00:37Hey guys, welcome back to another video
00:40We are just at Pranbiri National Park
00:43Which is just outside of Hoa Hinh
00:45We've been here before in a video
00:47But we're actually heading to Pranbiri Beach
00:49Which we haven't actually checked out yet
00:50It's about 45 minutes from Hoa Hinh
00:53I think about that
00:55Maybe about half an hour
00:56It's meant to be really nice
00:58So we're just going to go check that out
00:59Today we thought we'd take you guys with us
01:00And towards the end of the video
01:02We're going to reveal something
01:05Probably from the title you can probably tell
01:08But we'll share that with you guys shortly
01:10I need to get your opinion
01:12Mandy likes it and wanted me to shave her mustache in
01:15I'm on the fence about it
01:17I don't know
01:18Let us know down below in the comments what you think
01:20Give us a thumbs up or a thumbs down
01:22Should I keep it or shave it?
01:23Keep it
01:25A dad stache
01:26Yeah, it's a dad stache
01:28I'm going to get him some white nikes as well
01:31Yeah, maybe some crocs
01:33Some crocs in like a floppy hat or something
01:48Stay, stay
01:48Hey
01:49Way too excited
01:50Come here
01:57Come here
01:58Come here
02:02Come here
02:16What the car?
02:29Bear hasn't been on the beach in, what, two months?
02:35Yeah, unfortunately rainy season in Thailand, although it's not very rainy.
02:40There's a lot of jellyfish on the beach here in Hua Hin and so we've been kind of holding
02:45off going for a swim because I don't really want Bear getting stung by jellyfish, I also
02:52don't want Mandy getting stung by jellyfish, so I haven't been to the beach in a while.
02:59Bear's a celebrity here, right?
03:01Yeah, he's such a weird anomaly.
03:06Yeah, the lady at the coffee shop there just asked to take a photo of him.
03:09I don't think they see many Labradors here.
03:12Not big bear looking ones for sure.
03:17So we have another announcement actually.
03:18We just hit 100,000 subscribers like last week.
03:23Yay!
03:23Thank you guys so much.
03:25Yeah, which is kind of insane.
03:27That was one of our main goals when we started this channel almost three years ago.
03:31So thank you to everybody who's subscribed over the last three years.
03:35You might have seen me in previous videos saying that we were going to do a giveaway to say
03:41thank you to everyone who has joined us on this journey and supported us.
03:45So we're going to hold true to our word.
03:47We are planning a giveaway.
03:50We're going to be giving away a travel suitcase prize worth I think around $1,000.
03:56All you need to do is jump over to our Instagram page and check out the first pinned post and
04:04follow the instructions there.
04:05It's that simple.
04:06We'll link it in the description.
04:13I really like it here because it feels like the only place that you can actually hang out
04:17during the day like when the sun's really intense.
04:20The trees really help it in here definitely going to be coming here when the baby comes
04:25a lot because there's a lot of shade and the beach is like it's just dead here like there's
04:30no one we're the only ones here at the moment so nice there's a breeze coming off the beach
04:35and there's heaps of shade and there's no one around there's no street dogs there's no nothing
04:41i'm not even sweating right now yeah yeah yeah definitely worth checking out if you're in the
04:48walk-in area this is insane they're so cute it's the cutest little school kids walking through
04:57here right now oh my goodness oh and a dog that doesn't seem oh he seems okay with bear
05:02me see what i got buddy.
05:07I got started.
05:09I got started.
05:25You gotta go stare down.
05:29but we haven't had too much of an issue with them yet.
05:31He's got a cull on me though.
05:33He's very streaky though.
05:37Who's Izzy though?
05:42He likes him.
05:46Did you make a friend?
05:52He doesn't want to play.
05:55I don't think he knows the rules to your game, Bear.
06:00I just saw some bikes parked out front of the cafe.
06:04They're not the fanciest bikes ever,
06:07but you can rent them for about $2 for the hour,
06:11which is pretty good.
06:12This is such a nice place to ride a bike.
06:14Might have to do that one day.
06:17Alright guys, we just need to give a quick shout out to Surfshark
06:20for sponsoring today's video.
06:22So one thing we really don't show a lot of on this channel
06:25is all the behind the scenes stuff like editing videos,
06:28uploading content,
06:29and of course planning all of our trips.
06:32Up until a few months ago,
06:33we actually didn't have our own place
06:35and we didn't have access to our own Wi-Fi,
06:38which meant working from hotels,
06:40Airbnbs,
06:41internet cafes,
06:42and co-working spaces.
06:44And that meant logging onto public Wi-Fi.
06:46And not only that,
06:47when we're travelling through airports,
06:49and on buses and trains,
06:51we're also using public Wi-Fi,
06:52or whatever is available at the time.
06:55Unfortunately,
06:55public Wi-Fi is an absolute gold mine for hackers,
06:59which is why for almost three years now,
07:01since we left Australia,
07:02we've been using Surfshark VPN.
07:04And still to this day,
07:06I never log onto the internet
07:07without turning on my Surfshark VPN.
07:10And in case you don't know what a VPN is,
07:12it stands for Virtual Private Network,
07:14and it's super important if you're going to be using Wi-Fi.
07:17Basically, it acts like a mask,
07:18encrypting all of your data
07:20that gets sent between our computers and the internet,
07:22so that nobody can steal all of your sensitive information.
07:25Trust me, it's happened to me before.
07:27But honestly, that's just one reason we use Surfshark.
07:29The other reason is that it lets us log onto service
07:32from all over the world,
07:33which means accessing streaming services from other countries,
07:36such as Hulu, HBO, and Netflix.
07:39Unfortunately, when you're travelling around the world,
07:41some content isn't available to you.
07:43So guys, don't leave yourself vulnerable to hackers any longer.
07:46Secure your privacy with Surfshark
07:48by clicking the link down below.
07:50And remember to use code Lloyd and Mandy at checkout
07:53to get four months extra.
07:55Okay, thanks for watching guys,
07:56and let's get back to the video.
08:23This bridge doesn't look like it's operating.
08:26No.
08:30Okay.
08:33I had to go back to the highway.
08:36Google Maps is done in here.
08:39Just...
08:41Go ahead.
08:42Come in.
08:43Bye.
08:47Hey.
08:58I'm off.
08:58Bye.
09:00Bye.
09:01Bye.
09:02Bye.
09:02Bye.
09:03Bye.
09:05Bye.
09:05Bye.
09:29There's a lot more soy dogs at Prambury beach.
09:34They're not too happy with bear.
09:36Oi!
09:44They all bark, but they don't do anything though.
09:47They're all scared.
09:54So first impressions of Prambury.
09:57It's very quiet, obviously it's middle of the day so not everyone's out, but it looks like
10:01a lot of the resorts are just dead, like no one's in the pool or anything.
10:05But it's got this really beautiful boardwalk that goes along the whole beach and it goes
10:10for ages.
10:11And it's really well kept actually, it's really nice.
10:14I wish Swahin had something more like this so you could actually walk on the ocean.
10:18That's definitely one up that Prambury has, but wow is it dead.
10:23Like there's no one here.
10:25We haven't seen anyone for ages.
10:27It must be just slow season, eh?
10:29Yeah.
10:29Yeah.
10:30Yeah.
10:31Yeah.
10:32Yeah.
10:40Yeah.
11:09Bear, come on.
11:33Okay, I'm going to be 100% honest, a little bit underwhelmed by Branburi.
11:38We've been driving around looking for somewhere to get something to eat for lunch with Bear.
11:44Not many options with dogs.
11:46We were told that here was really pet friendly but we think we might just be here the wrong time
11:50of year.
11:51Just says down season at the moment.
11:52So we're going to head back to Hua Hin and there's a dog friendly place that we wanted to try.
11:56We get a lot of messages from you guys asking about like dog friendly travel and stuff and Hua Hin
12:01is actually really good.
12:03The standard actually allows dogs at it which is like a really nice hotel and we hang out there pretty
12:08frequently.
12:08And there's lots of dog friendly restaurants and cafes and things.
12:12But yeah, we really want to try this one so we're going to head there now.
12:14Let us know down in the comments if you've been to Branburi before.
12:18Maybe we just went to the wrong area.
12:37Well unfortunately the place that we're going to bring Bear, the dog friendly cafe, wouldn't
12:43let us bring them in.
12:45It says on their website that they're dog friendly.
12:50So anyway.
12:51Today hasn't gone at all how we thought it was going to.
12:56But there's this new Mediterranean restaurant here that we've been wanting to try for a while
13:00now and it looks really good actually.
13:03So we dropped Bear at home and came here instead.
13:07We'll take him for a swim when we go.
13:15Do you eat that with the meal or is it just an appetizer and it's good?
13:22I have no idea.
13:25I think I'll probably eat it with the meal.
13:27I have no idea.
13:29I have no idea.
13:38This is honestly so good.
13:39If you're in Hua Hin, come to Ogen?
13:43Ogen?
13:43It's Ogen or Ogen.
13:45We don't know how to pronounce it.
13:46O-G-E-N Mediterranean food.
13:50Best Mediterranean food I've had in a long time.
14:07Okay, so the nursery is clearly not finished yet.
14:12Pretty close.
14:13We wanted to share with you guys what we can all look forward to in a couple of short months.
14:19Who will be joining our channel.
14:23Very excited.
14:26Honey, do you want to be in this?
14:30Are you ready for a baby bear?
14:33Yeah?
14:41I guess I'll just show maybe that's pink.
14:49We're having a little Mandy.
14:51Yeah.
14:54We're having a girl.
14:55Yeah, I'm so excited.
14:57If you guessed right in the comments, congratulations I guess.
15:02You win.
15:04Yeah.
15:04A lot of people were guessing, a lot of people messaging us.
15:09We weren't sure if we were going to tell everyone or not until the day, but today's the day.
15:13Today's the day.
15:14We're really excited.
15:15So we'll have a little L&M girl.
15:19Don't even bother trying to ask us what the name's going to be.
15:24Yeah.
15:24Okay.
15:24That's all anyone's been doing is trying to guess, but we're not sharing.
15:29Actually, you can guess down in the comments.
15:32You can guess.
15:33You can guess, but we're not telling.
15:35No.
15:36We're not telling.
15:37Anyway, thanks so much for watching guys.
15:39We're sorry that today's video didn't go exactly as planned, but we ended up having a good day anyway.
15:44It is what it is.
15:44We'll keep doing more like day in life videos like this as much as we can.
15:49I'm pretty much bedridden a lot and laying on the couch a lot at the moment, but we'll do our
15:54best to get as many videos out over the next couple months.
15:58And yeah, we'll just see how we go.
16:00We're going to take it day by day.
16:01Some days Mandy's got plenty of energy.
16:03She's feeling great.
16:04Other days can barely get out of bed.
16:06Yeah.
16:06It just is what it is.
16:07Yeah.
16:07I've realized.
16:08Yep.
16:09We just every day wake up and whatever it is is what the day is.
16:12So anyway, thanks for watching guys.
16:15See you in the next one.
16:16Bye.
