“Don’t Go to Thailand,” Foreigner says here’s why

A foreign TikTok user has gone viral after posting a tongue-in-cheek video warning people not to visit Thailand — only to explain that the country made him fall in love with it. In the clip, Alex Glabdorf (@alex.glandorf) speaks directly to the camera while driving, repeatedly saying: “Do not go to Thailand. Do not do it.” He jokes that travellers who book a one- or two-week trip will eventually have to return home — and once back, they will “hate” their jobs and normal lives because they cannot stop thinking about Thailand. He humorously claims visitors will want to sell everything and move back permanently, saying he himself spent a year in the country before returning home after running out of money. “Thailand took all my money,” he says, before ending the video by asking who is heading to Songkran in April. @alex.glandorf Thailand messed me up fr That’s all I’m gonna say. Songkran in April? Who’s all going? #thailand #songkran #thailandtravel #traveltok ♬ original sound – Alex Glandorf The video quickly gained traction online, drawing warm reactions from Thai users who said they felt both amused and proud. Many foreign viewers also joined the discussion, sharing their own experiences and travel plans. Some said they were flying to Thailand within days, while others wrote that they had already visited multiple times and were eagerly waiting for their next trip, describing Thailand as the “best country” with the “best people.”
