FAQ:
1) "What's the name of that theme song?" It's called "Whatever," performed by Trevor Fisher and The Special Ones.
2) "Why are there so many lighters on the beach?" Ninety percent of the plastic trash in the oceans comes from city streets. A dog knocks over a trash can, the trash goes in the gutter, the gutter goes to a sewer, the sewer goes to a river, the river goes to the sea. The sea grinds most of it up into microparticles, but lighters are made to hold compressed gas; they are enormously strong and durable. They'll float around for years and never even lose their bright colors. Most of the lighters I find were probably used by street food vendors in Yangon to light their charcoal braziers.
3) "Aren't you afraid of tsunamis?" There has never been a tsunami on Turtle Beach and there never will be one. Tsunamis are only dangerous in shallow water; it's very, very deep right offshore here. That's one reason the turtles like it here.
4) "What if Turtle Beach becomes overdeveloped?" Very little chance of that, and if it happens it will because they finally build the international airport in Phang Nga. But even then, the geology of the place is against development. Even if they some day revoke the protected status of the national park, it will still be too deep to anchor a boat here, so no yachts, no speed boats, no long-tail boats. No jet skis or parasailing. Also, we are not in a bay, protected by headlands, like any tourist beach you can name. Six months out of every year the wind comes off the sea like a freight train. In two years I've paid twice to have the front doors repaired; they were literally blown off their hinges.
5) "Steve, you're a narcissist." Yeah, I say as much in almost every video. I was diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder when I was seventeen years old. It manifests itself in many ways, including a variety of facial tics and a compulsion to touch my face and hair when I'm excited. You can see me do that in every video. Between 2003 and 2007 I was housebound with social anxiety disorder. I suffer from insomnia and stress-related vertigo. I am an only child of a single parent, so narcissism is page one in the DSM. That's why you won't ever see anybody else on this channel. No meet-ups with other vloggers, no interviews, no walk-n-talks on crowded streets or in markets. It's always just Steve, alone in some deserted place, so that the focus always remains on Steve. But thanks for that facile and ill-informed diagnosis, Doctor Obvious. Are you going to send me a bill for all that insight?
6) "Steve, sometimes you react aggressively to comments." No shit, Sherlock?
