so moving and so beautiful to see what Mo's uncle is doing and how he is doing now after quitting alcohol, really a positive booster for everyone, I have so much respect for that man
What a wise old boy, ask a question and be a fool for a minute, don't ask a question and be a fool for a lifetime. Great vlog you two, I'm really enjoying the down-to-earth and honesty of your recent posts. This is the Thailand I know and love.
Damo's aunt and uncle are truly wonderful people. So friendly and outgoing. He's a regular mad scientist for sure. 😂❤. They live so cheaply but I think they go without extras like we have in the west. Just little things that make life easier and enjoyable. Wonderful vlog. Enjoyed very much. I really appreciate the locals letting us into their lives. Like the hill people too. Keep up the great content. Hugo is getting so big. Damo is such a good Mom. ❤
Great Vlog guys. I'm always interested in what the Thai people do themselves to earn a crust and make ends meet. It's funny to see how the Thai people always find a way to make stuff work. It's not always pretty but it works. I remember helping out with the building of a wall around the perimeter of a Thai persons property and was told not too worry too much about how it was done....this is how it's done in Thailand. That was all I needed to know. Things get done....just a bit different too what I would be used to. But it works and that's all that matters
Wonderful flog again. Few things doesn't add up. The rice mill, it looks amazing, but absolutely isn't running of the 3 panels! We have visited several mills and they all have their own special tweaks :-) But.. +/- 3000 watt motors for this size.. 8000 THB, 25 per bag, say 350 bags. 45kg takes about 20 minutes, Their electricity bill alone should be about 4-5000 THB. Perhaps the 8000 is after deducting the electricity cost? 50k for 3 solar panel setup? Probably including the pump, inverter and battery. But even then, expensive. (Sorry, we live off grid, so I'm in the know.. prices and equipment) 3 panels + pump + gel battery + inverter.. 20k is doable. I guess a bit like the house... Sadly i see this a lot. Poor people kept poor by people asking exorbitant prices.. 800k for that "skeleton build".. that's steep! And there lies also the downside of village.. If he doesn't ask the builders in the village, they are offended and won't bring their rice. If he makes a problem about the high cost.. same same.. Brave man and woman!
Brilliant vlog Damo and Ryan. Beautiful property with a lot of projects. Yes if old. really old, or have a knee injury at any age, stairs are a challenge. An old friend of mine's grandfather built a house in the 20's and in the 70's added a homemade hydraulic elevator as they needed it! Yes, alcohol helps forget pain and loss. Very true and honest speech on alcohol by Damo's Uncle.Thank you. Peace and Love
Hi Ryan & Mo, Fantastic vlog thank you both and the ‘contraption’ is worthy for approval by Heath Robinson himself. Much enjoyed, what a way to live, very inspiring. Best to you all. Anthony. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Damo, thanks for a very interesting insight into how Your uncle and his wife live. You are an excellent interviewer showing interest in the answers that you are given. Thanks for your small part too Ryan. 🙂What an amazing rice machine. With all those wheels and belts and the wooden winnowing parts, it reminded me of the old windmills that used to make flour, before modern machinery took over. God bless you and the family 🙏❤😀
I love it when it rains in Thailand; the stormier, the better. Unfortunately, in Tabaek Ngam in Nakhon Sawan it seems to be getting drier and drier....please let it rain more! Nice video❤
Thanks for sharing this video with us! Damo’s uncle & aunt sure are self sufficient and love their vegetables garden. Cannot wait to watch your next video 😊
Very Wholesome video Ryan, Love to see stuff like this. I love being around my Thai wifes family and seeing how people live and go about their day to day business. There new house being built looks great, will be good to see how they finish it.
It is sad, that alcoholism is so widespread in rural Tailand as one bottle of laokau 35-40% cost less than a bottle of beer. Question please: One solar panel cost 3-4000,-B That is 12-15000,- for the three panels. What made the thing cost 50000,- ???
Great video guys. Very interesting to see how Damo's Uncle lives. You described the new house excellently, with your points you made. It is expensive for what's been done so far. And very true about the upstairs being difficult for older people to negotiate the stairs. Good to have the space underneath though.
Seeing this uncle of damo's first time. He must be thankful and proud of himself for quitting alcohol, very few people are able to quit alcohol and other kind of addiction, did they lose his son to alcohol?
Oh ryan, what was the name of the translation device you used in one of your videos with damo? I said to myself i would remember it, i knew i should have saved the video aha i cant seem to find it scrolling through your channel so thought i would ask 😆
When damo said you can sell a chicken for 80 baht to the market. Did she mean sell it to the end customer or sell it someone else who has a stall and will up the price a bit and resell?
Self proficiency is a merit these days I think. We've come to the point where convenience and the relience thereof is used =against= the people. It takes skill and careful planning to live completely off grid I could not imagine to be without electricity for even half a day. A lot going on in the rice machine.. takes you right back to the 1st industrial revolution :=)
Hi Ryan did you ask them why they built such a big house for the two of them and why they wouldn't of built something like your house at a lot else and could have a nice comfortable life at the time of life when you want to be slowing down a bit
That seems awful expensive for a house of that size and quality...Then again we all get to spend our money as we choose.. Was he including the purchase price of the Land also?
I'm so glad for him to stop drinking alcoholic drinks or else something will happen to his body without any helping hands. Including his decision by earning money is the best by a Christian man who also info about it too. Now his whole body is getting wealthy & healthy like drinking by adding milk to make his body more strong. Now I'm glad that his enjoying his own positive decision on how to earn more money for making his house like yours by enjoying his animal sounds including looking at the plants that's his making and caring about it too.
Boozing never leads to anything good. Temporary euphoria and loud mouthed boisterousness is about as good as it gets. Then the cringe making memories of the night before creep into your consciousness.
Everyone is different, I enjoy my alcohol and have not been drunk nor woke up with a hangover in over 40 years. It is up to the individual to ensure they do not over indulge or become an alcoholic and it is also up to the individual how they react when intoxicated.
@@DiscoDrew Yeah, you ''say'' everything in moderation... but I've yet to meet a drinker who sticks to that. In fact drinking is immoderate by its very nature. Moderate people don't imbibe intoxicants. Moderate people are sober. Drunks make excuses for their drinking. They deny the problem. Just like you.
Thanks for watching guys!

Aww Damo's mom and uncle look so much alike. Love this beautiful family!
Thank you Chris 🙏🙏

Beautiful natural people well done to them both and him kicking alcohol addiction is fantastic thank you Ryan and Damo
So humbling to see what is acheived with the small finances they have and the hard work they put it. Love watching your channel.

If he doesn't ask the builders in the village, they are offended and won't bring their rice.

Many Isaan villagers have a big lesson to the world.... thanks for the video.
Loved that vlog, my dreams when I retire to Thailand (if I live that long🤞). Could listen to Damo explain all day, very instructive. Thank you🙏
Very Wholesome video Ryan, Love to see stuff like this. I love being around my Thai wifes family and seeing how people live and go about their day to day business. There new house being built looks great, will be good to see how they finish it.
Great story and cinematography.👍🙏🎥 Health and happiness to you all. 💖🙂🏡🌴☀🌏
Excellent stuff. Great to see the uncle keeping busy. And us old folks like to do stuff just to see if we can. 🤣👍😇❤️
It is sad, that alcoholism is so widespread in rural Tailand as one bottle of laokau 35-40% cost less than a bottle of beer.
Question please: One solar panel cost 3-4000,-B That is 12-15000,- for the three panels. What made the thing cost 50000,- ???
Invertor, pump, cables, installation, frame
@@lifeinruralthailand ... ok, thx. My father in law is a very poor ricefarmer near Nong Khai. He paid 21000 for exactly the same
Brilliant guy - watch and ask questions in order to learn...
Thank you guys for introducing us to your family and for sharing their journey : )
Great video guys. Very interesting to see how Damo's Uncle lives. You described the new house excellently, with your points you made. It is expensive for what's been done so far. And very true about the upstairs being difficult for older people to negotiate the stairs. Good to have the space underneath though.
โห ... ผมอยู่ในเมืองคอนกรีตนานจนลืมบ้านนาไปหมดแล้ว ... คิดถึงจัง
Thank you for brilliant video. ❤❤
Seeing this uncle of damo's first time. He must be thankful and proud of himself for quitting alcohol, very few people are able to quit alcohol and other kind of addiction, did they lose his son to alcohol?
THUMBS UP To that older gentleman He's awesome !!!
What a lovely heartwarming vlog They are just an amazing, wonderful couple Thank you
Very interesting video and loved hearing the elders speaking in Thai. Beautiful people ❤
Oh ryan, what was the name of the translation device you used in one of your videos with damo? I said to myself i would remember it, i knew i should have saved the video aha i cant seem to find it scrolling through your channel so thought i would ask 😆
Beautiful content, thank you
deep respect for this family. thank you for the share.

Damo's Aunt and Uncle seem like very nice people, He is very clever also

Reminds me of my uncles in Klong Lan back in the 80's....
This video was extremely interesting. Hope he can finish his house and still have time to live in it.
Very interesting video! Thank you!
When damo said you can sell a chicken for 80 baht to the market. Did she mean sell it to the end customer or sell it someone else who has a stall and will up the price a bit and resell?
such dignity and wisdom born of hard work and effort.
Fish in the pond? I saw a dock to fish from! Great content.
My wifes family have a similar machine ,not as big but similar ,its in songhkla
Self proficiency is a merit these days I think.
We've come to the point where convenience and the relience thereof is used =against= the people.
It takes skill and careful planning to live completely off grid
I could not imagine to be without electricity for even half a day.
A lot going on in the rice machine.. takes you right back to the 1st industrial revolution :=)
I think houses built on high support beams is made to avoid floods
Yes that’s true 👍
Brilliant video thanks for sharing, so interesting 👍
That blues riff was killer.
Absolutely amazing and inspiring. I watched this one and now feel really lazy. Don't know whether I should laugh or cry lol.
fascinating clip... a new world, and so nice, simple people. they can be proud ❤
❤🙏🏼That was really interesting. Demo’s Uncle is very clever. Have a great week. ❤✨💞💞💞💞
Cool place……creating their own space and dwelling to escape the madness of their son. Wise old man.
Great video yet again.
I see much of Damo’s mother in his face, the eyes and the grin.
Is there any 12 step meetings local to you guys Ryan ?? ✌🏼❤️
Hi Ryan did you ask them why they built such a big house for the two of them and why they wouldn't of built something like your house at a lot else and could have a nice comfortable life at the time of life when you want to be slowing down a bit
I thought the same but assume they want to leave a legacy for their grandkids etc
Another great video
Thanks for creating and sharing, have a nice day
Awesome, thank you ❤
Very creative guy,making big things using simple methods,I've undeveloped farm,I think I will go his way and develop my own off grid farm🙏🙏

Brilliant video
That seems awful expensive for a house of that size and quality...Then again we all get to spend our money as we choose.. Was he including the purchase price of the Land also?
Love your vlogs.
The house is 150k maximum not 800k
The solar is 15k not 50k
But great video as usual. Thanks 🙏
I love how people live like that. Have money built no money not built I think a great way to live
Them people will try do something to get a reward stay safe
Makes a $1 per bag and saves 3/4 of it. That's a life lesson right there.
Wow! Only 80 baht/kg. I just bought 380 baht/kg in Bangkok 😋😋😋

OMG he is so clever, an engineer with no education or training !

Speak for yourself.
Everything in moderation I say!
its sad just how many of these Thai men are alcoholics in the villages & I guess elsewhere
Alcohol is a horrible addiction.
Everyone is different, I enjoy my alcohol and have not been drunk nor woke up with a hangover in over 40 years. It is up to the individual to ensure they do not over indulge or become an alcoholic and it is also up to the individual how they react when intoxicated.

As always interesting to watch you’re videos 👍
Trying to wrap my head around the mathematics of the price for the fat pig though 😂
Smart village man he learned by stealing someone else their talents 👍
ก็ขอให้ลุงมีสูขภาพที่ดีและดูแลตัวเอง 🤲❤
นี้เเละคือชีวิตที่ใช้หลักเศรษฐกิจพอเพียง😮
Very nice couple And Thai couple.
