A bit of humor, Peter...I had a similar hat years back, & a "hillbilly" friend remarked, "Bob, I'd like to own 2 of those hats! "Why 2"? He said, "One to Crap in, another to Cover it up with"! (Of course I wasn't excited to hear this...but I did find it fairly humorous! Haha😂..Cheers, Peter!❤)
The resort looks fantastic ! I can't believe it's already 2 years since you were up in the part of the world - time is flying by. You're looking well Peter ! All the best from Prague
Hi Peter, I agree about the hotel. I’ve stayed there twice, once in a room like yours and then in a bungalow next to the pool. I live in Hua Hin and usually go three times a year: ANZAC Day (April) for the dawn service Remembrance Day (November) And when Hua Hin play Kanchanaburi City 😉 It’s difficult to please everyone when doing a vlog on somewhere like Kanchanaburi. Sadly most of us know the history regarding the area which is usually the reason we initially visit. Yet people also want to know about nightlife and places to eat. I’d just say, keep on doing what you’re doing as your videos are nicely paced and enjoyable 👍🏻
Stayed at that place a couple of months ago. I was in the hotel part. So noisy. For unknown reasons, you have to swipe a card to exit the corridor where the rooms are. Every time someone does, there is a loud "Ding dong" you can hear in your room. Also hotel employee talking loudly on his phone, sounded like he was in my room. I would recommend staying one of the rooms like yours.
I enjoyed the video as I am coming to Kanchanaburi to see the Bridge while I am staying in Bang Saray for the winter from the 1st October till April. I do not usually do tourist things and just live a normal life no car no scooter just public transport as I like to integrate with the locals but I have a friend coming over for her first visit Christmas and new year. She wanted to go to Bangkok so it’s ideal to have a Friday in Bangkok catch the train to Kancanaburi and as an ex serviceman pay my respects to all the fallen no matter what nationality and then celebrate the ladies birthday in a nice riverside hotel. Unfortunately as it’s the new year the hotel was booked fully so I have to book the zeig river kwai which also has the opportunity to have breakfast by the river. So thank you for the inspiration to combine many of the things we wish to do. I do know some of the history as my father was stationed at changi in Singapore and visited himself. I see from comments that someone was not impressed by it being factually incorrect but I would not let that bother you as it was not your intention to mislead. Everyone who does visit should go to the museum as that will enlighten people to the atrocities and to the graves of the young men. I will not let that opportunity pass me by to show respect.
Stayed there a year ago and endorse all you've said. I wouldn't call it a budget option, but it's good value for what you get. Those Bangkok prices must be getting to you! There's a nice coffee shop with aircon almost opposite the entrance. If you stay a couple of days or more, there's Erawin waterfalls about an hour's drive away too. The museum next to the war graves cemetery is the best one IMO. Thanks for reviving some good memories.
I've unsubscribed from some Thailand vloggers, but not you Peter. And I have to say - you're looking really well mate. You've clearly lost some weight, and you just look healthier and happier my man. 👍😊❤️
A very nice and relaxing place with a sad history..always worth another visit and even stay the night..lovely resort..and some lovely places to look along the river when you hire a long boat EXCELLENT video👏🙏🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
Hello Peter The museum at Hellfire Pass is excellent....like everyone else who has been it's incredibly harrowing. A very emotional experience. Take care.
Hi Peter.....I stumbled into your videos by chance as I am contemplating a vacation to Pattaya(not decided as of yet). In one of your stories, the writer goes to a massage place(the reason eludes me right now) to get a one-hour massage. He makes note in his story that there are massage rates for 30 minutes, 1-hour, and 90-minute massages. He did enjoy the massage and called back on Line to ask if she does house calls, which she does, but he asks for a time that exceeds that was on the menu, if i one for at least two hours. In your experience in Thailand, either from hearing stories or talking to others, do the employees frequently accept doing massages for a time that exceeds that which is not on the menu?
Yes no problem most of the most stay with you for several hours if not all night and evening for days on end as long as they are paid for their services
@@ThailandBound Thank you for replying Peter. I didn't word my question well. I wasn't referring to and long or short stays. I was inquiring about a request for a massage for a strange amount of time............a five hour massage. But I see what your saying. Thank you again for the reply.
Your smart to stay "On your Todd" Peter. You can always "drop in" a bar, massage place, for a bit of fun with the girls, but to drag them about gets expensive & its useless unless they speak English or you speak Thai...😊..
Once again I go down memory road. And in the mid 1960's we took a ride out to the bridge and to view the reclining Buddha. But all I remember seeing was the bridge at the end of a dirt road in the forest, and one small sign. Gee, development in Thailand has been extensive. 🤔🌞👁️
Your looking well peter I have seen this place before there is so much to thank the veterans for peter. There are some bars there as well I want to visit this place wow don’t get much better than this
I have been to Kanchanaburi many times, didn't stay in this resort you had stayed in.. 1400 baht per night is not considered budget in Kanchanaburi, it's a swankier hotel. It is beautiful though, will give it a try the next time I go back to Thailand, Kanchanaburi in particular
Just lovely, Peter...just wondering if that river has any crocodiles, snakes swimming about..? 😊..I might think twice b4 I went in there for a swim! Haha 😄
Thank you Peter for taking us around Bangkok and your travels. You’ve done a very good job with this channel because a lot of people listening and talk to you but now you’re out and about so they get a little firsthand of what your channels is really about and I must say Miley she has a gorgeous smile, and I awesome personality, you’re so lucky that y’all get sunburn together. Please keep up the good work Glenn GLYNN.
Great video Peter, I was in that restaurant by the river 20 years ago, very nice did you feed the fish! And the hotel you stayed in looks fantastic, must be quite new thanks for the info cheers.
I really like when you do this type of videos, since I'm not interested in older men getting younger women videos, lol. Can you tell me how much this room was in US dollars? Thank you!!!!
That place looked so nice and tranquil Peter, i have been to Kanch a few times and that hotel will be my choice next visit, how delightful was that view when having breakfast. The Panama hat suits you sir, i actually treated my self to one yesterday from Marks and Sparks, very pleased with it, cheers.
Peter I have to have breakfast there mate one day I am visiting Pattaya in October for a few weeks my daughters are getting older now so soon I be able to travel more
I don't think you really took in the video because I mentioned how much I paid and what it included about four to five times 😂 1,400 baht which included breakfast
Well if you don't watch the video and listen to what I'm saying what's the point in asking me questions? Maybe you'd be better off looking at another channel
@ThailandBound Wow, even after I basically told you I watched the video, you still think I didn't. I am taking the micky about how many times you said how much it cost.
Re the floating restaurant, where you had lunch , I was there a few years back , and went to the toilet, to take a piss , unexpectedly I received a neck massage from the attendant , while do this , Most unnerving Peter
For anyone who has never been..and u just ordinary joe..Thailand is EXPENSIVE..at home,would you eat out 3 times a day?..get taxis when you can walk a bit?..do not let this channel drag u in.I lived 6 yr there and know.Go Laos or Vietnam..or even Japan now cos their currency collapsed...but not as much fun.Put it this way,in 2001 i rented a room in Dusit for a YEAR for £400!!
I don't think you even listened to the Video, I gave both arguments to whether it was expensive or not and I agree with the other guy who's left the comment below
Peter please research and ensure that your facts are accurate when discussing the Bridge on the River Kwai and the POW camps. There was no POW camp on the opposite side of the river from the restaurant. Tamarkan pow camp was located by the coach park not far from the bridge, near to your resort. Your resort restaurant was actually located very near where the wooden bridge crossed the river. Additionally, where is your evidence or reference to prisoners being lined up on the bridge by the Japanese just before it was about to be bombed? If you are going to talk about the Bridge on the River Kwai and the Death Railway, it is important to have correct information. Visiting the two CWG cemeteries in Kanchanaburi would have added more depth and significance to your vlog. It is essential to have a thorough understanding of the historical context of the death railway before discussing such important topics on your channel.
Did you see the other video Peter made about this place? Don't forget this is not the National Geographic or the Discovery Channel, but a one man band with a youtube channel. Plenty of othere resources for this subject if you really want to dive into the subject.
Oh, Peter, how charming of you to display such unwavering arrogance and blatant disrespect towards those who suffered and died during the construction of the death railway in Kanchanaburi. It's truly impressive how you managed to distort historical facts in such a cavalier manner. And suggesting I watch the History Channel? What a groundbreaking idea, I'm sure that will solve everything. If we do happen to cross paths in Kanchanaburi, I'll be sure to give you a piece of my mind face to face. No need to hide behind a keyboard when we can have a real conversation about your evident lack of respect for the sacrifices made by those who endured unimaginable horrors. Cheers to your astounding ignorance and insensitivity.
@@johngodfrey8595 Again... didn't you see the other video? Why the hell are you trying to cancel a fun to watch content creator? I think that you are jealous that Thailandbound gets more attention? Boo's at your disrespect for a creator that certainly doesn't deserve it.
The hat has given him a new lease on life. So much smarter than a baseball cap.
Agreed!! 👍
It don't say "Thailand Bound" though... :(...
Shall definitely put this on my visit list , especially as my father was a brave ww2 pilot , imagine it’s quite moving & emotional 🥲
It is, it really really is.
A bit of humor, Peter...I had a similar hat years back, & a "hillbilly" friend remarked, "Bob, I'd like to own 2 of those hats! "Why 2"?
He said, "One to Crap in, another to Cover it up with"!

I viseted the place in 2018 and i really loved it . Not to busy but still lots of night live to 👍
Hi Peter, I agree about the hotel. I’ve stayed there twice, once in a room like yours and then in a bungalow next to the pool.

Where I was was almost silence couldn't hear anything very peaceful
Nicely put together video and agree with everyone else that hat is perfect for you.
Peter wonderful thank you for the recommendation as I was not aware of any hotels so definitely staying here in July when I return.
And it's a 10 minute walk from the Bridge
Hey Peter, good video as always. New hat rocks.
I enjoyed the video as I am coming to Kanchanaburi to see the Bridge while I am staying in Bang Saray for the winter from the 1st October till April.

1400 bath is not a budget hotel, it's a fair price fullstop
Near such a worldwide famous spot for tourists I think it's a budget hotel.
Look great
Stayed there a year ago and endorse all you've said. I wouldn't call it a budget option, but it's good value for what you get. Those Bangkok prices must be getting to you!

Great vid! Hope to go back in the future. Cheers from Pratumnak
My favourite place in Thailand
I stayed there for 3 nights. Skipped the Breakfast after day one, Other than that its a great resort for the money. Can get good food in the town.
I've unsubscribed from some Thailand vloggers, but not you Peter. And I have to say - you're looking really well mate. You've clearly lost some weight, and you just look healthier and happier my man. 👍😊❤️
Thanks David yes I've been on a diet I'm down 8 kilos, I want to do another 10
A very nice and relaxing place with a sad history..always worth another visit and even stay the night..lovely resort..and some lovely places to look along the river when you hire a long boat
EXCELLENT video👏🙏🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
Glad you enjoyed it
Hello Peter

I don't think the girl could do a massage for 5 hours you'd have to change girls 1 hour at a time
Thank You Peter..!! Loved this Video..!! Thank You
Nice big bed for aerobics ! 👍🏼 haha
I never get bored with Thailand can’t wait until I am back later this year..Another good one!
Keep up the good work Peter, great stories, soothing voice, great attitude, enjoy your life in LoS 😊
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks enjoyed watching, Cheers from Marty in New Zealand 🙏👍😊
Glad you enjoyed it
I stayed at the same resort last year. I was in the villa next to the swimming pool. I really enjoyed my stay, very nice place.
Your smart to stay "On your Todd" Peter. You can always "drop in" a bar, massage place, for a bit of fun with the girls, but to drag them about gets expensive & its useless unless they speak English or you speak Thai...😊..
Your right
Excellent video, looks great where you were. AMAZING. Nice hat 🤠
Kanchanaburi is a really lovely place to visit with very sobering history.
The stunning Erawan falls is also nearby
Hotel looks fine . Definitely on my bucket list to visit. Cheers Peter
Once again I go down memory road. And in the mid 1960's we took a ride out to the bridge and to view the reclining Buddha. But all I remember seeing was the bridge at the end of a dirt road in the forest, and one small sign. Gee, development in Thailand has been extensive.
🤔🌞👁️
Well done Peter, historical & tranquil - feel like watching the Bridge on the River Kwai again
The movie was actually shot an Indonesia not Thailand
@@ThailandBound Wow, didn't know that - how interesting.
Fantastic vlog ✅ Pete
Good to see you out and about again
Real history
Disappointing no safe
Got to say sensible, smart 🤓 looking Panama hat 🤠✅
Thanks 👍
Hotels are such good value in Thailand 😊
Thank you Peter. Looks a great place near to somewhere so special. I will try that next time, rather than the usual day trip.
Love your vlogs God bless always
Thank you 😊
Great video update and the new hat suits you very smart.
Thank you kindly!
Lovely video with a very nice vibe. Thank you for your excellent work.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice video ( liking the Geoff Boycott look)😃
Your looking well peter I have seen this place before there is so much to thank the veterans for peter. There are some bars there as well I want to visit this place wow don’t get much better than this
Just perfect thank you I know where I’m staying !
I like the new hat.
Excellent video thanks Pete. Hotel looked very good and Kanchanaburi is definitely on my "to do" list 🙂
Looks really nice there and not crowded with tourists yet. Good video Peter👍
You should consider running tours
Looks like a beautiful, amazing place. Must get there someday.
You got a great opportunity to go there now that you live in Thailand David you should go it's worth the visit
I have been to Kanchanaburi many times, didn't stay in this resort you had stayed in.. 1400 baht per night is not considered budget in Kanchanaburi, it's a swankier hotel. It is beautiful though, will give it a try the next time I go back to Thailand, Kanchanaburi in particular
You can play up to 8,000 baht per night for a hotel here so for me, I will state again, that this is a budget hotel.
Just lovely, Peter...just wondering if that river has any crocodiles, snakes swimming about..? 😊..I might think twice b4 I went in there for a swim! Haha 😄
I doubt there's any crocodiles because there was a local swimming in the river
Beautiful place, could spend some time there
Yes for sure
The man from del monte, advert for oranges 🍊, 😂
Thank you Peter for taking us around Bangkok and your travels.

So nice of you 🙏
Fantastic content as usual. Cheers Peter!
Glad you enjoyed it
I stayed here a couple of years ago - yes, very acceptable. Short walk to the bridge and the other way to the bars. 🙏
Great video Peter.hotel and surroundings looked great 👍🏼 if i go one day i will definitely stay there 👍🏼
Thanks Damon it was actually a beautiful place to stay I'm surprised it was so cheap
Kanchanaburi is a nice place. Peter did you hear that Steady Eddie had a minor stroke?
Yes, people need to look after their health
I can feel a Paul young song coming on
Where ever you lay your hat
That's your home
.
It’s a nice area for a trip from Bangkok. I went there last year , having a car to drive around is a big advantage I found.
Yes having a car is a real advantage
Peter, I like the hotel reviews. Maybe in the future you could do some more all around different tourist areas in Thailand.
I have another one coming out after the weekend from Lopburi
Great video Peter, I was in that restaurant by the river 20 years ago, very nice did you feed the fish! And the hotel you stayed in looks fantastic, must be quite new thanks for the info cheers.
Yep fed the fish
I really like when you do this type of videos, since I'm not interested in older men getting younger women videos, lol. Can you tell me how much this room was in US dollars? Thank you!!!!
About $38
About $40 a night, mate....a bit less depends on the exchange rate. 😊
Really you bringing up $2
Hey!... I'm only 64!...
That place looked so nice and tranquil Peter, i have been to Kanch a few times and that hotel will be my choice next visit, how delightful was that view when having breakfast. The Panama hat suits you sir, i actually treated my self to one yesterday from Marks and Sparks, very pleased with it, cheers.
Glad the video was helpful, yes it's a great hotel and the Hat will give you a look of distinction 😂
5 years to 50 then im there for good
0:34 ❤
Howmuch did you pay for the room?
I can't remember but I did say it in the video several times
@@ThailandBound That's why i asked it hahaha. i believe you said it 5 or 6 times. Just for fun. no hard feelings
Looking very smart Peter
You look cool in the hat
Great video Peter and the hat 👍
Peter I have to have breakfast there mate one day I am visiting Pattaya in October for a few weeks my daughters are getting older now so soon I be able to travel more
You must have let Mali sleep in on this morning 😁
She is on Kho Samet
Is the Top Gear bridge still there?
?
How much was the hotel a night ?
I don't think you really took in the video because I mentioned how much I paid and what it included about four to five times 😂 1,400 baht which included breakfast
@@ThailandBound only 4 or 5 times
Sad when sarcasm is wasted 😉
Well if you don't watch the video and listen to what I'm saying what's the point in asking me questions? Maybe you'd be better off looking at another channel
@ThailandBound Wow, even after I basically told you I watched the video, you still think I didn't.
I am taking the micky about how many times you said how much it cost.
😂 i got the joke even though it went straight over Peter's head ...
I recommend another two resorts : The Float House and The Jungle Raft.
I almost stayed there last month.
You should have done it's an excellent hotel
I would love to fly my drones over the river and the bridge and share the footage
You have to have special permission to do that in Thailand you can't just launch drones anywhere
How’s the fitness and exercise routine going Peter?
Better than Steady Eddie's at the moment.
Yes good Chris 8 kilos off already
Ive done day trips down there a few times. Maybe its time I did an overnight stay.
You should the bridge is all lit up at night
I’m sure that it would look amazing - just need to look at transport options.
Easy to get a bus down there it's a popular destination
Nicely said,,thanks for sharing..😊
Looking well peter 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Re the floating restaurant, where you had lunch , I was there a few years back , and went to the toilet, to take a piss , unexpectedly I received a neck massage from the attendant , while do this ,
Most unnerving
Peter
I guess he's not there anymore as I didn't see him
Shame there’s not a safe in the room. Looks like a nice hotel.
Nice hat 🤠
Great video!
Looks like a nice room Peter
Great 😊
For anyone who has never been..and u just ordinary joe..Thailand is EXPENSIVE..at home,would you eat out 3 times a day?..get taxis when you can walk a bit?..do not let this channel drag u in.I lived 6 yr there and know.Go Laos or Vietnam..or even Japan now cos their currency collapsed...but not as much fun.Put it this way,in 2001 i rented a room in Dusit for a YEAR for £400!!
Absolute twaddle old boy….😅😅
I don't think you even listened to the Video, I gave both arguments to whether it was expensive or not and I agree with the other guy who's left the comment below
Peter is right! Thailand is not expensive! Wonderful life & very affordable 😊
Spot on, take a woman around with you and paying to play gets very expensive.
Clown
Nice hotel and atmosphere but you need lady
Hi if you have girlfriend will be very nice to see her . That will give us some inspiration and some ideas to find girlfriend ourself

This one makes you look like an old man
That’s funny because initially he got alot of positive feedback about the Fedora. Sometimes you just can’t win 😅
@@MoshiraMitano I LIKE PETER. It’s only my opinion, as I like his youthful approach !
So I say keep the youthful look
