ULTIMATE THAILAND TRAVEL GUIDE (Watch before coming here)

    let’s talk about Thailand Travel this video is not going to be in chronological 
    order but we’ve just spent a month in Thailand and   we feel like we have some pretty good insights to 
    share so if you’re here for information about how to travel Thailand you have come to the right 
    place this video will serve as your ultimate   Thailand travel guide we’re going to break down 
    cities and locations to travel as well as how to get there how much it costs as well as go through 
    10 tips you need to know before traveling Thailand but before we get into any of that let’s go 
    through some basic rapid fire [Music] info the best time to visit call season is between 
    November and February and obviously is the most   popular time to get here temperatures range from 
    around 29 to 34° so it’s perfect for exploring the entire country the hot season is from March 
    to May and the rainy season is from June to October which is obviously the least popular 
    time to visit how long you should travel for this obviously is a very subjective thing but we 
    think a 2 we minimum is required for Thailand if you’ve got any less than that you really need to 
    stick to a region either South in the islands or north in the jungles some major festivals to be 
    aware of is song CR which is basically Thailand’s New Year’s Eve meet a huge Citywide water fight 
    you’ve actually never done it but it’s really high on the list that is around the 13th of April 
    every year the other iconic Festival is around about the 15th of November and it is the Tie 
    Lantern Festival it just looks gorgeous and is celebrated everywhere picture the movie Rapunzel 
    when she finally goes to see all the floating   lights it’s called Tangled all right let’s get 
    into 10 tips you need to know before traveling Thailand money I’ll let the ex bank manager 
    handle this one Thailand uses the Thai Bart as its currency it’s relatively strong and consistent 
    right now a th000 Thai Bart converts into about $3.38 Australian or $29.96 American our best 
    tip for converting on the Fly is to add a little bit to your conversion so whenever I looked at a 
    th000 B I just thought that’s $45 Australian that usually covers the pretty expensive ATM fees 
    depending on how much you get out obviously   that is a fast and loose way of converting on the 
    fly if you want to use a converter you absolutely can speaking of withdrawing the money the ATMs 
    in Thailand charge about 220 B just to use them that’s about1 Australian dollars just to access 
    your cash so if you’re comfortable it might be financially prudent of you to withdraw quite 
    a lot and keep it with you or stash it around   in your bags for safekeeping it is definitely 
    a country where cash is King you can pay card at some establishments but to pay for Tuk to 
    street food all of the good stuff you’re going   to need cash also just a personal experience 
    thing don’t sleep on the coins they have 10 B coins and I found a lot of them in my bag after 
    we left Thailand that I could have bought a lot   of stuff with safety Thailand is a world tourism 
    capital and we have never felt unsafe that being said be aware of how much a ride should cost so 
    you’re not getting scammed make sure you’ve got   your bag around your body so you’re not going 
    to get peckpocket keep an eye on your drink if you’re out partying don’t go down dark Alleyways 
    if you feel unsafe all of the standard things that I would do in a city anywhere around the world 
    do them in Thailand SIM cards in the past we have always told people to avoid getting a SIM card at 
    the airport and instead get them in the city that is still true but we’ve recently come around to 
    eims and to be honest if you’re on a holiday or a vacation something that’s 1 to 3 weeks eims 
    make a a lot of sense the fact that you can land in the plane arrive at the airport and be 
    connected before you walk to passport control is honestly a game Cher If you were in Thailand 
    for a little bit longer say a month or more you can get cheaper plans at any 7-Eleven definitely 
    make sure you download and have WhatsApp installed and ready on your phone before you leave your home 
    country because it does need to verify your number   and eims don’t always come with one because 
    WhatsApp is how you are going to communicate with basically everyone in Thailand from your 
    hotel to your Tuk Tok driver to booking tours it’s all done through WhatsApp travel between 
    cities the cheapest way to get between cities   in Thailand is unfortunately long buses we’ve 
    done more buses than we can even remember but it is always consistently the cheapest option 
    and you can upgrade to like the VIP section or the more luxury style buses sometimes that still 
    comes cheaper than buying a train ticket another good option is the Thailand rail network it does 
    go everywhere and is available in three classes you’ve got your third class which is a pretty hard 
    seat usually no air conditioning and it’s really brutal the second class is a little bit more 
    plushy and if it’s overnight turns into a lay flat bed it is all the beds in one Carriage kind 
    of like a hostel but gets the job done or first class is the most expensive one it’s typically 
    a private cabin with just two of you so a lot more expensive but a lot more comfortable tip if 
    you go for second class CL is to try and pay the little bit extra to get a bottom bunk because 
    they don’t turn the lights off during the night   and if you’re on the top bunk you basically have 
    a floresent light in your face Emily got the top punk yeah I’m a bit salty about it still now 
    obviously if you know your plans ahead of time you might be able to get on a cheap flight they 
    are really really cheap provided you get them a   few weeks in advance this doesn’t normally work 
    for us cuz we’re quite last minute especially when we’re traveling southeast Asia we also have bags 
    that need need to be checked in and unfortunately that tends to double the price of flights drinking 
    water the general rule in Thailand is the bigger the city the safer the water is likely to be 
    but even locals sort of aren’t 100% trusting on this I would say bu bottled water we’re also 
    not that concerned with ice it tends to be made from filtered water I don’t know maybe it’s like 
    a barley an old barley thing everyone was like   don’t get ice in your drinks like you’re going 
    to get barley belly but I never worry about and we’ve knock on wood never had a problem speaking 
    the language Thailand is one of the most heavily toured countries in the entire world and as such 
    the locals are incredibly skilled at languages we rarely if ever had a problem conversing 
    in English however it is not difficult and it’s looked upon very favorably if you do learn 
    some basic tie hello Isa thank you K another tip if you’re worried about it is to download Google 
    Translate you can choose tie and download it for offline use so you’ll be able to converse easily 
    Insurance since we started traveling in early 2022 we view safe doing for all of our travel 
    medical insurance as a former bank manager and insurance guy I can personally vouch for safety 
    Wing not only is the level of cover perfect for us as Nomads but every time I’ve had any sort of 
    question about what’s covered or what’s excluded they’re responding in minutes I honestly think I 
    might need to apolog oliz to whoever manages the safety Wing chat function because I’m in there 
    all the time I got to be sure you know he’s a   nervous guy arguably our favorite thing about the 
    safety Wing policies is their subscription payment feature if you’re like us and you don’t really 
    know where you’re going to be next week let alone next month it’s so good to have the flexibility 
    to be able to ticket box and change the policy   to fit us perfectly which means I can take out a 
    policy that’s paid monthly and adapts to our needs as we change country and all of this for what is 
    literally a few dollars a day insurance has come a long way since I was in the bank if you are 
    looking for a travel medical insurance for your   next trip I have left the safety Wing Link in the 
    description below I highly suggest you check them out before you buy any sort of policy having 
    them the first time we were in Thailand when   we were riding in an ambulance on COA mui just 
    gave me so much peace of mind that we were going to be okay Ubers and taxis U Uber doesn’t exist 
    in Thailand in its original form you can kind of think of grab as Uber the thing we love so much 
    about an order service like that is that you can just punch in where you’re going where you are you 
    don’t have to negotiate or try and describe the   hotel that you don’t know where it is not sure if 
    the language barrier is going to be a difficulty and you can watch on the map as you go to where 
    you need to go if we do think a taxi could maybe come in cheaper than that we like to use grab as 
    a fact finding Mission so we’ll pop in the hotel address dress see how far away it is how much grab 
    would charge and then we’ll basically try and get   it for cheaper with a taxi driver typically works 
    if you can go down to a Tuk Tok I do think there’s another app that you can get that’s like grabbed 
    for Tuk TOS I’ll find out what that is and put it   on the screen somewhere another thing that comes 
    in handy for is that they deliver food so cheaply in Thailand so if you’re feeling extra lazy or 
    you’re having a work day behind your laptops ordering a meal to your hotel has never been 
    cheaper we got nearon tons of chicken and rice delivered from the other side of Bangkok for I 
    think the the cheapest we got it was like $3 per container crazy visas and vaccinations this one’s 
    an easy one and it actually just got easier as an American or an Australian we now get 60 days 
    Visa free and if you wanted to stay longer than the 60 days you can do Visa runs and just cross 
    a border into another Southeast Asian country and come back Google that yourself though cuz 
    we’ve never actually done that we’ve just seen   we use a service called sherper travel to confirm 
    all of our Visa regulations it’s free to use you punch in your passport where you’re going to 
    from any connections and it spits out Health requirements whether you need to apply for a Visa 
    a link so you can apply for the Visa we found it   after Co and love it speaking of vaccinations that 
    hot humid climate of Thailand and Southeast Asia can be pretty prominent with insect born diseases 
    I think the basic recommendation is a malaria and a d fever shot but consult your doctor because 
    it might be different by now who knows Airbnb versus hotels we’ve used Airbnb all across the 
    world generally we’ve had good experiences for a cheaper price than hotels but that has slowly 
    been changing Airbnb prices are increasing and what you’re getting for the price is going down 
    and I think hotels and websites like booking.com   have got incentives and reward programs now that 
    they’re really trying to compete and often you’re getting like free room upgrades and free breakfast 
    included so we typically find our hotels through a combination of booking.com aoda and Airbnb find 
    out what’s going to be the best hotel for us and then look at how much it is to book direct we 
    found pretty frequently that booking.com or aoda have it cheaper than direct so if you’re willing 
    to take the time and look at everything you will   save a lot of money another key is if you’re 
    a Booking.com person get the app on your phone because you often get mobile only discounts so for 
    just switching to my phone and booking my hotel on there I’m saving like 20% sometimes 
    significantly cheaper crazy don’t know why   don’t know those were our most asked questions 
    through all our Thailand Vlogs obviously if we didn’t answer your specific question feel free to 
    leave it in the comments below and we’ll answer   it as soon as we can but now let’s dive into some 
    of the biggest tourist spots in Thailand in a bit more detail Thailand is a deceptively big place 
    with over 1,400 Islands obviously we haven’t seen all of it but we’re going to do our best to cover 
    the big and tourist hotspot places in the country Phuket if you Google image search Phuket you’ll 
    see beautiful Clear Water Limestone Cliffs boats floating around a real secluded Paradise the 
    reality is Phuket is kind of a big island and all that beautiful picturesque stuff is 
    actually dotted in the small islands around   it the most famous of which is Fang n Bay there 
    are loads of beautiful Tropical Islands in that bay we just we can’t list them all to get there 
    multiple International or domestic flights will land at Phuket airport and if you’re planned in 
    advance you can get flights for as cheap as $30 there are also buses that run down from Bangkok 
    but I think that takes like 20 hours honestly if you’re mid to late 20s or older just fly there’s 
    no point getting to Phuket and having to struggle with a sawback the whole time where to stay as 
    for Phuket itself people typically pick one of   two places to stay they’re both about an hour 
    drive south from the airport one of which is quite Beach Centric the other is very much an old 
    city Patong Beach can be called the party area of Phuket it’s got the famous bang road with dancing 
    and drinking and lights and sounds and it’s it’s all a bit too much for us but people love it the 
    next two notable beaches in that area are Kata and kuron they’re much more relaxed peaceful 
    stop and drop Resort style beaches across on the other side of the island is Phuket Old town 
    this place is super rich in history it’s got really interesting architecture there’s a couple 
    of night markets and weekend markets to visit and   a really strong historical significance we’ve 
    linked a couple of places we recommend staying below things to do there are loads of things to do 
    in Phuket as one of the main hubs in Thailand the most popular thing is to get on a boat and go out 
    to the different Bays of those islands that we’ve   mentioned there are countless tours that will take 
    you to Mya Bay and PE Island which we’ve heard is just incredible they usually leave Before Sunrise 
    and include lunch so it’s a full incredibly tiring day but a good way to see a lot in a short amount 
    of time again we’ll leave this all broken down below with links to all of the tours that we would 
    recommend there’s also a bunch of the standard   thae holiday things you can do like hikes zip 
    lining and elephant experiences we just recommend only go to the no touch elephant sanctuaries 
    obviously don’t ride them mhm that’s a no-brainer these days right like we shouldn’t have to say 
    that Co COI Co Penang the co the co these islands are arguably the most traveled to by tourists and 
    the one you probably have heard of is co Samui this line of Island sits on the Eastern side of 
    Thailand and they’re relatively easy to get to how   to get there firstly Costa has its own pretty big 
    airport I don’t know if international flights go directly in there but there are so many domestic 
    flights every single day it’s pretty easy more often than not a traveler will want to experience 
    the more local and true way to get there though   and there are fairies that take you across again 
    loads of different companies that do that you’ll need to look online to try for the best one 
    that suits you for time and price price the ferry Journey takes about 3 hours and depending on 
    whether it can be pretty rough you can also book it as a package deal so when we were going from 
    kosui back to Bangkok we had our faery from Ki to the mainland and then the bus connected on from 
    there we didn’t have to worry about anything it   was off of the ferry onto the bus also if you get 
    seasick just be prepared for that where to stay most people elect to just stay on kosui and do day 
    trips out to cyang and coot that is a great option it’s going to be a little bit cheaper to have like 
    a longer term stay somewhere the only exception to   that is if you really want to go and do something 
    specific like kotow has a snorkeling scuba Hub and they teach you how to scuba there if you want to 
    do that it’s going to make a lot more sense to go   and stay on the island and do a 5-day course than 
    going back and forth every day we’ve heard that cow is some of the best diving people have ever 
    done and affordable yeah things to do you’re on an island so do all of the island things lay on 
    the beach go snorkeling go for a swim maybe you   want to try scuba diving some people especially on 
    Co mui will hire a motorcycle drive around to see all of the beaches and the waterfalls be careful 
    look if you know how to ride one go for it if you don’t maybe don’t do it learn from our mistakes 
    Bangkok Bangkok is a mega City and pretty much the opposite to everywhere we’ve mentioned so far 
    it is really tall buildings really loud streets horns blaring your typical Metropolis that being 
    said this home of 11 million people is still very much worth a visit how to get there Bangkok is 
    right in the middle of Thailand and odds are if   you’re not flying into Phuket you’re probably 
    flying in there you can also get buses trains everything it’s the capital so basically every 
    route leads to Bangkok it’s like the middle of a spiderweb and all the rail and all the bus RADS 
    go everywhere where to stay did we mention Bangkok is really really really big that being said if 
    you are staying near one of the Metros or the MRT or the sky rail or any sort of public transport 
    you’re pretty fine the networks around Bangkok are really well connected and you can pretty much get 
    anywhere you need to go in a reasonable amount of time for not too much money worst case scenario 
    grab will come to the rescue what to do Bangkok has three main temples the what Arun which we did 
    it costs 200 tii bar per person entry but you get a little water on that which I think is so nice 
    it is early I think it’s been open for about an   hour or two now but it’s not that busy what pra 
    and the Grand Palace those two we didn’t do if you’ve got the budget and the time we’d recommend 
    doing them all if you had to pick one I think what a run is probably going to be the winner anyway 
    it’s the cheapest so that goes a long way in our   books apart from the temples you’ll notice in 
    Bangkok A River Runs right through the city and you can get different cruises on here ranging from 
    the cheapest which is basically public transport on the river you can pay for a private boat tour 
    to all of the sites or what we would recommend a Sunset Cruise along the river buffet dinner it’s 
    a little bit hectic a little bit crazy little bit dangerous holy but after that first half hour it 
    settles down and you just get to go past all of these sites and they’re all lit up the city 
    looks beautiful Bangkok at night looks very   different and it’s just as beautiful if you want 
    to get out of the city a little bit more there are heaps of day trips to choose from one is a super 
    popular pick you up in the morning take you to the floating market and a train Market give you some 
    lunch and drive you back getting out of the city   and getting into the culture is something that’s 
    highly recommended to do and this is a good way to do it if you don’t have heaps of time again we’ll 
    link it down below there are countless markets throughout Bangkok that you should go visit 
    notable ones are chatu weekend Market Asiatic that was super fun toing chain floating Market J 
    fair is apparently really cool Sukhothai Sukhothai is our favorite little gem we found this year 
    while traveling Thailand it is between Bangkok and Chiang Mai and we think it is worth your 
    time it kind of feels like a Chiang Mai before tourists really got there it’s definitely less 
    known how’ you get there we recommend keeping it simple and just taking a bus from Bangkok it 
    is 6 hours and that sounds really really tough especially if you’re only there for a couple of 
    weeks but we think it’s definitely worth it and   the bus ride wasn’t too bad went super quick we 
    just got to watch the Thailand Countryside go by really not bad just make sure you buy your 
    tickets to The Old City not to the new city because they are different things and it’s kind of 
    confusing where to stay Emily kind of touched on   already with the bus tickets but sugai is spread 
    into the old city and the new city there is accommodation almost in The Old City it’s right 
    near the gate and we stayed in a specific place that was super cheap and we really enjoyed it’s 
    perfect for a couple of nights we’ll link that   in the description below my biggest advice is just 
    make sure you look at the map when you’re booking it and don’t stay in the new city oh it would be 
    such a mistake because it means you have to wake up catch a bus with other people then hire your 
    bike then finally to the ticket office to buy a tickets to the historic site before finally 
    getting in by the time you’ve done all of   those things we’re on to the second temple yeah 
    and we’re completely alone and you probably have people with you so stay in the old sea things to 
    do the big calling card and the main reason anyone goes to Sukhothai is the Sukhothai Historical Park 
    it is epic we loved our time there you can hire a bike for less than a dollar a day and ride around 
    this Historic Park it is perfectly flat if riding a bike isn’t available to you you can also hire 
    golf carts or get the electric tram thing that they have going around it is so much fun they 
    also have tandem bikes which we didn’t know until halfway through but that would have been 
    fun that would have been fun it’s a great cure   for if you’re feeling templed out because it is 
    very different to the stand in line with a bunch of people it’s really hot in the midday Sun see 
    a temple it’s cool go somewhere else this is like you’re in the grounds experiencing it typically 
    solo cuz you can just ride to a different area and there’s no people there you can do a tour 
    where you would learn a lot more history and   facts than we did but we would recommend doing it 
    independently and trying to research that on your own so you can really appreciate it while you’re 
    there because we had every single Monument to ourselves for at least 5 minutes I would say each 
    at least minimum and that was the busiest time so much better a quick note on the tickets for 
    Sukhothai Historic Park is that they’ve broken up into regions so if you want to try and save some 
    money you could pick one region I think I’d pick   the main one if that was the case I think it’s 
    100 tie bar per person plus 30 tie B maybe for the bike to be allowed to go in we ended up paying for 
    two regions because we wanted to see a particular Temple and I think it was worth it totally worth 
    it I think if you’ve got the time and you’ve got   the stamina to keep running around do as much 
    as possible yeah we would also recommend trying to be there on a Friday or Saturday because on 
    those days there is a night mark it within the ancient city walls so you literally walk down 
    buy some food sit down watch the sunset going past this ancient Pagoda it was such a pinch me 
    moment it’s beautiful and let us know if you find Sukhothai Noodles cuz we couldn’t they’re very 
    spicy Chiang Mai as you Journey further north the population of elephants and zip lining and 
    waterfalls and jungle tracks all increases the weather gets a little bit cooler it gets a little 
    bit more comfortable and without a doubt the crown   Jewel of that region is Chiang Mai we don’t know 
    what it is about this city and we’ve spoken with other digital Nomads it’s like a Sirens call like 
    no matter what you do in Thailand you need to go to Chiang Mai it literally acts as the central 
    Hub we were in Northern Thailand we went to   Chiang Mai three separate times how to get there 
    of course being a northern Hub means there’s a lot of different options to get there there is a very 
    popular airport with flights to and from all over   southeast Asia both domestic and international 
    lots of the buses lead up there most of the train lines finish that’s the furthest North the train 
    lines go it’s a breeze to get to basically you can pick your poison whichever your favorite 
    mode of Transport is to get somewhere you can   get that to Chiang Mai I think if you’re wanting 
    to experience what travel in Thailand is really like it’s a great opportunity to do an overnight 
    sleeper from Bangkok to Chiang Mai that’s a train that takes like 15 hours overnight sleeping 
    it’s an experience and everyone has to do it you almost have to do the second class sleeper to 
    do that route otherwise you’re not doing it the   right way yeah experience a second class where 
    to stay Chiang Mai is not short of options of where to stay you can find a place inside the city 
    walls for relatively cheap we stayed at the Delana which was one street away from the market but we 
    also stayed in a cheaper place it was a little bit   outside of the walls which is only a 10-minute 
    walk and you were in anyway if you’re looking for something to splurge on about an hour out of 
    Chiang Mai there is super unique accommodations or if you just want a different side but to 
    still be quite close to everything Brewery   sing Hotel Immaculate another accommodation is 
    the chaii orchard elephant Sanctuary this is on our Chiang Mai bucket list to this day because 
    we’re never booked far enough in advance to have hotel rooms available but it looks Sensational 
    it is an elephant Sanctuary it is ethical and you wake up with the elephants right next to 
    your room we’ve tried to book it three times   and every time they’re sold out so get in early 
    enough make it the first thing you book when you’re planning to go to Northern Tha what to do 
    think all things jungle Adventure there are so many different elephant Sanctuary zip lands 
    jungle tricks anything you can think of you   can probably do in Chiang Mai or just around it 
    Chiang Mai is also home to heaps of unique cafes restaurants amazing accommodations if you want 
    to splurge for something truly unique you can probably do it from Chiang Mai we even rented a 
    car in the area and felt completely comfortable weird of course the Sunday night walking Market 
    needs to be experienced in Chiang Mai it is one of the most famous markets in all of Thailand 
    it’s super crowded but there’s some pretty good food that we have recommended over and over again 
    and we’ll recommend again chicken skewers go to Watson Po and get them thank us later if you take 
    one thing away from this video chicken skewers and go there and take a video post it to Instagram 
    and tag Us in it so we can be jealous don’t that I need to think about them that often while 
    you’re at the market as well you should also treat   yourself to a massage cuz they are really cheap 
    and really so relax if you want to get out of the city there’s lots of different pagodas and temples 
    that you can go to we didn’t feel a strong urge to   go and see them all but if you’re in Thailand on a 
    holiday or a vacation it’s probably worth seeing o another thing that’s super popular to do in Chiang 
    Mai is a Thai cooking class they look like so much fun you get to go to the market pick up some 
    food learn how to make all of your favorite dishes   and then eat it all Chiang Rai Chiang Rai is 
    the most northern town in Thailand it’s about a 3-hour drive by bus from Chiang Rai and offers 
    arguably more stunning at least more interesting temples some people will do this as a day trip 
    from Chiang mai but we would recommend staying out there 3 hours that 6 hours return for a day 
    trip no howd to get there we’ve sort of touched on that already there is a a local bus that will 
    take you from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai it’s only   3 hours and it’s relatively cheap where to stay 
    Chiang Rai is a pretty small town you’re not going to have too much trouble finding somewhere to stay 
    that’s Central and also affordable my only advice would be try and stay somewhere near the middle 
    because it’s not too noisy here and having easy   access it’s just going to make life so much easier 
    what to do there Chiang Rai is home to arguably one of the most famous thae temples the white 
    temple you will see countless aesthetic Instagram worthy photos that are taken here but we would 
    recommend the blue Temple I think because we had all the expectations on the white temple and none 
    for the blue Temple it meant that the blue one   just blew us out of the water blue blue blue blue 
    nice apparently made by the same guy or like the guy and his Apprentice yeah something like that 
    yeah there’s also something to be said for just   walking through the town of Chiang Rai they have 
    like the historical clock in the center of these roads and like markets like everywhere and it’s 
    a much calmer Vibe than shangai they also have to this day even though we have been to Italy one of 
    Jordan’s favorite pizza places yeah it’s top three yeah Pai Pai the hippie town of Thailand it’s up 
    north quite high in the mountains and is famous for a very relaxed yoga Shaggy from Scooby-Doo 
    sort of vibe super popular for people on Gap years and people that are just traveling around 
    on a really Sho string budget hostile Vibes how to get there there are only two ways to get to 
    buy the first way is to rent a scooter and drive   yourself up there the second way the way we did is 
    no doubt going to be the bus Journey that everyone warns you about in Thailand because there are 762 
    turns meaning if you get motion sickness take some tablets take a plastic baggie just in case maybe 
    don’t eat that morning it’s high risk it is not rare for people to feel that sick that they throw 
    up on the bus which makes everyone else on the bus   feel sick and it’s just we got really lucky the 
    drivers know it’s a very hectic Road up there but they don’t slow down at all no they used to 
    it they used to it they have a schedule to keep   so yeah just be prepared and you should be okay 
    it is only about 3 to 4 hours there’s a break halfway but yes it is booking those tickets 
    on the bus you can book them at the station directly it’s a little bit cheaper than booking 
    online through sites like one to go Asia however if you do that be prepared to wait even though 
    they go every half an hour we had to wait 2 and 1 half or 3 hours to get on a bus so we highly 
    recommend just book through one to go Asia wear the extra dollar or two that it’s going to cost 
    and show up when you’re ready to go where to stay   we stayed in the Pai Village Boutique Resort 
    and loved it they had gorgeous rooms amazing property really well located it’s just adjacent 
    to the main walking street with all the markets but far enough away that you don’t get any of 
    that noise and it’s across the road from one of   the best Italian restaurants we’ve ever eaten at 
    I’m pretty sure the hotel’s restaurant is one of the top rated if not the top rated restaurant 
    in all of Pai as well doesn’t get better than   that there are loads of options to choose from 
    I think just staying Central is quite important because it’s very much a walking sort of town 
    what to do Pai is the town for relaxing there are lots of those yoga retreats even a few like no 
    technology yoga retreats up there those speaking Retreats I think I saw places designed to help 
    you reconnect with nature um which I really want to do one day just wasn’t the time when we were 
    there the other side of that Spectrum it is also the home of Tipsy Ching which is funny hectic it 
    is where the entire River turns into only donuts and people floating down drinking and drinking and 
    drinking music playing a bar floating past maybe you pull over it looks so much fun it is only run 
    during a particular time of the year because of the weather we actually also saw that you can wi 
    water off/ tube back to Chiang Mai I think it’s like You Tube half of the way and then you get 
    a bust the rest of the way but that’s pretty fun   still that’s pretty cool there is of course the 
    iconic bamboo Bridge which we had completely to ourselves there’s Pai Canyon which looks amazing 
    and every single night there is a market on plus one of the biggest recommendations that we got 
    from our hotel is go to a place called two Huts   at Sunset we had a little bit of cloud cover but 
    I can see that that would be very beautiful to have a beer kick back watch the sunset it’s just 
    a really good way to end a day my mouth s from talking to so much and that wraps up our time 
    in Thailand we really hope you got something out of this Thailand guide and maybe we changed 
    or gave you ideas that you didn’t have before if there are things that we missed please let

    1. Currently planning a trip for this November. Very helpful information and I’m now reconsidering adding some places to visit that I was even aware of.

    2. I’m Thai living in Perth Australia, thank you very much guys for a lovely VDO and showing the world how beautiful Thailand is. We’re welcome everyone to explore see a beautiful scenery a beautiful Thai people, countryside and our beautiful culture. Thanks so much guys, ❤👏🙏🇹🇭 Shukhothai will be our next trip after we watch your vdo, I’m gonna take my husband there 😍

    3. Good day ,I am from south Africa and a I have R30 000 saved up for my trip to Thailand. Which is around 50 000 bah. Is this enough in your opinion ?to see all the things mentioned.

    4. Such a great video, so informative and great details. I will be using this as a guide to plan my trip to Thailand. Would love to see more guides set out like this of other countries you visit. See the potential of you guys being the Aussie Kara and Nate.

    5. We are going to do a trip this December – do you recommend going from North to South (Pai to Koh islands) and finishing on the relaxing beaches… or the opposite? Thanks!

    6. Amazing! Thank you so much, we are planning for 2026! I'm all about seeing the temples and the white and blue ones ❤ i never knew existed. It's definitely on the itinerary, and I really appreciate your video ❤

    7. Thank you to you both. I will be 75 during my trip to SE Asia in 2026. I'm planning a 75 day tour to celebrate all those years around the sun. I am no stranger to travel. I am British Canadian but I have lived in Spain for 29 years this year. Am I excited? You bet. Am I scared? Yes, I admit I am. I have realised that there are a lot of things I can do in my head that my body is likely to say "No way! in warning. Justifiably. Your videos, all of them, give me that little boost of extra courage I need. I'll keep your videos handy for whenever I have a few shadows of doubt! You have produced some beautiful and welcoming work and the love between you shines though every frame. Happy to be a subscriber.

    8. use apps for tuk tuk not cash!!!! ALWAYS get a sim card at the airport, so you have internet on the ride to the hotel. ITS SOOOO MUCH CHEAPER THAN esims!!!! NEVER drink tap water, no local would ever drink from the tap. Ice cubes are 95% delivered, not safe to drink. Im starting to ask myself why you are making up so much BS

    9. Complimenti sinceri per il video! Io ho viaggiato molto ma i viaggi che ritengo più completi sono quelli che mi avevano permesso di raggiungere la Thailandia dove ero rimasto estasiato di fronte a spiagge e paesaggi paradisiaci a Phuket, a Phi Phi Island, Maya Bay e Krabi! incantato anche dagli spettacolari tramonti visibili a Patong beach, meta giornaliera delle navi da crociera, cui assistevo trasognato ogni sera e per ricordare i quali ho inserito, alla fine del mio video album! Assorbito integralmente anche dall'atmosfera orientale e magica la quale, soprattutto presso i templi Buddisti visitati, come Chalong e il Big Buddha, aveva permesso di innescare un approfondito percorso introspettivo il quale aveva poi favorito e determinato il raggiungimento di una pace interiore molto simile al Nirvana! Estasiato anche da un altro viaggio, sull'altra costa orientale dove esplorato Koh Samui: esplorato di spiagge paradisiache e incontaminate, templi incredibili con statua enorme del Buddha detta "Big Buddha" e avventura nella jungla selvaggia attraverso la quale avevo raggiunto la cascata di Hin Lad dove avevo rischiato l'incolumità dopo l'incontro con un cobra! Avevo fatto escursione in battello in incantevole parco marino di "Ang Thong", disseminato da molte isole selvagge dove visitato un isola con lago salato all'interno di un vulcano spento, poi in altra isola mi ero cimentato in una ardua scalata, resa ancora più impegnativa e difficoltosa a causa di una temperatura oltre i 40* aggravata da un altissimo tasso di umidità ma, una volta raggiunta la vetta, lo spettacolo incomparabile dell'arcipelago mi aveva ampiamente ripagato dell'enorme sforzo sostenuto!. A Koh Samui rilassato con nuotate nelle spiagge di Chaweng e Lamai. A Bangkok ammirato dalla bellezza di vari templi, in particolare il Palazzo Reale con il Buddha di Smeraldo e il Tempio con il Buddha Sdraiato.
