    Next time you're in Hua Hin you need to eat at Ken's Kitchen. Ken is an award winning chef cooking 5 stars meals for very affordable prices. The best meals I've had in Hua Hin or possibly in all of Thailand were in Ken's Kitchen

    As a Dad of a daughter, your beach segment was so touching and on point. You know I had to break out a tissue or two. They grow and go so quickly. Little cameos after, but great memories and moments still. Thanks for that.
    Definitely want to know more about Davy and how he managed to put his lifestyle together so young. That house is amazing and so tastefully furnished. What is their power source … who designed it … how did they come to farming … is he a biologist?
    Amazing guy … cool ass understated style with a beautiful wife. Please do that vid. Stay safe. Hope to meet you in person soon. You’re a treasure Brother … a little strange, but absolutely authentic! Peace out from Los Angeles …✌🏽

    Hey Chris, I’ve been watching tons of your videos and really appreciate your work! It really helped us put together a travel itinerary for Thailand.
    I would love your input on renting a car from Bangkok to Koh Samui or Phuket. We can’t decide which island! Also, is there any car rental company that allows one-way drop off on those islands?
    Love your videos and we been watching on stop! Also, we’re planning to download and support your app!!

    Hi Chris. I stumbled upon your channel a couple of months ago and I’m really enjoying the variety of subjects. I’ve been to Bangkok several times and never really discovered the gems that you have shown. Back then (2019 and before) I was reasonably fit and mobile but since last year my health and mobility have been severely affected. I would really appreciate if you might address disability access and similar issues in a future video.

Excellent Thai iced tea near the entrance! Next trip try Rocky Point Resort for some peace and quiet. Cheers!
