😂😂😂 @ 10:20 mark, lol. He was SERIOUS!
Dude was NOT having it 😂
what was that even about. Was there trash dropped?
I couldn't even catch what was said.
@@tritchie6272 "Pick up some trash when you get here" That's one sentence edited from a 5 minute rant. Dude was a character to say the least haha
nicely constructed and presented. Wherever you travel or choose to live...be respectful of local culture, learn, be tolerant and....if you start complaining too much.....go home!
What I took from this video is. When in doubt be modest and respectful. I'm going to Thailand for the first time next month for the month of February.
Yup that's the best way to do it! There are only a few things you might not realize you're doing, but besides that common courtesy goes a long way. Thanks for watching!
I still remember a long time ago when they arrested the entire pattaya expat bridge club. No one could convince the police that bridge isn't gambling.
DUI's are common in Thailand. They put check stations in random places. They do allow you to pull over to sleep before going through it though.
Take a sober up nap before causing a accident. In america you cant even sleep drunk in your car even if parked where you got drunk. Forced to drive home. Less risk getting caught driving then sleeping where get noticed by every cop
The one thing that all have in common. RESPECT!
Good job on the video
Yes! Thank you!
I always thought of the prohibition against the Buddha statues as a circular economy. They can sell you the statue, you can't buy it. Statue gets confiscated at customs. Seller buys Buddha statue from customs clearing warehouse. Seller sells Buddha statue to tourist for grossly inflated price. Statue gets confiscated etc. etc. etc.
I bought a nodding Buddha in vietnam Airport.
Brought it as a gift for my friend and she still has it nodding away in her front garden
It's not illegal to drink in public, period. But it is a NO No to openly drink beer/alcohol in temple, school and govt office. It's a social taboo. Though the police might not arrest you, you'll be frowned upon and unwelcome. It's considered boorish and downright rude.
So many places to drink. Bars, clubs, home and family gatherings at parks. Not sure who would drink in those places you said
It actually is illegal to have open liquor while walking around. It's called IP or Illegal Possession
yes..... a big difference between being legal and being socially unacceptable. Another comment on public drinking overseas, is that if you are a pain in the arse to police (or others) while drinking in public, even if it's legal, the local police will find a legal reason to take you away for a while!!!! So; don't be a dick.....
Walking around in public (any country) with an open container displays a high level of complacency. Predators, to include law enforcement, are going to notice. You might as well paint a target on your back. You are signaling that your reaction time, ability to accurately access your surroundings, and ability to respond appropriately are impaired.
I remember back in the early 90s when wearing camouflage in public was a big no no in Thailand.
It still is grounds for immediate arrest in Barbados.
I’m from ky I’ve never heard of the bathing on a Wednesday that’s wild😂
One of those wild laws that hit the books in like 1790 and never ended up getting taken off, but of course they don't enforce them haha Thanks for watching!
Enjoy watching. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Went to Bangkok Harley as I ride and collect random t-shirts and poker chips. The HD dealership cannot sell "collectable" poker chips, solely because they represent a gambling devise. Kinda sucked, but their country, their rules.
It's also illegal to spit on the sidewalk.
Congrats on your Subs! 10 Grand milestone. Keep up the Great Content. All the Best...👍
Thanks Dan!
Defacing money is also not legal here in the US.
Well… it’s an unenforceable law in the US, but it is law. You could be arrested by an over-zealous cop, but no judge is going to entertain the case.
Universal rule everywhere in the world is just behave. I know that there are some strange rules in some places but pointing out things like don't urinate, throw out your garbage or insult locals, their values or royal family only shows the mental state of modern society. BTW the playing cards carrying limit is pretty fun
The stepping on coins would totally get me in trouble, i drop coins all the time and my go to move is always the foot, because it is the fastest way to stop coins.
no under wear is best law!! the bar's get raided by cop's at a bar, you get drug tested , you fail, you in trouble
Little known fact, It's also illegal to wear sunscreen on the beach in Thailand.
U lying
@@ImagineOnwardcheck it out, it's because t they don't want to poison the coral and fish.
It's only sun block with a certain chemical in it.
More great content Bro !
Appreciate it!
If you buy dart board you have get permission from the local police.
in the US some guy years ago, went to jail for farting in front of the police.
Great video!!!
Glad you liked it!
Good information in this video!
Glad you think so!
I reside in Panama. It probably won't be too much of a climate shock.
Nice work dude
Thanks!
It is also illegal to deface currency in the US. According to 18 U.S. Code § 331....
Whoever fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates, impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the mints of the United States, or any foreign coins which are by law made current or are in actual use or circulation as money within the United States; or
Whoever fraudulently possesses, passes, utters, publishes, or sells, or attempts to pass, utter, publish, or sell, or brings into the United States, any such coin, knowing the same to be altered, defaced, mutilated, impaired, diminished, falsified, scaled, or lightened-
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
So it's illegal here to and if your caught you could face up to 5 years in prison.
Where can buy Thai jersey I need one before I go home
I got mine at the Pattaya Night bazaar
Every country has "strange laws". Thailand is no different. The really strange thing is the lack of enforcement. Police are seldom seen in Public unless at a checkpoint to fine people for minor infractions.
I shower twice a day, everyday. I suppose that in the state of Kentucky, they'd put me away.
ohhh , you're a felon then. Imagine getting sentenced for 6 months jail and the other guys ask you what are you here for... "well I had a wash last Wednesday. My mom must have narked on me....".. that would be so embarrassing, in amongst the murderers, drug dealers etc.....
The feet head thing doesn't come from buddhist teachings it is a thai thing that they attached to Buddhism, in reality there is no such dharma. The money thing is don't put your foot on money to stop it blowing away if you drop it because it has the kings head printed on it...again a thai thing. The rule about Buddha images is about antiques only leaving the country.. When I arrived here over 30 yrs ago it was rude to show tattoos so we all wore long sleeve shirts.
I heard of another thing that you’re not allowed to do is help a bar girl rack the balls on your pool table ? It’s their job so you’re not allowed.
I don't think this is exactly a "rule." They just like to do it because yes it's a part of their job. Cheers, thanks for watching!
How do you play pool without betting?
@@ronv6637 Loser pays for the winner next beer for a fun game
Thumbs up 👍 Tempus
Thanks for the visit!
About the public drinking,don't stagger around drunk or missbehave. Thus being a forreigner not knowing.
You forgot one.
I think e-cigaretts are illegal.
You seem like a nice guy. Subscribed.
Love your incisors
Please tell me they real!
Yes, they are real... haha
7:37 I am digging that old man’s shorts 😂 What a stud!!! Man I love places like Thailand and the Philippines because no matter how old you are, you are always in the game !
O-Gaud! I HAD a Thai g/f, until she saw a "Happy Buddha" in my Bathroom... She freaked on me. I learned that it was Extremely Insulting to Buddha. I never saw her again... Sheesh!
Judging by all the videos I have seen.... there are NO traffic law though right ? 🤣
They are more a, suggestion I think haha
Love the fact that lanes seems to be a suggestion. I see daily cars cruising between lanes and even my father in law who worked as a police all his life hasn't grasped the concept of lanes fully.
Sex toys are illegal in Thailand. I have seen them on sale in Sukhuvit stalls but they are prohibited to own🙄
Thanks!
Thank YOU Scott!
Great one dude 'if you wouldn't do it to your mom don't do it to your King'
2:28, This is actually a Fair Law if you consider it. Since women cant walk around Topless, why should men be allowed to be.
At the four: 06 mark the fellow was just standing there with no shoulder on and his shirt was completely gone is that illegal?
👍
Please stay in Thailand please
You said we can’t fly our country’s flag there, but will I get in trouble if I wear my USA FIFA World Cup Soccer Jersey there?
I don't see that being an issue you see all kinds of jerseys here. And with the flag thing in not sure if it's really a big deal or not, but I'd avoid it just to be safe personally. Thanks for watching! 🙏
@@tempustv thanks for the info
I wish they would enforce littering esp cigarette butts here in the USA.
does the playing card law states all playing cards or only the poker type ones ? what about pokemon/magic/yu-gi-oh cards ? this could be the reason for the 120 limit i would guess
Stirctly playing/poker cards from my understand! Thanks for watching!
It's only if you're gambling.
You got swag and flow. Great stuff- your B-Roll needs to match more of your energy though - Good luck 🙏🏼
😉👍👍👍
i am curious how they would respond to a personal flag?
It's illegal to deface U.S. Money as well.
but not illegal in Thailand; or if it is, no one gives a sh--. Could be a problem back in USA though
Do they get testy about double 12 Dominoes?
With some of the worst prisons in the world,
I would think that the crime rate would be zero.
And yet, the prison system is full.
You would think so, but a lot of people still manage to end up there. I think because Thailand is so relaxed about a lot of things compared to the West that people end up thinking they are relaxed about EVERYTHING which is just not true... Thanks for watching!
The legal system is slow and the sentences are long if you don't have money
I have seen the American Flag flown at various food stands. And don‘t get me started about littering. I see more trash littering here than any other country I have been in.
Hahaha that's funny
How about if you are in a taxi that gets involved in an accident? A friend had this happen and he had to pay for all the repairs of the taxi. the logic is that if he had not hired the taxi it would not have been ib an accident,therefore it was his fault.
If that's true that's WILD. I have a hard time believing that tbh... haha
Sounds like someone got ripped off.
That is not Thai law!
Yeah I call bullshit on that. I was in a taxi that was involved in an accident, and I didn't even have to pay for the fare. The drivers of both vehicles were very apologetic.
So you won't lose your shirt gambling!! womp womp lol
Hahaha shouldn't be an issue no
😎👍🇺🇲
defacing money is a crime in the USA as well actually.
It's illegal to drive without a shirt or shoes in Pennsylvania.
The modesty law is why it's easy to recognize a ladyboy. As long as they have some sort of covering on, it's legal, but a woman has to be extra careful not to show the nipple. Banning commando makes sure a ladyboy is not flashing anyone and for tourists, your junk isn't falling out whilst riding a bike. You can also be fined for excessive kissing in public. You'll notice that Thais don't kiss or hold hands unless they are somewhere more private or its holding a childs hand. And never touch a Thai of any age on their head. And back to the modesty law, absolutely no swimwear is worn off the beach, especially bikini tops- most thesis will still wear a t-shirt over their bikini top because of the modesty laws
Since 1996.
All I know is that I wouldn't spend any money nor waste my time flying for 15 to 18 hours on a plane to get to a place with ugly yellow sand. It would ruin my vacation completely. Koh Samui will be fine and a few other places in Thailand. Are there any white sandy beaches anywhere in Phuket?
Plentttttty of beach options when it comes to Thailand haha
So no card=based magic tricks allowed?
Haha nope! Guess your're gonna have to find a new way to get the chicks Jim! 😂
Maybe you could serve your sentence in Canada
Regarding the money and the King`s image. DO NOT toss Thai coins for heads or tails.
Mexicans and Puerto Ricans be aware.
Also, I’m pretty sure Thailand has the death penalty for drugs so that’s a thing
How about UNO cards? Can you play that there?
I've never seen them anywhere haha
The girls in the thumbnail shouldn't be illegal, perhaps just come with a warning label.
What if your flag/money is your underwear?
conversation heard in prison......."hey buddy what're you in for................. murder? robbery?" no .......for not wearing underwear..............
Two jokers, 54 cards. Still only 108.
Someone may correct me
You are not right on a few things but that can be forgiven,you are new here.Always annoys me just a little when some one who knows nothing is telling other people what it is all about.Pattaya is not really Thailand you know.
If you'd like to take some time to watch some more videos. I have mentioned many a time that Pattaya is far from the full Thailand experience. God bless!
At some point any and every sane person, hear's, is informed, etc. etc. etc. an old phrase which goes; "When in Rome, do as the Roman's do". American's though generally take it as just an old phrase and don't remember or just don't know or sometime care. That every country in the world has their own set's of rules, regualion's and local, state and other such term's law's that are mandated to be followed to the N-th degree or their will be ramification's. And no where in the world is there in any court, ignorance of any rule, regulation or law, regardless of what it is, is "NO EXCUSE". A fact that though should be taken litterally, American's generally don't. Though every country in the world have the same ideaology of what "INALIENABLE RIGHT'S" are. They really only apply to citizen's of the country your presently at. American's are allowed to practice their version of "INALIENABLE RIGHT'S" are in America. But because they are simular but can be as different as day is to night. Are mandated to be followed to the "T" in the country your at, not the one your from.
I don't think its just Americans that act stupid in other Countries. I suspect its a people thing. I will admit however that if you go to another Country you better think long and hard and decide are you willing to pay the Price before breaking their laws. From what little bit I've seen online it seems like some Countries can and will get pretty rough if you break their laws.
Don't crumple up a bill into a ball. It is almost as disrespectful as stepping on one.
Also, Wear your damn helmet. They will fine your ass to the wall for not wearing one.
But a hamburger is made of pork....😅
Feet are ugly so they make a law with that basis?
You can't own 100% of a home there.
wish it was illegal to fly any other flag in US then a American flag
love from dubai anyway i can contact u
Been in Thailand over 10 years and what this young man has said in his Vlog is true, And never touch the Head of any Thai and No Shoes to be worn inside a house .
