[@christinekobzeff]

Aww, you should definitely come again, it took us a little while to settle in but once we got the feel for it, it's such a cool place. We can't wait to fly south and check out the islands. First we're heading north to Pai and then down south. Woo hoo! xoxo

[@coilbliss]

Thank you both for sharing your traveling experience with all of us. This is really awesome.

[@saram0211]

the journey which you are making is incredible and unforgettable. i adore the way you approach the other cultures, the immense respect that you have as for example to look for a clothes adapted to the country by respect for the habitants.you are really people whom everybody would like to have as your BESTFRIEND! take care of you Christine and Michael!

[@lindakay1700]

Thank you Christi e and Michael for taking us all on vacation with you!!! My favorite thing on KZbin is to see a new video from you guys!! I get to live vicariously....won't be able to take a vaca myself this year :( I have always wanted to go to Asia....

[@luv2christina]

I am really enjoying these videos, thank you again for giving us this opportunity to take a glimpse. I have never traveled outside the USA.

[@melissacook9189]

Thank you, I look forward to being on vacation with you, you daily videos are great, and your hubby rocks! He deserves kudo points for going to 3-malls!! Hope you are having fun!!

[@KatAnne82]

I have been loving all your blogs so far from the trip! Looks like you two are having a blast!

[@janicestoodley936]

I am SO loving the videos of your travels!! Each day I get up & check your utube right away. Love the longer ones----very surprised how "modern" the shopping malls are! Soooo happy you are doing this for us :-)

[@samanthalakin-]

I've loved all of these videos so much christine, I feel like I'm actually there I appreciate you taking time out of your fun trip to film and edit these videos for your viewers :)

[@KateCful]

Thank you so much for taking the time to upload, I love it! Like the music you use to!

[@christinekobzeff]

Thanks girlie! It's been fantastic and we're less than two weeks into the trip, so much more to see! xoxo

[@roositje]

I really love your videos, I think it's really great you're taking us with you, so thanks!

[@MyLittlePinkCottage]

Loving these videos!! Thanks for sharing. I was so surprised at the malls and the selection. Cool.

[@Mibular]

Uni Qlo is great! I lived in NYC until recently and shopped there all the time for basics! Happy to live vicariously through your travels this summer, Christine and Michael. I've been taking care of an injury and will be tuning in! Having a great time through your vids!!

[@TheFlowerchild11]

I so look forward to your vlogs while on holiday!! It's like I am on a mini getaway. Enjoy and be safe.

[@crumpmeg]

I love all these travelling vlogs! It makes me so excited to go traveling in a few years after I've been to Uni :D

[@fairyphullie]

i love watching these vlogs, its nice to get a little insight to thailand from you perspective! :D

[@piyaratkenny6038]

Well,the weather is so warm all year round and because of the time&trend change, we,no matter male or female,are more comfortable to wear short...does not matter where you are,at the center of tourism area or elsewhere. But when we have to go to a temple, we have to definitely wear kind of traditionally conservative clothes. Some job types and some formal events also can have you to see Thai people with more polite/conservative clothes/costumes. Thanks for visiting and observing our country though.

[@gorditaangel]

I wanted to eat all those sweets yum! Thanks for letting us be part of your world!

[@themergen1]

You are asking about"covered up" clothing. The temperature outside is over 90°F more than 320 days a year. Covered up is not too often in this climate. The movie theaters in Thailand are high luxury at very good prices with the current movies

[@jackiepusung7723]

fantastic... we love your videos (me, my husband and my little dog) keep 'em coming, feels like we're on vacation too.... :)

[@JSSC858]

I love Thailand. Been there many times and you guys are making me wanna go back again! Practically all their shopping malls sell tank tops, shorts and mini skirts. It's SO common in Thailand. You guys should visit Ko Samui. It's an island paradise!

[@tnn531]

loving these videos! thanks for sharing your journey with us! p.s you and michael are the cutest couple ever.

[@christinekobzeff]

You got it! Thanks for watching! :)

[@Jo.lawler]

I'm surprised that all the shopping malls look exactly like Australian ones. Thank you so much for doing these videos, each one is amazing and entertaining. Safe travels till we see you again :)

[@estellacorbo9666]

Hi . I see you are having a wonderful time! Lovely videos! Those tigers were something else! My husband is watching along with me,something he never does! Thailand is very racy. I mean very, very. Lots of shorts, tank tops etc. Take care and God bless you both! I adore your videos! xoxo

[@jessiiiloooove]

This looks so fun! I hope you are having a great time!!!

[@kukishop]

I think I'd spend all my traveling budget on those beauty stores...lol Great to be traveling with you guys, thanks for the effort of filming and editing while you are traveling :)

[@sadiejosiemom]

I'm amazed at how "westernized" they are. So far we've seen Burger King and Starbucks and the malls for the most part, seemed to look like what we have here in the states! Keep the videos coming! I prefer to see your adventures off the beaten path!!

[@michellejans8]

I love all your videos from your travels !! Please do a haul video of anything that you do buy :)

[@darlenesmall694]

Love to see what other side of world is like.. I'm like you loved the shorts.

[@EcoholicBeauty]

When we were travelling through Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia I found that for the most part I could just wear whatever I wanted. I didn't cope with the heat well, so that typically meant tank tops, shorts, and short dresses. The only time I found it necessary to cover up was when we visited certain attractions, especially temples and other religious sites (here the dress code can be very strict, and sometimes just covering your shoulders with a scarf isn't good enough)

[@JSSC858]

Yes, we are thinking of visiting Thailand again this year. It is rather surprising that you guys were misinformed about Thailand. Except for places of worship, people are pretty much in tank tops all the time. The islands are gorgeous and the beaches are breath-takingly beautiful! Can't wait for you to post more videos! Cheers!

[@CheezyPies]

I'm very glad you are visiting my country! :) :) :) I'm Thai and now back in Thailand for summer break. I'll go back to the US in August. Enjoy your trip here!

[@heatherproctor7676]

I really enjoy watching your adventure be safe and have fun!!!!

[@LisaDeeCanada]

I just stumbled upon your channel. I'm really enjoying the shopping videos!

[@saffanat]

That's the first time I've ever heard someone say that they thought Thai people were all covered up. They have a massive red light district. Only muslim countries cover up and the few that I've been to, you could wear whatever you wanted anyway so long as you didn't mind some uncomfortable looks and unwanted attention.

[@Emakemeup]

Thanks for sharing! Those malls did have some cute and unique stores.

[@nadiad3963]

Awesome video Chrisine-keep them coming!!

[@mardiblow1550]

SE Asia was definitely more "North American" than I had expected when I went too - and that was 5 years ago! I'm sure it's even more so now! I bough a ton of great skinny jeans and hoodies at a massive mall in Bangkok right before flying back to Canada actually - sooo cheap and actually good quality. Hope you two are having an amazing time! If you need any ideas of places to go, or just advice for travelling there just ask! Love your videos and am so happy you and Michael fulfilled your dream!

[@WildDoveX]

Loved it - the music sounds like a TV mystery :-)

[@undomiel152003]

Loved the malls, my mouth watered at the sight of the sweets on some of those shops...and unbelievably, at the sight of the cosmetics/beauty stores!!! I would have done some serious damage at both...

[@andreeaandreea852]

Finally a long vlog. I love you both

[@jenGeeJushawshee]

The times I have been there, Christine, it was very much like US dressing in the summer (for Hawaii or Arizona), nothing was covered up extensively anywhere I went, an I did quite a bit of clothes shopping, or looking, rather... Lov you guys stay safe and good luck on the clothes!

[@cinsta8]

thank you both again for sharing your adventure. Its very enjoyable to watch. :-) love, Cindy

[@kathleengotsch4819]

Another wonderful video! Have fun!

[@barbr100]

Thank you, as always. I feel like I've actually been shopping in Thailand with you!

[@LisaAnnConley]

I had fun on the shopping trip. Cannot wait for our motorcycle ride...lol Lisa from Indiana

[@Linda_Mayoh]

Due to my health, it will be unlikely that I may never travel abroad. I've been loving your videos and sharing you adventures with us. I've noticed that you seem to like crocheted clothing items. I love to crochet and I would love to make something for you. It would be my gift to you as you gift us with your videos.

[@Haloskeeper1]

► I am loving these vlogs! Micheal sure has a sweet tooth! he seems like a foodie! Did you find cargo pants? You guys be safe... Cant wait for the next vlog ♥

[@christinekobzeff]

Yay! Huge love and hugs to you too!

[@christinekobzeff]

Yay, me too!! So yummy!! :)

[@dreamweaverp]

So cool! Are the cloths made smaller then in usa? I was laughing when i was watching the shopping malls because they remind me of plush malls in las vegas! good to know! Thanks for the video! I love following your trip!

[@century153]

I expected the dress to be very casual -- I've never been there but I think its probably hot and humid. You'll find very conservative dressing in middle east countries and Egypt. I am so happy to see your videos -- I look forward to watching. Be safe and enjoy your time there. God bless.

[@mixnmichael1]

Thanks for sharing enjoyed your videos. Makes me want to go back to Bangkok!

[@destineeher23]

I loved that dress!! lol much love hun

[@yobedisyab]

Really enjoying the videos, my husband is even watching! Let us know more prices of items please.

[@blondiemore]

Looks like your having a great time, When I was there, people cover up in the temples, and sacred places. In Vietnam they cover up more but that's because they don't want there skin tanned, they like the white skin. You will see when you travel each country. Thanks for sharing, so nice to see these videos and the travel. Enjoy cheers:)

[@deerorick2284]

If you want local clothes, go to the Kaad Luang (the main market) where northern clothes are sold. You can buy the fisherman's pants (good for yoga and lounge around), sarongs, and other stuff there. It's actually a good place to experience the 'Lanna' culture. Local malls are more for young people and also tourists. All and all, enjoy Chiang Mai! It's a nice friendly town!

[@sweetvietchic]

My husband grew up in Thailand for 30 years and he also told me I was mistaken when I thought girls there wore modest clothing! He said they wear little shorts and skirts just as we do over here! We got to that topic because he was showing me some pictures of his friends and school stuff back there and i was like whoa is she wearing short shorts?? lol! I'm not surprised you thought the same thing :)

[@herlatenightcravings]

Can't get enough of your videos!!! :-) Hope you got some of those tarts! :-) xoxo

[@houstonka]

Thank you for taking time to show us this videos. I really appreciate it. Do you miss Maui yet?

[@EcoholicBeauty]

Also, we found it sometimes to be difficult to find vegetarian food. Apparently if you request a "buddhist" meal in some places, you can easily get vegetarian.

[@evalinko]

these videos are great, thanks for sharing !

[@shereebirkhead2003]

Really enjoying watching your adventure in Thailand. I also thought the traditional women wore the sari type dresses

[@BarbieLovesLipstick]

Thanks again! Awesome for you to be there :)

[@Puffpuffaye]

those desserts look so CUTE ^__^ i'd be in heaven

[@MasterPinu]

Thx for sharing love this ,,,have fun

[@catcartier27]

Funny story about the sales people on their phones. I worked cosmetics retail here in the states for many years and we had to be in front of the counters and engaging customers, ALWAYS standing on marble floors. I went to Singapore and was shocked to see the salespeople in the cosmetics department sitting in CHAIRS ignoring customers. Different cultures are always interesting to discover and reflect upon! Have fun!

[@guitarrasara]

great video! when you're back from your trip i'd love to hear more about how you and michael coped with eating - was it hard to find vegetarian and vegan food most places?

[@paradis97]

Your husband looks like he's very interested and curious :) he must be fun to travel with!

[@MissILovePink1]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! :)

[@nssikin]

Its great to see you are having fun. Shorts n t-shirt are the norm in Asia, just b mindful if you are visiting any place of worship or anywhere further than the city centre. Just like anywhere in the world, there are some conservative people. Looking forward to your adventure vlog and always stay safe. 3 fm Singapore.

[@crossstitchbutton]

My ex hubby was Chinese he always said if you travel over their ways you'd get a culture shock, you look like your having fun just go with the flow on your out wear you will find if your breaking any clothes law they will stop and tell you to cover up.. have fun guys Xx

[@MsKimwiz]

Oh that was fun! I felt like I was there too!

[@pagemcnally]

How wonderful and what an experience! How long will you be here, this is awesome!

[@Kyrasable]

Haul comeing up anytime soon? im so curious about those makeup shops im sure you could find great goodies to try out! everything looks to cute im in love with little boutiques !

[@michele1218sbigfan]

I would love to go to Chiang Mai some day!!!! I would suggest wearing Long bottoms or capris in India... Most people aren't accustomed to showing skin there. Thanks again for showing us around!! :)

[@frankieli98]

The first mall is called Kad Suan Kaew, which is attached to a hotel. My favorite mall it is, for it has the most grand cinema, very casual, and easy to access. There is another "mall" which is a collection of small shops in an open area on the same street Huay Kaew road, which opens to the outdoor.

[@organized4ann]

Have you checked out Oriental Princess? They're at Big C in Chiang Mai. High quality cosmetics. Boots (same chain as in the UK, but not as many products) is at Central Airport.

[@EcoholicBeauty]

Also (sorry another comment) in Malaysia and Vietnam we found lots of vegetarian-friendly indian cuisine (there are a lot of immigrants from India in these countries). So it may not be technically 'local' cuisine but it was always delicious!

[@LoveSpaarkle]

Please do a haul from Thailand if you get anything! Plus I love watching your vlogs, I feel like I'm with you!

[@RMayA46]

Are you heading to Phuket at any point? love these videos so much!

[@NAngelaN]

Oh Christine, I love your travel vlogs, you should try tapioks "balls" out there it is so yammy :).

[@FromTheHourglass]

It is because you are near the tourist area(the city). If you go more into the country areas, you would definitely see traditional clothing.

[@tjgaters]

Thank you, neat stuff, I wanted some of those goodies!!! :)

[@lilbunnylily]

Beauty Buffet is my fav too :DD OH and Oriental Princess is fabulous also :))

[@jhyjfan]

If you happen to find an Etude House, check out their liquid eye liners. They're really great & easy to use (& they don't budge esp if you use their primer...it's similar to too face & urban decay)

[@melissaclark1805]

I was just wondering, is your MakeOut 2013 still going now that you're on vacation? I hope not! Seeing as though you wont have the opportunity to buy some of this stuff locally where you live, you should splurge! :) Thanks so much for doing these travel videos, they are so fun to watch

[@electricpeppers]

Brilliant video!

[@acajudi100]

Thank you for your videos! will be there soon

[@Zuzu-72]

I agreed with you Jacqueline. I am Malay from Malaysia. Although we are Muslim country, we are multi cultural and fashions are quite liberally in Malaysia. But it also depends on where you are in Malaysia. If you go to KL you will see the fashion is quite westernize. If you go to Trengganu they abit more conservative.

[@estellacorbo9666]

Hi, Forgot to tell you prices at airport malls are 4 times more expensive than regular malls. Check for outlet shops. Don't know about Asia but in Europe especially France is worth every inconvenience to go to outlets! I have bought $300 bed sheets at $40.00 sometimes less. Just wanted to let you know. Keep doing the videos, seems everyone likes them xoxo

[@greenighs]

Cargo pants rule! If you had some cargoes, tank, cafe racer jacket, and boots, you'd be unstoppable.

[@bekayezme]

Here in Maryland we call them carts or buggies. You and Michael seem to know where how how to get around. Have you been there before and if not how is it you don't look like tourist but fit right in?

[@MarinaMerelynn]

Thank You Christine i Love Love Love The Videos
