    Wow, Sammy. This is seriously an excellent vlog! One of your Top-5 best videos yet! It's a deeply affecting, emotional, informative, and world-class quality film. With some stunningly beautiful scenery, too. Just wow! 🎬🗺🌠

      I wish it did better in the polls but perhaps a niche interest area.
      Regardless, a beautiful place ain’t it!!!

    Nice one, mate. I hope you enjoyed Kanchanaburi. About the guy in the hostel, you know many Eastern Europeans and Russians aren’t going to smile or acknowledge you, culturally it’s just how it is. You have to make all the effort, but if they speak English well enough, they’ll engage with you. My wife’s Russian, and when we go to Russia, I act like I normally would, smiling, chatting, etc. Mostly, I think people think I’m nuts 😂Ultimately though, if people don’t want to reciprocate, it’s better just to let it go otherwise you are negatively affected by the experience. Safe travels!

    Great video Sam. This lane suits you much better than Pattaya nightlife, condo tours or bars...although I agree with Adam...that scooter is gonna struggle...as will your butt. Go slow, we like the little towns, the upcountry experience and real Thailand....don't rush it.

    Had a nice family holiday there a month before covid hit. Kanchanaburi and Erawan falls. A lovely part of Thailand. And catching the old train back to bkk with the open windows and wooden seats topped it off.

    Must admit your video quality and content has levelled up since leaving Pattaya. Probably just the fact there is more variety in the content....or maybe its that new Macbook lol 🙂
    Looking forward to the next install tomorrow!

    V.N. guesthouse,very nice.
    They are not 'jet boats,' but long tail boats.
    They run car engines without gearboxes.there drive shafts,from the cars they were liftrd from run a propeller at the back,hence the noise and name.
    The nam kwai river is surprisingly shallow,hence the surface dipped propeller and the also shallow draft of the long tail boats.

    I had a similar experience with a guy in Phuket last year that ,… let’s just say he fits the description of the fellow you ran into to a T,..he had wiped out his scooter and slid under the front end of a car , he was trying to pull the scooter out from under the car , I hopped off my scooter and before touching his bike asked if I could help him, he began screaming at me in his language , I don’t know what he said but it wasn’t hard to figure out what he was trying to get across so I promptly returned a universal remark by telling him to go “F” himself, got back on my scooter and drove away
