Just catching up on some of your older videos as I figure out my move to Thailand, man what an amazing experience. And massive support for showing how many youtubers portray Thailand and so many other places around the world negatively just for views, really appreciate the honest view. Thai people seem so incredibly welcoming.
What an adorable kind hearted lady. This reminds me of how accommodating the Thai people were when I visited the wife's farm in Lukkae midway between Bangkok and Kanchanaburi. They really are awesome people the Thais. Great video Adam.
Hi Adam. Hands down, this is by far the best video from you in a long time. I myself, have been over to the Khlong Toei Railway community a couple of times when I was in Bangkok last year. They are really friendly people, who just want to talk to you. I soon realised, that they don't get hardly anybody from outside visiting them. I love the railway community and I could easily fit in if I were living down there. By the way, the little food stand at the entrance to the railway line (off the main road junction), does a really good Pad Krapow. I've had it there a couple of times, really really nice, and only 50Baht.
appreciate your positive take on Thailand. I've not found people more friendly and down to earth as I have here in Thailand. I've not even seen a fight in the two years I've been here, let alone something more dangerous. It's a beautiful place that everyone should try to visit sometime.
Thanks for sharing this video. It just comes to show, you don't have to have tons of money and fancy things to have a good time. It's the community and fellow-ship with families, new & old friends, that matter the most in life!
Hi Adam, great video! In my travels through Thailand I never once felt threatened or unsafe anywhere, even though most people said to stay away from some areas and people! Wish I could say that about some of the cities I have to work in here in America.
The least trustworthy people i met in thailand were other foreigners. Theres every kind of degenerate lurking in bars from fulltime moochers to police informants .
The value of that land is exceptionally high, situated in the heart of the city and conveniently close to everything. It's not surprising that people are determined to hold onto it, even if it wasn't originally theirs. In Thailand, there's a legal clause that allows individuals to claim ownership of a property if they've occupied it long enough, and if the property owner neglects to take legal action to remove them or collect rent. This legal provision makes it understandable why some are eager to secure their claim to the land. The owner of that land was the Thai Port Authority, and they were so overwhelmed that some people lived there, paying rent while others didn't. Over time, the situation grew more complex and difficult to resolve. Pursuing legal action against each resident in court would have taken hundreds of years! So, their solution was to offer a deal to the slum residents. The previous government proposed a deal for those living in the canal-side slums. The government would invest in building proper homes for them, eliminating the need for makeshift structures that blocked waterways and caused city flooding. In exchange, residents had the opportunity to purchase these homes at a very low interest rate. While this approach might seem unfair to those who followed the rules, it was the best solution for the situation. Many families chose to participate in this project, resulting in thousands of completed houses that significantly improved the area. However, the situation in Klongtoey was unique. It wasn't just a densely populated village; it was also home to legitimate businesses, not drug dealers or criminal organizations but decend people live there many even be able to get their kid gradution and still refuse to move away. Simply constructing towers and relocating people wouldn't suffice. Without a central market center and it will change the way of life of peoplr to unknow Im sure many will refuse. Attracting investors would be challenging. The location was so prime, situated near a highway-subway station and alongside the river - an ideal place for building upscale condominiums and shopping centre if the slum gonna even myself would like to move to live in that location.
You know that isn't true, you've been there before,I'm so glad you can show people what a real community is ❤❤,if this is a no go area,I would take it a 100 times over any city in England, beautiful people with old school values❤❤
lived in that area for 4 years, never had a problem, thai people are chill , as long as you respect them they're mostly super nice.. Thanks for the vid, love bangkok, love that area
It is wonderful to find someone who loves visiting popular places and getting to know local shops. Like me, I always stay away from upscale places designed for tourists and go to popular places.
Merci pour cette merveilleuse immersion, quel bonheur de partager avec les habitants la Thaïlande me manque des que je la quitte ( je suis rentré depuis seulement 10 jours ) vous m’avez fait rêver merci 🙏
Love it! I don’t live too far from here - all you hear is negativity about it - well done for showing it in such a positive light. This is why we all love Thailand - the people.
Hi Adam ,great video thank for sharing this i watched a little bit of the clip of that video and was disgusted about how degrading they portrayed things are not just in Thailand but other countries too it also pisses me off thank you for showing how kind friendly and generous the people are rather it is in my country of Thailand or anywhere else in this world
Hey Adam..man...that is so down to earth with you keeping it all real with no holes barred...i can see the true love of you to the people..humanity is getting with the people who love one another regardless of who..what..where they are...this is the main reason why i follow your channel..i know you will keep it real an honest in all things an places you visit..continue to show the world about good people..good things in life...this will keep you growing spiritually...an will keep your serenity an peace in check...you are one awesome soul...dont ever change...!!!
You’ve got a great way about you and genuine interest in others. It’s refreshing and very reminiscent of Anthony Bourdain (may he rest in peace) Keep up the excellent work bro, you’ll go far 🙏.
You're a legend mate! Most people don't have the goolies to go there, sure there's no doubt some seedy characters residing there. But I've never met anyone but friendly people there. Well done mate. I love seeing Aussies not just doing the same shit everyone else does. PS. If they say "saep bor?" to you, the answer would be "saep lai" (yummy) or "saep lai lai derrrrr!" (very yummy) 555.
Excellent video Adam! I've become a confirmed subscriber, & for me, your vids are the most interesting & informative Thailand vids I've seen to date. (I also watch and enjoy Tim Newton's daily news roundups). I like the honesty of your vids, & appreciate the fact that you square up to the negative media and hype that gets pushed on social media!!!
It's a good video clip in Khlong Toei. Because I saw perspectives and ways of life, happiness, etc. I am Thai but have never had the opportunity to see the scenery of Khlong Toei, which this clip made me smile. And the people there seemed very happy with life. Finally, thank you for making this video to convey perspectives in Thailand and Khlong Toei.☁🙏🙏
Why is it so popular for Thailand slander videos to go viral? Not just Thailand but honestly soo many different SE Asian countries. A bunch of clickbait, and people always eat it up because they prefer to hear the bad more than the good. I still remember watching the video that mentioned the entirety of Mindanao being the worst most dangerous place ever while I was there enjoying the absolute hell out of the place lol. Thanks for doing the good work and putting positivity into the air!
because people love to make fun of others to make themselves feel better, it's especially the case when it's something foreign and they hold no connection to which lets them be ignorant and judge it with no qualms while if it was a group they were connected to they wouldn't make fun of it.
Thank you for liking Thailand. And make the world know that Thailand is better than you think. Thank you for making the world see another side of Thailand. You really showed us beautiful things. I follow and support you.❤ 🎉 enjoy 😉
Great video Keis defiantly not a dangerous place at all. I feel like the people there are more inviting and friendly then some people in the City. stay safe mate
@babymusic2691 lots of people in Thailand are humble and just happy with what they have, but yes I believe more so I’m klong toey. Life is not always about money but being happy. 😊
Many of those people are from Isaan. When the lady asked you "Sep Ba?" about your food the answer is "Sep Lai" if it's delicious. That's Isaan. Aroy Mak, mai? is the same thing in Thai. Fun video to watch. Make your own decisions where you travel and visit. Love it!. Everyone is different.
Bro, thanks for keeping it real. Appreciate your support of the businesses but you don't over do the generosity like some american UA-camrs. So refreshing. 🤙
@@WakeupTarWell obviously not everyone in an entire country is going to be friendly but you can’t always focus on negatives. Don’t be a glass half empty guy
Best Thailand channel by far, the rest seem to just be about Pattaya and bar girls etc. gets boring very quick.. you should come down to koh Tao sometime🍻🍻 ✌🏼
I visited Klong Toey many times about 25 years ago when I was living in Bangkok. People would warn me about it being dangerous, but I never had a single issue, and only met people who were quite kind.
love your video, really relaxing and happy. Im Chinese and used to live in thailand for half an year, i have to say thai people's attitude towards life is really positive, no matter rich or poor. But in China, lots of people believe that one have to be rich to be happy, which makes normal people stressed out.
As always a good and nice time with those lovely poeple in Klong Toey mate 👊 So good to see my mate Jack had a awesome time with ya, cheers to ya both 🙌🍻
My dad worked at Kru Phrateep's foundation 30 years ago. It's a foundation that lifted up the quality of life in the Klong Toei community. It wasn't that bad, even back then. But the Western media keep collecting footage of garbage and drunken uncles 🤣🤣🤣 The area was much better. Klong Toei has come a long way.

It's probably the only country where you can walk into every house and ask for food. And they are happy to have you.

❤❤ถ้าเป็นคนไทยจะเป็นมิตรมาก แต่ ก็มีคนชอบหัวร้อนเช่นกัน ดูจากข่าว เช่น การขับขี่รถ พวกวัยรุ่นเลือดร้อนที่เมาแล้วหาเรื่อง เพราะ มีเยอะขึ้นทุกวัน ไหนจะแรงงานต่างชาติ เช่นเขรม เมียนมาร์ ลาว ที่เข้ามาในไทย ส่วนมากจะมาอาศัย มีลูก แต่ก็ระวังตัวดีที่สุดครับ
