As a fellow Canadian, you do you. Take ALL of the time that you need. Don't compromise your family's mental and emotional health for a RUclips channel. Your "friends" on here will ultimately still be here WHENEVER you want to get back to doing what you do so well ❤
Couldn't phrase it better, we will always be here no matter what or how long you need. The love and friendship between the community here is what ties us together and will keep this channel alive through whatever comes.
@@elterrifico9522 Its emotionally intelligent to take time to be a person, a friend, a family member. This is where our core lives. I wish him the best and hope this becomes a wonderful transformative experience for him.
Sorry for your loss, Chris. Your videos are the reason my wife and I are in Thailand RIGHT NOW. Thanks for inspiring us to visit this lovely country. We are thankful for your guidance.
Hi Chris. In my opinion, you should continue with your current approach. As in the past, upload videos on a variety of topics. This way you address the needs of a variety of viewers: those who are already in Thailand, those who want to come, retirees, younger people, etc.
I'm very sorry for your loss. I would like to see more rural Thailand exploring and interacting with locals. Those are always the best content to me! I look forward to your return!✌️🙏
I watched Chris from the very early days. It was spontaneous, fun and genuine. Then it became commercialised and in my opinion lost it's way. I rarely watch these days but good luck to Chris and I hope he can in the future return to how the channel started.
Would love to see more areas of Thailand. We are traveling to Pai this year and want to visit Koh Chang afterwards, we are interested in new and not so common places of the country
Take all the time you need, family time is the most important. We are early 60’s (Australian) and will be travelling SEA full time in about a year or 2 from now and would like to know about cost of living, accommodation, eating out, visas etc. We are not interested in the Bangkok night life but appreciate those that do. More info on more of Thailand, the smaller places, the islands etc, all the best 👍
As someone who worked in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia and missed it so much, your channel has given me a needed fix of Thai culture. My vote would be to expand. Do more vids of life in rural Thailand. Exploring Cambodia, Laos, maybe northern Malaysia and Vietnam. The people are what make Southeast Asia so special. Deep dives into the daily lives of country and city people all around the region would be beautiful.
Priorities, Chris. You put so much energy to helping people around the world to come to Thailand and realise dreams that even if you took a break just to go relax without a camera, everyone would support you! Sorry to hear about the news, best regards to your family. Looking forward to seeing you back soon. 🙏🤜🤛
Keep it all under One Roof add one channel and do what you're inspired to do that week and I think a cadence of one to two videos a week is perfect and they can be varied between a day and the life and also videos that give tips on Thailand relocation but I think the best thing you can do is look at your Analytics and put videos into buckets and see what works best for your channel and let that drive you towards the decision to start a new channel in the weight that would come along with managing multiple France but regardless Chris please enjoy your break in career and come back recharged😊
It's good you are spending time with your family now. 1. More day in the life videos. That one on the rural Thai teacher was really good. 2. More videos in rural Thailand. The north and in Isaan. 3. More videos on Thai customs, culture and religion. I'll be watching Train to Busan again tonight!
Sorry for your loss.. I have been here almost for day one I have enjoyed your "Pay it forward" videos the most .. as a Canadian I appreciate all of the efforts you guys did during Covid, your efforts to bring Christmas to many less fortunate Thais, and especially your visits to animal recovery centre's... like the dog mafia videos and how we can help these less fortunate animals... Thailand is a vacation country and that needs to be represented but your efforts with the less fortunate has been outstanding.. Regards, Ted Lennox Ontario Canada..
I liked the rural series and see the people helping out in their communities like the teacher, makes you feel grateful and humbled as well as inspired by the people putting up with adversity
Love the 'Day in the Life' videos, and I think they'd be good on a separate channel as they are so different to the rest of your content. A Day in the Life Working for You. 😊 Also, the rat cheese selection video was my favourite ever. All important life decisions should be made using this method.
Hi Chris and Hayley I am sorry to hear Hayley's Mother has passed away. So you're channel will give you 2 plenty of love. I think for the next couple of weeks let Adam do some with the prospective of a younger generation in Thailand. And if you come across something in Korea that blows you away share it with us. If not enjoy quality time with your family. We aren't going anywhere else. We are with you.❤
I so agree.. the fact that your channel always surprises and delights with its variety is its draw. Don't change anything just keep doing what you feel needs to be done. Do take good care of one another these coming weeks. Indeed so sorry for your family's loss. xo
I'm a Thai person. I started watching your RUclips channel about Thailand. You post the good video content and great VDO in Thailand. I encourage you to continue making good videos about Thailand. . For me ,I like you VDO about you interview multiple people in Thailand. such as The craft beer scene in Thailand has changed with Mr.Alex or the Chiang Rai trip with Khun Somphan Jarumilin.VDO like this showcase the lives of people in Thailand to the eyes of foreigners. The Thailand waiting you for presenting good things and many more cultures. Hope to see your new VDO about variety in Thailand in soon.
My condolences. Family is always the priority. Spend time with your family, especially at this time, and while you're there, show us how beautiful South Korea is. I sincerely appreciate everything you did to support my nation. On behalf of Thailand, I thank you. We love you, Chris. 🙏
It's been a total joy following your adventures over these few years; particularly during the pandemic when your energy lifted our spirits during that dark time. No ideas for your channel. Just wanted to say thanks for making a positive impact on the planet.
Sorry to hear of your family’s loss. I started following your channel in March and moved here to teach in July. I found your video on when someone first arrives in Bangkok so helpful. It really put me at ease knowing what steps I needed to take when my plane landed. I’d also like to see videos of foreigners who’ve settled in Thailand and hear their experiences. Enjoy your well earned rest!
Chris you're one of the hardest working and most interesting people on RUclips. The most rewarding thing that I've experienced in Thailand was getting up early and going to the Temple and to feed the monks. Every Temple has their own way of doing it and experiencing the communal meal that follows is a way to experience local Thai food. Most visitors to Thailand only visit the Temples later in the day and don't realize that if someone doesn't get up to feed the monks they might not eat. I understand that this isn't a popular suggestion but it's a wonderful feeling to experience. Thank you and my condolences to you and your beautiful family.
Monks only eat what's given to them. Local people who live near the monks come to the temple every day to make sure that the monks get their nourishment. It's part of a morning ceremony where the monks chant and pray. It's very beautiful and it's a good feeling to have fed the monks. Would you let your minister or pastor go hungry? @@man4YAWEH454
its part of the religious practice. By outsiders/people coming every day and feeding them, they are investing in their faith and doing acts of service which nourishes the soul. hope this helps! @@man4YAWEH454
I’m so sorry for your family’s loss, Chris. You all are in my thoughts. Proud of you for the amazing feat of 470 videos and even more importantly an incredible community. Please take as much time as you need, we’ll be here when you get back. Much love brother!
As a fellow Canadian, married to a Korean, currently in Suwon and living in Bangkok (we have quite a bit in common) my condolences to you and your wife. Enjoy your time off and whatever you come up with next i’m sure it’ll be incredibly entertaining.
Hi, same as others my condolences. As a suggestion based on my opinion as you asked moving forward I think if you do in depth coverage of each province in Thailand, what to see, what to eat, where to go etc.. maybe a month in each province get down to the local level and get some local insight would be another huge amount of content you can keep pumping out, maybe should go on another channel. Just my opinion, cheers
Chris, your best videos have been about the “soul” of Thailand’s people. Dive into more of what really makes Thailand so special. Being married to a wonderful Thai wife for thirty years has gifted me with knowing the Thai culture as so unique and beautiful. Go into the small towns again and capture the people in your videos that you do so good. Peace, Larry
Time with family is perfect. When you are back- relocating videos are great. Also love the housing videos where we guess the price. And the pay it forward ones are amazing. Hugs to Hailey.
My condolences to Halley and yourself! Love the change of video of the sceneries of Korea I would love to more of cities and country? Maybe I case I visit Korea on day ! Cheers mates ,love your RUclips vidios 😊❤
As a Korean-Canadian, just seeing the Korean landscape made me emotional, in Canada for over 30 years now... Also my condolences to your family, enjoy your well deserved time off and come back refreshed.
Take this time to heal and with the family. Wife and I are looking to move and settle down in Thailand so your videos have been informative. Look forward to seeing more videos and have a great time with the family. Cheers
Sincere condolences to Hailey and your family. As others have said, take as much time as you need, we'll still be here when you get back. Family always comes first. Having lost my mum recently only a week after my birthday (we were incredibly close), and not having any close friends or family, I have decided to retire and move to Chiang Mai next year. Your videos have been a major catalyst. Thank you!
Sorry for your loss. This phase of life has joy, happiness and sorrow. Hope you and the family connect and bond strongly during this time. I have used your video of the remote teacher to inspire teachers here in the US
I’m not quite Canadian but live in Minnesota so close. 😀 I really like your videos because they focus on positive things about Thailand. I’m traveling there in Nov and hope to move there in about 5 years. I would like to travel there frequently until then. My sympathies to your wife and family. Please take time and honor your MIL and help your family during this time. Take care, I wish you all the best and hope you continue to do what you do. One suggestion, maybe for each video you can teach one useful phrase in Thai to help us learn. Thanks again! Todd
Ciao Chris, so sorry for your family's loss 🙏🏻 I think you do a good mix of videos. I will say one of my favorites is you feeding the water monitor's. Enjoy the family and the memories, and we will be here when you return.
As a Korean and a travel content creator who has been living abroad from the family in Kore for years, this hit me differently. My deepest condolences to Hayley and your family, Chris. Family always comes first. Hope you guys spend some quality time in Korea. And man, we only create one video a week, hats off to you for creating 2 videos a week. I'm sure whatever the direction you choose to go, it will thrive. We love watching your videos, you have inspired us so much.
I am from Slovakia, and my Wife is Thai, we like to be informated from your videos , what is new in Thailand, about food trips and restaurants. We like to visit places, they have been showed on your Chanel. We are sorry the mother in low passed away.
Chris - when you come back I would LOVE to see more of your film-making, however my personal preference is to see the lives of foreigners in Thailand, houses that they are building, businesses that they are creating, I think the community you have built relates much more with these types of stories, and we can learn a lot from them. Also - please don't take your good vibe personality completely out of the frame, it is a huge part the channel's "it" factor. Anyway that's my two cents, I am sorry for your loss and hope you enjoy the family time over the coming weeks.
Your channel has been a faucet of inspiration, entertainment, and education. The content diversity combined with your energy and world view makes you best in class. Enjoy the well deserved break and continue with the magic, change as you see fit. Your creativity curiosity and care are the RW4U cornerstone. And most importantly, sorry to hear the news. Blessing and well-wishes to you and your family.
Hey Chris, love your videos and sorry for your loss. I'm 26 years old from America and loved Thailand when I visited for a month 7 years ago. I've decided recently to head back and will be there for 1 year on an education visa starting next week. I know most of the audience is probably older but some content maybe how foreigners can find businesses hiring and the process of a work visa. Thailand is a beautiful place and I just wish more people took the chance to experience it as early in their life as possible. Thanks for all the videos and enjoy your time off.
I am sorry for your loss, Chris. I have been a follower of your channel since it had 1,000 subscribers. I am amazed by how the channel has grown over the years and I admire your amazing energy. Your videos during the pandemic were a lifesaver for me and my family. Thank you for everything you do. Please take your time off and I promise to be here when you return. I wish you and your family all the best.
Cheri and I are sorry for your loss Haelee. We are thinking about you and your family at this difficult time. God speed on the family's healing journey. Hope to meet soon...Your neighbors, Keith & Cheri.
My deepest condolences to you guys. Family time is the most important thing right now and it is absolutely understandable. There's no other place on Earth to make healing the most effective than being at home. It doesn't matter how long you guys will take a break from making videos, I'll still be waiting for you all. Also, I think you guys should keep the name of you channel! Love from Bangkok ❤
Brother, I just got back from Thailand 🇹🇭 a big motivator was thanks to your vids, humour & information, landed this morning 7 am via KL massive paradigm shift over 4 weeks, thank you 🙏 enjoy time with your family, daughters are awesome 👏
Hi Chris. I’m in Thailand watching all your video’s and my son is in USA doing the same. We both agree , “ a day in the life “ ones are cinematography. But, whatever you do, we will always enjoy.
Fellow Canadian here as well . . . . of course, take your personal time for family, that's the real #1 in your life. Condolences to Hayley & Family. The RUclips community has ample content from your efforts to stay informed, and entertained. Visiting Thailand since 1988(!), I'm a huge fan of your content and love the mix of featuring Tourist stuff (top-25 Bangkok), featuring local Thai personas, and logistics for living in Thailand with RWFY trademark wit and energy. Hope to bump into you someday while visiting. Take care, eh.
Chris, you have been a big Inspiration for me to start my own travel channel. So first of all thank you ❤. You really deserve the break and I can’t believe you are still posting 2 videos a week. Your videos are so well made that sometimes i have to rewatch parts of the video over and over again to understand what you have done. For example in this video, I loved how you were storytelling from multiple locations and loved the smooth and entertaining ride to Busan with your family. That edit was so beautiful. I have bookmarked it. Anyway you asked for some advice so here goes: 1. I feel you should drop to 4 videos a month. Instead of quantity double down on quality and depth which you are so good at. 2. I think we will watch whatever you talk about.. the subject doesn’t matter. Your audience loves you and it has very little to do with tour topic i feel. Which brings me to #3. 3. I think your power is your charisma and the way you do your story telling. If you could teach this to others many creators could benefit from it. Ofcourse you can do it in another channel which will have a very different audience. This will also give you a bit of diversity but also open you up to different audience, sponsors and partnership opportunities. Lastly I am sorry for your loss. Please take care of your family. ❤️❤️❤️
Sorry for your family’s loss! I have been watching for about a year and a half now. Here are my ideas for your channel- 1. Keep doing exactly what you’ve been doing! 2. More of the day in the life vids (they’ve been epic!) 3. Vids about you learning Thai language 4. Vids about you learning Thai cooking 5. Let Adam take over for this month 6. Vids up north (Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai 7. More vids with the Idea Studio dude 8. Do a vid with Bangkok Pat and Thai Talk with Paddy 9. Couple Korea shorts (if you get the itch) Thats all I can think of for now. Thanks for all of your vids. Tell your lady that strangers out in youtube land are sending her happy vibes cuz she is sweet with a smile that rubs off on your viewers Cheers from Chiang Mai (currently)
I’m totally new to your channel and was so excited to find your videos to help plan my upcoming trip to Thailand. I’m sorry for your wife’s loss and wish you both all the best.
I loved your previous give back videos, perspectives on the different types of lives and would love more videos on how to transition to Thailand. I'd like to know more about the education options ( Primary and highschool) in Thailand and how they differ to Western countries. Sending much love to you and your family ❤
Condolences for your MIL. She’s on to our next chapter. I enjoy the day in the life vids too. They are very engaging and informative. And the side trip vids are cool too.
I enjoy watching all your videos. We are coming to Thailand in November from the United States. And your videos and my son’s beautiful Thailand pictures, are what inspired me to come to Thailand. Take your time enjoy your family and take all the time that you need. I will be here when you get back. Just relax
So sorry for your family loss. Take time to unplug and spend time with your beautiful family. We'll all be here when you get back. Honestly, I enjoy all of the different topics you cover. I like that you change it up on the same channel, not sure multiple channels are a good idea. I enjoy the relocation videos since I'm thinking of moving to Thailand soon. I visited last year and have a trip booked again for November. I'm going to spend a full week in Bangkok this time and will use a lot of the information from your videos. Hope these thoughts are useful to you, hope to see you on the streets of Bangkok in November!
Condolences on your families loss. I will pray for you guys. As far as content goes, I have enjoyed your videos and experiencing Thailand through your eyes. My only suggestion or request would be for more family touring content. I have 2 smaller children, ages 3 and 8. Seeing different parts of Thailand and seeing what we can do as a family with small children would go a long way to helping me convince the wife that it would be a worthwhile family trip. I have always been told that Thailand is an adult Disneyland, but I need to sell it to the kids as well!! Thank you for your time. And I am SUPER appreciative of everything you have done so far!!
Thanks for all your efforts in putting out good quality videos. In response to getting some feedback on suggestions for the future of this channel, the videos I most appreciated viewing were the human interest stories. The one you did on the struggles of the Muay Thai gym employees in Bangkok as part of your "pay it forward" series, really got me interested in following your channel. These videos show what I feel is the real Thailand and not just a travelogue or restaurant/hotel reviews that many RUclips vids seems to try and capitalize on. I also liked some of your day-in-the-life videos (school teacher and food vendor) which provide in-depth details (from their perspective) on the lives of common Thai folks.
Thank you you are truly Canadian and as a fellow Canadian I like your videos you most definitely help me through the winter months as it seems always nice in Thailand.I liked day in a life and when you drive and ride around.
I believe you should keep the channel together keep the old w the new! Best wishes and keep on doing what you’re doing! We will all love whatever content you decide to push out!
Your channel is just the best! You have inspired us to think differently about our life and we are keen to take the plunge. I would still like to work professionally for the next 10 years but seeking alternatives for my family. Your channel has showed us that a different life is possible and any content on practical steps most welcome! Thank you for all the laughs ❤
It so beautiful and my Condolences go out to all of you lovv3 your channel and I gotta say this I lovv3 your voice have a lovely vacation ❤ and your wife and daughter are beautiful ladies
Sorry for your loss. Family first. I've enjoyed your RUclips since the COVID days. From the time when Bangkok closed and back to 'normal'. Chris you always have great ideas for your videos. Whenever you decide to comeback - do it in your time 🙏🇹🇭🇬🇧🇱🇨
Hi Chis. Please accept my condolences. Absolutely love your channel, especially content aimed people relocating to Thailand. Thank you for a great channel.
Much condolences Hayley, Chris and Anna. Korea is spectacular !! Enjoy this special time reminiscing Mum who has passed on. We are Aussie ex pats who travel back and forth. Would love to hear about the many ways and the process of staying long term. We are relatively fit retirees with adventure in our hearts. 🥰🇦🇺
Hiya Chris. So sorry for your loss. Thinking of Hayley and you all. Korea looks lovely. Your daughter is gorgeous. Family time is always the best time. Thank you for the little tour around. Have a great time. I enjoy all your content, to be honest. I am not much help. I will always watch your videos. Have a wonderful weekend.
I love videos that show everyday life in Thailand. I didn’t know how often you posted but as long as you can stay consistent any pace should be fine. Love the 15-20 minute videos. We sit and watch them as a family and dream about visiting.
Sorry for your loss. Thanks for all you share. I have no specific requests tbh but will be glad when you're back. I can't wait for our holiday later this year and you and fam have helped inform us on so much, very grateful!!❤ TC
Hi Chris, sorry for your loss, it's great that you are going to take a break and spend time with the family. I am going to be in Thailand Sept. 29 - Oct. 10. If you're back, I would love to meet up with you and buy you a beer.
Wow!, enjoy your break..I would like to see more videos of you helping the Thai natives. The one from the school for the gifted kids comes to mind! Cheers
As a fellow Canadian, you do you. Take ALL of the time that you need. Don't compromise your family's mental and emotional health for a RUclips channel. Your "friends" on here will ultimately still be here WHENEVER you want to get back to doing what you do so well ❤
Well said. 👍
I’m crying. Crying. Crying 🙄
Couldn't phrase it better, we will always be here no matter what or how long you need. The love and friendship between the community here is what ties us together and will keep this channel alive through whatever comes.
Take as much time as you need. Family and health is paramount. We'll still be here when you ready to post more video's. Take care mate and stay safe

i second this X10000000
second that as well. Laos and Malysia would also be great. And while your there: Korea
Yeah this would be awesome
Priorities, Chris. You put so much energy to helping people around the world to come to Thailand and realise dreams that even if you took a break just to go relax without a camera, everyone would support you! Sorry to hear about the news, best regards to your family. Looking forward to seeing you back soon. 🙏🤜🤛

Being married to a wonderful Thai wife for thirty years has gifted me with knowing the Thai culture as so unique and beautiful. Go into the small towns again and capture the people in your videos that you do so good.
Peace,
Larry
Time with family is perfect. When you are back- relocating videos are great. Also love the housing videos where we guess the price. And the pay it forward ones are amazing. Hugs to Hailey.
Sorry to hear about Haylee's mum's passing. Look after yourselves, that's all that matters.
Sorry for your family loss , and give big hugs for Hayley.
Looking Forwards For Future
My deepest condolences to Heley and her family. I remember Heley's mother when you guys visited Korea last year. May she rest in peace.
My condolences to Halley and yourself! Love the change of video of the sceneries of Korea I would love to more of cities and country? Maybe I case I visit Korea on day ! Cheers mates ,love your RUclips vidios 😊❤
As a Korean-Canadian, just seeing the Korean landscape made me emotional, in Canada for over 30 years now... Also my condolences to your family, enjoy your well deserved time off and come back refreshed.
Take this time to heal and with the family.
Wife and I are looking to move and settle down in Thailand so your videos have been informative. Look forward to seeing more videos and have a great time with the family. Cheers
Chris is less than 4 years you got almost 400k subscribers. So don't fix what's not broken. You are doing a great job 👏 👍🏻
Sorry for your loss. Have an amazing time.
The “day in the life” video was my favorite. I would love to see more of the local life in Bangkok.
Sincere condolences to Hailey and your family. As others have said, take as much time as you need, we'll still be here when you get back. Family always comes first. Having lost my mum recently only a week after my birthday (we were incredibly close), and not having any close friends or family, I have decided to retire and move to Chiang Mai next year. Your videos have been a major catalyst. Thank you!
Sorry for your loss. This phase of life has joy, happiness and sorrow. Hope you and the family connect and bond strongly during this time. I have used your video of the remote teacher to inspire teachers here in the US
I’m not quite Canadian but live in Minnesota so close. 😀 I really like your videos because they focus on positive things about Thailand. I’m traveling there in Nov and hope to move there in about 5 years. I would like to travel there frequently until then. My sympathies to your wife and family. Please take time and honor your MIL and help your family during this time. Take care, I wish you all the best and hope you continue to do what you do. One suggestion, maybe for each video you can teach one useful phrase in Thai to help us learn. Thanks again! Todd
Ciao Chris, so sorry for your family's loss 🙏🏻
I think you do a good mix of videos. I will say one of my favorites is you feeding the water monitor's. Enjoy the family and the memories, and we will be here when you return.
As a Korean and a travel content creator who has been living abroad from the family in Kore for years, this hit me differently. My deepest condolences to Hayley and your family, Chris. Family always comes first. Hope you guys spend some quality time in Korea. And man, we only create one video a week, hats off to you for creating 2 videos a week. I'm sure whatever the direction you choose to go, it will thrive. We love watching your videos, you have inspired us so much.
I am from Slovakia, and my Wife is Thai, we like to be informated from your videos , what is new in Thailand, about food trips and restaurants. We like to visit places, they have been showed on your Chanel. We are sorry the mother in low passed away.
Chris - when you come back I would LOVE to see more of your film-making, however my personal preference is to see the lives of foreigners in Thailand, houses that they are building, businesses that they are creating, I think the community you have built relates much more with these types of stories, and we can learn a lot from them. Also - please don't take your good vibe personality completely out of the frame, it is a huge part the channel's "it" factor. Anyway that's my two cents, I am sorry for your loss and hope you enjoy the family time over the coming weeks.
Sorry for your loss. The world will be awaiting your return!
Your channel has been a faucet of inspiration, entertainment, and education.
The content diversity combined with your energy and world view makes you best in class.
Enjoy the well deserved break and continue with the magic, change as you see fit.
Your creativity curiosity and care are the RW4U cornerstone.
And most importantly, sorry to hear the news. Blessing and well-wishes to you and your family.
Sorry for your loss. Enjoy your time off.
Hey Chris, love your videos and sorry for your loss. I'm 26 years old from America and loved Thailand when I visited for a month 7 years ago. I've decided recently to head back and will be there for 1 year on an education visa starting next week. I know most of the audience is probably older but some content maybe how foreigners can find businesses hiring and the process of a work visa. Thailand is a beautiful place and I just wish more people took the chance to experience it as early in their life as possible. Thanks for all the videos and enjoy your time off.
Very sorry for your loss. Enjoy your time with the family
I am sorry for your loss, Chris. I have been a follower of your channel since it had 1,000 subscribers. I am amazed by how the channel has grown over the years and I admire your amazing energy. Your videos during the pandemic were a lifesaver for me and my family. Thank you for everything you do. Please take your time off and I promise to be here when you return. I wish you and your family all the best.
Cheri and I are sorry for your loss Haelee. We are thinking about you and your family at this difficult time. God speed on the family's healing journey. Hope to meet soon...Your neighbors, Keith & Cheri.
My deepest condolences to you guys. Family time is the most important thing right now and it is absolutely understandable. There's no other place on Earth to make healing the most effective than being at home. It doesn't matter how long you guys will take a break from making videos, I'll still be waiting for you all. Also, I think you guys should keep the name of you channel! Love from Bangkok ❤
Brother, I just got back from Thailand 🇹🇭 a big motivator was thanks to your vids, humour & information, landed this morning 7 am via KL massive paradigm shift over 4 weeks, thank you 🙏 enjoy time with your family, daughters are awesome 👏
Hi Chris. I’m in Thailand watching all your video’s and my son is in USA doing the same. We both agree , “ a day in the life “ ones are cinematography. But, whatever you do, we will always enjoy.
Sending love to your family. ❤ Take all the time you need. We will all be here when you get back! 😊
Fellow Canadian here as well . . . . of course, take your personal time for family, that's the real #1 in your life. Condolences to Hayley & Family. The RUclips community has ample content from your efforts to stay informed, and entertained. Visiting Thailand since 1988(!), I'm a huge fan of your content and love the mix of featuring Tourist stuff (top-25 Bangkok), featuring local Thai personas, and logistics for living in Thailand with RWFY trademark wit and energy. Hope to bump into you someday while visiting. Take care, eh.
Sorry for your loss. Looking forward to seeing you when you get back on here.
Chris, you have been a big Inspiration for me to start my own travel channel. So first of all thank you ❤. You really deserve the break and I can’t believe you are still posting 2 videos a week. Your videos are so well made that sometimes i have to rewatch parts of the video over and over again to understand what you have done. For example in this video, I loved how you were storytelling from multiple locations and loved the smooth and entertaining ride to Busan with your family. That edit was so beautiful. I have bookmarked it.
Anyway you asked for some advice so here goes:
1. I feel you should drop to 4 videos a month. Instead of quantity double down on quality and depth which you are so good at.
2. I think we will watch whatever you talk about.. the subject doesn’t matter. Your audience loves you and it has very little to do with tour topic i feel. Which brings me to #3.
3. I think your power is your charisma and the way you do your story telling. If you could teach this to others many creators could benefit from it. Ofcourse you can do it in another channel which will have a very different audience. This will also give you a bit of diversity but also open you up to different audience, sponsors and partnership opportunities.
Lastly I am sorry for your loss. Please take care of your family. ❤️❤️❤️
A deep dive into the lives of the people sounds really amazing. We enjoy your videos here in Ireland. Take good care of yourselves.
Sorry for your family’s loss! I have been watching for about a year and a half now. Here are my ideas for your channel-
1. Keep doing exactly what you’ve been doing!
2. More of the day in the life vids (they’ve been epic!)
3. Vids about you learning Thai language
4. Vids about you learning Thai cooking
5. Let Adam take over for this month
6. Vids up north (Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai
7. More vids with the Idea Studio dude
8. Do a vid with Bangkok Pat and Thai Talk with Paddy
9. Couple Korea shorts (if you get the itch)
Thats all I can think of for now. Thanks for all of your vids. Tell your lady that strangers out in youtube land are sending her happy vibes cuz she is sweet with a smile that rubs off on your viewers
Cheers from Chiang Mai (currently)
I’m totally new to your channel and was so excited to find your videos to help plan my upcoming trip to Thailand. I’m sorry for your wife’s loss and wish you both all the best.
I loved your previous give back videos, perspectives on the different types of lives and would love more videos on how to transition to Thailand. I'd like to know more about the education options ( Primary and highschool) in Thailand and how they differ to Western countries. Sending much love to you and your family ❤
Condolences for your MIL. She’s on to our next chapter. I enjoy the day in the life vids too. They are very engaging and informative. And the side trip vids are cool too.
Very sorry for your profound loss. I enjoy your videos as is. You do a great job.
Sorry for your loss, please take the time you need. Don’t forget to let Adam help with perhaps just some realestate videos while your away.
I enjoy watching all your videos. We are coming to Thailand in November from the United States. And your videos and my son’s beautiful Thailand pictures, are what inspired me to come to Thailand. Take your time enjoy your family and take all the time that you need. I will be here when you get back. Just relax
So sorry for your family loss. Take time to unplug and spend time with your beautiful family. We'll all be here when you get back. Honestly, I enjoy all of the different topics you cover. I like that you change it up on the same channel, not sure multiple channels are a good idea. I enjoy the relocation videos since I'm thinking of moving to Thailand soon. I visited last year and have a trip booked again for November. I'm going to spend a full week in Bangkok this time and will use a lot of the information from your videos. Hope these thoughts are useful to you, hope to see you on the streets of Bangkok in November!
Im going to thailand in a two weeks and your channel has been a blessing. Thank you for your content. You are a saviour.
Thanks for sharing your life in Thailand Chris. Condolences to hailee and the rest of your family
Condolences on your families loss. I will pray for you guys.
As far as content goes, I have enjoyed your videos and experiencing Thailand through your eyes. My only suggestion or request would be for more family touring content. I have 2 smaller children, ages 3 and 8. Seeing different parts of Thailand and seeing what we can do as a family with small children would go a long way to helping me convince the wife that it would be a worthwhile family trip. I have always been told that Thailand is an adult Disneyland, but I need to sell it to the kids as well!!
Thank you for your time. And I am SUPER appreciative of everything you have done so far!!
The day-in-the-life videos are brilliant and I would like to see more of them, as well as videos that go into more depth than the usual travelogues.
Much thoughts and prayers to the family and you. Relocating to Thailand would be an interesting topic.
Good call spending time with your family. I'm sorry for the loss that all of you are enduring.
Sorry for your family's loss. Take time and heal..
Thanks for all your efforts in putting out good quality videos. In response to getting some feedback on suggestions for the future of this channel, the videos I most appreciated viewing were the human interest stories. The one you did on the struggles of the Muay Thai gym employees in Bangkok as part of your "pay it forward" series, really got me interested in following your channel. These videos show what I feel is the real Thailand and not just a travelogue or restaurant/hotel reviews that many RUclips vids seems to try and capitalize on. I also liked some of your day-in-the-life videos (school teacher and food vendor) which provide in-depth details (from their perspective) on the lives of common Thai folks.
Thank you you are truly Canadian and as a fellow Canadian I like your videos you most definitely help me through the winter months as it seems always nice in Thailand.I liked day in a life and when you drive and ride around.
Thanks Chris for all of your valuable info for 5 trips to Thailand....take care and best to you and your whole family
I believe you should keep the channel together keep the old w the new! Best wishes and keep on doing what you’re doing! We will all love whatever content you decide to push out!
Your channel is just the best! You have inspired us to think differently about our life and we are keen to take the plunge. I would still like to work professionally for the next 10 years but seeking alternatives for my family. Your channel has showed us that a different life is possible and any content on practical steps most welcome! Thank you for all the laughs ❤
I love the videos about the food in Thailand, and I think the street vendor video was amazing! Just be YOU that's what we love! Enjoy your break 💓
It so beautiful and my Condolences go out to all of you lovv3 your channel and I gotta say this I lovv3 your voice have a lovely vacation ❤ and your wife and daughter are beautiful ladies
Sorry for your loss. Family first. I've enjoyed your RUclips since the COVID days. From the time when Bangkok closed and back to 'normal'. Chris you always have great ideas for your videos. Whenever you decide to comeback - do it in your time 🙏🇹🇭🇬🇧🇱🇨
Condolences to Hailey and family …thank you for spreading smiles and happiness for your youtube family ..
Hi Chis. Please accept my condolences. Absolutely love your channel, especially content aimed people relocating to Thailand. Thank you for a great channel.
Much condolences Hayley, Chris and Anna. Korea is spectacular !! Enjoy this special time reminiscing Mum who has passed on. We are Aussie ex pats who travel back and forth. Would love to hear about the many ways and the process of staying long term. We are relatively fit retirees with adventure in our hearts. 🥰🇦🇺
Hiya Chris.
So sorry for your loss. Thinking of Hayley and you all.
Korea looks lovely.
Your daughter is gorgeous. Family time is always the best time.
Thank you for the little tour around. Have a great time.
I enjoy all your content, to be honest. I am not much help. I will always watch your videos.
Have a wonderful weekend.
I love videos that show everyday life in Thailand. I didn’t know how often you posted but as long as you can stay consistent any pace should be fine. Love the 15-20 minute videos. We sit and watch them as a family and dream about visiting.
Sorry for your loss. Thanks for all you share. I have no specific requests tbh but will be glad when you're back.
I can't wait for our holiday later this year and you and fam have helped inform us on so much, very grateful!!❤ TC
Hi Chris, sorry for your loss, it's great that you are going to take a break and spend time with the family. I am going to be in Thailand Sept. 29 - Oct. 10. If you're back, I would love to meet up with you and buy you a beer.
Sending all of the love and light to you and your family.
Wow!, enjoy your break..I would like to see more videos of you helping the Thai natives. The one from the school for the gifted kids comes to mind! Cheers
Very sorry for your loss and take as much time as you need
So sorry for your loss.. Hope all you have a great time together. We all miss you.
