I have found that this is not entirely true. People in Thailand tend to be "fake nice." If you have never been around "fake nice people," like people in the South for example, it is easy to think people are nice when they are really duplicitous.
@@biashacker How do you judge people that are "fake nice."? It's impossible for people who are unfamiliar with each other, especially strangers, to suddenly become "truly nice" at first sight in all situations. That's absolutely fake nice.
@@chetsadasirisopak5029 Thai culture is a save face culture. Meaning they do things not because they truly mean it but because they do not want to be judged by others. Therefore they pretend to be nice instead of actually being nice as a genuine person. When they get to know you and see what they can get away with, you see the real person. A lot of people from the West like this because they like people kissing their but all the time. This is why after some time you will hear them talking about how they got taking advantage of. "I can not believe this Thai person or that Thai person took advantage of me." This happens because the person they were dealing with was "fake nice."
@@biashacker Not everyone is like what you said if you know all Thai people every inch in this land. Every ASEAN country has a save-face culture like others. In this case, it means not doing something stupid or embarrassed in public that may affect their friends, families, and clans. You addressed it as 'fake nice,' but here it is 'social etiquette'. If you considered it a problem, then this place is not right for you. That's why Stacey said Thai society is built on respect.
Lovely interview. Thanks Adam and Stacey for your kind words to Thailand and the people. Stacey, I'm Thai, when I was young I neither didn't like rain, then I just realize that rain means so much to farmers' LIFE in the country side. Now I feel happier in rainy season (of course, not floods). 😂😂
Living in Bangkok sounds like an incredible choice! 🌆 It’s such a vibrant city with endless opportunities and a welcoming community-perfect for a fresh start!
Hey Adam, my name is Rod and I'm a 28 year old Army veteran of 6 years, who's been in Bangkok for 1 year now. I've been to 29 countries, and I do day hikes around the world of 30 km or more, with no breaks. I'd love to connect with you for an interview one day. I've got big plans and I want to share it with the world. My business email is in the description of my TH-cam channel, thanks for your time.
Glad that you enjoyed living in a huge city like BKk. I was born & live in BKK and spent 2 years in a small town, Bloomington, in Indiana studying. I loved every minute of it and still miss it. 😊
Very interesting topic and I like the format. I have the LTR-P visa and have to say that I love it. I purchased my first condo in 2009 after visiting Thailand for the first time in 2004. Having lived in places like Japan, The Philippines, Iceland, the USA I really just felt at home in Thailand. The food the people the live and let live attitude. Just wanted to reach out to you and say keep up the good work .
Great insightful questions. The B rolls & graphics makes it even more enjoyable to watch. Just one note, the wide angle of you two with the background of Bangkok was amazing, but it also looks better if the camera pans to you while you're talking rather than aiming at Stacy nodding. In conversations, you want to focus on the person talking. Just a thought. Look forward to your next video.
As a veteran, I can confidently tell you that the only free healthcare US veterans receive, is if it is a health issue related to your military service. Stacey seems healthy, but if he falls victim to an unexpected illness or he is in an accident in Thailand, he better not be counting on the VA or US government to foot the bill. I really hope he understands this before it is too late.
The VA is willingly incompetent. Even Tricare there can be issues. The worst part is you have to pay up front first and then you are reimbursed by the government. I will tell you a secret - there was a Colonel that worked closely with Tricare and veteran medical services. He said to a retired military couple that the US is trying to cut costs and eliminate some medical care for veterans. This is why you may be seeing worse medical care all around. The civilian sector is doing the same.
I was wondering about this also. My understanding is that the VA Foreign Medical Program (FMP) is designed for U.S. veterans who live or travel abroad and need treatment for VA-rated service-connected conditions. I do receive VA healthcare in the states and, while the cost is quite low, it is not free. Is there a way to be granted this low-cost healthcare while in Thailand?
@@Thailand-Wanderer Yes youtube will tag you and censor you if you write things that go against the status quo that they are trying to promote. This happens to me quite frequently and anyone they do not agree with. Free speech is essentially dead on youtube.
Scarlett rooftop would be a nice place for you while enjoying the French restaurant plus chill vibes and the View of the Bangkok city. And also Michelin star. You're welcome to Bangkok🙏💕
good interview, wished you asked more detail on the compelling history- 1) what type of biz in San Diego, 2) what’s he doing with the two trucks, 3) how does military pay for your college when you’re no longer serving 4) did he say he plays semi-pro bball in Thailand… what did he mean about making it onto a basketball team?
Military pays for school because he qualifies for the GI Bill which gives him 4 years free schooling paid for in addition to Basic allowance for housing (BAH) I’m gonna do that he’s doing next year too with online classes 🤣🤣
There is no cycling culture in Bangkok so it's not safe at all. Things can go wrong as cars don't generally expect bicycles that ride at slower speed on the roads. Best just to take BTS, MRT, Taxi etc.
Wow. I've seen a couple of his vids and I thought he was just another knuckle head youtuber hanging out with stoners and probably won't last long. I'm pretty impressed with him after the interview. From military to proprietary trader in the UK. Hopped from county to country. Screams of a CIA asset. 😁
Stacey said Thai society is built on respect. That struck me as true and a key theme why Thailand is so appreciated.

Thailand and Japan are both best known for placing high value on respect. I agree.
Good interview! Stacey has the right attitude....Respectful to the locals!
Never comments on his channel.
he is one of the most amazing people, living the good life.
🙏🏾

Thanks for sharing. I agree. I've also been to several other countries but I just prefer Thailand.

Awesome series! Since I live in Santa Barbara, I can totally relate to him.
Another fantastic interview with an awesome guy!

Thailand truly is a special place! 🌴 From its stunning beaches to the warm culture, it’s a must-visit for anyone exploring Southeast Asia! 🌏

Welcome to Thailand everyone 🙏🏻💕💯🇹🇭🥊🫶🏻
on our way for vacation in January. We dont drink, but would love too find a chill quiet Rooftop restaurant if anyone has any ideas.
Vertigo is a solid option. Not sure what you mean by “quiet”, but you won’t have to shout to have a conversation.
There’s soooo many options
YELLOW ROOF is a solid local choice, but may be a little far for you but on the MRT lines.
@@seanrrichards Do they no longer have live music?
Not sure how that would fit into OPs criteria of “quiet”.
Scarlett rooftop would be a nice place for you while enjoying the French restaurant plus chill vibes and the View of the Bangkok city. And also Michelin star.
You're welcome to Bangkok🙏💕
Great content! Subbed! Thank you. 🙏
Oh, I know that guy! I watched his video a lot
His videos are pure addiction.
love this channel
Very good interview, pretty fair to BKK thank you
ผมค่อนข้างชอบคุณ Stacey นะ ติดตามตั้งแต่มาถึงประเทศไทยวีดีโอแรกๆแล้ว วีดีโอที่เขาลงช่องส่วนมากดูสบายเหมือนได้ใช้ชีวิตไปกับเขาด้วย
ใช่ใช่Stacy เป็นคนอเมริกันที่ดีมากๆจิตใจดี, yeah yeah Stacy is very nice,
Stacey is so cool 😊
good interview, wished you asked more detail on the compelling history-
1) what type of biz in San Diego, 2) what’s he doing with the two trucks,
3) how does military pay for your college when you’re no longer serving

Wow... What an interesting interview!
GR8 VLOG!

love you Stacey
We r respect for everybody
What? A vlog I religiously watch interviewing a vlogger I religiously watch!
How you guys can bear BKK. summer heat amaze me! 🥵
I'm Thai btw. 😅
To those in Bangkok: Is it possible to ride a bicycle in Bangkok or is it a city not setup for that kind of commuting? Thanks

Disabilities? Playing basketball?? How long was in the military service ? Sorry this interview was too choppy and too vague to be of value.

This guy has an American accent with Australian enunciation. Lol.
you sound exactly like your dad

คุณคงไม่ใช่หน่วยสืบลับของอเมริกาใช่มั้ย เพราะคนไทยบางส่วนรับเงินตะวันตกเพื่อป่วนประเทศไทย
อยากให้คุณเอาเวลาที่บ้านอยากให้คุณเอาเวลาที่ว่างเดี๋ยวลองไปเซอร์เวย์โรงพยาบาลต่างๆในประเทศไทยทั้งรัฐบาลและเอกชนทำคลิปเพื่ออธิบายให้ชาวโลกได้รู้บ้างให้ทารกได้รู้ว่าโรงพยาบาลในประเทศไทยเป็นอย่างไรเพราะโรงพยาบาลในประเทศไทยเป็นโรงพยาบาลที่มีชื่อเสียงมากขนาดตะวันออกกลางเขาเรียกอะไรอ่ะคือเที่ยวไปด้วยหาหมอไปด้วยในประเทศไทยก็มีบริการแบบนี้ส่วนใหญ่เศรษฐีตะวันออกกลางเศรษฐีน้ำมันก็จะมาใช้โรงพยาบาลที่ประเทศไทยอยากให้คุณลองทำคลิปชโรงพยาบาลของรัฐบาลและเอกชนซึ่งของรัฐบาลคุณสามารถเข้าออกได้สบายไม่มีปัญหา
จะอธิบายเรื่องโรงพยาบาลในประเทศไทยซึ่งผมเป็นคนไทยเดี๋ยวเล่าให้ฟังคือแต่ไม่ละเอียดก็พอมีความรู้ทำไมใครอยากพวกเราเนี่ยเข้าโรงพยาบาลพวกเรามีแค่บัตรประชาชนคือไม่มีเงินสดเลยก็ได้สามารถเข้าโรงพยาบาลแล้วพบหมอได้ไม่ต้องนัดหมอคือเราไปตอนไหนก็ได้พบในโรงพยาบาลของรัฐบาลนะโรงพยาบาลของรัฐบาลที่หรูหราและใหญ่ๆในกรุงเทพฯมีมีมากมายหลายโรงพยาบาลแต่ละเขตมีหมดและเทียบชั้นแบบแบบระดับหรูๆระดับอินเตอร์ได้เลยเช่นบริเวณที่คุณอยู่คือสุขุมวิทเหรอและคนต่างชาติเข้าไปใช้บริการได้ทันทีและราคาถูกนี่คือโรงพยาบาลของรัฐบาลในประเทศไทยลองลองไปทำคลิปเซอร์เวย์ดูบ้างและถ้าเป็นโรงพยาบาลเอกชนในประเทศไทยเนี่ยเทียบเท่าโรงแรมระดับ 5 ดาวในกรุงเทพฯและทำประกันสุขภาพก็ราคาถูกและในโรงพยาบาลเขาสามารถพูดภาษาอังกฤษทางรัฐบาลและเอกชนเขาสามารถบริการคุณเป็นภาษาอังกฤษได้ถ้าทำที่ต่างประเทศมันราคาแพงมาก
Lets Go Stacey!
ส่วนใหญ่คนจะเข้าใจทางยุโรปและอเมริกาจะเข้าใจเรื่องการรักษาพยาบาลในประเทศไทยคืออาจจะเข้าใจคลาดเคลื่อนแต่ให้คุณรีวิวและเท่าที่ตามรูปผมหรือว่าทางยุโรปอเมริกาตะวันตกในหลายคนเขาอยากจะทราบว่ามันเป็นยังไงให้เกี่ยวกับโรงพยาบาลในประเทศไทยเนี่ยการรักษาเป็นยังไงแพทย์พยาบาลเป็นยังไงดูเหมือนเขาให้ความสนใจนะแต่ว่ามันไม่มีใครทำคลิปแบบนี้ให้พวกเขาดู
