❤Love to you .😊
Thank you so much...I love you back:)
wow sound good to me pad tie with kale
do u miss las vegas
I'm happy that Las Vegas is booming right now! So, I miss all the sports events and entertainment venues as well! I don't miss that Vegas heat though...the ocean is much more accessible here in Thailand!
@@ivankamau2846 im going to the tyson fight in texas next month
Bro we need to chat via video at some point.
@@randallwilliams4658 Yep 👍🏿…just let me know when you’re available brother!
I would disagree respectfully.
@@dparms68 I did phrase this thought as a question….not a profound statement. So, I do respect your opinion. Feel free to share more if you have time:) Thank you 🙏 so much:)!
@@ivankamau2846 I do have to say I absolutely love your videos. ❤
@@dparms68 My good sister…you just made my day:) This was very challenging in the beginning but, I have enjoyed the learning process! Feel free to stop by anytime! Respect ✊🏿:)!
It could be a compliment in the sense they think you are not an Uncle Tom, an assimilated slave. African is something to be proud of in their mind. Or not, I can't read minds. They may just be insane.
Ok, that’s one way to look at this. Thanks for your perspective!
Tone of you skin is a great way of saying it Sir.
@@randallwilliams4658 Yes 🙌 sir…we will not subscribe to their propaganda!
I was out there last week & just missed that party, back in UK now missing Thailand. Would have been nice to bump into you & shared some philosophy. Maybe next time Bro... Oh yeah, If you go past a bar called 'Dragon Bar' go in & tell Rita I said hello from charlie 1....But Don't ring the bell, it gets expensive!.
@@charliesilverman1132 Likewise, it’s always good 👍🏿 to meet another good brother! Will definitely 💯 say hello for you when I get a chance…definitely trying to pace myself! I plan to be in Thailand for a long time brother, so connect with me when you return! Respect ✊🏿
Have a nice trip
@@AB-cs8xf Thank you 🙏 sister…you are my family forever! Love you!
ครอบและคนรอบข้างชอบมองว่าพอเราคบกับฝรั่งต้องได้เงินจากเขานั่นไม่ถูกต้อง.โชคดีแค่ไหนเราเตอคนดีแถมเขาไม่ได้มาเป็นภาระและเขาก็ไม่ได้มาเอาเปรียบเราด้วยเจาดีกับเราด้วยอย่าแคร์คนรอบจ้างของคุณถ้าตะมีใครสักคนที่เป็นฝรั่ง
Thank you so much for your comments. I appreciate you for taking the time to watch this video as I continue to learn about the Thai culture and make good Thai friends. I hope you will make comments again whenever you have time. I'm also happy to do an interview with you if you would like...I also have friends who can translate for me if necessary. Thank you:)
Did you just start the video with "17 years old"??? 😳
@@siliconiusantogramaphantis2122 she’s actually the in her 30s…and it’s not uncommon to start that way
That is a very interesting topic! What people fail to accept, realize, or have forgotten is that we "Africans in America" are a conquered people. And by the conversation you had with that individual he obviously has forgotten that fact! You did the right thing by stepping back from that conversation. It also touches on another fact that when a people is conquered, it is customary that the victor try to erase the others' history in order to make themselves appear great. It's happened all through history. And they make you drink the proverbial "kool-aid", making you believe "their truth:, which is actually the lie!
Yes sir…we must always follow the truth, and not fall for the lie!
Don't tell me , you are Kamau😂. Mundu wa nyumba😅.
Now this was awesome!!
Beautiful plantation. Nice green rolling hills and bright blue skies. Wish I was there.
@@gary4451 Yep,very nice experience! Food was good as well!
This is very true!
@@jahvaurwilliams5057 Yes 👍🏿 sir!
When you interview, at the end ask for their social media handles so if people want to reach out to them or l earn more about them.
@@THE-BASEMENT Good idea, thanks 🙏
Thanks for this video. It's informative and great to see interviews from Thai locals who aren't corrupted by the adult industry. Most of the videos I found on UA-cam were about bar girls. I'm a Veteran and retired early. I left my W2 job last year. I'm in my early 40s, have around $10K passive income, and was looking at Thailand as a possible place to live in for a bit. Now I have Isan on my interest list. Hua Hin was the other area. *Forgot to mention my parents were immigrants from Thailand, but they're not Thai. They're Hmong and were refugees of the Secret War.
@@Constellasian Yep, I watched many videos prior to my arrival! The closer I got to my departure from the US, I started watching content from those who gave more relevant content to my purpose! I haven’t been to Hua Hin yet, but I hear it’s very nice! If you just stick to your budget you can live a very comfortable lifestyle in Thailand! My intentions are to share content from a place of love, wisdom and encouragement! Thanks 🙏 for sharing your thoughts!
Sawatdee Krub my friend 😎
Thanks for the visit
I'd skip china for now since the u.s. started paying top dollar for hostages. Save that till the world calms down a little. Also your a visitor now so all the "Rights" granted to citizens you dont have there. Besides your in a paradise compared to the west dont let some bum ruin your adventure. Remember your the main character in your story dont let anyone else steer you down the wrong path. Also that whole street probably knows the second a foreigner hits the sidewalk no chance of sneaking by anything especially if your a foot taller than everyone in the country 🤣
I wish the west had 1% of the decency I saw in asia. Like a whole different world. 28hour flight is rough but worth it.
@@ItsOk-mq9ex definitely 💯 worth it!
Ah yes most people forget asians are smaller so its a little hard to find clothes to fit us wide body foreigners 🤣🤣 Also don't underestimate the heat! sweated off 20lbs out there.
Doing a great job capturing the beauty there all these places look amazing. Found yourself a true paradise. Thanks for sharing so the rest of us can live vicariously through you ♥
I lived vicariously through others for many years and now it’s my reality! Hopefully this will become your reality as well…if you wish it to be!
Wonderful video, Amazing host, Great guests. That "Dinner Spread" was for their honored guest YOU!. Also touching story about the teacher and the nails. What a refreshing breath of fresh air. Also I noticed in the ph if someone is staring at you its just because they probably never saw a foreigner in real life, I just started smiling at them and they instantly smile back. Asia is a treasure of culture and respect. Thanks for sharing another great day!
Yes so many positive experiences. Will eventually do retirement visa...plan to be here for a while! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, much appreciated!
Smile is very contagious Uncle handsome. May your life be filled with endless happiness!
May the sun always shine and the calm winds blow, bringing you peace in your life, always!
Amazing spot. Wonder what kind of fish are in there. Also forgot last time... Congrats on 100th vid! 🥳
"Amazing", is a perfect discriptor! It was not hot, there was a cool breeze...that day was so perfect, I didn't want to leave! Judging from the sound of the splash, and ripples...there are probably some nice size fish in this lake! Thank you so much!
The news isn't news anymore in the west. It's hand selected clips to incite division and push false narratives so the wealthy elites can remain in power and lord over the masses whilst gaslighting them. Nice find on that restaurant clip had me salivating over here. I ❤ you.
What a great style you have. Great video. Thank you and good luck with your channel 👏🙏
Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. I want to build a small community built with love, wisdom and encouragement!
@ivankamau2846 that would be refreshing content. Subscribed and look forward to your content 👌
@@freddiesfriendsfoundation Likewise, looking forward to your content as well!
@@ivankamau2846 Wow! Thank you so much! 🙏
love it
Keep posting Mr K ... If you post the subs will come.
@@ItsOk-mq9ex Will do! Thank you 🙏 so much, I appreciate your kind words!
I'll choose nature over the city life every time. This is a beautiful home and the surroundings are like something out of a dream. Wish I was there right now!
@@gary4451 You said it perfectly, and there was much more to that property that I didn’t see! Aside from this highly aggressive bee 🐝…thought it had flown away, it crawled inside my shoe and stung me as I crushed it! The owner was so nice…I will go back to help on that farm voluntarily, when I can!
@@ivankamau2846 Bees always have the right of way and get to go first. LOL! I was wondering, what is the town near you like? Are there grocery stores, movie theaters, banks, hospitals, etc.?
@@gary4451 This farm is in Thoeng, over an hour east and about an hour from the border of Laos 🇱🇦! They have about 3 banks, but no movie theaters, taxis. There is a local market with many vendors and local storefront shops. “Big C” is the biggest department store there…equivalent to Kmart! The nicest hotel is “Sand View”, about 1800 baht per night…$50 US. Has 3 hospitals!
@@ivankamau2846 I see...you are between Chaing Rai and Chaing Mai. It is good to know that there are some stores and hospitals nearby. Where do people gather to socialize? Are there night markets or city areas where people congregate? I am curious as to where the nice girls can be found. LOL! I don't drink or go to bars.
@@gary4451 There are some restaurants that provide awesome meals and perfect settings for socialization! Otherwise, they go to each other’s homes! They are tribal…they can introduce you to someone!
Beautiful vibe! Can hardly wait to see it in person. Keep up the great work fam. Peace and blessings!
@@WaltAaron This was a very good day! Will do! Hotep!
I enjoyed your video.

@@jakimadivinite3477 Thank you 🙏 so much, my beautiful daughter! Will continue to do my best!
Ivan, good to see you back on your feet. Are you sure that you want to teach that young lady how to use those sticks? She may get angry with you one day and beat you like a drum. LOL!
@@gary4451 Thanks 🙏, Gary! The strategy is to teach her everything she knows, but not everything I know! 😂
😂
Ivan, when are you going to interview another classy Isaan women? It's great to see what Isaan women are like and how they live their lives.
@@gary4451 Hey Gary, thanks 🙏 for your question and comment! I was sick 🤒 over the weekend,and beginning to feel better today! I’m negotiating another interview…she is not confident with her English , but I will have an interpreter. Will try to do over the weekend!
@@ivankamau2846 Excellent 👍 Hope you feel better soon.
Isan is huge. Just saying she's from isan doesn't really say too much. I enjoy the sincerity of this girl. No garbage coming out of her mouth.
@@fruitloops3718 Exactly…you’re definitely 💯 on point! Thanks 🙏 for your comment!

@@jameswilson1522 My pleasure brother! Please stay tuned, there is much more to come. Hotep!
You’re doing great my man 👍👍🤞🤞
@@AnhDT510 Thank you 🙏!
You are correct. Over a decade ago an old Thai man who worked at a gas station in Dallas Texas who knew I had been recently divorced told me if I ever wanted a good lifetime wife, get a Thai girl. He was right. After having moved here my Thai GF and I spent 6 years together and then married, as happy today as everyday. *That old Thai man back in Dallas was right!*
@@SmellySumtom Thank you 🙏 for your comment! I love hearing a story like this! Happy to see you win 🏆 at this game called love…I’m hoping for a similar outcome!
@@ivankamau2846 Well mannered, clean shaven, I would say you are well prepared on your way. Fate will likely find you on your way, and outcome will be as that old Thai man's wisdom of happiness. We built a house all paid for, the land from her family and the house cost around 35k, it will serve her well after I am gone, along with whatever I can save for her future after me. This is the yin/yang of that happiness. I am the same as the family favorite pet dog (that may sound harsh, but it's a really great life). My wife speaks English and has gotten better with the years of us. I can't speak conversational Thai, she speaks conversational English, that's important. Every day we smile into each others face and that's most important. *subscribed*
@@SmellySumtom Thank you 🙏 so much for your kind words and speaking good fortune to my life! In a world 🌎 that seems to be full of many who are incapable of such a deed…choosing to attack and hurt each other in every way! I humbly accept this very positive energy as a valid sign towards my good fortune! Peace be with you and your family today, and forever!

@@patrickprendergast9589 Thanks 🙏 for taking the time to comment! Red curry 🍛 with chicken is the best…other than that it’s Pad Thai, Khao Soi, Pakapow, or stir fried kale and egg all day, everyday!
