I’ve watched every episode since number one. Eric you have done an amazing job and have steered the podcast in a great direction. Very compelling content and watching podcast has become a highlight of my week ! Thanks bro
I was in Bangkok last year and I wound up riding next to Jason on the BTS. It's hard to describe but he exuded the most unsettling negative energy you can possibly imagine. It was so striking that it stuck in my memory and I recognized him immediately (nearly a year on) when I saw him here. Knowing what happened to him I can only imagine what demons he was carrying with him. May he rest in peace.
Hi Eric! The one thing that annoys me the most about Thai people and SAVING FACE is when you ask for directions in Thailand. If the Thai person does not know the direction you need to go, he/she will send you in the wrong direction just to save face! They won't admit they simply don't know in order to save face. I've been on the receiving end of this several times during my trip there.
1:27:00 - you're talking about the hi-so Thonglor/Ekkamai life though, that's not normal life - even in Bangkok. Other areas of Bangkok are literally 5x cheaper and still pretty nice
I live in boston (capital of progressivism) butvive never had a problem with pronouns and political correctness. I dont know anybody who was cancelled. I think this is a total social media creation, ie totally exaggerated
Agree - guest was talking about makeup and mustaches and cancel culture but I have literally never seen that in my life, save for some deliberately loud Twitter users on either side of the political spectrum. Just my experience. Great show as usual though.
Capital on the East Coast! But in reality, Boston fired millions of workers because they refused their "safe and effective" jab. That's pretty "woke". However, Boston has far surpassed just the lbgtq+++ and if you live directly in Boston, you know because "progressive" is bankrupting both city and State. Because of "woke" idiots going after "family" and religious beliefs. I am from Boston area and I wouldn't ever consider living there. The "Progressive" leaders from GOP and the current asses pushing towns towards affordable housing which would house illegals who aren't even supposed to be here. Kicking out veterans and Americans on disability etc.
It’s something I see a lot online but I don’t encounter it a ton in my day to day life living in NYC. I don’t think cancel culture is as huge as a problem as everyone thinks. Just treat people with respect. Even if you make a joke if you are respectful I haven’t had any issues
This is such a professional set up and the host comes across as so professional also so I'm really puzzled why after 85 videos its only like 6k subs this channel. Is it the RU-vid algo not promoting it or what? The quality just seems at odds with the relatively low sub count. The only other thing I can think of is that the set up is maybe too slick/ professional, more like TV studio production quality than the rawness people typically associate with RU-vid. Dunno, anyway hope it grows in time, definitely deserves a bigger audience in my view.
Hey thanks for the comment. Let me clarify a few thing: •I’m NOT a professional •We actually only have 22 episodes (the rest of the videos are just “shorts”) •it’s filmed in my apartment, not a studio 😝 •I’m grateful for the 6k subs and hope we keep growing throughout the rest of this year 🙏 -Eric
@@OneNightinBangkok_ Ah okay got you! I know you're a relatively new channel I wasn't trying to diss your sub count, was just surprised it wasn't higher, so a backhanded compliment really. Maybe too backhanded 😂 Anyway it doesn't look like one bloke doing it out of his apartment so well done on that !
Hey Jason, me and my friends have been thinking about opening a Caribbean restaurant in Thailand , where you can get Jerk Chicken , curry chicken, Cajun chicken pasta and many more different types of food
Jason was good, was great to hear his mindset and his thoughts. Again still think you need some more vast experienced westerners in all areas to keep all opinions of others at ease. good pod mate
first time watching your video! not sure how i ended up here but i reallyy enjoyed it. I'm thai btw, so would love to help you clarify on the loosing face concept. There is a phase for it in thai which is "sia-nah" ("เสียหน้า" ) Sia means loosing/broken and nah means face (its a direct translation actually). i think it derives from the fact that the majority of asian culture were taught to be super respectful using language (you can see this clearly in japan too) towards adult or someone older or with authority. For example, instead of saying "no,thanks i dont like the taste" when food was being offered, many thais will say something like "ohh im full thanks na ka/kub" "mai pen rai kaa", "greng jai" or bunch of other nice things or white lies just to be abit subtle/less direct you cant even translate some of these words to western culture because it doesnt really exist they just speak their mind. Asian culture in general also have seniority system = kids are taught to be even be more respectful towards older people/ people with authority e.g. teacher, grandparents, monk, parents, older brothers/sisters, school senior, etc. thats why we have the word to label each persons social pronoun พี่ (phi), น้อง (nong), คุณ (you but respectful manner/register)sometimes if younger people doesn't pay enough respect to someone older even just by saying something too direct or like too harsh on their action like raising voice, doing disrectful facial expression... the older person might feel "loose face"like loosing cool basically.. like how dare young kid teach me im more experienced and older. i experienced this since I studied in an international school while my chinese father & my thai boyfriend studied in a thai school so sometimes i have issues with them too ..but just a little with how i express things since i have many foreign friends. they told me like im too straight forward and too direct ...its really funny sometimes they're trying hard to understand though. my dad said i need to adapt if i want to do business in thailand/china and my bf told me his whole life he was taught there are many ways to say thing indirectly, so no one feels offended or hurt ...till today there are many times i have no clue i can't say certain things to thai people. hope this helps a little. i think farang might be to straight-forward, speak their minds, get message across with no sugar coating...so thais might be feeling sia nah and got pissed.
TL;DR 😂 As a 51 yr old, I have been watching many vlogs over the years, Thailand and Ph, and even Japan have been let’s just say my heart yearns to go and check it out more so for the islands but also the nightlife. I’ve been divorced since 2010, I got around a lot for the first 8-10 yrs but the last few years I’ve been single. I go to Fla twice a year one with my teen kids, the second is I go to a edm festival. Yeah at 52 this year will be like my 6th event. My point is. Your videos are cool, and I get it, it’s more geared toward ppl in their 20’s-30’s, my question is do single women in their 35-50 hang out in these clubs or nah? I personally vibe more with younger, because I love like 💯 edm music 24/7, dancing and yeah but it’s harder as you get older because I’m supposed to be sitting on the porch having a beer buts not my style. I guess it’s a two part question where does one find, not relationships but just friendships in bkk at an older age? Thanks.
I was in Dubai for 7 years and been in Thailand for 2. It's refreshing that you can dial out of the western issues that plague society here. No one is talking about pro nouns, transgender and people are a lot happier here as they dont havent the majority of the societal pressures the west does. You can just get on with living your life. Re Dubai. It's quite funny how you guys will comment on stereotypes in thailand not being true, tho have these preconceived conceptions on Dubai. Its got a great party scene, many groups of girls, girls and guys from everywhere go there. Not everyone there is being paid by some millionaire.
Jason great guy and said all true facts. In Thailand too many temptations for thai ladies, that's why is very hard to trust them. This thing of wanting always something "better" is because of social media, igs, fbs, tiktoks, snapchats, dating apps. Why their friends have a boy in dubai paying business flights, holidays etc and they have a miserable life with a farang on Ed visa in thailand?
Agree there 20 yrs ago there was no Instagram to many girls get self obsessed through the app and the vip crap in most clubs have not helped at all as most up in see in vip have bad attitudes
Im surprised the two Thai girls didn't know what "save face" is. It is not about lying. It's about a guy embarrassing a girl in front of her friends, her family, or just in public, and they will do whatever it takes like argue or lie, so not too look bad, hence saving their faces. BTW love this episode. It did get a bit odd at times with Jason n Dream 😅
"I just wait to go out to party" Well, that's why you need a high budget. I lived in Thailand and have been traveling there for 20 years. You can live an ok life In BKK for $1,000. of course, you won't be partying daily (which will get tiring anyway), but you will have a better quality of life than the average local. in my opinion $1,500 should be your bare minimum, $2000 for a comfortable life and $2,500-$3000 for you and a partner to eat wherever you want (in moderation) and to have some travel money. I have many friends that are happy on $1,000-1,500 a month. My budget was $11,000 a month, but I only spent around $1,300 a month, and on some months less. It totally depends on YOUR lifestyle and food choices.I love Thai food which kept my budget down.I ate out almost every day and went to Pattaya every other weekend! It's always funny to see people say what's impossible, like the whole world lives like they do.
Great interview and think i have seen Jason at some poker events. I just wish the host would challenge the girls on their thoughts at times, like when they are making every excuse for their friends cheating by saying, "maybe they want more love, or lonely," or blah blah blah! Its cheating and they would go insane if a guy did the same or they would easily call him a cheater or something not so nice. Also how Dream first said she would call it rude if someone asked if she was a ladyboy but minutes later changes and says its a compliment, lmao like huh??? But I understand the theme of the show isnt to go at people but to just have open and easy conversations and keep it light. I have such a LOVE/HATE relationship with the pod cause i wish he would challenge the ridiculous things the girls say at times. (Im just being Devils Advocate) This LINE from Talladega Nights movie that was also used in Kanye song "Ninjas in Paris" comes to mind: "What does it mean?" "I dont know what it means, but its provocative, it gets the people going!" 😂😂😂
Hey, Eric here - I don't disagree with you, HOWEVER, I think it is sometimes best to let them talk and say their part without challenging them too directly, otherwise they may just shut down and not speak at all. Personally, I'd rather hear some of their honest opinions (and disagree with them) then push back and not hear what they're thinking. But your point is valid.
Tomboy has been around in the west since the 70s, you maybe too young to remember or know it, back then it was a girl who dressed more like a guy and acted more like a guy, but wasn't someone trying to be trans. This idea of rules/reading woman is stupid. It's part of the reason why many guys have stopped going up to woman asking them out and why more woman on TikTok for example are complaining guys don't come up to them anymore. People at the best of times cant read other people, especially young guys with little to no experience, getting pissed off at them because they aren't the type of guy you are looking for just turns more guys off asking. You can't cherry pick, you have to take the good with the bad, put another way, what if all the good looking plus 10+ chad guys start doing the same thing, how are all the woman going to feel.
Tomboy has a different meaning in Thailand. It doesn't just mean a girl who dresses in a more masculine way. It refers specifically to lesbians or transgender that have this specific style and also date women.
@@OneNightinBangkok_ Yes I know, the speaker said he hadn't heard the term before, I was referring to that fact, that it has been used in the west for a very long time. Maybe not in the same way as Thailand, but it's been around for a while.
The problem with money is you young guys want to live a lifestyle that's 3×4 times what you had in your hone country. It’s just silly to say Bangkok is expensive when you're going out every night. You wouldn't do that in your home country. Live in moderation, and you'll be fine. Set up a budget and stick to it.
Two things can be true at once. Bangkok IS significantly more expensive than it was a few years ago, and it's one of the least affordable places in SE Asia. At the same time, lifestyle inflation is a real phenomena and it happens with a lot of expats.
%100, can so easily blow through a couple hundred bucks in a night out in bangkok, especially if you are with a girl the money just seems to leave your pockets so easily.
I"m guessing Earn keeps coming back because subs and views go way up every time? Should just make her a co-host at this point and cut her in on the revenue.
Interesting conversations. I'm interested in whether your western guests would stay in Thailand if they had the money to live the equivalent lifestyle elsewhere or back home. Is it Thailand that's attractive or just the benefit the exchange rate gives them both socially and financially.
Just stumbled on your video in youtube homepage. This was an interesting conversation, I like Jason mindset; he understand a lot already about Thai culture for someone who has been here only 2 years.
Also that guy Jason spoke very well on podcast 👏 I seen him at sugar many times He never spent 700k a month 😂 that's bs Other then that he's a good guy that likes a lot of women
Stop comparing the US with Thailand. talking about $$ big mistake talking about prices of food ! Etc big mistake Stop talking about Boston and comparing ..
tons of girls whose business is to have multiple sponsors for maximum self enrichment far well and beyond a little help to send money to elderly parents. this style is not limited to bar girls as your guest elucidated.
I'm married to a Thai & been visiting LOS for 16+ years, I'd have to ask the Mrs if Dream was a ladyboy or not. & yes bruv, if you told me you were bi I wouldn't be surprised.
Who rents a condo for 20-30k? That's a massive rip off. Move further out, use the BTS and pay around 10k for the same size room, in a resort style development There are hundreds in Bangkok. Bigger developments, not squashed and tall single towers. Thai's don't live in the centre because it is a scam. Try any district outside the centre and on public transport. You will be so glad you did. As regards everything else. Good girls (I hate that term) don't go to the places you guys go. That is why you meet the ladies you do. I think I need to go on your show. lol. Btw, Gik is a friend with benefits. It is incredibly common. Mia noi is a second wife, a mistress, that is looked after (paid for) sometimes with or without the knowledge of the first wife. Bar hosts are venues for Thai ladies to acquire a short time male or female friend purely for physical fun. And if you are fooled by ladyboys....you are beyond my help. lol. Never been fooled. Not once, in over 17 years.
Why do you care how much one pays for rent? Everyone has different needs,wants and financial situation. I personally plan to spend roughly 80-120k when I arrive. My needs and wants obviously are different than yours.
@@BirdDog. Odd, you ask me why do I care, then tell me your budget. I've lived here for 17 years. I realised that the big rooms (i've lived in a couple of 100 square metre plus condos on Sukhumvit) are very overpriced and simply not worth the money. I live alone now and don't need to impress anyone as well. But each to their own. You do you. For what you will get for 80-120k, you may find you can live in extravagant style for less further out....and personally living in the centre of Bangkok is my idea of hell. Noisy, dirty, polluted, rat infecsed, flood prone and congested all the time. Have you lived here before?
The difference between Thai and American and identity is that Thais just don’t care, Americans, like this dude, say they don’t but they really do and then they moan about cancel culture. This guy also sounds very closed minded.
Really after living in Thailand how long, and you don't know the Thai word for loosing face! When your always talking about loosing face on your PodCast. It's "เสียหน้า.if you can read Thai.
This kid with the tattoo is the epitome of looks the part but doesn't act the part. Covered in tattoos trying to look like a badass but he's so not. Tattoos dont make you cool. He oozes awkward.
See that all the time even in mall food courts in Thailand, unbelievably gorgeous woman sitting there eating on FaceTime with a bald 50 year old man in whatever country I think to myself how much is this costing this guy per month lol.
Tomboys are also here in America him saying he never heard of that term I sy he is lying a lot of young girls were tomboys here in America in the 90s as well
In Thailand, a "tom boy" is a lesbian with a masculine style (short hair, clothing, etc.) In the west, "tomboy" refers to the style/look but not the sexuality.
@@OneNightinBangkok_ I agree they are lesbian with masculine style but saying it means something different in the west is not accurate. Depends what part of the west you come from. I come from Australian and the definition is the same. I lived in California and the definition was the same. So maybe in Boston’s it means something different but that is not the all of the west.
Great show! I'm a homegrown Boston guy & Earn is absolutely the cutest woman eva! I'll be moving to Bangkok in 2025 & dreaming of meeting the woman of my dreams & hoping to marry! Wish me luck, tell Earn I'm available! 🎭🙋♀
