I've known Karl on and off for several years and I can honestly say he's one of the most genuine people I've ever met. He's had so many exciting experiences but never brags about anything, he just tells you the story how it really is. I thought jumping off the Pattaya Tower from the 52nd floor on a zip wire with him back in 1997 was exciting but Karl has gone way beyond that. His RUclips videos are captivating as well as informative and so very much more interesting than so many RUclipsrs who constantly walk up and down the same streets in Bangkok. I really enjoyed this interview, thank you Pete and Karl.
Karl's channel is such a hidden gem, I think some people overlook it but it's such high-quality stuff of what travelling around Thailand was like back in the day, and his genuine love of Thailand shines through
Karl is an absolute gent, i met him a few times in pattaya and found him to be very humble and a great conversationalist. i think his unquenchable thirst for adventure is refreshing people today strive for objects and things i think karl strives to see new things and to experience life.
Great interview Pete, not many interviewers give the guest the time to really tell their story. Karl seems a top bloke and so humble with it. Would love to see you do another interview with him
I first visited Thailand in 1956 on my way to Singapore as a kid. It took three days in a four-engine propeller driven aircraft. I emphasise with Carl. I remember seeing my first coconut palm...Today, after decades out east, I still love the sights and smells.
Must look up your site Karl. Most impressive interview. I also served during the Borneo Confrontation in the 60s. Tampin Malaya, Kuching and Singapore when Boogie Street really was something else.
Another home run Pete. Karl is a great guy with some great stories. People call me crazy, I dream of seeing tigers in the wild. Always like it when I learn a little something. Great video Pete!
Thanks Thomas, seeing a wild tiger here (twice) was a totally mind blowing experience. I’ve only once ever met anyone else who isn’t a National Park Ranger who’s ever seen one in the wild
This guy is a legend. Found his channel a few weeks ago and I’m totally into the stuff he does, has given me ideas of places to visit. A real gentleman too.
Great interview Pete. Carl seems a very understated person that kind of cloaks the wealth of experience, adventure and humility he has gathered over the years. Hope I'm lucky to cross his path one day. Thanks guys.
Khao Yai trail number 5 is the one he got lost with me. Deep in the rain season leaches jumping all over us and he's like 'you know what I'm lost' the next thing we're trying to get through a swamp heavily sinking in the mud. I could feel the leaches burrowing under my skin not a pleasant feeling. We come to cross a river and he's like just hang I'll make sure there's no crocodiles. A scary moment in life but an adventure I'll never forget
I'm a big fan of Karl and until recently with his videos of his earliest days in Thailand, most folks knew little of him from a personal standpoint so this was of great interest to me. He is well spoken, quite humble and easy to approach. He really is one of kind in Thailand. If you haven't checked him, do so!
Yes! i was wondering about one day maybe you will interview Karl as well! and you did, now it s here already. looking forward to watch it after work :D
Excellent interview Pete! Followed Karl for a while, his channel is brilliant and he seems like a down to earth lad. Enjoyed this one! Ps. Haven’t seen a republic top in a while?! COYBIG!
Karl's channel is sud yod, he really deserves to have more subscribers definitely... only him and Mark Wiens bring Thailand to next level compare to any other thailand vloggers due to their open mind, will and ability to learn thai language. Fact !
Hi, Pete & Karl I enjoyed your interview. Karl and his channel are great. He shows us locations off the beaten track. He has a wealth of knowledge and is willing to share it. Take care GOD Bless you and yours. M
A very good interview with a lot of honest and interesting content. I am 'only' living since18 years in Thailand - wished I would have had a chance to have seen it in the 1980's as a grown up. Been there as a teenager with my Father and of course experiences do not exactly match then. Still living and working here for may years - loving and adoring the Thai people for their kindness, honesty and culture! Bests from Frank, Najomtien!
I've watched a few of your videos now and you have an absolute gift for interviewing !! I hope you keep making great content and it takes you on an amazing journey !
Another wonderful interview and with one of life's true gents and a kindred adventure seeker. Karl - as always its good to hear your perspective and insights - hope to bump into you again when I return...@ year end.
Nice interview Pete and Karl. I've met Karl a number of times over the last couple of years. Always fascinating conversation with him. His love of Thailand is amazing. What an adventurous life!
@@karlsthailand it's the foundations of Thai life that are informative and helpful to a lot of people. These basic tenets will stand to anyone visiting or staying in the country. Be well and thanks.
Karl speaks like a native and so knowledgeable about my mother land, whereas I know nothing 😭 Chiang Mai was so primitive when I last went, around 1964😬 OMG! Thank you Pete and Karl 🙏
@@karlsthailand Thank you so much for showing your interest 🙏 But I was very young then and can't remember much, except traveling on a train from BKK to Pitsanulok then Chiang Mai, on a wooden train, but it was fun picnicking, sitting on the floor 😊 I left Thailand when I was 17, now in the UK. Sukhumvit Rd looks alien from when I used to Mater Dei School 😮 Love listening to you talking to Pete, thank you so much 🙏.... ❤️🇹🇭
Peter, this is an Very Interesting, Intelligent and Very Nice Man with Good Plans and Idea’s. Interesting Interview for me. (I remember these Old days on Pat Pong 2) 🙏
Another great interview. Carl's stories were very interesting. I'm pretty sure he's seen and done many more things that many will never get the chance to experience! I could listen to his stories for hours. Great bloke and a great interview Pete keep up the good work 🙏
Really enjoyed that interview Pete. I think most of us wanted to be like Karl, but life got in the way. Congratulations Karl. That you lived your dream. Not many of us can say that. All I can say is we go to the same hairdresser🙏😂
Just wanted you to know I'm a big fan of You and thairish times. 60 yr old white American expat sunk everything into a business with my 40 yr+ best friend, only to be cut out. Starting over. Broke, but not beaten Hope one day to be interviewed by you to tell my story. Keep up the good work!
@@karlsthailand unless it was a different venue. But it was definitely a Harley coming down from the ceiling followed by a Thai couple doing a S*X show. 🙂
Man!! your getting so prolific I can hardly keep up🗿. I will definitely be checking out Karls Channel. He sounds brilliant in the interview. Plus I love early 80,s 90,s Thai everything because I wasnt there and I love the pre mobile phone era. ⚽
very interesting fella , has some good stories in /about his life . saw another doc about him , forget where now and also follow his channel . always interesting doesn't matter what he taks about ...... but it does help having a good interviewer like yourself ... keep it up Pete
I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I'm sorry to say that I didn't bother watching your last one to the end as the bloke just took forever to explain everything. Karl is a very interesting man. It would have been great to meet him back in 1988 when I first went to Thailand and ridden bike's around the North with him.
I wish more expats made the small effort to learn the language. There would be far fewer miserable looking scowling foreigners here. Great interview with Karl and he has gained another subscriber. Wish there were more realistic channels like his out of Thailand. So much dangerous crap on RUclips a lot of flash, B.S. and very gullible viewers.
Did this lifestyle half my life as well...hard to beat being on the road in the hinterlands. As I say the road is addictive and sleeping outside is best way to go. Will have a look at Carl his videoke!!
Great chat chaps... I know who it is but my lips are sealed 🤣 Karl and I have just returned from 'the great tiger hunt' in the wild west of Thailand - it was an EPIC adventure!
Haha don't forget to leave a like, comment and feel free to share... the 2nd part is out tonight or tomorrow mate... as far as Pilok/Ban I=Thong.... and you do the intro for me 😁😉
I swear, Pete, I don't care how modern the building is, there is NO WAY I would walk on the glass floor where I can see hundreds and hundreds feet down. 😱. Yes, true, some people are more materialistic and tactless. My American (secret millionaire) Step-dad taught me when I first came to the USA many, many moons ago, to NEVER discuss RELIGION, POLITICS, AND MONEY with anyone, because it can only lead to an argument, resentment & jealousy. I appreciate Karl's honest opinions. Well done.
Amazing interview. Really took me down memory lane when Carl mentioned Freddy"s guest house where I often stayed. I remember Mrs.Freddy like it was yesterday. I have been coming to Thailand over 40 years now. Also Carl I am sure remembers the Boston Inn ( no longer exists). It was the first hotel I ever stayed in Thailand. It was build by US (along with the Malaysia hotel) for American servicemen on R&,R during the Vietnam war. After the war these hotel were apparently sold to Thais. I have stayed in both these hotels 40 years ago. I also stayed at the Privacy hotel near Freddy's. Another hotel across the street from the Malaysia hotel was and still is the L.A. motel a short time hotels for Thais. The owners are my close friends for 40 years. They rented a few rooms to foreigners but stopped renting to them many years ago as the police were constantly called for disturbing the peace. The neighborhood I am sure Carl knows was infested with drugs and raids by immigration police. A low budget backpack area, colorful to say the least
