Never Trust an Alcoholic Taxi Driver (we crashed...twice)
Can you imagine your cab driver makes a pit stop at every second pub to have a drink? This is reality TV at its best.
😂
That MF just called you mayonnaise😂 I'm on the floor rn
And a mouldy beatle break
Next lvl alcoholism right there 😂
leave him alone he just wanted to visit a few friends that just so happen to run pubs
This is literally a half hour documentary about an American and a Burmese guy trying to get drunk on the most dodgy alcohol on earth and then driving in between. I love it.
hahaha
Great content !!😂😂
Burmese bro got that Houndstooth t-shirt on - (Ricky from Trailer Park Boys TV Show character) He's also a perfect version of a burmese Ricky! Lol. Looked like a fun adventure, at least they weren't driving a car... They were mainly endangering themselves more than people around them, LMAO.
Fear and Loathing in Myanmar
cigarettes, 12 shots of "whisky" ,and 3 bags of chips all under a dollar, yet insists on finishing the rubbing alcohol glass of whisky to get the moneys worth lol
Dan's job is clearly to drive tourists to his "friend's" bars.
And he LOVES his job.
Than Zaw brother
Cuz I m from Myanmar
Dan is one of the most honest man. He's an alcoholic but he's sweet.
All Myanmar people like this
If you good one time for Myanmar people
They good for you ten time
he love our myanmar❤
They are nice people
Every one got a poison whether it's alcohol or something else. Pick yours :)
yeah try to marry him and you will get the "sweet" you want
Dan was having the time of his life until they crashed out.
i know it was kinda depressing
Lmao thought he was doin something 🤣
dan like damnnn
What Dan?
@@ncrranger2281 the drunk guy
Perfect example of "the journey is worth more than the destination"
Soo fu"king true
Can you imagine to have a drunk taxi driver for a tour guide in a dangerous country, this guy is genuine.
Prolly a scam of some sort ngl
In Asia I've had drunk, high , chemically altered motorcycle taxi riders, taxi drivers and rickshaw/tuk tuk drivers. For people who drive for a living esp in Cambodia I noticed most of them had huge pupils and talked a lot.
lol myanmar is not dangerous. i was born and raised there. its pretty chill. but now due to the war im not so sure xd ;)
myanmar isnt dangerous lol just stop talking
@@chrislian5047i think he could mean like dangerous roads because the context is he’s driving on roads
Dan was probably the most genuine person that you've met out of everyone.
Idk, I’d have to give that award to Cash (his tour guide in one of the India episodes).
What about the Iraqi guy who bought him a suit? LOL, Dan is the man Id rathef be hanging out with in Myanmar!
I love the fact that you took a punt/risk on the guy on the bike and it led you to a complete adventure that you would have otherwise have missed. Much respect, and thanks for showing this beautiful place and people. Be safe big man! Love from Ireland.
As a burmese, he is a honest one. He tells the true prices no more or no less.
That's right dude I appreciate that .I think that trip he got the best experience 😅
yeah he doesn't rip him off
Absolutely bro 😂
This guy is lucky 😅
You both are mumbling random words of each other language at this point
i guess thats why they say "drubk people are the most honest one?"
Dan after crash, as if it was a planned stop " It's beautiful".
Middle of no where too 😂
Consummate professional.
"LOOK AT THE SEA!"
yes! I see it, its beautiful
..."LOOK AT SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
He is hilarious
ahahahah
With no sun haha
Man. I hope Dan is doing okay nowadays. Feel sorry for that kid
going to go out on a limb here and guess he's probably not doing great
Dan’s whole beautiful country isn’t doing great. There’s a lot of good people with no possibility of finding a job or starting a family. It’s a bad, depressing situation.
@@antonyloc sounds like the united states
i think u mean Thant Zaw
He died few weaks ago, bitten by a snake
How homeboy is still alive is beyond me
cuz he can piss in a bottle on a moving bus in myanmar, full of ppl
Hanging with this guy is like a fever dream
It's like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Pure Gonzo.
Thought the same thing lmao
This is chaos exactly like when teenagers sneak out to drink and have fun😂
How can such a relatable experience be made in only 8 words lol.
yeah right lol
"are you drunk?"
- "Ice island, Ireland"
sounds sober enough to me
Your trust in strangers is either inspiring or highly worrisome 😂😂
I'm both in awe of his confidence with strangers in random places and equally scared for his safety haha It is inspiring though
I know right. Having lived in asia half my life, I'm way more cautious. :D
I agree. Either way, it's awesome to watch.
Why not a little bit of both?
that is literally travelling, you just let go, and see where you land
He is a good man , he says sorry even he is hurt.
That person is innocent. You should meet him again And you'll never forget him in your life Because sometimes things like this will never be forgotten.
He's back in Luke video. Luke did video call to American guy.
As a Burmese citizen I can respect you for hitching a ride with strangers, especially in the current situation. Also, the vlog was hilarious, and your commentary made me feel like I was watching a comedy movie. Keep being awesome my guy 👍
Same
Toor mye got me bruh
Exactly I got hooked to his reaction 🤣🤣
What was the current situation there?
@@Dahk Terrible my guy. Increasing kidnapping and robbery rates, civil war, the whole third world package
"The cost of my Uber is getting my driver drunk" 😭 great chapter in the travels, Dan is a legend
this uber driver has a backup driver lol😂😂😂
@@burmese-hub its fucking insane lmao😂
I like how you are not scared to try ANYTHING. Im really amazed about that, and thats the thing that makes a difference between you and other "travel vloggers". I hope you get even more famous so the only thing you will do is travel with that money and no care!
He so genuine and sincere the poor guy is obviously not well off and he is still so honest and kind i hope he gets a hold on the alchohol such a good dude
And also I loved the sweetness of the drunk guide 🥺 jept saying sorry like a thousand times
This was my favorite episode. This is the episode my fiancé came in and I showed her what I’ve been watching all day.
We laughed so fking hard. Please more content like this
2:53
woaw, this video is a gem. I havent felt this way from watching a video in so long. The humour, the story and the overall wtfness of this video while still being an adventure is an amazing combo.
I had to come back to this video because of how relaxing it is. Really love the vibe in Myanmar!
most of travelling videos are so similar, this is some genuine fucked up experience
This is one of the funniest videos I've watched in a long time. So genuine and so much crazy shit going on; love the raw content
No one on earth has travelling experiences like you do. The best video clips. The funniest. Especially about your time in Burma. Priceless. Simply Priceless. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 👍
I hope dan finds another outlet to be happy. seems like such a genuine guy, all over the world real people are taken over by addictions because they feel so much and reality restricts that
yeah man, you're absolutely right... i agree. it's rough out there.
Well we're the poorest in South East Asia and our civil war and multiple ethnic persecutions has been neglected by the world for 70 years.
No wonder the people in countryside are drunk like this. But these occasional vlogs of my country are sure entertaining 😊
@@nyizaw8335 it sucks dude, you can clearly tell there is so much passion and talent and not enough opportunity! Guess thats reality, i struggle with drinking myself and i have opportunity.
@@michaeledwards6890 I can truly agree with that. We all had to struggle no matter where we are unless we're the 1%.
Dan looks happier than this youtuber though... He's not cursing under his breath saying "fuuuck" "jesus christ" "holy shit dude" every 5 seconds. lmao.
That was maybe Dan's best day of his life.
Best parts
3:37 BobMarley- Everything gonna be alright
15:11 BaSai's nonsense 😂
15:27 Bo Phyu - Mother's beauty
15:52 Slipknot - Spit it out 🔥
17:33 Layphyu -This water this boat
21:24 The way he tried to translate U NyiHtut's 'Asone' lyrics 😄
Glad the world recognizes the charisma and sincerity of Myanmar's alcoholics."
this video will never get old ❤️
Dan has easily been my favorite character so far. Hope you're able to get to Japan soon.
Yea he’s low key a legend 😂so entertaining.
He needs to just stay in Myanmar and make videos for the rest of his life. Or um, maybe not...
Yes! I agree, Danzo is gangster as fuck!
The man's tripping balls by 10 a.m on cocaine peanuts and pineapple moonshine, as he embarks on a hero's quest to the mythical Snake Island. Lmao!! Bruh ......
It’s Than Zaw actually but okay
@@SeegrenNora cool
Dan should make his own TH-cam channel and vlog his daily routine LMAO
It'll have 1000 videos of him drinking liquors
He is sober now@@definitionsupervillain4583
This people are so nice and happy man, very gentle. And you are so funny, love your content
Poor guy.
I even feel sorry for him ... he seems to be not a bad person, even opposite - he seems to be a good and friendly guy,
but alcohol will ruin his life ... sorry for him
What country is this
@@princealmighty5391 Myanmar or Byrma - 2 names for 1 country
@@Zhene4eg thanks
It is a truth for many people in our country. They are good and kind people but without proper education and the bad economy of the country, most just become alcoholics
@@nltk93 very sad to hear this ... I pray the gods to return turism to your beautiful country.
Ahhh takes me back. TH-cam was made for this!! No matter how big you get keep your brand. This is way better then some over produced AI voiced tourist bullshit. Great stuff!!
Totally agree with you, I laughed throughout.
This is already my favorite travel channel on TH-cam after 5 videos. Host keeps authentic and raw. Sorry I prematurely judged you as a hipster. This and your India and Japan are pure entertainment.
Three people on a scooter, all pissed, no foot pegs, no helmet, teeth red from Beatle nut.... I'm subscribing. Great video. Your videos are up there with Harald Baldr or B&B.
too bad b&b and baldr are twisted , creepy sickos and exploit women in 2nd/3rd world countries during their 'adventures'.
This guy would be the perfect travel companion for B&B for a trip to India
B&b stayed for 3 yrs in jaipur India when he just 19 years old.
No one can cover India has him❤🎉.
Bald is a legend but Baldr has a douchy vibe
@@shanghaiffgg There is something in what you say. His latest videos aren't great. I think most people don't like him because of his politics, his right leaning believes... That doesn't work me...
Again I’m Burmese so I want to clear up what Dan said to you.
When he was speaking to the camera around 6:25 and saying boyfriend, girlfriend.
He thinks you’re filming your trip for your gf so he’s talking to the camera saying “hey I’m Dan. Nice to meet you. I really like your bf. He’s a nice guy (referring to you)”.
He doesn’t know you’re filming for TH-cam. He thinks you’re making videos to show your gf when you get home. 😉
Thanks for the translation man !!!
@jf998 do you know what is Dan trying to say here 21:46
@@NotEdith-t9y He is just trying to sing the song (which he was singing in Burmese) in English which might mean something like this "One day when all the sea water will dry up. One day when the sunlight won't shine. One day when you and I will be apart".
Oh my gah this is too cute 🥰
@minnthuta3157 thanks!
watching this makes me miss my Burmese friends in Phuket, theyre so genuine and nice
Dan's tours are the best. Unforgettable experience, great memories and explore Myanmar's best kept secrets. Dan won't rip you off. But he will get ripped.
Absolute craziness!
Bad craziness...
He'll never give us up. He'll never let us down.
@@BluebearymangoHe'll never run around & desert us
@@Bluebearymango ....but he will give you da run aroun'.
i just found this channel its my new favorite
They probably don't see a lot of foreigners, so they wanted to show you around.
You guys crashed, but they did show you a pretty cool spot. Snake Island was dope.
It has been long time since covid , now civil war in Myanmar, no tourists even Tourist attraction place Pagan , Innlay , these places are filled with tourists around the world before covid and civil war , now tourists are rare to see bcoz Myanmar is their government's strict place to visit
Thanks for the amazing and unique videos 😊
I can not stop watching them.

dan interview
Welcome from Myanmar 😊
Welcome to Myanmar ,One of the hidden country as u know treasure can't find easily people are nice!but careful.
Welcome to myanmar 🇲🇲🇲🇲🇲🇲
dude, this is the best travel channel on youtube...absolutely hillarious, i love your vids
Dan is really simple, I like his friendliness and honesty
As soon as that water touched the “Myanmar Liquor,” it became safe to drink, even if it wasn’t before.
This is the most accurate Myanmar travel video I've ever seen (not that everyone is drunk, but if you see the country properly you'll have several wild days like this)
Thanks for showing the true side of Myanmar culture and some kinds of suburban living life, it's been such a great honour of introducing the citizenship of our Burmese people and also the morality and sincere smile on dan's face is priceless and trustworthy like I would not refuse to rely on him for guiding me in Myanmar if I was a foreigner
0:10
I’ve been feeling anxious with all the school stuff lately, but I’m so glad I found your vlogs, especially this one. It’s super fun and entertaining, and it reminded me that the world’s a big place and the journey is what counts. Just wish I’d found it sooner
This video is crazy.. As a local, even I can't hang out with drunk strangers that easily. You are awesome!!
Lol, me too, I am a Burmese Chinese. May be he just didn't know the risks.
@@yuu9258 Pretty sure he knows the risks lol he travels for a living, the difference is the risk is worth the reward to him so he goes along the ride anyways.
@@yuu9258what are the risks?
getting robbed, kidnapped, being left in an unknown place with no belongings - no passport, no money… plenty of risks man
he's drunkard but, if you travel around with a guide, it would cost a lot more, I'm proud of him. I am his fan.
So crazy how everything is recorded except the two "crashes" 💀💀💀💀
It was probably too embarrassing 😭
20:19 everyone almost died but homeboy is worried about beauty of the jungle.
Keep pushing out content and being yourself, you're entertaining!
Thanks my dude
This is literally the best TH-cam travel channel. We need him to get a million followers!
respect to the local guy he's a real one
You're right bro...
I saw this vlog on Facebook and now here to support you. And thanks for choosing to travel our country. The vlog make me laugh and happy.What a crazy day with these two drunky guys but they are absolutely honest and innocent 😇
Yep i agree with you 😊
May I ask from what page?
I like to see comments and his reaction.
I'm Burmese and I wish to hire him as guide lol
This entire video feels like a vivid dream
This is the most Burmese video ever made. Getting lost was all part of the tour, man.
This channel is gonna absolutely blow up. You've got a great vibe my man. Been binging vids for days now.
I agree, came across this channel yesterday and was genuinely shocked at views/subscribers! No doubt over time will grow . Love the vibe!
I love Dan (Thant Zaw) so much and wish him and his country the best! Thanks for making this video!
It's crazy how you trust ppl you don't know, and also I noticed that you rarely refuse food or other stuff and you don't hesitate for one second to put it in your mouth ! Be careful , and thanks for this video, so much entertaining
To be fair I probably shouldn’t have trusted this man lol
@@SmallBrainedAmericanyea your bugging 😂
This is in Myanmar, not USA or Africa. People in Myanmar are very honest and not many crimes there
@@CrimsonAlchemist that’s good maybe Americans should learn something
In myanmar we learn to protect and take care of foreigners. 😊
Shout out to this man Conner.He's literally an amazing guy and his trust on strangers is on the next level too ha ha...I really love this guy. Please come back to myanmar, we're missing you. I love you Conner❤
Bro i just stumbled upon this epic vlog! You've got a perfect mixture of trust, carelessness and at the same time connect genuinely with the locals! Dan is a legend, and has a big heart, burmese locals seem to chill and kind. Subbed.
Damn I hope you gave them a good tip! They tried hard to give you a good time.
I travel a lot but Bro this is one of the realist travel channels ever. Loving this shit!
Damn, I haven't laughed so much in a long time!
I was in Thailand 3 yars ago, and also had a buddy like Dan, also from Mianma, it was so funny.
I'm glad you weren't hurt on this trip, it was very dangerous, but it's unforgettable 🤣🤣
The suspense in this episode... so many memories came flooding back of my time in Myanmar back in 2019. Sweet people, but you've got to know when to say, "No, thanks, I'll pass."
I was so baked watching this I feel like I went on the journey with you and just reminds me of me and my friends in south korea! Favorite video of yours so far
I never knew comedy could transcend language barriers this well.
I respect you because what you show is unique like no other blog and I respect your attitude to get along with locals.
This is a new light in my life lol I am so glad I came across this channel. The fact that you drank the sketchy shit and went along for the ride as well. I truly hope ur channel grows and I'll share it it as much as I can. Liked & SUBd
i havent watched so many videos of a single youtuber in a long long time, cheers dude, the content is Gold.
I am a Myanmar citizen and Ngwe Saung doesn't fail to provide me unique local experience whenever I visit. Just enjoy the moments and believe me, the locals have no harmful intention to the foreigners. I am not sure whether you depart from Myanmar or not, though, recommend going to Chin, and Shan state, go to hilly and remote areas and enjoy the diversity. Also be aware of the armed conflicts areas, you don't want to get involved to them.
i am not sure u are actually advising him or sending him to his death. xD
😂 deep shxt Burmese..
I hate them burmese burmagarians 🗣️🗣️🗣️💯🤬🤬🤬
@@koro_gaming8849Bro sent him directly to Chin which has the worst road in the country as well as the most conflict area. :P
Chin is beautiful actually (My most fav vacation places so that part is very true.)
haha... I totally believe in his ability to survive amidst all of those encounters ...haha@@koro_gaming8849
I cant stop watching your vlogs now, brilliant content. Peace and love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤

@@MarkSpector084We drink everytime someone said this...
You're proud to be known for something bad? Why do people say dumb things on youtube 🤣
Wow u really brave to take a ride with a drunken driver. He's a real character like u. Good luck on your travels
I feel bad for Dan. He was so happy meeting you in the previous video and showing you around. We should buy a scooter and find him again to give it to him. "no problem".
At the moment of 24:00 , you either choose to tense up as the planning falls apart and become skeptical, or take literally everything coming ahead as it happens. These guys are hilarious, and fun guides, despite not going where once promised. Going to a different adventure and having a great time along the way.
I just really wonder how did you record literally everything except crashing moments TWICE, love your video and vibes, but this moment gets me
There is no such thing as reality TV, even on YT
@@AllofJudea Tell this to Nathan Fielder
I remember being in these crazy drunk/high drive ordeals. it was always a relief to stop somewhere for a drink and a feed until you realise your driver has drunk twice the amount you have and you still are only halfway through your journey
dude you earned a sub!! I saw the title and i bust out laughing even without watching the video because i know how our people are and a tourist experiencing it is raw content! YOu are funny without trying, you are a character bro keep it u
The Anthony Bourdain of backwoods escapades! Brilliant editing captions and raw adventure, subscribed forever!
You really have to appreciate this guy's attitude of just going along with anything the locals throw at him! No pretense!
Dude this man is cool! he just always want an happy day, he's just being real and never taking advantage about the prices of all the liquors you buy for them.
I feel sad for these guys. I have no opportunity to work, get into wrong habits. Sad life. Great content though Dan!
I have spoken to japanese adult people who graduated from university and have worse english than Dan. His english is impressive, like probably he learnt english by reading alcohol bottles. lmao.
But they seem happy... and really thats all that matters
Really doesn't seem that bad. Looks better than most suburb dwellers lives tbh.
@@leredditcommander8208 bro, I lol'd hard
Dude - Just found your channel and this Myanmar rabbit hole is epic. Well done. Love the authenticity
I love that Dan was wearing the same shirt as Rickey from trailer park boys and he is living the life.
hahahaha dude I didn't even notice that. that's hilarious
You name it, in combination with the Myanmar beer T-shirt it's hard to beat... 😂
His name "Dan" was actually called "Than Zaw" . Sorry for your bad day. But it was funny at some moments in video. Now "Than Zaw" is famous in Myanmar (especially in facebook) because of your video. :D
this is wholesome
Oh this is wonderful news! How can I find his facebook I wanna see how he is doing!
He was just popular because of this vlog..Nowadays in Myanmar(Burma) Everyone knows who is "Dan" "Than Zaw"...and love his personality but we don't know his personal account.. I think he's doing the same thing... driving bike taxi.. guiding some people who visit to Ngwe Saung... Drinking 20cups of pineapple alcohol everyday..... may be @kyleclef
What’s his Facebook?
Great stuff! I can’t travel like this anymore but I can do vicariously through videos like this!
This vlog is so hilarious and adventurous. You are so brave to trust the strangers in a chaotic country. Hope u can explore more on unseen spots in Myanmar.
He may be drunk but he is a honest person
yea he is drunk
A person when gets drunk becomes Honest 😁
ONE OF THE BEST EPISODES. Fantastic 😬
This video is a gem. I can see and feel honesty and hilarious in this video.
Dan's singing translate from 21:50 "one day when theres no water left in the sea,one day when the sunlight dont shine anymore,its the day i will be away from you" u can correct me if im wrong
this is the absolute best, you seem to be the most authentic worldwide outlaw on youtube, safe travels!
Dan (Thant Zaw) is really a hospitable, honest & hilarious man 😊
His English is so underrated. My man is educated.
How did you know his name? Please tell me Thant has a TH-cam channel!
@@antonyloc He already said his name is Ko Than Zaw in this video. He has no channel bro.
@@antonyloc We burmese can understand his name well
😂 😂 😂 😂 I laughed my ass off. I live in Yangon and yes, Burmese people are freaking honest and humble yet sometimes need to be careful with them.
100%
Me too!! Funny as hell!😅😅😅😅 kick stand dragging!!😂😂😂 I think this is hilarious
He's all jacked up!!😂😂😂
ur genuinely my favourite yt these vlogs are so good
Nice video , thanks for this makes me miss villages in Myanmar I have been away from my country in over 25 years. Last time I visited back in July-Aug 2011 before the current political situations took place. I am a Burmese female who grew up in the UK (London) since 5 years old. I appreciate you sharing this and envy you in a good way you get to experience this 🤭🥲😃. Just one tip I wouldn't say *f*king* curse word in front of Pagoda because for Burmese/Myanmar people as a Buddhist country its rather offensive/considered an insult as it is a religious figure to us that ties in with our Buddhist beliefs.
hope you have a nice day ! 😊
