Number 1 lesson I've learned traveling myself. :)

Invited for tea, eh? If so, don't worry, you'll be fine. You definitely play with fire more than you realize, but we love you for it. Just don't push yourself too hard or do anything that causes you too many problems. I wouldn't have gone to the lab or the market bro, but that's me :-P I love your unbiased approach, it's an awesome place with a lot of problems, and it's nice to see someone who acknowledges that and treats it as such.

YOU take care of YOU first. 💕

Tommy, I’m a relative newcomer to your YouTube channel but both my wife and I are hooked. Glad to hear you are ok. Keep the dirty side down and take it easy.

Consider posting on X…

I just found your channel as well and love the content and your respectful and easy going manner. Prioritize your health, it is so easy to put that last and when you get older you realize how important it is.

Tommy, I'm late to the game since I only discovered your YT days ago and have binged your content for hours on end. Wish I could give you more than just a $5 sub. You are an incredible creator. Thanks for taking us along for the journey. Glad to hear you're on the mend and back in action.

Thank you for this context. I actually assumed you were just taking a break. You SHOULD take blocks of time off every year. I learn so much from your travels and don't want to see you burn out. About the propaganda accusations, remember that most of the people that write have the strongest opinions. There are probably lots of people, like myself, that understand the balancing act you have to do in some countries, and quietly enjoy everything you publish.

Thanks for the update!

I've been waiting for some solid vlogging YouTuber like Bald & Bankrupt to visit China for a long time, looking for someone who can talk with the locals and who are unafraid of voicing a nuanced opinion. The wait is perfectly understandable, your mental health and personal safety are more important than any of us viewers. Glad the trip was done.

Glad you're ok cuz I was thinking the worst. I figured you finally put your face in the wrong doorway lol. Stay safe and don't do anything stupid. We like the vids, but don't risk your life for anything.

Mick Mac

LOL! I thought the Yakuza got you. Seriously, we just wanted to know you were OK. It wasn't about posting more videos. Like it or not Tommy, you've gathered together people from all over who genuinely care about you. Peace!

Everyone needs to take mental health days to relax and regroup for the next adventure. I am praying we don’t have a big uptick in the new variant worldwide. Be safe and look forward to more exploration when you feel ready.

Taylor Wyman

happy to see ya back!! missed you & the videos glad you enjoyed your break everyone needs them :)

Richard Apollos

I had a feeling that was part of what was going on when you finally posted your first Shanghai video. Glad you took a break. We ALL need one every once in a while.

Dude, take care of your health, you can't get that back if it goes south. For some reason, lately, I've been getting a lot of negative China-based videos in my YouTube feed. It's obvious that propoganda can be king there. Good to know that you got to Thailand, my wife and I had our honeymoon in Koh Chang, across the water from Trat. Take care, Tommy!
