18MMW Presents: Thailand
	What if you plan a business trip and all you want to really do is...do business? It might be difficult when the country you're traveling to is Thailand. A new video sketch by the 18 Mighty Mountain Warriors. Writer: Michael Chih Ming Hornbuckle Featuring: Michael Chih Ming Hornbuckle Greg Watanabe Camera/Editor: Eric Ignacio Locations Manager: traci akemi kato-kiriyama concept editor: Peter Wong www.18mmw.com *****FROM GREG WATANABE******* In an effort to respond to some of the negative comments about this sketch, I offer an explanation (note, I didn't write this sketch): This piece is primarily about how some people's view of Thailand is distorted by it's reputation as a destination for sex tours. There are many reasons how this came to be, none of them are Thailand's per se. The US military is probably the most to blame. Clearly, as the sketch itself points out, there are many other aspects of Thailand to be proud of. As an Asian American, the fetishization of the Asian female is a familiar topic. The view of Asian or Asian American females as sex objects is both an issue of sexism and racism. On a national scale, the stereotypical view of Thailand as a destination for exotic prostitution is an issue of de facto military occupation and economic colonization. For me, this piece is about the stereotypes of Thailand and unfair and hypocritical treatment it receives from other countries.

Maya Bay, Thailand - The Most Beautiful Beach!
	HOW TO GET TO MAYA BAY: Fly to Bangkok (BBK) through KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (which is awesome) then take a jet down to Phuket. Jump on a cab and have them take you to the docks where you'll catch a ferry to Phi Phi Island. Reserve a room on Phi Phi before you leave home (I recommend Phi Phi Island Village Resort and Spa) then take a long-tail boat to Maya Bay at around 11AM the next morning. Most people go through the front entrance to get to the beach but if you feel like being more adventurous then take the back way like we did! You'll have have to jump off your boat, swim to the ladder then hike through a small forest to get to the beach. It's much more fun that way, trust me! If you plan on bringing your camera like I did, then BRING A WATERPROOF BAG!!! I took a huge risk to make this video but if it weren't for that bag, then this video wouldn't have happened. Camera used: Canon 5D Mark II
