LMAOOO❤
It's just a privilege if you come across Thai people who can converse with you in English when you are holidaying in Thailand.
I think tourists and foreigners forget that they are supposed to attempt Thai, and not use English, when they are there.
I'm a Singaporean by the way. I remember carrying around a Thai translation book when I backpacked there a decade ago. There's no Google translation during my time. But it's so much easier with Google translation on your handphone nowadays.
For those who post nonsensical comment about why Thai people can't speak English well. This is food for thought. I never come across comments by American or British who question why the whites in US and UK can't speak Chinese/ Japanese/ Korean/ Thai. So why are we expecting Thai people to be proficient in English when their native language is Thai? It doesn't make sense for you to use a standard to judge others and not apply that same standard on yourself.
Next time you visit Malaysia..speak Malay..at least make an attempt..
@@amirflorant3672 I agree. Terima kasih
I'm British and have been in Thailand for 2 months now. I made a point of learning the basics so whenever I initiate a conversation with someone, I speak in Thai.
It at least shows I care & everyone seems really happy when I try.
In England at least, there's absolutely no drive to learn any other language in school
ไช่คับ ส่วนตัวผมคิดว่าพูดอังกฤษใด้ไม่ใด้หมายความว่าคุณจะเป็นคนเก่งเสมอไป
Whenever I speak Thai they respond in English. I've been here for 4 years and it seems majority want to practice their English with me.
Their understanding is better than a lot of Thai people I have met in Australia.
Many Thais who worked overseas as a lobour they cannot find a good job here in Thailand because has not good education and they have to go overseas to do those hard work jobs because they could earn good money there. So most Thai labour who worked overseas couldn't compare to these people who had good education in Bangkok atleast I bet most of people here are students in the university and more than 95% here must be completed Bachelor's degree otherwise you couldn't find a job here easy, but Thai labour overseas most of them are from rural areas in country side provinces of Thailand and they have no degree my friend. These kids here they have money and when they go abroad they go as a tourist like when you guys come to Thailand they do not go to work as a lobor there.
Krittayuk, my comment was only about the ones I have met. It was not a judgement on all Thai people in Australia, nor was it intended to be.
In any case, it wasn't meant to be a criticism. Kudos to anyone who can pick up a second or third language!
@@kiddrueang He didn't judge the majority. What do you mean? He said "better than a lot of Thai people I have met".
There could be many reasons for those Thais abroad not being able to speak English. Ironically, probably the same reason to European/Aussie immigrants in Thailand who can't speak any Thai, whilst some of their compatriots living in their home country could speak Thai very well.
Mainly, due to their educational backgrounds and their attempt to learn and speak it. Also depending whether they live in their Thai bubble abroad, same as Farang immigrants sticking to each other in Thailand.
As a thai person i would say that's true
I was so rooting for all of them. I think they probably understood the context but got confused / forgot the details. Your laughter is infectious !
love the purpose of this vid especially the go out and speak whatever language you’re learning. The best way to be good at it is to use it!
I clicked on this because RUclips recommended it. I literally GASPED when I heard your Australian accent! 😭 You definitely sparked some inspiration in me! 🙏 Thank you and keep going!
It's great that you're uploading a lot again! These videos are great for learning Thai and enjoyable to watch regardless!
Great video! You should do it again but they have to say the Thai sentence in English.
Definitely a good idea!
Absolutely, I was about to say the same 😀
You've also got to it the other other way around, asking farang to translate Thai to English or English to Thai. You might need to offer a bigger prize though since few will win (-:

Great content Paddy! And to believe you started off on the streets of Sydney and now you’re doing it in BKK. stellar!
เห็นได้เลย ส่วนมากคนไทยค่อนข้างอ่อนภาษาอังกฤษ ระดับภาษาคนไทยจะได้อยู่ระดับกลาง ได้แค่สื่อสารกับศัพท์ง่ายๆ แล้วก็บางคนฟังเข้าใจแต่ไม่รู้จะเรียงออกมาเป็นประโยคนังไง เราก็หนึ่งในนั้นที่เข้าใจแต่ไม่รู้จะเรียงออกมาเป็นประโยคยังไง🤣🤣
If then why don't you use google translate instead and why do you speak thai in this video?
@@Asian_ItalyIdk he just wanted to comment in a video about thai
@@Lexi_pudding ok
@@Lexi_pudding ok
@@Asian_ItalyI would prefer to learn more than google translate
This is great man, fun, interesting, simple.. nice approach too. Awesome vid. I always sort of assumed a lot people could understand English even if they don’t speak it…
โอ๊ยสนุกมากเลยค่ะ เราก็พยายามแปลในภาษาไทยด้วย ชอบๆเลยค่ะ hope to see more content like this (sentence translation) ❤️😁
Enjoyed this Paddy, it's great when you interact with the local Thais, more of the same/similar please.
P.s great to see you back in Thailand
Well done 👍🏻 good concept and well executed. Very enjoyable video Paddy
Hope you can do more of vids like this. I am learning thai and it’s fun to guess the translation first before hearing the correct one. Hahaha 👍 enjoyed it very much.
Love what you are doing. Keep it up!
Love it, so funny 🤣 Bless them 😊🙏
Firstly welcome back home Paddy ! I’m still stuck here in bkk hope to catch up w you in Chatswood Chase ! Cheers, Pat
6 cases 🤣🤣 great video bro this type of content is always great to watch and funny
Yo Paddy! That was a great vid! Good fun too.
Thank you so much for this video! I am a Thai beginner and I could understand most of what you and they said in the video. Again, Thanks Paddy!
I understood so many words, but kept forgetting how they formed the sentence and then the conversation! 🤣
Fantastic work!
@@ThaiTalkwithPaddy What's the reason you got so good in Thai?
เปนรายการที่ดี ดูจบ แบบไม่ข้ามสนุกดีๆ 👍
I'm kinda half assing this! I'm not getting it right, but...well ..not nearly, but lots of words and getting the gist of it across. I'm crap with prepositions and grammar, but my vocabulary is really getting there! It's a bit of a thrill when you instantly know what the word for bottle or nervous is!!
This is fun to watch, me following along trying to translate in Thai as well
I'm a Filipino and I really love Thai accent it's very cute ❤️
เป็นรายการที่ดีมากค่ะ
6:27 I was impressed by the black shirt man, his laughter is sooo infectious hahaha It can make my day😂
4:58 So cute. A bit of Thai bargaining as well as really good English!
This was awesome!!!
Great Video, when I was in Bangkok most of the English speakers is the younger Generation❤️❤️❤️
+1 to the game format! It's very entertaining.
Some other variations might be:
* You have five objects with you. Can they name them in English?
* You point to five things nearby (bridge, window, etc). Same deal.
* You name five things in English, all visible from where you're standing. I want to suggest "manhole cover" here because of the potential hilarious misunderstandings, but I reckon that's just too difficult anyway :P
* Can they identify English accents from a recording? (again, maybe too difficult, IDK)
* Translating quirky English expressions ("hold your horses", "quit cold turkey", etc). I feel like making those into multiple choice questions would be more reasonable than point blank translation.
Just some random thoughts.
Either way, keep up the great work.
Loved it Paddy. Could have sworn you were in Sydney Thai town lol. Great interactions
Thanks a lot Matt!
So interesting and fun☺️☺️
Khop Khun krub🙏
Please do the same forma again and let them say the sentence in engish. Fantastic video.
Very fun video I enjoyed it very much
wow! their listening comprehension is very good !
That was a cool contest. I'm glad you still gave those that lost 100 Baht.
สนุกดีค่ะ..I like that.
Im a thai person , and i enjoy watching your video !
Thank you so much for watching!!
@@ThaiTalkwithPaddy No problem !
Wow through watching your videos I have learned that many Thai people can at least understand English rather well.
This gives me hope for meeting my future wife there
Great game, Paddy!
This was fun, wouldn't mind see more of this. To throw in a few of twists you can:
1. say something in Thai and they have to give you the correct sentence back in English
2. you can write down 20 (or whatever many) sentences, let them choose five and ask them to translate
3. ask them to write 5 sentences in English
Great content👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You should do one with foreigners living in Thailand for more than five years and let’s see how much they have learnt, my guess is you will probably find one in a hundred who wasn’t to lazy to learn the language 😂 that’s if you can get them out the bars 😂.
I know people that have lived here for 20-25 years and barely know the basics. It’s pretty embarrassing.
@@tastelesschicken5664 If they've managed to get around for that long while barely knowing the basics than I'd say that's pretty imprssive.
@@willenhall12345 well, staying in bars and messing around don’t require u to know the basics of Thai language😂
When most old men arrive after retirement, you can't expect them to learn too much.
Have some respect for elderly.
Young ones, thats different.
@@LabRat6619 your never too old to learn those that don’t even try are just lazy and deserve everything they get from the scammers out there just because they don’t understand the language, and before you say anything I’m no spring chicken I’m 59 and learning Spanish for when I retire in Spain I don’t expect to be fluent but I will learn enough to get by and it’s respectful to the people and the country.
ขอบคุณนะคะ คลิปนี้ทำให้เห็นเลยว่าต้องใช้ภาษาอังกฤษบ่อยๆ ความจริงไม่ใช่เราไม่รู้ แต่แค่ไม่ชินจะเป็นคลิปที่เอาไว้เตือนตัวเองตอนฝึกภาษาอังกฤษบ่อยๆ ว่าต้องเอาไปใช้จริงๆนะ😍😆
glad to see that those who did not get thb500 still get thb100.. nice touch 👍
U got the best content
I am Thai and I think your pronouncation is very good
I think it'd be more fun and interesting for you to ask them to translate turn a Thai sentence into English. Because I want to see how each participant constructs their own sentence in their non-native language. It'd be much more challenging for them as well.
Good idea I hope he will make this for part 2
Algo is getting it bro, soon this wil go viral and you will be rich again
Hey Paddy are you going to travel around? I'd love to see you go to dialect areas and see how well you can interact with speakers of Southern Thai, Isaan, and Lanna. I hear there are also some minorities who speak related languages from neighbouring countries. Particularly Shan people from Myanmar and Tai Lu people who I think come from an area that crosses over several borders also have a presence in Thailand. And of course Lao people. In fact I'd love to see you tour around Laos as well as Thailand!
I guess it's a good idea for Paddy to test his Thai in those regions and in Laos at the same time. But my fear is that the regional Thais and Lao people might not understand much English in comparison to Thais in Bangkok or tourist towns. Likewise, I'm guessing Paddy might not have been exposed to those regional dialects and Lao language yet. It might end up with a lot of awkward silence.
Not talking down anyone anyway. Just making a statement 😅
@@siameseworld I always have fun no matter where I am in Thailand and I prefer non-touristy areas and I only speak tourist level Thai. Mai pen rai (-:
now we can try more specific sentences.😁
Really fun video! You say Thai people, but you're in Bangkok where English is somewhat common for work. Try this test in Korat 555
Brilliant ❤️
Understanding and talking is so different. For example, I understand a big part of an Arabic conversation but I barely form full sentences :)))
สนุกมาก
That was good mate
I'm surprised that the Nurse who uses English at work sometimes, ends up wasn't the best in English.
But still... I think they're great 🙂
AHHH off topic but the seventeen be the sun in bkk ad just rolling in the back at 3:30 caught me so off guard 😭
Good fun stuff.
I have been to many places in Asia, Thai people are the nicest to me. I would like to learn the language so that I can communicate and get to know the people and culture here better.
Kind of true. Thai’s younger generation is willing to help foreigners like us.
คือเราก็เป็นคนหนึ่งที่อ่านออก เขียนได้นิดหน่อย แต่พูดแทบไม่ได้เลยเพราะเราอ่อนไวยากรณ์อังกฤษและเราแทบไม่ได้สนใจภาษานี้ เราจะงงว่า past present future ใส่อะไรยังไงบ้าง ไหนจะต้องผันเวิร์คภาษาอังกฤษอีกให้ถูกต้องอีก แม้เราจะพยายามเรียนเท่าไหร่มันก็ยังไม่ค่อยเข้าใจอยู่ดี เหมือนย้ำอยู่กับที่ตลอด
ไม่เหมือนภาษาจีนที่ขึ้นชื่อว่าเป็นหนึ่งในภาษาที่ยากที่สุดแต่เราเข้าใจไวยากรณ์และสามารถอ่านออก เขียนได้ สื่อสารได้แม้จะไม่ชัดเท่าเจ้าของภาษาเพราะเราสนใจหลงใหลภาษาและวัฒนธรรมของประเทศนี้อยู่แลัว ภาษาจีนของเราเลยพัฒนาไปไกล ทั้งนี้มันขึ้นอยู่กับความชื่นชอบและสนใจในภาษาที่เราเรียน เรามีเพื่อนที่ชอบภาษาอังกฤษในสายตานางก็บอกอังกฤษง่ายจีนยาก ส่วนเราที่ชอบจีนก็บอกว่าจีนง่ายอังกฤษยาก
My boyfriend is Thai, learning English and I am English, learning Thai. Could you make a gameshow video (or series) that we can play together like in this video, taking turns and pausing the video before answers?
Where you come from
I wanna say from my own experience as a Thai myself. The problem w most people translating is that they often find it difficult to arrange the sentence together both in thai and English bc of how the structure are not the same, i taught that English their sentence is always gonna be opposite to that of Thai but still a great experiment Pad
Hi, do you speak Thai?
85% คนไทยฟังภาษาอังกฤษเข้าใจ แต่เรามีปัญหาในเรื่องการตอบกลับ แต่ฟังเข้าใจแน่นอน ปัจจุบันนี้ในโรงเรียนเด็กเล็กจะต้องเรียนภาษาอังกฤษและจีน ลูกสาวของผมพูด ไทย อังกฤษ จีนได้
ตกลงขอบคุณสำหรับคำตอบของคุณ
สนุกดี นายแพดดี้
Paddy, I'm currently teaching English in Thailand for the next six months, and I would absolutely LOVE to have the opportunity to meet you in Bangkok!
Message me on Insta. Might be able to tee something up!
U should try this challenge in CBD and see if the result would differ.
Im Thai and i think most Thais are able to communicate in english!
That girl with the mask was really good 😂❤️
Paddy that was really good - were they lek or yah?
FC จากประเทศไทยครับ
I need to play this game 😊
I from another country, but I understand at all… I don’t speak English, and this amazing
5:30 he was so cute! He really tried.
Very kool
Bottles may not be a common word in Thailand. I think you could have let that one go. It's similar to when some say soda and some say pop.
I’m always around Siam and did not meet you! Too bad😂
I always say the Thai people love to hear foreigners speak Thai, the Thais just like the Brits, they sometimes recognize different accents from different parts of their own countries, the Thais worry too much about making mistakes, even Americans make "trivial" errors, (I do it too), e.g., "easier" is a better choice than "more easy", definitely not both. It ain't instead of it isn't, what do you got instead of what have you got or gotten.
5555 :) Greetings from Switzerland! I learned how to laugh in Thai from a Thai friend. :)
"Hoh-pi-tan"... 555... that's what my relatives used to say wen trying to say "hospital"
The gals i been hanging around are pretty good at listening , But if i speak fast they have no chance. I luv thialand . Hopefully i live there soon
I think I understand English sentences but somehow it's very hard to translate them into Thai.
How did u learn thai? Any tips for new learners
ยากสุดก็คงสำเนียงนี่แหละครับ ฟังยากมาก แถมเวลาคุยจริงๆพูดไวมากกก 55555
ขอบคุณหลานแพดดี้ลงภาษาอังกฤษไว้ให้ด้วย ว่างๆป้าได้ฝึกภาษาไปด้วยเลย
the guy with 4.5 understood everything but couldn’t remember the word you said… so it‘s not really about his English
think you should have given him the 500 😂
great video though
มีคำถามว่า มีฝรั่งที่พูดไทยได้ถูกต้องมีเท่าไหร่ ?
ที่คนไทยไม่ได้พูดอังกฤษเก่งมาก
ควรทำความเข้าด้วยว่า ไม่ได้เป็นภาษาหลักที่ต้องใช้ในชีวิตประจำ เช่นเดียวกับฝรั่งที่ไม่เข้าใจภาษาไทยหรือพูดไทยได้เพราะไม่เป็นภาษาหลัก
สวัสดี Paddy 👍👍👍🇹🇭
the girl in the black shirt is so cute!
Hi Paddy! Are you back in Australia? Originally, you were only staying for one month. Have you decided to stay longer?
Hi Kevin! Bit of back and forth for a few reasons. Actually in Aus right now but will be in Thailand Oct/Nov/Dec. thanks for watching!
if might look easy when you have original sentence on the screen, but in real life you need to memorize the information as well.
English skill of these 4 compared with Thai people 10-20 years ago ....they are better, at least in listening.
I'm just here watching to learn some Thai lol
"The rain in Bangkok is very heavy."
"Yes."
I should be there. 😂 I’m Chinese, but I want to play this game.
Dude who said 6 glasses (kaiyao) instead of bottles should have gotten the pay out, he was so close!!
Sawadee krap from rama 9.
Man... I can win this 500 bath so easy, I'm 100% Thai
ผู้ชายผมทอง ผิดอยู่จุดนึง จริงๆ very nervous ไม่ใช่ประหม่า"นิดหน่อย" แต่คือ ค่อนข้างประหม่าเลย ไม่ได้ว่าครับ ผิดไม่เป็นไร เอาใหม่ให้ดีขึ้น
เขาเก่งจุงเบย
I really really feel for the guy who got 4/5 right. The last one he almost got it all right. Ohhhhhh I was rooting for him. It was juuuuust that 6 bottles of beer. Should have given him Baht 350 you know.
