To all, I acknowledged your feedback on elephant riding. I will not make vdo about it. Lesson learned. Sorry 🙏

[@walternyc]

Good man

[@insignificant1000]

Westerners ride horses all the time. They are empathetic hypocrites. Don't let them tell you how to behave in your own country.

[@greengreyable]

I will go to Ayutthaya in next few weeks and ride, feed and pet the elephants. Thanks for the guide Chon!

[@rodbugador4749]

Don’t worry about it Chon, it’s Thai and Southeast asian culture! Let them say and do what they want and do you think is correct to represent Thai culture. Some people are just good at saying something without a clue of what they’re saying..best travels!

[@mklim3342]

Just do as you do best…ie everything! Don’t worry about what others say, no need to be sorry. Love your vdo…keep up the good work 👍👍👍

[@tenreyes]

Chon there are many content creators on YT with focus on Thailand...but your channel is all around one of the best...not because you cater to tourists or Westerners but your tours and tips are concise and explains it as if you know what the viewers might want to ask. Your love for your country clearly shows in every video. Thailand should promote you to be the official Ambassador of Tourism....Thanks for another excellent post. 🙏

[@angelsiu5401]

I’m going to Spain 🇪🇸 and China 🇨🇳 and Manchester and Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and Scottish and kent and Dorset my wife is jenny booked

[@friendsfromthailandtravelguide]

Appreciate it❤

[@matiasf5662]

Let me start with a huge thank you! With so many misinformation and scams in this country your honest guidelines have been extremely helpful. Adding some info for new travelers: There are different categories, the 20thb is 3td class and can be somewhat uncomfortable but it is 1 hr 30 min trip. 2nd class 60 and first 267. Trains do not depart every hour nor on time. Passport is NOT required to purchase this ticket. Bolt to temples cost 50% less than tuk tuk fares from the station if you are not interested in the bike

[@friendsfromthailandtravelguide]

Thanks for the info 🇹🇭🙏

[@mklim3342]

Hi Chon, we took the trip as suggested by you 😊. It was such a wonderful experience, THB20 train ride, short boat ride, bicycle around the landmarks and lastly tuk-tuk to the last temple(too tired to cycle). It was so much fun for my kids. The weather was extremely hot, so we only managed to cycle to 2 temples. But it was all worth it. Upon coming back to Bangkok, we ended the day @JoddFairDanNeramit. What a wonderful and fulfilling trip. Thank you Chon for the wonderful arrangements. 😊👍

[@erikacooper4707]

Chon! You have the best Thailand content for westerners ❤ Your channel helped me sooo much and I’m forever grateful for you knowledge and sacrifice! I know you aren’t making a lot of money from this channel but your hard work will pay off! Your video’s helped me navigate BKK like a local and Emmy helped me pray in temple. My family was highly impressed with my knowledge, beginner Thai language and ease of use with water taxi!

[@friendsfromthailandtravelguide]

I'm so glad to hear that 🇹🇭👍🏻 please recommend this channel to friends and family 🙏

[@rxllygc]

My friends and I recently went to Ayutthaya and followed this itinerary. So much fun! Thank you, Friends from Thailand!

[@edwingrebslrac8223]

I've been to Bangkok more than 20 times & have never gotten tired of the rich interesting cultures & have seen the changes over the decades, she will always pull a string in my heart😢

[@lunesa]

This is such a high quality production! Amazing video, Chon!

[@jduvieusart]

I've just spent a day in Ayutthaya following your tips and it was perfect!! I was traveling with a friend and he was astonished that I knew there was a little ferry just in front of the station! The big difference is that we used a tuk-tuk to visit the temples. They were further appart from what I anticipated and It was bit too hot to bike. Allow me to ad my tip, go grab a beer on the terrace of "the old place", 2 minutes walk from the pier of the ferry. Thanks for help during my stay in Thailand, it was a must.

[@friendsfromthailandtravelguide]

We glad you n your friends have a good time

[@kimmysplatqn]

hi. how much was the tuktuk? thanks

[@jduvieusart]

800 bahts for 2 for 2 hours (time enough to see 4 temples). Enjoy !@@kimmysplatqn

[@Sabrpena]

I love your videos so much! Really helpful! I appreciate all the hard work you put in it!

[@wanderingallthetime]

Hi,, i have done it today exactly like what you do in the video. Its quite fun and a bit adventurous for me. I go one by to every place according to the map. However it’s quite tiring cycling around Ayutthaya city. Thanks again for your video.

[@cpanui]

Ayutthaya is a fascinating and interesting place. I enjoy your videos very much! After your videos we can all visit (and eat!) more like a local, Thank you Chon👍

Hi Chon, we just came back from our trip to BKK and followed your recommendation for Ayuttaya day trip from BKK. Crossed the river and rented bicycles and motor bike from same vendor. It was a very hot day in middle of Thailand summer but with your recommendation we had a smooth BKK Ayuttaya train trip. Thank you!

[@friendsfromthailandtravelguide]

🇹🇭🙏🤟

[@donggie0416]

Sawasdee krub 🙏 Khun Chon, After watching the video, I suddenly missed Ayutthaya. I hope to come back soon. I hope you can do a day trip to Samut Songkhram because the floating markets are good, the market especially when the train passes by and of course, Thai massage! Khob khun krub 🙏

[@wilsonliaw679]

Thank you Chon ... would love to visit Ayuthaya someday after watching this video

[@kevinp8108]

@wilsonliaw679 - I was there last April! If you love historical sites, the ruins of Ayutthaya are well worth it. Not only are there ruins within the ancient sites but also, all around the modern city. You'd see part of a ruin next to a 7-11 store! The city has done a great job preserving the ruins all over the city.

[@mikekun155]

I will be going Bangkok around October. I can't wait to try this! Thank you Chon!

[@friendsfromthailandtravelguide]

[@julieannmacalintal6402]

Hi Chon, question. How much will it be to rent a TukTuk from the Train station for a temple tour in Ayutthaya? Or the other option we are considering is to rent a TukTuk after we crossed the ferry. If so, how much will that be? We will be visiting Thailand by March. So we're trying to plan our itineraries. Thank you very much. 🙏

[@yusanjaya]

Chon and team, I like all your tips. Thailand is like a second home for our family. One suggestion - can you share trips for Kanchanaburi from the locals please!! Thank You.
