🇹🇭 Alone in Thailand (Starting a New Life – First Days)

The speaker begins by describing a crowded train ride and then shares plans for the day in Thailand. The immediate goal is to go to the downtown public marketplace to fix a "prison haircut" and to eat maggots and cockroaches. The speaker mentions a lack of Wi-Fi, with the router expected to arrive on Friday. Instead of taking a tricycle, the speaker decides to walk the one kilometer to the train station. While walking, the speaker observes the nice weather and notes that Thailand isn't as warm as the Philippines, where the heat is intense. The speaker sees the "sky train" bridge and comments on the convenience of living in a building near the city, with sidewalks available for walking. The speaker expresses surprise at not sweating despite walking a kilometer and looks forward to exploring more once a motorbike is acquired. Upon reaching the city, the speaker encounters a street vendor selling mangoes and buys one, finding it very good and healthy. The speaker notes the friendliness of the people. A gym is seen, but the speaker dismisses the idea of a membership since most apartments have their own gyms. The speaker then smells something appealing and discovers a vendor selling what appears to be a type of snack or product in a package, taking two "buffs" from it. The speaker then has a phone conversation, explaining having only taken two "buffs" and returned the item. The speaker mentions going to "Jellybe" and then going for a walk and to eat. After the call, the speaker embarks on a long walk and gets some water. The speaker then walks through a park, noting it as a nice place for families to exercise and push babies, although it's currently too hot. The speaker reflects on how fit they would become if they continued walking without a motorbike, emphasizing walking as the best exercise for losing fat. The speaker expresses a desire to explore province areas, believing people there are more relaxed and chatty compared to city dwellers who are always working. However, the speaker acknowledges that people in the provinces might not speak English, unlike some in the city who at least try. The speaker also contrasts Thailand with the Philippines, praising the Philippines for its friendly local people, English speakers, beaches, nature, and mountains. The speaker finally reaches the metro, having walked 1.5 kilometers, and comments on the absence of foreigners compared to a previous city. The speaker gets a ticket, describing their first month as a "slave shape." The speaker expresses a desire for their own motorbike. Inside a store, the speaker finds toys and is surprised to see a Game Boy-like device for sale that can play games like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and connect to a TV. The speaker buys one, noting it contains thousands of games including old Super Mario, Contra, Tank, and PlayStation games. Feeling hungry, the speaker encounters Indian people, noting their presence in business, and visits an Indian store to buy a Coca-Cola. The speaker observes that Indians are also making money in Thailand, selling goods beyond clothes. The speaker then looks at motorbikes, identifying a Yamaha Ninja, and correctly identifies it as a 400cc bike based on its two cylinders, contrasting it with a 600cc bike that would have four cylinders. A woman helps the speaker find food. The speaker buys Coca-Cola chicken and eats it with sticks, a skill learned in prison. The meal, including food for the woman at the table, costs 390 Baht, which the speaker considers not too much, though it wasn't the street food expected. The speaker then heads to a big river, wanting to see boats. After asking about crossing the river by boat, the speaker learns a boat will depart in 10 minutes and payment is made on board. However, the speaker immediately feels sick on the boat and decides not to proceed, anticipating the video title "Alone in Thailand" due to making "wrong moves." Despite this, the speaker notes the abundance of beautiful girls, which promises an interesting future, and expresses surprise at not seeing as many "lady boys" as expected, having only seen two so far. Having completed the journey, the speaker realizes they might have to pay extra for going a bit further on the metro. The speaker pays 17 Baht extra, noting it's not even one US dollar and questioning the system. The speaker again remarks on the many beautiful girls in Thailand. After exiting the metro, the speaker prepares to take the "sky metra." The train is crowded, and the speaker almost misses it. The speaker reflects on learning the metro system and needing to focus on other things. The speaker then tries shrimp, which costs 3 USD, but finds the sauce disgusting. Finally, the speaker buys a cold mango drink, finding it good, not too sweet, and similar to Greek yogurt with a strong mango taste. The speaker concludes the video, thanking viewers and encouraging them to like and subscribe.
