You still think helping a gang get women into a foreign country where they keep her passport and she's a prisoner until she pays of her debt when she's slept with 100's of guys - something you got paid for - *crazy"? I've got 2 daughters myseif and another word for people like you Paul. Its not "crazy" . Seriously you're lucky you already have no teeth bragging about stuff like this.
Interesting interview Pete. Glen should write a book on his life. All I can say, most criminal believe what they are doing is not hurting any one. Always look forward to you interviews Pete.
I first went to Thailand in 1989. I was single and Bkk was wild, “ Dodge city”. This trip changed my life. I was going to contact you last year but you had returned to Ireland . I’m now in California. If interested, I have story to tell, thanks, Gregor,
Amaaaaaaazing interview! I was so happy to find out that Glen is good friends with Paul. Both these guys have very warm and positive energy. These guys deserve their own sitdown show on youtube. Pete, please make another interview with Glen
@@jinparksoul Human trafficking is evil when the women do not know what they are doing, and get tricked into sex work and held against their will like deceived victims. This was not the case with this guy and his past stories. Perhaps many of the women were grateful to be able to make a fortune doing their trade.
Glenn is probably about the same age as me, we have both been married to a couple of foreign wives. I've been married to my current Thai wife 24 years. We both went to Thailand for the first time around the same year. We share the same name. But I never had the bottle to do all the dodgy stuff Glenn did. Really interesting stories and I would love to here more from Glenn.
What a great interview. You certainly get the intetesting ones. Got to say i was impressed how honest the interview was. You should try get the two lads together for a live stream chat.🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Interesting story of survival, intrigue, and suspense. Questions were on point and everything I was wondering was asked. Stories like these makes me ask myself if I have wasted my life and not challenged myself.
When people ask me about my life , I think they don’t believe me. I don’t speak about my adventures much except around my brother & dad who went through most of the adventures with me. Except for 12 years when we were in separate countries.
I just left thailand. Was in a shotgun wedding. Paid 8000 baht for a nice Thai and her mother and a house I think 😅 insane. Food is cheep. Big cerimony . And people brought us money. Mother fo that. Am I married ???😮 didn't sign anything. Wonderful people 😅
Very interesting interview Pete . There are many layers to what people do in Thailand . Despatches on channel 4 I know that show. They always went for stories that are different and hard hitting
Love to hear more about Burma, the rest of us have no idea whats happening there right now but Burmese workers in Thailand have horror stories of what sounds like genocide. Visited there in recent years & the people are so frightened of the military.
Wouldn't it be nice to have Glenn and Paul together 😀 Amazing story and loved listening to Glenn speaking. Good job Pete, as always ❤️🇹🇭🙏 Ps, think you enjoyed the interview too 👍
Yeah two human traffickers can reminisce on the good old days of delivering young women into bonded sex slavery. Sorry I think these guys are scumbags not 'characters'.
Pete its better u ask your guests what were their age when something happened instead of what year it was cos its hard for us to calculate how many years back & if the guy said “i was 25!” At least it gives us a good idea what stage of his life he at 🙂 thanks!
Bravo Pete, another fabulous job! I really like this particular character in the interview and the fact that he had connections with Paul. It's clear to see how they both probably had a good relationship. Both have likable traits about them. Except for that little bit of mustard, which added to their sometimes slippery personalities. But I think they both did good, considering they lived , and did things the way they wanted to. After all, isn't that a slice of what life's all about?
Pete, another brilliant interview! Of a genuine Somerset Maugham character, who actually lived in our own times. My first trip to Bangkok was 1986, and his "strange long trip" was also available to me then, if I only could of found it... (Admittedly, I never considered selling my passport on day 2! And yet somehow, Burning Your Boats does seem like the essential gateway to all these subsequent adventures.)
Greetings from Loei city, I am really looking to see the next VDO when he worked along the Thai Burmese border ! Worked for 10 years with the UN along the Thai Burmese border .
Hahaaaaaa.... He failed grammar test, but was still given a job to teach English... That cracked my ribs like seriously. Then he was doing "people moving business"... This is not funny, but I couldn't hold myself on that too.
I'm not really sure why you would want to glorify these types of guys. Yes, it might be interesting to hear their stories, but these are just criminals and should be in jail, instead of proudly talking about their life. But that's just my humble opinion.
I like to vary the content here on Thairish Times. We have had on some very successful entrepreneurs and human interest stories focussed mainly on people living in Thailand. We’ve also had on some edgy characters too. Thailand attracts a wide variety of people and i’ve tried to incorporate that into the people I interview
In fairness Chris I think that it's more of a reflection of Thai society and how the 'ruling administration' operate. The person of interest in these is literally a pawn but the "big players" and what they do and how they do it would blow your mind. People trafficking isn't purely prostituting people there's all sorts of things connected with it. In Thailand nothing is as it seems ,there's always angles with different taking a cut.
@@jefflinton yes Jeff, I agree with you and it’s already bad enough that these things are possible. But do these guys really deserve a platform to share these things? What he mentioned in the beginning for example, when he moved to Thailand and rightaway sold his passport because he didn’t have any money, makes me think, why go there in the first place? Those types of people often fled their original country because of legal issues and keep hiding in different places to not get caught. And it baffles me that they keep getting away with it.
I was a a commercial charter pilot and did many flights to the Gemfields central queensland back in the eighties and picking up Thai gem buyers who would have a big lockable brief case with a chain attached to their arm out to The Gemfields in north west Queensland buy up all the beatiful saphires and rubies and back to BNE brissy back to Bkk in under 30 hours. The briefcase normally had a 100,000 AU !
Get this guy and Paul Wallace together and just let them talk about the old days, viral vlog for sure 👍 another great vlog Pete, you should apply to RTE to host a talk show 🇹🇭🇮🇪
@@ThairishTimes Not a chance in hell RTE would have you. You are too real and RTE demand a pound of flesh to get paid by them. I.E. sell your soul. Never even consider it pal.
Fantastic interview Pete a really interesting guy. Looking forward to the next one...... As I told you in our interview I was offered to get involved in the "people moving" industry, but I didn't have the balls. Lot's of your viewers called bullshit on my story btw lol
I guess there is no shortage of meth in Thailand..... one tooth between the two of them. "people moving business', seems to be a comfortale euphemism for him. No regret, remorse, no,' Man, I'm so sorry for my involvement. If I had any idea these people were captives...', just laughs, good memories, and adoration for the bad guys. Crazy fkn world.... peace
Thank you Pete Amazing interview 1. if my math is correct, Glen is around 60 years old? 2. he said he couldn't buy weed to smoke, but then how they could buy the seed to plant themselves?
I'm sure for the Taiwanese girl in question getting married to a sex trafficker was her dream. My best mate's wife is Taiwanese - she's a fantastic woman. Sorry you had a bad experience but there are 2 people in a relationship.
@@jinparksoul there was a big documentary in Australia about it, nearly every woman said they knew what they were going for but most were treated badly after it, I don't agree with it all, just going on what I've seen about it and you asked if they knew
@@jinparksoul I'll try and find it for you, it wasn't too long ago I watched it because I was curious because of all the bad trafficking that goes across to Cambodia, I live right on the border and it's always in the news here but that's usually lies to get women to work in the casino's online scamming people
@@jinparksoul I have donated money, materials, time, and free English classes to women and children who have suffered from human trafficking in Vietnam. It seems like you care deeply for these unfortunate people who have been coerced or deceived into being slaves, whether sexual or other. There are many organizations people who care can give to help these people to heal/survive.
Glenn, did you know the two Lebanese brothers in the gemstone business who worked around the Burmese Border around the time you exited the gemstone business? I knew them in Udon Thani.
Shameless and amoral. Selling your passport is a crime. So is circumventing the legitimate refugee process. He should have been interviewed in prison. He earned at least a 30-year sentence. I was a teacher in Bangkok at the same time, with a legitimate teaching degree, and NEVER would have participated in any of these crimes, nor even associated with his mafia friends. None of the teachers I worked with were doing anything illegal, to my knowledge, other than a very few that I suspected were privately smoking pot, though I never witnessed it and they never talked about it around me. I kept them at a distance, too. Just as today in the U.S., I do no even associate with drug users. Most of what he laughs about is not funny to me. His kind of English teacher reflects badly on us all. My advice for anyone traveling to or staying in Thailand for any length of time is to avoid criminals altogether and do not associate with them, even socially. Same for all of Asia and any expat country.
I remember people doing this people smuggling thing back in the 90s. A mate of mine got banged up in Reunion for ages. Quite a few westerners from Thailand ended up in that hell hole.
"The people moving industry" lol, you mean human trafficking? Interesting guest but shady business altogether. Will be looking up that channel 4 documentary.
"Me and him hit it off right away...". Even after all these years, some of which involved being head of an English language school in BKK, this Canadian character STILL does not know how to handle pronouns. This is something that I find rather shameful. Something like this never happens to students at McGill University. Just another Rascal in Paradise story, it seems. BUT, I always watch.
I'm sure Glen remembers far more about it than I .... we did some crazy stuff indeed!

Maybe you can answer this Paul, but when Glen says Chinese Syndicates does he mean Thai Chinese?
@@christyler253 Yes
@@PaulWalliswriter thanks, by Syndicates he means Chinese mafia / associations sort of thing?
from my research Thai-Chinese mafia is very different to Thai-Thai mafia.
This bloke has some great stories its very interesting and educational.
First class interview. No judgements. Let it roll.
Interesting interview Pete. Glen should write a book on his life. All I can say, most criminal believe what they are doing is not hurting any one. Always look forward to you interviews Pete.
He certainly should write a book Thomas

Jaw dropping story. Not sure how I feel about this. This man is scary.
Get this man on again I could listen to him all day!
Such an interesting character.
It’s people like this you can only meet in Thailand

So glad you are posting again. I have been missing you, watching now
😊 thank you
That fact that he sees human trafficking as a victimless crime is disgusting. It's a shame he didn't get locked up.
Back in the 80's it was no big deal, like drunk driving in the 70's.
Interesting story of survival, intrigue, and suspense. Questions were on point and everything I was wondering was asked. Stories like these makes me ask myself if I have wasted my life and not challenged myself.
Yeah, when l look back at my life l'm constantly regretting not getting involved in human trafficking.
