And these people are adults?  

yep! and all of them have voting rights as well... can you imagine!

[bamnutsak]

I see some are claiming that these are actors portraying policemen, and/or policemen working as actors portraying policemen.

 

The reaction from the brass seems to be dissatisfaction with Pol.Lt.Gen. Commander of the Provincial Police Region 7 and Pol.Lt.Gen. Phairot Khumphai, Commander of the Provincial Police in Chanburi Province.

 

As with many things here, many different "stories".

 

 

I guess he tried to get this done in Kanchanburi, but the local police commanders declined.

Why on earth did they do it.

This guy shows no respect and as far as I am concerned is a talentless Muppet.

Why do they do anything?  ka chinggg...

There ideal if you want to make a modern version of a Keystone cops movie.

just set them lose.....

This guy is insufferable. And it’s obviously a rip-off of Mr. Beast. 
 

But if he paid for them then who cares. No different than Thai bigwigs paying for police escorts on the highway. 

[sqwakvfr]

On this one I can't blame old Nate.  In many parts of the world Police and Fire are hired to be in tv shows, movies and even silly youtube vdieos.  It is up to the chief or the  commanding officer to decide if any project is appropriate or not?  

 

I wonder how much the pay was?  

 

[klauskunkel]

Look at it like this:

50 RTPs were not extorting people for at least an hour. For that alone, well done Nate.

Yeah. Now it requires overtime to make up for the missing "collections".

Be respectful to the OAPs here, it would be really hard for them to grasp the concept of today's craziness. I'm an early millennial, sometimes I do get annoyed with these content creators not because of jealousy, but they are seriously IQ-dropping idiots!????

 

Nate is crazy but the police should have known better, it's not like he put a gun on their heads.

[kwak250]

I can't stand him but he is very popular.

 

He has organised Thai fight which is good and each time I want to see someone knock him out.

 

He's the type of annoying twa7 that would have been put in bin at school.

An accurate description in full on English. What a PLONKER!

The Commander of the Kanchanaburi Provincial Police Office vehemently denied any involvement of his police officers in the video featuring the American YouTuber, Nathan Bartling, also known as My Mate Nate.

 

The viral video, created by Bartling, showcased him, his team members, and 50 individuals dressed as police officers engaging in a hide-and-seek game at an abandoned shopping mall. While many viewers found the video thrilling, numerous comments criticized Bartling for inappropriately involving the police.

 

The Royal Thai Police (RTP) launched a thorough investigation into the viral video and determined that it was filmed at an abandoned shopping mall in the Tha Makham sub-district, Mueang district, within Kanchanaburi province. The individuals appearing as police officers in the video were reportedly affiliated with the Kanchanaburi Provincial Police Office.

Nevertheless, the commanding officer of the police station, Pairoj Kumphai, staunchly maintained that his team thoroughly investigated the matter and found no evidence of any officers from the province participating in the video. According to Pairoj, the relevant departments are currently collaborating to identify the individuals seen in the footage.

Never heard of him and do not plan to watch anything from him in the future.

 

Go away!

Point is he's already got a job and a lucrative one, likely earnings far more than you ever achieved?

I expect you don't know or watch many rap artists either but you are not their target audience...but very many are andmake a very good living. So who's the fool....?

Although he ably demonstrated a talent for being " considerably richer than yow!" ????

[bamnutsak]

Pretty soon we'll be told that this didn't happen.

 

Blame it on AI or ChatGPT.

 

 

Yes, they were real policeman, working as actors portraying real policemen.

 

You would think they'd come up up with a believable statement.

 

 

Just admit somebody messed up, and that it won't happen again.

Do you mean Nate?  Or the participating police?

 

I mean, regarding the latter, don't they have anything else better to be doing???

 

They're all making money off foolish viewers who are most certainly wasting their time.....and money.

Like a certain former American president, should we curse him or his supporters? Fools all.

 

These so called 'influncers' are the bane of the internet, degrading to all involved in such a hot mess.

[Burma Bill]

More money than sense! TBH I have never heard or seen him - certainly does not appear in my You Tube selections here in Cambodia.

There he goes again. Eventually, they're going to get him. He's made a lot of enemies.

Especially with the old farts who have lived here for decades and can't say more than 'Chang eek kuat' in Thai.

Nah. Mormon missionary. They learn Thai so they can spread the word.

Yes, Mormon. I watched program about best language teachers and the Mormons were acknowledged as number one. All languages are a very intense 6 week course except Mandarin and Cantonese which are 9 weeks. Only the target language may be spoken. Nearly all students are fluent or close to fluency at the end, depending on language.

He apparently has a very lucrative job, so what's a "real job" that he "needs"?

If you've never heard of him, how could you know that he "needs a real job"?

Most of these fool You Tubers are disgusting making money by exploiting Thais, especially Thai females.  They should all be shut down for good.

Well as long as all are adults and no one get cheated out of money, let them do their low IQ subculture. At least better than throwing your dog into the river to make a "I a the hero who rescue the dog" video.

Popular among Thai folk?

Really? 

 

 

I could easily question this. 

He has 13.3 million subscribers to his YouTube channel. 

This video was posted 3 days ago and has 2.1 million views already.

1 month ago he made a similar video where he hid from a Thai SWAT Team and that video got 1.7 million views.


His videos are all in Thai so the only people watching them are Thais. 

He's becoming the Mr Beast of Thailand
