I hope this message finds you well. 

I wanted to take a moment to update you about the channel and let you know about some upcoming changes. As many of you might have noticed, I haven't uploaded any new content in quite a while. Unfortunately, I’ve been dealing with some health issues, which have made it difficult for me to keep up with the channel.

To make sure the channel stays active and continues to bring you interesting content, I've asked a good friend of mine, Paul, to join the team and help out. Paul lives in Thailand and will be creating some Thailand-based content for me and I think you’ll really enjoy what he has to offer.

Additionally, I'll be putting back up some of the older videos that I had taken down a couple of years ago. I know some of you have asked about those videos, so I'm glad to be able to share them with you again.

I hope you’ll continue to support the channel and enjoy the content Paul and I will be sharing. 

Thank you so much for being a part of this community and for your understanding during this time.

Best wishes,


Simon 

Over the past six months life has changed, sadly my mother has dementia and needs a lot of care and attention.

In October I was involved in a road traffic accident which left me with back and neck injuries. I am attending a Physiotherapist twice a week with hopefully a good outcome in time.

I have not worked for Three months and have no sight of returning soon. 

I have decided to shut down my social media platforms for now and concentrate on my mother and my health.

I will not be posting on Youtube until things get better.

I will be shutting the Youtube members area at the end of this month and have closed my Patreon page.

You can still contact us by email at [email protected] but replies might take a while so bear with me.

Family and one's own health have to come first, I hope you all understand.

All the videos currently on the channel will stay there and are free to watch.

Let's hope the second part of the year gets better and we can return to normal plans with Thailand and the resort.

Happy New Year everybody, we hope you and your loved ones have a great 2023. Love Mem & Simon 

Wishing all of you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year, Love Mem and Simon 

Such a sad day today, Ian Royle passed away in the hospital peacefully. His girlfriend El and friend Andy Oswald were with him till the end. 
I met Ian in 2017 in Thailand and can honestly say he was one of the nicest human beings I have ever met. He will be missed by so many people.
Many of you will know him from not only our Youtube channel but others as well. He really lived his life to the full and was loving Thailand.
He leaves behind his son George who lives in Australia and I informed him earlier of his father's passing, that was one of the hardest messages I have ever had to send.
For those wanting more information please contact Andy Oswald via Facebook.
There are quite a few videos on our channel including live streams with Ian in and I will be leaving all of them up in his memory.
Below are a few funny, nice photos and memories of the wonderful man Ian was. R.I.P. my good friend. 

Here is the new YouTube Handle for the channel -  https://youtube.com/@LandofSmilesThailand 

I am still trying to get my head around it and understand what it is and what benefits it has for you and me lol. I probably need to be 30 years younger to figure it out. 

Very proud that my second book Confessions of a Pattaya Bar Manager is trending as number 1 in the best selling books on Amazon for Thailand.
Thanks for all of you that have bought the book.
