Thailand Island Vacation Realities Exposed [Season 2, Episode 67]

Thailand Island Vacation Realities Exposed [Season 2, Episode 67]

Support us and get cool stuff!

The thought of spending a few days on an island in Thailand sounds about as close to paradise as a westerner can get: blue water, white sand, the works!

But the reality of it is a little different than the picture in your mind, and you might want to adjust your expectations a bit when visiting an island in Thailand.

And speaking of Thailand as a great vacation destination, we really do want to meet you when you come through Bangkok. Please reach out and we'll see if we can get our schedules to align so we can grab a beer, coffee, or even a meal together. We love it!

Of course, we love the listeners who support us with a small financial contribution most of all. People like Jeremy Winterson, an actual race car driver and illegal taxi driver. (One of those statements is true).

If you want to get the show early, get some cool swag, and even have Greg come up with fantastical tales of your life, support us if you can!

And on Love, Loathe, or Leave: long-time expats who still can't pronounce Pattaya correctly. Don't sound like a noob, please?

Thanks for listening. Hit us up on Facebook, Twitter, or LINE with your qwaments, kestians, or whatever you want to share.
