คนไทยมากองตรงนี้ ขอบคุณแทนคนดูทุกคนด้วยครับ ที่นำเสนอที่พักที่เที่ยวในไทย ที่พักที่นี้ ทำสวยมาก บังกะโล ก็ถูก แต่อาจจะไกลตัวเมืองไปหน่อย เหมาะสำหรับ คนแวะพักและไปต่อ

[@user-zx6sd1os4f]

แม้แต่ฝรั่งยังรักเมืองไทย พวกเรามาทำเมืองไทยให้น่าอยู่กันนะครับ

[@puwa555]

ผมว่าเหมาะสำหรับคนเทียวที่ไม่ได้อยากเที่ยวในเมืองนะ

Simon does a good job of keeping his chin up. He just finished building his dream retirement business in Thailand and the whole world shuts down. Some guys might not be able to handle it but Simon seems to keep marching on.

[@inlovewiththailand]

yes, it's inspiring to see how some people always stay positive.

[@aimnc8959]

well said... stay positive and stay healthy is the only thing anyone can do. UK will start vaccinating the country next week. I hope all goes well !! 2020 is such a crappy year.

Back in 2013 I lived in a rural farming village for 2 years and then returned to the city. Two years later I went rural again. You can't beat the people and the relaxed lifestyle. Until you've lived rural you don't REALLY know Thailand.

[@RetiredWorkingForYou]

it was an eye opener for me.

From several KZbinrs, they can learn and support each others. I am sure that Simon has enough pension or saving without any need to build this resort but he did because of his passion. From viewers, we can see preferred lifestyle after our retirement.
