Retired US ARMY SEAL and US FBA SPECIAL AGENT AIRBORN. Close quarter hand to hand combat VET, TWO Purple Stars and THREE Gold Stars. My father wanted me to become a coal miner like himself and my grandfather, coalmining is the main profession in my father's family. WHEN I joined the US ARMY, he was not happy, long storey short when I returned home from Nam in 66 he would not talk to me , in 67 I returned back to Nam for a second tour. My father never spoke to me again. It was only after my father's death that I had seen a old newspaper clipping of my father's serves as a US Ranger at Omaha Beach, he was the only survivor of his platoon. Dan

Looking at this VDO I have experienced pretty much like Paul some crazy encounters in India, Nepal and Thailand I left at 19 years old travelled to Pakistan India Thailand in Malaysia Burma in 1981 etc I was a bit of a Farang Kee Nock! Stayed with a Thai family for 2 years in 85/1986 where I learned to speak Thai The big difference compared to Paul I managed to join the United Nations in 1987 in multiple Humanitarian relief operations and continued discovering the world problems from the Gulf war relief operations to Natural disaster ie Tsunami to Rwanda Genocide to Liberia and Sierra Leone civil war and in DRCongo to demobilization in Mozambique to Lebanon with the Syrian crisis and to irregular migration in Indonesia and 10 years on the Thai Myanmar border with the Myanmar refugees to combatting Human trafficking ! I am now retired in Thailand since 2018 and enjoying Paul story as I see some of the same experience he had while travelling during the Hippie time ! No regrets managed to straighten myself when joining the UN and had great experiences also hard times in so many countries ! I Good old Paul never really switched off neither I am! 5555555!

Peace Corp, Thai passport. Heard him speak Thai worked for many Japanese families never heard him speak Japanese to them. I think he got into some trouble for giving out International Drivers Licenses maybe. Not sure if that is true. God Bless you John you really helped me out.

After all this is a guy that in his own words, amongst other things, sponged off kind poor Thai families for years because he saw their hospitality as weakness, worked for a human trafficking ring to help get the girls abroad where their passports were kept and they didn't get them back until they'd slept with 50-100 men to "pay back their debt". Lovely. Yes a real "character " this guy. We have a different word in Glasgow. It also begins with a c but is a lot shorter.

I do enjoy Paul's stories & after listening to this one, I'm beginning to wonder if they are just stories, this one sounds a bit like the (Breaking Bad) series that I watched many moons ago but for Paul's adaptation it's (Breaking Wind) the money that this guy was offering Paul sounds a ridiculous amount considering he was just a guy that he had just met, he does sound convincing & he isn't stumbling over his words, but I've heard many a story in bars from guys who come to Thailand, so this guy was possibly over exaggerating, strike me down if I'm wrong, but like I said I do enjoy listening to him, on a serious note, I did notice that his only that tooth that he had, has now gone, I'm hoping that it fell out through natural causes & that he didn't pull it out himself, as I know he had a lot of comments on it's solitary existence in his mouth...........

I saw your appeal for interviewees, and here is my response. I hope you get this and i apologize for the means of delivery. Forgive me, I'm and old fart. Here’s a quick synopsis of my Thai experience: I signed up for US Peace Corps 1n 1963 when I was 19 years old. They assigned me to the National Malaria Eradication Project under the Royal Thai Ministry of Health. In May, 1964 I went to work in an office in Khon Kaen that was responsible for the malaria work in both Khonkaen and Loei Provinces. I worked there until September, 1966. I was lucky in that my boss could say “Goose Morning” and "Hello” but he was the only English speaker in my organization. No one else spoke anything other than Thai or Laotian so I was in a perfect language-learning environment. We had around 300 permanent workers to supervise, plus another 600 sprayers (temporary, picked up for about 4 months each year (May to September). In quick time I learned to say, “Hello,” “Bia Tra Sing, please -- and “Where’s the toilet.” I was there during the beginnings of the US presence in Thailand as a staging place for attacks on Vietnam, and saw much of their development in Korat and Udorn. I visited forces living on the Thai side of the border who routinely flew bombing missions in Laos around Thakaek. I started teaching English to one of the secretaries in my office, as she helped me with Thai language. Well, things happen. We got married and have a couple of kids together. BTW, we were married on the grounds of the Ministry of Health next to the river in a palace that was part of the property the Queen Mother donated to the government to begin a Ministry of Health. My work involved say, 30% paperwork and 70%+ out in the field inspecting our house visitors and the staff that supervised them. More than half my time each month was spent in villages where people had never seen anyone except other Isaan people. There were a few expats in Khonkaen then (aid workers, missionaries, etc) and I’ve got lots of stories about them -- especially the missionaries. Other than my main job I worked with an organization called “School to School” where I was liaison between a local village or group of villages that needed a school and a donor school in the USA that raised funds to build the school. I completed the development of three schools in Khonkaen Province. Also, I started a pig raising Demonstration Project. Smack in the middle of Muang Khonkaen my little project (in my yard!) grew to 10 pigs. Very successful. While in Khonkaen I watched the groundbreaking and saw the first functioning building built at Khonkaen University. I also attended opening ceremonies for the Regional Courts. Khonkaen had a population of 19;,000 when I arrived and had grown to 22,000 when I left. It had two nightclubs. Isaan was all dirt roads except Tanon Mittaphab (Friendship Highway). Loei was a full day away on a dangerous road. The pretty lake you see now in Khonkaen was a swamp then, full of crocodiles. Communication was a challenge: no private telephones in the city. Highest provincial car license plate number did not exceed three digits; there were practically NO private cars in the Northeast. Traffic was trucks, buses and govt vehicles. With my colleagues, when we were not working I hunted, ate gibbons, got close to a tiger, drank monkey blood, explored caves. I had some chances to travel around Thailand, to the north, all over Isaan, Pattaya when it was a beach, At that time I don’t recall that there was even a single bar in the town. ------ I could talk all day/all night about that part of my life. Subsequent to those days I went to University, got jobs. We went back fairly regularly until around 1995 or so. I returned once as a bank executive Board Member of a Thai finance company subsidiary of the bank. Different life!! During the 1960’s my salary was USD75.- per month. In the 1980s I was staying at the Siam Intercontinental or Dusit Thani. ----------------- I have not seen anyone on your channel with my type of experience. It may be that I’m so far off your audience’s norm that it would serve your channel no good to interview me. However, If you are interested please write back. I’m leaving Calgary, Alberta (home) early tomorrow, but I’ll be back in a week. I’m not sure how internet-connected I will be, but as I said I’ll be back home November 1. I look forward to hearing from you. Keep the channel going; it is a treat to watch. You have a good interview style, but I enjoy your Sunday Lives just as much. Keep it up! And Cheers!

Why did you have to censor it every time he said MDMA but you left in him saying heroin multiple times. Are KZbin more cool with heroin than extasy?

Thailand and all of its cheap vices is a major draw for many expats. These vices attract many of the less desirable men from lots of countries. And these questionable individuals shed a bad light on places like Phuket, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Chiang Mai, and parts of Bangkok. So, as an expat living in Thailand be very careful who you associate with, as many folks keep their sordid past hidden.

I heard about a well-known Indian-based cult that ran Yoga lessons and gave out MDMA on Koh Phangan to recruit young Farangs in the late '80s and early '90s. They were after good-looking, well-educated Farangs from rich families; not surprisingly, they didn't want a bar of me.🤣🤣
