Glad to find out that there is "Mini Maldives" in Thailand! It was beautiful! "We are all guests to this world" -Ryan. That was very powerful. Wish all people understand that and live like guests and not destroy this earth before they leave.

Mini maldives is beautiful nice as a treat

[@andrewshinegold6988]

Mini Maldives looked great. Looking forward to you staying with the buffalos

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thank you Andrew 🙏🙏

[@mattalford389]

Wow! Your gonna go and live with the buffalo's?? All of you? Or just you? That will be interesting to see 👍👍 And i know what you mean about Thai's being so friendly, and i find them pretty humble, generally. I remember i was up in Chiang Mai and i got a puncture on my motorcycle, this guy just randomly stopped on his motorcycle, whipped the wheel off, got me to jump on the back of his motorcycle and holding the wheel we went and found a tyre repair shop, he took the wheel off me and even helped the guys fix the punctured tyre, then took me back and put the wheel back on!!!! I was amazed. I certainly wouldn't have had that experience back home 😂😂😂

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Sometimes alone and sometimes together 😁🙏 great story there are so many wonderful stories 🙏🙏🙏

[@linacastle4757]

It's really nice look like Palawan and Boracay,hope I can go back there again in thailand

[@billybob7522]

Looks like old Betty Blue is enjoying stretching its legs too! The upbeat music at the beginning with the drone shots was different which I enjoyed. Reminded me of the music from the film Beverly Hills Cop. As the old saying goes "We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children". I thought I was already subscribed but I wasn't so I pressed the button today. Happy travels!

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thank you Billy Bob 🙏😁🇹🇭

Do you have a link to where you brought the Aux lead ? please . Great videos .

[@khunkima1032]

Great place. Yes very true thai ppl are very friendly and can't be compared to other nationalities with their simplicity and way of life. Maybe it's to do with their culture or religion or just the weather and the scenery around who make them always smiles.

Yes 🙏😁🇹🇭

[@martmarten5341]

Thanks again for the new video. It reminded me of a question that I carry along with me for a long time and you talking about the tip for the car washers reminded me. Giving tip in Thailand is easy done for European travelers because of low prices compared to Europe and I found I was going to give a really high tip when traveling in Thailand. But at some point this can mean that the tip is no longer perceived as recognition, but as an expression of the fact that one is conceited and feels like something better. Of course, I don't want to cross this line, as it would make the other person lose face. My question is whether this limit can be quantified. Thanks for your answer.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thanks, and yes each must decide for themselves. Generally tips I give are very well received in good heart, the quality of the interaction and shared respect is more important in my opinion 🙏🙏

Great content Ryan! Been watching for a couple of month now, and always keep looking forward to your next vlog. I have the same issue with depression symptoms, I think its great that you go away on shorter trips like this one, to beautiful and relaxing Koh Chang. Since you like fishing and you are a need of relax sometimes, I got a trip suggestion for you. Surin Islands(Mo Ko Surin National Park), just south of the Myanmar border. I know its far away from Buriram, but totally worth it. And if you are a "Tent guy" you can stay over out there, since there are no hotels or what so ever. Or you just bring Damo and Otis, to enjoy one of the best snorkeling spots in Thailand! Btw, the drone footage is awesome!

Hi Ryan, another epic vlog from ‘The Naked Guru Production Co.’ 🇹🇭‼️. Loved the flying with Eagles drone footage.!!I’m a recent subscriber to your channel and just about caught up with your back catalogue. Koh Chang is my favourite island but the ‘Mini Maldives’ is new to me...a beautiful place for sure. This vlog has a really positive vibe and your interaction with the local Thais is great to see. I’m sure the solo break has done you a power of good and bet you can’t wait to get back to Damo & Otis. Thanks for sharing what to me is the real amazing Thailand and its people. My very best wishes to you and your family. Anthony 🙏🏻🇹🇭🙏🏻

Hi Ryan , another great video , What a beautiful location , pity not much sand though , plus the 5000 baht a night is out of my budget 😁 , but like you said an ideal place for a romantic getaway . Like you I've been going to Thailand for about 4/5 months every year for just over 30 years now , but unlike you I don't speak so fluently as you do , I also fell in love with Thailand and Thai people they have taught me so much in my life , when I'm there I feel at home , I was there again in 2020 for 8 months as couldn't get back to the UK , so sadly can't make it this year and as you know we aren't allowed to leave the UK at the moment 🤐🤐 , but hopefully later this year fingers crossed 😁. Looking forward to your videos about living off grid what a great idea . O.k. take care my friend may the love and the light always be with you 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿😎😎😎.

Great place to wash the car... wonderful for you to have had the possibility to charge your mental batteries. And having a little own time. Actually not all women "allow" or understand that one need that sometimes. Also women need alone time I suppose but it's less common. Looking forward to see you coming back to your family soon.
