The last time you were on the farm I think a King Cobra was pointed out. There's the deal breaker right there!

Hi Guys, interesting sites thanks for the video.

[@TheIsaanFarang]

You're welcome

[@tonymatthews2344]

wonderful for Mama to travel down memory lane, she was clearly touched by the whole day. Pook had me laughing (as she often does...but 100% laughing WITH her rather than AT her) when she did the pig noise, then told you your attempt was disgusting!!!.......still laughing while i'm writing this :) the rubber trees have to be prepared and the latex is collected at night because it is too hot during the day and the latex will set. regards to you and the family :)

[@TheIsaanFarang]

Pook often has me laughing at some of the classic lines that she comes out with 😄 Thanks for getting in touch Tony.

[@Icanflyfreedom]

Thank you Tony🙏

I went there in 2018 and it's good to see most of it complete and in colour. Really nice video of this beautiful temple with stunning views. Keep up the good work Kevin!

[@TheIsaanFarang]

You’re welcome Nikolaos and thank you.

[@nikolaostheofilatos2028]

@@TheIsaanFarang I would recommend also visiting Wat Phu Tok in Bueng Kan. It may be a bit far from Udon Thani but it's definitely worth it.

[@TheIsaanFarang]

Went to this temple about this time last year. Your video brought back some lovely memories for me, in a different time. Hope things start to improve in 2021, so that I can come back and discover more of the beautiful land they call Thailand.

[@TheIsaanFarang]

I do hope that you can return to Thailand soon Warren.

Hi Kevin/puk looks like fun day at the farm.

[@TheIsaanFarang]

Always is a fun day when we visit the farm 🙂

[@walterandrain815]

Made the mistake of visiting this temple on a weekend in Feb on Makha Bucha day. There was a queue of cars waiting just to get into the parking area. Took forever to get up to the temple. Still worth the visit.

[@TheIsaanFarang]

We were told by the guy selling drinks from the stall that weekends are not a good time to visit. We went on a Friday and as you can see, it was fairly quiet.

[@dont9098]

Pook uses Thai satnav, writing directions on her arms LOL. What a fantastic day spent with family, looks like Pook's Mum really enjoyed going back home to see her family also. Great Video, Take Care Guys

Great video as always. Very interested in the rubber trees. I have been talking with a Thai lady that has 500 rubber trees. She lives between Udon Thani and Sakon Nakhon. I hope to travel there when travel restrictions are lifted. Thanks again for great videos

Sounds great. Thanks for sharing Michael.

I have a five year old Triton 4wd dual cab utility like that vehicle here in Australia not quite as luxe as your one and it has been a dream to own and super reliable and great on long distance drives here up to 800 kms in a day. Always surprised how few people carry a water bottle to drink from when out and about filled from a safe source in rural areas.

[@TheIsaanFarang]

They are great vehicles Keith.

[@peterpreen752]

they have some serious equipment there

[@TheIsaanFarang]

They do. Strong believers in reinvestment.

[@gregoryegan]

It always surprises me how happy some people are living a simple and basic life. In western society our happiness is often controlled by the items we have rather then the life we live. But the more we have does not bring more happiness. Me I have learnt that material things don't bring happiness. Though I like my comforts I think I will live a more minimalistic life in Thailand when I eventually move there. As I prefer life experiences and being around people that bring positivity and happiness to items. At the end of the day I want to say I lived my life to the fullest.

[@TheIsaanFarang]

The trappings of western life and what we "think" we need goes a long way towards the amount of misery and discontentment that we see there Gregory.

[@gregoryegan]

@@TheIsaanFarang tell me about it. The pandemic has taught me there is so many things you don’t need in life, and also what brings happiness. A calm peaceful life is all I seek now continuing to do what I love in life and work.

[@Baz-cv6pw]

Good video Kevin enjoyed watching as I do all your videos. I have been tempted on a few occasions to rent a car when in Thailand but always change my mind just in case get scammed, seen a lot of the videos on the Jetski scam they pull in Pattaya and Phuket and that worries me in case I get scammed with renting a car as you cannot always check the small details on the car as it might have a scratch that your never noticed when checking vehicle when you return the vehicle and they say this scratch was not there before and get done for it, I am assuming the extra you pay for the insurance covers everything, i,e if you have an accident or get it stolen or any scratches or damage, etc. Even here in England when you rent a car it is amazing how they point out some scratch or dent that you would not have noticed.

[@TheIsaanFarang]

That's right Baz. The additional cost removes any liability from the customer including the excess.

[@yorkymc]

Have to come again and tell you this is so beautiful the music and how you captured all ,you still look like bond in the pink shirt ha ha ha but i must say your wife is a true Thai lady graceful and beautiful i say this with respect to you both loving your life .

[@TheIsaanFarang]

😄...Thank you for your kind words.

[@michaelpatrick6808]

Interesting video. We haven’t been to this Temple but will do having seen your video. Have been to the Blue Temple in the opposite direction from Udon. Well worth a visit, also in the same trip is the temple where when you walk Into the forest before you get a real chill factor. I’ll ask Thanya it’s name. I expect Pook will know.

[@TheIsaanFarang]

The Blue Temple that you mention is stunning Michael.

If you ever decide to do an Issan Roadtrip then there is an amazing temple complex near Roi-et. I was told that the main building can take 4000 people and is the 3rd largest in Thailand.

[@TheIsaanFarang]

Have just mentioned this to Pook. She went there with her family before we knew each other. It's another place on her list of places to visit. Thanks for mentioning it.

Hi Kev, I like Thai coffee, made with the carnation milk, you are right though it is sweet.

Hey Kevin, that first implement was a Disk, the other in a Tiller.

[@TheIsaanFarang]

Thanks for the clarification Stacey...Can you tell that I'm not a farmer? 😂

[@loveaodai100]

With respect to those rubber trees... it is amazing to think that a similar process of tapping sugar maple trees begets maple syrup after boiling instead of latex!! Speaking of maple syrup... you may have tried delicious candies made from maple sugar. Here is a little life hack for people who love natural sweets and living in this part of the world... in southeast asia we have a common type of sugar palm tree from which a really delicious common brown sugar is made. When buying a brick of freshly made sugar made from the sugar palm the taste is very similar to the much much more expensive maple candy. Of course... most sugar is made from cane and is cheaper but the sugar from sugar palm is not much more expensive and is more natural and much more flavorful!! You can find sugar from the sugar palm in most local markets.

[@TheIsaanFarang]

Fascinating...Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@Oggiwara1]

Thanks for sharing! UD car rent is the best car rental I have experienced in Thailand. I bought a new Triton Plus this January at Mitsubishi outside Nong Khai. It is a very nice car to drive even if it is a pickup truck. And it is agile in the parking lots and around the Rubber trees at our farm as well. A strong engine is also a plus. :-)

[@TheIsaanFarang]

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed driving it.

Hi Jamie, We are planning on flying down to BKK soon and might be able to link the trip in with the tournament. Coach Bank is is a great guy. I'll let him know that you might be interested in bringing your lads up here. Can you email me; [e-mail] That way I can put you in touch with him. Thanks for getting in touch. All the best.

Kev cant you import a black cab over there you might be able too start a trend off I think it would look great driving through the town in that .....and also when I stop and ask for directions all I got was sorry don't speak English 🤨 straight up especially in London.

[@TheIsaanFarang]

After the years that I spent driving them around London, I really wouldn't want to use one here JJ. Besides...The aircon hardly worked in the UK. It would be unbearable here with the heat that comes onto the drivers legs from the engine bay.

The comment you made about dont have any rubbish bins anywhere. I have noticed that not just in thailand but all over southeast asia that you are walking along with a drink or something you really have to go looking for somewhere to dispose of it. Seems like it would be much easier to keep the streets and towns cleaner if they would do that I dont know why they dont. Its a little more frequent in bangkok but out in any of the provinces you might not find one.

[@TheIsaanFarang]

I spoke with a worker who collects litter in our local park which has recently been refurbished and has no litter bins. He said that they don't worry about bins as the workers will collect it al and recycle as they go. Strange reasoning, I know. But that's what he said 😶
