My Daughter’s NEW One Bedroom Condo In BANGKOK. (Bangkok University)

Today I visit my daughter Annie's new one bedroom condo in bangkok. It was a bit of a rush job getting this condo and I'm excited to see where Annie will be staying for the next 2 years. We also go and play a bit of snooker and have a yummy lunch.

Hi James, actually I was surprised how cheap that apartment was considering all the facilities. I'm sure Annie will love it there :-)

[@maverickflint1991]

Very peaceful, quiet and safe there 🙂👍

[@brettharman3909]

Mate. Super cool 😎. Looks like you are doing a great job for your daughter 👏

[@Jefe_Perro]

G'day James, Nice new gaff your daughter has. Much nicer layout and impressive shared facilities. Love the bum gun test😂 Looking forward to the father and daughter snooker sharking videos... 😎 Take care.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers mate, hope all is well. 👍

[@simonnz7193]

Great condo, like a studio size but really good design being able to close the bedroom off and having the kitchen off to the side. They have really done well with the facilities. I would stay there no problem. Thanks for the vlog, always good from you.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers mate, agree and appreciate the kind words. all the best.👍🍺

[@ShoelessNomadThailand]

Love the attitude 'Just the way it is'. Great dad.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers mate appreciate it.👍🍺

Good video, nice condo complex glad Annie is happy she potted some good balls at snooker 😎👍

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers mate, Yes she'll be hustling for real soon LOL

2:25 Damn that are some very high heals.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Yep, nightmare after a couple of Leos.😁👍

[@weescotsguy66]

When I rent out my condos the cleaning of the air-cons are done every 6 months, paid by the tenant which is 500 baht, we have 4 units so we get a good price on the cleaning and they do a good job, so much so we get them to our house also. For Plum Condo we rent out @7K so might have to raise our prices.

[@tomkee8019]

Nice condo and lucky daughter. Well done James.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers mate, appreciate it.👍🍺

[@kerryobrien71]

Thanks James, good spot for Annie.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers kerry, yes, Annie loves it there 👍

[@Dave_Tae]

Annie's a real beauty keep an eye out on her.

[@andyroid7339]

James - Always a good Video as ever! What may appear mundane is very enlightening! I'm sure you know it but, with your wonderful intelligent daughter and living in such a beautiful country, you are one very a lucky guy! Best Wishes!

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers Andy. Appreciate it mate. Hope all's well.👍🍺

[@henrybae]

Thanks for the update mate. In hua hin at the moment but will be heading home to Chiang Mai tomorrow. Look forward to catching up on what's going on with you and yours when I get home.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers mate, safe trip. 👍

[@TheEssexboys]

Nice video James, looks like you got a good result with your daughters new condo, looks clean and tidy place to live with some great amenities 👍🏻 thanks for disclosing what the starting problem was with the pick up, so new glow plugs sorted it out..hope you had a good drive home listening to your 80’s beats 😊

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers mate, always listen to 80s playlist driving to Bangkok, love it.😁👍🍺

[@keithd1219]

Man, do I miss those days with your whole life ahead. The note on the glass door condo entrance to prevent drunks, like you said, from banging into it...been there, done that 😁 Lovely apartment....thanks for the tour...always love your interactions with your great daughter

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers Keith, appreciate it mate.👍🍺

[@Bo-tz4nw]

Great tourist selfies!

[@simonyee5524]

Greetings from Malaysia. Merry Christmas. Today is the first time i came across your channel. Pretty interesting. I'm surprise at your daughter's thai slang and British slang . 👍

[@TheLukanda]

The kid is lovely. Good upbringing I'm sure. Cheers mate.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers mate. Easy job being Annie's Dad. 👍🍺

[@nickdavies3334]

That looks a nice, safe place to stay while doing the studies. Good price as well. best from us both. Nick & Yisa.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers Nick. Hope you're both doing well.👍🍺

[@frankatheboy]

What a good dad you James good luck for you and Ann. P.s you both looked really good at the snooker

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers, appreciate the kind words mate.👍

[@willsmith39]

That place looks incredible! I've just had words with my own dad about my student days and the accomodation HE organised for me. "Where was my tropical infinity pool dad ? How about my luxury co working space, state of the art gym, steam room & sauna and cooking studio? What sort of dad are you? " "I'm 84, leave me alone" he said. "And where was I supposed to find a tropical infinity pool in Glasgow in 1986?" I'm not happy with his answers to be honest, or his complete lack of accountability. I might have to put him in a home I told him - and one without a cooking studio. In all seriousness though James your daughter is very clearly a really lovely person and your relationship with her is obviously fantastic. All credit to you and your missus of course for raising her right. I have no kids of my own but I was back in Scotland this summer and spent a lot of time with my 20 year old neice who is reading Physics at Edinburgh just now and my nephew who is 16 so just doing O levels and they are really great kids. Well not kids any more I guess, but great young adults. I feel like the younger generation oftentimes gets a bad rap from us oldies these days and in my experience at least unfairly so.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Appreciate the kind words mate. Certainly strange times for youngsters with so much exposure to social media. All the best.👍🍺

[@koolkats9312]

Great video and great new condo for your daughter, and great prices in comparison the UK student accommodation she is living in paradise. This just inspires me more to leave the UK and live life fully abroad where there are nicer people and quiet locations with great community and safety' 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers, yes , she's very happy there.👍🍺

[@fazbell]

Very good price and seems well-located.

[@farangutan6773]

You love them James you spoil them to death with your money . Never mine they are good kids . I have a daughter half Thai like yours same age attending university . Way of the world lol .

[@jamesabroad8589]

Totally agree mate.👍🍺

[@minimalistation]

What a great Uni unit..............ideal in so many ways....................glow plugs btw.!

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers mate. Not sure where I got glow stick from.😁👍

[@minimalistation]

@@jamesabroad8589 your rave days of course!!

[@AsiaStreet365]

Place looks great👍

[@nwils6944]

I worked up the road at Thammasat for a year. The condos outside the university were 14k+. Lovely campus, but a touch too far out of town. Pathum Thani is a bit a a strange place.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Yes, that area is a bit odd, but plenty of places for students.👍

[@maverickflint1991]

It's a good thing she has a 7-Eleven that close 🙂👍

[@troyvine3987]

FYI....Theyre called glow plugs James. Unlike petrol spark plugs these things need to heat up the combustion chamber to start the engine. I have the same make n model as you and have to replace mine regularly here in Oz, during winter is worst. Im jealous of you n your daughter living the dream in my favorite country. Enjoy.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers for the info. Mate. Certainly cool old engines. All the best.🙏👍

[@RodRockets]

You’re a great dad mate !! 👍

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers mate. Easy job TBH.👍🍺

[@VistaThaiGuy]

I had a condo there back in 1998, KU and other places for the regulars...check out the pet street mart, mate!!!

[@maverickflint1991]

It is a nice condo she is at now 🙂👍

[@escapesjc7936]

As always a video on everyday life in Thailand..a great condo deal and no roommates..5 hour drive Henley and Human League cheers !

[@darcy6874]

Holy Shit, Annie is a good snooker player, did she mean that plant?

[@jamesabroad8589]

Of course mate .😎👍

[@andyinasia0]

Hey James, great to see you guys again. Wow that's definitely an upgrade on the previous condo. I'm sure you don't mind spoiling Annie a little bit 😅 Hope all is well and Annie is doing good at uni. I'm still trying to decide my son's first school 😬

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers Andy. Good luck with choosing a school. Can be a bit of a minefield.👍🍺

[@maverickflint1991]

Little terrace is nice.🙂👍

[@sergefranchois1701]

250USD is still a bargain IMHO. Especially seen the kitted bum canon. That complex has a ~ resort vibe to it :-) Out here, dorm prices are going through the roof and you get nowhere near the amenities.

[@jamesabroad8589]

True, you get a lot of bang for your buck here and the rent is worth it for the bum gun alone LOL.😁👍🍺

[@samoday2992]

Was working on the 35th floor of a condo in Vancouver yesterday . This place of your daughters was much nicer about the same sq meter … vancouver $4000 a month .

[@Ned88Man]

one of the most expensive cities in the world.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Yes, much cheaper than anywhere in the west and great facilities. All the best 👍

[@YuChiGongG]

Cabernet Sauvignon: There was a time in the USA when I would drink that exclusively, while at university. Great Wine. But now, for Bt.399, I would expect at least a two-liter bottle, and then...OK! I seem to recall that I had a higher disposable income when I was a uni student...

[@kevhall4802]

Nice complex with lots of cool amenities. Looks more like a resort than student accommodation. Couldn't help doing the comparison with what is on offer here in Australia which is much more utilitarian than bkk. So the condos are owned by private owners? Looks like tertiary education has spawned an industry around it for accommodation and investors as well.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Yes, privately owned and always rented out. Not a bad investment opportunity.👍

[@Rumbar57]

Thanks James, in Australia at the moment and wife will be returning to continue the search for a condo. Good to see what the Plum is like as it seems popular with many. Shane 🍺

[@jamesabroad8589]

From what Annie says, Kave condos are more expensive , but close to BU. There are apartments near the university but not so good security and electricity/water up to owner. Plum a bit further away but ok and reasonably priced. Good luck.👍

[@mightay6672]

[@maverickflint1991]

No beer in that refrigerator? 😂

[@joe-pm3lb]

wow that not the Thailand I left in the 60s

[@YuChiGongG]

What is that white and black thing on the table, plugged in. Is that some sort of projector? 16:38 (That is quite an amazing setup for a college student, or anybody. Fairly large refrigerator, microwave, Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a rice cooker, and..... Something called a SMARTHOME, in black, but I don't know what that is either.). It seems to be the case that, for a given amount of money, BKK seems to offer higher quality and better living in places like this.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Yep a night sky projector. Certainly great place for a studen👍

[@YuChiGongG]

@@jamesabroad8589 I can't believe that I have never even heard of such a thing. Great idea. (When I was young, during the days before light pollution had destroyed dark sky, we would just walk outside to see the stars. These days, owning a telescope is sort of pointless, unless you live in Nevada or Arizona, or Hawaii.)

[@YuChiGongG]

@@jamesabroad8589 I wish all students were interested in the study of Astronomy. Especially the chemistry of astronomy...such as the reactions in stars, such as our Sun. Astronomy and the chemistry of stars is becoming a very hot topic, these days. (And, puns are good, too.)

[@wytchend]

Great to have a decent AC brand I’ve had places with the cheap brands and they are so noisy 😱

[@jamesabroad8589]

True, last condo had an Electrolux and bloody awful. Daikin are one of the quietest. 👍

[@wytchend]

@@jamesabroad8589 Some of the cheap brands are like sleeping with a diesel generator on!!!

problem with BU it is in the middle of nowhere... is this another plum condo? fresh ?

😂🤣😂 should have brought my mankini

I will bring it next time LOL

[@barrygunning8422]

Looks like a perfect student pad with good facilities without burning the pocket to much

[@jamesabroad8589]

True Barry, Great value and Annie is very happy there 👍🍺

[@akeman21]

No stove but is that an airfryer?...it is perfect for cooking. anyways, much better condo.

[@jamesabroad8589]

There is a portable electric cooker but Annie uses the air fryer, great and quick. All the best mate 👍

[@maverickflint1991]

[@maverickflint1991]

Prices of 12 and 15 would scare me too

[@jimcraiggeezer]

Seems a nice place..what are the transport links like? BTS or metro?

[@jamesabroad8589]

Need to get a motorbike taxi to the BTS at Rangsit, but not far.👍🍺

Dodgy snooker hole😂🤣😂

Glow Plugs ok not Sticks lol

[@KarmaCal57]

Hi James. How come we see you and your daughter, but never see your wife? Just curious 🤔

[@jamesabroad8589]

She doesn't like being in the videos. She has made small appearances in a couple of videos. 👍🍺

She has a few colloquial south London phrases. 👍😁

Nice vid James.

Cheers liam, all the best 👍🍺

[@connorw808]

Quick question. Does your daughter get treated different by the Thai people as she is half does she see any like racism towards her?

[@jamesabroad8589]

Not in a negative way. However, I do know some people who have had bad experiences of racism. Boils down to luck and educating your child and giving them good self-esteem. Her Thai friends treat her as if she were Thai and I would say she's more Thai than British as she spends most of her time here.👍🍺

[@connorw808]

@@jamesabroad8589 I agree from what I see in the videos, my half 2 boys that have lived in Uk from birth act tottaly different. Kids that have that childhood in Thailand seem to be much more well-behaved and respectful. Just my opinion.
