Taking a Guy TERRIFIED of Heights to Thailand’s Most Breathtaking Mountain Temple!

[@petercarlisle8587]

Phu Tok is a great visit. Legs were wobbly immediately afterwards and very sore for days.

[@karlsthailand]

Yes. It’s my favourite single location in Thailand Peter. Cheers

[@KieranWxm]

Well done to Nigel for facing his fear of heights. Amazing views. Even on the video those steps look steep!

[@karlsthailand]

Yes, visiting those places was something he told me he wanted to do. Cheers

[@_Alfa.Bravo_]

Please paint the whales some nice almond eyes next time !!! Thanks for the upload !!! Happy Sunday all !!!

[@karlsthailand]

Good idea!! Lol. Cheers

[@NickyDunn]

Hiya Karl. Omg. Just watching made my knees go funny. LOL. I could not do it. Beautiful drone footage. His nervous laugh says it all. Nigel did amazing. Thanks for taking us along. Happy Monday.

[@karlsthailand]

My pleasure Nicky and respect to Nigel for facing up to his fears like that. Cheers.

[@FlywithOdin]

You really seem to love this place even more than we do. How many times have you been there already? Today, a second like plus a subscribed. 💗👍 Try to top this. 😁

[@karlsthailand]

For sure. I have been there more than 30 times already and will continue to visit it every opportunity I get. My first visit was 1991. Thanks for the sub. Cheers

[@FlywithOdin]

@karlsthailand You are very welcome. I went there once after seeing one of your videos. This means you are an influencer, really. 😁

[@karlsthailand]

It’s good to know that some people will actually visit these places because of me. Thank you

[@stinger192]

Yeah certainly an interesting experience those narrow sections especially

[@karlsthailand]

Nigel did brilliantly despite the dodgy bits. Cheers

[@hjb12]

I am also very scared walking around Phu Tok. I am not sure how far I can trust the construction.

[@karlsthailand]

I know what you mean. When you feel some of those floorboards wobble! Thanks

[@PaulWalliswriter]

Fair play to him for facing his fears! I was once afraid of lots of pretty girls, soon fixed that one :)

[@karlsthailand]

Indeed Paul, he actually really wanted to go there and yes, just throwing yourself in amongst what you fear is probably the best way of dealing with your fears 😂

[@nigelchnzl5355]

Excellent job mate That was a awesome trip mate 👍

[@karlsthailand]

Well done Nigel. You are the star of this video buddy. Cheers

[@quinnerefc]

Brilliant!!

[@karlsthailand]

Thank you

[@andrewhammond2699]

Climbing up is the easy part, but the big problem is coming back down again... Scary. Great video Karl.

[@karlsthailand]

Cheers Andrew

[@andrewhyland9212]

One of my favourite places that you’ve vlogged, this time was like a virtual tour having lived that experience through “Nervous Nigel”. I’m sure I would have been just like him. Nice weather this time. Thanks Karl.

[@karlsthailand]

It's my favourite place in Thailand Andrew, I never need much of an excuse to go there. Presenting it through the eyes of Nigel allowed me to throw new perspective on a place I have vlogged a number of times already.

[@jimflanagan6814]

Looks like something I would like to do. Great video once again Karl

[@karlsthailand]

Cheers Jim, hope you are well buddy.

[@reborntui]

So brave man.

[@karlsthailand]

Nigel did well didn’t he?

[@roygbiv6010]

That nervous laugh reminded me of Dreyfus in the Pink Panther movies. 😆

[@karlsthailand]

Those noises were all totally genuine lol. Cheers.

[@JBWanders73]

You should get a holiday home in that province mate! Love that place - always a pleasure watching , never a chore 🙏

[@karlsthailand]

It’s certainly one of my favourite Provinces Jimmy. Perhaps one I’m too old to vlog and hike I’ll become a monk and find myself a lofty perch at Wat Phu Tok and spend the rest of my days meditating 😉😂

[@MarkSantaCruz]

The parts where the rocks force you to lean towards the *hand rails* would do me! Good to see you back at your favourite place Karl..

[@karlsthailand]

Cheers Mark, it was great to get back there and present it via Nigel's eyes.

[@christophergale9438]

Hi Karl nice one again been to both places, we went to the three whales one time with the family including Mother in law in a wheelchair 555. Great views at both places and the Harry Potter broom photos .👍

[@karlsthailand]

You had the mother up there in a wheelchair lol? I'll resist from making a joke. Cheers

[@Glyn69]

Great content Karl , drone work and editing . Had a beer with Phil last night , we spoke about you. Well done, dodgy Nige and the wobbly legs. The tarantula would of freaked me out. Spiders are my phobia a bit like Nige and his height fear

[@karlsthailand]

Nice one Glyn. I’m at Le Pub right now as it happens. Cheers

[@31interact]

nigel wow well done mate - karl never fails to find a thousand steps haha great video guys

[@karlsthailand]

Glad you enjoyed it John. Nigel did great, cheers buddy

[@londoncabthailand4028]

Thank you both for the video excellent.

[@karlsthailand]

Thanks very much LCT

[@ThailandLifestyle]

You really seem to love this place even more than we do. How many times have you been there already? As always, a big like. Today from Bangkok. 💗👍

[@karlsthailand]

Yeah, when I’m too old to hike and vlog I’ll become a Buddhist monk and find a high perch and spend the rest of my days meditating there. 😉😂

@karlsthailand I think there are some alternatives. 😁

I may have this story all wrong. a female youTuber went to a monk retreat and initially the hardest part they made her give up her phone and camera. she disappeared never to be seen again. I've always wondered about that. monks must have to deal with their urges to merge. sad story.

Yes your Thai speaking is the best we have ever heard.

Its not for the faint-hearted. Lol. It's still on my to-do-list, the views are spectacular.

You know how I feel about the place Brian. We’ll have to visit it together some time. So much for us to vlog up there.

Hi Uncle Karl. Sweet adventure eh

It was a fun day. Cheers

This tempel and the rock really looks like a wholy place. Thanks for showing

Retired! Don't Give Up Awesome video Karl, new subscriber, I live in Phrae Province will definitely put Wat Phu Tok on my bucket list, just showed my wife and said we are going, and she is now questioning why she married me haha. Please thank Nigel for being the guinea pig for i am 5 pounds lighter although at least 30 years older

He's not that scared because watching on the tele gives me serious anxiety.

[@jke360]

Don’t look down!.😂

[@karlsthailand]

Didn’t he do well lol. Cheers

[@bangfi1865]

Well he coped with some trepidation but I wouldn't say he was terrorfied of heights. I've worked on multi story buildings installing windows @ occasionally in swing stage scaffold @ I've had guys who didn't show any fear of heights freeze up completely when things get dodgy. One man I worked with wouldn't let go of the handrail, making him completely useless. You never know.

[@karlsthailand]

Sure, "Terrified" is a strong word. Believe me there are plenty of situations where I wouldn't appreciate heights either. Nigel did well. Cheers

[@chermarl5955]

Oh It was a very adrenaline-draining trip.😅😂

[@karlsthailand]

It certainly was for Nigel lol. Cheers.

Farq That, i hate Heights with Gusto, above 70feet and i'm all wobbly, its a nightmare, Nigel did well, they say do parachuting to cure fear of heights, but i'm not jumping out of a lane that is going to land.

[@karlsthailand]

Nigel did great tbh, he'd told me he wanted to go there. Cheers

Id much rather risk death walking this than having an effing Tarantulas in my room 😂😂

Me too actually. Nigel had a tough few days lol

We can see very obviously, that you hoped so much, that the way you walk would change your weight ... 😂
