A side of Thailand nobody talks about..

There are many different sides to the Thailand culture trapezoid. While a lot of the main differences compared to Western culture are covered at length all over the internet. There is one side to it that not a lot of people seem to talk about. Thai society is in general much more spiritual than it's Western counterparts. With Buddhism being ingrained in every day life, it makes sense that spirituality is just a normal part of day to day life in Thailand. And with that, comes superstition. Thailand has without a doubt some of the most unique superstitions I have ever experienced. A lot of them just being sort of fun and not so serious. To some that Thai people take relatively seriously. In today's video I'm sharing with you some of my favorite Thailand superstitions, a few that are important to know and some others that are just hilarious. Let's go!

    There’s only so much of Jomtien you can video folks before it gets repetitive like I told you Ian I love the green screen it gives you more time to put more into the actual information than time spent in a b roll I’ve always said out of all Thai influencers Ian by far doesn’t beat around the bush Fantastic subject mate 👍👍👍

    Hey man! I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I think “Thai superstition “ would have been a better title. But no big deal. American like you, married to a Thai woman for 7 years. We live part in Thailand mostly in America. We own a 40 room hotel in Phuket. So feel free to come stay for free at my hotel. From a content perspective, I wish more Thai centric content creators had more “off the beaten path” content. And that’s honestly what I expected from this video. Anyway, a few superstitions that my wife taught me: the person that eats the last morsel on a shared plate, gets the most attractive mate. If you buy someone shoes, that give them permission to walk away from you. If you buy someone a clock, it signals that their time with you is limited. It’s actually really fun to learn this stuff. You could have a series of 50-100 shorts on Thai superstitions. Then maybe a series of longer and then subsequent shorts on the difference in laws between US and Thailand. Maybe a series of you landed in bkk, here is how you get to pattaya (Phuket, CHIANG mai, etc). Would love to connect with ya at some time. Wish ya a million views!!! Jason

    Is that the royal cliff garden condos in the drone shot? I've considered that place for when I retire but it seems a but far from both jomtien and pattaya....maybe I should say far enough away with no main street to get to makes it longer and more inconvenient to get there. Are you familiar with that part of pratumnak and how convent is it to get to those 2places? Thanks in advance

    For years in Thailand I've told mothers that their babies are น่ารัก, na-rak, cute. Only recently did I discover the superstition about not saying that. How many Thai infants have I drawn down evil on because I said they were cute? Lord, forgive me! (Honestly, all Thai kids are really น่ารัก.)
