Sawadee Ka/Krub from Chiang Rai! 🇹🇭Where are you watching from?

[@AlenaBaska]

Hello Sam and Victor I'm watching from Phuket (Thailand)

[@SamandVictor]

@@AlenaBaskawoohooo! Thailand. Hopefully we go there one day 🎉

[@Laura-ph2uy]

Sawadee ka! I am watching from the Netherlands! the bright sunny weather from this vlog could not be a bigger contrast to the rainy gloomy weather we have here! 🥰 Thank you guys in advance for a greatly entertaining vlog!

[@WhereWeWnder]

We are watching from Trang, Thailand!

[@SamandVictor]

@@Laura-ph2uyawwww glad to hear that! Hope you get some sun soon 🎉

[@sirapopetanyapuch2654]

As a Thai person, you did an amazing job capturing the essence of Chiang Rai. Good job guys. Also a huge fan of your channel.

[@SamandVictor]

Thank you! That means a lot to us coming from a local!

[@eupsychics8167]

omg the small detail about the driver and the pottery studio owner reuniting is so heartwarmingggggg

[@SamandVictor]

He said it's been 20 years!

[@khunnai199]

คนเชียงรายยินดีต้อนรับ คุณถ่ายทอดจังหวัดเชียงรายได้ดีมาก ขอบคุณค่ะ❤❤

[@SamandVictor]

So happy to hear this coming from a local! Thank you :)

[@mauiheng]

The music for the elephants section made me tear a bit. Happy to see these elephants are well taken care of in their natural habitats.

[@ChiiBiiBoo]

Sorry but no, what would be really good is that people can’t touch them and they can run freely in a nature park 😢

[@mauiheng]

@@ChiiBiiBooyes that would be the most ideal. But compared to other places I seen, this is can be considered much better scenario already. They didn’t make the elephants carry humans or hit them with a rod to make them behave the way they want them to be. Their natural habitat are kept close to what would have been. They are rescued and kept safe from poachers. And this is good enough.

[@ChiiBiiBoo]

@@mauiheng True, it’s just when you say ‘natural habitat’ there should be no humans walking around touching them, that’s not natural… right

[@prettywoman8888]

Chiang Rai reminds me of the cave rescue some years ago. The village is such a beautiful place to visit. The resort is gorgeous and scenery breathtaking!

[@pako_nam]

Chiang Rai province is so relaxing and chill! The last time when I was there I rented a scooter and drove around, passing luscious green rice paddies, Buddhist temples and cute cafés. The nature and temple architecture are so unique there, love that you captured that in your video

[@kathrynwong3983]

You guys have inspired me to plan a visit to Chiang Rai ....love the elephant sanctuary and resort ... definitely a must go spot!

[@user-ch7li3ji4dd]

this video is so aesthetically pleasing! actually my first time learning about this place, and would love to visit it one day

[@siggisiggi21]

You definitely know how to capture moments and your choice in music makes it an enjoyable experience. Good job! ❤

[@SamandVictor]

Just posted the song playlist on our community!

[@mayo3865]

Chiangrai is so so dreamy, wanna visit soon.

[@ebola_xiii9350]

ช้างเป็นสัตว์ประจำชาติไทย ฉลาด ซื่อสัตย์ และแข็งแกร่งในยามขับขัน ผมชอบเพลง ช้วงที่อยู่ปลางช้างจัง ฟังแล้งสบายๆ ร่องรอยไปกับวีดีโอดีๆ ขอบคุณครับ

[@citygolfpop4139]

อยากเชิญชวนมาเที่ยวเชียงรายกันเยอะ ๆ ฤดูหนาวก็เย็น ๆ อากาศดีมาก

[@kattykattysoottasorn7059]

ชมคลิปแล้วอยากไปเที่ยวเชียงรายเลยค่ะ

[@ebola_xiii9350]

ผมไปแน่นอนครับ ธันวาคมนี้ ฝากเนื้อฝากตัวด้วยนะครับ ชาวเชียงราย

[@Hx3ney]

The tea pouring in that lighting with the glass 😮 so beautiful.. I could watch that on loop and just be hypnotized 🥰😊

[@anuradhabiswas8519]

Amazing video. Very engaging and poetic flow. Can't wait to see more of your travels. Chang Rai has developed a lot...kind of like Chiang Mai in early days.

[@adventureswiththekurks8602]

Wow so beautiful! Love the music you chose and that it's 5 days in one video! Awesome work! 😊

[@peterbutter2054]

You guys are so good at making videos, especially the muisc, perfect for each scene.

[@yuannahui]

Finally!! Not a fan of temples in Thailand (you need to do Angkor in Siem Reap and Borobudur in Yogyakarta) but enjoyed your video thoroughly. Some viewers may not know this. In the Mood for Love was filmed in Thailand for the retro vibe because rapid development in Hong Kong means old buildings are getting knocked off. Can’t wait to see what Sam and Victor will show us for the 200,000 followers milestone!!

[@SamandVictor]

Yes some parts of Thailand look more like HK than HK itself 😅

[@thepopuptraveler]

To be honest, I was just around Chiang Rai 3 days ago and you just made it really aesthetic! The music choice,the vibe, the sceneries are really beautiful! This is just a beautiful vlog!

[@wingkwong9876]

Thanks Sam and Victor, you guys did a very good job! Really enjoy it and I want to follow your itinerary and visit Chiang Rai! ❤️

[@leonieparsons]

That vlog was wonderful. Gosh, I missed your more frequent blogs while you were away. So good to see you both on the road again. Fantastic places you visited. That white temple was amazing. Thanks for this great long vlog - it was terrific.

[@Nilaratna]

I was waiting for this! And right off the bat, the opening shot made my jaw drop. Wowie!! 😲🤩 (Watching from Bangkok, by the way. So glad you came back to Thailand again so soon.)

[@Lunamartinz]

Wait, WHAT?!!!! This is AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS 💖 Thank you once again for an amazing vlog!

[@madelineduffin1352]

loved the tour of Chang Rai. I'm watching on Canada Day morning from Calgary, Alberta.

[@hildabrunski7400]

Simply amazing! You take us to the most beautiful places with your masterful vlogging!

[@nancychan1467]

What a beautiful place to visit. Loved your first hotel and the elephants, such gentle giants. Thanks again for another great video, and wonderful music ❤

[@iss_singha3197]

awesome!! ❤ Chiang Rai is my hometown. Some of the perspectives that you convey Makes me who was born here feel excited in a new perspective that I've never seen before... Thank you for choosing my hometown... May you all be very happy... Thank you.

[@24daerling]

I'm watching every vlog just like a TV show or short movie! Everything looks so pretty from Sam and Victor's perspective

[@SamandVictor]

Thank you!

[@Thunderstorm-1111]

Had so much fun watching this vlog! Thank u for ur efforts ☺️✨🧡

[@Clo-yaya_913]

Love your travel adventures soo much!! So much fun to watch and learn. I think it was especially kind the driver was also included in some of the activities ❤❤

[@elyse3884]

Wow- I love your vlogs- this trip was amazing. So many great spots to visit. The White Temple was unreal. The ground sculpture with the hands was so realistic and creepy Lol. I had to laugh regarding your description of the gold wash-temple. Haha. The color and details of the Blue Temple interior were just amazingly beautiful. You really captured the essence of Chiang rai- especially the Saturday market. 👏🏻👏🏻👍🩷💙

[@marcw1]

What a lovely movie, well done, I go to Chiang Rai every year and you really do it justice, lots of my favorite places and some new ones to go to next time I am there, thanks so much 👍♥

[@overcooked4189]

can‘t wait to watch your vlog. Happy to see you two again. Cheers! HK is so hot. Enjoy your holiday.

[@SHIBASANAKE_]

[@rambler5338]

Every frame looks like a beautiful painting; the filming quality is amazing!

[@RMINE]

Hi! I'm in Bangkok, but I also work in Chiang Rai. Chiang Rai has over 1,000 coffee shops, and the coffee is exported worldwide. Try the Akha ethnic food when you visit again. It's delicious and made with natural ingredients. Nice clip!

[@SamandVictor]

Soooo many I couldn’t go to all the ones I pinned on google maps! Yes definitely need to come back and try more food and cafes (of course)

[@shine6667]

after watching your video then I know that Chiang rai has so many cool cafes!

[@lizabetts9737]

Fabulous production as usual

[@annew.1]

You should check out Wata Khiri by Wang Put Tan tea plantation in Mae Salong. I would stay there for 3 nights on my second trip to Chiang Rai.

[@gingerthingx]

Makes me miss home 🥺 chiang rai looks wonderful!

[@texaslakebrokertt9639]

Excellent video, I always rate Chiang Rai as one of the best places to relax and not as noisy as in Chiang Mai.....Your style without much host talking is a great style of video story telling !

[@nilisko]

I already know this will be a pleasant time before watching the video 😌comfort channel thank you 🫶

[@Dublinby]

[@SamandVictor]

Glad you like it! And you’re early!

[@alana_reina]

I haven't been to Thailand since 2015 but I'll never forget the funny lost in translation phrases 😂 my favorite was a nail salon offering "pedicure and medicure" 🤣

[@invisible__design657]

Stunning

[@eetaeeta5699]

You add new list to visit another town in Thailand, so dreamy

[@user-qs5gt6ty6s]

Hi, I'm watching from the northeastern province of Korat (its official name is Nakhon Ratchasima). This is the 1st big city to which our first high-speed rail starting from Bangkok will go. The project is under construction and should complete before (too) long. Thank youfor featuring Chiang Rai so well. A lot more people should visit this place as well as it's just next door to the uber-popular Chiang Mai.

[@ma.luisacato3897]

Favorite vlog so far❤

[@SamandVictor]

Great caught your vlog in time - have been waiting all weekend. Thankfully visited a new coffee capsule shop and sipped the most amazing Mucho Berry coffee on rainy stormy Sunday from Momos Busan

[@SamandVictor]

Hope you enjoy it! Ooooh that sounds like a good cup of coffee 🫶🏻

[@tangt4860]

Gave away the details for you and Vic to try to get that coffee.

[@poupeeization]

If you come back chiang rai again, i recommend to go to Doi Chang , world-class coffee plantation area and a lot of coffee shop with panoramic view. Far from city about 1 hr.

[@earthsfave]
