Extreme poverty in Thailand | This is what a labor camp looks like.  Pattaya, Thailand 

[@Joymax168]

The majority of those working in constructions and other menial jobs are not Thai poeple, but are people from neighboring countries such as Myanmar. You simply ask them where they are from.

[@Jayoutho]

Good work shedding light on the side of the coin that is rarely viewed or discussed. It definitely puts things into perspective.

[@Travel_fulltime]

Glad to hear the feedback! Thanks for the comment brother. I many more videos coming!

[@nickyum4022]

People are so poor but they always stay like they would if they were rich. They don’t let poverty stop them. Such kind caring people.

[@TheYammerHammer]

Thanks for yet another POV of the bankbook slums! It really is eye opening and does make you grateful for what you have!

[@jlamont]

Extraordinary. Thank you for shining a light

[@ash31311]

The people living in this camp are likely Cambodian or Burmese, who have left even worse poverty to work in Thailand and hopefully improve their lives.

[@Travel_fulltime]

Well that makes a lot of sense now, their Thai sounded a bit different. hope you enjoyed the video. Is this year a go to type of content? i’m considering trying to become a little more niche specific with my channel.

[@Travel_fulltime]

@@happy4ever305 Most of that comment didn’t make any sense but yeah I’m aware there aren’t any big slums there. By the way, the title of the video was “Labor Camp” because that’s was it was. Also nobody living there was from Myanmar or Laos. Thankyou for the comment tho 👍👋

[@Travel_fulltime]

@@happy4ever305 not sure. Just trying to make a good video. where are you from?

[@dantesalazar7805]

They speak thai

[@archiecamilon4102]

Is it okay to the Thai government,that other nationalities can build a home?Just asking?I think they are Thais.

[@leahcim501]

❤ Good video documentary Sam. Hope all is well for you bro.

[@Travel_fulltime]

Goddamn it’s good to hear from you! Everything is great besides Crypto lol. Thanks for the comment brother!

[@leahcim501]

@@Travel_fulltime 😆 I hear you. The crypto markets are about to go back up soon. Stay safe, keep traveling my friend.

[@whereswoody1022]

good vid you helped to keep poppys bar afloat with the amount you drank there

[@Travel_fulltime]

😂😅

[@piryga]

This is the worker camp.The worker stayed until the project been complete and move the camp to another place. (I'M THAI AND I TRY TO EXPLAIN, HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND ME)

[@Travel_fulltime]

I understand you perfectly. I’m not sure if it was translated from Thai or you wrote everything in English but I spent about six months out there and learned around 200 words in Thai. Can’t wait to come back and visit again. I’m familiar with how the Worker camps operate, but I thought that would be a good title that would catch people‘s eye.

[@DankDaHerbalist]

Are the owners locals or not?

[@Travel_fulltime]

Yes I’m pretty sure the owners are local. It’s not really like a factory type of camp it’s more of a place to get them cheap living and help them find work. Still pretty rough conditions though.

[@DankDaHerbalist]

@@Travel_fulltime yeah it’s like the low income apartment type deal fucking sad… and Americans still fucking complain

[@Joymax168]

The majority of those people are not Thai people; they are mainly people from Myanmar (Burma), Cambodia, etc.

[@DankDaHerbalist]

Damn Sam truly great documentary type video 👏

[@Travel_fulltime]

Thank you brother I really appreciate the engagement!

[@DankDaHerbalist]

@@Travel_fulltime you truly deserve more views on your videos!

[@Travel_fulltime]

@@DankDaHerbalist Yeah seriously I really don’t know what the fuck is going on lol

[@jean-guynewbrunswick7483]

How the heck did they end up like this?

[@Travel_fulltime]

Good question.

[@archiecamilon4102]

Poverty exist every countries except Monaco I think.

[@shaunmacredie]

Cool vids bro.. I like to see this side of life, even tho it is sad for the people. I am arriving BKK July next year then plan to live in Phnom Penh for a year. Have fun man

[@Travel_fulltime]

Yeah it’s really heartbreaking to see but when I go to places like this I have about the community a lot and I try to just give them cash in a hug but 90% of the time nobody will except the cash because everywhere you go people always try to be the giver and not the taker. Everywhere in Thailand the peoples mentality is very similar.. nobody wants to take a hand out without something in exchange. and a lot of the time when you try to tip they make it very clear that you pay too much and try to give you the correct change. Or sometimes they’re just confused because tipping it’s not very common in the Thai culture.

[@ParkerPlaza]

@@Travel_fulltime WOW....all new to me.

[@CooldadFLHTCUI]

Hey man what happened to you?

[@Travel_fulltime]

Kevin Ross CSA?

[@theHeath]

🙏

[@ParkerPlaza]

This is something else......how is the drug problem there?

[@Travel_fulltime]

Good question, hopefully they’re not doing anything like Flocka, bath salts, or a crocodil. 😡😩 I was hanging out with some other guys at the labor camp, and they mentioned ice (as in crystal) and I got the idea like it was a common thing and they were pretty open about it. Besides that ecstasy, and ketamine are pretty popular. Good stuff too lol. Kratom is definitely everywhere and easy to get. And Bettle nut is a big one almost everywhere in Southeast Asia. I don’t think the pharmaceutical problem with opiates n benzos is as bad as the US. They’re not exactly in the lead with medicine and research but there’s somebody whipping up there science experiment pills. Whatever Big Thai Pharma is selling just might kill ya faster than whatever is on the street. I think weed n Keatom leaf is legal now. Why can’t people just be happy with a beer n a hooker?😩

[@Ben-jr6vl]

I need a cheap place to stay, does anyone know how much? I have a budget of 10usd per day but that is all the money I have to live on so this looks perfect for me

[@allinonethegreat]

You can’t even afford a ticket out there stay where you at lol

[@Ben-jr6vl]

​@@allinonethegreat already broke here in Pattaya, it will be my home at the end of the month. I'm 49 years old now so Im ready to die here. I would rather live there for my remaining days then sleep on the beach

[@allinonethegreat]

@@Ben-jr6vl damn bro I wish you well. Pattaya is a beautiful place. You should make videos for income and upload it to KZbin.

[@Ben-jr6vl]

@@allinonethegreat I might just do that for you. Though I don't have a lot of strength left haven't eaten in 7 days. I still may last a couple of weeks. I'll get busy with that tomorrow. All the best to you.. thank you for your kind words

[@allinonethegreat]

@@Ben-jr6vl no way you haven’t eaten in 7 days you would starve to death lol you’re trolling now lol. Too many good food spots out there that’s cheap to go hungry

[@TheYammerHammer]

I hear Weed is legal in Thailand now! Your eyes confirm that this is true!

[@Travel_fulltime]

I’m not 100% sure but that’s what I heard also. There might be some gray areas. it definitely isn’t the same type of legal that it is in California. I think there’s a bit more regulation with selling it in shops and permits and stuff like that. And the laws with growing also I bet are much different. But that’s just what’s written in the laws so after all it doesn’t really mean much if you’re in Thailand. just like most Third World countries all you need is the right amount of cash to pay off the cops haha

[@suchirachobngan4261]

Thank for vedio. That is real. Coz our govemnt can't see, can't hear anythings.🤐😮‍💨
