I accidentally clicked on page one of this thread, and I thought I was reading new comments about this guy in Pattaya, the comments were so relevant.
"Be respectful."
"Don't jam the camera in everyone's face and make it all about your own ego".
Scott Mallon has had some good commentary on this is his last couple of videos.
It is difficult to get into trouble taking photos or video in Thailand compared to other countries. These are the kind of guys who give vloggers a bad name and make taking videos or photos to record experiences more difficult for everyone. It is too bad.

I just went to YouTube and searched "Thailand bloggers" Bloody hell, I won't do that again. I think I have done that before. People who look good in a bikini and have spent about a total of one weekend in Thailand show up. It is difficult to compete with g-string. I feel like we are in a new era. We need to send a man, not to the moon, but into a dark cave in the Gobi Desert. He can state while deep in the cave "one small step back for man, one giant leap back for mankind". It is the phones I am tellin you. That is when it all went south. You all know what is going to happen, right? Phones are going to morph into something like watches we can wear. Measure every damn thing you can imagine, how many times you go to the bathroom, heart rate, exercise patterns, what you need to do to stay healthy, when you need a doctor, when to do your homework etc. It will be so "great" that the watch will then need to be integrated into the human body somehow. And this is when it is REALLY gonna go south.

These effin twats have been around for at least 30 years, its just we didnt know what to call them. 30 years ago, twats with vhs cassette tape cameras the size of suitcases, 20 years ago, the cam/palm corder brigade, 10 years ago the mobile phone brigade. Andy Warhol was right all along.

I dont know how you intend to come back, or where you are coming from, suggest you take the back road to bangkok, much safer.

I don't think you are gonna like it hehe Just watched it, don’t want to be anal, your mrs wasn’t charged 90 baht, she was charged 40. You paid 490 baht to enter, 400 for you, 40 for the mrs and 50 baht for the car. You should check that place out at new year, sometimes they have to close it early, too many people in there. Got to laugh at the no alcohol signs at the entrance, yet nearby they are selling booze by the truckload. Next time pay a visit to cowboy town, .

Would it have been more for the car if she was not with me? We got lucky, no plan at all and the place felt almost deserted at times. I would not have enjoyed it if it was too crowded.

No double pricing on cars you will be glad to know. Entry fees, , had that conversation more than once, will come back later. Double pricing is something that was only introduced in say the last 3,4 or 5 years, prior to that everyone was the same price. I have entered the park when it was so busy, they didnt collect fees at the gate, but later on in the evening workers would visit the campsites to collect money. ฝรั่ง, farang, a word that seems to drive many up the wall, usually farangs that cant speak Thai, married to some long haired dictionary who lacks the vocabulary to explain. Like you tbv, I tried it on, was told, คนชาวต่างชาติ, foreigner, สี่ร้อยครับ 400 baht, I have never once heard the guys on the gate use the word farang. Onto to double pricing, its not that in itself that bothers me, its paying money to look at some waterfall, that after visiting, leaves me completley underwhelmed,thinks to myself, I drove all the way to see that. One thing I did like, the pile of motorcycles parked on the left hand side of the enterance, denied entry, sorry somcahi your souped up fino with the drilled out exhaust is too noisy, park it over there. I assume you entered from the pak chong enterance(?) didnt see no video of your mrs paying respect to the shrine on your right hand side just after entering, maybe she didnt know, you dodged a bullet with that one, .
