00:09Hello, how are you doing? Hey, I'm doing great, thanks. Where are you from? I'm from Germany,
00:14from Munich. Yeah, Munich. How long is your stay in Thailand? I stay in Thailand for seven months.
00:24Seven months? Seven months, yeah. You are living here? Yeah, yeah, I studied in Bangkok University. Wow, you're very smart.
00:32You're like an exchange student. Yeah, I did my exchange semester in Bangkok and now I have time to travel.
00:38What do you study? I study tourism management. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you love traveling. Oh, I love traveling. Why did
00:45you decide to come to Thailand? I think I wanted to escape one winter in Germany because I hate winter
00:50and I love summer. And also I love
00:54Southeast Asia. It's just amazing. Very warm. Very warm, very beautiful. Yeah. Have you been to other countries in Southeast
01:02Asia? Yes, I've also been to Indonesia and I also traveled to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos. Yeah. Many countries.
01:14What's your favorite place in Thailand so far? I think it's Koh Tao. Oh, Koh Tao. Yeah, I love Koh
01:20Tao. Just the island vibe. Just came from Koh Tao, did my diving license there. It was amazing.
01:26Do you have a diving license? Yeah, I just did the open water course, but yeah, I loved it. Water
01:33is very clear. Oh, yeah, the water is very clear. Many beautiful animals in the water. Yeah, it's good for
01:40diving and snorkeling. It's really nice. Yeah, turtles.
01:42We were unlucky with the whale sharks, but maybe next time. What's your best memory in Thailand? Oh, that's a
01:49hard question. I'm already here for five months. So many memories. So many memories.
01:55But I think in general, like meeting so many new people here, making so many new friends all around Thailand.
02:03That's just amazing.
02:05What advice would you give to other tourists in Thailand?
02:09Oh, good question. I would say don't travel in the high season. Don't travel now in December. It's way too
02:17full.
02:17But also in August, where it should be super rainy every day. The weather was beautiful and it was more
02:26calm, not that many tourists. I would rather travel already in August and avoid the high season. Also, everything was
02:34cheaper and was easier to get. Hostels, hotels, everything.
02:40So I would recommend to go earlier. Yeah, it's a great advice. Thank you for your time. Yeah, thank you.
02:47Thank you. Thank you.
02:49Hello, how are you doing? Good. Where are you from? London. Yeah, we are city girls. City girls.
02:57How long is your stay in Thailand? Two and a half weeks. Nearly three weeks. Yeah.
03:02It's a vacation, right? Yes, holiday. What do you do for a living? I work in insurance. Insurance? Yes.
03:09And I'm a probation officer. I work with people who have committed a crime. Oh, okay.
03:16And then we try and like rehabilitate them to make sure it doesn't happen again. Protect the public. Yeah.
03:21You help people. Yeah. Yeah. There we go. Yeah. So you are good at communication.
03:27Yeah. Oh, yeah.
03:29And you look rich. Rich. I'm rich. No.
03:32No. My job is quite salesy, so I have to speak to people a lot. So, yeah.
03:37Why did you decide to come to Thailand?
03:39Well, we were actually meant to go to Australia, but then we changed last minute because I think we just
03:44wanted more beach vibes.
03:47Yeah. And yeah. We love beach. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
03:50And I think we wanted to travel around a little bit more. So, yeah.
03:54Is it your first time to come to Thailand?
03:56Me? Yes. Phoebe, no.
03:57I've been once before, but not to this area, just to Bangkok and Koh Samumi.
04:02I love it, actually.
04:03It is. It's nice. But it was raining when I went there.
04:06So, that's why we chose this side. Yeah.
04:09What are your plans in Thailand?
04:11So, we landed in Bangkok, partied, had fun. It was fun.
04:15And then we went to Koh Sok National Park. Have you been?
04:19Not yet, but I've had that.
04:20Yeah, you should go.
04:21We stayed on the lake.
04:22Yeah, it was beautiful.
04:24Now we're in Krabi. We're going to go to Koh Lanta, Phi Phi Islands.
04:28Oh, okay.
04:28And then we're going to finish in Phuket.
04:30Oh, okay.
04:31Yeah.
04:32Lots of parties.
04:33Probably.
04:34Yeah, tonight, New Year's Eve.
04:36Woo!
04:36Have you faced any culture shock in Thailand?
04:40Culture shock.
04:41I mean, it's definitely different to London, but I think...
04:45Bangkok was kind of crazy.
04:47A lot of crazy shows to watch in the evening.
04:52We might have gone to one.
04:55And probably the food.
04:58Yeah.
04:58Like, some crazy stuff, like the scorpions.
05:01Yeah.
05:02But it's a culture shock because everyone's really nice compared to London.
05:05Everyone's really serious.
05:06Yeah, everyone is so kind, friendly, helpful, and everyone speaks really good English, which
05:11is obviously amazing.
05:12And we love a Grab.
05:14We love the motorbike.
05:15Yeah, the bikes.
05:16Yeah.
05:16We wish they had motorbike Grabs in London.
05:20Yeah, we were saying, like, we wish we could start a business in London with Grabs so that
05:24everyone could just get on the back of the motorbike to travel around everywhere because
05:27there's so much traffic.
05:28We need a business meeting with the guy that owns Grab, if you're out there.
05:33Yeah, Grab is very convenient and very cheap.
05:36Do they have Grab in Japan?
05:37No, not Grab.
05:39Uber.
05:39Uber.
05:40But on a bike?
05:41No.
05:41No.
05:42Do they drive, like, the motorbikes a lot in Japan or mostly cars?
05:45Almost cars.
05:46Mostly cars, yeah.
05:48Mostly cars, yeah.
05:48Well, maybe we can start the business in Japan as well.
05:51Yeah, that's the thing.
05:52We can go worldwide.
05:54I rode a black cab in London before.
05:57Oh, a black cab.
05:58Oh, yeah, yeah.
05:58Yeah, expensive.
05:59Yeah.
06:00It was expensive.
06:02Today, it's December 31st.
06:05So, what is your best memory this year?
06:07Oh, that's a good question.
06:10Well, I started my new job and I didn't know what I wanted to do for ages.
06:14Yeah.
06:14And then I finally figured it out and I knew that it was what I was meant to do.
06:20So, yeah, probably starting my long-term career.
06:23I just feel like I had a good year.
06:25Like, it was just really fun.
06:27Spent lots of time with friends.
06:29Yeah, I just, everything about the year was really good.
06:32Oh.
06:32Good year.
06:33Yeah, yeah.
06:34Yeah, yeah.
06:34Actually, you look very happy, so.
06:36Yeah, we're on the beach.
06:38We're not at work.
06:40What about you?
06:41What's your best memory of the year?
06:42Yeah, this year, my YouTube channel grew up a lot.
06:48What did you start on and what are you ending with?
06:51Good question.
06:52Yeah, we're turning it on you.
06:55Yeah, from 70,000 to, it doubled.
06:59So, 140,000.
07:01Wow.
07:02That's so good.
07:04Go you.
07:05Thank you so much.
07:06It's a great interview today.
07:08So, yeah, so thank you for your time.
07:09Yeah, hopefully we see you on the beach for New Year's Eve.
07:13Will you be here later?
07:14Yeah, I'll be here.
07:15Okay, we'll get some beers.
07:16Yeah.
07:17Bye.
07:18Bye.
07:19Hello, how are you doing?
07:20Hi, I'm good.
07:22Where are you from?
07:23I'm from Berlin, Germany.
07:25How long is your stay in Thailand?
07:28I'm going to stay for, I don't know how long, maybe a month, maybe three months.
07:33Yeah.
07:34It's like a vacation.
07:36Yeah, I just quit my job and moved back home to Berlin and now packed all my stuff and
07:42I'm on the other side of the world, I guess.
07:45Yeah, it's very different from Germany.
07:47It's very different.
07:48It's very warm here.
07:50It's very warm, exactly.
07:51The culture is super nice.
07:53People here are very friendly.
07:54I love it.
07:55Why did you decide to come to Thailand?
07:56My best friend is also supposed to be with me here.
07:59She's half Thai, but she's currently sick in Bangkok.
08:03So I have to solo travel this week.
08:06So I hope she feels better soon and can join me.
08:09But there are so many nice people everywhere to meet, so you never feel alone.
08:14And if so, then you can always read a good book or just enjoy a sunny day at the beach.
08:20What's your best memory in Thailand so far?
08:23I think it has been the journey from Berlin to Bangkok with my best friends together.
08:29It was supposed to be like 24 hours, but in the end I think it lasted 48.
08:35And some flights got cancelled.
08:38We didn't even depart.
08:39Our luggage didn't arrive for 24 hours.
08:42So I think we learned a lot.
08:45And luckily I had an air tag.
08:47So I didn't know that my bag was still in Germany when I arrived in Thailand.
08:51You're a very positive person.
08:53Yeah, thank you.
08:54It must be.
08:56You can learn from anything.
08:58Yes.
08:58Yeah, it's great.
08:59You quit the job, so what did you do before?
09:02If you don't mind me asking.
09:03Yeah, of course.
09:04I worked at Google in tech.
09:06It was my first bigger corporate job.
09:09But I realized that I only did it for the pristiqueness and because other people like me to do it.
09:21But I didn't really enjoy it myself.
09:24And I also lost myself in the whole process.
09:29And yeah, so then at some point I was like, new year, new me, quit my job and just took
09:37a backpack here.
09:38Yeah, great.
09:39You have freedom now.
09:40Yes, a lot of freedom.
09:42Too much freedom for me.
09:43You worked in Google.
09:45Yes.
09:46You're very smart.
09:47No, no.
09:49Engineer or like a sales or management or?
09:51Yeah, it was like a sales consulting role.
09:54So we just helped businesses grow with Google Solution.
09:59It was very nice.
10:00It's a very nice company.
10:01I don't have anything bad to say about it.
10:03But I think it just wasn't my cup of tea.
10:07There are so many smart people in Google.
10:10Yeah, they are.
10:11They are, definitely.
10:13What are your future goals?
10:14I don't know yet.
10:15Maybe I'm going to do a pivotal career change and go more into the creative direction.
10:21But for now, I just want to spend the money that I earned, enjoy life and travel with this.
10:28Thank you for your time.
10:29Yeah, thank you so much.

10:56Why did you decide to come to Thailand?
10:58Decided to come to Thailand because the culture, the food, the landscapes are really good.
11:04Landscapes are really pretty and in Lisbon, it's winter, so we need the sand to recharge our energies.

12:39Okay.
12:39Why did you decide to come to Thailand?
12:41I just heard a lot of good things about Thailand from my friends.
12:44And so I decided to try and nature scrubby because I thought it was the most like chill and quiet
12:51place.
12:52What's your impression of Thailand so far?
12:55Before I was a little bit like scared because I don't know, it's like new country for me, new culture
13:02and everything.
13:03But now I feel like really safe and people here is so nice, like kind.
13:07Everyone like come to you, ask how are you and like recommend some places and I'm like, okay, I like
13:13it.
13:13What do you do for a living?
13:14I'm actually work like a model.
13:17So yeah.
13:17Yeah, you are very stylish.
13:21Do you work in Russia or?

13:31What are your goals of this year?
13:33I think my goals, it start to take education because I just finished my school like three years ago.
13:40Also, I want to change something and I want to find the country where I want to stay.
13:45That's why I'm on travel, actually.
13:47I want to choose what I want to be.
13:49You said that you lived in Japan.
13:51What do you think about Japan?
13:53Well, Japan is really like clouds and like a lot of people.
13:58But I like there because it's kind of chill and safe.
14:02Actually, it's really safe.
14:03And I like the rule, like for example, you can smoke everywhere.
14:06And I really like it because it's like no smell of the cigarettes or something.
14:12Because it's a lot of people, it can be annoying.
14:15But for example, in Setagaya area, it was so chill and like relax.
14:20Setagaya is like a kind of luxury place.
14:23Yes.
14:23Good place.
14:23Yes.
14:24But metro is really hard.
14:26I get lost maybe a few times.
14:28How did you learn English?
14:29Before I was in the school, but then I like take a coach and I started to train.
14:34But I think I started to speak on English when I started to travel.
14:38I think the most of the way to start to speak on English is start to speak on it.
14:43Like don't be shy and everything.
14:44Because before I know a lot of like theory stuff.
14:47But when I came to first country, I was like, I'm Timboudon, you know, I don't understand nothing.
14:54But now I think it's good.

18:23Just every street has it.
18:25And it's cheaper in here.
18:26I like that the most.
18:27And at the beginning, I noticed that a lot.
18:30You have to like take your shoes off everywhere.
18:33That was like, we don't do that at home as well.
18:35That's pretty nice.
18:36I love that.
18:37What's your best memory in Thailand so far?
18:39I saw a lot of the elephants.
18:41That was really nice.
18:41I loved it.
18:42But I think mostly the hostels, like meeting new people, meeting other backpackers.
18:47And just going places together, chilling on the beach.
18:50I love that the most.
18:51I think meeting people in here, that's the best.
18:53I like that a lot.
18:55What do you do for me?
18:56Well, I used to be a bartender back home.
18:58But I quit my job just so I could get out of here.
19:00So I don't have anything home.
19:01I'm a student mostly.
19:03But I graduated.
19:04So that was it.
19:05I just did bartending and studying.
19:07And when I get back, I want to do that again.
19:09But that's for later.
19:11Thank you for that.
19:11Of course, of course.
19:13Don't give up.
19:16Hi, how are you doing?
19:17Hi, thank you very much.
19:18Fine.
19:18Where are you from?
19:19I'm from Berlin in Germany.
19:21How long is your stay in Thailand?
19:23That's my second day.
19:24But I booked a one-way ticket, so I don't really know.
19:27Let's see.
19:28Wow.
19:29Amazing.
19:29What do you do for a living?
19:31I'm studying fashion design in Berlin.
19:34Oh, okay.
19:34So you are stylish.
19:35Yeah, thanks.
19:36I really like it, yes.
19:38Why did you decide to come to Thailand?
19:39I think I've never been out of, like, Europe, and I wanted to travel and see the world.
19:47So I heard that Thailand is really well for solo travelers.
19:50So I tried it and I really, really like it.
19:52I met many German people.
19:53Yeah.
19:54Yeah, I think Thailand is popular with German people.
19:58Yes, yes.
19:58So what's your impression of Thailand?
20:00It's really beautiful.
20:01I love the nature.
20:03It's completely different than in Berlin.
20:05And also the people are really nice.
20:07And I love the food, of course.
20:08It's delicious.
20:09Yeah.
20:10It's a new year.
20:11So what are your new year's resolutions?
20:13I think I want to be more free and more independent.
20:19And I think Thailand is a really good way to start.
20:21Thank you for your time.
20:22Thank you so much.
20:24Dankeschön.
20:25Gerne.
20:25Okay.
20:47You
