Are Foreigners Just ATMs in Thailand? 💸 | One Night in Bangkok Ep. 062

Are foreigners seen as walking ATMs in Thailand? In this episode, we dive into a recent story from Bangkok that left me with a surprising bill—and raised questions about how Westerners are perceived in Thai social circles. We explore cultural expectations around money and group outings, and some potential situations foreigners often don’t see coming. We also discuss the new privacy laws in the Philippines affecting YouTubers, and the possibility of similar laws coming to Thailand. Lastly, we cover the big changes in Thailand cannabis laws, how it might affect tourism and businesses, and the potential risk of starting a new venture in Thailand. 🟢 ⬇ Check out the Thai Language Challenge here ⬇ https://www.thailanguagechallenge.com...
