  • We pickup where we left off from the previous episode, stranded 3 hours out from Pattaya. After being scammed on our resort booking, we manage to find a similar resort with a vacancy where we can salvage our weekend and get the police involved to try and catch the original scammer.

    One of the cool things about Thailand are the unexpected twists and turns that happen all the time. You guys made good on your trip despite the speedbump to start off. Looked fun!

    The resort looked nice but having an activity schedule is definately not something I'd volunteer for, although I can see the attraction for a family with kids.

    To keep the "Happy Ending" chain of good news going. Yesterday my GF asked her sister to wire 4000 Baht back home to Cambodia for some cattle related expenses. The sister inputted the wrong phone or account number into her banking app.....and off the money went, directly into somebody else's account. All day it was silence from both the bank and the recipient regarding this windfall and I assumed the money was gone forever. Last night we discovered that the recipient had actually returned the money! It was nice to have my cynicism over the situation invalidated. Glad you guys likewise had a happy ending after being scammed.

  • @MrEye4get
    @MrEye4get Před 26 dny

    This was great update on what I am guessing a "traditional Thai" vacation experience would be. Honestly looks like a great time, but I understand your fatigue after the unplanned drama. I might bring a blow up mattress if I knew the beds would be that way. LOL. I despise scammers, so glad to hear they got caught. Great content as usual.

    Don't do group trips anymore. There's always people late to things costing others their time and experiences. In Europe we missed a complete stop because 1 person got back to the bus really late. And other stops on every day we were always waiting for late people to get back to the bus.

    • @Rides4Kickz
      @Rides4Kickz  Před 27 dny

      Very true, the Chinese tours do a good job with that, if you are last or late to the bus you are shamed by the others resulting in a total loss of face, for that reason, they maintain a decent schedule.
