Doing okay. Looks like some bags under your eyes. Trip is okay. For me I'm happy to see you and family doing good. Trip with family so you can get quick access to them while still working the channel is a good idea. It can help with life when you can get love and normalcy with family. Local characters like, possibly your father in law and his life, while separating himself from people, which is quite common as we get older. Sorry igf this is too personal. I'm Aussie, 70 years old in a week. (7/10/54).... 3 sons all doing their own thing, their mother got house, new car. It's okay I give freely. Me, living on old boat in Brisbane River. The boys came here for university. From Innisfail, North Queensland. I have had a good life. Wish it could last forever. 😂.. Will leave Brisbane next year and travel. I'm pretty happy and done a lot, so not much else to do. 👍❤️😇
My Dad WW2 went in to help the Burmese people against the Japanese. Burma Star. He always wanted to go back & visit. Was stationed Singapore as well. ❤ed Asia & maybe thats why I do as well. 💞💞💞💞
There used to be a Vegan Cafe in Chiang Mai called Free Bird. Earnings go toward helping Burmese refugees. Not sure if it is still there. Food was pretty good.
Burma is the only country in the world where you eat tea😊 it is called Lapeth there and it is really fermented tea leaves. Very yummy. You and Damo should visit Burma you will love it. If you think Rural Thailand is laidback the whole of Burma is ten times more laidback. Lovely people and country you feel like you went back in time. Nice vlog.
We moved from Bangkok to our little village over a period of time so was a gradual thing as I got older. I couldn't see myself doing it at your age as I was still into adventure. Now I am happy to put my feet up, do a bit of farming and have the occasional laugh with the locals. I do enjoy a bit of dejavu though which your vlogs provide really well. Keep them coming :)
Thanks Ryan, I've really enjoyed your Pia series. You have an interesting, unique perspective that opens my mind to Thai living. You also are great at capturing the "off the beaten path" of life, which is where the the real world can be found. Cheers!
"Its only important if you've been doing RU-vid for a long time and you're not up your ass about how important you are..." Classic! This trip has been a nice departure and I personally enjoy seeing new places, people, ideas. While I'd prefer to be present, the vlogs are entertaining nonetheless. Safe travels back home.
Thanks for the videos from Pai. Always great to see it. Love the place. And will be great to see the train trip home, 1st class. Safe trip around the mountain back to Chiang Mai
Watching your channel for 4 years now and enjoying every vdo. I love your rants and seeing you challenged by the burden of a creative mind. You already evolved a lot and established a strong base (people love your channel and that wonderful family), so I'm sure you'll find ways to further evolve and find inspiration (either on trips or by doing special activities in Buriram?). ❤🎷
The food is most wonderful on the banana pancake trail. I haven't been over there in 10 years, but miss it every single day. I was trying to make the move this November, but determined one needs at least $1800 a month retirement or residual income and preferably about $30,000 cash in the bank as well as insurance and options to deal with life be it a surgery, natural disaster, or a world changing event presenting another big crisis like 2020. I don't believe we're going to be OK in America and Britain for much longer for it's getting crazy. Pai has really developed into a touristy center. When I went, I camped on the river and there was maybe 2 or 3 small plain restaurants with police watching us a bit too closely so I found that one uncomfortable and not so interesting. Interesting exploration in bringing the story of how Pai is changing since 2020, but a young liberal European crowd isn't my oyster though I've been around that many times wishing more Americans traveled. Well, lots of Americans are traveling and expatriating in the 2020's who are financially well off and then of course there are homeless backpackers risking it, but that's not the way to go abroad. How are the costs? $10 a night for fan room and $15 and up for aircon room with meals running $3 to $10? I see the inflation is not so terrible over like in America. Our food costs are really going up while quality is abysmal. My American dream is to leave America yet I was a most proud American 20 or more years ago with the drive and will to serve in our military which was a very steep brutalist learning curve about how this world works and what role America and other countries play forming the dangerous geopolitical quagmire and the unnecessary stupid wars. The truth is completely different than we were told and promised. I fear greatly what is to happen here and around the world when the US dollar and its new world order born out of WW2 collapses out on debt default known as sovereign credit crisis which is what sets off famines and wars. Then no where is going to be safe? I have $1400 USD disabled veteran income while America still stands. I wish to get back on that healthy food and into a healthy social life and outdoors without fear of shooters, road rage, and hostile lunatics which is problem all over America that's becoming a real mess. Someone told me recently I should go on back to back B business visa since I'm $500 short of qualifying for retirement visa. Is that a good idea for me to go on 3 month B visa. What would you recommends I get after in order to make a necessary expatriation not teaching ESL like in my younger years in South Korea and Thailand? I like Korea and Taiwan too, but that's hot war zone fixing to go off, most uncourtly so. Thank you in advance if you took some time to pass me your knowledge and recommendations and advice.
I really didn't want to watch this last upload of your Pai trip. It just seems like such a bore of a place to be when you've seen the same old thing 100 times in other places. Like you Ryan, give me a quiet place with my family anyday. Thankyou for sharing .
Could you ever return to UK life after the freedoms and healthy living in Thailand? Also what is a good app to buy the train tickets as I am coming over in January and would like to visit Chang Mai and Pai?
We have just had 5 days in Chiang Mai, including 1 full day doing the tourist route to Chiang Rai and we're very lucky with the weather, fine days with some rain at night, mainly in the Old Town area. Tuesday to Sunday so wish you luck.
A must-visit spot is Pai’s canyon which is around a 20 minute bike ride out of town. This is a cool spot to hike around with beautiful panoramic views to marvel at. As someone scared of heights do struggle to explore some parts of the canyon as the drops are so steep, but if you’re braver than them there’s so much to explore. I think you should recommend coming here either at sunset or sunrise to be treated to some stunning sky views all around you. It’s super silent early in the morning with only the sound of birds and the breeze in the trees. If you’re into meditation then this is the perfect place to feel truly harmonious with the natural world in its stillness and quiet. Be sure to take your camera by taking images with Damo, Otis & Hugo because it’s a prime place for some gorgeous photos when you're going to bring them along when you're coming to Pai again!
Gorgeous in the right season, would not want to expose my children to the “smoky season” wouldn’t want to shorten their lives! Myanmar and Laos need to be on board to stop this, Laos maybe, Myanmar too many other problems
You should take the family to siam beach resort in koh kood , absolutely beautiful mate , the water is safe for the kids and the staff are amazing. We just really relaxed.
Really enjoyed this series thanks Ryan, thanks for taking us with you. So interesting to hear of how others have made the north their home, great interviews. I’ve been to Thailand many times but never the north, that may change now thanks to you. My son is currently backpacking the north so to see so much rain is a tad disappointing.
It’s none of my business, but could you use Thai music instead of free generated stuff 😀 Edit I also have really enjoyed your Pai Thailand journey🎼🤘🏻🤘🏻
I would love to but the comments I get are “You are going to ruin your channel with this music” And “shit music” So I just go for the stuff I like which is soul and blues and it’s also paid for. 😁
Great video as usual. Thanks Ryan. Just wondering why you are not flying? I checked flights and they're similar price. (I get that the train is a unique experience but with a flight there is a lot of time saved)
Well done. I enjoyed your interviews very much. Normally on youtube they tend to be so cringy but your guests were very unique and had interesting stories to tell. Nice job.
Hey man, I've discovered your channel recently and have found the insight into your life quite interesting. I feel like you and I have so much in common, I'm originally from Canada and we are almost the same age. I've lived the majority of my adult life in China and am now settled down in Taiwan. It feels like so much to type out, I feel like we've had similar journeys in life and have very similar outlook on things. I'm also quite stuck into my business and daily routines with not much of a social life, so it's really nice to hear someone else talk about these things. I've made two short trips to Thailand this year and plan to do a few more over the next 12 months or so, my wife and I are exploring the possibility of moving to Thailand. Anyways...not sure where I am going with this comment, I guess I just want you to know I think you are doing a great job with youtube and your family. Hopefully you will see this, cheers.
I enjoyed the series ❤People are enjoying and living life their way ❤ Some people are bothered by how others choose to live and this series is refreshing ❤
