THAI VILLAGE CULTURE & WEALTH 

The language thing is definitely hard to deal with. Your lucky both of you know both languages

Robb's Random Ramblings - I love these unedited streams of consciousness videos!

As an older man I no longer make promises that I don't want to keep. I've kept many promises throughout my life. It has cost me a lot of time and money. I know my life is now finite so I don't make those promises anymore.

We’ve been watching some other channels about Thailand for the last week and tbh have decided that only 2 or maybe 3 are ‘bearable’ so we’re now watching some of your stuff twice as a relaxing antidote 😂

If you want science on electronic acupuncture, try researching under the topic of "myofascial tissue trigger points" as well as the topic of "dry needling". Trigger points are often addressed with trigger point injections, but dry needling and acupuncture help greatly too. Sometimes the treatments are run together, with trigger point shots monthly, and dry needling twice a week. Also, yes, adding electricity (via a "TENS" unit) takes it to another level.

Man ....how did you do so many videos... awesome 👍

Beautiful sunrise

You seem like a good dude. I’m a younger guy, currently 42, I’m thinking of living in Thailand 5-7 months of the year. One of my concerns is that I’m going to constantly be around douche bag foreigners that act inappropriate to say the least… good to see there are some decent, honest people with morales and self respect over there….

Great show Robb! Awesome snow storm were getting now in Bad Axe! Stay cool 😎 kind and generous!

Lovely view at 10:40

I've owned sailboats. They truly are a hole in the water that you throw money into. Now I own a recreational vehicle, a motor coach. It's the same thing. Only a little less expensive. As you say, all those things tend to own you versus you owning them. It's actually quite liberating getting rid of a lot of stuff that I've been holding on to for years. And I live in 320 square feet so I don't really even have that much but it's still too much. I've had severe back pain from the neck, mostly numbness and pain in my right arm, but I've also had lower back stuff as well. I would not want to be riding any kind of motorcycle when I had an attack like I used to. But it is an efficient and inexpensive way of getting around.

The post/fence thing is a PITA. I had a fence built around 2 rai at the back of our property in Buriram while I was in the US, and while most of it is OK, a dozen or so of the posts are leaning/falling into the neighbors pond. Their pond is strategically located 1 meter from the property line. Thanks, guys. How neighborly. We are building a house this year, and the company is driving 6 meter friction piles to support the foundation. I am getting a quote on having them drive the same piles on every other post to support the fence near the pond. A few piles at strategic locations might provide extra support for "not deep enough" fence posts. The old saying is really true: "Good fences make good neighbors." Good luck with the build.

I think doing what you want and when is liberating . However it has to be balanced . In a relationship the other person's needs have to be considered too . I am much older than you but the health issues and mobility issues are similar . So when I can't do something because pain kicks in I have to draw the line. I let her do things without me, I don't think you have to be forced to go along with every family outing . Maybe they want you to go so you pay for the excursion . If its too much for me physically I'd rather provide the funds and stay home in comfort . In a way that's also doing what I want ,when I want and why it's for my benefit .

Hey Rob I’ll be getting back to Korat on the 22nd for a few weeks. Looking forward to that coffee but not sure how to get in touch when I’m there.

I’ve basically been retired in the traditional sense since I’ve been 50. As a lawyer I built my practice, made my money then got out of that rat race and sold it. I’ve never retired as a musician and never will. I was lucky to be able to do both as the bulk of my legal practice was entertainment related. But I will say that after traveling and doing basically whatever I want for the past 14 years, it gets a bit boring. Well now I’m going to be a father again and it’s another little girl! When we got the news I was actually elated! While most guys my age are wondering what to do with the rest of their lives, I know what I’ll be doing. Becoming a father again, at least for me, just injected my life with a whole new level of meaning. I loved raising my first daughter and she’s still the light of my life. Now I get to do it again with a woman whom I love dearly and been with for 15 years, when I have the time, wisdom of age and financial resources to give the child a great life and opportunities! I’m so happy for my wife and myself as well! She was told by the docs she’d never have children so it’s a bit of a miracle for us! Now a lot of you will think I’m crazy and I get that. But my life has never been traditional nor conventional in any way nor would I ever want it to be. But my point is that when you do retire, it’s so important to find that meaning to carry you through the rest of your days, whatever that may be for you! The me stuff gets boring after a while. If you can find a good lady to share it with like Robb and I did then that’s great! But find something that gives you that reason to keep getting up every morning. Good luck with the house Robb. It’s a good move for you at this point and it’s not like you’re investing your life savings in it. A new car would cost you more these days!

Yep, nice view 👍 🌞

When I turned 60, I told everyone I didn't give a fuck no more, so don't expect anything, because now I was a grown-up. Never looked back. Did upset the beehive, but didn't care. What aa change.......🙂

Thumbs up 👍 Robb

About your channel size consider shorts or compilation of good stuff

You ever see the car shows in bangkok? They have a big one every year at the end of March. They have moterbikes there too.

Mostly High Frequency Cricket Sounds certainly not created with electronic Soundharassment Equipment

So these videos and your residuals are wealth!

Chronic pain makes a permanent connection between the back and brain over time. What acupuncture does is try to break that connection. That’s how it was explained to me when I went in for treatment because of forearm tendon pain.

Hi, new subscriber to your channel really enjoying your chats hopefully moving back to Thailand next year, just out of curiosity are you a G Shock man 😆.

Are you near Pai? That area looks gorgeous!

New subscriber, you really have a good insight into the complexities of Thai culture, a resfreshing change to most of the Thai blogs on 'entertainment' do you have a channel email address ?

Glad my wife just had concrete posts buried and cemented 2 feet underground around one of her farm plots.

Standard Robb vid: Village life and wealth and shit. Now.... talking about acupuncture... 🤣🤣🤣 Very entertaining! Is this calculated? 🤔

Sawatdee Fawn Koon Sabidee Mai.

Thaught this was worth a mention,her son's and poss.others will be encouraged by outsiders ,saying,you don't have to worry now you'r ma ma has a falang,this in my experiece can cause freeloaders to move in,wife will have difficulty telling them to take a hike,you won' t,regards.

I think you said the quiet part out loud (about burning the house to the ground) 😂.

You do not need to go everywhere your wife family wants to go. Do they go everywhere you want to go? You are retired so go and do what you want to do.

Pineapple on pizza is an abomination Rob!!! 😂😊

He said: "Divorce is rather expensive for the men!" Ha.... Heh... Ugh! 🤯😱☠️

Hey Rob. Really love your videos... If I may suggest something. Unless you are specifically doing a video about food, you should probably refrain from eating on camera... Kinda comes across as a bit 'lo-so' and unrefined. Kinda' devalues your message visually and looks like you lack manners and common sense etiquette.. Just my professional opinion. :)

Your digressions all over tthe place are driving me crazy

Generic fruit lol Love pineapple on pizza

What exactly are you doing for you face rejuvenation lol is the info in a video

I think a male Karen is a Ken 🤷🏻‍♂️

Interesting Groom thai? How old.

Fawn in Scots Law would be described as a Common Law Wife. Unmarried partner living as man and wife. And they do have rights if they have witnesses to prove it.

It seems like being an expat could be socially isolating. I think we take for granted that we in America could just go to a store a gas station etc and have small talk with random strangers.
