00:00:00.000 Less than 1% of those travel bloggers make enough money to travel around the world forever, the rest of you just chat shit and annoy everybody.
00:00:06.000 Andrew's advice was quite eye opening.
00:00:10.000 So I thought to myself, why don't I do a travel blog?
00:00:14.000 1% make it, so good odds.
00:00:21.000 Welcome to Dave's travel blog.
00:00:34.000 Moments of Zen.
00:00:37.000 Zen.
00:00:38.000 It's like spiritual and all that.
00:00:43.000 Or maybe Thai tips.
00:00:47.000 Welcome to Dave's Thai tips.
00:00:53.000 When travelling in Thailand, aka the land of the smiles, you should sort of remember these things.
00:01:00.000 These are my five.
00:01:02.000 Moments of Zen Thai tips.
00:01:05.000 Five Thai tips.
00:01:11.000 Here's a Thai top tip.
00:01:13.000 When in Thailand, the land of the smiles, you know, I like to, I don't like to look like a tourist.
00:01:22.000 Yeah, I like to blend in.
00:01:26.000 Think local, eat local, dress local.
00:01:30.000 So the boys swan around in vests and shorts, you know, nothing.
00:01:33.000 Nothing says tourists like a vest.
00:01:35.000 Alright?
00:01:36.000 I'm just plodding along like this, getting lots of smiles from the smileys, as in he's trying it.
00:01:43.000 He's trying to be one of us.
00:01:46.000 Another top tip, if you do invest in a hat, which I suggest you do, keep the plastic on.
00:01:52.000 It rains quite a lot in Thailand, so thinking local.
00:02:06.000 Chang, add a few, is basically beer and water.
00:02:15.000 So, waiter comes up to you and goes, what do you want?
00:02:20.000 Say Chang.
00:02:22.000 He might say what kind.
00:02:23.000 Just say both.
00:02:25.000 Stay hydrated when you're boozing.
00:02:27.000 Very important.
00:02:32.000 Oh, excuse me, Rick.
00:02:34.000 Thai tip number two.
00:02:36.000 Everything is very cheap.
00:02:39.000 Next to nothing.
00:02:41.000 Honestly, fresh fish.
00:02:46.000 I hope it's fresh.
00:02:49.000 Yeah, food wise, try the seafood.
00:02:52.000 Also, worth your time, extra barbecue flavour.
00:02:59.000 Extra barbecue flavour.
00:03:01.000 Very nice.
00:03:01.000 Probably my new favourite crisp.
00:03:10.000 Everything in Thailand, this is a good tip, is very small.
00:03:15.000 Everything's very, very small.
00:03:16.000 So, the cats, for example, tiny.
00:03:21.000 Also, chocolate bars come like this.
00:03:25.000 That's just a scale, tiny.
00:03:32.000 That's a green tea flavoured Kit Kat.
00:03:41.000 Green.
00:03:47.000 I'd give that one a miss if I were you.
00:03:51.000 Also, if you're a big fan of the chocolate bars, you might want to, I don't know, pack some from England, bring them in, rather than be disappointed when you come out here and they're tiny.
00:03:59.000 Basically, it's so expensive in England just because of the import.
00:04:02.000 Alright?
00:04:03.000 Like genuine Nike cap, Nike, three star.
00:04:09.000 You know, in England this would have cost me, what, 20 quid?
00:04:11.000 Paid the man a tenner for it.
00:04:13.000 So from the cost to my real Raybons, nightcap.
00:04:20.000 What's that?
00:04:22.000 Yeah, just a pair of beats.
00:04:26.000 Just your average pair of beats.
00:04:28.000 Doesn't actually work wirelessly, but they give me a wire.
00:04:31.000 What I didn't know before is that the B on the side doesn't actually stand for beat, it stands for, as you can see in the box.
00:04:41.000 And I said to the geezer, what's going on?
00:04:43.000 These aren't some sort of fakes, are they?
00:04:44.000 And he said, no, the He said the B stands for Bluetooth.
00:04:48.000 And I said, ah.
00:04:50.000 So all this time I've been thinking, look at that geezer wearing his cool beats.
00:04:54.000 Actually, Bluetooths.
00:04:59.000 Tie tip.
00:05:01.000 Freaky, I did see what you were doing.
00:05:08.000 Jupe.
00:05:12.000 The spray is a bit dodgy on this one.
00:05:14.000 It doesn't really spray out.
00:05:15.000 It's like getting caught on the thing, but it's probably just because it's so fresh.
00:05:20.000 you know, bottled at source.
00:05:25.000 Doesn't smell exactly how I remember it, but it's been a few years.
00:05:37.000 Thai tip.
00:05:39.000 Number five, Thailand is full of adventure.
00:05:42.000 You can see elephants.
00:05:44.000 Go on one of those.
00:05:45.000 Look at that player.
00:05:48.000 Me and the taste have been finding out all sorts of adventures.
00:05:50.000 I'm just glad you're doing this in the privacy of your own room.
00:05:55.000 When you're a little bit older, we'll have to talk more about these feelings and what causes them and how we can control these feelings.
00:06:05.000 Good fun.
00:06:06.000 The land of the smiles.
00:06:07.000 Absolutely spot on.
00:06:11.000 Although Andrew hasn't been smiling much, but.
00:06:14.000 I'm sorry I intruded on your privacy.
00:06:15.000 I feel about this morally.
00:06:19.000 Oh, riding of the other.
00:06:20.000 I don't care about the moral side.
00:06:22.000 I don't care about, I'm not afraid of the elephant.
00:06:24.000 I'm not afraid.
00:06:24.000 I just got a habit of not fucking with things bigger than me.
00:06:30.000 Really?
00:06:30.000 Just you know?
00:06:31.000 Ever since dad used to kick our ass. I was generally raised with that level of respect.
00:06:36.000 If I see a tiger, I'm not fucking with the tiger.
00:06:38.000 So it'll probably maybe be in the fight.
00:06:43.000 It's 50-50 for the two.
00:06:47.000 Elephant saying it might be able to take one of my right hands and still live.
00:06:53.000 I'll be sure to knock next time, okay?
00:07:07.000 I've got Margate Mercury.
00:07:08.000 I guarantee this is the first time in history a Margate Mercury has been in Thailand.
00:07:13.000 Almost certainly true.
00:07:15.000 And what's this?
00:07:16.000 Thailand tips.
00:07:18.000 Ah, that's my new travel blog.
00:07:21.000 Beer and water are basically the same thing.
00:07:24.000 I heard what you were saying yesterday about the travel bloggers, and I thought maybe I could be one of those guys.
00:07:33.000 You said, few of them make it.
00:07:35.000 This shows you absolutely.
00:07:36.000 Let me see.
00:07:37.000 Let me show you how fucked up the world is.
00:07:38.000 Shows the complete lack of business sense exists.
00:07:41.000 There's about 150 million I'm gonna guess, that's a complete guess 150 million blogs out there.
00:07:46.000 Probably about less than 0.3% of them make any money.
00:07:50.000 So there's more money in providing the platform for people to blog than there is building yourself.
00:07:55.000 You make more money starting a website that allowed other idiots to blog than you will ever make blogging ever.
00:08:01.000 And on top of that, there's no way on God's green earth I'm gonna pay for you to fly around the world so you can make some bullshit travel blog.
00:08:09.000 Yeah, that's what it's worth.
00:08:12.000 Because it's everything I stand against.
00:08:13.000 In fact, no, I take that back.
00:08:14.000 You can have a travel blog, but I have absolute editorial control over it.
00:08:18.000 I decide what goes in it when.
00:08:19.000 Deal.
00:08:19.000 Deal.
00:08:19.000 I'm glad you're done, Tyler.
00:08:28.000 Brandon the Smiles.
00:08:28.000 Yeah, good luck with the blog.
