Nice vid, man! An obvious one for me and any halfway mature person for sure, but what I really love here besides your narration is the amazing tour you’ve taken us on there. Really dope backdrops here of amazing Bangkok, I especially love the river side parts and boats. Funny how even without focusing on sightseeing parts, this simple vid makes me move to Bangkok again with the many places you’re showing. Great content!

[@Nebula37]

I've lived in Thailand for six years and I think this video is very accurate. I'm not going to re-write everything I said on the previous upload, but everything he said is correct, including "wear a shirt". I've seen guys in the middle of Bangkok or even on the express ferry proudly going shirtless and a.) you look ridiculous and b.) people (commuters) are not impressed by your idiocy. Have fun but just be respectful to everyone else. Save the "no-shirt" look for the beach.

[@user-ys9kp1xx6t]

Yes, I am Thai. When I see tourists Taking off my shirt in public at a mall or a boat or a pub, I would look and think, Does he take off his shirt? Take off your shirt for nothing or want to have a fight. He's definitely a villain. This one is definitely retarded if it's an older woman. may like to look at puppets But most of the time They think this shit is crazy, narcissistic, nonsense, mentally retarded. My girlfriend, a woman, sees him take off his shirt and get on the boat and have a great laugh.

Love your content bro. You can't get away from the graff. I wish you would pick up a can and do a graff video on Thailand .

[@shinchanmuhara7474]

I would also like to add my one point : Smoking e cigarette or vape is not legal in Thailand. Its easier to think they are legal given that you will it being sold on the streets right next to malls or popular places but be aware you can be arrested for 2 years or have to pay 10000 baht fine. Talking from personal experience I had to shake up 5k (unofficially) to police in Pattaya. I

Often it's either a lack of respect and or too much alcohol that leads to idiotic behavior. Be respectful of the the people and their laws, remember you're a guest representing wherever you're visiting from.

[@curtchesnutt4992]

Ultimately, you cant fix stupid. It is often a conscious decision on the part of the individual. And for those leaning and haven't fully "bought in", it usually just takes a beer or 20 and...it's off to the races! Still, a great public service piece and very well said!

[@czechyalater_]

I'm glad you addressed this bro! nothing more embarrassing than seeing an Aussie running a muck and thinking its ok to do so. I've seen some shiz go down in Patong and the amount of disrespect for the awesome people of Thailand is not needed. Awesome vlog as always brother!

Most of the people who visit Thailand Think of it as a land of freedom, you can do anything. The word Thai means freedom. because Thailand has never been a colonial colony Therefore, the word freedom is derived from the word Thai.

Eating and drinking is not permitted on the BTS, MRT and Airport rail link! Time and time again I see foreigners drinking and eating on public transit. People need to be respectful and use common sense.

[@keisone]

Uhhhh yeah that’s another one!!

[@ricochete5875]

Didn't know that.😮

[@thaweeratseanghirun6812]

Yes, and surprisingly there are warning signs along the way both in the station and in the train. It was impossible that they could not be seen. It makes it possible to recognize the quality of those people. On public transportation, Thai people use minimal noise or avoid making loud noises so as not to disturb others. It's a culture and etiquette. (But there may be some in the elderly who are a small number of older people who use the phone loudly.)

[@Educa69]

Nice know it

[@TheScottBonnar]

Before watching the video I thought keep the shirt on , the #1 headline on The Pattaya News " Shirtless Foreigner arrested after drunken rampage ".

[@Lew-hb7qi]

The no shirts issue in Pattaya of all places is hilarious - out in rural Thailand where it's much more conservative, you'd find it much more common to see people walking around without a shirt

[@vassanab4243]

Basically don’t do it in the city or go sit shirtless in the restaurant. In the rural area it’s more like home, everyone know each other so it’s more like you walk shirtless at home.

[@thaweeratseanghirun6812]

What you observe makes it clear that you do not understand the local way of life and even the daily life style. In rural areas, living them, many men have been shirtless since ancient times. That's right, because they live in their area. In a traditional rural village society. (You should find information to study the Thai rural lifestyle). But when they have to enter the city or government offices, shops, restaurants or public places, everyone wears normal clothes. Because the words "etiquette" and "decency" exist in Thai but not in English. It's like the word considerate + showing respect to others. But foreigners in Pattaya totally different in your country Can I take off my shirt and walk into the restaurant to sit and eat? Important things in Thai culture Thai people take a shower at least twice a day every day. What about you guys? Especially in countries with cold climates. When you travel to Thailand, the weather is hot, do you clean your body every day when you wake up and before you go to bed? Different body odor?

Hey bud . I just realized I wasn't subscribed to your channel. My bad . I've been checking out your content for a awhile now. I have a question, I'm heading back to Thailand in August and always spend about a week in bkk. In the 5 & 1/2 things not to do vlog. I can not remember where that last scene was recorded. The art court yard/ park. It looks great. I mean it looked great 5 years ago. And pretty sure I found it 6 months ago. But I won't be enjoying this trip alone. Any help for locating it would be amazing. Can't wait to spend more time there, but a month every 6 months is ok. Cheers. Keep us inspired to live our dreams. Thanks Scotty

[@MandatoryMyocarditis8]

I buy that. If you're at a swimming pool or doing muay Thai then there is no shirt on. If you're running and you look like you're training for muay Thai, that would work too but it should be in the vicinity of a training camp.

We just got back to Australia from Patong. I don’t know if people realise that they look like massive wankers when they walk around with their tops off. There was a lot of different nationalities doing it. It’s really not that hard to respect the culture of the country you visit.

[@glaubhafieber]

I had some really nice experiences with thai police. If you’re not sure if something is acceptable, just politely ask them. They like that you’re not a dick and really interested in their rules. Like asking if it’s ok to drink a beer on the beach. They won’t arrest you for a question and might say it’s ok, even if it’s not. Let them realize that you don’t want to break the law. I asked a police officer if it’s ok to cross wireless road in Bangkok when I didn’t see an official crossing solution. The guy even crossed with me and stopped traffic. Be nice to people and they will be nice, too

[@wickysmall8607]

One more thing and this might save your life, do not drive a mortorbike if you have no experience 😉 drive slow and pay attention (no earphones with music). Too many horror stories of people losing a limb or sometimes their life.

Alcohol, drugs and prostitution drive many people to misbehave. Everybody is on vacation and is so cheap. 😂

[@davesmith2150]

No shirt is fine in Pattaya on beach rd just don't go in to any business or walk up the soi. Thais don't go shirtless because they don't want to get dark skin, also you can argue with Thais, just say it like it is if they start getting angry as with anywhere in the world back off most thais won't get angry with you so long as your not aggressive or angry.

Foreigner think they can do everything in Thailand but no... we have rules. Many youtubers go to make vlog in Thailand and another country and bully people in that country it's not good. I think when they go to another country they have to learn the rules of that country they go.

[@jasewuttke1197]

I'll redo my comment from yesterday. Just because you come to another country for a holiday at no point does that allow you to become a dick there. Thailand is an awesome place I travel to Patong 3 to 4 times a year and have been for many years now in that I have seen a few spats happen but it doesn't last long when it comes to doing it to the locals. It amazes me how quick they come out from Soi's and sort it out and most times not nicely on the tourists behalf by the time the police get there they have all gone and the tourist is left to have everyone stare them down for what they done. Back to Patong in less than 3 weeks would be great to catch up with you sometime Adam heading over from Oz.
