Thailand Travel, EPIC Mountain Wind Farm Paradise!
Angun and I decided to take an unplanned trip to the Khao Kho Mountain wind farm, knowing only a few friends were there and recommended it. It is located directly north of Khon Kaen, in Northern Thailand and about the same latitude as Udon Thani, so it’s creeping up on Laos.
When you arrive you will be greeted with an incredible and surreal view of a local market and GIANT windmills around you. This location really is Thailand travel at it's best. I recommend saving shopping for last as you won’t want to carry around a lot. Keep your selfie hands free and get ready for incredible photos. The main part of the farm requires a small 10 baht ($.031) entrance fee and this allows you to get out of the market area and to the edge of the hill where you will find generous numerous of beautiful flowers and plants.
There are at least two coffee shops within the farm that serve acceptable coffee. However; don’t worry. In the slight chill of the mountain air and with the picturesque atmosphere, it tastes great. I would recommend eating either before or after you go because as of this writing, most of the good food options seem to be in the towns below the hill where this is located.
As far as shopping, we found plenty of Strawberry products such as syrups, juices, and jams. They likely have fresh strawberries seasonally but not during our visit. They have a wide variety of fresh produce and one item that was unexpected for us was Avocados. We bought two kilos for 60 baht/kilo (about $2) per kilo and they were fantastic. You can buy wooden windmills and a variety of inexpensive wind toys. If you look carefully, you can find some good quality trinkets worthy of your home trip or that make good gifts for local friends and those back home who you wish to show off your Thailand travels.
There is local open bus transportation to take you to different areas of the farm and that is a convenient (and safe) way to move around the farm or just to sit for a while.
I have to take a moment to discuss the drive for your safety. I would rate the difficulty of the road at a 6/10 under normal conditions. The same warning goes for the related temple location. I couldn't vlog most of the driving there because, with my manual transmission and steep hill, my hands were full. The drive there was scenic and beautiful, but the last mountain is NOT good for new drivers. There are areas with no guard rails that would be difficult to survive a slip or going over too far to let by oncoming traffic. Also, this is NOT a good place when roads are wet. I honestly hope they close the road during bad weather, but I wouldn't count on it. You can clearly see the dirt roads have deep veins, showing where water will rush. Combined with steep angles to drive, please don’t risk it. It’s not worth your life, no matter what the locals say. Also, you will have to drive around crowds of people on what resembles a slightly wide sidewalk.
I think outside of Chiang Mai, this is one of the nicer day trips you can take. I think of the many Thailand travel destinations, this has to be one of the best for vlogging and photography. So, come prepared to take or be in photos. Or, get one of many resort options and take an extra day to visit the Wat Phra That Pha Sorn Kaew temple.
I hope you have a wonderful Thailand travel experience and that video helps you plan your trip or share in ours.

Celebrating Thailand Mother's Day with my Thai Family
I often get asked what it's like to be an American in a Thai family. Being in a Thai family as a foreigner takes some adjustment but like most things in Thailand, having a Thai family is a very rich and rewarding experience. As I have moved from being a Thai tourist to a business owner and husband to a Thai wife, each day has been an adventure as I learn Thailand's culture. I never lived in America 60 years ago, I'm only 40, but Thailand reminds me of how my father described America when he was a kid in all the best ways.
If you are considering a Thai wife or family, learn through my experience what being a husband and son-in-law in Thailand is like.
This video also shows what Thailand is like in 2020, this is August.
What's it like being an American with a Thai family? Watch and find out. Please subscribe so you can be notified of new episodes!
Also, enjoy as I take Angun for some nightlife at a beautiful restaurant in a nearby small village called Montra. We eat wonderful Thai food at the restaurant in the rain with a remarkable background.

Thailand Travel, Giant Pyramid Temple HIGH in the Mountains!
Rarely Seen by Foreigner! Thai WIFE shows TEMPLE in the CLOUDS. Thailand Travel Vlog 2020 EXTENDED
Phu Thap Buek is my new, current favorite place to travel in Thailand.
This is the one hour Extended edition! For the short version, click here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hj2mFUsh8A
Living in Thailand as an American is always a travel adventure. However; Phu Thap Buek was one of the absolute best travel experiences in Thailand. In my opinion, this is the most awesome Thailand Travel destination ever in 2020.
The location on Google Maps is below and this may be one of the top 10 spots in Asia, period. We are north of Chum Phae, Thailand by 2.5 hours and we met people who traveled 8 HOURS from Chiang Mai to see this. Thai Travel Vlog 2020, this is a great year to be exploring as there are few foreign tourists and a very pure experience is available. A Thai Monk let us in to explore even though the temple was closed for the day.
Being an American in Thailand in 2020 has never been better. Robert and Grapes headed to a place rarely seen by a foreigner, Wat Pa Phu Thap Boek Temple is my NEW Favorite Travel Destination. Be prepared to be amazed as my Thailand wife shows me a Temple in the clouds in North Thailand. I just returned from this trip today, June 2nd 2020 and I VLOGGED the entire trip. Don't take my word for it, this is not hype. This place is epic! Located in the Lom Kao province.
I hope you enjoy the best video I have taken with my Drone Thailand.
Enjoy what may be our best video yet.. and subscribe. We are trying hard to hit 1000 subscribers. Please share this with your friends. Learn what it is like to be an American in Thailand or a foreigner in general.

Where do Thai people travel in Thailand? Let's go.
As an American I love to go on Vacation where the Thai people go. Having been in Thailand 3 years, I feel like Asian's have all the fun. In America, I had a great time but I also never knew what I was missing. Travel in Thailand is so much fun, especially at the local Thailand destinations. Today we traveled to Chaiyaphum Thailand, to a mountain travel tourist destination. Also to see the Stone Henge of Thailand.
In 2020, Thailand is the place to be, with no restrictions and whatever conspiracy has affected the rest of the world must not have thought Thailand was worth the time. Great!

When I came for a 3-month travel trip to Thailand, I never knew that nearly 3 years later I still have not returned to America. I am having too much fun with my new wife, business (nail shop) and exploring great travel destinations!
Come with us to one of the most beautiful Thailand Temples in the country, beautiful hotels and eat great Thai food with us.
People often ask me, is it safe to live in Thailand in 2020? My answer is most definitely, yes! We hope you enjoy this Thai travel adventure taken July 31, 2020!

Khon Kaen Thailand Temple Tour, 2020. Secret Passage!
Thailand Travel with American and Thai Wife in 2020. MONKS Showed SECRET PASSAGE & Shopping!
My Thai Wife (Angun) Grapes and I had an EPIC Thailand Travel experience today. We visited an Amazing Thai Temple and the Monks showed us a secret passage. I never knew they even existed and it was incredible. Shopping is back in full swing! We traveled to the city of Khon Kaen and visited the Ton Tann Market. We bought so much Thai food that we could never hope to finish it all.
Today my Thai wife Angun (Grapes) and I visited the Tham Pha Koeng temple located here:
Google Maps: วัดถ้ำผาเกิ้ง
Nai Mueang, Wiang Kao District, Khon Kaen 40150
https://goo.gl/maps/GjvhgVwP755iTniB9
Robert and Grapes had a magical time with the woman monks. This temple also acts as a women's shelter which gives it an extra special purpose and feeling. Many wonder what travel in Thailand is like in 2020. I hope this video sheds some light as tourism is set to start in a limited fashion in July and ramp up from there. We are excited to show you the secret parts of the temple never filmed before.
After, it was the perfect time for Robert and Grapes to go to the Ton Tann market in Khon Kaen which is freshly re-opened and really doing great in June 2020. We expect this will continue to be a great travel destination in Khon Kaen and Northern Thailand. Visiting Khon Kaen gives you the luxuries of a big city with a fraction of the hassle and stress of Bangkok. As of July, 2020 some Thailand international tourists are on the way and more will open soon.
Google Maps Link: Ton Taan Market (opens at 5pm-9:30 but we recommend going after dark for maximum beauty and open shops).

My first Wild Elephant Sighting! American living in Thailand 2021
I am often asked, what is it like to be an American living in Thailand? Living in Thailand as a digital nomad and foreigner in Thailand, among the Thai people has been a constant travel adventure and challenge. Living in Thailand as an American in 2020 is even more of an adventure, because like everywhere else, life in Thailand in 2020 is harder. Fortunately, although I am a foreigner in Thailand, I have a great Thai wife, Grapes to help me.
Today, after 3 years of looking, we had our first Thai wild elephant encounter. We had a magical day with my Thai family as well.
We work hard to vlog and show you real experiences about the lifestyle of traveling in Thailand and also what Digital nomad life is really like, especially when you start to settle down and start building a life and business in a foreign country like Thailand. We hope these insights, seeing the Thai food shows you what it’s like to live abroad. There are many options outside Pattaya, Chiang Mai, and Bangkok. I love north-central Thailand and the Khon Kaen area. My advice is to spend time traveling to each Thai city to find your own Asian paradise.
Please join us in our Thai travel adventure and thank you for subscribing!

Today, Grapes and I traveled to Wat Tham Saeng Tham or, the temple in Saeng Tham Cave (วัดถ้ำแสงธรรม).
https://goo.gl/maps/1jNgxLA7qVa9HoRU9
This is an incredible Thailand Travel destination, but it's almost exclusively locals that come here and this has to be one of the best travel destinations in Thailand.
People here are incredibly friendly and were so nice to me as an American expat in Thailand as well. My Thai wife Grapes (Angun) had never been to this beautiful temple travel destination before. She was amazed. So, come to travel and enjoy the trip with us!

Chiang Khan Thailand Travel, Skywalk and Market 2020
Most foreigners never visit these places in Thailand. We are excited to take you to our next travel destination in our "Unseen Thailand" tour. Being an American with a Thai wife is never boring and Grapes had a great idea for our travel destinations today. We always try to bring you the latest Thailand Travel News by showing you what travel is like in 2020 by actually getting out and showing you.
The best way to experience Thailand is to get away from the other foreigners and visit the Local Thai travel destinations and that is what we did in this Thailand travel vlog. So, consider this a Thailand travel update and that things are returning to normal, especially for tourism in Northern Thailand.
Today join Robert and Grapes for a Thai travel destination normally visited by local tourists only. In the Loei province, Chiang Khan Thailand is a hidden gem! Travel with us and you will see why. Chiang Khan Skywalk is one of the most amazing Thailand travel locations we have ever seen. It's breathtaking. The Chiang Khan Market is back in 2020! The market is as good and amazing as ever. I call it the New Orleans of Asia and it's 1/4 Kilometer of the most amazing Thai Food, interesting shopping and beautiful Inns in Asia.
I even ate some insects for the first time!
We hope you enjoy this video "Most Foreigners NEVER visit these places in Thailand".

Khon Kaen, Thailand Spicy Food Exploration
Thank you so much for watching "Living in Thailand, A Night out with my Thai wife 2020". Grapes and I spend most of our nights and days working and sometimes we just need to get out for a change of scenery. What's it like living as an American in Thailand in 2020? Well, if you are me, it means working a.... lot. So, we drove 1.5 hours to Khon Kaen Thailand because, frankly, my Thai wife, Grapes really deserved a night out, which for us means, finding some great Thai cuisine. Ok, I'll be honest. We actually were heading to McDonalds which is a delicacy here for me. But, we couldn't pass up
We stumbled upon a place that Grapes recognized from a Joel Brunner, by the way, if you enjoy this, you may really enjoy his channel as well:

What it's like to Live in Thailand as an American with Thai Wife in 2020
Since I have started bringing my camera as my Thai wife, Angun and I take regular day trips, I have realized I have an incredible life in Thailand. As an American living in Thailand for over two years now, people have been incredibly nice and I feel like I live such a full life as a foreigner here.
Earlier, this year, in 2020, I started vlogging about my experience with a Thai wife and as a business owner in Thailand. Living in Thailand is not without challenges but overall I feel safer and like I can live a very fulfilling life here. I hope this VLOG shows it's like to Live in Thailand as an American in 2020!

What's it like to Build a Farm in Thailand? Thai Rural Life in 2020
What's it like to Build a Farm in Thailand? Thai Rural Life in 2020 is alive and well. To many, it's also very appealing, especially if you throw in an air conditioner. A Farm in Thailand can ve very productive and make you self sufficient with nearly anything you can need.
Our new American friend and his Thai wife are building a beautiful life in Thailand as they prepare to move. Today, we were invited to see their progress and we had a great experience. This was meant to simply be a video for Michael who is working hard in America and unable to attend. However; we had such a great visit that I had to share it with you.
Building a great life in Thailand is still very possible for foreigners and there are great options. Thailand Travel in 2020. Thailand Retirement cost of living in 2020 is still very affordable, especially as you head outside the main cities.
