2 жыл бұрынPaul Wallis is back again for Part 3! In this interview Paul will tell some hilarious stories from his 36 years spent in Thailand.
First up, Paul tells us how he played a practical joke on a Thai security guard.
Then Paul tells the hilarious tale of how he was the brunt of a practical joke himself.
Next up is a boxing fight in Pattaya which went all wrong for Paul.
Finally, Paul ends the interview on a sombre note and explains his plans if he ever gets very sick in Thailand.
Paul is a real character. There aren’t many left like him. It was a pleasure to hear his stories and put them on the channel.

Wonderful interview again with Paul. But once again at about the twenty-minute mark I can totally relate with him. It seems as if we have had parallel lives. I am now on the road again alone for at least two weeks filming for my own channel. I never have any set plans for the next day when I wake up as to where I will wander, where I will eat, or even sleep that next night. I am convinced my entire life I have been somewhat guided by something outside of my own consciousness. Not saying it has been easy but it has been the most incredible journey. I have no regrets. My hunch is the moment I have to leave I will have a smile on my face. Likely my biggest regret will be not telling all the good souls I have encountered I wished them well and most of all I loved them.

This is the third episode I’ve watched and they’re fascinating to watch. Partly because I also fell in love with Thailand when I first visited at a similar time as Paul first did (1991), but also because Paul is such an interesting bloke. Maybe we’re similar in some ways, although at 53 I guess I’m a little younger than Paul, but it’s always nice to know you’re not the only one with a similar outlook to life and Thailand in general. Great work, fellas. And I subbed after about the first few minutes of the first episode!

Could make for lots of great content, and also help expand the channel's audience. Pete, I reckon it's worth at least trying out and seeing what the response is like. Perhaps start with Thais who have lived in the west and returned and have experience of both cultures and interesting stories to tell from that.
