Popular among Thai folk?

Really? 

 

 

I could easily question this. 

Okay... What's the easy answer?

[findlay13]

Who was defending this infant on here awhile back? A big article saying how he wasn't  a  wa******* anymore

[sikishrory]

The most irritating pipsqueak I can think of in Thailand.

If his content had anything vaguely intelligent, entertaining or appealing it would be ok but it's just childish garbage.

[Bim Smith]

So absolutely no criticism of the many Police who were so easily bought. Take note next time you're in a spot of bother.

[arick]

Doesn't sound American l!

Yep, Nate is young, wealthy and speak fluent Thai. Of course the AN crowd is gonna hate him ????

[cdnhawk]

He's trying to copy MrBeast and not doing that great a job. MrBeast is smart and much less annoying.

[SiSePuede419]

"Influencer" ????

[Andycoops]

Why on earth did they do it.

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

“I hired 50 police officers to hunt for me and my team members in the abandoned shopping mall!”

To be honest I don't see the attraction in this man-child parading around as an adult.

Yet thousands follow him funding his lavish lifestyle and childish antics....

A crazy world we live in now.

[kentrot]

How much did he pay each BIB (cop) ? 

I guess his YouTube channel is popular enough that he gets monetized

such that he can afford to hire these cops as "extras" in his prank.

In a nutshell ... "Dumb & Dumber"

Do you mean Nate?  Or the participating police?

 

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

 

No, Nate is taking the urine, he has obviously paid for their services indulging in a childish game, how much does dignity cost these days?

[hitext]

And now he has everyone from regular Thais to old-fart AN readers talking about him, driving traffic to YouTube and notching up a few thousand more subscribers. 

 

That should get him from his current 13.3 million subscribers to around 15 million...plus a nice chunk of extra ad revenue.

 

Well done, "my mate," - excellent publicity stunt!

[kcpattaya]

Lots of jealous people here...

[jacko45k]

I clicked on play but quickly stopped it.... who on earth wants to get yelled at like that early in the morning?

No! They are eternal children, all of them!

[Nicholas Paul KNIGHT]

Well if he is paying them,better that than scamming unsuspected drivers, walkers etc on spurious made up offences

This idiot again. I suspected it from the headline before reading the post.

Just confirms BIB for hire!

[bamnutsak]

This must be a huge embarrassment for the Royal Thai Police. A Gigantic Joke.

 

Every participant should be suspended without pay for at least 90 days. And the entire chain of command needs to be sacked.

 

I can't believe the police unholster their weapons.

 

Can't tell for sure but it looks like some Special Branch 191 members?

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

There was a sycophantic interview on Aseannow a while ago lauding Nate. Wonder if the author still feels the same way.  

[mberbae]

Most people who hate Nate are probably envious of his Thai Language skills.

As for the police, the ONLY time you see any of them in numbers is when  they

provide road assistance for a VIP motorcade., or at a Checkpoint , where they

NEVER check for working tail lights.

[mikebell]

Thai cops succeed in 3 out of 7 cases!  That seems a very generous ratio.

No no no, you under estimate him.

[Srikcir]

On the practical side, former volunteer English teacher in Thailand Nathan had as of April 2023 about 13 million subscribers versus almost 1.4 million subscribers in 2016. As of July 2019 he had a 50 million baht home in Thailand.

How many complaining net citizens can match that success? No trafficking, no scams, no gambling, etc. I'm sure the Thai government would like to see more Nathan-type YouTubers living in Thailand adding to the culture, wealth and democratization of the nation.
