It’s a shame Ryan that you feel the need to explain yourself to the ignorant few who don’t understand you or how UA-cam works Keep up the good work on your success in Thailand.
Bloody hell, the person who commented on your lifestyle, must have a charmed life when you don't have to leave home to earn some money. Some people travel away every week to earn money for their family. For years too. Sometimes people have to. But in your case, you're home with your family most of the time. It's not like you're taking trips all the time. We understand real life. You do what you have to do and want to do.
Greetings from Florida. I only occasionally watch your videos but love what you do, including the occasional admission that some things get to you. Your humanity truly shines through. Don't lose that vibe, bruh.
Spoken like a true champion 🏆 Ryan, continue to enjoy your journey from the beginning, to be honest I feel like I'm part of the family on the farm...not sure you need to react or explain, any negative comments. Please ignore mate, cheer's Australia 🌏🦘
I love how you stand up for yourself in a kind, articulate manner, never defensive or unkind and always honestly and inspiring to those who follow you and your beautiful family. You are living your life by your own moral code and through your heart as far as I see….keep going Ryan! By the way my son’s name is Ryan as well♥️♥️
Dont worry about what anyone else thinks...you guys know what to expect from each other...and have done very well working together...you will continue... When i get enough...have had it...i go and spend the day with the amish...they have alot of stores ..i just take my time..and enjoy it...when i get done ..i wait for the next time
I think it's good to have some short time away from the family occasionally. It can make you appreciate them even more when you go back (and them appreciate you too). Probably good for the kids as well just to get used to it and not become overly dependent. It would be different if you were gone for months on end. Maybe I'm wrong but I can't see it doing any harm
Ryan. Been watching since day 1!! Not once have I had a bad thought about your adventures. Not once have I not enjoyed your videos!! Keep it up I feel I’m part of your story now!! Thanks Donnie In Arizona
I appreciate your being secure enough to address whatever you want to address. Just banning and blocking seems week to me and I think seeing ourselves through the eyes of others can be beneficial. As for relationships, there is no magic formula, and besides, things change over time as well. We have been together for 26 years and our love continues to grow and evolve, even to this day. Chiang Rai is my neck of the woods, so what are you going to be up to in our little corner of Thailand?
HI Ryan. You know I have been following your channels forever. Let me don my pre-retirement hat as a pychologist-psychotherapist for over 35 years here in Canada. I empathize with your thoughts regarding how some folks may see your glass as half empty and criticize things. I do not share their views at all. I think you're a level-headed humble man who is very family-oriented, proactive in so many ways and with a good sense of how your life is currently unfolding. If you lived up here in Canada with your family we would be good friends and share some experiences. Cheers.
Ryan, you live a life most of us can only dream of. Your love for your family is evident in your vlogs, as is the reciprocated love from Damo and the boys. Yes, you expose your life on UA-cam and there will be detractors but please ignore them, the vast majority of your subscribers and viewers support everything you do. Stay strong brother
So true. Have only followed for a few months, and cannot understand why Ryan on this channel and family on Life in Bamboo channel do not have a million subscribers. The content he provides is better than 90% of other youtubers in Thailand I have seen... My opinion of course.
Thank you for the shout out. I am more than glad to give up one or two bowls of soup and grilled cheese sandwiches that I normally purchase for lunch each day, or more importantly give up several tall glasses of beer or a round of small games of chance gambling at my local clubs to send a small amount to support both your channels each month. Keep the good content coming, in particular your frank honesty and unscripted dialog on The Naked Guru.
You are a top fellow Ryan a great husband top Dad. You have really created something special god knows how anybody can have the cheek to criticize you is beyond belief
You are one of the most down to earth people I've seen on UA-cam . It would be an honor to meet you face to face one day, although I have no plans at this moment to make the trip to Thailand.. keep on being yourself and take care, my friend.
There's one thing, this person's comments has given you the chance to create another 28.05 minutes of quality content.! You have supportive comments which I've enjoyed reading. Keep on doing what you're doing. xx Love to all.
The sad truth is Ryan, is that there are some people who will only be there as long as you have something they need. We rarely lose friends, we just gradually figure out who our real ones are. I used to feel like my side of the story needed to be told to keep the facts right. Now, I don't care what people choose to believe. Just live life as the person you are. It's your life and family, not theirs 🙏
I worked away from home for nearly 50 years Royal and merchant Navy and offshore married 35 years I got no explaining to do to anyone You've done well for the age you are considering the position in life you are now in Keep the vlogs coming love them THANKS 🙏
Like the laid back way you present and your honest representation of how you break down your monthly expenditure. Real Thailand shown through the eyes of someone with a lot of experience. I have been here 20 years now, house in Bangkok and house in Udon Thani. I agree with you in that Thailand is getting expensive. I have given up on a lot of youtubers as they seem to just be churning out videos everyday with uninteresting content. We have a farm in Khon Khaen too at Kao suan gwang so I love your content.
I like your approach to address this giving them the benefit or the doubt that they may not understand. I’d like to hope that also. I get anxiety from negative comments. But I have learnt over time my subscribers stick up for me. I’m. By no means a big UA-camr. But I have the chosen few that support me. I appreciate your honesty. Side note at the end of the day it’s ok to have a break get away and make memories.
Thank you for the good content. Do not stress about negative comments, the rest of us understand you do trips to create content and you give us a great look into living in Thailand. Love your channel
I love your honesty and openness Ryan. I love the content on both channels. Gives me a real insight into the life I plan to live in a few years. And this is life... we need to do things to provide for our family
Hiya Ryan, I really like your channels and have found them very interesting and informative as someone who fell in love with Thailand on my first visit years ago and had many good trips there since. I have one foot out of the Rat Race, escaping the Matrix as you put it 😂 I have took redundancy, and am one step closer to travelling around Thailand full time. That's why I like your content with everyday life, Thai culture and various aspects of Thai life such as prices of land, food, travelling etc. I must have watched about 20 videos and then you said something I did really laugh at - being from Horwich because I'm a Bolton lad too 😂 We have a certain simple charm and can fit in and get on anywhere with anyone - we are just simple Mill-folk lol Keep up the good work, balls to the whingers who are probably just jealous, and say a big hi to Damo, all the family and the little superstar of the vlog, Spiderman Otis lol 😂 He seems such a happy little lad he always makes me laugh and I think looks just like his Mum! I've never written any comment on UA-cam before and I'm not on social media but I wanted to say thanks for all the info, good job and look forward to watching more.
Thanks for being honest! It makes you feel better to get everything out there! And explain! Which will help some people understand but the trolls will still be there! After this you will start to realize who they are! Love the channel!
Great video, thanks for explaining everything. The reality is you could have to go into town everyday and go to work all day, get home late and your family never sees you. I've lived a similar lifestyle as you and find my family gets more of me than if I had to work a corporate job.
Having been married to my Thai wife for nearly 17 years I can say I am sure Damo would make it obvious if she was not happy about your trips. I am sure the break gives her time to her self that she needs also. Love your vids, keep up the good work.
Just back from a month in Scotland catching up with family ,my wife was fine with me going by myself ,some people need to mind there own business ,i like you live in Thailand
Love both your channels mate, blind freddy can see what doing for your future and your families future putting in the hard yards , it doesnt matter what situation your in you might have to leave the ones you love sometimes to make money im a truck driver and i go through the same thing all the time its just a shame you feel you have to explain yourself to people who proberly have nothing better to do than bitch about someone else keep up the good content mate love your work cheers
Ryan you are a wise man and your dedication to your family is obvious. It is also clear that your family is happy with the way you live your lives together and with extended family. I am glad I found both of your channels ! Thank you. 🙏💕🌷
I understand your concerns Ryan and you have your channel to think about that’s great. Mate it’s your life you are doing what you want in life and that is so much more than many people would dream of doing in a lifetime. Keep doing what you are doing it’s beautiful and makes me smile every time I watch them. Don’t focus on the negative people (:
Anyone watching the full vlog, serious subject, shits & giggles with the locals, quick house/land thingy, love how tranquil it still feels. My wife's kids live with grandma, 100KM away, it's just the Thai way. Family is important and me as farang am learning more and more every day. Thank you for your vlogs, its insights and shared experiences.
😆 my Thai wife of 21 years loves to be home in her garden. When you are in a good relationship with mutual goals - trust is awesome. We are visiting Thailand now- Khon Kaen area, I have holiday for 1 month- my wife and kids will stay another month- no worries. I know how good it is for the family- so I “ sacrifice “- miss them after 2-3 days. Never give a reason to distrust, head down , focused on family. My job allows me OT- work late and such, my wife has never once asked where I was. My family commitment has always been obvious and transparent. As you said everything is about the kids. Adults can be selfish. When I started a family I felt relief -life was no longer about “ me”. We are role models for our children.
Huh? On your most recent travels away (holiday with Otis, car camping, Phuket) I seem to recall that you specifically explained why you were not travelling with Damo, incl the fact she was the one who opted out on some of these trips.
sad you have to explain things Ryan... you've got an awesome family unit.. keep on thriving the way you do.. always gonna be judgements.. especially when they don't have the understanding of how you guys roll.. love to you all.. 😘💜🦋🥀☮️
You know what it is great to see that you do take the negative comments on board and that you are addressing it . Just do what you feel is right for you and your family fuck what any one says 💯
as a person that have integrated to Thai society & lived thai style same as you, i totally understand your situation, you are a role model for people that wanna try what u r doing, keep the good job up
You are a great husband and father Ryan!! You don't need to explain yourself to those who don't understand your life, haters will hate. Thank you for sharing your life in rural Thailand....I enjoy all your videos. You have a beautiful family.... Otis will be a heart breaker one day!!! Please keep the videos coming...
I’ve been watching since you were in lockdown and have never once questioned anything you all do together as a family, the love and bond you all have together as a family is to be envied and obviously the most important thing in each other’s lives. You don’t have to explain to any of these narrow minded people your reasons for what you do as they are forming opinions on glimpses. We met you in Pai May 22, heard you playing your saxophone by the river, we will be in Chiang Khan in June 23, funny if we hear you playing your saxophone by the Mekong 😄
Do not change one thing! You are an amazing family doing amazing things. People need to take their negative words and examine their own vibrational inner self. I am personally uplifted by your journey and your wonderful family🥰
it's your life, your choices and you know the best for your family. Yes, the Asian family unit is all uniting and supportive of each one, there is no need to feel all alone and solotary too.
@thenakedguru great explanation of the things you wanted to talk about, including the relationship between Damo and yourself and how it evolved over time. One thing that I have trouble understanding though, is how a relatively young couple don't sleep together at night, as you mentioned in another earlier vlog. Maybe I'm just an old, seriously romantic, intimate guy. To me there's nothing like falling asleep next to my partner 🤷
Good Vlog as although did not have any negative thoughts I did not appreciate that you have the responsibility of the partners so good to understand. Defo enjoy content that shows any learning to live in Thailand. All the best mate
thats nuts, you are out earning for your family & having me time plus Hugos too young to travel until 6 months old when Damo wants him to go. Men go to work everyday & leave their families behind !
You going away for work is completely understandable! What about 1/2 of Western Australia that do FIFO (fly in, fly out) shifts in the mines up north for up to 2 to 3 weeks at a time. It's a career, and necessary to make ends meet. No one would ever question why those people are away from their families for extended periods of time. There's that, and it's NO ONE's business mate. Keep being you champ.
Thanks Ryan, nice to see the neighborhood! When I had corporate job, I regularly took some "Me time", never forgot my family, who went on frequent trips together also. There is something about being on the road alone that is recharging for me. (And lots of other people) The ones who comment negative towards me where usually the ones who "weren't allowed"..... Their spouse didn't trust enough. What probably tells a lot about their relationship 😂😂😂
Hello my friend, just discovered your channel, spent the day going through your back catalogue of videos, thoroughly enjoy your content. Thank you Birmingham UK
Dude, You have almost 70,000 subscribers over 2 channels. You have 9,978,124 views across Life in Bamboo. There are going to be detractors. There are sad, lonely and jealous people who seem to thrive on dishing out callous negativity via their keyboards. You don't have to explain yourself to anyone, let alone those types with a propensity for negativity. I feel empathy for them and their outlook. I feel grateful for you and your channel. I'm working on a way to get back to my wife and family in Thailand and let me tell you, when I am in my darkest moments, almost defeated and I can't see a way to get back, I put your videos on and it instantly revives me. Focus on your supporters, not your detractors. Make the best videos you can for them and realise how many people you have inspired through this channel. Remember how many of those 9,978,124 views have taken positivity away from what you've made 🙏🏻
Hi Ryan, yes, as always I enjoyed your "rant". We, as human beings are all different and our relationship with others are different. Ok, so we have lifestyles that suit us and our families, it would be a boring old world if we were all the same. The older I get, the more tolerant I have become and realise that we are all on this planet for a reason. Your reason may not be mine and mine may not be the same as others, but, if we are true to ourselves and our beliefs and faith and aim to live in peace and harmony with others, the world will become a better place. I love both your channels Ryan, even though our beliefs may not be the same, our overall thoughts and aims coincide in so many ways. God bless you, Damo and the family, always.❤😊🙏
I did not know that you went on trips for You Tube business purposes. I thought you needed a break from living in rural Thailand which is completely understandable. After a winter in Thailand i like to have my own culture for a few months. I perceived that Damo also appreciated the break. I’ve been married for 33 years, and both of us need time away from each other. I like to watch videos from your trips…. You are my go to when I’m doing a jig saw…..and my husband is in another room watching other programs.
I’m sure you are right, people who have been your watching your channel would never entertain that you would “desert” your family. I for one who dose not know you personally but has been watching you for awhile know that your family is the centre of your world.❤
I send you and your family good vibes. Don't let these people bring you down. The things people think they have a right to comment on is unbelievable. Asking a question like that is not innocent, it is not thought provoking, they are just trying to be hurtful, being malicious. I enjoy all your content very much, keep it up, your doing a great job in providing for your family👍!
I imagined a scene from old days, where the Man goes out hunting, conquering, or spiritually working for months and years, and not a single person in the Clan would've said: "There ya go, he left her." You gotta do what you gotta do, she got to do what she got to do, you together are raising a brilliant Clan, all is good! Besides, show me one Really Functional Familia, where there isn't a need for personal space, even, not to mention the business side of things, and all of that. But that is an experience, one should spend in union with another for at least 5 years, in order to really comprehend the Human Bondship. I salute you Chief.
Yeap, you should to have a good on airbnb thingy, but you need a build up a theme on your homestay biz. I will most probable be of of your first guests ya!
Sad lonely people, they need to watch the channel to understand your life and family set up, keep the good work up and try to out these people to the back of your mind, you don`t have to explain yourself ,stay safe.
I can't believe someone would think 2 people should live in each others pockets, especially in this day and age. I work away, always have, never done our family any harm, 22yrs and still love my wife and son whose 20yr old now. Looks like you've had some good rain, still waiting in kanchanaburi for them to start.
To keep a relationship fresh, it's great to be on your own sometimes, I used to travel a lot for my business in Europe and the USA to Asia, I always loved to go and always looked forward to going back home to my Wife and two Kids as well. Whatever somebody makes of it; it's in their head only........
Soon you will hit a pink cloud where you start to feel really good and you don’t know why - it is the editing of the depression from the alcohol - keep going 🙏
@@thefunnypigglets9663 Yup, and feeling massively depressed, not wanting to get out of bed, craving. Depends how much you drank. But the pink cloud cometh.
Sad That you have to explain away yourself about the dynamics of your trips away from your family. 100% your true and honest and give us subs great content Ryan Take care and your family are blessed with your good business sense 🙏
Great little vlog commenting on the comments you sometimes get. They clearly haven't watched all of your vlogs but are straight away showing their arsehole. Oops I meant vent their opinion. Oh well, done and dusted with now. Looking forward to the upcoming vlogs! Your family's Yin and Yang seem quite balanced. There's always Yin in Yang and vice versa.
We are also work at farm same as you are but almost of time ..its mine who working at farm but my frenchman work at my shop (small supermarket )at my hometown...
I find it strange you leave your family to go on these little adventures, but I have become accustomed to it and have learned to except them , glad you took Tis along on your last one
I just want to say, having done expatriation two times, you are an amazing individual. You stuck through the party life and came out the other end a stronger and more sensible person. There isn't even a hint of the bitterness that most expats suffer from. And from what I can tell with you interacting with your neighbors, you are now completely part of the community.
The one constant from my decades long use of UA-cam, and the main reason I’ve always hesitated to start a channel… Moronic UA-cam comments! Great conversation, and those of us who know, know. You’re a super good dude and a better dad/husband. Much love
Not the unusual style of vlog but hope it clears things up 😁🙏🇹🇭

Cheers Robbie 👍👍
Hiya Ryan, I really like your channels and have found them very interesting and informative as someone who fell in love with Thailand on my first visit years ago and had many good trips there since. I have one foot out of the Rat Race, escaping the Matrix as you put it 😂 I have took redundancy, and am one step closer to travelling around Thailand full time.
That's why I like your content with everyday life, Thai culture and various aspects of Thai life such as prices of land, food, travelling etc.
I must have watched about 20 videos and then you said something I did really laugh at - being from Horwich because I'm a Bolton lad too 😂 We have a certain simple charm and can fit in and get on anywhere with anyone - we are just simple Mill-folk lol
Keep up the good work, balls to the whingers who are probably just jealous, and say a big hi to Damo, all the family and the little superstar of the vlog, Spiderman Otis lol 😂 He seems such a happy little lad he always makes me laugh and I think looks just like his Mum!
I've never written any comment on UA-cam before and I'm not on social media but I wanted to say thanks for all the info, good job and look forward to watching more.
Thanks for being honest! It makes you feel better to get everything out there! And explain! Which will help some people understand but the trolls will still be there! After this you will start to realize who they are! Love the channel!

I understand your concerns Ryan and you have your channel to think about that’s great. Mate it’s your life you are doing what you want in life and that is so much more than many people would dream of doing in a lifetime. Keep doing what you are doing it’s beautiful and makes me smile every time I watch them. Don’t focus on the negative people (:
Thank you 🙏🙏
You and your family are living a loving and authentic life. ❤
Anyone watching the full vlog, serious subject, shits & giggles with the locals, quick house/land thingy, love how tranquil it still feels. My wife's kids live with grandma, 100KM away, it's just the Thai way. Family is important and me as farang am learning more and more every day. Thank you for your vlogs, its insights and shared experiences.
😆 my Thai wife of 21 years loves to be home in her garden. When you are in a good relationship with mutual goals - trust is awesome. We are visiting Thailand now- Khon Kaen area, I have holiday for 1 month- my wife and kids will stay another month- no worries. I know how good it is for the family- so I “ sacrifice “- miss them after 2-3 days. Never give a reason to distrust, head down , focused on family. My job allows me OT- work late and such, my wife has never once asked where I was. My family commitment has always been obvious and transparent. As you said everything is about the kids. Adults can be selfish. When I started a family I felt relief -life was no longer about “ me”. We are role models for our children.
Feels good to hear someone being so honest on one's channel. Gives a lot if value for many of us
Huh? On your most recent travels away (holiday with Otis, car camping, Phuket) I seem to recall that you specifically explained why you were not travelling with Damo, incl the fact she was the one who opted out on some of these trips.
sad you have to explain things Ryan... you've got an awesome family unit.. keep on thriving the way you do.. always gonna be judgements.. especially when they don't have the understanding of how you guys roll.. love to you all.. 😘💜🦋🥀☮️
You know what it is great to see that you do take the negative comments on board and that you are addressing it . Just do what you feel is right for you and your family fuck what any one says 💯
Thank you Jacqueline 🙏
as a person that have integrated to Thai society & lived thai style same as you, i totally understand your situation, you are a role model for people that wanna try what u r doing, keep the good job up
You are a great husband and father Ryan!! You don't need to explain yourself to those who don't understand your life, haters will hate. Thank you for sharing your life in rural Thailand....I enjoy all your videos. You have a beautiful family.... Otis will be a heart breaker one day!!! Please keep the videos coming...
I’ve been watching since you were in lockdown and have never once questioned anything you all do together as a family, the love and bond you all have together as a family is to be envied and obviously the most important thing in each other’s lives.
You don’t have to explain to any of these narrow minded people your reasons for what you do as they are forming opinions on glimpses.
We met you in Pai May 22, heard you playing your saxophone by the river, we will be in Chiang Khan in June 23, funny if we hear you playing your saxophone by the Mekong 😄
Thank you Denise - yes I remember - hope you guys are well 🙏🙏🙏
I wouldn’t worry about negative people. I enjoy seeing your life my friend. Thanx.
Thank you!
You and your family are very well grounded. Great to see a family working together. I enjoy your videos.
Do not change one thing! You are an amazing family doing amazing things. People need to take their negative words and examine their own vibrational inner self. I am personally uplifted by your journey and your wonderful family🥰
it's your life, your choices and you know the best for your family. Yes, the Asian family unit is all uniting and supportive of each one, there is no need to feel all alone and solotary too.
@thenakedguru great explanation of the things you wanted to talk about, including the relationship between Damo and yourself and how it evolved over time. One thing that I have trouble understanding though, is how a relatively young couple don't sleep together at night, as you mentioned in another earlier vlog. Maybe I'm just an old, seriously romantic, intimate guy. To me there's nothing like falling asleep next to my partner 🤷
The public can never be understood. Just go shopping and observe people.
Healthy amount of time apart from time to time is doing only good for strong long-term relationship. Always nice to hear your thoughts Ryan!
The negative comments don’t even deserve a reply,,,don’t worry ,keep doing what your doing .
Good Vlog as although did not have any negative thoughts I did not appreciate that you have the responsibility of the partners so good to understand. Defo enjoy content that shows any learning to live in Thailand. All the best mate
Live your life you are a great husband and father.
thats nuts, you are out earning for your family & having me time plus Hugos too young to travel until 6 months old when Damo wants him to go. Men go to work everyday & leave their families behind !
Don't react to negative remarks. They are not worth it.
You going away for work is completely understandable! What about 1/2 of Western Australia that do FIFO (fly in, fly out) shifts in the mines up north for up to 2 to 3 weeks at a time. It's a career, and necessary to make ends meet. No one would ever question why those people are away from their families for extended periods of time. There's that, and it's NO ONE's business mate. Keep being you champ.
Thanks brother 👍🙏
Thanks Ryan, nice to see the neighborhood! When I had corporate job, I regularly took some "Me time", never forgot my family, who went on frequent trips together also. There is something about being on the road alone that is recharging for me. (And lots of other people)
The ones who comment negative towards me where usually the ones who "weren't allowed"..... Their spouse didn't trust enough.
What probably tells a lot about their relationship 😂😂😂
always love listening to your chat...your a very interesting person to listen too.
An air bnb would be great id love to visit
I have been following you for a long time so I know how things are in yourlife, the the trips etc. Love you Damo and the kids and the farm.
Hello my friend, just discovered your channel, spent the day going through your back catalogue of videos, thoroughly enjoy your content. Thank you Birmingham UK
Welcome aboard! You may enjoy the main channel - life in bamboo - link in description 😁🙏
@@thenakedguru Thank you just Subscribed
you seem like a good man and a lucky man, what more could any man possibly ask for?
Off topic question. Do the dirt roads leading to your farm ever become too muddy to travel over?
No it’s always accessible luckily 👍
You are an interesting fellow to listen to. Different. Love the videos
Thank you 👍🙏
I enjoy your videos. No judgment here. I just watch, learn and dream from what you share with us. All the best to you and your family!!!
Dude,
You have almost 70,000 subscribers over 2 channels.
You have 9,978,124 views across Life in Bamboo.
There are going to be detractors.
There are sad, lonely and jealous people who seem to thrive on dishing out callous negativity via their keyboards. You don't have to explain yourself to anyone, let alone those types with a propensity for negativity. I feel empathy for them and their outlook. I feel grateful for you and your channel.
I'm working on a way to get back to my wife and family in Thailand and let me tell you, when I am in my darkest moments, almost defeated and I can't see a way to get back, I put your videos on and it instantly revives me.
Focus on your supporters, not your detractors. Make the best videos you can for them and realise how many people you have inspired through this channel. Remember how many of those 9,978,124 views have taken positivity away from what you've made 🙏🏻
Quite right my friend 👍🙏
Hi Ryan, yes, as always I enjoyed your "rant". We, as human beings are all different and our relationship with others are different. Ok, so we have lifestyles that suit us and our families, it would be a boring old world if we were all the same. The older I get, the more tolerant I have become and realise that we are all on this planet for a reason. Your reason may not be mine and mine may not be the same as others, but, if we are true to ourselves and our beliefs and faith and aim to live in peace and harmony with others, the world will become a better place. I love both your channels Ryan, even though our beliefs may not be the same, our overall thoughts and aims coincide in so many ways. God bless you, Damo and the family, always.❤😊🙏
Vicious looking puppies are following you… lol 😆🐶🐶
I did not know that you went on trips for You Tube business purposes. I thought you needed a break from living in rural Thailand which is completely understandable. After a winter in Thailand i like to have my own culture for a few months. I perceived that Damo also appreciated the break. I’ve been married for 33 years, and both of us need time away from each other. I like to watch videos from your trips…. You are my go to when I’m doing a jig saw…..and my husband is in another room watching other programs.
I’m sure you are right, people who have been your watching your channel would never entertain that you would “desert” your family. I for one who dose not know you personally but has been watching you for awhile know that your family is the centre of your world.❤
Much respect for you and your family. Keep up the hard and good work. Greets from the Netherlands/Petchaburi
I send you and your family good vibes. Don't let these people bring you down. The things people think they have a right to comment on is unbelievable. Asking a question like that is not innocent, it is not thought provoking, they are just trying to be hurtful, being malicious. I enjoy all your content very much, keep it up, your doing a great job in providing for your family👍!
Cheers my friend 👍🙏
I imagined a scene from old days, where the Man goes out hunting, conquering, or spiritually working for months and years, and not a single person in the Clan would've said: "There ya go, he left her."
You gotta do what you gotta do, she got to do what she got to do, you together are raising a brilliant Clan, all is good!
Besides, show me one Really Functional Familia, where there isn't a need for personal space, even, not to mention the business side of things, and all of that.
But that is an experience, one should spend in union with another for at least 5 years, in order to really comprehend the Human Bondship.
I salute you Chief.
You are living the dream, providing for your family, respect to you
Yeap, you should to have a good on airbnb thingy, but you need a build up a theme on your homestay biz. I will most probable be of of your first guests ya!
Coming soon!
@@thenakedguru Great!
You're a diamond mate likewise you and your family. Don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise.
You're very wise 👌
Great video Ryan 2 thumbs up my friend!!!! Cant wait till the next video.
Cheers Samuel 🙏🙏
Much blessing to you and family,love your vlogs.
Sad lonely people, they need to watch the channel to understand your life and family set up, keep the good work up and try to out these people to the back of your mind, you don`t have to explain yourself ,stay safe.
I can't believe someone would think 2 people should live in each others pockets, especially in this day and age. I work away, always have, never done our family any harm, 22yrs and still love my wife and son whose 20yr old now. Looks like you've had some good rain, still waiting in kanchanaburi for them to start.
Appreciate the transparency.
I enjoyed the walkabout of the local neighbourhood :)
Cheers Gareth
To keep a relationship fresh, it's great to be on your own sometimes, I used to travel a lot for my business in Europe and the USA to Asia, I always loved to go and always looked forward to going back home to my Wife and two Kids as well.
Whatever somebody makes of it; it's in their head only........
Hi ryan, im on day 4 getting sober. Your really helping me and its hard, thankyou
Soon you will hit a pink cloud where you start to feel really good and you don’t know why - it is the editing of the depression from the alcohol - keep going 🙏
Hi Ryan, thanks for the reply😊 is extreme fatigue normal on day 4
@@thefunnypigglets9663 Yup, and feeling massively depressed, not wanting to get out of bed, craving. Depends how much you drank. But the pink cloud cometh.
omg what comments would i be getting ,,i do 6 months overseas work and 6 months at home with family
I'm always suspicious of people who are always over happy. It makes me wonder what is really going on in there minds
Sad That you have to explain away yourself about the dynamics of your trips away from your family. 100% your true and honest and give us subs great content Ryan
Take care and your family are blessed with your good business sense 🙏
Great little vlog commenting on the comments you sometimes get. They clearly haven't watched all of your vlogs but are straight away showing their arsehole. Oops I meant vent their opinion. Oh well, done and dusted with now. Looking forward to the upcoming vlogs! Your family's Yin and Yang seem quite balanced. There's always Yin in Yang and vice versa.
My husband staying at home everday for 8 years already until now and he never leave me...😊
He doesn't go to work?
We are also work at farm same as you are but almost of time ..its mine who working at farm but my frenchman work at my shop (small supermarket )at my hometown...
very intersting and engaging. Still enjoying your content. Great ethos
I watch for your life insights and imagination. Lovely family and farm life thank you
Love your content whether it's from your home or not - it's a shame that you get negative BS like though - you and your family have a beautiful life ❤
I find it strange you leave your family to go on these little adventures, but I have become accustomed to it and have learned to except them , glad you took Tis along on your last one
The majority of people on the planet temporarily leave their family for economic reasons of course 👍
@@thenakedguru even the people with normal 9to5 have to leave the family everyday
I just want to say, having done expatriation two times, you are an amazing individual. You stuck through the party life and came out the other end a stronger and more sensible person. There isn't even a hint of the bitterness that most expats suffer from. And from what I can tell with you interacting with your neighbors, you are now completely part of the community.
Thank you 🙏
The one constant from my decades long use of UA-cam, and the main reason I’ve always hesitated to start a channel… Moronic UA-cam comments! Great conversation, and those of us who know, know. You’re a super good dude and a better dad/husband. Much love
Cheers 👍😁🙏🇹🇭
