There is an extreme difference between public filming in Thailand versus the U.S. or Canada. The Thai people in this video are so friendly and even want to be filmed! If that was in the U.S. you would have people ready to confront you and saying, "You don't have my permission to film me!" And they would be ready to fight..lol...Love Thai's!

Been to many countries backpacking. So many wonderful experiences just about everywhere. When I remember each one, I know it made life full and meaningful. Whatever you do in your life, don’t leave out visiting Thailand (it will enrich your life experience and change your outlook like very few places can). Thailand has my favorite food of anywhere in the world. Even those little portable restaurant carts have five star flavor & quality. People are friendly and generally not overly greedy.

Every time I go to Bangkok depending on the weather I just intentionally "get lost" at least one day on my trip. I will find an area I want to explore, go there on the BTS get off and just wander around for most of the day. I usually find some really amazing food and interesting locations. Also for people wanting to see parts of the city that are seldom visited I suggest going on a bike tour.

of course, he is celebrity here because he did a lot of good work to my country and city he's living in ... Chris can spot on something that we, Thai, might forgot and show us the beautiful side of our living. He started this right after the Covid when the world was turning back to us... the very first youtuber that made us back to tourist spot again. I wish Chris will not go back home because he's already home now.

Great job Uncle Chris! I'm so glad the Thai language challenge is sold out. Everyone who is enrolled you won't regret it. Chris, that's exactly how you use Thai; you just go out and speak what you know; who cares if it's perfect Thai because the most important lesson is to overcome the fear. Beautiful video. Beautiful reminder that the beauty of Bangkok is not in its golden temples or massage parlors, but in the smell of grilled fish, the sound of a 7 Eleven door chime, and the sight of friendly people smiling. ❤️ รักในหลวง ❤

Chris I like much how you interact with the people. I definitely feel the love and admiration you have for Thailand. The boat travel there was pretty cool. I spent the winter in Mazatlan Mexico 2 years ago and getting around by boat was the way to do it. Much smaller boats though. I am so excited that in less than 2 weeks I'll be in Bangkok.
