Timeless in Thailand - Lonely Planet Travel Video

[Lullabyenie]

why don't try to go to thai's temple?

[im20100]

okay. I'm Thai, teenager, but still don't know what full moon party is....

[meentouch]

i'm thai but i've never go to Full Moon Party :D only bitches go there ! :p

[topfycandy]

Full Moon Party was a party with cool performance. Then it turns out that some tourists bring beer to the party and some people make it worse when they have sex there.. It used to be a cool party.. now such a dirty party

[shlong456]

im goin thailand on tuesday for 5 weeks im 50% excited 50% scared i hope im not alone for long and meet some cool people like this guy :S

[ladygonads]

@shlong456 How was it?? I'm going in March..and feel the same :O)

[lunabachellier]

is thailand really dangerous to travel at this time? because they've been having political issues and stuff, and I'm leaving for thailanad in about a week. if anyone could give me some tips and things to be cautious about, that would be really helpful! thanks so much in advance.

[topfycandy]

@lunabachellier There's nothing. It's peaceful now

[MayzeSigSzalay]

[PaulRon2008]

[tonysilly]

[vietnamtravelmail]

Fabulos Trip want to visit thailand one more time.

[bellasonja]

omggg the place is so beautiful. the dude has nice eyes!

[varjo69]

Have been in Koh Tao 3 times during full moons, but never bothered to go Phangan... I like it quiet and relaxed. I think I wouldnt like the party.

[doofinovi]

@varjo69 We chill always in phangan until black or full moon party, then we switch to tao for the rest. its just the mix!

[visualguerillaFILMs]

very nice video! thx for uploading :)

[theguitarman501]

ah reminded me of my last visit to Thailand. Koh Samui island party zone for most. For me it was a moment or a week or more drifting in the sun, surf, friendly people the ThaI.

This video reminded me of all those pleasures of just being there enjoying the moment. But was it a moment? or a week - for me a couple of weeks...gotta head back thanks for visually reminding me of how much fun it was!

[niiickniiickniiick]

At 1.17, that dude eating a bug looks so so stoned

[Avngingandbright]

Spoken word is such an annoying nigger practice

[blahk04]

Awesome, I need to visit Thailand, but they need to stop their nonsense and get their shit together, they could be a great nation.

[jaiga]

@blahk04 we respect in every shirts and every countries.

Every nations've any nonsense problems.

[mickemelov]

It actually is a nice video. We have very good attitude towards tourists but we don't like the way you celebrate the full moon party, getting drunk, having sex and drug on the beach. It is bad example to Thai teenagers.

[muaythai4ko]

@mickemelov contradicting urself, ain't you?

[mickemelov]

@muaythai4ko "Tourists" ends with "s" which conveys the plural form. Many tourists are very nice and respectful to the countries they visit. Admittedly, many behave badly but Thais still like them which i do not know why.

[muaythai4ko]

@mickemelov Gee! thankxxxxxx FUCK Face!!! OOP! I mispelled it again, didn't I? Well hole me down & fuck me side way.... Ur a smart fella!!!!!... P.S {Ur = "you're"}.... just incase smart guy like you don't get it.

[mickemelov]

@muaythai4ko: sorry, you're not the type i'm going to fuxx.

[Armando2012102]

@mickemelov: A better example for Thai teenagers is the whorehouses next to schools, soap operas in which rape is OK, or having/becoming a "mia noi" and the hypocrisy of Thai society in general.

FUCKING HYPOCRITES, YOU MAKE ME SICK.

[mickemelov]

@Armando2012102: they have enough of bad examples from western countries. whatever bad that happen in there should not happen in thailand.

[Armando2012102]

@mickemelov: Shut your snout, moron. EVERY country in the WORLD has both negative and positive, so stop trying to convince us that Thailand is a paradise where everyone is pure and innocent, where the only evil is the West. We know it's not the truth.

[mayyaporn]

@mickemelov Why ? you think ! it's bad idea!!!

[otherjr]

This is the worst song I've ever heard.

[shnazer1]

what makes thailand beautiful is the people 2nd is the places.

[duantegurl]

Just about every travel company out there is listed on the DocketDirectories . com

From auto rentals to hotels and air fare....no need to shop around when it is all under one roof.

[The86416]

Why do you as a publisher give the gen on where gay areas are, but refuse 'on moral grounds' to give info on where you can find 'gik'?

Typical PC leftie crap.

One place in BKK is very proud to proclaim on a sign outside 'We are NOT in Lonely Planet' haahahaa

Your books are okay for maps and so on, but it's the sneering attitude towards people who actually bother to spend any money that grates. Seen LP hippy types sharing a bottle of water for an hour between 4. Wankers!

[plushest2]

cos gay isnt illegal...

[The86416]

I never said it was! But it sure is a darling topic of the PC brigade that LP subscribes to with regular monotony.

Equality? Nah, I think the pendulum has swung too far the other way, so to speak.

[georgesimmons61]

@The86416 you know it's so predictable what type of person you are, without even knowing you. Congratulations on being such a standard stereotype.

[The86416]

@georgesimmons61 Thanks. I appreciate your kind comment and accept it graciously.

[blackmaskboy]

Thailand is the beautiful place..

I'm Thai ^^

[aliemack1987]

[nomadicTurk]

damn

[hanmwah]

very nice video =]

[keepitthai]

true time just flys along in time land cause its so beautiful and layed back,i really want to live there for ever !!

[mm89f]

Ive been to the full moon party. Nice!!!!!!!!!!

[Jester995]

You ever tried to travel with the main objective being "getting pissed"? The inside of a bar looks the same anywhere you go and getting pissed is expensive and fucks you up. Travelling and getting pissed don't go together - people who just wanna get pissed may as well rot in their boring home town. I ain't against getting drunk once in a while but why spend £$£$ on travelling and then do shit you can do in any shithole, anywhere in the world.

[SilverGunZoO]

very true

[BenkaiDebussy]

@Jester995 I agree 100%. Actually, there's one exception - getting pissed with locals. But getting drunk with the people you're traveling with is ridiculous.

I prefer traveling by myself. I like finding places where people live "normally" and just walking and observing. When I was in HK, I took a train out of the city to the new territories area and walked from morning until evening, seeing people going to/leaving work and school. It's not dangerous or extreme, but I find it interesting.

[linkitcat]

slime ball American, third world freeloader, and this is travelling, where r the locals?

very sad

[TonyKaku]

So, before you got banned from YouTube, you just went around insulting people, I see. What a brave little soul.

[blackout310]

Going for the first time to Thailand in December of '08!!! Anyone know the best place to spend New Year's Eve in Thailand?

[curlykasimir]

I'm a lucky bastard, I'm going to thailand :) and cambodia, laos, vietnam, philippines and other places. this is going to be a loooooooooong trip and if I will love the place, I can move to cambodia :) europe is too boring.

[elevensmiles11]

yayyyyyyy, i get to go there for new years this year! for two weeks!

[watitdoboy24]

they firestick dance in thailand?

[karmamonade]

Visit Koh Chang. Visit Rocks end resort. Firestick dance every and all night.

[moonsseayp]

I really hate these kind of shitty visitors. I have never ever respect you whenever to come to Thailand. Party, drung and whatever, and don't mention again that if there is no demend, it means no supply. Think again, how party with drung on my contry beaches. Fucking visitors like you?

[drinkzzzz]

ladyboy.

[karmamonade]

Keep on smiling! Thais has such lovely smiles and

positive attitude. Sahnuk.

[sappho01]

And fluffysgonnadie: My comments are not aimed at you personally. But there seemed to a discussion here, sparked off by your video. So I just posted my thoughts.:) You keep travelling around the world and posting great videos.

[sappho01]

Whenever you visit a new country, you are supposed to respect the culture, dress a certain way, behave a certain way. But people from the affluent first world think they can walk into any situation wearing whatever they want to. People in Europe are pretty beligerent about their local character. Because the assumption is that only their culture is the standard (US or Europe). Everything else is wierd. Or the nicer folk would say "exotic".

[elevensmiles11]

i know, my sister went there and the fucking german pervs were all over her! & the shittyass europeans are so fucking disrespectful as well as americans ( again im not talking about everyone just the ones that acted that way)

[sappho01]

Hey I think these guys were just out to see the world and enjoying themselves without any intentional disrespect to the Thai culture. But having said that, I can also see where Raksaht's comments come from.Somebody has commented that people go to asia for cheap whores. That's not entirely incorrect. These countries are poverty stricken and people from reach countries exploit that. And when they go back, they do not really say anything about Thai culture, just the cheap sex and all night parties.

[brusieseabass]

Awesome， vid! It shows you havin a great time in an amazing place. And what an amazing place it is! The video has a great flow to it and at the end, "it was 2," is perfect.

[harvestspam]

very cool impressions.. want to go there again..

[jurbinsky77]

Blacks and dirty whites make the beautiful land of Thailand ugly. This person belongs to his native land..his standard of civilization is from where he came from.

[drinkzzzz]

new zealand is a great place man what are u on aboot?

[karlberg]

i think I understand what this video is all about...i guess it's about one of the best times the 'artist' has ever had. I respect that. It's poetic in some ways too aswell. And it shows newbies how beautiful Thailand can look. However, it's a seem that the 'artist' did not get to show any Thai people, cos they are the ones that make Thailand worthwhile wherever you are.

[fluffysgonnadie]

Karlberg, you are definitely right in that the Thai people are what make Thailand worth while. If I ever get a chance to make there again, I will try to show this.

[coastsj]

Nice work, I like the One Moment Or One Month

[stellamonster88]

i cant w8 to go to Thailand!!!

[leonnadi]

Love this video!

[ripperj81]

Damn how I hate the typical stupid tourists like this guy. The thing i can't understand is why they all dress the exact same way. do they dress like this when back at home??

[Raksaht]

He thinks he's being cool and unique probably... yawn. He's just one more cheap charlie backpacking poser.

[fluffysgonnadie]

Not trying to be cool or unique, just being myself.

[karmamonade]

First you have to find your "self", and IF you find your "self", you may not even want to be-

[creten69]

no,because everyones true self is pure,and absolute,dont worry i already thunk all thoughts.teehee

[veedubbb]

lol what the fuck are you talking about.. what the hell is wrong with traveling. whats wrong with taking advantage of the dollar and traveling. what did you want him to wear a fucking gay army shirt? check yourself before you make fun of people these guys are living it up

[fluffysgonnadie]

Thank you. I did, indeed, live it up and I hope that those with the negative comments have the chance one day to do the same.

[veedubbb]

i know some people really. they think that if you go to Amsterdam its like your supporting prostitution or something. they don't understand what its like to take in the culture and enjoy the experience. shame really looked like you had a blast hope to go there one day. btw you guys are dressed pretty fucking normal looking to me i don't know what these people are talking about. there just all jealous because they never go anywhere and sit at home all day:P

[fluffysgonnadie]

lol, yes, I dress that way at home.

[Raksaht]

And the overall message to the locals is that foreigners think that Thailand is a place to be irresponsible and a place to party. Full Moon Parties result in tons of trash.

Stay home and ruin your own country and leave Thailand for folks who have a bit more respect for the people, the culture and the natural environment.

If you get raped, well, it's not entirely your fault, but getting sh1t-faced drunk does leave you open to attack.

Respect other countries or don't go! This guy is a poser.

[fluffysgonnadie]

I hold a deep respect for Thailand. You can say whatever you want but it will not change that truth.

I have respected every single country I have been in and every single culture as well.

[billb616]

do you think that these parties went on just because he was there? They were put on by people in Thailand. You go around tossing this much anger and hate all day? Bet you'd go over great at the party.

[Raksaht]

If there wasn't a demand, there wouldn't be a supply. Partying foreigners do nothing for Thai culture. They just make money for lazy Thais who don't have enough intelligence to do anything productive.

I'm not angry. I'm just saying what thousands of Thais and expats who live here think. I support five families here and I help Thais who want help. What do you do for Thailand? What did 'party boy' do for Thailand?

I don't go to parties. I'm not a child.

[moonsseayp]

I have no idea who you are. But if i have a chance to see you in my country i will fucking kill you by myself.

[wcgillian]

Very well done!

RJ

[iad80]

Koh Pha Ngan is very nice.

[superdaws]

Yep, totally. The one change I'd make to my  life if I had it all over again....I'd spend more time in Thailand !!!!

[mcctg13]

How i'd love to experience that feeling again. It's like your young and stupid once more.
