    In Thailand you get into trouble for flying a foreign flag, in UK you get into trouble for flying the UK flag. I think this tells you all you need to know.

    Excellent video brother! This stuff is probably more important than learning about the 3 day rule and stuff like that. Keep up the great work, love your channel! I also appreciate the way you edit makes the videos flow and keep me interested. Also just wanted to rant about all the creepy Thailand videos that some people make just walking around like a creep and filming girls I prefer your honest takes and advice over that crap. Cheers!

    The defamation one is super easy to avoid. Don't post under your real name and don't post details that identify you. Post a review a month later about something vague like "poor service" and they'll have no way to follow through. If you post something like "I was in room 222 on 14th September" then you're putting yourself in danger.

    Hi Mac. I have loved your channel from the outset for your great insights and content. I can connect to it easily as I've been going to LOS for over 20 yrs. You put a lot of effort into editing your videos giving them a unique stylized look that sets you apart from everyone else. I'm into videography and use Premiere Pro. Kudos to you sir! May I ask your preferred editing software and do you have a fav source for your cool effects? Thank you and keep it going!

    On my best mate's second visit to Thailand(while I was living there) after me re-telling him how to say Hello, thank you and goodbye and sorry and cheers etc he went to Lumpini stadium and while making a bet he put a 100 Baht note under the leg of his chair, one of the serving ladies freaked out(but realised he was sorry, even though he was saying Khop Khun Khap instead of Kor Thot Khap)...bad place for that mistake, I know quite a few Thai Army guys and when I won about 6000 dollars at a casino on the border(not gonna say exactly where) there were a few of them near-ish, I had to get them to collect me as there were a few geezers our to steal my money back, it got a bit tricky, I have a LOT of stories from South East Asia.
    Love the place.

    Second week in Patia, they got me for no helmet. Luckily it was just 1000.
    The guy had a point in that I didn’t have an international license either, so my fine should have been 2000. They even had a laminated sign. DEF a scam, but it’s a good one.
