*****FROM GREG WATANABE*******
In an effort to respond to some of the negative comments about this sketch, I offer an explanation (note, I didn't write this sketch):

This piece is primarily about how some people's view of Thailand is distorted by it's reputation as a destination for sex tours. There are many reasons how this came to be, none of them are Thailand's per se. The U.S. military is probably the most to blame.

Clearly, as the sketch itself points out, there are many other aspects of Thailand to be proud of.

As an Asian American, the fetishization of the Asian female is a familiar topic. The view of Asian or Asian American females as sex objects is both an issue of sexism and racism. On a national scale, the stereotypical view of Thailand as a destination for exotic prostitution is an issue of de facto military occupation and economic colonization.

For me, this piece is about the stereotypes of Thailand and unfair and hypocritical treatment it receives from other countries.

If prostitute is all of our country that you know, you have to know that you are so pathetic.

We have many good things but you can see only bad side of our country. That must be caused by your eye or brain problems which effect to your perception. I suggest you to consult your doctor. Maybe he can do an eye or brain removal surgery. This may help to improve your vision, thought and intellect.

People who know the shit and still like to play with shit are not different from shit.

you thai people and your own government has bought this stigma upon yourselves..... you only have yourselves to blame..... you can try to use excuses and blame other using examples all you want but the truth is, Thailand really is the worlds brothel.... i've seen countless videos of old men in pattya on here or those numerous sites where people go to fuck thai whores and forcing them to do degrading stuff such as eating shit

[AuxiliaryExit]

I am surprised so many Thai don't see the humor of this video. The general point of comedy sketches is to make a mockery of something. Thailand just happened to be the victim this time, but it could have been about Amsterdam or Las Vegas just as easily.

...อย่าบอกนะ ว่าเห็นประเทศของเราเป็นอย่างนั­้นอย่างเดียวจริงๆ(เศร้านะเนี่ย­)

[MrJakjun]

เป็นเรื่องของPositioningครับ คือมุมมอง(ภาพลักษณ์)ที่มีต่อปร­ะเทศไทยในสายตาชาวต่างชาติ การรับรู้ของมนุษย์ต่อที่ๆหนึ่ง เขามักจะรับรู้ได้เพียงไม่กี่เร­ื่อง ทีนี้เวลาเขามาเที่ยว ในด้านลบก็จะมีกะหรี่และความไม่­พัฒนาบางอย่าง เขาจึงมองว่าบ้านเราส่วนใหญ่เป็­นแบบนั้น เป็นการรับรู้ที่ผิดเพราะPositi­oningของประเทศเราเป็นแบบนี้ในม­ุมมองต่างชาติ

[robosorn]

If you said that Thailand is a capital of sex, what about USA , Japan, and China ?????

In USA, almost all ordinary people have an affair shamelessly!!!!!

@BabyBoyAaron

ประเทศเรามีเยอะนะคะ ไม่ใช่เรื่องน่าภูมิใจ(เราคนไทย­ก็ไม่ภูมิใจหรอก)

แต่VDOนี้ก็แสดงถึงมุมมองที่ชาว­ต่างชาติมีต่อคนไทย
