Thank you to Chris for stopping by 🙏 Hope you guys enjoy some of the backstory and Chris's story of discovering Thailand.
Have anyone else you want to see on One Night in Bangkok? Let me know here!
Chris secret sauce is he’s genuine.
Genuine? lol. Boy you fell for it. He's a total BS artist.
@@user-hjsjdhs23sdf Can you back that up with any evidence person who can't even be bothered to have a username?
Great interview mate! Been waiting for this one & Chris didn’t disappoint. Keep up the work👍😊
Thanks Jonny!
HUGE respect for this man representing Thailand so much and showing us both sides of Thailand. ขอบคุณมากๆนะครับ
❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching
I dated a Korean girl in 2002-2003 in Seoul and what Chris said is right about the parents. I never met her parents. She couldn't tell them I was American. We got death stares and insults when we were out in public. Some restaurants wouldn't let us eat at their businesses. One Canadian guy I knew who dated a Korean woman who owned a cafe, he couldn't go in there and act like he knew her because she worried that she would lose her Korean customers.
I have tons of stories like this. Even the little kids would tell you what nationalities they didn't like. So parents teach them that. I only lived there six months and moved to Thailand. You couldn't pay me to go to South Korea again.
Interesting. I haven’t experience this in Thailand so it makes me curious about places like Korea
Perhaps it’s because of their history with America and the war. American military bases still exist in SKorea. They don’t want to be used as cannon fodder against the North Koreans as with the case in other countries right now.
Interesting
My husband and I was expats in Baku Azerbaijan
My husband’s director was married with Korean
She had very high expectations and wanted to mingle only with high class society over there
She plaid Tennis and wanted to mingle only with rich
Her husband was German
But you could see he wasn’t happy because his dad never accepted his grandkids to be Korean and her Korean parents want for her to play high so they can show of with other Koreans..
So they live to satisfy other people and show off
@@OneNightinBangkok_ That's because Thais hide their racism well. You are a novice.
Glad I’m part of this great interview
Thanks for watching
Chris is such a legend he has such a deep love for the country of Thailand if anyone hasn't seen his early pay it forward videos they are a must watch such tearjerkers. I used to love watching his videos early on and especially his lives that would go for 3 to 4 hours out on the town they were just an amazing escape from the lockdowns we were experiencing at the time.
Yes I agree 100%!
Amazing interview. I warm my heart how much Chris love Thailand and give back to the country.
He’s great
Eric, Chris’ last comment on your this video rings true, this channel is exactly what Thailand needs. Great job.
Thanks so much 🙏
Chris is special 💪
He's a great guy!
Chris is awesome
Agreed. Genuine soul for sure.
😂 Great interview & Chris is terrific... Cool channel Eric. Woot woot🎉😮
Woot woot thanks for watching 👊
I'm heading to RB, Krabi next week for the first time, can't wait! I know it's one of Chris' favorite spots in Thailand.
it's going to be great!
Chris is a man of many different faces.
Great pod Eric, Chris is so informative and easy to follow and listen too. Your able to build a picture in your head the way he speaks which is great. Not to mention your questioning really helps too mate . Love it
I appreciate that!
The old wooden bridge to the Reggae Pub in Koh Samui - visited the island in 1996 for the first time…
Yup Chris' videos were my connection to BKK (I typically spend 2-3 months a year in BKK) while we could not easily travel from USA to anywhere.
Thanks for watching.
Chris is so upbeat. Awesome stuff. Thanks.
Chris Parker. Definitely got me of the Thailand bug.to visit and tour .mark wiens got me on the Food. Cant wait for my first trip!
You're going to love it.
@1life1kitchen - Be careful of Thailand! Once you go there, you will be obsessed with wanting to stay longer or never leaving! Once you're back home, all you think about is how to get back to Thailand. Thailand is very addicting! You feel like a better person once you've experienced Thai culture. After many trips, your next obsession is how to retire in Thailand!
@@kevinp8108. Man. You’re describing me!😂
@@zprodigalson - It describes many people from all over the world who have fallen in love with Thailand.
Love the videos! Love how I came across you and you interview youtubers I know. Enjoying all the videos man. Got out of the NAVY and bought a one way ticket to Thailand!
You're going to have a great time 🙌
Been living in or traveling to Thailand for 20 years and my story is basically exactly same as Chris. Started out getting a degree in filmmaking then worked in the film industry as a PA then started teaching English in Japan and discovered Thailand 6 months later. I was making videos 20 years ago on videotape too!. Good to see a less YT side of Chris and hear about his story.
Yea it’s cool to hear the backstory
Great great great show from you both. Chris, you are a very interesting person who seems to have lived a great life with plenty more to come. Really enjoyed this guys. Ps, your wife is a legend for calling the move shot, behind every great man, is a great woman
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is just the most wholesome interview. Thank you!! Ive grown to love Chirs over the years!🐘🥥🌴
Thanks for checking it out 🔥
Chris changed my mind as to where i was going to go for winters once i can retire. Gone are the dreams of mexico or one of those countries down south. I think Chris is the happiest person I know just wish I can grab some of that Thai happiness. Great interview. Thanks.
I’ve never been to Mexico buttttt somehow I think I would
enjoy Thailand a lot more
I’ve been watching Chris for a while now and enjoyed learning about his experience in the entertainment industry. His RUclips video about arriving at Suvarnabhumi, made my life a lot easier, when I flew into town three weeks ago. 🙏😀
Thanks for watching
the thing that got me hooked on retired working 4 you was the pay it forward video's and the great things he did during covid with the food parcels etc to the less fortunate and the work with Icare is incredible!
Yea I really loved those as well
Great interview thank you. I’m heading to Thailand in March your videos of helped…. You did a video on an amazing spa now I can’t find it🤦♀️. If you have time please would you consider replying with the name and location?
I visit Thailand annually and discovered Chris (like you did) during covid. Big fan! Now, I've discovered YOU!
Welcome to the family 🙏
I’ve been watching your Vids Eric for a couple of months now and I am enjoying your content ..:
Good to see Chris onboard
I didn’t like him at first as I thought he was a fruit-loop but have grown to like him very much ..
I’ve become accustomed to his personality and authenticity ..
Keep up the good work both of you ..
Every day I dream & agonise about moving to Thailand to retire but at the moment I’m just making sure it all makes sense and crossing the T’s & dotting the I’s …
I’ll be in BKK in July for three weeks and that seems an eternity away 😩
The time is going to fly by and you will be here so soon. And once you get here you will never want to leave
I watch Chris' content. The production background all makes sense. Now. I'm a Boston kid too.
Cool backstory, right?
Just found your channel. Great interview with Chris Parker, one of the best I have seen. I subbed. Good luck with the channel. How about bring on Paddy Doyle.
Thanks so much for watching 🙌
Thank you for this interview, I have been watching Chris for a long time, and you are correct, he has inspired me to consider the move! BUT I do plan on a major visit first! Great Interview!
Thanks for watching!
great conversation. As a fellow canadian i always follow chris's videos. wish i could make the jump. i am 35 years old so different demographic than chris.
Ahh I think with a little planning you can be here sooner than later. Thanks for watching
Chris is a such legend,i just got to know that Chris was in film industry,but as supplier to film companies.As well for you Eric you are event organizer,so you guys get along.You must be over the moon to be able to interview Chris.Such a legend.His videos are so inspiring,yet these podcasts are becoming larger and like Chris said totally needed for Thailand.What an awesome Chris backstory.
Thanks for watching and yes, it was great to sit down with Chris
Very enlightening. You guys hit all the subtle nuances while preaching to the choir.
This was incredibly inspiring and has cemented my dream of living in Bangkok. Now just how in the hell am I going to do that? The tricky part.
I know you will figure it out 🙏
Great interview with Chris!
Cheers from Koh Samui 🏝️
Thumbs up 👍 Eric and a Thumbs up 👍 Chris

Im a big fan of Chris and his channel.
He’s great 👍
Great interview - good questions and no ums and aahs, very professional! 55
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great convo! And I fully relate to both these guys, having started out in rave production in the mid 90s, then moving on to work in video production for the last 17 years, and now about to make my first visit to Thailand this month. Informative and entertaining stuff, thanks guys!
Thanks for watching
This was a great interview. This was interesting!
Thanks for watching 🙏
I really like your interviews, keep on going. Cheers
Thanks for the comment 🙏
Such a great watch! I’m aiming to make Bangkok base next winter! Something about the energy of Thailand is infectious! Really resonating with you two talking about the western mentality, new subscriber!
Thanks for checking it out and welcome aboard!
Great conversation, thanks!
Thanks for watching
Great video Eric, new to your your channel, but been following Chris since 2020, awesome view of Thailand, been a visitor many times, but plan to make Thailand my home in 2025
Thanks for watching. Hope you love your time here 👍
Chris must be around my age
I born 1972
Lived in many countries
We were in Barbados when lockdown happened.. but after that moved to Dubai
For us we adapt very easy everywhere..
It was easy to be upbeat in Bangkok the 2nd half of 2020. We weren’t locked down like the rest of the world.
So many of my friends who live or have lived in large cities get caught in the bubble phenomenon. They say they want to go travel, but the troubles of just getting out of the city and their "comfort zone" deter them from traveling. The friends I have that live in smaller cities, do get out more and travel within and outside of the country.
Thanks for the comment 🙏
wow this is the channel I'm waiting for
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Slamming that subscribe!! I love bkk I live here 60 days a year in hotels tho not residence but I am close to committing lol
Love it. Thanks for joining 💪
GREAT interviewing by you, ONIB! And wow is Chris the man... He's the manifestation of what so many of us 80's/90's kids (and apparently 2000's+ kids!) dreamed of becoming.
My perception of Chris has changed from this interview (in a positive and shocking way!) in that he comes across, and I believe truly IS, a wicked real, down-to-earth person that parlayed his creative nature + business acumen into a dope-ass "real-world" career that was ahead of his time in the early 2000's - WOW Chris, so inspiring!!!!
I say this next comment with the deepest reverence and respect, but it's almost hard to believe that this fuggin awesome dude created the filming production empire that he's responsible for..!! I think he'd have been the same inspirational and relatable RUclipsr that he currently is, with or without his success in the entertainment industry.
We wanderlusting North American kids of the 80's and 90's were always so deeply called toward taking the leap that Chris (and ONIB fella!) took. The vast majority of us never conjured up the courage (that's ME) to just friggin go for it , but Chris' content is such a heartening vacation into the dream that's always possible, but likely has passed in our late 30's and 40's. I have so many buddies that feel like they could be utterly content in doing what Chris does, myself included, however most folks cannot do the awesomeness that Chris does. And that's my favorite part about Chris - his transportive travelogues and sliding doors videos of a life that might've been lived (and maybe still can!?) feel 1000% like watching your best bud living the dream in Thailand, or any foreign land.
Major thanks to both of y'all
Thanks so much for the comment! And yes, Chris definitely is a very "down to earth" kind of guy, despite the RUclips fame. Hope to see you over here soon 🙏
Great video 👍
Thanks 👍
❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Great podcast
Thanks for listening
had no idea his company was that big wow
I am in industrial sales. I just visited Thailand in nov 2023. I just fell in love with the place. All of it. Bangkok, phiphi, phuket, chaong mai, chiang rai, all of it.
Can someone genuinely suggest how can i move to thailand forever!
Initially the easiest route is a student visa. Otherwise you'll need to get an excellent pension plan, followed by a retirement visa.
I'm not even a public person and I get hate comments too, so I know the feeling. For me it's because I visit Reddit.
I thought that dude ran away from Thailand like all the other youtubers during the pandemic?
Nope
Do @CB media interview ❤
Yes I plan to ask Chad as well
the weird covid era panic
Can't believe everyone fell for that government psy op
Thailand has already changed
It’s constantly changing. It’s inevitable.
Does anyone know if the money I make off of investment dividends count towards the income needed for a retirement visa?
As far as I know, it doesn’t matter - as long as the money originates outside of Thailand
Lived in Thailand 9 years...I would never go back to the Christian Fascist States of America!
I've been told that the book, 'The Beach' is actually based on events in The Philippines.🤔
Interesting
@@OneNightinBangkok_ I've not read it myself, so it's merely word of mouth.
