These stories are my favourite on the channel, very good quality. thanks for sharing. stay safe mate

[@eli_manguala]

Surprised this video isn't blowing up. It's the classic cautionary tale of a foreigner losing everything in Thailand over a girl. Hits two birds: gives those who've made similar mistakes a way to feel superior, while giving others a valid cope to not return to Thailand. I have never experienced anything like that in Thailand, but maybe it happens when I get older.

[@BangkokPat]

Thanks! These videos take time to blow up but this is a slow burner in terms of views!! 👻😎😻

I like how you delve into the psychological aspects of living in a foreign country. I've been living in China for close to a decade. Let's just say, I've seen a lot. Like this guy living in Japan said, Japan will not fix you. I think the same applies to any other place on earth. If you're moving to Thailand or anywhere else to escape from yourself, it will catch up to you, sooner or later.

[@jameswright8529]

Yep I've heard it's hard to escape from yourself, when the self has such a grip on you. But ive seen a few here who are doing it pretty well, with the help of a few Leo yais.

[@Ryan_Powers25]

Man, I've been living in China for close to a decade and I've seen a lot! People coming and going, having difficult time adjusting. Honeymoon coming to a screeching halt. Police being called on expats for flipping out and smashing things. Yes, it's easy to get lost. I've been to Phuket a bunch of times and it is also an escape of sorts for me. Well, if you're gonna drink yourself to death or just get completely lost, Thailand is not the worst place to do it in.@@jameswright8529

The quality of content of this production is within easy reach of deserving a major production series on Netflix or similar platform. Could Bangkok Pat become a professional PI detective actor in the future? If anyone in the industry is watching this episode and reading this comment, a professional series production should be pursued with Pat as lead actor and simultaneous scouting locator.

[@belze0n885]

Fantastic story, Thank you for putting all the work in the video. It made my day

[@rpgbb]

I have found your channel a few days ago. It’s really great! I would recommend you to upload some of your old videos to get more exposure. For example the Halloween one now that it’s that silly time of the year again. Also the one of Bangkok sinking, rainy season again. Also about the red districts areas. I would keep them a bit shorter, at 20 minutes… 37 minutes for Nana? Ehh really? 🤣 Keep the good work! 💪🏼

[@BangkokPat]

Cheers, good idea to reupload Halloween!

[@rpgbb]

@@BangkokPatMaybe add some more horror stories, plenty of them All over Southeast Asia is full of these stories. There are places where taxi drivers don’t go in Singapore during the Hungry Ghosts Festival 👻

[@rpgbb]

@@BangkokPatAn idea for an episode would be about Thai women cutting their partners member because of jealousy. I don’t know if this rumour is true or not. My Japanese friend told me his girlfriend would sleep with a knife under her pillow. I was also told about a case of a woman cutting the top of her man’s thing, throwing to the chickens, then the guy going around to collect “it” and then going to the hospital. Maybe a nice Halloween subject? 🤨 🔪

[@donfarang]

It's not an authentic Thai story unless a ghost is involved somehow. Good story, Pat, excellent channel.

The concept alone of bringing a Bangkok tale to life is fantastic but your execution elevates it even higher. I've always said you have a creative eye for framing and composition and it was a delight to see that brought to life in this dramatization. The story is not only entertaining but the portrayal of Bangkok through the lens of the expat is well rendered. Thank you--again--for all your hard work and making time watching your work time well spent. Of course, I cannot say enough about the supporting cast you assembled in service to the starring wig: There are no small roles...only crooked parts. Can't wait for the next installment. Cheers!
