I live in Thailand and I can't say I've ever been "ripped off." Compared to the USA, prices here are very reasonable. Fortunately, I make more money than I need, so that makes it easy to overlook a lot.
@@harrys-cane Who and where? I live here. That has NOT been my experience and it is NOT the hot topic in the expat community. If guys are getting ripped off then I suggest they befriend expats from their own country that will show them the ropes per se. Also, if you are not a seasoned traveler you are susceptible to being scammed when you get off the plane anywhere in the world. You have to have a travel plan that prevents being scammed. Like booking or researching pricing through a reputable site like AirBnb, Agoda, Hotels, Booking for your housing. Eating at local supermarkets with defined prices. Researching the cost of amenities you will use before you come so that you are aware of pricing. What's the best transportation. What are the best neighborhoods. Where to shop? Where is the hospital? How to get money? ATM Fees? Where is the supermarket. What are the local apps used for transportation, shopping etc... There are plenty of how to videos online that people should watch before they travel to any country. A little due diligence will save people from being scammed. Lastly, I think a lot of westerners come to Thailand to play in the mud. Thailand is a wonderful Buddhist country but when you go to the streets of prosti...tu...shun well...then expect to be scammed. If you play on the devil's playground then expect to meet the devil.
@@thaimanclark no one is leaving for the reason the video implies 👍🏼 they’re ‘literally’ at the airport because their holiday is over or they’re doing a visa run… and I agree, if ppl don’t like Thailand - don’t go so the rest of us that do can enjoy it 🇹🇭
Thanks for the interview. Good to see you didn’t edit it to make a full of us. Appreciate it We mentioned we got ripped off for laundry like the video says you have to go to learn. Next time we know what to look out for. Everyone should go and experience Thailand! Earned a sub man thanks
Ey Guys! It was a please taking to you 😃 I’m happy you guys are so positive and had (besides te expensive laundry and boat ride) the best time in Thailand 😁 safe travels!
Where did you get the laundry done? The price in the hotel might be 5 -10 time more compared to the shop outside!! It wasn't ripped off but you might get the wrong place.
Holy moly 3500 for Koh Laan speedboat :D As someone who lives here I treat myself sometimes by getting the speedboat for like 200-300/person (don't remember how much), but usually just get the public ferry for 30 baht.

Do you know that the traffic accident rate in Bangkok is the highest in Southeast Asia? It's stupid to compare Hanoi and Bangkok. Bangkok is full of criminals, Hanoi is much safer. I'm sure for you the cost in Bangkok is getting more and more expensive, in Bangkok you can only make UA-cam for a living🤣
Nice the interviews, especially with the guy from Norway. I live near Hua Hin as well and came the first time to Thailand in 1980. Have been travelling all over the world, but Thailand is my home now...Malaysia is great as well. People are very nice, food is good, cost of living is similar to Thailand...
I agree. I lived in Malaysia for 6 months and have been many times but as he said its tough to live there long term unfortunately. Tough to get a work or long term visa at least from my experience. Great country...
Stig from Norway 🇳🇴 thanks for sharing so much info about SE asia, nice departure 🛫 video chai, I'm missing this videos of your for quite a long time. Thanks ❤ for sharing
I appreciate you watching again! It’s great to hear you missed them 😊 🙏 and haha I do enjoy them though as most of the people have so many nice memories about the country 🥰
WOW!! 1,000 baht to get the laundry done now that is a rip off if the equivalent was charged in a Western country 😂🤣😂 We all get stung at some stage, generally in the early years when just learning the ropes as travelling novices. It is not unusual to have to learn the hard way especially around the bar scene and getting tuk tuk drivers to take you where you want to go and not where they want to take you.. Top video champ 🤩
@@stevens8785 I didn’t watch that far but if someone is paying 1k bt to get their laundry done in Thailand, then that’s on them. They haven’t been scammed, they’re morons, when if they opened their eyes they can get it for 50bt a kilo.. . Top vid 😂
Chai, the last time I filmed in an airport (Chiang Mai) the police on site made me stop. No clear reason why.... So clearly the Chai Travel Channel has clout!!! Haha. Always nice to see your videos.
I admire a lot this great man from Norway , such a experience traveler , this is the way that I would wanna live my live. , and the message to the world that he let us , it's a Big big truth , be kind yourself be kind with others and won't find any struggles.
Great video to get inspired about coming to visit! What was the name of the island the Norwegian gentleman was talking about retiring? Couldn't quite catch it. Thanks 😊
I like your interviews. It has different and intereting ideas. But the title "why do they leave?" in the airport? Sounds like " all people are dead" in a cemetory for me.
I have been scammed in Phuket twice, once on a holiday share scam (My fault for trusting it) and I was drugged by the Russians at the LaMode stripclub, in the club by the bar staff (Vodka shot). I didn't make it out of the club before I passed out.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I don’t know what to say. I hope nothing happened and after you've passed out and you went to the tourist police the following day 🙏
@@Chai_Travel All good the Aussie bouncer dragged me into the security office and I told him I have 1000$ in my wallet if he gets me back to my hotel before I went out, he did, I woke in my room and my wallet was empty, lost my memory for a few hours/days and it all came back to me. I went to the doctor back in Australia and he said the same thing happened to him.
Yeah quoite disappointed with this video. The title is definitely clickbait and I learned basically nothing from the interviews. I watched most of it just to be sure and yeah, wasted 10 minutes.
Every town has a good and bad things, and keep in mind that Bangkok isn't only place in Thailand. If you have time, journey to another town out of Bangkok.
Hi, nice to meet you. I work long hours every day and the last thing I’ve planned is to ruin my channel. I hope you don’t just look at the title but actually see what people have to say
my opinion absolutely. now if you meet some cool locals and stay somewhere away from traffic, noise and pollution it could be worth a stay. after 3 days my lungs tell me its time to go
Thank you for an intelligent and fair video that doesn't focus on yourself, like many similar ones do. You have also clearly done your research, a weak spot for many naive short term vloggers.
Tbh there are almost non. Only the very touristic places you have to look out for them. Most people in Thailand are the most humble and honest people on this planet 😊
Tourist places rip you off! Phuket, Koh Samui especially! They both are Mafia places also so stop tipping tuk-tuk, taxi etc in these places! They are not poor and blackmail shop owners etc. "You just have to go inside, not buy anything " and the owner have to pay the tuk-tuk 200 baht for example! Chiang Mai was best place, never been ripped off there not even in the market.
😅 ah well, most people have to learn it the hard way. Hopefully some of the videos I make help people to have a pleasant stay in Thailand without having to deal with paying too too much for anything 😊
@@Chai_Travel I have been in Thailand 20 years. It wants to make highways and parking s everywhere now, rail projects, canals regulations and yes even the poor Thais now need to file taxes and taxes on tips too. Same as Kamala and Joe. Not an improvement most people would say.
@@Chai_Travel correct, do better. I didn’t watch the whole vid, just the two SA fellas talking about how much they love it. They’re literally leaving cos they live in HK.. You said in the video you love Thailand (I believe you do of course, as do I and millions of others) so why would you have a title that implies Thailand is an untrustworthy place to visit and ppl are leaving in droves as a result. Just sayin pal
Yeah! I like it there. Their English is good. 😂 seriously, you pay a lot of money, thousands miles away from your home to find good English. I know some of you may say no there are many reasons. I knew it. Just ridiculous when ppl say this.
I cant give this crap a thumbs up. I gave up after 5 mins of nothing. "We're leaving because we live in Hong Kong." He's a banker alright! Sorry there's a world outside, I must go live it. This is random 30 sec soundbites of shite.
almost every European tourists will go only Khaosarn road, floating market , or wherever to party and night life which need to take taxi, and that's a messy place, so they they think Thailand are nor well develpoed , also they don't use BTS or go somewhere civilized like Siam Square, Silom, Asok, Which is Asian people like to come, because it's developed.
well there's lots of different types of tourists. some never make it out of khao san road and others see lots of Bangkok. Yeah if you're on holiday first time in bkk who doesn't want to ride in a souped up golf cart :) not everyone comes to go to malls haha
