he does NOT have a work permit, just a non-b visa

 

But it seems that people are allowed to work on Non-B...

 

 

[balo]

The business visa was bought from an agent , very easy to do that when you earn millions in baht . He was prepared and has made Thailand his new home. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up as a Thai citizen in  a few years time.  

 

He is the most famous foreigner living in Thailand , that's for sure, with over 300 million views in total .

Both him and his fiance are making tons of money right now,  

 

3 days ago he posted another video and it already reached 630k views.

He was on a Thai advert for chewing gum, was shown on the tv.

The derailed get escorted off of the track with traffic stopped and all power turned off usually. Unless a coin causes a catastrophic derailment with mass fatalities

It is a classic case of not drinking enough Redbull.

 

Redbull makes you invisible... murder vs crashing coins? Crashing coins is obviously unacceptable crime!

It hasn't that's my point

I never put coins on a train track when I was a kid because there weren't any I could do it on, but I've seen coins that have been squashed and even though I'm now 50 if I got a chance to try it myself I probably would.  

Be quite good fun I reckon!

you got too much time on your hands

Nice to see that the State Railways of Thailand (SRT) seem to have no other problem whatsoever.

 

This coin flattening has been done by boys, albeit much younger than this idiot, all over the world. Our physics teacher took us along and explained physics of weight, speed and how different metal react. All supervised by the teacher and some helpers on a two-kids-on-one-adult basis. Scotch-taped coins made of copper, nickel and silver were used to explain the impact of rapid expansion (the coins were still hot three minutes after the train had passed) and no, there were no marks whatsoever on the track itself as the track was made of harder steel than all the various coins.

So dig in your law books and fine regulations (no pun intended); reprimand this clown accordingly and get on with business. The SRT might look into their rolling stock of historic decay and the BiB might look into the Red Bull's grandson file - which is of course considerably less important than flattening foreign coins by an alien. 

Good luck prankster Nate did not resort to local coins .......... he would rot in hell for that! 

you were doing ok until you said "look in your law books!" the thai's do not need law books to throw someone out of the country, if they don't like you, you are gone! I am talking about the thai police and gov't not the people.

In the Thailand's Thai Post newspaper yesterday, it was reported that in addition to the railway incident charges, Bangkok's Prawet Police Station were preparing to charge Bartling under section 10 of Thai animal cruelty laws which carries a 2 year jail sentence and/or a fine not exceeding 40,000 Baht.
This was after complaints were made about his Youtube video of his cats fighting a scorpion last month.

Yep, same with me ... used to flatten pennies on the Liverpool to Manchester line ... but we dern't tell anybody, and no video in those days, thank goodness .... and Mum and Dad never knew .... unless they read ThaiVisa now !

Heaven FORBID that you have any success in Thailand.

 

While I agree that he's a <deleted>'er, I have nothing against him.

 

Just an idiot kid is all.....And weren't we all at some point?

 

We just had the good fortune that Youtube didn't exist. I'm 50 BTW.

 

LOL, when I was a kid there did'nt even exist TeleVision.

We had a radio with a spin dial.

What do you think we kids and later teenagers did as entertainment?

As you say, good there was no Internet or YouTube.

Gould have made $$$ in the millions on Social Networks.

My Mate Nate youtube channel video views is nearly hitting 600 million. 

 

Yes, his girlfriend isn't doing too bad with her Youtube account either 

900+k Subscribers, her videos have been viewed +61,500,000 times and she only joined in Nov 2016!

It's working here but it's not a job you can get a work permit for. So it's different work from what any work permit would say. It's like being self-employed and as far b as I know you can't do that in Thailand. Turns out he has a business visa so he must be bending the rules there. So its not speculation but what ever you think.

Thai kills 2 gets 2 1/2 years.
Farang trespasses likely to get 2 1/2 decades.

Everyone has to bend the rules here to survive. Some get away with it for years, some get caught at the airport coming in.

This is Thailand - a country that make you feel young and make you do things that fit for someone half your age....

 

(1) 60 years old men hand in hand with 20 yrs old girls who normally fit with 30 yrs old boys...

 

(2) 38 yrs old start his tagging career what you would expect teenagers to do...

 

(3) 24 yrs old do railway-track coin prank that you could expect from a 12 yrs old... 

 

and so on...

 

Thailand seems to be the answer to the youth source...;)
