[@billmoeller8897]

Glad you finally made it to Pai & your parents got to see it too. I am the guy that thanked you for getting me through covid with your videos while being stuck in the USA for almost 3 years. I was on the motorcycle at the Mae Hia Market as you were just trying to leave. Thanks again & great video !

[@RetiredWorkingForYou]

That is awesome!

I second that Bill, Chris kept us connected until we could come back last year ! Thank you Chris !

[@wannyfairy7993]

Once upon a time when my children were small (they are all adults now) they used to run free through pai. It was such a beautiful time in our lives. It's such a special place.

[@spizzenergi2292]

Personally I’ve never had a problem with dual pricing. I lived in York, North Yorkshire, and if you were a resident you could apply for a York card that got you into most museums free

I saw a picture of a Thai monk inside the pagoda who passed away many years ago! He’s one of Thai peoples’ favorite monks, and his name is Loung Porh Koon!🙏🙏🙏 He will always be missed and respected by Thai people, including me! Thanks for your beautiful video!🙏

[@paulietv9713]

Really nice to know foreigners love to visit and live in Thailand as their home. I am a Thai person who live in Australia for 12 years and I am going back my home country in end of March for celebrations Thai New Year. Your video are amazing. Your English accent is easy to understand for Thai people. Keep doing your amazing job see you in Thailand and always welcome to our sweet home.

So nice

[@montan7703]

Thank you for such awesome clip, so glad that you chose to stay at Utopai and hoping to host you all again. The creek area will only get better, we are working hard on it!

This is an amazing 👏 part of Thailand 🇹🇭... The Smokin' Hot Springs are amazing 👏. The bamboo walk, amazing, too. That scenery in general is the best of all of Thailand 🇹🇭... This is an area I would believe in for investment, if foreigners were allowed to own land in Thailand 🇹🇭 ❗️

[@man4YAWEH454]

Chris, You have a knack, rare talent for this vlogging, narrating. What a beautiful country and setting for Utopai AIRBNB. I would agree with you Chris, about chilling by the creek absolutely serene and lush. Your Dad's dinner looked scrumptious and Haley's banana dessert looked devine. I can see where you got your coloful and friendly personality from. Your mom seems like a hoot. God bless and ty for sharing your family and travels.

[@Mozzermarr10]

Pai is a lovely spot. Spent New Years about years ago there. Found a craft beer bar on the main street and drank there all day, then found a fantastic stall that sold proper ribs. All these places that you've shown are really cool and people should for sure visit them. Pro tip, DO NOT come from Mae Hong Song, as that windy road is beyond brutal.

[@futsuper9013]

Yes, I recommend coming to Chiang Mai, the way is more comfortable.

[@thai_curry]

I was in Pai for the first time 1987. I loved it. Nearly no tourists.. Pure Thailand. The scenery is of course still wonderful, but otherwise it looks like every crowded tourist Hotspot in the world.

[@fromthedriversseat6167]

We were in Pai the same time you were. I thought I saw you racing through the walking street 55555. It happens to be one of our favorite places as well. Attendance there once per year is mandatory. Thanks for the videos. Keep up the good work

Great video on Pai. One of my favorite stays in Thailand. it's a beautiful place. The only drawback for me is the "spring break" atmosphere on walking street and the smell of ganja throughout the area. But, I'll definitely be back.

Pai looks beautiful. I spend a lot of time in N. Thailand. I can’t complain about ‘farang pricing’. In the US, my local park charges a higher fee for out-of-county residents. 100 bhat for that beautiful hot spring: bargain. And you got my absolute favorite dish moo sahp paht grapao Kai Dow. (However it’s spelled} YT-ers keep saying Pai is hippie. It is more yuppie and hipster and retiree baby boomer. That’s all fine. I’m in one of those categories and I’ll plan to visit this year when I go back to Thailand. Thanks for a video with a lot of variety that gives a range of sites.
