Helmet Fines, Lucky Lizards & Ladyboy Love – Real Life in Thailand

We’re back to the usual pace of Thai life—and today’s video covers everything from lucky lizards to love, laws, and AI. Yes, really!

🦎 On the way to lunch, we encounter a monitor lizard casually crossing the road. In Thailand, that’s a good omen—unless you hit it, of course.

🪖 We talk about the new motorbike helmet law. A 2,000 baht fine sounds serious, but is anyone in the suburbs really paying attention? Or is this just a new way to tap tourist wallets?

🍜 Lunch is at Nuek Cafe, a peaceful local spot. We even found cake—again.

💛 Chanya opens up about transgender dating in Thailand, and we reflect on 16 years together. It’s not the bar scene stereotype—it’s real love, and yes, it’s possible.

🤖 Finally, I tackle the Jumping Jesus Phenomenon (not religious!), where we discuss how information is doubling faster than ever—and what that means for people, relationships, and AI bots in your DMs.

⚠️ Note: The full Dragon Temple visit is now exclusive for Patrons & Channel Members, so check your feed if you're subscribed!

👉 Leave a comment, share your thoughts, and help cheer Chanya up! She's been feeling a bit “old” lately—let’s show her the love.
