So many people are such idiots. Of course Johnny is not getting rid of Som. How stupid for people to think such a thing. Does anyone think that people embellish things on KZread to make it more entertaining or funny? you do realize that's what comedy is 💯% about ! right? I can get why Johnny wanted Some to learn: > Independence for som ✅🛵 > Saving $,000's of 💵🤑 and apparently this makes Johnny a bad bloke? Fuck the idiots & the morons.

Hey Jonny, good for you and Som! My dad never pushed my mum toward independence and once he was gone she was not able to do the things we find so normal and part of our daily life; driving, paying bills, yard work etc. So later on this is good for the both of you! Congrats!

Riding a motorbike in Hua Hin is fun until the weekend and then you stay on the back roads. Som will have more freedom in her life and more responsibility also.

How much do scooters cost in Thailand? Are you required to have a motorcycle license ?

Hi interested about the scooter. I live in Indonesia (another Aussie). Is it called a scoobie or scoopy. Here they are $2100 aus

Definitely needed to learn who to ride a bike she did,so many advantages. Also the best time to learn while there is less traffic due to the virus,she might not realize that now but you have definitely gave her independence. If you need to go back to Australia or you get sick,she will still be able to get around and take care of day to day things. Some people just need a big push to achieve the desired result,just get her riding everyday and build up her confidence. She will thank you for it later on,plus it will make her son feel happy to have his mom pick him up from school. It’s a win win.

My Thai wife was ok with not driving for awhile, but she is much happier now that she can drive and has the ability to get out on her own from time to time.

Close call there Jonny, but I am sure you both will be ok and ride out this (Beer) virus as Chad says. This isolation is hard for us all but the stats in Thailand are fairly good compared to many other countries, Thailand 43 deceased, Hua Hin 2. Stay safe. Yes Chad does some great Vlogs are very funny guy

Very cool to live there but how do you live .....do you work over there or just had a big bank account

Jonny, I'm happy for her (and you) on one hand and pretty damn scared on the other. Having had my fair share of motorcycles here in the USA, I can't avoid the mental discomfort of knowing that this beautiful creature will eventually take a spill. Yes...it's going to happen, folks...even to the most experienced riders. Watching her ride without pants and shoes (just shorts and sandals) makes that eventual reality that much more cringeworthy to contemplate. TBO (although much more expensive), I would've pushed for her to learn how to drive a car instead. Just my .02...Stay safe!

was that a Mk1 escort in your garage?

It doesn't take much to get one's small family on the right track again, if you don't come up with a good idea for something yourself, it costs a lot of money
