Im less than a minute in and already there are some rather interesting tidbits - not so much &quot;Oh I didn&#x27;t know that about Thailand&quot; more, interesting about the actual video itself.<p>(a) The video is blocked in Thailand (works via a SOCKS proxy though). Not <i>super</i> surprising why though.<p>(b) I don&#x27;t want to call out just the narrator on this, because my own English speaking friends do it too, but the way foreigners pronounce Pattaya is <i>really</i> grating, even to someone who barely speaks the language (me). If anyone is interested, it&#x27;s not &quot;pa-tai-ya&quot;, as he says at the beginning of the video, it&#x27;s &quot;putt-a-ya&quot;.<p>(c) As mentioned, I got less than a minute in, and the reason I stopped is because the translation of Wolfgang the German sex tourist (sounds like a character name from Eurotrip, I know) already sets the tone for the sort of views it&#x27;s portraying:<p>&gt; These girls aren&#x27;t really prostitutes, they call themselves bar girls.<p>Right, sure, and Tony Soprano wasn&#x27;t really a mobster, he called himself a waste management consultant.<p>---<p>Ok, curiosity got the better of me. I managed another three minutes or so... I wondered if I was premature in my earlier presumptions about old Wolfgang.. He&#x27;s currently telling the interviewer that no no, this isn&#x27;t just a business transaction - there&#x27;s a &quot;relationship&quot; there, in spite of the fact that he pays for her time, she doesn&#x27;t speak either English or German, and when asked directly about this topic - with the option to respond in Thai, she chooses to say <i>nothing</i>...
