    This is so informative. Loving these vlogs so much. I watch one every night before bed to unwind. I’d love to see the wild monkeys but can’t handle the tiger places where they may be drugged out and exploited and stuff… Same with the elephants unless it’s a sanctuary but then, how do you really know the sanctuaries really have the animals’ best interests in mind? Anyways…. Driver dude was giving sheister vibes. Lol… Funny. You were very sweet about it and handled it well with patience and kindness. Happy travels my friend! 💛🙈🙉🙊🐵💛

    In Phuket it’s a fine line between scam and trying to rip off tourists. They assume you don’t know anything. Very interesting when they realize you speak thai and know how the locals call places 😂 at least try khao rang instead of monkey hill 🙏

    FYI, the gun ranges sometimes scam by giving people mostly blanks. It saves money because there is not lead. Also, the shooter gets frustrated by not "hitting the target" and will want to practice more.

      I had the same thing outside Prague . One of our guys was ex military and after one shot looked at the magazine and because it was a stag party who were pissed off they changed the magazines of about 20% of the party . Its not about lead ,it's about people wanting another go like you said because they look like twats in front of their mates .
