00:11Here we go. I'm doing a harking pants.

00:15Sucks. Again.

00:17It's not too hot now.

00:55Alright, we just got to a new temple.

00:58We've never visited before here in Hua Hin. It's called Wat Kao Fanam Chai.

01:05I hope I'm saying that right.

01:07I'm talking really quiet because it is silent here.

01:12And this is an actual practicing temple.

01:16So there's like monks and stuff here.

01:19So, trying to be respectful.

01:21We saw really good reviews of this on Google.

01:24We've never been here before.

01:25We're just not sure if we're allowed to go up to the temple.

01:30Because it looks like it's closed.

01:33And there's no one there.

01:35But there is a sign that says, please take off your shoes.

01:39I don't know.

01:41Whenever we go to one of these places, I'm really cautious to not do anything that we're not supposed to

01:48do.

01:49Because it's effectively a place of worship.

01:53And we don't want to be the tourists that are coming in and doing the wrong thing annoying people.

01:59But it's pretty nice up here.

02:02It's perfect temperature.

02:04Nice sunny day.

02:06Also, every sign here is in Thai.

02:09So, there's a lot of signs.

02:13But we literally have no idea what any of them say, like here.

02:24Oh, here we go.

02:31Look at that.

02:31There's a QR code you can scan to get information about it.

02:35I'm going to try it.

02:45Okay, I guess the QR code is just like a tourist site.

02:49There's a bunch of different things you can do in Huahim.

02:52Nothing specifically about this temple.

02:54But there's a sign that says it's about 250 metres up this path to get to a pagoda.

03:03Which I read online has a really nice view.

03:05So, we'll do the hike up here and see how it is at the top.

03:12Should be okay with Lila, hopefully.

03:15She okay?

03:16She's getting a little bit fussy already, but that's okay.

03:19Lloyd and I have been in a hustle mob for quite a while.

03:22It's kind of hard for us to get out of it.

03:24But one thing that we've understood lately and why we're taking today off just to like

03:29come and do something a little bit different and fun is just how much we value our time.

03:34Especially now that we've got a little one who's losing it right now.

03:38Yeah, so we pretty much did nothing but work for five, six years.

03:46It was all about work, work, work.

03:49Try and make an income online.

03:51Pretty much no days off.

03:52Although, not complaining because a lot of that work involved travel blogging.

03:57Which was fun.

03:58We definitely weren't valuing days off.

04:01Taking time off.

04:02That was like our last priority.

04:03And I really struggle with that.

04:05I still do.

04:06Taking a day off for me always feels weird.

04:08Like I'm doing something wrong.

04:09I'm not sure what that is.

04:10If it's like ADD or anxiety.

04:14Or maybe just for so many years being in that hustle mode.

04:18But Lila's really changed that for us.

04:21Because now I can really see the value in our time.

04:25Even more so than I ever did.

04:26Because now when I have time off, I'm not just doing nothing.

04:29I'm spending time with our daughter and my wife.

04:32Isn't that the whole point of doing what we're doing?

04:34Isn't that why we spent five, six years working non-stop.

04:39So that we could enjoy moments like this.

04:41Yeah.

04:41We're not very good at not working.

04:43I guess once you start seeing like when you say yes to doing something.

04:48And it like is taking your time away from family and doing things.

04:52You see it as a lot more like your time a lot more valuable.

04:55Yeah.

04:55We're in charge of setting our own value in life.

04:57So I think we're just going to start saying no a bit more.

05:02And just only saying yes to things that add to our life.

05:05And I guess that's our new year's resolution.

05:08Is just to not say yes to so many things.

05:10And not be so busy all the time.

05:12Busy doing the right things.

05:13Is that right?

05:14Yeah.

05:14I actually spoke about this in our last day in the life vlog.

05:18A book I read from Dan Martell about buying back your time.

05:22It's not necessarily about buying back your time so you can grow your business.

05:27Although that is part of it.

05:29It's more about buy back your time so you can do what you love doing.

05:32And with that I think comes growing your business.

05:36Like yesterday afternoon I felt really burnt out.

05:39We went and sat on the rooftop.

05:40I just smoked a cigar and we listened to some music.

05:42And all these ideas came to me and I felt like way more calm.

05:47Because my mind had been going at a million miles an hour.

05:50And I was able to do that because of some of the decisions we've made to buy back our time.

05:55So that's kind of the point we're trying to get across.

05:58Anyway, so that's why we've chosen to live somewhere that's sort of like a holiday destination all the time.

06:03So like when we do get time off we can go do holiday-y things.

06:07This is one of them.

06:08Okay these look like headstones.

06:13So maybe we shouldn't be filming this.

06:15I thought they were just little shrines but it's got people's date of birth and death here.

06:22They're really beautiful.

06:24They really honour the dead like beautifully.

06:28These are beautiful statues and shrines.

06:31Maybe we won't show them in the video just out of respect.

06:34I don't know.

06:35Let us know what you think down below in the comments.

06:38I can't believe the weather in Thuahin lately.

06:41On a different note.

06:43It's been like so mild.

06:44I've actually put a jumper on lately.

06:46It's been really nice.

06:48And everyone that's been visiting has said that it's like not normal for Thailand and stuff.

06:53So I think we're getting lucky.

06:54It was kind of the same last year when we were here.

06:57Maybe because we've climatised a lot.

06:58Like 24 degrees is like so cold to me now.

07:02It's actually crazy.

07:04It feels, it legitimately feels cold in the morning.

07:07And then I open my weather app and it says it's like 23 degrees.

07:10So I don't know what's going to happen when we go back to North America.

07:14But yeah we've been told by a couple of people that it's unusual.

07:17It's because the cows are farting hey.

07:20Bill Gates needs to vaccinate the cows.

07:22We're about half way up and there's a bathroom here.

07:24That's really handy.

07:25Usually these places don't have toilets or anything.

07:28Man, we're the only people here.

07:29Hawaii generally gets pretty busy on Fridays usually.

07:32This feels like a bit of a hidden gem.

08:02Guys we're just going to take a quick break from showing you this epic temple.

09:29Well we're just coming to the cliff face.

09:32And the view is pretty epic.

09:35Beautiful.

09:36Look at that.

09:37Nice beach.

09:43Looks like Kau Takau Beach there.

09:46Yep.

09:49And then Hua Hin beach.

09:51Behind the trees here.

09:54Kau Tao.

09:55All the way over there.

09:56Look at these houses on the waterfront there.

09:59They're pretty cool.

10:00There's a few like lakes back here.

10:02Hey.

10:02They look like man made lakes.

10:04I've never seen Hawaiian from this perspective.

10:06Where is everyone?

10:08Some lakes up there.

10:09You think it would be so busy.

10:23Wow.

10:24This is like full 360 degree views.

10:27Like the whole city.

10:35Yeah so going back to that whole topic of how valuable time is.

10:40I think when we really realised it was.

10:43When we were both working jobs.

10:45And essentially trading our time for money.

10:47For somebody else.

10:48For a paycheck.

10:49And then we decided to go out on our own and make our own businesses.

10:53Which we actually were still trading just our time for money.

10:58But this time instead of a boss.

10:59It was clients.

11:00And I thought being a business owner meant.

11:02You would have more free time.

11:04It was actually the opposite.

11:05I had way less free time.

11:07And that's kind of how we stumbled across online business.

11:11E-com.

11:12Content creation.

11:14And what we do now.

11:15Honestly.

11:16Like we had to put in a lot of time at the beginning.

11:18We went through a really big hustle phase.

11:22Like I said.

11:22Probably five or six years.

11:24But now I see things a lot different.

11:26I definitely think there's a stage in your life.

11:27Where you need to be exchanging your time for money.

11:30But if you can get past that.

11:32Where maybe you front load the work.

11:34And then you can buy back your time.

11:36Like we are now.

11:38And I don't think we waste any time at all.

11:41I mean.

11:42Probably the biggest waste of time I would say is.

11:44I watch like a TV show for maybe an hour at night.

11:48That's like maximum.

11:50Other than that.

11:51I'm either.

11:51That's not a waste if you enjoy it too.

11:53Yeah.

11:53And it's a good wind down.

11:55I'm either with Lila and Mandy.

11:57With Bear.

11:58Training.

12:00Working on something.

12:01Learning something.

12:02Reading something.

12:04Not.

12:04But not like.

12:06All out.

12:07Hustle mode.

12:07Like.

12:08Just conscious that.

12:10How important time is.

12:11And sometimes I'm spending an hour or two just.

12:14Sitting on our rooftop with Lila and Mandy.

12:17And that's not a waste of time to me.

12:19Like how.

12:19How long is she going to be this small for?

12:21I know.

12:21It goes.

12:22It goes so quickly.

12:24Everyone keeps saying that.

12:25But she's three and a half months old.

12:26And look at her.

12:27She's still tiny.

12:27She's huge now.

12:30She doesn't walk.

12:31She doesn't talk.

12:32She doesn't really do anything.

12:33She's getting close.

12:35It's so pretty here.

12:38The wind chimes are so beautiful.

12:40Like it feels like magical up here.

12:42I really recommend coming up here.

12:44Go in Hua Hin.

12:44Yeah.

12:45We might.

12:45We'll drop a Google map link down below.

12:48There's so many temples in Hua Hin actually.

12:50We're going to have to hit them all.

12:51If you just scan like the horizon here.

12:54You can see like probably.

12:56I mean there's like four temples right there.

12:58Just all over on the hillside.

12:59It's so pretty.

13:00I do like how the Buddhist temples are always like.

13:03Perched up on a hill somewhere.

13:05Like really cool.

13:06And they're not just.

13:07They're so well maintained too.

13:09And just like.

13:10They just stand out.

13:11And you can just tell they're well cared for.

13:13And like this one.

13:15This one's amazing.

13:36I guess this is what.

13:37They're calling the pagoda.

13:39I've never really heard that word before.

13:41Have you?

13:41It looks.

13:41It's a lotus on top.

13:43Yeah.

13:43I think so.

13:44And there's a big beautiful like red ruby.

13:48Stone.

13:49Yeah.

13:49If any locals or Thai people know what that represents.

13:53Let us know.

13:54I've never seen it before.

13:56And there's these rubies here too.

14:00We're still trying to learn how to speak basic Thai.

14:02Let alone read Thai.

14:05It has to be one of the hardest languages on the planet.

14:08Yeah.

14:09I don't know.

14:10I'm pretty sure like um.

14:12Cantonese is one of the hardest.

14:14Thai has got to be up there.

14:22Wow.

14:22This view is incredible.

14:23And there's just.

14:25A chair.

14:26Right on top of this rock here.

14:28That's pretty cool.

14:28Speaker's now.

14:35Oh.

14:39Oh.

14:44Oh.

14:46Oh.

14:47Oh.

14:49Oh.

14:50Oh.

14:52Oh.

14:53Oh.

15:01okay it's starting to get pretty warm now we're gonna go see if we can find a good iced cocoa

15:07somewhere lode and i have been obsessed with cocoa lately i don't know the past like what

15:12do you think it's been like six months or something we've been just smashing the ice

15:16cocos they're so good so much ice so much cocoa i'm not sure what it is about thailand they really

15:22know how to do the iced cocos they're not sugary or milky it literally just feels like cacao powder

15:29with water and ice yeah it's actually really refreshing and if you have like a bit of a

15:33sweet tooth like we do it kicks that craving i find that it gives me energy as well like sustainable

15:39like not the peak energy that i would get from like coffee and then get jittery i like it yeah

15:44i

15:44think there's like probably less than a quarter of the amount of caffeine in a cocoa than there is

15:49in coffee that's probably what it is i guess the ice cocoa comes in a can

16:30somehow it tastes better in a can we're big fans of this place already it was recommended
