It's the Swiss that we don't want now. Try to keep up with trends.

Failed in England try Thailand instead.

 

How did the media find out about this rando?

What other parts in this story are bogus?

 

Yeah flying to Thailand on a one way ticket is is a thing and I have done it many times.

He looks more like a Islamic Terrorist, than a British man🤣🤣🤣

[mfd101]

22? Looks more like 32.

 

But a child at heart. Does he have a big let-down awaiting!

Am 99% certain he will require a ticket of some sorts (plane/train/boat/camel) to arrive in Thailand.

Well if he's the same guy that I've found on Linkedin, he certainly seems to have his smarts about him. Better qualified than I ever was.

 

Former President of Reading University Kickboxing Society | Bsc. Economics graduate from the University of Reading

United Kingdom.

 

He doesn't strike me as the sort of guy who'd just strike out without having some sort of game plan. Good luck to the young fella. I hope Thailand delivers what he's striving for.

What it demonstrates to me is how absolutely useless a degree in Economics from Reading University really is! 🙂

Anyway, the good news about all of this is that the UK is rid of a loser, (at least until he comes crying back to mummy...)

[4MyEgo]

Strange looking Brit, oh well, guess he has assimilated as he sure does wing like a Pom  😂

Well that goes without saying of course.I thought we were all in agreement on that. but I was concerned he would start a trend, Brits would, discover the place and given the already  Swish infestation things could get really ugly

Bit harsh, I think the young lad is right, he has nothing to lose by giving it a go.

[bluejets]

.....and at some future time, perhaps reality kicks in.

Like, what to do for money ,obviously has zero savings, any form of health insurance would eat into anything he might have,how will he work here, how to pay for whatever visa just lets you plonk youself down here forever and a day and broadcast the fact on some 2 bit social media site.

Absolute tosser.......

Sure looks like the sort of guy you want to hire to teach English, huh?

 

High school drop out cant work in Thai school needs bachelor degree its very strict now compared to decades ago and he is way to young to even think about living in Thailand. 

[michaellee]

A dreamer, been smoking too much weeds. Go home work save and live with your parents till you have enough money to come back.

What i do find very offensive about him, is his constant call  that ANYONE can do it.  It's false influencing, and quite harmful to impressionable idiots who may well be naive enough to just run out here, without realising they are unable to work here easily, long term visa issues, no free health care, and the actual fact Thailand is not that cheap, etc

 

There are quite a few young Brits on TikTok like him extolling the virtues of Thailand and reviling the UK.Mostly they are thuggish creeps but there are also decent Gap Year types who are in love with Thailand - not a wrong reaction from a young arrival - we've all been there.

 

This particular individual is a pleasant enough young man but super naive, and I suspect a bit thick..He should lose his horrible speaking manner and stop sculpting his eyebrows.

[essex boys]

The blokes a dick always slagging of the Uk in his videos, he will want to live here by bumming around maybe try teaching ( could teach Thai kids to say innit and bro) he will soon become another E beggar setting up patreon on his videos so you can donate to help him sustain his bum life in Thailand

Before departing for Thailand, Riyan worked 30 hours a week as a receptionist at Powerleague, earning £11 per hour (500 baht).

OMG, how many times have I seen these dreamers come out here, never going home (Murphys Law, how is that Irish guy going, did he go home?).

 

He'll be back in the UK in a few years OR in the BKK Hilton.

Which Irish guy the Thairish times one or the one in Rachada who did time for trying to strangle his mrs back in Ireland? he stalks women on the street filming them and uploading to YT.

These young unqualified potless vloggers have no way of staying permanently, pretending to train in Muay Thai for a year or two is about the longest they can manage. They think they can get by on 'content' income all posting the same drivel about 7/11 toasties, Icon Siam, showing condo tours or just walking around moaning about the heat.

I wish the guy well, but I think he's in for a rude awakening when he has to extend his stay beyond the 2 months he's already experienced.  And another when he figures out that working in Thailand legally requires a little more than hanging a shingle and counting the till.   At his age, I'm not sure there's an option other than employment (WP) or Elite.   And I suspect it'll get even harder to fly under the radar once the Revenue Department starts tracking incoming money for tax purposes in 2024.

 

On a related topic, did any of the "shared space" businesses ever gel where they "hire" foreigners who make their money online, keeping them legal with a WP, remitting the required taxes, etc?  They seemed to be a thing before Covid, but I lost track of the trend when I was a Covid refugee and quit paying attention.

 

Nothing new about about the Revenue Department tracking incoming money. However, Riyan Ruparilia will need to find a good job here in order to survive. Not easy. I hope he's well qualified.

Imagine the situation if all those immigrants start leaving London and come to Thailand on British passports. Millions of "Londoners" have British passport but I seriously doubt Thailand wants THOSE Brits to come on 30 day visas. Is it just me or are Thai's  pretty racist against Arabs? I think so.
