You MAY NOT do these things in THAILAND

[@skidmark4447]

That's the way it should be, rest o the World going tit's up. In your own Country, You should be Priority.

[@alphaomegadaily]

I agree with you!

[@ubiquitousdiabolus]

A country should give priority to its citizens, something many Western countries no longer do.

[@alphaomegadaily]

I agree

[@josephbarrett4938]

So simple but so true

[@AntidOto-fp8dr]

In Western countries you can get unemployment benefits, often consifederable sums. The problem some would argue is that Western Europeans have too many unions and their labor is valued too high. After all if I start a business I do it in order to make money for myself, not to have you employed because you are a local, that is why the shipyards of Italy are full of Indians and the farms of Scotland full of Romanians. If you do not want immigrants coming to a country you might just ask tomorrow for lower wages and more working hours. This also happens to a certain extent here in Thailand, with laotians, burmese and cambodian workers. Immigration is not determined by the imaginary desire of this, or that government to replace its citizens, it s about increasing profits at the expense of wages.

I like the way Thais look after their own.

[@informative_wanderlust]

They don't, they are like most capitalist societies, they look after a tiny elite, while everyone else either suffers or gets by. The pension in Thailand is pitiful, which is why you see so many people in their 80s still working. This whole notion that Thais are benevolent and morally clean is utter nonsense. Anyone with half a grain of realism and has lived in Thailand for at least a year knows this.

[@Trevo-z5c]

I could not see a westerner putting in a 10 hr shift in that heat , guaranteed he would not show up the next day

[@trickolas78]

The cat pulling the chair was adorable ❤

[@livinginthailandantiquesmi1136]

But many cambodians, Myanmar and South Asian people work in Thailand.

[@fdre3wsd]

Almost all of them may not sit around all day watching editing youtube videos because they have to work to survive, no one's gonna help them or they'll die

[@bijanbayne3259]

No Westerner would want to work as a security guard, 7-11 girl (or boy), motorbike taxi driver, or street food vendor in Thailand. Or a Grab/Shopee/Food Panda/LINE delivery person. 12,000 THB a month. This is their, never colonized, country.

[@alphaomegadaily]

You're right, most Westerners don't.

Thank you for content

[@alphaomegadaily]

Glad you liked it!

[@athitaya6898]

Excellent one of your best I really enjoyed that.

[@alphaomegadaily]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Nordic_Sky]

I told my gf if would be funny as heck to be a farang motosai taxi driver in an orange vest. She said if you did it, you would be famous on Thai social media. Lol!

[@ncascadehiker]

In the US companies are incentivized to hire brand new immigrants (from Africa, Brazil, Asia, etc.) over the descendants of the 1650 - 1850 American immigrants. What an idiotic phase America is in now.

[@ncascadehiker]

Dave, these street scenes are marvelous. Why don’t you make more videos like this? Life is so raw there.

[@eddie8pints804]

What do you think would happen to the Thais if the government let foreigners take their jobs? It would be a disaster. Thailand is a caring society, most large companies hire more workers than that are required, like a shop has more workers than customers. Maybe they get tax breaks etc.. they pay low salaries but hire a lot to keep unemployment low and food in people's mouths. Most Thai's earn just enough to live with the basics, they know jobs are plentiful, so they are stress free and live in the now rather than thinking about the future.

[@mtsutphin3468]

They hire a lot because only half of them will typically show up to work.

[@dolphinvlogs2831]

It always amazes me when you visit homepro. Every isle has about 5 staff on it, compared with b and q in the uk where you have to play hide and seek with the staff. I much prefer the homepro approach

[@SR-rm6em]

Dave, what I'm interested in is what kind of camera and gimbal are you using? And do you say your commentary on the video on or off? Best wishes from Hamburg from Sven.

[@kesw4261]

@ 7:38...the sign asks you to not park vehicles and block the entrance. Nothing about selling the shop.

[@athitaya6898]

Karuna yaa jot rot Kwang tang kao ork boriwen née. Please no parking in front of the entrance.

[@alphaomegadaily]

Thank you!

[@toonwouters4632]

Protecting your own people is xenophobic?

[@SR-rm6em]

I envy you Dave😓 You have the best weather now and a bright blue sky... wonderful. It's getting cold and dark here in Hamburg, Germany. It's raining a lot at the moment. But I won't leave any room for depression 😁. I like your positive attitude to life and pretty women. That's how you stay young.

[@dolphinvlogs2831]

Spot on about the line & grab men. I know a female taxi driver in bangsaen. She cannot operate out of bkk or pattaya. She personally told me the taxi mafia would seek her out and prevent her from working again. So as for a farang ever becoming a motor bike taxi driver they'd be sussed within minutes.

[@CHEERS_FEEL]

Using the word xenophobic is incorrect here. The appropriate term is protectionist, especially because we're viewing jobs through the lens of citizenry, as oppose to race. Personally, I commend the Thais for keeping Thailand for Thai people. It's also reasonable to allow a small trickle of foreigners who CAN fill that specialized skill gaps that cannot be filled by the local population. I think it's absurd that people would want to work in Thailand earning Thai Baht over any Western currency; especially menial jobs.

[@Nordic_Sky]

Good catch. Protectionist is the right word.

[@athitaya6898]

ซื้อกับข้าว. That’s what she told you at 4 minutes. They cook the rice at home and just buy the dish from the market. Literally buy with rice.

[@fazbell]

Most of these jobs are the most miserable jobs imaginable. You can teach English or deep sea diving, Beyond that, not much you can do. I came here to retire. I don't WANT to work.

[@ubiquitousdiabolus]

True, you can do a lot of things that require special skills, but you can't work for 350 baht a day.

[@yt61tt]

You cannot boom boom working ladies either because it is illegal

[@davis9877]

TH has many annoyances, BUT at the ned of the day that's a best thing about TH that it is nothing like west.

[@Jehovah-r8f]

Thailand is attractive because it's Poors..

[@basvanlaarhoven3636]

❤❤❤❤❤❤ great video my friend how are you

[@jimmyboysmovies1972]

How many westerners would work those jobs in the heat or for that amount of money ? Even others from different continents would ? . It’s a way of making sure Thai people have jobs 1st and nothing wrong with that. Plus you know this before you go there so it’s not hidden away from people

[@shanef8728]

who would want all those poorly paid jobs anyway? A year to my redundancy and finishing work permanently , thank fuck. to never work again

[@tradeladder146]

Getting A Work Permit as a Farang is nigh impossible, so you couldnt work anyway.

[@athitaya6898]

😂😂😂😂😂 who told you that?

[@user-vt1ix6tn8f]

What can a foreign do in Thailand for work? I know foreigners can visit and sightsee and all that but if one wanted a job.

[@athitaya6898]

Oil & gas, banking, computing, IT, Engineering. What skills do you have?

[@mikimoto99]

Teaching English is popular. You can also open a business with a Thai share holder 49/51%.

[@jasontietnan5447]

Ireland could learn a lot from Thailand

[@matthewdyer4752]

Where was this filmed?

[@alphaomegadaily]

Huai Khwang market and Sutthisan Market in Bangkok

[@matthewdyer4752]

@alphaomegadaily it looked familiar.

[@singas2854]

Who cares if I can’t do the jobs you mentioned Honestly I wouldn’t even want to do those crap jobs 😂😂😂😂

[@bobwelo]

[@Snortflakes]

Xenophobia isn't a disease, it's a fault.

[@Steven-t9s]

I'm wondering if they have Thai vloggers and what they've got to say about Felang.

[@hom_di]

Don't see anything wrong with this, quite the opposite, it's Thai-land, it's for the Thais first and others after (and yes, I live here)

[@jasonwaugh9036]

Best way to live

[@kieran9349]

What!? A country that cares about retaining the fabric of their society and culture? How dare they lol

[@mtsutphin3468]

We don’t really want these jobs anyway 😅

You called a songtaew a tuk tuk??

[@williamwhite3405]

I always wanted to be a barber in Thailand but can’t because I’m not Thai

[@smileoften-ft3hq]

​@@williamwhite3405love the idea although I see very few foreign with styled hair ... shaved heads or very short no styling.

My grandmother used to stew chicken feet in her tomato pasta sauce. We fought over them as kids.

[@johnfoose4883]

Why do u make everything so simple into a complicated pile of buffalo dung?

[@Black-Circle]

You can't be a Thai citizen either, technically possible but good luck 555

[@gerardpalmer4185]
