Reality is no matter where a person goes everything becomes the same. People will always be "searching". You can move to every place on this earth and you will eventually fall into a routine. The beauty of life is having peace within. As long as you have that it doesn't matter where you are at. This is not directed at James per se, it's just life perspectives. Like someone said having hobbies keeps you busy.

[@motorwouter]

Exactly 😉

[@kimberlyswanson5349]

I love when people drop random gems like this in the comments…. Literally my favorite thing in life 🥹🫶🏽🥹🫶🏽🥹

[@Aggie4life77]

I couldn’t have said it better myself!

[@djjackson24]

Man, cant wait to enjoy the beautiful views. Leaving on a flight today to Pattaya!!!

[@JetLagWorldTravel]

You need more hobbies like fishing , boating , hiking , biking , things like that to keep you busy

[@bigradwolf5001]

Right, that's why I'm very happy here.

[@hamburger--fries]

Had a condo in Chiang Mai since 2004. I really hate bars where bar girls work. I prefer bars where they serve food and only can fit 20-30 people. You can mingle and enjoy yourself. Maybe try other parts of Thailand?

[@BMacMac-gg3um]

James, THANK YOU! Thank you for allowing us into a snippet of your life brotha. Ty for sharing Thai life for those of us who have been there and can't get back for whatever reason. I would love to move there, I just can't leave the kids and grandkids. So ty ty ty brotha!

[@mikeyboy3054]

My wife who is Thai and myself are getting bored of Pratamnuk. Like it here a lot but it's a big world out there. Routine can wear a man down. After a trip back to Canada this summer moving to Samui for a change of scenery. After that? Who knows. Maybe another country for a while. Need to have new experiences.

[@larryc1616]

"One night in Bangkok...."

[@toddsellars4694]

Hang in in there bro. Avoid spending on others (all others). Establish a tight budget and stick with it. Guard your bank accounts and in the funds in them as if your life depended on it. And stay strong!

[@DNice..]

another great video james

[@frankkie3849]

Nicely done,,great tour,,thanks for sharing..😊

[@London_Thomas]

The video quality from your camera was pretty amazing in this vid!!

[@bigdaddyl-rob7445]

Great video as always, James! That Moto Taxi looked familiar to me TOO! Maybe I might "Q"uestion the driver's identity! The price difference between S.E. Asia and the USA is like night and day!

[@maddawg22]

19:34 The shade thrown at US maintenance shops 🤣🤣 Word my brotha, word!

[@markalanl]

The Walmarts in my area still charge $35.99 for oil changes.

[@kevbocometh]

That taco place is actually pretty good, I was there when they first opened and the birria was legit!🙌

[@Lu-ir5mz]

😂😂😂You are a trip bro 😂😂😂. Awesome video. James is a rolling stone....where ever he laid his hat was his home 🇺🇸🪖🫡

[@kennycrypto8228]

Great video. We will be in Thailand next week!

[@whyimsmarterthanyou]

Oh oh, James by neon. Ringin' bells and chattin' up the ladies. Looked and sounded like a brilliant day.

[@jayhersker6286]

Only boring people get bored.

[@NocturnalMissSo]

There's another vet van lifer I started following recently who's based in Oregon. He's been visiting some really beautiful forest preserves in his area. I actually told him to reach out to you for more info since he'd like to move to a country like Thailand or the Philippines eventually. He couldn't afford rent anymore on disability so he ended up in a van on his social security. I hate seeing so many folks in the US ending up in their vehicles due to rent costs. I was looking into it for myself, but my brother needs regular housing. If you're feeling restless, have you visited any of the cave systems in different countries? Some of them are huge and they have special tours for the public.

[@knowbs2122]

Walking street for me is finished , absolute horrendous noise from one end to the other

[@calvinhosworld]

I did Sunrise once a week. There weren't too many taco options in BKK near where I was living. I wasn't picky. For being in Thailand it was damn good enough.

[@carleto9597]

You got a deal James, 200 Baht, great price. So enjoy your day there.

[@MR-jt2rh]

I just left Pattaya a few day ago!…😂 Amazing ocean views specially Grande centre point hotel and highly recommended.

[@manoverboardfiddyaintnuthi5314]

Oil changes typically $40-75 depending on type of oil. Good vibe though.

[@richardrichforever8981]

I’m be in Thailand in January can’t wait

[@MarkEvans22]

Nice to see Soi Pothole is living up to its name 🤣

[@jeremywatley849]

Hey how are you james? Firstly, i have enjoyed the videos you have produced lately. Im 34 years, i was just curious what visa would be the option to stay long term in my age group? Take care.

[@wernerhaase2632]

Es ist und bleibt ein Abenteuer!!😊

[@user-pr8px2gk6g]

Yeah man I was not too impressed with the taco shop at the mall, have you tried tacotaco on Soi 9 off klang? Good mex food ! :)

[@genericchannel5899]

Chocolate Man in Lapland is the solution. Go pet you some reindeer, eat a loaf of bread with a whole fish in the middle, and jump in the snow after getting whipped with tree branches in the sauna! KZbin gold, guaranteed!

[@Daveyoung-qi1tf]

What's next chocolate man in japan😂

[@jmsiii4751]

He's former military, so he knows the lust Japanese women have for bbc. Don't think his Thai gf would like that too much.😂

[@jamesridley8565]

It amazes me how people don't get sarcasm 😂. U got people actually believing click bait title without seeing the video😏!

[@welloilbeefhooked4984]

My last service on my car was £1000, wasn't even a big service, plus had a diagnostic done last week because of check engine light cost £200 for 2 hours it took to plug it in😮

[@davedaniels4967]

James, check that law about capital gains tax. I was told that it doesn't apply anymore. I was told by two people, my old boss who sold his house and also my tax advisor. But I will follow up to be sure.

[@ChocolateManInThailand]

If you lived in the home 2 of the last 5 years you don't have to pay it. Also if you purchase another home. Neither applied to me.

[@Gpsmedia3]

Good one 😎💯

[@dufffredq8]

Prices are going up, but we will manage.

[@ThuyPham-lr5dc]

Take a ride to Hua Hin…beautiful clean long beach❤❤❤

[@jellycoding]

Oh my god.... Taking a cab (Bolt) in Pattaya is almost half the price than taking the bus in Sweden... LOL

[@007Jay100]

Go to the Philippines..you said you missed your boys.. DO IT BROTHER

[@yomama3420]

I'd like to see you make videos in Japan! Exchange rate is great right now too

[@dufffredq8]

Black is a nice thining color on video. Looking good.

[@jimmyc.7415]

nice color pictures.... 😂 I recommend a trip to Angeles City in the Philippines...... would love that.

[@mr.ftravels3295]

Hey check out Mike’s Mexican Restaurant near Jomtien. I thought it was good Mexican food for Thailand.

[@billb2094]

Maybe you need to return to the van life... every day is different... 😎

[@vktravellog1242]

Love bolt and grab but you have taxi drivers on grab and I had one guy driving like a maniac! I use a credit card which is the easiest

[@jameswilson1522]

Excellent content creator. Excellent communicator

[@chrisfromnoosa1905]

Well big guy, if it's so boring why are you there in the first place? Having said that, I'm a little mystified as to why it took so long to realise this. Don't get me wrong, I love Thailand and the national psyche of it's people but I think it's just a matter of time before most people would become bored.in Pattaya. Also, love your channel.

[@markJones38133]

Make sure they ain’t putting the Walmart oil in your car, I know a lot of people that let Walmart do their oil for a couple yrs and the engine lock up.

[@Stfoot]

Will have to try Taco Tuesday. I remember the Carne asada burrito’s off the food truck at San Diego naval base. Those were the best.

[@sswmastering]

You can just link your debit card to Bolt if you want & I still call it Central Festival & it will always be Central Festival, foots down on that!!!

[@eio1971]

Oh Storm trooper took a hit .Food looked great.

[@michaelorfanos7416]

James, no one funnier than you man. You have to be the voice over on the rockstar youtube shorts with the puppies and dogs bro. If you're not then you need to start one now!

[@Aggie4life77]

Maybe it’s time for you to turn this into a bit of a travel channel. Move around a bit!

[@targetmann100ify]

If your bored you could open a hot chocolate bar 🤣😅🤣

[@irabankston3390]

What did Q say😅 Something weighing down the back of his scooter 😅😅

[@LifeNkuwait123]

200Baht for the tire service makes me 😃..The US could never!

[@DoogieFresh]

"8-hero" 🤣😂🤣

[@mancamerashakuhachiscooter8941]

I use Grab in Chiang Mai, my credit card is tied to it for payment, easy!

[@nyciron]

Oil change at 1980s prices have to love Thailand

[@billymac8127]

"New" taco place. Haven't been to sunset in 6 months it's really good

[@genjimonogatari6156]

My thought was $5 😂

[@darrenstango9376]

I HEAR.... they are filming jurassic world 4 at the moment in/around Arabic.....scarlett Johnson has been spotted filming

[@CaptainKremmen]

Grab's improving. Last time in Pattaya, Grab was cheaper for one of my trips than Bolt. Grab and Bolt both take credit cards. Vastly better than having to mess about with cash. (And those Thai-only QR codes are just pointless junk for most of us.) All the better if you have a credit card that gives bonus points for transport services. (Though that doesn't work for Bolt, because Bolt doesn't code its industry correctly.)

[@ChocolateManInThailand]

I use Thai QR codes almost everyday. You sure you've been to Thailand 🤔🤣

[@CaptainKremmen]

@@ChocolateManInThailand Nobody can use one unless you have a Thai bank account, so totally useless. And even if I could, why would I give up hotel and airline points from my credit cards?

[@ChocolateManInThailand]

@CaptainKremmen getting a Thai Bank is not difficult. If you live or even visit with any frequency, it's absolutely a game changer. Do you.

[@CaptainKremmen]

@@ChocolateManInThailand From what I've heard, the bureaucracy of Thai banks is insane, the difficulty for foreigners opening accounts varies from branch to branch, the interest rates are crap and the credit cards are lousy. Far less hassle and far better value to just use US credit cards wherever possible, such as on Bolt, Grab, MRT, bus to Pattaya, etc, and use cash for the rest.

[@ChocolateManInThailand]

Gee I wonder if there's someone who lives in Thailand and has made videos about how easy it is...nah probably not. Keep going with what you "heard."

[@natestrothers8580]

Hey James, tell Q Nate says ...what's up?

[@TheMikeyStory]

it really sucks being people who live in pattaya with so much to see , to do , the cost and lifestyle ... LOL

[@darkbrother8516]

I sorry to hear that you had to sell your house back in America, because you need the cash. There is no shame in that. We all need to re-allocates our portfolio once in a while. I hope where ever you put that money into next will be a profitable investment for you James. BTW, what ever you have been doing in Thailand, keep doing it, because I can see some of the weight you gained in America melting off little by little.

[@ChocolateManInThailand]

Lol, dark brother always assuming the worst. At no point did I say, "I had to sell my house." 😉

[@darkbrother8516]

@@ChocolateManInThailand Well good for you. Glad to know that you are just re-allocating your investments around. Goodluck with what ever you planned to invest that house equity into.

[@Traveler-PKK]

How much was your Mexican meal ?

[@kanenstuff]

Do a road trip in Australia or grab a Toyota camper can and travel around Asia. Then you can go from Indonesia to Vietnam and everywhere in between. Drive to Port Dickson in Malaysia then get a ferry to Samatra and go from there to Bali.

[@ChocolateManInThailand]

Interesting. 😉

[@dufffredq8]

Pattaya is boring...NOT. I owe big money...NOT. I have to leave Pattaya ...Up to you. Those are my quick comments.

[@kevbocometh]

Hey man, if you have to pay capital gains on your house that means that you made more than $250,000 in profit so... Things could be worse 🤣🙌🙌. Also I'm assuming that its long-term capital gain so it's at a lower rate. Also 30-year treasury bonds are paying 4.4% right now so... You good buddy. If you bought the same bonds 4 years ago 1.25 percent 🤷

[@genjimonogatari6156]
