- In this interview, Boaz, an expat who has called Bangkok home for the past two decades shares his eye-opening experiences with conmen and scams in Thailand.
Boaz recounts encounters with various types of conmen & scammers, ranging from a junkie Danish fashion designer with a dodgy investment proposal, a conman who "outsourced" his clients money and the charity executives who line their pockets with charity funds.

I interviewed Boaz about his life story in this video: th-cam.com/video/Bw26XQiThSI/w-d-xo.html
Good job, Pete. Ever thought about interviewing "some shady, interesting, scam artists/dreamers from Dublin"?
This guy gives off major scammer vibes.
right??? i often find it hard to believe his stories...
She looks very honest and sincere to me..
I absolutely love this guy. I can see why people trusted him and told him their stories. He’s like a naughty Santa ;)
Haha a naughty santa, that’s a good one😂
Love this dude. I have been going to Thailand for 30 years and met some beyond shady dudes. All Westerners. At the same, time have made friends with some of the most grounded rational people you could ever meet. Always an interesting set of characters in any place.
What he says about the UN employees’ salary…. SO TRUE!!!
Gee, I must live a boring life. I’ve lived in Thailand for 19 years now ( 15 years in a Pattaya) & never met any interesting characters. (But I don’t hit the bar scene)
how do you live in pattaya and not hit the bars mate
SO GOOD. It is absolutely true, majority of foreigners living in Bangkok are some sort of outcast with a unique often very entertaining story. Of course, how would you end up living in Bangkok if you love a standard career somewhere in farang land :D
Who wants a standard career somewhere in Farangland? Those guys you speak of often have huge amounts of debt, are stuck in unhappy marriages, ("cheaper to keep her") with nothing special, older wives, and many other problems they cannot escape from.
In America we have millions of "alimony slaves", guys who have lost everything in a divorce. They only wish they could be a so called outcast in a laid back warm weather foreign culture and enjoy a more peaceful life.
Especially if they hail from cold weather climates.
Great show! Thanks Pete
"i like helping creative junkies, but I'm not stupid". ,#respect
I vote for part 3 Pete, Love the interviews.
Ready for a part 3 absolutely!
Loving Boaz stories of the people he meets!!
@@tsl56 variety of topics sits well with me and anyone that has built a life in Thailand can tell a good story
This was too short! Let's see more, thank you
Yup part 3. That was awesome.
So many characters in Thailand I love it! Boaz, needs to be a regular! 😂
this was fun! GREAT GUY
I've met some strange fuckin people in Thailand, some very dangerous especially Pattaya.. Careful who you mix with there guys stay safe! What up Pete!
I have meet some real freaks on the Baut bus in Pattaya. For sure would be in prison in the USA.
yea Thailand is popular for criminals on the run
It sounds like Florida or Alaska,when guys commit so many heinous crimes they become recognizable they often change their looks as much as they can. Many grow beards or change their hair ,even now change their gender and move to Alaska or Florida when leaving prison because they are not welcome returning to their former home state. If their victims family had threatened to make sure they never commit further crimes , they go to the furthest part of the USA to live out their parole. That’s why so many dangerous pedos & rapists live in the ends of the US. Criminals from the East go to Alaska from the west Florida. The horrible part many of these men changing their gender for a way for rapists & pedos now having access to areas for only women & kids like bathrooms etc. This is a reason I am carful with Expats when I travel outside theUs. Too many fake men of God or English teachers. Sorry for those who are real in these jobs getting the side eye.
well worth a further interview
Just gotta voice my disagreement when Boaz says "the problem with recovered junkies is that they never really recover..." Yeah addiction is an incurable condition like diabetes that you have to live with the rest of your life, but like diabetes it is manageable when you recognize it as such. Boaz's comment could be quite damaging to someone who is struggling so perhaps they'll read this and find help.
i agree with you that junkies who are working NON-STOP on not slipping back, have a higher chance of leading a normal life. from what i see, the only way to actually recover, is to exchange the addiction with another addiction, a healthier one. religion usually works for that. (but because of modern western society, there is a lot of antagonism to religion)
good point
Yes please 3rd part 😄
... We want part 3,audio is a bit missing some parts., not clear like yours. Take your storry... anytime of the day. Great interview, Pete.
Part III please :)
Go!Go!Go! Part 3
More stories from Boaz please
good video
Is boaz a Thai citizen? Part 3 please
👍🏻 part 3
Does Boaz have social media? I’m pretty sure some of us would love to follow him :)
Check out Boaz Zippor on Facebook
I didn't know any expat junkies in 8 years in Thailand, though we did drink regularly (outside) in Patpong. Bobby's Arms Hotdog Stand. Outdoor patio, cafe style, to watch the moveable feast going by. Did see a Thai took-took driver openly huffing in Chiang Mai once. I simply do not associate with drug users and never have.
A monthly spot each for a few popular guests is not a bad idea (Tales from Thailand with ....). Each special guest gets a 5 to t0 minute spot. You could increase the # of videos per month.
I like that idea cheers
Good story
i got my story, he got his cash 😂😂😂😂 bro I'm good for the day 😂 fnk junkies
peter Ustinov LIVES
