Because in Thailand he can then take you to court and sue you for defamation. Its the same if you loan someone money, if you tell anyone else that a person owes you money you can be sued.
Sounds like BS to me. If let people walk all over you they will. Stand up for your self. Never pay up front. Use a local that you trust. To make the agreement. Pay after the work is completed. TH-cam has so many stories of there scams. Like everywhere else in the world. Start by holding them accountable.
Yep, Rob was playing it smart. There are already some well known cases of hotels suing guests that left them bad reviews. You take the good with the bad, in Thailand if you like living there... The idea that you’re going to go over there as a Westerner and “start holding them accountable”, is also pretty arrogant and laughable, I must say...
Love your videos ! Your upbeat attitude really counts when you go to a new culture. My question is, how did you get used to the heat and humidity. I was there in October 2019 and it really bothered me.
Good advice brother. lol hey I'm going to see vanilla ice today at sea world Orlando i figured that might make you giggle my life goal is to visit Thailand and meet you cb media and just enjoy the people and land have a good day
Your welcome for the vid idea lol The only reason i suggested cause you said she had lots invested in the shop and i know she has been there since at least oct 2019 when i was there But you are 100% right and i agree, I just thought as of a exception for Fern only not all businesses
Speaking of tips. Do you give tips after a meal or a massage as tipping is not really a thing over there. And if you tip, what is your general rule of how much.
Australia is the same as Thailand as far as trades. You pay a portion upfront so they can buy equipment to do the job as a deposit or for goodwill but generally if you are asked to pay in full upfront then get someone else because we have a lot of cowboys and crooks that if paid upfront will disappear without doing the job. We also have people who pay nothing up front and then won't pay once the job is done. So they are everywhere.
Hey Man, another great vid, Thankyou 🙏. I know your not really big on eating but I have to ask you; do you have any recommendations on authentic pizza in Phuket, like wood fired Napolis style? In Phuket? I remember a place in Patong that had a great oven in the center of the restaurant but that was along time ago. Anyways, you should hit the restaurant scene just that bit more often and of course share your experiences with up. Keep up the good work man and I’m happy you enjoy Thailand so much. 👍
Is it true Rob that they don't charge for labor in Thailand? For instance my girlfriend in Thailand just had air conditioning unit installed. She just paid for the unit, no labor charges. Unlike usa 🇺🇸 they charge for installation & equipment. Probably for just thai people not for farang! BTW quess who paid for the A/C unit! Farang...🤪
I have a girlfriend in Thailand that I help sometimes because of the pandemic, she's out of work. And I don't expect to be payed back. But there are other ways to be paid back too! Ha ha ha,,,,,,,
“Loaning” money as a foreigner in Thailand, or anywhere in SE Asia, is not a good idea (as you’re finding out)... Either give it freely as a gift or just don’t give it at all. Like Rob said, Thais don’t really “save” like we do in the West. Planning/Saving for the future is not really given much thought. I think that kind of thinking is a carry over from Buddhism, that focuses on being present in the “here & now.” Unfortunately this kind of outlook sets them up to be ill equipped financially for situations like global pandemics, lock downs and repayment if personal loans.... Just the way it is over there though and of course I’m also speaking in generalities. There will always be those who fall outside the norm and do save. Take the good with the bad. 🤷♂️

Rob, the same thing happens here in the States. Never pay a handyman in full til the job is done.
Never pay up front in Thailand or anywhere. Once someone has your money you are no longer important.
the only place I agree to do that (and it's mandatory to do so if you want the service) is at soapy massages.
What sort of massage is that I have heard of tie massage e t c
@@trevorhoward06 you might want to google it
Good advice rob thanks
Not a thief? He stole money did no work why would you say he's not a thief?
Because in Thailand he can then take you to court and sue you for defamation. Its the same if you loan someone money, if you tell anyone else that a person owes you money you can be sued.

We kinda have a system up here in Chang Mai but only for the places that have stayed open a long time

Restaurant: 10% is the norm. Not 20% like in the West. They will be happy with 10%

I never lend money but I tip everyone a little bit.........Sal : )

Macaroni Cheese & pork chops. I would never have thought of that. 🧀 + 🥩 = 😊😊😊
Why such an exaggerated look of distraught every time a vehicle passes by? You're next to a road, not in a video recording studio. Cheers...
No muffler on bikes are very loud
Enjoy your Moo Chops LOL

You are correct.
If you hire a handyman for a job buy the materials yourself and make sure they don't walk off with any leftovers. Pay for labor only
Hi Rob what happen between sunny and you cause in sunny videos he don't wanna talk about it love u both guys keep on doing what u do CHeers
you can not say hes a thief but we do
Why did you not have the police involved regarding the handyman, is that not loosing face for Thai society 🤔 as giving very bad view.
GOOD❗😂👌👍❤🙏
I don't think Rob knows what a thief is
I don’t think you know how to spell thief. 😂
@@tallguyforfun 👍👍😂🤣
With Maybe the exception of Buying a Bottle of Alcohol and leaving it behind the Bar (Depending on the bar) 5555
The idea of buying coupons is great especially for your favourite bar . You can buy for your drinks and when you get back you can enjoy your drinks
I love the information you provide bud. Thanks for the life lesson for those who are looking to visit.
