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."。
