folks folks i lived in thailand also. he not the only one with skin in the game (lived in thailand). much BS here. much. all for likes, subscribe and make money off of selling non-truths on YT. remember folks YT is entertainment. there is no validity or truth committee. you can say, claim and talk about anything like you know what you are talking about. OK..he is maybe some broke farang that stayed in thailand. i respect him, he is elder. i would say 50% valid information for the most part, 25% BS and 25% fluff..especially of the widespread drug usage. who knows maybe he will say that was in the 1980s or such. pattaya and bangkok is better than most US urban citys. no gang fights, shooting, rapes...i never ever saw or heard a gun discharged ( yes, the bar probably have one..big deal). never saw one girl with needle tracks. the girls interesting to talk to fun and caring. you do not find that in many western nations and the US: but according to these two guys these are like "prostitutes" and sex workers. BS, for the most part. remember, man: many YT channels are for to push an agenda or make $ or both. it is entertainment. people watch and take this a some gospel truth. who knows he could of thrown this guy a few $100 for this story. NEVER once go anything ripped off from my room. i went drinking to another bar with one of these claimed "sex workers"..the other bar overcharged me. you think she would keep her mouth shut since "thai to thai" money. nope she told the waitress and they fixed it. no, no story of such here. had fun like I was back in college with the 20 something girl crowd. nice women. sweet. half moped and cleaned my room in the morning as i made breakfast and then we go to the pool. so you leave "gas money" under her purse big deal. so what. go to many college towns and see 20 something girls stoned, drunk walking out of one dorm with their shoes in there hand. that is college fun..but this is "sex worker". BS and then some. i was there also on R/R from irag. the girls and mamasoms cared and thought about me more than some of my own family and friends from the US that i was defending in iraq. in 2012 i went pattaya to have surgery from an iraq related injury. one mamasom from one bar paid a girl to help me at my apartment and recover. i "doubled" what mamasom gave her and then some. here is your "hell" these 2 guys are talking about to you. please folks. take this talk-"TV" show interview with a grain of salt and reality check. money analytics via YT and who knows he throws the old dude a few $ for this great "wisdom" that most of it is NOT. but this guy sells them as "sex workers". it is a DIFFERENT culture and nation. 100% legal. consensual and adult. IF you do not want that...do NOT go to thailand and loose out then. sorry: mostly BS story. thailand did not survive like 100yrs of being the land of smiles based on these two guys bs and agenda of how "bad the girls have it". tranquility, beauty and elegance= thailand again IF that is not for you. do not go. but do not put on mostly make-believe story and video like this one is selling.

Paul is one of the most legendary characters of the Thairish time🔝👏🙏🦾💛🇹🇭

[@judyengle7728]

Great story

[@lifeofrazor]

I've said it before but wow I can never get bored of listening this fine man

[@glennmoulton6458]

He is rolled gold😊

[@PixiePeachPomme]

Paul is a legend. I just binge watched all of his interviews with you. Everyone needs a character in their life like this. His story telling skills are something that can't be taught. Paul I hope you're reading this, you need to give us some more of your amazing stories! Looking forward to it!

[@seamusegan7127]

Paul is the old thailand we love ❤

[@difencrosby]

Yes, it’s really changed the past 15 years. It’s not the same place anymore that attracted me.

[@ronjones8981]

Paul is your best guest. What a nice and fascinating gentleman.

[@Steventravels485]

He's a amazing dude but I think he sometimes adds a little on but massive respect to the guy

[@martynbush]

Me, my Thai wife and our daughter were living up in the Isaan region in 2011 when the floods occurred. We didn't have flooding where we were, but we had big problems getting baby milk for our daughter, who was about 1 year old at the time.

[@DakotaTPatterson]

Thank you for spending a little bit of time with him. Elders often don't get many visitors.

[@jleach4278]

I can think of only one word for this guy, LEGEND

[@soiboi5151]

The legend is back!

[@chrisfinn7907]

I could sit & listen to Paul all day..lived his life on his terms and still does...long may it continue and hope we keep hearing from Paul..🤠

[@euanhosie]

Pete is a quality interviewer. Watched a heap of these now - quite unusual to have a KZbinr who is so well planned plus actively listens to deliver quality content v making it all about themselves. Bravo sir

[@ThairishTimes]

thanks very much buddy, I just love a good story

[@rijkie226]

Hope Paul will get very old, hopefully he can share more untold stories from his life. Thank you Pete!

[@ronanobrien836]

[@ThairishTimes]

Dia duit buddy

[@sivak8855]

Paul wallis is as awesome as ever! Looking forward to more unknowns 😊

[@danacoder2]

13:28 I love, love your attitude about learning the language... Yes, Thai is a hard language, but learning it is worth it.

[@dsf427]

Life is what you make it. Paul has lived a life many wish they had. Get out there don't just think or dream about it. Your BEST interviews are with paul. 😅

[@anna_m59]

He is such a positive , polite and honest person.

[@cheapcharlie7]

PW is such an interesting character. One of your best Peter

[@michaellabram5980]

The best

[@collo5034]

Interesting and educational, he's a force of nature Paul. Nice one Pete.🍻

[@Ryan256]

Paul Wallis is a great storyteller. I love your interviews with him!

[@johnnyaiken]

That guy is amazing.......

[@liamobrien154]

Waiting for for this big time! Paul is my fave. He’s a boy! He has endless adventures and stories to share with all of us that think we know it all… but when hearing this man’s tales… you soon comprehend that we are still very much wet behind the ears still. Wow!

[@MrTraveller.]

Great he’s back as he has the best stories. Legend. Cheers from Taiwan 🇹🇼

[@michaellabram5980]

Paul you gem…❤

[@_Alfa.Bravo_]

I like Paul a lot. When I see him I get reminded of movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" and Jack Sparrow

[@Powermass]

True! The bloke has done his reavin', entered risky straits and yelled "THERE SHE BLOWS!" more times than any of us. 😂😂😂

[@yourfavoritenetcitizen6525]

Right. They can have a competition on who has the most STD's between the 2 of them.

[@sydney8382]

😂Lol 😂😂😂

[@_Alfa.Bravo_]

@Seedpoppa561 ... Congrats on yout outcome

[@billyboy4438]

I've seen all your interviews with Paul, he is a true legend and an inspiration to us all & throughout all his adventures, his never lost himself or used the blame game for his misfortunes, yet flipped them to positives, learned from them and built on them, taking the lessons and moving onto his next adventure!! His attitude to life is where we should all be, not chasing money & material possessions, but living life and throwing caution to the wind, experiencing & living life the way it should be lived. The universe always took care of him, just like it would us, if only we had the balls to take a leaf out of his book...

[@markholland6657]

The Legend, PAUL!!! and the other legend Pete!!!! finally headed out to Asia next week, Vietnam first, then finally gonna hit Thailand.. will see how long I last!! lol

[@magnetkungarna342]

What an amazing life he must have lived 🎉

[@pauljames9987]

Love listening to Paul, he makes me excited to one day retire to Thailand. His stories are amazing… I’d genuinely pay money to sit and listen them, awesome guy!

[@Okram.31]

Love this guy!

[@mrrob6730]

Paul is a legend!

[@patrickcurtin8854]

Another excellent interview Pete .👌 Paul is a true legend love his attitude and prosperity.💯

[@user-rp8nf3mk8p]

Definitely your best. Guest! please have him back for more

[@RABernard]

A really enjoyable interview which I can relate to living in rural Sisaket. Much more to life in Thailand than the bright lights of Sukhumvit and Pattaya.

[@rosalind442]

I like this cat. Would love to spend some time with him and listen to his wonderful stories. I like how he described being alone and not knowing who, what or where and how much freedom that brings to a person. 😉

[@PaulWalliswriter]

Its an addictive feeling

[@cortelyons9540]

Hell yea Paul's stories are my favorite

[@rickyisaan]

Paul's an absolute ripper. Absolutely love when his interviews come up. Seems like a great bloke

[@ThairishTimes]

Cheers Ricky, lots more to come with Paul down the line

[@dreamchaser2521]

Another great episode. I always enjoy Mr Paul interview. Please bring him back.

[@MichaelChenCC]

Omg Paul , my mate is back

[@bobsmith9201]

Listening to Paul and his mannerisms reminds me of listening to John Lydon...great interview 👍

He's a legend. Thanks to both of you. When are both coming back to LOS Pete? Regards Tony

[@ThairishTimes]

Looking at flights now buddy

Love these guys.... They remind me of these two chinese guys I saw in this old hotel sketch.... Respect❤🙏

[@petercross6960]

I Love listening to Paul. Who remembers 'desert island disc'? - I would take a recording of Paul, not sure it's on vinyl though lol

What an amazing, unassuming gentleman. Very colourful life

[@MrTraveller.]

The Legend is back! Looking forward to watching more from you both

[@jimmyboysmovies1972]

Paul is such a great guy . His Thai adventures are legendary. He’s so likeable and you could sit there having beers listening to him for hours. Great to see him in a vlog again really good fun . Cheers Pete

[@ThairishTimes]

Cheers Jimmy mate 🙏🙏

[@johndigway]

Another interesting interview with Paul. I’ve only meet him once but it’s something I will never forget. He’s such an interesting worldly chap, full of stories and exactly the same in real life as he appears in these interviews.. He was a guide/interpreter for a sak yant Ajan master, that’s how I met him and I’m sure some stories related to this would also be really good to hear! Thanks for sharing Pete and keep up the great work mate 🙏

[@PaulWalliswriter]

Wow I think I remember you sir!

[@PaulWalliswriter]

Of course, I remember you sir, the name wasn't a giveaway. Hope the kickboxing school is going well.

[@youthought3161]

Great as always interview with Paul .. good stuff Pete 🇮🇪

[@foxpatterson5505]

Great stories as always. Small world I live 28k outside Khu Khan small quiet town.

[@jamessmith1652]

Love this guy's stories. Maybe someone can interview and ghost write the book for him, no shame in that. I'd definitely read it. Stories like his can only come out of interesting places like Thailand, Amsterdam and such.

[@gertdrok]

Pete, Again a nice interview with a sympathetic man mr. Paul. 🙏

[@nokchilton1562]

Yay! Paul again!! Love to hear his stories.. thanks Pete to bring him back again..

[@ThairishTimes]

Thanks Nok, Paul will definitely be back

[@anna_m59]

I come back only for paul’s interviews.. great storyteller! 😊

[@farangfangsae447]

Any chance you could link all his episodes in Chronological order for other followers of your channel? I didn't find it easy trying to get them together but maybe I'm just an oldie.

[@rockon8174]

Your interviews ROCK!!!!! SUBSCRIBED!!!!

[@ThairishTimes]

Thank you buddy 🙏🙏

[@jasonsharp8621]

He reminds me of one of my long time friends I sailed with on ships for 20+ years. I bet the stories he could tell ya are fascinating. I love conversations with the old timers. They tell you as straight as it gets.

[@JamesTatum-hq1ym]

I’m an American living in Pakrett, Nonthaburi and I want to meet Paul and will pay him for his time. Just be.

[@martinpeacocke8968]

I always enjoy Paul. Thanks to both of you!

[@MrTraveller.]

Excellent Thanks guys 🇹🇼

[@Nttmf]

I’ve watched all Pete’s videos on him and I’ve enjoyed seeing him again. My first thoughts were a decrepit person overstaying. How wrong I was. He knows the script.

[@williammit1332]

Absolutely interested, I would love to know his life story. It's the bliss I'm intrigued by.

[@ArchibaldBiggam-js7tk]

It would be great to listen to Paul talking about his spiritual life

[@ian-wu2bb]

Hi Pete. I am a long time follower and I am not tech savy . I was trying to find the interview you did with the guy who spent 3 years in a thai prison. It is and hands down your best interview

[@dougm3037]

Great interview Pete. So nice to hear from an expat who isn't living in tourist central. When was this recorded? I thought you'd moved back to Ireland.

[@karlpurcell3443]

That's a BIG shift Paul. I'd question his reasons for selecting it over other regions in Thailand. Great work Pete,hello from Koh Phangnan!

would love to read a book written by Paul

[@MyBrokenPassport]

Nice one Pete. Always love to see Paul on the channel!

[@rhondacrosswhite8048]

I've lived most of my life on the Gulf coast where we deal with hurricanes and flooding. It renews my faith in humanity when we're all sitting here up to our asses in alligators and no electricity but people band together to help each other out. We are great for the generator manufactories.

[@RobFomenko]

I enjoyed listening to Paul. As others have said he's a great storyteller. And I don't mind if he embellishes a little bit, he kind of has that right. I did take exception to your body language and wearing sunglasses during the interview. You seem closed off and not really into it. Paul didn't seem to mind, so I won't either. Snake could feed the village lol....

[@kayakcobber524]

Was in the Phillippines in 2011, while Typhoon 'Sendong' did strike. Saw many bodybags those days in Cagayan de Oro. Anyway Paul, as i said before the book 'Dignified Dying' is a good one!! And Pete wonder how your story will be 100 years from now??

[@eamonkelly36]

Everytime i see paul i think jack hawkins in treasure islsnd all the mind blown adventures i had with him in my teens in the wet and windy west of ireland thats how fell inlove with travel to asia and the likes listening to paul is cool you never know whats coming next tell him he should write book it would be abestseller 😮😮
