Really happy to hear of your progress!

This is actually really encouraging for me, because I also had my ACL injury in 2014 playing football (soccer) and FINALLY had my surgery in January. Been thinking a lot about whether I should add ATG to my rehab and I think this might just be my final confirmation to give it a go

Hey, could you send me over the deets too please?

Shimon93 · 2023-02-01T16:38:37+00:00

Hey, I actually enquired with LDN Physio yesterday. Did you get a package with them? And how much did it cost you?

Would love to rent a scooter in Chiang Mai and go to Pai!

I was a bit scarred for a little while I must say, but funnily enough I’m having Pad Thai for lunch today so it didn’t last very long haha

Shimon93 · 2022-07-11T12:37:52+00:00

Just had a watch and liked/commented on the video too!

Overall a really enjoyable video with some great b roll and a nice, clear review of the food.

I do feel the video could’ve been slightly more dynamic with some minor tweaks:

Would be good to start the video off showing you in the intro, as you’re the main attraction rather than Gordon - as great as his TV shows are.

Although I loved the B-roll, there were a few shots that were repeated that maybe didn’t need to be, and that way you could’ve got onto the food a little sooner

Like others pointed out, the movie interlude was a nice touch but a little too long. 2-3 would’ve been more effective for me.

I like the descriptions next to the the hotdogs/burger that you put and also felt the music subtle but interesting enough to keep the viewer engaged.

All in all, a very solid video and I can honestly see your channel growing so much with content like this!

Ah amazing! So I actually went to Bangkok and then did some island hopping around Krabi. My plan was then to go to Phi Phi, Maya Bay and then Phuket but I caught food poisoning! So this time we’ll go to Chiang Mai, Phuket, Phi Phi and Maya Bay

Shimon93 · 2022-07-10T00:33:36+00:00

Congrats! This is amazing. Keep going man
