      How come? Sex trafficking is a real thing and it happens a lot, aswell as prostitution and exploitation, moreover in places like Vietnam or Thailand where the tourism sometimes involves such things.
      Don't get me wrong I loved the video, and I also think of it as a crazy experience, however, I think most people would believe everything that happened. Couldn't it be?

    A tip: don't walk into a random hotel lobby or spa looking building called a "nhà nghỉ", it's most likely a brothel. Instead, find a bigger more official looking building called a "khách sạn", which is usually an actual hotel. The men in the video were prostitutes, and it was an uncomfortable situation but it's not their fault that this guy walked into the wrong place.

He says something about "travel [something...] is not the way [something...]"? If I were to guess, based on the body language though, I think he was basically trying to say don't be shy you can stay longer.

As someone who is a bit older and has often had deep regret about not having chosen a different direction in life when younger which might have taken me on this kind of path of adventure through our crazy and beautiful world, I thank you for the gift of being able to be able to experience it through your eyes, heart, and laughter. I have also shared your channel with some friends who feel similarly and they too have come to love it. At some point I recall a woman very assuredly saying that you are blessed. I wholeheartedly believe that she was and is very much correct. You unquestionably have a gift. Recognize it, don't let it go to your head, and you'll be good. Numbers will continue to go up, no doubt about it. It may be the end of this particular journey, but it could be just the beginning of so much more if you wish it to be. Straight up, all you gotta do is keep doin' it. Sending some love up to the sky for your Nan. PEACE and THANK YOU!

      @@houstoncathey458 No, it is just a regular tiny hotel with women customers. The gay old man just happens to be outside and sees this attractive American who is looking for a one-hour stay and wants to get him into a threesome without knowing the impact of getting his face on UA-cam which is a valuable opportunity to become very interesting video that looks like a set-up.

    Your "subtitles" had me rolling. But I have a feeling what they actually said might have been even funnier!

    I was fortunate enough to find this amazing channel today & have binged it for the entire day, one of, if not the best travel vlog series ever. I have travelled solo for several months myself and it is not smooth sailing as the other SEO targeted travel vloggers will have you believe. this is the only channel which really shows just how amazingly weird, awkward & interesting it really is.
    hats off to you mate, look forward to what you do in the future.
    also that hotel situation was genuinely one of the scariest things I have seen on YT, fuck that guy.

    I love how polite they are. I would definitely want to know more of the language while there, but they were all so cool

    honestly since i came across your Colombia playlist Colombia, i was amazed by how you manage through all of it despite the cartagena event which at least ended well unlike with me in 2015 living in Bucaramanga, left with 6 stab wounds... so i felt for you the second i saw that one happening and im sorry it happened to you. its an interesting journey seeing one by one all of your well acclaimed adventures! wish you happiness! stay safe

    Man, I feel your pain at the end there. I don't know why but shit like that happens way too often with flying. Following the rules trying to do what you're supposed to, still end up looking like the bad guy/having to do soo much to get your flight or in your case, not get it at all.. It sucks and definitely needs improvement. Thank you for all the vids!!

    You dancing at the wedding reminded me of some kind of video game cut scene lmao. Just, the entire vibe of it was surreal. I couldn’t stop laughing in utter confusion yet delight. Your reactions to it all were priceless yet so very understandable XD Fr though, I could never do this. The danger of going somewhere with little knowledge of the language and then to more rural parts…absolutely frightening (yet also intriguing). I’m so glad you survived it all 😭
