Great insight 👍
@@kevrushton654 Thank you Kev 🙏🙏🇹🇭🇹🇭
@@frompowerlinestopowernaps I will be back in karon very shortly, I'll call into your place and have a beer 🍺
@@kevrushton654 sound's like a plan 🙏🇹🇭
No such thing as winter in Thailand you Muppet 😅
Hi Richard does the rain make your beard grow ? Are the couple from Stoke/Newcastle I can understand them lol
@@BrianArrowsmith-uf8qm it's all the heat and rain that makes it grow 😁😁. Yes Duck, they are true Stories and a lovely couple 👍
First time i came across this YT channel, i thought the powerlines in the title had to do with Thailands power cables. Imagine Richard sorting out Thailands power cables 😂 luv ur videos. Keep em coming.
@@12345678938143 😁😁. If I had to, I could do no problem 🙏🇹🇭
Great people, great interview! 🌴🏖
@@tormodsaethre Thank you Sir 🙏🙏🇹🇭🇹🇭
The microphone seems pretty good to me 👍🏻😊
@@krisgen29 Thank you 🙏🙏
The sound volume is ok for me. I think you might want to move the mic so it's not in contact with your throat to avoid the 'growl'. I'm not sure about your software or phone, but most will have some volume control in the 'settings'. I struggled with volume and noise with my audio set-up. Some things just can't be avoided. There are websites where you can do sound checks. Search Google for something like 'mic and camera test'. They let you record something online temporarily and then you can play it back and mess with the settings. Cheers.
Hi Richard The new mic needs turning down we can hear the motor bikes very loud . Have you had Black Beauty registered with a new number if so what is it Brian A
@@BrianArrowsmith-uf8qm Thanks Brian. Difficult to control mich volume but I may try the phone volume down on next one. No still on temp plates, I recon about 1 more month for new number. That will probably coincide with it's 1st service 👍👍🙏🙏
@@frompowerlinestopowernaps Thanks Richard let us know what BB gets
Niice work builders🎉 I like the Intro Richard.. My take on the new mic would be to hold on to it pointing at you maybe the growling will disappear.. (DEEP VOICE) .. Agree with you 100 about the air and smog up north.. Sending ❤to the kitchen team, thanks to all. Have a great week. 🎉Bye 4 now Stay healthy❤
@@farangdan Thanks Dan 🙏. I will try a few different things with mic 🤔🤔. Maybe it's just my deep voice 😁😁. Thanks for good wishes, I will pass onto the entire team 🙏🙏
Toilets look great. I reckon getting them done in 5 days in Phuket has to be pretty dam good. I look forward to the new intro. ❤
@@daveclews4497 Thanks mate. It will be great to see you 🙏👍
Your u tube sucks!!!
After arriving at Phuket airport 23 years ago and the bus left me in Karon, I fell in love with this amazing people. Now I have a thai wife. 🌴🥰
@@tormodsaethre That's really good to hear. I hope you are still very happy. Pop in a see me when you are next here 👍🙏
@@frompowerlinestopowernaps Yes, I am. 🥰I will definitely pop in with my wife next time when I am in Thailand. Phuket and Trang. 😊
Great little vid..I was in karon in may, hopefully be back in october or November,
@@kevrushton654 Thanks mate. Drop in and say hi if you get back 🙏👍
@@frompowerlinestopowernaps yes I will do mate definitely, I know whereabouts you are, I used to go in Ging restaurant, but I heard it's closed now
@@kevrushton654 would be great to meet you 🙏👍
If you don’t mind me asking, do you have many issues with the Thai people about filming at anytime or anywhere? Overall, are the more ok with or not with being on video? I’m thinking of starting up a channel, but just feeling out some info and getting feedback before going ahead with it. Thanks for any info in advance👍
@@martinpettit6134 I'm always mindful of this and try not to stick the camera in people's faces. If it's someone I want to interact with, like Pete the Taxi lady, then I explain and ask them first. If you use common sense you won't have a problem. Enjoy starting up, I'm still learning and not very good but it's something I enjoy doing 👍👍
@@frompowerlinestopowernaps thanks for the reply, yes it always comes back to respecting the people and the environment that your in. If you do that your more likely than not to get a positive outcome👍
Hi Sir, I have to mention about the windscreens in Thailand. It took me “longer than it should have” to work out what was going on. We are situated in Nahkon Sri Thammarrat and most cars have this dark tint. I thought we were always driving on streets that had very minimal lighting at night😅
Thank you Sir. Yes it's great in the sun, to keep a little cool but at night with limited street/road lighting it can be very difficult. Take it easy and be careful 🙏🙏
Back to the future!!!! lol
That was funny. Not expected but knew the punch line(from experience) and still belly laughed. Glad you are feeling better and up and about.
@@cameronmccown Thank you Sir 🙏😁
Tu duh dum bish hes here all week folks... Nice to see you back on yet feet Richard. Good work..
@@farangdan Thanks mate, it's great to be back. Hope tip number 3 makes a few smiles out there 🙏😀
Lovely room and so cheap ,may i ask the location and the name of the app Nui used thankyou.
Think she uses an App called Trip
Fair play...a good turn gets a good turn!..not many people realise how many burmese are in and around Phuket. I lived and worked there in the late 90s early 2000s was involved with the Tsunami too , I will subscribe and watch more .
Thank you Sir 🙂.well done for your efforts in 2004. The weather can be cruel, as I always knew working on the Power Network.
Awesome🎉well done ❤
Nice number 9-123 did you pick it or was it just given
@@BrianArrowsmith-uf8qm it was just given, although I like it too, sadly that is a temporary red plate, issued by the main dealer you have to return in 3 months to collect the real ( white ) plate, as they are issued later than the purchase, so I'm guessing I will get a new number 😉
@@frompowerlinestopowernaps Lets hope you keep that number so you don't have to keep changing it with the insurance .When I used to buy motor cycles from Yates's in Fenton I used to ask for a number 1 plate had CEH1G HVT1J then bought my own number 8BKA just four digits had it for over 50 years Brian A
@@BrianArrowsmith-uf8qm here you get your insurance when you get you road tax. So if you have road tax, then you have insurance. It is issued from the same department as the road tax. So all vehicle are insured totally irrelevant of rider or driver 👍. Its a great system. So the red plate is good for 3 month's as a new vehicle, occasionally the police can pull over a red plate just to check that you not gone over the 3 month's, although, they don't stop me here, as I have police sticker on the front, so they always wave me through 🙏🙏🇹🇭🇹🇭
By gum you boys know how to live eh? Forza and ADV bad boys on a day off🎉 fairplay. Great work to you both.. Cheers for taking us with.. Well done also on the extension. Now you can sleeep easier.. Best wishes and onto tomorrow for the great welcome home Nui.. Send our regards..
@@farangdan Thank you 🙏🙏. Yes it was a great result at immigration. A brilliant day out on the bikes 🏍. On tge down side, Nui's return was scuppered this morning by flash floods basically making Chiang Rai airport a no go zone!!!. So she has driven to Chiang Mai for the night and will return to phuket tomorrow instead 🙏🙏🇹🇭🇹🇭
She bought it out of your own money she’s Thai
Great bud🎉🎉was that an xmax or forza looks great
@@farangdan Thanks pal. Its a Honda ADV 350cc 👍
Hi Richard don't forget you are not allowed to do anything in the restaurant only drink the coffee the police don't like it .Really glad you like the Black Beast the more power will help up the hills . Little Moreton Hall/Green Man looks nice
@@BrianArrowsmith-uf8qm that's why I said I'm here to advise verbally only!!! 🤣🤣. I can talk to customer's Duck. But then you already know I'm good at that 🤔. I won't even take my empty breakfast plate back into the kitchen 🤣🤣. Not easy for a grafter like me but I've had to adapt to The Thai world. Great to hear from you. Hope you are well Duck 🙏🙏🇹🇭🇹🇭
@@frompowerlinestopowernaps Must be very hard for you as I know you are a worker and also you own half of the business
@@BrianArrowsmith-uf8qm I'm cool with it Brian. Having a good life and on paper!!!! I own nothing of the business 😉
We get out for a ride, once the Boss is back - best wishes Pete D
good she hasn't left ya for good:))
Nice ride! Wear a helmet!!!
@@987654321act always Bro 👍
Hi Richard you are a lucky boy . Can you ride a 350cc on a car licence or do you have to have a motor cycle licence ? 😁😁😁😁
Thank you Brian ,yes I am a very lucky boy 🙏🙏. Great question!!!, so when you live here early days, you can only drive the categories that you hold on your UK license ( for me it was only up to 125cc ) once you get your Thai driving licence you get 2. 1 for car and 1 for motorcycle. Once you have a Thai motorcycle licence, it's for any size/power. All good 👍🏻
@@frompowerlinestopowernaps I have a full UK motorcycle licence so I could ride any size cc
Nice ride 👍
What day did this happen?
Last Thursday night
What a kind/lovey lady your wife is 😊😊😊😊
@@BrianArrowsmith-uf8qm Thank you Brian 🙏. Yes, she has a Heart of Gold 👍
I'm up in Buriram and we want rain, as it's still summer up here.
Well we desperately need water too. Last night we had plenty!!!. Hope you get rain soon. Stay safe 🙏
@@frompowerlinestopowernaps Had a heavy shower today at 4 o'clock, so it's cooled down 😃
Looks a lot bettet than that crap hole Pattaya
Hi Richard Just wondering if you could recommend a good dentist. My husband and I are returning in January and we are going to be staying at scanhouse again. you might remember us visiting you . we are the Canadian couple my husband used to joke with you about me trying to steal one of your tea pots lol You gave us the name of where you thought you had bought the teapot and we drove out .there to find one .
@@LoriVandermey Hi guys ,hope you are well of course I remember you always 🙏🙏. I can highly recommend Dental art patak Road. Looking forward to seeing you guys again 🙏🙏
@@frompowerlinestopowernaps Thank you Richard We look forward to seeing you both and lucky and chilli😃
Wow, the last time I was on Karon beach was back in 2011 & my last trip to Thailand was in Samui in 2019. Thanks for your content. I miss the beautiful land of smiles.
Thank you so much for your reply Richard, All the Best for you and your wife Nui 🙏
Hi Richard, you need each year when you renew your marriage visa, have 400.000 on your bank account?
@@humbertoandre4579 Yes, that is correct. You can use some of it if you want. No more than 50%. But it has to be shown back up to full amount again at least 2 clear months before you re apply 🙏
You can do it! You don't need to beat yourself up to lose weight. I put on an extra 20 during covid. Before summer, I would walk 7,000 steps and 5 AM and 7,000 steps at 5 PM and another 4 to 5k steps during the day. I did this 7 days a week for 8 weeks and lost 25 pounds (1.75 stones). Not only did I lose weight, but my doctor removed me from all high blood pressure and cholesterol medicines. The mental health benefits were immeasurable.
@@ChuckHolland-i4b well done to you 👏. Yes I'm getting there. It is coming off, as quick as it went on 👍. Thank you for your comment and support 🙏
@@frompowerlinestopowernaps I'm not too far off from your age. I'm still working in the US planning my exit strategy. This coffee shop is exactly how I imagine my mornings to be. Cheers mate.
@@ChuckHolland-i4b only 1 life mate 🤔. Plan well and enjoy it 🙏🙏
Good luck with the weight loss. On the same journey myself.
😂😂. Its not easy but I'm making good progress already 🙏🙏
Great Watch thank you X
Really good, interesting to see explanations about dry cows etc never knew or even thought about that, all farm programmes have seen about milking never go into that... Best Wishes
