Otis is a credit to his upbringing, he's polite, observant and genuinely interested in learning from you and the surroundings. well done Mum and Dad

[@davidkelly-cl4mj]

Thanks for sharing Ryan, kanchanaburi is definitely a town with a lot going for it and of course you would have seen a lot of changes since you were there but at the same time I'm sure it still felt very familiar. Otis is a very well behaved child indeed and full credit for that goes to you and Damo and probably too some extent Damos mum who I'm sure gets involved a fair bit with the kids. Enjoy the trip mate, every day is another memory for you and Otis. Stay safe mate

[@davidkidd3863]

Another great video you and Damo have lovely kids you should be very proud of them they are a credit to you both❤

[@shuuyakano1732]

Thank you for the amazing experiences that will last a lifetime. Even the little things, such as finding a little dive to eat lunch, or going hunting for shells on the beach every night are the memories that will stay with us for our lives. As acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance. Your own thoughts are so perfect that made me value and respect your opinion too.

[@mattalford389]

Looks great there, as always. Very nice atmosphere in Kanchanaburi. Wouldn't mind settling there myself. One day!

[@graemeaylward8313]

Hi Ryan, thanks for sharing this break with us and I fully appreciate that there are days when you just want to enjoy time together with Otis away from vlogging. Otis is a credit to you and Damo and you are both constantly stimulating your children, not that Hugo needs much stimulating as he is a real live wire! Taking an interest in what they are doing and helping them explore the world and discover things is, in my mind, one of the many privileges, that parents enjoy, thus establishing a bond that will last a lifetime. Kanchanaburi is indeed a lively place, but with some nice quiet spots too. May God bless you both and keep you safe and of course Damo, Hugo and the in-laws at home. 😀❤🙏

[@Plutocious]

Otis is awesome! Like an old soul.

[@RichardLewis-fl9mp]

Your both great Parents

[@Radiancegrace]

The essence of the area travels thru the screen. Otis puts the being into human. Rather than most in the West who operate from the doing. He is a wonderful example of what draws me to Thailand as his nature speaks to the Buddha faith that underlies. Thank you for giving me another option to retire at. A female veteran with a service connected injury it seems like it would be so good for my soul and pocketbook. And thank you for your intuitive and natural gift in creating such rich video content, appreciatively, 🙏

[@WarrickHunt]

Kanchamaburi is my favourite place in Thailand as soon as I land from uk I get a taxi there and spend 3 or 4 nights there and go to the WW2 grave yards the bridge hell fire pass and erawan every time I go

[@Retirehuahin]

Had my wedding breakfast at Tongkan Cafe on the river. It was incredible value and food was amazing. Thanks for bringing back great memories.

[@NicolasLampkin-qr4rx]

I had my first son in my teens. I know the night he was conceived. My mission was to spend as much time as possible with him. I knew his stay at home mom was tired so I'll take him to the park afterbirth finish work to give his mom some free time. After 3 months of his birth his mom changed. My son said dada at 1 month old. Somehow his mom got angry at my son and I bonding. She left me took the kid and I never saw him again until 13 yrs later. I'm the going to give the whole story. I said all of that just to say, I miss being an active father in my son's life. Great job sir.

[@pskrak1]

You are a truly blessed man.

[@margarettownsley9500]

Otis is a fabulous little boy he seems happy and content bless him enjoy the rest of your holiday Ryan and Otis and thank you both for sharing your holiday with us

[@janwilliams4282]

It's wonderful that you can do trips like this and take Otis, and it is also something all of you can watch 40 years from now. Both you and Damo seem to have peaceful natures. It's easy to see where Otis gets it. He's a very sweet boy.

[@allanfahrenhorst-jones6118]

Excellent stuff mate. Yes, I loved having the boys with me and doing things together. I was lucky enough to have 6 years off work, when the boys were born. Cannot remember all the things we did but I remember being happy and other people remember me that way also. Now I'm 70 and a cranky old bugger. 🤭🙈👍❤️😇

[@StaffanLiback]

Interesting to hear your thoughts on Kanchanaburi. 10 years ago when I came here I did not especially like it. Now I chose this place as one of the places I stay. VERY good choice especially as I am a golfer. Ahahaha. And yes. It's recently growing FAST. New Motorway open in the weekends creating even a traffic jam especially in the Robinson crossing at times.

[@keithdonaldson5573]

Your son seems to be a real sweetheart, I love your relationship with him. It’s from the heart, and very real. It’s just nice to be a part of it. Thank you for the adventure, , as usual

[@zeocool84]

i love kanchanaburi.. im in soi yok every year... but Nakhon Ratchasima is my home away from home

[@keithwinters3031]

I believe they have live music at Tongkan Cafe every night. Pae ( great guitarist ) and his band. Starts at 7. If you like Indian food check out Curry Street just off the tourist street virtually opposite Sams Guest House.

[@johnsgarage6622]

Wonderful holiday with your son. Must see Kanchanaburi on our next trip.

[@poizonflowerx6766]

What a great vlog. Otis is so happy and well adjusted, you and Damo did a great job❤

[@RosemarieStars]

That sea bass looks delicious. Thanks for the tour.

Great place Ryan plenty of golf courses in close proximity me and a couple of my friends spend a 2/3 nights there every year

[@clivebaxter6354]

Full marks for pronouncing the bridge name properly

[@adamhend3211]

I love your style mate, excellent video. A bit of trivia for you, my ex-wife Auntie had a restaurant on the river there near the bridge.

[@neddyboy4846]

Love the videos. I've a five year old son. Would love tocspend time with him like this. I work 8-5 in Ireland.

[@JeffWittyArt]

Agreed, this is a great place to retire. Thailand has an unusual amount of quality retirement cities, I think. When you stated the distance in relation to Bangkok and the beach - I feel the same about my near-future retirement city, Korat.

[@carolineplant5510]

such a good bond

[@stupot1952]

ITS BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI NOT QUAY MY DAD WORKED ON THERE AS A JAPAN POW

[@Thailandmorethanabeach]

I have decided to give this location a go next year. Your journey with tis. Has made it very inviting. Thanks Ryan for you content.

[@whittakerwinstanleyiii4051]

I only visited Kanchanaburi for a day last year, but its definitely a very special place id like to spend more time on future visits to Thailand.

[@hobo1704]

Good timing, I am actually going there in a few weeks for the first time. Looking forward to seeing a new area. Cheers.

[@khunkima1032]

I just spent couples days during this weekend, it is fine place and worth considering.

[@stellamarina4123]

I stayed by the river there for a few days and really liked the place. I loved watching the bats on the river in the evening and the resident monitor lizard. I also found all the different farm crops being grown there very interesting. Not just the usual rice. Train ride from Bangkok was very cheap.

[@brianphuket5951]

My absolute favorite non-beach town, lovely street, cool shops, great food. Don't forget to stop in at Bells Pizza!!!

[@WalkingmanPattaya]

The riverside cafe is very attractive with the beautiful wood tables similar to yours at home, the outdoor sitting areas very nice as well. Bravo tis, he sees the size and opulence of the restaurant as it has 4 air conditioners. He likely understands that there is a big cost to run them as well.... Yes we are as you are grateful you spend a lot of time with family at home, and while vacationing as well....and get some vlogs in for the memories. Peace and Love Y'all

[@LouDeVere]

Hiya Ryan. Thank you for this insight. All these 'food' places you're going to with your son, has reminded me of how difficult it is in Thailand to eat healthily. If you're into heavily processed or fried foods, then Thailand isn't a problem. For those of us who don't want the modern diet of low nutritional, high fat, high carb foods, Thailand can be a nightmare. Everything has sugar in it. See a packet of peanuts or cashews - check out the second ingredient. If you're staying somewhere and can cook - not a problem. Fresh food is available but out on the streets or in the restaurants, I find it a minefield.

[@Marcfj]

I live near the beach in the province of Rayong and love it here.

[@kevinhall8063]

As usual, a very interesting vlog. Great to see you and Otis spending time together.

[@Kal-xu6yz]

Your son is such a well behaved boy with an amazing smile. You should be so proud of him 😊

[@SamJamerr]

There’re a few places there on the nearby lakes that have floating accommodation. Not the tourist ones but those for locals with water slides, canoes, bouncing castles and all sorts of watersports plus quality Thai food all at reasonable rates. Rarely see a foreigner and usually advertised only in Thai as they’re targetting local parents with kids of course but heaps of fun. Highly recommend if you live in Thailand and have kids.

[@jasonjudkins2056]

I’m coming to Thailand, 3 days in Bangkok, then off to Kanchanburi for a the weekend then to Lopburi for the rest of the time. Thanks for showing me some places to check out there.

[@lillianrosbottom7366]

Your saxophone bar was wonderful in hua hin. Brilliant night's 😊😊

[@robinhazell6019]

I lived in expats Kanchanaburi from 1992 - 2003. I was working, but in those days, not ,many expats were there.

[@skyfarmorganics]

We loved it there also mate on our recent trip and if I was single it may be an area I would choose. My wife says the river they call more like Kwhere... like where with K on the front.

[@florianhladik1093]

“It’s enough“ - wise 😊

[@tonygoochafanchi578]

Rice with egg. A staple meal of Thai kids everywhere. My son is now 21 and its still his go to meal of choice at least 2 to 3 times a week.

[@JeffWittyArt]

Was Otis carrying an Optimus Prime toy? Transformers are a fun toy!

[@wekker090]

I love kanchanaburi, in a few years the high speed rail line will change it forever not sure for the good.

I used to live there. I was a teacher at Daruna.

im suprised Otis dosnt want the same style hat as dad.

❤👍🏻Thought it was a village, but love by the river. Hopefully in good health 2025 & will visit there. ❤🙏🏻💞💞

[@michaelj2528]

More important to spend time with Otis while he still young important memories for you both to remember in the future . I miss out on this with my dad he was working two jobs to keep a roof over our heads you never get those times back now at 71 I look back my dad and me miss out . Always interesting and informative and entertaining.

More time with your kid's the better, the bond is created by time not toy's.

Loviing your journey. Punthai do a membership card. It's not much to buy it. But the discounts are fantastic. I have already drunk the cost of the membership in discounts and got points.

Are there quality medical facilities in Kanchanaburi town area ? Important considerations for older folks retiring there.. thanks for infos Ryan

[@stevemahoney6493]

The POW cemetery has some powerful mojo. A lot of hard men lie restlessly there.
