CHIANG MAI TEMPLE RUN 🇹🇭 City Exploring on a Scooter 🛵 Northern Thailand Vlog

[@pomruntour7116]

Hello, I'm Thai, I watched your clip and would like to recommend to you. Travel to Chanthaburi Province ,There are many things that foreign tourists have never been to or seen ,Waterfront communities ,Beautiful beaches ,Exotic views ,It's like going back 10-20 years of Thailand ,If you want to experience the shattering Unlike the tourist attractions that tourists know and travel to, Chanthaburi has a very interesting charm that wants you to see with your own eyes, have fun traveling in Thailand.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Sounds amazing! Thank you for the recommendation 😊

So nice to see Chiang Mai again: had a great 2 weeks there back in 2015... ahhh I'm so excited to hopefully travel again this year after so long stuck at home. Hope you're still having an amazing trip ❤️

i also went in 2015 lol

The Thailand series really bring the nostalgia! I’ve been in Thailand several times before covid and I’m dying to go back one day. Until then I love love love watching your videos! 🙌🏼

[@MaplessAdventures]

I lived in Thailand for about a year and a half. Your videos are making me so happy but so jealous. I miss Thailand, the food and my thai family so much!

I feel like I’m back in Thailand when I watch your videos! Thank you ❤️

[@jarrodh8041]

Aww I can not wait to get back to Thailand as it has been many years. Yes, the sitting buddua statues at 6:13 looked very real. Safe travels to you both.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks Jarrod 😊hahaha they were ridiculously real-looking!

[@marshafranklin]

LOVE Chaing Mai!! I miss it so much. thanks for the reminder of how fantastic it is. We also did the hike through the mountain tour that you are doing. It is a LONG hike, but the experience is something you will never forget. If you haven't left yet , enjoy the hot springs because that hike up the mountain took at least 6 hours. But worth it!

[@BackpackingBananas]

The trek is the next vlog, it was indeed very long and and sweaty 😅

[@jomontanee]

Wow!!! Is this just a hostel? Wow again! It looks so bright, cozy, clean, chic, well managed and FREE GOOD COFFEE EVERYDAY!! OMG.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Yes! It’s amazing isn’t it!

[@SkyeTravels]

I miss Chiang Mai so much. I've lived there a total of over 12 months in three segments over the past 7 years. One of my favorite cities in the world. You certainly hit most of the best landmarks. Just one tip is nearly all the "h" letters in Thailand are silent. :)

[@BackpackingBananas]

I would love to spend more time in the city! Oohh thanks for the tip! I will try to remember that

[@mariammahrous8047]

Honestly ur vlogs are just so inspiring I really hope i get to travel solo one day 🤩

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks so much 🥰🥰 I’m sure you will!

[@cryptolife77]

Thank you for showing us what others dare not do. Enjoy your travels.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Pleasure as always😊

[@missbroadfoot]

This was so nostalgic for me to watch - Thailand was my last trip abroad before the world shut down in 2020. Chiang Mai was a place I had initially only planned to stay for a few days and ended up staying for a few weeks. It grew so quickly on me and I still feel such a pull towards it and its people. Enjoy your time there!

[@saseelogasuriyan3882]

Thank you for posting. I've been living vicariously through your travel videos throughout the pandemic! 😊

[@สุทธิศักดิ์มธุรพงศากุล]

I like that the northern temples have their own unique art. The viharn is made of wood ,beautiful golden pagoda. and the place is clean and quiet

[@mainlineto5988]

Wow! That 'hostel' room was amazing. Thai hotels really the best for value I've ever seen. The fact that they class that amazing room as a hostel says it all.

[@csedits2000]

i could watch your vlogs allll day, you're my favourite travel vlogger and seriously cannot wait for the rest of these thailand vlogs!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks so much 🥰🥰

[@honouraf]

This video is BEAUTIFUL. And you're so funny I was laughing when you were trying to figure out if they are real men or statues hahaha

[@MillaExplores]

Loved this vlog! It's so sad that the night market is so empty, hopefully tourists will find their way back to Thailand and Chiang Mai soon. Otherwise it looks lovely! The temple in the mountains looks amazing. I really thought the monks in the temple were real people, those are some well made statues 😂

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks Milla! Me too 🙏🏼 I’m hoping more will come slowly but surely! Hahahah right?! Those statues were unbelievable

[@carlosmarindiez4118]

Seems to be a very interesting country..no wonder why so many tourists go there..can't wait to see much more if it. Nice vlog.

[@jacobphillips7520]

If it's not on your list yet, I highly recommend traveling north up to Pai. It's a bit of a small town but it' so beautiful out there and everyone in the town is so amazing. There's a ton of outdoor activites to do as well. Best of luck on journey, safe travels :)

[@TammyTravelsTheWorld]

I love seeing all the delicious foods you eat around the world. I want to thank you for not being vegan! LOL. I follow a lot of travel vloggers and most of them are vegans sadly. I travel a lot too and I am a huge foodie. I was in Thailand a few years ago and did the night train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai - loved it. I snuck a bottle of wine on with me - made the night even more fun! There were several (male) Brits in the same car with me and we all had quite the evening bc they brought beers. Good times. Anyway, love this vid of CM. Thanks for posting.

[@deandecoursey2334]

It probably didn’t work out with your schedule but in mid January, there is an umbrella festival in BoSang, midway between Chiangmai and San Kamphaine. I’m really enjoying your videos

Hello Johnny! In this video, all the audio is from the camera’s built in mic (I was using the DJI pocket 2) but I do have a wireless mic for it which I very occasionally use but I find the built-in one is amazing for on the go!

Mainly for the social aspect ☺️ and the service of reception staff and opportunities for hostel-run activities, events and tours

They honestly don’t even check your drivers license in order to rent them! But you may need an international drivers license if you want your insurance to cover you for accidents though!

No, they do not check for a license for renting/driving the scooters. Many insurance companies will say you need an international license in order to be covered though

The prices of accomodation is very cheap over there at the moment. You can rent a small apartment for £120-£200 per month. But then you are tied to one place for a month.

@@BackpackingBananas Very true. The apartments would easily be double that price normally and be a minimum 6-12 months rental agreement but they are desperate to rent apartments due to the vastly reduced numbers of tourist's at present.
