Steve Rosse lived on the Thai island of Phuket from 1990-1997. He wrote a very popular newspaper column during those years, in which he told stories about his life. For twenty-five years Steve lived in America, dreaming every day of coming back to Thailand. He returned in May, 2022, and this channel will document his experiences. His books are available on Amazon.

Hi how's it going. This was my first video of yours after seeing your interviews by the Irish fella. Tell me, someone where the hell is that beach?
Thai Mueang Beach, Phang Nga. Glad you liked the video.
Who is the guitarist in front next to the lead singer. I've seen an extensive interview on KZread with him. He tells the tale of being recruited by the CIA. I think he is your fellow writer? He fell in love with all things Thailand as a young man.
Joe Cummings. He was the original author of the Lonely Planet Guide to Thailand.
I have a 24 year old Thai wife. She has a son and her mom. Her father is dead. I give her 3000 baht each week. I was giving her 4000 each week. I live with her in Satuek Buriram. I want to leave here so bad. I have an 11 year old dog I take care of. So stuck here little longer. Than maybe turtle beach 😅 they are super ungrateful! And she is just mean.
Why didn’t you take the dog home?? It was 17 😢
Why would you need 4 coups of coffee?
Huh? What's a coup of coffee?
lol, I guess that ice hockey rink never did get built. 😀
Congrats on losing the 20 pounds. Great shirt!
Hi mate just reaching out to see how you and your mum are doing.Wishing you all the best from New Zealand.
Thank you. We're well. Same to you from Turtle Beach. I'll be back on YT in September.
Looking forward to that new book....tell your Mom and Amy I say hello from Iowa ❤
Dear Steve , I wonder if you know that now in EU the caps off plastic bottles are attached with a plastic circle to The bottles , so you could not just save the cap only you got to take the entire bottle with cap attached to it ! I was thinking of you over there ….prop maker what would you do if that comes to THailand tomorrow ? I was a prop maker years ago in department store Bloomingdale’s NY I enjoy watching your BLA BLA .
Thank you for watching. I guess I would have to make do with the lighters.
In 87 I was in my Senior year of High School at South Miami HS
Just talk and show the beach and what’s going on in the ocean! Love your videos
Nice lizard on the wall at 10:35 behind your head near the ceiling
His name's Bob.
Steve I really like your videos and I am a solid fan . This August I hope to travel through your way and smoke one with you and say hi . Ironically I applied for my 60 day visa about 5 days before the exemption kicked in 😂. Learning process . Be cool to learn a few things from you too sir . Hope it all lines up …. TTYL ✌️
Is the water conditioned
@@noahsartandphotographing5346 I used to rest tap water for 24 hours.
Steve,go in peace dear friend, enjoy , eat well, stay healthy,you are an inspiration, best regards from Oz,
@@christophertiffany8395 Thank you. Back atcha.
Where have you disappeared to Steve ?
@@scamperstephen4811 My new channel is called “Beachcombing on Turtle Beach.
@@steverosse ok thanks
❤
More weekly shows please ! We miss you😪
@@eddenoy321 Thanks. I’ll come back to Grumpy Old Men in September if Tim invites me.
@@steverosse What about your own weekly shows ? They were quite unique and entertaining , Steve. Did you stop ?
@@eddenoy321 I have a new channel called Beachcombing on Turtle Beach.
@@steverosse Damn ! Did you tell your subscribers that ? Subbed just now.
Hi Steve Hope your enjoying time with your family and they are having an amazing time. Just thought I would reach out to you. I remember your chat about the 1978 situation. I was out and about yesterday in Bankgok and came across a monument for the revolution. Would you like the photos I took? Looking forward to your return. Missing your content and weekly joke. Take care Wutt
@@Thailandmorethanabeach Thanks, no photos but I am happy you liked the show. You made my day.
Hey Steve, Always good to hear your PFTB ! Just a few comments. (1) you hate to drive and you say all Thai drivers are assholes. Well, my wife lives in a remote village outside of Rattanaburi (120 km north and east of Burri Ram). When we visit, the family always wants me to drive. I am initially challenged by driving on the left side of the road (we live in the US). But, for the most part, I find Thai drivers efficient and sometimes courteous. (2) Nescafe-I agree with you. So before we visit the village I always buy good coffee in BKK. (3) Noise- in the remote village they have a loud speaker that sometimes plays music, sometimes has announcements. I ask my wife "who decides what is announced?" Her response "Big Boss"
Looks amazing ! Where is turtle beach ? Just north of Phuket ? Love your videos man ! You remind me a lot of my grandfather ! Respect !
Thank you. Yes, Turtle Beach is just north of Phuket. It's name in Thai is Thai Mueang.
Yo Steve!... is there a rule as to how many ladyboys you can do at once?...
Yo Steve!... I heard a rumor that them yellow nookies do it sideways... any truth to that?...
Any encounters with bar girls on Phuket?... did you kill 2 birds with 1 stone?... I hope you didn't leave with a little souvenir like yours truly did... there was lots on penicillin in my future...
So could you please put up the lyrics to that song?... especially the boo-dop-be-doo-dop part or whatever it is... I'm writing a book and I need to put that in it... the singer's voice sounds like some ladyboy that robbed me a few years ago...
Steve - you ain't gonna like it - broccoli back on the banned narcotics list. Turtle Beach honeymoon over ??!!
I was smoking weed in Thailand thirty years ago and I'll be smoking it here until I die.
Steve, Wish a person could hit the like button more than once. Since you are taking a little break, couple months off, I figured, I would rewatch all of your previous videos. This is definitely one of my favorites. Thank You
Thank you, Tim. I like it, too. I'll be back on GOM in September, and until then I'll keep making videos every month for my Beachcombing on Turtle Beach channel. Thanks again for your kind thoughts.
Grammar Nazi old monger 😂 Kudos to you Steve
Love all the artwork and great way to recycle and repurpose some of the trash 👍🏻
Hello Steve, my attorney did not tell me that I should or should not. He just gave me information that would be detrimental to the monarchy. As long as I show no disrespect or any bad intentions, my name should not be a problem.
Mad dogs and English men go out in the midday sun, my friend ,
This should be a major network show. The cigarette shot with the Liberia line really got me.
Thank you. The Boontong's videos were a labor of love, but they never found an audience. Then I remembered I'm retired and I got lazy. Oh well.
First, the de rigueur Buddha above the bar is a fine touch. Nit in the mirror is a superb shot, too. Changing Nit to a dinosaur is my favorite moment.
Night and God bless, keep the faith, and enjoy living your dream, Steve x
Thank you, David.
Oh I just love to see a guy walk out of his house dont even shut the doors... This is a sign of a good life 😊
Well, to be fair, I wasn't going to be out of sight of my house. If I'm going to be gone for a while, shopping or whatever, I do shut and lock my doors. But probably more out of habit than necessity. Everybody knows me here, and my neighbors would take note of anybody strange coming or going from my home. And I would take note of any suspicious activity at their houses. And of course, my house is full of trash. Other than my bicycle or my computer there's nothing here to steal.
Just subscribe trough thairish times. Looking forward to viewing your channel
I've had hernia surgeries. Both inguinal and umbilical. Get it done, it's worth it. Just make sure you have a good surgeon and don't do anything stupid in the recovery phase. When I first came to Thailand in February I hung out with some bar girls. I enjoyed my time with them and understood them pretty well. I thought. I knew it was transactional and I was okay with that. I had fun. I spent some money not much and 2 weeks later I was back in the US. Now, I'm back in Thailand. Almost a month now. I met a girl on Thai friendly while back in the US and been talking to her since I was in Thailand in February. Lol. I'm not going to say she's different because that would be so cliche however, she's not a bar girl but a school teacher. 23 years younger than me. Has a 9-year-old daughter. An ex-husband whom I have met, who's remarried with another child. Is she different, yes. But different than what? She's still female. Just because a woman is from Thailand, or the US, or France, they still are female. And there are certain traits of females mental traits I guess You would say , that is indigenous to them all. They want to be taken care of, and they want to Guy that can take care of them. They want you to be a protector, a provider, a good and understanding listener, and they want you to let them get away with whatever they want to get away with. At 66, I'm looking in my '50s. Oh physically, I still feel 66, but I do look pretty good for my age. I guess. I'm not rich but I have a little bit of money. Not interested in chasing a bunch of girls around. I like the idea of having one and even though we don't live together full-time because she works Monday to Friday, there is that possibility in the future. I've spent some money on her which would rather me just give her the money but I'm not going to do that. Not yet anyway. When we're together I'm in love. I have a great time with it. When apart are more rationale. And then videos like this creep into my head, and I wonder. Arnold Schwarzenegger in his book be useful, talks about not having a plan B. He states that plan b is for losers and losing. To put everything you have into plan A. I like that. So that's what I'm going with. Could I get hurt? Of course. Could I win the jackpot, I have a woman that really cares about me and I care about her in a place like Thailand? Yes. Truth is I'm too old and too jaded to search the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of possibilities that exist in this country and the surrounding countries trying to find a needle in a haystack. And yet I don't want to be like many farangs that I pass on a daily basis, sitting in the bar at 11:00 a.m., getting drunk on cheap beer, with no real prospects in life other than to watch others walk by, being in a slight alcoholic daze.... Yeah that's not me. One day I might visit you in turtle Beach but if I do I will know to bring my own coffee, not invite myself in but just sit outside, enjoy a brief visit and then check out the beach. Or not. I do enjoy your videos though.
Enjoyed listening to your stories!
Thank you!
Wonderful sets. I came here after Grumpy Old Men episode #65.
Thanks!
Okay this is just plain awful. I cannot believe this. Try getting locked in a closet your whole life with carpet, a plant and a stone statue!! It would suck. I accidentally deleted my other comment so I’ll say it again, bettas need a 5 gallon tank at least, NOT this awful, cheap bowl. This of a living creature not a decoration. I’m definitely gonna dislike this video as this is abuse. These animals are suffering in here!!!!! THIS IS NOT “just a fish” this is a living animal! Awful
It was just a fish, and it died in 2020. Relax, Quixote, you've picked the wrong windmill.
RIP Steve...read that you passed away on a thai forum. at least you got a couple of good years in thailand
"The news of my death has been greatly exaggerated." But it's pleasing to know that when it happens, my leaving will be noted.
Which forum? Got a link?
My bad….should not l believe everything on the internet ;)
@@johnpaul8293 You never know. Right now the wind is coming off the Andaman Sea like a freight train, shaking my roof and doors. The rumor could be true by morning.
@@steverosseHey how about you make a new vid
Enjoy your break.. and enjoy your mother.. they're not here forever..so cherish the moment.. personally I think you have some interesting insights into life in Thailand albeit from a different perspective from myself but, I hope you pop back into the KZread sphere in the future.. all the best, cheers.
Hmmmmm. I kept a betta in a 2 gallon jar that was HEAVILY planted and he did amazing in there. I imagine you can do the same with one of these bowls, but it needs to be HEAVILY planted too and the righr setup, and with frequent water changes.
Hahaha... 555 Steve, you forgot that I also was on the first Burma Cruise. While it is true that the Swiss lady was panicking, she also saved the situation by donating the Sigarettes! And I remember 2 guys in a leaking dugout canoe that one had to empty of water while the other held on to an old rifle and a paddle at the same time! I doubt we risked an international incident but it was a nice discovery trip! I saw Myriam less than a month ago in Lugano as we stayed friends since that adventure and I'm sharing your story. Cheers!
So what do folks in Iowa do for fun?... Watch the grass grow?...
You are living well on just your social security....whats rent like in the South?
I live right on the beach and pay 6,000 baht per month. Of course, in Phuket this view would cost you a million dollars. "The South" is a big place; I'm sure the cheapest rents would be near the border. But you'd spend extra on patching bullet holes in your windows, so it all evens out.
how are you stay nice to meet you❤❤❤❤
how are you steve nice to meet you❤❤❤❤
