This is YOUR channel, YOUR time and money being spent....you need not justify anything to anyone here....There's wayyyyy more of us who appreciate, support and are thankful for what you do.....Let the haters talk, it helps the algorithm 🙏
Haters is a Haters someone who is offered an iPhone and to send $159 for postage only told to send another $80.. I'm still awaiting my winning prize. This bloke is a scammer. You can see in his face he has changed for the worse.
I've been to Thailand 9 times in the past 20 years, my best friend has lived over there for over 10 years now and with a little help from Chris and Andrew and all their connections, he's now a property owner in Koh Samui and couldn't be happier. I had the pleasure of meeting Chris, Adam, Andrew and a bunch of their family and friends over Christmas and I can you tell you one thing, Chris is as genuine a human being as they come, he's the real deal. The whole RWFY gang is amazing and if you ever get a chance to meet them, work with them, contribute to the "Pay it Forward" projects or just break out of your daily grind and get to Thailand to experience something new and different, I highly recommend it! Keep up the good work brother!!
You're one of a kind Chris! Your love of Thailand is infectious. Keep up the good work and never let that one negative and obviously jealous person spoil what you are doing. Cheers, Stef
Keep on doing whatever works for you Chris. Those of us who have been following from the beginning really appreciate what you do, the channel, the content, the fun stuff, the silly stuff, the interesting places, exotic foods, bars, cool stuff, saving the elephants, helping kids, and contributing to the Thai community. Thank you for immersing us in what it's like there. Much appreciated!
My wife and I have traveled to Thailand over 5 times from Oz over the past 20 years. Despite our travel experience and knowledge of the country, we still enjoy your VLOG. As Warren Buffett says... just keep on doing what you love! :-)
I am Thai thank you for doing what you love in Thailand and showing it to us. Even though many of the episodes were not true to the essence of traveling or living in Thailand. But it is a guideline or starting point that introduces Thailand to the world to know the story of Thailand. Wish you a happy stay in Thailand…
I spent 6 weeks in Thailand back in 2017 and I absolutely love the country. Amazing people, beautiful culture, great food, incredible temples, inspiring innovation, cool places… Thanks for sharing your experiences and your love for Thailand. Don’t worry about the haters. Have a blessed weekend!
Keep going, Chris. Love your channel, mate. Don't worry about negative comments because this channel is full of positive messages and full of love about Thailand.
Full support on what you’re doing from Norway! Your honest enthusiasm is unquestionable. I’m new to your channel, but share your love of Thailand since my first visit in 1976….
You’re truly an ambassador for Thailand! You’ve turned on people to the greatest country in the world! And entertain the ones that have the Thai yellow fever but can’t be there full time.❤️🇹🇭🌶 keep it up!
I think the secret to your video's is that it's always giving back to the Thai community and showing people such as myself that there is so much more going on than the usual 9 - 5. We especially loved your trip to the school in Northern Thailand, even my parents who are past travelling were taken by this video. Anyone wasting their time posting negative comments need to remember that the channel is also employing a number of local Thais now. Hopefully we'll be back at the end of this year.
I follow you from day 1. Sometime i miss the times when you had 3000 followers and walk in the park during covid. You kept our hopes up. Now you so big so clever and you set the standard for all of us. But i love to watch your content. So positive❤
I am a Thai person who follow your every activity in your youtube chanel. I'm glad that you love Thailand and thai people and we love you very much too. wish you happiness All activities that have been done in Thailand I will follow you and always cheering you on
I've been travelling back and forth to Thailand for over 20 years (inc. 5 years as a resident), and this is the only Thailand channel that I subscribe to; it's because true enthusiasm is impossible to fake and I would rather watch someone who is focused on quality content than pleasing sponsors. There must be a few people with short memories that 'forget' about the pay it forward videos and all the good Chris and his team contribute to the people of Thailand. Keep up the good work!
@@RetiredWorkingForYou Since mentioning I just remembered those videos too. Remember this one day we all die, don’t take someone’s word to accountability
Keep it going Chris, your channel is too nice! You're positive, self-reflected and humble. Didn't take you long to become my favourite youtuber. Booked my flight to Thailand already and all of your videos make me more excited about it :) Thanks for all the positive input! Greetings from Germany 👋
Great video brother, I just moved here in February and everything you talk about on your channel is true, I never want to leave. I'm 76 years old retired from USA and I never flew in a plane before but the 24 hour flight was more than worth it. Keep making your awesome videos 😊
Oh Chris, your videos have been an excape for me. When I come home after a long day of work, and look at your videos and say " ALMOST THERE!!" to myself Your videos give me the goal and the purpose so please keep doing them ! :) Love from California
Thank you for doing this. My wife and I grew up in Thailand for the first sixteen years of our lives before moving to the USA and spent forty years+ in Pennsylvania, Texas. Etc. We love both countries but fell foreign to Thailand since we spent most of our life in the USA. Your clips really connect us with our childhood memories and we are loving it. Several time every year, when we visit Thailand, we are looking forward to visit new places in your RUclips clips. Thank you again for doing what you are doing. It gives us happiness to watch your clips and we are and will be your supporters. ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Hey Chris, I rarely make comments on RUclips videos, but as a fellow Canuck I felt that I needed to show my support. Over the course of the Pandemic, I’ve witness you put your blood, sweat, and tears into this channel. I’ve laughed to the point of tears at your jokes and I’ve been touched at the philanthropy you’ve displayed. I’m about 25 years from retirement, but I know where I’ll be living when I do 😉. Don’t listen to all the naysayers making negative comments while you’re spreading positivity. Keep promoting Thailand, keep promoting your tours, and keep giving back to the community, You are truly appreciated! All the best! Jason N.
I love your comment haha and it’s true people just want to rant the next thing they do maybe go out drinking they will forget about what they said already. Just do what you love and I am sure most of you here have common sense of what’s good or not. But then again who am I to judge, who drew the lines? The only think made me mad about this is I am half Thai living in paradise why cannot I do better. You are inspirational and no one is big enough to make everyone happy! For myself I try to make my family and my family happy first that is my goal for now. I am now 10 years away from retirement 😉 and I hope to retire by 39 if thing goes accordingly to plan. *sent from Iphone 14 Pro max with 0 % loan 10 months 😚
Forget the haters, not worth your time. Keep on doing what you do, I love your videos and are very useful. I'm in Thailand right now, love learning the culture. 🙂
I bet a big part of what the group of people that you showed around noticed, is how much you love Thailand and your enthusiasm. For them to say it's a "Trip of a Lifetime" is the ultimate best compliment to the tour guide❗️
I have 1 word to describe you: LEGEND!❤ I love your videos. I introduced my dad to your videos & now he’s a fan. We both love your enthusiasm and love for beautiful amazing Thailand 🇹🇭. Keep up the great work ⭐️😎
Wherever you go you take yourself with you. You come through with honesty, integrity, consideration, a love of Thailand and a way to help others enjoy it. You make the person in personal for most of your subscribers by giving them a reason to stick with you. They give you their time and attention and you return that with value that makes others feel valued.
You are a foreigner's channel that broadcasts the beauty of Thailand. In a corner that foreigners have never seen and don't understand, as I am a Thai person, I thank you very much for creating this channel.
Hi Chris, I have watched your videos for a while now. My Brother stumbled across Thailand while backpacking across Asia and said it was one of the best places he's ever been to, since then my parents visited Thailand after my Dad retired and enjoyed traveling Thailand and holidaying in Koh Samui for a years pre pandemic. I've never been, but I watch your videos and enjoy you showing the real Thailand, market tours, hidden gems etc. Once my Daughter is older it's going to be our first family holiday and I really look forward to it. Please continue doing your fantastic videos, thank you for all your awesome content. We love ya too!
Chris, there is no crime nor should there be guilt in being entrepreneurial. The way I see it is that through your work you are providing an easier way for people to access a glimpse of a possible different life and pace and experience than western living. At the very least people will get a chance to live and have once in a lifetime experiences if making a life shift to them isn't what they are looking for. I'm also Canadian and went to Asia/Thailand for the first time late last year and early this year and was absolutely blown away and amazed by my experience there, I loved it. My spouse is Thai so the experience was much easy for me in terms of language and cultural adjustments (she did most of the talking lol). I myself am seriously considering making the move to Thailand. Keep up the great work and sharing your passions for Thailand and what it has to offer. Cheers from Vancouver, love the channel.
It’s easy to look and see what you and your team are all about. The problem is that it’s even easier to not look. You all do an amazing job, no justification needed. Period. Stay awesome ❤🙏🏻
We’ve been following you since 2020!!! Before COVID! And absolutely still love you to this day. Love your energy, love Thailand, love your videos, love your humor and love you! Screw the haters :) we all love you!
I have gone through similar analysis. I am Thai who used to live in North America for 12 years. Now, I have. been back to Thailand since 2016. I share the same sentiments with you Chris. Thailand is the best place to live on Earth. And I also share the same idea that mainly it is because of Buddhism and Thailand can preserve our ways of lives because Thailand has never been colonized.
Yep, because of buddha teaching,this land on earth is a the best place for living even the poor guys have to work hard but no violence with discrimination.
So everyone studies Buddhism? Even the young people? I’ve started studying it myself and my whole life has improved. I can see how it keeps many negative emotions to a minimum. Probably why the people are so friendly there. I can’t wait to visit.
@@KK-sg5gl Yeah it is a subject in school but that is nothing when compared with the way of Buddhism weaved into our daily lives, our thoughts, our mindsets, and our beliefs, that we, Thai people, have learned.
Chris, as a guy who has been to Thailand a few times I feel like a brand new bright eyed traveler every time I watch videos on your channel. You have shown me so many new and exciting places to go and sights to see from a whole new perspective. I appreciate your sense of humor, your informative news in 60 secs, and your willingness to give back to a community and country that has given you so much. So tell the haters to kick rocks, when you have them it means your doing something right. Keep logging those trips around the Sun. I sure will, and as a guy who bought a condo there because of your influence, I will be doing it there soon. Hope to meet you in person to say Thanks personally!
Hi guys. First off, we love you and all the hard work you put into promoting Thailand and its people. If people don’t like what you are doing, then they can switch to another RUclipsr. So you promote tours, real estate and Teenee app- but if you don’t want to use them, then don’t, no one’s forcing folks to use these services. You have a team, their expenses need to be paid - so your services help to pay these costs. What the moaners don’t mention is the pay it forward events (ok not events but you know what I mean) that really help people who are struggling and just need a bit of help getting back on their feet- a hand up not a hand out. Ok rant over! You guys are doing great and hopefully I can buy you all a Leo or two sometime.
Chris, you are human after all and those negative idiots go and watch trains go by. Chris, you are the person that people will look up to and your channel provides all of us with the content we need to move around this beautiful country. So please my dear friend do not worry about those few low-lives because they have nothing more to do but leave negative comments. Be well and safe.
The majority of RUclips watchers that find value and really take advice are lurkers. For years I’ve never interacted with content online but I’m always watching and it gives me so much value. I started watching your videos just before I went out to Thailand in December and the advice and experience that you and other Thailand RUclipsrs have shared was so helpful. I sub to the Thailand weekly newsletter and definitely going to jump on the members group. No doubt in my mind that your yours are incredible and seeing Thailand in this way is how people really experience Thailand. I made friends whilst in Rawai and a local Thai gave me a tour on the back of a bike, showed me around Phuket, we ate, went out and I just got the real feel for Thailand. I could be wrong here but I don’t think most westerners understand the tour type of thing. I found it a bit odd at first but once you’re in Thailand it’s just completely normal and gives you the opportunity to meet new people, make friends and really embrace Thai culture and the way of living. Sabai sabai 🙏🏼 Bit of a long winded comment but I thought I’d drop my experience. If you’re considering going to Thailand just go, don’t think about it. Go on a tour and explore!
We love your channel from the very beginning, keep it going! We have watched every single video and enjoyed Thailand from them as well as visiting Thailand. Cheers from Boise, Idaho!
I hear you Chris. And for the record I love what you do and I really appreciate the effort you put in. Arriving in Bangkok in a week and feel very excited thanks to what I’ve seen from your vlogs.
I’m so thankful to you and Adam for promoting Thailand the way you do. Please stay positive. There are tons of people, expats-Thais-tourists, really appreciate your work.😊❤🇹🇭
Chris you are a fine person with the heart in the right place. For Thailand lovers and people who experience Asia or Thailand for the first time you are a good inspiration. Chris, please keep up the good work. Thanks for everything. Cheers from Germany… Uwe
Hey Chris, I've never commented on a video before but was compelled too this time. Dude, you're a delight. For those wounded individuals who fill their emptiness by spraying negativity please get over your issues and give yourself a hug - come join the rest of us. It is perfectly fine to be building business with social good intentions also. Chris, if you're reading any of these comments - you brighten the day with these videos. You've also partly inspired a pastey-white Scotsman to visit several times and now I'm relocating. I was into it anyway, but this was confirmation - that wee extra push and a meaningful one. Aw Ra Best folks.
Been roaming around Koh Samui for the last week and must say your app Teenee has been a life saver. Thanks a lot for the hard work you put in. Here for another week or so, looking forward to bump in to you randomly in Bangrak. Would be an absolute dream if that happens.
Keep doing what you're doing...been to Thailand twice 2018 and 2019 and if COVID didn't happen I probably would have gone in 2020..I love that place and your videos make me love it even more. Sending love from South Africa 😄💖
You go boy! You already know how much you are loved and appreciated . What you do , how you do it and the keiretsu of companies that you are building around the love of Thailand touches so many people. You are one of a kind. Let the haters do their job and let it roll right off your shoulders. There are so few of them but I want to thank whoever wrote the comment that spurred the making of this video because those of us that support and love everything you do love videos like this just showing you as the only attraction. And yes that trip last week was magical and those of us that were on it felt that spark too and it’s cool as hell. Thanks Chris for everything and just keep doing what you do best: BE YOU. The next 3 years are going to be epic . Carry on !
Because of you and your Thailand loving video’s, my husband and I got to experience the beauty of a wonderful country!!! I am currently nagging beyond measure to come back and get some more Thailand !!! Keep on spreading your message!! From one Canadian to another ❤😊
Chris shame you had to share your vulnerable side, but thank you! You do a fab job and having met you breifly at The Sands Sea Resort in Railay you are nothing short of genuine! Jack and I wouldnt have visited Thailand if it wasn't for you and we certainly wouldn't have already booked our 2024 one way ticket! Keep doing what you do and hope to see you in the flesh again next time ❤
I and my family wanna thanks you on how you've helped promote Thailand. We appreciate it. Please keep doing as long as you're happy with it. We love your videos and we really really apprciate how you love our country 😊🙏
Hell yeah Chris! Been following your channel since push up days. You’re one of the most respected Thailand RUclipsr out right now, don’t let the haters get you down. As to your point; I’ve always dreamed of bringing my friends or family to Thailand just to see their faces as their world view explodes. One day. I think the reason for what you’re doing is amazing and life changing. Keep it up.
Well Chris.. I have been here since the beginning..as a Canadian I have been very proud to watch everything you have GIVEN to the pay it forward activities thru covid, your generosity to Thai's in need, schools, children and especially the animals... I must admit I have lost my way on your channel lately as the focus to paying it forward seems to have faded away...my dream was yes to visit Thailand.. one of only a handful of countries in the world I haven't visited and to aid in your pay it forward efforts... but from an outward appearance your focus seemed to change to monetization of the channel ... don't get me wrong.. one day I hope to avail my self of the things you have put in place, and I understand people like your nephew and others need to eat and live... so I get it.. I LOST CONNECTION , not you.. here I sit in Bancroft Ontario Canada, watching the insanity of our world ... waiting, wanting and hoping that one day I can visit Thailand not as a tourist, but as a contributer to a pay it forward campaign, as a Canadian helping others.. my dream, visit the animal shelter and donate carts and supplies to the Dog Mafia...that would make a Trip to Thailand the kind of experience I would love to see and be part of Giving Back, Pay it forward tourism... thanks Ted Lennox
Hi Chris, anybody that watches your channel on a regular basis will know of your love & respect of Thailand. Your enthusiasm shines through in every frame of your vlogs. Your intentions are good, the videos are a joy to watch and I couldn't think of any better reason or ways of enjoying your retirement. You obviously have the resources and the ability to do these things, there's nothing wrong in giving a little of the love you have for Thailand, a place you've made your home, back to the people, whether it's to farang RUclips viewers or the Thai children in the schools you've visited in the past. I remember watching in admiration when the world had come to a standstill, you found ways of helping the ordinary Thais who had nothing: no work, no income, no food, during the dreaded Covid pandemic. If other's can't see or understand your intentions, or more probably, refuse to see, it says more about their mentally as a person than it does about you and you team. Keep up the good work and heck, there's nothing wrong with having a bit of a laugh along thw way either. I, for one, would certainly like to buy you a Leo next time I'm in Thailand... ...if only I knew of a RUclips channel that gave away freebie flights!!!?
You do a great job Chris. Exposing people to new places and showing them places you love is noble. If you do that through a business or pro bono makes no difference. I have been to Thailand. I have visited some of your favorite places, not through your channel but by coincidence. I am currently in Vietnam. While touring the North met some young women from Europe who are volunteering to help the people of Vietnam. I was thrilled to point them in directions of Vietnam that I love . I think of your trip to the North of Thailand and the wonderful group building schools . If this is how you make money, I hope you do very well . I hope to meet you someday. Best wishes to you and your family!!!
you explain why its worth traveling in your videos. thailand is one part of the world and people dont need to just head to thailand but understand that just saying yes to yourself and taking the risk of putting yourself out there in another part of the world with a different culture and language is something you will never regret. thailand is definitely worth the visit and its something that holds a special place in my heart and i can NOT wait to head back. hope you do another meet up chris i would like to meet ya and share our of love for thailand and maybe i could show you a place i truly love and maybe you havent visit. :)
Mate I recently started viewing your vids and have subscribed, will try and catch up for a coffee when I get to Thailand ( retiring soon) Please do NOT stop what you are doing , you have been an inspiration to me to make the plunge .
Everybody has their reasons. No one place in this world is "perfect", so you choose what works best for you. As my wife and I are in our mid 40s, working professionals, in the USA, and childless, we have been discussing what happens when we retire...when we walk away from our corporate careers. Increasingly, we are looking at places like Thailand. My wife is originally from Vietnam, but we see Thailand (and Chiang Mai) better fitting our needs as we grow older. We get Western convenience, but are also close enough to family in Vietnam. We also have a place well within our budget for retirement regarding Thailand. So, that is our rationale. When we hit 50 years old, we are going to execute on it...4-5 years from now .. subject to a review on feasibility.
Retire early is a blessing. Met many retirees in the golf course in Spain and one main statement was : I wish had retire early. I retired at 50 and travelled the world and I am not loaded with cash but comfortable.
Chris, you kept many of us dreaming about our return to Thailand during Covid and built a fantastic community for us all to be part of. Thailand is so much a part of my life that it is hard not to share my enthusiasm with everyone. I am like you I just want everyone to experience our beloved country. I am returning next week with a group of 10 friends eager to show them everything I love. They have been watching your videos and they are all very excited. You are a true ambassador to Thailand! I am proud to be a RW4U - BOD. .
Your passion and commitment is infectious, I’ve no doubt many subscribers have visited Thailand for the first time after being hooked through RW4U and what you’ve done for the Thai people over the last 3 years is truly incredible and deserves wider recognition. The best thing I ever did on You Tube was click subscribe to your channel!
You bring so much joy to so many people, I personally love your personality and craziness in your videos there are to many people sad people out there who want to suck the life out of life.just remember you can’t please everybody all the time 🤷
My wife and I love your videos. We have been to Thailand several times and can't wait to come back. We enjoy hearing your perspective and getting new ideas for things to try. Keep up the good work. Next time we are there, your next beer is on us!
It all makes perfect sense. And keep doing what you do. Everything is improving (and particularly the comedy). I feel bad for people who manage to leave negative comments on your videos. They must have really shitty lives.
👋🏼Hey Chris! Just want to say “Your channel is amazing! We’ve been with you since darn near the beginning and we will be here till the end! We love everything on this channel from the push ups, pay it forwards, to tours, to meet ups (which we still need to get to one), to the Korean content, to all the people you’ve introduced to the world, to the 60 seconds in Thailand news, to the down to earth good ol’ Canadian boy! Don’t ever change keep doing you and screw the haters! These snowflakes love to complain about everything and you can’t let it get to you! You have done nothing wrong! ♥️🇨🇦🍻cheers to you🍻and one day getting together for a few cold bevy’s on Samui🍻
I totally agree with you Chris. I lived in Thailand for 25-years and it always bugged me that I could not figure out how to let others know there is a whole world out there that is different than the cultures and societies people grow up in. Different in a positive way and contrary to ideas that America, for example, is the best country. Far too many people never get the chance to leave what they have grown used to so they can explore what else is out there. I also saw the live and let live attitude in Thailand and it was refreshing to see all the smiles and positive vibes that type of view generated. Your message is being heard loud and clear so please don't question any need you might have to make money that enables you to keep getting the message across. I'm sure many people have not only enjoyed your videos but learned a lot of positive things they may have never discovered. Thanks for that Chris and keep growing the channel. There will always be negative people with nothing better to do than try and make others as miserable as they are. Comes with the territory so don't let it get to you.
Hey Chris just wanted to let you know that we truly appreciate you. We watched a half dozen of you videos and booked a month trip yo Thailand. Went to Bangkok, Chaing Mai, Pai and now ending our last week in Ko Samui. We will definitely be reaching out when we get back to the states fir our next trip ❤
I completely do not believe Chris started this channel to make money. His first video was him doing pushups, not many though. There was not a thought it would be like it is today. As his channel grew a brand new business grew. Chris has an addictive personality that not many of us could match. I am sure there are 100's of people that look at Chris and think, "Ya I would love to be doing videos like you". Chris has that special ingredient, that je ne squa kwa that makes it work. He does not push anything on to anyone, he just presents it in a nonchalant way and it is up to us if that is what we want. The way he shows Thailand is incredible because it shows everyone what it is like and that we can do it to with or without him. I am sure it would make his day to receive some pics of a place that he featured and you were there and said thanks. I feel that Thailand is an incredible country with amazing people and I love that he features that.
I'm Thai, living in Thailand. I love watching your videos so much I haven't missed a single clip and thank you Chris for making such a great video. Presenting the best places in Thailand
I’ve been to Thailand for first time back in November, returning in July for 2 weeks, loved Bangkok. I’m from USA Minnesota, Thailand people friendliest people I’ve ever met, can’t wait to go back, and love your videos, very helpful, look forward to everyone you make! Keep up the great videos!
Keep doing what you’re doing dude. I’ve been here 20 years and you are so authentic. Love your wife and your nephew and all the best - everyone needs to make a living
I just got back from Thailand. Was there through most of November. Was in Bankok, then Pattaya, then Phuket, then back in Bankok. I was there for my cousins wedding (He married a Thai woman and the wedding was in Thailand). I, like many had been looking into visiting SE Asia, but never took action. My cousins wedding was the event that finally pushed me to make it happen. I had never been out of the USA other than Vancouver BC. Just like the creator of this video states, make it happen and at least visit once. My trip was great. I definitely learned a lot, so some time was spent learning the ropes, and if I visited again it would go much smoother. Bet even so, my trip was exactly as good as I expected. Watching videos from creators like this channel helped me so much, and I am grateful for these videos. Have an open mind on your trip and don't get to stressed, just roll with whatever comes. Plan your days out, but don't sweat it if things don't go to plan. I actually wanted to go to Vietnam, and for my next trip I want to try another SE Asian country. But I had so much fun in Thailand that part of me wants to go back. Sitting here is the sub zero Wisconsin weather...............I miss the 90 degree heat, putting my hotel room key fob in the wall to turn on room electricity, the 80 baht street food, the gauntlet of massage lady's heckling me walking to and from my hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 1 alley, tuc tuc guys over charging me, scooter taxi rides fearing my arms would get torn off on a car mirror, the obstacle course that is the sidewalks, Sing Ha beer, shopping malls so big you can get lost in them, markets everywhere, guys on scooters driving the wrong way on a one way street because they don't want to go around the block, challenging communication with people who know like 4 words of English, and most of all the Thai people, who were very busy with their own lives, but would be gracious, respectful and helpful if you ever needed them.
Hey Chris been watching your channel since during the first lock down - the work you did supporting the Thai people during those tough times was truly inspirational - I bought t shirts etc to help with the cause and I found the videos a really wonderful. Keep doing what you are doing and the larger the channel gets it going to attract some doubters but it will be massively out numbered with all of us who think you are great . Am currently planning our trip to Thailand next feb and this is partly down to you and you’re great videos . Keep going man , big love from Brighton England
Hi Chris! I was one of the early adopters to RW4U and I have to mention that it's been and no doubt will continue to be some of the most uplifting things I see online. Especially the periodic "Shining" comparisons. Just sayin. What you, Andrew, and the Team have accomplished in "building things to enhance people's Thailand experience" is so much more than the the physical tours, real estate, and general insights. Every time we see you on a video, you share a friendly optimism that creates possibilities about Thailand...possibilities that allow people like me to dream a bit about making my way to the Land of Smiles. Through your videos I've learned about Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pai, Koh Samui and of course THE FOOD! I'll close with this...these dreams will become a reality in October of 2023, and much of that is due to your efforts, your storytelling, and just being a good dude. Simply, thank you Chris.

My wife used to study at this university. We live currently in the UK. I visited this university last year, went to see dentist on campus as well. :)
This is YOUR channel, YOUR time and money being spent....you need not justify anything to anyone here....There's wayyyyy more of us who appreciate, support and are thankful for what you do.....Let the haters talk, it helps the algorithm 🙏
Well said! Some people are just losers! Grown ups need to make money! Love this channel.

I personally really feel the frank strait-forewords style. Keep up the good work.
Let's not beat around the bush and act like this dude actually likes Thailand for anything other than pussy lmao
Haters is a Haters someone who is offered an iPhone and to send $159 for postage only told to send another $80.. I'm still awaiting my winning prize. This bloke is a scammer. You can see in his face he has changed for the worse.
As Thai people, I don't know how much thank you I can say for what you did for Thailand but thanks a million for your hard work on this. 🙏🙏
As a Thai, I love you so much and thank a million times for what you have done to Thailand.❤

You're one of a kind Chris! Your love of Thailand is infectious. Keep up the good work and never let that one negative and obviously jealous person spoil what you are doing. Cheers, Stef
thanks Stef!
As a Stef, I wholeheartedly agree.
@@RetiredWorkingForYou I'm going to the Thai embassy to get your visa looked into and your iPhone scam . Hopefully your deported
Thanks
Keep on doing whatever works for you Chris. Those of us who have been following from the beginning really appreciate what you do, the channel, the content, the fun stuff, the silly stuff, the interesting places, exotic foods, bars, cool stuff, saving the elephants, helping kids, and contributing to the Thai community. Thank you for immersing us in what it's like there. Much appreciated!
My wife and I have traveled to Thailand over 5 times from Oz over the past 20 years. Despite our travel experience and knowledge of the country, we still enjoy your VLOG. As Warren Buffett says... just keep on doing what you love! :-)
Well said!
I am Thai thank you for doing what you love in Thailand and showing it to us. Even though many of the episodes were not true to the essence of traveling or living in Thailand. But it is a guideline or starting point that introduces Thailand to the world to know the story of Thailand. Wish you a happy stay in Thailand…
I spent 6 weeks in Thailand back in 2017 and I absolutely love the country. Amazing people, beautiful culture, great food, incredible temples, inspiring innovation, cool places… Thanks for sharing your experiences and your love for Thailand. Don’t worry about the haters. Have a blessed weekend!
Love u from thailand.
Keep going, Chris. Love your channel, mate. Don't worry about negative comments because this channel is full of positive messages and full of love about Thailand.
Full support on what you’re doing from Norway! Your honest enthusiasm is unquestionable. I’m new to your channel, but share your love of Thailand since my first visit in 1976….
from France
I'm Thai. I was born in 1975. Thanks to visited Thailand and we are warm welcome sir. ❤
I can see nothing wrong in making a business out of one’s passion. That is very often how great things start…
You’re truly an ambassador for Thailand! You’ve turned on people to the greatest country in the world! And entertain the ones that have the Thai yellow fever but can’t be there full time.❤️🇹🇭🌶 keep it up!

Keep doing you. We love it
thanks for that!
I think the secret to your video's is that it's always giving back to the Thai community and showing people such as myself that there is so much more going on than the usual 9 - 5. We especially loved your trip to the school in Northern Thailand, even my parents who are past travelling were taken by this video. Anyone wasting their time posting negative comments need to remember that the channel is also employing a number of local Thais now. Hopefully we'll be back at the end of this year.
I follow you from day 1. Sometime i miss the times when you had 3000 followers and walk in the park during covid. You kept our hopes up. Now you so big so clever and you set the standard for all of us. But i love to watch your content. So positive❤
I am a Thai person who follow your every activity in your youtube chanel. I'm glad that you love Thailand and thai people and we love you very much too. wish you happiness All activities that have been done in Thailand I will follow you and always cheering you on
I've been travelling back and forth to Thailand for over 20 years (inc. 5 years as a resident), and this is the only Thailand channel that I subscribe to; it's because true enthusiasm is impossible to fake and I would rather watch someone who is focused on quality content than pleasing sponsors. There must be a few people with short memories that 'forget' about the pay it forward videos and all the good Chris and his team contribute to the people of Thailand. Keep up the good work!
wow, thanks for those kind words!
You are right, he has done the best job for Thai people. I love him.
Watching for about two years now. Couldn't have said it better! ❤😂
@@RetiredWorkingForYou Since mentioning I just remembered those videos too. Remember this one day we all die, don’t take someone’s word to accountability
As a Thai, im so thankful for what you been doing in this channel.
Thank you Chris for loving our country.
Love what you are doing Chris, you are an embassador to Thailand. Your work has created value for allot of folks as I see. Keep it up! 🙌🏼🎉
I appreciate that!
😊🎉
Simply put , thanks for your videos, it makes my day watching it at times
Keep it going Chris, your channel is too nice! You're positive, self-reflected and humble. Didn't take you long to become my favourite youtuber. Booked my flight to Thailand already and all of your videos make me more excited about it :) Thanks for all the positive input! Greetings from Germany 👋
I appreciate that!
Great video brother, I just moved here in February and everything you talk about on your channel is true, I never want to leave. I'm 76 years old retired from USA and I never flew in a plane before but the 24 hour flight was more than worth it. Keep making your awesome videos 😊
Oh Chris, your videos have been an excape for me. When I come home after a long day of work, and look at your videos and say " ALMOST THERE!!" to myself Your videos give me the goal and the purpose so please keep doing them ! :) Love from California
thanks Cali!
same, I ascape the cruel world and watch Chris video so some others too..
Chris......You and your Team....''Rock"".......Thank You for Sharing your Love for Thailand! Amen besos xoxoxo
ขอบคุณสำหรับทุกอย่างที่คุณนำเสนอในทุกมุมมอง ฉันชอบมันดีมาก โปรดทำต่อไปฉันรอดูและติดตามคุณเสมอ รักจากประเทศไทย ❤️🇹🇭
Thank you for doing this. My wife and I grew up in Thailand for the first sixteen years of our lives before moving to the USA and spent forty years+ in Pennsylvania, Texas. Etc. We love both countries but fell foreign to Thailand since we spent most of our life in the USA. Your clips really connect us with our childhood memories and we are loving it. Several time every year, when we visit Thailand, we are looking forward to visit new places in your RUclips clips. Thank you again for doing what you are doing. It gives us happiness to watch your clips and we are and will be your supporters. ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Thanks you. I love you too, small sound from Thailand ^_^
Chris everything your doing is amazing so keep it going bro love from Canada 🇨🇦
Hey Chris, I rarely make comments on RUclips videos, but as a fellow Canuck I felt that I needed to show my support. Over the course of the Pandemic, I’ve witness you put your blood, sweat, and tears into this channel. I’ve laughed to the point of tears at your jokes and I’ve been touched at the philanthropy you’ve displayed. I’m about 25 years from retirement, but I know where I’ll be living when I do 😉. Don’t listen to all the naysayers making negative comments while you’re spreading positivity. Keep promoting Thailand, keep promoting your tours, and keep giving back to the community, You are truly appreciated! All the best! Jason N.
I love your comment haha and it’s true people just want to rant the next thing they do maybe go out drinking they will forget about what they said already. Just do what you love and I am sure most of you here have common sense of what’s good or not. But then again who am I to judge, who drew the lines? The only think made me mad about this is I am half Thai living in paradise why cannot I do better. You are inspirational and no one is big enough to make everyone happy! For myself I try to make my family and my family happy first that is my goal for now. I am now 10 years away from retirement 😉 and I hope to retire by 39 if thing goes accordingly to plan.

Forget the haters, not worth your time. Keep on doing what you do, I love your videos and are very useful. I'm in Thailand right now, love learning the culture. 🙂
I bet a big part of what the group of people that you showed around noticed, is how much you love Thailand and your enthusiasm.
For them to say it's a "Trip of a Lifetime" is the ultimate best compliment to the tour guide❗️
I have 1 word to describe you: LEGEND!❤
I love your videos. I introduced my dad to your videos & now he’s a fan. We both love your enthusiasm and love for beautiful amazing Thailand 🇹🇭. Keep up the great work ⭐️😎
thanks a ton for this comment!
Those who follow you since from the beginning support all the thing you posted on this great Channel 👍👍👍
Wherever you go you take yourself with you. You come through with honesty, integrity, consideration, a love of Thailand and a way to help others enjoy it.
You make the person in personal for most of your subscribers by giving them a reason to stick with you. They give you their time and attention and you return that with value that makes others feel valued.
You are a foreigner's channel that broadcasts the beauty of Thailand. In a corner that foreigners have never seen and don't understand, as I am a Thai person, I thank you very much for creating this channel.
👉..........ขอบคุณที่รักและทำสิ่งดีๆ ให้กับประเทศไทยของผม.....ผมก็รักคุณเช่นกัน..........🌹🙏🤞
Hi Chris, I have watched your videos for a while now. My Brother stumbled across Thailand while backpacking across Asia and said it was one of the best places he's ever been to, since then my parents visited Thailand after my Dad retired and enjoyed traveling Thailand and holidaying in Koh Samui for a years pre pandemic. I've never been, but I watch your videos and enjoy you showing the real Thailand, market tours, hidden gems etc. Once my Daughter is older it's going to be our first family holiday and I really look forward to it. Please continue doing your fantastic videos, thank you for all your awesome content. We love ya too!
Chirs, you make me WoW every time to catch how much love Thailand for you. Keep doing man.
Chris. We love you and we will move together.
Chris, there is no crime nor should there be guilt in being entrepreneurial. The way I see it is that through your work you are providing an easier way for people to access a glimpse of a possible different life and pace and experience than western living. At the very least people will get a chance to live and have once in a lifetime experiences if making a life shift to them isn't what they are looking for. I'm also Canadian and went to Asia/Thailand for the first time late last year and early this year and was absolutely blown away and amazed by my experience there, I loved it. My spouse is Thai so the experience was much easy for me in terms of language and cultural adjustments (she did most of the talking lol). I myself am seriously considering making the move to Thailand. Keep up the great work and sharing your passions for Thailand and what it has to offer. Cheers from Vancouver, love the channel.
It’s easy to look and see what you and your team are all about. The problem is that it’s even easier to not look. You all do an amazing job, no justification needed. Period. Stay awesome ❤🙏🏻
well that comment sure makes a fella feel good.....thanks
Chris. ❤️ your channel. Just keep on doing what you are doing. Don't second guess yourself. You are on the right track.
You are doing a fantastic job. Love your channel and attitude.
We’ve been following you since 2020!!! Before COVID! And absolutely still love you to this day. Love your energy, love Thailand, love your videos, love your humor and love you! Screw the haters :) we all love you!
I have gone through similar analysis. I am Thai who used to live in North America for 12 years. Now, I have. been back to Thailand since 2016. I share the same sentiments with you Chris. Thailand is the best place to live on Earth. And I also share the same idea that mainly it is because of Buddhism and Thailand can preserve our ways of lives because Thailand has never been colonized.
Yep, because of buddha teaching,this land on earth is a the best place for living even the poor guys have to work hard but no violence with discrimination.
So everyone studies Buddhism? Even the young people?
I’ve started studying it myself and my whole life has improved. I can see how it keeps many negative emotions to a minimum. Probably why the people are so friendly there.
I can’t wait to visit.
@@KK-sg5gl Yeah it is a subject in school but that is nothing when compared with the way of Buddhism weaved into our daily lives, our thoughts, our mindsets, and our beliefs, that we, Thai people, have learned.
Totally agree 1000%
Chris, as a guy who has been to Thailand a few times I feel like a brand new bright eyed traveler every time I watch videos on your channel. You have shown me so many new and exciting places to go and sights to see from a whole new perspective. I appreciate your sense of humor, your informative news in 60 secs, and your willingness to give back to a community and country that has given you so much. So tell the haters to kick rocks, when you have them it means your doing something right. Keep logging those trips around the Sun. I sure will, and as a guy who bought a condo there because of your influence, I will be doing it there soon. Hope to meet you in person to say Thanks personally!
Hi guys. First off, we love you and all the hard work you put into promoting Thailand and its people. If people don’t like what you are doing, then they can switch to another RUclipsr. So you promote tours, real estate and Teenee app- but if you don’t want to use them, then don’t, no one’s forcing folks to use these services. You have a team, their expenses need to be paid - so your services help to pay these costs. What the moaners don’t mention is the pay it forward events (ok not events but you know what I mean) that really help people who are struggling and just need a bit of help getting back on their feet- a hand up not a hand out. Ok rant over! You guys are doing great and hopefully I can buy you all a Leo or two sometime.
Chris, you are human after all and those negative idiots go and watch trains go by. Chris, you are the person that people will look up to and your channel provides all of us with the content we need to move around this beautiful country. So please my dear friend do not worry about those few low-lives because they have nothing more to do but leave negative comments. Be well and safe.
I love you and your videos. Keep doing what you love. Be it tours and vlogs. Love from India 🇮🇳
Thank you so much!!
The majority of RUclips watchers that find value and really take advice are lurkers. For years I’ve never interacted with content online but I’m always watching and it gives me so much value.
I started watching your videos just before I went out to Thailand in December and the advice and experience that you and other Thailand RUclipsrs have shared was so helpful.
I sub to the Thailand weekly newsletter and definitely going to jump on the members group.
No doubt in my mind that your yours are incredible and seeing Thailand in this way is how people really experience Thailand. I made friends whilst in Rawai and a local Thai gave me a tour on the back of a bike, showed me around Phuket, we ate, went out and I just got the real feel for Thailand.
I could be wrong here but I don’t think most westerners understand the tour type of thing. I found it a bit odd at first but once you’re in Thailand it’s just completely normal and gives you the opportunity to meet new people, make friends and really embrace Thai culture and the way of living.
Sabai sabai 🙏🏼
Bit of a long winded comment but I thought I’d drop my experience. If you’re considering going to Thailand just go, don’t think about it. Go on a tour and explore!
I love your your works and watch every your videos. Keep doing your great job, Christ. Always support you.
I appreciate that!
We love your channel from the very beginning, keep it going! We have watched every single video and enjoyed Thailand from them as well as visiting Thailand. Cheers from Boise, Idaho!
I hear you Chris. And for the record I love what you do and I really appreciate the effort you put in. Arriving in Bangkok in a week and feel very excited thanks to what I’ve seen from your vlogs.
I’m so thankful to you and Adam for promoting Thailand the way you do. Please stay positive. There are tons of people, expats-Thais-tourists, really appreciate your work.😊❤🇹🇭
Real genuine and authentic. Keep being you,🎉Your passion for Thailand is contagious.😊
Chris you are a fine person with the heart in the right place. For Thailand lovers and people who experience Asia or Thailand for the first time you are a good inspiration. Chris, please keep up the good work. Thanks for everything. Cheers from Germany… Uwe
ทำต่อไปครับ สิ่งที่คุณทำเป็นประโยชน์ต่อประเทศไทยที่คุณรัก
Hey Chris, I've never commented on a video before but was compelled too this time. Dude, you're a delight. For those wounded individuals who fill their emptiness by spraying negativity please get over your issues and give yourself a hug - come join the rest of us. It is perfectly fine to be building business with social good intentions also. Chris, if you're reading any of these comments - you brighten the day with these videos. You've also partly inspired a pastey-white Scotsman to visit several times and now I'm relocating. I was into it anyway, but this was confirmation - that wee extra push and a meaningful one. Aw Ra Best folks.
welcome to your pastey-white Scottish ass!!!! i love your comment!
We love you Chris ! You share with us your love of Thailand and your good addresses. It's awesome ! Keep on going !! ❤
Been roaming around Koh Samui for the last week and must say your app Teenee has been a life saver. Thanks a lot for the hard work you put in. Here for another week or so, looking forward to bump in to you randomly in Bangrak. Would be an absolute dream if that happens.
Keep doing what you're doing...been to Thailand twice 2018 and 2019 and if COVID didn't happen I probably would have gone in 2020..I love that place and your videos make me love it even more. Sending love from South Africa 😄💖
You go boy! You already know how much you are loved and appreciated . What you do , how you do it and the keiretsu of companies that you are building around the love of Thailand touches so many people. You are one of a kind. Let the haters do their job and let it roll right off your shoulders. There are so few of them but I want to thank whoever wrote the comment that spurred the making of this video because those of us that support and love everything you do love videos like this just showing you as the only attraction. And yes that trip last week was magical and those of us that were on it felt that spark too and it’s cool as hell. Thanks Chris for everything and just keep doing what you do best: BE YOU. The next 3 years are going to be epic . Carry on !
Because of you and your Thailand loving video’s, my husband and I got to experience the beauty of a wonderful country!!! I am currently nagging beyond measure to come back and get some more Thailand !!! Keep on spreading your message!! From one Canadian to another ❤😊
Hello
I’m Thai🇹🇭, I’ll cheer for you no matter what.🤗🙏❤️
Chris shame you had to share your vulnerable side, but thank you! You do a fab job and having met you breifly at The Sands Sea Resort in Railay you are nothing short of genuine! Jack and I wouldnt have visited Thailand if it wasn't for you and we certainly wouldn't have already booked our 2024 one way ticket! Keep doing what you do and hope to see you in the flesh again next time ❤
so nice to have seen you at Sand Sea!
i love thailand going just two weeks, please continue you work. WE LOVE IT.
I and my family wanna thanks you on how you've helped promote Thailand. We appreciate it. Please keep doing as long as you're happy with it. We love your videos and we really really apprciate how you love our country 😊🙏
Hell yeah Chris! Been following your channel since push up days. You’re one of the most respected Thailand RUclipsr out right now, don’t let the haters get you down.
As to your point; I’ve always dreamed of bringing my friends or family to Thailand just to see their faces as their world view explodes. One day.
I think the reason for what you’re doing is amazing and life changing. Keep it up.
Well Chris.. I have been here since the beginning..as a Canadian I have been very proud to watch everything you have GIVEN to the pay it forward activities thru covid, your generosity to Thai's in need, schools, children and especially the animals... I must admit I have lost my way on your channel lately as the focus to paying it forward seems to have faded away...my dream was yes to visit Thailand.. one of only a handful of countries in the world I haven't visited and to aid in your pay it forward efforts... but from an outward appearance your focus seemed to change to monetization of the channel ... don't get me wrong.. one day I hope to avail my self of the things you have put in place, and I understand people like your nephew and others need to eat and live... so I get it.. I LOST CONNECTION , not you.. here I sit in Bancroft Ontario Canada, watching the insanity of our world ... waiting, wanting and hoping that one day I can visit Thailand not as a tourist, but as a contributer to a pay it forward campaign, as a Canadian helping others.. my dream, visit the animal shelter and donate carts and supplies to the Dog Mafia...that would make a Trip to Thailand the kind of experience I would love to see and be part of Giving Back, Pay it forward tourism... thanks Ted Lennox
Hi Chris, anybody that watches your channel on a regular basis will know of your love & respect of Thailand.
Your enthusiasm shines through in every frame of your vlogs. Your intentions are good, the videos are a joy to watch and I couldn't think of any better reason or ways of enjoying your retirement.
You obviously have the resources and the ability to do these things, there's nothing wrong in giving a little of the love you have for Thailand, a place you've made your home, back to the people, whether it's to farang RUclips viewers or the Thai children in the schools you've visited in the past. I remember watching in admiration when the world had come to a standstill, you found ways of helping the ordinary Thais who had nothing: no work, no income, no food, during the dreaded Covid pandemic.
If other's can't see or understand your intentions, or more probably, refuse to see, it says more about their mentally as a person than it does about you and you team.
Keep up the good work and heck, there's nothing wrong with having a bit of a laugh along thw way either.
I, for one, would certainly like to buy you a Leo next time I'm in Thailand...
...if only I knew of a RUclips channel that gave away freebie flights!!!?
You do a great job Chris. Exposing people to new places and showing them places you love is noble. If you do that through a business or pro bono makes no difference. I have been to Thailand. I have visited some of your favorite places, not through your channel but by coincidence. I am currently in Vietnam. While touring the North met some young women from Europe who are volunteering to help the people of Vietnam. I was thrilled to point them in directions of Vietnam that I love . I think of your trip to the North of Thailand and the wonderful group building schools . If this is how you make money, I hope you do very well . I hope to meet you someday. Best wishes to you and your family!!!
Well said
*Keep doing what you're doing. You cannot please everyone every time. Your LOVE of Thailand shines through all the videos' of yours I've watched.*
you explain why its worth traveling in your videos. thailand is one part of the world and people dont need to just head to thailand but understand that just saying yes to yourself and taking the risk of putting yourself out there in another part of the world with a different culture and language is something you will never regret. thailand is definitely worth the visit and its something that holds a special place in my heart and i can NOT wait to head back. hope you do another meet up chris i would like to meet ya and share our of love for thailand and maybe i could show you a place i truly love and maybe you havent visit. :)
I’ve been following you from the start and loved the passion you put in each video you make…. Pls keep going Thailand needs good people like yourself
Mate I recently started viewing your vids and have subscribed, will try and catch up for a coffee when I get to Thailand ( retiring soon) Please do NOT stop what you are doing , you have been an inspiration to me to make the plunge .
Keep it up brother, do your thing with no worries 🎉 that's the point now isn't it?
❤ Thanks for the Videos 😊
Love your attitude!! Love Thailand & Love you❤ your big fan💪🏽
Everybody has their reasons. No one place in this world is "perfect", so you choose what works best for you.
As my wife and I are in our mid 40s, working professionals, in the USA, and childless, we have been discussing what happens when we retire...when we walk away from our corporate careers.
Increasingly, we are looking at places like Thailand. My wife is originally from Vietnam, but we see Thailand (and Chiang Mai) better fitting our needs as we grow older. We get Western convenience, but are also close enough to family in Vietnam. We also have a place well within our budget for retirement regarding Thailand. So, that is our rationale. When we hit 50 years old, we are going to execute on it...4-5 years from now .. subject to a review on feasibility.
Retire early is a blessing. Met many retirees in the golf course in Spain and one main statement was : I wish had retire early. I retired at 50 and travelled the world and I am not loaded with cash but comfortable.
Chris, you kept many of us dreaming about our return to Thailand during Covid and built a fantastic community for us all to be part of.
Thailand is so much a part of my life that it is hard not to share my enthusiasm with everyone. I am like you I just want everyone to experience our beloved country.
I am returning next week with a group of 10 friends eager to show them everything I love. They have been watching your videos and they are all very excited.
You are a true ambassador to Thailand!
I am proud to be a RW4U - BOD.
.
Your passion and commitment is infectious, I’ve no doubt many subscribers have visited Thailand for the first time after being hooked through RW4U and what you’ve done for the Thai people over the last 3 years is truly incredible and deserves wider recognition. The best thing I ever did on You Tube was click subscribe to your channel!
people like you are who we need out there...showing there is something out there that is positive...Keep it up!!!!!!!
You bring so much joy to so many people, I personally love your personality and craziness in your videos there are to many people sad people out there who want to suck the life out of life.just remember you can’t please everybody all the time 🤷
My wife and I love your videos. We have been to Thailand several times and can't wait to come back. We enjoy hearing your perspective and getting new ideas for things to try. Keep up the good work. Next time we are there, your next beer is on us!
It all makes perfect sense. And keep doing what you do. Everything is improving (and particularly the comedy). I feel bad for people who manage to leave negative comments on your videos. They must have really shitty lives.
Please never stop what You are doing! That 's great. They are very few people talking about Thaïlande as you do.. very rare. thank you.
I'd say you do it because it's fun and it makes you money. Nothing wrong with that. We all work to make money. But we don't all enjoy what we do.
👋🏼Hey Chris! Just want to say “Your channel is amazing! We’ve been with you since darn near the beginning and we will be here till the end! We love everything on this channel from the push ups, pay it forwards, to tours, to meet ups (which we still need to get to one), to the Korean content, to all the people you’ve introduced to the world, to the 60 seconds in Thailand news, to the down to earth good ol’ Canadian boy! Don’t ever change keep doing you and screw the haters! These snowflakes love to complain about everything and you can’t let it get to you! You have done nothing wrong! ♥️🇨🇦🍻cheers to you🍻and one day getting together for a few cold bevy’s on Samui🍻
I totally agree with you Chris. I lived in Thailand for 25-years and it always bugged me that I could not figure out how to let others know there is a whole world out there that is different than the cultures and societies people grow up in. Different in a positive way and contrary to ideas that America, for example, is the best country. Far too many people never get the chance to leave what they have grown used to so they can explore what else is out there. I also saw the live and let live attitude in Thailand and it was refreshing to see all the smiles and positive vibes that type of view generated. Your message is being heard loud and clear so please don't question any need you might have to make money that enables you to keep getting the message across. I'm sure many people have not only enjoyed your videos but learned a lot of positive things they may have never discovered. Thanks for that Chris and keep growing the channel. There will always be negative people with nothing better to do than try and make others as miserable as they are. Comes with the territory so don't let it get to you.
Hey Chris just wanted to let you know that we truly appreciate you. We watched a half dozen of you videos and booked a month trip yo Thailand. Went to Bangkok, Chaing Mai, Pai and now ending our last week in Ko Samui. We will definitely be reaching out when we get back to the states fir our next trip ❤
I completely do not believe Chris started this channel to make money. His first video was him doing pushups, not many though. There was not a thought it would be like it is today. As his channel grew a brand new business grew. Chris has an addictive personality that not many of us could match. I am sure there are 100's of people that look at Chris and think, "Ya I would love to be doing videos like you". Chris has that special ingredient, that je ne squa kwa that makes it work. He does not push anything on to anyone, he just presents it in a nonchalant way and it is up to us if that is what we want. The way he shows Thailand is incredible because it shows everyone what it is like and that we can do it to with or without him. I am sure it would make his day to receive some pics of a place that he featured and you were there and said thanks. I feel that Thailand is an incredible country with amazing people and I love that he features that.
I'm Thai, living in Thailand. I love watching your videos so much I haven't missed a single clip and thank you Chris for making such a great video. Presenting the best places in Thailand
I’ve been to Thailand for first time back in November, returning in July for 2 weeks, loved Bangkok. I’m from USA Minnesota, Thailand people friendliest people I’ve ever met, can’t wait to go back, and love your videos, very helpful, look forward to everyone you make! Keep up the great videos!
Keep doing what you’re doing dude. I’ve been here 20 years and you are so authentic. Love your wife and your nephew and all the best - everyone needs to make a living
I just got back from Thailand. Was there through most of November. Was in Bankok, then Pattaya, then Phuket, then back in Bankok. I was there for my cousins wedding (He married a Thai woman and the wedding was in Thailand). I, like many had been looking into visiting SE Asia, but never took action. My cousins wedding was the event that finally pushed me to make it happen. I had never been out of the USA other than Vancouver BC. Just like the creator of this video states, make it happen and at least visit once. My trip was great. I definitely learned a lot, so some time was spent learning the ropes, and if I visited again it would go much smoother. Bet even so, my trip was exactly as good as I expected. Watching videos from creators like this channel helped me so much, and I am grateful for these videos. Have an open mind on your trip and don't get to stressed, just roll with whatever comes. Plan your days out, but don't sweat it if things don't go to plan. I actually wanted to go to Vietnam, and for my next trip I want to try another SE Asian country. But I had so much fun in Thailand that part of me wants to go back. Sitting here is the sub zero Wisconsin weather...............I miss the 90 degree heat, putting my hotel room key fob in the wall to turn on room electricity, the 80 baht street food, the gauntlet of massage lady's heckling me walking to and from my hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 1 alley, tuc tuc guys over charging me, scooter taxi rides fearing my arms would get torn off on a car mirror, the obstacle course that is the sidewalks, Sing Ha beer, shopping malls so big you can get lost in them, markets everywhere, guys on scooters driving the wrong way on a one way street because they don't want to go around the block, challenging communication with people who know like 4 words of English, and most of all the Thai people, who were very busy with their own lives, but would be gracious, respectful and helpful if you ever needed them.
we got your back brother. keep up the awesome work ! you are helping us and we appreciate your hard work and selflessness.
You are my idol Chris. You teach us how to live happily, which is very important in life. 😍😍🍻🍻👍👍
Hey Chris been watching your channel since during the first lock down - the work you did supporting the Thai people during those tough times was truly inspirational - I bought t shirts etc to help with the cause and I found the videos a really wonderful. Keep doing what you are doing and the larger the channel gets it going to attract some doubters but it will be massively out numbered with all of us who think you are great . Am currently planning our trip to Thailand next feb and this is partly down to you and you’re great videos . Keep going man , big love from Brighton England
Hi Chris! I was one of the early adopters to RW4U and I have to mention that it's been and no doubt will continue to be some of the most uplifting things I see online. Especially the periodic "Shining" comparisons. Just sayin. What you, Andrew, and the Team have accomplished in "building things to enhance people's Thailand experience" is so much more than the the physical tours, real estate, and general insights. Every time we see you on a video, you share a friendly optimism that creates possibilities about Thailand...possibilities that allow people like me to dream a bit about making my way to the Land of Smiles. Through your videos I've learned about Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pai, Koh Samui and of course THE FOOD! I'll close with this...these dreams will become a reality in October of 2023, and much of that is due to your efforts, your storytelling, and just being a good dude. Simply, thank you Chris.
Chris you share joy with many people. Keep enjoying this and don't let other people bring you down.화이팅
