[@620EDA]

Happy New Year, Bill! May 2024 bring you a full recovery! All the best, Linda and Chris

[@UTCM]

Thank you ! Hope your New Year is wonderful

[@jeaneallen4969]

It's nice to hear some successful relationship stories once in a while. However, it's the doom-and-gloom drama stories that are the most interesting. Happy New Year.

[@GlobalDrifter1000]

schadenfreude would explain that.

[@UTCM]

Just see where it goes .

[@musoal1]

Really good to see you out and about Bill. Hopefully 2024 will be good for you and Lek. Thanks for all the vlogs this year, even in the face of adversity for you. Take care and have a great 2024. Alan and Lillian in OZ

Greetings from Maddog. Pizza eating time. Pizza parking time later. Happy New year Bill and viewers. 🎉

[@UTCM]

Enjoy ! She said just missed you the other day !

[@UTCM]

You picked the wrong place . Gekko ! Buffet

[@jimrobertson6959]

@@UTCM I am not sure that's another place I've got a lifetime ban from so I just don't take my chances. 😀

[@David-uk7sm]

I think the difference between Vietnam streets and Thai streets is (except for one-way streets) that motorbike must stay in the inside lane in Vietnam (near the kerb). Cars seldom use the inside lane. Hence some protection for pedestrians when they step onto the road the motorbike can swerve and give way.

[@UTCM]

Yes seems to be better there even though more of everything

[@normanshearer1432]

God bless 🙏

[@briandumont7272]

Happy New Year! This will be my year, and I'm not just saying that. I retire finally in March and am moving to Chiang Mai July 1. Elite Visa paid for, ticket paid for. Just sell the stuff and move left.

[@UTCM]

Your all set ! You wontt regret it

[@fdre3wsd]

you're so right about the gravy

[@dovoso5685]

Hi, I do enjoy your channel but have a few questions. I am 70 y/o, Can you talk a bit about Health insurance and the coverage/costs involved ? Also, do they have elderly homes around Chiang Mai and what are the services/costs ? Thank you for sharing.

[@UTCM]

Insurance depending on what company can run from 200 a month to 600 . I use a company called WR Life you can find them on the internet and they will quote you ...As for retiment home and nursing home there are many . The cost range on how fancy you want but there are planty of them around to fit just about any budget , If you have more specific questions send me an email I ll do my best to answer ..

[@dovoso5685]

@@UTCM Thank you, I appreciate that

[@GlobalDrifter1000]

Went out for Ba Mee red pork noodles. A rare real Thai restaurant in the USA. It was about twice the size of Thailand examples. $14.50 plus 6% tax plus recommended 18, 20 or 25% tip.

[@UTCM]

I ll enjoy my street food !

[@PaulinAsia_]

Have a Happy New Year, Bill. I am still trying to decide where to go on New Year, Tha Phae Gate or Doi Suthep. Maybe I will spend a few hours at Thae Phae then head up to Doi Suthep to watch the fireworks. I heard about that guy who died. We should meet up one day for breakfast.

[@UTCM]

Yes I think Tha Phae your best option . Doi Sutep will be a nightmare up and down .

[@darwinjina]

Saw the thumbnail of the woman in high heels. Just thinking it's not wise due to our sidewalks, streets, parking lots, etc.

[@UTCM]

Thats an under statment

[@greedisgood3]

Burg Republic has been open for about 5 months. I was there yesterday. Very, very good ! The owner is in the imported meat business in BKK and they have a sister restaurant there.

[@UTCM]

Gotta check them out soon !

[@donald_carter]

When you said biscuits and gravy, I thought you were going to Butter is Better. We go there occasionally when we stay in Chang Khlan because they have gluten free options which my wife needs.

[@UTCM]

Had them before there

[@Androgen321]

Make sure those success stories are genuine. I have had three disastrous experiences with dating agencies in the Uk but am now extremely happy with my Thai partner introduced by a mutual friend.

[@UTCM]

That is the best option . A introduction

[@thankfulheart4266]

Not just Philippines they’re like that even more here in USA

[@Watashow17]

We listen to the bad stories because your an Ex real time USA Police detective and bring context with your experience Sir, Khrap Pom, would like fairy tale myself, go for it

[@UTCM]

Thank you !

Reporting from the southbound lane of Route 1, ninety minutes north of Bangkok, is Charle Hub with realtime holiday traffic updates:)

[@UTCM]

Haha

😁

[@penname.]

Look at your diet and look a the % of food that you eat without too much processing. The closer you are to the soil, the more anti oxidants your body will get. Easy snacks in Thailand are the fresh fruits and coconut juice, papaya salad, etc. they may not eat sweet potato there but that’s a great snack from an air fryer. Good luck.

[@UTCM]

Thank you .. Acculally my doctors have told me I need more meat products to boost my system

[@penname.]

@@UTCM I had a mechanic tell me to redline my car more. Good luck!

[@SteveSmith-zz4ih]

I also will be staying home, crowds aren't my cup of tea, that dating site C/F seems to charge a lot of money but i guess they aren't a charity - its all about money at the end of the day.

[@UTCM]

Havent checked out the prices they charge .

Happy New year to you all as well !

[@Niftynorm1]

I think the only ones who say you are picking on incidents with Filipinas are those who it hits home to.

[@UTCM]

Might be , I really give it no thought .... Just thought it was interesting to make a comment like that based on a few videos

[@lordbarondk]

I'm in chock 😮. Did you pay 345 THB? For a meal? And just a breakfast? Holy smokes!! 💰Paeng mak mak mak!

[@UTCM]

Yes thats what I paid . Gapow would have been a cheaper option at 40 baht

[@lordbarondk]

@@UTCM IMO sadly that's just adding to our (bad) farang rep. Much like the farangs - being guests in a foreign country - but still insisting on speaking English to Thais. I am both embarrassed and sad about such...

[@af186]

"The Liars Table"😂😂😂

[@fkaceng]

One thing I never understand is that Thais are supposed to very friendly but the friendliness does not extend to considerate driving behaviour. Speeding and not giving way are inherent problems. In Vietnam, people will give way somehow though they will horn you but in Thailand they will run you down. See you in Heaven.

[@UTCM]

Driving is crazy here . For sure .

[@212Roger]

Let me guess, “Christian Filipina.”
