One Night in Bangkok

In this episode I sit down with Mew, the founder of Bangkok Events, who runs social events almost every night of the week and has watched thousands of foreigners and Thais meet for the first time. We talk about why it can be hard for foreigners to make friends with Thai people, why Thai guys mostly stick to their own groups, the mistakes foreigners make when they talk to Thai people, why your sarcasm probably isn't landing, and whether Thai people actually find the "my buffalo is sick" joke funny.http://instagram.com/bangkokevents

Max Chernov interviews billionaires and longterm expats all over Asia. He lives in Singapore, owns apartments in Phuket, and flies into Bangkok regularly. We talk about how he got into interviewing people on YouTube, the reality of raising a family in Bangkok, and what the people who've been here 20+ years understand about Thailand that the two-year guys don't.

In this episode I sit down with Guide, who runs one of the most popular nightlife tours in Bangkok. Yes, her name is Guide, and yes, she ended up becoming one. We talk about Thai names, family career expectations, how she builds a night out for people visiting Bangkok, and more. We also get into tourist behavior in Thailand, what's happening in Pattaya, the 5,000 US sailors arriving for a little "celebration," and where to go out in Bangkok.🟣 VISIT PASTEL ROOFTOP📍https://maps.app.goo.gl/8tfTL3jgbEdqm1vB7https://instagram.com/pastelbangkok🍾 GUIDE'S NIGHTLIFE TOURhttp://bkkclubcrawl.com/weekends

On my first ever day in Thailand I traveled to the temples of Ayutthaya to experience some of Thailand’s most beautiful history. Little did I know, I had actually “been” here before… In this episode I recount some of the most famous movies filmed in Thailand, their locations, and what makes the magic of cinema so special. I also talk about some of the recent nightlife spots I’ve discovered, tips for your next night out, and more.

For our 100th episode I sit down with Ton: entrepreneur, investor, and one of the partners behind Baccarat, which has been one of the most talked-about nightclubs in Bangkok over the last few years. We got into the Bali run club situation, the BTS incident with the Italian students, why Thailand has laws that can land you in court over a few words, and the thing that’s probably most interesting; his take that most foreigners here are living inside a version of Thailand that was built for them. Ton is Thai, and in this episode he does not hold back. We also got into Thailand's class system, why dating a Westerner can be complex for a lot of Thai women, what actually works when you're trying to talk to someone in a Bangkok nightclub, and the mistakes foreigners make setting up a business (including the nominee structure that's now getting caught by AI). And to finish it all off, I ask Ton to plan your perfect night out in Bangkok, from start to finish.
