Your travel plans for 2024 sound amazing. Oh for the plastic chairs, I recommend doubling them up. That's what I have to do for those chairs but I especially do with the stools. You weigh 100kg, that is great man. Not fat at all.
Hey Serg ! Two weeks no see. Best wish for your whole 2024. Beautiful day after new year day. People aren't all back from the upcountry. It's quiet Bangkok but it's more relaxing than ever.
You and me definitely pom poi nig noi.. :) Just left a rather large comment on a video you posted 6 months ago (motor bike question) however I'm compelled to post again.. The misses and I are relocating permanently to Surat Thani in October..Building a large workshop to fix and school the locals on self maintenance for scooters and big bikes and to build some cars Thai style :) etc.. Still in Brisbane Queensland Australia until then... Welcome to visit anytime mate :) Or when your touring back in Thailand... Keep up the great videos bloke :)
1:08 Thurs Jan 4th 2024 Happy New Year and Happy Chinese New Year of the Dragon 🐉 🐲. From Gilbert Arizona USA. I'm so glad you enjoyed your next time off and are going to explore more of Thailand this year. These are going to produce some really wonderful videos. I can't wait to see them. Have Healthy Blessings and Happy Adventures during 2024 ❤ 16:13
I have never seen a high-rise/temple integration like that. It looks incredible. Nice slogan in English too "Patience is the cause of freedom from suffering". Oh as I typed this, I realized they spelled suffering wrong but it gets the point across. I love when you explore truly less traveled areas like this.
Getting lost make the best videos because no one else goes where you go in Thailand and Bangkok keep up the great work happy New Year where we go when we go all this is going to be a crazy year so get ready!!!
A beautiful day with Serg 🎉😂 Happy New Year 2024 and a nice depict of your travel plan for the rest of the year...Japan recent earthquake should be cautious...interesting daily vblog...be safe...thanks Serg for sharing your journey with us 🎉😂
Yes, it’s so sad about Japan. I was just actually showing a Thai friend of mine footage from the 20/11 tsunami the day before this other earthquake in Japan. Happy new year to you as well.
Heart of a Thai lover You make foreigners from many countries know Thailand from many angles. You have a positive attitude towards our country. Your channel is about to gain more subscribers with confidence. Making your channel interesting is your challenge.
I did know that I am addicted to your videos until I noticed that I was worried about you because there was no posting made for a couple of weeks, I am glad you are ok, you are amazing person. Take care and thank you 🙏🏼. Happy new year 🥳
@@LifewithSerg your videos are really impressive. Most of you tuber showing food, but your materials are showing landmarks, events, lookouts, destinations and many more things; regardless even if this is your lifestyle, sometimes you are risking yourself to please your followers, and as you say at the end of each episode, PLEASE DONT FORGET TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF 😉
New Zealand is a really good place to visit because of the variety of landscape excellent for youtubers. You can rent a motorbike and travel the whole country in 2 weeks and it's only to 3 hours from Australia.
I’ve got a lot of plans for the year, we’ll see which of them actually work out. I don’t worry about it too much. Some things will work out, and some won’t.
Best wish for your 2024! Looking forward for more great content from you! Notice that you plan to go to Isaan so I recommend you to, instead of go to Khon Kaen via Mittraphap road, ride north from Saraburi to spend a night in Petchabun. Then go to Khon Kaen through Nam Nao National Park. I think you will enjoy the road and scenic!
That is part of my plan. Then again, if you watched enough of my videos, you know that I don’t really plan things well. I’ll just hit the road and decide what it looks good on the way.
In our culture, the Buddhist temples are the center of everything Therefore the school is part of the temple Next time when you are revisiting the temple I would recommend you to go up to the Ubosot aka Bot ( Ordination hall ) it’s beautiful The monk that you saw on the billboard was the abbot He had passed away probably two years ago His holiness was very famous and went to the monk hood since he was very young He was one of the pioneer who brought the Buddhism to the west His holiness was also resided in Canada at the Thai temple there.
Thank you for all that information. I’m pretty sure the ordination hall was closed because they were working on it. If I ever go back there, I will definitely go and check it out.
The Dhammamogkol temple you just visit.. has the biggest 32 tons jade buddha... I think you need to revisit. and if you wait til the evening you'll find yourself in the expat community loads of foreigners in this 101 soi.
สวัสดีครับ Mr Serg I support you to explore explore and explore more around South East Asia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China and Australia plus Newzealand. I will keep hitting the like button for these explorations for you.
Serge, I just ate at that restaurant you ate at. I actually had virtually the identical food you ordered. The lady showed me this video and I told her " chai". I hope you get some royalties!
Happy New Year Serg all the very best for 2024, looking forward to more content from you and when you get to Australia I live in Queensland which is sub tropical and a very large State but most people tend to visit Sidney hope you enjoy your travels
Happy New Year, Serg. I look forward to your videos about Japan trip. If you come to Tokyo and need any help, I can support and guide you around Tokyo👍
Happy New Year Serg! How exciting you’re coming to Australia yay! I live south of Brisbane amongst the 🦘 kangaroos 🦘🦘 and other wildlife 😂would love to show you around Brisbane if you want a tour guide and sushi dinner buddy. I’m in Jimboomba 😊 living the rural life before I move to BKK probably in the next 1-2 years time to retire. Just finalising stuff in the meantime. Have a wonderful year mate.
As someone who enjoys architecture as well, you will really love Japan, highly, highly recommend Kyoto as your first trip instead of Tokyo, you can fly into Osaka (kansai airport) , great food city and then Kyoto is less than an hour by taxi or go by train even quicker
Yeah, we’ll see what happens. That’s my plan so far. I haven’t made any arrangements, or booked anything yet, which no one should be surprised. Lol. Happy new year!
great video mate. I was in Bkk in November / December, love the place. If you drop the carbs mate the eight will fall off you. Keep the vlogs coming mate
Thank you for your support. And that is absolutely what I need to do is drop the cards. I’m trying to change how I eat. I don’t want to just diet because I know how those things always end up.
@@LifewithSergit is difficult in Thailand because Rice is a staple there but you can do it as a normal part of eating, don't look at it like a diet. I was training in Jetts gym opposite T21 when I was there, what a gym... I use Jetts here in Australia but that gym is something special. Its good you are looking at the different parts of BKK too, I didn't know half the stuff you video, but they are good
Serg, you will love Japan, i have visited many times, and love it. Have you explored the Samrong area, and Wat Dan Temple. Its a very interesting area with Chinese markets, and i didnt see any tourists when i visited 2 weeks ago. All the best.
Looking forward to this year's vlogs. I enjoy your little neighborhood wanderings. Good luck with your weight loss program, cutting down on sugars and snacks is a great start though it takes a while for the yearnings to stop, well, they never stop, just subside a bit. Two burning questions for you: where does all the money come from for all the Wats and how the heck to 7/11 workers listen to those door chimes all day long without going round the bend? Cheers and best wishes for the new year.
Yeah, I’m definitely trying my best to get in shape. I’ve had a less than healthy relationship with food most of my life.lol. The temples get most of their money from donations. I think every single type person goes to temple and they always donate. They also have wealthy benefactors. The communities typically pitch in as well. So the most beautiful temples I’ve seen were in small little towns. It always shocked me how they were able to afford to build such beautiful temples. Ask for the 7-Eleven dingdong sound. Don’t tell anyone, but sometimes I superimpose that sound. It is very rare to hear it, especially that loud in most of the 7-Elevens. It’s usually very quiet. The “hello welcome” part is a rare these days and almost completely nonexistent in Thailand.
I'd like to see you make a trip to the famous Phukradeung (giant flattop mountain in Loei province). It's gonna be so cool; I'm sure you'll like it there. 😊
Just got back from visiting Thailand! What an interesting place. The people are so nice! Japan is on my list too. Question for Serg, are you taking any Thai classes? Based on my experience it seems like learning the language would be desirable for a long term stay.
Wiharn is the secondary important building below the church in Wat. Your donation is using for paid water and electricity bills. BTW, Happy New Year 2024 sir.
@@LifewithSerg looking forward to watching I was watching as i was going to book with a tour company and do that very ride But you gave me yhe confidence to visit and do it on my own Im 1 month away from retiring ,im now thinking of coming out buying the 350 honda you mentioned staying for a yr and touring the country Thanks for the insperation my friend
Hi Serg, Just saw your IG. I guess you were wondering why there are Dinosaurs at the mall. This year, "Children's Day" in Thailand is on Saturday January 13th, 2024. That's why you'll see many attractions at many shopping malls and other places geared towards children. Many people also like to donate toys to those less fortunate children on this special occasion. 👍👍👍

Yah those chairs are made for 60kg people. Lol
Best wishes for 2024 Serg 🙏
Thank you so much. Same to you.
Hey Serg ! Two weeks no see. Best wish for your whole 2024.
Beautiful day after new year day. People aren't all back from the upcountry. It's quiet Bangkok but it's more relaxing than ever.
Yeah, I just decided to just be lazy for two weeks. Lol. It’s still pretty quiet here in Bangkok you’re correct.
You and me definitely pom poi nig noi.. :) Just left a rather large comment on a video you posted 6 months ago (motor bike question) however I'm compelled to post again..

That sounds like a place I would definitely want to visit. Keep me posted!
5:40 The donation is for the electrical, water bill, and monk debt (such as education for kids, feeding the dog and cat, etc.)
Ah ok. Good to know. Thanks!
The dumplings look like Shumai which have grounded prawns and pork. Look delicious, Happy New Year!
Yes pork Shumai. No shrimp. Happy new year.
Ungrounded prawns are just too flighty
Thumbs up 👍 Serge
Thanks for the visit as always.
It's so exciting to hear your plans this year 🎉
Hopefully half of them will work out. I haven’t made any commitments yet, this is just what I’m thinking of doing.
This is the best vlog I've ever seen thank you very much 👍
Aww thanks!
You're welcome
@LifewithSerg❤
Hahaha that lady that kept feeding you was so amazing! Such a sweet lady. This is why we have such a hard time leaving this place.

That was such a cool temple.

What about the gangs
And a happy 2567 to you!

Thank you so much. I hope 2024 is a healthy and happy year for you.
In our culture, the Buddhist temples are the center of everything
Therefore the school is part of the temple
Next time when you are revisiting the temple
I would recommend you to go up to the Ubosot aka Bot ( Ordination hall ) it’s beautiful
The monk that you saw on the billboard was the abbot
He had passed away probably two years ago
His holiness was very famous and went to the monk hood since he was very young
He was one of the pioneer who brought the Buddhism to the west
His holiness was also resided in Canada at the Thai temple there.
Thank you for all that information. I’m pretty sure the ordination hall was closed because they were working on it. If I ever go back there, I will definitely go and check it out.
@@LifewithSerg They’re under construction all the time Serg 😂 just go up.
Hi Serg I was in Bangkok recently and I was secretly hoping to bump into you 😅 loved your channel and yeah have a great year ahead!
I hope you had a great trip here. May 2024 bring nothing but health and happiness for you.
another great video, this is the type of neighborhood I would want to live in, quiet and peaceful.
It was such a lovely neighborhood. I really enjoyed it.
Happy New Year Serge !!!
You too!
HNY Mr Serg!
You as well!
Happy New Year n All d best Serg to yr travelling plan for 2024 stay safe healthy always cheers 🍻 👏 ✌️
Hope you have a wonderful year as well.
Happy New Year Serg!
Happy new year to you as well!
The Dhammamogkol temple you just visit.. has the biggest 32 tons jade buddha... I think you need to revisit. and if you wait til the evening you'll find yourself in the expat community loads of foreigners in this 101 soi.
They were working on a lot of things so I didn’t want to go into the big building. I’m assuming that’s where the big Jade Buddha is
Welcome back Serg
Thank you!
I'll be in Osaka in March, if you decide you want to come visit Japan during the spring. You definitely got a good tan going there!
That’s actually right around when I’m thinking of possibly going. Not sure yet. And yet, I don’t want to tan, but I am definitely a little darker.
@@LifewithSerg Would be good to see you again and we'd be happy to show you around Osaka if visit.
U did good, ty
Thanks for watching.
Happy New Year
Same to you!
When you come to Australia, I'd recommend the great Ocean road in Victoria.
Great thanks!
Happy New Year Serg. Hope to be back in Thailand sometime this year. Currently traveling in South America.
Enjoy your time in South America!
สวัสดีครับ Mr Serg I support you to explore explore and explore more around South East Asia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China and Australia plus Newzealand. I will keep hitting the like button for these explorations for you.
Happy to hear that.
Serge, I just ate at that restaurant you ate at. I actually had virtually the identical food you ordered. The lady showed me this video and I told her " chai". I hope you get some royalties!
Aw that’s awesome. She was very nice. It’s a cool little place.
She was very nice, and the food was really good! A common theme in Thailand.
Wow there is clean enviroment
Yes, thanks for watching.
I’m in Bangkok next month before flying north for a motorcycle trip. Love your videos if you fancy meeting up for a drink/ food.
Hope you have a wonderful time! I will be away most of February.
Happy New Year 2024 Serg. Wish you all have a great time and good health. 🎉🎊🎊🥰🙏🇹🇭
Thank you very much, same to you
Happy New Year Serg all the very best for 2024, looking forward to more content from you and when you get to Australia I live in Queensland which is sub tropical and a very large State but most people tend to visit Sidney hope you enjoy your travels
Do, you know me, I’ll probably go to the places in Australia where no one visits. Lol happy new year and all the best to you as well.
Good to see you back Serg and ditto everyone else regards best wishes for 2024, I also sincerely hope that DJI were listening 😉
Ha ha. Thanks Mark! It’s good to be back.
Keep up the good work 🎥
Thanks!
Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉
Same to you
Happy new year.
You as well!
Great Episod, always like to see something else then Asoke 👍
I know what you’re saying! One of my plans this year is to go explore some of the places that are less convenient to get to in Bangkok.
I like to see you in JAPAN this year.
Me too!
Ah, Khun Serg is throwing in some wicked music 👍👍👍
Happy New Year, Serg . 🎉
Happy new year Phillip!
Wishing you the best and happiness.Happy New Year 2024 Serg....
Thank you so much. Same to you.
Happy New Year, Serg.
I look forward to your videos about Japan trip.
If you come to Tokyo and need any help, I can support and guide you around Tokyo👍
That is so very kind of you. I really appreciate the offer.
Happy New Year Serg! How exciting you’re coming to Australia yay!

Happy New Year Serg, you look so cool in this t-shirt 🎉
Happy new year. Love this vintage Pepsi shirt.
@LifewithSerg super cool, btw did you see the biggest jade Buddha in the world at that Wat ? it's upstair.

Oh that sounds great! Thanks for the tips.
🎉hello serg-happy new year

Happy new year Serg . Looking forward to you seeing your plans for this year Japan will be amazing 👌👌
Yeah, we’ll see what happens. That’s my plan so far. I haven’t made any arrangements, or booked anything yet, which no one should be surprised. Lol. Happy new year!
It's a rainy season in southern Thailand at this time. Some parts are flooded. Please check the weather and make sure it's safe to go.
Thank you for the reminder. I am not going anywhere yet.
Walking 🚶♀️ by canals @ sometimes getting lost 😅are good
Oh yes. Love it.
@@LifewithSerg me too. I’m often on the bus 🚌 network then just get off & explore.. & the BTS lines .. I’m doing ok. Been here 10 months now.
@jonhobson3592 awesome. Best way to explore. I need to try the bus. Download via us app. It has all routes and info. Real time tracking.
@@LifewithSerg yes I use it. 🙏
@@LifewithSerg must explore boats more on river & canals
great video mate. I was in Bkk in November / December, love the place. If you drop the carbs mate the eight will fall off you. Keep the vlogs coming mate

Thank you very much for the tip!
Wish you luck in your travels in 2024 if you ever decide to visit Jordan we b here. 😊
That’s right. Forgot you live in Jordan.
Serg, you will love Japan, i have visited many times, and love it.
Have you explored the Samrong area, and Wat Dan Temple. Its a very interesting area with Chinese markets, and i didnt see any tourists when i visited 2 weeks ago. All the best.
Yes, I’ve made several videos in that area. It’s a nice area to go, because there are very few tourists there.
love it
Thanks for watching!
My heart goes out for Japan. Too many unfortunate incidents happened there.
You are so right. I didn’t even think of that when I recorded this episode. It is very unfortunate.
Happy new year mate, if you are in Brisbane I'll shout you a coffee.
I appreciate it!

I plan to do that!

Oh great idea.
And you should eat more vegetables 😄
Happy new year
I definitely should.
If you do Oz...Do not miss Tasmania. The Flora and Fauna is unreal
I’m looking forward to whatever it may bring
Which bar they work in?
@@LifewithSerg Happy to give you a bit of a tour around parts of Tasmania if locations and timings align.
Just got back from visiting Thailand! What an interesting place. The people are so nice! Japan is on my list too. Question for Serg, are you taking any Thai classes? Based on my experience it seems like learning the language would be desirable for a long term stay.
I have not taken any classes. I really need to. I’ve been here for almost 2 years and my Thai is definitely lacking.
Wiharn is the secondary important building below the church in Wat. Your donation is using for paid water and electricity bills. BTW, Happy New Year 2024 sir.
Thanks for the explanation! Hope you have a wonderful 2024 as well
I came to watch your motorcycle trips ended up watching different videos for 8 hrs
Ha ha. Man, I know that experience all too well! I’m glad you enjoyed my goofy videos. More to come.
@@LifewithSerg looking forward to watching
I was watching as i was going to book with a tour company and do that very ride
But you gave me yhe confidence to visit and do it on my own
Im 1 month away from retiring ,im now thinking of coming out buying the 350 honda you mentioned staying for a yr and touring the country
Thanks for the insperation my friend
Come to Oz Serg, shoot some vids along Bondi beach and Manly 👍
Yes, that is another country I would like to visit. Especially if I go to Australia, I feel like I might as well visit both due to the proximity.
I think you must Build your own custom car like chard CBmedia cream pie mbw m3e30 v8 that absolutely cool if you rent the house.
I would love to have a fun car here. I will probably consider something like that towards the end of this year.
Hi Serg, Just saw your IG. I guess you were wondering why there are Dinosaurs at the mall. This year, "Children's Day" in Thailand is on Saturday January 13th, 2024. That's why you'll see many attractions at many shopping malls and other places geared towards children. Many people also like to donate toys to those less fortunate children on this special occasion. 👍👍👍
Aha! Thank you very much for clarifying that.
Interesting, I saw a Dinosaur event going on at Fortune Town mid October as well!
