Re: Retirees, And The Lack Of Anything Meaningful

More than a few foreign retirees in Thailand strike me as miserable. Living in their small condo with crappy furniture, a rock-hard bed and not a single photo of family, are they really as happy as they make out? Many single, foreign retirees in Thailand have simplified their lifestyle to what stri...

Re: Retirees, And The Lack Of Anything Meaningful

It depends on the person.

Some are Family types.

Others are free Spirits who want to learn and discover new things in Life.

Others are beer drinkers...🤔

KiRe: Cambodia Demands Public Apology from Uncle Roger for Food Video

Cambodian food certainly has it's highlights. Some of my favourite dishes in Cambodia included Ginger Chicken, braised pork with egg, and Amok. They had some great Chinese restaurants in Phnom Penh too. I really liked the Cambodian cafe/ restaurants that served steamed pork buns, pots of Jasmine tea...

Agreed.

The subject matter has little to do with Thailand.
Most of his stuff is about South America, and there's plenty of better Vloggers out there...

Re: Not just another travel vlogger

Just because Timmy chose to believe what a Drunken Cuban said was true, doesn't actually mean it is. Timmy should have verified this to be certain. I do believe Kurt gifted a person some money, so I doubt he's as bad as some are making out. Finally, it's possible this is a stunt to bring views to th...

Re: Not just another travel vlogger

I think a big issue is that people think that Kurt is an "expert traveller", but anybody who's seen his Thailand video will realise that the guy is basically clueless as to where to visit, making poor choices, and also being disrespectful, whilst giving the viewer a very bad representation...

Re: How is the Phnom Penh Bar/ Nightlife scene now?

There weren't many bars around the city when I first came here. There were brothels everywhere and they were cheaper than bars so even if you didn't care much for the hookers there was lots of cheap beer. Sharky and Walkabout were open late or 24 hours, Martini was another option. Most locals staye...

How is the Phnom Penh Bar/ Nightlife scene now?

Was reading an interesting article on the old Walkabout and Sharky's the other day from the Phnom Penh Post, which made me wonder what the bar and night life scene is now. It was interesting that the writer of the article wrote that Phnom Penh used to have a certain vibe, but that it has disappeared...

Re: Khao San road thru the ages

I suppose the same could be said of other Traveller type areas.
They were great back then, but now have changed considerably.

Re: Koh Samui

Has KS recovered decent tourist numbers? What is the public transport available if you don't ride bikes? Tuk-Tuk? or just bike taxis. I was thinking of a visit but when I was there last I had a car, but won't be doing that again so I was wondering how to get about without any use of bikes. Any fun ...
