This story is much deeper, and there is so much more history behind it, but this video serves as a blanket look at the darker history in Chinatown. I may discuss the deeper stuff more in future videos. Please feel free to let me know if anything is wrong in the comments
Oh I forgot to mention I used nationalist music because Yi Ko Hong had ties with Sun Yat Sen.

When I first arrived in Thailand I was stunned at just how popular the premier league was... how and why did someone 7000 miles away know about my hometown Ipswich? I was itching to find out, and learned that the answer was all in the history, so I made a short video about the history of football in Thailand while in Bangkok. Enjoy!

    I’m a Brazilian born British citizen and lived for over 20 years in London. Loved it. But I started looking around and having the same feelings as you about the place. I m now in Spain and I have such a tranquil life. Food, the weather, people don’t rush everywhere and, by the way, a ticket from Madrid to the airport costs under €4.

    Assuming you are being serious (which I don't think you are), the first point on politeness and safety I can kind of understand. When I visited Japan I eventually felt surprisingly irritated because the politeness and cutsey shopping atmosphere started to feel suffocating. In the U.S. I am always looking around to see who is looking at me (safety issue) and I have to endure pretty frequent racial slurs. This is a bad thing, but the experience of being safe all the time feels unreal and I would feel like I lose an edge. Are people really that polite, or are they just hiding what they think about you? I couldn't even get people in Japan to compete against me in arcade games because they were too polite to join in. As for the rest, you know Thailand is the place in SE Asia for all the structure needed to establish yourself; infrastructure, convenience, medical, etc... You are supposed to set up a base there and visit Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, or even parts of Vietnam to experience a more challenging environment. Thailand is built up now. In my case I look at Taiwan and Thailand as two low cost areas with high quality lifestyles.

    Jesus mate, from someone near the end of my life who has lived and travelled widely, and lived for decades places like: NZ, Australia, China, Taiwan, Germany and most recently the UK (for the last 20 years). Heres my summary: The UK is fine, it just needs better leadership and a more nuanced media. The whole world has been messed up by a handful of egotistic boys and their captive audiences and the UK is no different. So stop basing your world view to micro-news on social media that looks factual but ultimately lacks nuance or perspective and start traveling, exploring other cultures, asking questions. Widen your experience of the world and you just might be a bit more positive. But perhaps, most importantly, stop pretending that Immigration, poor people, single mothers, or unions are your enemy, its the Tories and their captive press that sold you that lie. The truth is the government is usually the real problem.

    • @wehatethecold
      @wehatethecold 2 дні тому

      Jesus mate, how much did you just assume and make up out of thin air? Immigration, single mothers, poor people are not mentioned once in the video. I don’t get my information from micro-new on social media, in-fact it’s all uninstalled on my phone apart from YT studio to check stats. I actually said I like the U.K. I’m just fed up of the same old and want to experience other cultures and different things before I’m too old and have other commitments like kids. So yes I want to widen my experience which is exactly what you suggested in your comment and said in my video, but it seems you have twisted it into something entirely different in your own mind. Did you even watch the video?
