@@daviddenham1511 Sir - What the heck are you talking about? Gary is being his authentic self and could care less about being famous or followers. I think you should take your own advice and mind the business that pays you. He’s doing what he loves! No one cares about your wife or Thai restaurants. If anything you just put your foot in your mouth because I’m telling my group of 1,000+ expats to avoid whatever you have going on. Grow up and stop being a jerk. He probably speaks better Thai than you : )

As a general rule, if you are running away from an unhappy life, you won't suddenly find life is magical in Thailand. Wherever you go, there you are. However, sometimes it takes a bit of travel to find where you truly belong. Best to be happy in yourself wherever you are

[@ThairishTimes]

Yep, but travel also opens a whole new perspective on life. Meeting new people from different cultures to your own can really change a person in the right way

[@stangoodvibes]

@@ThairishTimes oh definitely. And one of my favorite quotes from The Beach (the book) - "escape through travel works". Travel broadens your horizons, especially if you go to out of the way places. But... Thailand is full of Farangs running away from unhappiness, and at the end of the day you have to live with yourself wherever you are, so you know, if you have issues, they will follow you

It is worth reviewing your life. My revaluation happened after I'd just chaired a conference in Chartered Accountants Hall in the City. I stood there with a glass in hand and looked around to see most of the other guys were in mid 50's upwards. I thought I can't do this for another 20 years. I'd grown to hate London after 7 years there. I packed my job in, sold my house, moved to Brittany and live the life I wanted. Countryside, fishing, shooting, camping, travel, motorbike, study. That was 20 years ago. So glad I did. You only get one life. And three trips to Thailand !

[@destinationsroadslesstraveled]

I learned at a very young age observing people in America that they all looked miserable all seeking some status and it all just seemed so fake and shallow. Nothing wrong with wanting more money in itself and or the work or career or path you decide to follow in life. But if you are unhappy, miserable, and stressed. It is obvious you are doing something horribly wrong. The only reason I stayed much longer than I should have in my last job was it gave me the ability to travel six months or longer every year. I lived a very frugal lifestyle so was able to save a great deal of money in a very short period of time. In a way, I beat the system and fled America years ago and moved to Thailand. As Gary said it just felt right to be here. The Gary interview was long overdue and it was great to hear his views and the history behind his love of Thai food and why he moved to Thailand. In my opinion one of the few KZbin channels with a foreign host that truly understands Thai food and speaks Thai. Never been a fan of Bangkok but after watching his channel along with Bangkok Pat I am now willing to spend more time there and explore. The quality of the KZbin channels out of Thailand has greatly improved just over the last few years. As most are unbearably horrible and attract let's just say some very undesirable humans here. The last thing this country needs are more of the very people who have given us all a very bad reputation here. Keep interviewing Pete the foreigners that have a real love for Thailand and its people and those with higher quality channels like Gary's you can,t go wrong.

The source of PM2.5 is a vehicle. The latest data found that it is caused by car smoke 72.5%. Once the origin of the vehicle is known, the government has ordered it to be corrected by issuing various measures. Look at the problems caused by vehicles and open burning that need to be addressed urgently. But if comparing the dust value today with the same period last year It was considered that last year was much heavier. Look at the number of days that the value is more than the norm. caused by air This year, the weather has resulted in higher dust costs. More cars. and in Bangkok There is a construction of an electric train route. believe that all agencies will accelerate the problem of dust exceeding the standard according to factors This year's situation is better than last year. And I don't want people to panic too much,” said the Director-General of the Pollution Control Department. When asked about concrete long-term solutions Director-General of the Pollution Control Department said that for long-term solutions, there are 3 measures. The simple solution is to stop using cars to work. If we don't help each other, no one can help because 72.5% of the toxic dust comes from cars. so I want to request ask for cooperation because it is something that everyone has a part to do Solving the problem takes time. Which the Pollution Control Department has already begun to show an example by refraining from using private cars to travel to work every Wednesday. Only 1 day a week, the Pollution Control Department's employees have 500 people, all 128 cars, but for those who are not ready, they do not force each other. It's okay to ask for cooperation.

I'm surprised that the government have not introduced congestion zones and low emission zones to limit vehicle pollution. Just relying on people to voluntarily do the right thing doesn't work. What forces the issue is hitting them in their pockets. Not popular I know but it tends to work.
