10:17 "Do you feel the pressure? No.. I don't care" The only beauty enhancement one needs 👍

Yes you see it advertised everywhere in Bangkok but I'm yet to see an advertisement for how to have a good heart.❤ Keep up the great stories Paddy, we love you and your channel!

Such a massive juxtaposition between how prevalent Thai buddhist religion is throughout the country and how materialistic the Thais actually are.

Great video to learn more about thai culture 🥰

So hard for us in the west to understand how big a deal skin color is. For many Thai guys, darker skin is a deal-breaker, even if the woman is otherwise stunning. And girls with darker skin definitely suffer bullying while growing up, as the one interviewee said. So sad.

Good stuff Paddy. As a learner of Thai, your street interview videos are some of the best 'comprehensible input' on RU-vid. I just have to scroll the video partially off screen so I can't see the subs ;)

This is very interesting to watch. cant wait to visit thailand and learn the language as good as you

Thanks for pointing this out, very informative.

Great video as always mate!

Wow Paddy! A very interesting video.

as a thai who doesn't consume thai/ asian content and media as much, watching this video is depressing as hell. beauty standards are different around the world and they also change over time. i don't think you should feel pressured to change your appearance to fit in the trend.

my partner told me that women from isan who still hold their wider lao nose choose to tighten it, in some cases, to fit in when they go looking for work in Bangkok. we as consumers in these markets are always looking to enhance our image, the rise and convenience of dating apps and social media have made first impressions mean more than anything. the thai mobile and internet infrastructure is a blessing and a curse. its sad to hear but i also think its up to the person what will make them feel better and more comfortable in their skin, adapting in a world that points out your flaws.

Ya....and the Farangs are all laying at the beach in the sun to get brown skin :D

Oh man thats so funny. Your thai is amazing!

Fascinating video. I feel like I really don't look or think about noses as a factor in beauty at all yet in every country nose jobs seem to be up there for women's surgeries.

That woman at 1:55 is bang on the money! Those Thai girls who are slightly tanned, really nice caramel toned skin, big eyes, nice lips and dress well.. Wow.. they are they the best.

Its a timely topic. Im in Sydney and about to head to Thailand with my Thai partner... The last time we travelled over songkran and she chose to take the time to have a nose job whilst staying with family...this meant several weeks of pain followed by a short trip to Phuket and speedboat/etc tours while still in a bad way.... I actually begged her not to do it but its what she wanted.... At the end of the week we travel again..and again she booked surgery around the eyes.... I told her its dangerous, please dont...begged again to stop but she insists...this time there will be songkran then a short vietnam trip on return... From the interviews I guess now I understand, especially as she spent years in Korea before.. but I still hate it.... Its so sad to see and who knows how it will affect them as they grow older? Ill be in Jomtien over songkran and wan lai...guessing you will be in Bkk?

i really like these interviews ;) ... can you add the thai sub. when you speak thai? learn thai with it ... thank you

Need a video on Thais wearing braces for fashion reasons, and appearing wealthy. As an Aussie that's mind boggling. We think braces are ugly and painful, and here clear aligners to straighten teeth are all the rage. No one wears metal braces anymore.

Thank you for the vid. I still can't believe it's up to 90%. Lots of my foreign friends like to argue about this topic. I know that actually it's all about an individual's insecurity. Body-shaming is one of the causes. I'm interested in seeing women/men with plastic surgery in their 80-90s. There are western versions, but I can't find eastern ones. I also wonder about next generations. Cheers!

The girls in the student uniforms are still a bit young so qualified their remarks but they expressed openness to the idea later. Some girls accept that they are unattractive but others will do anything to get attention and praise. Pretty girls are often the first to get work done because they have more to work with and get better results. The way they use descriptive nicknames can be pretty brutal by western standards but that is the way they address each other. Social pressure is just builtin to this group oriented culture. Trying to impose our ideas of beauty or individualism just doesn't work in my opinion. Just let them do whatever they feel they need to do to fit in as it is their culture and their lives. The older woman was very clear that the work she has had done makes her feel better about herself and it is worth it in her eyes. For me this is pretty much a nonissue.

Wow!! I still can’t believe this and I actually find it heartbreaking 😢

If we learnt Thailand language ,then we can understand laos language ?

It’s quite sad in all honesty. Nothing looks worse to me when people mess up their faces with unnecessary plastic surgery. Inner beauty is the most beautiful! Good vid Paddy, but unfortunately I wasn’t surprised at all.

I'm Thai but I like myself as I am. I like natural beauty more.

You look like you are at JJs. I normally stay one night in a high end hotel in Sathorn before heading back to Sydney. I have definitely seen an increase in western women wrapped in bandages getting into the lift. Certainly not for me - but I must admit that I’m partial to a bit of dental work!

Vacationing in Bangkok and I agree there’s a ton of plastic surgery going on out here I thought I was back in CA lol

It is interesting that the woman who appeared to be the most confident was the one who has had the most "work" done. She mentions doing it for confidence... but she kind of strikes me as having a personality that would be confident regardless. She also is one of the older women... with age comes confidence... and the income to afford surgery, lol.

Your vids are awesome mate….

อะไรสวยคือเราสวย 10/10 😂

Hi Paddy I hope you have a discount code for Ling :(

Good video padeeeeee

I lived in thailand for a year and its true almost every girl i met had surgery. Lots of guys too

So sad, because in no other place on earth have I seen so many women rich with natural stunning beauty.

Hey Paddy you might want to check your audio levels/normalization, the ad was a lot louder than your voxpop this time.

For me the plastic surgery is a deal breaker, unless it was done to repair after the major accident.

Thai women have told me they'd like a nose like mine. I think their little noses are cute and a nose like mine would look ridiculous on them!

300k baht is like 8k USD btw

It made me so sad to see all the plastic surgery and cream jobs during my last visit to Thailand. I will never forget going to a hair salon and the hairdresser complimenting my hair by saying " I love how you color your hair." I looked at her in Thai and said "Thank you but my hair color is natural." Next she said, " Oh I love how curly your perm made your hair." Which I replied, "Thank you but its natural curls." The last thing was " Oh can I do a treatment on your hair?" My response was , "No thank you I am a natural person and am happy how my hair is !" Her face was shocked! I wish more Thai people would embrace their outer beauty!

ส่วนตัวคิดว่ามากขึ้นครับเพราะเกาหลีมา หมวยๆนี่มาแรง นอกจากจะสวยจริงๆแบบมายด์ 4eve

If you have the possibility to meet this young student with the big round glasses, please tell her to remain as she is!

This is such depressing news, i was walking around bangkok marveling at all the beautiful thai women, only to find out now likely 90% of them have had plastic surgery??! Natural beauty is so much more attractive than plastic surgery and it is a distortion of their natural looks. Sigh, well i'm now i'm a bit more jaded but appreciate the insightful video, thank you...

I know you didn't touch on the subject of exercise, dieting, etc, but based on these breif interviews, the 'easy way' is preferred. Most Thai ladies would do well to get their butts into a gym and do serious workouts. Secondly, get into the sun and get golden, and of course learn to diet and eat healthy. Diets don't come in pills either. This stuff is effective, it works, it builds genuine confidence, and it's very healthy. What I'm hearing in the interviews is laziness and dreaming.

I've never had plastic surgery, no money and i thought I don't need it I only have a skin care program.

Most of these women said that thai woman would actually prefer ผิวสีน้ำผึ้ง หน้าคมๆ and then followed with “most women are doing nose jobs and skin whitening”😂 O was surprise as you Paddy.

ในฐานะผู้ชายไทนคนนึง ช่วงวัยรุ่น จะชอบผู้หญิงผิวขาวมากกว่า แต่พอมาอายุมากขึ้น กลับพบว่าผู้หญิงที่มี ผิวสีน้ำผึ้ง หน้าคม ๆ นี่ มีเสน่ห์ น่ามอง กว่าผู้หญิงผิวขาวอีกครับ สังเกตว่าเวลาไม่แต่งหน้า คนผิวขาวจะดูหน้าจืด ไม่น่ามอง ผิวสีน้ำผึ้ง หน้าคม ๆ ตากลมโต นี่ มีเสน่ห์สุดแล้ว เชื่อผมเถอะ

Fancy “picking “ a nose job. Very funny

Only natural beauty is real beauty

Thai abroad here this is disgusting would never do it

What's the point of rare beauty given by nature if people are just whole sale changing everything that made them unique? 80-90%?!

They’re addicted to the attention. Attention is meaningless but that’s all they want

สาวไทยก็สวยอยู่แล้วไม่ต้องเปลี่ยนอะไร

Tons of guys get it too🤪

Now I know why so many freelancers and soapy girls looks😂so beautiful

ฉันไม่ชอบผู้หญิงที่ทำศัลยกรรม🙅

So shallow.

Interesting position to stand and talk for the first fee minutes. Old mouldy wall. Ugly background

The last comment was epic “I don’t care!” 🫡🤙🙏❤️

Who say no surgery = No money period
