Didn't you make a tie-die at school with the rubber bands mate? They use Indigo to get the blue colour. Reckon Lucille has got a polishing cloth now🤣

[@WalkAboutWayne]

I never did at school, sounds like I was the only one that didn't 🤣. That's a good idea for the cloth mate.

[@richardlewis3419]

[@MIchael-d2i]

Enjoying your videos Wayne. Spent a fair bit of time over there myself. Brings back good memories. Keep up the good work :)

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thanks Michael, hope you can get back over soon.

[@sissisquiltandbatik]

Wow..I would love to go to this place! Yours came out nice! I LOVE tiedye! So does my husband😂 as it is my hobby at home in Sweden, I do them with ice or fluid! We sell at markets sometimes at home. My husband packed all his T with tiedye. So if you see a man in his best years...70😅 in not blue but other colours walking about in Chiang Mai now, it is him/my tiedye👍 Thank you again for showing it.👏🏻👕👚🎨

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Wow that's great! This was the first time I tried making one. I must admit, I do like how it came out, I will keep it for sure. I will keep an eye out for a man in blue tie dye in Chiang Mai 🤣. Thank you

[@beverlyweber4122]

Wow! I am total tie-dye fanatic! I literally wore tie-dye as my UNIFORM when I was in Thailand. Kept it simple, but one in six different colors. Came back and did the same with several t-shirts myself. Cool!

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Nice one Beverly, I had a couple shirts back in the day, but this was the first time I’ve ever seen it getting made. It was great, really enjoyed the day. Thanks

[@_Alfa.Bravo_]

Cool shirt. Thanks for supporting local handcrafthip

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Cheers 🥂. No need for thanks, it’s normal daily life. 👍

[@antruok4950]

The shirt turned out a treat mate - Chelsea colours 🤣 - the canyons history & those photos were cool . something different - nice work WW 👍👋😎🙏

[@WalkAboutWayne]

The shirt is a Bobby D mate, it's growing on me. Not sure if I'll wear it but it was good to see how it's all done. Cheers Ant.

[@jackoneil3933]

The Tie-Die place was a fun and affordable tourist destination. Perhaps from the point of view of someone yourself who lives there it's all a bit of a re-hash, but for us who've been away a long time it's fun to watch and reminisce about better times and places and enjoy you suffering through it. And for those who've not yet been it's fun as well. I'm with you on the Farang gouging. However, knowing something about Thais, and from what I recall, most take pride in their country and sharing it with visitors, and I give a lot of the not so perfect tourist locales a an ok, as that a lot of places may not be getting rich or even breaking even and giving it their best. And that's more than I can say for a lot of places, like my city; until a few years ago was one of the most 'visitable' cities in the U.S., now known as one of America's most unfriendly, depressed, dangerous and top places to stay away from, and by comparison, I give Thailand two big thumbs-up and you Wayne two big thumbs-up for showing us that.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Some great points in your comment Jack. You're right about it's fun for other people that are not in Thailand. Sometimes I have to think to myself that not everyone is in my shoes here. Thanks mate.

[@drewberry5084]

Blue is the colour for Phrae.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Someone did mention that , not sure if it was you Drew, on my last video.

[@_Alfa.Bravo_]

... and of Nong Khai

[@Deadfoot-Dan]

I like the tie-dye shirt, I'd wear that, the ones I dont like are the ones with 5-6 different bright colors, yours was simple and I like those, find your inner hippie man before you get too old!

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yes Dan, I think I prefer just the blue one. I might wear it but probably not. Cheers mate.

[@KingBrew187]

That’s a good shirt there mate 👍🏼

[@WalkAboutWayne]

I must admit, it has grown on my, I might start wearing it. Cheers mate.

[@latebloomerabroad]

I like the shirt!

[@WalkAboutWayne]

I must admit, it's growing on me. I'll keep it.

I'll send it in the post 🤣

Thanks, it might make an appearance in the future.

Super video

Thanks Jennifer 🙏

@@WalkAboutWayne welcome

[@lyndiebright8508]

Made some for a craft project in summer and you made one with better color! I would go there to learn the patterns. Good one!

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Nice! This is the first I've ever tried making. I really enjoyed the process of seeing how its done. Thanks

[@davemassingham2096]

Awesome view mate .so soon you will be a clothing millionaire 😂

[@WalkAboutWayne]

This time next year, mate 🤣

[@robertburnett6348]

Wayne..."Side trip life" occasionally uses a drone. It adds a great dimension. And it might be fun for you. So do it! Damn it! Oh, sorry...i live in the U.S. Anyway , my bar girls uses it to track me down. Seriously, i don't think that I would have seen the real Thailand without them.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

No plans for a drone at this time mate 👍

[@robertburnett6348]

You old guys really grind my gears.

[@michaeltakayama8415]

I look at the double pricing as a discount for locals, not as a tax on farangs. And, farangs carrying various forms of Thai ID are usually given the discounted price. Discounts for residents/locals are not at all uncommon at tourist attractions here in the US, and I've seen the same sort of thing in other Western countries. Nice T-shirt, mate - if you do not want to wear it yourself, you can always give it to your next gf! :)

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Driving license didn't work here mate, I tried it 🤣. Some places it works, some it don't. I dont agree with any dual pricing, in any country. (mine included) Not sure what I'll do with the T shirt mate, I've still got it up till now 🤣.

[@michaeltakayama8415]

@@WalkAboutWayne Yeah, a DL is going to be hit-or-miss, since, in Thailand, it is not a form of resident ID. You would have better luck with a student ID, or taxpayer ID. Keep in mind that the reason for dual pricing at tourist venues is different than the reason for dual pricing at shops. Many/most tourist venues (public & private) operate at best break-even - more often at a loss - during off-peak seasons. Dual pricing is used to encourage locals to visit, esp. during periods when tourist numbers are low. This helps the operaors to keep the venue open, cover the ongoing maintenance costs, and, most importantly, continue to employ their permanent staff. It is about economics, not a skin tax. There is also a fair argument that public venues, run by the government, are funded in part by taxpayers, who therefore deserve a discount vs. visitors who do not pay taxes. With regards to private shops & services, however, most of that dual pricing is indeed price-gouging, based upon a perceived difference in what foreigners can afford to pay. I have mixed feelings about this sort of dual pricing, because a lot of luxury & brand-name goods - often made in the same factories as generic goods - are sold under the same premise of charging more for the same item, just because someone with deeper pockets is willing to pay the extra price. Ah, well, the world is what it is. We just gotta live in it, right? :) I do like the shirt, but I also would not likely wear it in public. Maybe hang it on the wall?

[@Harrylark]

Haha love the English Thai accent Wayne. That's what I do.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

🤣🤣 Built in to all English travellers 🤣. You can’t stop it 🤣

[@vs123]

Beautiful countryside

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yes, Phrae is a nice area 👍

[@stevens8785]

Good one Wayne. Cheers buddy. Yes I remember those T-Shirts back in the day. Actually made one myself. Cheers re going to the canyon and probably worth the effort and not expensive but yes I totally agree that there should not be a tiered charging system, also one of my pet hates, free for Thai and charge for farang PLUS one for Lucille - WTF!! . In that last part of the museum they didn't even provide an explanation of each item in English, just Thai. If they are going to charge Farang then they need to get that right and provide an English translation at least. A bit rude I reckon. Really good video buddy. Cheers 🍻🤩

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yeah it’s wasn’t the best place but worth going mate. I’m not a fan of dual pricing, it makes me feel like an alien. The tie dye place was the highlight of the day for me, great place. Cheers mate

[@robbied9313]

Maybe you'll take another trip to Pai! cheers!

[@WalkAboutWayne]

No plans for Pai mate, it will be overrun with people now as well. I won't rule it out though, I could end up in Pai again at some point. Not top of my list anymore though. Cheers mate

[@drewberry5084]

I agree with you Wayne. Double Thai price is fair anymore taking the P***

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yes mate, It's not something I agree with anywhere.

[@EarthCamper]

I buy one size bigger because the tshirts tend to shrink 😊

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Opposite for me, I buy fitted and stretch a little.

[@bobwelo]

[@loganc7724]

Bobby Dazzler t-shirt....I won't let it go lol hope you're doing well.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

I'm all good thanks mate. Bobby Dazzler!

[@SteveSmith-zz4ih]

good video, You Just need a Pair of matching Undies, that will get the Ladies giggling.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Tie-dye undies, now that would be cool.

[@alias_EP]

Only in blue?

[@WalkAboutWayne]

I do believe blue is the color of the town, it has some meaning.

[@davidkelly-cl4mj]

Aww mate the Thai dye shirt is Mint bro, you should wear that down the Shed of Shame in Chiangmai bro you'll be a hit with the Lady's there. Yeah the price gouging is a thing an probably pisses you off even more cause you live there but you're always gunna be The Farang eh. Just the way it is man an you can't change it so.... Cheers mate stay safe bro stay safe

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Just the way it is buddy 👍. I might wear the tie dye out one night. I’ll look a right Bobby Dazzler 💎. Thanks mate

[@davidkelly-cl4mj]

@WalkAboutWayne get down Loykroy Rd mate that shirt will get ya a lumber for sure

[@robertburnett6348]

Wayne..."Side trip liv

[@WalkAboutWayne]

???

[@robinlowerson565]

The 90s.....more like the 70s! Go with the bigger size that way you'll look slimmer & younger.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Tie dye made a come back in the 90s 👍. Nah, to big makes me look unwell. 👍

[@TribalFusion]

The dual pricing is just to let you know that you'll never be a Thai citizen, "non immigrant". It's the downside of Thailand, visas and not being able to get citizenship (very very hard).

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yeah, I think there's other ways they could get money from the dual pricing. This way just seems from the dark ages. I'd rather pay a bigger fee to enter Thailand than the feeling of dual pricing.

[@ColinC33]

We start a company you became head designer and tie dye operator. Than you bang them on to me and I will sell them at the fullmoon party they love that sort gear and elephant pants could be another line. ThaiDye with Wayne has a ring to it lol....Why dont you present your driving licence or pink ID card if you have one I never pay foreigner prices. But I have a angry looking Thai wife so maybe that helps.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

That could be a new business idea mate 🤣. I always try my license , I showed it here, didn’t work. Infact it’s being accepted less and less in places these days. Cheers 👍

[@Duncanup2]

Your decision but I've lived in Thailand 20 years no way will I pay farang price I let my family go I stay outside my choice

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yeah I don't agree with it buddy, I'm never happy about it. It makes me feel like an alien. I know it happens in other countries, I dont agree with it anywhere full stop.

[@_Alfa.Bravo_]

@Duncanup2 ... average Thai income is only 350,- USD $ ... so they need discount and that is what it is. You want to compair your income with theirs ??? Jelalous jellyfish

[@robertburnett6348]

But very overpriced beer and girls. Ok? ..
