I’m Thai, born with curly hair & dark skinned lol. I remember the elders would point at me & tell me I’m different..as an adult, I love my beautiful dark tan skin & beautiful curly hair.

I’m Thai and I agree with you have said . We all Thai people love and respect the others one as a human. Spread the Love and Respect. Peace ✌️❤😊

My wife is from Isaan. she apologized when we met her father in ubon ratchathani because in her words he is “black skin.” I was shocked she would apologize for her fathers skin color. I said he was beautiful and the family laughed in a positive way for using the word beautiful to describe her father. Definitely a culture shock. She asked me a few more times that week if I was okay with her fathers skin color. She also was shocked when we met a black American couple and was extremely impressed that was possible.

Everything you say is 100% true! I was in Thailand as a Black expat for over 10 years! My nephew is still there. One day I will make my way back to Thailand. I am back in the States now. I currently teach a Thai language and culture class at the charter school I am employed at.

Learning to speak the language is a great piece of advice. I've visited Thailand several and will probably retire there. It is really and truly a beautiful country.

Thanks for your compliment of Thai people. The important thing is your expression. It doesn’t matter You’re black or white, people are same. Welcome to Thailand.

Talking about a black man being a basketball player. I (a Thai-American) took my good friend, Alex, to Thailand with me in the late-90's. Alex is a 6'5", dark complexion, and bald-headed black guy; he was originally from Senegal (then France, then U.S.). Everyone in Thailand thought that he was Michael Jordan from the Chicago Bulls and tried to get the autograph from him (there was no cellphone camera back then). The funny thing is that Alex was a much better soccer player than a basketball player (he sucked at basketball, despite his height). 😂

Thanks for making this video !🙏🏽

Very interesting and original perspective! Loved hearing your thoughts and story. Thanks for sharing!

It's cool just hearing your candid thoughts

Love this video bro, very insightful.

I lived in Singapore in ‘13 & was the best time of my life too.I’m an African American male

Thanks man, great video. Planning on moving to Thailand eventually and it’s great to get a different perspective on the experience

Safe journeys and blessings in your Vision. Hope you can travel for as long as you can.

Wow! What a beautiful video. You’re fantastic at putting your experiences into words. I really enjoyed hearing your perspective and it’s helpful as we prepare to move to Thailand.

Great vlog and fascinating perspective, dude. That experience with the police is kinda sad, though. Back in '10 and '11, I had a British friend in Thailand who happened to be black. He had a couple of similar experiences with Bangkok police and told me it was because they have a lot of Nigerians that are involved with running the ice on the streets. Still, the stereotyping sucks, and my buddy decided to move on to the Philippines. He is still there and married with kids...Loving life. Peace and love, man.

Thanks for the great insight my brother. Excellent job!

I truly enjoyed your Video! Make More of Them!

Excellent my brother. Very enlightening

Great information, great back drop

This was an AWESOME AND VERY INFORMATIVE

Thanks for being an Ambassador brother. Much luv bro.

Thanks for the video well done my brother. I'm currently researching Thailand

Great Channel. Great perspective! Just subscribed! 👍🏾

Great video bro...Very informative...All the best. Blessings from 🇯🇲 Jamaica.

Thank you, my brotha. This vlog was outstanding! You dropped some serious knowledge. Stay safe and well.

I feel the same way about Thailand. great story.

I'm a Thai who went to college in Compton, California in the early 1980's. You remind me so much of my very good friend, Fred, who moved to Compton from Alabama. We were odd couples back then.

Bruh - I absolutely loved this video. One of the most informant ones I've seen on here. No fluff no big beats just facts. Im thinking of moving out there in the new year. This helped.

Thanks a lot. Very informative

This video is spot-on. Very accurate!!!

Dope video!! I’m in Thailand and myself

Brother, I subscribed because you sound genuine and you display a very good attitude. Keep up the great work, keep traveling and stay safe ✌🏾

You are very informative thank you brother!

Wow!! Salute young blood. Subscribed 🤝

Cool video!

Thanks... Real talk... Appreciated.

I’m so proud of you leaning Thai love it and keeping learning more any language Godbless you

Your analysis about the culture is accurate. I am Thai.

Good video, Kendrix ! I'm an American long-term expat too. And I really like your attitude and approach. Subscribed!

Cool vid. Thanks! My wife is Nigerian; I think she will love it. As an American, I want to try living in Thailand; have visited enough to know I love the vibe, I enjoy the people. She and I look different anyway; so we are used to it. Eventually will spend most of my time there I think; but start half time. Your examples of breaking ice, striking up conversation, was really fun.

So good. Your description of your experiences in SEA are very informative. Love that current location in Viet Nam, such a beautiful country. Hope to retire to Thailand.

Nice Job. Well Done. Much appreciated my Brotha

Great video I love Thailand I was in Phuket in May one of the best places I've ever visited could not get it out of my system I felt like I belong there my next trip is Bangkok next year can't wait.

Thxs for sharing !

Yeah so I'm 24 & will be day trading full time soon. I've watched very MANY videos about life in Thailand. The pro's & the cons. It's needless to say I'll be switching residences here in the near future. Really loved & appreciated the video brother. 👌

Thanks for sharing 🤗🙏🏽

Thanks for your video.

I was adopted from Thailand by Swedish parents when I was 6 weeks old, my parents wanted a more white looking child and the orphanage said I had a Western nose and called me pinky, dunno. I don't care about what colour or what race you are, as long as you're a kind soul. I've got a dark birth mark, which is quite big on my hip, and Thais think I've had a weird skin bleaching. Bleaching your skin is completely crazy in my eyes 😢

Good brotha I salute you and am digging your channel. brotha's like you represent us well. Live your life continue to share teach and grow Blessings! Subbed!

Thank you for loving my motherland ❤️

Thanks for a great video. Your experience in Thailand is very unique because you live in a remote area by yourself as a black man. You are very insightful and open-minded person. Everything you said about Thailand is mostly true, except the part of dating. Dating Thais involve family which is different from dating Americans. Relationship can be greatly influenced by family members, especially parents. I speak as a Thai woman who has been living in US for 30+ years.

Good to hear your vision on being different and how to use that in your advantage! Subscribed ;-)

Excellent and correct explanation of why Thais and other Asians feel the way they do about their color. Thank you for posting your content.

New sub!!! Excellent video

Cool thanks for sharing which I was going again. I'm old now good job sir

Excellent first rate video Brother 👍

Great video bro....I'm thinking about moving out of the USA in a few years.

Thank you, so much

Thai people are great and it's such a beautiful country!

Great story Brother 👍. I was born in the UK but of African ancestry and I have been travelling to Asia since 2008 been to Thailand once I can relate to all you said about being dark skinned, the bias and prejudice depending on who you encounter amongst some Thai people. Some were friendly with me and my friend also from the UK and some were not. I am 100% African and proudly African regardless of being born in the UK and I defiantly won't let any race or person look down on me or negatively treat me badly because I am black and African. There is nothing wrong being an African, its purely ignorance and poor education in Asia that makes many Asians think lame about Africans or other dark skinned people from America or the Carribbean. I have visited several countries like Japan, Philippines. Singapore , Thailand and HongKong. Malaysia, South Korea.Vietnam , Laos and Cambodia not yet but I have heard Africans do get stereotyped and discriminated against in various situations in some of these countries and it really does piss me off. Some Africans from the motherland continent go to these countries and commit crimes now adding fuel to the fire 🔥 and make the travel experience bad for other decent African travelling around Asia but why judge an entire group of Africans as bad because of the action of a tiny percentage of Africans. However I will never let the bad actions of a small percentage of Africans from motherland Africa ruin my travel adventures in Asia especially The Philippines and Singapore my favourite countries of all times in Asia because my experiences in both countries since 2008 has been nothing but fantastic and amazing.

Youngblood, truly inspired by your message. Spent 11 years living abroad (Italy, Germany, Korea, Djibouti). Keep living your best life King! Oh yea, you gotta tell us what state you from. I am from GA. Your voice sound like you from the da south!

Excellent Vlog my Brother. Thank you for keeping It real, I was surprised to hear you're friends with the Hmong people from Norther Laos they have a special history going back to the conflict in that area. Since they have befriended you that Is something special, much respect.

Well said, Brotha!!! I am Laotian and I live in U.S.A.

Good job!

I like the way you explain that we don't have to get on the defenses when people look at you a certain way because a lot of the time it is what they are exposed to that forms there opinion of you.

I hope you are still in Thailand. Great story I spent 5 years from 2007 to 2012. Being from New Orleans I dont look like you but I was always looked at as a dark Thai from the South especially when I wore my sunglasses. Learning the language opens doors. Loved the vlog brother spot on. Thailand is not for everyone. Understanding keeping cool head in Thailand is imperative. Kendro keep it going bro....

So dope ❤

Just respect Thai culture is enough.

Thank you. I thought it would be something like that in Thailand and places like that. Thanks for the info and here is to a great life in Thailand and places like that. Very inspirational video to watch as a black man.

I’m not black, but the video was great and informative and I’m encouraged to hear that you had a great experience and think you have a great outlook on things. I forwarded it to a few friends.

Thank you so much

I did the same I now speak Chinese Mandarin, I taught at the University

For real, I thought this video was going to be boring, lol, but on contrary. This was really great, man. Thank you for sharing!

This guy is living his BEST LIFE!!!

Your video is refreshing. You talk like me and can relate. I’m in Montreal and black American experience is different!!!! lol

Well done!

BLACK expat for 6 years in Thailand was amazing , the only place that i felt was in Bangkok one time ...

17:52 That 'Original King' would've had me in TEARS!! But 'We Shall Over Come' probably wouldve made me laugh later on lol

Welcome to Thailand.

From Thailand i visited Laos and Cambodia on a bus. Traveling is easy from Thailand.

Hello my brotha am planning to retire it here I hope to meet you in the the future. Stay safe my brotha , peace.

Let me tell you a short story. I was stationed in Thailand back I the mid 70s . During hat time, Thailand was for R &R, mostly. Picking up the ladies was the recreation. On one particular evening, I picked up a young lady an we went back to her bungalow . The evening went on and I wondered why we hadn’t gotten down o he main event. At that time, curfews were the rule . You had to be off the street by midnight. Midnight came and I asked what was the trouble. She confessed that, she had dated Caucasian men and was told not to date Blacks cause at midnight, they grew tails. I fell out on the floor with laughter. I was close to my bungalow and was able to make it home without being caught. I remembered that story and every time I saw her we laughed.

Only discrimination I've seen in Thailand against black men was employment in the teaching field. Besides that thais are very open minded and good hearted people.

I’m Thai person and I like you 🫶🏼😘

Thank you sir, I appreciate your insight. I'm considering moving to Thailand and headed there in September 2022. This was helpful

Best area to live in in the woods and next to town

Very well explained 👍

“Like way in the country, like way where your grandmama live…” 😂😂😭 Great video bruh. ‘Preciate ya.

I'm on my way their less than a month!

Couldn't agree more--they are all the same in essence. Of course, there are cultural differences, but women are women regardless of what part of the world you find them.

Say Mississippi keep doing your thing💯💪

ยินดีตอนรับ

I have been to Thai and as a dark skin black woman, Thai women really don’t care to much for black American woman but yes they love black men, it’s like a “trophy” for them. They love their sex. So no black men don’t have a problem going overseas period and dating.

As a Haitian American,I visited Thailand in February,really enjoyed myself.when I travel I see myself as a man,you do meet people who have negative views do to false information from media.but because being able to travel you realize human nature is the same worldwide.
