- What makes Thai people so special? Well, I think their Buddhist culture has a lot to do with it, so this is a Pay It Forward video where I gave back to a local Buddhist temple on the island of Koh Samui.
I love this country and I love using this TH-cam Channel to give back where I can. This project took over a year to complete and with your support, and the support of many expats who call Samui home, we managed to build an entire building on temple lands that will be used as a Samui Community Center for years to come.

they are just like any two-faced people
The most profound Experience in my life was the immersion into the Buddhism culture. It saved my life visiting Thailand after I lost my parents, decades ago. I'm retiring there too, Chris. The immersion saved my life, as it will again. The country and people are beyond Amazing....it changes reality and provides a path to hope...bless you
Among many interesting places , richness of culture and delicious food ,Finding real meaning of Buddhism and apply it to your daily life is definitely the most beautiful thing someone can get from Thailand .
Wow! So glad to hear that! I’m Thai and Buddhist but still learning. Without Buddhism, I think it would be quite difficult to see any direction in my life. Many thanks for this valuable sharing.
I am happy that you emerged into the Buddhism.
May you have a peaceful, happy life.
Sure,Budism is the answer.

words of weird fanatic.
Thank you so much Chris for loving and respecting our cultures.
Khop Khun Mak Krap Chris🙏 This is really a very special video from you. I was a buddhist monk in Thailand in 2006 for few months. So I can really understand what you are talking about! 🙏
Saa-thuu 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@parakornes 🙏🙏🙏
Saa-thuu ka
Wow Chris What a fantastic project. I was supposed to be in Samui this past ten days until tomorrow with my son, but he had to cancel due to business reasons. I canceled as well but decided to reinstate my reservations and will be there in a few weeks and will definitely make a visit to the temple to see the upgrade. You are truly an inspiration to all of us that love Thailand and the people. Thank you!
คุณมีจิตใจที่เหมือนคนไทยแล้ว การทำแบบนี้เปนการทำบุญใหญ่ ขอให้กุศลความดีที่ทำติดตัวตามไปทุกชาติๆนะครับ ขอบคุณแทนคนไทยทุกคนครับ 🥰🥰🥰
Chris, thanks so much for this video, it's very hard to describe what makes Thai people so special and Thailand so special and I think you captured part of it. I am in love with Chiang Mai but the people throughout Thailand are always incredible.
Thai people in general are honest, kind, tolerant, accepting, understand that some things are within our control and some are not and they do not waste a lot of time and emotion complaining. They are caring, trustworthy, appreciative, willing to help, they practice collectivism and group think. Many more traits also.
they're caring tolerant and willing to help, they practice collectivism and group think only because of the Buddhism. Most of them will still demand money. Don't think they're that trustworthy. thery just feel forced. they only show the best of themselves when you speak thai fluently.
@@jbranche8024 few of them are like that, they only wants our money in reality.
they are just annoyingly modest and foreign-money-thirsty so easy to say that when you speak their language fluently
Thank you Chris for doing this for Thai people- especially during and after these awful Corona times. Koh Samui was my first destination 20 years ago to Thailand and I love it too and is also one of the reasons I fell in love with Thailand. Now being in Thailand already at least 40 times this is still my favorite country to visit. I wish you to have good times there with your beautiful wife and take the most of it! I`ll be in Thailand again if everything is going by my plans in November this year.
Welcome to thailand ka :)
these people are nothing special. They are just overpolite people because of their religion.
its people have nothing special
As a Buddhist, I wanna said many thanks and 'อนุโมทนาบุญ' or 'อนุโมทนาสาธุ' to you guys. That's means glad to your good karma/good things you have done. No matter which's part more or less. we believed that some things good will return to you exactly. It will start in your mind and effect to other things in your incoming life. This base on karma believed of Buddhism. ขอบคุณมากและขออนุโมทนาสาธุค่ะ 😁🙏
Big love for the Thai people. Such a warm community
You are amazing Chris and so are the Thai people. This is the reason why I am always coming back to Thailand. The people are truly amazing.
There is a Thai saying that "Heaven is in the chest, Hell is in the heart." The meaning of this word is when you do good deeds. You will have a good feeling. (like going to heaven) but if you do bad things You will feel miserable (like going to hell).
I did it. I moved to Thailand. I'm living in Koh Phangan. I've been here for nearly 2 months now. Part of what helped me was your channel.
I am so excited to be coming to Bangkok In November. My son married a wonderful Thai girl and I got to live the experience of the love, warmth and happiness of knowing someone Thai. She makes me feel so welcome and I’m not even there yet. Chris, I may need your help on learning how to move to Thailand. That is my plan, my dream, to move there in November permanently. Right now I’m a little overwhelmed. But to be a part of a country who is so thankful for water, is a dream I can only imagine. The US just expects to have everything given to them, I never thought about people actually making a holiday for water.. Love this country and I’m not even there yet. Thank you for everything you do, I can’t wait to get there and I hope to meet you soon.
กุศลที่คุณและทีมงานของคุณในการนี้มหาศาลนัก ขอให้คุณทุกๆคนมีความสุข และอายุยืนไม่มีโรคภัยไจ้เจ็บเบียดเบียน
เราคนไทย ชาวสยาม ได้ซาบซึ้งมาก ที่คุณมาเที่ยว มาอาศัย มานำเสนอเมืองไทยให้ทุกคนบนโลกได้รับรู้ ขอขอบคุณจากคนไทย 1 ใน 71 ล้านคนครับ
I been to Thailand twice back in the 90’s while serving in the US Marines. I was surprised how beautiful the place was and peaceful people are. Beaches were beautiful and Thai people are so gentle and just courteous. Much respect for Thailand from US!
For the last 8 years, I have been searching for the place in Thailand where I want to end up. I may have just found it!
Other countries kill street dogs, but Thai people feed them. This makes Thai street messy, but that reflects the culture and kindness of the people.
You made my cry... so amazing endeavor, blessing for you Chris and friends, for the energy and determination to put this building together for the community. SATU SATU SATU 🙏
Chris, You are a true Thai!!! May the Lord Buddha blessed you!! On the behalf of the Thai people, WE thanks you and your team!! My dad built an multi-purpose building for the Wat of Houston in Houston, Texas. It was his dream before he past away in 2020, Buddha blessed him. I think of my father everyday and the sacrifices that he make so much in his lifetime to the people of Thailand and in USA. Dad, "I love you"
Wish you good luck and happiness forever from Thailand.
😊
🙏 🇹🇭
I'm a Thai who just saw this video. And I'm very thankful that you feel good about Thailand. and representing foreigners who share good friendship stories of Thai people with everyone who visits Thailand And thank you very much for your help and do good things for the Thai people and this land.
One of your best videos. I visited Thailand last year absolutely loved the Thai people. Loved the spiritually, gentleness, devotion, happiness
This is so very true for many like me who found Thailand and Thai people a solution to problems and sadness in life I’m in no way religious but whenever I’m there I feel a calmness and happiness IMO Bhuddists know how to live in the moment and forget worries which is very appealing to us foreigners 💕
Only when you speak the language
How completely awesome to give a building/meeting space to the Thai / Samui people. Thai people are the warmest people in the world!! I love these pay-it-forwards!!
You never disappoint Chris. Always making Canada proud brother!
Well done everyone the thai's are beautiful people
Outstanding...these pay it forwards are always a personal favorite of mine. I share in the appreciation to all who supported with their time, labor, support or resources. The generosity of this community is inspiring and the shout out to Josh and Alex so obviously well deserved.
ขอบคุณมากๆค่ะ
ซาบซึ้งใจมากในฐานะคนไทย กับสิ่งที่เกิดขึ้นนี้จากใจที่เมตตา เป็นที่รักของเทวดาและมนุษย์ ขอบคุณมาก
Chris you are the catalyst in all this! you make it happen🙏🙏🙏🙏 you get me very emotional and proud that you a fellow Canadian not sure about your choice in hockey teams but you where born into that team....lol. Great things happen around you ! Thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
ขอขอบคุณจากคนไทย ขอให้คุณมีแต่ความสุขตลอดไป
I want to say, Thank you , Really thank you to everyone who support this project.
What can I say about this man. I don’t think he makes much money out of his TH-cam channel, if anything at all. Paying it forward is what he actually means. Very touching, Chris. Thanks 🙏
I’m crying for your profound love to Thai people.😂
Thank you Chris for your hard work. I as a Thai person appreciate your efforts to make the society on Koh Samui really nice and welcoming. What you can give is really a lot. I love and respect you very much.🙏❤️🇹🇭
As a THai who lived in the US for decades but never feel like home. Glad you find a place you love, some Americans are super and some are idiots, especially in the US. You are correct, Budhhist and culture are the main foundation of compassion and karma. Thanks for your help and compassion. What you are doing is better than most Thai corrupt politicians and police.
Positive vibes shine through all aspects of this video... They're a joy to watch and inspire! I'm based in Phuket and have been to Samui and now when I return this temple will be on my list of places to have some time. Thank you Chris!
In some occations, the head monk organizes a meditation course. The meditation course may run for a week or two. The building will be used as a place where the people who join in the meditation course to stay.
I am so grateful and touched by what you, George and Alex, the Samui expat community and all the people with big hearts have made such sacrifices. Thank you very much.
Thank you Chris 😊🙏🙏🙏
วัด สิ่งสำคัญที่สุดคือความรู้สึกเป็นเจ้าของร่วมกัน และดูแลรักษาให้คนรุ่นต่อไปได้มีได้ใช้ให้เป็นที่พึ่งทางใจ ต่อไป อีกไม่นานพวกเราก็ตายแล้ว อะไรคือสิ่งที่หลงเหลือไว้ให้คนรุ่นหลังกล่าวขานถึง ความดี หรือความชั่ว
เราจะต้องเลือกเอง 🙏❤️🇹🇭
Thank you Khun Cris and everybody who donate and make this project success and finished. สาธุ อนุโมทนาบุญ
เพิ่งเข้ามาเจอช่องนี้ รู้สึกเลยว่าแม้คุณจะเป็นคนต่างชาติ แต่หัวใจคุณให้แก่ประเทศไทยแล้ว ยินดีต้อนรับสู่ครอบครัวคนไทย เราคนไทยพร้อมสนับสนุนคุณ ขอให้คุณประสบความสำเร็จในสิ่งที่คุณกำลังทำและส่งผลให้ชีวิตของคุณพบแต่ความสุข ด้วยรัก จากคนไทย
You are the best! What you did for the community is soooooo great 🙏🙏🙏
I am Thai. I think Thais are bless to have to in Thailand too.
Fantastic! Well done Chris and all involved, you truly are an inspiration 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As the Thais would exclaim in appreciation, “Sathu Sathu Sathu,” I congratulate everyone involved for this greatest giving. May you all be blessed for your blessed hearts.

Great video Chris. Have to agree the Thai’s are welcoming and friendly to foreigners. Keep the channel promoting Thailand.
Satu Satu Satu 🙏🙏🙏 awesome to see bless you All
Hi Chris, I really appreciate the quietness of the Thais. I've just got back from Vietnam and the constant beeping is something I hated out there.. Thais just get on with things in an easy going fashion. Thais are accepting. They're rarely mean or rude to me. I do love staying in Chiang Mai regularly for that reason.
Thank you for your service! After 40 years and 26 trips to Thailand, I never ventured to Koh Samui because I thought it was overrun with tourists. I almost canceled another visit after my favorite quiet beach was invaded by dozens of Chinese tourist buses and my underwater dive into the pristine water was met with jet ski exhaust when I surfaced. But no other country feels like home and I miss my Thai friends and everything that makes it so magical...
ขอบคุณคุณมาก...เราต้องการคนแบบคุณให้มากบนโลกใบนี้...โลกคงน่าอยู่มากขึ้น....แชร์ความสุขให้กับคนอื่นๆ....ความดีและความเสียสละ . ...😇
Thai people say million thanks for you done , it really benefit for community, I appreciated you so much and everybody donate till it over. Satu Satu Satu Chris, you are a very humand with good heart.
Thank you for loving Thailand🇹🇭♥️
I love Thailand 🇹🇭 and Thai people
คุณและหมู่คณะมีจิตใจที่เป็นบุญและมีความกตัญญูต่อผืนแผ่นดินไทย ด้วยความดีเหล่านี้คือบุญทั้งสิ้น ชีวิตคุณจะพบเจอสิ่งดีๆไม่มีตกต่ำ หากเจอสิ่งที่ไม่ดีคุณจะแคล้วคลาด ขออนุโมทนาบุญด้วยนะคะ สาธุ สาธุ สาธุ

Sooo wonderful. This is one of the reasons to be part of the Samui-Community. deeply impressed with tears in my eyes. Thank you, Jörg from Mae Nam
ขอบคุณนะคะคริส และทุกคนที่ร่วมทีมที่ทำสิ่งดีๆให้ประเทศไทย
สำหรับวิถีพุทธแบบไทย อย่างนึง คนใดมีความกตัญญูรู้คุณ ผู้นั้นย่อมมีความเจริญในชีวิต อย่างใดอย่างนึงค่ะ
การให้ไม่ว่ามากรึน้อยคือการละกิเลสในทุกวัน เป็นการมอบให้คนอื่นโดยเต็มใจและยินดี มันจะมอบความอบอุ่นใจทั้งคนให้ผู้รับ
และเรื่องพุทธศาสนายังมีสิ่งที่น่าปฏิบัติตามด้านอื่นๆนอกจากการให้อีกมาก เช่น การมีสติ การใช้ปัญญาที่ไม่เอาเปรียบคนอื่น แต่สามารถพัฒนาจิตใจตนเองและชุมชนที่อยู่ร่วมกัน การมีศีล(การปฎิบัติตัวในแบบธรรมชาติธรรมดาแบบพุทธ 5 ข้อ หากทำได้ชุมชนนั้นจะอยู่ร่วมกันได้สงบ)
ขอบคุณแทนคนไทยด้วยครับ ขอให้สิ่งดีๆ เข้ามาในชีวิตคุณ🙏🙏🙏
