Wow, the electricity will definitely be down for a while. Hope you can get up and running soon.

[@michaelmensch6990]

Omg, Gift is so funny. I lost when she said she will kick your ass. I remember the early videos when she didn’t even speak any English. A very special lady. Thank you both for sharing with us subscribers.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Our pleasure! 😂😆

[@GatorJake]

Glad to see nobody was hurt and no private property damage. That's an impressive response by your power company. Fast.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

I agree ☝️

[@loveit2942]

Fair play the fire department didn't panic and the power company sorted it swiftly, more amazing food my mouth water just seeing gift preparing and cooking I bet it tastes amazing😋

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

The food was delicious 😋

[@williamperkins1542]

Joe, I bought a Dewalt 20-volt battery operated fan to help me sleep or survive if the power goes out. It works well and is adjustable. I too find it amazing just how fast the power companies work around here. It seems no matter the time of day or night they are on the job fast. Bravo.

[@ZYLONZA]

Hello Joe and Gift. ROT ROW, now Gift is a spoken-for Lady she shows her SASSY side, Joe watch out for low-flying frypans 5555 😂😂😂😂 I also know Gift is a good actor 😁😁😁 . WOW I sure am glad that fire didn't get any worse, and thankful no one got injured, including a certain Joe 😄 Glad everything worked out for the good. Great video 10 / 10 Keep Safe (Joe) Stay Well my friends.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

🙏😂😊

[@AjayRohaz]

Great Lunch and great price and friendly people ! :) That pole fire brings back memories, I worked at Monsanto HQ in St. Louis in the 90's and we saw a transformer glowing bright orange on a pole then explode and popped another one down the line, it was daytime but scary like what you caught on your video. Stay safe ! :)

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏

[@marybuchanan1982]

That was a scary night ..very impressive the electric company had y'all up and running so quickly.. wouldn't have happened that fast here in America..Thai Girl Gift was hilarious... "I gonna kick your ass" LOL She's learning LOL Glad your home was safe from the fire...as usual, look forward to your next video...be safe and take care.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏😊😂

[@jeffreystecher6565]

Hi Joe and Gift, just wanted to say congrats on your engagement!!! Well looks like you had some early fireworks for the 4th😂! Loved it when Gift said she would kick your butt for calling her lazy! So great to see how much she has grown into your relationship bro! U r a very lucky person! Anyway all the best to you both. Amada buddha bless. Hope to be moving to Phuket by November this year.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏. November will be here before you know it. Safe travels!

[@justinmcintosh6554]

Whoa! That was a decent fire!

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Luckily they got it under control quickly.

[@BiffBurns]

Crazy Joe! 😊

Hey Thai Girl Gift and Foreigner Joe, I bet solar panels and a battery bank are looking good now. Lol ❤

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

😊

[@stevekitt52]

I've seen one of those pole mounted transformers get hit by a lightning strike.Made one hell of a bang! The Thai Electric company got it replaced in a couple of hours.

[@rachelmarie7705]

Glad you had your electric turned back on quickly! Love your channel!

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏 so much!

[@stewartgrant7724]

HI Joe and Gift Well hope nobody was hurt in that fire and that there was to much damage. Well i could not stop laughing Joe you were planning for all of you to go out to lunch until Gift showed you that she had started preparing food and then you said how long then she said about 1 hour Good old Gift said you will have to wait well looking at what she had cooked was definately waiting for 10/10. So in a few days you will be reunited with your son David what a great family reunion all together again. Well celebrate with Iced chocolate for Gift and a beer for you and your son David.Enjoy

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Hi Stewart, Thank you 🙏 so much again for all of the ice chocolates, coffees and beers, greatly appreciated. Just one reason I love Gift, her sense of humor 😊

[@Walt-ck5qn]

Hello Joe Gift & Mom! Unbelievable prices for such amazing food. Can't they use insulated wiring that is fireproof? Is there homeowners or fire insurance available in Thailand? The firefighters made quick work of the fire! Seemingly good response from them and the electric company to minimize the damage. First time seeing an incident like this from any vlogger's channels. WOW! Amazing containment and turnaround with the down time! Fortunately, minor damage only! Best wishes, good fortune, health and happiness to everyone. Stay safe

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏. There is homeowners fire insurance available in Thailand. I believe some of those wires were somewhat fire resistant.

[@paulcousins1371]

Shame about the fire, glad no one hurt,good to see you cycling with helmets😂

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏

[@HelloRichard]

I like your kitchen stone countertops. Is it Volga Blue (Labradorite)?

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏. Granite (black blue pearl) if I’m not mistaken.

[@my-smalltowns]

Thank God nobody hurt, hydro was there faster then firetruck. 😅 Wow, gift kick your ass, don't talk like that. Just for that you wait one hour for your food. 😊 Wait till you're married...😂😂😂😂 You two compliment each other so good. ❤ 😊

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

😂😆😊

[@AmericanInThailand]

Go out when you have that wonderful kitchen? Come on man!🤣🤣🤣

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

[@brianbarbarich1401]

Thank you Joe and Gift. Cheers from South Africa 👏🙏

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

[@benlee6500]

The fire 🔥 on that particular pole , can spread widely in hot weather...luckily the firemen put it off quickly 👌 life remains good, stay calm and call the professional to handle it nicely...stay safe🎉😂

[@s.c.6367]

I'm glad they fixed it quickly. Im Still not used to seeing all the wires.

[@lilo7019]

Thank you very much for sharing take care bless you2

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

🙏

[@marcp108]

Glad that it all worked out ok. The firemen weren't really in any hurry. Like you, I need air conditioning only at night. During the day I'm fine. Great to see you both back on your bikes. But look after 'Mum'!

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏

[@chrischallacombe3477]

Glad you guys came through the fire unscathed!! The food looked good as usual. Cheers from Canada!!

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏

[@BiffBurns]

Looks crazy! 😊

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

It was 😊

[@unclecraigbaannawk]

Yikes…imagine that happening downtown middle Bangkok….luckily no one was hurt….and yeah the morning brings good tidings…

[@carleto9597]

That fire was right down your street, good no house caught fire. Joe, did they pull out that boat that was sinking there in earlier video. Well hope they put fire out soon, so take care.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

I’m not sure about the boat because the tide is in. I’m almost certain that they did.

[@roberthaas2857]

The same thing happened in front of my villa at 1am. Not as bad as your vidio. My electric meter caught fire due to an animal. PEA was already at my house by the time I saw the fire. I text my electrician at 3am and he came at 6 to replace the wires to my house. By 8am, PEA had a new meter installed with electricity restored.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Happy to hear it all worked out for you.

[@RickGodwin-d6v]

Dang Joe. Those wires must get red hot or the transformer? We couldn’t get 2 hr service here on a good day! Glad all is well + Gift’s cooking looks amazing. Love you guys. Rick

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏. It appeared as though those wires are somewhat fire and heat resistant.

[@ade7163]

Those transformers on poles are always popping. I remember Buzz in Pattaya was doing a walkaround and one exploded right behind him up the road.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

I think that it may have something to do with the moisture in the air but I’m not certain.

[@cherylh6920]

Glad you're all OK. Just watched a video today from "notime2bsad" Chuck was talking about the wiring in Thailand. I live in South Florida - We go through no electricity from time to time - hurricanes and just power outages.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏

[@DavidSmith-to9ni]

Joe go and get 2 small battery ACs we have and they are great in emergency when you have no electricity

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏 for the suggestion. We will definitely check it out.

[@Jim-Jamjouney]

Wow stay safe definitely going to be awhile

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏 the electricity was back up and running within 2 hours of the fire being put out.

[@Towball]

Joe did Gift say she can kick your ass😂 . I still remember the vlog about the crocodile🤣🤣

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

She did say that lol 😂.

[@teefossum9923]

Wow that is scary lucky it nor windy

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Very lucky indeed.

[@RomanVarl]

The fire guys took their time ))

[@gregh7457]

they were waiting for the fire to clean off the rats nest of communication lines

[@junebarnick3089]

Thank goodness 🙏 they got the electric fire out ❤

[@simonyee5524]

Show us some of the post fire footage. It's amazing power came back on so fast. They probably used duck tape and taped the wires back together 🤣🤣🤣

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Will do! They did an amazing job, I will show some footage in our next video.

[@Maxtycrosby]

Where did you buy your tall pestle? I looked at your weekend market and did not see any. Ty!

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Makro here in town.

[@Maxtycrosby]

@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 thanks for letting us know

[@PS-gm7vg]

Cool apron lazy butt!!! lol....How about som off season rental oppurtunities in the area Joe!!! We are in Buriram and i am hoping to find something for vacationing long term to get out of the village here once in awhile........If you have time....Which you dont......

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

There are rentals available but I would suggest that you just come visit, stay in a hotel for a few days while you look around for a place that suits your needs. Hotel prices range from 500 baht a night and up for decent rooms. While here, just ask around and I’m sure you will find a decent place. Hope this helps.

[@budmartin3344]

Wow! that is bad electrical fire, when you see something like that you should turn off you main power to the house so you will not have power surge that will kill a lot of your electronics, then wait until the problem is fixed then turn on the appliances and the electronics back on one at time, not all at once. BTW, the fire truck was so close to the power lines that may fall down anytime on to the fire truck.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Great suggestion 👍

[@smartbiz888]

Hmmm...Fire extinguisher ain't gonna do it for that fire... Be safe... 🙏🙏🙏 👍😳👍

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏. Unfortunately, with electrical fires 🔥 water should not be used. What they were using was Class C fire extinguishers for electrical fires.

[@geraldrakers4746]

555 Joe you released the Tiger.😂❤

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

LOL 😂

[@frankkie3849]

Here in the Philippines we have the same problem..😊

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

It was crazy, first time we seen that happen.

[@karltraveldude7817]

Thank you for sharing , may I say please stay far far away form electrical fires as they are toxic and can cause cancer ! I say with respect Joe .... Enjoy ...

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Our pleasure! Thank you 🙏 for watching.

[@ronwhite5609]

Thats scarry, I hope you good fire extinguishers and a good first aid kit in your home with such a long response time for emergency services.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Always good to have emergency back up.

[@natesquestyouknowthatsrigh8269]

😮

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

😊

[@davidalf5159]

Should be a requirement in Thailand for new builds to have some PV - solar battery systems, this would give you some backup if ever power supply goes down plus help to supplement existing and do your bit for climate change.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

We are currently looking into the cost of solar. Unfortunately, some Thais barely have enough money to build just a small family home and adding solar to that price would be unaffordable for them.

[@davidalf5159]

@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 Good to hear you’re considering this, look forward to the video! :)

[@robertyates5703]

Was just wondering if Thailand offers whole home generators?

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

They do, something I’m also looking into.

[@er70ca72]

The way it is burning in one place on the pole you have to hope the pole doesn't break in half

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

I believe the poles are made to withstand fire. They are made out of steel and concrete.

[@er70ca72]

@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 sorry I thought they were wood

[@ChrisFoster-m8t]

I hope nobody was injured. I'm really surprised that there are not way more electrical line fires with all the rats nest of wire all over. I personally don't know how they would ever know where to start tracing any problems. It's crazy..

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thankfully no one was injured. Actually they did a real good job and had our electricity back on within 2 hours of the fire being put out.

[@tomaszs9458]

😎🙏👍

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

🙏

[@lillianrosbottom7366]

O.m.g. the electric wires in Thailand very dangerous. Hope no one hurt

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

No one was hurt and both the fire department and electric company did a great job.

[@davework7784]

Gift makes me laugh kick your ass so funny

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

😂

[@rickbold9337]

In the Philippines the power wouldn’t be back on for a month if that fire happened

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

WOW 😮

[@oldmanJ]

It's a shame so many electricity poles have a bird nest of unused unsightly wires,it looks terrible and what's the use because there a bad fire hazard.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

I believe a lot of those wires are from phone, internet and cable networks. Amazingly them seem to figure it out.

[@martinpeacocke8968]

Gift take no shit from you! 55555

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

LOL 😂

[@jefftanasse6958]

Im surprised electrical line fires dont happen all the time in Thailand

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

It’s not as bad as it might seem.

[@FOCUSonASIA13]

May be time for solar

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

We are definitely looking into it.

[@mamabear5488]

No fire extinguishers??

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

They were using Class C fire extinguishers which are appropriate for electrical fires.

[@TheVillageFarang]

I think I’m going to start referring to Joe as the “Pope of PKK”.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

LOL 😂

[@JayDKB]

Time for a generator

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Something I am considering.

[@stephenclark8844]

Electrical poo.poo thialand

[@roblacyclist1170]

Wow!! Joe that was some fire. It's is good to know that the local fire department and power department responded so quickly in a small Thai town like yours and speedily made repairs. The local fire turned out to be interesting and original content for your channel as well. I return to Thailand in October. On your next visit to Chiang Mai I invite both you, and Gift, to come ride bicycles up Doi Suthep with me.🚴🚵.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]
