  • Thailand is a very diverse country; sometimes you think you've seen it all, but nothing could be further from the truth. Ban Krut Beach is only a 2-hour 20-minute drive from Hua Hin and is one of my favourite beach towns to visit in Thailand. So come and join me on my motorbike while I take a drive south of Hua Hin to the beautiful Ban Krut Beach.

      Hi mate I am glad that you enjoyed the video I certainly enjoyed making it in the lovely area of Ban Krut. Regarding car rentals, I have attached a link to a video I did a few months ago which was the last time that I hired a car. If you look in the description you will find links to the company that I usually use which is a lot cheaper than going through Hertz, Avis etc. And I have been renting cars from them for over 5 years and I have never had a problem. They drop off and pick up the car from your accommodation. The last one cost me 13,000 baht for a full 31-day month inclusive of all insurance. If they don’t have a car available try Baht and Sold online car rentals the link is there also.
      I will be starting an online magazine…The Retire in Thailand Magazine in August that you may be interested in. I will do a video about it soon.
      Safe travels
      Cheers

    Ged, i am always amazed at the serenity and also lack of aggression from the Thai people. With the rise of Islamification elsewhere on the planet, do you feel Thailand could go the same way?

    • @thailandmyland...retiringd2351
      @thailandmyland...retiringd2351  2 месяца назад +1

      Hi Stuart. Thanks for your input. I have lived here for 7 years now and in all of that time I have never felt threatened or even seen a fight. It does happen in places like Pattaya but that's usually drunken farang fighting amongst themselves or with the locals but when they fight with the locals they invariably come off second best. You can leave your motorbike with your helmet and bags of shopping parked and when you come back everything is still there. Many shops and bars close up for the night by just dropping a blind with no locks to stop people entering and the next day everything is still there. You can't do that in western countries. The Buddhist religion is a very passive religion and children are taught from birth that if they do good in this life then they will have a better life in the next life. Whereas from what I see the Islamic religion is built on aggression where men rule with an iron fist and any other religion is not tolerated. I am not a Buddhist but I am welcomed into their temples with smiles.

      Things are changing as many of the next generation are not the same as their parents and their grandparents but they still seem to live their lives in a better way than what I see of the kids in other western countries I have lived in.

    Hi Ged!
    Greetings from a warm sunny Middlesbrough (today at least😂).
    What are the long term rental options like in Ban Krut? The place looks right up my street?😊

    • @thailandmyland...retiringd2351
      @thailandmyland...retiringd2351  2 месяца назад +1

      Hi Nigel having lived in Middlesbrough for my formative years sunny is not a word I usually associate with the boro but good luck if it's shining. Long term rentals are no problem in small towns like Ban Krut as they cater more for locals and are not inundated with tourists pushing up the prices. The town does seem to be growing as each time I go new accommodation outlets are being built but it's still uncrowded though the weekends and Buddhist holidays can get busy.
      Be careful of that sun put on sunscreen, drink plenty of water and wear a hat 😂😂😂
      Cheers
      Ged
