So what do you think about the temple? Honestly, I don't think it's different than any popular tourist attraction these days as far as being overcrowded. Just wasn't expecting it here. Edit: I have a habit of saving Mercury instead of Mercy. If you picked that up in the video I'm sorry 🙏🏿

[@oliverheeb1312]

It is an amazing place. you should visit it when the sun is down, then its just a little bit more amazing 🙂

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Haha thanks for the shout out 😂 but it’s been amazing watching yall travel around Thailand. I would love to try some of that food from the night market.

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thai food is where it's at. We've gone to different countries now and still fall back on Thai dishes when we don't know what to eat

[@Siris74]

Just wanted to say thank you for creating such entertaining and educational travel videos! You guys have some of the best produced videos on KZbin and it's always a treat to see where you end up! Out of curiosity, what video editing software do you use? Cheers from Canada!!!

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thanks so much! We have a lot of videos to catch up on, but we use Davinci Resolve for editing.

[@Sa33d215]

Chang Rai is amazing the blue temple is the most amazing temple I have seen in Thailand. If you visit Philly please visit Colanzi's Cafe in South Philly they have amazing brick oven pizza probably the best on the east coast in my opinion.

[@TheDetourDuo]

We'll have to check that out! We went to philly 2 years ago it feels like now but we couldn't make it to South Philly. Last time

[@Sa33d215]

@@TheDetourDuo Please let me know the next time you are in Philly or Thailand I will certainly make sure you and your stomachs are taken care of. Best of luck on your channel. I wish you the best.

[@TheDetourDuo]

We'll be in Thailand again sometime in March/April. We want to make sure we're there for Songkran. Most likely we'll be in the south but we may go to Bangkok to celebrate Songkran

การตัดต่อดีเยี่ยม..นำเสนอดีเลย ทำต่อไปแล้วจะดีขึ้น

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you. We're trying. Can only improve little by little each video 🙏🏿

[@วิวัฒน์เล่าวิริยะธนชัย]

We love y'all! where are y'all from?

[@TheDetourDuo]

All over really. Lol. Currently wherever our bags are but Sara is originally from Washington and I'm from Maryland. We spent the past couple years living in Florida and Virginia

[@Немногоовечном]

Goddess of MERCURY????? Yeh....Typical American... Very knowledgeable...

[@TheDetourDuo]

In the first 5 seconds of the video the text reads Mercy. We say mercy multiple times minus the slip. It was obviously a mistake. One to which if you read the description or the pinned comment on this video would have known was already addressed before I even made the video public. Americans, like everyone else can make mistakes. Typical right? Thanks for watching though 🙏🏾

[@scholaepalatinae4988]

Chill, mis-remembering things isn't that bad.

[@TheDetourDuo]

@@scholaepalatinae4988 Thank you for being understanding 🙏🏿

[@GoForLaunchVideos]

Definitely agree about the White Temple! Awesome video guys 👍

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thanks! Yeah I mean it's a gorgeous structure, really amazing actually. But I dare say it feels slightly like a theme park.

[@howmuchgolf]

น้ำตกคือที่สุด ผมไม่ได้กลับไปที่นั่นนานมากแล้ว แล้วผมจะกลับไป

[@TheDetourDuo]

That waterfall is epic! best one we've seen so far in Thailand

[@znba8823]

สวัสดีครับขอให้สนุกกับการท่องเที่ยวประเทศไทยครับ Hello, I hope you enjoy traveling in Thailand.

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you! Yes, we love it. ขอบคุณ! ใช่ เรารักมัน!

[@levingstonlewis5270]

15:00 that was epic!

[@TheDetourDuo]

Best waterfall I've ever seen!
