We here in Thailand , some people consider Transgender and lady boys are Thai Soft Power and we proud to have these individuals. You can go anywhere and you will find trans people working and living their lives and they are supported. Happy Pride Month! ❤🏳️🌈
@@okayperson8416we promote our country as the freedom land for LGBTQA+. We have miss Tiffany beauty pageant for trans, Equally marriage, Social acceptance, Night club area for LGBTQA+, Pride Parade to draw tourists
As a Thai, we are open for every concept of genders. In negative point, if someone is homophobic, they just dont care and ignore. They dont bother you, not yelling, not starting a fight. They just ignore and live their own. Sometimes it’s hard to open old people’s mind, but good thing is they wont bother you.
THIS! This is so true. Like I’m glad that people have common sense here and not bothering other people sexual preferences 😭 ชอบที่คนไทยเปนแบบนี้นะะ มันดีกว่ามากๆเลย ส่วนมากก้แค่ไม่คุยละไม่สนใจ ซึ่งถือว่าเป็นวิธีที่เราว่าได้ผลมากที่สุดเลยค่ะ555555
i'm guessing the openness comes from the culture/religion? that's so nice, with colonization western Europe put their "traditional" ideologies on other countries that were doing good on equality and stuff, that's the worst. it's good to see a culture open on sexuality, gender etc.
@@user-sg4ov7ng4h no its not due to culture or religion..... its the fact that the GOVERNMENT DOESNT SHOVE TRANS SHIT DOWN THEIR FACES and piss people off
I hate to admit most of my life I have been pretty close minded towards LGBT but visiting Thailand opened my eyes to just how accepting and friendly we should all be to every walk of life
Hey dude, me too. I grew up in a cult, was hyper masculine, homophobic, conservative etc. I found out I was trans a couple years ago. Very shocking for me and changed my life forever. There's plenty of us LGBT folk that can relate to you. We're not all politically correct snowflakes with twitter accounts crying about pronouns.
I had gay friends before they “came out” or even accepted themselves as gay or trans 🎉Does not mean we should judge or treat you any different because of your sexuality. I asked this one girl because she gave me some gay vibes and she denied it… and 2 years later she is now engaged to a woman.
As a Thai and a Buddhist, I think both of these make us so carefree and easy to let things go. No matter what others are, if you're not making trouble or breaking laws then that's fine! You can be whoever you are and love whoever you want. Happy to see you're happy here in Thailand! :D
I wish everyone could be more like this… i had no clue Thailand was like this until watching this video. It’s so lovely to know a place like that exist in a world that’s often rude and harsh 🖤
I wonder what that was about? Was it a facial expression they’re unaware they make? Or a tick ? Or was it that they were pissed they didn’t pay/hire them? She’s street walker in china town right?
As a Thai person, I'd like to tell you that our elderly love to work. My grandmother is 72 years old, and she still hasn't stopped working because she says staying at home doing nothing is not fun. So, thank you very much for your concern about this. Our welfare state is not comprehensive enough to allow them to live without doing anything or easy at home. This might be because in Thailand, we have a low tax rate and it doesn't cover much. Finally, I wish you meet good people on every trip you take. love ❤
I love hearing of older people who want to keep working! Both of my grandparents (they’re also around 70-72) have retired from their old jobs but they both still work. They have a small side business working outside in peoples gardens and yards. They love the work they do and my grandma always told me, even when i was a small child, “staying moving is how you stay young!” And i truly believe that!
Once i joined my mom school reunion and heard that one of my mom’s friend’s son is going to be a ladyboy and another woman’s daughter is turned to tomboy so they laughing and talk about exchanging their clothes 😂
TH-cam recommended me this video and I’m not disappointed! I love your attitude and the way you interact with people is so adorable. We Thai people love it so much when we see foreigners try to speak Thai. Doesn’t really matter if your Thai is good or bad, we just truly appreciate how you guys put the time and effort into learning our culture. As for the gender equality here, according to my 93 year old grandma, “As long as you’re happy and always being kind to others, you should be alright. What does sexuality have to do with being a good person?” However, we do still have a bit of stigma about trans women here tho. It’s not super harmful but it can be toxic sometimes cuz a lot of people just kinda expect ALL trans women to always be funny or jokesters. It’s almost like they can’t take trans women seriously sometimes. One of my best friends (who is a gay guy) decided to keep his sexuality from the public since his work requires him to be very professional and formal. His twin “sister” is now a trans man tho. So I always tease him how they must have switched souls before birth. lmao
Happy Pride! My boyfriend and I are planning a trip there this November from the US. You're such a joy to watch! I love your energy, and thanks for showing us around. Slay mama!!
As a Thai person, I have never thought of Bangkok as a creative city before but when you said it, I really get what you meant. Bangkok is the city with no theme. It’s mixed with a lot of cultures and keep changing Every time I travel to Siam I’m always surprised 😊 Anyway, thanks for sharing this vlog! I really like your vibe 😁💖
I just randomly saw this video and the titles are catching my attention! After that, I realized I had just falling in love with your vibes, your attitude, your style, the way you talk in Thai, your accent, your tone, and your positive energy! Thank you so much for sharing this, and I hope you have an enjoyable experience in Thailand. ❤ ขอบคุณครับ 🙏🏻🫡😁🫶🏻
I enjoy watching your videos and the way you meet people. They all look friendly. The last man sharing you Gaolad (chestnut) surprisingly nice. By the way, welcome to Thailand.😁
Hi Dency. I really enjoy watching your VDO exploring several shops in Bangkok, talking to people, that's so nice. The easiest way to ask "How much?" in Thai is "un-ni tow-rai ka?"..(*un pronounced like 'un' in 'unbelievable'). Have a great time in Bangkok.😊❤❤
hello, as someone who was always interested by the diversity of thailand's capital city, i loved your vlog showcasing it. it's so beautiful so see your experiences there and the people there (and you) are so charismatic, much love 💞
Hey Dency! Leuke video. Ook heel erg fijn om te horen dat je je daar vrij voelt. Heb het gevoel dat het in Nederland rap vermindert, de tolerantie. Dit was de eerste video die ik van je tegenkwam. Benieuw naar de rest. ❤️
Fan uit NL, ook ts, vindt het heel knap dat je gekozen hebt voor je eigen leven en de uitdaging aangaat in een land waar je je fijner voelt, NL gaat hard achteruit.. groetjes x much respect
You are absolutely stunning. You have got beautiful smile. ❤ You are right! In Thailand you can be whatever you want. Be free and always be safe here. We respect you as the way you are.
Some old people like to work. Because he thought it made him strong. And it's still valuable. If he doesn't do it, he won't have the strength. and not happy. 😊
For some language enthusiasts out there, Kathoey is a broader term, and Saw Pra Peth Song (Saw Song for short) falls under the Kathoey umbrella term. Basically, if you are feminine and gay, you can call yourself Kathoey, but if you are transgender, you are Saw Pra Peth Song, though some still call themselves Kathoey. Some Kathoey don't want to transition. Kathoey actually originated from a word used to describe intersex people, but the meaning has changed over time. In my opinion, the acknowledgment of genders other than male and female created space for a third gender in Thailand a long time ago.
I'm don't agree with that. I think gay in Thai means a man who's love a man and don't want to change their sexuality to be a girl. (Beside that Thai people not including lesbian in gay people. In Thailand if you call gay, it's only mean for male loving male.) If a boy want to be a girl but not changing their sex yet, In Thailand he will be called "Toots" or "Tootsies". For Ka-Toey accually it's meaning Ladyboy (trangens woman) that already had sex changing under surgery, had long hairs, had artificial boobs. But some people also call 'Toots' who very feminine 'Ka-Toey'.
Katoey used to be a derogatory term for Thai Trans women, so Sow Song is what someone seems more polite (but there’s still some sense that Trans women aren’t accepted as Cis-women so there’re some people advocating not to assume what to call them) The interesting part is there’s stigmatization towards them that they always be funny (which I personally think humor might become their option to cope with discrimination), but their humor finally reclaim Katoey word to identify themselves. There is even a part of the song that goes, P’Katoey told me not to cry, which actually distorted from the original one (The song is Recall by BOWKYLION), but it became went so viral that many trans allies (especially in afab individuals) come to share their stories online when they’ve been empowered by Trans women in bad times, and they start to call Trans women as P’Katoey (P’ is a prefix to call who’s older) as a praise as they’re always supporting us like a sisterhood. After that, the artist gave interviews and thanked P’Katoey for supporting her work also. (Just wanted to share my opinion here🤣)
@@bloop4255 I feel like Kathoey and Saw song is not always interchangeable because all Saw song wants to be women but not all Kathoey (that I know) wants to be women. Some of my Kathoey friends totally happy with their genitalia.
The boy you showed in the first minutes - Offroad - is an actor from Boy Love series, like two male lead actors. This segment of the entertainment industry has been growing and receiving attention from fans around the world. It’s another aspect of how much people are open up to diversity in Thailand.
Thai transgenders has never caused issues in society. In fact we love them because they are so much fun ! half my friends are either gay or trans in Thailand . We coexist as human, as Thai people . Love , straight Thai women ❤
Thanks for resonating how it's really like to be out here to the rest of the world. Regardless of how we're so third-world country on so many things in life today. BUT the threshold of acceptance for the LGBTQ community in this society has made me think that we're also lightyears ahead of many other countries. For what it's worth, I'm grateful for Thailand and the whether it is the unconditional love or positive human connection we're willing to give each other. Why treat someone poorly just because they wanted to speak for they/themselves (see what I did there lol). I'm straight as a ruler but I'm telling you now. In Thailand, your voice will always be heard! Deep down we are all human, all the same flesh and blood. Recently, the senate has just passed the same-sex marriage legislation (the first in Southeast Asia) so it's really great to see how we're striving to be better here and there as well. To all pride communities worldwide, come to Thailand and let us be where your heart is at
Even though you said at the en d of the video that you do not know what you are doing, just keep doing you, you have just made a new subscriber from Argentina!
i just wanted to comment and say you are GORGEOUS! Wow 😍 Maybe it is the beautiful, accepting environment in Thailand where you feel so free, because you are truly glowing
Hi Dency, honestly I randomly found your vlog. You are so cute and very approachable. I believe everyone wants to befriend with you. Your manner is so sweet and respectful… sending love ❤️
Wat een leuke video, knappe meid ben je 😊. Geniet van het mooie Thailand, ik mag gelukkig 7 juli ook weer richting Bangkok vliegen. Lieve groetjes uit Eindhoven
the thing with shark finn in food, is that when the shark is caught only the fins are cutt off. and they dont use the rest of the shark, they just discard the rest.
I've heard that some parts of Thailand are still anti-gay or transgender, but I was born and raised in Bangkok, and my entire family tree, including my mother's great-grandfather, is from Bangkok. I have no problems at all. At 14, I told my family that I was gay, and my mother was surprised, saying, "Really?" Does this mean I won't be able to hug your baby? I said, "Even though I'm straight, you know I'm not going to have a baby," and she laughed. My father drops my boyfriend off at school every day bc he studies at a different school from me. all my friends are straight males and they didn't believe me at first, but they are ok, like when we travel somewhere and we have to share a bed, they always try to sleep with me. I think it bc somehow they think gays have more hygiene than straight males which I guess it's not true at all.
Sis, you are gorgeous! I made TH-cam videos too YEARS ago I gotta get back into it but how wonderful to see a gorgeous sister looking like a model and living her best life out and about. Seriously, I’m so proud of you and I genuinely mean that ❤ P.s. what was up with that other trans woman you talked to and when you said by to each other she rolled her eyes and looked OVER IT. Lolll aww hell nawwww hahahah 😂
Hi, Dency! This video somehow got recommended on my home page but I didn’t regret watching it. Thailand is very lenient and welcoming to all kinds of people as long as they don’t break the law and are willing to learn our culture. My grandparents in their late 80s and early 90s has always treated Kathoey/Trans the same way they do cis gender people. A food stall owner in my neighbourhood is Kathoey. My grandpa said that it’s nice for them(I don’t know they pronoun) to be able to experience life both as a male and female, and that they know what they want and who they are. That was 10 years ago, btw. Many of my cousin is LGBTQ+; one dated with women; one is Kathoey and is trying to be trans(she’s so gorgeous) All that to say: this is a safe place for transpeople. My family members from all generations support and is understanding to transpeople, and I believe we can’t be the only family out there
I’m so glad you like it in Thailand! I’m Thai and I’m very glad that Thai people are usually okay with people from the LGBTQ+ community! Even if someone doesn’t like it, they don’t rlly say anything to you! They just mind their own business! But it’s nice to see that you liked it here in Thailand!
not sure if anyone told you too but offroad is a bl actor as well he starred in a few shows. he played in love in translation and the new one right now Century of love

I know I was like dang she kinda looks pissed LMFAO. She was polite at least.
I seen that face visiting Bangkok when declining some of the street 'workers' offers
It was so funny lollll
I wonder what that was about?
Was it a facial expression they’re unaware they make? Or a tick ?
Or was it that they were pissed they didn’t pay/hire them? She’s street walker in china town right?
@@FrankskinOrweed-ep4ijPretty sure they were expecting payment and were pissed that they wasted business LOL
It is part of the Thai spirit to be free. There is nothing more free than being accepted for who you are, on the inside and the outside.
I love that!
Wow, your words ring true to my soul.
I mean Thai also literally means to be free and may I add that being really chill and relaxed is also a part of the Thai spriti
But you still got to be respectful and behave too. Not like the woke and into your face type of LGBTQ

Recently, the senate has just passed the same-sex marriage legislation (the first in Southeast Asia) so it's really great to see how we're striving to be better here and there as well. To all pride communities worldwide, come to Thailand and let us be where your heart is at
I agree with you !!☺️☺️🙏🏽🙏🏽
I love to see people are happy, and you are happy!
Even though you said at the en d of the video that you do not know what you are doing, just keep doing you, you have just made a new subscriber from Argentina!

the thing with shark finn in food, is that when the shark is caught only the fins are cutt off. and they dont use the rest of the shark, they just discard the rest.
Wow thanks for sharing
In my classroom there are 1-2 lgbtq+ people, yes it is very normal. And we accept it because we are all people.
🗿
In America most of the people are
I've heard that some parts of Thailand are still anti-gay or transgender, but I was born and raised in Bangkok, and my entire family tree, including my mother's great-grandfather, is from Bangkok. I have no problems at all. At 14, I told my family that I was gay, and my mother was surprised, saying, "Really?" Does this mean I won't be able to hug your baby? I said, "Even though I'm straight, you know I'm not going to have a baby," and she laughed. My father drops my boyfriend off at school every day bc he studies at a different school from me. all my friends are straight males and they didn't believe me at first, but they are ok, like when we travel somewhere and we have to share a bed, they always try to sleep with me. I think it bc somehow they think gays have more hygiene than straight males which I guess it's not true at all.
That’s amazing I love it, so sweet hat your father drops your bf of at school every day 🥹💖
You're very kind and so pretty!!!😍😍
Thanks for the look around ❤ looking good 😊
Your video was recommended to me by TH-cam. I love your vibe and style! Definitely subscribing ❤
Thank you so much!!
You are thriving there 😄 I can't wait to move there and visit my family again
Oh wow je bent nederlands!! Je hebt geen accent. Wat ben je mooi 🥰🥰🥰 ben blij dat je azie/thailand zo promoot 💕💕💕💕💕💕
Sis, you are gorgeous! I made TH-cam videos too YEARS ago I gotta get back into it but how wonderful to see a gorgeous sister looking like a model and living her best life out and about. Seriously, I’m so proud of you and I genuinely mean that ❤
P.s. what was up with that other trans woman you talked to and when you said by to each other she rolled her eyes and looked OVER IT. Lolll aww hell nawwww hahahah 😂
Thank you so much sis!! I appreciate it ☺️💖🫶🏼🫶🏼 I dont know what happened but looking back I was like …🤣 such a funny moment.
I’m so happy to watch this video
Hi, Dency! This video somehow got recommended on my home page but I didn’t regret watching it. Thailand is very lenient and welcoming to all kinds of people as long as they don’t break the law and are willing to learn our culture. My grandparents in their late 80s and early 90s has always treated Kathoey/Trans the same way they do cis gender people. A food stall owner in my neighbourhood is Kathoey. My grandpa said that it’s nice for them(I don’t know they pronoun) to be able to experience life both as a male and female, and that they know what they want and who they are. That was 10 years ago, btw. Many of my cousin is LGBTQ+; one dated with women; one is Kathoey and is trying to be trans(she’s so gorgeous)
All that to say: this is a safe place for transpeople. My family members from all generations support and is understanding to transpeople, and I believe we can’t be the only family out there
i love what your grandpa said about kathoey!! yes it is a very safe place for trans people and i love that
WELCOME IN BANGKOK DENCY😘
That's cool and good to hear honestly 😌😎👌 America is so weird and wild but
Love seeing this! You look like Stacy Dash too!
TH-cam recommends your video to me and I thought you were a model or an actress because you look so beautiful in your thumbnail
I’m so glad you like it in Thailand! I’m Thai and I’m very glad that Thai people are usually okay with people from the LGBTQ+ community! Even if someone doesn’t like it, they don’t rlly say anything to you! They just mind their own business! But it’s nice to see that you liked it here in Thailand!
Thank you so much kha 🙏🏽
Thank you so much kha 🙏🏽
