Popular Post jack71 Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 I just saw a video by the 'vlogging a dead horse' youtuber. He was doing a walking tour of Soi Buakhao area pointing his video camera inside some bars. On soi pothole one of the grumpy and inebriated bar owners became very angry at the youtuber. He ended up on his backside in the middle of the road- evidently not being able to handle himself. I was surprised that the old fella thought he was working for immigration asking about work permits so many times. The question is... should a youtuber be able to point his/her camera inside a bar or not. I think many of the Thai bar owners would not give a <deleted> but many of the self entitled westerners might have a different opinion.. 1 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Apparently YouTube is getting strict on videos of girls on these walkabout type videos, so easy to stop just report them if it's a problem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lacessit Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 IMO it would be good manners to ask first if it was OK to film inside someone else's premises, if permission not given move on. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 1FinickyOne Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 If someone does not want to be photographed in a bar and knows that it will go public, I think he is in his rights not to have his privacy violated... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post steven100 Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 I think both the bar owner and patrons would object to being filmed ..... they are not monkeys in cages so anyone doing the same deserves some harassment and being told where to go ... 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 Those youtubers should try something similar in their home country. Point a camera at the entrance of a sex shop or a bar, etc. . I am sure someone will explain to them the errors in their judgement. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2long Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Grey area in my opinion. If the attention-seeking idiot with the camera wants to video in public, that's his right. If people want some privacy in public, then they also have rights (this month's new law for example). But in summary, everyone's wrong but it's great entertainment. A middle aged Englishman giving it the 'look at these sad fools' in Pattaya. Several middle-aged Brits getting upset about being filmed sitting next to hookers. Everyone needs to grow up! - If you're in a bar and not crazy drunk, pay attention to who's walking around out front doing what.. that includes YouTubers, police, jealous husbands, wives etc. - If you're a YouTuber tying to get attention and views by filming these guys... expect what you get. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bkk6060 Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 Part of the reason the girls don't want to be on video is because of sponsors and family. Both who have been told by the girls they stopped, or don't work bar. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgw Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Publication of photos or films showing people while they are on private time should not be allowed except if they were aware they were being photographed/filmed and manifested no objection to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did your grandmother send text messages? Mine neither. The YouTuber is a fool. We all agree on that. But the sexpats who take offence need to think about what's really going on, what they care about, and who's breaking what laws. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone filmed from the street without a tele you wouldn't be able to recognize anybody. That changed. With high resolution video a lot can be seen that was hidden previously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the clarity of videos make things more or less illegal or legal? As I wrote before, I watched the video several months ago and thought that all parties made themselves look stupid... but a YouTuber gets the views, and the person on film gets nothing he wants. All I'm saying is, is did the YouTuber do anything wrong or illegal? Especially given that this was filmed and published months before the new law? Sounds to me like secretive and protective sexpats want to protect people's privacy. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want to be filmed misbehaving. But I would take action not to be.

I.e. if there are 5 free tables I won't sit on the table just next to people if I can also sit a little further away. Most people do the same. If my neighbors chat I don't lean over to listen to them. And I don't film them. Why should I do that? It seems some youtubers are like nosy neighbors. They want to see everything and listen to everything and, even worse, publish this. And, even worse, add their stupid comments.

But in the video (if you watched it) he was in the public street. Yes, he was being a d*ck. But he wasn't breaking any laws. The people in the bar didn't like it (understandable) but they had no right to challenge him. People make a noise in front of my house every day, and some look inside, but me attacking them is wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is everybody who has a drink in a (girly) bar a sexpat? Can people not expect a little privacy even if they don't do anything illegal? Or especially if they don't do anything illegal? If youtubers want to expose criminals then please go ahead, do that. Let's see how brave they are. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
