asiaexpat Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Video in public is a fact of life in most countries. If one wants privacy then do it in private places. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10002000 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 The USA courts have pretty much unanimously ruled that one gives up any reasonable expectations of privacy if they go outside and can therefore be filmed. I disagree with that when taken to the absolute. Luckily there are some stalking laws and things like that one has some recourse to if you are being followed constantly. I love watching many of the youtube posts while sitting here in New Joisey. While I am not a fan of it, I would not care too much if one of those youtubers pans by me when I am in Thailand. I am not on the run, nor hiding from anybody and don't really care if somebody sees me sauntering down Soi 6 or just happen to be walking on second road near the Big C and the big soapy massage places are in the background, or down walking street and at that moment happen to be walking by the group of ladyboys hanging around the marine disco. People will think what they want regardless if one really does just go there to relax, walk about, hop on baht buses to get around, eat western and Thai food at any and all hours of the night (I loved the KISS restaurant, and those little burger or Donar stalls that are all over the place), sleep, swim in the hotel pool, maybe hook up with a gal now and then, Go up to the Big Buddha and chill, day trip to Ko Larn, bus to Bangkok for a few nights in Bangkok, bus from Mo chit for a 6 hour or so drive to Sukhothai, or some other city to explore, etc. and does not do any drugs or anything illegal. One of my past stupid idiot old fart neighbors who literally never left his house anymore when he stopped and chatted with me after I came back from one of my Thailand trips, all he would ask about was child stuff. yeah well, maybe that was his perversion, I don't know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line, is assume it's happening and behave accordingly, or as I do, simply ignore it as I ain't doing anything worth filming to start with ???????? I seen a youtube vid of a guy walking around in the city and just standing there videoing some people. Most got really mad, and wanted to beat him or call the Police. But, yeah, I agree, you are being watched everywhere you go! Many (maybe most now) TV screens watch you all the time as well as computers, laptops, phones. Watch you do everything inside your home. What ya gonna say about that? I haven't watched TV in years, but I do put tape over my laptop cam, and you should cover the screen if you are doing something serious, because even though your screen is off, its not, and so is the mic. So a guy shows up videoing me, I will just smile! Defeats his purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I know has a mobile phone, and uses 'Line' or 'Messenger' to communicate with their wife. Ever tried to contact someone through hotel reception, not possible even in person with their full name. Thais don't know (or care) who you are, or who you're with, certainly not a tourist on the first day of a 2 week holiday. We all look the same to them. Your story is not credible.

When you bring your barfine back to your hotel get the nearest taxi or tuktuk, and don't waste time bargaining. There are also a couple of short time places within Nana Plaza.

jadee Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 You can't complain - it's legal to film anything in public. I actually think that youtubers are helping to 'demystify' or 'de-romanticize' Thailand (if that's the right word). You can learn a lot from watching some videos, and learn how to avoid scams and ripoffs. The videos also help you see the human side of the flesh trade - i.e. it's just broke people trying to earn a buck. One recent video was a guy asking freelancers on Pattaya beach road how much - it turned out they charge Asians MORE than westerners - turning on its head years of conventional wisdom.

30la Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I think that all these characters who allow themselves to film other people without consent must be punished severely, they are people who do not respect the private life of others! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxxper Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Guys filming with a phone or other open recording device are one thing, as you have the option to ask them to stop or leave the premises yourself. The thing that irks me is these guys that film using concealed or semi concealed devices. You have no way of knowing they are recording and all of a sudden your boys night out is on some public media, not to mention the privacy of the girls that are out and about. Don’t know what the answer is, because as already stated some bloggers have no scruples. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiSePuede419 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Why would anyone have a reasonable expectation of PRIVACY in a public bar where anyone can just walk in off the street? Hey, these videos tell the truth. If you don't like the truth about yourself hanging out in such an establishment, then maybe you should join a private club that charges a membership fee to keep the riff raff out? I'm a family man, so I wouldn't be caught dead in such establishments. ???? I'm not a prude and have been in one once twenty years ago on Samui--only because at the time my Thai "girlfriend" wanted to see it. It was sad to see girls with numbers on that you could order, like a menu. OK, I understand they are doing it to support their families. But the customers can't say that. What a bunch of pathetic sad sacks. Edited February 2, 2020 by SiSePuede419 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Caldera Posted February 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2020 "Not to mention all the farang being filmed with their P4P girls" If that's a concern, use one of the apps to order your P4P girl straight to your room. In a public place, you could also be spotted by your father in law who's also secretly holidaying in Thailand. ???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
