JUNGLE TREKKING IN CHIANG MAI, THAILAND | 2 DAYS 1 NIGHT
Today we hike deep into the Mae Wang National Park to take part in a 2 day 1 night jungle trek with PM Tours! This was not something originally on our bucket list, but WOW we are so glad we did it! The trek took us to a remote village where we hung out for the evening to talk with locals and new friends from around the world, while eating some delicious food.
After staying in the large city of Chiang Mai for the last week, this hike brought us closer to nature and allowed us to see more of the beautiful sights Thailand has to offer. This was by far one of our FAVOURITE excursions of our whole trip!
If you find yourself in the Chiang Mai region and are looking for a different kind of adventure, make sure you check out PM Tours! They offer many unique experiences but we highly recommend the jungle trek 🤗

PURE CHAOS at the THAILAND LANTERN FESTIVAL | Chiang Mai, Thailand
zhlédnutí 171Před 19 hodinami
Today we took part in the annual Thailand Lantern Festival in Chiang Mai! The lantern festival, also known as Loy Krathong, originated from an old Brahim Festival that was created to pay respects to the water spirits. It was then later adapted to show respect to Buddha. It is celebrated on the Full-Moon Night of the 12th Lunar Month. There are a couple of ways (some more expensive than others) ...
WE MADE TRADITIONAL THAI FOOD | CHIANG MAI COOKING CLASS
zhlédnutí 258Před 21 dnem
Food is one of the best ways to learn about a new culture and we can't visit a country without trying out a traditional cooking class! In this video we got the opportunity to partner with Thai Ahka Cooking School. We started our day by exploring a local market to pick up a few ingredients for our dishes later on. We even got to taste a couple things while we were there! We then made our way to ...
Sticky Waterfalls (Bua Thong) + Sunday Night Market | Chiang Mai, Thailand
zhlédnutí 158Před 21 dnem
If sticky waterfalls weren't on your bucket list before they definitely are now!! Just over an hour drive from Chiang Mai is the Bua Thong waterfall (known to locals as the sticky waterfall). This free attraction is a MUST if you've never experienced this naturally occurring phenomenon. The mineral deposit on top of the rock makes it almost like a hard sponge where no algae or slime can stick. ...
Visiting an ELEPHANT SANCTUARY | Chiang Mai, Thailand
zhlédnutí 556Před 28 dny
Today was an absolute bucket list day. We have been looking forward to an experience at an ethical elephant sanctuary since we knew we were coming to Thailand! Elephants are one of our FAVOURITE animals so it was such an amazing experience getting to walk alongside them (even made friends with the grandma of the group) 🤗 The Chiang Mai region is very popular when it comes to visiting elephants ...
FIRST IMPRESSIONS of CHIANG MAI | Exploring the Old City
zhlédnutí 349Před měsícem
Chiang Mai is one of the largest cities in Northern Thailand and is known to have a more laid back atmosphere compared to the capitol of Bangkok. In the heart of Chiang Mai is the old city, known for having an abundance of temples, walking streets, markets, and amazing food! There is so much to do and see in the Chiang Mai area that we've decided to stay here for over a week 😁 We haven't spent ...

Our First Overnight Bus in Thailand | Khao Sok to Bangkok

Today we venture on our FIRST overnight bus in Thailand! It's no sleeper bus like you'd find in Vietnam but honestly the ride was quite comfortable! There were a couple unexpected stops which added to the journey but overall was a great experience 😁 even managed to sleep a bit! Many people find it quite difficult to travel from Khao Sok National Park up to Bangkok as the route is long and doesn...

Before coming to Thailand we KNEW that this had to be on our itinerary!! We had seen so many videos of people staying overnight in the floating bungalows but we are checking out what it's like to visit on a day trip 😁 Khao Sok National Park is absolutely breathtaking. From amazing limestone cliff formations, stunning waterfalls, and a massive man made lake (Cheow Lan Lake); there is an endless ...

Well, island life has been amazing but now it is time to head back to the mainland and explore more of what this beautiful country has to offer. Today we had an early morning wake-up to catch a ferry before hopping on a bus to Khao Sok National Park. This travel day kept both of us awake all night, there were many obstacles to overcome...even before we get on the ferry. Khao Sok National park i...
KOH PHANGAN | More than Just a Party Island!? 🏝️
zhlédnutí 493Před měsícem
Koh Phangan is an island in Thailand most famous for it's Full Moon Party! Everyone talks about the nightlife on this island (especially at the height of tourist season) but we wanted to see if Koh Phangan is worth visiting if you aren't into that scene. The journey to get here consisted of one of our bumpiest, unsteady, boat rides of our travels. We made it but were definitely a little shaken ...

Loved this video. The jungle trek looked so fun.
Hi guys, What a fantastic video! Thank you so much. We really appreciate it! 🙏🥰 Cheers, Pim and Miki
Name of the falls??
Ha ha ha wow Oh I'm so hungry 😋🎉 Congratulations wish you happiness 😊💕🎉🎊
Thank you so much!! ☺
Croatia always sunny ❤
Happy good day
It was a really good day! 😄
So impressed by how you guys are making your way through local transportation, bureaucratic red tape, language. Amazing! 🙂 Such interesting food! 🙂
Thailand transportation was a lot easier to figure out then Vietnam!
So interesting! Looks like it would be so slippery and yet it obviously not! Glad there were some ropes for the steeper parts. Still not seeing lots of 80 year olds trekking on by! Thought the guy was putting chocolate on the crepe! 🙂
We were amazed by them!! Such a cool experience 👏🏼
I like the herbal thai massage. The traditional looks painful! Never heard of Chiang Mai before and now Jacob has been there, your dad Grant and then your mom, now you two! Loved this video. Thanks! 🙂
Chiang Mai ended up being one of our favourite places in Thailand! So much to do and see and eat 🤗
Love the bus stop sign! You guys are so positive, after 14:12 hours! They would have let you on in Mexico! I can't believe how chipper you guys are after such a long travel day! Forget the chill - how about the sleep! 🙂
Honestly we got more sleep on this bus then the lay down sleeper buses in Vietnam surprisingly 😂 I think it was the less amount of honking that helped
OMG!!! Where is your walking sticks! Yummy supper to end it all off! Love it! 🙂
One of the coolest hikes we did on the trip! And we weren't expecting it at all which was the best 🤗
I hope I get to try the dishes you made. Looked like so much fun! 🙂
We tried all the ones we made PLUS all the ones they made! We left there extremely full 😂 so many dishes!
Love love love this! Thanks so much. What amazing and special beings elephants are!❤
Elephants are by far one of our favourite animals! It was such an amazing experience getting to be that close to them 🤗
You made the right choice to come to Asia , Asia is rising , China Japan South Korea. Taiwan. Thailand. Malaysia. Singapore. Philippines and Indonesia , the Asian century is coming !
We absolutely LOVED our time in Asia! The people, the food, the places, the nature.....everything! Can't wait to go back some day 🤗
hope your guys enjoy.
It was an amazing experience! 🤗
❤❤❤
You're confused about directions because you have travelled south of the sun. You've probably spent your whole life north of the sun.
Coming from a landlocked part of Canada doesn’t help 😂 we only see the ocean when we go on trips and that didn’t happen much before this one!
love you guys😘😘🥰🥰
Thanks for watching our videos!!! 🤗
Can swim at ao nang beach? Some say dirty? Is it true?
We didn’t have any problem swimming at Ao Nang beach! 😄 it may not have been as pretty as some of the surrounding beaches but it was still nice to spend the afternoon there 😊
Thanksssss
1. Thailand has VIP sleeping cars such as NCA First Class, Sombat Tour. If you have a chance again, try using these 2 companies. 2. You put the wrong Thai flag on the cover on YT. You use the Costa Rica flag not Thailand Hope your guys enjoy and safe.
We will have to check those companies out next time we are in Thailand 👏🏼 And thanks for letting us know, we must have missed it! It's changed now 🤗
I have lived in Bangkok fot 16 years but only know about 5 bus routes. Because of the incredible traffic (but not at 530 AM), it is easier to take BTS / MRT if the destination is near a stop. Good video. Enjoy your travels !
That's what we were hoping to take but the bus dropped us off way closer! Although it may have taken more time in the end 😂
Love your travel days
Glad you are enjoying them!! We love making them 🤗
👌👌👌👌
Love the jump scare at the end😂
Hahahaha one of our favourite bloopers yet I think! So funny 😂
Da Nang, Da Lat...hard for me to make a Da cision. Thinking Da Lat and occasional beach weeks in Da Nang.
😂 love this! And yes we loved Da Lat!! That sounds like a great plan 👏🏼
@@robynandgraham enjoy your journey!
Brings back wonderful memories. I stayed at the Athens Hub in 2021 for a week. One of my favorite hostels in Europe. It’s in the middle of the beautiful Monastiraki neighborhood. Glad you found it and enjoyed it. 🙂
We absolutely loved our stay here!! 🤗 Hope to go back one day
Can't believe the hike terrain - and in sandals. Your mom was wearing sandals too on their hike in St Lucia. I would need full blown hiking boots not to turn my ankle. Thanks for taking me safely to places I will never be able to go now. Vicarious living through my grandkids. Love XXX 🙂
We may have benefited if we wore actually shoes 😂 but it was way to hot for that! ❤ Glad you're enjoying our travels!!
cool place. Loved the sunset too and enjoyed the couple kissing behind you! 🙂
Hahahaha we definitely didn't see that 😂
❤❤❤
Nine months, and this Moose Jaw guy will be there. Flight and hotel booked. Thanks for the info.
A fellow person from Saskatchewan!! 🤗 Hope you have a wonderful time in Thailand!!
Glad i found this video. We might be moving to Umag. Is it busy with people? And have you seen any grocery stores that i can walk to and buy every day foods?
Wow that's amazing!! When we visited there wasn't a ton of tourists but travel wasn't fully open yet after Covid and there weren't a ton of people travelling so it may be different now 😁 However, it won't nearly be as busy as the cities in the south of Croatia get! There should be grocery stores as we cooked a lot of our food at our accommodation 🤗
@@robynandgraham thanks so much!!
Yay! We made it! What a long travel day but great lounging. Looking forward to what we will see in the next vlogs! 🙂
I'll send a longer message once my legs get uncramped from watching you guys climb that mountain. Who had to carry all the supplies up to build that Big Buddha! And the separate ways down? Wow! Glad there was a good positive ending to that story. Appreciated the trust you each had - that Robyn just waited in the lobby and Graham just walked along until a 'grab' came along. Much more restful for the voyeur to see the beach, even if the local parachute guy wasn't strapped in. Exhausted now - and I was only watching. 🙂
Definitely a big day of challenges! But one of the most memorable days of our trip 🤗
Curious what your guys’ budgets were for each day in each country/currency! I love seeing the currency conversion pop up whenever you mention a local price too.
We budgeted $80CAD for the two of us together and honestly unless we were doing an excursion we never came close to hitting it on a daily basis!
@@robynandgraham including lodging or no?
@@ashbreault4474 yep including lodging! And you can definitely do cheaper than we did 😁 I would say we are “comfort” budget backpackers!
Crazy! There were even crosswalks to get across the road but it didn't look like it made much difference! And that sticker cafe! Loved it! Was amazed to learn that Hanoi has twice+ the population of Toronto, the largest city in Canada! Hope you don't forget your shoulder cover the next day, Robyn! 🙂 Great Day!
I was slowly learning to just always have one handy because you never know! 😂 It's so hot all the time, the last thing I'm thinking of wearing is a long sleeve which is why I would forget it!
I loved the views out of those windows! What a hoot! And being let off your bus, who knows where! You guys are troopers. 🙂
Felt like with transportation in Vietnam we never knew where they would pick us up and drop us off 😂 very much had to go with the flow
yessss Ao Nang time!!
LOVED Ao Nang!! The whole area surrounding it was beautiful 😍
love you guys
Awe thank you so much for watching!! 🤗
It is low tide that's why the water is gone 😅
Can you tell we come from a landlocked area of Canada 😂 watching this back felt ridiculous hahaha like of course it's the tide but our brains just didn't go there right away!
Travelling from Zagreb to Dubrovnik by flix bus is a great option indeed 😊 do these buses also have the provision for washroom/toilets?
Yep they had washrooms on the bus, which we were super thankful for 👏🏼😁 they weren't the nicest of course but they did the job!
Wow what a day! This is one of my fav videos, so funny and such a fun full day love it
Definitely wasn't the day we were expecting 😂 tropical hikes hit different hahaha have never been so sweaty in our lives
Love the unplanned adventure that Graham went on! Very character building for sure
Thank goodness for the kind strangers that picked him up! Would've been a long walk down the mountain before getting service again
Love your videos and following along with your adventures. What time of year we’re you in Thailand?
Thank you so much! 🤗 we were in Thailand for November and December of 2023! So a couple of months ago. Absolutely loved our time there!
Love your videos ❤
Thank you so much 🤗
99 % your faces and nothing else
Incredible! the steps up Hyana Picchu will be a breeze after what you did on this mountain. My legs need a rest now! Hugs 🙂
Hoping so! Trying to do a couple more hikes in the summer to get us prepared 😂
That was so impressive - specular. And all that paddling with feet! Interesting! Loved the ambiance! 🙂Getting caught up now (I think!) 🙂
We were so impressed!! Definitely aren't flexible or agile enough to do that ourselves 😂
Looks like you guys had an amazing trip. How long total were you gone for? Bali is definitely on my list now 🎉
Honestly feels like it was just a dream! We had such a wonderful time and can't wait to hit the road again this year 🤗
So cool to see you travelling again, I loved watching you and nerrisa. You were a great inspiration for us to tackle our own travels this year!
Love to hear you found our channel again! We took about a year off to plan our wedding and save up before hitting the road on our South East Asia trip 🤗
