Been visiting 24years never had a problem safer Thai than London any day.
Again not HIS POINT
@@KangTheDigitalNomadGlobeTreker "postpone your trip until things have settled down..." Seems pretty clear to me.
@@jackbaldwin3649 dig it. These guys ruin sh!t I was in the Philippines for 3 months. Holy shhhhhhhhh they are getting wayyyyyyyyy to ahead of themselves. Inflated EGOS TO GO WITH THE INFLATION. I grabbed my 2 and spun plates
No matter where you are, if you go looking for trouble, you will find it!
Kicking local Thai women… wtf is wrong with some westerners!? Respect is No.1 in Thailand.
I said the same thing like they forget we're all guest(s) some are so f**kin stupid AND forget that Thailand NEVER had an issue with any country it stayed neutral. Now foreigners go there and want to "kick or harm" Thai locals IN THIS DAY AND AGE with cellphones everywhere. Why I say a lot of people shouldn't be travelling. It was always reserved for the classful than the classless
Respect starts with land rights to any foreigner who buys land or a condo.
@@worldlife9834 I'm a foreigner mate, and would love to own land there, but reality is it's done for country's and it's people's security. And you can "pretty much" own it by building family there with a local. They don't want China or Russian oligarchs or Americans or really others coming and buying out countryside, inflating food and prices x100. It would make Thailand not Thailand.
@@crayfaze They practice protectionism, xenophobia and racism with their laws. The real issues is countries creating money from nothing to control other countries.
@@crayfaze Agreed. Industrialized countries would just buy everything out and screw over the indigenous people as always.
Being going 25 years and will never stop going until I'm dead
Ladyboys just that good eh?
Bottom line… we are quests in their country. We need to respect the local people and culture .
Do foreigners respect the immigration laws of the United States?
It's ok friend. I'm Thai and most Thai people understand that every countries have both good and bad people. If you stay in Thailand for a while, you will hear the words Mai pen rai (ไม่เป็นไร) it means "It's ok" most Thai people has that in mind.
khǎaw thôot Khrap
I love Thailand and Thai people are almost always very very understanding. No other country like it. I think that's why so many people who feel suffocated in other countries, go to Thailand.
I hope so, I want to spend time in Thailand and embrace numerous aspects of your culture including visiting and paying respects in your temples. So I hope other westeners won't ruin this for us all.
Dude , you are panicking over a few incidents that don't reflect general attitude. And Thailand and Philippines live off of tourism. What are you talking about?
It's a matter of perspective.
He needs clicks and a life...
Philippines is dull anyways
He hussling, he tryna get views-
I have found plenty on beach road who want nothing more than to walk you to your hotel then demand to be paid for doing nothing. The past of lets make a deal and stick to it is over. GoGo and Beer bar is still a option BUT most you find there at an acceptable rate are well over 40 and also very well seasoned. Want of a slim cutie ,then average will cost 3k bar fine alone in a gogo maybe up to 2k in a beer bar Just for Bar Fine, then girl is a dead fish in bed.
It is not a few incidents thailandia is imploding and destroying reasons men from the west arrive. Services and experiences with local women sucks generally. Food is or can still be good but prices going up almost daily,beer still cheap though a six pack never less than $6 for a low level lager at 7/11 or such. Hotels are about all there is as a draw but with more Indian tourists lately hotel prices will rise soon too.
I vacation 2 months at a time and at one time 4x per year. Pre covid I was spending 1k US dollars per week on wine women and song only. Since thailand reopened I have been back three visits. It is almost impossible to spend more than $200 per week on wine women and song because the offerings just are not worth it nor worth the gamble of her pulling a scam.
I just got back a few weeks ago and so far nothing exciting outside of a good meal in my sights. Women are for the most part older and a lot heavier.
Genuine people going on holiday just to enjoy themselves have fuck all to worry about
Let’s not go panicking here , I’ve been to Thailand many times , never had a problem, it starts with you , and how respectful of a person you are and was raised , it’s not our country , just be respectful , be cool and enjoy Thailand, avoid any confrontation, and you will be alright … just Respect your host country and you will fine
It’s bizarre to me that someone would take the time and money to travel thousands of miles from home just to act like an assclown. You definitely have a respectful fun vibe to you and that’s all I want to do when I get there. I appreciate this because it’s not just a heads up to watch our back but to be mindful of our own actions as well. Enjoy paradise brother and keep dodging the drama. Appreciate you man. ❤
Assclowns! Perfect description!👍
some people will do anything for a superchat
@@jonSmith-xv6tx yeah it’s sad and it’s not necessary either. I mean the roids . Hemorrhoids are definitely preventable.
Ive been going to Thailand for the past 24 years and i have lived there and owned a business there.I have seen coups,terror attacks,massive protests,huge fights between Thais and other nationalities.If you can think of a problem i have seen it in Thailand.The Thais are the most respectful easy going people in the world and believe me this incident would not cause drama to other people in Thailand.Its not the Buddhist way of living.
Tourists do dumb shit everyday.Go hang out in Pattaya especially Walking St to see for yourself.
Thanks for your input!
Why not come to Thailand now , what are you talking about loads of people are flying in every day you know nothing and Thailand still hasn't recovered economically from the covid years ,thousands of people are having a great time he with no hassle these people who get in trouble put themselves in trouble its not rocket science .
I watched a stream last night, a guy got into an altercation with someone else not wanting to be filmed and there was nearly a fight, however the streamer then walked off but he was in such a rage that he later kicked something (looked like a bin) at some thai people, before you knew it there was about 10 thai security officers (bouncers I guess) about to kick his head in, he got away by basically begging for his life and offering them money.
I'm not saying don't go to thailand but I do think tensions are high right now, don't go starting fights and especially never ever fight with the locals, it's never 1v1, random strangers will help their country mate even if they don't know them, you will get the crap beaten out of you.
Yeah, I was on Khao San and this Russian guy jumped by like 12 Thai guys right in front of me. Me and this other American dude managed to non-confrontationally stop it. The Russia guy was kinda a moron though and quite frankly had it coming. Nevertheless, I guess I needed a good deed to balance out the degeneracy I later committed.
It's fine. Just don't go to someone's home and act like an asshole. It's not that hard. People in SEA want people to have a good time. Just be grateful to be a guest and respectful to the people. That's the case everywhere.
If you want to come come to Thailand it is very safe and you should never have a problem. But you must leave your personal baggage at home. Obey the laws, the police have road blocks, do not do like the 2 new Zealand guys did and blow thru there is a good chance you will be followed and stopped. I have been in Thailand 13 years and never a problem with the police or with local population. I do not understand what this guy is trying to do but he could find himself sideways with the local authority. Remember if you come to Thailand please do a bit of research before coming and learn about the customes and the local way of doing things, respect and politeness are very important.
Great advice. My philosophy when traveling is. Don't get pi$$ed in public and cast a small shadow at all times.
Nah, you can get lit AF in SEA. I've blacked out in various countries there many times. It's all good. They don't care. It's fun to get super drunk and hang out with the locals. It all comes down to not being an asshole. You can have as much fun as you want provided it is not at the expense of others.
Thank you Brother planning on coming over in June looking to retire. I been enjoying your channel for 1year keep winning.
Making a mountain out of a mole hill,,stop being a panic merchant.
he is just FEEDING his subs some scraps to feed upon ?
Selfish people ruin it for everyone else !! So shut up and wind your neck in !
It's not a mole hill. It's something we should be taking seriously. We don't need Asian nations closing their doors, even if tourism is a big thing for them, we can and will eventually be uninvited.
Tourism in Kyoto is not shut down. It's only the streets where geisha have been accosted often by foreigners.
Yeah. I wanted to say this. He made it sound like the entire city was shut down, lamo. It's literally just a handful of private streets, all the ones that were plastered with "no photo" signs. Anyone who's been there knows this is hardly a big deal (that they got shut down, not rude tourists, which is a big deal).
American here don’t get along what makes people think they going to get along anywhere else, I hope they don’t mess it up for everyone else, I’m not from anywhere else so I’m writing about what I know, I hate it here in the states, feeling like snake Pliskin in escape from New York
Man you saying don’t go to Thailand because dude’s chucking police officers …😳😳 can anybody chuck police officers in the state or any other country and get a way with it….if you can’t handle alcohol then don’t drink and start trouble and say the country is bad no Thailand when it come to these types of thing they don’t play games…..so I say travel have fun don’t get drunk and act stupid be nice to Thai people then you will have a good time I been going science long time a lone never had problems
Moral of the story just be respectful .doesn’t matter Where you are from .It’s like going into your parents home you show respect and act accordingly.
I'm a kiwi myself and it really pisses me off that those two men did that to the Thai officer. Makes us look bad 😡
Don't jump to conclusions, we don't know what happened. The Kiwi guys said they were defending their lives! Thai police aren't perfect NEWSFLASH
Same here. Theyre an embarrassment.
Stupid if you believe the Police there lol
@@rhh176I just watched the video and the kiwis are definitely in the wrong. blacklisted from the country and charges pressed seems right.
@@rhh176 talk about Dumb and Dumber.
When you are in Thailand it's all about saving face to the Thai people.
The two kiwis should have stuck their hands up, pleaded guilty, apologize in public, give a "donation" to the Police and they could have been on their way home.
Instead Dumb and Dumber are now fighting the charges. They will get a least 5 years in the Bangkok Hilton.
No white sheets, aircon or cold beer where they are going.
Thanks For The Tips...Appreciated.
You bet!
Curfew advice is Insane. Just don’t disrespect people, it’s simple
Is it easy to get a visa every 30 days as a canadian to stay few months in thailand 🇹🇭???
GP, Thank You for speaking Honestly and Respect is LACKING World Wide.
Absolutely when You go to visit a Foreign Country, Show Respect or stay Home and cause CRAP 👎
Travel is not easy. That said, I would think most of travel would be well rounded folks or at least I would hope so
Nothing will stop me from returning to thailand many times a year! Thailand is a super safe country, and the thai people are so friendly! If there are problems, then it's normally Westerners causing the problems.
You're a guest / visitor in their country! Respect the culture, respect the people and the country and you will have the time of your life.
You are absolutely right! The Bible also says it very appropriately: Anyone who meddles in the quarrels of others is like someone who nips a dog by the ears! So I can only agree with your advice: get out of the pub and never interfere in someone else's quarrel!
Thai people are blessed with a beautiful country and weather
I checked into a hospital with my swiss passport and said don’t worry, I’m not kicking any doctor. They definitely know that not everyone is a bad person
I personally don’t drink alcohol. But what you said about day drinking and going home early is a sensible comment. Most of the trouble in any city happens after 10pm. You can just avoid it.
I’ve lived in Thailand for 15 months now and I’ve had no problems but I’m always friendly, smiling and humble.
Respect is everything here
Be in bed by 9pm? Good God man who is this video for the senior citizens
Thanks for the heads up, mate
Whenever you are outside your home country respect the culture, the laws and the people. Many of us are so blessed to be able to go and enjoy what these other countries have to offer, we are always in many ways at a disadvantage outside of our home country it's unfortunate that all it takes is a few bad apples to ruin the bunch!
I totally agree!
Just got to Phuket 4 days ago. Only one way ticket, passport full of entry in/out stamps from Thailand, it went like a charm with police immigration. I stay in Rawai, everyone is nice with farangs, I don’t feel any bad resentments.
we are doing this crap on planes too ((( maybe time to tone down all the pumping up and give more of these helpful reality checks
Just thought about going to Paytaya. Guess I'll waite awhile. Thanks for the heads up
Felt safer in all over Thailand than LA and Detroit.
3:54 unfortunately people have become much more aggressive than before. And the pandemic reinforced that.
Ive recently got back from thailand, did bangkok, pattaya, phuket, koh samui. i was absolutely shitfaced most nights out late every night not one bit of trouble. I did see a fair bit of trouble but this was down to people being disrespectful/rude.
Moral of the story, dont avoid thailand, go there, have fun, get drunk, stay out late, party hard the whole time you’re there if you like. As long as you stay respectful of the thai people and dont be a dick, there is absolutely nothing to fear.
The only problem i had was one incident of bill padding in bangkok, was quickly resolved by the guy running the bar so may have been an accident or they were trying it on. either way it ended peacefully.
They only shut down certain streets in Kyoto. The signs didn't work to forbid pictures
Lol
Unfortunately when alcohol is involved there can be issues - look at the UK- but it is not fair that whilst on holiday you should end your evening at 9.00p
Well damn man. I have been planning a trip to Thailand for two years now and will be there in less then 25 days. Just myself looking to eat and golf for a month. I should still be good, right? I keep to myself in the hardest way. Also, I dont drink
Enjoy your Golf , Thailand is safest place in the world, this vlogger is PARANOID .
@@daddy9267 he 100% is i thumbed him down and i NEVER do that!
As long as you’re paying it’s “up to you “. 🤣. The sentiment is the same . They want you to come , spend your money, and LEAVE….
Thailand 🇹🇭 is a beautiful country !!!
Kyoto is not shutting down tourism. Select the proper language here. Geez dude. They are looking to restrict pedestrians from walking into more of the private streets where they feel there in no reason to be.
Never been there, and don't plan on going. But I do watch a couple Twitch streamers who do IRL from Thailand. They both live there. One, she is Thai and speaks some English. The other guy is German, but has lived there for 25 years, and speaks Thai and English. He travels on a motorbike all over. She drives. I have not seen any crazy confrontations on their streams.
There is bad anywhere you go in the world !!! I travelled Thailand and Laos on my own never had any problems and I didn’t just travel tourist areas nearly everywhere I travelled people are so welcoming ❤ the culture
Lived Thailand 1 decade , never spoken to 1 cop , never had problem imagration but guess what I’m not broke ,
Appreciate that G man
Thanks bro
Is this an urgent situation with proper lighting?? 😝
I've been in Thailand for 3 weeks and I haven't heard about any of those incidents. I need to start watching the news.
Smile and speak a little of thai, people would love you here. I moved here two months ago and actually it’s surprisingly very safe!
Being friendly and peaceful is the key here, and integrate in their culture helps alot!
Also don’t mess with women who might be in a relationship already with a thai with or without you knowing, or have recently broke up with a thai. You would actually get yourself killed in this situation no kidding. Be careful with women who range from late twenties to forties, take your time with them and know them really well before engaging in anything.
Early twenties usually are safe, clean and honest you wouldn’t have a problem
I live in Sweden and just in my city we have shootings and bombings a couple of times a week. I'll think I be safer in Thailand.
Love the backdrop, GP.
I have lived in Thailand for ten years and have never felt safer.Compared to any other country I have lived in or visited
I've just got home from 3 weeks in pattaya had a ball no troubles at all you have to be a professional dickhead to get in trouble 😊 !
who gets paid for being a DICKHEAD ? ( oh yeah,you tubbies, tik tokers, instascammers & only me influencers ) this social world is zombieized by NO MONEY...NO HONEY ?
There should be more videos like this. I have traveled all over the world. I have been to Thailand. I've never had a problem. I speak Thai and I know the culture. I've noticed that the ones who cause the problems are Europeans, Australians, and Kiwis. Oddly enough, it is rare that Americans or Canadians cause any problem. Good point. If you binge consume alcohol to 3 or 4 a.m., that is a problem. When I see Americans at that hour, I tell them to follow me. Within minutes, without fail, Thai and Europeans get into fights. One time I was stopped by a Thai policeman. He asked what me and the other Yanks what we were doing. I said, "Making sure we are not associated with the fight going on down the street. He laughed and said, "You're smart." As I've said, I've never had a problem in Thailand.
Thanks for the information GP 👍🏻 All it's because people can't control their selves with they're drinking or their actions & people like that messes it up for everyone.
Kyoto isn't shut down. It's only the Gion district. Get your facts straight.
I live in Japan. Koyto is not shut down! there are restrictions, but not shut down! Koyto depends on tourist!
Problems are going to occur with people. People are messy. There millions shuffling back and forth between different countries. There will be problems. You just got to hope it is a win-win for everyone on average, if not the laws will eventually change.
Last week news , you are Mr.Panic !.
Lol
I thought this was going to discuss all the trash on that beach. WTF man
Most Thai people are very kind, but, I have encountered some very disrespectful thai people which surprised me. They also need to have respect that foreigners even come to their country to help it also. Seems like they are becoming meaner and meaner towards foreigners thanks to the media. Ive noticed some sharp comments towards myself ect. Its not just foreigners being crazy makes me wonder how the thai people are acting towards them in the first place too.
Your video is mirrored, you point south when you say "Bangkok is that way" . . . :D
is it always so damn windy???? what the hell? ever single video I see the trees are ripping! Have been planning to come and being a cyclists nothings worth than 20mph wind every single day
Look at all the plastic on the beach ! It's such a shame ! It's like this on the beach nearby where I live in Greece
Meh. They were KIWIS not Americans. I'm not worried.
thanx for sharing
Yup true about fights, you fight the 'clan' all of them will pile on, seen it several times. It's not mon-a-mono.
You’re right about nothing good happens after 10 latest midnight.
31 years between Tokyo and Thailand (many years in the Muslim south). No bother apart from a Scottish lad one time.
From sunrise 🌄 to sunset 🌅 is best!
Acting a fool in other people's countries should carry penalties in their home countries for embarrassment.
weather looks really bad, sky isnt blue anymore.
I’m in Bangkok best place I’ve ever been
Was that police officer acting 100% “respectful”?
what difference does it make?
Not every exchange is going to be fair or mutually respectful, ESPECIALLY when dealing with the law in a foreign country. Just comply and move along with life, if you don't like it then just leave.
BKK & Thai destinations have been safe for my many trips. Basically, the Thai people are humbly and respectful and that goes both ways ok?
just come from Kyoto. Full of tourists
The incident in Cebu (Philippines).. the one that got shot was an American that got very drunk and was harassing females in the party of the Filipino that shot him .. he was warned to back off and go away but continued to try push his weight around and start a fight.
Yes, he's a Connor McGregor 2.0 in Road House.
Unfortunately, all too often a small minority of foreigners in Asian countries behave badly and cast a bad light on the majority. You are doing a great and indispensable job of education, G.P.
this is good advice. also the legal weed is also attracting a bad tourist clientele
i am in nakhon si thammarat now and i dont know what you are on about. all is cool.
Very interesting take
It is what it is.
Kinda like how Peterson is a serial killer’s name.
We dont have those kind of issues in the Philippines even with foreigners.
Ok
first i'm hearing of it. Thanks.
Thanks for listening
There are some that have issues, and they tend to follow them wherever they go. But while the Thai’s are happy tolerant people, the consequences for crossing the line here are far more severe.
Remember, all you will EVER be is Farang - Foreigner. Be respectful, always.
Thanks for your input
Thanks for the video and advice. Pattaya and Phuket are two of the worst place that I've ever been with, way too expensive, doubled or tripled, also too crowded because it's already owned by farangs and westernized. Looks like you been living in Thailand forever. Better be off to Siem Riep, Penang & Manila.
Just got back from Bang saen beach. Super laid-back vibe highly recommend checking it out
I’m sure survived is the right term (it was only huge money creation and bailouts that kept things going even it was just spillovers from western countries) long term a lack of tourist income would be devastating
Saying that I agree 100% with your advice that you are a guest and must respect local culture and social mores etc
There is everywhere bad people, but there is also a small % of them. Most people don't search for trouble in foreign countries
with millions of tourists theres always some bad apples. but yea i feel alot of thai people in certain areas are tired of so many tourists, just like in kyoto. life here was so much more chill on average during the convid. just smile and be gentlemen
Yea always be respectful guys manners cost nothing. Remember we are not in the USA or the UK so think on. How you coping with the weather geffory I've heard is boiling at the moment is it worth a visit in that heat?
Title's a bit overkill, bro. I can go to my local in Sydney and see this shit. But, tourism is massive trade in Thailand. Telling people to stay away because of a few dickheads ain't helping the Thai people. Got my 11th trip planned for Aug. Busting inside to get there, and there'll be no 10pm curfews. The band doesn't kick off till then...🤘
Go to bed at 9 p. m, you cannot be serious 😂
😉
5am
@@marksallai2289 always good to catch the sunrise
How can anyone be happy anywhere else, if he is not happy with himself. Absurd. This kind of "farang" can go back to where they come from.
You got it
be respectful of other nation's culture and you wont have problems
Spend 3 months a year there, just come back, never had a problem in 20 years,
Your getting to excited, lol
Sorry bro but you mixed up the direction on bkk and pattaya. If the ocean is behind you obviously pattaya is to your right or left of the screen south. And bkk to your left or right of the screen north. That is all 😂
