  • คริส ในฐานะคนไทยที่อายุใกล้ๆกับคุณ ผมอยากบอกว่า ในบรรดาช่องชาวต่างชาติ ช่องของคุณเป็นอันดับ1 สำหรับผม ผมได้ติดตามคุณมานาน และได้เห็นคุณทำอะไรหลายๆอย่างเพื่อคนไทยและสังคมไทย ผมต้องขอขอบคุณมากๆ และจะเป็นกำลังใจให้คุณเสมอไป 🥰🥰🥰
  • I won't say that 'your videos got me to move to Thailand,' but I WILL say that your videos did make moving here a LOT easier to make happen once I did. And I thank you for that.

    Wishing you and your lovely wife a smooth move to Samui. You guys touched many lives with your videos, especially the Christmas celebration at the orphanage's and special schools and the food drives you helped organize during Covid. Thanks for all the joy, educational, and entertaining videos. Cheers.
  • Even a sit and talk is enjoyable - thank you for everything.
  • @ThaiStyle
    เป็นกำลังใจให้เสมอครับ 💛
  • Chris, you were one of the few YouTubers I watched that made me decide to visit Bangkok and Thailand. I live in the Philippines but really want to make Bangkok a home too at least part of the year. I thank you for your videos, your time, your dedication, and your undying love of Thailand.
  • Chris, my family and I are big fans. I'm an expat in my late 20s who moved here solo and works in Bangkok now. I was recently visiting my family and we watched your last video "A Thailand Story You Need To Hear"- it was by far our favorite video of yours. We discussed how documentary style videos really suit you- and how amazing it was that you put an amazing story of hope in the spotlight. With your platform and love of Thailand, you could do a lot of great work here helping out those who need it most.
  • Thanks Chris for the update - you have been missed. Make videos that provide you with joy and love! No matter what, I will be watching. Can't wait to see the moving to Koh Samui video. What a beautiful place. All the best.
  • I want to say the best video you ever made in my opinion you weren’t even in. It was the video where you followed the journey of the young teacher as she went up to the remote village where she teachs. You showed the struggles of her life that she faced with determination and a wonderful sense of humour. When i saw the new building that a charity had supplied for her to stay in compared to the old building she shared with rats and snakes there were tears in my eyes. I thought it excellent of you to take a back seat and let the story tell itself. Perhaps you could use this channel to have people who don’t have the subscribers to supply you wonderful videos along the same line. You of course would decide the suitability but it would be fantastic to see more videos like that, than another condo pricing story, not that those aren’t useful.

    I thank you for all the videos you have posted in the past. They were VERY informative and fun to watch. I understand that YOU are also retired and probably need a break from video posting, too. 😊 Time for YOU TO ENJOY RETIREMENT also. We only have so many trips around the sun, as you say.... So if you see something along the way worth passing along, then by all means! Thank you 😊😊😊

    You come back stronger. Take care for your life. Grettings from Norway.
  • My partner and I absolutely love your videos. You’re funny and informative and what you’re presenting feels incredibly genuine. Thank you for making us feel that retirement to Thailand from Cardiff in the UK is completely possible for us. Glad you’re better than ok!
  • Mate! I'm very happy you are coming to Samui where I live now. YOUR videos and what you did for the thai community was amazing during their hard times - I'm a fellow youtuber and can't wait to see you on samui !
  • Chris, as a regular watcher on your channel, I sincerely appreciate the update. And a HUGE YES, you have positively impacted so many people with your videos. I am so happy to hear you will continue and I will be in Thailand about the time you start back up. And another HUGE YES, you were a major factor in my decision to retire in Thailand, so thank you! Enjoy the break and give that sweet wife of yours a BIG hug.

    Your quirky, left field vids have surely been missed Chris having brought so much joy and laughter. Wishing you and Haley a safe and wonderful transition to the land of Samui and what would we like to see moving forward...as someone noted below, what ever brings you joy and a smile to the dial...in only a way that Chris Parker can. 🙏
  • @mrspmtan3443
    I’m Thai living abroad and love watching your videos. You make educational content fun. I think anyone can make videos but having a conversation with your viewers is a skills and you’re awesome at it. I can listen to you all day. Looking forward to your next one.
  • @jonnyasia

  • @JobStoit
    Excited for all the changes for you Chris, hope you get some well deserved rest/retirement and will continue to be there for any upcoming video. Love the work, thank you
