Whoa! That rickety thing you rode on was dangerous as all get up. The two black and white close ups of Mina were great! Thanks again, Todd.

Nice atmosphere at the boat race. Walking there past those stalls was nice as well. The plastic waste is another thing though...

[simonnz]

Really enjoy your content mate and love the black & white photos at the end.
I think your daughter is an absolute star, with you and your wife in her life she can truly shine.
Thanks for the great vlogs.

[simonbrown]

I can see a book in your black and white photo
Seriously great art and skill

Sometimes you can't count on the weather, but nevertheless . you managed to watch the boat races. That shot of you Todd riding the rollercoaster with Mina was priceless. Great Video mate
Hope you guys are doing ok.👍❤👍 Jim and Harriet. Richmond, Va.

🤗🙏🏼!
Great video, enjoyed it. Always enjoy seeing miss sunshine, even on a rainy day😊
Take care.

Thanks Todd, another epic vlog! Those long boats certainly get up some speed with all those oars going 19 to the dozen. Mina had the best seat in the tuk tuk travelling back to the car sheltering behind the driver 🙂 Lovely stills again at the end. God bless the three of you 😀❤🙏

[SeanLaney]

I saw the same while I was in Surat Thani and again on Ko Phangan

[geraldtabu-orjr]

[ponbounket]

Thank you for sharing! Love all your videos!

[jinyang]

I'll be there in a week. So excited. Just in time for the festival at the That Luang.

That rollar coaster ride was scary haha.

[nevillelomas]

Hey Todd, you looked a bit out of your comfort zone when on the train ride with Mina.storm spoilt the race day a bit but looked like a good time. Nev.

[BadMedizin]

❤👍👍👍🙏 Boun Lai Heua Fai = Candle light festival, marks the end of Buddhist Lent and to give thanks to the spirits of the river and the beginning of the boat races which chase the evil spirits from the water. TMI? 🧐

[eddiegoh]

You guys are taking great care of Mina..she brings life and sometimes takes away some but on the whole it is rewarding -

[lmapicas]

Looks like the festival is based on the same principle as the Royal Easter show in Sydney....When its pissing down with rain thats when they hold the festival

[Bad_Karma]

Todd great vlog
Loads of fun
I know NeeNee said the water level was low but damn mate that really is low
Liked your free shower did u ? lol 😂

[KavanOBrien]

Certainly different Oxford and Cambridge boat race. Much more fun the one there.

[terranceyeo]

tod i would have thought they would dreg out the river bottom and chuck it on the banks

[billsimpson]

Getting on the "Joy ride" looked like "no joy" to me mate! But still a fantastic video. Cheers👍
