Glad you are back making videos. You made a great decision getting away from that complete narcissist. Her videos over the last few months show her true colours. Enjoy the freedom
A friend of mine brought his Dad over from Oregon, years ago. Best decision for him. Said his dad loved it. Took great care of him, right up until the end. I agree with you about Pattaya. Like you James, I've lived in several countries and I've never been happier anywhere.
Vlogging again!! YES!! Now people can stop asking me about your a... 😂 but seriously, good to see you're feeling better. By the way, jiujitsu at Veteran's first soon, you better sign up!! :)
James you should have a talk with notime2bsad about care accommodation for your mother he is the most clued up expat on all things Thailand. All the best with your own recovery you will be back to full fitness in no time with your positive attitude.
Great video my friend. I’m retired (9 months now) in Jomtien. my elderly mother, age 82, was miserable living in a nursing home in an outpost in northern Texas. It felt like I was watching her with her away. She was so depressed and lonely. Additionally, though her facility was by no means an inferior place, she stillsuffered an incident of elder abuse there. Like you, I got inspired to check into local senior living. Long story short, I bought her a one-way ticket, business class for the extra comfort, from Dallas, Texas to Bangkok, via Tokyo. She is wheelchair bound, and a fall risk. The airline cruise were great and taking care of her. Now, she resides in a facility called “HOMERLY“ in Northeast Pattaya. It is like she has been reborn! Before now, she would not be able to find on a map. Frankly, she still can’t. All she knows is that her life has been transformed. Congratulations man. Best wishes to you both! Everything you mentioned about your mom‘s facility is the same as hers. The level of respect, constant care, quality of food, and the incredibly, low price, relative to the US, is amazing. She has her own little private villa. Community swimming pool. Garden setting. And again, the amazing, respectful and loving staff. She has once again taken an interest in her appearance. We take her out weekly to various functions in and around pattaya and she visits with you, did you did you finish that for me
Great to see you back in action, James! Good on you taking care of your Mom, Bro! I know that will be a relief for you knowing she is close by and is being taken care of!
YOU GOT A GOOD HEART FOR YOUR MOM........BRO......YOU GOT MY RESPECT........I HOPE YOUR MOM LOVES THAILAND....YOU WILL BE THE 2ND GUY THAT I KNOW MOVING MOM TO THAILAND..........SALUTE.
Cancer taken off my kidney $267,00.00, keytruda infusion about an hour $60,000.00 each time(every 3 weeks)×18, non ICU room $7100.00 a night, CT scan of Abd and pelvis $13,000.00, echo cardiogram $7250.00. My 2 days in Bangkok hospital ER to ICU bed for 2 days $1740.00, 47,000 baht. Coming for a visit in January. Good luck with your mom.
Great to see you back James. I am considering relocating to Thailand after retirement (3 years). I realize that things will change and as a 100% vet, SS, and federal government retirement (28 years), I should be able to enjoy the rest of my life in Thailand. I am also impressed with your condo. Looking forward to seeing more content. Be blessed Brother 🙏🏾
So great to see you back, James! Spreading the positivity and the skinny on Thailand. I am literally locked and loaded for my Thai retirement, sold everything I own, just staying in my empty house in sheer panic trying to sell the goddamn thing. Last piece of the puzzle and the hardest and must stressful one yet.
Great looking condo, and I like the view. I just got pretty lucky and picked up a 2bdrm 78sqm condo at the Urban for 22k and I'm extremely happy with it.
Always enjoy your videos in the US and Thailand i just don't have time for long live streams from any you tubers but you are near the top of people I watch. Mad respect for you taking care of of your mother and wanting to be near her. Bottom line is i like your no nonsense style about life. Take care! Love the video's.
Welcome back ChocMan... dropping gems/nuggets of info about life in Thailand/Pattaya....like the old ChocMan. Mom to Thailand? What a great move! Thx James.
Good to see you again on UA-cam, James. Your apartment looks very fly!! And your finally bringing your Mom over, cool. I also had to have two of those things cut out of my back when I was younger. I've been here for two months and have my retirement visa so I'm getting adjusted. Trying to decide if I need a car. I do want to travel around Thailand. Take it easy.
Just used TSL & Associates, for Visa and Bank Account, very good. And thanks for the update of the nursing home, very nice place for your mom and probably me in the future. . And a very nice Apartment too. Thanks Jimmy.
Glad to see ya back man! Great vid. Hope ya Mom makes it over soon and enjoys Thailand. We are considering it again. But tell me, any hurricanes or typhoons?
We miss you. You look healthy, rested, and full of life. Next, I hope you are ready to resume one-on-one interviews. Also, can a person be placed on the waiting list at the Vet? First client while still in the States? Finally, you're a good man for taking care of your mother; it says a lot about you!
Thanks James. A super informative video. The accommodation for your mom looks great and they cover any situation health wise that may occur. Cheers mate. 👌😊
Oh I can't wait to see how the plans work out for Mom and I hope she has the same sunny disposition as your friend's mom. Will Mom be traveling in the van with you?
Hiya James, Good to hear you got your back sorted. And it wasn't anything bad. I did wonder. Why you had not done many videos. UA-cam takes the piss constantly. Sorry to hear you have Bronchitis. I hope it clears up soon. I have been crap with catching people's live videos lately just had so much on. Looking after inlaws. You're always informative. The place for your mum looks great. Exciting times. Wow. The price is fantastic in the UK. That would cost at least 7/8 grand a month. I bet it is a big relief for you not to worry. All her needs will be met. You're living your best life. Nice place James. Great price for all that space. Love the big bath. Peek-a-boo bathroom. 555. Happy Weekend. I hope you have a good one.
Enjoyed the video and information. This is the content that connects with me and my situation. To each their own 🙏🏼Enlisted personnel wore this uniform when I served many years ago. My boot camp picture.
awesome to see you James, hits home for me my mom is 85 and lives with me so I can take care of her , when she passes I want to move there and my SS will be around 3k per month
It’s good to see ya posting again!! Sorry to hear your Mom needs assisted care. I can imagine it’s sooooo much cheaper in Thailand than back in Washington…here in California it’s anywhere between $4-9k/month
Happy Saturday missed your movies top content as always very true about driving done over 4000 km on that mobility scooter haha dangerous but fun gonna continue watching the video have a mint weekend
Brining Mom to Thailand will be a hit with all your viewers. Your condo, I use to play tennis for years in front of your view. I have owned at Cosy Beach View and would consider moving into your project if they utilize the tennis again.
If you're having trouble with an illness like that increase your vitamin C intake & start taking zinc supplements. I'd recommend some other sure shot natural cures but people prefer pharma chemicals over the good stuff. 😎
Thailand? I could have sworn I was just watching you travail the highways of Arizona a few weeks ago. Or maybe I was just watching an older vid? Anyhow, I've been here for about 2 1/2 weeks now and a week ago I finally decided to get up out of the bed and off the couch (something I became stuck doing back in the states) and start walking and hitting the gym. It was something I wanted to do back in the states but I knew I needed to jump start things away from home. And, since I was planning to come to Pattaya anyway, I knew this would be the place. Something about the place just makes ya feel more alive. Definitely looking forward to following you now that you're back in town. 👍
Good to know you are doing well sir, appreciate the update. Since you offered at the end of the video, as a chocolate man myself, I'm needing a recommendation from you for a barber in Pattaya that is good with the more coarse, curly hair texture of most chocolate men. I'll be traveling through Asia for work for the month of December, and when I touch down in Pattaya for a holiday around week 3, I'm going to be looking like a wolf and need to get that taken care of.
I moved over here in 2011 after I retired. I do miss Costco Trail Mix. Other than that, I don't miss the Pacific Northwet at all. 🙂I'm so happy to be here instead of there.
I got the same thing coughing for 4 weeks not able to sleep hardly it has finally passed. I almost bought an suv last week but with the traffic in Pattaya is just to much l will just keep driving my 🏍 motorcycles as you can get through traffic
Glad you are back making videos. You made a great decision getting away from that complete narcissist. Her videos over the last few months show her true colours. Enjoy the freedom
My son invited me over 2 years ago I live in my own townhouse in Bangkok and I’m 71 You’ll love having her here ❤

Hiya James,
Good to hear you got your back sorted. And it wasn't anything bad.
I did wonder. Why you had not done many videos.
UA-cam takes the piss constantly.
Sorry to hear you have Bronchitis. I hope it clears up soon.
I have been crap with catching people's live videos lately just had so much on. Looking after inlaws.
You're always informative.
The place for your mum looks great.
Exciting times.
Wow. The price is fantastic in the UK. That would cost at least 7/8 grand a month.

You're living your best life.
Nice place James. Great price for all that space.
Love the big bath. Peek-a-boo bathroom. 555.
Happy Weekend. I hope you have a good one.

I like the pad James. I wish your mom well when she relocates to Thailand.
Glad to see you back man 👍👍

The retirement facility stuff is very helpful - been waiting for someone to talk about this

Excellent information as always .. Thanks for the elder care information did not know that was even possible .

first vlog in a long while good video.
Great video ! enjoyed your infor.👍
Happy Saturday missed your movies top content as always very true about driving done over 4000 km on that mobility scooter haha dangerous but fun gonna continue watching the video have a mint weekend
Brining Mom to Thailand will be a hit with all your viewers. Your condo, I use to play tennis for years in front of your view. I have owned at Cosy Beach View and would consider moving into your project if they utilize the tennis again.
Chocolate man you are awesome to watch and yes like to see your new Condo
I really want to see your cost of living video. I think the way you live matches closely to how I want to live.
Get well James!!!
Well done. Great job. Luv the vdo. Mom’s gonna be good …
If you're having trouble with an illness like that increase your vitamin C intake & start taking zinc supplements. I'd recommend some other sure shot natural cures but people prefer pharma chemicals over the good stuff. 😎
Hope you’re feeling better
Come on veteran let’s get these videos poppin again…well done I miss this content from you
I wish i could bring my mother to Thailand! Currently im her full time carer.. My life is in limbo, just want to be back in Thailand !
Wish you could move. There are options.
Thailand? I could have sworn I was just watching you travail the highways of Arizona a few weeks ago. Or maybe I was just watching an older vid?

Together Barbershop has multiple locations in Pattaya , excellent barbers working with every type of hair you can imagine
The window at the bathtub is so you can watch TV in the tub
Every other day for bandage change is good if you don't get it wet.
Long time no see I don't get notifications anymore. I guess you out there just giving out pink umbrellas.😂
Friends in Pattaya used to tell me about a yearly special deal on a full body check up at Pattaya hospital. Do you know anything about this?
Not a special. Available everyday.
Wow, it's been a long time
Hi JC good to see you back again man, where's Fah? My wife misses you feeding the Fah😂
I was wondering about you…glad you’re doing ok ..🫡🫡🫡🫡
Couldn’t agree more, keep the economy going and chill yourself here
ALWAYS IMPRESSED BY YOUR WORK
WALK BY NIGHT ON LOCKDOWN WAS WORTH AN OSCAR
I moved over here in 2011 after I retired. I do miss Costco Trail Mix. Other than that, I don't miss the Pacific Northwet at all. 🙂I'm so happy to be here instead of there.
Thats what's up bro, good deal with your momma good luck.
Not going lie but I missed your vlogs. But hey I understand how things are and I do watch you on Kick. Glad that you found a great place for your mom.
very good James
welcome back
I got the same thing coughing for 4 weeks not able to sleep hardly it has finally passed.
I almost bought an suv last week but with the traffic in Pattaya is just to much l will just keep driving my 🏍 motorcycles as you can get through traffic
Another good one :)
How can i see your latest Kho Samui / Phuket video???
How old are your mother?
Hey James - would you know if Jomtien Hospital accepts FMP? It’s much closer to my condo than BH Pattaya. As always, enjoy your channel!
Bangkok hospital Pattaya is the only branch Im aware of that understands fmp.
Awesome. Get the moms over, I'm trying to do the same. Get the moms here for a visit then have her convince my dad maybe. 😅. Cheers.
Sounds great!
Good job 👍
Thanks 👍
Davinci Resolve … no wonder why the video looks so butter 🧈
Hey watching your significant other drop a deuces is so fun lol!💩
Has Pocari Sweat still reached out to you yet?
Good luck with your mom James
