FRUITING BODY to the top mate ;) The guy at the end is Speed, hes a comedian hes like 19 years old. He is legitimately a good guy and shows love to everyone, hes funny too but sometimes he goes a bit too far. I dont know if it was an accident or not when he crashed the tuk tuk. Cheers ryan!
If the police came round and arrested a ladyboy for that action against a male tourist. The ladyboy isn't dumb enough to not apologise when the police "ask" him to.
Damo is correct. This is not acceptable anywhere, even in Pattaya. There is no double standard for "the party scene" - that lame excuse for bad behavior has fallen out of favor over the years, in most countries, incl. Thailand. In the US, if you spank a woman, even a prostitute at a private party (without her prior consent, ofc), you should expect to be arrested & charged, as well as sued by the victim. Sexual assault is sexual assault, regardless of the victim's profession or location. Do guys still get away with it? Sure, but less often than before. No legal system is perfect. However, I think you will find that most people, Thai & farang, will feel no sympathy at all for this idiot.
yeah i dont think anyone was suggesting it was acceptable but moreso pointing out it shouldnt happen anywhere under the law, including to men concur with your other points
With the first guy, that's not acceptable anywhere, ever. The last guy seems like a streaming troll chasing 'clout', he seemed to be in a group to feel safe. He'd want to be careful doing that in Thailand, we all know that Thai people will stand up for each other.
I’m going to try to apologise as a polish man living in Japan for over 6 years living in Thailand 3 years over 30 years this is just disrespectful and I’m glad something was done but still being polish I would like to apologise, this would not be appropriate anywhere in the world let alone in Thailand, even in Pattaya. Your a man and your job is to respect women, no matter what there job is….. your not above anyone else…. Here in Japan the tourist issue is a big issue , a few idiots destroying the image for all of us that live here by the culture. I get told many times to acted more Japanese then the Japanese just to keep face.
This behavior is not acceptable in Pattaya. I have a bar and I knew a guy who used to do this. I told him to stop as soon as I saw it. It’s just wrong. This guy is a scumbag wherever he does it.
I heard Thailand has really harsh punishments. So do we know what's going to happen to the Polish guy? Is it just a warning? A few days in jail? Are they going to cut off his hand? Or death penalty? Sounds like he doesn't regret it, and most likely the punishment isn't severe enough so it will only increase the occurrences.
He should be arrested. That could have been someones wife and if the husband was around the corner and smacked him who would have been in trouble? Police should be harsh on these crimes, imo..
I worked on several projects with an International school in Thailand. There was a court dispute between the school and a judge. The judge “lost face” and took retribution against the school. The school was forced to vacate the school property and had to spend millions of dollars to relocate. Assimilating into the Thai culture with humility and respect is soooooooo important.
Sorry but wrong is wrong, no matter what position you are in. In fact if you use your position to do wrong, then how can anyone have any respect for you in the future? Assimilating into BS is something I will never do!
If you 'respect' someone because you are told to, it isn't respect. It's pointless. The judge is another Thai manchild. Look at the driver in Bangkok who ran over a delivery driver in a bike because he upset him. He's on a murder charge. Not respect.
I saw this video a few days ago. I was surprised. I feel like it’s just common sense to not touch someone else. Even less so on such body parts. And yes IShowSpeed is a huge streamer with millions of followers around the world. Currently he’s touring Latin American countries.
The guy is an embarrassment to the male gender. I hope he's seriously punished. He lacks basic judgement and self-control, making him a candidate for further criminal behavior. It's interesting to notice that (as far as I know) these types of disturbing behaviors are far more frequently seen in westerners versus those belonging to Southeast Asian cultures. It appears to me cultural norms in countries like Thailand provide very effective guardrails against abusive behavior and criminal activity, whereas such norms have faded away in some western countries. (I strongly suspect the breakdown in family stricture is the west is a part of the cause) . I know America has a very serious problem with problems like road rage, air rage, and other dangerous behaviors that literally did not exist 10-15 years ago. Something has changed in countries like the USA causing a breakdown in civil behavior, and it's disturbing to see this being exported.
Totally agree. Me and my Thai wife of 23 years visit Pattaya a lot now and last time we were there, she got inappropriately grabbed that I didn't see but she just informed him that her husband was seated nearby but she did feel violated but also understood that it could happen in Pattaya.
Why do you guys always say My THAI wife, as if having a THAI wife is a commodity? Then you guys wonder why Thai women always see foreign men as cash commodities
I think in Pattaya in 7 Eleven or other restaurant,shop this behaviour is also not exceptable,in barzone it happens, but even there can't it wait until you are in private room.the Guy had the chance tot apoligize, pay the price then.
I think that is the most interesting part of this. He clearly did something wrong & basically could have apologized and moved in with his life. Instead he went out of his way to try to justify it! 🤦♀️
Hi @thenakedguru just wanted to say that I think this is a good idea to mix up some of this news with other style of videos. Thanks and love the channel.
I agree with your too, respect is a sign of culture and should be given to all regardless their origin and work they do, bar girls and freelancers included, I guess this guy will learn a lesson or more at the BKK Hilton.
Loved the change of pace. I would hate to see this type of behavior even in a city like Pattaya. Thank you for covering this and giving your opinion on it.
If they don't like it all they have to do is leave,quietly they don't need to moan and be not nice just go else where and let people who want to watch it in peace.Also to the judges saying that you were cutting back just ignore them because they don't get it and they are not trying to understand how you feel. Take care Ryan You are a good person with a lovely family. 😊😊❤❤❤❤xxxx
I agree with you Ryan they think it's okay to do that in certain areas( I don't think it's okay in any area) but.not normal Thai woman that's very disrespectful and does give a Farang a very.bad name and the other incident is horrible yes it may happen in one area but how stupid are these guys they need to be fined and jailed for a few days or so and give a formal apology to this lady because I think mostly all Thai people should get great respect because they are very respectful people and again I don't think slapping someone like that is okay ! 16:24
@@thenakedguru I think any behaviour like this is disgusting and should be punished. It's maybe this type of behaviour and getting away with it encourages these types to commit even more serious crimes. My opinion is that this guy should be made to apologise to the girl, made to pay some compensation to the girl, given a small taste of a Thai prison and deported permanently. 10yrs prison would be ridiculous though. Double standards are happening. My Thai fiancee's best friend has been regularly abused emotionally and physically by her Thai boyfriend for some time and because of her personal circumstances, is having difficulty getting away from him. Police have done very little to help, warned him, but it continued. My fiancee says that police and the law in Thailand is weak most of the time.
I am a foreigner, it’s embarrassing for me to see this, this is not good for anyone. Thai people are modest and respectful in public. Make an example of him. 🇦🇺
I think in any country, slapping a stranger on their bottom is unacceptable, I cannot believe he thought that was okay. As for the Speed man....in people's faces, rude, no idea who he is.
been living in Bangkok now since June 1st and I avoid farangs as much as possible. that includes foreigners of the Asian type as well. if you know what I mean. I did not come to Thailand to hang out with people from UK, US, Australia or any other place I came to be in Thailand. I see numerous examples weekly of poor behavior by visitors. soon I'll head out to the provinces where a lot less of that stuff happens. while I don't agree that what he did was jailable or something you should go to prison for, he should have apologized and then be escorted out to the airport. since he refused to apologize this will not end well for him. but once in awhile someone needs to set an example. I love Thailand I love Bangkok and the Thai people are wonderful. to abuse their hospitality in such a way it's just idiotic. He's luckily she didn't call some taxi drivers over they would have shown him the error of his ways.
He should go to prison for this. Thai culture creates a hospitable environment because they also don’t play around with behavior like this. If they didn’t punish this severely then the people wouldn’t be as hospitable because they’d have to keep their own defenses up. We can’t have the best of all worlds anywhere, that’s not how culture works
you are so naive, much worse things happen between Thais. This guy deserves punishment but don’t tell me that Thais are so nice and correct. They are not just like anywhere else
I lived in Cambodia for 11 years and there were the (usually older) guyswho thought every woman was who they had met in the red light area. My issue with them is how can you expect that your experience one night in one area, means millions of people are the same. Also it made friends, workmates and partners ask you as an expat why the fuck this was going on. We got tarred with the same brush because of the odd idiot.
Inappropriate behavior yes. Isn't it inappropriate that Thailand and it's media has made this such an incident that a simple living farm girl, "Damo," knows about this incident living in a small village? I find it extremely ridiculous that this "incident" is reported on the main tv news and ran rampant all over the country. Is that really justified and would that be the case in just about any other country in the world? What if it was a "Chinese" or other Asian foreigner that performed the said act? Would it still be reported on the mainstream news at prime time hours? Ridiculous. I find the guy not apologizing just plain stupid on his part, but that this behavior justifies 10 years in prison is absolutely horrendous and unjustifiable. 10 years of a person's life? 10 years. Thoroughly unjustified. Now let's take it a step further. You're in Thailand, imagine yourself late at night walking to a 7-Eleven for whatever minding your own business, you come across the "wrong" Thai individuals, maybe these individuals for whatever reason(s) don't like foreigners. They make up some horrible "incident" in the form of lies, there's no cctv camera around, it's your word versus theirs in THAILAND. Before you know it, you may just find yourself locked up as well. Kind of scary to think about.
Chinese, Asian, Thais , Farang or whoever will be on Thai news if they assault someone and camera can catch them. Actually now Thai media’s are so lazy, they just use the clip from Facebook or any social media, so normally people just post story, if they get many attention, the TV media just use that video clip.
This can be seen as far simpler than the “rabbit hole” in complexity of “losing face” can bring about. There is a simple principal from childhood that in reality apples which is “keep your hands to yourself”, “remember you’re in a foreign culture” and “there is no excuse for bringing ones bad behavior to another country”. What might also make a difference in perspective is the reality that some people show up in Thailand and after seeing a doctor for access to certain protocols then behave is some shocking ways…. How to deal with this is an entirely different scope of issues, again! Especially after consuming alcohol in the context of these protocols.
The thing that annoyed me most about that guy was the arrogance around even acknowledging that he's done the wrong thing. Acknowledgement and a sincere apology would likely have ended the matter though now he's going to find out the hard way.
Let’s be honest. He knew it was wrong. Of course he did. He wouldn’t behave like that at home. If he did that in his home country he would have been charged with sexual assault and he knows it. A simple rule to follow is don’t do anything that you wouldn’t do in in your home country. …
spit a bit of coffee out on keyboard.... in Pats the girls will grab guys. I can't recall any guy ever crying 'assault' and embarrassment. but seriously, the guy was in the wrong and is perhaps lucky the lady didn't know muray thai boxing... however calling that assault seems a bit too much.
I wonder if he would repeat such a thing in his home country? Probably not! I wish visitors to Thailand would realize that they are GUESTS in the Kingdom.
As a Thai woman, At first time I see this news. I accept that I’m very angry. This idiot think that all Thai woman are easy, and he is not the first tourist who sexual harrassment like this to Thai woman.
He appears to be walking very fast and just did a stupid thing in the pulse of the moment without thinking about the consequences for himself or stress he was causing to the victim bet he won’t do that again
I wish the authority in the uk took the same approach to way foreigners treat ladeys here. I love how they name and shame the criminals in Thailand uk should take that on board to, instead of protecting them
This maybe because of my age i am 71 , totally unacceptable why would you do that to a complete stranger someone that you don't know to me it's totally wrong I feel sad for the young lady who must have been very embarrassed . I just cannot get my head around why he did it and would think its ok to do it , would he do that i wonder in poland ? I think not i would think he get his face slapped and probably worse . I imagine he will be kicked out of Thailand and will not be allowed back in again maybe will Thailand make an example of him maybe ? We will have to wait and see . 😮
I agree with your wife, I've been to Pattaya a number of times and would never think of touching a girl without her consent, I might flirt but never touch. Too bad a few bad guys give foreigners a bad name.
wouldnt be the first foreigner to feign not knowing. can people really not help themselves? its not like he's fresh off the bus from Pattaya and this is his first experience of bangkok, also he refused to apologise from what i read which is now why shes taking it further. to me its just idiocy
I wish people would have respect when they travel abroad. That behaviour was unacceptable. I saw it in a different way when we lived in France, Brits speaking to French like dirt, expecting them to speak English and moaning about shop opening hours. Hope you’re feeling better, very interested in your vlogs as we are planning a visit.
Glad they caught him!! This is not acceptable in any country in any circumstances,in any excuse! Sexual exploitation is to be stopped and men need to learn that the hard way wherever they are !
Bum slapping a stranger is unacceptable anywhere. That latter bit about they Speed guy is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with social media. Critical thinking should be an essential part of any school curriculum these days.
The guy that got arrested doesn't look like the guy in the supermarket. I think this story is fabricated. The guy in the hotel is unrelated to the supermarket incident.
The guy slapping the girl: short brown hair. The guy surrounded by police: long blond hair. Unless he grew his hair and died it, I don't know what to tell ya.
Hey mate great vlog. I personally am sick of seeing us "farang" in the news for bad reasons in thailand. Such a beautiful place. I think the problem is all these different countrys with there different "western" lifestyles, bringing such attitudes into thailand and ruining it in that way...I also think these new visas and the whole 60 day thing has alot to do with it. It actually saddens me to see that the thai people have to put up with this, and it saddens me that this will make all "farang" look/stand out even more..and maybe become unliked or unwelcome in such a beautiful place. My GF is thai and we talk about this all the time also.
Wow, amazing the audacity some people have. What a disrespectful human. I hate that these extreme cases involving particularly terrible people can soil the reputation of all visitors to Thailand 😢. I hope that woman gets some peace and that guy goes to a nice jail cell for a bit to ruminate over his actions.
the guy doing the Speed Clips... he is following the same behaviour as RUclipsr Johnny Somali (who had been arrested & jailed in Korea). Jonny had Appalling behaviour but it got him plenty of hits. So now its catching on and this guy "Speed Clips" is doing the same. Its just a matter of time & they will catch him --------------------------------- This is a story about the terrible individual Jonny Somali. ruclips.net/video/XjhpcyBdt88/видео.htmlsi=1hU0uuiYqILxt3Ig
I've seen bar girls in tourist areas of Thailand get angry when things like this happens. If the guy and the girl don't know each other, the guy is in the wrong even in entertainment areas. Doesn't matter if she is working in a bar. I don't beleive the farang in the video doesn't know right from wrong.
It's what has happened. There are simply too many foreigners here now including from other parts of Asia. At best they are eroding the local culture. At worst they are behaving badly like the idiots in this video.
IShowSpeed is the guy...the NZ government said they were chasing after him as he "worked illegally on a tourist Visa in New Zealand" when he was here few months ago
Yeah he can ask for a lawyer, and he can pay for one AFTER the police interview him and charge him, this is Thailand. The lawyer will plead his case in court......when the police finish with him.FAFO.
Thailand works so hard on bringing tourists to their country. There's always going to be a few idiots, part of humanity. But I agree with you on where you are in Thailand makes a difference.
😂, I'm starting with the smiley face because it seems surreal to me. I totally understand and I have mixed feelings about this subject. First up this is definitely the wrong actions in the wrong place. Too many reasons for this type of incident. Wouldn't matter where you are in the world. Now the other side of the coin is challenging. Yes there is similar behaviour in areas at certain times and places. Now being in Australia, we have had a reputation for being easy going, and we used to treat most people the same, as one class. Whereas England has two specific cultures....one as working class and the other as upper class. Now Thailand is different, and strange also. They have a culture that is segmented, being that they will refer to "boom boom" in everyday conversation as normal, now this happens in the country and the city, with all classes of people, and age doesn't matter. Now seeing this and hearing it personally it is a natural assumption that everyone is on the same page. But this is not the case. As a culture they know what is happening in their country and they turn a "blind eye"....but they are racist enough that if some foreigner does something that gets complained about they immediately jump around and abuse the lot. Well I find this the most hippocratic, racist nonsense. Thailand is known as the number one country in the world for its promiscuity and party type atmosphere. The old saying "don't throw rocks if you live in a glass house" comes to mind. Now I have a close friend who is married to a ex bar girl and we treat her as one of us. I'm happy for them both and we get together regularly as a group. Maybe it's just Australians make up, (I don't think so) but the facts are out in world and I find the Thai's very hippocratical. Doesn't matter if you are the 'Preachers daughter' or the 'Farmers daughter' but the whole country I think is ashamed of how they act, and it makes them angry. In the Australia we hate the government, authorities, politicians. It's part of life. We all have to live with it. I'm lucky cause I'm old and just don't care either way. One night I remember going through "walking street" and a lot of girls (5) came up to me and a friend, they stole his gold necklace and none of the Thai's cared. Part of life. We are all the same. I was in Cambodia with a Spanish guy and our guide and a lady of the night plus another few people the guide brought along about 9 of us all sitting in a restaurant eating, being friends. The Spanish guy didn't like it because I was paying. Anyway a drunken man (Cambodian) came up and started harassing the lady. None of the men would say anything, but as soon as he grabbed her hair I told him to back off and go. Obviously in his state he wouldn't listen so obviously I put him down on the restaurant floor, some others dragged him away. Now nothing happened to me, but it ruined the night. So it doesn't matter where you are it's part of life, you have to do what is responsible to yourself. My sons (3) have this from me and I hope they will be good in life. Respect and responsibility are about all we have. So as to Thailand, it's part of life, we all need our own. I'm happy about people in general and most people are live and let live. They won't treat you and your family bad because they know you and your family, regardless of what they say about foreigners. I'm watching your videos and can see your love for family, friends, and the community. No problemo Ryan you are one of the good guys. 🤭. 👍❤️😇
This is what happens when bad behavior is normalised just look what's happening in the west. what has happened to being happy with being polite and open doors for young ladies. Have respect for everyone treat wemen you do not know as your mother or daughter.
Pattaya is a big area. Yes, in the bar areas (in Bangkok and Pattaya) it may be common for bar girls/ladyboys to grab at tourists, but it is absolutely not normal behavior outside of the bars/walking streets etc. It's not common behavior in Pattaya to spank anyone in 7-11. 😉
You're so right there Ryan. It's the losing face that's the big thing in this story. Once you make a Thai person feel like that, then take cover! So stupid to do that. Anywhere, of course. But more so here. You definitely do not want to end up in a Thai prison. Not for 1 day!
what if she was your sister or wife? 10 Years is a lot but if he gets the full 10, it will deter most visitors coming to Thailand and disrespecting Thai people.
IMHO...100% UNACCEPTABLE to even touch a stranger, especially in public within Thai culture. Any country for that matter. The dude should know better...Apparently, this guy is going to have to learn the hard way. The ideology of being a "guest in the Kingdom" and all that may entail. Kindness, respect for host country...etc seems to be lost on the newer waves of foreign visitors coming into Thailand. I also noticed one thing...why are most of these negative actions coming from travellers...paticularly from Europe while in Thailand? Seems to be the case, 95% of the time...
I suppose it was sexually motivated but I would regard it as physical assault rather than sexual assault. The other point regards gender. If a man had been slapped, would they treat that as a crime?
Well lets start by saying, no its not acceptable to behave like that. He wouldn't get away with it in his own country so excuse to behave like that in Thailand. Secondly, as you mentioned, depending on where you are in Thailand, ie, any red light district or even bars where working girls may exist,then that sort of behaviour is perhaps expected and reciprocal from all parties. So yes its fair too say the environment your in has a big part to play and that goes for Farang and thai alike. I have been there done that as im sure you have your self Ryan, so in his case maybe wrong place wrong time but still not condoning his actions. The Thai authorities brought up the issue of age, someone over 15yrs of age. Again I have witnessed the issue of under age prostitution in areas like Bangkok and Pattaya to mention only two but as you and I know is wide spread all throughout Thailand. Don't get me wrong here, but if Thailand wants to be a country that wants tourists to be respectful while visiting the country and not behave in a lewd fashion, then perhaps Thailand needs to clean its act up and not portray an image of cheap sex and promiscuity. Just saying. Thanks for sharing Ryan
My thinking is behave like a gentleman no matter where you are. If its unacceptable behavior in your home country dont come to Thailand and think its acceptable there. If your in Pattaya same rule applies. If a girl or Lady boy reaches out and grabs you in the bar areas then you have right of reply to it to tell them to back off or just take it as a bit of fun. I would never go grabbing anyone anywhere. This guy is either a molester or he had a huge brain meltdown either way its unlawful and should be prosecuted. The girl in the camera footage was dressed normally in a convince store looking to buy products she wasn't dressed provocatively she was minding her own business and yes it would have been embarrassing for her and she lost face. These dudes need to read up on Thai customs and social rules before going to Thailand read it at their own peril. On a different subject how is the dable in Crypto going, are you up on what you invested?

If he did that same act in Australia; that is Assault end of story
At the very least, depending on the persons record of interview (as reported he thinks it's ok) he could be charged with sexual assault.

I’m going to try to apologise as a polish man living in Japan for over 6 years living in Thailand 3 years over 30 years this is just disrespectful and I’m glad something was done but still being polish I would like to apologise, this would not be appropriate anywhere in the world let alone in Thailand, even in Pattaya. Your a man and your job is to respect women, no matter what there job is….. your not above anyone else….

I get told many times to acted more Japanese then the Japanese just to keep face.
You sound like a pathetic schmuck. 😮
Not even in a 7-11 in Pattaya 😂
Exactly, this is wouldn't fly well in most places in Pattaya.
This behavior is not acceptable in Pattaya. I have a bar and I knew a guy who used to do this. I told him to stop as soon as I saw it. It’s just wrong.
This guy is a scumbag wherever he does it.
yeah i meant from women to men but you have the bar though so you know
I heard Thailand has really harsh punishments. So do we know what's going to happen to the Polish guy? Is it just a warning? A few days in jail? Are they going to cut off his hand? Or death penalty?

He should be arrested. That could have been someones wife and if the husband was around the corner and smacked him who would have been in trouble? Police should be harsh on these crimes, imo..
the foreigner would have been in trouble of course, remember the Thai's are all one when it comes to supporting wrongdoing by one of their own.
I worked on several projects with an International school in Thailand. There was a court dispute between the school and a judge. The judge “lost face” and took retribution against the school. The school was forced to vacate the school property and had to spend millions of dollars to relocate. Assimilating into the Thai culture with humility and respect is soooooooo important.
Sorry but wrong is wrong, no matter what position you are in. In fact if you use your position to do wrong, then how can anyone have any respect for you in the future? Assimilating into BS is something I will never do!
assimilation into bowing down to corrupt egos, basically what it comes down to
@@iono54321 Yeah and it's a massive NO from me .
If you 'respect' someone because you are told to, it isn't respect. It's pointless. The judge is another Thai manchild. Look at the driver in Bangkok who ran over a delivery driver in a bike because he upset him. He's on a murder charge. Not respect.
LOL.
Don’t fool yourself.
It works the exact same way in the USA. You can be right AND still be wrong in a court of law.
By the way, totally unacceptable behavior on the part of the guy

common sense i think is the main issue and it causes so many problems here
The guy is an embarrassment to the male gender. I hope he's seriously punished. He lacks basic judgement and self-control, making him a candidate for further criminal behavior. It's interesting to notice that (as far as I know) these types of disturbing behaviors are far more frequently seen in westerners versus those belonging to Southeast Asian cultures. It appears to me cultural norms in countries like Thailand provide very effective guardrails against abusive behavior and criminal activity, whereas such norms have faded away in some western countries. (I strongly suspect the breakdown in family stricture is the west is a part of the cause) . I know America has a very serious problem with problems like road rage, air rage, and other dangerous behaviors that literally did not exist 10-15 years ago. Something has changed in countries like the USA causing a breakdown in civil behavior, and it's disturbing to see this being exported.
i think he is facing 10 years forgot to mention
@@thenakedguru Excellent. Maybe that's enough time for him to figure out how he was able to become so stupid, then maybe write a book to help others.
Even in a strip club in the US there are rules about touching.
@@thenakedguru good, people like him are making life worse for everyone
Totally agree. Me and my Thai wife of 23 years visit Pattaya a lot now and last time we were there, she got inappropriately grabbed that I didn't see but she just informed him that her husband was seated nearby but she did feel violated but also understood that it could happen in Pattaya.
Why do you guys always say My THAI wife, as if having a THAI wife is a commodity? Then you guys wonder why Thai women always see foreign men as cash commodities
I think in Pattaya in 7 Eleven or other restaurant,shop this behaviour is also not exceptable,in barzone it happens, but even there can't it wait until you are in private room.the Guy had the chance tot apoligize, pay the price then.
agree
I think that is the most interesting part of this. He clearly did something wrong & basically could have apologized and moved in with his life. Instead he went out of his way to try to justify it! 🤦♀️
@@jenniferwithey6443 Exactly, when you're given a get out, take it humbly and apologetically!
Hi @thenakedguru just wanted to say that I think this is a good idea to mix up some of this news with other style of videos. Thanks and love the channel.
I agree with your too, respect is a sign of culture and should be given to all regardless their origin and work they do, bar girls and freelancers included, I guess this guy will learn a lesson or more at the BKK Hilton.
Loved the change of pace. I would hate to see this type of behavior even in a city like Pattaya. Thank you for covering this and giving your opinion on it.
I enjoyed this new presentation style. Good idea. I hope you keep it up.
If they don't like it all they have to do is leave,quietly they don't need to moan and be not nice just go else where and let people who want to watch it in peace.Also to the judges saying that you were cutting back just ignore them because they don't get it and they are not trying to understand how you feel. Take care Ryan You are a good person with a lovely family. 😊😊❤❤❤❤xxxx
I agree with you Ryan they think it's okay to do that in certain areas( I don't think it's okay in any area) but.not normal Thai woman that's very disrespectful and does give a Farang a very.bad name and the other incident is horrible yes it may happen in one area but how stupid are these guys they need to be fined and jailed for a few days or so and give a formal apology to this lady because I think mostly all Thai people should get great respect because they are very respectful people and again I don't think slapping someone like that is okay ! 16:24
i think he is facing 10 years for this
@@thenakedguru I think any behaviour like this is disgusting and should be punished. It's maybe this type of behaviour and getting away with it encourages these types to commit even more serious crimes. My opinion is that this guy should be made to apologise to the girl, made to pay some compensation to the girl, given a small taste of a Thai prison and deported permanently. 10yrs prison would be ridiculous though. Double standards are happening. My Thai fiancee's best friend has been regularly abused emotionally and physically by her Thai boyfriend for some time and because of her personal circumstances, is having difficulty getting away from him. Police have done very little to help, warned him, but it continued. My fiancee says that police and the law in Thailand is weak most of the time.
A big thank you Bum slapper from all us normal respectful people. You make us all look so good 👍
I am a foreigner, it’s embarrassing for me to see this, this is not good for anyone. Thai people are modest and respectful in public. Make an example of him. 🇦🇺
I think in any country, slapping a stranger on their bottom is unacceptable, I cannot believe he thought that was okay. As for the Speed man....in people's faces, rude, no idea who he is.
been living in Bangkok now since June 1st and I avoid farangs as much as possible. that includes foreigners of the Asian type as well. if you know what I mean. I did not come to Thailand to hang out with people from UK, US, Australia or any other place I came to be in Thailand. I see numerous examples weekly of poor behavior by visitors. soon I'll head out to the provinces where a lot less of that stuff happens. while I don't agree that what he did was jailable or something you should go to prison for, he should have apologized and then be escorted out to the airport. since he refused to apologize this will not end well for him. but once in awhile someone needs to set an example. I love Thailand I love Bangkok and the Thai people are wonderful. to abuse their hospitality in such a way it's just idiotic. He's luckily she didn't call some taxi drivers over they would have shown him the error of his ways.
i think he is getting 10 years
He should go to prison for this. Thai culture creates a hospitable environment because they also don’t play around with behavior like this. If they didn’t punish this severely then the people wouldn’t be as hospitable because they’d have to keep their own defenses up. We can’t have the best of all worlds anywhere, that’s not how culture works
@@thenakedguru Good
@@thenakedguruI think that's excessive. why would Thailand want to pay to feed this guy over the next 10 years ? although it does send a message...
you are so naive, much worse things happen between Thais. This guy deserves punishment but don’t tell me that Thais are so nice and correct. They are not just like anywhere else
I lived in Cambodia for 11 years and there were the (usually older) guyswho thought every woman was who they had met in the red light area. My issue with them is how can you expect that your experience one night in one area, means millions of people are the same. Also it made friends, workmates and partners ask you as an expat why the fuck this was going on. We got tarred with the same brush because of the odd idiot.
Inappropriate behavior yes.
Isn't it inappropriate that Thailand and it's media has made this such an incident that a simple living farm girl, "Damo," knows about this incident living in a small village? I find it extremely ridiculous that this "incident" is reported on the main tv news and ran rampant all over the country. Is that really justified and would that be the case in just about any other country in the world? What if it was a "Chinese" or other Asian foreigner that performed the said act? Would it still be reported on the mainstream news at prime time hours? Ridiculous.
I find the guy not apologizing just plain stupid on his part, but that this behavior justifies 10 years in prison is absolutely horrendous and unjustifiable. 10 years of a person's life? 10 years. Thoroughly unjustified.
Now let's take it a step further. You're in Thailand, imagine yourself late at night walking to a 7-Eleven for whatever minding your own business, you come across the "wrong" Thai individuals, maybe these individuals for whatever reason(s) don't like foreigners. They make up some horrible "incident" in the form of lies, there's no cctv camera around, it's your word versus theirs in THAILAND. Before you know it, you may just find yourself locked up as well. Kind of scary to think about.
Chinese, Asian, Thais , Farang or whoever will be on Thai news if they assault someone and camera can catch them. Actually now Thai media’s are so lazy, they just use the clip from Facebook or any social media, so normally people just post story, if they get many attention, the TV media just use that video clip.
Speed is someone no one should know.
This can be seen as far simpler than the “rabbit hole” in complexity of “losing face” can bring about. There is a simple principal from childhood that in reality apples which is “keep your hands to yourself”, “remember you’re in a foreign culture” and “there is no excuse for bringing ones bad behavior to another country”. What might also make a difference in perspective is the reality that some people show up in Thailand and after seeing a doctor for access to certain protocols then behave is some shocking ways…. How to deal with this is an entirely different scope of issues, again! Especially after consuming alcohol in the context of these protocols.
Great vid as per usual guys 🙏
Is this the speed with 13.3 Mil subscribers?
Super confusing...
🤢
The thing that annoyed me most about that guy was the arrogance around even acknowledging that he's done the wrong thing. Acknowledgement and a sincere apology would likely have ended the matter though now he's going to find out the hard way.
... the Iron Curtain was soooo nice !!!
Let’s be honest. He knew it was wrong. Of course he did. He wouldn’t behave like that at home. If he did that in his home country he would have been charged with sexual assault and he knows it. A simple rule to follow is don’t do anything that you wouldn’t do in in your home country. …
spit a bit of coffee out on keyboard.... in Pats the girls will grab guys. I can't recall any guy ever crying 'assault' and embarrassment.
but seriously, the guy was in the wrong and is perhaps lucky the lady didn't know muray thai boxing... however calling that assault seems a bit too much.
It's about context, she is just going about her normal day, she is not in a bar etc.
I wonder if he would repeat such a thing in his home country? Probably not! I wish visitors to Thailand would realize that they are GUESTS in the Kingdom.
From his refusal to apologize, I suspect he may be the sort of guy who does things like this wherever he is.
Why do people assume that tourists who behave badly are somehow the best citizens back home?
Unfortunately you wouldn’t go around doing this to anyone you don’t know, any normal human…
As a Thai woman, At first time I see this news. I accept that I’m very angry. This idiot think that all Thai woman are easy, and he is not the first tourist who sexual harrassment like this to Thai woman.
He appears to be walking very fast and just did a stupid thing in the pulse of the moment without thinking about the consequences for himself or stress he was causing to the victim bet he won’t do that again
I wish the authority in the uk took the same approach to way foreigners treat ladeys here. I love how they name and shame the criminals in Thailand uk should take that on board to, instead of protecting them
That was interesting & good you show & discuss this for guys going to Thailand/Asia in general? He aught to be ashamed of himself. 💞
This maybe because of my age i am 71 , totally unacceptable why would you do that to a complete stranger someone that you don't know to me it's totally wrong I feel sad for the young lady who must have been very embarrassed . I just cannot get my head around why he did it and would think its ok to do it , would he do that i wonder in poland ? I think not i would think he get his face slapped and probably worse . I imagine he will be kicked out of Thailand and will not be allowed back in again maybe will Thailand make an example of him maybe ? We will have to wait and see .
😮
10 years i think Michael
I agree with your wife, I've been to Pattaya a number of times and would never think of touching a girl without her consent, I might flirt but never touch. Too bad a few bad guys give foreigners a bad name.
Pinned comment 👍
wouldnt be the first foreigner to feign not knowing. can people really not help themselves? its not like he's fresh off the bus from Pattaya and this is his first experience of bangkok, also he refused to apologise from what i read which is now why shes taking it further. to me its just idiocy
i think people will think twice after seeing this story my friend
It's not okay accepted or not in any area. Between two people who know each other is different.
He's now on an extended holiday just his new hotel will be very dirty crap food and the door locked most the time.
She should be able to recieve $10,000 and he gets a get out of jail card.
I wish people would have respect when they travel abroad. That behaviour was unacceptable. I saw it in a different way when we lived in France, Brits speaking to French like dirt, expecting them to speak English and moaning about shop opening hours. Hope you’re feeling better, very interested in your vlogs as we are planning a visit.
How is Alphy?
Glad they caught him!! This is not acceptable in any country in any circumstances,in any excuse! Sexual exploitation is to be stopped and men need to learn that the hard way wherever they are !
Agree 🙏
That’s assault in any country , keep your hands to yourself.
Bum slapping a stranger is unacceptable anywhere. That latter bit about they Speed guy is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with social media. Critical thinking should be an essential part of any school curriculum these days.
The guy that got arrested doesn't look like the guy in the supermarket. I think this story is fabricated. The guy in the hotel is unrelated to the supermarket incident.
The guy slapping the girl: short brown hair.
The guy surrounded by police: long blond hair.
Unless he grew his hair and died it, I don't know what to tell ya.
Being Polish is it's own defence
Hey mate great vlog. I personally am sick of seeing us "farang" in the news for bad reasons in thailand. Such a beautiful place. I think the problem is all these different countrys with there different "western" lifestyles, bringing such attitudes into thailand and ruining it in that way...I also think these new visas and the whole 60 day thing has alot to do with it. It actually saddens me to see that the thai people have to put up with this, and it saddens me that this will make all "farang" look/stand out even more..and maybe become unliked or unwelcome in such a beautiful place. My GF is thai and we talk about this all the time also.
Awesome Ryan
I live in Jomtien not acceptable at all, even in Pattaya, he seems to be a self entitled lout. He deserves a big wake up call.
Definitely not acceptable
Normalized towards men in some areas - I think they will likely pass sentence of 10 years
Oh, okay. I understand now.
Wow, amazing the audacity some people have. What a disrespectful human. I hate that these extreme cases involving particularly terrible people can soil the reputation of all visitors to Thailand 😢. I hope that woman gets some peace and that guy goes to a nice jail cell for a bit to ruminate over his actions.
Hey Chris, yes he faces 10 years now and 200k fine, people like this give us a bad name ey - hope you are well btw!
Very inappropriate behaviour. What was he thinking?
the guy doing the Speed Clips... he is following the same behaviour as RUclipsr Johnny Somali (who had been arrested & jailed in Korea).
Jonny had Appalling behaviour but it got him plenty of hits.
So now its catching on and this guy "Speed Clips" is doing the same.
Its just a matter of time & they will catch him
---------------------------------
This is a story about the terrible individual Jonny Somali.

This guy feels entitled to assaulting women. He needs consequences
I've seen bar girls in tourist areas of Thailand get angry when things like this happens. If the guy and the girl don't know each other, the guy is in the wrong even in entertainment areas. Doesn't matter if she is working in a bar. I don't beleive the farang in the video doesn't know right from wrong.
Its remind me of the movie (The Beach) where invasion took place gradually and spoiled the whole atmosphere
It's what has happened. There are simply too many foreigners here now including from other parts of Asia. At best they are eroding the local culture. At worst they are behaving badly like the idiots in this video.
It’s a 7-eleven not walking street. The guy should have been arrested and made an example of. IMHO
bingo
I liked this format
appreciate the feedback as I think many will not :)
That kind of behaviour is never normal. Drunk, sober, in pattaya or somewhere else.

IShowSpeed is the guy...the NZ government said they were chasing after him as he "worked illegally on a tourist Visa in New Zealand" when he was here few months ago
Yeah he can ask for a lawyer, and he can pay for one AFTER the police interview him and charge him, this is Thailand. The lawyer will plead his case in court......when the police finish with him.FAFO.
To me that is totally unacceptable. He’s lucky she didn’t have a husband or boyfriend near by
I've been to pattaya quite a few times.
It's not acceptable to do that.
Maybe in soi six but not in a shopping centre or seven eleven.
Yes I specified party areas and it has been normalized to grope men. Certainly not acceptable
Thailand works so hard on bringing tourists to their country. There's always going to be a few idiots, part of humanity. But I agree with you on where you are in Thailand makes a difference.
What a scumbag! An iceberg usually only shows you a little bit of ice…what does he do when not caught on cctv
This Speed dude is just want we dont need to come to Thailand
I want to hear you speak Thai when making videos. 😊
😂, I'm starting with the smiley face because it seems surreal to me. I totally understand and I have mixed feelings about this subject.
First up this is definitely the wrong actions in the wrong place. Too many reasons for this type of incident. Wouldn't matter where you are in the world.
Now the other side of the coin is challenging. Yes there is similar behaviour in areas at certain times and places.
Now being in Australia, we have had a reputation for being easy going, and we used to treat most people the same, as one class. Whereas England has two specific cultures....one as working class and the other as upper class.
Now Thailand is different, and strange also. They have a culture that is segmented, being that they will refer to "boom boom" in everyday conversation as normal, now this happens in the country and the city, with all classes of people, and age doesn't matter. Now seeing this and hearing it personally it is a natural assumption that everyone is on the same page. But this is not the case. As a culture they know what is happening in their country and they turn a "blind eye"....but they are racist enough that if some foreigner does something that gets complained about they immediately jump around and abuse the lot. Well I find this the most hippocratic, racist nonsense.
Thailand is known as the number one country in the world for its promiscuity and party type atmosphere. The old saying "don't throw rocks if you live in a glass house" comes to mind. Now I have a close friend who is married to a ex bar girl and we treat her as one of us. I'm happy for them both and we get together regularly as a group. Maybe it's just Australians make up, (I don't think so) but the facts are out in world and I find the Thai's very hippocratical. Doesn't matter if you are the 'Preachers daughter' or the 'Farmers daughter' but the whole country I think is ashamed of how they act, and it makes them angry. In the Australia we hate the government, authorities, politicians.
It's part of life. We all have to live with it. I'm lucky cause I'm old and just don't care either way. One night I remember going through "walking street" and a lot of girls (5) came up to me and a friend, they stole his gold necklace and none of the Thai's cared. Part of life. We are all the same. I was in Cambodia with a Spanish guy and our guide and a lady of the night plus another few people the guide brought along about 9 of us all sitting in a restaurant eating, being friends. The Spanish guy didn't like it because I was paying. Anyway a drunken man (Cambodian) came up and started harassing the lady. None of the men would say anything, but as soon as he grabbed her hair I told him to back off and go. Obviously in his state he wouldn't listen so obviously I put him down on the restaurant floor, some others dragged him away. Now nothing happened to me, but it ruined the night. So it doesn't matter where you are it's part of life, you have to do what is responsible to yourself. My sons (3) have this from me and I hope they will be good in life. Respect and responsibility are about all we have. So as to Thailand, it's part of life, we all need our own. I'm happy about people in general and most people are live and let live. They won't treat you and your family bad because they know you and your family, regardless of what they say about foreigners.
I'm watching your videos and can see your love for family, friends, and the community.
No problemo Ryan you are one of the good guys. 🤭.
👍❤️😇
You punk ! Based on the title of the video, I thought you were in trouble 😱🤣👍🏽
if you did that was not my intention! but welcome to the video Mike
@ I’m pulling your leg. Old man jokes don’t hit too well. 🤣
Behavior like that should never be excepted no matter where it was.
Agree
Careful talking online about Thaii tax, they are clamping down on foreigners giving tax advise.
Wrong to do in most countries. Also wrong to lump all foreigners together as there are many cultural norms out there.
He is most likely now in IDC Bangkok….
This is what happens when bad behavior is normalised just look what's happening in the west. what has happened to being happy with being polite and open doors for young ladies. Have respect for everyone treat wemen you do not know as your mother or daughter.
bingo
The most stupid thing he did was failing to not apologize. It would be more understandable if he was drunk but not good behavior none the less
Pattaya is a big area. Yes, in the bar areas (in Bangkok and Pattaya) it may be common for bar girls/ladyboys to grab at tourists, but it is absolutely not normal behavior outside of the bars/walking streets etc. It's not common behavior in Pattaya to spank anyone in 7-11. 😉
Yup that’s why I said party areas 👍👍
You're so right there Ryan. It's the losing face that's the big thing in this story. Once you make a Thai person feel like that, then take cover! So stupid to do that. Anywhere, of course. But more so here. You definitely do not want to end up in a Thai prison. Not for 1 day!
what if she was your sister or wife? 10 Years is a lot but if he gets the full 10, it will deter most visitors coming to Thailand and disrespecting Thai people.
Pinned comment
thats wild. how would you think that is cool?
Watching you watch clips is weird because the police
interview volume is too low , a small gripe I know, otherwise, great work.
IMHO...100% UNACCEPTABLE to even touch a stranger, especially in public within Thai culture. Any country for that matter. The dude should know better...Apparently, this guy is going to have to learn the hard way. The ideology of being a "guest in the Kingdom" and all that may entail. Kindness, respect for host country...etc seems to be lost on the newer waves of foreign visitors coming into Thailand. I also noticed one thing...why are most of these negative actions coming from travellers...paticularly from Europe while in Thailand? Seems to be the case, 95% of the time...
I suppose it was sexually motivated but I would regard it as physical assault rather than sexual assault. The other point regards gender. If a man had been slapped, would they treat that as a crime?
I believed the girl is only 15 yrs old
This is typical the world over. No one has respect for the other person.
There's a problem, for me at least, you appear as a small segment in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Well lets start by saying, no its not acceptable to behave like that. He wouldn't get away with it in his own country so excuse to behave like that in Thailand.
Secondly, as you mentioned, depending on where you are in Thailand, ie, any red light district or even bars where working girls may exist,then that sort of behaviour is perhaps expected and reciprocal from all parties.
So yes its fair too say the environment your in has a big part to play and that goes for Farang and thai alike.
I have been there done that as im sure you have your self Ryan, so in his case maybe wrong place wrong time but still not condoning his actions.
The Thai authorities brought up the issue of age, someone over 15yrs of age. Again I have witnessed the issue of under age prostitution in areas like Bangkok and Pattaya to mention only two but as you and I know is wide spread all throughout Thailand.
Don't get me wrong here, but if Thailand wants to be a country that wants tourists to be respectful while visiting the country and not behave in a lewd fashion, then perhaps Thailand needs to clean its act up and not portray an image of cheap sex and promiscuity.
Just saying.
Thanks for sharing Ryan
My thinking is behave like a gentleman no matter where you are. If its unacceptable behavior in your home country dont come to Thailand and think its acceptable there. If your in Pattaya same rule applies. If a girl or Lady boy reaches out and grabs you in the bar areas then you have right of reply to it to tell them to back off or just take it as a bit of fun. I would never go grabbing anyone anywhere. This guy is either a molester or he had a huge brain meltdown either way its unlawful and should be prosecuted. The girl in the camera footage was dressed normally in a convince store looking to buy products she wasn't dressed provocatively she was minding her own business and yes it would have been embarrassing for her and she lost face. These dudes need to read up on Thai customs and social rules before going to Thailand read it at their own peril.
On a different subject how is the dable in Crypto going, are you up on what you invested?
Yes slightly and I doubled added on the dips. 👍🙏
