Thailand is one of my best favorite country in the world!
Love to thailand🇹🇭 from japan🇯🇵
We love Japan too♥️
tbh I don't really like Japan historically during the Japanese Empire but i love modern Japan, welcome!
I’m from Thailand so hi 🇹🇭
เคยรู้ไหมในทุกๆประเทศทั่วโลก คนไทยชอบคนญี่ปุ่นที่สุด😊
ขอบคุณมากคร้บ อยากบอกว่าคนไทยทุกคนรักและชอบประเทศญี่ปุ่นมากที่สุด
My Aunt visited Thailand 🇹🇭 with some of her friends. When she came back home, she couldn't stop speaking about the food, hospitality and the beauty of the country. Would love to visit. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦 👌👍👊😉
I have a friend who lives in Johannesburg and he said that it’s very beautiful there! I’d love to visit South Africa one day 🇹🇭❤️🇿🇦
@@drift752 That's awesome. I'm from Cape Town(Born and Bred), but have family in Johannesburg as well. You more than welcome🙂🙂🙂
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm from Japan , Thailand it's the best country in South East Asia. My dad have been working in phuket be a engineer. My dad said this country have a lot of beautiful things traditions, food , and others love thailand from Japan 🇯🇵❤️🇹🇭
as you all said Thailand has many things for us to discover many new things. love from UK 🇬🇧❤️🇹🇭
❤love Japan too from 🇹🇭 Thailand, and we welcome to Thailand ❤
คนไทยจะรักคนญี่ปุ่นมากที่สุด เพราะคนญี่ปุ่นมีบางอย่างคล้ายคนไทยคือสำรวม เกรงใจ ให้เกียรติผู้อื่น แม้ว่าในอดีตคนไทยจำนวนไม่น้อยอพยพมาจากจีนและมีลักษณะแบบคนจีน แต่ทุกวันนี้ได้หลอมรวมและกลมกลืนกัน และพวกเขาเป็นคนไทยสมบูรณ์แบบ ไม่เชื่อไปถามเขาดู เขาภูมิใจในความเป็นไทย แม้ว่าจีนจะยิ่งใหญ่แค่ไหน เพราะเราเชื่อมั่นว่าจิตใจของเราให้เกียรติคนชาติอื่นมาก และนี่ที่เรารักญี่ปุ่น
Love Japan, too, from Thailand! I thought Thai people were a bit too laid off for Japanese preference. Hahaha
Love Japan from Laos 🇯🇵 ❤️ 🇱🇦
Fun fact: Thailand drives on the left because of (indirect) British influence. The Japanese started exporting many vehicles to Thailand and also helped a lot with their transportation infrastructure. The Japanese themselves drive on the left because the British built their railways and then roads followed suit.
Thailand also border British colonies like Myanmar/Burma and Malaysia which also drives on the left,
In the case of Myanmar, their dictator leader woke up one day and have a divine dream that everyone should drive on the right in the 70s.
I would say not likely true. Left side driving seems to start before WW I in Thailand due to the need to seamlessly connecting with British colonized neighbors as well as the meter gauge rail system( as you said). Japanese auto builders only came in the 60s ,quite late in time though slowly but strongly predominating the Thai auto market to date. Coincidently that Thai and Japan both have the same driving rule on the left.
No my friend, there are really a lot of Japanese that love Thai and have been moved to lived here in Thailand like over 100,000+ population but in terms of the transportation infrastructure were all about auction my friend, they didn't help Thailand it's because there are a lot of companies fought for those projects and yes probably what you saw many times were the Japanese company won but not most of them my friend they had to competed with others company in Thailand to won the auction too to worked on those project, and like I saw about 25 years ago when you have a big project such as big long second or third floors Toll way, BTS skytrain or MRT underground train they still have a lot of companies from many countries worked together because it's really a big project and what I've seen too like you was one of them always the Japanese company it's probably because they are professional and won because sent a good price at auction but ofcourse not only the Japanese company worked on those project, like when we built the MRT 25 years ago we called Joint-Venture BCKT as a name of a company because we have 4 company doing work together only dig the tunnal hole itself for the MRT underground train already used the machine fromThai company+Japan company+ Germany company. We have to do together because it was a really big project. If it's not that big project, Yes probably they could do that project by only 1 big company and that's mean only one country do that project.
Just like we Thai company just already completed built the First SkyTrain for Bangladesh people it's called the Dhakha Metro Rail Project, and they already tested the train to use since last year.
Britons invented everything. Just ask them.
As a Thai that lives in Malaysia for nearly whole life, what a good episode.
The only thing that lacks is the true Thai comfort food, Ka praw 😅
I was a Thai person who lived in Malaysia before as well สวัสดี
Ahahaha I was too surprised they didn't mention it. Ka praw is like the Thai burger. Comfort, cheap and available everywhere. I love this country
Pad Ka Prao is the most wholesome meal ever. Don’t forget the sunny side up egg

I am Thai ครับ and I from จันทบุรี
Love Thailand from Brazil 🇧🇷♡🇹🇭
I visited Thailand 8 times. I love the vibes of Bangkok, beautiful scenery in the southern part, hospitable people and the friendliest environment for the tourists. Thank you Thailand for being such an awesome country. ❤ from Bangladesh
Siam and sri lanka are friends since ancient times😊🇱🇰love from srilanka.
As a Tai Ahom from Assam 🇮🇳, Northeast India, Thailand is like my solace purely because I relate with everything there. From language, food, dresses, culture to looks, I feel more connected to this land than any other place. I highly recommend anyone from Northeast India especially the Tai communities to atleast pay a visit once, in order to know how a Tai speaking community lives.
I have personally visited Thailand 3 times. Covered most of the regions. My favourite city has to be Chiang Mai. Can't wait to be back again soon to discover even more.
ขอบคุณมาก
🇮🇳🇹🇭
Love you from Thailand

I went to Phuket, Thailand via a cruise and enjoyed it so much! 🫶 Literally had the fullest meal ever there! Love from fellow ASEAN Singapore 🇸🇬❤️🔥🇹🇭
As a Burmese,I feel really close to Thailand even though we had wars in the past,when I visited Thailand for the first time,the tour guide are really friendly and singing for us in the bus on the way to the market we visited,some Thai people took me for a Thai when I stopped by and asked how much is that, overall Thailand is the land of friendly people.
the new gen actually didn’t care about the wars anymore. we should progress together!
I am Thai and I used to visit Myanmar and so much impression for people, and we are Buddhism and very impression for faith of Burmese to Buddhist🙏🏻 Myanmar is my favorite country, I love in your faith and soul, Burmese are nice.
Love to burmese
Lots of love to my Burmese friends🎉
Burmese is trouble maker in ASEAN...
I love Thailand's great people, food, culture, and beautiful environment. As a Lao-America, I agree that both Lao and Thai share a similar culture and language. Regardless of history, we are one. Love from Lao. 🇱🇦 🤍 🇹🇭

@@captlove8788 yes, unlike Vietnamese 😂
Love Indonesia from Thailand
Indonesia is paradise on earth! Love, from Thailand
We love Indonesia!
Thailand is a beautiful place, I love how close the Indian and Thai cultures are. When I first went to Thailand, I was fascinated by your jiggly-wiggly letters, similar to our Indian scripts and some Ramayana excerpts in the form of Drama, as we do Ramlila in India. But, i couldn' t make any from the language which seemed very sinitic and cute to me, with the tones. Plus, being from Odisha state of India, we had trade relations with Thai kingdoms too.
Love this episode!
Thailand is amazing and Thai people are indeed very nice! Had to laugh when you say “not Taiwan”. As a Taiwanese living abroad, I often have to say “we are not Thailand” 🤣
Being a Thai myself, I'm really excited to see this episode. Aside from the puns and the pronunciations, I think you've done a great job. One thing I'm rather disappointed about is that there's no mention of my home province Buriram. Buriram is a province located on the southern part of Isan. It is where the Panom Rung castle (a castle that works kinda like the Stonehenge ie the sunset will align along the middle of castle sometime in a year) and the Khao Kradong (one of the few dormant valcanos in Thailand) are located. Really want you guys to cover that. But other than that, I think you guys have done great job on this episode.
@Yesus You're a gross man just trying to get other men to click on your profile.
I'd love to visit Buriram one day. From Vietnam.
@@OC-CPA OH MY!
you're so right.
"aside from the puns" haha
i'm thai too.
As a Vietnamese i adore Thailand, i have so many friends who are mix Thai so i get to experience their culture 1st hand n i love it. So beautiful and colourful 💖🇹🇭 💛🇻🇳
Are Most Vietnamese Buddhist like Thai,Cambodians,Burmese & Laos(Like Buddhist South-East Asian Neighbors)?
@@nncrystal7065 well there are influences from buddhism, but they merged into our very own folk religion, so called "Vietnamese folk religion"
@@quanquoctruong1276 Well I've also saw on Google that they follow mixture of Buddhism,Taoism, Confucianism & also worship local folk deities & ancestors
Does this make up the concept of "Vietnamese Folk Religion"?
Also saw there are about 8%-10% Christians & also religions like Hoahaoism,Caodaism(which I haven't heard before)
Looks like Vietnam is a multi religious country!
@@nncrystal7065 yup, we are quite free in regards to our religions. People believe what they believe.
@@nncrystal7065 yes that's mostly the concept of "Vietnamese Folk Religion", tho most of us just call ourselves Buddhist if we fallow it.
Hoahaoism n Caodaism are religions that were created here in vietnam.
Hoahaoism is like either like a folk religion or a sect of Buddhism.
While Caodaism is a new religious movement established in the city of Tây Ninh in southern Vietnam (this idk much about).
N indeed vietnam is a multi religious country, we except all beliefs here.
FYI: Tambralinga (ตามพรลิงก์) is the name of the long lost biggest kingdom of the south of Thailand which situated in nowadays Nakhon Sri Thammarat province and also the people from the south (like me) never call our home with this 'fantasy' word 😆 we just simply call it "Pak Tai" (ภาคใต้, ปักษ์ใต้)
Thailand has one of the best wildlife hotspot countries to visit in my opinion!

Nope ,Africa has that crown.
What is the best wildlife hotspot in Thailand?
@@KimAhrina11 mosquito in thailand they are so cute
I’m thai and i think one of the countries that we all love is japan 🇯🇵
Love from the United States of America to Thailand! 🇺🇸❤️🇹🇭
as a Filipino who studied in Thailand, it’s literally the best place I’ve visited so far. 💗
❤❤❤❤
I was so lucky to visit Thailand in 2018, still the best travel experience I ever had. Swimmed in the Maya Bay just before it was closed down. Such a nice people, made a lot of friends, will definitely come back! 🇹🇭💛
I miss Thailand very much, basically I travel to Thailand every year before pandemic hits. I hope can go there soon.
yall should add a section for public transports such as bus, subways, urban railways, of the biggest cities.
If they had that section, the US would have 1 sentece about their puplic transport and that is it
@Yesus what does that have to do with anything?
It’s already a 33 minute episode dude
Oh yea the public transport is sooo important that it deserves its own section in 20 minute + videos am I right guys?
@Yesus Thank you! Didn't ask!
I an happy to see a lot of hindu and buddhist influence in the thai culture. I was literally able to understand most of the thai words spoken in this video because of the mix of sanskrit and pali in their language. May god bless Thailand
Love that you had Thai people there to help present the episode ❤️
It really adds a great aspect to learning about Thailand
thailand is quite amazing, my grandma lives in Chiang Rai and ive been there lots of times

@Yesus I reported your gross video so nobody will ever click on it.
Thailand. A country of beautiful landscapes, culture, food and interesting history. Just like Poland! Greetings to Thailand from Poland! 🇵🇱🤝🇹🇭
สวัสดีคนโปแลน
โปแลน หรือ โปลิช???

As a Thai, one thing I love is the people. We tend to really to share our culture to others. Unfortunately, most of us can’t speak English, once we can we will not stop speaking until you are tired of it, but you won’t, believe me.
I can honestly say: this is my favorite channel on all of CZcams. I’m a flight attendant for a large US airline. I visit this channel WEEKLY as I’m traveling around the world. Gives me an incredible appreciation and small glimpse into the places I visit and the people on my flights. THANK YOU! Def think I would fangirl if I ever saw you on one of my flights hahaha
Perhaps you should join the team 😊
I've been to Thailand for a wedding among a lot of other countries. I would recommend Thailand as my number 1 place to visit. Beautiful people, the best food. Cheap prices. The beaches are paradise. I can't wait to go back. Go on a boat tour to the phi phi islands, it's absolutely insane
Yes, a tour to Phi Phi/Maya Bay was my favorite trip here in Thailand
I'm from thailand but I recommend going to Philippines Island since it's a fr paradise and it's the most beautiful beaches in southeast Asia
I'm here in Thailand right now for work and I was so excited to watch this episode! What wonderful timing. This series is divine - thanks team!
What work are you able to find in Thailand, as an expat?
As a Thai, I find this funny and enjoyable. Well done!
another informational, educational episode,
and not to forget, lovely co-hosts!
I'm kind of surprised they didn't talk about Prince Bira of Siam. He's the first Thai F1 driver and competed in the Olympics for sailing if I'm not mistaken. But still what an amazing video.
Did they mention how Rama VIII and Rama IX were born abroad and Rama IX became the only monarch born on American soil to rule a nation.

I have always felt like Thailand and Philippines are twins. Although they both don’t share borders, they are very similar in many ways. Greetings from Thailand’s 🇹🇭 southern neighbour, Malaysia 🇲🇾. Many Malaysians also have Thai descent.
I don’t see any similarities between PH and TH maybe with Indonesia but definitely not Thailand. Totally different.
As a Thai, we love the Philippines but we are quite different. I’d say we’re twins with Laos and siblings with Malaysia, Cambodia, and Indonesia
Twins don't necessarily need to be the same
@@Gebri3l that defeats the meaning of the metaphor lol. Lots of love for our sister country, the Philippines 🇵🇭🇹🇭♥️

I've lived in Thailand for over 2 years and still learned a lot from this video.
i miss Thailand, one of my favorite places
Thailand, it reminds me of relationships & events related to my country 🇮🇩 (don't forget history & love 🇹🇭 too from your neighbor country, Indonesia 🙂):
1. Rescue from an Indonesian plane hijacking at Don Moeang Airport in 1981 (aka Operation Woyla)
2. The handover of the Angklung musical instrument to Prince Bhanubhandu Savangwongse in 1908, then introduced it to his students of the art of music.
3. Cultural similarities in the Old Javanese era such as the Zodiac (in the Srivijaya era). If in Thailand the zodiac will be the month on the date
4. There are Javanese villages & Makkasan settlements
5. And many others
@RA Yup, and of course he presented a statue of an elephant which is now in front of the National Museum, Jakarta 👍. You can visit it too
Mau claim 😂😂

@@kakfafadillahe The 5th information you said is not true, Thailand is nothing like Indonesia, everything in Thailand is similar to India😠
❤❤❤❤
As someone who has met many natives IN Thailand I can say that these guests represent Thai people SO WELL. They are always friendly, open, fun and playful.
I was an exchange student in Thailand when I was in High School and that whole experience feels like the most delicious dream I’ve ever had.
Such a nice feeling to see this video after coming back from Thailand, definitely going back to this amazing country
Much Love To Thailand From Laos!!! 🇱🇦❤️🇹🇭
❤❤❤❤
After this video I got to know that Thai has A LOT of cultural connections with India, just as little simple things, like most people won't go to barbershops on Tuesdays, the names of the days in the week like Mon, Tues, etc connected to planets, and a lott I found very similar! Also, I find some common words to Indian languages for example the name of Thai international airport Suvarna Bhoomi, most of the Indian languages Suvarna means gold or good looking structure, Bhoomi means land or earth.
Yes, Suvannabhumi means golden land 😃
Im able to understand almost all words like tambralinga, and the big city name of bangkok and everything, that's incredible
Actually it's like is a hindu country with budhist philosophy!!!
In nowadays most barbershop in thailand aren't stop to service in wednesday but some of barbershop at rural area still close and not service in wednesday
Most of the bloodline shared among the population in the central part of Thailand is Mon.
Support you since I think azebaijan episode and also use your Brazil episode as my reference in my bachelor project. So the point is as a Thai, I really wait for Thailand episode and wonder how will u present it, appreciate the mentioning of lese majeste law and it role on WW2, it is essential for our situation right now.
Thank you so much for the content, really wonder how will u go after finishing Zimbabwe episode.
I hope to visit Thailand one day! I’ve heard nothing but good things and Thai food is my absolute favorite!
One of the greatest experiences I had was traveling to Thailand to teach music. I recommend any 'touristic' activity or location that are well known, but take a chance to and get in touch with local communities and 'normal' Thai. The respect they show to others is admirable, and they truly are the most polite and hospitable people I've met. Almost to the extreme, which will take some getting used to. If the whole world was a little more like Thailand, we'd have a lot more peace.
Also, you forgot a little detail in the friend zone. One of the oldest diplomatic relations in the world and in Thailand is between the royal families of Thailand and the Netherlands! Over 400 years of friendship!
I found interesting when people have amazing admirable but in other app like quora, people also comments about got rob/not that admirable thing etc in the local communities. Btw Asian in generally famous for their polite & hospitality
❤❤❤❤
Greetings from Boyolali, Central Java, Indonesia. Our king used to be really close. Several Siam kings visited Surakarta, Yogyakarta, and Mangkunegaran palace in Java when Java still under colonial rule, and have really good relationship that Rama V fascinated with Javanese culture. He even has a ton a collection of batik.
Wow, kulo nembe mawon ngertos saking panjenengan menawi wonten sejarahipun niku
I visit the Royal collections from time to time, and LOVE the richness of Javanese batik culture. One national artist, for fabric art, residing in Krabi in Southern Thailand, traces her lineage back to Java, when her family was invited to Siam with the blessings of the Yogyakarta court. Her works are amazing, and I an proud to own two pieces from her studio.
Aku wong Boyolali yoan mas, daerah Teras
Rama 5 also brought back rusa deers and water hyacinth from Java
A fun fact from Thailand. Rama V was also enthralled by the Javanese gardening so much that he brought some Javanese people to plant around Sanam Luang or Royal Field. So we still have citizens of Indonesian blood until now. 🇹🇭❤️🇮🇩
I went to Phuket on my honeymoon. Phi Phi Island is really a nature wonderland. Also, the color of the sea is beautiful.
Songkran is the thai word derived from the sanskrit word sankranti and is also the hindu new year throughout the indosphere-india, burma, srilanka, bali etc( celebrated as vishu, baisakhi ,puthandu, bihu etc all on the same day april 14 to 15).
Most of the similarities in culture and language are very evident and obvious to Indian ears, especially the names which have heavy sanskrit influence. Even the thai script is of tamil origin. Entering the airport one can definitely see heavy indian influence even in the airports name- suvarnabhumi which in sanskrit translates to golden land and the display of the hindu story samudra manthan.
Most would certainly forget that even today the priests of the royal family are hindu bramhins whose ancestors were brought to thailand from southern india to perform the rituals needed for the royal family and also introduce most of the common hindu rituals and practices.
The present day thai calender, astrology zodiac, ramakien, heavy thervada buddhism and even the traditional dresses like sabai (from saree)are derived from India. even the thai greeting customs is of indic origin.(sawadee with folded hands was)
In the modern world thais may forget their deep relationship with their Indian counterparts but we must not forget the tree who loses its roots is doomed for sure. Hope the two cultures reach their glory together and not lose it in the name of modernization.
Yasss I was waiting for Thailand for ages. I LOVE THAILAND SM.
Just left Thailand in December ,but we already missed being there ❤❤ love the foods 😊
Tambralinga is actually a name for an ancient kingdom located in southern Thailand.
ตามพรลิงค์
ancient name and the same reason they conquered the malaysian empire until the south of thailand became the property of thailand even though the islamic population there was large, did thailand propose a new border
@@afizi1213 Tambralinga It is an ancient kingdom centered in the present day nakhon si thammarat province. I live in the southern thailand. there are mostly buddhists and christians here. did you know that southern thailand has a population of about 7 million. and the total muslim population in thailand is about 2-7 million people.

We're in the Ts! It's getting close to the US! 12 countries away so at GN's pace, probably about a year away still...
Still, this was a great episode, and now I can know more about Thailand, aside from how much I love their food! I want some pickled crabs!
Also, Thai BL (LGBTQ web and TV drama) industry is very influential globally and they hold a large market share of the content produced around the world
สวสดีครับ
Greetings from Indonesia to my Thai brothers and sisters!

I'm from Thailand and I really love this video! I've been watching Geography Now for a while already and ever since 2017, I've been anticipating the Thailand episode, and I must say this didn't disappoint! Although there were a few minor inaccuracies, for the most part this was really well-researched and I have faith that it'll teach other people more about Thailand!
ขอบคุณครับ!
🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
Can you clarify the inaccuracies please?
@@MichaelSmith-fy1jj One inaccuracy was that "Pak Kret" was described as a city surrounding Bangkok, which isn't true because Pak Kret is a district within Nonthaburi (though it surrounds BKK and is part of the Greater Bangkok Area)
@@kitfisto999 interesting. I appreciate the clarification!
Yay, worth what I am waiting for. ❤️❤️ thank you
Still love the fact that GN almost has 3M subs and can make a professional background etc. But remains looking like a channel that has just started. Keep up the work
I visited Chiang Mai about 4 or 5 years ago. I took a cooking class, went to an elephant sanctuary, went hiking, and went ATV riding. It was a great trip.
Yayyyy!!! Finally, my long-awaited episode!!! Really impressed how you could cover everything about my home country in just over half an hour and how you could nicely avoid discussing the hot and controversial topic of the monarchy. Kudos to you 👏🏼 Also loved how Hannah mentioned 555 as the first thing in her part 55555
As a Thai person, I would say younger generations are becoming less religious, especially in urban areas. Although most of us are Buddhists, many are superstitious as animism has always been part of the Thai culture, with a mix of Hindu influence.
As for major cities, population-wise, yes, Hat Yai, my hometown, is the second largest outside of the Bangkok metropolitan area since it’s compact and densely populated. But area-wise, I would say Chiang Mai is the second largest metropolitan area, followed by Nakhon Ratchasima, Pattaya and Hat Yai. Cities are often divided into smaller municipalities. So when asked how big a city is, you’ll have to look at its major municipality and take into account other smaller municipalities of its vicinity that form the metropolitan area :)
And for those names we can’t even pronounced, it’s probably because they’re written in the Latin script. If they were written in Thai, it would be easier for us to read. That being said, many Thai names consist of big words from Indic languages like Pali and Sanskrit. Even if they were written in Thai, Thai speakers would find them challenging to read. What’s more, some names are transliterated into English in a very fancy way to reflect their Indic roots regardless of their actual pronunciation. So you’ll see things like Suvarnabhumi Airport, which is actually pronounced “su-wan-na-poom”. 😅
Linguistically and culturally, yes, we’re related to the Lao people, especially people in the Northeast, where the border is just the mighty Mekong. The Isan Language of the Northeast is linguistically a Lao dialect but due to politics, it’s referred to as a Thai dialect.
Finally, I want to say thank you for making this episode! ขอบคุณครับ 🙏🏻 (kob khun krub)
All in one about Thailand is here. Thanks guys for your hard work.
Been waiting for this EP for a long time.
Man this is turning into my favorite youtube channel, you guys rock! Keep up the good work.
Thailand, which has about the same land area as Spain or France, consists of two broad geographic areas: a larger main section in the north and a smaller peninsular extension in the south. The main body of the country is surrounded by Myanmar (Burma) to the west, Laos to the north and east, Cambodia to the southeast, and the Gulf of Thailand to the south. Myanmar extends along the western portion of the peninsula as far as the Isthmus of Kra, after which Thailand occupies the entire peninsula until reaching its southern border with Malaysia at roughly latitude 6° N.
This video was really fun to watch, keep it up GeographyNow :)
I love your videos! Educational yet humorous.
