Hua Hin Thailand Mid-Speed Rail Construction Drone Flight - May 15 2021
Welcome to the May 2021 Hua Hin train construction drone flight! This month we see some nice progress on the construction and explore a new area in the south end of the city.
Many thanks to all of the people who pointed out in the April 2021 video that this is neither a High-Speed train, nor part of the Chinese network of train lines in Thailand. That was the plan when it was first announced but has since been scaled back, and clearly I didn't get the memo!
So, what we really have is a "Mid-Speed" dual-track system, expected to cruise around 160 kph, which is almost double what I've experienced in the past, so that's still a good thing.
The dual-track system will alleviate the problem of a northbound and southbound train fighting for the same track. I've been on a train that had to stop and reverse to the previous station to allow another train to go past. That really messes up the schedule.
The trains coming through Hua Hin will soon transition from the old Hua Lamphong station in the heart of Bangkok to the new Bang Sue station in the northwest corner of the city. This will cut an additional 45 minutes off the trip and allow me to jump onto Bangkok's BTS / MRT subway system and quickly get to where I want to go.

You'll see a little promo clip from my friend who runs the https://ImInHuaHin.com web site. Check it our for all things related to our fine city.
As you may have noticed, I've stepped up the game with a new drone-focused introduction and new location tag style. I've brought on my friend and creative genius Tony Cooiman as the director of photography and editor, and you can see the result. I remain your humble drone pilot monkey and YouTuber wannabe. Check out Tony's work at https://www.youtube.com/user/tonycooiman and contact him for your Internet marketing, video shooting and editing needs. And he will kick your ass in Uechi-Ryū karate!

Welcome to the June 2022 Hua Hin Thailand train line construction drone flight video update.
I'm shifting to an end-of-the-month publishing schedule as Geoff is flying the drone mid-month and I'm on my trip, currently in the Adriatic Sea beach town of Budva in Montenegro. Trust me, Internet speeds are hit and miss in AirBnBs and hotels in this part of the world.
This month we see some good progress on three of the overpass ramps and the station.

WILD
wild-elephant-on-the-road-near-hua-hin
I've experienced some great things in my new life here in Thailand, and yesterday was definitely the best as you can see in the video. I was taking my visiting friend Sean through the jungle out to the Pala-U waterfall near the Thailand / Myanmar border near my town of Hua Hin and this happened. A bit butt-clenching scared, but very cool and I think our new friend was happy just strolling down the road. When we passed him again on the way back to town I *swear* he looked right at me and raised his trunk up to us as if to say "Hey guys, good to see you again, have a great day."

drone-flight-of-dolphin-bay-sam-roi-yot
In today's video we're taking you about 50 kilometers south of Hua Hin to a long stretch of coastline known as Dolphin Bay.
Just to the south of Dolphin Bay we enter the Sam Roi Yot region, from the Thai phrase 300 Peaks. Sam Roi Yot gives its name to a national park with beaches, islands, Dusky Langur monkeys, caves, mangrove forests and massive craggy limestone mountains that thrust up to the sky.
To get to the famous Phraya Nakhon cave, you start at Bang Pu beach and hike over the point of the mountain and down to the beach, then you climb straight up to the cave opening and then down into the cave itself with its stunning Buddhist temple at the bottom.

MY FI
my-first-two-extruder-two-color-3d-print
In this video I print a 3D model designed for two-extruder printing on my Flashforge Creator Pro Dual 3D printer.
The link to the 3D model's Thingverse page is http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1169514 No fair peeking before you watch the video.
Note that the thin plastic shell around the model is there on purpose, called by the highly technical term "ooze shield." It is supposed to prevent the recently-stopped-but-still-hot-and-oozing-from-the-extruder plastic from interfering when switching to start printing from the other extruder. As you'll see from the print, it works pretty well but not perfectly. Perhaps I can fine tune the parameters for the next print.
