Lot's of good clips and editing in that video, so I agree it is likely staged. Nothing like the real vacation videos you see.

You must be joking. Staged?? Do you really think so?

[eddiekho]

so touching.... i missed thai!!!

[Regyai]

Lost everything, luckily retained the production crew

[Alwyn]

I agree with #7. It made me barf

[tzar]

Stunning physique, James (or whatever your name may be).

That is the one & only thing from this video which is real &

agreeable.

The rest ... wishful thinking.

Shouting profanity at a policeman as you appear to do in the

video would have cost you dearly.

Hurling rocks at a taxi cab may have cost you your life.

Dream on.

I don't hate Thailand...but I do hate the buffaloes that run the country and educate the population. If only they had been colonised..... alt=whistling.gif>

Damn I hope you're joking

You're not seriously suggesting that colonisation is a good thing are you?

Yes I am. Thailand demonstrates over and over again that they are incompetent at doing anything. Colonise, set them up, show them how it's done...then leave.

Oh you mean like the Brits did with the USA. Look what happened to them.

And India did alright too!

[djYUjah]

After watching the video three times, I missed the bit where he goes to the immigration to 1) get an extension on his visa and 2) applyfor a work permit, because at the end of the video, apparently he's an English teacher

So basically what this video is showing is, "Come to Thailand, go to the islands, lose all your documentation, fall in love with a beautiful beach girl, and become a teacher!" mai pen lai... no problem!

Are they sending the right message with this video? I don't think so...

[rijb]

Where is 'thailen'? Is it next to 'thialin'?

Seems you may need to learn to adjust and adapt more

You're not in Kansas anymore Toto

Reason why I like Thailand, it's not Kansas.

[Jingthing]

Kansas is scary! Twisters!

TBH - I had a similar experience some years ago when I lost a bag on a beach and had it returned with all the money the next morning, but that's tempered by every bugger who tries to rip me off when working on my house, also how on earth does he manage to stay so long with the current visa rules....... :-)

Here's an example, I've been quoted £3000 to paint my house - my builder from the UK is willing to fly out and do it cheaper.........

What a bunch of grumpy old men (GOM) on this post...it is an "advertisement". An advertisement is used to promote a particular product. Do you GOM think those Viagra commercials you see will really get you that strong? or the Chang Beer commercials will get you those beautiful women? It is a commercial, and a darn good one. I notice (like in any country) once you get outside the big greedy cities, the locals are like this. Sad you haven't had the same experience.

Thailand should be colonized by who, the UK or the US, or perhaps even China?

[Beetlejuice]

I think there is some fact in the video, but that`s only because the guy is young hansum man. If any of us older folk were to find ourselves in similar situations, there would be no sympathetic young ladies to give us emotional support and TLC, no nice people wanting to befriend us offering hospitality, or at least if not offering money, and the police would assume that we have mislaid our bag because our memories have lapsed due to senile dementia setting in and no one would show the slightest of interest in our predicament.

How events shape for us, no matter where we are, all depends on what side of the fence we`re on.

"After all, paying for make-believe fantasies to influence how people think is just propaganda."

Cynical and deviate.

Ok I get it now , it was TAT

creepy

[santa1000]

In real life:

After he said to the cop: &lt;deleted&gt; hurry up, he would be dead

After he trew the stone at the car, he would be dead

Immigration would arrest him for overstaying his visa and working without WP.

And we would read about him on Thaivisa: A young foreigner commited suicide after he lost everything.

[Jingthing]

WAY too much truthiness for TAT!

[Goshawk]

that video is total unbelievable hogwash . . . !

(everyone knows that those pesky little macaques would've torn that little bag to shreds & ransacked it)

[ggt]

This is such BS compared to real life...sure the Thais are going to take pity on a young farang who lost his bag...right...

[KhnomKhnom]

I had to skip forward in the video because I have come to hate that accent.

There should be a follow up video I Hate That Accent.

[kinmaew]

I like that loud beep, you are ALWAYS in the way especially at the most stressful moment its AAAARRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

That puss looks like Mamee you know her from the Butterfly man?

I will concede though that sometimes you just have to take a step back.

[ExPratt]

Looks like he's working illegally .

[socksy01]

Good promo video by TAT. Hope he had the relevant visa for acting.

No further questions your honour. I rest my case. For flocks sake I've just realised I've become Sherlock Holmes. You didn't need to be Einstein to work that one out.

You have a point.

[hiller]

This video is just so wrong!

[jacko45k]

Does he have a work permit or 'study' on an ED visa?

[MrY]

They should have hired these guys to do the video (it's been posted before but worth doing again):

I watch it sometimes to remind myself what it felt like when I first arrived. And why I stayed.
