Bum guns bro
Wassup guys. You have to explain the toilet situation to me hahah! Must one use that funny looking hose pipe to clean down there?
U.S. Soldier deployed and looking to go to Thailand for Rest and Recuperation. Any recommendations. Not a big drinker, and just looking to relax and take in the culture.
You can travel another province l live in lampamg
What to do in all countrys:
1) Use your brain
2) Be polite
This is true!
One can use their brain but if one does not know the cultures rules and conduct, off course one will offend/screw up. You are attention seeking. If you don't know the countries rules and customs what good is POLITE? POLITE may be ok for wester standards but in Thailand will get you in big trouble... Your comment was without thought
Fuck you
I used my brain and I believe that's why I'm in Thai jail
3 )dont try to say thai
Great primer I’ll remember the finer points for next time thanks for posting!
Alot of great information that I've never heard of on any other channel. Thanks for sharing.
Aww we are glad you feel that way Stephen !:D
Thank you for this fantastic video. I have learned a lot :)
I really enjoy your videos, and plan on another tours soon. Thanks for the Tips...
Fantastic and insightful video. Thank you so much. A lot to remember!
It is a lot! But its ok Thai people are super nice! You will be ok!
Thank you so much indeed guys for such informative & educational video. We all appreciated!
Aww thank you so much! We hope it helps people!
Thanks for making this vdo. V. Helpful. I love how you both complement and complete each others sentences.
Aww haha thank you so much!
I'm loving your videos. Beautifully made, great content and nice people. Well done and cheers.
Thank you so much Bobby ! Means a lot to us !:D
Love watching your guys travel trips! Keeps me motivated to continue to make mine!
Aww so happy you are traveling and enjoying it!
Glad I saw this before going. Thanks for putting out this info!
Of course! Thank you for watching!
I have been to Thailand a few times and this is a great review with lots of food for thought! Love your channel btw.
Thank you so so much!
And a lot of smoke and smokers
Excellent video of things not to do in Thailand. Thank you for your wisdom on these issues
Interesting to hear bout the flag usage on clothes and what not. Great tips, definitely a few I wouldn't have known!
So cool guys! It is something so different!
Actually that was one of the biggest moments this year so far. I had my birthday on naka bucha day and we went to the temple. I’ve never done that before. I knew that i have to take off my shoes. One of the monks seen me struggle getting out of my shoes ( I’m in a wheelchair and have special shoes that i need to even pass the entrance. I didn’t even expect him to talk to me ( in English!) but after he seen me even trying he said "buddha understand". This will be unforgettable for me. A really special moment for a farang who is only a guest in the country
I’m going there in May, thank you for the tips! So helpful😊
Hope it helps!
Thank you too the both of you. Great information!!!!
Aww of course! Thank you for watching!
Great. Thank you so much for attention to make the valuable video to tell everyone about our Thai culture and behavior. You two are so nice. Love you.
Aww thank you so much!
Great Vid.. love the information..the only thing I can pick on is how you say ALL COR HALL lol.. ;) PS i love watching the closed captions.. very funny interpretations of words.
Thanks Eric! We are so happy you are getting useful information from these videos! We are trying to help spread as much knowledge as we can
You guys are seriously awesome people, much appreciated
Tjx 4 very usefull infos.
Cheers Friends 🎸🎸😀
Thank u for ur content! I have a paper I have to write for a college class and it had to do with thailand culture. This video and other of ur videos has made this paper so much easier to write :) thank u again.
Aww that is so so cool! We are so happy that they are helpful!
great video.. I had to share this on my facebook page for others to learn.
Thank you so much! It you find us on Facebook we will be uploading it there soon!
Seriously love how comprehensive your guides are. The toilet paper part definitely keeping that in mind.
YES! Such an important part haha
I enjoyed your video about the DO NOTS. Keep it real keep it funny and keep them coming. I feel educated even in a small way. Upps!
Aww so cool! Thank you so much!
Thank you, we enjoyed this information 😁
Hope it was helpful!
Nice to see you guys are still going strong! 👍. And, 35K subs!! Wow. Coming back in a few weeks for Loi Krathong in C.M. Can’t wait. Hope to see you guys on one of these trips. 🙏
Aww we would love to see you on one of your trips! I hope we can make that happen!
In the 12 years I have lived here this is arguably one of the finest videos I've seen that explains the basics of Thai culture. There are many other things that could have been discussed, but this video hits all the big ones and explained them very well. Although I will say I'm surprised you did not talk about the practice of wai. Perhaps it is because if you screw it up, and most foreigners do, Thais will usually see it as cute and funny, but not offensive.
Thank you David! That means a lot to us! Where in Thailand do you live?
Great job guys i learned alot.
Aww so cool Jon! We are happy you liked it!
It's taking a bit to get caught up on all the videos I watched to all the channels I subscribe to, mostly biking stuff. I love this video. With every video you guys post about Thailand I want to visit even more. The people and culture seem so wonderful.
Aww thank yuo for watching all the videos! Yes Thailand is truly amazing We really love it there!
Excellent information Krub! Every year I travel to Thailand I learn more about the culture and embrace it as my own.
Its a beautiful thing!
The (ice) coffee advice is really good! I love to get some coffee on my way to the subway. Great advice!
Its so so so good!
So interesting...thank you for sharing.
Of course! Thank you for watching Jim!
Hi You 2. Agian great information. Thanks .
Thank you so much Svend!
I knew some of that but learned a few more things , Thanks
Aww thats all we were hoping for! Thank you so much for watching!
💖you guys!!! Great Tips!
I'll be in Thailand July & August 2020! I will remember your tips👍🏽
We hope you have a great trip!
Great informative video. Nice to hear from a Thai nationala about almost everything I was wondering about. This is my 27th time to visit Thailand but the only time i've been in Bangkok more than a day. The hospitality and good nature of Thai people alone have kept ne feeling positive despite being alone on this trip.
I find the Thai people to be genuinely kind and polite. So nice to be here, i hope next time i come visit would be for vacation. Gotta bring the kids next time! Thanks guys
Ahh thank you so much!
This video helps a lot...Thanks
Awesome! We just want to help! Are you traveling to thailand?
I will next year! I have to save first. Talking about saving, do you guys have online jobs to help financially with your travels, or you are using what you've saved?
As always, great work guys and a lot of good information - for first time travellers and likely even for people who have travelled to Thailand multiple times before! The toilet paper thing still gets me now!
hahaha it gets me every time!
Thankyou. We loved Patong in 2017. We are returning October 2019 .3 weeeks this time. We can not wait
Ahh cant wait for more Thai food!
7-11 is amazing in Thailand, everything you need is available, and more! Really enjoyed your video.
I miss Thai food haha
Hi Jimmy ,Tah your information is so very true ,I have been living in Chiang Mai for 5 years now and have learnt some of your does and fonts the hard way ,very very good information for people coming to Thailand, in my 5 years have never had any bad experiences with the lovely thai people ,respect is a good word to remember, great video guys ,cheers
Thank you so much Keith! We really try to give information most people dont know about
YOUR VIDEOS ARE VERY HELPFUL AND FUN
Aww we really try to make them as helpful as possible!
Thanks of sharing this video. ❤️
Thank you for watching!
I love that in Thailand you remove your shoes.
In my house when you enter..I have a BEAUTIFUL Hawaiian sign that says "please remove your shoes Mahalo!"💖💕
Aww Thats amazing!
Thank you so much, can use all the help I can get, 😊😊😊😊😊, Be Safe, Belus Traveller
Thank you Belus ! Glad you found this helpful !:D
I am so much better prepared for my travels now thanks as ever to you guys for the educated advice I have travelled but learnt so many new things from you especially about early morning food and life; believe you are mature and respect everything xxx 30 years ago was different about parties and stuff
Ahh yea we dont party much so we like to deliver as much helpful information as possible
I'm Thai people so proud to watch your this video. thanks for make good video.
Aww thank you so much! We really love having Thai people follow us!
Can't wait for the Philippines version, traveling there soon.thanks guys.anither great video.By the way love Thailand too.
Thanks Darrell! We will make sure to do a video on the Philippines as well!
@@DivertLiving thanks guys,God bless ya.Takecare.
There is some great information in this video. I lived in Thailand for almost 8 months & visit again and again and I had NO IDEA that it was frowned upon to eat strong smelling foods (other than obviously durian) on the bus / boat etc.
From a locals eyes it is! Thats why i think this video is so much different then most because Tah is a Local :) So happy you liked it!
Is this really a thing? If you get someone on the MRT who's eaten Som Tum they stink the whole carraige out! If it is a thing it's not a Foreigner specific problem
learnfrenchable I am local and I really feel offensive for ‘it isn’t Foreigner specific problem’. It’s inconsiderate for other human beings, Thai or not. Considerate is Thai core value. Well, it maybe difficult to understand.
When my thai wife and I plan to go somewhere to see anything in Thailand we always have a plan B in case closed or some unplanned problems. In Thailand you can't let spoiled plans spoil your day. Be flexible. The touching the head thing is very true about people you don't know or not friends with but if close friends or girlfriend or boyfriend it's Okay. Great video, thanks.
This Channel is Awesome
Aww thank you Pan !:D
Very good and useful video 😎
Aww thank you so so much!
You guys are awesome
Good information
wow good to know Thanks ..I hope someday to visit Bangkok Thailand
Ahh you will love it when you do!
Really. Good information
Thank you so much!
Good cultural advice!
Thank you!
Excited to visit Bangkok next week!
We hope you have a great trip!
Great Video
Very well done more please.
Thank you Eugene ! Working on that !:D
Nice video! I'll be going to Thailand for the first time next month and this is useful 😀
So cool! We are so so happy this is helpful! Dont forget to download your checklist for free in the description! Its actually really helpful!
Thank you guys !!
Thank you! Hope it helps!
You two are both so cute! I wish you guys nothing but the best! Keep posting! How about a video of how you guys met? Jimmy! What was your first impression? Tah is super cute!!!
Aww we have a video kinda how we met but you will have to go way way back for it! hahaha
When I was in Koh Samui in 2004, I tried to use a bum-gun for the first time in my bungalow but I missed my bum and ended up spraying the ceiling. I was guilty of flushing toilet paper in Thailand; I made sure I flushed them in smaller pieces than what I would flush in the states. Thank God, I never clogged any toilets there! Nice video guys! Thumbs Up.
Thank you Kevin! I guess the small pieces might work fine! When are you going back to work on that aim!? hahahaha
great video!
thank you !:D
Your videos are very helpful. We are planning a trip soon. I was trying to download your travel checklist to Thailand but I was not able to add it to the cart. Any suggestions? Thank you again. I think we will be ready, thanks to you.
If you send an email we can take care of it for you. Sorry you had issues:( info@divertliving.com
Sawatdeekrap: I always where I travel to, I have respect the local costumes and adapt on the local system.
And show respect to the local people.
Also I talk somme Thai verry good, the understand me ,so its good I thinking. Touching the head, always as ask permision, And never puth your feets to people. I always ask Thai Friends about correct Thai behaviuor. Thanks so much for this splendid video information, have a happy long all of you.
Very good!
Wow! What an informative video. Now I understand the Thai dramas I watch better. I always ask myself why don't people speak plainly instead of always saying I am sorry and being deferential to the other person. Thanks so much. Great video.
Of course! Thank you for watching!
This makes me miss Bangkok so much and so many similarities to my country Malaysia too! 😂
We are neighbor !:D
Drying is an issue though but I agree it’s probably more hygienic
Yes. thailand and malaysia are very similar. Same stupidity.

We love them so much!
I love the "bum gun" in Thailand :) also one day we were taking a taxi and my thai girlfriend knew the direction we are going is completely wrong....but she did not wanted to offend the driver because he was too old :) I love Thailand. Keep the videos coming, like cold ice Leo beers :)
hahaha LEO!!! I miss LEO haha i love this comment Cosmin! Thank you for making me laugh at the end!
very good work. :D
Thank you, these are different things not to do than what's on the web. Please do more of these. I'm a very respectful person to other cultures and people. A person being rude really makes me extremely mad.
awww thats what we were going for!
Nice thanks
Of course! Hope it helps!
Woooh v important to carry tissue every where. Good tips
Thank you so much!
Haha...clogging the toilet at Tah's house!! The bum gun was awkward at first but now I miss it..haha and TP or tissues are part of my travel essentials in my backpack when traveling...Great video and entertaining as well...
Thank you so much! haha i didn't think the toilet would clog!
You can order a bidet on Amazon.com to attach to your toilet.
ยินดีต้อนสู่ประเทศไทยครับ welcome to thailand
Okay, so next time I would be in Thailand, I would be very careful. I pledge, I will try to follow rules of Thai culture. Good lecture.
Thank you! We just want to help travelers understand and respect the local ways.
ridiculous advice, if you're not upsetting anyone in your own country with your actions you won't upset anyone here either, don't touch strangers on the head is good advice in any country. Come to Thailand, relax and enjoy yourself
I'm going to Thailand next week and this video is VERY useful. Thanks guys.
Awesome! So happy this can help you!
Sawasdee krap! Khob khun mak krap for the video. I have been going to Thailand since 1999 for Muay Thai. My wife and I are bring a couple of friends with us and the guy is rather difficult at times. Im trying to prepare him for this trip by teaching him cultural norms and whats not to be done. This video will help him realize its not just my idea, but the truth. Always worried about a short temper or over haggling with people. I will probably do most of it as he doesnt speak any Thai, however there will be times he will do his own.... Anyways thanks again! heading over in April /2019 for 3 weeks vacation then they will leave and I will go and train some more muay thai! Khob khun krap! jing jing!! La gon
That girl with guitar from Chiang Mai is a LEGEND
Nice👍
Thanks!
OF course! Thank you!
can you make jimmy eat some somtam pet mak mak or try some real typical foods like kanom jin instead of moo ping? nice channel enjoying some insights into thailand that are difficult to see without the connection you have.
Ahh we will try it the next trip!
ขอบคุณค่ะ
“Bum Gun” lol never heard that before. Love it! I installed one in my US home after visiting BKk. So much better than toilet paper and better for the environment also saves you $.
They're the best things ever haha
I live thailand thank you for travel my country (who is thai like this bros)
I am not thai but i like this!
Consideration for others in America is rare I can't wait to go to Thailand ☺️
Caring loving couple
Your video make me miss Bangkok very much
Ahhh we miss BKK so much! Mainly Moo-ping haha
@@DivertLiving we spend 6 days in bangkok, but it's not enough. BKK is so amazing
Interesting.
Thank you very much!
as far as tossing the used paper in the toilet, i'm pretty used to that living on the Mexican border. same deal there. no bum gun though. hey, guys, how about some tips on PI on these same lines. would be good for comparison . thanks for the hard work bringing us these.
Jimmy, don’t feel bad. I did the same at my wife’s parents house in the Philippines. It was a nightmare. Let’s just leave it at that. Thanks for the video guys. Can wait to go back to Thailand. 😍
Ahahaha Thank you! Lets hope it doesn't happen again!
@@DivertLiving you see Jimmy, not sure if this is true but i think that all SE Asia toliets are very weak when it flushes and can flush the toilet paper down since most of them or all uses the little sprayer or the bucket with the handle on it to rinse off. We who lived in US most or all lur life are used to toilwt paper amd flushing them. Lol. But yeah, that was a embarassing moment but my wofe and her family played it out where it was normal and made me feel ok not embarrassed even though in my head i was like, DANG IT! This is the most embarrassing thing ive done here in SE Asia. Hahahahaha 😅😂😂😂😜
At the end of the video where are those mountains. thank you.
We were on a road trip to the north of the country when I 1st encountered a squat toilet. I have a bad knee and knee straight away this wasn’t going to be an option. Sadly as you get away from the city they are far more prevalent. 😂 that was a very interesting yet uncomfortable trip. I think something else to mention is personal space, in Europe and USA people like to have a certain degree of space between them and the next person while in Thailand people will walk or stand in very close proximity to one another.
Yea this is so true! If you have a bad knee i can only imagine how much more difficult this could be! Have you found a way to deal with it?
Divert Living yeah, I hold it lol until I can find a more suitable big. 😂😂😂
9:20 - Beautiful shot of the night market!
Thank you ! Such a vibrant one !:)
loved your Philippine videos
Aww thank you so much!
