The YouTuber, who speaks Thai, said in the video he wanted to demonstrate how English taught in Thailand doesn't focus on being conversant, but on written grammar. 。
The video, which has reached nearly 1 million views in three days, has drawn angry comments from Thais on the page, who feel humiliated to be the butt of the joke. 。

Bartling explained in a follow-up comment on his video that it was not meant to humiliate individuals, but rather shed light on the education system. 。
He denied that the video was staged, but admitted that he cut out several people who understood and answered his questions in English. 。
One commenter offered some advice: "I get you mate, you're trying to help, but us Thais don't like to be told things bluntly. I myself am half British so I've had the luxury of being bilingual since childhood, so I know you're trying to do good, but try a different approach next time mate." 。
