Hey, if you liked that BIG RED KANGAROO T-Shirt I was wearing, be sure to check out worldwideshop.com.au/
Ol' mate Kars who is a big supporter of the channel and designer of the "Farang ATM Closed" shirt you've seen me wearing sells them. Show him some love and grab one! Cheers 🍻
This world could do with a few more Eddies. What a top human being. Great video Todd.
@@ponto08 I second that! 💪
Eddie is killing it with the house renovations. It looks great. Eddie is a character. Love him. You got to put a fence around the boundary of your property to keep that trash out.
Edddie really knows the lay of the land. Great video Todd. Hope you all doing ok. 👍👍 Harriet and Jim
Todd you got a great person renting but also treating as his house he's a proud man about his work 👏
Hi look at putting the new fence around 600 inside your your land then you can keep both sides trimmed up.And they can't use it as a retaining wall in the future.
That is a very smart idea knowing how they love to build the land up. Will take that onboard.. Thanks 👌
Thanks that was funny! Your new river home is really nice! Congrats!!
This house has such an amazing view.
Great to back watching you guys. Eddie is a machine, the house and area around it looks amazing. Build another house and I Eddie could be the caretaker.
Thanks for sharing, great video updates. Hope you do get out there and relax a bit at the weekends. 😉 😊😊😊😊
Eddies a great tenant who has done a fabulous job with the property. You and the the wife have done a great job on the house. Love it. 😊
Thanks Mark
Great job on the renovation, looks beautiful . Would like to hang out and drink some beers with Eddie on my next Laos trip.
Wow what an awesome video thanks Todd, Eddie cracks me up you two are forming a good friendship
Man my eyes where loving the view Todd, I been in SE Asia,
Eddies got 20 years on me, and 10 x times my energy. Love to buy him a pint some day. Salt of the earth !
Great video- love the update!
God I'm jealous!
I wanna sit out there with you guys and watch the sunset while we eat that fruit. At least I can look forward to more virtual visits. Amazing progress too. It's just gonna get better and better. Especially someday when you can sit on the balcony of the second cabin and look down the river.
🙏😊🙏
Tracer rounds! I have learnt so much from this video, brilliant
@@bengunn4373 haha 😆👍
What an amazing job done on the house, Todd. It looks fantastic. Eddie looks well at home there.
Hey David.. thanks! Hope you're doing well mate 🙏
Boy, me and Jan so enjoyed this episode.
@@davidpalmer7504 Great to hear mate, thanks 👍
Joe dirt reference 👍
Eddie needs his own you tube channel.
I love the river view.
Big red Roo T-shirt 👍! Nice
Its a bit hard to see but it says Dont upset the Aussie which is Kool
I love the videos about this property.
Looks great !!! Well done !!!
Thank for the update great video tod thanks the house look nice
That fruit is called ' Chompoo " on that big tree you found we grow it in Nakhon Pathom just outside of Bangkok. Beautiful fruit.
It's also called "Rose Apple" , and called "Jumboo" in Sri Lanka.
Looking good 👍
Nice place that I can only dream of… up keep up the good work
Good.vlog 🎉 thanks
Rose apple is the Farang name for that fruit in Thailand.The Thais call it "Champu".
I think thay fruit that Eddie had in the fridge is a jujube? Also, the house flip by Eddie and his crew is amazing! The property looks great (minus the trash dumpers)!
Great episode 👏👏👏
@@ColonelJohnmatrix1000 Thanks mate 😉
The first Australian property my folks moved into during the mid 60's had a Loquat tree, the fruit looks similar to what Eddie had you eat. I haven't seen or tasted one since those early days.
Hey Todd/Nee nee. The River House in Kokhea, looks great !! .And yes that awesome view out over the Mekong River to Thailand....how special is that ???. Eddie is doing a great job there ,and he's obviously loving it there. I like that saying of his..."Fences make good neighbors " ( ha ) ..
BTW someone had a good comment below, about the rubbish. The authorities there , need to put in place a rubbish tip ( if there is not one there ) .Maybe bring that up with the authorities and village chief ,when you meet up with them ....cheers ...Kenno
My wife in Thailand calls the red fruit rose apples. They are delicious.
Nice house and location. Eddie's done a great job with the yard and garden. Rubbish (trash) can be such a big problem, the unsightliness, the smell, the flies and rats. Also, where there's rats, there will likely be snakes. Especially with banana trees. Putting a fence or a wall up goes only part way into resolving the issue, hopefully the neigbouring property owner or local council will put an end to the dumping. Trouble is, that without alternative facilities, some people will dump anywhere.
Best thing with next door is to put up an electric fence but you will also need a camera so you can get some giggles for when they work out the fence is electrified
Knowing my luck I'd accidently piss on it 😲
Check pinned comment.. plugged ya. Cheers mate
No males have any excuse nowadays to not get tested for prostate cancer. AFAIK, It’s all bloodwork now and the physical tests (finger up the what’s-it) are considered unreliable and inconsistent as a primary test.
Anyways, Todd I love the videos. Hopefully I’ll be over there with the family soon!
Brian in Sydney Aus…lived in Newcastle for a few years in my uni days!
I live in Charleston West Virginia. I couldn't believe it when he said he was from one county over from West Virginia.
50:58 No idea about availability in Laos, but they can check prostate size with an ultrasound too.
Will enquire about that, cheers 👍
i reckon those Plums might be like the Thai and Indian Plums which are related to kakadu Plums i believe.
Great vlog 👍♥️🇱🇦
Happy 60th, Todd. My baby brother was born in '65. I was born in '55.
Not quite there yet mate, but thanks anyway 😆👍
@@NowinLao
It's only February. I didn't want to be late. ; )
My brother's is in August.
@@MichaelJonesC-4-7 He's 3 months older than me 😉
Great video, the house looks really good as does the garden.
I'm not sure about you Todd but I find I need a few weeks to get back to normal life after being at home with my family
big improvement in the baan.
💯🔥💙👍
Japanese plum is the fruit, I have a tree in Melbourne
🤗🙏🏼!
Ohhhhh🤤🤤🤤I miss those “Mark thanh “ I ate so many of those when I was there, I would buy a bag or two every time I went to the market. And the pomelos, I miss them too 🤤
Great video, loved it. Thank you.
Take care ❤
Rose apples are delicious
Can Eddie talk

Hi tod, back in the 80'S nz conservation had a education program about keep nz beautiful. The saying go's take only photos and leave only foot prints. I think it's time that the higher authority should start to educate people about rubbish.
Mark gar tun…apparently the name of that fruit
Rose apple mate. Chom poo in Thai
Todd do u think getting the village together and creating a official place to dump rubbish is possible
That is something that will have to be discussed with the Village Chief. Everything has to go through him/her.
@@NowinLao You might consider making a pledge towards the village buying property for that purpose if they don't have a site already.
@@Wapiman No doubt you'd understand Skip, if that property isn't close at hand, it's not going to change anything. They will still dump 😕
sabaidee guys
black chicken soup ! of course its extra good you get the munchies lol
❤👍👍👍🙏
That fruit in English might be called jujube
Jujube fruit in farang world...I think
Aussie words v US, that could be a video, get Eddie a few Tinnies, also get Eddie on the piss and laugh at his antics 5555, funny video today
Now there's a video I'd enjoy doing 😆👍
ICE in BEER - NOOOO!!!
Took me a few years to educate my brother-in-laws in the Philippines not to serve me ice in beer and now they they have been converted.
Yeah I know its a common thing in Asia BUT!!
Being an Aussie it is a sin to do so
Great video , as always Todd, You are probably aware already but your house will more than likely be targeted by thieves because there is a white fella in it. I would tend to install some bars in the top back section as well. Cheers Kenny, Cambodia. x Melbourne
@@Far_Ken_Gone maybe that's how it goes in Cambo Ken, but to my knowledge "white fella's" have very little trouble here.
@@NowinLao Great to hear. Cheers Kenny/
not saying they wont take anything lying around in ya yard.. like your AC condenser unit 😩 but would be highly unlikely for them to break and enter 🤞
@ Yes, I remember that episode , My Khmer wife and I might wonder over later this year, Also, off topic,: Its a good idea to install an extra fuel filter to the Troupy A minor cost but great insurance if you are away out in the Bush. Cheers Kenny.
,
@Far_Ken_Gone Yeah.. good idea 👍
Howdy Todd,,dude,,you're way more patient than I am! I'd have a hard time spending 10 minutes with Eddie,,let along,hours. The guy does rattle on,,but he has worked a miracle with that land. I think he's found a source of natural cocaine. Phenomenal energy. But he is way younger than I thought he was.The house looks great,,,the view from the right side of the property is phenomenal. Is that piggery on your land? Too bad you guys couldnt buy that lot ,,between your house and the neighbors. And add new fence. That shyt mess is ridiculous! The monks need to teach the parishioners good old fashioned " shame ". My Dad worked like Eddie until he was 80. Super healthy,,perfect BP and great cholesterol,,but after 80 the family inherited heart disease started affecting him. Doctors told us,,that no matter how healthy you've lived,,if youve inherited heart disease,,nothing you can do. I had my every 6 months cardiology appointments on monday. Everything looked ok,,my BP was 124/72 pretty close to perfect,,and my old has gone down from 618 down to 54,,I was really happy about that. That happened because I cut McDonalds completely out of my diet,,as well all most other fast food,,shyt food to be honest,,and I've cut back on my salt. The only time I eat fast food is when we have to make a trip to Billings for doctors or groceries. I bet Mina bug ❤❤❤ is happy to be back in school. The transformation on that lot is so amazing,,to the point of being shocking,,,in a good way! Eddie is definitely a hard hard worker.. glad you guys had a great vacation,,really glad your Mom appears to be in great health. The one in the Philippines is your cousin isnt he? Seeing your brother that came for your wedding made me think of the cousin. Well,,this was a crazy Marlon rant😂😅. Give my niece a squeeze! Tell Neenee,,I'm expecting to see her point of view on the Aus trip too🤔 Ttyl,,,Marlon
Yeah, that's James, my cousin living and loving life in the Philippines mate. Neenee's been super busy since we got back but will certainly get round to doing her Aus videos soon, no doubt! 😉👍
Always great to hear from ya mate and nice to know you still have your health. Take care brother
Looks like cashew or wax apples
Jujube fruit
Canada speaks proper English as well 😂
I think Eddy is drying out that weed and smoking it 😂
Eddie's bloody silly enough without it Bob 😆
Hi Eddie 👋..I know ya read this 😅
If you keep eating Eddie's greens, you might live another 50 years to about 150
I see what ya did there Rhys.. 😆
Jujube fruit. Chinese medicine.
Eddie needs some expats that speaks English cause he is nonstop talking. Otherwise he should learn more Lao.
Complaining and whinging in another country would cause you problems with the locals mate.
My wife isn't in another country 😉
Best letting the Plant Flower Then l Could Smoke it lol😂😂😂 Steady Eddie's a Decent Bloke hey!!
Fruit is Jujube en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jujube
