5 VIEWERS STORIES & EXPERIENCES FROM THAILAND, VOL 152

[@ian-wu2bb]

Thanks!

[@ThailandBound]

Hi Ian, thank you so much for the donation to my channel, it is very much apricated and very generous.

[@jsprasad0702]

Hi Peter, I enjoy listening to the stories read out by you. Today I liked the story of the India Engineer. He is right - In India many organisations specially Sales organisations run sales campaigns and the winners are taken to Thailand for 3 day trip. The sales dealers come to Thailand in droves and sometimes behave in a nasty way. It's sad and unfortunate but that's the it is. But they contribute to Thailand tourism in a big way!

[@ThailandBound]

Hi Jandhyala, Yes that was also my favorite story, good to get another perspective on things from a different culture.

[@twentyrothmans7308]

Thank you, Peter - some great stories again.

[@ThailandBound]

Cheers and good to see you in the stream last night.

[@1974mysteryman]

Loved the stories especially the one with the young Indian man. Thanks

[@nicholas389]

Great Stories Viewers/Story makers! Appreciate your efforts Peter. Always great to listen to these stories. It's like you're there watching everything behind the story makers shoulder! Great stories as always.

[@mikeh8786]

Morning Peter. I just listened to these stories early on Sunday morning having returned from Thailand yesterday (Saturday after it ). As usual, great stories - I enjoyed the one from the Indian guy (last week there were literally dozens of groups on Indians roaming around Pattaya but that’s ok). As you know, I go there often for work and I see this there too. I have to agree with you regarding your sentiments about the UK, it’s just boring and dull (it was cold and raining when I landed, so missed the best-wave) . I can see why you have decided to move there. Keep up the great work and I’ll catch you on the Friday live-stream. Cheers 🍻

[@sodapopcurtis7396]

really interesting stories this week, I especially enjoyed the Navy story as I first visited Thailand the same way back in 05 on a port visit and the Indian guy's story was good and eye opening as well

[@Luisperez-lz6ym]

Thank God for abundance of stories to come

[@gurufabbes1]

Congrats on another video. I have enjoyed watching these for the past 2 years and look forward to more as we approach the day where entering Thailand becomes trivial again.

[@ThailandBound]

Glad you like them!

[@jacksonj3082]

Glad you read the story by the Indian chap - yes there are so much hate towards Indians and Chinese tourist in the BKK Post comments but not all, Indian and Chinese tourist warrant this hate - many or most are actually very nice and educated.

[@jimmydempsey6857]

I spoke to an Indian guy in Pattaya who was a really nice man, very well off and spoke 2 languages.

Hello I am writing from San Diego I am a security guard and this helps get me through the night at work. I live in Mexico and I cross the border everyday to work in San Diego it's my dream to save up money and go to Thailand hopefully I'll be able to go to Thailand in October of this year. Wish me luck

@orangeniggalo4767 Did you manage to save up enough to go to Thailand?

[@orangeniggalo4767]

@@ialwayswin6082 I have not gone to Thailand yet I'm still in Mexico I want to go to Thailand maybe at the beginning of 25 or if I'm lucky maybe by sukron in 24. Living in Mexico mix traveling to other parts of Latin America very cheap like a ticket from my city of Tijuana to Tulum or Cancun only cost $100 I can fly there on the weekends and I can also go to Los Cabo for about $50 round trip. Asia is still too far away from me right now I'm just focusing on work but by living in Tijuana while working in San Diego I've been able to save up thousands of dollars already with these I should have double digits early next year in my bank account

[@ThailandBound]

Thanks Roger.

[@noeljr.7724]

Great stories as always. When I stayed in Pattaya, I would withdraw whatever money I needed in the morning and return my bank card to my hotel room, well hidden, before going around the city. I would keep the bank card and money in seperate pockets so in the event of being robbed, they would likely only get one or the other. When I left the card back I would keep the money seperate aswell. X amount in one pocket, Y amount in another. It might sound overly complicated but it's too risky to have it all in a wallet or bundled together with so many opportunists hanging around.

[@ThailandBound]

Hi Noel, nope, does not sound "Overly complicated" it sounds very wise and is the same as I do!

[@rossonero9536]

Love the Indian guy's story and could relate. In my youth, I could have watched a thousand KZbin videos warning me about bar girls etc, and all would have been forgotten within 2 minutes of meeting a stunner, lol. And no, I won't judge a billion Indians based on the handful who call repeatedly claiming to be the IRS (us gov tax agency) threatening me with immediate arrest if I don't pay my tax debt (by iTunes cards) within half an hour.

[@damon3487]

[@marcp108]

I took out insurance for my upcoming trip because of entry requirements. However, even if things change as of 1 July, I'm still covered for b750,000 for accident or illness for the two months i'm there. Love the sailors on leave jumping into the families water supply. When I applied for my tourist visa I needed to include a bank statement with my application. Ha ha caught out by a lady boy! Enjoyed hearing a story from someone from another culture.

[@eliasjasondavid708]

Dear Sir, it's actually true.

Great stories as always Peter! I’m going to follow your lead and wear a wife beater today, Waitrose watch out JB’s in the market for a premium ready meal and he’s giving your customers a free ticket to the gun show. Tickets can be redeemed for a free aerobics session. Have a great weekend!

It's not real. Digital software.

[@tarocalypse]

Enjoyed the stories, as always Peter! Curious… the background graphics are from a video graphics engine demonstration? Or asking a different way: the graphics are software made and not real scenery? Not complaining mind you… just… the clouds seem wrong and a few other things. Or should I check what I’ve been eating and drinking?

[@ThailandBound]

Yes, well spotted, background is software, just used it once to see if any good but actually I would rather use real videos for future videos.

[@Joe-id8bd]

Maybe the man from India and Mai will have a happy ending. It's good to hear a success story once in a while. The story of the lady boy is scary. Is it that difficult to tell? Why wouldnt they make sure you were aware? This is something you dont want to find at the last minute.

[@ian-wu2bb]

I was never asked how much money I have . I believe it was rascist against indians

[@steve1113663]

[@humanman5913]

lol, i was joking with the Tuktuk drivers a lot in Bangkok. i went on a trip to Thailand alone. i tok the chois to stay in Bangkok to get used too the heat. but I had done my homework before I went on a trip, i knew what a price on a taxi should be. First night a Tuktuk driver i not will name came up to me and a German man i had met and said he wanted to drive us, we wanted to see the nightlife in Kosanroad, i knew the taxi would cost around 50baht, but he started with asking 1500baht :-P i was expecting a quite high first price, but this was sooo much higher tan i expected that i just blasted out in laughter and called him a Nit noi Dingdong Thai bandit :-P (a little crazy Thai bantit) its a looong story both before and after this. Maybe i will write report on my trip and the things that happened, was there 7 month. i ended up getting to know some of the Tuktuk drivers, how they lived, the scams, a little how it works and so on. they have quite a story some of them gys when you take with you a bottle of whiskey and some food and sit there with them drinking up the bottle and sharing experiences from where we come from. lots to tell, ended up seeing a lot of Bangkok for free from the Tuktuk :-)

[@humanman5913]

Ended up paying him 150baht to kosanroad, you almost never get them lower then 3 times the taxi price, all this was the first night.

@Thailand Bound - Hi Peter would you please be able to do a video on how to avoid lady boys and what to look for in Thailand and how now to get scammed by them? I have had too many friends who have sadly met lady boys instead of real women.

[@tarocalypse]

You can ask directly. Women will not be offended, and most ladyboys will give an honest answer. Also, most bars have an obvious policy re employees or freelancers. Ask the lady/man in charge. Don’t be afraid. Ladyboys are often the life of the party in a group!

Hi Peter, I am replying to one of your stories on Phuket which mentioned as being in 98. I was in Phuket that year as well as Bali. I visited some bars a few streets back from my hotel of Holiday Inn.Had an unnerving encounter with a supposed European who ran over to me after this. He stood right up in my face without saying anything to me even after I asked him what was his problem. After getting no response I scared off. What do you reckon?

[@ThailandBound]

It was obviously a nut job

[@kal77uk]
