Um, so this is one of our subscribers who came to the farm when we were living at the farm. If you guys remember few years ago, we lived at the farm and one of our subscribers came to visit us and he said, "Oh, we, you know, I just bought some land in Surin." I didn't think anything of it. You know, Serin's a big province. Could be anywhere, you know. And lo and behold, you know, now we live 5 minutes away from each other in the same province in the same like amper like >> district.

[00:09:12]>> So we got to come back at 3.

[00:09:13]>> This is why I don't listen to village gossip. Is it? Everyone loves a gossip.

[00:09:18]>> I was thinking cuz we're in the group.

[00:09:19]We're in the line group. Teacher's not messaged. She's not rang. She's not told me nothing this morning.

[00:09:25]>> And she's rang pretty much every day since they've been in school to let us know things.

[00:09:29]>> So anyway, all said and done now. So let's just go home.

[00:09:33]>> Let's go back home.

She told me nan me nan knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knocked on me door saying you got to go pick the kids up at 12 cuz the teacher got to go to the funeral anyway all right as you noticed we've got our rods again because we're true fishermanmen now the other day we came we didn't film it off camera stuff you know as a nice leisurely activity.

[00:10:12]>> We did film, but we filmed it on the phone cuz we were that caught by surprise.

[00:10:16]>> We didn't bring the camera, but we got a couple of clips. We'll show you. We managed to catch a fish.

[00:10:22]>> Two fish.

[00:10:23]>> Two. Yes. Legit.

[00:10:25]>> And that's all because we've got a secret weapon in this pocket.

[00:10:29]>> So, we're here to try it again and prove to you it wasn't a fluke. So, let's hope we actually catch them again.

[00:10:34]>> We're going to prove that it wasn't a fluke and we're going to catch it again.

[00:10:37]Okay. So, let's go.

[00:10:46]So, this pond here is the pond right next to our house.

[00:10:50]>> We didn't go very far.

[00:10:52]>> No, it's literally a minute around the corner.

[00:10:55]>> And we drove.

[00:10:56]>> Yeah.

[00:10:58]Okay. We got our secret weapon. Little worms that we dug in the garden.

[00:11:03]>> Who knew? We had worms in our garden the whole time.

[00:11:07]I was hanging out the washing, wasn't I?

[00:11:10]And one crawled across in front of me and I ran inside and I was like, "Nah, nah, look." He was like, "What? What?" I was like, "Got worms."

[00:11:17]>> That's a secret weapon right there. If you want to catch a fish, this is how you catch a fish.

[00:11:28]>> Right there.

[00:11:29]>> Yep. That'll do for me. I'll sit here and I'll wait and we'll see who gets one first.

[00:11:36]>> Leave that there. They're out under the tree in the shade.

[00:11:41]>> My float's already gone. Can you hear my rod?

[00:11:45]>> Oh my god. You hear it?

[00:11:47]>> Yeah. I told you it was on my >> fish.

[00:11:51]>> We are fisherman.

[00:12:30]>> Oh my gosh.

[00:12:32]Big catfish. I'm going to fall in with them in a minute.

[00:12:37]>> So, what do I win then? That means I win, is it? I went first.

[00:12:40]>> I didn't even cast my my rod in yet.

[00:12:43]>> I'm that good. Nat's been trying for years. How many times have you seen him try?

[00:12:48]>> I've only been here two minutes.

[00:12:52]Oh, yeah. You're going to go in my spot now. Yeah.

[00:12:54]>> The same spot under the tree.

[00:12:55]>> Yeah. Thought as much.

[00:12:57]>> Not quite under the tree, but >> secret spot. It won't be long. It'll be gone soon.

[00:13:04]I'm a real tired fisherman now. Got the stance and everything.

[00:13:08]>> Sat on the bank. Look, >> just just waiting. That's taking his time. It's been a whole 5 minutes since I caught mine. No action whatsoever.

[00:13:19]>> Look, he's having to recast. Look.

[00:13:21]>> Oh, perfect.

[00:13:23]>> That's the spot. I bet you won't even have time to put your rod down.

[00:13:30]Oh, we have action.

[00:13:33]Oh, >> hear that? The sweet sound of fish.

[00:13:40]>> He's gone all the way over there.

[00:13:43]>> You did take your time to get over that branch.

[00:13:50]>> Oh yeah, we're expert fisherman.

[00:13:52]>> Oh, he's not got the stance quite like me. Look, can't go flatfooted.

[00:14:01]Let's see. Let's see. Oh, >> you juicy.

[00:14:19]>> Zoom into that.

[00:14:20]>> I am zoomed in.

[00:14:22]>> Oh my god.

[00:14:26]I might have to hold this cuz I'll go down there and pull it in. Just keep an eye on it.

[00:14:36]Stay still. Stay still.

[00:14:40]Calm down.

[00:14:46]>> Look at the size of his head.

[00:14:49]>> My one was like that, but my one actually broke off, swam away. We didn't get to this point.

[00:15:10]They're easy enough to unhook these though, aren't they?

[00:15:13]>> Yep.

[00:15:15]>> Oh, I don't even know what I'm feeling.

[00:15:22]>> He's trying to hold it up.

[00:15:24]>> Yeah, >> that is massive.

[00:15:27]>> Yeah, the size of it.

[00:15:30]>> Write in the comments. Tell me I'm not a fisherman now.

[00:15:35]>> Tell me. And that's a fish.

[00:15:38]>> It's a big fish. The size of it.

[00:15:41]>> It's about the length of one of your legs.

[00:17:23]>> Making a lunchable.

[00:17:26]If you're from the UK or America or from the Western world, you know what this is. This is a lunchable right here.

[00:17:33]Hammond and cheese.

[00:17:47]Very good.

[00:17:55]Oh.

[00:20:30]>> Face has gone numb.

[00:20:34]>> He had like probably the equivalent of a bottle of Leo, maybe about a bottle.

[00:20:41]>> But yeah, one day we'll come back. Um, we'll do a whole video here. Maybe >> film his farm. It looks good. He's growing vegetables. He's got fish. It's everything he said he was going to do when he came to ours, isn't it? So, >> it's nice in the middle of nowhere, literally. As you can see, literally, it's just surrounded by field. Look, I'll pan 360 here for you.

[00:21:00]>> It's just It's like surreal that he was the first person that ever came to see us when we moved. We'd probably only been at the farm maybe two months >> and now he's in the same village where Nat's from. It's weird.

[00:21:11]>> Yeah. And his wife is from where I'm from.

[00:21:14]>> Yeah. Crazy, isn't it? We didn't even know that when they came, did we? That >> And we're not even like in terms of years. I think we're about the same age >> as his wife. Yeah. We might have gone to the same school for we know.

[00:21:26]>> You might have known her in your childhood somewhere. Weird, isn't it?

[00:21:30]>> But anyway, we've uh we've had the party here. We've had a couple of drinks. We met the locals.

[00:21:35]>> I don't drink. I need to go sleep to go pick the kids up from school.

[00:21:39]>> All right, let's go.

[00:21:57]Can you smell it today?

[00:21:58]>> Ice cream. Ice cream.

[00:21:59]>> Yeah. Can you smell it?

[00:22:01]>> Normally smell it. Maybe because it's not as hot.

[00:22:03]>> But how good is this though? Outside your doorstep. Ice cream man comes and delivers.

[00:22:08]>> You just hear the little ding ding dingep horn.

[00:22:12]I don't even know if he has a horn or is it a speaker?

[00:22:16]>> Might be a speaker. He's got it all rigged up.

[00:22:21]>> So, I'm getting the Thai specialty. If you never tried this before in Thailand, come and try it. So, ice cream in a bread bun. Ooh, look. Fresh.

[00:22:37]Vanilla.

[00:22:44]>> Is it?

[00:22:49]>> Sticky rice at the bottom, ice cream on the top.

[00:22:53]>> And obviously in Thailand, very hot. As we know, temperature is very hot. So it melts very fast. But the good thing with the bread is it soaks up all the ice cream when it melts.

[00:23:06]>> The condensed milk on top.

[00:23:12]Don't forget the nuts.

[00:23:14]Today you got peanuts.

[00:24:03]>> We heard it. We ran out.

[00:24:05]>> He knows we've got kids and there's a few other kids down the road. So, >> the only problem is the kids have just gone to school, aren't they? So, have to come later or something.

[00:24:13]>> Yeah, they might park outside school someday. We'll see. Okay. Say kunga.

[00:24:17]>> Kung ca.
