- I'm back in the UK after a brutal hot season in Thailand. Will we be moving back to the UK ! My opinions and feelings have changed in recent times so will returning to the UK be a positive and defining experience ? I also introduce my popular Mum again and showcase my new electric tooth brush.

Mum has lovely garden 😊
Cheers. Yes, she loves pottering every day. Nice to wake up too.👍🍺
nice to see you and your daughter so close 👍
The older I get the harder Thailand gets for me. More peace and quiet and sane driving would do me well.
Happy Birthday Annie!! We hope that you had a wonderful visit with your Gramma.
All the best to Annie on her 21st
James, thanks for sharing with us your family in the UK. Lovely. I always enjoy your content and look out for your uploads.....
Cheers mate. Appreciate the kind words.👍
I was hoping for some mincing around in that beautiful turqoise gown. The grass is always greener on the other side, you know. While in Europe I miss Thailand, and vice versa. Balance is the key.
Hi james nice video i am also back in the Uk after 5years in Thailand enjoying the Kent countryside and time with children and grandchildren, now looking forward to returning to Thailand soon
Hi James,
Beautiful camera work in this video. So much clarity in it. Probably having no pollution an a blue sky enhanced it. It is good to see the close relationship that you have with Annie. I can't imagine too many father's here in Australia going for walks with their daughters an being comfortable talking about all subjects.
Cheers mate. The new camera is great. Microphone helps too.👍🍺
James and Annie. Enjoy Britain while you can, but don't move back here. In around 30 years, the UK will have sharia law, and all that comes with it. Today, we got a new Labour government. It is going to be brutal if you are not of a certain demographic.
Hysterical!
Moving back to the UK ?
Don’t.
That’s the simple answer.
It’s going to go downhill very fast now.
I wish I had the finances to leave.
Hi James, great video. Just returned from UK, my mother 90th birthday celebration. Happy birthday to Annie. Hopefully see you soon back in Thailand. Enjoy.
Another good one. Your mom has a beautiful place and garden. Thanks for sharing your trip.
Thanks for the video mate. Very lovely family. Bless you all!
Cheers mate. Appreciate it.👍🍺
Beautiful British house! And it’s huge. a great place to return to when you’re visiting parents and the hometown
Lamp is beef/pork/chicken salad
Green and pleasant land, indeed. Great to see you guys so happy and diggin' the scene. Wonderful stuff...you're the best.
Great video Summerset is a beautiful part of the UK.
Cheers. Certainly is. Virtually untouched part of the UK.👍🍺
20:57 "Nice Audi" but even better Aston Martin 😲
The SW of England is the only part of the country that has yet to fall .. give it 10 years and it will be completely sunk. So sad to see this great country have the rug pulled under its feet … stay in Thailand I certainly would
Very true. It's a beautiful part of the UK. We'll see what happens.👍🍺
Have a nice holiday guys
Cheers Michael. Just back today actually and had great time.👍🍺
Hoping Annie enjoyed a wonderful birthday!
Great video James
when the sun shines in the UK you couldn't be any better place. Hope you and your family enjoy your stay 🙏
Hello mate. Manchester and Liverpool are great areas for Annie to study. They have loads of Asian supermarkets and restaurants, she can find literally anything she needs from back home. Even Durian and Pa la . Everything is in walking distance and great student communities. Should come up north and have a look .
Cheers for the info. Annie is studying in Bangkok, but I think she will explore other parts of the UK in the future.👍🍺
I have a few ancestors from the Kent area which left over to US on the Mayflower. Some Scottish ones also which there name Wallace. They were on the battlefield the day Cornwallis surrendered. Sam Houston was a friend of the family but I'd leave that big city behind for the place your showing. 4th of July becomes more sad every year.
Thank you for posting. I really enjoyed that
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.👍🍺
Welcome home
Thai festival on this weekend in Southampton plenty food, music and Thai beer
Back in Thailand. Annie would love that. Cheers.👍🍺
Wow, a no sky spraying day, proper Studio Ghibli clouds, word must have got out Miss Kiki aka Annie was flying in
Happy birthday Annie xxx
I would suggest you take your daughter to Luton or Bradford or Birmingham or Slough for a few nights to see the real England before she decides whether she wants to live in the UK. Somerset is not your typical England of today.
She watches bald and bankrupt. She knows. As she said previously, she would only stay in the country areas.
God forbid 😂 and now we have a labour Government there be buying a dingys next glade your back in the uk James
Thai food is expensive in the uk James is your daughter going to university in the uk ?
If Anny does a degree 📜 or a BTEC I think her salary will be much higher James in Thailand so something to consider
@@roberthornbrook8374 As an employer interviewing people for jobs, unless the university degree is a technical subject it is not taken seriously and BTECs are worth as much as a sheet of toilet paper.
If James is "glad to be back in the UK"; we will see him making a vlog in a UK as a patient in an asylum in his next vlog.
Could well be.👍
That was great and I enjoyed seeing the Somerset countryside. You can't beat the English countryside on a good Summer's day. hope you get tome to enjoy a hostelry or two - would love to see a video of Bradford on Avon or Bath. Happy Birthday to Annie and have a great time in Blighty !🍻
When people get upset when I've complained about the countries I've lived in or spent long periods of time in, I've always said that if I was talking about England, I'd have a lot more negative things to say. It's always nice to go back, have real food and real conversations but I think the last five years (and the elections results) have shown us that the UK is basically fkked...
Alright James, newish subscriber here, great content. English villages are in the main kept pristinely compared to other places. Still seems like a good sense of community in Somerset. Worth a consideration for half the year in uk autumn and winter spent in Los! Kevin from Ireland.
It’s a Hillman minx same as Humber 80 or Singer all part of the Routes group family
Cheers. Thanks for the info.👍🍺
Or Rootes Group even 😉
@@bangkokney8708 yes Rootes group ,fotgive the typo
Absolute fantastic loving the vlog 👍👍
For a while my local Tesco had fresh Thai holy basil and I would get some almost every week. Sadly they stopped selling it a few years ago for no obvious reason, particularly as it would sell out as soon as it came in.
Cheers James, great to hear you guys are enjoying being back in UK. You both look really happy, and the English country side looks perfect. Happy birthday to Annie! The English summer down south can be really beautiful. I was living in Manchester, and I think we got no more than 3 weeks of sunshine (above 25dC) in summer while I was there. Having lived away from my original country for 15 years, it takes me about 4 weeks of visiting before I remember/see why I left and why where I am is better. Still its great to visit and reminisce and catch up with friends, for a couple of weeks. Hope the rest of trip goes really well.
for some reason its a cold and almost autumn feel to the start of july here in carlisle uk, noticed straight away the difference between the pavements in Yeovil to any Thai town or city how is the reverse culture shock ha ha, thanks for sharing
Fun video James! 👍
Your mom and daughter are mazing!.....did not see you wify. 😂
Cheers mate, she was hiding in the hedge.😁👍
@@jamesabroad8589 🤣🤣
Welcome back James & Annie, enjoy the weather 😂😂😂 not had a summer this year. As forflights to & from LOS we always fly direct, normally Thai, occasionally Eva, but next November we're doing BA for the 1st time. We'll done with the meal Annie, done ya dad proud. Happy 21st. A Hilman minx, James.
Hi James I've been watching your videos for some time and I used to live in yeovil you picked the best part of town to show, if you had gone to the bottom of town you would have seen some men from the stone age
Cheers. I usually put a Google maps link in the description. I might have forgotten a few times.👍🍺
Mate spend 1 year or 6 months in uk see if you realy like it again and want to live there
Great stuff James and Annie
Cheers mate.👍🍺
Mama noodles and pla ra sauce for somtum is what my wife always buys when we go to Thai town in LA
Every Thai woman buys the same thing. 😁👍
Nice video hope everything goes well, I left the UK this week to have a better life in Thailand, the UK has gone down hill big time, think before staying here drive around then the true England will present itself.
Just been back to UK to visit for 3 weeks
Really enjoyed it
Happy Birthday Annie 🎂
I love your videos James, keep them coming 😊
Was the Thai woman in the video Annies Mom?
Happy birthday have a wonderful day 👍😎🎂
Have to admire you come all this way just to vote
Missed it by One day. Qatar airways changed our flights and then lost our luggage. Not a fan lol. 👍
them walls wont keep me out yeoville what a dump 🤣🤣
@jamesabroad8589 this was lovely video. You have a beautiful family. It makes me miss the UK.
Cheers mate. The UK can be lovely (when the sun shines lol).👍🍺
Where did you get the portable bum gun? I want to buy a couple for my next trip to the US.
Mini Clubman traveller and an early Hillman Minx.
I think lab is from Laos originally. My family in Sakon Nakhon are big into lab.
Its great to see your mum (star of the show) looking so well and her beautiful garden. The reason you enjoy the UK its home James family friends local pub proper fish and chips its what we all miss when away. I have not been home for over 3 years as I dont have family there but I fear I might not want to come back here if you get my drift lol. We are heading to our Northern pile (Chiang Rai) next week for the school holidays and we going a different route so will be passing trough your stomping ground Tak this day week. Look enjoy yourself and spoil your mother and give here a big hug from me and another to the birthday girl Annie who is a beautiful young lady....Colin
Beautiful looking area James 👍
So how will you support your family ?
With money.👍🍺
Is it Crew-kurn or Crook-en? West Co-ker or Cocker Many a wind up between the local dialects and the posh un's over the latter in the Quicksilver Mail.
I enjoy my winter avoidance in Thailand but I like coming home to Yeovil.
Hi James, the list of pro's and con's between UK & TL are for always changing.. greener grass syndrome possibly? the cost to live back in the UK would be a big shock.. perhaps a topic for a video?
Larruped is a word I've not heard for a,while.
Your England is far different from mine.
North London.
True. London was a mess when I was last there in 2010. 👍🍺
The cucumbers in the UK might be bigger than in Thailand, but I have to hold back the tears when in the UK I see what is labelled as a 'large' or 'very large' avocado and it's significantly smaller than an apple!
Would you say the same thing Nov with storm, -5 and horizontal rain? 😂
Love swedish summer but two months is not enough.
Probably not lol. Told Annie it's grim in the Winter time. She will have to experience herself. Loved Finland midsummer time. 👍🍺
@@jamesabroad8589 hehe it is survivor mode at that time of the year.
Midsummer is great. Still happy I love in surin 😂👌
You should get Hire car Excess insurance, £35GBP per year. Eversure.
Yep, there are (or were) a number of insurance companies that will cover all the excessive excesses on car hire. Haven't tried it, but Turo might be a better option (the Air BnB of cars)
Often those policies exclude International Driving Permit holders and you need to be UK resident……unfortunately
No guarantees, even with emirates.
Two years ago, i booked a flight (and also immediately purchased an extra legroom seat) with them to BKK and afterwards i had a onward flight with thai airways to Laos.
Within weeks of booking and still many months away from travelling, they suddenly send me an automated email that they had put me on different flights.
No explanation and no apologies, but at least everything was rescheduled automatically at basically the same travelling dates.
I had to reschedule my thai airways flight and luckily my fare allowed changes without extra cost.
my Thai g.f wont cook with that MSG she says its very unhealthy
I did a video about that a while back. I agree but many say it's natural and fine to eat. I'm most Thai food.👍🍺
Yeoville looks really nice 👍 I’m curious, how much would a 1 year lease, on a 1 bedroom apartment go for?
One other question…does the train run north to Liverpool from there, or would you need to go via London?
I love your Thailand content, but I enjoy your UK content as well!
oh I miss clean air...
It was lovely. 20 AQI. 😊👍🍺
Nice thanks! Your not the first I have heard say the last hot season did something to them. Kind of scary to consider the "Climate" folks say it is only going to get worse 🤔
Going back home becomes a "Nice place to visit, but i would want to live there"... the usa is going south fast. My thai wife has had enough, same with me
Well i honestly do not think leaving Thailand will improve anything because after brexit things are not well and you have everything you need in Thailand
finally caught your wife on camera
Could be. The mystery continues 🙄😁
Hope you putting a claim in for a cancelled flight. KLM cancelled mine and the compensation was 600 euros 🤷🏼♂️👌
£60 a train ticket??.
What on earth is that?
Madness.
I too am glad you’re back in the UK! You had your chance in Thailand and things eventually didn’t turn out as expected as you grew up and grew older! Smooth sailing in the future for the UK, right? No need for a return ticket. Still looking for a new job?
Back in Thailand. 👍🍺
Is that click. No way James ffs.. Watch soon ka 💯
Not click. Like that area of UK. See what Labour do to it in the next 5 years. Then will see.
I just spent 4 years back in the UK after 17 years in Thai after 1 year I realized I had made one big mistake but my Thai wife liked her job earning money and saving it all so we stayed ,the UK is now a dump in many areas well that's my opinion places like where your mother lives and few like it the upper middle classes have not been invaded yet I hope for her sake it is not she would soon change her not so bad statement anyway enjoy I am sure you will if you stay where you are you sound very up market matey
Happy Birthday to the beautiful Annie. James you are lucky to be able to live in two amazing places. Enjoyable video watching Annie cooking and presenting her Thai culture. Quaint rural English countryside and the airy summer weather would make me want to be a resident. Cheers!
Overpriced EVERYTHING, NHS that is nowhere near to those superb Thai clinics, immigrants (of the bad kind), miserable cold weather.... No no no no no... Thailand any day of the week over northern part of europe.
You can moan about the UK but if you come back to a house and garden like that its paradise. Your mother is one of the elite 10 % .Bless her and i am sure she is thankful for it .
I don't like the use of elite and privilege for straight forward people who ha e simply made a lot of good decisions. Why not call them hard-working, intelligent and deserving.
@@golfbulldog yes true but we should also put in the word fortunate. Not all hard-working people make it.
@@Mike-id7bh how do you know they were fortunate?
@@golfbulldog Born in a free country with good opportunities and having had a long life is the first 2 observations I can make. Also it is a much better word than deserving, which I don't personally like. We are all fortunate to have the lives we have and we are not owed anything.
@@golfbulldog Instead of elite i should have used the word lucky .Still i believe our situation in this life is achieved through our behavior in a previous one .
❤👍👍👍🙏
Qatar Airways sucks. Had 4 flights a couple years ago… the experience was terrible. They hire South Asians and Filipinos - and basically imprison them in dormitories outside of Doha - forbidden to leave except to work. (Modern slavery and you can sense it from the mood and poor service quality.)
Back in time for a new government
Not happy about it but all a bunch of idiots TBH. Will see how bad it gets under Labour.👍
It is all a cycle. Enjoy your time with your family & friends in the UK. This is what life is about.
BTW, I'm happy about it, 5555
Take care mate.
Ps happy birthday Annie.
Anyway its better than Thai politics.. enjoy your time with your family.. they look a nice bunch and many happy returns to Annie.@@jamesabroad8589
Liked.นะ
You dont like the UK, you like being with family. If you dont think so, go far away from your family and spend a few months there.....family is everything.
It's more to do with my recent feelings towards Thailand. Will see what the new government does to the UK.
@@jamesabroad8589 It will take 20 years to undo all the destruction that has been done to all of our countries. One election isnt enough, this is like a person weighing 600 pounds, they cant just be a healthy weight in a week or two....it takes time and effort....The UK right now has more immigrants in london than true brits so the UK has lost control of its main city. Immigrants have no ties to the UK, immigrants are a plane ticket away from going home to whatever country and living a life there. But a brit is stuck with the disaster, sure some can leave but you would be leaving the disaster to your friends and family. It isnt just the UK, Australia in my opinion is by far the worst. Canada is also terrible, imagine having your bank accounts frozen cause you gave 5 dollars to a trucker who was peacefully protesting things. These governments today have become the worst we have seen in at least a hundred years. A german leader didnt even target its own citizens like our western governments are doing today. People are jailed for speech in britian and in other countries....
Flights, Qatar are very good, or were when i worked there. Don't understand why you are not thinking about Eva air, 12 hours or so direct flight. Economy is good but premium plus is even better.
