Thanks for the comments.
I will admit I have been back and forth on the approach to take. I have convinced myself at this point that boring videos are actually watchable. That sounds ridiculous, but I am serious. There are so many people out there that a certain specific sect wont find an American living in bkk boring, no matter how boring the videos are. Haha. Well, right or wrong I am running with it for now.
It is true though, I just gotta be myself. The hardest part is loosening up and actually really being able to be yourself.

Mate, those aint cracks, they are the result of, the sun, cheap paint and poor rendering, buy a cheap condo what else do you expect.
Heres another couple of tips about driving in Bkk, dont be the first away on a green light, or the last on a red light. Those light jumpers will get you every time.
PS Bkk is one of the safest cities I have ever driven in, reason, the traffic is so bad I never get out of second gear, ergo never build up any speed

I started up a vlog mainly based here in Bangkok. I would appreciate any tips. I don't want to appear overly bitchy or negative, but have you ever considered learning Thai? It's clear from the minute or so that I watched that you know nothing about the language, and as such can not possibly have any meaningful insight into the country and its ways. Disclaimer: I am totally unfamiliar with the concept of "vlogging", and it's perfectly possible that it's a medium for people who know nothing about a subject to pontificate and attract a massive audience. I hope not, though.

Over on other vloggs, there is a guy who cant even pronounce Pattaya properly, he is revered as some sort of guru.

There's a chap called the reluctant nomad or something like that. What an angry sad sod, but entertaining over a cold beer.

And don't forget to open up a go-fund-me page for some chicken orphanage in Sakon Sumwhere. Go-fund-me and vlogging seem to go hand in hand.

Thanks for the comments. Yeah, I am learning Thai. Imagine if you were to run out and try and learn opera singing (or at least I am imagining I am)... it would be a slow and painful process, and perhaps no matter how much you practiced, you aint getting very far. That is my Thai. I actually enjoy not being able to communicate on most occasions. Many/my youtube videos are just about showing daily life, no need to be fluent in Thai to make them, unless that is the way you would like to go of course. I find the go fund me stuff tacky too. I will have to start one up soon I was watching this guy last night, and man my new idea is to make videos responding to this guy's comments. Some of them very funny. I never knew in the history of Thailand someone to ship a freezer from the UK. Like I did not even know this was a thing that was feasibly considered.

So you would almost have to watch every one, which i figure not a single person will do of course . But hey, I am tryin. I am getting some new ideas just as I walked home. You guys are inspiring I am not kiddin. Thanks for the comments.

Rgs funny you should come up with "in the land of the blind etc" it occurred to me a while ago (and I have been reminded recently) that in the land of the blind the blind man with the biggest mouth is king. The one eyed man is best off keeping his mouth shut and getting on with it.
Sorry for going off topic. Ok, that was it, carry on.
