VIEWERS TRUE STORIES FROM BANGKOK, THAILAND - VOL 216

[@ivornappinion9406]

10/10 for that guy,he is now a MEMBER of the been there done that CLUB . I wish him all the best and got nothing to be embarrassed about. Plenty of fun now to be had if you're holding some folding :)

[@Countrymouse123]

Now that's a good dad

[@KF-cx8bm]

One of my favourite ever Saturday Stories selection, different to usual. I'm so pleased that the young man saw the potential and possibilities of life after his first trip to Thialand

[@taxitoloei2055]

Terrific story about the father and his son. One of the best I’ve heard on here. Wish I had done the same thing at 16!

[@antonkarridian2895]

The 2nd story gives me hope. It always carries more weight when I experience generosity and/or friendliness from strangers who, comparatively, have much less than me. While there are many friendly people in my home country, too often the first instinct is to just watch, look away or even be rude.

[@joyousroamer9167]

Loved the first story, very heartwarming.

[@ThailandBound]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mikestellar5819]

Thanks!

[@ThailandBound]

Thank you for the super chat. That’s very generous of you and I sincerely appreciate it.

[@grimacemcdonald1]

Ive been going back and watching all your stories for the last two years and now I’m up to date. I haven’t done the bar thing in Thailand but I still find them fascinating

[@gitenkh]

You should...you must...worth the experience.. good or bad

[@frankythehousecat2681]

Don't ring the bar bell, as if do will be an expensive mistake, will have to buy everyone in the bar a drink !

[@ian-wu2bb]

First story is classic . Thank god we saved him from from the Bangkok flyers club . Yes I was burned too once . Great channel and great advice .

[@ericpowell4350]

That story about the father and son put a knot in my throat. I'm so happy they were able to bond.

[@JE-gy4ew]

To anyone thinking about coming to Bangkok with kids, there are amusement parks here. Two with roller coasters and stuff, one safari park and one small water park. There are also Madame Tussauds and Sea Life. In Pattaya area there are two large water parks as well. So don’t think there aren’t anything like that for kids around here. If you buy your tickets to these venues in advance on sites like Klook or Trip you get them much much cheaper than if you pay at the door.

[@michael-lt2lf]

Very pleased for the Taxi driver from last week. Like everyone else I thought 'what a gullible mug!' But it could happen to anyone. Going over early Oct. myself, staying for a month in Pattaya, and yes, it's my first time! If he reads this then I wish him well and hope things turn out better for him this time..

[@simonnz7193]

Some comments say she had to be a working girl, many forget that generally young people are attracted to young people. At the end of the day if some facts were not divulged, nevertheless things worked out well. The lad had a different positive outlook, an extra stride in his step and some very good stories for his new class mates. Thanks Peter, a different story that .gives you pause for thought.

[@sodapopcurtis7396]

a dad taking his son out and showing him the ropes...good on em

[@petergorm]

It's not a real saturday anymore, before I've listened to Peter and the great stories. So far I have enjoied every single one of them, since three years back, I think. Love your channel, Peter! Thank you.

[@ThailandBound]

Not criticizing just saying 4 years actually

[@petergorm]

@@ThailandBound Hi Peter. What I meant was that I started following your channel arround early 2020.(Covid BS). And I have listened to ALL your weekly uploads after from before ; ) Enjoied every single one of them! So thanks to all the people writing you. Allright, I could keep going on. Sooner or later you get a story from me. Cheers, and keep it up, Peter!

[@GetOhn]

Thailand changed my life in a big way during my early 20s too. What it did was show me that beautiful women are abundant and that probably saved me from ending up chasing and settling down with a horribly entitled woman from the West. I feel fortunate to now be approaching 40 without having had a divorce or miserable marriage under my belt 😅 If more men had an "abundance mentally" rather than putting up with really horrible treatment from females, maybe society would be a bit better 🤔 Just my 2 cents.

[@markillingworth4836]

Absolutely agree. I wish I had done the same as you. Didn't go to Thailand until I was 48 and have a bitter British ex.

[@rollingtinfist]

Great set of stories. Regarding the dad, he was fortunate. I kept thinking about all the ways it could have gone south, especially leaving his son solo as a first timer. I’m glad the taxi driver made out okay. Everyone has a first time. Thank you as always.

[@nomadsland4600]

Thanks Peter for your stories and hard work...

[@ThailandBound]

Glad you like them!

Love these stories Pete...keep going. I have never been to Thailand..but with all these stores i am there with you...thanks!

[@ThailandBound]

Glad you like them!

[@d.bcooper7819]

Peter please let the dad know I’m available for adoption. I’m 56, I spend lots of time watching a KZbin channel about other people’s experiences in Thailand, and I think a trip to Bangkok would do me a world of good. Seriously though, that was an epic plan to get his son inspired.

That was a good story about the father and son. Nice of the father to make things better for his son despite the cost.

[@wayneritchey1455]

Hi Peter handsome man great stories my favorite one was the first story I remember when I was young and had my first girl it was a great feeling have a great day today and night to you

[@danitzm]

If I was the dad in the first story I would be worried about a bunch of things. Especially, A message after we return to California that the girl is pregnant.

[@steveturner4430]

I really enjoyed listening to them great stories as usual

[@ThailandBound]

[@mikeh8786]

Hi Peter. Just listened to these stories early on my Sunday morning. These were really interesting, great to listen about these different experiences - lots more goes on than bar scamming !! I wonder how the young lad (lucky bugger) will get on long term regarding Thailand? Great upload, cheers 🍻

[@onlyme2030]

Number 1, if you are watching be careful, legitimate massage lady tells me you’ve not learnt as much as you think! Number 2 - what a great father!

' legitimate massage lady'. It's ok because she explained to him how she'd loose her licence were she to rip off a client LOL

Way to go sir. Realized your mistake and corrected yourself.

[@porkscratchings5428]

Good for the lad n the first story, glad the kid had a nice life changing experience. The second story I laughed when he mentioned the dance show with buffet.. I went there with my Rd missus who’s too polite as she couldn’t get near the buffet because of the Chinese and Korean tourists swamping it lol. The show nearly nearly knocked me out with the flashing lights. Fun times lol. Great stories! 👍🍻

[@guitarguruone1]

I have been to Siem Reap twice. Loved the story. The Khmer people are as your story depicts.

Welll done and nice stories again Pete. Looking forward to your report from Siem Reap also. I have been to Siem Reap back in 93, I was so tired flying from Battembang via Siem Reap to Phnom Phen (via a helo) where we had four hours to kill that I couldn't get to see any of the town or Angkor Wat but just lay against my pack and slept, really regret that now 😞

[@nornill6885]

Great stories this week!

[@gobfranklin6759]

Appreciate the stories!

[@tomasarndt8139]

Angkor Wat is definitely a must see. You will enjoy your journey and include a visit to the lake Tonle Sap

[@SoybooCow]

All great stories, PH. Story One: I know exactly the conversation between teenager and Thai lady on the street... Freelancer: 'Hey handsome man! Where you go? What your name? How long you stay? You want boom boom?' Horny teenager: 'YES please!'😀 I was introverted as a teenager. Having a father willing to pay for my own studio and a month's mongering for me would've been a dream come true!🤣🤣🤣

[@ThailandBound]

They could have liked each other as well.

[@SoybooCow]

@@ThailandBound It's a possibility, but we all know that would be a one in a million chance? If she didn't ask for any financial incentive, he should have married her on the spot!😀 As you said PH, son going back to condo with her, as Dad, I'd be thinking what valuables have not been put in the safe!😳

1 story - Peter I thought what you though 😂 I would have been nervous on the situation Im just happy everything turned out good i wouldn't mine doing that with my son❤

[@areyouexp4]

story 1 - i also brought my own 19 yr old son to thailand in 2019 - it was his ideal - we got separate hotel rooms 5555 -bangkok ( soi cowboy / nana plaza and khao san road ) and pattaya - he and i had the time of our lives and i still go every year having caught the " bug "

At least the old fool recognizes he's an old fool after his escapades. Sounds like he's learned his lesson.

[@genuinecomments4008]

The girls voice on the intro is she saying “Dirty cow”

[@ThailandBound]

Hello welcome

[@sterling557]

"Sawaa Dee kaa" - basically means "Hello & Welcome" Sawaa = Hello, Dee = Good, kaa = (politeness, female to a male) "Why do Thai always say Ka? Ka/krub (rhymes with ha/scrub) - This tiny little syllable is vital if you want to show respect and appreciation when you come to Thailand. If you're a female, you say “ka” and if you're a male, you say “krub”. It is basically the universal word for 'please' and 'thank you', and all politeness in general tied into one."

Poor taxi driver... 50s man meets 20s girl and think its true love. Common people imagine what the 23 year old girl had to do with this man.. Good story Peter but let's see who really got conned. Farangs are never victims, they are just stupid thinking love is bought.

[@af186]

Good story, but I must say; How about the worry of the kid contracting an STD, that seems to be the highest concern and potential true life changing event, no?, specially if the kid was so inexperienced as described by his father or did Dad also include that nugget in the briefing he provided before the trip? Oh, wait , STDs only happens to others!

I would say that this is something that doesn’t have to be explained, because most sensible people would protect themselves. Which I’m sure his father would have briefed him on
