Alux.com I have been to 🇹🇭
Alux.com i visited 🇹🇭Phuket, I had the best time but the steeling part is true
Thank you! This is just what I wanted
I love Thailand, but I never been there. I wish to visit soon.
When I was living in Thailand, one of the interesting things I saw was in text messages they use 555 instead of LOL. 5 is pronounced Ha in Thai. I just loved this and still use it even here in America. I get some confused responces though. 555
555 i love your comment :> when Thais said 555 with you it mean he love and like you
5555
55.

555😁😁😁
Lisa James that really nice 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thailand is one of my favorite countries to Holiday...been there a dozen times and the a Thai people are some of the kindest and friendly...😎😎😎😎
Eleanor London ..you are likely correct ...sadly humans do that all around the world...wish they wouldn’t. 😩😩
Eleanor London I'm Indian and they think I'm cute here and I got a gf
Eleanor London Always did with your family?
Eleanor London that kind of people is everywhere in the world not only in Thailand, but I'm sure if you're a good tourist and behave yourself; you'll be treated well :)
i lived there 6 months and its amazing, i come back to UK, and im like omg... theres nothing to do,
I go to Thailand every year and never had a problem. Just act respectful and there will be no issues. Yes there some problems in the large cities but that's true in every country. Cheap to visit and I love the people. I recommend the northern region Issan. Better than south or central Thailand.
recommended
Issan foods! Yummmm 😍
I’m wondering if “northern region Issan” means north of Issan region OR northern region called Issan which is not. Issan is Southwestern region.
And sorry if I misunderstood it.
Am thai I will tell u something one day u will.......
@@bipwityatem9444 Your english is damn confusing . What do you mean?
So many ignorant points need corrections.
1.) You should have done some homework about how to pronounce Thai names properly, especially if it's the kings' names
2.) Relating to point 1, people shouldn't step on bank notes because they have the king's picture on. We Thais see feet as the lowest part of the body and it's rude to point feet to anyone, especially if that one is at the height of Thai society. However, people won't get fined or jailed for stepping on bank notes unintentionally
3.) Transgenders and sex tourism are 2 separate things. Putting those under the same topic making unaware people generalise them easily
4.) Not every monks in Thailand involve the tiger scandal, only those at that tiger temple
5.) The walking fishes can't be seen on beaches, but at mangrove forests
คอมเม้นได้ดีมากครับ ^ ^ b
Namo Suksomyos In fact Thailand has lower crime rate than most Western countries and the Thai police takes a very serious against crime committed against foreigners. Prostitution exists in all countries not just Thailand...there is Batam Dongguan Amsterdam and countless more...why single out Thailand. It is the oldest trade in the world.
Transgender is different from transexual...just as transvesities is different from ladyboy.
Thailand is a Buddhist country where 90% of Thai citizens are Buddhists with religious freedom for all. A country of sincere smiles where differences are accomodated.
@@yongjiean9980 Thai Popo not as serious much tho ,and the laws too. You have money or famous they will let you out for sure .
@@yongjiean9980 "Thailand has lower crime rate than most Western countries "lol where did u get these info from ?
everyone knows the fact that The police can be bribed if u get pull over
And i don't think Thailand is the oldest trade since China appeared before Siam(Thailand) at least 3000 years ago
Thanks for clearing this up with other people. I was born and adopted in Thailand and I’ve been wanting to learn about my culture and share with my friends and those who are curious. People in America don’t know enough about any other culture other then themselves. Coming to America I face a lot of stereotypes against with racial slurs and assumptions about a culture or race they assume I come from. Damn when I came to America a lot of people at school didn’t even know about Thailand or never met a Thai person. I actually was asked if TIES (like neck ties) grew on trees in Thailand and it wasn’t them making fun of me it was a legit question that they asked. Stupid questions may not “exists” but stupid people do 😂 even if you didn’t have knowledge of the country, what it gods name do you think that’s even logically possible
I'm from Pakistan I visit Thailand so many times Thailand is the most beautiful country I love it
how about you now ?
As a turist in Thailand you can feel very safe, dont agree with this!! Been travling to Thailand seens 2002, never had a problem. but if you look for problem you get IT. thais are very good People.
Love Thailand and its kultur :-)
Yes. I wonder where the info came from for that mentioned book. I never experienced it. Whenever I see comments about people's negative experiences, it is always from those that frequent red light districts. So yeah, they have problems.
Absolutely true for every country in the world! If you stay peace you will be peace, but if you looking for problem you surely get it! ;)
I think it's about cycling.... if you know what i mean ;)
Im Thai btw.
@@gingerdmontitou2430 yes for example were bikini walking on the beach in the late at night some couples were killed it's not Thai people did it though, that we call Satan..so if you want to be safe dont tempts the Satan people. Just think carefully what to do ,where to go and when..
they are "good people" when you pay them a lot

@peter grafkind me thailand สวัสดีค่ะ
Thailand is place that has a fit or lifestyle for anyone willing to relax, interact, and explore options/locations. The cost of living is a fundamental feature true, but what really shines about Thailand is the level of openness availble for respectful & kind visitors. of course no one, nor no where is (absolutely) perfect, none the less Thailand is a great place for the kind and gental to visit, live and of course find one self. ☆P.S If there is a bad event or day, be paticent and see what time will bring.
พูนหาสจะฎาบ่ตรีได้
Exactly ! This is "mai pen rai". I love the "mai pen rai" attitude of so many Thais. Also the face concept of social interaction. Keeping face makes it comfortable to everyone to interact.
This video should be rename 'What I don't know about Thailand'
Agree with you
Thailand! My country! If you get any chances to come to the country, make sure that you come to Lampang! It is one of the must-not-miss provinces beside Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya and so on. It is in the North and life here is less crowded, less expensive, and very beautiful. Don't miss this province. Lampang!
Are you forget
1.Songkran festival
2.Bangkok Traffic
All destination you describe is only located in southern of the nation. Northern region is also have breathtaking view.
And mostly you pronounce both of our King’s name wrong. But not that serious.
Thanks for making video about Thailand.
I went up a mountain near Chaing Mai to see the view, When we got there we found the whole viewing point was covered by Fir Trees and we couldn't see a thing. You just have to love the Thais
We need a people like you !! Others were just saying something bad and ignore the good .
I'm Swedish. Living in Thailand since 6 yr now and when I came the first time I had severe insect fobia. The first night was in koh lanta and I saw a cockroach... Slept with lights on. Fully clothed. Too afraid to go out to pee so I peed in a bottle... Crazy scared. Now I'm so cured I don't even wanna hurt them. I've been eating ants. Weaver ants I believe. Its crazy how life can turn life around
I'm a Thai here, and I heard how you pronounced our Kings' names, it was so funny. 😂 At least, you tried.
Thailand is one of the best place to relax. Everything is connected to nature and lots of greenery. The people are soft spoken. You will fall in love with the place. One month is less to visit the place .
BEEN LIVING IN THAILAND FOR THE PAST 9 YEARS AND LOVE IT MORE EACH YEAR. I DON'T LIKE THE BANGKOK AREA MAINLY BECAUSE OF ALL THE PEOPLE. IT IS VERY CONGESTED. WHEN I DO HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE U.S., I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACK TO THAILAND.
I was in Pattaya in 2009 and loved it. It's highly recommended. First time I saw Indian restaurant buffet. Everything is super cheap. People are super nice. Don't ask about the king's family's picture everywhere in the city. Just respect and enjoy. I stayed in the Hard Rock hotel. I'm definitely going back SOLO.
I'd love to go to Thailand one day & have some delicious, authentic Thai food !
salonika101 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👌👌
Welcome to Thailand.
try PadThai which selling on street, you will see that it really better from any restaurant in your country, perhaps better than the best Thai restaurant there too :)
Just pack your bags and go! Thailand is designed for tourism. In tourist areas, signs are in both English and Thai. The majority of Thais know basic English. Plane tickets are cheaper now because of competing airlines to Thailand.

Thanks kevin !
Thailand is one my favourite Country i look to visit i like their hotel brand dusitd2 Hotel in Nairobi,Kenya i like their Thai Hospitality
I like Thailand and also Thai drama
SEIKO DE HARUN I am Thai, but their drama are bad to me lol
I visit Thailand almost every year. The 2nd time I visited, I met the love of my life💖 our relationship is 2years and counting now. I love you my boo😘
Welcome to Thailand Feelings in the heart of Thai people He loves people around the world without having to divide the caste class. Regardless of religion, Thai people never hated. Thai people just think that they are the same people.
I love Thailand💓😎💪😊🍉🍍🌴🌅
Hi Aluxers!
I've been to Thailand three months ago and I spent there 2 weeks and I can tell you that the criminality is very low.Thai people are very kind and respectful apart of the tuk-tuk drivers who can be a little too pushy.Thailand is a budist country and is part of their culture to be kind and respectful with others people.Very nice and interesting country, it's worth visiting.
Great place to visit ..
Thnks alux for such exciting video.
I'm Thai and currently living in Thailand but number 16 is kinda wierd to me. I have never heard of the law about underpants. I don't think it's true. But I still love the video ^^.
We Thais thought the same. It's funny though. Never heard of it too! xD
Me too, I think you won't get arrested by not wearing underwear but you will if you go out without wearing anything.

เค้าหมายถึงว่า ใส่แค่กางเกงในเดินออกนอกบ้าน จะถูกจับ ไม่ใช่ ไม่ใส่กางเกงในแล้วจะถูกจับ วู้ววว หัวร้อนอะไร?
มันก็สมควรโดนจับละ อนาจารนะเว้ย ใส่ออกบ้านมีเเต่กางเกงในอ่ะ
@@typicalmango just fine 500 baht if you naked = =
Thailand is such a beutiful country love fron philippines 🇹🇭❤️🇵🇭
Its a beautiful country..we go for a trip in krabi and the people there are super nice
HuntaKiller i feel like 90% of people in thailand swears
I'm Filipino but I'm Thai at heart!!!
I’m Thai and there’s no rules about it’s illegal to step on Thai currency but we choose not to do it because there’s a king Rama 9’s faces on it
Now there are notes with King Rama X's face as well!
I have been to Thailand many times and actually tonight I am flying to Bangkok. About that fish that can walk, the way you portray it gives the idea to many viewers that they will come across one if they go to a Thai beach. This is not the case as it is extremely rare and can only be found in very specific spots.
เอ่อออ....มีคนไทยบ้างไหม~~~เจอแต่คอมเมนท์ฝรั่ง
Laoo Monchu มีครับ
Laoo Monchu มี...แต่ฟังไม่รุ้เรื่องยิ่งตกอังกฤษอยู่ฟังไม่ทันด้วย😂(จะหัวเราะหรือร้องไห้ดี)
Laoo Monchu ก็ฝรั่งเค้าทำไห้ฝรั่งดูจะไห้มีเม้นไทยได้ยังไงคร้าบบบ😂😂
มีงับ!💟
Laoo Monchu จะมาเม้นทำเพื่อเค้าไห้ฝรั่งมาเสือกกันจริงๆกลัวเค้าไม่รู้หรอ
เมืองไทย สยามเมืองยิ้ม

ที่นี้ยินดีต้อนรับพวกคุณเสมอ ฉันรักเมืองไทย❤
I have nothing bad to say about Thailand.
I met a lot of amazing people. I met him. Never in my life have I ever imagined that 7 days would be enough to fall in love. I fell in love with a Thai guy. I miss him so much.
The first thing I remembered by the term
"Thailand" Was Lisa from Blackpink. 🙈🙈
i have been to Thailand and the canals in bangkok were great
Just came back from Thailand. Awesome trip. I highly recommend going to Phuket and checking James bond island, Phi phi island and the island beaches.
I loove Bangkok... I first encountered their fabulous fashion magazines in my teenage years in the 80s. Today I visit Bangkok at least once a year for my clean guilty pleasures such as shopping, eating, & anti aging beauty treatments.
I found Bangkok to be the largest open air market in the world. A square meter of sidewalk is a reason to set up a table and sell something. Lots of fun.
I love Bangkok.. i lived in bangkok for 3 yrs...
We spent Christmas last 2017 in Bangkok, Thailand. Really love n Enjoyed our stay esp at Pattaya!
Happy new year 🎆
Songkran day
I live in this beautiful country and it is truly magical.
thai tomyam and thai milk tea is a damn good taste !
Tapayana hell yes 😆
its all about: Very informative video.. keep it up
Wow!! Thanks for made this video. *This is SO AMAZING* and I am Thai :) ._.
#1 was not quite right. Thailand in the past called themselves "Ayutthaya" and Siam was only the term foreigner used to call them from that time. Nowadays Ayutthaya is just a district of Thailand but in the past that was the whole kingdom that even concluded neighboring modern days countries like Laos, Cambodia, and North Malaysia. That's why these countries has similar cultural root.
I Love 🇹🇭, My First Country to Visit on My List. ❤️ frm the 🇵🇭
Nice video, Thailand is very beautiful.
EY26Studio outside it is 😑
EY26Studio ใช่
EY26Studio but in summer, damn I bet you can't handle the heat
Thank you me thailand☺☺🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
EY26Studio GARBAGE EVERYWHERE ON THE ROADS
I just got back from Thailand and i did not have any negative experiences. Did not see any druggie, or gangs and violence< Every was so courtesies and friendly.
Just got to thailand Yestarday!!!!
is it really unsafe for tourist as mention in a video??
Im thai and lived in Thailand for 10 years before moving to the UK, then went back for a holiday. Id say its not that dangerous, just dont travel alone, especially for females but this goes for many asian countries. Especially dont get arrested and DEFINITELY dont use your feet to do anything other than walk, its very rude in Thailand to use your feet to move something, its just culture. just dont do anything stupid anf you should be fine :D have fun
Nad xC cool thanks
Nad xC why dangerous for females tho??
It goes for many asian countries, they will see you as an easy target if they see you alone. Assault, robbery, rape etc. stay in tourists areas, if you want to explore more, id advised to go in groups .
I love Thai people ....they seem really nice n friendly i wish someday i visit Thailand hehe....💜🤭
I went to Thailand last year ,I’ve been many places in the world but I would never go anywhere else other than Thailand .going back in October can’t wait
The famous girls group in Thailand is called "BNK48"long spell is Bangkok 48.Yeah in American don't have so you can enjoy with them! They look like k-pop and have two Korean people in their group but others are thai. คนไทยนะ,I am thai person.
I am planning on retiring in a little over 3 years (by December 2020). I am going to retire before I turn 50. I am seriously considering retiring to Thailand because of the food, culture, cost of living, healthcare and proximity to so many great places to travel to. As of right now I will either retire to Thailand or Build a Overlanding Expedition Vehicle and stay in the Americas (live in the USA now) and maybe travel around North, Central and South America the rest of my days.
Oh this is such a hard decision!
Better stay in your own country:)
ewe charm Why
There is no better place than your hometown. I love my country and I will stay here till the end of my life:)
Gosh....you forgot some of the amazing things here in Thailand....in Fact...most of them...i can tell this was made for westerners and backpackers...but there are many of us here middlw aged and older....my list would be so different.....i am a little embarrassed actually. And not safe? Come on....maybe in Bangkok...but I live in Chiang Mai and have never felt safer...ANYWHERE..i even stopped locking my mountain bike when i go places...and have only expwrienced halpful, kind and truly beautiful people. Please remake and add the true Thailand positives! And i am from the US!
What Are You Waiting For? Aren't most of the middle aged men in Thailand sexists who can't find willing partners in their home countries? Everything I've read indicates that.
Because the peoples who wrote this they’ve visited only just Pattaya, Phuket, and Bangkok! And then they judged the whole country like that!
This is one of the most accurate videos of Thailand. The underware story is trivial facts. Welldone video.
The bad thing about Thailand for me is the weather is too hot. 😑😅
Do a review on Jamaica 🇯🇲 please
Thailand is safe enough to travel annually! And the reason why Thai ppl dont step on their cash is that because there is a picture of their king printed on the bank notes! They respecting their king
Hey Alux, could you do 15 thing you didn't know about Malaysia (Thailand country Neighbor), and im Malaysian xD
Nice video.👍
From Thailand.💞
Please make a video on Japan!
Thailand so Beautiful
I am a Nepalese but how come I can read and understand the writings shown in 1:23 of the video .It's abit weird but interesting at the same time cuz it was so similar to what we have in Nepali language. 🇹🇭🇳🇵❣
The fish that can walk on water is amazing. Thailand red light district is as famous as Amsterdam red light district.
You mispronounce the kings name, both of them actually.
Yeah
No foreigner can get it right !
They need to revise the transliteration of Thai names.
Neema Paxima well I must be the first foreigner who can!
☺️ It’s about romanization.
Thai Royal Household’s staff hold Sanskrit principle of romanization
“ภ” is “p” sound like “พ” but in Sanskrit romanising
พ = b
ภ = bh
then “ภูมิพลอดุลยเดช” romanising to
=> Bhumibol Adulyadej
instead of “PUMIPOAN AADOONYADATE”
In English, b & bh sound aren’t different much I think
and never uses J as a following alphabet
When English speaker see ‘dej’, they pronounce only ‘de’ and silent that ‘j’.
That’s the cause they might mispronoune some kinds of Thai words.
Ling Sukanthakul true
1ST!!!! Better late than never right!!!!
1st. Definitely!
4. Its real !!!
Thanks fo review my country :3
Interesting 😊😎
I never felt unsafe here in Thailand.
Many landmines in Cambodia and Laos. Princess Diana tried to help alleviate the suffering of amputees there.
Police in the provinces are too shy to stop foreign drivers at checkpoints. They dont speak english.
I'm Thai but never heard of the no. 16 tho lol
Thank you for this video, I’m from Thailand.🇹🇭
im literally part thai and have been many times and it's not as dangerous as it seems despite statistics on it, just depends what you do or where you go
I love the narrators voice on Alux...sooo relaxing and soothing.
Michael Latimore gets annoying. Cuz its monotone as its on every vid
Ik right 😍
I hate it lol
i love thailand....😍😍
Thanks for sharing.
GOOD JOB
Welcome to my Thailand, Land of Smile.😊
now the land of Smacked arse faces.
Also they make some sad commercials. 😖🤧. Edit: Hope to go and visit there someday. It seems lovely.
Hi everybody! I'm Thai and thank you for attention and interested my country. We are ready to give a good experience and nice food.
'Welcome to Thailand'
Hi @Alux.com , at Min 4.42 , that photo is Vietnam- Ho Chi Minh City , Not in Thailand.
I don't know about number 16 😂😂😂 are you serious???😂😂😂 โดนจับข้าหาไม่ใส่กางเกงในเนี่ยนะ😂😂😂
บ้า มันแปลว่า ถ้าใส่เเต่กางเกงในออกจากบ้าน จะถูกจับ มันก็จริงไมละ ก็อนาจารนิ
อายมั้ย
I love Thailand😊
Love it there. Partner is Thai. We are moving there to live next year ;)
I guess you should aswell discussed about the Philippines ALUX known as Pearl of the Orient and home of the Best Beaches in the World and one of the early First World country next to Japan in the early days.

ขอบคุณที่คิดถึงประเทศไทย .ยินดีต้อนรับครับ...
Thank you for make this video i am Thailand ^^ 🇹🇭
ขอบคุณที่ทำวีดีโอนี้ค่ะ ดิฉันก็เป็นคนไทยเหมือนกันค่ะ ^^ 🇹🇭
I like Alux.com.. As requested before, please make a video on Area 51.. :)
why?
Yes!!
Simon Favela ,metoo I think they getting there fact from Wikipedia than from an extensive research.
I Live In Thailand & Every Morning I Wake Up To An Amazing View Mountians, Rice Fields, Green Trees, Ponds, But I Live In The Middle Of Nowhere Tho Theres only Like A 100 Houses Where I Live & About 200-300 People
I spent nearly three years there. Yes it is a dangerous place, something many toutists have no idea of. If you know the dangers, the risks, you can be reasonably safe since most Thais are compassionate & typically caring. You have to be smart about going out into the general population. There are many pickpockets, thieves & muggers around so guard against it, especiallt at night.
Go by taxi at night, keep your wallet away & well covered or concealed, aways assume the person you deal w/ may try to rip you off.
There is a lot of corruption too, so if you're ever arrested or ever have to deal w/ the police, know that money will usually assure a favorable outcome. Typically it's only about a few bucks, so get used to it, it's merely the cost of doing business. Don't take it personally. You'll be happier for it in the end.
That said, in most cases stick w/ the crowds, don't be very conspicuous, don't draw attention to yourself. Be kind & friendly, if strangers like your manner they'll be more likely to help you w/ kindness.
Bali pls nxt time alux
I travelled Thailand recently at the age of 16 without my parents or friends at a program. My parents were shocked about the fact that I was travelling via taxi at night. The main problem was language. Anyways its a beautiful country and I consider safe.
happy songkran everyone
Beautiful place I love to visit and film here
