00:09Hi, how are you doing?
00:10I'm good, thank you. How are you?
00:11I'm good, thank you.
00:12Good.
00:13Where are you from?
00:14So I'm from Buxton, which is kind of about an hour outside of Manchester in the Peak District in England.
00:19I've been to London once.
00:20Oh, okay, nice. You've never ventured up north then?
00:23Not yet, but I want to go.
00:24You should do. The north is better. The north is better.
00:27Oh, it's better. Wow.
00:28Yeah.
00:28How long is the trip in Thailand?
00:31So in Thailand, I only got here yesterday and I'm spending about 10 days here just in Thailand,
00:36but I was in Malaysia before for about two and a half weeks.
00:39What brought you to Thailand?
00:41It was a bit spontaneous, really. I was actually just meant to stay in Malaysia,
00:45but then I kind of fancy just a bit more sun.
00:48So I just decided to come up to Thailand on a bit of a whim, really.
00:51How did you stay in Thailand so far?
00:53I mean, I've only spent one night here, but so far it's good.
00:56I mean, I came to Phuket about eight years ago and already like it's a lot more touristy than it
01:01was eight years ago.
01:02So I'm not sure how I'll enjoy it.
01:05So many Western travelers here.
01:07Yeah, a lot. I mean, coming from Malaysia,
01:09Malaysia was so different. It was a lot quieter, not as many tourists.
01:12So it's a big kind of culture change, really.
01:15What do you do for a living?
01:17So I work for the British government. I work for the tax office.
01:20Everybody hates the tax people, so I don't really like admitting that.
01:24Oh, wow. But yeah, great job. I mean, stable, basically.
01:28Yeah, yeah, very stable, very stable.
01:30But yeah, not many people like the tax people, so I don't really like saying that.
01:33So you are good at math?
01:35Oh, I wouldn't really say so. I'm good with a calculator.
01:38Not very good with like mental maths.
01:41Do you have any dating advice for guys?
01:43Well, I mean, it's been like two years since I've dated.
01:46But I'd probably just say from traveling and meeting kind of like guys,
01:51just kind of be yourself. Don't try and kind of impress too much.
01:54A lot of like touristy guys you meet are very kind of obnoxious and arrogant.
01:57So just be nice, really.
01:59Thank you for your time.
02:00No worries. Thank you so much.
02:01Have a nice trip.
02:02You too. Thanks.

02:10Oh, Privet.
02:11Privet, Privet.
02:12How long is the trip in Thailand?
02:14For now I'm here like the fifth day.
02:17When will you go back to Russia?
02:18I don't know yet. I didn't buy a back ticket.
02:21Oh, good.
02:22So what do you do for a living?
02:24I'm general manager in a bar in Russia.
02:26Yeah, and you speak English very well.
02:28Yeah, a little.
02:29How did you learn English?
02:30I was studying English in school very good and I was dating with American boy, man.
02:36It was very good practice.
02:38He's good.
02:39He's good.
02:40Yeah, very good.
02:41Why did you decide to come to Thailand?
02:43I love Thailand.
02:44It's my fourth time here.
02:46Yeah, I was different places and I love Thailand.
02:49Culture and vibe, very good.
02:52Do you like Thai food?
02:53Yeah.
02:54Yeah, I like Thai food very much.
02:55There are many Russian people.
02:57Yeah, very, very Russian people like Thailand very much.
03:01I don't know people who doesn't like a lot.
03:04Have you faced any culture shock in Thailand?
03:06I can't say right now.
03:08They are very kind and very, very open people.
03:12But Bangla Road, I was yesterday there.
03:14It's a little bit crazy place at night.
03:17Yeah, very busy.
03:19What advice would you give to other Western travelers?
03:22Just to be open.
03:23To be open for people, for traveling, for new experience and enjoy time.
03:29And of course, to take some sunscreen cream.
03:32Very, very hot and very strong sun.
03:36And mosquitoes sometimes?
03:37Mosquitoes?
03:38I didn't meet a lot.
03:40You look very popular among guys.
03:41Maybe.
03:42So, do you have any dating advice for guys?
03:45The same as today one.
03:47To be open.
03:48To be open to new experience and just to be kind and happy.
03:53Alright, so thank you for your time.
03:55Have a nice trip.
03:56Thank you, you too.

03:58Where are you from?
03:59I'm from Ukraine.
04:01Privit.
04:02Privit.
04:03How long is the trip in Thailand?
04:05My trip is three months.
04:06Pretty long.
04:07Yeah.
04:08Why did you decide to come to Thailand?
04:10Just to skip the winter in my country, you know.
04:13In Ukraine, it's like minus 10 degrees.
04:16Super cold.
04:17What do you like the most in Thailand?
04:18I like people.
04:19They're very kind and friendly to me.
04:23And food.
04:24Thai food also very cool.
04:26What is your favorite Thai food?
04:28I like hot rice.
04:30Steamed rice with vegetables.
04:32Do you feel it's cheap in Thailand?
04:34Yeah, I think it's still cheaper than in my country.
04:37But Ukrainian currency is the same as Thai currency.
04:42So it's not very cheap compared to my country.
04:46But still a little bit cheaper.
04:48Do you have any dating advice for guys?
04:50Hmm.
04:51Nice question.
04:52Be real.
04:54Thank you for time.
04:55Thank you too.
04:55Yeah.
04:57Where are you from?
04:58From France.
04:59You know, Cairns.
05:00South of France.
05:01We also have beaches.
05:02But smaller than this one.
05:04Do you like this beach?
05:05Yeah.
05:06But there's so much better beach on this side.
05:09But it's a secret.
05:10So yeah.
05:12When did you come here?
05:13One month ago.
05:14Traveling on my own.
05:15And then in a few hours, I'm going to Singapore and then to Bali.
05:19So like a short trip.
05:21What do you do for a living?
05:22Well, I'm a wedding planner in south of France.
05:25So generally, it's more quiet.
05:27So that's why I travel.
05:29But I also work from here.
05:30I got a busier call with my clients.
05:33So I can work from anywhere.
05:34Are you married?
05:35No.
05:37No, I'm not married.
05:38I have no time for it.
05:40I mean, I work or I travel.
05:41That's it.
05:42So what brought you to Thailand?
05:43I came here before COVID and I like this place.
05:47I mean, there's everything I need.
05:49There's a beach.
05:50There's parties and sun and beautiful landscape.
05:53So that's why I come always in Thailand.
05:56My bike.
05:56Thai people are very, very kind.
05:58And that's why it's good to be here.
06:00You feel safe.
06:01At the girl traveling alone, it's always good to feel safe and in security.
06:06So with Thai people, it's perfect.
06:08How much is the budget for the trip in Thailand?
06:10Well, it changed a bit after COVID, you know,
06:13because before the flight ticket was very cheap also.
06:17And actually the flight tickets are the most expensive for now.
06:20So that's the main difference between before COVID and now.
06:25But I mean, if you're on your own and just want to spend good time,
06:30but yeah, use too much money.
06:32If you come for one month, maybe 1,500 euro or 2,000, it's good.
06:38You can do whatever you want, have fun.
06:40And so, yes, it's very, very cheap.
06:42Is that true?
06:43You can spend a day and spend like only 500 baht, which is very, very small budget.
06:50So, yeah.
06:50Thank you for your time.
06:52My pleasure.
06:53Merci beaucoup.
06:54You're welcome.
06:55Merci beaucoup.
06:55Where are you from?
06:57From Italy.
06:57How long is the trip in Thailand?
06:59It's three months.
07:00It's my fourth time here.
07:03It's nice.
07:03Nice for relax, nice for beach.
07:05For CFO, Thai massage, very strong.
07:08Where is your favorite place in Thailand?
07:10For life, Phuket.
07:12For the beach, Pipe Island, Kolipe.
07:14Bangalore, yeah, I prefer to go to Kamala, Cafe del Mar, Bantao, Ketch Beach and Maya Beach.
07:21It's my favorite place.
07:23What advice would you give to other western travelers?
07:26There is many places and Krabi is nice.
07:30Kolipe, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Koh Samui.
07:34My Koh Samui, the high season is June, July, August.
07:37Thank you for your time.
07:38No worries.
07:39Sorry for my English.
07:40Oh, it's okay.
07:41Gracias.
07:42Ciao, ciao.
07:44I'm from France.
07:45Bonjour.
07:46Bonjour.
07:48Hello.
07:49How long is your trip in Thailand?
07:51I'm here for one month.
07:53What's your plan in Thailand?
07:55I've been to Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Krabi.
07:59It's my first time in Phuket.
08:01Where is your favorite place in Thailand?
08:03I think it's Krabi.
08:04Oh, Krabi. Oh.
08:05Well, I've been in Haonang.
08:06Why do you like Krabi?
08:08I love the beaches and people are so nice.
08:11What brought you to Thailand?
08:12The sun, people and the food.
08:15Oh, yeah.
08:16Do you like Thai food?
08:17Yeah, I love it.
08:18What's your favorite Thai food?
08:19I love Pad Thai.
08:21What do you do for a living?
08:23I'm working in a hotel in France.
08:25Thank you for your time.
08:28Merci beaucoup.
08:29Merci.
08:30I think Thailand is very...
08:32People have a lot of respect and they are very nice people.
08:36You know, so I have been actually shocked in a good way.
08:40You know, because everywhere I go, people treat me very good.
08:43You know, and I think Thailand is much more affordable.
08:45Oh, yeah.
08:46A lot more affordable.
08:48The last time I was outside Sweden, I was in Turkey.
08:52Turkey is also very beautiful and it used to be cheap.
08:55But the inflation has worsened the economy so much so that everything has become more expensive
09:02and your money is not worth a lot anymore, you know.
09:05But in Thailand, it's still cheap.
09:08I don't understand why I would go to any place else.
09:11Maybe the flight tickets are a little bit more expensive or maybe double expensive.
09:16But I mean, it's worth it.
09:18How much is the budget for the trip in Thailand?
09:20I had a budget.
09:21I broke it.
09:23So not very good budget.
09:25But I had like 30,000 crowns or something.
09:30That's for three weeks.
09:32Including hotels and you know, everything, flight tickets.
09:35So it's actually not that much but you know, I have parties as well.
09:40You know, drank some alcohol.
09:42I've been out to clubs and stuff like that with other friends.
09:46And so it becomes more expensive, you know.
09:48But I think my total budget will be maybe 40,000 crowns.
09:53Yeah, it's enough actually.
09:54Yeah, it should be enough.
09:56Yeah, it's a big budget.
09:57Thank you for your time.
09:58Yeah, thank you.
09:59Have a nice trip.

10:34Maybe it's because it's cheap and affordable compared to Norway, so 10 times Thailand.
