      Which company did you use to get a scuba diving certificate? And how much? I always want to get one. Even though I am an Asian-American, my mom is Thai and my dad is Chinese. My mom's mom (grandmother) still lives in Thailand, and I will visit my grandma, with my parents next summer (2023).

      @@Happydude1183 Good question. TH-cam is my job. Making videos is the only way I afford to travel. I get paid by Advertisers like Manta Sleep in this video. I also get paid from the ads that TH-cam runs on my videos. Whenever you see “skip ad” that ad made me a very small amount of money. But it adds up over thousands of views. Hope this helped!

    I love the cook. He says to be calm and patient when cooking. He says that prepared foods bought from a store won't have the same good taste and aroma as food that is home cooked. He reminds us it's not just food, but that food feeds the soul and is an expression of culture. Congratulations on your diving certification Ethan James!

    I very much appreciate that you included your discomfort and stress from the chaos, Ethan. That hustle you encountered is, in my experience, so typical on the biggest cities in the US as well. Everyone's trying to make a buck. As a tourist, one can be polite without sharing any personal information. And yes, in this world where everyone has a camera, it *is* very interesting how many objections to recording you received. In the future, would you mind discussing local etiquette tourists should know when traveling to Thailand? Also, what are you using to protect your camera in underwater shots? I'm really loving this Thailand series and am so excited to see more!

    Also, for what it's worth - "When in Rome...." "When in Thailand ..." When served a meal with rice on the side, Thais will first eat a bit of rice as a thank you to the gods, an honorific for the harvest. Also, just as eating peas on a knife is considered offensive and rude in the US, so is eating with a fork in Thailand. Lots of foreigners do it and by now the Thais just ignore it, but try eating with a spoon - it's what Thais do.

Most people in Thailand are not greedy and are really friendly. I dated a Thai guy once and he was beyond hot but he was in the closet and it was not my thing at the time.
