    Here’s the previous interview I did with Pat: ruclips.net/video/ET0Ixf-x0xE/видео.htmlsi=8-68saQo0JWQIOrh

    Met Pat briefly on a ferry boat in Bangkok last year he was taking a couple on a tour, really nice friendly bloke, maybe next time I'm. in Thailand I'll arrange to go on a tour of Bangkok with him as I was totally lost last time I was there. I'd love to know more about the city & explore it with someone who has his knowledge. Pete & Pat keep up the good work. 😀👍

    I think that both of your respective views of Bangkok have their merits.
    When you both have a tube out simultaneously it's great.
    Pat = factual, historical and allegorical.
    Pete = experiences, conversation and handy hints & tips for Farang.

    I am looking forward to meeting Pat next week. I agree that he puts 100% into his content, but what I really love is that just when you are getting comfortable he takes you in a completely different direction. His Khlong Toei video is proof of this. I just wish he would do more music videos, they're perfect for Friday night chill out drinks.

    Awesome interview! I just started subscribing to Pat's channel a couple months ago and happen to be in Bangkok now travelling so this is serendipity! I love these stories. Coincidentally, I have been travelling/living abroad the past 7 years due in part to randomly meeting a British Expat in Hong Kong bar back in 2007 - and for some reason, his stories and experience convinced me that it was the Expat life for me when I became older. I just finished travelling to 106 countries over the past 4 years (a lifetime dream come true - and yes, straight through the worst of COVID when I was stranded in Malaysia for 6 months) - maybe you should interview me while I am here, haha!

    Yup, NASA Vegas hotel was quite run down. The cheapest room has a muskey smell back in early 2019. The amenities around the area was still decent. Fast forward after COVID, i noticed that the block across the road was abandoned perhaps scheduled for tear down. Wish that the BTS station could be more lively though. Dont know how Starbucks managed to survive at the bts shop without shutting down.

    When I say Pat is a newcomer to Asia, I realize that all is relative. 2003 is just last year, to me. Personally, I first visited BKK in 1971, and that was a totally different scene with the GIs and the girls hanging on their arms, especially as they sat front-row at the Muay Thai arena in Bangkok. Those babes of yesteryear were the cream of the crop, so to speak, at that time. I would be happy to do a video interview with Pete, if I were not such a bore. I have spent all but 7 of the last 52 years in Asia, mostly East Asia, up until the day I decided to move to Thailand, forever. I will say that much of the Asian culture has been lost from many Asian cities, such as Yokohama, Tokyo, Kyoto, Taipei, Shanghai, and especially, now, Hong Kong, may it rest in peace after the commies marched in. I feel great nostalgia for what once was before the hippie backpackers began arriving. So much to tell, and so little time. Maybe I would write a book about those times, if it were not for the fact that I am such a bore. Good Luck to all....and.....Chok Dee!

    Pat, you are correct, when you love cats they can feel it and know it. Pete when I used to go home to Ireland my mother hated cats. Every time I went home they would come around and make friends with me and only when I was around. One morning someone left the back door open and a lovely white cat comes in the house, avoids my mother and finds my bedroom upstairs. It was freaking funny trying to get her out without the mother knowing. I told her about it later when I was safe back in New York.
