[@jimmyb101]

The Tasmania cross over comes out of no where, Hat off to you Angus

[@angusthornett]

Thank you, Jimmy

[@MrWilliam.Stewart]

The Grand Angus even works while he's on holidays!

[@angusthornett]

It never ends.

[@largestirling]

@@angusthornett Good job- the flights and accomodation are likely a work related tax deduction!

[@Lu._Lu]

As a Thai-Tasmanian, I'm stoked for this crossover! Love the videos Angus, keep it up

[@angusthornett]

Thanks, Lulu

[@Arcticnick]

100%

[@shazzabelle123]

Another captivating instalment ! Was waiting for the pup to appear !

[@angusthornett]

Ha

[@ManiBatchelor]

Was wondering if any content would come out of your cheeky getaway. What a bloody treat!!

[@angusthornett]

And there you go. Ha

[@rubyray9133]

Very interesting! Loved learning the lil titbit about the monks robes!! And ha ha yeah glad to see a snippet of Dog at the end, didn't feel right without him 🤣🤣

[@angusthornett]

Dog had a holiday himself.

[@rubyray9133]

@@angusthornett oooh good for him where did he go? Scouting for the next production!!?

[@phillipebrall9930]

Amazing, and I love that this report is ‘real time’. Your stunning opening flyover shot answered a question that has been. bugging me, namely would the land I was contemplating buying, flood? Bugger me, did it ever! Thanks for this ❤

[@lucysmith7658]

An interesting new location! Really interesting, and having the Tasmanian connection was a cool through line 😁

[@willmitchell2508]

Another interesting feature from you Angus! Watching this I found myself wondering what was missing only to realise that it was the dog! 😂

[@angusthornett]

Yep. Ha

[@leandabee]

This has been great. I see the tan and white doggy stood in for Dog on this one 🤗. Loved the boxing knock out edit 😅👏. Fascinating about the half finished resort 😳. Omg, the story of the tin mine guy, not sure what to think 🤔, but incredible how something awful can be turned into something of beauty. I have really enjoyed this and some Phukets history some of it beautiful and some of it tragedy. Hope there is another one 👌👏👏. Now I have to edit, because of Dog being centre of 'mgm' thing at the end, so cute 😍

[@angusthornett]

Dog was there in spirit. Ha

[@ErgonBill]

After a 6 month unintended hiatus from the channel, I'm astounded by the leaps and bounds of your productions Angus. Keep up the great work!

[@si2030]

Excellent Angus.. Seems your style can work internationally.. Whilst I am in Kettering this shows you can shine anywhere.. Loved it.

[@angusthornett]

Thanks, mate. I need to expand that channel.

[@berlinocelot]

Another wonderful video, Angus.

[@angusthornett]

Thank you.

[@638Benj]

Great video I love the 7 11 welcome intro lol..That's crazy I walk over the bridge a few times a week thank you for the historic event edition ❤

[@james7149]

It came as a surprise to see your interesting way of interpreting history this time on a very different island. This look at Phuket with its unexpected connection to Tasmania as always with your work was excellent! Wish I could be at Richmond and hope it’s a great event for you.👏

[@angusthornett]

Thank you. You’ll have to catch me next time.

[@matthewwillcox7184]

Very enjoyable and informative. Refreshing to see an Australian abroad caring to know the history and culture as well as being an ambassador for our shorts.

[@angusthornett]

Thanks, mate. We are who we are.

[@RoyEssuell]

This was fantastic! Currently in Phuket and this has definitely given me a different appreciation for the place

[@angusthornett]

Thanks, mate. Glad you took something from it. There are interesting things everywhere if we look closer.

[@TobiasKonrath]

Awesome video! I’ve been living here for a few years now and its great to learn abit more about the island

[@angusthornett]

Thanks, mate. Glad you got something out of it.

[@davidwilliams7552]

Being under 10 degrees from the equator, ss Phuket is at around 7.8 degrees north, this is an equatorial climate a sub type of tropicsl climate. Always hot. Small temperature range and high rainfall. Great video, thanks.

[@STB-1]

Great stuff, thank you 😊

[@angusthornett]

Thank you

[@grandadfromwarwick7083]

What a fantastic job. Great video mate👍

[@phrayzar]

I cross that bridge every day. Gonna be a bit different after this video. Great work mate.

[@angusthornett]

Thanks, mate.

[@davidhunter9282]

Branching out brother outa tha fridge and into the oven you've gone,, a well deserved rest and ya still working you must be a Capricorn ♑ Another great informative video. Yes thoes east/India companies have done alot of war/crimes dutch&brittish. It a shame about the little Blue boat of Hobart harbour she came adrift from her moorings and washed up against the rocky shoreline in the last few days with the relentless bad weather tassie is coping. Enjoy your well earned holiday come home safely get your dog and enjoy making more informative videos. Thanks Brother and ill see in the next one. Love and Light to all of you 💙

[@angusthornett]

Thanks, mate. All things must pass.

[@DriftLibrary]

Nice to see an appearance from pup

[@bigears4014]

I've never thought anything about Thailand, the history seems alright, but the place is all about happy ending !

[@SteveK666]

[@angusthornett]

It’s the first video I’ve made outside of Tasmania. Trying the expand the channel’s audience.

[@Arcticnick]

@@angusthornett You clearly have lots of production practice. And lots of skill too.

[@therighttoremain]

That was great.

[@angusthornett]

Cheers

[@cameronmeindl7382]

As a Tasmanian living in phuket now this is fascinating.,

[@angusthornett]

We’re everywhere, mate.

[@quantumbyte-studios]

"Hello Welcome" sound clip from 7/11 .. 100% Thai

[@jimmcfee3488]

Most of the WW2 relics through out the Pacific were recovered shortly after the war by scrap ,merchants ironically using surplus Navy barges and cranes. Much salvage was still usable and shipped to Australia for use on farms etc.

[@angusthornett]

True. The relics off Phuket are in the Andaman Sea. You’d have to imagine that some of them were probably salvaged by someone.

[@crookedmouthdj]

Cool video 👍

[@angusthornett]

Thanks, mate.

[@peterbateman8018]

Angus on a busman’s holiday……bloody brilliant!

[@angusthornett]

Thanks, mate

[@markinthemoment]

Where’s Dog ??

[@angusthornett]

By the pool

[@SeaAnda]

What are your sources for the history info? Thanks

[@TurtleBeachThailand]

Huh. Interesting. Kind of like Bangkok Pat if he wore shorts and had an even more deadpan delivery. How much of this came from Colin Mackay's book?

[@johnbladesmusic]

👍

[@dsf427]

What... the dog was left at home. Enjoy thailand land of fake smiles and wallet's emptied 😊

[@angusthornett]

Cheers, pal

[@grandadfromwarwick7083]

I forgot to ask, who looked after dog??😁

[@angusthornett]

Itself.

[@alfmerck6262]

Excellent tax write-off idea....

[@PhuketGuru]

So cool to see the people, who interesting of history and culture.... I live here 15 years and working in tourism, since from the first year i find a many questions, but so less answers.

So sad, that im absolutely no have time for content creation😢😢😢 Are you live here? If you're interesting, i have much much more to say, but looking for someone to help me with my idea realization

[@angusthornett]
