Expat Life in Asia: 10 Reasons Thailand Beats Japan

[@PhilipJames360]

For this video I shot it from Osaka and Bangkok. When traveling to other countries, it always validates why I love Thailand the best. It comes down to quality of life and warm-heartedness, and how a place makes me 'feel'. I feel best in Thailand. Question for you: where is it in the world that you 'feel' best?

[@forlua]

- I once told my professor, (a Russian who studied, worked, and had lived in Japan for a long time) that Japanese is kind. He immediately responded, "Japanese are very polite but not necessarily kind". So, it is nice to hear you pointed out 00:19:36 the differences between kindness and politeness because many people misperceive that politeness has to come from kindness, but that is not always the case. - Many people see Japan as a collective society similar to Thailand, but that is not true at all. By nature, Japanese are very individualistic (this is polar opposite to the Thais), but they are forced to live together in the collective society by rules, maybe due to the harsh weather conditions, natural disasters and wars. This explains why in the interview 00:25:46 he feel more human connections in Thailand than in Japan even though waitress/waiter are also welcoming in both countries. (actually, waitress/waiter smile even more in Japan because they follow the rules and practices, but in Thailand people are more genuine about their feelings, if they smile, it means they are happy, if they look grumpy, it means they are in a bad mood, but surely the expressions will not be as obvious as the westerners) - Finally, if you ask Thais which country they want Thailand to become, 90% of the people will say Japan. Thais adore the Japanese so much especially about cleanliness, work ethic, orderliness, and politeness.

[@PhilipJames360]

Interesting to hear your professor said the same, about the difference between polite vs. kind. The thing that you mention about collective seems true. In Japan the 'collectiveness' is different from Thailand, it feels more forced in Japan, less 'together'. Whereas, in Thailand it feels the opposite and more natural. I wonder how much of Thai admiration is due partly to being naive to the realities of Japanese 'cold' and less joyful culture.

[@vet_4055]

Your opinions are intelligent and insightful, and filled with years of experience. I sincerely appreciate ❤ ^_^

[@forlua]

​@@PhilipJames360 Many people realize the negative side of Japanese society, especially the young, and surely, they don't appreciate that part. Idealistically, Thais want the cities to be more clean, more organized, and the people to be more obeyed to the laws, and more responsible to the public. Ironically, the main obstacles of all these is the sabai sabai mentality. Sabai sabai could stand for happiness in buddhist sense or the term associated with laziness, irresponsibility. A japanese youtuber who have lived in Thailand for so long once said, adopting pros of japanese values with the thai values will create the most perfect human.

[@samsan4644]

I am Thai and what you said is so true. I guested it's the orderly, cleanliness and the communal responsibility of the Japanese society we admired so much. Maybe in a sense, we feel that those are the kind of things far fetch for our society to be able to achieve. when I learned how Japanese teaches children in kindergarten, I was astounded. The amount of discipline and responsibility ingrained into every school activity is crazy. Sabai sabai is a thing in the Thai genes. I admired Japan very much BUT I would never live there just for the very same reason this video mentioned. I think many Thai especially the new generation do not realized how lucky they are, to inherit an exceptional cultural traditions and religion for which played a vital role how the Thai society are shaped into. We have a society of acceptance and not tolerance, thus making it more natural as a collective community. Not perfect by any means but much acceptable for everyone.

[@MilesKiyaAnny]

I can say that 90% are want to travel there to get a culture and relaxing like many other tourists while 10% are work aboard and finally this serious work culture is soooo to their thing and they prefer working there following their singer dream etc.

100% true, not only Japan, Thailand beats every country on planet earth, while most western countries are drowning in debt with people queuing to rent unaffordable apartments and rising cost of living, Thailand is as affordable as it was a decade ago. Thai's also do not take BS in their life, if they do not like something they just quit, slavery isn't in their genes, they keep stress to a minimum, which is why they are so happy, polite and kind aka lack of corporate slavery like in Japan & west which sucks your soul for few pennies.

I have a Japanese friend who at first didn't want to come to Thailand. But due to increased benefits such as accommodation and transportation, he was able to come to Thailand. But upon arrival, he paid a fixed fee, delicious food, sightseeing, and a feeling of relaxation. Including having more money to save. But when he was sent back to Japan, he felt regretful and did not want to return. Thai people take care of him and send him back. He had a sad look on his face.

But we will not abandon our old habits. fun-lovingness It is a simple and uncomplicated nation. We are a people who live a simple and friendly life. Japan has an advantage in that it is a serious country. and set goals As for Thais, they have simple, laid-back personalities. Like siblings who have different personalities. Each person has different advantages.

It also depends on the preference. If you like to be alone and love being by yourself, a nice area in rural Japan would be best. On the opposite side, if you want warmth from other people and acceptance, Thailand and many other asian countries are receptive and appreciate foreigners who want to know about their culture.

While, Thailand are more of slider from City life at Bangkok to Villager kind and cheerful life. Chang mai still between City and Villager life meanwhile bottom of Thailand are Fisherman villager life.

Food culture Thailand during the ancient kingdom such as Ayutthaya In the 18th century, it was considered one of the largest metropolises in the world at the time. with a population size larger than Paris and London. It is the region's first city with more than 1 million people living on the river island and surrounding areas. which is a new city created by two kingdoms agreeing to build together There is a Western description of the greatness of Ayutthaya. that it is the city of gold or "Suvarnabhumi" from the top of the castle and Buddha statue It is a port city where forest products are gathered. and high quality spices exported to China India and Europe including ordering imported products Therefore there were many merchants, laborers, slaves, and fortune-seekers who came to live there, until many foreign communities and villages were formed. Such as communities of Chinese, Japanese, Persian, Indian, Portuguese, Dutch, French, Mon, Lao, Makkasa (Indonesia), Malay, Cham, Lao, Khmer (Cambodia), Vietnamese, some of whom have held the position of Chao Phraya. or Somdet Chao Phraya Equivalent to the position of Prime Minister or governor Such as Chao Phraya Wichaiyen (Greek), Phraya Ratchabangsan (Persian), Phraya who was Chinese. and issued Yasenaphimuk or Yamada Nagamasa or in the reigns of King Rama IV and King Rama V during the Bangkok period, he also had the position of Phraya in the field of law for the Belgians and the Japanese. or giving the position of a high-ranking police officer such as a Danish, Malayu, or other important position For these reasons, raw materials are imported from abroad such as papaya peppers, various vegetables, as well as food recipes. Made from Europe, China, India and Persia, as well as Malay. mixed with pre-existing local food along with creativity, observation and development in making food recipes and desserts of Thai people.

Japan is a beautiful, clean and orderly country. Including having high discipline Sometimes it feels like a robot and lacks life. Japanese people are similar to Thai people in that they are polite, well-mannered, considerate, and have the same monarchy. and used to be great in the past But Japanese people are seen as polite, neat, and gentle. When they are angry, they have a fierce personality. Opposite of the first personality Similar to his geopolitics, in times of peace it looks beautiful. But when there are natural disasters, they are severe and frightening. Thai people have been familiar with the Japanese since the Ayutthaya period. And there are Japanese people who have held the highest position, up to the level of Chao Phraya, which is equivalent to the current Prime Minister. We became close friends before World War II and when many Japanese invested in the project industry in Thailand. They were involved in helping to provide weapons and equipment which enabled the Thai army to reclaim some of the territory lost to the French Empire at that time. My professor is a law professor who graduated with a first class gold medal from Germany and teaches in France. Including being a part-time lecturer teaching at Tokyo University. He said that when he flew from France to teach privately in Tokyo, Two Japanese teachers came to thank and praise Thailand. who are Japan's best true friends Because when Japan lost World War 2 and announced its surrender The following year, the Thai government announced its surrender and would not abandon Japan. Plus, donate rice to help Japanese people in times of need and no one to help. Because they saw that Japan was poor and had lost the war. Even Russia, which made a treaty of peace and amity between them. broke the contract and sent fighter planes to bomb Hokkaido until it was damaged and captured 4 Kuril Islands.

Due to the weak yen, little or no increase to Japan's wages, and no spike in prices, Japan is more affordable than Phuket. Phuket's cost of living is higher than Chiang Mai, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Japan. Some people try to come to Phuket on a low budget, in this case it is less enjoyable.

タイの物価高と日本の円安が進む中、両国が比較対象として注目される機会が増えそうですね。 タイ語と日本語はどちらも学ぶ価値のある魅力的な言語であり、それぞれの文化を深く理解するための重要な鍵です。言語を通じて異文化を知ることで、新たな視点や可能性が広がります。 ヘルスケアについては、日本のシステムは全般的に非常に優れており、安心して利用できる点が強みです。一方、タイでは経済的余裕がある場合に高品質な医療サービスを受けられるという特色があります。この違いは、移住や長期滞在を検討する際の重要な判断材料となるでしょう。 また、メンタルヘルスの観点から見ると、日本人にとってタイはリフレッシュの場として非常に魅力的です。特に地方エリアでは、心身を癒やす環境が整っています。しかし、バンコクの生活は忙しく、精神的余裕の面で日本と大きな違いは見られないこともあります。 さらに、快適な生活環境を求めるExpatにとって、タイの社会は国際化が進み、多様性や寛容さを感じられる点が大きな魅力です。一方で、日本では住宅事情や社会的な側面で排他的と感じられることがあり、この点は両国の明確な違いとして浮き彫りになります。

Someone who actually likes you, doesn't ask for money, makes their own money, is educated and intelligent. That's common in Japan but very uncommon in Thailand.

Those women and girls you were speaking to in front of the Hindu temple are Nepali.

Thank you for this video it convinced me that I will never be an expats in Japan But could be nice to visit to renew thai tourist visa The money system is broken and in some countries like Japan this is more obvious than in others, And all the surveillance from government just make people sad and sick

Short visits to Japan are perfect. At one time being an expat looked attractive, until spending extended time there.
