The pernicious power of jealousy. So many bitter posters posting derogatory assumptions about this man's character and life. That's just how it is in this world of envious bipeds. One man gets the best of both worlds: Thai AND American citizenships AND speaks the local language with unparalleled fluency. This is how one discovers the true colours of certain people. One man succeeds and the other resents that success. 

I would argue, that Thai- and US- citizenship is not the best of any world, but that is just me!

Jealous?

Yeah...right! :coffee1:

You're not Thai, you have Thai citizenship.

Having Thai citizenship makes him a Thai

Probably wais taxi drivers, wears a yellow shirt and stands up at 6 PM, weird, 'proud' ? Came here as a missionary sounds like children of god cult, quite a few of those including singer Christy and Jonas Anderson

So is the missionary family now all Buddhists or still Christians?

Born to missionary parents?

 

Is he trying to convert Thai people to Christianity or was he converted to Buddhism instead?

That's also what I'm wondering lol

Instead of being happy and congratulatory, no, they'll dig up his familial background, denigrate something totally unrelated to the core topic's cause for celebration. Then you have those who pretentiously react with "i'm confused" emojis, assuming it's perfectly alright to attack his parent's past missionary activities in the Kingdom which are totally immaterial to this good news about his acquisition of Thai citizenship. 

 

If Mr Udom Suksanaih happens to have the opportunity to read this discussion, my warmest congratulations to you for your well-deserved Thai citizenship. 

Well said!

If they were indeed the children of God 'missionaries' they were very perverted Christians, some of them survived it's horrors but it was not much fun for the girls. They had a rota as soon as they were 12 allocating who was to screw them, sometimes couples. It was more like a demonic cult than a Christian one. David Berg or Moses David the leader had sex with his own daughter from 11 years old, this was not a good man and his followers were sheep.

Jealousy of becoming a Thai, are you for real? not many want to go down that road and if you plaster yourself all over the internet you are fair game for people who want to look a bit further into your life beyond the yellow shirt and the grapping. Of course he speaks good Thai, anyone would if they came here very young.

Actually yes, he is for real. One would have to be mentally ill to choose to live here, make no attempt to integrate and refuse Thai citizenship in the unlikely event you were offered it or became eligible to receive it - especially since you don't have to give up your other nationalit(ies). I would take Thai nationality in a heartbeat and would happily retain it even if I later decided to live elsewhere.

 

Basically you are saying you would prefer to have to go through the nuisance of applying for a visa extension EVERY single year, spending all day at immigration, getting a work permit, paying more than locals for entry to national parks and other attractions, and potentially being refused entry at immigration?

 

Please explain your "western" logic and that of all the other people you assume don't want to get Thai citizenship. I'm dying to hear your reasons.

I was happy for him until I saw him grovelling. ????

Disgusting behavior. 
 

But whatever floats his boat. Some people were just meant to live on their knees.

 

I do hope the bloke is happy. Being raised here and gone through their education system is being dealt a rough hand. At least he doesn’t have to deal with immigration again or pay farang price at the parks.

He’s a farang with a Thai passport. He’ll never be Thai.

800,000thb for Thailand is about right, but much higher for the UK, around £250,000 kept in the bank

It costs £250,000 to live for a year in the UK?

That's for the entrepreneurial visa. Yingluck's got one.

Congratulation. He has embraced the Thai way of life, its spirit, its happiness, its sadness, its un-western logic with its benefits and disadvantages. My best wishes in your new identity life.

It's really his whole identity, since he came here pre-school age.

 

But yes, congratulations - he came across as perheps the most likeable and well-integrated youtuber in the country. He really wanted citizenship, glad he got it.

" He went through the Thai education system "

He therefore arrived at adulthood knowing practically nothing except making knots dressed as a scout and using a calculator to make a subtraction of the kind 50 minus 35 = 

How much without the calculator ?  :cheesy:   

 

I think few farang on this forum will be surprised that I have very often returned 25 baht ... because the calculator was unavailable ...

For you maybe, but certainly not for any Thai, taxi driver or an official elsewhere than in his district where nobody knows him.
He was and will remain a farang ..
I'm not at all jealous of what he got; it was his choice;
good for him .

I know some farang of various nationalities who speak Thai fluently;
I even know one who sings morlam on stage ..
He is a Frenchman who lives in the province of Nakon Phanom;
he is the commander of a giant tanker;
he is married to a thai woman, he has two daughters born here but he will never ask for thai nationality!

Nothing can surprise me in the abject anymore when some believe they are enlightened by some god;
there was another who was of the same kind, a certain mohammed who married an 8 year old girl ...:annoyed:

Good for him. Evidently this made him happy. Happiness comes in many ways and forms.

Hope he didn't give up his U.S. citizenship, if he did he may regret it sometimes in the future.

Its the old saying don't burn the bridges behind you.

The "children of god" was most definitely a cult, Christian???  Not really sure it it was.

Very strange and ultimately an ugly cult.  I don't think too many members remain in the cult.

Good for him. Now he can stay in Laos for 72 hours without the need to show a passport. 

You are right. He sounds more Lao than Esan. He has the Lao Vientiane accent on the first clip.

There are lots of reasons to get Thai citizenship.  Own land; never have to leave; visa free travel in Asean; never have to file, visit or have anything to do with immigration or work permits again.  Plus, if your original nationality allows it, you can keep that too.  What's not good about it?  It's only 5,500 Baht from start to finish.  There is a thread on this forum that will tell you all about it: 

 There are lots of nasty comments in this thread, all stemming from jealousy.  To those who have nasty things to say to people who have achieved citizenship I say one thing:  'keep filling in your TM30s'.

I stand at 6pm when the anthem plays if I am in a place that would mandate it. Out of respect. Im not in any hurry.

 

of course, as pretty much anyone anywhere in the world would expect visitors to their country to respect their national anthem.
