  • Today I visit a smaller community in Bangkok, these neighbourhoods are often referred to as a "slum" or a "poor area" However when I take a look around and meet the people living here, I am amazed at how kind and friendly everyone is that lives there. I explore life on minimum wage in Bangkok and how you can live in these less expensive parts of the city.

    If only more foreigners came to Thailand to learn about and appreciate the culture (and pick up some ideas how to improve their own).
    Your video is so much more respectful to Thailand than the ones that just show you how to take advantage of such a lovely place and people.
    Well done, mate.

      You can choose 🤔 I doubt anyone chooses a life ridden with poverty or surviving on under 10 usd a day ... Bangkok is a large city and has its rough neighbourhoods just like any other large city in the world, but I can definitely say I feel more safe in some parts of Bangkok in comparison to European cities of similar size.. but again, *we are all entitled to our own opinions* 😊

    I am absolutely amazed by the lack of theft among the local Thais, you can leave expensive stuff on a table and walk away for 10min, doesn’t matter how poor they are they typically do not steal. In Los Angeles it’s almost the opposite where everyone will steal from you rich or poor with the poor believing you owe them and the rich feeling they need it more than you. I do think Thais have something more and generally live happier with what they have than us in the west.

    on my first trip to Bangkok, many ,many years ag, I thought of the phrase "city of contradictions" I would see place like this right next door to beautiful Temples or elaborate houses, But everyone was happy and their smiles were genuine. I was invited to join a group, who were cooking in an alleyway, to eat with them and their food was delicious and somehow we managed to communicate

    I've watched lots of Thai youtube channels , perhaps hoping to re-live the experiences from that time.
    For some reason , today, the algorithims suggested this one and I must say it's the best I've seen. Congratulations - you've created a very interesting programme to watch Thank you!
