Ken, I arrived in Bangkok in 1997 when I was 21 for a week's holiday. Now I'm 50 and am still here.

It's difficult to explain to people why Thailand is so life changing, you just fall in love with it, and wish you could live here and never leave. It's the perfect mix, great religion, great culture, kind people, great nature, amazing food just perfect.

If anyone is curious, the uncle at 32:45 says "...and where have you disappeared to?" or "Where have you been?" in a very affectionate tone.

I first travelled to Bangkok in 2012. On my last day there, on the way to the airport in a taxi, I quietly shed a tear because I thought I wouldn't be returning for a long time. I was so wrong....I returned 3 months later to celebrate the new year with my mother, then a few month…

Due to so many of you asking about where to watch my old video(s): I unlisted them a while ago as they are old and not worth a watch anymore (in my opinion), but I just put the very first video back online again. You can find it on my channel - videos - oldest

Hello Ken I'm 18 years old and you've truly inspired me to move abroad and travel to Asia. I'm from the U.S and you've opened my eyes to what is out there. Really love the content. Keep going and how you say "hate only comes from down below."

Pro tip for Thailand, if u want to avoid the hefty atm withdrawal fees just western union yourself money and it’s only about a $2 fee compared to the $7 from the atms hope this helps at least one person

Wow what a cliff hanger. I just found you and it sounds like you’re winding down. You are one of the most sincere people I’ve found on YouTube. I guess I’ll start at the beginning and retrace your steps. Best of luck to you! Thanks for all the hard work and true sincerity.
