I went and on my first day I went out at 2am not knowing everything closes.. LB grabs my arm from the shadows.. tight grip but I wear sneakers in case and LB was in heels
My takeaway? Don't get drunk, don't get mad, don't fall in love, don't look like you have money and don't be stupid. The first time I went to a place with bar girls / gogo dancers, I was stupid, and I fell in love. Fortunately, I had done my homework, I managed to keep my wits about me enough to tell her that I was out of money, and she vanished on me. After that first time, I was never that stupid again. I think every guy who has gone his whole life with no female attention will be completely unprepared for that first time. It's something you've got to experience and get through, and hopefully, nothing really bad happens to you.
I think guys should experience the game in other countries where it's more transactional, cut and dry first before Thailand. The act girls put on there compared to other places is next level.
So what you're saying is it's definitely not worth going to Thailand, Cambodia or Philippines unless you are strictly visiting the country side , museums or a planned event. And never go into the cities. Lmao gotcha
Been over 100 times to Thailand since 1994. Not once, have I ever had trouble. I find 90% of thai people very accommodating & very helpful. Stunning country, beautiful culture.
I agree with everything that you said. I've been here for a while myself but it doesn't mean that these things doesn't happen. There are good and bad people everywhere.
I had been planning moving to Pattaya for several years..planned on next year 2025..I'll be 70 in fair health but what you said:(no one else has) if you are alone and medical is inevitably, will at sometime become prevalent. More research'n is need thanks bunches for keeping it real.
I am there for a day. Long story short I’m on a cruise with my mother (Asia cruise things she wanted do for years & dad won’t go) & we do 2 nights at local port. One day in Bangkok but it’s expensive and tiring. So day 2 she was gonna stay on the ship and I was going into Payatta. Hopefully it’s not dangerous by day time? Really I’d just love a nice bar to chill out at and maybe do a bit of swimming.
I had these same speeches done while I was in the Navy by the older experienced NCOs, I had a few near misses but those speeches saved me- Thank god for people like yourself who give this information out! Whats the name of your bar, I will have to stop by next year for vacation to have a few drinks and BS about Motorcycles!
The worse of the worse . Many times I have seen fantastic acts of honesty. Bar girls running after customers who have left their phones in the bar. I even saw a man passing a bar dropping a wad of notes as he was walking past a bar the bar girls sat in the bar picked up the notes and gave them back to him. Find some nice bars smile and treat the people with respect the odd tip or drink now and again is well appreciated and you will be well respected and looked after.
Cheers for the videos I hope you are doing well, pressure must be on sometimes making videos. I wish you success and 'practice what you preach' good ol Patts has had many a good man, ie 2 becoming 3 🤩
I can't think of one place in the world that I've been where its a good idea to get blackout drunk and something bad doesn't happen to you. More often than not, you're ok in the US, UK and from what I've heard, France and Australia. I'd watch my drinks in Pattaya if it gets out of your sight, don't finish it. I don't trust strangers of any gender, ANYWHERE
You would be okay here in Canada. As long as you are not driving. If you're drunk out in the streets and cops approach you, they will most of the time look out for your well being. Ask you if there is somewhere for you to go sleep, advise you to call a taxi or if someone can come pick you up.
Is there a base camp ⛺️ Set up in the said country.?? If not I think that is a great idea like yourself… To set up a understanding camp for the tourists Like in Las Vegas.. and Atlanta city ..
I worked with a pipe fitter many years ago up in the shetland island on the gas plant, this fella frequented Thailand rather often and funnilly enough this man went by the name of Mac as well... Is this your father haha
Thank You for Your video. I had an experience in Krakow , I know : not far. Someone litterally dragged me into the place. Telling me , "this is a gentlemans club" I said : "I am no gentleman" ( I am into architekt ; construction and buildings) But they managed to charge me for 5000 kr , equal to 450.- Euro for 52 seconds. I was a fool!!
Another brilliant video pal. You are the messiah for our young lads exploring Pattaya and south east Asian party land resorts. Wish had you around 30 years ago as you would have saved me a fortune 😂😂
I sort of didn't want to watch this video because I knew that it would be full of horror stories. But I watched it anyway because I thought that it would contain some good information. What a hell some people have ended up in. Thanks for telling us all this awful episodes of life.
I know there are some popular places but it happens at bars in NYC also... tourist have to be careful unless you are with a tour group which can minimize the risks.
Brother you have an excellent channel and provide great information that will help a lot of people. You have a good heart to tell it like it is. I'm a new subscriber and will definitely buy you some coffee! 👍
I've never been there myself, but I heard that you never tell the Pattaya locals that this is your first visit! They will try to take advantage of your naivete!
awesome video mate ! not sure if you remember me but I met you few weeks back at the opening night of the Las Vegas Beer hall on Soi Diana. I was with Sam and Lele. Oh, and I'm Cookie from Sam's video about the DISGRACEFUL Aussie in Pattaya haha ! Keep up the good content my man.
@@mactvtravel ..... haha. Aye mate, back home for a few weeks now which sucks. But already planning next years trip so hopefully you're still about and we can down many many beers together ! And possibly more content !!
This is a really interesting video but I have a strange question. Its probably an obvious one but I’m going to ask it anyway since I’ve never been to Thailand or out of the United States. Do you ever see tourist women in those bars or is it mainly men?
@@mactvtravel I appreciate the reply, thank you. Is it safe for women to go to bars there? Or is the area more geared towards men? I've always been curious about bars in other countries.
why did you get fired from the bar? after watching your vids it has been super informative and entertaining and has given me a real strong feeling to use my savings to take a month or twoo off in thailand. keep up the awesome work dude. Ps : if you ever need free to use eletronic music to use for your videos hit me up and i will give you my personal details. I am a producer and musician.
unfortunately all of these cases are an age old story, this type of things was happening in the late 80's when i started visiting SE Asia, as you said you can only warn some people
As an old guy, love watching these vids.😂 Absolutely NOTHING new here. Been there, done that before these people were born!😂😂😂😂 Have tons of stories that make these stories sound like a Disney tale😂😅😂😅
during my 2 months a lot of people died, saw a body on the beach. I always wonder what the f ppl are up to, to end up like that. a lot of them where "voluntarily falling" off balcony to be fair but still kinda dark, never been to a place that small with that many deaths.
That’s nothing a British guy I knew in Cambodia went to prison for murder but he didn’t actually do it, the person died from an overdose. He still got 10 years though. It’s a long story but I could have been implicated too, fortunately I had enough judgement to not become involved
Thx for the video (great for newbies) but what's the name of the bar you manage? I'm actually a little surprised that that info isn't front and center. It'd be great to see you and to buy you a drink!
I had a girl and we went to bars and clubs and she brought a friend.. she actually bought her own drinks and she bought her friend drinks.. I was very surprised when she bought me a drink.

Respect: That's the key word here! Keep respectful and treat locals with respect!
This guy is 🔥...... I like your content about awareness and in general how to live life in a new country
Hi Mac I just discovered your channel, finally someone telling the truth, I live in Pattaya for 20 years already and you said it all.
Thanks and welcome
Cheers for the videos I hope you are doing well, pressure must be on sometimes making videos. I wish you success and 'practice what you preach' good ol Patts has had many a good man, ie 2 becoming 3 🤩
Quality video's bro, keep them coming. Subbed!
Cool edits, man. Great
Tight work.
Amazing editing skills, mate! Kind regards from Europe, Croatia!
@11:10 ... Woah ... that little girl behind you at the snooker table ... she can TELEPORT !!
I really love your vlogging style and the editing. You'll soon reach 100K ...

Just watched your videos for the first time your last 3) and they were excellent buddy, really enjoyed them so keep em coming as you are natural

Keeping a cool head and treating people with respect are the main rules. "Got to have a good vibe." - Bob Marley.
Very good mate, I’ve been coming since 1990, same same
Great vid … I’d love to work with you there 💪
Check out my latest vid, details are there 👍
@@mactvtravel of course it is my favorite travel spot and hopefully I’m looking to move there in the next few months
If you drive a car, your own, or a rental, get a dash cam! Locals will lie and blame you, no matter what actually happened. Video proof is gold.
Thanks for sharing. Keep it up.
Good advice man thank you.
Love your videos. Very informative..
Is that a Rangers bar in the background @3:00? Going to Pattaya in June for 3-6 months would be good to catch a few games while I'm there😁
Is there a base camp ⛺️
Set up in the said country.??
If not I think that is a great idea like yourself…
To set up a understanding camp for the tourists
Like in Las Vegas.. and Atlanta city ..
Good explaination. Thanks
When i travel I spend most of my time in the bars where I'm cool with the owners, managers or mamasans.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Great Vid Mac !!
The story you tell around 03:00 involved an American and an Aussie.
And I recall the required CCTV was of course not working.
Riveting! I have to up my game to keep up with this!!!!
Aha your game is already up there bro 😎👊
If you forward your bio to the insurance company at they may reimburse you. It’s worth checking with them before traveling.
Another great video.
Full of info.👍
Thanks mate very informative
Nice content.. I have seen a bit of this..
I worked with a pipe fitter many years ago up in the shetland island on the gas plant, this fella frequented Thailand rather often and funnilly enough this man went by the name of Mac as well... Is this your father haha

the stories are all made up
Best information your ever going to get if out are out eye balling kittens
I know there are some popular places but it happens at bars in NYC also... tourist have to be careful unless you are with a tour group which can minimize the risks.
Great stuff! What bar do you work at? I’m heading there to pattaya with a buddy just to relax, drink, eat.
You can catch me at fire bar Soi 6 on Friday 8pm for the parties, info is in my community tab 👍
Honored you used my thumbnail haha
😂😂 cheers man
Good tips bro

whats ur bar ?. I was there for 8 months last year..
Nice stuff. "Pulling the wool over his eyes" - in my country we says "to soap someone's eyes"
😂
Good advise
excellent advice mate...going for first time in Jan 2025...
If you drive a car, your own, or a rental, get a dash cam! Locals will lie and blame you, no matter what actually happened. Video proof is gold
Damn! With this list you put up and some of other vloggers telling horror stories about Pattaya, you be better off in Las Vegas. Thanks for the info.
What club are you at? I saw you at a club on the 6 in another vlog by that tall guy.
I was there in 1987 and you didn’t fuck with the locals then
Thx for the video (great for newbies) but what's the name of the bar you manage? I'm actually a little surprised that that info isn't front and center. It'd be great to see you and to buy you a drink!
Check out the my mistake in Pattaya video the information is in there 👍
#1 was a common story in Angeles City.... police set ups...
Hi Mac, is there any way I can get in contact with you about moving to Thailand?
Send me an email
@@mactvtravelwhat’s your email address bro??
macauleyhaycock@outlook.com
I've been to Thailand 12 times, never a single problem. I always stay in residential neighborhoods. Never been to a night district.
Ben's story reminds me of a song: "Soldadito marinero"
I go to pattaya for months at a time and this is true
Oh Ben Ben Ben...🙄🫣
Just got back to Pattaya hope to meet you on the 6 🍻
So they have american style healthcare?
Keep it up
.???
I had a girl and we went to bars and clubs and she brought a friend.. she actually bought her own drinks and she bought her friend drinks.. I was very surprised when she bought me a drink.
Great video. Where are you come from ?
🇬🇧
Where is your bar ??
My hotel is in soi 7
I'm coming in April 4 for 6 weeks
add Radon to the list. Very high levels.
Normally I would doubt Ben is a real person but I know lots of shortsighted people that don't think about stuff for longer than 10seconds.
The local 'girls' see foreign men as a xmas turkey
Always get trip insurance
Bottom line, if you are a petty backpacker, instead of a stand up citizen tourist. You will find trouble no matter where you go.
Is it hard to make a good livîng there ? Ive heard some crazy stories.
Dude can I ghire you to be my guide around Pattaya
Email me machaycocktv23@gmail.com
