@@Dfgtyyuhvaghh I’ll be honest mate I’m too busy working to fund my next adventure

@ParkinsonRaw the working in uk would make the most interesting vlog

I’m back in the UK seeing my family over Xmas mate.

Hi Davey, I mean the Koh Chang just below Pattaya mate. It’s my favourite as it’s so relaxing there and not as busy as the other islands to the other side of Thailand like Koh Samui etc. Kanchanaburi is my favourite city again it’s very relaxing with the River Kwai running through it, the people are really nice, it’s not as expensive as most places, loads of great markets/temples etc and there’s loads to do there with the history of the war which really interests me. I hope you have an amazing retirement and trip around SEA🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍🏻

@ I actually realized later you did specify the Koh Chang you meant! M’bad. Haha Much busier but more to do than Koh Phayam though, no doubt. Do you know if they have the cheapo rustic bunglows option too, or no? If so, I’ll make my way for sure. Love Koh Phayam bunglows - pretty much “glamping” for me! Haha! At least since they got 24/7 power. I’ve seen earlier Chuck’s vids on his trips with Paige to Kanchanaburi (Koh’s Chang and Phayam too, for that matter), but they roll a bit different than I, so I don’t quite get the tastes of destinations from them (notime2bsad yt) as I’d like. Thus, I sure appreciates your thoughtful comments, Richie! Thanks as well for your best wishes on my retirement 🙏 Davey

Hi mate, I’m back in the UK till next year seeing my family.

Hi Bob, I’m back in the UK till next year mate.

It is beautiful mate and so relaxing.

Haha sorry Simon I haven’t been looking on here much I’ve been pedalling the hamster wheel back in the UK mate.

It is a nice market town Darlington

@@PeterParker-gt3xl depends if your in the tourist areas mate, I find better value in the traditional areas for food and accommodation etc

@@andrewmcgill6369 thanks very much Andrew, marching on together mate.

No need to be sorry, I read monkey temple a few places. I think I refers to there being lots of monkeys there, quite offensive? Anybody can be offended if they look for it in my opinion, if it’s not said in an offensive way there shouldn’t be a problem mate.

@ no you didn’t say it in a offensive way but it’s a place of worship… it’s sacred to both Buddhist and Hindus alike.. those who refers it as a monkey temple are ignorant of the shrines significance 🙏🙏

Hi Kell, I’m back in the UK and doing great thanks mate. I’m going to relax here with my family over Xmas and see how things go for next year.

Thanks mate, you’ll love Koh Phayam it’s so beautiful and relaxing💯👌🏻

Thanks mate, I do love a good wander.

Hi Alan, sorry about the late reply I’m back in the UK and doing great thanks mate. It got tiring living out of hotels and a bag for 16 months so I’ve come back to spend here for Xmas.

​@@ParkinsonRawBack on the shovel pal, good to know you're alright. You're mate Johnny left a number on the coffee thing. I was gonna phone him but thought it would've been a liberty. Enjoy your time and see you when I see you. Good luck.

@matthewmiles9626 thanks Matthew, I’m doing trade plate vehicle deliveries. I couldn’t go back on the sites over Xmas. You have a good one mate👍🏻

Thank you.

It depends where you go mate, I tend to stay, shop and eat where the locals go and you still get really good value. Obviously in the touristy areas it is getting expensive.

Where u at richy?

Thanks mate, living out of a bag for 16 months was beginning to be a chore so I’m back for Xmas with the family. I’ll have to see about vlogs, I’ve just started working again and I don’t have much time at the minute. MOT👌🏻

👌🏻

Thanks, I haven’t been right since I got dengue fever a few months ago. The bacterial infection from Pakistan also hit hard so I’ve come back to the UK to recover and spend some time with my family till after Xmas.

I’m back in the UK mate, I wasn’t well so I’ve come home to recover and spend Xmas here. I hope you have a great time and thanks it would have being good to meet you.

@ParkinsonRaw Please get well soon.

your more then welcome Richy i.m planing another month in thailand thinking of doing kanchanaburi 6 nights it will be my first time there then to hua hin for 10 nights and pattaya for 10 nights then into bangkok for 4 nights just cant wait would you do it the way i.m planing to do it

Thank you Michael, I bet you can’t wait and yes I’d do it the same way you are mate.

@@ParkinsonRaw Thanks Richy

Thanks mate, it did remind me of when I did the Mae Hon Son Loop just a mini version.

It’s expected mate unfortunately it’s that time of the year.

Hi Richy when's your next vlog mate

I am feeling a lot better thanks Jason, I’m back in the UK for a bit to reignite the passion. I felt like I was going through the motions travelling so long so I come home for Xmas with the family.

@ParkinsonRaw enjoy the Christmas and yes rest up

@travelswithjasonf1463 thanks Jason, you too mate.

I’m very stubborn Paul I hate backing down mate.

Thanks Paul, I had a lovely walk mate. I expect the dual pricing in places like this but I try and avoid them when possible.

Thanks, dental work isn’t possible unfortunately I was in a car accident when I was a child. I’ve tried everything.

Ahh that makes sense, I seen a lot of people doing that in Pakistan and Nepal. Thanks Andrew.

I am, thank you mate👍🏻

It is unfortunately John, there is a lot of lovely stations on the high speed link that have closed just like Hua Hin. I totally agree on the City I much prefer Pratchup Khiri Khan it’s so much quieter, not commercialised and has lovely beaches.

I have mate I used it on the Mae Hon Son loop but the footage was terrible to be honest.

It is a nice small market town Darlington thankfully Chris.

Very true Andrew, as you know money is not easy to earn and I’ve always been brought up to watch the pennies. I make a point by giving back like you said by spending with the locals rather than corporations. Thank you.

Thanks Andrew, after a tiring day it can get to be a pain but I always try and be polite whenever possible. I see a lot of people totally ignoring them and I don’t like that personally.

It does mate and it wasn’t badly priced either for a very good pizza. I quite like Gordon to be honest but he can be over the top at times.

It was very nice mate

@@ParkinsonRaw I’ve had that cheese burger myself lol

Thank you very much Alan.

Yes that sums it up perfectly mate.

@@agentgch yes I’ve been a few times, I’ve covered the vast majority of Kanchanaburi on my bike it’s my favourite City in Thailand. I’ve got 45 vlogs from there in my playlist.

@@ParkinsonRaw I concur Richie, absolutely wonderful place. I first visited in 2004 and hadn’t been back till Feb this year. Things have changed obviously but the vibe of the place remains the same.

That’s unusual I’ve never heard of the railway hotel, I love a good breakfast👍🏻

@@ParkinsonRaw it’s actually called the Bridge residence hotel, lol. I’m sure it was called the Railway last year but booking says otherwise 🤣 absolutely ace location and a great spread at breakfast.

@@agentgch ahh yeah I know the bridge, nice hotel.

It was a lovely ride, thank you.

Thanks mate

Thanks mate, yes in rain season it definitely does. In high season everything turns to straw in up to 45 degrees.
