[@pithius2191]

Enjoy the relaxed style of interviewing, but yes, you are right..."What's the schtory" doesn't help the actual story 😂

I got married in Koh Phangnan June 7 2017 on Secret Beach. Im Divorced now but its one of my favorite memories. We traveled around the country for a month and ended our trip with our wedding.

Very nice interview with a very smart Steve. Thank you. Would like to see him again on the channel in the future

[@stephencomerford5783]

Very kind words, thanks ❤

[@antonyloc]

Really good interview, thanks Pete!

[@Constellasian]

I started watching Thairish Times recently. I noticed that Steve basically said the same things Forrest Lee said in an interview on this channel 2 years ago. A lot of advice provided by Steve and Forrest were great, but pretty much common sense. I'm glad Steve found a new life in Koh Phangan and seems to be doing well. I don't understand why Forrest received hate from a rather large handful of viewers, whereas Steve didn't seem to receive the same treatment.

[@ThairishTimes]

Interesting, I think Forest received a lot of criticism when he talked about the disagreement he had with an older American gentleman

[@joooowoood]

Definitely get him on again, great character and direct with what he thinks

Thx 4 all these interviews Pete. Hope you’re enjoying the summer. Happy 2 be back in Atlantic Canada 🇨🇦 for the summer & will be back home in Taiwan 🇹🇼 at the end of the summer

[@ThairishTimes]

Been loving the summer so far!

Nice interview mate. I would love to move to Thailand one day. I’ve been to a few places over the 6+ times I’ve visited. I went to one of the half moon party’s in the jungle in Koh Phangang 2009. That was crazy but fun. I hope to retire in Thailand before I’m 55. I’m from Dalkeith Midlothian btw but live in Wellington NZ. My dad was brought up in Craigmiller/Niddrie back in the 60/70s

[@stephencomerford5783]

@@craigwilliams6337 ahh, Craig, thanks for the comment pal. Go for it, get all your ducks in a row and make the move. Wellington is lovely (as are Craigmillar and Niddrie) btw thats where my dad used to police 👍 im from just down the road in Musselburgh. Flying the flag for us Scots here in KPG 👍🙏👌👊

[@craigwilliams6337]

@@stephencomerford5783 Aye a seen that on one of the previous comments mate. I used to go to Musselburgh as a kid and jump in off the harbour. Lovely wee place. I’m a long way off retiring in Thailand but it is a dream of mine. I’m 38 so still a long way to go but know it will probably fly in. Stay safe mate and I wish you all the best!

Very clued in on Thailand's success at staying Thai despite temptation to sell out for foreign $€£¥₩ long may they preserve their beautiful countryside and people.

If you don't offer them a monthly salary, they will walk away. Stay away from Massage girls and Bar girls!

[@DakotaTPatterson]

Steve was the victim of a father who could not live a double life. A police officer must be a dictator at work and then suddenly be a diplomat with the family. Very few officers can be two different personalities at once. My neighbors never new where I worked and my wife never new what happened at work. Steve's father should have never revealed to his children about his line of work. I was trained to make something up and stick to it.

I work primarily with Brits, mostly Scots and it's not uncommon for them not to understand each other well. @8:14 You can't imagine spanking your child's buttocks with an open hand leaving no marks within a certain age range for doing something they knew was wrong? Weird. PTSD.....what a crock.

[@rhizomorph-music]

Do you mean you work primarily with UK people? Scots are not Brits...

[@stephencomerford5783]

Not talking about a slap on the legs mate, im talking about getting beaten with a thick leather belt as a 6 year old. Trust me the mental scars are real.

[@1983jon1983]

These “20 year” ago stories I wonder if he was even there. Koh Phagnan was never 100% backpackers. Also encouraging the 50k baht living like a king lifestyle 😂

[@stephencomerford5783]

Trust me pal, i was there. Koh Phangan in 2002 was backpackers heaven, as i said very few oap's and honeymooners like it is now and completely different to 20 years ago. Maybe you've never been to KPG 🤔🤔

Bro these guys ASK for it, literally, you wanna date a ratchet women expect bad things to happen, are they that desperate, honestly 😂 some people aren’t content with being alone. I just don’t understand.

[@willsmith39]

He moved down south as a kid and lost the accent, what are you on about? I was born in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and obviously had a strong American accent but at age 7 my dad and mum who were from Paisley moved back to Glasgow. I don't remember it but within 6 months I sounded totally Glaswegian and still do obviously. Your accent is pretty malleable when you're young

[@stephencomerford5783]

Just because i dinnae talk like I've just come down from the highlands doesn't make me English pal. Born and bred Musselburgh and proud 🙏👌👊
