No
what I most admire about this vlog is that you fully dressed up with a shirt, tie and a jacket and you're not even sweating.
it is hard work!
Great video. Its all about living in the land of smiles and not making a frown out of it. Its all about understanding Thailand. Good job, Bro.
Sure is!
ขอโทษด้วยที่มันมีเรื่องไม่ดีสำหรับคนต่างชาติที่เกิดขึ้น ราคาของค่าปรับที่เก็บต่างจากคนไทยทั่วไป ยังไม่รู้ว่าจะแก้ไขได้อย่างไร
Thankyou so much :D
Also is Thailand hard on foreigners just like Japanese are hard to foreigners who live in Japan?
All asian country is hard to live for all westerners. Westerners love to complain everything.
Yes
cool
idk I'm Thai myself and I thought that most Thai people respect western people as superior(We like to interact with white people so we can sometimes say stupid things). But we are taught to hate neighbor countries like Cambodia especially Myanmar.
The higher prices for foreigners is not only Thailand
Here in Las Vegas tourists pay more for most things like rooms etc
Whereas locals get regular pricing
Thanks for sharing this
🇹🇭👍🏽🙏🇺🇸
Thoy's Thai Food Videos On CZcams didn't know that. Well that's Las Vegas off my list
Get yourself a Thai Driving license show you are resident, then you pay RESIDENT prices into national parks, pricing is not based on "nationality" but on residency
Even thai driving licence and a work permit will not get you into places like the grand pallace for free or some of the national parks. Even if you speak thai to them too. Although it will get you in some places at discount price
The dog meat trade is illegal in Thailand. People who does it is an outlaw. It is not acceptable in Thailand at all.
illigal things happen all the time in thailand, especaially the illigal dog trade. you just pay bribe. If you are rich you can even kill someon and not go t jail. ask Mr Red Bull haha
@@FrazerHatyaiI agree with you that illegal things happend in Thailand including the Red Bull's son case. And they are disgusting, it all come to corruption, but we try hard to fix it. The dog meat trade is only run by outlaw gangsters in some area of Thailand, and they sell to vietnam market. Most Thai people love dogs and kind to other animals. The majority of Thais never wish to try to eat dog meat. In general all illegal trades happend around the world including in Europe and North America(drugs, human trafficking, smuggled goods etc.)some countries has more, some has less. Not just Thailand, we try very hard to clean up our country. I hope you understand. Thanks😀
I understand. remember "Thailand is the land of compromise" haha
@@FrazerHatyai It is not quite true that rich people can kill someone and do not have to go to jail. I admit that corruption is still there, but not ervery officials take bribes. If someone try to bribe a wrong person, can also go to jail for bribing an officer. Red Bull case is disgusting, as the billionaire parents should have more morality and let their son fight the case like everyone else. And it is more likely that he will be judged "awaiting penalization" if they choose fight the case as the son has "no intention to kill" the victim as it was an accident. and they heals the victim's family. But they have chosen the wrong choice.
Note: I myself want the redbull son to go to jail as well.😊
@@FrazerHatyai That was not funny,! You should not make fun of our king's speech! I try to explain to you with negative things that you may have seen in Thailand with logic, but it does not mean that they are always commonly happend. And Thai people do not accept the corruptions or illegal trades.
And you just make a joke of my king's speech, it means that you know Thailand just skin deep. Most Thais love the monarchy, and don't like anyone to make fun of our king (the head of the state). In your culture it may alright to do that with your head of the state. But in my culture we do respect the monarchy.
Note: We are just exchanging opinions. I agree and disagree with you in some issues.
Just as if you have question why you see protesters on streets.
The protesters want Thailand to turn to a republic. And they are brianwashed by opposition leader's propoganda. But they are a minority. Most Thais love the constitutional monarchy.
I have a home in Thailand. Just came back two months ago. Airport taxis still try the 'meter don't work'. Immigration laws constantly change. This year I got fined for not reporting in to immigration within 24 hours of arriving in the Country. I landed in BKK at night, got a hotel and next morning headed out to my home. I was fined for not reporting in to immigration within 24 hours. Don't get me started on Thai police stopping you because you are a foreigner. Always get an international license and apply for a Thai license when possible.
awesome stuff!
Love the “Twat Packers”😂. Interesting vlog, I enjoyed it. Just subbed too! 👍🏻
haha, glad you liked it. I made this video so long ago, I can't believe it keeps getting views/ Thanks for subbing
Land borders and 100x more relaxed and chill than airports.
True. Depending on the border
Love being American. I do respect people, who are respectful. Wherever you go, you take yourself. You are so correct. Content of character of the individual is 2hat you need to learn and understand.
hahahaahha
As a Thai, one thing I totally agree with you is that many taxis and Tuk-Tuk tried to scam tourists or Fa-rang(foreigners). But guess what! Thai people also get the same bad experience taking taxis in Thailand(Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Chiang Mai). These taxis are bad, but not all taxi drivers are like that. Usually they are mostly on the tourist area.😀
yes, true. GRAB is a great soloution
Number #6. Lack in driving laws and not having proper driving lessons in the country. Sooo many traffic officers not doing thier job and enforcing such basic driving laws. Improper learning so most dont even know basic road.signs and speeds... And 50% of the drivers on the road not having a license at all. But never caught.
cant argue with that
I think he talk truth. We should find best way to resolve the problem otherwise make clearly understand more for foreigner.
Hey Thanks for commenting Somchaii.:)
As a Thai, I dont understand discrimination pricing as well. But it really exists. I ask many Thais they said a privilege given to local but in term of tourism, tourists should be given a higher privilege.
yes the pricing should be Tourist or Local. Not Forreigner or Thai
It’s blatant racism
I'm thai i agree with everything you are said,love to have more people like you in Thailand and Thai immigration should allows good farang to have residence visa for at lease two years
Thank you so much for your comment, it means a lot! :D
can not find your group,, do you have a link:?
@@yu-yh8dk there are good and bad farangs just like there are good and bad thais. พวกที่มาเมืองไทยเพื่อมั่วสุมเรื่องยาและเรื่องผู้หญิงคงอยู่ได่ไม่นานเพราะกฎหมายเข้มงวดมากขึ้น. พวกนี้ควรต้องไล่ออกให้หมด. มีเยอะที่ย้ายมาเมืองไทยเพราะรักประเทศเราก็มี. ดีแล้วครับที่ไม่เกิดเรื่อง.
About 'never being Thai;' is it literally impossible to become a citizen of Thailand, or is it simply a matter of the Thai people being culturally reluctant to accept you as one of their own?
It is very hard to gain thai citezenship but bot impossible
You will always be concidered farrang even if you are born here
1ex1uger Thailand people think if you are not Thai you are worse than a dog..check out the Thai thinking..the king is tops then its monks then is politicians then is the police or military then it's Thai males then it's Thai females and Farangs are way down the list after dogs
@@joemaguire5575
We respect the rights and freedoms of others if they do what is right. And does not affect national security
May come from the past, the countries around us were occupied by Western nations And cause us to lose some land and skin color differences
@@kimjongun5612 you sound like a politician or police and you seem to know what is right and what does not affect nationalist security is what you think is right...you do not seem to be a normal citizen with an independent mind
Great vlog Frazier. The immigration/visa issue does not really worry me as it has improved so much. I am on a retirement visa so that does simplify things. In the past it was almost impossible to get a retirement visa. A friend of mine was left with an application pending for around 5 years on a retirement extension. He had to report to immigration every 60 days to be told the application was still pending. This was the mid 1990's.
Love your presentation style, keep up the good work.
Hi Andy, thanks for the comment, I have only been in Thailand since 2012. so I can only base my opinion on the time I have spent here.
good to hear that overall things are improving though.
Thanks for sharing your opinions about Thailand. And after all you still love living here. When Thai people call you as a Fa-rang(westerner) This does not mean in negative way. Most of the time they feel good to see you. They call as they see you, even the japanese who stay here for a long time and have family here, they would be call as Khon Yee-poon(Japanese) if they don't know the name of this japanese guy. So my point to you is that Thai people always welcome everyone who wants to live here.
Thanks for sharing
I understand how you sufferred with something. I didn't get what the purpose of this video when you said you love Thailand. You didn't live in Bangkok.
Hi Pinky, Thanks for checking out my Video. I also made a video about the reasons I love Thailand: czcams.com/video/m3fMsNLPA_o/video.html
But to be honest both of these are one of my first ever videos on youtube to try and gain views with titles like this. And it worked a s a great way to kick of my channel. every country has negatives and positives and I wanted to share both sides for people who may be thinking about living in Thailand. I have lived in Bangkok before but right now I live in Hat Yai.
have a nice day
Frazer Hatyai
Btw I'm half Thia half English and I live in England and tell your friend that the politics ain't shit ( thank you for letting me know)
Awesome, why would you choose to live in England when you could live in Thailand (a much better country than England)
Although, ลูกกรุง can have a hard time here in thailand as many Thais do not consider them true Thai people. although some use it to their advantage. anyway, sorry to hear you Live in England, it must be really horrible.
Free health care, free dental, no "under the table payments", clear and concise paperwork, health laws and regulations, higher pay, more disposable income, less road deaths, less pollution, cleaner streets, no flooding, a stronger passport for travel, police who are likely to solve crimes, no mosquitoes and the list goes on. I love Thailand but I also love England. No one country is better or worse, they both have advantages and disadvantages. Seeing as you hate England so much, never return.
SmallManBigWorld but most women in England are ugly and fat where as in Thailand most guys can pump a nice looking honey
Your mom was a gogo girl ?
Even though I'm Thai I agree with you all 5 things haha. But I'm glad you are living in Thailand!
wow
Thailand has tourists from all over the world come to visit some people to work. Come to contact business or come to live permanently Diversity allows you to meet all types of people. If you do not do what the society does not accept and is not illegal You will have a happy life in Thailand.ยินดีต้อนรับสู่ประเทศไทย
ok
He gets to the point at 2:10
Like it? :)
Thanks buddy
Unlike yourself, I'm ditching the coat and tie forever when I get there! Cheers from the USA, mate and I enjoy your videos and am subscribed. I don;t know if Thailand will be a permanent stop for me, but I intend to visit. I'm looking more to the DR, Brazil or other SA country when I can finally escape.
Hi man, thanks for commenting, as a 25 year old, I am not ready for retirement yet. even if I could, I would die of boredom. some prefer South East Asia, others prefer South America. the only way to know is to try them both. what Part of Thailand would you like to travel to?
to live in Thailand so easy, no matter who you are, just think good, say good, do good! that's all!! guys don't get confuse!!!
toatally agree!
Yeah do what your are told by idiots
So NOT true
Pure BS
How on earth can you be wearing a suit jacket in all that heat but not be sweating like a farm animal? Impressive!
it was a relatively cool day in Thai standards
I have 4 hives, soon will have 6. It is a very enjoyable interesting hobby. Once it is set up, you just need to go thru the hives every 10-14 days
Awesome, I will have to speak to my Thai Fiancé about doing it.
Why did you leave out the air pollution?
don’t live where they have that
Man this country friggin sucks i've been there many times and everything seems terribly overcharged for tourists, never come there again
Yup mate this place is only enjoyable for alpha males. Beta males get fucked in the ass on arrival
Frazer Hatyai hahahaha best comment of the day
This is my country DONT JUDGE IT
he said if you didnt like Thailand you can go back to your own country i like thailand but i am born at thailand-
Just come across your channel. I'm Thai, I agree and like your attitude as if you are Thai yourself. Thank you for your contributions desiring to improve our practices (both Thai and farang) for the better. Lovely, I wish you stay here happily as long as you want . And be part of our Thai soceity. คุณเป็นคนนิสัยน่ารักครับเฟรเซอร์.. ขอบคุณครับ :D
Hi, thankyou for Subscribing. I love living here in Thailand. your written English is very good! I think you would find my most recent Interview video interesting with Rati from Bangkok. we talk about Thais Learning English in Thailand and why they often struggle. czcams.com/video/clqSWPliIHo/video.html
yes, i got kicked off of ThaiVisa because i was always battling w/the Thai-bashers; they ganged up on me,
called me pejorative things and derided me for "going native", so many haters on TVF!!!
w/exception of national parks, i speak Thai and get discounts same as Thai people; i'm referred to by Thai friends
as "kon Thai" and "mamuang", not farang...
+jenifer divine thats awesomw jenifer. Great to see a farang who really seems to have integrated well into thai culture, hope you enjoy my videos
likewise i'm sure :-) (i've got 29 music videos, including one song in Thai language!!!)
I know what you mean about Thai Visa, they did the same thing to me on there. There is whole gang of twats on there that think that because they have lived in Thailand for a while that their s**t does not stink, and they think they know more about Thailand than the Thais. They like to use terms like " If you want OUR help " or " Stay where you are WE don't want you here "
They get off on insulting people from the safety of their keyboards. They remind me of an old saying " I would not want to be a member of any club, that would have me as a member. "
agreed
+El Diablo yes, and for me the worst part of it was that they constantly attacked me for "going native", for speaking and reading and writing Thai, and insinuated that i was deluding myself that i had Thai friends and neighbors who cared about me and didn't just see me as an ATM...
love that old saying, btw, attributed to the immortal Groucho Marx
It would be better to turn the camera around and let us see the scenery.
cool, ill try it next time

Do you think High Speed Rail would work in Thailand? Like the bullet train Japan is famous for
sure, it would be great!
Annoy you a little bit. Not things you dwell on or really bother you. How do those comments in your opening justify HATE in your title???
I lied, I put Hate in the title as Click Bait.
I was born in thailand
I cant buy my dream shipping
But i will have to accept it
dalmation 1999 i dont understand
Idk
I heated there have many scammers in Bangkok it's true?
yup
Hope you enjoy living in Thailand and this is great vid.
Thankyou very much :) I really love living in this beautifull country
Sorry to see that the comments below are so negative. "Moaning farangs" they are. And the one below, called "A google user"...he is a hero... The only thing that I can complain about in the video, is that you said that negative critisism is ok, but you did not have so much of that yourself. But except that, I agree with you. Kind regards, Jonas from Sweden
thanks for checking out my Video and commenting Jonas from sweden :)
hi!!! thanks for subbing, i am pleased to return the favor!!!
btw, have brand new song just released ystrdy: czcams.com/video/-oXEQ6cAnIo/video.html
let's have a coffee or a meal or whatever next time you're near Krabi probvince or i'm in Hat Yai
(i often go to Betong, in Yala, and must pass through Hat Yai to get there)
sure thing. have an awesome day!
I agree on 5 things but one point I am so tired with a lot of foreigners who always complain about paying extra for Thai national tickets. Men you should consider about paying ticket higher than Thai people. When international students study not in their country, do you know how many doubles do they have to pay for their tuition? How much they pay white immigrant workers more than Thai people as some position? This is you should know why you have to pay more than Thai people for Thai national. Thai government asks Thai people to support Thai national such as Park, Museum, some temples because they want all Thai access those things. Thai tax money is supporting to maintain those things. Do you know how much Thai people have to pay a visa fee just applying the application when we have to go to some countries such as USA, UK, or in Europe just to step on those lands. This is more information, so you might not think what you are paying extra is only contribute the country.
HI Oh Janmekha, I tottally agree. double pricing exists one way or another everywhere in the world. as I mentioned in my video as I just wanted to be accepted same as a Thai person as I love Thailand, live here and pay tax here, nowadays I look at it a different way, I am lucky to be able to proudly pay more than Thai people to support parts of a country I really love and I also now know I will never be able to become Thai or be seen as Thai - British. I will always be 'Farang' unlinke Thais who immigrate to USA or UK they can be accepted as American People or British people if they live and pay tax there.
oh and Thanks for checking out my Video and commenting Oh
interesting, thanks for sharing. sad to see that they can not see past the skin colour and still call them farang :(
Can you name centuries that have all Pros without Cons? don't get me wrong that you are so negative about Thailand, but I think farang in Thailand can't compare between expat (or you call immigrant) in UK or USA. A ton of foreigners come to Thailand to complain without reasonable and with ignorantly and then just forget why they come to Thailand and forget they own country's problem.
totally agree with you Alex. so many forget why they moved to Thailand in the first place. Every country has pros and cons but for me here in Thailand I don't really notice the cons.
In Thailand, a Buddhist country, you get back what you give out with positive energy. I've been several times and some expats are boorish and they wonder why. There is a reason why I travel with a friendly Thai friend that gets me local prices. Long time pays for itself ;)
true, I am a big believer in karma
You obviously know nothing about living in Thailand
clueless
Great video! your story about Hatyai, I wish i could speak better in English as you do!
Channel Subbed :)
Thanktou for subscribing mate, hopw you like my Videos.
Always! and enjoy! :)
Agreed on all 5 points!
For the fees for tourists and Thai nationals to enter some temples and national parks, I think you answer it already, thank you for your understanding.
Let me give you my experience in Australia where I was educated, foreign students like me had to pay double of what Australian students paid for university fees. And that's a lot of money. In Thailand if you go to private school or university Thai & foreign students pay the same rate.
So I think every country has Pros & Cons, depend on how you look at it.
yes, I study at uni in Thailand and also pay more than locals.
I have lived in Australia and for all tourist things the price for me and locals was the same.
The problem is not that tourists have to pay more. I think that is ok. The problem is that people who live and work here, even have family and children here still have to pay more.
A rich Thai business man pays less than a hard working Farrang Teacher.
Thats not fair.
@@FrazerHatyai I was talking about school fees and university fees in Australia. The foreign students pay double of local student.
@@FrazerHatyai You have made your point for saying that you are a resident and working here and should pay the same rate or even exemted same as the local when go to national parks or go to some temples. I agree with you but how would they know that you work and live in Thailand. If they allow for such request, then you have to carry all documents to prove it to get these rate same as the local?! what is the chances of you going to places like that anyway?! There are more 40,000 temples in Thailand, more than 99% there is no tourist entrance fee.
And those officials in national parks or temples that collect the fees, they just try to do their job, as you already mentioned in your video.
@@FrazerHatyai When I studied in Australia I had a part-time job in a hotel, and I also pay tax for Australian government. But still I paid my school fees almost double of the local students paid. And guess what the rich Australian business man paid the school fees for their children just about half of what I paid too(Do you think it's fair?) I'm talking about ten of thousands of AUD each year per student. But I never complaint about it, because I knew the rules & regulations since I first went there. It was my choice to go or not to go.
I wish that foreigners would accept rules & regulations here in Thailand too. The only temple entrance fee that is expensive is the temple of Emerald Buddha cost 16-17USD(500 Baht) other temples or national parks or cost between 1.60-3.2USD(50-100 Baht)
I hope it is not a lot of money too complaint, all fees are to help to maintenance the historical temples and the national parks. I texted you before that 99% of temples are free to visit, so as most of the places in Thailand. Since you are living in Thailand you should know about it.
@@KV-rs6de you dont actually pay more for university than Australian students. The difference is Australians have tuition subsidised by the government so they don't have to pay the full cost, they pay part and the government pay the rest.
International students pay full because the government doesn't pay part for them.
This is not the same as charging more for tourist attractions.
all western countries charge the same for Local and International tourists.
I think Thailand should too and so do many many others, they even created this website so that tourists can avoid places with unfair charges: 2pricethailand.com/
were you born in thailand?
I was born in the north of England, UK. I first moved to Thailand when I was 18, I am 25 now
What language are you bleeting
English mate :)
I'm still learning as a surgeon it's a bit to early to go back
That is so cool. I have a lot of respect for people who dedicate there lives to that kind of Career, best of luck on completing your studies buddy
Don't use or put up with being called a farang it is a racist term.
I really dont care. Words are worda.
It's certainly not a racist term. What makes you think that?
Your #2 I'm going over in November to check it out for 3 weeks. I'd like to work in the Fitness Industry if I decide to move there. I'll be 50. Do you think I should apply for a retirement Visa and then get a work permit? Or just get a work Visa?
a retirement Visa may be best to start with
but I would do your own research, arriving on a tourist visa and then deciding what to do is also an option, you wont be able to get a Work permit and Non B visa until you already have a job
Thanks Dude :)
I’m going for three weeks recon so all I need is my passport this time. Not looking forward to the 37 hours flying ✈️ 😂
Frazer Hatyai Loves Thailand that’s what I needed to know though , I think I’m doing it right. Take a va ca...ask around at the gyms...see what turns up. Then head Home get my affairs in order and come back for good
I love Thailand too but you left out pollution, prostitution. Every time I have trash to throw away, I can't find a trash can. Have to hold my trash until I find one. Everyone thinks the ground is a perfect place to throw their garbage, which is the worst thing in the world. Why is it that you did not mention it? Much worse than any of your complaints! Do you like litter and prostitution?
I agree mate, prostitution Is in every county though, but yer the littering can be annoying, I just think the five I mentioned were the worst things littering would be 6
Are you serious? Prostitution is way over the top than most countries. Litter and pollution is the worst of anything. The things you mentioned are things that effect you personally, but pollution is by far the worst thing about Thailand. The water is so polluted and trash everywhere. If the other things are more of a problem to you, that's sad because this would is going down because of this carelessness.
Junior Morris firstly with regards to prostitution. i thought you might find these facts interesting:
money spent on prostitution
China: $73 Billion
Spain: $26.5 Billion
Japan: $24 Billion
Germany: $18 Billion (Legal Industry)
United States: $14.6 Billion
South Korea: $12 Billion
India: $8.4 Billion
Thailand: $6.4 Billion
Philippines: $6 Billion
Turkey: $4 Billion
you should focus your concern to the US, spain, germany and China, not Thailand
secondly, i am not sure what you mean by the world is going down or why you have such a negative outlook but i think the world is going up and negativity is a zero return investment. what are you doing about the issues you mentioned?
i simply talked about what i dislike about living in Thailand.
Greg I was wondering the same
www.havocscope.com/prostitution-revenue-by-country/
In general Thai people will always treat white foreigners as outcasts, that is the cold hard truth regardless of what this particular individual tries to tell you. Thailand is not for everyone... you will have to accept being treated as an outcast and second class citizen with no respect and with no path to permanently residency. I have learned to treat Thai people the same way they treat me. No tips, no “real” smiles, no help, and no respect what so ever. If your okay with that then you might be barely content here.
interesting
shouldn't you be wearing summer stuff i live in thailand and im a english person too...
I am used to the weather
Nonsense! An Asian who immigrate to USA would always be treated differently from a European.
wow really? I guess USA is far behind the UK in this matter then.
I disagree. An Asian in the USA is treated just like everyone else. There is certainly no such thing as double pricing. A place would probably go out of business if they were caught double pricing.
that’s what I thought too Chris, and it is what I have heard from Asian Americans.
Double pricing in the USA would be considered discrimination. There are laws against discrimination in the USA.
I'm not talking about double pricing but in job promotion, civil service, universities etc. All the top jobs go to the white people. Do you ever had an Asian president or CEO in a big company?
I have lived here 11 yrs.........great place to live for many reasons
totally agree. most of my videos talk about why I love this country
I also hate my country (thai) because Traffic jam and the weather is so hottttt
I love Taiwan
'Twatpackers', love that! You can please some of the people some of the time, but you cant please all the people all of the time. keep up the good work mate.
hi j h, thanks for taking the time to check out my video, totally agree. I will be posting a new video in the next couple days
hahahaha thabkyou JH
7:40 IDK those "Antique" rail Cars were pretty interesting
yes, kinda cool to walk over that bridge
Tuk tuks can be helpful. I don't mind paying the same rate as a taxi if I need a ride. Many tuk tuk drivers are very flexilble. They are trying to make a living with a vehicle that is being slowly phased out. Give them a fair price and be happy you have a ride.
True in some places although hard to get a price that is not more than what you would pay with a grabtaxi or taxi meter
Hi there of cause you'll never be a Thai. It's a bit like, if a dog is born in a stable, it doesn't make it a horse.
interesting analogy lol but yes true, not something that bothers me, I am happy to be accepted as a Farang in Thailand that Loves this country
I read your statistics report. They are gaging by several sources. On is police arrest, so this is not accurate, because in Thailand, it's illegal but, no one get arrested for it or very little. If the police did get someone, most likely will be paid to go away.
interesting, thanks for taking the time to research a little more
I be going end of January!! For a month! Meet a friend for now 😉
nice1
This video is so relatable
in what way Mrlron?
This video can also be viewed on danaboutthailand.com
Your videos really do seem like you're trying to suck up to someone. Those old foreigners do complain, but it doesn't mean they're always wrong. When multiple people have the same experience, they share it and then you see a lot of it from different groups. I don't have as many negative ideas, but I do accept that those things do happen.
I've learned that the "twatpackers" aren't necessarily the worst.....The people that call themselves teachers are usually alcoholic ladies men... The people that choose to stay here are usually worse than the tourists.
You won't be considered Thai because "Thailand is for Thai". The laws are aimed to only benefit Thai..This is why it isn't feasible to start a business there. YOu'll notice a lot of old men who bought houses here for their Thai wives, only to end up homeless in Thailand, potentially being deported.
Hi Toboticeye. thanks for taking your time to comment. I am not sucking up to anyone, these really are my opinions and things I do not like about Thailand. I could have gone deeper into the problems of double pricing/scams and being overpriced because you are white and immigration issues. I agree hat Thailand is for Thais, and that the Laws are aimed to benefit Thais, and rightly so in my opinion. on your point about Teachers in Thailand. I used to be a full time teacher here and I have to agree that many of my coworkers were alcoholics or three month backpackers. But things are changing now with better background checks and higher requirements for Teachers.
I also agree that the old foreigners do complain and are sometimes right, but most of the time they know nothing about thailand out of their bar stool in pattaya or their thai girlfriend in her 20s and her family up in issan who they send money to each month.
on your last point about the old men who lose houses and businesses to their thai wives, that is usually down to their bad decision when chosing a life partner, going for a uneducated bar girl who is 30 years younger than they are.
roboticeye the reason so many foreigners have the same experiences/opinions is that they come here
like modern-day colonists, not bothering to learn the language and hanging out w/other (s)expats in bars,
hooking up w/uneducated Isaan bargirls 20-40 years their junior...
i don't hang out with ANY farangs here who don't bother to even attempt to speak Thai
(they all resent me, anyways, for doing my best to speak and read and write and understand Thai,
as well as embracing Thai lifestyle and culture)
Jenifer, I am male and my wife is French. There isn't just stupid Issan bar girls who are uneducated. 90 % of the country have no idea where any country outside of Thailands border countries are. Thai schools have the third highest number of school holidays in the world. Keep them dumb and they won't ask questions. Give them money and they will vote for who you want.
When their farang eventually gets a visa to to take her out of the country, she is only fit for cleaning in a hotel until she finds another farang with more money.
And yes, I can speak (if the Thai is willing to listen) and can read and can copy words.
tommysil or try and get Thai citizenship, but you'd have to denounce your country's citizenship. Then you're allowed to buy land.
Is in hatyai??
Yes in HatYai! XD
Please invest in a camera gimbal 555

“If you don’t like me , you can go back to your own country “ 😂💯 I’m agree... lol but a lot of people love Thailand
Start End as do i
Frazer Hatyai idk... are you? Loll
no
ลองฟังเค้าพูดก่อนดีมั้ย...เค้าตั้งชื่อ Video อย่างนั้นแต่มันไม่ใช่.
if you want to live and teach in Thailand try our new website Kruplus.com it's in English and Thai languages
Thanks for your comment, your website looks like it could do with a redesign. The music that hits you once the website loads is a big putoff, and it doesn't seem to be optomised for mobile devices. I like the content of your website but without a redesign I don't think people will visit your website over alternatives such as Ajarn.com If you want your website redesigning at a fair price PM me.
here you can see an unfinished website I recently designed: www.flairtalk.online

What i don't like is when you try to order something in Thai, they will then go back to their friends and mock your order as if you are not present, right in front of you. A bunch of impolite rascals is what they are I'm afraid.
I do the same after a night out while drunk leaving a chinese takeaway in the UK.
Imagine what a chinese person in the west sounds like when they speak broken English. That is what you sound like to them. They find it cute and funny, it isnt racism.
@@FrazerHatyai yea I hear "narak" thrown around by Thai girls too but probably at my face.
@@vetiarvind improve your pronunciation and intonation then if you are so easily offended
wow! my grandpa live in Hatyai
very cool! I love Hatyai. best city in the world!
You are not overcharged, but Thais are undercharged comparing to how much you have to pay in your home country, right?
Sakkosol Subhamanee no, free for all in my old ccountry
What would the world be like if men weren't interested in sex Thailand would be in deep dodo
Not really. The sex industry is less than 0.1 percent
Do u think thai police are watching this your comments are paranoid
No Mr Qwer, I don't
Hey! I'm from thailand!!!! Don't be rude! I'll dislike!!!
Hi, what part of the video do you think is rude
5:56 I could never say that.
why so?
What about freedom of speech ?
UK doesnt have that either anymore
Aren't you complaining as well..
shit, you are right!
"" WOW '' why would want to be Thai ??? just live and let live, and went you feel it's time to move on, that what I will do. peace
Peace dude!
I think he wants to feel "belong". Not necessarily being "Thai". He wants to feel accepted as the general population. This is a basic human nature. We are a social creature.
I THINK YOU MAY BE RIGHT, PEACE. @@patrickp992
Unite the human race!
Thank you
no worries
คนดีไม่ดีมีทุกที่ในโลกเลือกอยู่ที่เรารับได้ก็พอในชีวิตหนึ่งคนเรา
Thankyou :)
I don't agree with you on the second point about being accepted.
my opinions have changed on that two over the last 2 years since making this video
In thailand with tie and suit ???? ????

Yeah well thailand is a Kingdom, America is a country established by colonies.

Ah Hat yai Lobinsons,you go kfc?lol.
Mike Berg i am heading to mood cafe for a meetup

Let's see where you are living in 5 years?
I would be surprised if it is not Thailand. but nobody can predict the future. Singapore and Malaysia is nice too
Tommy Ross Yep
@@joemaguire5575 3 years left before I can answer this - still Thailand
Umm but i don't hate american
อั้ม สมวรรณ์ i dont hate Americans too 😁
For elephant riding in Thailand, the owner treat their elephants as a member of their family, like their own child. These elephants has been house breed over century(not capture from the wild). It is part of their culture to train elephant(some tribes are well known for training elephant such as Kui people, Karen people) in North and North Eastern of Thailand.
I think circus or aquarium around Europe or in America is more to criticize for animal cruelty.
there are no animal circuses in America and UK anymore. it was banned for cruelty a long time ago. you only see this in movies.
If you only knew what it takes to train a seeing eye dog for the blind or a service dog.
hi, Charles your comment makes no sense, could you rephrase it?
Some of us would actually be interested in knowing about that , so ,please do tell .
40 celcius degree but wearing suite?? really???!!!!
the weather was cool that day
😁😊
thankyou
I have one thing I don't like about Taiwan it's similar with you. I don't like being eternally labeled a foreigner.
However other than that in Taiwan there is not tourist price , there is no exploiting foreigners here . We all pay the same price. Haggling is also none existent. Women aren't gold diggers here , you never see some retired old man with a young 20 year old girl here . And if you marry a Taiwanese girl don't worry you won't be responsible for financially support her entire family. And things like brothels exist here but actually not many sexpats go to them it's more for local people like that stuff...b
nice, will have to check out Taiwan one day
Women are gold diggers most places
how come your not sweating like hell ,in a shirt tie and jacket
it was a relatively cool day
What accent is that supposed to be?
SmallManBigWorld it is a new hybrid mate, i designed it myself.
Ah, I see now, you've developed that pseudo-american accent that many Brits do when they're overseas talking to foreigners.
sounds about right
SUIT?aviators?stay awesome?a crew cut?youll get a SAffa accent soon!Still imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!.Viewers utube Serpentza
thankyou
1:10 oh no! Why
because of the others involved
