Something about this guy that makes him feel like a friend you have known for 10years even if I don't even know him lol

Just left Thailand as a person of color from the states and can't tell you how much I second Jabril's sentiments on not feeling judged or biased in Thailand. It was a very fresh breath of air compared to some places I travel here in the states and get strange looks for just walking around. Mostly smiles and positive greetings in Thailand. Definitely suggest it as a great place to travel for all.

Jubril, another good video. I retired here in Thailand. I've been to Chang Mai, but I live in Khon Kaen, and Chang Mai is my favorite city. Everything you're saying in this video is true! Folks, don't sit there thinking about moving, just DO it. You have ONE life, take advantage of it. Thailand is a great place to live and retire. As for your visa. Go to the embassy/consulate at home and get a 60 day visa. You'll be good for 60 days and can extend once you're here in Thailand. There is a multiple entry visa, as well. Honestly, doing the "visa run" to other countries is one of the things I love about living here. Bali, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Laos, are just some of the countries you can "run" to. All those places people dream of going to while sitting at home, are EASILY accessible. The best part? Flights over here are CHEAP! Make that move and safe travels!

I've been following this brotha for years.. And I've even taken up a few of his suggestions.. I've been to Thai and Colombia following his videos and had N amazing time.

You have done a very good job. After 18 years living in Thailand (mostly Chiang Mai) probably the best I have seen. A nice balance of respect for Thais and their culture and accurate, up to date information, thanks.

thank you for the black part, man's needed to know

I would like to thank you for the positive reviews of my country. I have seen all of your videos about Thailand. I'm so glad you had a very good time there. We, Thai people, always welcome tourists from all over the world.

From another native Chicagoan (ws)...so proud of you. Just subbed your channel. Thank you for reaching outside the boundaries and sharing your experiences. This world is a much bigger place than some can even imagine. The world outside of mag mile and north LSD includes diverse and beautiful cultures, which is hard for some to contemplate (or for others to even acknowledge). You get off the red line at 95th or the green line at Austin and it's hard to see that truth.

First things first, I've checked about 6-7 different videos on Thailand and you by far are the most informative, down to earth real life, authentic advice, that you could even give your homeboy on a everyday basis. Thnak you for this. I'm visiting Thailand for a month with my girlfriend and my Muay Thai coach and his wife. Granted, my girlfriend is Spanish my coach and his wife are both white, and me. I'm black. So hearing you say how its okay in thailand being of color and how you had no issues and saw other brothers around. Def made me feel a lot better about my situation. Thanks homie def appreciate it. If you could do more videos like this on other major cities in thailand that would be dope and much appreciated.

Man, I love this guys attitude and passion for traveling and meeting new people and exploring exotic places. He is genuinely living his dreams, not rotting away day after day in an office wishing for such things like most of us...

...The best Chiang Mai video I have seen in a long long time...Thanks

Thank for the video! My wife and I are going for our 10 year anniversary.

Ayeeee amazing production boys. Maybe the best Chiang Mai vid ever. Props for clipping me in as well 👌😎 Just posted our Chiangmai Nightlife vid btw💯👌💃🏽

I have li!ved in Thailand for 2 years....This is the most straight forward video i have seen so far,,,,congrats!

Great video! Love how you guys choose to get into the subjects that most people really are wondering about before they go, instead of just bragging about how cool your life is like many other digital nomads! Keep it up!

Chiang Mai was my favorite Thai city! Can't wait to go back

Jubril, your video is without a doubt second to none. I love the fact in each of you are wearing Arsenal Shirt & i am big fan of the gunners. Keep up posting & count me a big fan

Just got back last week...Thailand was easily the best place I ever visited! Temples, beaches, kind people, food, culture, value, etc

I'm thai and i can say that this guy really know a lot. Very good guide for anyone who want to come here on Thailand.

This video was very helpful I'm a Black woman traveling to Chiang Mai in a few weeks. Thanks for sharing.

It's always entertaining to see very knowledgeable Americans discovering the outside world and learning that people in developing countries are just normal folks that are working, studying and breathing just like human begins.. What a discovery! But if you end up paying 350$ a week for an apartment in Chiang Mai, I can guarantee that you will always be welcome in the Land of Smiles ;-)

You're pretty laid back, dude! Glad you got it going on. I am going to visit Chiang Mai and Bangkok in April 2020.

GrabTaxi!! There are more of them than there are Ubers and it's usually cheaper. The app works all over SE Asia, they're a Singapore based company.

Things I’ve learned while traveling Africa is life (all countries) Korean food is best And Thai people are the kindest friendliest people I have ever met

I just discovered your video´s by accident, and man I got to tell ya I´m hooked. I love what you do and how you are educating people about traveling. I am a brother living and working in Munich Germany, and I have traveled to many of the places that you have visited already, I can only say that you and your video´s are spot on. If you ever make it this way reach out and give a brother a Hollar ! We can compare notes :-)

best video I've seen of yours so far IMHO. lit! great footage, editing and commentary.

videos getting better and better loved the format keep up the good work

Great video, nice advises! But: 1. A US driver license is valid in Thailand (only US, rest of the world need international license), but you need to have a motorcycle license to drive a motorcycle in Thailand. Ive been stopped many times in Thailand like you said, but I easily got out with no fines, and even got sent to the police stations in Pattaya and Chiang Mai, but in less than a minute I got friendly with the police chiefs and left with a smile :) 2. The rent prices you mentioned are valid for Bangkok, but are a bit expansive in Chiang Mai, a nice 2 bed apartment should cost around 15000 Baht a month, but with a yearly lease (sometimes 6 months). 3. I hope you tour outside of Chiang Mai with the heavy motorcycle, northern Thailand is a the most beautiful place on earth! I met tourist who rented a heavy motorcycle and never left Chiang Mai.

Very inspired by this video! This is the life I want to live. To escape my mundane daily tasks of work and bills.. I want to travel and feel alive, learn new cultures and meet new people! Thank you for making this video I'm ready to travel the world and indulge myself in an ocean of opportunities. The sky's the limit!!!

Nice one man, very valuable information you're sharing. I was in Chang Mai for a couple weeks and did it on the super cheap. $5 per night for a three star hotel room, $1 dinners, etc. Also did a jungle trek and rode on an elephant's head through the rainforest visiting tribes. Maybe you should cover one of those, very enriching experience...

Would've love to see a more indepth video about what are "Must Dos" in Chiang Mai. Thanks!

I lived at DCondo Creek in Phuket for a year brother! $290 a month, fully furnished!!! Best of luck!!!

I enjoyed your video. Uplifting, inspirational, motivational. You're living your dream. Good for you !

If you drive or walk around, look cheap, and learn enough Thai to say, Do you have a room? (Mee hawng wang mai?), can I see it (Doo hawng dai mai?), two rooms (song hawng?) and "How about ten thousand baht?" (Dai baht sip pan, krup? - or whatever) you instantly look like not a rube. Prices for such people can be very, very good.

You make me touched. Support from Thai gal.

one of the best chiang mai videos out there..

Thanks a lot for this video. I teach English in China. I want to take a few months off to just focus on writing and was considering doing it in Chicago or Chiang Mai but your videos have really sealed the deal for me. I'm thailand bound soon.

I have been thinking of moving to Chiang Mai and you are a huge help in giving me tips and a real feel.Thanks and great job.

Self confident and humble at the same time. Good combo

Im Thai and I can tell you that you really know thai ! good to know that someone really understand our culture and our woman :)

Glad this showed up on my feed! I was actually really considering moving to Thailand sometime early next year and after seeing this and you showing theres ACTUAL barbershops, great wifi, food, and TINDER is popping haha, plus that apartment was legit as hell for that price, I wouldn't work Id live off my VA disability checks, I'll be 33 soon so thats cool with me.. Counting down the days now!

As a Thai, I seriously like your advice on Thai people and culture. Thank you. 💗

Yo this is like the realest and best advice you can give to someone wanting to go to Thailand! I greatly appreciate you educating other people on it. I am Thai (living in the US) and visit Thailand often. I always get asked for advice, so I'll definitely forward this video on to some of those folks :)

Bro this was great. I'm 31 from Toronto and I work in China at the moment. I'll be visiting Thailand this year solo. Thanks for the pointers. That Air BnB looks sweet. I can't wait to see Thailand.

I have been to Thailand many times. Still, I thought this video was great. It made me smile and think about the future when travel will again be possible. Nice job!

Awesome video, you had some real good points. You hit all of the main culture points, maybe add something about clothing on your next video. I notice a lot of foreigners come here and don't know how they should dress when going to Temples or just walking down the streets. Like you should never go shirtless or wear tank tops in temples. I am a new subscriber and I love your videos.

my bro ur my inspiration ,i like how respectful you come off . i will be doing what u doing in the near future

Thanks for posting your experience in Thailand. Great personality. Make it a great day.

This is an excellent video about travel Jubril! I hate the name because it steals my thunder, but that doesn't take away from the excellent quality.

Bro, me and my Thai honey/fiance are here. I been here over one year now. man, it's great! We emailed each other a few times to include before I moved here!

Awesome video! I'm thai but I like your video. Really got information that tourists needed.

Even though I'm an admitted Chiang Mai Hater, this was a damn good video with some accurate insights to not only CM, but Thai culture and life. Well done.

I'm going to visit Chiang Mai and Medellin because of your videos. Thanks for all the helpful info.

I remember your videos from back in the day- you have stepped up your game! awesome!

Excellent video, content and quality etc. Also like the balance of it and never disrespectful. You gave the natives their props in a fear and balance way. Great Job, I'm now a subscriber

respect is the one that come frist in your topics that mean something sweet respected and love from thailand wellcome to thailand everyone

Most of the time, if you have a foreign driver's license, they will let you pass the roadblocks! An International Drivers License may be required by law but it's really just a tourist tax even though some locals get caught in the snare. Love the vids! Very helpful :)

Great video. I can't wait to get back I miss Thailand and Piyanuch so much. Be Well.

I appreciate all the thoughtful info you have provided in this, and the shots and time I know you spent editing! Just starting out here on KZfaq myself. Look forward to move videos from you, thanks

Thailand is life ! Thailand is the best country of earth.

It's just Thai mate, not Thailandese. I'm not dissing you, just trying to educate so your' time in Thailand can be even better. Great video!

Best guide I've seen so far on Chiang Mai. Awesome job, man! Thanks for the knowledge.

I love the way you´re always talking about to respect the culture and people ... and really focus on the mean thing there.

Thank you for giving a very truthful information about our culture value that many people who comes to Thailand really need to learn and respect that. This is very good production video and educational. I'm thai and I'm very proud of someone like you represent our value and culture and speak for all the Thai girls. 🙏🏼

As Always a ton of great info! I have been watching since you did your first Chiang Mai video and always love the energy that you have. Keep Succeeding!!

u put it straight with no hype ! great work, awesome ....

Great video Jubril and rest of Passport Heavy crew! Nice, informative and a balanced presentation of Thai life and respect for culture. Keep up the good work!

Very smart use of partnerships, thank you so much for the excellent content and descriptions of the area. Now this would be the best travel channel because it answers the questions that I would want to have answered long before I traveled. You and your team are doing awesome work. It's an inspiration

Jubril, I love your videocasts and I did subscribe to your channel. It's definitely inspired me to do travel videos for black people in the 50+ age group. Haven't seen to many here on YT yet. Love the Medellin, Columbia video - can't wait to go. Keep doing what your doing.

I lived in Chiang Mai 2017-18. Had a new modern 1 bedroom with great pool and fitness center for 12,000 baht a month ($360US). His apartment was very high end.

Great video guide! I'm impressed! Looking forward to seeing these places! I'm a world travel addict so getting more information about far away places really helps plan my future trips.

I love this man. So clear. Explains so much stuff in one video! Music is a litttttleeee loud though! What do you do online? :)

This is the second video I've seen that I've liked. Subscribed! cheers!

What you should have added is a lesson I learned the tuk tuk is fun but... If you take a Tuk Tuk 5 meters or 1 Km it is 150 BHT if you take a taxi in Bangkok or in Chiang Mai is far cheaper what the locals call a "'taxi meter" or as my Thai wife says taxi meet :-)

Good video bro! I was in Thailand about a year ago for a month, but never made it up to Chiang Mai. It looks like a pretty chill spot.

Very cool! Love the video and gonna checkout more! Never been to Thailand yet but spend a lot of time in the Philippines, which has become my second home. You gotta new fan here! 👊🏾😎

Great video and big ups on the Arsenal jersey

your videos are informative. you always covers the key points.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Decided to fly up to Chiang Mai (from Bangkok) on a whim because I always wanted to visit. Your words are spot on. I've been shown nothing but LOVE! I was wondering about a cut and renting a motorbike. Uber has been great. 1BR condo.. super affordable. Digital Nomads, huh? Thanks Thailand. Thanks passportheavy!

Great post bro love the passion you had on this video you explain everything really good, mush respect to you bro on what you been doing. You inspire me to keep going harder at traveling and making a living online. Hopefully we can link up somewhere across the world so you can teach me some of your great skills of making money online. I would prefer to learn from Mr think outside the box himself. You put the nail in the coffin after recommending that barbershop, I had a pretty rough time with getting a hair cut my three months in Asia. I'm about to take traveling full time like you working on being a better blogger and vloger your videos are really amazing and inspiring. bless up bro ✊🏿

Awesome video Jubril, thanks for breaking it down!

I'm definitely looking forward to attending the nomad summit one of these days

Welcome to Thailand , thank you very much to travel in my country. We hope you will happy to this trip.

I love that you said you should respect women, and that black ppl can feel safe and just normal. Watching American news just hurts my heart often but it makes me grateful to be living in Canada.

I love your videos brother,peace and keep them coming

Imagery and narrative flow is on point!

Yeez - yesterday I saw the video about Medellin and wanted to complain that there aren't more videos - now this :)) great!

I just subscribed and your getting me pumped about traveling. I have to catch up but I'm looking foward to you new vlogs.

Awesome and informative man. Great job on this one! I seem to roll into the best cities thanks to you. I'm in love with Medellin after my first visit and after a trip to Chiang Mai last year for Songkran, I only look forward to going back and spending more time there. Keep up the great work, the awesome travels, and next time you fly into LAX, if I'm working, I'll hit you up sooner than the last time.

awesome video!

I'm newly subscribed and loving all the videos I've viewed. Keep them coming.

Chocolate man! Love this man please do a part two! Bro u need to drop more content love this channel !

This is one of the most informative videos I've seen on Thailand. May I ask if tipping is appropriate at sit down restaurants? I'd love to see more videos like this with the awesome details. Glad we found you :)

Love the positivity. I'll be out in Chiang Mai in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the video!

thanks for making the other travelers know about the local rules and culture that can make them easier to enjoy while they come to Chiang Mai. From the local people.

Ayeeoo... Outstanding vid! Definitely subscribing... keep em coming bruh great info!
