@@StuartJayRajThank you for showing and explaining what is going on. I would not know to go there and I would not understand what is happening under the surface.
Daniel tammet is the real Einstein. He is a savant that did an interview in Icelandic after studying for a week. I wish he did videos but it’s not his thing. He did prove that he could do it though.
นึกแล้วว่าต้องโคจรมาเจอกันซักวันนึง 😁 I've watched many videos of Stuart Jay Raj's channel. He's the expert of many languages, he know Thai language better than the Thai native like me, that's crazy!. Glad to see you guys joined up in this video with uncommon interesting content, (kinda shame that you didn't recorded in that building😏). I'll look forward to see more both of you on the next episode, thanks.👍
2 years ago I forgot all of my Thai speaking after moving to the UK (I am half Thai) and now I am studying Thai everyday so I can speak the language again and I was really encouraged when I saw your channel 😁
Very interesting. Good information and something new I learned about Bangkok. To be honest, after watching this video, I am rather apprehensive about visiting that area. The impression I got was that non-Chinese would not be welcomed there -even if you can speak Chinese. But thank you for showing us around. I'm genuinely surprised that you didn't know what อาบ อบ นวด was.😊
Thailand is my birth country that I left 51 years ago and have never been back but three times in total. It feels like a foreign country to me now. Without many of my old school friends there I will certainly get lost on my own and feel anxious there. I admire Mr. Polyglot because I can only manage Thai, English, and French.
Jay Raj just have to found the logic in those languages and some what stitched them in his brain, amazing! Me and my wife randomly met one girl back in Sweden that, when I met and talked to her, had lived in sweden for around 8 monhs, her swedish were as fluent as if she were born here, on top of that spoke arabic, dutch, french and spanish as fluent. I am truely amazed by multilingual people and I wish I had more interest in languages back in school, as 52 years old I can get around in thailand and survive using only thai, but more deep discussions are out of the question still.
The man, the myth, the legend! 😂 Stuart Jay Raj has always been a favorite of mine. Very knowledgeable on a country’s language and history. Because of Stu, I still tell people sawasdee khap comes from the Sanskrit word *swastika* I watch a lot of your videos but this might be the first time I’ve left a comment. Not sure how most RUclipsrs like you two meet, but I’d love to get in the loop.
@@ThaiTalkwithPaddy gotcha. Is there a platform content creators use to talk on or is it just through RUclips comments? Appreciate the reply by the way 🤠🤙
Wow, Jay is amazing! He can even tell the difference between old and new Chinese characters. Interesting video, but it would be hilarious if the guys went right back to the Ab Ob Nuad after the video ended 😂
Wow. This was an interesting side to Thailand. I really enjoyed it and Stuart really amazed me. Not only fluent but also able to read and tell us what the signs meant.😀
Can anyone recommend any interesting Thai channels with English subtitles like Paddy has? I feel like I'll pick up words quicker when I hear people talk in Thai. I think it'll supplement my learning.
Interesting that ‘ab-op-nuat’ is the same way that Japan operates its “soaplands” and the middle aged mindset of wives and husbands is pretty similar in each country. Although I think that is changing.
Koop khun maak kap! This Video was great! I speak Thai maybe 4-5 %! 🙂 January i go Laos and Thailand! Visit Girlfriend in Laos and we visit Thailand too! Greetings from Munich ,Germany
interesting customer service with the lady who wouldn't even look at Raj. i experienced something similar at a chinese-owned restaurant in Phuket when I asked about a room for rent
Where are you now khun Paddy krungthep or back in lower north shore ? Bravo to คุณ เจ พูดได้ แล้วอ่าน ได้ด้วย ❤ Naughty you at Posiden อาบ อบ นวด what a shocka 😂 i live near Rachada at Ladprao ! 🎉
great video and well done for including some detail that others might choose to leave out. It's a part of Thailand and deserves an airing. Interesting that the paranoia of the Chinese embassy didnt take long to kick in. Always good to see SJR pop up in a video although I can only guess what the poor noodle girl thought when she encountered him 555, All up a good look at a different area of Bangkok thats very different to the old Chinatown
My good 'ol uncle once said, he's never see someone who can solve some kind of crazy equation as a 'smart person', but it's polyglot person that he admires as the 'smart person'.
There's a huge new Chinatown in Vientiane too. A lot of it looks like it was new before the pandemic and went bad during it. Hard to know though since stuff declines so fast in the tropics, maintenance is typically poor, and I think there are a lot of investment/development scams. Restaurant prices there were even in Yuan. I get the weird reactions in Chinese shops in these kinds of areas. A lot of the time an employee follows me around to make sure I'm not shoplifting. I assume they do the same with all customers and not just westerners. Totally different in Malaysia. I wonder if the soapy massage thing came from Japanese "soaplands"? There used to be a lot more Japanese pop culture influence in southeast Asia. It's been subsiding and Korean pop culture has been rising for what 20 years? I don't sense much Chinese pop culture on the other hand, it's more expat stuff, which is a different phenomenon. Anyway a great video - thanks!
Great video, so interesting too, especially the Burmese girl language skills. BTW how does she a work permit to work in a restaurant? The CCP photographing you I found a bit disturbing. And you two, what happens in a soapy stays in a soapy 😅
I have recently visited 6 cities in china ( also hk and taipei) and no where have I seen signage with simplified Chinese made to look like traditional characters like that/ calligraphy style
You guys are chicken. You should've had a group session with 2 or perhaps 4 girls. These places have suites to accommodate such groups. Okay, you will need lots of baht for those sessions.
I hope and pray Thailand never adopt the anti-immigrant attitude so common in Western countries now. Immigrants contribute to the economy, as well as cultural richness.
Look, if I was the alleged Chinese Embassy staffer, I would’ve answered Stu with “Did you ask the lady’s permission before filming inside her shop?” Maybe Stu can read this 己所不欲勿施于人. However Chinese or East Asians in general are just not that confrontational. I know Stu is not a filming in the street guy, but I’m sure Paddy you know very well that you don’t get many people asking questions like Stu did in the video. Despite saying he feels like a Thai and having spent 30 years in Thailand. I guess culturally he never will be.
Filming a public area and filming a person speaking is not the same. You can see they didn't film the lady in the shop. The shop can tell them no filming and they wouldn't have any problems, just like the other places they visited and didn't film in the video. He asked them if they're filming, but he didn't say that they can't film him. Filming a person without asking when he can see you film him can be offensive and is just frankly being rude to that person. The act itself is confrontational! But i guess you may not get it culturely.
that could be a never ending 施于人loop depending how far you go back 😂 Mainland embassy types take very broad liberties surveilling and even intimidating not only Chinese but other foreign nationals outside of China - seldom especially here will they be called on it
@@StuartJayRaj Never expected the reply. But glad you pointed out the loop theory. But let’s be honest, how long it’s been since China or Chinese is at the wrong end of bad press by western media. My point is the alleged staffer didn’t even admit that he was filming you. But you chose to make an alleged incident public with no way of proving anything, without giving any benefit of doubt, is just not fair. And that’s exactly why we have come to where we are now that is there’s no trust between the Chinese government and any western media alikes. Your action of letting this go public justified the alleged action by an alleged Chinese embassy staffer who you were never sure or other else can prove. I like your language contents very much by the way and I’m a long time subscriber and continue will be.
Jay Ray is the Albert Einstein of languages !!! Thank you very much for bringing him up, Paddy !!!!
@@_Alfa.Bravo_ he is definitely the master! And happy to call him a friend too!
feeling's mutual Paddy. Can't wait for our next adventure... I believe Monday 😂

Wow! So far this years most inspiring clip, lovely to see these two giants to congregate!
Love this clip so much. Please collaborate with Jay Ray more ka. Paddy‘s face at the last part is so funny 😂.

Glad to see you both together again in a new interesting episode! 🔥🔥
You're the best! Thanks to both of you!
What a great episode! Opened my eyes to so many things (no....I'm not getting a soapy massage anytime soon). What command of language JayRay has!
Another great watch Paddy!! It was so interesting to learn more about how big of a chinese culture hub there is in BKK. You and SJR are too good🫡
Great video guys really enjoyed it and super stoked to see the legends together
wish you were there with us Dai
What an amazing video Paddy, get to see SJR (Who I follow too) with you, and SJR speaking multi languages ! - You guys rock !! - Thanks :)
That was very interesting. Thanks for the tour, Paddy and Jay.
the best video i saw on RUclips since very long time. i subscribe man.

Great video mate 👍
ดีมากคับ ขอบคุณมากทำวิดีโอ น่าสนใจมากคับ 🙏

Very good video with very clear audio.

Yes a video good video Gentlemen. I wonder how much the Soapy was 5000THB?
I think that’s probably at the upper end 😂 didn’t give it a proper analysis though
There are many brothels hidden in Huay Kwang district 😎😎😎. In the time around 30 years ago.
Interesting that ‘ab-op-nuat’ is the same way that Japan operates its “soaplands” and the middle aged mindset of wives and husbands is pretty similar in each country. Although I think that is changing.

It's a pity there's no good hotel nearby. I tried to find one in that area but it's hard to find. The Emerald seems very old stytle.
interesting customer service with the lady who wouldn't even look at Raj. i experienced something similar at a chinese-owned restaurant in Phuket when I asked about a room for rent

อบ can also mean to steam. So อาบอบนวด actually translates to wash, steam, massage.
Great video nonetheless!
please make more videos together🙏🙏🙏
Those Chinese shop owners look not so friendly, because they don't work legally here. They don't even have a visa.
Very interesting stuff.

6:40 I think it's possible she was not only wary of foreigners, but also didn't want to be filmed.
My good 'ol uncle once said, he's never see someone who can solve some kind of crazy equation as a 'smart person', but it's polyglot person that he admires as the 'smart person'.
You were being tailed also.....why all the heat with Raj?
ต้องให้ ตม.ไปตรวจ สินค้ามี อ.ย.ไหม ตอน ตม.ลงไปตรวจปิดร้านกันเพียบ ทั้งร้านอาหาร ร้านขายของ สายข่าวพวกนี้ไวจริงๆ แต่ก็คงเป็นคนไทยด้วยกันเองนี่แหละ คนที่เวียนมาดูทุก45นาที อาจเป็นสายของคนพวกนั้น
5:25 is that legal?
I have live in thailand only 15 years and speak thai nitnoi.

Jay is a bit of a self promoter for sure, but his language skills are unquestionable.
They were in there for 75 minutes.
I’m Cantonese and don’t usually get on with main land China people where is predominantly Cantonese that good in bkk #freeHK
JR is the fkn goat
Ahh yes, Poseidon massage. Had best ever experience there, treated like a king I felt guilty lol
Most thai people has ethnicity of Chinese. Most of my classmates aren't even 100% Thai.
SJR is the GOAT
Maybe the peeps taking photos are just big TTWP fans?
"We did not do anything in there", no because that's THEIR job ;)
5-minute noodles?
There's a huge new Chinatown in Vientiane too. A lot of it looks like it was new before the pandemic and went bad during it.

Question is, did you go back to the ApObNuat rights-of-passage after SJR left? haha!
Great video, so interesting too, especially the Burmese girl language skills. BTW how does she a work permit to work in a restaurant?
The CCP photographing you I found a bit disturbing.
And you two, what happens in a soapy stays in a soapy 😅
It feels like Huai Khwang is occupied Chinese Secret service. 😂😂
I like you so much.
7:07 how can she fool a human google translate like SJR ? lol
I have recently visited 6 cities in china ( also hk and taipei) and no where have I seen signage with simplified Chinese made to look like traditional characters like that/ calligraphy style
its not too late to cut that ending mate. very awkward lol.
We must have different definitions of the word awkward!
@@ThaiTalkwithPaddyyeah . not sure if I'd use the word 'awkward'
