I DAMAGED A RENTAL CAR IN THAILAND (AVOID SCAMS & SAVE MONEY )

[@SecondChanceHiker]

I want to make a correction. I meant to say Costa Rica not Puerto Rico(which is part of the USA) for the $1 rentals. I have been to both places and both beautiful.

[@kikimacdonald2759]

Haha good to know because im heading to Costa Rica (not Puerto Rico 😂) next Saturday AND renting a car. Hopefully no runaway fence posts in our path. 🤣

[@kreynolds6424]

Perfect music for this moment in your life... Honey it is so cool to see & hear how excited you are. There is a definite change in YOU! So happy for you, please take care of our friend Cory he is a good guy/man!!😜

[@cathytarr1560]

Oh my goodness! I took a rental car back damaged in Ireland. I was freaking out! The back panel was dented in pretty good. The guy at the counter went out to look at it, came back in, and said, don't worry about it! I couldn't believe it! Whew! Good advice, Cory, thanks!

[@sallycooper7677]

I loved Thailand so much! The food was so light and delicious! And it's the first time I ever saw a pineapple farm and realized they grow in the ground lol!

[@Lyn4817]

Great advice Cory. Would never have thought of getting it repaired.

[@stangoodvibes]

Also worth noting - if you hit someone else, either a car or a scooter, they will check their entire car or scooter for ANY defect and attempt to get you to pay for it. On the spot. I *lightly* touched a scooter with the GFs car (no damage to car or scooter) and the female rider spent about 5 minutes going over her scooter trying to find anything she could use to extort money from me. She failed. Luckily. If you hit a Thai persons vehicle you are automatically in the wrong as a Farang. Especially scooters.

[@leigh4326]

Oh David thanks for this comment! It almost happened to us yesterday when I opened the door and lightly touched this girls Mercedes’ and she looked and looked until she saw a small white mark. Yet our car had nothing.

[@harpyfridge]

Just let them call the cops then. No need to let them shake you down. The cops can't beat any money out of your or arrest you, no matter what you may have heard.

[@axlent123]

Wherever you go… There is an adventure to be hard! And as long as you keep building your adventures, will keep watching!

[@wenc990]

Great watching your KZbin rented a car first time got a deep scratch while parked. Seems that a motorbike scratched the side of door in Thailand

[@rabbischlomoify]

Love the back to back videos. Excited for future videos!

[@claudiasutherland3544]

Can you do a quick tour of your island home? It looks so beautiful.

[@terrahmama]

Hi Corey! Happy New Year to you! I am so sorry for your loss...that must have been extremely difficult for you as an empath. Your baby is your angel. Heartfelt sorrow for Little Angels Mama. With all the difficulties...You found your light. Congrats and look forward to your adventures in 2022 with your fiance. Keep on smiling!

[@thizizliz]

Yeah, my son had one of those yellow cement posts at a gas station jump out and hit the door on my new car. Oh well. So glad you weren't injured. The plan you used sounds smart; especially when you have someone with you to translate!

[@Cruzinsusan5101]

That makes sooooo much sense! Thanks for the info! Who knew? Plus - cute joke! That stupid fence post!

[@Emoji-ATTrailangel]

It’s always fun watching you as you live and learn, experience and share, Cory. Anuma is a wizzzz on a motor bike❣️It must be a blast riding around with her 😃 God bless you both❣️Enjoy❣️👍👍😎🥰

[@klabkebash]

Was recently in Puerto Rico and rented a car from the airport and took the insurance. They told me the insurance does not cover damaged or stolen tires / wheels. So I said, but if the car itself is stolen, it's covered. The girl at the counter said yes, but if the wheels or tries get damaged when you return them, you are responsible for the cost of repair or replacement. This was a major rental place that's everywhere in the US too. I guess due to the condition of the country roads, you can easily hit a pothole or ditch or, they just steal rims. Insane.

[@kayakinggrandmakelly7105]

I was driving on the blue ridge parkway once and came up on a car stopped on the side of the road. I got out to help and 3 British people got out and (imagine the accent) said they had a “double puncture “ …I was like what?? Then they explained, not used to driving on the right side, they ran off the road a little and got 2 FLATS on the right side. Bad thing was….the rental company couldn’t understand their accent, so I called for them and explained situation. Glad to help out.

[@garypeterson3628]

Damn Cory, you're looking great, so healthy. I think you may have found your "happy place" , your niche in life. Good luck. Yup, those darn fence posts, keep jumping out onto the road.

[@kattyswanson872]

Rental cars can be an unexpected unwelcome cost when traveling. We’re glad it all went well for you! I think it’s so cool you guys travel around on a vespa 😎 Happy Exploring and cyberhugs to the both of you 🤗

[@kris90869]

Did you think about vlogging your adventures in Thailand? I would love to see around Thailand and how it all looks. I’m sure others would as well. Just a throught :)

[@Thecolonel795]

If Anuma is going to keep running around on a scooter I would like to see you buy her a pair of genuine Crocs rather than the generic shower shoes. Keep enjoying and finding joy in everything, even smiling and laughing after a car accident.

[@cmr12121]

I love the music at the end! So perfect.

[@claramullen]

Glad it worked out Cory. Watch out for those fence post.

[@danielandhisswiftiebuddyev1073]

The comments are shut off on you last vlog about you questioning if you want to quit youtube. Do what is right for you. If you choose to stop vlogging, please just leave the videos up. They are inspiring and I feel they will continue to inspire people. Stay happy and healthy. With great love, Dan

[@treebeardtheent2200]

Is it ok to ask if anyone knows that my bro 2C is doing ok? I haven't seen a post from him in a long time.

[@Wintersnow147]

I’m glad everything worked out for you. Be safe.

[@tereinhongkong]

Wow.. Amazing .. always watching your vedio here in hongkong

[@greensleeveskwok8172]

Glad to know that I am not the only one!

[@wideopenthrottl]

How's the food?

[@Jay_A52]

You handled this really well. I would have freaked out.

[@trudyeagan4336]

You’re looking great

[@monamorgan8614]

Love the music Cory😁👍🏻

[@Kiev-in-3-days]

I have been living 25 years in Asia. Been in his shoes then used to tried to warn newcomers for many years until I understood it was totally useless. Yes he's 100% clueless about what he's doing, he really is, but just let him do whatever he wants and hope for the best! He might just get lucky. Even if this goes wrong, the coming dramas will make great videos so unless he "accidentally" falls from the 27th floor of a Thai condo, whatever happens is okay to me!

[@gregorywilson2124]

Don’t they have insurance?

[@johngrossbohlin7582]

Roger McGuinn’s “Easy Rider” would have gone with video. 👍

[@adventurealley4151]

We got a new tire for a rental car. It was damaged but not flat. It was almost 400$ but they would have changed me more.

[@stangoodvibes]

I backed my GFs car into a stupid post that was randomly stuck in a car parking area and was about 4ft high (so you can't see it out the rear window) because... TIT...and sticking a post in a car parking area is the kind of cr@p that people do here. Dented the rear plastic bumper and the boot lid quite badly. She has a mate who owns a repair shop. 7500 baht to make like new, which is cheap, but still annoying 😤

[@mpspuij]

Did you see that white pickup overtake you on your scooter with oncoming traffic. They drive like total idiots in Thailand. If one of them drives into your rental car you are screwed not knowing the language and police are on the hand of the locals. They take you to the cleaners. You are accused of causing the accident. I would never rent a car in Thailand, I use buses, trains and taxi's. I also stay clear of anything on 2 or 3 wheels. Check all the Thai that have injuries on their body from traffic accidents. If you fall in love you become a bit blind to certain things. The choices you make have consequences. Some learn it the hard way and others are ahead in the game. Those life lessons make who you are. Keep your eyes open and be safe, the grass is not always greener on the other side. Been there done that.

[@adventurebythemile]

Watch out for all the poisonous snakes like the kraits, king cobras, sea snakes, sea kraits, and coral snakes. Those things could kill you! I am very intrigued by Thailand.

[@SecondChanceHiker]

Omg I asked if I can go camping in the forest and everyone is like noooooo. I will die.

[@1moremile845]

I feel like I missed something. I know I saw an “I got engaged” video but now I can’t find it? 😊❤️

[@SecondChanceHiker]

After video was up the last comments were just toxic and racist so privatized the video. I am loving my life until I touch my phone and look at social media, and I am told how I am doing life wrong and people wildly assuming wrong about my life. Toxic. Insanity to me. KZbin should be fun so now the question is for my own happiness do I end this channel?

[@1moremile845]

I’m so sorry that happened. I was looking forward to hearing your story. Congratulations 🍾 to you and your future bride. I’ve enjoyed watching your transformation to happiness 😊

[@LK-3000]

@@SecondChanceHiker I know I mentioned this before, but maybe you should see if any of your trusted followers would consider being a moderator for you. Someone might even volunteer to do if for free. That way you won't even see those toxic comments. It's a way to post what you want, when you want and just enjoy your life and vlogging without the stress of the toxicity. Just a thought. Keep being you, Cory. You're awesome!!

[@Reddylion]

Nice

[@BrandonJHunt]

My wife does all the driving in Thailand 😂
