    Love the content, your top tip is sadly true, too many tragic story's of lives cut short in paradise! One thing I love about Thailand is that it reminds me of my childhood in the UK in the 70's (endless summers and freedom) before the rise of Health and safety culture but it does mean you need eyes in the back of your head! I really enjoyed my travels in Chiang Mai and up into the mountains, first time I ever felt chilly in Thailand :) Seem to be less mosquitoes too!!! Keep on having fun and sharing your experiences, good stuff.

    Wow! What a great vlog with some amazing sounds as well. I loved the interview with Roddie Lorimer, and hope that someday he will write an autobiography of his fantastic life. I always think that session musicians who play with the great artists are the unsung heroes of the music industry. God bless you Ryan (and family of course) and keep you safe on your travels. 🙂

    I had to come back and say I listened to Layla and watched Roddy's trumpet solo.....Brilliant, amazing and so reminded me of how much I enjoyed listening to Eric Clapton....all of the music I followed in my heyday!! 👍👌 (Still listen...)

    Thanks so much for this. One of my favorite things is the artists and talents that make up the backdrop of music that shaped us in one way or another. As a musician who played backing and did backing vocals for some stuff I have a deep appreciation for the talent, effort and skill that support so much of what we know.

  • @gerardwise67

    Top tips mate! 🙏
    I watch a few different expat vloggers and you're good at keeping it real.
    Saddly and somehow oddly there's a darker side of demise that happens here far too often to too many farangs. Suicide.
    It's shocking how many that chose to end it here...!?
    On a cheerful note jam on! Nothing better than listening to music and connecting with old friends on a road trip.
    Cheers to staying alive.

He had weeks without pain relief and not being able to move. Luckily he survived to tell his story. Nice road trip. Thank you for sharing. Have a lovely weekend

    Hey Ryan and Roddy, a very nice video and a wonderful time spent with an old friend. Makes me regret that I didn't stick with my love for music. It seems that life gets in the way sometimes and the baggage that comes with it. It drags you down and you feel like you have to take on more baggage and one day you wake-up and you're an old man and everything you wanted is just memories.
    Depressing but true. Thanks for sharing your friend with us.

    I have a ‘Thailand tattoo’ from a motorcycle accident however I followed my elders advice. Didn’t have police involved, Do not drink and drive, ever, and be very careful of other drivers, be safe, I seen so many accidents, almost had a bad one avoiding a dog in the rain, I was told by Thai people, “don’t break for a dog or you will have accident” So I thought about it, always wore my helmet, and slowed down !

    Obviously if someone comes to Thailand, gets wasted, opens their mouth, acts like an ass, they will have TROUBLES. Same in any Country. Same for acting/driving/riding like a jackass on the roads. BUT...if you come to Thailand and smile, are courteous. and drive/ride responsibly, everything will be 100% fine. I've traveled to Thailand 4 times. Bangkok, Islands, River Kwai area, Phuket and way up-out East.....NEVER HAD TROUBLE.... LAND OF SMILES!!!.....AND I've never had an impression of a threat or danger. Off the beaten path you do find very quiet businesses/gas stations, etc... I've found the Thai's in every such location to be friendly and hospitable.

      Oh I agree with your comments, but I’ve had friend that were mowed down on a bike or hit a soi dog in the road so it was really just bad luck because of danger. Also Thailand has the second highest per capita American tourists killed in the world next to Pakistan which has the most. 2016 data.
