Dear Thai people, the reason I love to travel to thailand because of the delicious food and also nice scenery of those tourist places especially island...I didn't travel because of sex.
Thank you for letting us know, on behalf of all Thai ppl.. you’re welcome to visit anytime :) lol
Sure bud
@@triky5384 not everyone as horny as u bud...
@@lauashley6219 You can't fool people, you don't go to a barbecue and then say that you only ate the lettuce and tomatoes of a hamburger.
@@triky5384 what if I'm vegetarian and I go to bbq and I'm eating salad? Don't judge people before knowing them.
I'm an American who was privileged to live in Bangkok for 6 1/2 years. Nothing but respect for you and your country. My kids grew up there, and occasionally still refer to it as 'home.' You are some of the most gracious, funny and interesting people on all Earth. You have a kind of easy freedom and personal dignity that a lot of us foreigners really admire, and really struggle to adequately understand.
I'm Thai and here's the truth about Chinese tourists.
Singaporean Chinese: Great.
Hong Kong & Macau Chinese: Great.
Taiwanese Chinese: Great.
Young Mainland Chinese: Great.
Middle-aged and Elderly Mainland Chinese: Not so great :p
@@norpriest521 I have no experience about the Chinese people from Mainland China, but, as I heard from many people including my professor, most of the older generation of Mainland Chinese had very little experiences about the culture of other countries since they lived in the period when China was a closed country "Bamboo Curtain" as some Western Countries called, so they don't know how to behave properly when they are abroad. And, since they lived in the period when China was still poor, so they had to "be the first" to get anything unless they might get nothing. This behavior still exist in some old Mainland Chinese as you may hear that they are always not in the line for buying goods. The younger generation grew up in the period when China becomes economic superpower and very rich and they learn many things about other countries from the internet, so they can behave more properly than the older generation.
A lot of Thai people are really nice and kind , my ex she is from Thai too , really really really nice people there . Unlike our Chinese that the money is the god in China . I personally think young Chinese generation don’t like to travel with mid age Chinese , especially when the foods are ready , they all try to get it first without waiting on the line .
@@thboy1037 what you said is almost true, in china, we have separated world between different generations, it is really hard to get along with middle-old aged people, many of who are rude and uncivilized. For example, I never went to buffet here since many old guys grab the foods like crazys. I hope more people can know about china with more dimensions, we have good aspects, but also bad. The country is still developing and will become better in decades.
Totally agree on this, I personally saw an elderly Chinese lady took off her pants in the middle of the day in Chinatown and just pissed at the Chinatown gate. I was totally flabbergasted!
@@norpriest521 thailand is 40% with chinese bloods
I'm an American, my first thoughts of Thailand are their food, The King and I, and Siamese cats.
You must be female.
@Litigious Society Just don't mention The King and I there...it is banned and you could be arrested for insulting the monarchy.
Pity "The King and I" is banned in Thailand.
LIAR!, can't fool me even with that profile picture
That Guy just wanna let you know that everything which got ban in Thailand is not actually ban. Just google ‘The king and I’ and I can watch the full movie from the first link. (I’m a Thai person who now living in Thailand) 😶
I think you spent too much time asking them about prostitution. Maybe let them tell us about the real Thailand next time.
Song Master exactly
Agreed since the topic is thailand in general not prostitution its pretty off topic
@@anothermetha I agree. It seemed like a pushed agenda. I know sex tourism exists and is prominent there, but I think many tourists (including men) go to Thailand for so many more reasons beyond that such as beaches, jungle, mountains, cities, food, dance, temples, architecture, history, etc. Many people have a genuine interest in Thai culture. BTW Thai food is my FAVORITE!
@@brittanyleeful That's quite true. Lol thanks for loving our culture--I mean our food 😂😂 But I'm so pissed at the comments here though. Some are honestly disturbing.
It's relevant bc that's one of the first things Westerners think of re. Thailand. It's also a hot topic in the Asian manosphere who singlemindedly think of Thailand in terms of sex tourism.
Actually the Thai tourism board has been endeavouring to shed their country's brothel reputation since the 90s. We now have an increasing no. of tourists going to Thailand for legit holidays.
Hi there local Thai people, I apologize for all the tourists who don’t respect you and your culture. I love everything of Thailand, food, temples, architecture and so on, I only met good respectful Thai people and I’m so happy to be able to travel here every year. I wish the tourists one day will see how amazing Thailand and Thai people are.
It’s kind of depressing how most of these people think tourists come only for the sex industry but I’m sure Thailand in general has more to offer. Tourism is great for the economy but tourists should be respectful of the locals, nature, culture, etc.
But at the same time, tourism can bring destruction to the local ecosystem when tourists think they can throw garbage, plastic and other indecomposable materials into the ocean. It only takes a few individuals to ruin for the thousands. Anyways, I wish they didn’t generalize tourists as being desperate sex addicts
J Y it’s inaccurate and highly edited to push the idea that ‘farang’ are here for sex
@@BobbyDazzler888 it's not to push the idea. It's to represent some of the ideas that Thais have, which is honestly a reflection of what some foreigners did. Maybe you should stop trying to think that nothing like this happens. Because it does. A lot. And it's depressing that some of you don't even try to acknowledge it. This video obviously is not intended to diss tourists, or you. And Thais do love tourists. We love people who come here to learn new things and be open-minded. We love those who are kind to us as we are to them. Just stop trying to make this video less than what it is.
OhmyEffing Blackpink it’s actually dishonest and doesn’t represent a true perception or view. It’s a minority and for this reason it’s misleading
@@BobbyDazzler888 Yes, and it's stated by the guys in the video already. Those who are rude are a minority, comparing to all the tourists. The Thais know that not all of the tourists are the bad eggs. Mainly they don't care that the tourists come for sex tourism, they care more about how they treat Thai people generally. Just try to watch the video again. I'm one of them. I mean, you can go to prostitute all you want, you only have to know who's the prostitute. And knows that Thais are people too. The fact that you don't treat us like dirt doesn't mean others don't.
OhmyEffing Blackpink it goes both ways about how people should be treated. Tourists also get treated like dirt, cheated and preyed on. Corruption is clearly evident in the sex industry here if you just do some probing. Locals use the industry too and it’s just as much of a problem within the communities.
I am Singapore here and most SG people love thai culture including food and fashion. We respect thai people too as much as our own people during our trips there.
KelvinCrLin thanks you so much
Thank you so much all we wish can do back at you all
SABAI
thank you🙏🏻, and I have Singaporean friends too, she so much nice and friendly after they the everything they bought, they will say thank you in Thai language always, so nice and good manner. And the girl group can shopping all day😁😂. I use to shopping with them, my body feel low battery, but they still can shopping many hours👍🏻😁. 💚I love Singaporeans.
he's naive.
I am an Indian.. my experience with Thai people have been amazing.. they are hard working.. very honest.. and also helpful.. only very few people I had a bad experience.. but I guess that's everywhere.. I have traveled with my family.. and we enjoyed every bit of it.. I think sex industry is very small, compare to what other things Thailand has to offer.. food, culture, Temple's, and loving people!
I'm Polish and I love Thailand because I feel like home in your country. Unfortunately I don't live there but I wish I could. People are smiling, weather is good, food is healthy. Never been in Thailand for sex.
Tourists are cool, as long as they’re respectful.
Expect the other countries.
A lot of things keep drawing me back to Thailand, I said many trips ago that it would be my last time and now I’m headed back in a few months. It’s the perfect place to start travelling from, flights are cheap into Bangkok and cheap out if you want to go to neighbouring countries. I find Thai food to be wonderful as there are so many choices (even as a vegan) the fruit is unbelievable also. Thai people are extremely sweet and caring though sometimes I wish they would say what they are thinking instead of being polite. If you want to go to the tourist spots and meet people who are wearing elephant pants and just want to party you can! Or... you can go visit some islands that don’t get many tourists, ride the local bus, explore, volunteer somewhere, maybe go on a free mediation retreat and learn about Buddhism. There is so much to be done in Thailand and I am forever thankful for being able to get a visa on arrival. As one of the first places i ever travelled solo, Thailand will always have a place in my heart 🙏🏼
A perfect description of what Thailand really means to many people. Thank you for that! (my wife and I are heading back in Summer 2019 to get some diving done and to soothe our battered souls!)
@Ramiz Ali and lots of Saudis looking for ladyboys because they can't be homosexual at home😂. You've never been to Bangkok i guess..
These terrible elephant pants are so typical of Thailand tourists. I myself made a roundtrip through Thailand a few weeks ago and I loved it!
the prices as increased in thailand. "I wish they would say what they are thinking instead of being polite." good reason why i wouldn't trust the locals.
Very sad video, me and even my parents use to come to Thailand, because we love the culture, the history, the food, the landscape, the mountain in the north or the beaches in the south, the handicraft etc and absolutely nothing about sex.
Greeting from France.
Nicolas Nicolas we welcome you always
For me so sad but true 😭 many people
thought about thailand number 1 is SEX
But we thankful 💓 you love my country 🇹🇭
Thailand is the best place more than sex 💓🙏🏻
Anniesa Weranawong kop kun krap ;)
Thank you for your love 🙏🏻💙
Mai pen rai krap 🙏🏻
I’m one of Thai people who love French culture and language I started to learn French because I love this language so much and French history I know some of French people is rude that’s stereotype But I’m still love French stuff Merci Du Fond Du Coeur❤
As Thai people, I admitted that Thailand has prostitution, but it doesn't mean Thai people are easy. I met bad tourists (sorry for the word "bad") who are without the respectation and good attitudes like some comments here. That makes me think "Why do you travel this country if you do not like here? " because of you repress from your country? I wanna tell you that if you were educated, please respect others. Please make your "well-educated" accomplish to yourself.
Just came back from Bangkok
I have been to Bangkok for over 30 times. Never once for Sex tourism. Amazing country with amazing people and amazing food. People are really courteous there. Definitely recommend everyone to head there at least once it their lives.
30 times... why don't you just live there then
We always welcome you back.👍
to learn their language? nope i don't plus too many of rigid rules
why didn't you try sex tourism ? thai people like it
I love thailand because of cheap and laid-back lifestyle. Thai people are quite friendly and hospitable once you get to know them better. Thai food is also delicious especially if you're into spicy foods. I like how thais are nice to animals even to stray dogs & cats sharing some food to abandoned/ homeless pets
ผมเป็นคนมาเลเซียครับ ตอนเป็นเด็กผมเคยอยู่กับย่าที่เมืองไทยครับ มีหลายอย่างที่ผมชอบเกี่ยวกับเมืองไทยนะ อาหาร ประเพณี วัฒนธรรม ภาษา แล้วก็มีเยอะมากของดีเกี่ยวกับเมืองไทยนะ ผมชอบเมืองไทยมากนะ 🙏
I wish I understood what that meant
Saya orang Thai. Anda boleh berbahasa Thai yang sungguh bagus. Wow. Kadang-kadang saya pergi cuti-cuti di Malaysia, tetapi saya tak boleh guna Bahasa Malaysia seperti yang anda guna Bahasa Thai. You're amazing, man.
@@stepbruh9215 The OP said that he is a Malaysian who used to live with his grandma in Thailand when he was little and that there are many things that he likes about the country. The entire comment was impressively written in eloquent, perfect Thai. Amazing.
honjokun06 Oh cool thank you for translating, and may I ask where you are from and how you know Malaysian and Thai?!?! And I see some words in Malaysian that are the same in my language which I find pretty cool
@@stepbruh9215 I'm Thai and I took some Bahasa Malaysia classes. What language do you speak?
Thank you Asian Boss for more videos about Thailand. :)
As a Thai, I think that it is very good to have the videos like this to show more details or more perspectives about Thailand from Thai people's views to foreigners, to make them know and understand more about Thailand and Thai people. I hope there will be more videos about Thailand in the future.
I would like to recommend some topics here, "Being a Buddhist monk in Thailand." "How do Thais feel about School/University Uniforms?" "Do Thais think that Thai language is hard?" "How do Thais feel about Idols?" "How do Thais/Thai men feel about Conscription?" "How do Thais feel about Thai people's English Proficiency?" "How do Thais feel about J - Pop/K - Pop?" "Being a Luk Kreung, Half Thai in Thailand." "How do Thais feel about USA/Japan/Korea/India/Russia/Europe/ASEAN Nations?"
THboy10 Omg... being half Thai hits home loll. I'm one too and it's kinda difficult... even though I can speak Thai, I look too white so they always assume I'm not Thai. And even though I explain I'm half, they say "oh... well ur Thai is very nice! For a foreigner!" TT
Im chinese thai also i really agree with you’re cm and wish to see more video topic like this in the future
Good points here
Funfact-
1) Thai and Tai Ahom languages are very similar
2) I am Tai Ahom and when we take our DNA test it shows that we belong to Thailand
• We Tai Ahoms are Dehong Dai peoples
The Thai videos are fantastic and really carry a lot more depth than the usual plethora of China vs USA cultural acclimations and/or Japanese "Are you surprised foreigners like manga?" batch. Not to denigrate those videos - they serve a purpose of the west's continued fascination with archetypal ideas of "The East." But the Thai series feels like real journalism. Keep it up, guys!
As an American living in Northern Thailand, I can say that my experience here has been incredible (and it is because of the Thai people and the Hill tribe people for why that is). Yeah even here in the North there is prostitution, but you know what - that is anywhere in the world these days. Come to Thailand and show the Thais how kind-hearted you are, and you will never be treated badly.
i LOVE thailand for the food, prices (lol), friendly people, weather, and how chill and slow paced everything is. lived in chiang mai for a month and will definitely go again because it's my most favorite place in the world!!!
I'm really impressed that every Thai interviewees with greatest smiles.
The interviewer is so beautiful! She did a great job with the questions to the locals. It was nice to hear about the Thai people's opinions about tourists. I hope everyone who visits Thailand will be well mannered and on their best behavior as they travel around the country.
The smiling fat guy is so adorable! I loved him! Such a good vibe! He seems to be really nice to talk!
I have been to Thailand before and I loved it! It is true that Chinese citizens have a very bad reputation as tourists among Thai people. My Thai friends say that Chinese people born after the Cultural Revolution tend to be impolite, but I am not sure. I have met a Chinese guy and a Chinese couple when I was in Phuket and they were friendly. Maybe it is just a negative stereotype.
I will not lie, one of my many interests in Thailand are boys. Of course I was not there to look specifically for sex, but I intended to meet Thai gay boys to hang out and I did that. But, being honest, men were not the thing that I most liked there. I think Thai food comes first (Tom Yam is better than any Thai boy I have met), Thai temples and historical sites comes in second. Finally, closing the top 3, Thai boys.
For the record, I became interested in Thailand because of Buddhism. Lovely country, I hope I can come back next year.
I hope that by boys, you mean men.
Don't come to Thailand bro
Too many gay people walking the street these days
I agree the mainland Chinese tourists do have a less than desirable reputation but it's usually the ones the come out of tour buses. Phuket attracts more individual travelers (smaller groups typically below 5) which could be why they're more well behaved. The large groups come with a mob mentality and are probably out of their country for their first or very few times. I don't know about the part whereby those born after the cultural revolution are more impolite since the ones I've personally told off for misbehaving in Thailand are the older "aunties & uncles".
@@heesingsia4634 I don't know. It is just what my Thai friend told me. In fact, the chinese people I have met were trevelling alone.
@@NaeemCho The Thai I dated when I was in Bangkok was a young English translator. He was 22 years old and not so mature. We liked to talk about Japanese animes, Stranger Things and Nerd stuffs. I consider him a boy, not a men.
The thing I liked most about Thailand were it's people. Everyone was so nice, friendly and helpful. Everyone was always smiling and people seemed to be generally happy. That's what attracted me most.
Thais are open minded and friendly...👍
As someone who lived among the Thai for a year back in 2012, I would return in a heartbeat, if given the chance. Not because of "the usual" things, but because it felt like my home. The people, the culture (my very second day in-country was SongKran), the food, and the way people just smile so much. Sure, I was there in a missionary capacity, but I feel like I could go back as a tourist and still make friends, even easier I think, and have a helluva time there.
I will always say that Thailand has what you seek, no matter what that thing is.
I wasn't aware Thai people assumed that about tourists!
I enjoyed my visit to Thailand since the country is so large with a variety of activities from city life in Bangkok to more outdoor activities in Chiang Mai/Rai. Plus its very affordable and imo pretty safe from my experience, also authentic Thai food was was so delicious and the cooking classes were pretty fun.
Plus the locals are very friendly and helpful!
Which was great since we got lost quite a bit 5555 😅
They don't have that assumption toward all foreigners. It depends on how you look. If you look like a party guy/girl, well maybe...
love to go to Thailand, but do not want to be labeled as a you know what tourist...
Andrew K you won’t. This video is pushing an agenda that tourists are sec tourists. It’s not accurate at all.
As long as you act proper you will be fine. You could always go with a friend or girlfriend as well, more fun that way, plus you dont fit the stigma of a single guy perv'ing around.
I would love to visit Thailand, too! I’ve seen the 2nd Hangover movie👀 Been perfecting my backhand ping pong return just in case😂. Jokes aside, I’m Thai and was born in Texas. Don’t think I can ever commit to the time it takes to get there.
Like the video said, Thailand gets 35 MILLION tourists a year. That's a lot of different people from different cultures with different ages and histories and mannerisms and different things they want out of a trip to a foreign country. Some want sex, some want Thai massages, some want to try staying at a nice hotel for $50, some want to see what everyone else is talking about, some want to retire there, some want to get medical procedures, some want to see the Buddhist temples, some want to try the food, some want to visit friends, some just have nothing better to do, etc.
Loin nununu bend over, I’ll show you who’s boss.
I love Thailand! The locals are very friendly and polite people. I only had issues with tourists (russian, Eastern Europeans, indians and chinese) in regards to their rude behavior. I feel that you travel to another country you need to respect the culture and the people!
same here. ive lived here 5 years and have NEVER had a real issue with a thai person. always been Europeans and Americans.
I’m American and I cringe when I see other americans acting like assholes in public. I always get second hand embarrassment. Although I havent seen many Americans in Thailand. My stepmom is Thai so I’m barely around tourists.
I’m a girl and a 3rd generation minority but go off I guess 🤷🏽♀️ lol
polite iosq different than frier,ndly
Indonesian here. I love Thailand because of its food and shopping! You also have the most friendly people in the world.
I've been to Thailand three times and I really love the hotels scenes and foods and also feet massage👍 very good place for family trip
Thai people are friendly, accommodating, and humourous. They have a very robust underground music scene. They have amazing contemporary artists and designers. AND they have awesome food.
sombrance Your aspects about Thailand are very interesring. Good interesting.
Thai ppl are the most good looking Southeast Asians
I agree. And the best culture lok
I am Thai and i am so ugly lol
@@mumu6895 Everyone was born with attractiveness, so don't classify yourself as an ugly person.

Your channel is my inspiration, Asian Boss! :)
Kittichai in Thailand sawasdee kha p’kit 😂
I've been in Thailand for couple weeks for internship and took some tour too. Thailand is so great with food, and i love it because i could find pork everywhere (which is kinda hard to find in my country), and the price is sooooooo affordable :) So many great places to visit in Thailand, like the market, the temples, the beach. I love Thailand and I'm looking forward to visit it later
Me and my family always go to Thailand for pilgrimage to beautiful sacred temples with their Buddhist monks. Loved the people we met, and the food we ate. Fresh fruits are simply amazing there.
Bless you!
cause u learned thai
I love their honesty in this video. I went there last 2019 and it felt like a 2nd home.
They smiled a lot! 😍
Southeast asians are so friendly. Love Thailand and Indonesia 👍
dek heay that happens everywhere in every country, it’s unfortunate. In Europe and America too, there are lots of terrorists.
I loved their HONEST and candid comments! I love to go some day. Peace & Love,guys!
I like the ending guide and stuff that was more heart centered and helpful. Beautiful people you interviewed, what a gem of a country! :)
Thumbnail girl is beautiful
You said it brother
Andax The Bro so is the girl interviewing
Gotta be careful, traps everywhere brothasss
She looks like Daisy(Sky) from Agents of Shield
She looks like a mixed race girl. Half White half Thai.
That's obvious she's not 100% Thai.
She also was the one with the most English words in her Thai.
Good job ASIANBOSS! Keep going like this! 💪🏼❤️
Queen Bey terrible job, highly biased and inaccurate
This site is rapidly becoming a favorite..... you bring such real topics to life....... that others won't touch. Thank you!!!!!!!
Ohhh thanks for the like 😊👌🏽
Thai people answering questions in Thai isn’t accurate? Come on. People here want to hear Thai people talk about their opinions of the sex industry and sex tourists. If they didn’t address this and made you happy the comments would have be filled with people who would have said they were dodging the issue. You don’t think Asian Boss reads the comments and knows what the audience wants to know about?
I actually just like the country, food and culture and want to go back because of it, people are really friendly and I enjoyed my trip, thanks everyone from thailand for my great holiday experience!
I went to Bangkok and pattaya just to visit the famous temples, floating markets, amusement parks, beaches etc. I loved the culture so much and it's a great place for street shopping! The theater there was a magical experience as well
As a thai i sadly of some tourist travel and assume all of thai women in wrong reason and disrespect instead to think positive but i really thankful of asian boss to interview what are really thai is and personally think and i hope to see more interview videos about thai next ^^
I love your interviews..always great insights on certain issues
Amazing video. I love your channel its very informative. Thanks
When I went to Thailand, I went to see family and explore their very interesting culture! As a child, I never had any other intention for my tourism other than innocent and fun exploring of the new country, so I never even knew THAT (y’know) side of Thailand’s tourism industry even existed until years after
I'll be having a Student Exchange next semester in Thailand, and this video was great to me.
Plus Praew is SO SMOOTH.
HELLO HOW WAS YOUR EXCHANGE?? Im Supposed to go to china for my exchange but after having spent 2-3weeks in Thailand im Really considering changing it!
the reason i love thailand are because of their peoples, their manners, how. they talk, their language and of coz thai foods.. i love travel to thailand..
a few months ago i started getting really interested in thai culture and honestly, before that i didnt even know about the whole prostitution thing and its really sad to see people think thailand is only that..
Asian tourist has least for that...
I'm one of those who love Thailand for the beautiful smiles and friendliness. Thailand has a lot to offer the rivers and temples and awesome beaches. I definitely didn't go to Thailand for sex.
Why did I decide to go to Thailand...the food is delicious, people are super chill, natural scenic surroundings abound and loads of beautiful buddhist temples to visit. If you're looking for sex/prostitution it's there, but it doesn't permeate every bit of day to day life. Thailand is awesome, would definitely recommend to anyone who has the time and means to get there!
Can you do more Thai Videos plz?
Very interesting interviews, loved this. I'm American, and I am married to a wonderful Thai women from Isaan who I met while I was in military in Udornthani 45 years ago. I have traveled to Thailand frequently over many years. I give travel advice to tourists on Thailand on TripAdvisor. It is true sex tourism exists in the country, and many go there, and other countries like Philipines for same. But most tourists I encounter go for other reasons. Thailand has a great reputation, at least among Western nations, for friendly people, awesome culture, shopping opportunities, fantastic food, low costs, beautiful scenery and natural scenic locations such as parks, beaches, etc. I love the people and food. I recommend Thailand to everyone. Great people and culture
I love tourist as long as they are not being rude or disrespectful to the place they are visiting. It makes me happy that people from all over the world would take the time to visit my city/country.
I agree with what one of the interviewees said. One of the interviewees said that he didn't feel good that Thailand was known for sex tourism/prostitution and that it would be better if the country was know for culture, art, or its traditional dance. The closing line of most Asian Boss videos is "Stay curious." I'm curious as to what Thai people think about what it means to be Thai. I think other people who wish to come to Thailand should be curious about the identity of the Thai people. They should think about the question, "What does it mean to be Thai?" and seek education and/or experiences to be like the local people.
Interesting
I've been to Thailand twice and I love it! I'm from Sweden, we have pitch black darkness and cold 5 mounts/year and be able to go to Thailand and see the sun again is just awesome! I've never even talked to a prostitute in my life and it's not about sex for me, but the weather, great food and really nice people 🙂
Sad that some tourists are rude. We should all be respectful and behave when we visit someones else's country.
Such a honest video! You have a new subbie! Love content like this
Thank you for subtitles! In the video
3:25 the girl's smile.. so cute
2.53 น่าจะพูดว่า gray business ที่หมายถึง business สีเทานะครับ ไม่น่าใช่ gay
Good work:) Thanks!
I visited Thailand in 2018 and I must say, thai people are sooooooooo sweeeeet, they made us feel comfortable and kept complimenting my eyes (I'm an Indian). They are very sweet and approachable ❤️
Tourists come to Thailand for delicious food, friendly people, and Thai culture.....maybe y’all should make more videos about that 🙂
I once had holiday in Thailand, and It was nice memories, delicious food, beautiful islands, modern city center and so on. But I heard on my first day in Bangkok from another pair of tourists about the bad behavior of taxi driver what happened to them. Since then we were afraid in Bangkok to take a cab, only took public traffic like the boat shuttle, metro. Maybe I was lucky in Thailand and everything was fine. I shared my good holiday experiences to turken friend when I was told in Turkey, Thailand is a symbol which is connected to the sex tourism. Also many times share to German friends about what I saw and my experience in different asiem countries, because many of them have no idea about East Asia or they underdefine them.
Great content to better understand what Thais think about tourists, in general.
I've only been once, but I love Thailand. Amazingly helpful people assisting me to find locations I was seeking and quality food, service and shopping. Can't wait to return. Respect
every has such high voices almost like singing!
I went to Thailand last October for BNK48's event. I met a lot of ppl there and all of them are really accommodating. I'm glad they didn't thought of me as someone who's after prostitution lol
Well, after going there once, I came to love the country and the ppl. I'll make sure to go back next year and eat more delicious food :D
Most mature and understanding people ive seen
I visited Thailand this year - there is so much beauty to be seen there and Thai people are amazing!
Even though Thai government ban prostitution, it still will be running but in secrecy. My country Malaysia is against prostitution but still you can see prostitutes are roaming around in KL especially in hotels to offer the service.
I've been to Bangkok around 20 years ago. It reminds me of my home, Manila. There are noticeably more foreigners there. I've even seen a number of what seems to be Africans looking like street merchants. You don't see that in Manila.
Food is the one thing that's memorable from the place. Possibly the best foreign cuisine I've tasted. The tamarind is to die for. And their street cuisine is probably the best out there.
The locals look attractive. Mostly a mix of Chinese and Malay ethnicity.
The city isn't that much of a show-off city like Hong Kong is. It's more like Manila, but cleaner and with better infrastructure.
Manila has its own charm, I think Filipinos are much more hospitable.
Would love to go to Thailand the people seem respectful, hospitable and friendly plus the food is amazing, you get good and bad in every country. Embrace it
I have always wanted to visit Thailand. The language, the culture, the locations, the warm people, all of it is beautiful to me. One day I hope to be able to go there.
I don't travel specifically to Thailand or much of Asian because our travel advisor explained to me that because I am on a great deal of medication, getting it passed so that I can legally carry it with me is very hard and can cause problems even if I have the right permissions. But one day perhaps it can happen.
the girl in the thumbnail is really beautiful
she was a dude before plastic surgery.

So often I see Thailand's muslim neighbors make this lame joke to Thai women and transwomen.
The more I see this kind of attitude from foreigners, the more proud I am for my country.
@Nitinun Weerapantakul
nah that person is not salty.
But I think you're the one salty.
That person just simply saying that a person was a dude before having sex surgery.
I don't think there's a hate or love in that sentence.
It's a normal sentence.
@Nitinun Weerapantakul
That's just an "affirmative sentence" bro.
You should learn it.
Tell me if there's a hate in that comment?
Tell me that person said anything about he hate them?
I don't see anything wrong with that comment.
It's very very normal sentence
Thais know Girls from neighboring countries are everywhere in Pattaya Phuket Bangkok Chiangmai. Only police don’t know about this.
one of my favorite things in Thailand was Thai's kindness and cheerfulness ❤️ (ok and their food also!!)
All of these peoples responses are extremely articulate and well-thought out! I really appreciate their perspectives on sex tourism in Thailand!
I truly respect and like Thailand and Thai people. I don't really think Thailand is famous for sex industry. I think Thailand is famous for its beautiful natural scenes, sunny beaches, yummy foods and juicy fruits(especially durian). I also find Thai guys very cute, such as the one in my profile pic, but I don't think people should treat them like prostitutes. Thai people are cute and friendly, in a very good way.
Respect and love from China.

6:52 I like her voice. 💕
The big guy with the glasses is awesome. It was fun watching him smile and seeing his eyes dart around when she asked how easy it was to buy the private company of a lady. He knows!
Interesting, i visit bangkok before, thanks for this video😎
And before you commenting on the videos crying over how much Thais view with the foreigners are wrong and all that. Watch it till the end. They know that not all of the tourists are bad and rude. They know that more are genuinely nice.
I'm a European living permanently in Thailand for over a year now. Thailand has no winters, so it's sunny and palmy all year round, which is great coming from Europe for example. Thai people are very polite, modest and always happy to help. They value family and friendship and stick together. I can not say the same about Europeans. The variety of food is superb, I gave up European food completely, it's amazing! My thai girlfriend is an amazing cook, which brings me to my next point. Many Thai women are hard working and modest. They are not misguided by feminism like in the East. They make excellent wives. Thais are very open minded, so if you are gay for example and struggle with self-expression in your country, in Thailand you can be who you are, people won't judge you for that. Just look at all the ladyboys on TV lol. Thailand is also not ruled by big companies and is more lax with laws. There are countless street food shops all around. People just sell their food out of their houses! You can get great food for cheap. Amazing! Thailand has beautiful beaches and sceneries, a strong and fascinating culture and much much more. Yes, we have beautiful women and a buzzing nightlife too, you can find cheap booze and sex but saying that prostitution is the only thing that is worthwhile visiting here is just wrong. I neither drink nor visit prostitutes (being 99% honest ;) and while Thailand certainly has it's drawbacks (no Amazon!) it's a cozy place to spend your life in.
hold up u said 99%
you have a wife and you said you are being 99% honest... wtf i’m truly sorry for your wife
“they are not misguided by feminism” lol feminism is not a bad thing, but again you are a white male what can I expect
boring life spotted
This past summer, I was studying abroad at Peking University. One day, a bunch of Thai immigration officials come to the university for a cultural thing (not sure what exactly). They were all so sweet and friendly, and they wanted to take pictures of everything! That was very nice.
Good video. Very mature and friendly people.
3:57 she is so beautiful..😩❤️
I'm from Brazil. I don't have this image of Thailand as a predominant sex-tourism place to go. I think it has so much to do with older men, especially older Europeans/Aussies/etc - and the way they see and search for this specifically thing - as they also do in my country. I'm pretty sure most of Brazilians think about Thailand as a land of beautiful people, delicious food and extraordinary culture. Not mentioning the beaches and this kind of stuff.
Love Thailand so much! The food and culture is amazing! And don’t forget the diving! Can’t wait for my next trip!
They seem like a pretty happy people, nice to see
Why was the topic of sex tourism the bulk of this interview? Want us to think differently about Thailand then show us something different about Thailand.
Exactly. I'd like to know some thing abouts Thailand
on the surface it seems to be general, but the interview focuses on sex industry...to me, it's their personal point of view and want to get rid of it so they have peace in mind
Because it was the topic discussed in the video.
Its ok to try and think differently about Thailand but the fact still remains. Sex tourism is HUGE in Thailand. Dont sugar coat it. Talking about it wont change anything.
@@Wizardone202 I'm really sure you care about the well being of Thai women and not using them for your white talking points.
*I would love to go to Thailand someday - their food and culture is everything* ❤️ I hate it when tourists travel for the wrong reasons or disrespect - gives other good tourists a bad rep
chococatchristi yes true. This video should not deter you from going. It’s biased and misleading to say the least.
@@BobbyDazzler888 it's really sad. They have so much diversity but it has been limited in some peoples minds as a place to get cheap sex
Mending Wall who said it’s cheap? I wouldn’t be assuming it’s cheap just like I wouldn’t assume that a solo male traveler visits Thailand just to have sex with prostitutes. This video is highly inaccurate and focusing on a very small minority
Greg Mieg
Yep - exactly!
@@BobbyDazzler888 it may be cheap in comparison to where they come from. And please notice how I said SOME peoples minds. Not all.
I’m from Europe and i come to Thailand for the lovely warm weather and beautiful and differend nature, sea.. and good food!!
Thailand is one of the best countries on earth regarding the culture and food. Thai people are kind and generous, warm and helpful. Much respect to thai people.
Very happy you guys are bringing Thailand a bit into focus here, too. Sadly, Sex tourism IS what lot of people associate Thailand with. Here in Austria, people joke a lot about it as well (just like they do about any other stereotype) So I understand why this topic is covered a lot. Personally, one of my fav film directors is from Thailand, so that's when I became interested in it.
i think its because mainstream media always used to focus on the aspect of Sex tourism,, they are the ones shaping this stereotypes
