Are girlfriends not permitted by them?

In accordance with the law of chastity, LDS Church doctrine bars sexual activity outside of heterosexual marriage.

Are you suggesting he only engages in heavy petting with his current GF?

Bangkok Thailand Temple

"Preparing for public open house beginning 1 September 2023; scheduled to be dedicated on 22 October 2023"

The Bangkok Thailand Temple will be the first temple built in mainland Southeast Asia.

 

On March 19, 2018, an artistic rendering of the Bangkok Thailand Temple was released to the public, revealing a 44,405-square-foot, six-story building with a soaring central spire and eight smaller surrounding spires. Behind the temple, an additional 91,370-square-foot Church facility will be constructed housing two meetinghouses, a service center, seminary and institute offices and classrooms, and mission offices and housing."

 

It seems, like Nate, that they've got plenty of money to spend here....

 

Probably some of it came from him ( if he's still an  "active member")

I remember reading a lot about this clown here and in other media.

It was quite a media wave some years ago.

He speaks Thai very well and used that to make fools of Thai people on the street ("prank" style). Proving how stupid and uneducated they are.

Can't find a good word for him.

How about: Entreprenuerial

[Summerinsiam]

Just another sympton of a sick world. Is he still a polygmous bible basher?

Not so much anymore - - some people don't care for it, but most are ok these days, from my experience...

Only by the dozen, and only if there is a good chance that it will lead to marriage.

[NickyLouie]

And when she find out Nate is gay?

[Summerinsiam]

Personally, I find a lot of so called thai youtubers to be idiots. What is the point of most of these losers?

Nothing Thais like better than a a Thai speaking foreigner making a fool of themselves, his success is down to being a Mr Beast clone and Thais with nothing better to do.

I don't begrudge the guy for whatever money he's earned, nor do I have any particular personal feelings about him, other than not caring in the slightest...

 

But I am amazed at how many people, particularly Thais, are so keenly interested in inanity...

'

Me too, but from what I have seen of his "productions"  they are very similar to much of the inanity spewed out on Thai  Tv.

Agree 100%. He seems to be right in the same groove....

I  bet that's got the design teams at "Victoria's Secret" and "Janet Reger"  worried

Yes, of course - true love.

Whatever that is.

There's more to this guy than meets the eye in my opinion, Launching his U tube channel in Thailand was actually a stroke of genius. I have met a few of these Mormon missionaries and they all seem to speak pretty good Thai but this guy seems to have a clear understanding of the mind set and sense of humour of an entire generation  of the population and is clearly capitalising on it

Yep the goofball is laughing all the way to the bank.

Seems to be a lot of spiteful, jealous comments on here that one would expect from a teenager with a bruised ego, not supposedly mature men who have lived an examined life. Let them be; they are young and in love. Maybe it will last, maybe it won't, but they are enjoying their romance as young people should. And yes, they are both wealthy. He is self-made; hat off to him. Being a YouTuber is a career path these days, just in case you've been under a rock for the past 18 years.

That's Nat the nit to a tee, he spent his early days belittling Thai's on every opportunity he could, actually going out of his way by setting up Thai's just to put them down. 

[John Drake]

At least he's not another bald headed old guy from the UK or Australia.

Which is a successful formula for many TV shows and not just in Thailand

"Thais netizens joined forces in an attempt to boot controversial expat YouTuber My Mate Nate out of the country. The latest petition that’s going viral asks the immigration department to cancel his visa and exile him from Thailand.

...

The petition, which has been signed by over 50,000 people, demanded that the Thai government kick him out of Thailand because he has “caused public annoyance and disrespected Thai people.”

Why ‘My Mate Nate’ is the most hated farang at the moment

 

"My Mate Nate, an American expat and internet personality, has recently caused an uproar on social media for his latest prank video targeting Thai millennials — he’s been accused of staging a scene in the video to make the point that most Thai people don’t understand English.

 

The meant to be lighthearted prank video, titled “Farang tests Thailand’s English language education,” was supposed to help Nate Bartling, an American missionary-turned-YouTuber, emphasize the well-known and often-reported fact that English education in Thailand needs serious improvement.

 

However, it backfired terribly after some people criticized Bartling for intentionally “humiliating” Thai people to make a point — just to end the video with a pitch to sell an online English course."

The head thing is for males  women should not touch  the top of the  mans head. 

I had Thai gfs that do it to me  because they cant  do it to a thai  man 

A man in a relationship with a thai can touch their head  but thai  man dont  do it anyway farangs do ????

Yes Thailand also has a small permanently offended minority who love to express their outrage online. Interestingly I have never heard the term "netizens" uttered in any other context.  Looks like the petition fell on deaf ears, they normally do.

Probably 50,000 parents fed up of their kids hogging the TV when they wanted to watch their "high brow" nightly soaps

I've spent enough time in Thailand that the photo of him touching her head makes me slightly cringe.

If I can make it thru my years in Thailand without being on anyone's "most hated farang" list, I'll consider my life here to have been a success!  ????

If you really believe that, your experience is limited to an easy-going and laid-back group of Thais.

Len hoo-uh, or touching and playing with someone's head is is as offensive and taboo as it has ever been.

Spreading misinformation that it is otherwise could get newcomers here into some serious trouble.

A slight exception might be with the small children of family or close friends.
