Don’t forget to give the video a like if you enjoyed! It greatly helps the performance of the video. Thank you! ❤️

Having a native speaker with you is a wise precaution

Once again, regardless if you are a Taxi driver, Thai Tourist guide, or a Ferry boat driver, everyone wants to be in an Ethan Lusby travel video and get his five star reviews.

I love the cook. He says to be calm and patient when cooking. He says that prepared foods bought from a store won't have the same good taste and aroma as food that is home cooked. He reminds us it's not just food, but that food feeds the soul and is an expression of culture. Congratulations on your diving certification Ethan James!

I very much appreciate that you included your discomfort and stress from the chaos, Ethan. That hustle you encountered is, in my experience, so typical on the biggest cities in the US as well. Everyone's trying to make a buck. As a tourist, one can be polite without sharing any personal information. And yes, in this world where everyone has a camera, it *is* very interesting how many objections to recording you received. In the future, would you mind discussing local etiquette tourists should know when traveling to Thailand? Also, what are you using to protect your camera in underwater shots? I'm really loving this Thailand series and am so excited to see more!

Thailand is going to be your second home now. Please ask your friend to teach you how to speak Thai. It would make your life so much easier living in Thailand and dealing with the local.

“Where you stay?” Me: “Your mom’s house.”

You are one crazy dude to go to the 'Murder Falang Island' of Thailand - the most notorious and dangerous island in all of Thailand.. wow.😳

You make very excellent videos, Ethan. You have great images on land and water and underwater and in the air. You show yourself very clearly having fun and being in areas that are questionable. I think your videos will be watched days, weeks, months and generations from now. You always look and sound great.

Another great blog Ethan, the editing and sound is amazing! Thanks to you I’m getting really excited for my trip to Phuket in February. Thanks for all your hard work! 👍

Your videos show the beauty of the places you've been. This vid was spot on, as always. Thanks, and stay safe.

I wasn't really social enough to travel in college, a lot of my friends where exchange students to various countries and so I approve you travelling and showing it off. I'm 39 and so it was different then than now but still. Thank you for all your videos. I listen to some of you almost every day now!

5-Star video. Really wonderful. Thanks so much!! Also, for what it's worth - "When in Rome...." "When in Thailand ..." When served a meal with rice on the side, Thais will first eat a bit of rice as a thank you to the gods, an honorific for the harvest. Also, just as eating peas on a knife is considered offensive and rude in the US, so is eating with a fork in Thailand. Lots of foreigners do it and by now the Thais just ignore it, but try eating with a spoon - it's what Thais do.

Glad to see you are OK Ethan, take care.

LOVED, Keeping it real. Keep living your best.

Thank you Ethan what a great time you are having in Thailand..scuba diving..fire dances..delicious food and fantastic scenery.. and how cheap things are. Looking forward to your boat trip next time. Take care and be safe..lots of love xxxx 😍😍🤩🤗

Bigger adventures than usual - looked great. Cool trip 👍

This was fascinating to watch! Your videos are awesome! ❤

I love Thailand so much but love Ethan (James) even more. Keep up the great video buddy ❤️

What a beautiful exploration!. Very special trip with special vibrations Keep having fun to the max.

Thank you James for the exciting video!! Glad that you accompany with fluent Thai friends. Thank you for the reminder. Best of wish from me in Marudi Sarawak.

All your various musical clips are really wonderful...I have been appreciating every on on them for the several months I have been watching your channel.

Amazing stuff. It would be so easy for a person to go to a Thailand and just have a normal visit - at normal hotels in big cities, seeing typical attractions. You really get into the adventure and that’s awesome. Thanks.

Have missed seeing you. This was such a wonderful video. Best of all energy your way!

Wow Ethan you’re getting to see a lot of Thailand that I never got to see and I spent a year over there. Pad Thai curry is my absolute all-time favorite curry dish but I always had it served over white rice. Be safe and be aware there are those that will always take advantage of foreigners. Love your travel Vlogs❤️👍🏻👍🏻 Sawadee cup✌🏻

I really enjoyed this one, Ethan. Best wishes!

Thanks for the adventure, Ethan!

I did not know Koh meant island! It all makes sense now.

Very interesting vid. Seems like you had a bit of a scary experience on that island. Safe travels!❤

Absolutely love your videos !!

Hey, James! Nice to meet you 😊😊❤️❤️

Around 20 people asked if you needed a taxi within just a few minutes? That's funny, but I guess people are hungry for tourist business, so that's a good thing. Why that man asked where you were staying is creepy though. I've had a similar experience (and I'm not even cute!).

Loved it!❤

Great vlog!! I just discovered you here on KZfaq....and so very happy I did. Your vlogs are terrific!!

That was terrific Ethan! 😊

Be very safe diving!! Enjoy!!

really like how you kept it real, but without bringing in too much negative energy. :)

Happy time for your holiday in Thailand , Love you guy .

This was awesome! Ethan is living his best life for sure! Yes, clearly these people did not want there faces on camera because they are most probably scammers. Thanks for the great vlog, Ethan! Stay safe! ✌🏻🙂✌🏻

Gee I'm kinda surprised no one in the comments picked up on.ypur first name..one would assume Ethan is your middle name or a alias...no matter you can enjoy a life most dream off...is the driver's side of the car on the right ( steering wheel ) ..great hotel.strange fish...see you next scuba adventure

Great video mate, so natural. I also swear by Wetherspoon’s. Bet you can’t wait to get back to sunny Thailand though!😀

Another entertaining video. Thx

New subscriber here, Ohio, USA. Nice, informative vids. Was in Thailand some years ago, couple times. Loved it. Was wondering how you support yourself while doing all the traveling?

Congrats on your scuba license!! Have a great time and be safe!!

Have fun in Thailand hope you have a great time here

I love Thailand and Thai culture and I am not surprised that you like it, as well. If I might, may I suggest a visit to Hat Yai.

Bangkok, Thailand, I was there for a week. Great people, great food, I hope you had a great time. Thank for showing me the land again!

[ I really enjoy seeing the puppy doggys living their best life on the Island. ]

Superb video. Interesting & real

Happy to see you I miss your video. Have a great day. Love you my friend ❤

Awesome vlog ah…James! (I use my middle name too!) love how the yellow line is just a rough guide for your driver! You looked tipsy (yet sexy ;-) getting into your diving gear, congrats on getting your license, certainly needed for this trip! I also see your still the dog whisperer where ever you end up! Again, I appreciate you learning a few words of graciousness. (Sure it helps to have a friend that is near who speaks it fluently.) The gaggle of taxi drivers, massage therapists and tour guides at any ferry landing is always a gauntlet that must be faced. You handled it well! 🦩🏳️‍🌈🌻🇺🇦 hugs,clarence (see why i use my middle name? ;-)

Very cool video - keep a diary and write a book sometime or maybe a novel based on your experiences

Excellent content 👌

Ethan has lost some weight since the Caribbean. Looks good!

Hello there, Hope this finds you doing well. I have watched many of your videos which I find to be informative as well as entertaining. Your ''style'' of presentation is wonderful. There are others who do travel videos, However, Yours are very comfortable to experience. Thank you.

Seeing that eel pop out was shocking, but most creatures in the ocean give me a fright. Can’t wait to see your boating adventure!

okay all you Ethan Lusby fans, we now know the travel buddy speaks fluent Thai. Add that to our clue book.

Great video!

Fantastic travel video

Have a nice time in Thailand

Wow wee ❤️ you got a lot of people who love you. 🥰👍

Koh Tao is one of the most laid back places I have visited, cheap and basic! But be careful, it's also known as murder island! It's a documentary style video available on KZfaq, watch before you visit!

so wait, do we call you James now 🤯

Hey kid, you rock! I like your positive outlook in life, and how you don't give a s**t about what people can think... keep on rocking the world! You're welcome to visit Los Angeles anytime!

Thank you love your videos

On behalf of the Thai people, I thank you. that you see the value of being Thai.

now that was a great video. some voice overs and some live talk. great advise and great to see that your are visiting some places off the beaten path. exciting to see you dive and truly some fantastic underwater pictures. also, that kid on that koh was just trying to solicit you. surprised you haven't seen something like that before. they can be handy if you are in a tight squeeze but other than that Thailand is not known for things like pick pocketing or credit card fraud which happens here in America all the time. Most people in Thailand are not greedy and are really friendly. I dated a Thai guy once and he was beyond hot but he was in the closet and it was not my thing at the time. Can't wait to see more videos from that part of the world. Don't forget to post on tiktok. Show us some of those hot Thai guys. Thanks!!!!!!

Good video! ✌️

I'll have to consider a vacation to Thailand some day.

Your videos are amazing. I wish I was there, I love thailand

I’m so happy that you’re having a great time. I’ve been to Thailand many times and love it there. I hope you’ll get to visit Pattaya. I usually stay at the most beautiful Gay/Straight friendly resort. It’s worth investigating, let me know if you want to know more ❤

This guy is a superstar. How does he not have 10,000,000 subscribers?

Just came across your channel. I am a subscriber now. Good content.

Good for you on the scuba license 👍👍

Cool video !

Wouah mais quel merveilleux voyage, tu nous fais un magnifique cadeau avec ces images, un immense merci a toi. Bises

Great video 📹 👍 ..... thanks for showing us such lovely places exist ..... Nice to see your having a great time....... (( stay safe )) look forward to seeing your next adventure 📹 👍

South River Seahawks! No wonder you seem so intelligent. Your high school is one of the best academically. I am near Washington which is my favorite city. Thanks for sharing your experiences in Thailand. Your travel reports are enjoyable and very informative. Best wishes in your travels.

Congrats on your SCUBA license! Hope you have a blast

Wow.! Looks great. But the food and dogs would kill me been allergic. Great video. Cheers.!

....another great video, Ethan! I enjoy your channel very much - so interesting and informative! Thanks! God bless, Brother Charlie

I'm glad your Thai speaking friend helped shoo that guy away. I've seen the movie Hostel! (And being American would've made it worse 😆)

That is so cool I want to go there someday

YOURE MY IDOL! 💕 I Love your videos, I love YOU as a person, you're GREAT❣️ Keep producing, Im going to keep watching!!💯👀 Love &Laughter Always, 💕 Danny

Looks lovely. Last time I went to Ko Tao there were no cars or roads or concrete buildings ! How the world changes LOL

Is Thailand more expensive than Vietnam? Happy New Year Ethan! Hope you enjoy your time in Thailand and wherever else you end up and have a great 2023! What are your travel plans for this year? I'll be heading to Thailand for 16 days in May. 4 days in Bangkok, then Phuket and Chiang Mai, and ending in Luang Prabang, Laos.

Seems like 👍 your pretty cautious. You travel to places and do things I wouldn't dare to. Your incredible. Wish you the best always ❤️ and be safe. Wish I could be with you!. From Connecticut 🇺🇸.

You are so lucky. Congrats.

Would Love more in depth food descriptions, especially when outside of the USA. That purple sauce ????

Those were some aggressive people on that island, wow. I wouldn't enjoy that at all. Keep yourself safe and keep having lots of fun ❤️✌️

Great video! I wish I had your courage when I was your age! Thanks for the video! Peace.

ethan your perfect!

When you come to Saigon, Vietnam, it would be great if I can take you around. You seem to be a friendly person.

love your vids

My Filipino husband and I will be retiring to the Philippines in about 7 years. I look forward to exploring the country with him. As a gay couple, we were a little concerned about visiting some Asian countries. Glad you are having good experiences in Thailand!

This is a big leap!🌎

Morning Ethan.

I like your videos... traveling is my life. Is this your most recent video? What happened to your dog when you moved to Thailand? Are you still in Thailand? My friend works there with the USAID.

I'm glad you like itttt ,I’m Thai 🥳🥳🥳🥳

The guy asking where you were staying, made me think of the movie "Taken", where Liam Nesson's daughter gets kidnapped from her hotel room to become a Human Trafficking victim. I'm glad your friend was with you to protect you.
