Paul is a genuine guy. Love the stories as I just a bit younger and traveled SE Asia there and then. I've been shot twice being a doorman at Amsterdams biggest club. First in 1997 later in 2019 just before corona. Went straight back to North Thailand for easy quite life. But had to go back for surgery, recovering now. Anyways be back soon when found a good tennant for my house here. Thank you Pete. Love your interviewing. No rush and good questions. Cheers mate!

Hehe Paul knows how to tell a story

Brilliant, Paul is back. I've done a couple of KZread videos up country in rural Isan (i'm very novice though). Sounds similar to where I go. So many things resonate with what I always experience, in particular tying to get around the village while avoiding the Laew Kaew....The music being blasted out by number 1 in the village through speakers too, often at 5 or 6am. I am literally the only farrang that goes there. It's quite a spectacle when I arrive. Lol. They are salt of the earth people. Most of the village elders are still using the sun and moon for time, there's no Internet and electric is sparse, certainly at night. It's like the UK 100 years ago. I absolutely love it! Another great interview.

Hehe i like his Thai mannerisms

In my case I tend toss a dart at a map or look for a remote place that the chances of encountering another foreigner is about nil. I kept a journal myself for years when I was wandering so I can certainly relate to Paul. I had to struggle myself for weeks when I first arrived here and I can,t say it was enjoyable but it forced me to learn the basics of speaking Thai. No regrets now looking back it made me a better person and made life here much more easy and enjoyable. Witnessed a lot of weird crap here over the years so can relate to Paul's stories.

Hello Pete, Paul is a very good story teller. He reminds of Orson Wells. I felt sorry for Paul, when he was admiring this woman washing. He was most probably waiting for her sarong to fall, but it did not happen. Paul forgot the saying, "what you can see sometimes it is hard to get." Pete I am looking forward to see the video, where you interviewed Lilly expat. Take care my friend. Love your video's.

wat a great video pete, i like paul stories too

Great down to earth interviews - better than a good movie - its real!!

"No tarmac roads". I remember when there were no tarmac roads in Patong in the early eighties. There was the beach road, which was just a farm track and Bangla Road, which was just rubble and went up to half of it's present length, and that was it.

Where the hell did you dig him up?? Excellent interview and great stories!

I Loved listening to this man story. Only god knows how many more stories he has to tell (like stories about the thai women he met in the 80s,). I would love to know where he ended up staying after a life of travel (I heard outskirts of Bangkok only). Him mentioning about the curious kids in the village touching his body is similar to what I experienced when I took a teaching job in Vietnam in a village 3 hrs away from Ho Chi Minh City in 2017.

I was living in Phuket town in the mid 80's. I often went to Nakon Si Thammarat and Thung Song. I thought some of the most beautiful Thai women I had ever seen were from around that area. The facial features and 'bone structure' of the face was completely different from the girls of Northern Thailand. I presume it was from the years of 'Indian' migration into the Southern Thai provinces and of course Malaysia? I enjoyed the area, beautiful rice fields around Pattalung . Nearest night out for Farangs may have been Songkhla. (Many working offshore for Unocal ). Great memories!

Thanks guys. Amazing to listen to you two talk. I live in Chiang Mai now and listening to your stories reaffirms to me why I moved to Thailand.

I was around southern Thailand as a teen travelling alone in the late 80s. I remember seeing quite a few foreigners around. Nothing like now but it wasn't that unusual.

I think the saying "I've seen it all" really DOES apply to Paul in Thailand. What's he not done or seen? lol I could listen to him all day long.

Жыл бұрын

Haha yeah exactly

Paul's story is very captivating, and he looks like he has been drinking LOTS of Rice Whisky/Lao Kao in his time, bless his heart. About the murder, it brings back a memory when I was a child, living in my old hometown, about a murder. I was quite young then, but old enough to know what's going on. The story is about a class of school teachers from another province came to visit my school teacher neighbor, and they went camping by the river, Pa Sak river to be exact. Anyway, this one young handsome teacher was probably flirting with a young woman from the other side of the river in a village called Song Korn. She was probably has already been spoken for or engaged to some guy from her village already, so, the next morning, the body of that young handsome school teacher was found floating down the river. He has been beaten to death and then thrown into the river. The murderer was never found, but most folks knew who did it. My point to the story is, don't mess with any woman when in the rural area, because some Thai men will kill to defend their honor. I am glad Paul is alive and I am sure he has many more stories to tell. I am glad that he didn't flirt with any rural women, or did he?

Hi, Guys I enjoyed your interview with Paul. Such a fascinating character I could listen to his stories for hours. I was in a situation in Southern Mexico where I got caught up in some dodgy dealings. I will just say it was the import-export business. The boss man held a party in this three-story restaurant and we were on the top floor sitting around a round table. There were 8/10 people partying. From out of nowhere came this guy in a crash helmet he walked up to the boss and shot him twice in the head. His head exploded brain and his skull splattered everywhere including all over me. Pandamonium ensued. Everyone dived under tables I just grabbed my travel partner by the scruff of his collar and dragged him out of the building into our truck and we escaped. My friend could not speak he was in shock but he kept pointing at me. I was covered in the guy's brain. So I stop the truck and on the side of the road stripped and washed myself dumping the clothes and we went on our merry way. Take care. GOD Bless you and yours. M

1stvtime in Thailand. Pattaya tiger park ( zoo ) stood near tiger enclosure. A tiger came to me, looked at me for a minute, them turned around and kissed about 3ft and hit thre side of my face. Do what I did, but hold a bucket ? ....the zoo keepers seen me and offered a towel. Apparently, this was obvious and not uncommon.

Great video of paul again. I will differ with Paul on one thing, I have traveled to many out of the way Asian places for extended periods and they will always give respect to a foreigner if you respectfully refuse the alcohol they offer, including at a mens-only drinking setting. (You are never obliged to drink it). Applies to thailand and other countries i travelled to decades ago.😀

I had a turkey farm on the edge of the jungle in Koh Samui in 92 before that lived with the Issan and Nakkon si Tamarat construction workers in another hut for around a year. First on seen for the air crash near Chaweng before the police or public.

Just wanted to add: Most of the hitmen, gunmen hired for 'business around Thailand' came from Nakon Si Thammarat. It is well known in Thailand as the Gunmen province!

Simple village life but fascinating stories on insights into their culture & thinking Paul’s experience in those days show a kinder & generous side of the villager so different from the stories of the deceitful bargirls villager stories of money grabbing parents & their relatives Paul stories show the good side of the villagers
