Good time to leave with burning season getting going. Excited for what’s to come!

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Cheers mate, the burning hasn't been to bad but it's good to get away for a bit. Loads of adventures coming. Thanks.

[@roberthornbrook8374]

Wayne I haven’t drank coffee for over 6 months now and my blood cells red and white have gone back to normal are you going near a beach Wayne ?

[@roberthornbrook8374]

Hau hin

Nice one Wayne. Made me sad seeing the state of Lucilles arsh at the beginning. Glad you got her sorted out. Take it easy.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

She was in a right state! That Arsh was stinking.

[@dkexpat2755]

Man, I just subscribed and i hoped to meet you somewhere in Chiang mai, wanted to go say Hi to you. Anyways thanks so much for your videos Wayne, you was a big part of me coming back to Chiang mai. Im staying tuned on your channel. Great videos.

[@mikeredmon4981]

Wow! They've done a tone of great work at Pantip Plaza since I was there in January. Happy to see that they've revitalized that place. I love Pantip.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yes Mike, it looks really nice inside now. I'm glad they done it up. It's in a great location. Cheers mate.

[@stevemahoney6493]

Safe travels. I leave for Samui in a week, back for Song Kran. A long drive but geatest feeling in the world is a nice day and a long road.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thanks Steve, hope you have a great time in Samui. That is a long drive, but as you said, great adventure. I might even see you there buddy.

[@Deadfoot-Dan]

I'm in Bangkok now and headed up there in a week or two, I'll pick up the slack Wayne.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Take care of her for me mate. I'll be back soon. 👍

[@GazCooper]

The fact you can see the outline of the mountain shows its really not been bad at all this year I can see the mountain from the Wild Hog Saloon and we have almost always been able to see the mountain this smokey season last year and year before went weeks without even knowing there was a mountain there. Safe travels mate

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yes mate, it's been really good with the smoke. Ever since I done the burning vlog, it's been great. I was heading out on the travels anyway. Nice one Gaz.

[@Traveler2112]

[@stevens8785]

The day before, all organised and ready to go. Good on you mate. Absolutely no idea what you are up to this time Wayne so my wild guess would be some of the islands down South you have yet to visit but if you are being more adventurous and going International then maybe Malaysia commencing in KL. Wherever it is looking forward to your adventures. Cheers Wayne 🤩

[@WalkAboutWayne]

All will be revealed in the next few days mate. Thanks man

That's totally up to you . If you're worried about the smoke, it hasn't been too bad.

[@MyJourneySolo]

I will be there mid April for Song Kran. Maybe I will see you walking.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Nice! I might see you buddy

Do you use a helmet mount or handlebar mount for filming whilst riding Lucille? Also, which video editing software do you use? Thanks Wayne!!

[@JasonVerney]

1. I love that vege place - been a few times. 2. I’m staying not a million miles away from where you got your bike sorted & that “Quik” yellow place (although heading to BKK for a month, partly as my film is in a movie fest there! And conveniently I’ll keep away from a lot of the Pollution;) 3. Yep, leaving card in machine is a classic & happened to me - on one, maybe 2 occasions! 4. Managed to open an account myself here in CM. On an extended tourist visa & no need to show any rental agreement. A different bank though. Keep up the great work!

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Nice one Jason, hope you have a good one in Bangkok mate 👍

PKK would be one place i would love to visit, the seafood looks great done there. Mate can you talk on camera with a few Lasses down south, like you did with the Photography Lass and others. It just adds a bit more fun to the Vlogs. Safe Travels.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

I'm hoping to go there at some point, hopefully soon. Haha all depends how things pan out with lasses mate, my vlogs are all just spare if the moment, I'm sure we'll run into some ladies though. Cheers 🍻

Hi, Any condo's in escent , That you posteed?

[@WalkAboutWayne]

[@brentonlett3417]

Don't you just love the scooter ride down Mun Mueang road with all the road patches! Why don't you use the vehicle washes in Nong Noi along from the transport office, I think they're 80 baht for a scooter? Wished you'd put a link up to the Vegetarian restaurant so we could give it a whirl.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yeah that is a bit of a bumpy ride 🤣🤣. Can get the bike washed for 40 Baht in Chiang Klan mate. But Shell are my guys, they do the best job. Thanks

[@LeilaHellier]

I think your heading of to the islands, wherever you go i hope you enjoy it.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Hmmm maybe Leila. Thanks 👍👍

[@watahyahknow]

i went to a place like it to get my rental scooter cleaned (it helps against them going over the scooter with a fine tooth comb after returning it trying to make you pay for scratches if you apear to have taken care of the rentalscooter ) they gave me a brandnew scooter with just about zero miles on it that still had the wax and the waxpen markings from the factory written all over it , asked the guy take the markings of and remove the protective wax he just hosed it down with the pressure washer and done a waterwax dried it and put it down as done the yellow waxpen markings where still on it , and he wasnt willing to do anything about it there was a detailer across from the washing station and he borrowed me some stuff and a rag to rub those markings and the last of the heavy waxprotection off the rental place apreciated that i brought it back clean and shiny

Nice! Yes, some rental places can cause a few problems .

I don't go out drinking much mate, so I'm probably not the best to ask. I've always gone down near Lot Kroh or inside the old city.

Any thoughts on the new Thai tax laws, with regard to foreigners, Wayne?

[@stevejohnson2130]

Probably no more than anyone else has, it's a matter of wait and see, don't have to be submitted till 2024, if at all.

[@west_wind_55]

My guess is that if you spend 180+ days in Thailand during 2024 (they can easily pinpoint those that do), you should expect 15% to be automatically deducted from any remittances into the country in 2025. It'll become difficult for those living on tight margins to continue residing full time in Thailand without using some creative workarounds

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yep, nobody still has a any idea. But it's like the guys above have mentioned, it will be 2025 or not at all.
