Unlike the theatrical polished content of our main channel, this channel will more livestreams, free talking, diary vlogs, adult themes, discussions on current affairs and topics of interest. It is a place to share, have a dialogue with subscribers and bring others into the mix, which enhances my quality of life as a rural hermit in Thailand!
'The Naked Guru" Is just a fun metaphor for being open and honest.
Thanks for joining!

[@thenakedguru]

First post to the new channel - it’s a villiage walk and talk. Thanks for any support and subscribing to the content. There are no ads on this channel.

[@AnuchaFarm]

😢So refreshing to see authentic Thai village life and not the usual conga line of YT content. Keep going. We live in Chanthaburi on an organic farm now, we sailed around on a yacht for 6 years before coming ashore. Living in Thailand is amazing. It is nothing like you are led to believe in the travel brochures

[@thenakedguru]

Thank you 🙏

[@johnsingleton1623]

Great video Ryan. For someone who is planning to retire in rural Thailand, I can see that this channel is going to give me a lot of valuable info. Thanks for sharing your experience and insight.

[@thenakedguru]

Glad you find it helpful John 🙏

[@Duncandisorderly9111]

People should know and understand there's another side of Thailand Looking forward to vlogs

[@thenakedguru]

I agree 🙏

[@samuelmartin707]

Great video Ryan!!!! I think it would be good to say it how it really is in Thailand. 2 thumbs up my friend!!!!

[@thenakedguru]

I’ll put it to a vote 😁😁

[@arcticbunyip5005]

Great idea for channel mate and nice casual video. Thinking no need for 4k, we are not here for cinematography but kicking back and listening to your "stuff" and if it's an easier upload then that's what's preferable. I think the true crime, rants, raves and information will be great . Looking forward to crime and news tonight!!!

[@thenakedguru]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@familydutton6568]

I too am a fan of true crime. Probably 75% of the channels we subscribe to are 'True Crime'. Thank you for sharing the other side of Thailand. I believe, as you were scrolling through the article, @3:49 it said they have arrested the suspect. It would be interesting to follow up and let us know how the Justice System works in Thailand as well. For example the legal process, arrests, bail, court, sentencing, ect. Thank you Ryan! Looking forward to see this channel! Greetings from North Carolina!

[@thenakedguru]

Great to know friends 🙏😊🇹🇭

[@El_Cristofaro]

Relatively new to the channel (a couple weeks in perhaps). I really enjoyed this. The free flow of thoughts and insight paired with a stroll through the village and random conversations with neighbors and your Mrs. Not many could pull this off, I believe. Requires an authentic conversation with the camera. Not easy for some, which becomes obvious listening to the many various podcasters over the years. Not a judgment. Just the way it seems. Not sure if you are still doing this type of video, but this one was good. I’m subscribed and enjoying all of the (“minimally-edited”) content. Thanks, man. Keep going!

[@thenakedguru]

Welcome to the channel and I appreciate the detailed feedback 🙏

[@El_Cristofaro]

@@thenakedguru Hey, btw … I’ve seen about a half dozen of your vids. After this walkabout video I commented on, I stumbled onto the video titled “I’m leaving my wife.” Dude, my heart sank. I, of course, soon realized you were just taking a solo trip. KZbin algorithm favors those types of catchy titles, I’m guessing. Was actually kinda surprised I had that much emotion. Ha! Also surprised some in the community would judge the trip. That’s silly. The response you shared was not reasonable. Do your thing man. Keep it up

[@magee1278]

So good to see you back in your "element" Ryan. You look happy and content. This is some of what I've been missing. You should be known as the "local mayor".....Love how friendly you are with all the people. They must enjoy seeing you filming their shops and homes. The mic overpowered the loud noises really well. Just to let you know. Stay well and keep the vlogs coming.... Big Love, 🤗

[@thenakedguru]

Great to know Magee 🙏🙏

[@TinSandwichUK]

Great to see the bigger picture of how your place (land, family and home) fits in with others in the locality and for me, a perfect viewing format for chat type vlogs especially when you interject the chat to point out a few things and interact with your neighbours as you're passing by.

[@Blasio66]

Hi friend, if I could suggest that as a part of a perhaps botanical/spiritual/ herbal series, you could test and review your home grown cbd flowers etc 😊 Just an idea.

[@thenakedguru]

Will definitely cover 🙏

Great video Ryan! I think it's almost therapeutic to have a channel like this, to just "let go" and conversate with others. I may have moved back to the states, but I still follow Thai news and wondered what your thoughts are on that horrible story. So I am thrilled you will be covering it! I am excited to see more! Cannot wait for more!!!

Thanks for taking us along for a walk in the village Ryan, it was fun to see this side of Thai life. The builder has quite the nice house!

[@thenakedguru]

Glad you enjoyed it Pierre!

[@luceinbattaglia9425]

Thailand is paradise but it might be hell. There’s always something to learn and it’s a never ending process I believe. Very few farang understand and manage to live the land of smiles to the fullest. You need to be very sensible and polite, and sometimes even that is not enough.. I believe it’s hard to find expats like you dear Ryan, very few have your easy, healthy, positive attitude👏😉🔝🍻🦾

Brilliant content! As you said it's not all flowers and butterflies. There is another side which I and many of my patrons experienced, so I hope I can help! I love your channel and more importantly your approach to living in Thailand (patience) I lacked a lot of skills in my 9-years, but I did love it and my daughter is now at University in BK. Wish you everything and family everything XXxx

I like this walk & talk. It's like a dialog where you are the only one to talk 😁

[@andreboisvertZAP]

1080 and the sound were great and the walking tour also.

[@sideshow6732]

Nice Vlog Ryan, you're brave, I don't walk anywhere in my village without a big pointy stick the dogs are a menace. So far I've managed to avoid any major illness here although I have had a couple of accidents while working and building, minor stuff, sprains, and stitches but surprisingly I didn't need to pay for any treatment in the local clinic. I imagine if I had to go to a city hospital I would still be paying the medical bills. I notice most people are starting to drink already, It would be interesting to me if you could do something about the massive health problems that white whiskey causes, I've been to two funerals this month both deaths being attributed to lao khaw but nobody talks about it. Looking forward to some tales from the dark side.

[@thenakedguru]

Interesting to know others are finding the same situation - thanks for sharing 🙏

[@SuperTheop]

Very nice walk around. My wife is from Sikhoraphum, Surin and is of khmer origins. Language is suay. Been there many times and lived there for longer periods. Love it there but starting to go insane of boredom after a couple of weeks😂

Excited I found this channel!!!

[@trentmunn9486]

Glad you are back. As someone planning to return your insights are invaluable.

[@thenakedguru]

I appreciate that!

[@mattpownall6162]

I’m also a true crime buff and can’t wait to tune into your diary series. Only this week I read a news article about an Australian man who was a bar owner in Krabi. He was stabbed to death by the husband of one of his workers over a pay dispute. As a member of my local police force also I agree with your statement that people are mad and I for one worry about the safety of my children in this world.

[@onedirection3510]

Absolutely wonderful content! I thoroughly enjoyed the walk around the village. It was vicarious joy. You said something about your name being mentioned in some kind of local news. Perhaps you could explain that. It sounded like a local radio channel or even CB channel? Those stray dogs seem like they are legitimately dangerous. Do you have any really bad stories about people getting bitten? What does the naked guru mean? Why that name?

Also a big fan of true crime being from the states there is plenty of it. Cost related video should talk a bit about what it was like to own a jazz club as an expat. Startup cost etc seems most owners or former owners either try to scare off potential competition or try to sell a course.

Thank you Margaret 🙏🙏

[@fhorst02]

Lovely video, thanks for that! Question: dice... Does playing games like Monopoly or Risk is seen as illegal? Cards like shedding and rummy? As there isn't any money involved. Mostly curious about when we get in the danger zone. More then 120 playing card is a hard rule. But with monopoly and risk you have already more.. Not 2 to ace, still cards used for playing. Apparently mahjong is illegal to play, also not 2-ace. Lots of gray area? Is the number of dice limited? Family games like the onces mentioned and Yahtzee , lots of fun with the family. When do they become dangerous?

[@thenakedguru]

I think you are fine with monpoly but in Thailand one never really knows 😁🙏

I use ACS insurance for expats, France based, reasonably priced. 5.5k THB per month, inpatient care only, for like you the serious stuff like Cancer and such. While 67k THB per year isn't cheap, if the big C comes knocking on your door you spend a few million rapidly. For motorcycle and insurance... Get a Thai license or transfer/convert your own license to the Thai system and always wear a helmet. Otherwise it's Russian roulette , something Thais do everyday of the week, kids at 9 or 10 speeding around 😅 while their care is free, it doesn't really come with a spare arm or leg...

[@petermason3540]

i have a full UK car and motorcycle license and every year I spend 15 minutes and £5.50 in the post office getting an international drivers permit without this ( and a crash helmet ) it does not matter how much you spend on insurance you will not be covered riding a motorcycle, its a small thing to do but people don't realise the importance.

The neighbor came running in and said that his rooster gotten away and came into our yard. He said that his rooster would kill my wife's barnyard rooster. We found his rooster and my wife's rooster had it down and and it was beaten and bleeding. All the rooster fighters wanted to buy her rooster. She sold him for 500 baht.

I honestly wouldn't mind hearing more "rants" about Thai insurance. I'm here on an ED Visa for about 1 year but AXA will only provide me with traveler insurance for 6 months. The school said I can find local insurance but that was the extent of their advice. Having an existing condition also makes it nearly impossible to find someone to cover you. If you do, it's literally a fortune. It seems your best option is to work for a local/international company that will cover your Thai medical expenses.
