someone else posted this but it got buried I guess. Here's the reel one of his enemies made. Nothing worse than what's said on this forum everyday but it's really about that. He also gushed about how much he loved Thailand constantly and that was the mass majority of his opinion on Thailand. Also not shown is his ranting against the UK. He's clearly on team Thailand and always has been.

He had some very vulgar stuff about gay sex mixed in to his videos. He crashed his bike and the nurses had to clean the wounds weekly so he called the nurse a <deleted> once for hurting him. Very pathetic way to behave but he did apologize eventually. This guy has emotional problems for sure.

I started watching him because I wanted to see if that business is going to work. He's paying like 150k/month for the mortgage but i don't see how you can make that up selling weed. He didn't even know about the low season and how dead it gets. To spend 5 mil on a house in a country you haven't lived in one year is crazy.

how so? It's a tourist ghetto for a particular type of person. My brother had a business there for nearly 10 years and says the police are corrupt and do favors for cash. Politicians are corrupt too and do favors also. Stupid place to live imo.

He just needs to leave Pai. He's totally angered them and made lots of enemies. Impressive work for being in Thailand less than 1 year. For people asking what he said it's not about that. He made enemies and they dug up dirt on him. The police are probably corrupt too and doing favors for their friends.

My only criticism of Thomas is that he moved into the only place in Thailand that is totally dominated by libtards. Literally the worst place you could be if those people bother you. If you want to see "over tourism" Pai is great example. Doesn't feel like Thailand even.

Of course even Thai people agree. Does the "go home" crowd understand Thai people aren't 100% happy with every aspect of their country too? IMO 99% of the things expats complain about totally reasonable and things all civilized countries are doing anyways. Moreover we're complaining about our countries also and it goes both ways. If you don't like complaining why be here posting in the first place?

He's not very emotionally stable but I appreciate his enthusiasm for his project. It seems within days of arriving in Pai he picked fights with the community, called everyone libtards and they eventually took him down. Having a competing business is a way to get in trouble too. It was all very entertaining. Bottom line is Pai is a retarded place to live. The expats totally dominate the culture and even the Thai people there are questionable. They've ruined a lovely valley sadly.

All roads lead to Trump. He's driving you mad!

A major purpose of this forum is so expats can share their feelings and complain. Maybe instead of us leaving Thailand you should leave the expat forum?

I brought this up with my wife and she thinks a traditional will is the correct thing to do.

all he ever did was state the problems he had hiring Thai staff. He upset the Pai community is the real reason for the witch hunt.

He also routinely called the existing Pai expat population libtards. He went on a crusade of sorts against them. That's why I was watching his channel and being entertained. I lived in Pai for 1 year in 2005 and it's 100x worse now than it was then.

Look at all the top comments on the PPTV video. Thai people know this is BS too. The actual problem seems to be the Pai police. What's more likely is Tom pissed off the wrong people in Pai and now they've got the corrupt Pai to go after him. TIT

One more point on the PPTV video above. He talked about how he was going to pay off the police if it comes to that. Even the newscasters admit Thai people know this happens but they don't talk about. He probably just pissed off the local police by running his mouth. Something to learn from. So here's a summary of his crimes: 1) Thinks Thai people are lazy workers. 2) Thinks Thai police are corrupt. Any Thai person that doesn't think the same needs their head checked.

He said very tame things about the work ethnic of Thai people. Honest criticism that ANY person has when hiring Thai people. Instead of being babies Thailand should understand they have a problem and try to fix it. Only losers and failures can't take constructive criticism.

No the video he referenced. That's just his response to it. I want to hear what the Thai newscasters have to say about us pesky farangs.

Yet here you are comfortably in the bosom of the whiney expat instead of eating som tom in the rice paddies with uncle som chai and you'll back for more tomorrow!

Best advice. If you can't survive 5 years in the country and be in a stable marriage then land should be the furthest thing in your mind.

Does anyone have this video? I tried to find it on https://www.youtube.com/@PPTVHD36 but I don't see it. I'd like to see what the Thai media thinks about this.

Everyone who's ever hired Thai people will tell you this. Every single person who does house build videos on YouTube will allude to the fact Thai people won't work if they feel like it and just not show up. This is Thailand 101 stuff.

Imagine a country so childish that they feel the need to have a continuous water fight go on for 72 straight hours. Welcome to Thailand.

are you kidding? That may be true the first year then you start having problems with bad behavior of the Thai people themselves. Driving? run over crossing the road at crosswalk? Attacked by dogs? Burning trash? disrespectful loud music? etc... etc... In this guys case he was trying to hire Thai people. Have you tried to hire them? This is a whole other set of problems to be negative about.

I was watching his videos over the last few months. There's lots of questionable stuff on there but he was never ranting against Thailand. I would say his criticism of Thailand is 1% of the usual banter found on this forum. The only questionable things were related to his homosexuality and one outburst with a nurse at a local hospital. I think he came charging into Pai full speed, pissed off the wrong people in power and paid for it.

We'd all be deported if they read this forum.
