Each episode is a mini vacation. You have the most relaxed and enjoyable way of presenting. I don't miss an episode. Is the internet on Koh Chang good enough to run my business from there? Just emailing, uploading and downloading files, but little video.

Thanks Jeff. Internet speeds are pretty good all over Thailand these days but in hotels etc depends time of day/how many throttling same WiFi hub etc of course. As another commenter suggest below, always handy to have an unlimited data simcard (to tether from phone to laptop) from one of the big carriers AIS/TRUE etc -and ask if they have any deals on (I was lucky to get a 200 Baht/$6 month unlimited 10 Mbps plan). Data deals like this are targeted to local users, so usually on offer at the AIS/TRUE shops in malls, not at the airport.

Thanks Sam. Regarding FX, as much as I'm quietly proud & feel fortunate to be Canadian, there's a finite space to include FX conversions and our Loonie just isn't a 'main' currency of the viewership. In this hemisphere, there's more AUS viewers than Canucks. So, as our Loonie is equally colourful as the Aussie's lobster and pineapple notes (and both countries agree there's a 'u' in colour etc;) AND as we're both like a N/S version of a peso, suggest use the A Dollar quote as a reference. Cheers eh, STL

I'm glad to hear that the Ukraine women here in Thailand Ukraine people They are good people and I'm sure the Thai people are welcoming them to Thailand. I hope hundreds of them came to Thailand instead of the aggression that was here.

I went to Koh Chang this month. The beach is great and quiet, but I saw lots of elephants were chained in some rusty place and the owner sold some bananas to tourist for 50-100THB, it’s horrible. The elephants looks helpless. If you like this videos plz don’t buy the bananas.

You did a video a while back about activities on or near the river in Bangkok. What nice riverfront areas would you suggest I look at for housing options? Thanks in advance.

Hi Leonard. I prefer the opposite bank from Sathorn side as you then get both river/city skyline views (plus it's chiller on the other side yet mins to Skytrain or across on ferry).

Thanks Brent (and wife;) Dec/Jan 'normally' can be busy in Thailand as it's high and dry season. However, as things are still ramping up, next Dec/Jan should be ideal to visit (besides, lovely Koh Chang seems like it would be pretty chill any time:). Brazil? Still have not been but want to in future. Enjoy the best of both you lucky guys! STL
