Cal
A Canadian who has lived in Asia since 2015, most of it in Bangkok. He runs The Bangkok Guide.
The channel answers the questions people ask before they land: which train from the airport, what a condo really costs, which visa fits. Alongside the guides run condo and house tours with the people who live in them, and interviews with lawyers, long-stayers and Thai creators about how the country works.
Cal Unpacked is the second channel: Thailand's news and the systems behind it, explained without the outrage.
On this site, Cal's name sits on the news, the living guides and the written video pages.
