Seen many old Westerners walking around Thailand sticking their cameras in peoples faces and filming them and putting it online . There may be good reason why these Chinese people don't want to be filmed and the [pianist should respect their request . Such a rude guy All they had to do was walk away. In fact earlier not shown in all the clips the woman came up to him all happy and smiles, chatting to him, and one male from their group actually played as well. Why should he obey them? It was their minder that was extremely rude. Brenden was calm and explained the law in the UK. He has now been interviewed on 3 TV channels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a rude guy This is about Britain where there is freedom of speech, and freedom to film in public places?. Not about Thailand. What country are you from that forbids that? Should no one have a dash cam or CCTV? Wherever you are in Thailand you are being filmed. Should I insist 7/11, restaurants, bars, etc. etc. turn of their cameras when I go shopping? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps rehearsed on the part of the Chinese. Chinese vloggers are going out to present certain places in a negative light for domestic purpose. I think you understand. There was one in Nana recently. They engineer certain situations. One of the women already has legal proceeding against her in her native country. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, he just played the part of an obnoxious Brit (im British myself) - why not just tell them, "yes, of course I will delete your images on a livestream, ok, yes, no problem" and let them walk away - no need to provoke the Chinese, who may be visitors to the country. If it was Thailand, Dr. K would just smile, say yes and then upload, making some excuse how it wasn't possible. I was watching an episode of Panorama, "Is China watching you?" one girl comes from the same group as mentioned in the program, one that harasses Hong Kong dissidents - so there is a little more to this, they weren't just average Joe tourists in the background enjoying the spring vacation holiday like they claim. There was also a Japanese film crew there, filming British station pianos. There are too many random occourences, I dont believe this is setup, but everyone is milking it. The media circus that has been following this - like c'mon, the guy has been on TalkTV, Piers Morgan and Fox News - what an embarrassment - no such thing as bad publicity, right, this guy makes a living from YouTube views, as long as he keeps dragging this out, he's quids in. While I agree that he's well within his rights to perform and film, the Chinese have no rights to request he delete footage, but he should respect their right to ask without appearing as a sarcastic British <deleted> and the rail management should just remove the security guards from Elton Johns piano - it hasn't stopped anything, he has just moved to another station with his predictable playing.

There was one guy many years ago around Chiang Mai that would go around filming everything and interviewing foreigners. I saw him one time at the food market our eyes met and I quickly ducked into a store to avoid having to do an interview.
