Things NOBODY Told Me About Thailand!

here's 10 shocking things about living in Thailand that nobody ever tells you until you spend some time here tell me if you guys agree or disagree as you can see right here people use Vehicles scooters trucks for a lot of uses that would not be allowed in the West for example carrying a bunch of people in a trunk carrying a gigantic bamboo playground Treehouse a scooter carrying a refrigerator basically I call this the scooter Transportation development the the less development of place is the more you can carry on a scooter so just like in Bangkok you may have certain limitations in Cambodia I saw even crazier stuff and uh yeah that's scooter development theory number one point number two it is an interesting phenomenon to be out in public and you see any sort of beautiful woman and you're kind of just like thinking she's kind of tall is that a man and then uh it's it's just a fascinating thing because in other countries I think a lot of guys are not able to pull it off but in Thailand I think obviously it's a stereotype that you see on the internet but yes a lot of them they are able to pull it off and it does raise some questions in your mind and uh there's a lot of theories on how you could tell whether it's through elbows or bone structures or hand size or jawline but I'll tell you this you know what is the biggest Telltale sign if they look back at you in a flirtatious way that's probably a guy listen guys we just making guesses here but one two and three I'm kind of thinking number two she's smiling back at me looking revealing I don't trust it Point number three when you tell people that you're living in Thailand everybody's going to want to talk to you about the freshness of the Coconuts the ripeness of the mangoes but the two fruits that they never talk to you about are the avocados and the red guavas I'm telling you guys something about the Thai avocados and the Thai red guavas is on another level oh yeah the puket pineapples too C here we go listen guys no matter where you are in Bangkok occasionally you will see cars going the wrong wrong direction uh whether it's a motorbike or a car it's called yonan and even if you beat two lanes of traffic sometimes there's a third invisible Lane of motorbikes uh so make sure you watch out for that too just cuz you cleared the two lanes of cars doesn't mean there's not a third lane of motorbikes but it's invisible as you see behind me there's two lines of car traffic but there's an invisible line of motor scooter traffic coming that's actually jutting into the opposite side Yan son yanan it is very interesting to see white people travel from all across the globe halfway across the globe completely across the globe come to Thailand in order pad thae and pineapple fried rice that would be the equivalent of somebody from here or Asia flying all the way to America or the Western World asking for chicken fried steak but it happens but listen guys I actually think they have a pretty good excuse they're not Asian when I see asian-americans do that I'm like ah shame on you buddy I'm food Shaman food Choice Shaman next up guys the hype around mu ping skewers is never going anywhere but mudang is becoming less and less popular at his peak of popularity mudang was doing over 100,000 unique searches a month on Google SEO lately it's been only around 25,000 still cute though number seven taii people generally really like it if you're fluent in English and you speak English with them check this out hi all right see you later oh you too Point number eight relative to the average person's salary here in Bangkok the BTS is actually relatively expensive anywhere from like 20 to like 55 bought for a ride that is just a gigantic portion of some people's salaries so actually a lot of lower income people are going to opt to take other things like for example uh trucks that have been converted into tkes or the 70 you know the buses from the 1970s that are only about eight bot to ride uh hopefully in the future they'll figure out a way to make this more accessible to different tiers of the socioeconomic Spectrum but for now it's going to be for middle class office workers and up the BTS number nine I think the tie design especially interior design some of the exterior design is really excellent and that's actually driven by the aesthetic culture of all the Buddhist temples if you take a look at all of these and this is not even one of the most famous this one I think is pretty good looking on its own but this one it's not there's so many temples from an ancient perspective that are so beautiful here in Thailand clearly somebody has been spending time thinking about aesthet Aesthetics placement visual spacing spacing for many many generations and you could see that transfer from the ancient days to the modern days number 10 Tai people love eating street food uh for example right here these are just actually uh student kid Centric snacks that are outside of a middle school but there's so many different ways to buy street food and actually even like bone noodles for like 50 bot is considered quite expensive for the majority of people so the the majority of people actually go to these like big Buffet trays where they like weigh it out for you uh just pop up some photos right here uh we're going to try to find it if we can around here but I don't know if there's that much of that style in echi number 11 as you can tell by the amount of people wearing masks behind me there is a ton of pollution I don't know what the aqi the PM rating is right now but it's not very good however some people think that pollution looks kind of aesthetic in the more like rural areas I'll pop up some photos I guess it kind of looks like fog or like a cloud filter but yeah in the city it's pretty terrible for breathing and it looks bad too number 12 how do you just recognize the different distinct regions of Thailand's food for example this is a very famous authentic from changai northern spot and what you're going to notice is there's a lot of finger foods and there's a lot of dark stews because the food is a lot more Burmese influence myamar as you can see here we got a lot of food that yeah like if you're a Burmese person you might think this food was just burmes to be honest uh but by the way guys make sure you get the cow soy here uh if you're going to Ean you're going to see a lot of La influence stuff or maybe Cambodian influence stuff you know a lot of like clear soups but more like fish broth if you look at Central Thailand a lot of Chinese influence a lot of rice a lot of noodles in southern Thailand land more like Malaysian or Indian style but right now we we got to get some of this listen guys I'm sure these guys are cool but sometimes late at night you may get a drive driver or scooter driver that is on Yaba which is some form of like a uh nasty substance that you do not want your driver to be on here's a video of uh somebody's tie driver being on it [Music] and uh I'll just tell you this it's happened to me before 2: a.m. 3:00 a.m. my scooter driver is bugging out cenching his jaw you don't want that to happen these guys are cool though all right you guys that does it for my list of the 13 things that nobody ever told me about before I moved to Thailand let me know you agree disagree if you have to add any sort of uh supplementary complimentary material until next time guys I'm out peace
