I was lucky to be able to spend the first 16 years of our relationship going anywhere and doing anything we want. And we did! Now with our new baby I get to do it all over again through her young eyes! I don’t quite have the energy or desire to globetrot anymore, but the occasional trips during school breaks will be great! I will say that becoming a dad again at 64 is truly amazing! Hopefully Fawn’s boys appreciate the role you fill in their lives. So important boys have a strong male role model.

Respect to you Sir

[@Nordic_Sky]

Since the live chat is over, I'm responding to Nicholas here. Going to Muay Thai bootcamp is a great idea. As far as women go, I would make sure you are 100% healed before heading over, otherwise danger lurks. I'm 63 and my Thai wife is 31 and gorgeous. Couldn't be happier. We live in southern CA. There are amazing women there, but certain set-in-stone rules apply when picking one (stay away from bar/massage girls, don't go fast, beware if they need money or have debts, etc. etc.). Rob has lots of info on this channel about that. Good luck and happy hunting!

You look strong for your age. I have to work really really hard to maintain the mass that I have now that I"m in my 50's. I would take the doctor's fat remark with a grain of salt. Being thick and strong looking as one ages (as a male) is a much better look than thin and weak.

lol. I hear ya Robb about living in small space. My wife has a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment as part of her salary package. After 2 years living there l was not happy there even though l said I could because free. 😂 Built a house now and never been happier which also allowed me to acquire 3 dogs. Still have the apartment though as she stays there during the week as it’s 60km away. Take care.

Worked in Sing. for 10 years, met my future thai bride 2009 in Pattaya, brought her to New Hampshire(home ) 2011 married .. I have 3 kids from 1st marriage, so was not interested in another batch of kids as I was 62.. She was okay with that.. Now we have been hitched for 13 years. She was raised predominately by her farmer father, so she is a worker in all things, cutting down tree’s, building cabins, what ever.. If i am doing something she wants in.. If she had kids, I think it would be okay, as she does not put up with nonsense .. Coming back to Thai next month till Jan, and am looking forward to it.

[@brianheard4565]

I contemplated getting gym equipment at home but I just know I'll neglect it, put it off, forget to to it - whatever. Whereas I look forward to the gym session at Central. I can go there, run thru a routine, get it done, see the smiling faces, say G'day to a coupla other people there, then finish up satisfied that I've done it for the day. Only downside is I go to Mezzo coffee after and spend at twice what the gym session cost me ! 😅😅

[@resetwithrobb]

Done that exact same thing many times. Both are nice places.

[@MichaelPrudhomme-u7x]

You make a good point about having a place to go and see others, but I built a home gym during the lockdowns and it's been amazing. After my divorce, I only took half of it with me, but still, having an indoor bike, reverse treadmill, and some basics like kettlebells can be a great thing for consistency.

[@mangostickyrice555]

Thumbs up 👍 Robb

[@smileoften-ft3hq]

For my interests, best video of a relaxed Rob that agrees with what I have experienced also. Some points I am learning too ... In conversation the thai will be extremely polite and yes, you have to pay attention if they are interested or just being polite on continuing the conversation. I like to pick subject, I was drawing a new house having a coffee and showed the lady, she was extremely interested, wonderful feedback as she designed her house, yet I had to be sensitive when she had enough conversation. In relationship moments of mix up, thai will prioritize your happiness over theirs, bit of a Buddhist heritage or maybe foreigner treatment? I know if I am not smiling, it is immediate to be told do what makes me happy and she will support it. Meeting, I have met thai with little or no family, and because where I adventure probably a 1% chance she will meet a foreign man? The few I met prefer foreign man, however that is the minority as you point out. Children, my past was two children, son who was easy going, daughter who was very touchy that now she is 40 changed totally and we arr all now all close. Point is, children you never know just set a good example for them to see. You see everyone saying such a large variety of single or family just what makes you personally happy and squash bullshit and negative if that makes sense. Personally at older age I do not want the structure of even a dog and enjoy our freedom with or without a partner however I prefer a partner to share life with. Just my ramblings 😊 . Going Hua Hin area for the weekend, still learning area I want to live in Thailand as all areas have their appeal in this beautiful kingdom. Take care 🙏

[@stefanofazio9089]

ROB if you're happy don't stress it there are some things specially at our age that are better left unsaid . And it is starting to seem your still working even though your retired. . Hey Rob a word of advice visit a Buddhist temple once a week and learn about Wat Ban Rai Luang Phor Koon

[@BoninBrighton]

When your skills, awareness and wisdom all start to gel and you’re generous enough to share your insights with others it attracts people at your level and below, I think this is why your channel is growing. You’re taking people along with you on your life adventure; it’s a small crusade. As an Engineer you’ve been tinkering and optimising your life (like your motorbike!) your body , your relationships, making those constant minor adjustments that add incremental joy. I can’t see major rebuilds in your life required now after your back operation, although an Engineer is never going to be ‘content’ with the status quo! 😆 so the house build might scratch that itch for a while….

[@resetwithrobb]

Well, that’s very kind of you.

[@nigelmullen9546]

One odd behaviour ( amongst many) that particularly stood out for me was we went to a wedding reception for the son of the ex principal at my wifes school. It was either terminal or the mall can't remember which one, they had some kind of like conference rooms on one of the floors, anyway there was the usual several thousand pictures ( that annoys me no end) and we sit down for the meal and about 2/3 of the people there eat the food then just get up and leave just as the speeches are starting. The wife and her friends were about to do the same until i said no this is incredibly rude and not polite, so she explained what i had said and they all begrudgingly sat down for a further 30 min until at least the speeches finished.

[@landwater4388]

I'm trying to be as polite as possible, but perhaps the only one displaying "odd behavior" was you...the outsider. Do you see my point? Haha, anyway, I can relate to your feelings as I would probably feel the same way but as they say, when in Rome...

[@nigelmullen9546]

@landwater4388 I suppose you have a fair point. Its the little things that make it fun.

[@buddfoxx5955]

Robb, I can't help but think that there is trouble with your situation -just reading between the lines. As the boys grow older, there will be increasing problems as they push back more and more. Given that you are not the father but the outsider, I struggle to see how your situation is worth it as time ticks on for you, and they grow older.

[@zandig666]

Appreciate that. It’s a concern for sure. Other than having a certain amount of trust in Fawn and her family- which they have earned. There will never be a financial incentive for anyone to ever be rid of me. I have set it up that way. Thank you for thinking of me. Always appreciated.

[@Simon-o1c]

Hi Robb, I've been following your channel for a while now and recently became a subscriber. I really enjoy the unscripted approach-just wanted to say that I like your riffing. And I hope the next phases of medical treatment will give your back ongoing healing. I wanted to ask about the reasoning behind Fawn potentially "losing face" if you rent a condo. Is it because you're living together now and moving out could look unfavorable? I've lived in Thailand since 2018 and have been with my Thai partner for four years. I've heard a lot about "losing face," but this is a new one for me. Could you give some context or explain the meaning? I've lived overseas since 1999 & many countries/cultures have "Loosing Face" for various reasons. Thanks.

[@resetwithrobb]

Your first guess is correct. If I loved I to a condo it’d be seen as me “ moving out” on Fawn. Not that it would stop me if I thought that was in my best interests. But I honestly have never been able to find any kind of Condo that suits my needs. Surprisingly, I need a little bit of land to stretch move around, do a little exercise and I like private parking. The condos all have basically public parking which I do not like.

[@Simon-o1c]

@@resetwithrobb hi, thanks for the reply, makes sense. I used to live in a condo in BKK but now we live in Townhome - although we do miss the condo amenities from time to time, we enjoy our little Sathorn soi, the nice neighbors and easier access in and out of the house and for the car, parking isn't an issue anymore.

[@randyirvine5858]

Couldn't agree more with you about the boys being your biggest problem. A size 12 every now & then might discourage them from doing something down the track?

[@MichaelPrudhomme-u7x]

I grew up with a step-dad. Not sure how old I was, but getting a little big in the britches and being a varsity wrestler it was fun to play fight a bit. Let me show you a move, kind of thing. And I did alright. Youth has it's advantages. But I knew that if it was ever "for real" and the knuckles were flying that I wouldn't be able to hurt him while I would likely fold like a rice cake if the gave me a few to the jaw. He's 79 now and I'm pretty sure I could take him 🤣 I am curious, though, on the Thai culture in regards to oldest male expectations? For some reason, a gal I was chatting with from Thai Friendly specifically mentioned that her parents had passed, no kids, and she didn't live near her brother and sister (she also mentioned that I'd be her 1st farang so I was rather suspicious of her saying what I would want to hear).

[@resetwithrobb]

@MichaelPrudhomme-u7x a friend of mine is 77 years old and he’s a former champion wrestler. Like a real serious nationwide champion. I’m very certain he could’ve still taken me even in my prime when I just got my second black belt. Pretty confident I would’ve been nothing to him even back then.

I heard of an American who built a home on the wife's family land and the wife died. After the wife died her children inherited the property and because the American cannot own land in Thailand the childen were able to through him out of the house and the American was homeless with no money left to recover from the event. Get a good lawyer. Don't build on their family land.

[@resetwithrobb]

That happened to a guy a knew here. Very sad story.

[@JamesClampitt-ju5jd]

Is it you that wants a house built because you designed it or is it your wife that wants a house? Either way you built the fence around the property, installed a main gate and brought in dirt to elevate the land. Put in your trees, vegetable garden and turtles. Have your wife spend the money toward a house as it will be her house and eventually her two boys house. Go buy or rent yourself a condo in Korat which will always be yours. Do not be stupid and build a house for her as that will be money spent that will you will never get back. She could kick you out of that house for any reason. Be careful with your retirement money as could be depleted in a New York second.

[@BoninBrighton]

@@JamesClampitt-ju5jdhaving watched his older vlogs I think he’s only using disposable monthly income to build the house slowly and certainly not capital so seems ok 👌

[@shhindig]

If you do the math, that 800,000 baht rotting in a local bank should be placed in an investment account in the USA, The interest alone will pay yearly visa fees if you hire an agent. You will still have money left over, i.e., $24,000 x 4% = $960. $960- $740 (visa fees) = $220

[@whiterabbit3439]

Just my 2 cents... best to be legit...surrender the 800k. If it is cut in half by inflation over 5 years, the cost is 80k per year (1.5 months rent in many Western cities). It would be great if holding a property would work in lieu. The 800k protects Thailand. They could make health insurance maditory, and that cost would be prohibitive for many.

[@paulacres794]

Why on earth would you pay $740 in visa fees to an agent? Extension of visa based on retirement is ฿1,900 (roughly $60) and takes a few hours.

[@JamesClampitt-b3q]

It sounds like you want to rent a condo to have more room and freedom for yourself away from the village. It also sounds like the boys are getting on your nerves. Why not start traveling to other provinces by yourself to reset Rob once a month? Take off for 5-7 days. That will tell you if your wife is ok with that or not. If not, do not build the house until she gives you the freedom to do what you want to do as a retiree. You are not locked in to her and her family just like she is not locked in to your two children in the USA.

Hey Rob, so for most of October, I was bouncing around the Philippines doing a survey trip. and my conclusion is that I would only be comfortable living in the tourist islands of the Philippines. And what’s interesting is that I went to Valencia, which is a very popular Place within the Philippine domestic and Expat vlogger community. and while it is a really nice climate/environment. I didn’t see many ex-pats while motorbiking around. Which got me to trying to imagine myself, as a future resident, going for a jog around the neighborhood, , I got the impression I would feel like a Martian doing so. . So what’s your view on that? How much( as an example ) if you were to go for a jog in your Thai neighborhood, would you feel like a Martian? I could see myself going for a jog on Ko Samui , and feeling OK.. I think “a jog” for me is a good litmus test for whether I would be comfortable in a foreign community. if I could go for a jog and not feel like people are looking at me like WTF are you doing / and why are you even here? Thoughts. Btw, I hope your surgery/ recovery are Going well.

[@resetwithrobb]

We must be on the same wavelength, I went for my third jog this morning and I’m feeling no pain. Very happy about that and thank you for asking. As far as feeling like a Martian, that does not bother me one bit. I still get the “stare of disbelief” as a walk or ride my motorcycle somewhere or people go by the front of my house as I sit on my porch. I don’t need a lot of conversation to be happy. I find it kind of a drag if people want to engage with me too much to be honest so this works for me. But, if you need more friends and conversation and people around you speaking your language then you need to stick to the tourist areas for sure. I would look at the islands of Koh Sammet , Koh Samoi, and Koh Chang, or go north to Chiang Mai. I hate to sound self promoting, but my new book covers this quite well, all the money goes to my son with autism anyways. You might want to check that out.

[@segarnyagold1014]

@ thanks Yes, i bought the book over the summer. Dense with info. My conclusion after my Thai survey trip in May was Samui, and Phangan would work. And ofc anything similar. Maybe I could get to your level after being in country for a good bit of time. Thanks. And great to hear you’re well enough to jog. Amazing. Congrats

Hey Robb, have you gone through the US Visa application for Fawn so that she can visit America?

[@resetwithrobb]

No. Doesn’t really make much sense at this point. Thailand is better for me to heal and Fawn needs to work still. Starting the house build process as well. I told Fawn that means I’ve made a commitment to time here.

[@Nordic_Sky]

It is very hard for Thais to get a visitor visa to the US. It wasn't an option for my gf (now my wife). I had to bring her over on a K-1 (fiancée) visa. Fawn might be able to qualify since she is a public sector employee of many years and has attained some stature. Still, it is not a given. Sadly.

[@resetwithrobb]

@Nordic_Sky yes. Very tough. And I’m just not interested. When I go home that time is 100% for my boy. It’ll be 15-20 years before that changes.

[@Nordic_Sky]

@@resetwithrobb One thing I've noticed with Thai women is they are not particularly knowledgeable about anything outside Thailand, and not very curious. Is Fawn the same way? I would have thought they would be dying to see the US (and more of the world). But often, that is not the case. I'm not sure what they learn in school, but world geography and world history does not seem high on the list. For example, I've had Thai women ask me if we have a king in the US, and whether it is possible to drive from Thailand to the US.

[@resetwithrobb]

@Nordic_Sky I would say despite being well educated she’s mostly a village culture type. That works for me.

[@billclarke3754]

The easy going, live and let live culture of Thailand seems to enable selfishness, in both locals and foreigners. In Pattaya, it can be a challenge to cross the street, drivers, local and foreign, usually refuse to pedestrians. "I gota get there first!' 555. Rarely any consequences for being selfish, just the way it is and I don't see it changing.

[@resetwithrobb]

Interesting you mentioned this. And the new third addition of my book I expand quite a bit on the selfishness culture here and I emphasize a couple different times that it also applies to the Expats. I have no idea what’s in the water here, but new people have to really watch out for all the selfish ones.

For a retro style motorcycle I would suggest a Kawasaki z650rs or z900rs. I personally ride a ninja 650 and being a 2 cylinder has good low end torque and good for around town and on the highway. Gets to 180 km/hr quickly and very comfortable. Never had a problem mechanically in 8 years and 25,000 km. Just basic scheduled maintenance. I also ride aggressively. Z650rs has the same engine. I have houses in Prachinburi at Khao Yai mountains, and Rayong at Mae rim pung beach and can vouch for the finish and paint being good even in salt air half the time

If you have the money and you like the town of Korat rent yourself a one or two bedroom condo as you may find you like better than building a house on your wife property. You could plant fruit trees and have a vegetable garden on your wife property to earn some money at the Thai market before building a house. It gives you time to see how your relationship goes with your wife and gives you the freedom to be away from your wife to see if a Thai marriage is really for you. Remember, building a small house will lock you in on living there. You will need City Water or a well installed with electric motor which I do not recommend as a deep well is not good water and your electrical costs will go up. Oh yeah, air conditioning, repairs and etc. give yourself another 5 years before building a house.

@@resetwithrobb With a 44 chest, you're probably right where you should be, is my guess.

@@resetwithrobb One last question, where did you get your dragon ring? I went all over Yaowarat last time I was in BKK looking for a good one, but none caught my eye.

Sound is so bad here

Why does Fon lose face if you rent a condo? Most Thais won't live in those single room rows either (I see that in the videos where you're standing I think you're staying in there). Usually only very young people and low wage workers live like that. I think she'd understand completely.

[@resetwithrobb]

It’s important to her to live in her village. She would lose face if I left her village.

[@smileoften-ft3hq]

​@@resetwithrobbthere is a lot of positive to living in her village vs living away.

[@randyirvine5858]

​@@resetwithrobbDoes that mean the girl won't move from the village?

[@smileoften-ft3hq]

Personally my thought is they can have generations in that village and I believe they are happier there. Typical is they will move for you ... I am talking Isan women

[@resetwithrobb]

@philipdupont2308 this Is also true.

[@davidthailand2159]

Hey,rob why cant you touch your visa money?

[@resetwithrobb]

It’s one of if not the most popular methods of funding your visa here in Thailand. And that is to keep ฿800,000 in your Thai bank account and keep the balance above that limit for a roughly 6 months out of each calendar year, etc., or each renewal date I’m sorry. But you get the idea. Way, but that’s how I started

Classic Flashback U-tube channel. About famous 'older' rich musos with their beautiful much, much younger wives. Funny how it's ok for the rich...!

[@JamesClampitt-b3q]

Thai people will not invite you to anything unless your wife is invited. They do not speak English and your Thai is limited. Better for you to find some Americans to talk with.

[@MichaelPrudhomme-u7x]

Reminds me of my ex who is Chinese, and good lord! it was horrible whenever she'd be at an outing or even if a few came to the house. All from Hong Kong so their English was spectacular but it went Cantonese hard and I could stand about 15 minutes of it 😂

Will you marry fawn?

[@resetwithrobb]

Yes. Down the road. Fiancé is a good fit for now.

[@JamesClampitt-ju5jd]

If you marry her legally you will be responsible for her and if you decide to divorce the Thai courts will give everything to her. You are not having children with her so why marry legally. As of today, you could break up with her and find a new woman without any problems from her. Those two boys will never leave the village unless you are willing to send them away to college. Get ready for the up coming headaches with them as they get older. Your wife cannot say NO to her boys but you can. That is where you will have future arguments and problems with your wife. Go get yourself a condo in Korat and do not build that house. My opinion only Rob.
