I have seen it, like the village of the damned, all look like Quasimodo, Garry Glitter Hybrid’s they know full well no women would come within a foot of them if it wasn’t for the poverty divide.
This 'legend' is in Pattaya currently. Was on a livestream the other day. Those poor bar girls..

I see DJ making a list of all these different places in Asia he plans to visit.

The thing is I just can’t get excited about it, reason being he never shows the places properly or does the trips justice.

When he did the bike ride across Europe he filmed hotel rooms and Petrol Stations, instead of the scenery on the way, when others challenged him he got defensive about it.

In New York he showed non of the tourist attractions, just a few greasy spoons and an indoor deli, he missed big opportunities to grow his channel.

Everything he does is minimal effort, he never interacts with locals and gets them talking on camera he just sits in cruise control doing just enough to get money from Youtube.

that’s the thing he had a real opportunity to make some good content and grow his channel with the viewers he’s gained off the back of his brief bro-mance with the macmaster but as your say minimal effort it is.
I also find it strange he seems in no rush on the visa and health insurance yet he has signed a year lease ?

Anyone seen the latest episode of the Darren John Show?

it showcased all the weird old men with young Thai women, horrific scenes….

That editing by DJ, especially the Auld lang syne bit where he slowed it down 🤷‍♂️🤦 good grief it was like nightmare fuel.

Sleaziness off the charts!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yep. Wall to wall weird old blokes, with beer bellies, and some Thai ladies. Daz's new friends.

He won't film in the bars, in the ultra seedy street, because they have security, and it could get him in big trouble.

The vlog where he talks about living costs, he looks spaced out. It made no sense. I wonder if he has been caught in the 'buy me a drink' scam and blown his budget.

At least he didn't do his karaoke 'Sweet Caroline'.

Anyone get the 'Off The Charts' crimplene shorts for Crimbo?

I've noticed in his comments there's one guy who seems to rush to DJs defence at every negative comment, captainperfection is the username. It's either darren himself or someone he knows.

Every negative comment, they're there sticking up for him.

The budget vlog was weird. He never spoke about accommodation costs, utilities, groceries. Travel, fuel for his bike. All things that need to be budgeted for, yet he doesn't mention them. And the vlog after that, he had a meltdown about tomato ketchup.
These 2 vlogs were full of rambling nothingness. Strange content from a strange man.

This guy I have seen ‘moderate’ comments on other food vlog channels too, so it is not DJ but is highly annoying lol

He is rather smug and cocky lately, could easily give rough translations from baht to gbp but chooses not to.

Would not divulge the cost of his rents as he swung a discount by advertising the agents on his vlog.

I reckon when he did his budget he had a brain fart and he was basing it after subtracting his YT profits from his expenses.

Looking at his comment section these days it seems what was a good and loyal community have now turned on him to some extent because of his abrupt nature and sweet lost old man act.

What was he thinking making that camera spin around the room in his latest NYE video! 🤮🥴🤔

Tnanks for clearing that up, its weird that he's always jumping to his defence at any negative comments, that's why I thought it may have been DJ himself.

Yes, it seems very similar. If you watch some of the ex-pat vlogger's, they tell stories of the scams and rip-off's. It all sounds very dodgy and seedy.

He got defensive in the comments with someone asking about visa costs, and health insurance. Surely that would be a priority.
I don't think he realises the state of the roads, and danger's of long road trips on a bike.

A couple of guys we've watched who live in Jomtien do monthly budget breakdown vlogs, and always include the monthly pro rata cost of the visa and health insurance in with rent, food, water and electricity etc. Logical in other words.

Haven't watched Dazza on NYE but 360 camera spinning is pure Geoff Carter

Just watched the New Years Eve vlog. Looks like it was filmed while JD was the worst for drink. Awful footage and editing (if you can call it edited footage). One shot taken with the camera spinning around, for no apparent reason Another sequence where he had just left the camera on a table. Really seedy looking place that JD has been doing shameless infomercials for called Bentleys. The place is full of male European sex tourists in their 50s-60s accompanied by much younger Thai women. Bentleys doesn't appear to have the wipe down privacy curtains though, never mind. Looks like Bentleys is going to be his local, so look forward to more full English breakfasts, fish and chips, pie and mash all with a generous helping of DJs riveting descriptive narrative. He's already run out of ideas and he's only been there a few weeks. Mark my works he wont last the year in Thailand.

He wants to get out of Pattaya for a bit “it’s time” sick of it already ? Anyway he’s just hired a big motorbike for £400 plus a month , was that in the budgeting video ? Off the charts…

He throws shade at the four guys across the road, drinking at the bar. Don't act like you are not one of them. Pattaya is not called sin city for nothing.
Clickbait title. Jumped right in renting that condo for twelve months.
