The REAL Danger of Living in Rural Thailand

This was filmed with permission. Donations were made to the temple and community. Alcohol is shown only outside temple grounds. I have the deepest respect for the community for allowing me to share this merit-making day. My own flaws are the joke here. I love this place and everyone in it. I am also taking a break from alcohol after making this video. 🇬🇧 ❤️ 🇹🇭 What are the real dangers of living in rural Thailand? When people think about moving to the Land of Smiles, especially to a quiet farm in Isaan, they often worry about snakes, scorpions, or even the notorious Thai roads. While those are valid concerns, this video explores a far more insidious danger, one that's woven into the fabric of the life and greets you with a smile. Join me on what starts as a perfect day on our homestead, selling fish to the village for a local festival. What begins as a simple transaction quickly spirals into a lack of self-control under the guise of social obligation. This is the story of how quickly the expat dream can be derailed by the powerful culture of social drinking. We'll look at the subtle pressures, the rationalizations, and the slippery slope from "just one drink" to a full-blown party, a wicked hangover at a sacred temple ceremony, and the realization that you've lost control. This isn't about blaming anyone; it's a personal story about the struggle to find balance when living in a culture so different from your own. I haven't had a drink since filming this 4 days and I plan to continue for a while.
