[@NativeFarang]

Ahh thank you so much! Well done to you too, amazing achievement 🙏

[@mariettathornton5924]

So happy to hear that you’ve quit smoking Natt! It’s the greatest thing you could do for yourself! Congratulations & well done! 🎉

[@NativeFarang]

Ahh thank you so much Marietta 😁🙏

[@chrissyramsden7507]

Hey Nate, huge congratulations. I stopped on the 26th Sept so am also in the early days. I watched a video posted by sweetlifelanta where Mon had quit smoking. His words really impacted me and I decided to give quitting a go. I’m missing the enjoyment when relaxing, sitting thinking, processing things etc. it’s gets tough at times but I find I just needed to change my routine and that has helped a lot. I don’t really get cravings for nicotine which is super. I love that my hair and clothes don’t smell of smoke and most of all, my non smoking hubby is super chuffed that I smell nice 😂 Onwards and upwards 🤘

[@NativeFarang]

Ahh thank you so much! Ooh I'll have to check out their video, thanks! Yeah I feel you, I'm the same! Well done to you though, sounds like you're doing great! 😃🙏

[@lutach]

Pretty sure you can sign her up to a bike race with all that energy and soon the youngest will join in the super energy club lol. Thank you for another great video and as always hugs to the family.

[@NativeFarang]

Hahaha honestly she doesn't stop! 😅

[@bornfreeprepperthailand]

Reminds me of so much when my kids were young and living in Thailand. However these were the best time because they listened to you. 😂😂😂 Enjoy your happiness with your family mate ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

@@supatracross5172 Hello Supatra! 👋🥰 Thank you so much 🙏

[@jinwolfe2364]

Good for you. 25 years ago I quit smoking. Life is 100% better witbout it. Expensive path to cancer.

[@NativeFarang]

Thank you, appreciate it 🙏

[@RAD.Travel.613]

59, Quit Dec 14, Day 7. Live in Sukothai with wife, daughter, family. Quit Oct 2023, started again July 2024. Just quit again Dec 14. Had a 20 hour flight, layover so perfect time to quit. Love hate relationship w/cigs. In reality - only hate, but addiction is cunning. Love your cost of living videos. I have 80 Rai, all rice, fruits, veggies, chickens, basically live off the land. Great life, simple, quiet, country life ❤️

[@LucKerklaan]

I quit smoking 2 years ago cold turkey. Never smoked again. I smoked for 44 years.

[@NativeFarang]

That's amazing! 💪💪

[@marglewis7652]

My husband is a chronic snorer, we've tried every "remedy" in the book but none suggested what has led us both to a good nights sleep..... he now sleeps in the spare room with the door closed 😍🥰good on you for giving up smoking too

[@NativeFarang]

That's brilliant! Maybe I need to suggest that to Camila, quite like the idea of a room to myself 🤣🤣 kidding. Thank you, appreciate it 🙏

Good on ya mate! Give up on the durries - have had a few mates with serious health issues because of the addiction and a couple of friends died because of the medical implications of cigarettes. So funny seeing a Thai with a pommie accent! 😂 You enjoy the place Guv!

[@NativeFarang]

Thanks Tony 🙏

[@nokchilton1562]

Well done Natt! 👍

[@NativeFarang]

Thank you Nok 😁🙏🙏

[@MaryAustin-cx7dm]

I quit smoking in 2012.... Cold turkey. I smoked a pack and a half.

[@NativeFarang]

Amazing, well done! 🙏

[@christiandengler6689]

Good for you mate! "Cold turkey" is the only way to quit cigarettes! I quit with Allen Carr "Easy way to quit smoking" about 4 years ago. Only problem is now that smoking broccoli is so much more expensive as I smoke pure broccoli!

[@NativeFarang]

Ohh Geez! Yeah the broccoli will make a dent in the pockets

[@christiandengler6689]

@@NativeFarang fortunately enough, just like Thailand, it was just legalised in Germany, so can grow your own 😜

[@NativeFarang]

Haha electric bill will triple this winter then 😜

[@christiandengler6689]

@@NativeFarang good thing I didn't do anything illegal and started growing last year to be now sitting on a 1k Electricity bill from last year....oh wait...

Cigarettes 🚬 it’s addictive . Glad you gave it up. Hope you stay off it 🙏

🙏🙏🙏

[@DaisyD163]

Good for you Nat for giving up smoking. I would just ignore these people who pick at you on every aspect you comment on. We call them know all know nothings. On a different note, just a suggestion but it would be good for you to put together a calendar for 2025 of you're photography as its something you enjoy and are good at, collect photos throught the year,make up a calendar and add it to the website. Just something to think about. I Enjoy the channel and as we say.KEEP CALM😂

[@supatracross5172]

#DaisyD163 Well said. ❤

[@DaisyD163]

@supatracross5172 🥰

[@NativeFarang]

Thank you so much! A calendar is definitely a good idea and is on the list, I just need to take some more photos and sort through them all 😁🙏

[@supatracross5172]

@NativeFarang I have a question for you. 😁 My husband was going to order one wallet for me for Christmas 🎄 we went to the BaanThai website. Is the shipping included in the wallet? The wallet lists for $169.

[@NativeFarang]

@@supatracross5172 Shipping should be added on at checkout, but if you use the code 'XMAS' there's a 10% discount code for your order 😊 But if you email us at [e-mail] the wallet you wish to order we may be able to offer a further discount for you as you are a loyal subscriber 😊🙏

[@Bangzy27]

8:07 5k under 20 minutes?

[@NativeFarang]

I reckon I'll be able to soon! 💪

[@TravelAddictTez]

I'm enjoying your 📹 videos. By the way. I'm just curious 🤔. Do you speak Thai to your girls?

[@supatracross5172]

Here we go again, a popular Q 😅

[@SmallManBigWorldGlobal]

@@TravelAddictTez He said one hour a day.

[@NativeFarang]

@@TravelAddictTez Maybe we need to address this in a video, we're getting asked almost everyday 😅 Camila and I communicate in English. I dedicate at least an hour a day to sit with the kids and go through some Thai books, apps etc to teach them and they watch a mixture of English and Thai youtube videos. I speak in Thai when communicating with locals and encourage the kids to use Thai phrases that they already know. But, I'm not putting pressure on it, they will learn and integrate when they go to school. I'd rather they were fluent in English before they become fluent in Thai 🙏

[@TravelAddictTez]

@@NativeFarang Just curious. No disrespect intended. Thanks for responding.

[@Dana-ie2bh]

How much does a large Billboard on the highway leading into Surin cost Natt?

[@NativeFarang]

I can't say I've looked into it, but I would imagine if you own the billboard company, probably a lot cheaper than if you're paying someone to make it. It's all relative, that's quite a vague question. The cost will differ depending on size, location, type of billboard ect...

[@Dana-ie2bh]

@@NativeFarang Does the poor Thai farmer get paid if someone puts up a billboard on his/her land? Does the Thai government subsidize poor Thai farmers? Is there a minimum wage for poor Thai farmers? Is any swinging butt working as a field hand a "Thai farmer"? Where do they thresh the rice? Where do they mill and wash and package the rice? Is rice for export a higher grade or a lower grade than most of what is sold locally? What pesticides do Thai farmers use on their rice? What percentage of rice strains are now GMO's?

[@NativeFarang]

Are these rhetorical questions? I believe someone as educated as yourself would already know the answer to these. If not, I suggest maybe asking these questions to the head of agriculture here in Thailand rather than asking a small dumb KZbinr like myself. Even I know that this isn't a reliable source for information on such topics.

[@Dana-ie2bh]

@@NativeFarang I get tired of people who think like Marxists or Catholics, same difference. Oh, the poor farmers, oh the greedy rich!

[@NativeFarang]

At the end of the day, we're all humans. We're just a greedy species, always wanting more. A millionaire will always aspire to be a billionaire... contentment isn't so easy for us. That's why we're at the top of the food chain on this small planet we call Earth.
