I interview Aaron Frankel, a guy who has spent his whole life in Thailand. In this interview Aaron talks about his childhood growing up in Bangkok in the 70's and the mischief he got up to with his friends. He talks about the culture shock he experienced when he went to university in America and what he does for a living in Bangkok. #thairishtimes #lifeinthailand #farangspeakthai

Anger is only expressed by children or adults who haven't learned how to behave properly. Love that

Other Asian cultures operate this way, too. It was the first thing I learned as a Mainlander in moving to Hawaii. It makes negotiating through society very pleasant, everyone being civil to each other.

I disagree with this to a point and I think it is why some developing nations remain developing. I have lived abroad off/on mostly in Brazil but in Thailand as well, for decades. Anger when effectively channeled can lead to meaningful change. For a Thai example one can be sentenced to prison for decades for sharing a political cartoon on social media that pokes fun at a Royal Family pet is wrong and deserves anger, but if you do you can go to prison. So let´s not make light of the lack of freedom in Thailand.

Great interview, even better than with his mom. As one who has lived in Thailand (on and off) since the late 1960s I can truly appreciate Aaron. It was very interesting that he understands provincial folks so well (I whole heartedly agree even though my family are Bangkokians.) I can remember how genuinely friendly I was treated in the small villages of the Northeast 50 years ago and now in my village in Bangkok. Pete, your work is really fantastic in finding these interviews.

I'm Thai and travelled to countries as well (America, Aus, Nz, East Asia, Europe). I feel related to what Aaron said about Thai people. They are super kind, playful, polite and friendly. I always tell my kids about this and teach them to respect all Thai rural people who are so honest. I'm glad that Aaron is Thai now cause he is so playful, sanook ka.

Hello Pete, this interview was brilliant. When I hear of westerners that have made Thailand their home makes me very jealous. When I first went on a holiday to Thailand in 2000. I know that Thailand made me mellow. The reason I am saying this, is the Thai people made me what I am today. Their smile and their politeness is something I have not seen in other countries. That is why Thailand is closest to my heart, and makes me venture there practically every year.

Another great interview Pete. I actually preferred Aaron's interview over his mother's. He has confirmed a lot of things about Thais that I kind of had in my head but wasn't sure. These interviews are so insightful and are far more than what twenty years of being a 'two-week-millionaires' ever could.

@zoe9632 2 года назад
Thanks to you both for your interview. The key thing I've taken from his & his mom is that westerners are never really accepted by Thais in an intimate/connected & long lasting way. His mom said that her Thai female friendships were limited & that the Thais were only around in the good times & not the bad. To me, this signals lacks depth & that would be unsatisfactory long term.

Aaron mentioned that it will require a new administration to recognize the need for educational reform to help narrow the wealth gap. Just what the present junta doesn't want. Keeping the majority ignorant and in relative poverty is the authoritarian hammer of control to maintain the status quo. #Longing#for#change#

Fascinating story and a unique insight into the real Thailand. I remember buying Aaron's map-guide to Bangkok back in the day before the BTS was opened, was a great map. Also only just discovered Pete's channel (and subscribed), great interviews and really professionally produced. Especially like the way Pete lets people talk and doesn't interrupt continually unlike some vloggers.

He speaks my mind, I always thought that the government should invest whatever it take to improve our people language ability. It ‘s hurt when I heard our Thais said that we do not need to speak English, we have our own language, if foreigner want to visit our country they should learn our language blah blah blah… I wish they realize what opportunities in life they had to sacrifice with this thought.
