I HATED life in England so I MOVED to Thailand  

Cheers for having me on mate, I wasn’t as bad as I thought 😂

As a general rule, if you are running away from an unhappy life, you won't suddenly find life is magical in Thailand. Wherever you go, there you are. However, sometimes it takes a bit of travel to find where you truly belong. Best to be happy in yourself wherever you are

Hi please. I have visited Thailand 108 times,do far, since my 1st visit in 1978. I m 78 now. I have worked in Airline & my air tickets r rebated. I have visited 6 continents out of 7, aways as a tourist. In Thailand I have visited about 21 cities, islands, beaches, so far. All countries in d world r nice & good but As per my travel experience, Thailand is best of all, in every respect.. 95% Thai people r nice, humble,honest & good. Thailand is a safe & secured country by more than 95%. If one has knowledge Thailand is a cheap country by accommodation, food, transportation & shopping etc.. it is rightly said about Thailand LAND of SMILES & PARADISE on d Earth.. thnx

After watching this interview I like Gary even more. Genuine, honest, down to earth guy. Thanks for interviewing him 🙏🏾

I felt exactly the same about the UK 5 years ago and got out..Could only go as far as Ireland. Same crappy climate but quality of life is way way better.

If you can Garry don't come back it's a more happy life there, as you know here in uk not the same no more, plus cold .. I envy you and wish I was in your position... good luck and injoy the time you have there..🙏🍻🍻

What a great guy and interview! Thanks for sharing your story with us Gary,

Very honest and informative interview.

Another well done interview. Kudos, Pete.

I am very grateful and glad that you like Thailand.Thank you that you feel like you are at home when you are here.

Awesome interview and really interesting!

the help he gave the noodle lady is awesome.... loving the interviews

Love this guy. Great interview mate!

Love your interviews. Great job. Love Gary the roaming cook!

I’m a ‘Roaming Cook’ fan, Gary really does Thai food differently, he’s so passionate and personable. I really enjoyed your interview with him. Which brings me to another point… I think you have nailed it doing interviews, I watch them all and I’m always waiting for the next one. I think you’ve found a niche and it’s so different that your channel will grow for sure.

Another great interview!

Good interview ,Gary is lucky that at a still young age ,he has found his place where he is happen ,if he ever comes back to the uk ,it will be like walking in to a brick wall ,after living in Thailand I have visited Thailand 9 times ,love the country ,people ,and heat ,I normally came for two weeks ,but now coming for 1 month in May Hopefully ,now retired at 60 ,it will not be the two week rush anymore Thanks

Interesting story. Good one✌️. Great outlook on life. Loved how he helped the noodle lady❤️

You’re interviewing people I watch all the time. Great content.

RAW, to the point, two straightforward tubers. great vlog, keep 'em coming you two - BRLLIANT!

Excellent interview and really honest guy. First time subscriber but will def be following both now. .

Thairish Times is like the Joe Rogan Podcast: the hub that connects people to other interesting people. Now I am subscribing to all the people you interview!

For me Gary is the the best Thai food youtuber. His passion for the food(and Thailand) is so honest and he uses his knowledge so well to bring the viewer on the journey of whatever dish he is covering. There are no tricks, hooks, or bullshit catchphrases or actions. Just a genuine foody spreading the good word. So cool to hear some of his story. Once again another top interview Pete. Love it.

Great interview , been watch your channel for awhile now and love the content , my girlfriend and I are over in Bangkok at the moment from the US where we live but originally from the UK , we actually have food tour booked with Gary on Tuesday and can't wait to see where he takes us , Thanks again Pete , keep up the great work : )

Great interview kudos to you both, I will check out Gary's channel. well done🙂

Great interview.

Recently re subscribed to your channel Pete, you’ve made amazing progress, enjoying the interviews. Love Gary’s channel as well. Choc Dee to you both 🙏💗🇹🇭

Very interesting story, Gary. Thank you for this Video. You are very near at the real live in Thailand

Interesting and informative…Cheerss

Brilliant.. all the best...

Really resonated with me, I’m 32 and you remind me of me, I’m just a couple years behind ya!! Haha I’m coming out and making the move later this year!!

Proper honest interview . Great questions and great honest answers . Not many people make that big step . But I am proud to say I know you and it was the right move for you 100%.

Raw and susinct . I started seeing Gary because of his Paddy stuff. Networking is the way to go.

Big up Gary!

Hiya, great interview. Nice to hear more about Gary. I love his channel. He has such a love and passion for food. He always makes me hungry. What a great father he is too. Topman. Have a great weekend. Thank you for sharing.

I left in March 2021 planned my escape for 10 years Reasons Over regulated, cost of living being ripped off with in direct taxation 10 million increase in population in 12 years actual birth rate had been in decline (You know the reasons why) Overcrowding declining in moral standards the list goes on, when you arrive in Thailand you soon realise Just How bad it has become

You hit the nail on the head concerning me Gary ,Even though iv'e only done 3 week holiday's to Thailand in the last 14 years ''It feels like home '' go for it mate 100% .I just cant , as much id absolutely love to live there for many reasons ,And it keeps me up at nights so often .But i'm not doing it on a budget 🤦‍♂️

Great interview! It was nice to know a little bit more about you, Gary! Here I am in Thailand watching my favorite youtube videos about Thailand!! 10 more days here before going back to the states. I feel at home in Thailand as well.... It grows on you and you have to end up spending more time here..... or move here!(which is a plan in the works!) So now I have added Thairish Times to my watch list!

Gary is awesome. Another great interview. .

Good interview, kha,👏good guy Gary, 👍 and good Thai food RU-vidr 👍

Just watched that interview with Gary, seems like a really down to earth guy, fair fcks to him, I also see Pete, that you now have 14k subs, fair play to you too, keep up the great work ☘☘☘☘

Your a very good interviewer. You ask a question and just let them talk. You don't interrupt and so people feel relaxed.

Great story Pete 👍 Inspirational for someone young and not made up their mind yet as to what to do in life 🙌

I absolutely love thisvchat. I’m new to your channel, but I really like what I see. I’ve been watching Gary’s channel for quite a while as I’m obsessed with Thai food. It’s great to get to know the people behind the vlogs. Your interview technique is lovely and relaxing. And don’t listen to Paddy - the name of your channel is fine! 👍

Love Bangkok❤ Love the noise, the different things going on. Hope to come there to live myself oneday🤞 Great interview, can fully relate to Routine life at home!

In England I told the wife I was going out for a packet of cigarettes! I ended up in Phuket !That was in June '86 and I never went back!* Thing is I didn't even smoke!

I’m loving the i reviews Pete, keep them coming mate

Another great film Pete thank you both I’m away to join Roman cook page it just keeps getting better and better as I’m joining all the channels of the ppl who are being interviewed

Great interview and chat well done both BTW I did the same 6 years ago and waved goodbye to England to start a new life in Thailand.....best move ever and should have done it years ago...... CHEERS guys

Great video mate. I’m out travelling to Southeast Asia this year - hopefully for a long time too, breaking out of exactly the same cycle as you did, get out my hometown, buzzing

Recently found Gary through Paddy Doyle channel. He's great! Very entertaining.

That's gotta be the cleanest Klong in Bangkok , I must take a look at this guy

Wow,Gary,you in my pray!

He has a great attitude. He’s don’t that early in life for me it will be in retirement but I really don’t fancy retiring here and going to Wetherspoons every day with the rest of the lads.

I know him from Paddy’s channel 😁! It’s good to learn about him more from this great interview indeed! Thank you Pete.

Gary is spot on the the working for the weekend , work Monday -Friday Friday night - Sunday out drink footie then repeat . He done so well in breaking that cycle . He has a great outlook and is very down to earth , the noodle shop was amazing 👏👏👏 really enjoyable vlog Pete. It’s a boooooook you had me in stitches at the start mate 😂😂

Ahhh, I love The Roaming Cook! His videos are addicting!

Love both your channels, Pete you're really killing the interviews at the moment (in a good way..) Gary - any links to your food tours?

You have a great way of making people feel at ease and encouraging them to open up. I love Gary's channel, it was really interesting to hear his journey in a bit more. Keep up the great work.🤩

Subscribed to his channel I love Thai food ....can't wait for a pak a pow

Salute Bradda

Gary and I had the same answer to "do you have any regrets"? Gary appears to be a thoughtful and likable guy. Another good video Pete:)

I found Gary to be a down to earth kinda guy , great reporting from you yet again Pete.

Gary has a good attitude

Roaming cook❤️ i love his video. Thailand seem to be a great tourist destination. I found him in IG Thailand so Beautiful place in his content

Another great interview. Gary has certainly found his niche.

Interesting Interview Pete with Gary. Sometimes I miss some practical questions, such as how you can stay their about visa, earning your monthly income, rent a house etcetera…. But my compliments for your interview style. 🙏

A fair dinkum guy. Good interview. I will subscribe to his channel.

Pete coming back with another banger of an interview, always intriguing to listen to people's life stories keep them coming! As for Gary, he is the best thai food youtuber out there for me, he is that good I am digging out his older videos and binge watching them everyday!!! Well done both :)

My husband and I love your both channels I’m Thai live in Melbourne.

top bloke gary. well worth subscribing to

I totally have mad respect for this guy. 6:00 If Gary believes in past life like Thai people, we can say he had some special “past life connection” with Thailand so he felt immediately like “home”.

Forward towards 10k subs👍

Loving these interviews ! Have you shared your story any how you ended up in Thailand? Long time subscriber but I wonder if I missed your origination story. Keep up the great work.

Quality Quality

My favorite mate 🍜🙏🏽🏆✌🏾⭐️💙😎

Good video

The food! I love Pattaya for the food. Street food, high end restaurants, shopping mall food zone, Thai, French, German, Italian, Indian, British etc. On my first visit I was with friends in the Marquis Bar. A women drove up with a food trolley selling hot sausage rolls, Cornish Parties, pies. Ha ha ha. Heaven after a few pints. Whatever you want...its there.

I have been following Gary since your first video with him few months ago. I should really thank both of you because through your channels I discovered the whole community of RU-vidrs in Thailand that helped me to gain tons of info about there. I have been taking notes of the Gary’s places and I do believe he is making me save a looot of money that would have been wasted in touristy or shopping mall restaurants. For example, the opera singer’s shop is in top 3 places I want to go first! Thanks for bringing him up again on the show 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I like your content. You are super charming and I wish you a lot of success.

At last a sensible comment on crop burning well said Gary! Great interview Pete

Seems a reasonable guy. He can always go back to painting and decorating if necessary .

❤️🙏🏼guys. Sent to my son because Gary you maybe give him the boost to come over. Living🇸🇪born🇬🇧

ดีมากค่ะ

Comes across as a really down to earth guy. I’ll take a look at his channel.

"bring your CV" :D always good advice lol

It is worth reviewing your life. My revaluation happened after I'd just chaired a conference in Chartered Accountants Hall in the City. I stood there with a glass in hand and looked around to see most of the other guys were in mid 50's upwards. I thought I can't do this for another 20 years. I'd grown to hate London after 7 years there. I packed my job in, sold my house, moved to Brittany and live the life I wanted. Countryside, fishing, shooting, camping, travel, motorbike, study. That was 20 years ago. So glad I did. You only get one life. And three trips to Thailand !

Love ur interview series, I wish u could do interview 2 passport1 dream, lily expat life, and carry away channel also, but they all not base in BKK. Anyway, keep it up more in future though, look 4ward to it.

That ‘home’ statement…same as me. I have never felt so comfortable in any brand new place I have traveled to. I have traveled to many many countries and places on this earth and nothing felt like stepping off that plane. STRANGEST feeling I have ever had!

With good karma you did to that noodle shop, I subscribe your (both) channels after watching this vid. Thank you from Thai ppl.

😍 THAiLAND is an EXTREMELY BEAUTiFUL COUNTRY 😘 DELiCiOUS FOOD and NiCE PEOPLE ♥

I am Asian born and raised in Malaysia and Singapore then moved to Australia and frankly i do not like life in a western country. It just sucks on so many levels esp with Covid i keep going back to Thailand which is my favourite Asian country and i cannot believe that all i want to do is to move to Thailand from the west , Australia. Thailand has soul and spirituality and its got a flow to life unlike the unnatural cold and rigid harshness of australian life

I learned at a very young age observing people in America that they all looked miserable all seeking some status and it all just seemed so fake and shallow. Nothing wrong with wanting more money in itself and or the work or career or path you decide to follow in life. But if you are unhappy, miserable, and stressed. It is obvious you are doing something horribly wrong. The only reason I stayed much longer than I should have in my last job was it gave me the ability to travel six months or longer every year. I lived a very frugal lifestyle so was able to save a great deal of money in a very short period of time. In a way, I beat the system and fled America years ago and moved to Thailand. As Gary said it just felt right to be here. The Gary interview was long overdue and it was great to hear his views and the history behind his love of Thai food and why he moved to Thailand. In my opinion one of the few RU-vid channels with a foreign host that truly understands Thai food and speaks Thai. Never been a fan of Bangkok but after watching his channel along with Bangkok Pat I am now willing to spend more time there and explore. The quality of the RU-vid channels out of Thailand has greatly improved just over the last few years. As most are unbearably horrible and attract let's just say some very undesirable humans here. The last thing this country needs are more of the very people who have given us all a very bad reputation here. Keep interviewing Pete the foreigners that have a real love for Thailand and its people and those with higher quality channels like Gary's you can,t go wrong.

Welcome to Thailand the paradise and the second home for all visitor !!!

I feel so tramped I wish I had the courage to move somewhere I love.

Please live a life in Thailand forever!!! You are welcome.

Move to Betong. It's a small town in the deep south with good air quality all year round.

I don't have entrepreneur mindset like him, I would feel insecure without monthly salary.
