"I'm really glad to see that you, Maybelle, and Macie made it through the rainstorm and flooding safely. I'm so sorry to hear about the deaths and the destruction that affected so many lives. Let me know when you plan to come out to Surin Beach."🏖
Condolences to all those in phuket. That is a tragic loss. Stay safe, Richie, Maybelle, and Gracie and everyone else.
I am in phuket no floods its the rainy season not seen anything its the rainy season 😂
I’m pleased you popped on, as just watched Tim newton’s live, showing the news with a map of your area, was so worried about you , Maybelle & baby. So sorry for the devastation and loss of lives.
Take care guys. Great to see your all well and thriving.
I was in kata with my thai girlfriend 2 weeks ago, my heart goes out to the people who have lost their lives, the Thai people are resilient and will rebuild ❤❤❤
I'm glad to hear you and the family are OK. It's such a tragic loss of life. My thoughts and prayers to all those affected .
Thank you both for the update . Glad you are safe.
Thank you for the update, Richie, despite the devastating news about the Phuket landslide. Condolences to the Burmese, Russian and Thai families who lost loved ones. Phuket will quickly recover. Landslides aside, Phuket's #1 drawback as a tourist destination are the horrendous traffic jams around the island. No thank you. The island has become overpopulated, but understand everyone is striving to make a living from this worn-out, over-commercialized tourist mecca. Just say'in.
Glad to know that you guys are fine in Phuket! The view from the Big Buddha is still beautiful in our opinion….Thanks for keeping us updated and take care & be well😊
Sending prayers for all involved… puts all the other stuff into perspective… stay strong Thailand
Happy to hear that your family was not affected by the flooding but I felt sad about many people dies because the over construction/destruction from Phuket is the Reason that the Nature can’t keep the water…
Good morning Richie I was wondering how you guys were doing and about the coffee garden 🙏 so happy to see your ok 👍🏻 condolences for the families effected and those who lost their lives 🙏 take care always
Happy to hear you, Maybelle, and Gracie are safe. My condolences to those who have suffered loss of life and property damage. Stay safe my friend. Mitch 🙏
Take care Richie and Mabel, look forward to seeing the clear up. All the best 😊
I'm coming to see you and Maybelle in two weeks' time. After following you a long time, I look forward to seeing you guys ❤
Thank you for the update and the nice work arround !!!
Glad to hear you guys are ok. Really tragic about the slide. Take care of yourself. ❤
Thank you, Richie, for the new in Phuket! See you soon
Mother Nature is a powerful force. Stay safe!
Hard to believe we were just staying at the Beyond Kata last week. So glad to see you guys are ok and no harm. Stay safe ❤
Glad to see that you guys are ok and no significant damage to the coffee shop or where you live. As they say, "never underestimate the power of mother nature".
Lovely thoughts you expressed mate
Best of luck
I'm glad you and your family are safe Richie.
You have handled this disaster extremely well! Good for you, all of Mother Nature’s gifts are not always a great!
Stay safe guy's 🙏🙏. I've been up there working on the slip site today. It's a bad scene
Wow I fly in on the Third of September. Looks like I might get a bit wet . Oh well I'll just have to sit in a bar somewhere.
Condolences to those who lost their lives. My wife and I visit Phuket , Karon beach area often and we hope that our friends are safe.
I just discovered your youtube channel, thanks for the updates.
Glad you are all safe and condolences to all those lives lost. 😢
I remember you own the cafe , I was living close to it at Kata ocean view , hope you guys didn’t suffer any damage
Glad to hear you guys are all okay, condolences to the families of the victims.
Hi,Richie,Maybelle.
So sorry to hear of the bad news about the 10 people who have lost thier lives due to the recent landslide.They are in our thoughts and,prayer's , and,also for the families and,friends grieving for them.Glad to see that you and,your family are safe and,well.Wow yeh big Buddha is definitely a must, next time I come to visit Phuket ,to see the beautifull sunrise.Thanyou so much for sharing with us Richie and,look forward to the next one.😊🙏🙏kop kun Kap.
This is terrible. I remember the server flooding in Phuket Town as well back in 2022. I suspect these incidences might only increase in the future.
Shocked to see the landslide damage it has caused. The rebuilding process will take time. We are visiting Phuket again in Feb 2025 and Maybelle's is on our to do again. Looking forward to being there again!
Should be drainage behind the wall, screenings- ag pipes ect.....
Absolutely devastating. Kata is one of my favorite areas. Stay safe 🙏😔
Good report Richie. I’m back in the States now as you know, and we got hit hard in our bungalows behind the Palmer’s Resort. I’m thankful that I decided to park my car up by the airport. Take care, and I’ll see you in October.
Glad you're okay. Greetings from Belarus from your former tenants!
We were worried about you guys good to see you are all ok, was there in June ran into you on the beach, keep safe.
Cor, lucky you're on the other side of the hill. Crazy.
Happy to learn you maybelle n macie ok, sad to learn of disaster
Best wishes for all the people in your community.
Such a tragedy! Stay safe!! 🥺❤️🩹
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ❤
nice you are safe
Good informative video. Condolences to the family of those who lost their lives.
Phuket is being over developed without proper infra.
On the wall which fell, better check the house support structure didn't crack. These retaining walls should have drainage holes for water flow especially when you are next to high ground.
Stay safe to you and family. Weather is a bit crazy. I'm from Kuala Lumpur and every evening except today (Sat) has been raining heavily.
A woman fell into a sink hole and washed away yesterday because of heavy downpour. Body has yet to be found. 😢
Hope people they got safe
I’m supposed to be heading there next week 😢
I’m not sure if I should cancel my visit now. Any advice would be welcome.
My thoughts with all. God bless was there in June amazing beautiful resorts karon and kata. Hope all gets back to normal soon.
Foundations are too thin. Stilited houses are not really the best to live in. Thanks for the update
Thanks for the video I was thinking of you over night
Is it safe to travel to Phuket at the moment? We are travelling tonight and we are worried after watching the videos
We take it for granted that we can build where we want, then nature comes and shows us what for. It's sad when lives are taken. A similar tragedy in Thredbo NSW in 1997.
My heart brakes, my lovely Kata, been there every year and be back in January 25
Stay safe everyone..
Why I never go in rainy season
The weather is getting terrible and terrible 😢.
OH NO !
Very sad news to see such loss of life 😢
Mother Nature certainly tests us in many ways. I am always a little surprised at the building processes in countries where tropical rain storms are regularly occurring. Water erosion cannot be underestimated especially where mountains and beaches are in close proximity. What is that story about building on sand or rock 🤔🤔🤔
Glad to hear you and the family are all ok .Ritchie don’t stop with your views on world events .I totally agree with the shit show in the uk at the moment and as an expat I could see this coming for years.Keep safe .
Happens in many places in Thailand every rainy season, the tragedy is loss of life, but if you choose to live in areas, like mountains, got to expect it at sometime I'm afraid.
omg so bad 😓😓
Really sad but this is a result of greed and terrible planning - keep cutting down trees to build and this always happens
True. The trees are very important the roots help keep slopes intact
Blessings
We live in cape yamu not alot of rain yet??
I'm about to leave for Kata on the 8th sep. We are staying at Kata palm. Is it dangerous to go or will we be ok
You will be fine.
car park at the end of kata beach?
indeed a tragic course of events....be prepared as they say...get that 'to-go' emergency box ready to grab and go in case of disaster...
My goodness 😔
Take care
Was the chip shop OK?
A massive hole in the ground and they are sweeping up leaves ... LOL's ........ Also, it was lucky that wall didn't take out the support column for that house.
Yes wall should have drain holes in it.
5:45 bugger of ya mankees lol
my sentiments exactly
People often blame God or Mother Nature for their mistakes! The problem with most walls is poor or non-existent foundations. Weep holes are used in properly engineered walls. The problem is when people live (or can't) outside the walls.
Good blog Richie ❤
Good video but ive no idea why you're apologising for some of your previous videos about politics or the UK as they're some of your best videos with the highest amount of views?
Just because some permanently offended to*sers didnt like them is no reason to bow down and apologise, absolutely ludicrous. They are some of my favourite videos and blend in well with the rest of channel.
The channel is supposed to be about your life, good and bad and opinions on life, so ignore those muppets complaining and keep doing and saying whatever tou want. Too many people apologising these days to the wet wipes in society. 😡👍
That's bollocks. Richies channel hasn't previously veered into politics & people in Thailand don't want to hear about that. It's divisive and possibly half his audience aren't right wing.
Scary stuff it makes u think what if I spent my money on a house r villa and that happens u would be swe done food for thought
🙏❤️🇦🇺🇹🇭
It must be the worst place to live and the most expensive….prone to disasters,quakes etc….go east to Pattaya no quakes
And it’s full of Russians 😖
🇵🇸❤️❤️❤️
Look at the floods and land slides in China lately.
I love ya Richie, but friends tell friends the truth (to help them). As you get older (yeah, you), there is a need to pay attention to the lighting in your bathroom so you can see the hair growing out of the top of your nose. I'm in my 50's and have been very conscious of my ear hair, nose hair and "other" hair growing from places that isn't usual. You have hairs growing out of the exterior of your nose that is visible from the side view especially. Maybelle might be too nice to point it out, but your real friends will let you know. Biore strips are nice for the peach fuzz, but sometimes wax and definitely tweezers can be your best friends. A weekly or bi-weekly appointment at a salon can be your friend to wax your ears, nose (interior and exterior), etc. Up to you, but only a friendly suggestion as I like your content and think you are a great person. Keep up the great content my friend.
i told you awhile ago you had lost the plot with your videos.the whole place there has floods and water everywhere all the time it has to affect the ground and more of this will happen for sure.
How did he lose his plot?
MENTALIST !
@@jamescasey1074 lost his way is doing rubbish videos he used to do great ones
Time to get out of there.....can now see you live in hidden potential danger zone.......up to you
Happens all over the world, often much worse. Nowhere is 100% safe, I wouldn’t live my life worrying about it
No is doesn't only in certain countries @@Duffla1972
my friend lives in Kata. His house and family was ok, they live on the other side of the hill
Thank you for the information !
Never rent a place on a mountain or next to a mountain
Shocking🥹
Also We dined in that restaurant on beach last month😳, food good but not as good as yours🤣
