The THAILAND They Don't Want You To See 🇹🇭

[@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 🙏😊🇹🇭

[@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.

[@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 🙏🙏

[@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

[@malcolmday9398]

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!!!

Please let us meet her properly. Looking forward to exciting contents, it's gonna be great coz there will be no annoying ads

[@nikkimclay5474]

she may not want to be on camera, nobody has the right to ask others to do that !

[@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?

[@dr.who2]

Its good to see the other part of thailand life good job good video

Luv your videos mate makes me wanna come live there

[@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.

[@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’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.

[@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..

Great video It might be a good idea to put the money you pay for med insurance into gold and put it to one side until you need it that way you will not have any problem about worrying if you are covered.

[@fhorst02]

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...

Why all the whiskey drinking in the villages, how did it originate ?

[@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.

[@KavanOBrien]

Funny when you say having a rant , I don’t see it as that it’s just you being you , I know others on our planet see things differently, spent my life being me which hasn’t suited others but I’m here for me not others , so never stop being who you want to be rather than what others want you to be ,

[@WushuTaz]

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.
