Dan About Thailand
Dan delivers weekly vlogs from his travels throughout Thailand, covering topics from travel advice and expat life. His videos unveil the curtain into the authentic world of a young family living and working in Thailand. His blogs and vlogs started out as a hobby of recording his travels, but have progressed into a sideline job. The quality and presentation in his videos are excellent, which have earned Dan respect among Thailand’s vloggers.
Jonny There Is Something Happening
Always fun and energetic, Jonny started his Thailand vlog journey in 2016.
Born in New Zealand, he grew up in Australia’s Gold Coast until an early retirement at an age of 32 when he moved to Thailand, after selling his successful boat detail and fiberglass repair business.
I could’ve stayed on and worked my guts out until I was 50, but what for? I can’t see the point of working for 50 or 60 years of age and dying in ten years after. What kind of life is that?

Pattaya Pariah
As the name suggests, Pattaya Pariah is another vlog channel from the streets of Pattaya. Inspired by authors such as Charles Bukowski, Clive James and the black comedy of Jack Rosenthal, his videos are a series stylized in the genre of dirty realism and transgressive fiction. Often rebellious and even nihilistic, Pattaya Pariah’s calming voice is pondering and mindboggling to follow, analyzing the world from a fascinating intellectual angle.

Luckily for all of us, watching his videos offers a fairly similar experience.
