Simon does a good job of keeping his chin up. He just finished building his dream retirement business in Thailand and the whole world shuts down. Some guys might not be able to handle it but Simon seems to keep marching on.
well said... stay positive and stay healthy is the only thing anyone can do. UK will start vaccinating the country next week. I hope all goes well !! 2020 is such a crappy year.
Back in 2013 I lived in a rural farming village for 2 years and then returned to the city. Two years later I went rural again. You can't beat the people and the relaxed lifestyle. Until you've lived rural you don't REALLY know Thailand.
Your skills at Story telling are coming to the Fore. Well done my man. CB media and Yourself are my Favorite Bloggers. Simon has a a gift at telling a story in words. You tell the story in production. Love the style. Congratulations on a great production.
@@RetiredWorkingForYou thats a great idea you should team up with cb media It would be fun sure. and maybe with notime2besad I hope I can join you all in thailand soon , your videos are gold thank you for amazing and valuble content
Absolutely incredible video. 10 out of 10. I'm speechless. Great job Chris, I feel like you are putting up some of the best videos on UA-cam and not just in the Thai vlogging arena but all of UA-cam.
Whaaaatttt??? I've watched more than a few of Simons videos but I've never seen such an immersive capture of his property. This place looks so peaceful. I didn't even know he had farm animals there. I've really lost my power of observation but you brought back bro. Great video and Simon seems like a great dude. I pinned this on my map immediately. Got to stop by just to try the cooking!
I can't wait to get back to Thailand again. I always spend my time in the cities but this video has made me think of the country side. Well done, loved the video.
Chris, I follow you from your early days back in may-june you have no idea how I have enjoyed every video! Many blessings for you and your family⭐️🙏🏼⭐️
Very cool you got to hang out with Simon! What a great spot and wonderful group of people! That was some great footage you got with your drone. Thanks again. Stay safe. From the US
I watch Simon's channel and was really happy to see you visit there. Hope this terrible situation ends soon and we can all freely visit Thailand again and get some money flowing.
It was so cool that you stayed at Simon resort and gave his business a nice shout out. I watched several of Simon videos and he seems to be a nice decent man who refuses to give in to negative feelings even though he must have them occasionally he’s human after all.
Awesome Chris.... Let Simon know as soon as I am back in Thailand... We will be coming by for a few nights.... Loved this vid. This is what life is all about
Thank you Chris, it was really great and really inspiration! I live in the countryside too. Love how you edited the video, get to see all the beautiful countryside that normally people don't get to see it.
I like you in a more chilled speaking mode one CB in Thailand is a plenty. Thanks for helping out Simon and Khun Mem. Excellent videography and drone footage.
I loved this video, Chris.And it's always so fun to see how small this Thailand youtube world actually is. In a short time, Every youtuber you visited in the past week, I already follow for quite some time. From Jira, to Jonny all the way to Simon and Mem. I wish better times will come for their resort.
You are doing a marvelous job shooting the scenery with the drone. Awesome! Ow and I almost forgot to commend the sound effects. Authentic sound surround heheh! Great work, Mister!
From several UA-camrs, they can learn and support each others. I am sure that Simon has enough pension or saving without any need to build this resort but he did because of his passion. From viewers, we can see preferred lifestyle after our retirement.
Chris, I am Thai and I have been thinking about having a foreigner who loves traveling in Thailand and speaking English publish some videos like this. Finally, I found you . . I really like your style, content, accent and your videos. Keep doing a great job!.
What a magnificent place!! Just beautiful and so peaceful. Thank you. I'd surely love to visit and stay here. Simon is so knowledgeable about this landscape. So peaceful. Thank you!!
Simon is a great guy. I am sorry to hear his wife had to go back to the UK. It's a beautiful resort tucked away in a beautiful picturesque area of Thailand. Wish I could go to see it myself. Very nice drone footage of the area as well.
wow so beautiful, I have fellowed Simon story, he one first Thai frang you tubers i started to watch many years ago, He definitely living the Thai dream now amazing
Going from spending time with Jonny to Simon is for sure a completely dynamic, both are great people. I would love to spend a few days at Simon's place just to take a breath and unwind. Thank you this vid......
Thanks for another great video mate. Who else reckons that a motorcycle tour down to Hua Hin and back with Chris would be the go when things open up again. I’m sure I’ll be riding my bike to this place first , looks great. Will bring rods and tackle too.
Very nice place for relaxing, beautiful Padi field. Good for mind and soul relaxing. With cool enviroment and mountain covered.. That's fantastic, and thanks for the video making person. Fantastic job.
Beautiful place and lovely surroundings. The foods looked fabulous and very tempting, just like home cooking. Great place to relax. Thanks for showing us!
Amazing video You have a personality that everyone gravitas towards such a genuine guy I'd love to have a drink and a walk around with you And Simon is living the dream and a nice guy !!
Wow Chris ! No one could have shown simon’s place better then you ! Outstanding work gone behind this video ! You have amazing skills mate , such a pleasure to watch your videos.
คนไทยมากองตรงนี้ ขอบคุณแทนคนดูทุกคนด้วยครับ ที่นำเสนอที่พักที่เที่ยวในไทย
ที่พักที่นี้ ทำสวยมาก บังกะโล ก็ถูก แต่อาจจะไกลตัวเมืองไปหน่อย เหมาะสำหรับ คนแวะพักและไปต่อ
แม้แต่ฝรั่งยังรักเมืองไทย
พวกเรามาทำเมืองไทยให้น่าอยู่กันนะครับ
ผมว่าเหมาะสำหรับคนเทียวที่ไม่ได้อยากเที่ยวในเมืองนะ
เพชรบุรี เมืองคนไทย ราคาคนไทย ผมเที่ยวบ่อย ปราณบุรีด้วย ไม่เหมือนบางจังหวัด เมืองไทยราคาฝรั่ง มาเฟียเยอะอีกตะหาก
จิงๆบ้านเรามีที่เที่ยวอีกมากมาย ถ้าเปรียบเทียบหลายๆประเทศ เราโชคดีมากที่เกิดบนแผ่นดินไทย
สุดยอดเลย เก่งมาก
Simon does a good job of keeping his chin up. He just finished building his dream retirement business in Thailand and the whole world shuts down. Some guys might not be able to handle it but Simon seems to keep marching on.
yes, it's inspiring to see how some people always stay positive.
well said... stay positive and stay healthy is the only thing anyone can do. UK will start vaccinating the country next week. I hope all goes well !! 2020 is such a crappy year.
@Eli the Cult Leader and Comment Deleter Why is he a fraud? who is he trying to outsmart?
You were right to choose Thailand. Countries in the tropics, cool. People have good hearts. Importantly, Thai food is delicious.
So true!
คนต่างชาติมากมายเลือกที่จะมาอยู่เมืองไทยในวัยเกษียณครับ เมืองไทยน่าอยู่มาก มีความสงบ และมีอิสระเสรีมาก
Back in 2013 I lived in a rural farming village for 2 years and then returned to the city. Two years later I went rural again. You can't beat the people and the relaxed lifestyle. Until you've lived rural you don't REALLY know Thailand.
it was an eye opener for me.
ขอบคุณคริสที่รักเมืองไทยครับ มีความสุขในเมืองไทยนะครับ👍🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
คุณนับว่าดีที่ได้อยู่ไทยในขณะที่คนต่างชาติทั่วโลกต่างอยากมาไทยตอนนี้มากๆ ขอให้อยู่ไทยอย่างมีความสุขใช้ชีวิต ที่ดีนะคะ 🙏🙏🙏
thank you so much!!!
ในช่วงไม่กี่ปีมานี้ ถนนต่างจังหวัดทั่วประเทศ สร้างใหม่ เยอะมาก สวยๆทั้งนั้น ถนนใน กทม ดูกากไปเลย
ยุคนายกตู่มีแต่สร้างไรเยอะแยะไปหมดชาติพัฒนา เจริญ ต่างชาติยังงง
เส้นโชคชัย เด่นอุดม เพิ่งเสร็จถนน 4 เลย เรากลับสุรินทร์วิ่งสบายเลย
ไม่พูดมากตามนั้น คนมองเห็นก็คือเห็น ไม่ค่อยเห็นแล้วยุคนี้ที่ถนนแปะพลาสเตอร์วิ่งไปกระดกไป
เป็นคนเดินทางไป ตจว.บ่อยค่ะ บางเส้นนี่ถึงกับ งง อ้าวถนนคือใหญ่ขึ้นวะ สวยด้วย ไม่ได้อวยนะคะ แต่ครั้งแรกที่เห็น งง จริง แบบไมถนนดูอินเตอร์ขึ้นจังวะ
ใช่ครับถนนดีมากจนคนขับรถเร็วและประมาท อยากให้มีเลนจักรยาน มอเตอร์ไซด์ต่างหากด้วย
