    1. Hi Tim!

      Great show, reference Thai Property.

      In my view over priced, poor build quality and over supply.
      Even rents are to expensive in places such as Phuket, I know supply and demand, i think this "demand" is massively bigged up. If not, why is there so much available and has been for a long, long time. I myself put a bid in on a rental condo, that had been available since last September. Advertised at 12000 thb, i offered 7500thb. Still vacant. Unjustifiable high expectations.😊

    2. I wonder if the demonetization of yesterdays video could have been from the "p word"… Didn't you say p0t once, although in a different meaning? I always follow your show in the mornings, Tim. Great content!

    3. They will probably cancel Pita for defunct media shares, while the Army OWNS Tv and radio stations and the government has run radio stations including FM 95 for years at Mcot in Rachada Bangkok pumping out their soft propaganda.

    4. I think the contract killer has a lot of information about all kinds of crimes, the Thai government might extract that information that the Canadian authorities wouldn’t try to get, maybe they were afraid someone else would put him to sleep permanently before they can interrogate him

    5. The same thing happened to me recently with my Honda Jazz in Oz. The driver side window burst into pieces without reason, very odd indeed

    6. The show gets better and better, but Tim's button up shirts get worse and worse! Only joking Tim, I enjoy the show everyday.

    7. Nice shirt Tim, it matches the vase. One thing I’d like to elaborate on, you mentioned it’s not a good time to buy property. However, you posted that you and your partner bought a hotel that’s in repair. Doesn’t make sense to me!

    8. Tim, obviously a secret cabal of broccoli farmers – let's call them the Broccoluminati – are out to cancel you.

    9. Thank you 🙏 very much Tim
      Thanks 🙏 to you I know how Broccoli 🥦 is dangerous to the pubic health 😂
      Why aren’t you using "Happy Plant" like Jett Gunther does? 😂
      Btw I think you can’t put the Genius back into the bottle but let’s see what the future will bring to the Happy Plant in Thailand 🇹🇭 😅

    10. The first thing I do everyday when I get on Youtube is looking for your new video. How did I miss this one? lol Hitting the bell now 🔔

    11. what if you live here full time, still not a good idea to buy your own condo ? what should I invest money in ? the bank giving 1%…
