Glad to hear this. I have been watching the channel Grounded Life Travel on Amtrak and Travel Asia with Allie, they are a biracial couple that travel mostly in Asia for their retirement. I just wanted to get other blacks views on Thailand.
have some tips for you. most of Thai ppl fear a failed communicate so u have to start to get in first and talk slowly word by word u will see this guy can understand or not then u could talk a bit faster. They have a welcoming heart dont hesitate to try new foods new friends u just have to start approaching first. try it!!! nothing bad happen.
As a thai I confirm that
@@e.monger8936 i agree ☕🗿
As a Thai, I absolutely agree. Thai people are very easy to handle. Talk to them slowly and have a low tone of voice with respect. Do not shout in any situation or show aggressive behavior. If you have any problem and need their help, try to speak slowly until they understand you. Thai people are not good at the English language, but they have good hearts and will help you without hesitation if they can understand what you want.
Absolutely right!
Money rules in Thailand
As a Thai, we never judge people from their skin colour or gender.
We just love you asa human being 🤟
I've never been there but I get that impression from everything "everyone" has ever said. Can't wait to visit.
Lol that’s not true. Try go to different provinces in Thailand. Some people still say the N word and shaming foreigners. Not all Thai tho. 😌
@@Kooshiee That happens in the USA 🇺🇸 lol so still worth a trip to Thailand being that massages are $7 as opposed to $70 on average lol 😆
As a Thai, I know most of people here will judge. Because we dont have so much diversify on different of races. Sometimes they my not intended to judge people. But I believe they will slowly change once they have interact with other race personally.
@@Kooshiee yeah but it’s the other N word, as in the Spanish word for Black, not other N word. Sure there’s casual racism in Thailand, but it’s mostly just about unfamiliar appearances, no malice behind it like Western racism. No Thai would want to harm black people just because of race.
ที่นี่คือเมืองไทย เราไม่สนหรอกว่าคุณจะขาวหรือดำ ทุกคนเท่าเทียมกัน ขอให้สนุกกับการเที่ยวเมืองไทยนะครับ ยินดีต้อนรับสู่ประเทศไทย🙏
The Thailand fruits and vegetables are sweets and natural than in western countries
I stay half the year in Thailand and I never felt unsafe without all the anger and people on edge as in the States. I have been all around Thailand from Bangkok to Udon Thani, Khon Kaen, Chaing Mai, Phuket, Koh Samui, Hua Hinn, and my second home Koh Chang. Like anywhere including the states, you have to use common sense like not being drunk after waving a bunch of baht at the beer bar. A smile goes a long way in Thailand, treat the people and their culture with respect and it will be returned
I saw a disturbing documentary recently on an island called Koh Tao, where many foreigners in recent years have died in mysterious deaths.
Is there any truth to the stories and are people concerned about it over there?
Loud and clear!!!
@@dbuck1964 There are many crimes/murders committed by tourists/westerners on that island and other places in Thailand. Unfortunately there are many criminals escaping their own countries and commit more crimes(among themselves/their business partners etc) over here.
I'm Thai and glad to hear that! We always welcome everyone to Thailand with no bias. Everyone are friends for us.
Friends who pass out money Friends..................
@@taalofaa you can do that to your ghetto friend!!!
@@DT-gs3wi ER< No I live primarily in the south pacific.
We have no Ghetto. I also actually have homes in 4 nations all occupied by readily available young girlfriends too.
Thailand if you have not noticed has many classic ghetto's chock full of Prostitutes of many varieties from bar girl hoes , street walkers, call girls,to massage girl sex workers. Liquor is consumed in the streets and hotels ,cheap rooms and fuck rooms easy and cheap.
Ghetto street food is also common from hot dogs to mystery meat sausages, bugs,worms,larvae even roaches. Thais eat rat as a cheap delicacy also but never let you know it is rat nor that Cat, even Dog is a menu item.
Mainly though Ghetto is in the heart so though you may remove or marry a thai hoe from a hoe house or wherever she in end still a hoe same same. P4P
Enjoy Thailand pass out money as able and keep your freedoms.
USA black women are horrible and many have followed you PP bro's setting up same tactics there to teach local thai women how to pimp,cock block and annoy men. Fun time will end very soon.
Look for big hanging asses and a mouth which is either eating or bitching.
Enjoy!
@@taalofaa oh please 🙄ghetto!!!!
Hi, I am from India, I am coming to Thailand after 2 weeks
Hello again. You know? There's a Thai youtuber's channel called "Up comment" did the translation of what you're saying about Thailand in this VDO and a lot of people expressed their sincere appreciation for you and we're thankful for your good attitude towards our country. We love you, bro.
Wow, you guys are so awesome!! ❤️😭
You're 100% correct on that. I lived in California and now Im staying in Philippines but I go to Thailand every year. I feel way safer living in Asia compared to the US.
Absolutely 💯
In Canada and u.s and UK and other European west countries you won't feel safe and confident they are many theft and drugs but Asia countries much safer than western countries
That goes without saying. I'm from Vegas and walking down the street at night is always dangerous. The only time I felt scared in Thailand is on public transportation. LOL!
Welcome to Thailand No matter where you come from, rich or poor, what your skin color is, we treat you as equals like your relatives. Have a nice trip Thailand always warms the heart.
Thai people believe in Buddhism. Buddhism encourages every Thai people to respect everyone who is human. And also teaches not to encroach on all kinds of animal life as well. So you don't worry while you travel in Thailand.
In Thailand we don't care whether you are white or black. be short or tall Thailand is free to live Only if you respect Thai rules. All Thai people think of you as a friend visiting their home.☺️
คนไทยถูกปลูกฝังจากบรรพบุรุษว่า"เมื่อมีแขกมาเยี่ยมเรา ต้องต้อนรับดูแลให้เขามีความสุขและประทับใจ ให้ความสำคัญต่อเขาเหมือนญาติพี่น้อง" เราขอให้คุณมีความสุขในการมาเยี่ยมเราในครั้งนี้ พวกเรามองคนเป็นมนุษย์คนหนึ่ง ไม่ว่าคุณจะมาจากไหน ผิวสีอะไร แม้แต่ LGBTQ+ ในประเทศนี้ก็ได้รับการต้อนรับ/เคารพและให้ความสำคัญเท่าๆกับคนทั่วไป....

Thais are being taught from generations to generations that "Whenever you have a guests, you treat like your bloodline brothers/sisters.", making them happy, making them impressed and feel special". We wish you have a great time visiting. We see everyone as a human beings not judging a person regardless to where you're from, what color your skin is. Even LGBTQ+ peoples are welcome and respected equally in this country. แปลให้แล้วครับ มาช้าหน่อย ขออภัยครับ
Im black and been to Thailand a couple times, Ive never felt any bad vibes from the Thai ppl, ive been welcomed just like any other person. I love the Thai ppl, such a kind ppl. They would go out of their way to make you feel comfortable in their country
You are wise to give yourself long periods of rest and "do-nothing" time. You're allowing your body to get used to a new part of the world, a new climate, new foods, new natural environment, time has shifted for you. And what's so wonderful is that you have absolutely NO pressure to knock yourself against the wall to have a decent place to stay and some food to eat. Also, you're in a safe environment for once in your known life, so your body and mind are in a state of prolonged relaxation after constantly living with real or implied "threats" and uncertainty. So glad you're having this great experience.
Hello, I'm Thai. I saw a clip where you talk about safety in Thailand. which I watched and liked very much And I would like to thank you for speaking positively about Thailand. That will boost the confidence of other travelers. who is about to travel to Thailand and that has a very positive effect on my country So I want to tell you that thank you very much. We Thais are very welcoming to good travelers like you. We hope you enjoy and have a great travel experience in Thailand. I have already subscribed to your channel. As a thank you and I wish your channel continued growth. Finally, I would like to say that all of us Thai people are glad that you like our Thailand. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart God bless you :)
Thank you!!
Indonesia is like incomparable to Thailand. Ppl in Indonesia are so friendly and great.
Hi, thank you for this VDO about Thailand. I am Thai but I am living abroad. I miss my country so much especially when seeing people on TH-cam talking about Thailand, traveling in Thailand. For the past 10years , Thailand has been changed in a better way. More progression especially public transport system. Thank you for spending times in Thailand and I hope you have a wonderful time there.
You spilled the facts! I am Thai living in America. I don't feel safe for my child or community as I felt back then. There are a lot of crazy people and non-common sense behaviors.
You are lucky to be abroad then never come back here to Thailand anymore. Good luck!!
ซึ่งด้วยเหตุผลใดที่ทำให้คุณและครอบครัวต้องอยู่ที่นั้น สู้ๆคะ ขอให้ทุกอย่างราบรื่น เป็นกำลังใจให้นะคะ พระคุ้มครอง 🙂
In USA Thai women are experienced as money collecting man pimps mainly because it is what they spend their time doing same as filipino.
USA is violent for everyone so being thai in USA means nothing,
There is no problem being in Thailand if you are black, white, or yellow. Thai people do not discriminate against foreigners except you have something wrong, such as a strong smell from the mouth or the body, or social misbehavior. Thai do not approach you and say get out of this country, foreigners, but this happened to me when I studied in the UK. New generation Thai, mostly younger Thai, can communicate in English as they are educated from international in Thailand.
Please don't get me wrong... I love your dark humor when mention about that idiot.
@@apollokujira Please explain more about dark humor.
Please note that I was on the phone, I forgot to mentioned about the comment earlier, it quite ironic that Scottish people apologize on behalf of British...
They may not discriminate but they treat White people more favourably.
@@stanbily9416 I do not know why this thing has happened for 30 years. Thai like foreigners especially white. For blcck such as Malaysia, AFrican,, Indian, it is noting wrong with them but smell. Thai people cannot handle this.
Learn Thai then you get to know more and also more friends. Thai people mostly are shy so they won't come to you to say hello first. And you are right don't be loud and respectful then everything is good.
Welcome to Thailand, thank you very much to visit and love my country. Hope you enjoy your long trip here.
I'm Thai. Thank you for visiting Thailand. But in Thailand, we are not 100% safe, but it is definitely more than 70%. We never care about skin color. You are human. Thai people are human. We use different languages But we can use body language to talk to each other.
Love your country! Thank you 🙏🏾
Chinese coming soon...........
@@taalofaa welcome all❤
The only thing tourists must remember is Bangkok's traffic, especially when using crosswalks. Not every driver appears to yield to pedestrians and stop for them.
Yes the traffic is a lot. I like to motor bikes for less wait
I would like to say as I am Thai. You probably know that Thai people are diverse in ethnicity and culture. And Thai people see people in general as human beings. Thai people only see you as a human being with black skin. Thai people talk to you or serve you as a human being. It does not discriminate against race or skin colour. No matter what color you are, you are human. Because when Asians go to America, Americans call Asians Monkey Man, Yellow Man. Thai people hate apartheid a lot, so anything that happens at your home will definitely not happen in Thailand.😁😁🙏🙏
Definitely like it here! Great culture 💯
I agree! As I am in Bangkok now
@@Tkewl1 nice bro how long have you been here ?
@@theisaiahashleyshow4251 Been here for 8 days so far.
@@theisaiahashleyshow4251 I gotta fly to Cambodia and turn around next month. I'm going to get the visa when I turn back around to go to Pattaya

I been to Thailand many times it's very safe out there you can go out at midnight in Bangkok or Pattaya and it's still safe. Just be respectful of the culture and the people and you'll be good. I'm going back out there on April
Welcome to Thai water festival
@Pigletpink Natto Actually I had to pushback the dates for September
On my first deployment, I made a stop in Phuket. Hands down, one of the best, most freeing experience of my life. I just felt at home. If I had no kids, I'd definitely be living in Thailand.
Brilliant mate.Awesome to hear that.
Great topic and we miss you here but glad to see your having a great time and I cant wait to visit one day
Can’t wait to be there again. I’m glad you’re enjoying Thailand.
ขอติดตามคุณด้วยคนนะครับ ยินดีตอนรับสู่เมืองไทย คุณอยู่เมืองไทยปลอดภัยแน่นอนในนามนักท่องเทียวต่างชาติ คุณจะได้รับการปกป้องอย่างดี ขอให้โชคดีนะครับ
This is good channel! Welcome to Thailand, Enjoy and safe your trip in Thailand. I'm glad you visit here.
I'm over by the BMK Center and yeah it's adding up. I was telling my friends back in Seattle that the people here are welcoming and friendly. I came alone and feel safe and welcomed. 💪
That’s what I’m saying, been here for 30 days now and each day I’m liking it more and more! You not far from me I’m at central world 🤣
@@theisaiahashleyshow4251 Nice! Yeah I am here for 2 more months planning on getting a condo in Pattaya in a few weeks and hitting the beaches. A lot of people probably won't come out here but it's beautiful and the people are just as well. Keep posting brotha umma checking out more content. I'm trying to post as well. My channel is a beat page but I'm adding my experience here too. We might run into each other in Pattaya umma be there for a month 💪 keep grinding 🙏
Yo Tamir! Just wanted to give a shoutout to a fellow black solo Seattleite living/traveling in Thailand, from down here in Phuket. I'm kinda missing BKK, but oh the beaches...
@@daveg695 Hell yeah! Back at you brotha! How far is Phuket? I'm heading to Pattaya soon brother for the beaches. How's the shopping down there and price of food?
@@Tkewl1 Phuket is about 16 hrs by bus or 45 min flight from BKK, but both flights and bus are cheap, and the busses are nice, not like Greyhounds. You can get a bus for like $20 and flights are less than $100 on 12Go Asia (check it out for getting around Thailand). Prices for food and lodging are a little more expensive compared to BKK this time of year because it is the high tourist season. There are a few shopping malls that aren't bad but nothing like Icon Siam or the like.
I can feel you are very relaxing with water melon and enjoy local market. Have a good time in Thailand.
I appreciate you getting to the point right away and then getting into the details. I also appreciate you showing the food because that’s a HUGE draw for me. Great video 10/10 overall thanks brotha ✊🏿
I am Thai so very grateful to see your video.
Thank you for your good attitude toward the presentation 🙂
Keep it coming my brotha
Hope you have a great time in my country "Thailand". Enjoy your trip and welcome back anytime.
Loved the video but have not seen any content recently. You have a gift for speaking in a very common sense and matter of fact manner. I want to see more content from you.
Welcome to Thailand Guy! I'm glad to hear you say that and I hope you enjoy all the times during your stay here.💗💗💗💗 จากชาวไทยง้าบบ
Welcomre to Thailand, I hope you enjoy your travels in Thailand. You will be smiling throughout this tour. Thai people are good-hearted, smile easily and smile at everything. If you don't understand something, it's okay, just smile with sincerity. You will definitely receive good things.
Hi, I'm Thai, welcome to Thailand . Hope you enjoy your visit to Thailand.
Sawasdee Krub 🙏 ขอให้มีความสุขในประเทศไทยครับ 😊
I'm a black male and have been to Thailand 6 times now by myself and have NEVER felt not safe at any time. I've been all around, primarily in Bangkok, Phuket and Pattaya. I travel by myself and have not had a bad interaction either. It's been a blast each time I've been there and I hope to be back in February.
Yea bro love it here! Feels like a safe heaven
Hello! Love you from thailand We hope you come back thailand Thailand is your home
Anytime dude! I’m so glad you had good experiences here
Has a Thai girl taken you home to mom and pop?
Welcome to Thailand again ❤🎉
ขอบคุณ ที่คุณรู้สึกดีๆ กับประเทศไทย
ขอให้มีความสุขกับการท่องเที่ยว 🙏🇹🇭💕
It is as safe as you want it to be. Just like anywhere else in the world. Some things you can't help happen. Most of the time it is all good everywhere. Cheers. Good Vid.
thank you for liking thailand. Most thais are humble and friendly with tourists.
I am a Thai person who appreciates your words. We always welcome you brother.
Welcome to Thailand. Enjoy your vacation here.
Love what you're doing young brotha. I'm gonna sub. We must have got to Thailand around the same time - Oct. 1 (although I did previously visit about 5 years ago). Your commentary is spot on. Try to get down to some of the southern islands. I'm in Phuket, and haven't been to Pattaya as I was looking for a less crowded beach experience. Keep on doing what you do!
Thank you!
Thank you for the positives of review
This is nice. Glad you're having a good time here
Appreciate that!
Thanks for your video brother I plan on visiting soon and if I like it I would pick up n move thanks for your content again 💯
Hello! Good morning from Lamphun, Northern Thailand. I'm a new subscriber to your vloc. Unlike some other youtubers who didn't say a single word while filming but you're talking a lot and that is what I like about your VDOs.
Thank you!

Hi, Sawaddee kha 😊🙏 I'm Thai and I love your channel. I hope you enjoy in my country. 😊😊❤❤
Have a nice time and nice trip
Anotha smart young brotha in boomboomland. Cool. Great attitude young man. You'll go far 🙏🏽📘✈🇹🇭
Appreciate that 💯
Thanks for a video and nice comments about Thailand.I am Thai who have been living in US for 30+ years. You are right that Thailand is generally safe comparing with Chicago where I live. In general, people are kind and friendly but they may seem shy, it is just because of their inability to communicate in English. I am glad you don't feel discriminated in Thailand. I think racism exists everywhere you go, it is just the matter of more or less. As Asian, I experience racism in US, it is something I have to accept and learn how to live with it. But most Thais will not do or say anything thing bad to people who look different from them. Like you said, as long as you don't do anything crazy, they will not bother you. Additionally, if you become Thais' friends, you will be more surprised, how Thais can be very loyal and sincere. Nevertheless, there are always bad people who will take advantage of foreigners in any countries you go including Thailand. Just be careful. I hope you continue to enjoy and experience good things in Thailand. If you experience unpleasant stuffs, just be mindful that Thailand is not perfect, there are areas for improvement. Thanks again for visiting my beloved homeland.
Correct. And because you've lived in America, you've definitely developed empathy for blacks living abroad because now you understand what egregious racism is (through unfortunate circumstances). Again, the previous president really stirred the attacks on "Asians" in America in general.
Thank you for your video. I’m Thai people.❤❤
Welcome bro happy your trip.
For ppl like you, we considered you all as our guests. Have a great time in Thailand!
I'm Thai I'm glad you visit my country I will follow you and will follow you forever I like your attitude very much wish you have a fun and safe trip but my country wish you good luck 😊
Welcome to Thailand 💖🙏
Welcome to thailand.have a good time in thailand.good luck &save every day.
Thank you,I am Thai very happy to hear that you like it here. Try going to smaller provinces, you might like them such as Sukhothai, Phetchabun, etc. If local cannot speak English I think Google translate can help.
Thank you !
I like Thailand! Thanks brother for the video, 🙏

Hey man, great content. I’m relocating to Bangkok soon. Definitely looking for people to connect with when I’m there.

As a thai I could agree it’s safer than you think, but the police could be a bit cunning and scary for real sometimes. But good to know that your local polices there are nice.
I’m glad you feel safe 👍
Cost of living is super low. Not too many 'ordinary' Thai speak English, other than that it's super nice.
Have a nice time
Thank you for your insight! I’m planning on visiting Thailand soon and wanted to know what a black man would experience in his time there.

My first out of the country trip from America will be to Thailand on a solo trip I want to visit places in Thailand where I can learn the culture and language I’ve been seeing videos and I’m so hyped to visit the Siam paragon mall I’m so excited I really think Thailand is a gem it’s a beautiful country
Welcome to Thailand
welcome to thailand hope to u have a nice in Thailand
As a Thai I've to admit that Thailand does have problems in some aspect
but overall, I've seen a good progression this past 20 years, Thai people getting more used to people from different race and start to have much more open mindset.
Brother, Thais are really open a long time ago. Not just recently. No matter what religions, sexes, races, we are welcome them with kindness.
ตามคุณโจมาเลยค่ะ จากเฟสบุ๊ค อิอิ 😁😁😁
Siamese people welcomed and were open to foreigners since Ayutthaya period. There were foreigner communities date back to Ayutthaya era, but many of them returned to their countries after hearing the news about the Burmese invasion. Fernão Mendes Pinto was the first foreigner from Europe who arrived in Siam and he ended up working for the Siamese King because we were cool with it.
except boomer
Why do some Thai people celebrate white skin? Be honest. The stores are filled with skin bleaching products. White skin is favored. I am not saying all people from Thailand are this way, but it DOES exist and it is only fair to present the whole picture. Darker skin Thai women are beautiful but are not considered so in their country. I hope this changes with the younger generation.
