I originally wanted to show paddy around taking him on a tour of lower Sukhumvit I did for my kids several years ago 'A tour of organised crime in the big city'. Bangkok is ground zero for a lot of things and to understand Bangkok, you actually get a lot of good local and geopolitical lessons. After recording, we realised that putting that stuff on a TH-cam clip wouldn't be wise on many...many levels, so luckily with Paddy's genius you have what you see here 😀
Thank you...in hindsight, it was a bit of a pent up brain dump after 18 years of running my CTF programme, but in it I tried to demistify Thai - and debunk many of the truisms that can lean to turning off people from learning.
No, he can't speak 30 languages fluently . That is simply impossible. He can speak a smattering of all those, enough for it to sound legit. Can he understand a high level conservation talking about nuclear physics in Hebrew you think, or whatever language he claims to be fluent in. Bullshit artist extraordinaire
@@jeromestavrosyeo Just because to you it’s simply impossible, you assume it’s impossible for others ? Have you seen a child prodigy on TH-cam ? A math whiz ? A child musician ? Clearly , not only are you ignorant , but you are also very rude to label him “ BS artist extraordinaire. “ He never claimed to be fluent in Hebrew, so your example of this ancient language is irrelevant. Being fluent is subjective. And in my opinion, as long as you are able to converse coherently with the public, that’s fluent. Nuclear physics, medical science, rocket science, quantum physics….. has nothing to do with fluency !
He speaks fluently 4 languages and have some knowledge in others. It is more appropriate to say that. He is not fluent in all of them , which is normal.
@@chatmongkhonpakthongchai9734 He speaks fluently much more than just four languages, he is fluent in at least 15 languages. Just take a look at his channel.
It's such a change to see someone actually being able to have a conversation in the languages they claim to speak, compared to the new fad which is to say "I can speak 20 languages", but in reality all they can do is say "Hello" and "How are you" in 18 of those 20 languages, lol
One of the things I love most about my hometown is that there are so many foreigners here and we all mostly get along very well. Bangkok life is all the richer for the diversity
Though Stuart is a genius polyglot and I am not a genius anything, he still gives me confidence that if he can speak 30 languages fluently I can put my nose to the grind stone and learn to speak Thai at the least at a more comfortable strong intermediate level.. which is my goal. Thanks guys.. very interesting and inspiring!!
That was an awesome vid with Jay. I do really like this in-depth content. You are so kicking ass compared to other farang TH-camrs with day in my life vids on repeat. Keep it up Paddy. As you know I’ve been a long time fan 😊
I’d be fascinated to see Jay learning some new language in an FMRI machine, and compare that with both an everyday person learning, along with a ‘regular’ polyglot. Such a cool guy who is clearly not only an ultra-polyglot, but a real conversationalist. Great watch.
Very eye opening! I am a native Thai myself and those Sukhumvit areas are places in Bangkok I never thought I would have any business in and had no idea whats going down over there! This vdo could have been 3 times longer!
It’s true what you said about walking around Sukumvit and you may not meet a single Thai! Even I myself am half Thai half Filipino! Hope you are enjoying bangkok ❤ 😊
As your southern neighbour I'll put Sukhumvit top on the place to be in in Bangkok. Easier with so many Malay speakers around, and easier to find halal food with Malay and middle eastern restaurants to choose from. Stuart kecek Kelate sikit keroh la deh.
Just because a person is fluent in a particular language does not necessarily imply that person is proficient or has mastered that language. Of course you always can fool or impress people who are completely clueless about that particular language. A better way of putting is to speak fluently at a different level. To know a language , one must have an enormous amount of vocabularies. For instance , like in politics, religion , history , anthropologies etc . Each has its own vocabularies. Suppose a Thai historian comes to you and start Talking about a Thai history in depth. Are you certain you can handle it?
Find your video its very interesting. Great job Paddy! Your thai is really good . I want to speak Thai fluently like you but still could not lol. Hope to meet you someday. I am indonesian that living in Bangkok
0:26 or so - there is a typo in the Thai subtitle not หนัก but นัก in the word นักท่องเที่ยว (tourist). At least that's what my dictionary says. Just started watching this video, but am going through the subtitles to help me learn Thai.
That was awesome. Necessity drives language acquisition. The Burmese and anothers don't have any choice. My ESOL teacher pal tells me there are people from the Middle East/central Asia who've been studying English for years in Glasgow, and their Greek - from a short stay in a Greek refugee camp years ago - is better than their English. They can get by in Glasgow without English, but not in Greece without Greek.
My friend spoke 45 languages - with one word! Heneken, Fosters, Guinness, etc.....everywhere he went in the world every Bar understood him! In England be careful - always ask if the person speaks Pigeon English! The most International language is Sign Language Falange....Krap krap , krap!!!

was a blast doing that tour paddy.... shame we can't put the unedited version out! 😂😂😂😂
Amazing how do you learn all languages and do not forget them.
The legend!!
Plot twist: undeited version had you guys going down Soi Cowboy speaking lots of "body language" 😜😂

สุดยอด พูดไทยนี่โคตรชัดเลยครับ Super awesome!
Can’t believe he speaks this many languages ! Go Stu you are the 🐐
Stu is AWESOME in so many ways, he earnes my deepest respect.
I highly recommend Stuart’s book ‘Cracking Thai Fundamentals’ it is unique in its approach and a great resource. Really enjoyed this one Paddy!
Great book and as you said, in his style. Lots to take away from Stuart’s book if a learner of Thai, which I am.
Thank you...in hindsight, it was a bit of a pent up brain dump after 18 years of running my CTF programme, but in it I tried to demistify Thai - and debunk many of the truisms that can lean to turning off people from learning.
@@StuartJayRaj Great book and I revisit this many times as my Thai language learning increases, I always find something new to think about.
does this book exist online, im in a rush to get it (meaning to buy online and read it on the phone)
Terrible resource he overcomplicates concepts. I purchased the book as well, and it was a waste of money for me personally.
Really amazing. His Thai tones really clear and distinct.
Stuart or the host ?
Referring to Stuart. Also kudos to Paddy, damn good also. Personally, can't always hear clear distinction in tones esp Thai spoken @ normal speed.
More with Stuart please let's hear what languages he speaks and learn about his methods. Thanks Paddy.
Being able to speak 30 languages is a SUPER POWER 💥

Thanks Paddy for this enlightening content - the Burmese vendor was so humble , god bless him .
Yes, unlike SJR and Paddy himself....🥱
Very inspiring, his Thai is like a native. He should be a coach/trainer for anyone who want to be a polygrot.
Very eye opening! I am a native Thai myself and those Sukhumvit areas are places in Bangkok I never thought I would have any business in and had no idea whats going down over there!
This vdo could have been 3 times longer!
ไม่เคยไปเหรอครับ ผมผ่านแถวนั้นประจำ เกือบจะหาคนไทยไม่ได้ แถวใกล้ๆ สถานีพร้อมพงษ์กับทองหล่อเกือบจะไม่มีคนไทย ค่าเช่าสูงมากมีแต่จีน เกาหลี ญี่ปุ่น กับชาวตะวันตก
@@rickfreunde5957 เคยแค่ขับรถผ่านครับ
@@thaifob1 ลองแวะไปดูครับ เดี๋ยวจะว่าผมมั่ว แต่คนจีนตอนนี้น่าจะน้อยลง
เพราะคนไทยสื่อสารภาษาอังกฤษไม่ค่อยได้ เลยเจอแต่ต่างชาติ
Bloody fantastic, goodonyapaddy
He's such a character!!!
Wow, I can't believe there is a lot of foreigners living in BKK. Things have changed a lot since I left Thailand 30+ years ago.
great episode and awesome to see you with Jay out and about. Lots more of this please if possible. Its inspiring stuff
You should do longer video with Jay with more languages.
Top video Paddy, need more collabs with him.
Great, but too short! Could have happily watched this stuff for an hour.
This calls for a part 2
Stuart jay is really impressive. I follow his channel for awhile!
I can’t stop smiling while watching your VDO. Love your content so much.
Thanks!
Thanks so much for the generous support Siriwadee!!
😅I so happy,crezy 😅😅and funny with Jay spoke many languages 😅😅
It’s true what you said about walking around Sukumvit and you may not meet a single Thai! Even I myself am half Thai half Filipino! Hope you are enjoying bangkok ❤ 😊
Very cool! I will stay near here on my next visit.
So many good episodes, Paddy, but this is one of my favorites!
Appreciate the time pit into this video and some amazing stories! Couldn’t believe the 7-11 encounter
As a Thai… ยอมครับ เก่งจริง 👍🏻
คนนี้โครตเก่งหะ พูดได้ชัดด้วย รู้สึกว่าเขาเคยสอนอาจารย์อดัมด้วยนะ
แถมแม่นประวัติศาสตร์กว่าคนไทยอีก ที่มาของภาษามีหลักความเข้าใจทำให้ภาษาไทยเข้าใจง่ายกว่าเราเรียนกับคนไทยด้วยกันอีก
พูดไทยชัดมาก
great video, Paddy! 🙂
As your southern neighbour I'll put Sukhumvit top on the place to be in in Bangkok. Easier with so many Malay speakers around, and easier to find halal food with Malay and middle eastern restaurants to choose from.

Heck yea!! STUARTT JAY the legend!!!! but why is this video so short? it should be 30 mins at least
Great video. Love it. Thanks.
Great video and super great to see you in action Stu
คุณพูดภาษาไทยได้ดีมาก ยอดเยี่ยมจริงๆ
อยากเจอคนไทยต้องนอกสุขุมวิท เอาจริงสมัยทำงานที่ กทม.ก็ไม่เคยรู้ว่าฝั่งสุขุมวิทว่าจะไม่เจอคนไทยเลย เพราะเราเองอยู่แถวรามจนมาอยแถวพระราม 9 และทำงานแถวสามย่าน
Superrr🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
ผมเป็นคนไทยแท้ๆอยู่บ้านอีกฝากของ อยู่กรุงเทพฯฝั่งตะวันตก ผมนี่ไม่ค่อยได้มา ย่านสุขุมวิท ได้ดูคลิปนี้คือต่างชาติเยอะมากจริงๆครับ ว่างๆมาเที่ยวกรุงเทพฯ ฝั่งตะวันตก หรือฝั่งธนบุรี บ้างนะครับ
พูดได้หลายภาษามากๆ สุดยอดค่ะ
สุดยอดมาก พูดเก่งมาก
Very cool Paddy👍
Find your video its very interesting. Great job Paddy! Your thai is really good . I want to speak Thai fluently like you but still could not lol. Hope to meet you someday. I am indonesian that living in Bangkok

impressive video!!! stuart is a super human
I love your videos guys both of you is amazing.
Absolute ledgend
What an impressive guy while I'm stucked in Thai tones 😂
Wow, he even know bahasa kelante. 👍👍
ore kelate ya?
กระทรวงศึกษาควรให้อาจารย์มาเขียนหลักสูตรภาษาให้ไทยจะได้เก่งภาษา
ลองทำคอนเท้นนี้ครับ ใครสามารถทำให้คุณjayตอบโต้ไม่ได้หรือพูดภาษาที่คนjayพูดไม่ได้เอาเงินไป100บาท
Finally in Bangkok as well with whole family.
Excellent video
OMG. I'm Thai but I don't know what we had so many areas in Sukhumvit. I should try to explore on that. :D
He is my idol of polyglots 👍👍👍.
ชอบอ่ะ ....ชอบๆๆๆๆพูดไทยชัดมาก
พูดไทยชัดมากครับ
น้ามาจากประเทสไหนครับ
The Graceland hotel in Phuket also has a bowling alley that has seen better days.
Good for him...
I know a guy that's eaten over three or four different varieties of noodles....
😀
555 ฝรั่งคุยกันด้วยภาษาไทย….😂
คนชื่อสจ๊วตเค้าบอกเค้าเป็นคนไทยนะคะ
Stu is a Legend 💪
I once taught a Thai student whose chosen name was Bowling
มาดูช่องแพดดี้ ฝรั่งแต่ละคนพูดไทยชัดมาก
ก็พอทราบอยู่นะว่าสุขุมวิทเป็นพื้นที่พหุภาษา แต่ไม่ได้คิดว่าจะขนาดนี้ นี่ถือว่าเป็นดินแดนของ อ.เจย์ เลยนะเนี่ย
The little excerpt of him speaking Cantonese wasn't great in regards to his tones (I'm a native speaker) but he can definitely speak it.
เก่งจังเลยครับ👏👏
พะโค พูดมอญครับ
ในฐานะที่เป็นคนไทย little burma ผมนึกถึงแต่จังหวัดสมุทรสาครเลยครับ 555+
Wonder why Stuart isn’t making new videos in his own channel
I love it 🎉❤
wow just wow
He is legend person naa bro
He is go to da legend TV program (Joh Jai/เจาะใจ) too.
ทำยังไงให้พูดได้หลายภาษาขนาดนั้น เป็นความสามารถพิเศษหรือพรสวรรค์หรือการฝึกฝน?
ผมว่าขนาดนี้ต้องมีพรสวรรค์แล้วครับ คนปกติ 2-3 ภาษาก็แย่แล้ว แต่คุณ jay แกพูดได้ 30 ภาษาแถมมีถึง 16 ภาษาที่พูดได้เขียนได้อีก
เค้าน่าจะสมองดี เรียนรู้ด้านภาษาได้ไว แล้วดูแล้วเค้าน่าจะดูเป็นคนต่างชาติในที่ๆเค้าอยู่ เลยมีทักษะอะไรบางอย่างที่มาจากการเรียนรู้ตั้งแต่เด็ก ๆ ดูทรงแล้วน่าจะจีนผสมแขกขาวแล้วโตในไทยนะ คือเกิดมาในสภาพแวดล้อม ที่มัน multi culture หน่อย ก็เลยได้เปรียบคนทั่วไปในการเรียนรู้ภาษาอื่น
เก่งมากครับ

Languages are like music, you can either "hear it" or you can't.
