Mad respect for you, takes a man to be honest and genuine. I'm enjoying the vids, keep it up don't give up.
You got this man! I'm moving out in August to live. I've been big into fitness for the last 10 year. Decided to get my certification for personal trainer. Gonna make videos and hopefully get a job in a resort. I won't plug my little channel, but it's guys like you that helped get me to pull the trigger!

It's amazing how much quality, information, and detail you put into your videos. It's frustrating to see channels with no content, just people walking around filming women on the streets, getting over 40k subs. Fingers crossed your channel gets the views it deserves, bro. With your background in working in the bars, do you still keep in contact with any of the girls? If you’re still close to any of them, maybe setting up some interviews could help boost your viewer count. Just an idea!

We love your videos your editing is fantastic! We are so happy to see you back doing videos. You will succeed as you are genuine. Keep up the great work it shows on your videos but enjoy it because you are living the dream 😊
Good luck Mac. You have enough charisma and subject material to make it work 👍
Keep going mate. Been a subscriber since day one. Started doing my own channel when I come on holiday. I’m glad I just do videos for fun though rather than having to rely on them. Your videos are great some of the best editing and content on the web.
Hey, Keep your chin up mate, yours is the best down to earth and knowledgeable video Ive seen on Pattaya. You are right on the mark with all your comments and suggestions ,, Keep it up.. Cheers from Hat Yai
Great vid Mac. Ebbs and Flows of life. Onward and Upward. It's the journey, not the destination. At 53, I'm still finding my way, but worry is always useless. Perhaps a bit, just to grease the wheels, but anything more is useless. When the dust settles, we always end up where we need to be.

You may not know this yet, maybe you do, but you’re in the best position you could ever be in to succeed. When you only have one option, and no plan b, that fire it creates under your a$$ hits hard! Same thing happened with me in 2016 and I’ve been doing the same thing running my own business since then. Put everything you have into daily vlogs, and all the other KZread stuff people do. You’re smart, you’ll make this work and you’ll be living very very well by this time two-three years from now. Plus, no boss, no worries about being late to work, and you can do your stuff anywhere on earth. Get it bro! Can’t wait to see you make it big. I’ll be in Pattaya end of July and maybe we will cross paths dude. One foot in front of the other. You got this

I guess is not easy coming up every single day with new ideas and content. I mean there’s a lot of KZreadrs in Pattaya doing the same stuff quite often. Obviously it takes time, hard work and dedication to growing a Channel. I think you’re in the right direction. I find your Content very interesting and entertaining. Plus you have a lot of flair and skills regarding Video/ Editing. Hang in there Mate . The future is bright 👍👏🇹🇭

Great video and interesting topic. Have you thought of doing other online side hustles? Using your experience and interests? Like Jonnyasia does move over consulting calls, or CB Media sells Merch, or getting product sponsors, creating a How to Make videos, Edit course, Retired Working 4U has really spread out side hustles, start a T-shirt business with wild images, slogans, etc. Need to keep hitting out the ideas until something lands. Anyway, Cheers.

when i first saw your videos I could tell you had what it takes to make it on youtube alone, and was disappointed that you took the work route to making money in Pattaya only because it seems like it would be a big disappointment and you have way more potential. Im happy for you that you are finally making more videos and doing it for a living, even if its out of necessity. You are a very likeable bloke and seem really genuine

Can’t wait to see all these vlogs every day from now on ,work hard and like you say it should pay off them Work .👍😎👌🌴🍻

Another good video
The algo surfaced your video, as I’m a huge fan of Thailand and South East Asia. I respect the honesty, the struggle, & the hustle. I’m not sure what your channel or other videos focus on, but my 2 cents is add way more value for us viewers by either educating us or entertaining us or both. Making a video focused on “I have no money, my gear is busted, and I need to make more videos to make money” doesn’t really add any value or compel me to subscribe. But you’re sitting on gold. We’re all over here wishing we were where you are. Feed that interest that your viewers have for Thailand. Wishing you lots of success bro! Also some my favorite channels are shot almost 100% on a Go Pro (Bisko). Dint let the equipment hold you back.

Good video again dude. In all honesty, this is one of the reasons why I may never leave the UK despite having quite a few funds saved up. As much as I love Pattaya in particular, the safety net of the UK & quick money-making stints we have here is just too comfy to leave behind. I'll most likely be one of those people that just travels periodically rather than settle overseas. Another big thing is that I'm really bad with understanding all this entrepreneurial, self-business stuff that all the young people do nowadays. I'm 36 & have worked mostly IT & practical jobs, but I really don't think I'd have the sanity to sustain myself with just a laptop & some bits of tech.
Good luck lad 😎

None of the other youtubers is the own bars. Talk about how much Profit the bar makes after expenses.Do you have any knowledge on that and can you make a video about it I ask this because I'm very tempted.But also because there's so much competition.

Hang in there, things will be ok… Fake markets seem to be a bit of a hit. Just look at the fake market / mbk vids Maybe do some fake market content? Night life vids? Street food reviews? Set up ur Instagram , Tik tok, Facebook accounts to get some more traffic to ur KZread channels
I would imagine one could get completely bored from the fine wine diffrent gals and vheap food
Maybe do a video on nasty Thai parasites…. Worms ticks other diseases… mosquito born …nasty snakes and creepy crawlers etc …. People need to know the horror side of vacations… 👍🏼

When I was in Thailand in the 90s I was broke and it aint a good feeling. One of the times I was there tho I had been working in Japan in Tokyo at a nightclub called Gaspanic in Rhapongi district (dont know if these opportunities still exist in Tokyo, at the time I just turned up and went from bar to bar and got a job within a couple days and I had met some English girls who worked as hostesses in Japanesse hostess clubs in Haad Rin, Kho Pan Gang and I crashed with at the place they had in Tokyo when I got there ) and the exchange rate how much I made there was a lot compared to the cost of living in Thailand. So when I arrived back in Thailand a few months later I was rich but after a few months the money started to disappear. Hope you make it mate . The thought of going back to the UK after living the life there sucks to say the least.
