Here is a 30 minute motorcycle repair that completely disassembled the front forks of a motorcycle to replace springs and fluid. Wait until you hear the cost!

Training Your Ear to Understand a Thai-English Accent

Membership site now open: http://retirecheap.tv/members  If you travel or live in Thailand or neighboring Southeast Asian countries you will face having to tune your ear to the accents applied to English words. In an effort to get your ear trained I will be interviewing Thai people so you have this opportunity to get a jump on this skill set. I hope it helps and gives you an understanding of the nuances of the language.

Yee Peng Lantern ceremony - Mae Jo, Thailand 2011

Membership site now open: http://retirecheap.tv/members The Thais love their festivals and holidays. One is of particular interest to me. This is one of the most beautiful sights that I have witnessed in my lifetime and try to attend every year if possible. It is the Yee Ping Lantern Festival. At this event thousands of people release paper lanterns called khom loi (Thai: โคมลอย, literally: "floating lanterns"). If you ever get the chance to see this up in Chiang Mai then do it. You will remember it forever. Just in case you missed it, here is a little taste of the event plus a peek into the festivities that go on during this night at the Wat (temple). Have a look.
