Getting Bullied in Thailand | This actually happens in Thailand

[@HigherLove70]

That is exactly how people park to avoid having their cars dinged or scratched. You got called out for doing something wrong. Then you didn't repark the car. That is not being bullied. You just resent being told what to do.

[@trickolas78]

When the watch man told me about my parking violation I showed him a photo of him sleeping on his duty and that was the last time i ever heard of any complaints.

[@rolandpettersson]

No, it's not your own business if you park your car in a way that makes other cars hard to park or access.

[@MtekAndroidTv]

I could only get half way through this bolx, thinking why don't you just park the car properly?

[@HundredPercentSteve]

Park your car correctly! You're mistaken.

[@emmanuelfinley4049]

Just park your car, right. No questions asked. Just do the right thing, period. And you don't have to worry about anything.

[@fatwallet13]

Sorry mate but you can clearly see your car is parked poorly from your own picture. Front ns wheel is about foot from the yellow line & your back ns wheel is across or on the yellow line making the rear panel going to boot in the other space. From what I can see the other car whilst being small, someone trying to get in the back via the door would struggle. I'm from the UK & thing's like this piss me off but the real issue is your arrogance to think it's ok to do what you did, chill out & just have a bit of consideration for others I'm sure it would have only took you a minute to straighten up your car & that way you are considering others. You may not like what I've just told you but I'm just being honest with you from what I see from your own picture. Try to consider others it goes a long way, treat people the way you'd like to be treated yourself, that's always worked for me.

[@GroundControl2MJ]

He’s parked within the allowable yellow lines ffs That’s regulation enough

[@pixperformance21]

This is an issue with assimilation. This is normal in most Asian countries. I'd rather get a notice about my parking than the good old American way of some condescending prick yelling at me.

[@kevinp8108]

Hi Dave. I debated whether or not to respond to your rant since I consider you my teenage idol. I don't consider what happened to you as a case of being bullied by Thai people and you are the one who is wrong. You and your family live in an apartment complex, not a single-family dwelling so you must be considerate of other residents who have to live in a communal setting. Try to imagine that if it was OK for you to park improperly, this would send a message to the other residents that it's OK to park improperly without consequences. Parking your car like an A-hole can interfere with someone else's ability to get into his/her car, especially if the driver or passenger is disabled. I used to drive my senior mother around on her errands/appts and it used to piss me off whenever a car next to me parked too close or over the line where I couldn't get my mother into the car with her walker or wheelchair. Yes, there are handicapped parking spaces but they are not always available. In the US, if you're an a-hole who parks his car too close to the line or over the line, don't be surprised that your car gets keyed or your tires get flattened. I think you're more upset about them sending your wife a photo of your terrible parking job rather than dealing with you directly. It's not bullying but rather it's their inability to communicate with you in English. If you were fluent in Thai, I'm sure the security guard would have spoken to you directly. Dave, please don't be that A-Hole Farang in Thailand! That Swiss man who kicked the Thai doctor in the back has put foreigners living in Thailand on notice.

[@rogerparis]

Much ado bout nothing. I’m sorry friend but on this matter your wrong. Be glad for order. It’s far better than disorder. If you can park 2 degrees off then another person can park how they choose as well. You either have rules or not. With everything wrong in the world, this ain’t one of them.

[@ubiquitousdiabolus]

If somebody harasses you, just start speaking gibberish that sounds like some Eastern European language.

[@HairyPixels]

The Thai people in Bangkok aren't like the people in Chiang Mai at all. I've never seen them bothered by parking unless you park in front of their shop.

[@AllAboutLifeInThailand]

You were parked badly. I spent this morning teaching my daughter how to park in reverse and sent her around about 10 times because she was not parked straight. And it look like more than 2 degrees. As for Australian mandatory voting, it's been that way for years. However I do disagree with mandatory voting because 90% of them don't have enough knowledge to vote intelligently.

[@ratreer1523]

And that's only the Abbos.Its higher with the immigrants

[@AllAboutLifeInThailand]

Hahaha

[@ubiquitousdiabolus]

Mandatory voting just dilutes the votes of people who actually want to vote.

[@ofn2487]

I would have done the same as that other resident. I can't stand people who park incorrectly. Its annoying to everyone around the car. Honestly, the probably dont like you, you film all over the place and you never have a smile on your face. You have the right to think what you want, but you did something wrong and someone complained, just like you do every day on these videos. how can you call saving face bologna? Honestly, I watch your videos but you really get my blood going sometimes...feels like you are not happy here and you can't accept and assimilate to the culture. I have never seen you smile or have anything positive to say except " I love thailand, its a great country, BUT....." - do you really love thailand? I dont think you do.

[@williamwhite3405]

If you’re an Australian overseas you can still vote at the Australian embassy anywhere . Election day in Australia is BBQ day So you can grab a sausage sizzles and a latte , cast your vote and you’re done. Who won’t want to vote? It’s 5 minutes out of your life every 4 years. It’s worth voting just for the chat with neighbours and the coffee

[@petergorm]

It's a scam when you are forced to do it.

[@williamwhite3405]

Tricked into voting by the promise of throwing an extra shrimp on the barbie ?

[@nedimyra]

It’s a bit contradictory because you put your kids in private British school bro. Just chillax and move on, it’s not the first time about the parking that they tell you something last time was in your condo. Anybody people will vote for they will all end voting for Goldman Sachs and blackrock. If you don’t understand don’t worry. Let’s go see the pretty women 💆🏻‍♂️life is too short

[@geoffjessamine7807]

Great video once again I live in Thailand and parking a car in my condo is a joke with the security guards trying to instruct me (not anymore as I informed them that I've been doing this before he was born) I mean these people drive so well, up streets the wrong way, drive on footpaths and park cars on corners of the road etc fuck me the list goes on and on Also you are so correct with 2:47 the fines ($200 not $20 in Australia)

[@AuntyJack123]

It was $20 for us missing the referendum while in Thailand. Not $200. Sent the form back telling them, we'll see!

[@geoffjessamine7807]

Talking about when you are living in Australia

[@HairyPixels]

Being forced to vote makes a mockery out of democracy. What they're basically saying is "you must eat what I prepared no matter how terrible it is and don't complain because it was you decided to eat it in the first place".

[@bangkokbob2849]

The point most people miss is that they think voting will make a difference. Most countries are two party states. Vote for party A then vote for Party B both being told what to do and what agendas to advance to suit their masters. As the saying goes different masks on the same face or two cheeks on the same arse. This is the illusion people fall for generation after generation no wonder some countries force their citizens to vote. And those that don't soon will if turn outs get low enough.Soulution stop giving your power away to pyscopaths that constantly manipulate you.

[@therealdarcman]

The backend of your car looks like it is on or even over the yellow line. If you were parked beside me I would have said something to you. If you want to park the way you are look for an end spot. You werent getting bullied, you were just getting told to park properly. So essentially you were in your spot and the one beside you, uhhh how about learn how to park and quit crying about it.

[@LearnToReadThai]

Once you've lived in Thailand for a while, you will realise that the Thais have very different belief and value systems to people in Western countries. The title of this video with accusations of bullying is ridiculous. When my wife was learning to drive, around 14 years ago, the lessons were conducted in a large, quiet car park. An inordinate amount of time was spent teaching her how to park parallel to the lines. She obtained her licence with very little experience of actually driving in real traffic. Her driving isn't great, by Western standards, but her parking is fine. She will even chastise me if my parking is a little sloppy. When you go to any car park in Thailand, take a quick look around and observe how straight the cars are parked within each parking space. In Western countries, the value system is different. Observing traffic laws, obeying traffic lights, and driving safely within speed limits are important and enforced. In Thailand, these things aren't important or enforced, but, for some reason, neat parking is important. If you live in Thailand, you need to get used to, and adjust to, the different values and beliefs, even if you disagree. It's not always easy - even after 21 years - but it is necessary. If you continue with this kind of attitude, firstly you will end up becoming very unhappy. Secondly, you may incur the wrath of locals and that could result in some very unfortunate consequences. As you said at the start of the video, you should just let these things go. That was what your gut instinct was telling you to do, and that was what you should have done.

[@SV-kr9fu]

Couple of thoughts: 1. Your kid is not very well disciplined. 2. You parked like an a-hole. You should have gone back and, correctly, park your car after going after your kid. I am sure you would not like it, if the car next to your parking spot parked the car like that. This is not a case of bullying.

[@Pessina-Aleotti-ig4mb]

You take it too much to the heart bro, at least in Thailand they don’t bully kids. Just say yes and sorry and move on bro

[@msbrownbeast]

It's not a small thing as the author claims. When you park your car straddling over the solid yellow line you are infringing on the space of the car next to you. It's a show of lack of respect towards others. In many places, that's an invitation to get your car keyed.

[@Dutch-K9-Unit]

Well if I see how they drive motorcylces and cars in Bangkok and Thailand its by far more dangerous and BIG ISSUE 22.000 people died every year in Thailand in traffic, and now they complain about what I can see not a wrong parking car... ITs hilarious and a shame this kind of childish people.

[@AndiGomez-yu2dx]

That's the Thai's for you... Often expressing outrage over minor issues, while overlooking more significant, underlying problems that could ultimately lead to their downfall. A mindset that i will never truly understand.

[@stevesteve1027]

Firstly I enjoyed the video. There are a lot of commenters commenting that you are in the wrong they totally missed the point of your rant. I've been in Thailand for 5 years between going back to England to make money. I'm no shrinking violet and we're quite happily take someone on in the street over the smallest thing. The point here is that in Thailand everything has to be done a certain way and I see this all the time with my girlfriend she will never step outside the boundaries of Thai custom. I'm not interested in all these people who say you're in Thailand now you must do as the Thai people do. I am in Isaan. My girlfriend will do everything and anything to please the locals around her full stop I remember a time when she said to me The Neighbors in our Soil were getting annoyed by our dogs. I believe she was next going to say I think we should get rid of them. The man next door has chickens and they roam all over our garden and s*** everywhere and they jump up on the tables and eat our food that we have just prepared it's an absolute nightmare. But God forbid one of our dogs go in his garden and he's got a catapult house firing stones at our dogs, girlfriendwill say nothingtonthe neighbour's but is quick to yield to them. I'm Lucky in that I'm not an old man and can look after myself I don't take any s*** off anybody although I'm not stupid and I pick my battles. Why anybody wants to stay in Bangkok is beyond me but if you've got bills to pay you've no choice. Like they say your possessions will own you. Ps. Ive been having a chuckle. May you can bring in "Hi Pom Pood Thai Tuk Wan, Pom Pood Thai Geng ...welcome back to the channel" As an opening catchphrase ? Maybe get Tee-shirts made to promote the channel? Loving the content

It was parked at an angle though, 'What's the big deal?' is only a question asked by someone who is arrogant enough to think they can park their car any way they like and not see the issue with it and it was far more than 2 degrees in that photo. You are just trying to justify your mistake.

Second of all you should have known that you are forced to repect the laws of the country that you're in. and lastly Can't you just park the car correctly? It's not that hard really normally people in Thailand can park properly so why can't you? If you do have any disability of not being able to park your car properly why not just tell the people? There are so many ways to resolve this problem peacefully without posting and complaining on KZbin.
