Hey thanks for sharing how this channel and us viewers has been helping you. Your videos certainly have helped me! I'm a bit of an isolated hermit, so when you get excited to go see somewhere new, I'm right there with ya! This has been quite the trip and I'm glad we're all here to enjoy it!
You can set your screen to Blue Screen which will lower the colours that keep you awake. You can set it to automatically change when evening hits. That will help you sleep.
Bolt is so great in Thailand and I love it. Your comment on technology is spot on. I only do 3 week trips and take enough cash to last me. My card used for emergency (not my commbank card)
Before sleep i eat 2 G'nite Gummys from 7-11 and I fall asleep pretty quickly. Before i had trouble falling asleep aswell. It might help you out. Also went to Khaosan Road last night, then went into an alleyway, walked a long road and then turned up at the place where you bought ur 7-11 clothes. I said to my friend I know this place even I havnt been here lol. I said watch there is gonna be a blue oldtimer around this corner and a massage place where they hammer you haha. Then we went trough that little sketchy alley and some tourists were scared to go trough, I said nah its fine (like i have walked there a 1000 times) So actually ur video's helping me IRL lol.
I like this daily uploads, when I wake up, its the first thing I watch with my coffee! 😉 When I struggle to fall asleep, I try to focus on listening to my breathing and try not to think. Or I put my headphone on with some boring movie.
I got a new card with the CBA last year and my Aussie number had expired so I called them and explained the situation and that I was on a "fairly long trip overseas" - (since 2008) and would they mind accepting my Thai number until I come back. They swapped it over straight away. Now I get all my notifications via my Thai sim. Maybe see if that approach works?
Marco I use an app on my that has different sounds on it. Atm Im falling asleep pretty fast to the sound of a gentle waterfall or rain on a tent. Give it ago. Also take melatonin 30mims before you put your head on the pillow.
Water monitor is called a Hi a, (heeya). It is a traditional greeting for taxi drivers, 7 11 workers and bar staff. Be sure to use it when you meet someone new. Thank me later.
Thanks again mate. I'm also traveling SE Asia full time. The laptop is the sleeping enemy at nights. Got to commit a cut-off time and acknowledge & commit to having something better to swap it for, that makes you feel better (like an early morning run) I assume your coffee addiction could be trouble for you too! Hey I use Wim Hof breathing method. About 4-5 rounds. A natural body and mind stone that will let you sleep or go into heavy meditation as you like. Best feeling ever.
Thanks man! Really appreciate the tips 👌🏽 Yea coffee Addict hard, I just love it so much … But need to cut it before 2pm I would say Enjoy Thailand 🇹🇭😎
With CBA, you should be able to speak to someone through the message chat service on website and ask them to call your Thai mobile if can’t resolve your issue. I had credit care fraud and Bankwest called me in BKK.
Calling on international roaming will always be a problem cost wise, I have 2 active sims, but l use skype when l need to call my bank or somewhere l expect to be on hold back to Aust, etc. Costs nothing, $10 credit goes a very long way and you just call the local number. Consider getting a wise or revolut card (or both) as back up. I don't even bother with my Aust bank anymore and have been travelling for 3 yrs and never had a problem.
Marco this was the perfect video to address my biggest concern. Don’t worry been to Thailand 30+ times but with the grab/uber app why does it say to go to a certain pickup point , which can be over 50 m away and they don’t come to you ???? They know where you are yet they’ll always state go to their pickup point This may not sound like a big deal but if a foreigner isn’t away of landmarks and their surroundings you’re gone You may say ring up the grab driver, but often they don’t pick up or if they do they don’t speak English Please mate make a video or address this in your vlogs. Doesn’t sound like a big deal from Aussie but trust me it is
Try keeping another pad near your bed when you have thoughts write them down. This might help you sleep knowing your thoughts or ideas are saved. Also maybe try shutting everything off and just sitting in the dark for 30 min to think then go to bed. Just thoughts I'm not an expert
For sure! Need to make a routine like that … otherwise I just think, I’m just really not enjoying sleep at the moment, just wanna pump out content and explore
Your body needs a routine. I understand its hard with your travel and vlogging but you should really try to stick to one as much as possible. No screens 2hrs before the time you want to sleep. Paper books or magazines if you want. No caffeine atleast 4hrs before you want to sleep. No late snacks. When you lay down do a head to toe relaxation search full body scan relaxation or head to toe relaxation meditation. Its basically focusing on every inch of your body independently to relax it. Its great for a racing mind
@@Goosewaffles you are definitely spot on an I agree with everything you said. I just get so bored before bed and want to chat and watch videos while laying in bed. But I do need to implement what you said ✌🏼
@@marcoroamsraw commit and try it for 13 days. 13 days is how long it takes on average for your brain to accept a new routine. If you focus on it day by day, 13 days is nothing. Ill trade you. You try that for 13 days and ill try something you suggest to benefit my life for 13 days. We both can lift eachother
Hey Marco…we were worried, kept looking for Marco Roams and nothing! No videos then we found you here! Thank god for that, was getting tired of lame caravanning videos of people running their dog on a beach ect, ect.
I can’t man cause as far as I know the number can only be sent to you if you have global roaming on … the SIM card is in my phone but no credit … maybe I need to try this?!
Get the bank sorted & u should sleep better, less worry. Maybe a massage? You are working too hard, trying to think of content so your mind is racing. Have a day off .👍 Less cafeine and as someone.mentioned a routine. Better than meds.
this problem that you have makes me afraid to travel. Blocked from the bank, no money, the bank tells your mom you need to call them but when you do they don't pick up the phone...this a terrible situation i would be so stressed
Oh man it’s horrible …. It’s been over a week now, I managed to access some money but still stuck without being able to to use my cards to purchase online .. they keep asking for codes
Where's your Australian sim card attached to your phone number? have to keep Aussie sim plan active. All the banks verify by your home country number attached to your accounts.
@@frankfurtur5531 yeah mate all active… but it’s not working cause of the new iPhone I got … it reset all this stuff and its an absolute mission to fix it
I reply to the first 20 comments on every video … any questions you have, or anything you want to say, I’ll reply 😎
Thanks for watching, much love 🙏🏽
Thank you for all your great videos. We love watching. Stay safe on your travels ❤ from Perth

"Robust," your facial expressions crack me up. 😂
Hahaha yeah! Arabica is where it’s at 👌🏽
Maybe lay off the Arabica so you can get some sleep 😴. You should be so exhausted running around all day that you fall right to sleep.
@ yeah I wish …. I seem to wake up more when it’s bed time, 😂
Sorry my friend, hope you cstch some zzzzz's tonight.
Bolt is so great in Thailand and I love it. Your comment on technology is spot on. I only do 3 week trips and take enough cash to last me. My card used for emergency (not my commbank card)

Hey mate try '528hz Meditative Mind' for sleep or listen to any Cold Blue Trance set, these do it for me! 😅
Have a joint buddy. That should put u to sleep 😂

I’ll see if there is any in Chiang Mai 😎👌🏽
@@marcoroamsraw awesome mate
Why don’t you stay at girls unit - 3 day rule still works 👍
I did stay 2 nights haha
@@marcoroamsraw 🤣👍🤙
That’s why ya drained ✅
@@AussieantMarco needs build up his fluids again 😂
Getting to sleep is tough!
I think if you’re lying down & not going to sleep, at least your body is resting… I listen to really boring podcasts 😂
I always have a couple drinks to help me sleep. Maybe not the best but I like it
That can't be good for the liver
Dont forget your main channel bro
Should be posting tomorrow 🙏🏽

Two puffs of pot does the trick😊

@marcoroamsraw you ever try live streaming
Focus on breath technique.. learnt from a monk..(to help sleep)😴

What’s the deal with combank wank - have a separate sim and phone for the code crap ( always seperate and use only required just like a passport )?
I can’t man cause as far as I know the number can only be sent to you if you have global roaming on … the SIM card is in my phone but no credit … maybe I need to try this?!
@@marcoroamsrawno worries sleep ok once sorted 😂
Get your mum to send U money via western union in case if emergencies. I had to do that when my wallet was stolen there
You wont get changed to cancel tge ride. It ask you the reasons and you can select unsafe. That's it
Hi daddy ❤
They say if you keep seeing 3’s in your life it’s a sign of prosperity in your future. It’s a good faith Christian number.

Yeah would be a start! I took a half day off yesterday and took a nap for the first time this year 🥳
Ring the bank arond midnight thai time you should get to talk in arond 10 min
Cheers mate! Yeah I need a land line … they keep hanging up,
This was 3 days ago and still can’t contact them
Take some diazapam from chemist and you will sleep real good
Done that heaps lol … but it’s not something I want to rely on
@marcoroamsraw yeah true..have a pull that allways works if I'm struggling

What can you do to avoid this sht - 2 numbers and two phones ?
@ yep! It reset it all … I don’t have roaming, maybe I need to turn it on for a date to get the code
