ResandePohm Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzar Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 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.

djYUjah Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grabitanrun Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 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.........

toenail Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 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.

Beetlejuice Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santa1000 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 In real life: After he said to the cop: <deleted> 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrY Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 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.
