LMAO!! This brudda just bowls into a salon and starts chilling and filming! Love it!!

Let me take this first comment spot to mention everybody hating or spreading negativity towards this channel can fuck right off. Please don't ever let that nonsense get to you and I hope you keep catering to those who love to see your videos everytime! We are a (silent) vast majority!

hi Charlie, i believe your story about the "mango girl". in 1987 (!), i met a girl in patpong (bkk), i bought her a few ladydrinks... (long story, so i make it short) she told me "if you want me (we mostly talked with our "hands" and with the help her friends as my english isn't great and hers was nonexistent!), dont' barfine me...wait until the bar closed, and we'll go together"... i stayed with that girl for 3 weeks or so, she taught me my first thai words ( later on, i learnt it was isaan dialect!). she never asked me for money...but when i left to travel back home, i gave her "many hundred dollars" . she cried at the airport.... i don't know, i'm a bachelor and intend to remain so (i'm not young any more, anyway :-), but i think i fell in love. it took me a while to "forget" her. then for many reasons, i couldn't visit thailand ...i went back 10 years later, of course, that bar didn't exist any more...i just remember the girl's name "Ponn". i still keep some pics of her i made with my camera canon eon 600....

oh man! i'm so excited to see you grew through youtube so well that you can now afford a better lifestyle. that's amazing and amusing :)

I'm addicted to your videos. Keep up the good work. I'm visiting Pattaya in January my first time.

I first went there in 1979 and stayed at Siam Bayshore for 12 dollars per night then. The walking street was just compacted dirt. And there was nothing else there. Second road was a dusty track and Beach Road had hardly anything other than Walking Street. Back then I also met a girl who gave me 5 days for no money. Ive been back about 10 times since, over 38 years and seen it changing into the ugly concrete place it is now, and the attitudes and manner of the girls has changed equally. Of course, they are the grand daughters of the original girls. I became addicted to the whole thing, as a lot of guys do, and luckily managed not to destroy my whole life over it. I remained in UK and just visited Thailand. Whenever I dream of my trips there, it is always of my early trips and I find when visiting now that Im somehow looking for the feelings I got back then. But now Im old and its all lost forever and moved on. I was absolutely in love with the whole scene there. They tell me this is down to a scientifically proven phenomenon called The Coolidge Effect. Look it up.

thank you. im close to retiring. your videos made me so... filled with wonder about traveling! you are answering a lot of questions and just being REAL, thank you for these videos young man. love from the midwest usa. stay safe.

Why are you so awkward

I can appreciate your "Mango Girl" story. I had several port calls there from 88-93. Girls were genuine and generous with their time and food. I know it's a time long gone, but I like to reminisce. Thanks for sharing your stories, I am enjoying them.

What condo was that for $400 per month?

Your videos are informative. I'm planning on going out there next year for a couple of weeks, to experience it myself. Keep the videos coming, Thanks.

someone be taking a shit and this dude be all up zooming in on the grains of rice in it... but straight up all jokes aside keep it up love the detail and effort! i'm nowhere near retirement age but every video makes this my final destination!

PEACE! I was thinking of moving thee for retirement.. I just met a beautiful Thai lady here in the states, dark and beautiful!!! At a restaurant, i sort of felt it before I went into the restaurant, we talked, she told me to come back, and i am planning to do so! I like more common, down to earth people, I am naturally down to earth cause my mom's side is country, but I am also somewhat sophisticated in my thinking and cultured from my 30+ years of ancient research, study and spirituality... I think I may be open to her and when we started talking about Nature, Thailand, life, she opened up pretty good, the smiles are fabulous, shook hands, WOW soft skin, dang, I didn't know I like those Thai gals!! lol ha ha ha ;-D Life is what you make it!!! Peace and Love!!!!

Good video, man. And good luck getting that condo, that would be a serious upgrade.

I just had 1 month holiday in chiang mai 3 month ago. And I had the same experience. Met a tinder girl and paid her for first night 1000b. But she liked me (I am 22 and she was 28 and hot) and stayed with me 1 month for no charge. Had a incredible cool holiday with her. Together in chiang mai , Pai , Bangkok, Ko Phangan , Ko Samui. And in all the weeks , she paid sometimes the restaurant, paid her own laundry , paid her own hair cut and other stuff. 1 month pure gf feeling with no cash included with a freelance girl. It still happens today , not only 15 years ago. Its over and I found a new true gf only 4 weeks after my holiday in my own country germany. But the 1 month in thailand was still magic and beautiful.

Movies keep getting better and better!

Enjoyed the video CCC & a bit different to the mainstream vloggers out here. Cheers Leigh.

love your videos guys...great tips...first time I went to thailand I spend like US $5000 in 9 days I over did it.. now I know more how to have a great vacation and for a lot cheaper...thanks guys cheers from chicago

The Girl that sells corn is cute..

I am interested starting with something like this, my future stay in Thailand. The over there finding a similar condo like yours. Thanks for posting.

Your friend Sean is awesome! Pretty fun cooking and eating together, I used to do that back in uni with my buddy. We used to study and go workout together and play video games. Good times.

The food is so shitty the dog won't even eat it.

Forget 2005. I went to koh Samui in 2013. The first girl I met first night I arrived, she wakes me up with amazing Thai green curry and rice she cooked.. was with me for 3 days.. no money involved.. I'm brown indian !!

Your videos are awesome fun, just random exploring into a different place. The explorer kid in me likes this type of videos lololol very relaxing.

tnx for filming. great stuff. you gotta learn the language so the vids will flow easier when you're communicating with the locals. Great Vids man

The gym was awesome. Simple but effective. Love the dogs too

"Mango Girl!" What an interesting story dude! Thanks for sharing! 2018 or 2100, I want to go to Thailand & Vietnam/ Philippines too!! All beautiful and interesting places! Peace!

Another good interesting vlog ...thanks for the content. Not sure i could handle the mashed up potoatoes too many times per week. I know you consider them a healthy choice, but there must be a little more variety than potatoes and black rice. Keep up the informative videos..well done

You say back in 2005 Americans were a novelty and it was different. I was there in 1983 and then it was still doing the same trade. It was all built on the American trade during Vietnam war. You should study your own history

Nice video.

I enjoyed your videos mr. Charlie. Thank you

its fun watching you cook:-)

Channel is great keep up the good work Charlie, where is the Flintstone gym?

It's a great video... Really Charlie nice one....

I miss these old videos

Good to know you're doing better, bro! Have you considered doing something on the side.. Such as tour guide on a rental scooter for some of your viewers here that are not familiar with the areas or getting ourselves situated in a condo?

Excellent video!!! Your editing skill and film making production value is really picking up. You can take the crown for number #1 Thailand vlogger.

Possible Geoff Carter sighting at 6:13?? Also, where is the flintstone gym?

Nice video: I enjoyed the mango lady story. Carry on.

Just stumbled across your page will enjoy tookwan for sure thanks for your efforts God bless

You're an interesting character. Just walking into a barber shop- no purpose, other than just to hang out, and film random people getting their hair cut. :) Not a criticism by any means... just saying, you're a bit out there- but that's not a bad thing. Some of the random scenes in your videos make me miss floating around Pattaya and other parts of Thailand in similar, aimless fashion. Cheers, and kudos for another interesting video. BTW... where is that Flinstones gym- wish I knew about it during my last (7 month) stay. :)

I assure you Sean is a good trusted man and of course Charlie too. Love your channels👍 Some says Charlie is Handsome so i just want to see his face just once.😃😃

thing for me is I remember when most places were fields back from second road lol

I was there in 2008, and it was quite touristy then. Great place and friendly people. No motor bike encounters though.

Great video

what was that instrumental piece you used in the video when you were telling us about the mango girl

Big f'kin trays of eggs have to be worth looking at. In Lotus you get a ludicrous tray of about forty for very little money, but they're almost impossible to carry. If you crack two or three into the bottom of a bowl and dump a load of steaming starch on top of them you can whisk them through and they'll cook instantly - if the rice/pasta is really hot.

Hi Charlie! What is the name of the condo which u visiting with Sean at the begining of the video?

Congrats on the new accommodation,,, now you have some room to relax and enjoy a little more space and hopefully more quiet on top of the Pratamnak Hill, what is the name of the condo,,,, is it near Cozy Beach?

Having the best place in Thailand!!

Thanks man. I like it too much

Meanwhile I'm enjoying my five guys while watching Charlie. Good stuff once again buddy this channel has really taken off and I'm proud to be one of the first subscribers.

I like how you just mess around whole day

you speak of the good old days back in 2005, and when 2 young Americans were a rarity there...Let me take you back to the prehistoric days then... I was in the Marine Corps in 1983 and we were coming into Thailand for some R&R before going back to Beirut, Lebanon. We actually did a 2 day operation with the Thai Marines on land, Some of the toughest troops we ever trained with. As as we were doing training exercises young children would come up to us with soda and ice in a small plastic sandwich bag with a straw sticking out of it wrapped tightly with a rubber-band, it was truly one of the only countries, were you could feel the love of the people, not hate, not anger .It also turned out us being there delayed or stopped a coup attempt. After that we were given a 96.. 4 days in Pattaya in 1983, before it was spoiled...let me tell you it is one of my best memories... The first day we went and checked out all the hotels and bars to get a idea were to go, as the next day was payday, and we wanted a head start that next morning.. As we waited for the landing craft to take us back to the ship, two beautiful Thai girls walked up and asked us why we were going back to boat so early? Me and my buddy told them we wanted to eat and shower and we had no money until pay tomorrow.. The girl looked at me and said we have food and shower back at bungalow... well needless to say we barley made it back to our boat and almost missed movement. they wanted nothing from us but us and we as a couple had the best 3 days of my life. I am 55 now and never forgot her or the beautiful people there... when I retire I will return there. I know its changed 300 % but it is still a beautiful country and people

"meanwhile back at the homestead" 😂 it looks like Ballymun flats 😂😂

Recent subscriber I enjoy your vlogs.

Hi, what was the name of that new home place at the start of the video? Looks amazing, I fancy staying there next visit. Just subscribed and enjoying your videos, thanks.

Thank you great story. I like your speret.

I met a girl in Pattaya by the sea road and asked for a drink. She said yes and we spent a few days and nights together, She did not ask for money, but I bought our food and drinks. She did make me buy a few clothes for myself as she said I need to wear new t shirts if we were going out together. We still text each other on Whatsapp. She has never asked for money from me. She is open about being a freelancer.

thats a nice room. now is this 400usd/mont valid also during high season? as this was filmed in the low . great videos

song name in the middle of video ?

That guy SHAUN PLAYS POKER AT THE BELLAGIO IN VEGAS

I'm awkward asf too. Keep on keepin on bruh

Man I miss these videos!!

hi Cheap Charlie can i have the address of that condo $400, 00/month?

I notice she stayed OUTSIDE the door when you inspected the rooms lol

Americans by the thousands came to pattaya with their warships in the 70´s and 80´s. I know, I was there. So in 2005 two Aemricans were not a rare sight.

That studio in San Fancisco now would be not $400, but $4000 or 131,910 baht. Scary huh?

nice video :) thumps up for 20 minute good stuff

a dog rejecting human food is quite something

Hey Charlie! You say you were making decent money online at the time, can I ask what that was?? Thanks

Where are you with the nice 400B apt?

Your videos are awesome, never stop. The new place looks really modern inside, and only $400 a month... where I live $400 a month gets you a milk crate to sit on. And yes that law is draconian, disgusting. 2am is also way too early, go to Hong Kong and places are open ALL night EVERY day, nice areas too.

Is it possible to get any beef or even goat in this city? Thought there would be a lot more seafood available.

What's the name of the condos you were showing at the beginning of the video for $400/mo? Thx.

Congrats on your success and love focus on healthy living and not JUST the night life. That is a very nice place and looks like a great deal, are you really moving there?

The first girl having her hair done @4:25 looked ok.

Is there a reason you buy bottled water over getting a water filter for your tap water at your apartment?

Check out the girl @5:54 getting her hair extensions blown out .

Lol how many gf's u had??? Anyhow,im enjoying ur blog bcoz ur showing cheaper place to stay. Keep it up =}}}

Great video mate. I was just wondering when you said you where starting to make good money online... How what job did you do online?

I really enjoyed the video Charlie, and it's good you have a buddy Sean. It reminds me of being in Pattaya 15 years ago. Those are the good old days where some of the girls just want companionship even though they worked in a bar. As what you mentioned, we just want to treat them like a friend and vice versa. Even though Pattaya has changed a lot, but I will still want to make a trip there early next year. It will be great to catch up for a beer when I'm there. Thanks again for all the videos.

Why do you 'dumb down' your English when you talk to Thai's?! It's horrible to listen to and sometimes you sound worse than the Thai's broken English. A wise Chinese immigrant always told me, although their 'spoken English' may not sound fluent to you, they can generally understand you when you speak normal English to them. It's insulting to 'dumb it down' when you talk to them! You've got good content, but it'd be much better viewing if you just spoke normal all the time!

I'm a fan of yours but you really need to slow down and give us a chance to read the note S you put up. It makes your videos much less enjoyable and I noticed it in just about all the videos that you post.

So whats the name of that $400/mth condo that looks interesting? btw duck neck is pretty good and cheap, you shud try it not a lot of meat but skin and some meat at base of the neck, I usually eat the roasted version if you can find it.

Charlie can you give me your patreon link I want to throw you a few English pound a month for all your hard work 😁😁😁

CC, what is the name of the apartments at the start of the video. TY.

how much does a trim and wash/dry cost for that salon? Where is it?

Hey where was the first studio?

I get a lot out of your videos. Good info! I often wonder though, sometimes you hold the camera on people for what seems an uncomfortable amount of time. Does anybody ever give you shit about it?

Hi Charlie, how do you support your living standards in Thailand? do you have a job there or what?

where was this studio for rent exactly? What was the residence called I'd like to stay there

What newspaper was that?

What is the name of the Hotel/condo at the beginning?

I find Vietnam is half cheaper than this with the same luxury and clean, politeness by the room attendants.

Sean is a good friend to Charlie.

Gotta slow down on the parts you have to read. Your fucking great dude!!

great video and great interview what will you do tonight? and what eat you every day?

What do you do for drinking water? I know it's dumb ?

Amazed at the hate here, well not really. The guy is a documentarian and has the balls, guile and easy manner to slide himself into his surroundings to film this content that people find fascinating. This is how photojournalists work - you have to get in there and close to shoot it. I dont see anyone here looking uncomfortable, maybe bemused or confused, like 'why would you want to, what's so interesting?' Good for him I say.
