"Trusting God, trusting the feelings that you have in yourself, LIVING in each day, appreciate the beauty in each moment" - Joel. Well said Joel, well said. Truly inspiring.

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Thank you for picking up on this quote, I guess I can learn from my own words, why not :-)? Have a wonderful day today, thanks again for always commenting always giving me such positive feelings in these comments

[@queenkenya8311]

Joel radiates positivity. I'm so glad I subscribed. Love the videos of you riding your bike and showing us the beautiful landscapes of Northern Thailand. Hopefully one day I can try durian.

[@MealsofFoodies]

Thank you for sharing your heart Joel. I am enjoying your vlogs and learning so much from them. I'm praying that God will guide you as you work on volunteer teaching again. Have a blessed day!🙏

This is one of my favorite videos you have published and created Joel, and i appriciate you taking a couple minutes to explain to us, your fans, a heartfelt conversation, I cant wait to see more content from you as it is only going to get better and better. thank you and god bless :)

I live in LA County and discovered mangosteen at an Asian Night market they usually have it imported here in the summers. It’s my favorite fruit and so so good. It’s so expensive here, usually $5-$8/lb. I usually treat myself and some friends to some every summer. I hope to travel to Thailand one day and explore this beautiful country and try all of the amazing fruit and vegetables!

[@AKIL2PAC]

Great video bro , positive vibes as always 🙏🏼🤗thank you for sharing those moments with us. Bless up.

Hi Joel great video. Be safe and enjoy all those fruit. I love mangosteen. Never seen or heard of the eggfruit before. Durian looks good, I have to try it. God bless. I am glad you want to teach as your videos are so informative.

Yes..Joel..your inspiration comes from the right place..Trust God..hear His voice..stay blessed...live life by each moment...I always appreciate the simplicity and genuineness in you...surely you will go a long way....and by the way we miss out mangosteen n durian here in India...stay safe...Hugs

[@zerubabel777]

"Trusting God, trusting the feelings that you have in yourself, living in each day, appreciating the beauty in each moment; those are successes on their own." Wow, Joel. Powerful, profound, and beautiful words that I needed to hear. Thank you for your thoughtful reflection and for bringing us along with you on your journeys, especially at such a challenging time in history. :)

[@karenwolf5266]

What parts of the US have you been in? I’m from the Appalachian mountains. I grew up near the highest point called back bone mountain. Up above the clouds with snows that no one could ever believe. I could because my dad plowed that snow on that mountain for 40 years. He would take us out on bad nights to help or just keep him awake cause he would work more than 24 hours in a row. Just as you see majesty in the Forest I saw it in that crisp new snow. Even if the power was out for more than a week at a time, we always had warmth, food, and love.we never needed for all those fancy things in life. Watching you so enjoy even a beautiful sunrise or set, brings me back to those wonderful simple times. I think I connect with you because you remind me so much of the wonderful awww of life we found as youngsters. Of all the great lessons learned and taught to respect our elders no matter what. I went into nursing 28 years ago after being a volunteer EMT for 12 years in a very small tight knit community that included Amish people. You had to know how to respect people. I so hate that kids these days have no respect. I blame the parents. I just cringe when anyone says I want my children to have better than I did. What was so wrong with what we had. I had chores, respect my elders, and got my ass whooped if I didn’t. And that wasn’t even by my parents cause I used to stay on my cousins farm in the summers. Sorry to blabber on you just gave me some wonderful memories and some thoughts of how kids these days need sent off to be taught those lessons. Thank you for sharing a small piece of your world. Stay pure and may God always bless you for the wonderful joy you bring to others!

[@PREPFORIT]

This was a fascinating journey. I have been studying why it feels so good to reconnect or stay connected to the Earth when you walk in bare feet. It is called grounding and is a very pleasant form of meditation.

[@abigailhokai9131]

Joel and Li this is one of my favorite videos. I loved when Li friends sang in the car....too cute. Just using this video to put things in perspective, Li, her friends, you, everyone needs a day like this enjoying nature and each other. Appreciating life and its gifts, its fruits, love hearing the birds in the background. The place is peaceful and beautiful. Safe travels guys ❤

Yay! Another great video from my favourite foodie! Chef Li's friends are adorable bursting into a beautiful song with their angelic voices... and you cracked me up with your comment about the song being about Durian fruit! 😂 The amazing fruit is one of the main reasons why I want to visit Thailand and I cannot thank you enough for making these videos! They are really uplifting and they make me look forward to the day I travel to Thailand! What really stands out about you is your spirituality and your strong desire to give to others through your gift of teaching. "Trusting God" is something that I am learning and trying to practise everyday. Thank you Joel, Li and friends...for sharing a little bit of your happiness with us ☺️☺️☺️

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Busybee!!! Great to see you here, I always look forward to seeing your name and all of these comments you share with me.

[@lordyeoh]

What an awesome post. I really MISS eating durians and mangosteens living in Canada. Both are super expensive if you can FIND them. This post brings back so many happy delicious memories growing up in Penang, Malaysia. Sadly NONE of my current circle of friends eat durians and are turned off by the smell. I usually end up eating it by myself in a park, which attracts racoons who are my dining buddies. I would LOVE to treat you guys when I visit Thailand again after this pandemic. Thanks for this post, I will join you guys in spirit... Cheers

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Stephen!! So awesome so awesome, Penang, One place I still need to visit. I’m sure the fruit is just delicious and out of control there… All over Malaysia just amazing fruit but yes, I’ve heard that your hometown is special :) Very happy this morning to see you enjoying this upload, thank you so much for the support, really appreciate it thank you :-) hope all is well today, you have a cool profile photo by the way, with some Royal Canadian mounted police?

The small size mangosteens are from old trees, the pinkish mangosteens are 85% ripe and they are sweet and a bit crunchier in texture.

[@topixfromthetropix1674]

I think Thais responded more maturely to the virus and restrictions than some other countries in the West and the fact we can open up without sparking an outbreak is a relief. As far as durian goes, I have lived in Asia since 2012, several girlfriends and acquaintances like durian but I have thus far not tried it. My biggest challenge to date was Indonesian Eyeball Soup. Are you located somewhere near the giant toad?
