Speaking Chinese in Bangkok's NEW CHINATOWN (A VERY SHOCKING Response)

[@_Alfa.Bravo_]

Jay Ray is the Albert Einstein of languages !!! Thank you very much for bringing him up, Paddy !!!!

[@ThaiTalkwithPaddy]

@@_Alfa.Bravo_ he is definitely the master! And happy to call him a friend too!

[@StuartJayRaj]

feeling's mutual Paddy. Can't wait for our next adventure... I believe Monday 😂

[@Stoney-g1o]

​@@StuartJayRajThank you for showing and explaining what is going on. I would not know to go there and I would not understand what is happening under the surface.

[@mathiasmuller5648]

Daniel tammet is the real Einstein. He is a savant that did an interview in Icelandic after studying for a week. I wish he did videos but it’s not his thing. He did prove that he could do it though.

[@DavidPaton-s4i]

My old German Teacher Mr Herrning spoke 21 languages fluently , could converse In a dozen + more.

[@The88Peak]

นึกแล้วว่าต้องโคจรมาเจอกันซักวันนึง 😁 I've watched many videos of Stuart Jay Raj's channel. He's the expert of many languages, he know Thai language better than the Thai native like me, that's crazy!. Glad to see you guys joined up in this video with uncommon interesting content, (kinda shame that you didn't recorded in that building😏). I'll look forward to see more both of you on the next episode, thanks.👍

[@rolfkarneman6564]

Wow! So far this years most inspiring clip, lovely to see these two giants to congregate!

[@blacksympozium]

Glad to see you both together again in a new interesting episode! 🔥🔥

[@Jasm1nstwixtors-du8fi]

2 years ago I forgot all of my Thai speaking after moving to the UK (I am half Thai) and now I am studying Thai everyday so I can speak the language again and I was really encouraged when I saw your channel 😁

[@honeyp8470]

Love this clip so much. Please collaborate with Jay Ray more ka. Paddy‘s face at the last part is so funny 😂.

[@Aaron-bu3mo]

You're the best! Thanks to both of you!

[@AlexandraChivers]

Another great watch Paddy!! It was so interesting to learn more about how big of a chinese culture hub there is in BKK. You and SJR are too good🫡

[@SirStephenSW5334]

That was very interesting. Thanks for the tour, Paddy and Jay.

[@marcp108]

What a great episode! Opened my eyes to so many things (no....I'm not getting a soapy massage anytime soon). What command of language JayRay has!

[@RekimNZ]

What an amazing video Paddy, get to see SJR (Who I follow too) with you, and SJR speaking multi languages ! - You guys rock !! - Thanks :)

[@revenuerecipes]

Great video guys really enjoyed it and super stoked to see the legends together

[@ThaiTalkwithPaddy]

wish you were there with us Dai

[@Tyler_Thailand]

The man, the myth, the legend! 😂 Stuart Jay Raj has always been a favorite of mine. Very knowledgeable on a country’s language and history. Because of Stu, I still tell people sawasdee khap comes from the Sanskrit word *swastika* I watch a lot of your videos but this might be the first time I’ve left a comment. Not sure how most KZbinrs like you two meet, but I’d love to get in the loop.

[@ThaiTalkwithPaddy]

Appreciate you leaving a comment! Thanks for watching. We usually meet after a fair few months of conversing online

[@Tyler_Thailand]

@@ThaiTalkwithPaddy gotcha. Is there a platform content creators use to talk on or is it just through KZbin comments? Appreciate the reply by the way 🤠🤙

[@joakimdahlstrom2532]

Jay Raj just have to found the logic in those languages and some what stitched them in his brain, amazing! Me and my wife randomly met one girl back in Sweden that, when I met and talked to her, had lived in sweden for around 8 monhs, her swedish were as fluent as if she were born here, on top of that spoke arabic, dutch, french and spanish as fluent. I am truely amazed by multilingual people and I wish I had more interest in languages back in school, as 52 years old I can get around in thailand and survive using only thai, but more deep discussions are out of the question still.

[@chrissakul-thongbai8238]

Very interesting. Good information and something new I learned about Bangkok. To be honest, after watching this video, I am rather apprehensive about visiting that area. The impression I got was that non-Chinese would not be welcomed there -even if you can speak Chinese. But thank you for showing us around. I'm genuinely surprised that you didn't know what อาบ อบ นวด was.😊

[@DGDG0000000]

the best video i saw on KZbin since very long time. i subscribe man.

[@jackmermigas9465]

Nice video! Miss Bangkok so much coming back soon. More videos with Stuart please!

[@klausg]

Great video,highlighting interesting aspects of Thailand.

[@Ahm.nae-fou]

You pair make a great double act 😅, that was interesting and educational, many thanks.

[@Vonsat]

Wow, Jay is amazing! He can even tell the difference between old and new Chinese characters. Interesting video, but it would be hilarious if the guys went right back to the Ab Ob Nuad after the video ended 😂

[@ng6983]

Thailand is my birth country that I left 51 years ago and have never been back but three times in total. It feels like a foreign country to me now. Without many of my old school friends there I will certainly get lost on my own and feel anxious there. I admire Mr. Polyglot because I can only manage Thai, English, and French.

[@ผู้บ่าวเฒ่า-บ9ฝ]

Thank you both. I'm a fan of both you guys.

[@edwardreuben6650]

Wow. This was an interesting side to Thailand. I really enjoyed it and Stuart really amazed me. Not only fluent but also able to read and tell us what the signs meant.😀

Can anyone recommend any interesting Thai channels with English subtitles like Paddy has? I feel like I'll pick up words quicker when I hear people talk in Thai. I think it'll supplement my learning.

[@haha-eg8fj]

It's a pity there's no good hotel nearby. I tried to find one in that area but it's hard to find. The Emerald seems very old stytle.

[@seekhearts]

Interesting that ‘ab-op-nuat’ is the same way that Japan operates its “soaplands” and the middle aged mindset of wives and husbands is pretty similar in each country. Although I think that is changing.

[@pollee9167]

There are many brothels hidden in Huay Kwang district 😎😎😎. In the time around 30 years ago.

[@thanaang1455]

I am amazed by how he can speak so many languages fluently

[@glenn9229]

great video and well done for including some detail that others might choose to leave out. It's a part of Thailand and deserves an airing. Interesting that the paranoia of the Chinese embassy didnt take long to kick in. Always good to see SJR pop up in a video although I can only guess what the poor noodle girl thought when she encountered him 555, All up a good look at a different area of Bangkok thats very different to the old Chinatown

[@allencoffland1685]

interesting customer service with the lady who wouldn't even look at Raj. i experienced something similar at a chinese-owned restaurant in Phuket when I asked about a room for rent

[@mikkohautala550]

Where are you now khun Paddy krungthep or back in lower north shore ? Bravo to คุณ เจ พูดได้ แล้วอ่าน ได้ด้วย ❤ Naughty you at Posiden อาบ อบ นวด what a shocka 😂 i live near Rachada at Ladprao ! 🎉

[@lukasgaming-7418]

please make more videos together🙏🙏🙏

[@maximumkillmtg]

อบ can also mean to steam. So อาบอบนวด actually translates to wash, steam, massage. Great video nonetheless!

[@nanjunli-o6g]

Those Chinese shop owners look not so friendly, because they don't work legally here. They don't even have a visa.

[@andrewdunbar828]

There's a huge new Chinatown in Vientiane too. A lot of it looks like it was new before the pandemic and went bad during it. Hard to know though since stuff declines so fast in the tropics, maintenance is typically poor, and I think there are a lot of investment/development scams. Restaurant prices there were even in Yuan. I get the weird reactions in Chinese shops in these kinds of areas. A lot of the time an employee follows me around to make sure I'm not shoplifting. I assume they do the same with all customers and not just westerners. Totally different in Malaysia. I wonder if the soapy massage thing came from Japanese "soaplands"? There used to be a lot more Japanese pop culture influence in southeast Asia. It's been subsiding and Korean pop culture has been rising for what 20 years? I don't sense much Chinese pop culture on the other hand, it's more expat stuff, which is a different phenomenon. Anyway a great video - thanks!

Question is, did you go back to the ApObNuat rights-of-passage after SJR left? haha!

You guys are chicken. You should've had a group session with 2 or perhaps 4 girls. These places have suites to accommodate such groups. Okay, you will need lots of baht for those sessions.

You are filming a lot of people in your video put freak out if someone is filming you? What a hypocrit!

[@RadicalPersonalFinance]

You missed the entire point of where they were.

[@wayne0316]

Look, if I was the alleged Chinese Embassy staffer, I would’ve answered Stu with “Did you ask the lady’s permission before filming inside her shop?” Maybe Stu can read this 己所不欲勿施于人. However Chinese or East Asians in general are just not that confrontational. I know Stu is not a filming in the street guy, but I’m sure Paddy you know very well that you don’t get many people asking questions like Stu did in the video. Despite saying he feels like a Thai and having spent 30 years in Thailand. I guess culturally he never will be.

[@japankobe100]

Filming a public area and filming a person speaking is not the same. You can see they didn't film the lady in the shop. The shop can tell them no filming and they wouldn't have any problems, just like the other places they visited and didn't film in the video. He asked them if they're filming, but he didn't say that they can't film him. Filming a person without asking when he can see you film him can be offensive and is just frankly being rude to that person. The act itself is confrontational! But i guess you may not get it culturely.

[@StuartJayRaj]

that could be a never ending 施于人loop depending how far you go back 😂 Mainland embassy types take very broad liberties surveilling and even intimidating not only Chinese but other foreign nationals outside of China - seldom especially here will they be called on it

[@wayne0316]

@@StuartJayRaj Never expected the reply. But glad you pointed out the loop theory. But let’s be honest, how long it’s been since China or Chinese is at the wrong end of bad press by western media. My point is the alleged staffer didn’t even admit that he was filming you. But you chose to make an alleged incident public with no way of proving anything, without giving any benefit of doubt, is just not fair. And that’s exactly why we have come to where we are now that is there’s no trust between the Chinese government and any western media alikes. Your action of letting this go public justified the alleged action by an alleged Chinese embassy staffer who you were never sure or other else can prove. I like your language contents very much by the way and I’m a long time subscriber and continue will be.

These kind of massage parlours are very dark places. Even if a majority of the women might be there by their own choice, many of them have background of poverty or had to escape the war from Myanmar. For sure it's a poor choice to go into prostitution and it does a lot of long-term damage to their bodies and souls. In times of tinder and bumble there's not much need to support this kind of sex trade in my opinion. Other than that- good to see you guys together in one video again!
