    Hey Richard, another great video mate. I was in Jomtien for a month a little over 12 months ago and caught the Baht bus down to the big crab to check out that seafood restaurant too. I loved my time in Jomtien and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your vid's so keep them coming mate, you're doing a great job 👍

    Great video thanks Richard and Karen, we get so excited every time we see a new one up.
    I’m intrigued how you handle the humidity. It’s a lot of years since we’ve been to Jomtien or Hua Hin. Some say it’s miserably humid but many don’t say anything. It’s a big issue for me and I’m intrigued as to how you feel about it. Cheers Debby
