BAN RAK THAI (Mae Hong Son Day 5)

[@สุทธิศักดิ์มธุรพงศากุล]

As you enter the tea plantation, in winter, there are Japanese cherry blossom trees. and Himalayan sakura Here you must try Yunnan Sukiyaki and Yunnan Noodles. The place if you go up to the top of the mountain is next to the border with Myanmar. It used to be the 93rd Division of the Chiang Kai-Shek Army from Taiwan. which has invaded the Chinese Communist Party into Myanmar before moving into the Thai border and help prevent the Thai Communist Party from expanding its influence in this area

[@jomontanee]

Brilliant idea!!

[@OnePackWanderers]

We had no idea that the area had military history like that. We also heard that Ban Rak Thai was founded by Chinese soldiers that preferred Thailand over China. Really interesting area!

[@kamolhengkiatisak1527]

How to drink tea is to pull the long cup and smell tea's fragrance like you do with wine when you open the bottle or when you pour win into the grass you smell it first. The long cup purpose is to trap tea's fragrance while the hot water extracts the tea's favor and fragrance.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Ah, that is very clever. It was a neat way to serve it, and the intention behind it is nice 🙂

[@MillaExplores]

I always enjoy watching the bloopers 😂 After watching your videos quite a lot I've noticed that Tia really enjoys dessert, today's cake looked so so good! 😄

[@OnePackWanderers]

Ahhh Tia has a crazy sweet tooth 😂😂

[@dougmaclean9752]

[@remphish1]

[@OnePackWanderers]

That’s really kind of you, Doug! Thanks a lot for doing that, your comments have always been very nice and supportive 🙂

[@cpromvijitify]

Normally, you are first youtube channel I open while driving to work for about a week. It really gave me a smile and cool head while stuck in traffic. Thank you for making my day more joyful and joyride.

[@OnePackWanderers]

That makes us really happy 😊 Glad we make your day a little better!

[@Walts-Travel]

Mark Wiens was just staying at that resort. You can pick whatever vegetables you want and eat them. That's the ultimate resort, and they stay booked. You guys are living the life. So happy for you and thanks for raking us along this journey with you. Also, congrats for hitting 10K! 👏

[@thomasauslander3757]

I'm buying my girlfriend vegetables on valentine's day Hope she don't think i'm corny. 🌽

[@boonratana8671]

Ban Rak Thai means the village of persons who love Thailand. Because of The King PhumiPhol (RAMA IX) let the lost chinese soldier in Yoonnan by Communist Moa Army and their family can live in Thailand. So they called their village Ban Rak Thai.

[@OnePackWanderers]

That was a very nice thing that the king of Thailand did 🙂

[@notey_]

welcome back to Thailand lol. Thanks for the vids, I love your spirits :)

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you, that’s very nice of you to say 😊

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Seriously, you guys have gotten so good at describing your food!! That cake though. 😍😍😍

[@OnePackWanderers]

Ha, we were just talking about how we need to get better at describing food! Too many repeated adjectives 😂 Thank you though, that’s really kind of you 🙂

[@WeWanderlustCo]

Hey guys! Just SUBBED. We love the vibe of your channel - nice and laid back. We love the drive up the town and the Chinese lanterns were so beautiful. We'll definitely be visiting that hotel when we're there. It looked so serene and peaceful. Would love to meet up when we're in TH. :)

[@OnePackWanderers]

If the timing is right, that’d be awesome 🙂

[@waynerm002]

LOL. I like how you “left” Thailand, that’s so cool! You guys are visiting some really cool places!

[@OnePackWanderers]

We thought it was hilarious for some reason 😂

[@ake5800]

I agree on your travels. There are probably not many tourists like you. to explore this adventurous driving Surely many people who watched it were jealous of you guys, even myself. Both of you have pinned your walk there. And this would be the charm of a road trip trip.

[@OnePackWanderers]

That is very kind of you to say, thank you 😊🙏🏼 We prefer this way of traveling, it is more fun I think 😄

[@walkwithtimmi2764]

Such a beautiful vibes village❤️

Some 1 Was Very Happy This Morning. I Saw Smoke While You Were Driving. Probably Some 1 Having A Brush Fire Burning. Absolutely Love This Chinese Village. Lunch Looked Yummy. WOW On That Big Piece Of Cake Tia's Eating. I Am Shell Shocked You Can Walk Right Into Myanmar. Enjoyed Bloopers. Excellent All Around.

[@OnePackWanderers]

You are right about the bush fires. There’s a lot of controlled burns happening all over right now 😬

Don't know why I recently love watching you guys' videos so much, maybe it's not a too much overhyped video that everything you tasted ot went to must be super great. Love that honest review and love seeing you guys enjoy things and places in Thailand. :) Have a great trip.

[@OnePackWanderers]

You guys still in north? We’ve been in Pai last two days - burning season just started! Still beautiful

[@OnePackWanderers]

We just got back to Chiang Mai yesterday. Indeed burning season came on really dramatically! Our last few days on the loop were very smokey. Are the fires in Pai visible at night?

Tia for scale and desserts, Cheveyo for transport. Together you find your way through some of the most incredible parts of the world. Thanks for letting us enjoy your take on travel through these almost daily vids. To be honest: you order food I would not be inclined to order. Adventurous in choice of timing, country, food and mode of travel: real daring people. Please keep it up! Thanks to you I'm planning my next trip thanks to your wonderful vids. Can't wait to get out there again. Again thank you and enjoy! Above all: may all your travels be safe. Stay healthy. 😄❣Happy valentine!❤🤟🥮🍩🍨🍰🥧🍮🫖☕

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you very much for the kind, encouraging comment, it is a truly wonderful source of motivation for both of us 🙂🙏🏻 Where will your trip start? Happy (belated) Valentine’s to you!

[@ed7872]

@@OnePackWanderers Thank you for your Valentine wishes! Answering your question: My last two trips I have started in Taiwan. My very first times I went to this island and I really fell in love. Wonderful people,quaint littel villages and high tech cities. A great mix of cultures, ancient, religious and ultra modern. And the people are sooo nice. But most important, I guess, for Tia: the food. OMG the food is out of this world. Classic beef noodle soup, xia long bao (soup dumplings), oyster omelets. The night markets with a massive amount of different street foods. The only thing that should be out of this world: stinky tofu. Typically after that I travel to SE Asia i.e. Singapore and hang around ther for a few days. From there there are cheap options to travel south to Indonesia or north to Malaysia. Special message for Tia: every way you go there it's food heaven. The hawker centres of Singapore, the food in Malaysia (visit Penang) or a food adventure through Indonesia. Both Malaysia and Indonesia offer great nature, on- and offshore. In Indonesia: don't hang around too long on Bali. Go to all the other islands. They have such a long history and so much to show for it. Relax on the Gili islands, east of Bali. Then go to Lombok, Sumbawa, Komodo, Rinca, Flores, the spice islands, etc. All in all a great place to visit. And for food: while in Indonesia enjoy the fried rice, beef rendang and babi guling (on Bali) its roasted suckling pig. So good. I hope to travel again in April this year and again start in Taiwan, Singapore and then wherever I am allowed in again. About 6 to 7 weeks. I wish I could make a trip like yours and spend more time on the road, but, well that ain't gonna happen. I wish you all the best on the road. Be careful, look after each other and yourself (in reverse order is ultimately the best) and enjoy and indulge.Take only pictures and leave only footsteps behind. Love and respect. 😎😷❤❤❤🤟👍🍀🍉🍌🍓🥑🧄🌶🧅🍖🍗🥩🥣🍧🍧🍧🍧🍧🍧

[@OnePackWanderers]

@@ed7872 Thank you so much for taking the time to type this all out! We've heard the stinky tofu is quite the 'acquired taste' haha 😅 Would really love to visit more of SEA, at the moment we are sort of waiting for more places to open up! It seems that is happening, though, with the Philippines opening and some other places announcing plans to. Cambodia has been open a while, but we were worried about getting stuck there. Anyways, cheers and thanks again for all of the insight! You've really sold us on Taiwan in particular!

[@ed7872]

@@OnePackWanderers Thanks guys,appreciate the warm words. FYI Bali is opening up again. I believe Vietnam is open as well and could always be reached by air from Chiang Mai. Otherwise, still a lot to dicover in Thailand. Checkout Chiang Dao. Close to Chiang Mai. Jeff may know the way to get there. 😀😀😀😀 Great food to keep Tia soooo happy.🍧🍨🍩🍪🎂🍰🧁🥧☕☕☕🫖🍵🍵🍵🥤🥤🧋🧋🧋

[@icicleheat7]

go to boon ko ku so bridge.you would love it.

Thank you for the tip! We missed that one unfortunately. Next time we're in Pai!

[@kopekultan]

Do you prefer the beach or the mountains? Thank you:)

[@OnePackWanderers]

It’s tough to say! The beach is nice for relaxing and the mountains are maybe a bit better for adventure 🙂 It would be fun to learn how to surf. Which do you prefer?

[@rcBorneo]

Another awesome vlog! You guys cracked me up at the Myanmar/Thailand border, so funny...I was waiting for some border security guard (with guns) coming out from the bushes, ha ha ha 😅

Tia was a bit worried about that too 😂🤣

our version of chineese has a lot of indonesian influences nice place , realy pretty and a lot of nice views

[@OnePackWanderers]

This is very interesting! Do you know why that is?

[@watahyahknow]

@@OnePackWanderers indonesia was a dutch colony a lot of indonesian people moved to the netherlands when indonesia became independent and these people took a lot of their traditional dishes with them , the chineese restaurant owners tried those dishes on their menu and they where verry populair amongst their customers so they kept them in , things like sate ( skewered fried pork wirh a peanutsaus) and nasi ( rice with veggies some meat herbs and egg) Goreng ( fried porkbelly with gabbage abd sweet sour saus ) and a few more that i cannot think of at the top of my head

[@OnePackWanderers]

@@watahyahknow Thank you for the insight! Very interesting how things like that happen. We noticed perhaps a small instance of this in Italy. Lots of Chinese places selling Italian-Chinese pasta hybrids. Or at least that's how we interpreted it, haha.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Haha, touché. It’s pretty crazy what a (none dollar menu) meal costs at a fast food place these days. Our daily budget here in Thailand is about $75. That includes the cost of plane tickets, insurance, etc.

[@PakM3388]

Hi, If you have time and a trip for adventure, do visit Tee Lor Soo waterfalls in Tak province and for best Trekking and rafting in Thailand. Highly recommend place after you have completed Chiangmai and Mae Hong Sorn Loop. Check out in Google. Make it worth the trip and one of a kind beautiful experience. 😊👍

[@OnePackWanderers]

These are awesome recommendation! Thank you very much 🙂
