Life on Minimum Wage in Thailand..

[@dennispack4119]

If only more foreigners came to Thailand to learn about and appreciate the culture (and pick up some ideas how to improve their own). Your video is so much more respectful to Thailand than the ones that just show you how to take advantage of such a lovely place and people. Well done, mate.

[@Not2Day-u5u]

You can choose what kind of life you want to live in Bangkok. Sometimes it's luxurious. Sometimes it's simple. But it will always be safe.

[@keisone]

Agreed!!

[@paulcockley-gf4bc]

Lol locals don't have a LOT of choices

[@amigo339]

@@paulcockley-gf4bc USA is better ... you have more choices ... be a drug addicted in Kensington Ave, Philadelphia - living like a Skid Row in L.A. - be a homeless in San Francisco - or be an immigrant in New York ..... it's all good ..... !!!!!

[@nzimalaya2011]

You can choose 🤔 I doubt anyone chooses a life ridden with poverty or surviving on under 10 usd a day ... Bangkok is a large city and has its rough neighbourhoods just like any other large city in the world, but I can definitely say I feel more safe in some parts of Bangkok in comparison to European cities of similar size.. but again, *we are all entitled to our own opinions* 😊

[@golden166]

@@nzimalaya2011 Some of them are actually rich but they refuse to move because there is their home place where they grew up. Government always wanted them to move even offer new house which is bigger. They says no because they want to stay in that community with friends and family. Oh i just watch 11.13 he already said that.

Dude you’re really good at this, putting out some great content. Interesting and informative, well-researched and well-presented. Kudos!

[@keisone]

Oh thank you so much, was a lot of fun for me to make too! I’m enjoying these videos lately 😊

[@vintageexcellence]

I am absolutely amazed by the lack of theft among the local Thais, you can leave expensive stuff on a table and walk away for 10min, doesn’t matter how poor they are they typically do not steal. In Los Angeles it’s almost the opposite where everyone will steal from you rich or poor with the poor believing you owe them and the rich feeling they need it more than you. I do think Thais have something more and generally live happier with what they have than us in the west.

[@shabbos-goy9407]

agreed they're not thieves

[@maria_silly]

it's apart of the culture most of them aren't thieves

[@Beep-Boop101]

Your video really brings into perspective how spoiled our lives are in the west, we want and want to go broke, but there they live on what is necessary and keep a good attitude.

[@PCVP4729]

It's not "the west" that are spoiled, it's the middle class and upper classes of every country on Earth. People in Thailand who are working as managers earning 6 figures a year don't bring attention to these communities either.

[@shanemudry3065]

Love this content mate. Very deep and meaningful and shows the other side to Thailand everyone sees in the media.

Great stuff Adam. Showing an invisible ( to the Westerner) side of this amazing city. Nice work. I hate cities, but love Tokyo and could happily live in BKK. Such an amazing and positive place.

Ah it has been interesting to learn about life for people like you here in Thailand ❤️

[@arsenal_84]

Possible to share what's the wage range like ? My friend wife has a masters and she is only getting 20k baht per month working for the Thai government.

[@peeptbgod7047]

Thanks for showing this part of Thailand. Hope people remember when they visit to show kindness as you never know what people are dealing with. I know Thai government isn't usually too friendly about videos that show too much of the "truth" but this was very well done.

[@keisone]

[@simonwalsh8546]

Great video, thanks Adam, just a very real look at another very interesting side to amazing Bangkok, and loved how you finished …..maybe it’s these communities that actually know something many of us in the Western world don’t …. less can often actually be more, it’s all about the people, love and friendships and how humble there lives are that are actually often richer in many more meaningful ways !

[@rhythmicgolf3720]

Excellent video, I always go and explore Bangkok when i'm there walking to different areas. I feel safer there than I do in Toronto, Canada. People that have not been just can't seem to get it....well done!!!

[@elvisquiles9394]

Hi Keis, EQ from Orlando, FL here. I agree with Flit, that this is absolutely one of your best videos and one of my fav's. If all my plans work out, I'll be in Thailand at the end of the year for some time and will reach out to see if we can meet.

[@streetfoodmagic1638]

Really insightful vid mate, really enjoyed that! Come to Thailand frequently & in Bangkok currently for 1 month. Really enjoy visiting the spots away from the crowds to be quite honest. I can really relate to this subject matter. Keep up the quality content bro

[@keisone]

Thank you so much 😊

[@travelhelps7071]

I spent sometime in Thailand in the 80's . As I recall, the minimum wage was approx 100 baht per day or 3,000 per month. I've watched lots of Thai youtube channels , perhaps hoping to re-live the experiences from that time. For some reason , today, the algorithims suggested this one and I must say it's the best I've seen. Congratulations - you've created a very interesting programme to watch Thank you!

[@michaelgothenburg364]

The most important thing in this video is that those on minimum wage smile much more than you do !!!!!!!

Some of the nicest folks I have ever met were "poor" in central Missouri here in the states. Went to an auction there and then they had like a beer garden with dinner after. Real community, old trucks and cars and small houses but never felt more kindness and true compassion, but to someone from St. Louis living rich in material things they would think central Missouri was poor...

[@teckin139]

This is a great video. You have shown in this video what I have known for a long time and that is that even lower incomes in Thailand are better off than lower income in most western countries. In my country it costs about 50% of my wages to afford a place to live. Realistically once you add up what a Thai makes vs what someone most of Canada basically Thais will have more money left after bills. You can't compare the value saying they only make $10 a day and think OMG that's nothing because that comment means nothing unless you realize what that $10 can get you. These people are living in a climate where they don't need heaters and can survive year round comfortably. There are so many people in Canada living in tents because they can't afford rent or maybe have some drug problems, not for me to judge. These people in your video look happy and healthy, I feel like they are winning.

[@juleskayak]

Excellent insight great video

[@gloofisearch]

What an amazing video. It shows that community and not money is so important. The biggest difference between Thailand and the rest of the world, is, that jealousy creates these wars between people, thus you have dangerous neighborhoods in other cities around the world as people are jealous for what you have and want it. In Thailand, it does not seam to be that way and that makes living there so good.

About electricity and water bills There is government welfare. But you must register and confirm your participation. If the electric bill is less than 300 baht (50 unit/month), it's free. If the water bill is less than 300 baht, receive compensation of 100 baht.

I hear different amounts on the min wage in Bangkok. English teachers make 30-35k avg salary. Very interesting video though. I do this around Beijing sometimes. I'm planning to move to Bangkok for a year to teach English. The water machines you showed are only in apt communities or housing communities in Beijing. You can't really find them outside of a community.

[@Truthseeker371]

In Johannesburg, South Africa, the minimum wage per day is 300 Rands, US$28. The cost of living is higher there than Thailand. Power and water cut happens regularly. Crime rate is higher than Thailand. Many homeless people there. The unemployment rate is 40% or even more. Every country has poverty and income inequality. If you're income earner, you need to rethink consumerism and wastage. Saving is vital to go ahead in life. Whether housing condition is not ideal, there is at least a roof over the head. In the economically peaked Western World, more homeless, mentally ill and drug addicts are on the increase, along with economic migrants influx. The Thai Government welcomes tourists and stayers with sufficient funds.
