made me seek you out whilst on my first ever trip to Thailand. Staying in patong i made the journey around three times during my stay and found maybelles coffee garden and the food and hospitality just as shown in the videos,no false pretend. This december 2023 i will be in patong for my second visit to Thailand and again i will make the effort to visit maybelle's coffee garden, just to chill,sample some food and take in the vibes is certainly worth the trip. If you have not been there yet, it is a great place to visit. So Yep you both have something worth sharing and your hard work shows through with all the visiting people that make the trip. All the very best to you both and your slice of paradise (maybelle's coffee garden). See you in december.👍🙏🙏👍
🧡you guys! Been with you from when you arrived in Thailand with your ponytail Richie. Don't care what your video is about I will always watch! Can't wait to come visit Maybelles again next April.
Hi Richie hope you guys are doing well 👍🏻 Your spot on keep promoting your business at Maybelle’s Coffee Garden. Always great to see you keep the videos coming. I can highly recommend it guys great place. See you guys soon
Richie, I found you in December 2020 when I caught Covid. Back then you and your channel provided me with an escape from my home during my 10 days of isolation. I'm still watching. Hope to have a Latte with you someday. Thank you for showing us your journey.
You are entertaining and real you will get many followers keep it up people appreciate honesty and being yourself I have subscribed good luck you are out of the the system in west keep living the dream😊
Ciao . I started following your RU-vid channel because I like Thailand and I like learning about everyday life I like to see a Thailand that is not just touristy. I also like to see what the daily life of an expat is like . I really liked your first videos, your wedding which I remember very well and other recent ones, I appreciated the video with your family, very affectionate. I also like videos about culture, food or tradition I'm also interested how much it costs to live there, my dream is to spend three or four months in Thailand. these are the reasons with the sympathy are the reason why I follow yours and other similar channels ………Agree about marijuana, this can cause a lot of problems. Sad Ciao from Italy
Well, from our point of view, we live vicariously through you & Maybelle Richie😉 We cannot wait to see you & Maybelle again in February 2024…..so glad to see that you have over 1million viewers 🎉 Best, Marietta & Colin from San Francisco 😊
Congratulations to you both I love watching your videos and think you two have done amazing work with your businesses and wishing you all the best in life in the future. You always come across as honest and down to earth keep up the amazing work 👏
Your intake depends on the adverts you force us to watch, I had to watch before the video started and already 2 more after 2 mins, I used to pay premium but it's not worth it for the amount of RU-vid I watch Edit .. 2 more after 6 mins Edit ... 1 more after 12 mins Edit....2 more after 18 mins Edit....2 more after 23 mins Final result... 11 adverts in a 27 min video is going to scare away your viewer's.. I'll continue because you are one of the only ones I watch these days 😊
Hey Richie, how about making a series of "Greetings from Maybelle's Gardens" videos with your expat customers. Let them send a message back home to family and friends. Just a thought, minimum effort and splitable into lots of shorts.
Not surprising to get that many views given the excellent contents you have been creating and discussing life in Thailand; what it is like to live, and start and manage your own business there.
It’s all about click bait also, many use women scantly clad or t….ts hanging out, people are fickle and will click on, at least you have real in-depth and Honest reviews. Fair play to you. All the best and Im sure you will be more Prosperous, even though your doing very well now, your Grounded and Balanced and without Ego that’s the trick , take care.
Fantastic pal first time I have watched your RU-vid channel and you are a straight shooter and deserve all the look in the world and all the very best with your business and family to be.keep up the great work you deserve success because you call a spade a spade
Hi there again Richie and Maybelle, it was wonderful meeting you guys in person today. Lovely Coffee Garden, we enjoyed it. You both Awesome, God Bless You and Your family Abundantly.
I think now REELS and SHORTS are more beneficial than YT. But the closeness that many of your subscribers feel with you will be no more with just shorts and reels. Maybe make shorter videos on YT once in awhile just for the loyal faithful subscribers to see how you all are doing and make sure at the end your outro is fast so they do not hang up before you do. I will miss you all.
I've been trying to do RU-vid for a year properly now, it can be very disappointing when u put time into editing 😢 I will keep at it for 2 years then assess if its worth carryin on..
Good afternoon Richie & Maybelle congrats on your 1mil views we enjoyed visiting today 28.9.23 at your coffee garden your food was to notch 6/6 staff was excellent food was excellent enjoyed meeting you & Mabelle until next time Cheers Mark & Connie 👍
True words Richie. I see RU-vid as side hustle and I enjoy it a lot to do my little videos. If I must bend over and do what the algorithm wants, I'm sure I would get more views but this also would mean I must change myself. I don't want that. For me it's still fun to do what I want. If I must change it I think I would lost my motivation step by step. Continue your good work, focus on the things which are really important for you and enjoy the extra bucks you get with your Channel Richie :)
Thanks for the videos Richie always worth hearing your views and hearing of some of the truths. I have been thinking of doing some videos for sometime but I get the feeling that the video market is pretty saturated now and a lot seems to be the same. Difficult to come up with another thought and after all the time and effort based on yours, well just seems a lot of work and cost for very little return. I am also ex UK but live in New Zealand however will likely retire in Asia, far too expensive now in NZ.
So happy to see every single of your vídeo. What happened to your right arm with all these scratches?all my besti to you and Maybelle. Hope to see you soon
Nothing wrong with clickbaits as long as you don't mislead too much, the content is good and FREE 🕺People always come back because of your good content 👏
RU-vid is hard. Clickbait is how people watch. I do not use Facebook. Shorts are good. Brings more subscribers to your channel. Tik Tok. Everyone is watching. Maybe not the right people. Been subscribed for time. Have a good day
Hi Richie I have been to your coffee garden I talked to Maybelle but you were out, I tried to retire out in Thailand did 8;months I found it expensive and returned to the UK for a few more years, when you watch these RU-vidrs travelling all over you think wow I can do that but these you tubers retire on good money start a you tube channel and it pays for there travelling it's very difficult to do the travelling these RU-vidrs do so don't be fooled thinking you can do this unless you have plenty of money I have met with alot of them they say you tube pays them well
Always love your honesty, there are quite a lot of travel vlogs on youtube which are so formulaic and after a while become a bit boring. You are always interesting Ritchie, you tell it how it is, no bs, I think that is your secret to your success especially with your business. Keep it real man and wishing you and Maybelle lots of success. Greetings from NZ
Love that sign !! It was ridiculous, i was in Kata and it smelled terribly !!!! Morons, spot on !! Are you making $$ on FB, i heard it was a good payer too
I love watching your Videos and is best advertising for you Coffee Garden. Do show really Live in Thailand and the true about Social Media that is not easy to find.
heya , have you ever considered doing patreon or consulting for thai expats ? maybe behind the scenes patreon for maybelles coffee garden , ?? I'm sure theirs a lot of people that want to visit maybelles but cant so might be interested in more "behind the scenes stuff" just a thought.
I find RU-vid seems to push the videos with a lot of eye candy especially videos with bikini's . Or ones where your usually mild language against a corporation like the BBC ( one of mine has over 120k views )
Some people use click bait that has nothing to do with what is in the video, you tend to watch all the way through waiting to see what was mentioned in the title. I feel I have been played for an idiot and just unsubscribe from them. I’m sure eventually lots will unsubscribe from them also. Yours I watch because there is variety. You mentioned Thailand night life but every man and his dog are doing them.
I'm wondering about the Thai government seeming to increase their cracking down on people working in Thailand without work permits. Seems that earning money via a RU-vid channel could come under scrutiny more broadly (although already has in isolated instances). Have yet to hear from anyone vlogging in Thailand about working with that issue. To get a work permit, you have to have a company of record which means (it seems) that one would have to go to a lot of expense and hassle to start a Thai company to give yourself a work permit just to make a small amount of ad revenue. Hope Thailand sorts out how to facilitate the digital nomads and RU-vidrs who bring a lot of money into the country.
Hi Richie long time no comment I have to say I always like your honesty especially what the reason is your on RU-vid is to promote your business. After my visit to your restaurant/coffee shop two year ago and met you in person, I found you very natural other RU-vidr I found not friendly and different people from what the project on their Vlogs like things nowadays they were of bullshit and all an act. Also I think I sent you a Congratulations on the upcoming addition to the family. Arriving in Thailand in November. Keep up the great work Cheers Irish Paul
The reality of not owning the actual land that you and your wifes cafe is on and you talking about wanting to expand your buisness ect....to me its all pie in the sky unless you have got money ..but thats your buisness i suppose but good luck
