How did a guy who was born raised in southeast London end up living here?
Up until a few years ago, I would never have imagined that I would have change my life like this. Just crossing to the north side of the River Thames had me feeling like a fish out of water.
2012 decided to visit a friend who was living in Thailand.
Fell in love with the place on that first visit.
During the return flight to the UK, I met and eventually fell in love with a beautiful Thai woman who had for the previous 10 years, been living about 20 miles from where I was living.
We spent almost eight years living together in Bexley Village, Kent, but all along we both knew that wanted to make the permanent move to Thailand.
I found success as a forex trader which allowed us to be able to live anywhere that we wanted and to still be able to continue working.
In 2019 we made the move to Udon Thani and this new adventure.
I hope that you enjoy these videos which document our everyday life.

most farms have bore holes drilled into the ground and they take water from the water table, different depths and quality of water depending on location and geology, its not a great idea as it takes much much longer to replace water into the water table than it does take it out, so will either have to drill very deep or it will run out eventually, but yes water drilled and pumped to the surface is what most places use, some direct and others pump it to storage ponds, cheers
Thanks for a great video! This is my first visit to your channel and I loved it, the countryside away from hustle and bustle, I will surely look into more of your videos!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Kev, love your video's & I know I've said this before, try whispering a little louder into Dave's ear about his choice of wardrobe, IE his pants, they do him no favors & make him look like he stole Lester Pickets riding pants! 🤪 As a fellow mechanic Kev you would have seen the active & neutral leads connecting to a starter motor at the font of the engine & being crank started because it more than likely had an old flat battery! Forgive me if I'm wrong. PS Kev, it's also good to know you are aware of the garbage the powers to be are ramming down our throat's to put the fear of Cr^^t in us for control!!! KEEP up the good work our switched on friend!
If you knew the prominence of the family that Dave married into, you would understand why he wears long trousers more often than not when he is out. Simple as that. I'm not sure about if the engine had an electric starter... Maybe. Being a part of a health food and natural supplement business, we are always seeing the control that big pharma have over any ads that are shown on social media. Hoping that everyone is ready to reject the bird flu propaganda that is about to be released 🙄
Hey Kev, thank you for your detailed reply, it wasn't a personal attack on Dave what so ever!!! I'm no fashion expert but I think Dave would look so much better wearing tighter fitting pants that don't look so baggy and unflattering! I'm sure many would agree!
@dogman129 I don’t think he worries about things like that. More a practical guy
very interesting video, fun to watch., very real video. We are still trying to sell the house in Florida and make the permanent move to Bangkok Thailand. We will be visiting in Udon Thani very often as well, looking forward to finally hang out with you Isaan Farang.
Best of luck Robert. We'll grab a coffee together sometime 👍
Hey guys! Have to admire the countryside with its natural beauty and mostly undisturbed state. Quite the contrast between what is primitive and civilized; each with its own form of beauty. Myself I prefer the primitive! A visit to the farm is a nice distraction from city or town living. A matter of survival, families working and staying together. Entertaining video! Best wishes, good fortune, health & happiness to everyone. State safe
Thank you Walt. All the best 🙂
@@TheIsaanFarang You're most welcome and thank you as well
Kev is that fruit a related species to Lychees? I was eating them in Phuket when I was there thinking they was Lychees! Great video as always.
Yes they are Steve! All members of the soapberry family but have different textures and flavours.
we always enjoy your stuff pete n cat
Thanks to you both and see you soon 👍🏻
Love eaten rambuton
👍🏻🙂
Nice video! Be driving thru Isan in August! 4 nights in Udon Thani cause its one of my favorites
Have a great time in our wonderful city 🙂
100 yrs ago I had an E-ten with a yanmar motor (same). rather uncomfortable to drive with questionable suspension. Hand crank it up... tak.. tak.. tak-tak-tak-tak. Which reminds me of an old girlfriend whom used always want to tak tak. huh wut you talk about? she said it was like boom boom but buriram verbiage. Ok, made sense if you care to think about it.
😄
How old are you???
Nice video thanks for taken us along
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Rambutans are high in fibre, vitamins, and minerals. So you can eat them every day. However, rambutan is abundant in natural sugars and may raise blood sugar levels. Thus it is safe to consume only 5-6 per day.😅
They were very sweet.
Every day is a good day to be alive, whether the sun's shining or not.🙏
How much did we laugh today? Wonderful day, and I think your mum enjoyed it too 😄
G'day from gisborne another great video Australia 🦘👍🇦🇺
Hi there Craig 👍
i start my volunteering work in an orphanage in July.....teaching english, im excited and scared lol
Congratulation and well done. Where will you be working?

Hi Kevin, I know in this UA-cam video you are referring to the heart check however in your mind what would be the best place in udon thani to get a full health check including skin checks. PM me if you like. Thank you
Personally, I think for the overall experience, the Bangkok Hospital or the Wattana Hospital. A bit pricy but for service and what's on offer, they come out in front. If you are looking at cutting back a bit on what you spend then the Military Hospital might be worth looking at.
Kevin and pooky I just rewatched the 7 days eating cheap videos. At the end you said you were going to do rooms for rent reviews. I can't find the videos. Can you tell me where to look. Under what category thanks
Not had a chance to do the videos yet Ray, but hope that we can soon.
@TheIsaanFarang cheers Kevin
You will enjoy it for sure. Will meet there one day. Thanks!
👍
Thanks a lot doe this nice video! My wife and I lived in Bangkok for 8 years. That again is 12 years ago as we are in Najomtien ever since. Our favourite Soi in Bangkok was Soi 8. There used to be a small bar next to the Pizza Place as well as the Soi 8 Pub. All gone. After we moved over here I sometimes stay at the Sawadee or Stable Lodge. The favourite pub is now in Sukhumvit 33/1. The O'Sheas. Fabulous. Go there and have a great time! The Manager is Jay. Great guy - great place - great food! Bests Frank
Thanks for sharing! We'll be sure to give it a try next time we are down there 👍
Great cab driver story kevin i was laughing. I drove a black cab in London for 28 years. Most people in the back who are normal working class are fantastic are they not. Good job on the whole but some people are a real pain
a great story :)
Thank you 🙂
Lovely looking lady, kind funny and caring too and speaks great English, you are a lucky man
Realised that from day one. Thank you Mike 😃

How to connect, pls?

@@ravibheemul3386 Working fine, just tested it. Try copy/paste
Your wife is really committed to making this work. I see her passion and it's full of integrity!
Absolutely right. When we were living in the UK, I helped her set up an online business selling women's clothes, bags and shoes. Same with that, always honest, open and doing the right thing for the people that she was working with.
Great story Kevin 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
You guys seem like a lovely couple. How long have you been together?
12 years and living in Thailand for almost 5 years
Cute & funny title for the day's topic! You should have set up a tent from a distance to where could observe and ensure her safety, if it was permissible. I couldn't leave my wife like that, but that's me. She proved to be tougher than you thought too. Lean muscle mass is beneficial to one's health.
Pook was safe with the other ladies around her. She is very resilient too
@@TheIsaanFarang I totally agree with your assessment; everything turned out well.
Hi Kevin & Pookie! Nice to see Pookie taking more of a lead into the conversation. Making the world a better place by providing a service to bring two souls into a commitment of lifetime companionship. Kudos to you and your business partner Pookie. Taking advantage of an opportunity is very satisfying! Enjoyed the video, continued success, safe travels and adventures.
Thank you ☺️

Pook & Kae congratulations on your first anniversary of MyThaiDating. It’s so nice to hear all the successful dating stories. Keep up the good work
Congratulations on your business success. I have not found the experience pleasant searching by myself and have only ten days left before I return to America. I honestly find the language, food and accommodations beyond my acceptable standards. For those that enjoy Thailand please continue to do so but as for me I am coming to the end of this journey. Good Luck all!
Sorry to hear that
Learn the language then, eat in places that serve western food and stay in better accommodation🤣🤣
You tell em Pooky!! Plenty of dodgy folks out there, I know, I'm one of them haha.
👍😄
Very nice trip Thank you for sharing It's very unfortunate that real motorcycles are not allowed on the toll road abd apparently the new highway
I think that they will be once it is completed Lee. Seems that they are having a test period 🤷♂️
That road looks familiar to me as I was visiting Pak Thong Chai in January. The trip seems to have cut 2 hours of driving time. I have maybe a month before I'm able to retire to Thailand.
It has made a big difference David. Much safer too.
The dozens of restaurants that used to be beside the reservoir must be furious.
I'm sure that they are Jeremy, however, they will still get a lot of visitors traveling the old road, simply for the view. You cannot see it from the motorway.
Congratulation Pookie on your fantastic achievement I see that Kevin was trying to put you off . So I send you a small gift to be used as you pleased. Thank you for sharing
Thank you Stewart for your kind gift on the Buy Me a Coffee link 🙏
Thank you very much Stewart.🙏
Man from the UK drives from Udon to Krung Thep to eat a Turkish Kebab. Couldn’t get any more British than that 555.
... and attended two business meetings Neil 😉
Thank you for the update on the roads they look really different when i was there in December, I am looking forward to seeing my lovely Lady next month in Isaan and trying the new roads out, love to both of you. ❤
Have fun and thank you
What would have been a idea is tell us how much time the new road saved from udon
I didn't time it precisely as when we set out, I didn't know that the M6 had been open Adrian 🤷♂️ But it would be approximately the same.
Sounds good
👍
These road projects were all planned in General Prayut's leadership time. This will slow down now they have the Pheu Thai Party and Move Forward Party running Thailand.
Oh... Okay
Little Arabia that area
Some wonderful food there
We flew from Khon Kaen a few weeks ago. 45 minute flight, 2 return tickets were 4,500 thb. Parking was 150 thb per day at the airport and we used the train to get into the city 160 thb each Fuel cost would be around 2,800 thb. Not much in it really.
We have flown down plenty of times Paul, but this time, need the car to bring things back.
Look like a fun trip .👍🦘🇦🇺
Spontaneous and not expensive, part of the joy of living here Craig.
Super clean world class reservoir!!! Loved Pak Chong and Kao Yai...
It is a beautiful place
The Motorway opened last Xmas and I flew down it in Jan. saved at least 45 mins on the Roi Et to BKK drive.
Great isn't it Neil 👍
