Thanks Ed, a couple of more episodes in Australia then we are back in Thailand for a while.

Thanks Ed. I will be traveling south during burning season. I'm in Australia at the moment (heading back to Chiang Mai in a couple of days). I'll have a couple of things to do there before I head south mid Feb, to Bangkok and beyond.

I remember dunking them in my hot chocolate when I was much younger ( I couldn't eat them without dunking because they were too hard). They are also very good in this cake.

Thanks Ed glad you got to it.

Congratulations.

It is a good place to just be...

It was pretty nice! I'm glad I got a burger eventually.

Bit harsh..........but, never a truer word said..........................

Thanks for the feedback Jack, I'll reconsider the font before I upload my February Chiang Mai places video. Glad you are enjoying the videos.

Happy New Year to you too. So far so good here in Australia.

It's a hat I picked up in Laos to keep the sun off my burning nose. I am in Australia at the moment and have picked up a new hat! No crocodile teeth though.

Happy new year Roger. Thank You for joining me on the journey, and thanks for your kind words.

Thanks very much. I hope 2025 is good to you as well.

Thanks Ed, I'm glad you are enjoying them.

Thanks. Hope you are the having a good time too.

Thanks Martin. You too.

Thanks.

A little bit before Loi Krathong, not quite a week. My Loi Krathong video is up next Thursday.

The noodle place is great. I get tom yum style which is a little bit spicy, but you can get regular there also.

Hi Ed, in fact I am in Australia. I recorded a few videos before I left to cover my trip. Will be filming one or two while I'm here. But not many. Glad you are still enjoying the videos. Enjoy the cool weather.

Yep very relaxing.

Thanks very much Ed .

Thanks Ed.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Haus does have a good atmosphere, and very nice food too

Thank you for your very kind words, and for taking the time to check in on my journey.

Chiang Mai is a nice place to walk around (and live). Providing you watch the traffic. I'm glad you are enjoying my videos.

Hi Ed. Yes I think so I did a series of costs videos in 2023 and my total came in at around $1,100 USD per month. It is possible to spend a lot of money in Thailand if you want, but as you have seen I enjoy living a pretty simple lifestyle. It all depends on what your expectations are.

When I made the final move here it took me a long time to get rid of all the things I had accumulated, but it was worth the effort. There are not so many trains in Cambodia. I think Phnom Penh to Sianookville is a train route. But not much else. So Mainly Bus and air travel there. In Thailand overnight trains (with sleeping berths) are a possibility. Saves on accommodation cost and is a good use of sleeping time. I really like the overnight trains but some people hate them. If you don't fancy climbing in to an upper bunk, make sure to book lower berths. Better view in the morning too.

It is on Chiang Mai Lumpoon Rd. Quite close to the Nong Hoy Market. On the other side of the road and back a bit towards the traffic lights near the hospital.

@@52weeks52 many tnx, I'll go search.......

No worries.

I do enjoy my mornings (any time of the day really) on the balcony... And yes Peter Pann is a great spot to stop off for lunch or a snack.

Thanks Ed, glad you enjoyed the video. If you are waiting for the Ping to run clear in Chiang Mai it is likely to be quite a wait.

Thanks glad you enjoyed the video.

Coconut green tea is a blend that Monsoon Tea on Chiang Mai do. They do many different blends with Black, Oolong, and Green teas; as well as unblended varieties. I like the subtle flavour of their coconut green blend and drink it as an iced tea in this warmer climate. You probably could add coconut to it if you wanted to give it more of a coconut punch.

It works for me. Travelling can add a bit to it, but for day to day living I find it pretty comfortable.

Thanks Ed. Hope you have a good Christmas and New Year. I'm prepping to head back to Australia for the holiday season.

Thanks mate. Yes close but no cigar! Lunch was delicious, Pad Kaprow muu sup. One of my favourites. Glad you enjoyed the video.

500 bath a day That's surviving,not living.

Hi Darren. Where abouts are you located in Thailand? Some places can be more expensive than others. What would be an average daily spend for you and what would you spend it on?

Hi. Welcome to the channel, and thanks

The last cheap one I bought lasted five years, so I guess it will average out.

Thanks Ed. I'll be heading back to Australia for this Christmas too, so I'm sorting out the details now!

Thanks Ed. Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes it is the cool end of the year in States. I'm about to head from one warm climate to another.

I got a real me C65 for 5799THB. My phone was an OPPO!

Thanks Martin.

Thanks Dan.

Thanks mate. You are right. My phone needs are very basic. The only problem is every time I buy a phone it gets bigger!

Thanks Garry, glad you enjoyed the video. Chiang Mai is very nice place to be indeed.

Apart from the burning season, terrible air quality and probably a reason not to live there

I use burning season as an opportunity to travel!

Thanks mate. I guess I have just been listening to too much Lou Reed.

@@52weeks52 You are welcome. Thailand roads are much more dangerous than Australian, European or US roads. Glad to see you walking everywhere. Great exercise.

​@@tomdrewenskus8167yes I am much fitter than when I was sitting behind a desk. You see more when walking too

Thanks Ed. It was great to get out and see there are still things for me to discover in Chiang Mai.

Thanks Ed
