I enjoyed this vlog and your storytelling abilities!

Great stories Lloyd and both helpful and entertaining mate! We share some many very similar travel screw ups, so nice to know I am not alone! On a bike riding from the mountains outside of Chang Mai in Thailand and came across a guy lying in the middle of a highway road with his bike 10 meters up the road. We stop to help, wave down traffic from the middle of the road, I picked up a piece of plastic from the road near him, my partner quickly removed his bike from the road and I eventually woke him from being semi unconscious and got him to the side of the road. No English and he was really hurt. A BMW pulls up and they talk with the man. They talk for 5 minutes and the hurt guy seems to be getting angry and looking at us. It was then I realised he was blaming us for knocking him off his bike. No english. Police soon arrive and for 45 minutes still no English, we are looking like spending our first night in a Thai prison. My partner who was angry for being blamed and scared pulled the arm of a police office to our bike showing no scratches or damage. Then it clicked. The piece of plastic I picked up wasn’t from his bike but the car that had actually hit him. I grabbed my lonely planet book on Thailand and went to the word “car” in the translation index (yes this was life before the internet) and showed him the piece of plastic and pointed to the word. Police officer 1 talks to police office 2 and then the guy that was hurt! First English words were “sorry you can go now” Chang Mai in under 20 mins with flights booked within the next 2 hours back to Bangkok! Sorry had to share!

Thank you for sharing info and your honesty. Sorry to hear these situations happened and so impressed how you guys got out of it all with so much optimism anyway. Take care of yourself and wishing you all the very best for future adventures 🍀

I got a parasite in Bali and felt like absolute crap the entire time there and got rid of it when back in America. I didn’t know I had a parasite I never had one before and thought it was just me adjusting to tropical climate.

Ah man, we can’t imagine how you all felt with those guys outside your villa, it’s makes me so sad people revert to such anger and vile ways when things could of been so easily fixed without any of that.
So glad you sorted it. Safe travels guys

[heathersullivan]

Wow that last story was so scary. I’m so glad your mother is ok. That could have easily turned into something else. Thank you for sharing. I am interested in the Vasco. It’s expensive though. Not in my budget, but maybe a Black Friday thing? Anyway I’m so glad you made this video. Super informative. I hope Mandy is up and feeling better soon. Love to you both, and of course you are in my prayers. ❤😊

[RachaelH]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! It's not easy to share these things - I've watched from the very beginning and I love you guys so much more for this video & the most recent videos ❤ you both will make the best parents because of your experiences!! Everything's a positive when you learn from your mistakes 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 🇦🇺 big love to both of you, from Aus xx

[martinsaunders]

Thanks, Lloyd and Mandy for sharing your stories. Traveling can be.
Challenging, sometimes, as you have explained. Just have to be careful. As best we all can.🙏😊✈️ take care always

[BensonRichardE]

Loved this video. Really interesting and plenty of lessons to learn, especially on health. Cheers Lloyd!

[rashadaljunied]

Agreed with the dengue fever. Worst fever you can get, rashes, cant't walk. i got hallucinations some nights

[rosstravels.official]

Wow what a video! It’s crazy because when you mentioned a few of these stories I was like “oh yeaaaa! I remember that! Ooo I remember this!” The story of booking the hotels and it not existing and then having to sit in another hotel for hours on end, was absolutely wild and I felt awful for you guys. And of course, the last story, that’s absolutely insane and scary and rather sad with the security. They literally did the opposite of what they should’ve done, supposed to kick them out and they literally let them in like…were they expecting you guys to host tea and crumpets in the middle of the night?🤦🏽‍♂️ Glad everyone is ok but wow oh wow!

[CBgcfj]

So sorry for all the mishaps especially the last one. Yes health is far more important than wealth. Take care. Hope you feel better soon Mandy.

Interesting story. At my air bnb in Ha Hin and Chiang Mai I found that they would only come to clean etc, if I stayed around.

[bluestarfishsea]

Nice video Lloyd. Way to take care of business and allow Mandy to rest up

[elsienorback]

Yeah, March is still very cold in Canada and Alaska as well. It doesn’t really get warm until May. Lol.

[Mr.DJones]

Thank you for your time and posting. Thanks for the information about the train ride. I was going to do the entire distance, but now, nope (I'm 6'2"/1.88 m) But I will travel small distances, stay in that town for a couple of days, then move on.

[lisalocke]

Yes very good point, a mistake vs positive. We appreciate all your transparency. Stay and be well✌️

[hugotapisu]

To make a great videos and that you two given a lot of sacrified times of your own.🎉❤ Cheers🎉🎉

[DaniM]

Yes! We did the same train trip in Vietnam and underestimated how long it was, we ended up getting off in Da Nang and catching a plane to Ho Chi Min!! So far and not comfortable ugh.

The last story about Bali does not surprise me at all. I loved and treated Bali as my second home for 30 years, but the underbelly is horrific as I was to find out.
