🇲🇲| HARSH REALITY ⚠️ How is Mandalay, Myanmar in 2024?
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 08. 2024
- Mandalay, Myanmar's second-largest city, is known for its rich history, cultural heritage, and traditional crafts. Some of the key attractions are Mandalay Palace, Mahamuni Buddha Temple and there are a lot of things to discover in the incredible city but, having in mind of what is happening to Myanmar and its people it did not feel right for me to visit Mandalay going to all the tourist attractions. So I focus my stay on other things.
This is filmed in Mandalay, Myanmar: maps.app.goo.gl/gcGhdTxXD1Kpq...
🌟 Want to help me to help others?
My mission is to make more people aware of the situation while trying to help as much as I can. Up until today, not one NGO can be transparent about the activities they are doing within Myanmar, so I had to be creative how we can help some of the people in need. We can not stop the war, but we can help people in need who are effected by the war.

As a Myanmar citizen, I do appreciate that you really did speak out for us.A lot of CZcamsrs ,bloggers and tourists didn’t usually dare to talk about true situation of Myanmar. But you did tell everything what we expect to tell.Thank you bro.Have a safe trip.
Sorry for my bad grammar
Yes, I also heard about rebel killings civilians for not supporting them and bombing the school s.I am also worry about him.
Thank you for showing your appreciation 🙏 I hope I can keep giving positive impact even while I left the country
U Bein Bridge is not just a tourist attraction but also a functional bridge of conveyance for locals.
Thank u for visiting my country I appreciate it❤
Wow the kids at the last moment stole my heart. Stay champ!! Chai!
❤️ Mine too! Stay champ as always :)
mandalay was the first city i visited in myanmar back in 2019. in all of my travels around the world this place probably was one of my absolute favourites. lots of wonderful memories. i still think about mandalay and myanmar and i am sure one day it will turn back into the tranquil and happy place from my memories. peace and love from germany.
Thx for this video! My wife is Burmese, I feel so sad for Myanmar! Please be careful!
Thank you for watching. I hope better times will come soon again
@@Chai_Travel I honestly highly doubt so, even if the Junta falls, it will be a never ending war between minorities, only Ang San Suu Kyi managed to unite the country. As my daughter is obviously half burmese, I really hope it will change! I want her to be able to see her country thrives, such beautiful people, such a beautiful country!
We are all safe in Singapore, but I am scared for my Burmese family (my wife's family). My daughter will ALWAYS be safe considering she also has French nationality.
there is also a song the people of Myanmar sang together back in 2021 maybe until now.
It‘s a burmese version from the Song Dust in the Wind from Kansas.
I always get goose bumps when i remember back to the beginning of the war and all the victims and when i hear the song and all the burmese people with candles standing on their balconies
Me too.
Oh...........Finally you arrive my country Myanmar. I frequently watch your videos. Hope you tell us frankly what we need to prepare to have more tourist attractions like others' Asean countries when one day peace comes. Welcome to Myanmar, hope you safe and enjoy it.
thank you for the kindness and genuine love for the people of Myanmar. please be safe!
My hometown is Mandalay. I went to that university of medicine which is near by the train station. So reminiscing watching ur clip, literally getting flash backs of my uni life where i hang. Thank u so so much for visiting and making videos of our country.
Powerful viewing my friend - the Tuk Tuk driver speaks well and I enjoyed watching & listening - Thank you 🙏 👍🙏
Thank you! I’d love to go back to Mandalay one day to show the amazing sightseeings 😊 have a great day
Thank you so much Chai ,take care everything and have a safe trip .
Thank you too for watching and saying hi :)
I just went to Myanmar last summer. Went to Yangon. It was quieter than I thought
Thank you Chai, great video, lovely people ! ❤In Mandalay we see now many Moto bikes, it is so different than Yangon......
I hope and wish Peace for Mynamar ! 🙏✌
Thanks again Fioretta :) We hope so too ❤️ Have a good day
@@Chai_Travel Thank you, same to you Chai
Thanks for sharing this. It's very informative and shows an honest picture of life in Myanmar right now.
My husband is from Mandalay, we lived there for 3 years but decided to move to my country, the Netherlands, after the coup. My heart aches while watching this video. I feel so sad for the country and at the same time I really miss it, your footage brought back a lot of memories. Thank you 🙏
Your connection to Mandalay and your kind words are deeply appreciated. Thank you for sharing your memories. Bedankt en een warme groet, Chai
Thanks for your sharing ! We miss our country a lot 😢
A huge appreciation for your beautiful video about Myanmar at this moment. My deep empathy to all race in Myanmar and I hope you guys can sit together to discuss a way to reunite again as a whole one Myanmar. From Native Khmer (Cambodian race) in Mekong delta, Vietnam with love.
Beautiful words. Thank you, also for watching
Thank you so much for showing the real situation of myanmar.I do appreciate for your video and your braveness. We are really tough lives under military coup. Mandalay is different under Junta.Anyway thanks for visiting our culture city and sharing the real situation of our country.🙏🙏🙏
It is such a grateful to see you here and showing what is happening and sounds of citizens having harsh time. There are some places where there are so many people suffering a lot mostly in Sagaing and other suburbs, villages. Please don't go around police and soldiers wherever you see. Have a nice trip!
"Stay champ! Stay champ!" 555, loved the chant. If you ever to a clip opening that should be in there... Continued human and grounded reporting from the new Mister BBC.
Haha thanks mate! Stay champ! Stay champ! 🎶
Ohh He is so nice man and well communicate with you
So proud of you Mandalay Thar
Hellllooo I am here because I will teach in Myanmar and I will be there next week...thank you for sharing this....
1:35 this happens in every country. Even here in the EU the government will force you to fight if there's a war. That's the law in almost any country.
Burmese food is super underrated, there are some nice places to try it in Bangkok for fellow South East Asian travelers 😊
Totally agree, Burmese food is a hidden gem!
Loving your Myanmar videos, hoping to get to that country at some point
Thanks mate! I hope the situation will settle before you come over 🙏
I was there back in 2019… amazing country….
Welcome Chai! And I am in the city of mandalay, near to the hospital of minglar mandalay and a hotpot, i am looking forward to see you these days as i drive cars around the cities!
Thank you ❤️
Also, there are also many international schools around mandalay, you may see them as you go around the city. And yes, cafe city's western food is a must-try restaurant as you visit mandalay, I can tell you that it's delicious and affordable, and worth for foreigners to go there and eat! Anyway, see you, stay safe young and handsome man!
thank you also for observing all of those occurence that are happening right now around mandalay, i could say that you are one of the kindest foreigners I have seen Chai, keep going, see you!
You're flattering ;) Thank you!
They are really!
Thank you for visiting our city. Welcome to Mandalay. Want to see you if you are now in mandalay I lived near mingalar mandalay hotel
Chai je bent een baas man, maakt duidelijk content over alles rondom Thailand en goed gedocumenteerd! Well done
Dutch flavour! Bedankt haha! Fijne dag!
Really accurate review about the city! keep up with the work and stay safe brother... Stay away from soldiers and their guardposts as far as you can because you might trapped in crossfire if the shooting brokes out.
Thank you 🙏
Love From Myanmar!
thx for everything u did for my country. god bless u. i hope u can come back to our country when everything is over and safe.

Thank you :) I try! ❤️
I really appreciate that you speak out loud for us and thank you for your every one of helps for Myanmar Citizens like MaungMaung. Chai, Do you have any plan to visit INLAY LAKE? If you have I’m here to help you to show around.
Thank you 🤗 I’ve left Myanmar already, unfortunately I couldn’t go to Inlay lake on this trip. Hopefully next time
Thanks for living in my beautiful country
Very dangerous at night in Mandalay is same level of danger in Rio De Janeiro during their daytime 😅😅😅
Hmmm maybe yes, maybe no
I feel bad for people in mandalay😢
I live in myitkyina and i can hear bombs !!!(The light is out too😢😢)
*BE CAREFUL AND STAY SAFE CHAI!🇲🇲☸🙏*
Thank you. I had a lovely time in 2013 in Mytkina. I hope the peace will return soon
Yo dude! Thanks bro, for both visiting our country and actually talk about the reality lmao, wouldve loved to be your translator too lmao 😂 stay safe!
you could also have a visit to the ocean shopping mall located in the center of the city, see you!
I've left already :(
not far from my village to mandalay My city name is pyin Oo lwin thank you sir for your video uploading and stay safe sir ❤
FACTS WHEN HE SAID " at morning is safe but at night it isn't"
I shutter at the thought of being a boy and suddenly I'm kidnapped and forced to fight a war. What about the poor parents not knowing if they''ll ever see their child again. I do dream of Myanmar opening back up to tourism but far more than that I want the beautiful people there to live free and in peace.
Your empathy and hope for freedom in Myanmar are heartfelt. Thank you for your support brother. I hope you're able to come over one day and experience all the good people here
Great story
Glad you enjoyed it
People of mayamar making the best out of it, good work and stay 🏆
Cheers mate! Even it's hard for a lot of them, they are very strong :) Thanks again champ!🏆
The roads resemble Thailand a lot from the video
Thank you enjoyed watching❤
The fact that we put smiles on our faces even tho we are facing troubles and life threatening cases. Youths have lost their dreams and their precious futures. But we stay strong and I wish this situation will end soon. Thanks for your support and bringing attentions to our life styles.
I hope the situation will get better soon 💪 I wish you all the strengt
True all around the world these days.
Chai you are reaching out and it is working. The majority of these comments are from the people of Myanmar, more specifically from Mandalay and all positive and very thankful. This is so wonderful to see. Cheers mate 🤩 Just one thought though, no need to pixel out the tuk tuk driver?
Thanks mate :) as you know I have been specifically blurring peoples faces. Especially when people talk about politics/the situation. Our mate Jojo didn’t do or say anything wrong in this video and it was not requested so we decided to not blur 🙏 cheers
@@Chai_Travel 🍻
when u r still in mandalay come to maha chai that is my shop
I’ve left already 🙏 thanks for the invitation though
I would like to suggest you some places where u can have ur meal
1. Aye Myit Tar (Burmese Traditional Food)
2. Unique Mandalay Tea Room (Tea House) Here you can get everything especially mohinnga and coconut noodles
3. Shan Shan Noodles 34th street for breakfast (Burmese traditional Shan noodles and the warm tofu are the best there)
4.Corner of 30th street and 81st (there is a shop written ဝင်းမာ ခိုတောင်မုန့်တီ, they sell a burmese traditional noodle called mont ti. This shop is only available in the morning so better hurry)
Yo, that monti shop got some of the best noodles I’ve ever eaten. It’s insane how good their stuff is
❤❤❤😊
❤️❤️🙏
I recommend you to check out the Ngapali beach located in Rakhine state. There’s even foreigners there and the beach is beautiful
Yo brother you're actually 2 blocks away from my home
Welcome to the city man❤
Thank you :D
as an Mandalay citizen I wish you a good stay
Thank you
Man got big balls thats for sure👏
You said the right facts, cheers to that!!!

Love too bro ❤️
Hey just want to know you can come visit anytime as 31A street is near to us,if you want to visit just come to 19 street
Thank you for showing the world about us.
Love from myanmar❤️🇲🇲🇲🇲
Also sometime even in day The army will take you by force and willing to give the person back for money.(around 60$)
Thank you. Hopefully the situation will get better soon❤️💪
The rebels do the same thing. Kidnap young boys to old men into their armies.
You are very brave and intelligence! You can show the reality of Burmese people and their daily life. Did you try "Mandalay Mont-te " which looks like Udon Noodles but it is made with rice . Mandalay Mont-te is authentic Burmese food and very delicious. We Buemese people are very please with your videos! Stay Champ! ☺️❤️
Thank you ❤️ That's very nice to hear
🙏❤
❤️ Thank you Veronica
I live in mandalay
The Diamond Plaza is actually old. There was a huge fire and they're rebuilding it
Hi a quick question, do you upload these contents from Myanmar or did you only upload it once after you left the country? Please be safe...what you are doing takes a lot of courage..... you are showing the true situation of Burma and telling the whole world what we burmese people wants to tell.... thank you so much. Please do be safe.
Thank you 🙏 for me own safety I did make everything ahead and I'm publishing everything from outside of Myanmar ❤️ I'm happy you appreciate the video's I make :) This is how my journey start, maybe you wanna watch it some time? Cheers; czcams.com/video/CrErb6N3HVM/video.htmlsi=LSfbw9Osri8n1LRU
You are so brave
Thanks mate
I pray for the people of Myanmar. I hope there will be light at the end of the tunnel. It reminds me of Cambodia in the 70s. Everything is somewhat normal with no developments and the future is unknown.
If you drink, there's a western style bar called Cowboy that's very near to your hotel. It's open from 6 to 10. You can come enjoy a drink and listen to live Myanmar music..
It's located on 77th street between 33rd and 34th streets.
Thanks for the tip
I really want you to come Pakistan bro❤
I'm still waiting when Mayanmr situation will normal and I'll come to Mayanmr brother
I really wanna come for a weak 😢❤
Thank you. Maybe in a few years from now. I'm actually only covering South East Asia at the moment 🙏 I hope the situation will be better for everyone
Come to Kale bro. I'm a Singaporean and I've been staying in Myanmar for 5years, came here 1 year before the coup. I'll show you around
Thanks, I’ve left already though. Thanks for watching 🙏😊Have a good day :)
Stay safe bro
Welcome Buddy.Have fun!Pls don't forget to visit our landmarks.❤
Are you from the US?
I'm from the Netherlands
2:46 "This is the sound of Myanmar" haha..you got the Burmese humor.
🤭
hello
hotels are very expensive there
myanmar?
Not very. You're looking at 30-50 for a decent 4 star
Hello Chai, I would like to meet you, are you currently in Mandalay? How can I connect you?
Hi hi, chai-travel.com or on insta: Chai_Travel_Pics
oh my city.
You are a very considerate and measured traveler sensitive to the current issues at play. Well done!!!
Thank you 🙏
i stay in mandalay are u still in mandalay
poor got poorer with inflation. now poorest household can only afford rice soaked in rain water which is used to feed pigs or chicken but hey, it's what it is. life goes on .
This a bit of an odd comment
@@Chai_Travel well it's happening for real in my country bro. rain water soaked rice bags which shop used to sell to animal farmers at cheap price. now poorest households rely on those rain water soaked rice for a meal. inflation hitting real hard right now. i am also from myanmar in case u wonder how i know too much. i live near by river and most lowest income family live near by river too by setting up tents. so i heard a lot from them.
Due to money inflation and exchange rate, now the basic salary equivalent 70$ per month. Before, basic salary Equivalent minimum 100-120$ . Now local kyats value are getting lower and lower.
Is it safe? My uncle lives there and He owns a Liquor store
Safe is a bit of a stretch but, compare to a lot of other places within Myanmar it's pretty safe.
completely safe. The war is is a totally different location.
@@Sleepy_Joe_ Not really,outside of Mandalay city there are LPDF and many other local resistances fighting against the junta.Even in the city there are UGs. No where is safe.
Well his uncle is definitely safe ofc lmao.
I'm just pointing you out that the war is everywhere
It’s Safe in these Protected Cities lol even saw a Benz!
Thank you for sharing the misery of Myanmar
Do you really support us I'm Mandalay...
You want spicy...go check out the Shan and how they are living.
1 house for 2 scooter? HOLY SMOKES
🙏
Chai , the official price of 1 us dollar is now 3300ks and black market is now 4250ks , be aware and not get scam. The websites are still show 2100ks which are not updated.
Thanks for the heads up on the exchange rate!
Hello Chai. Stay safe while you are in Mandalay. If you are walking on street walk from opposite lane that you can see incoming Motorcycle. Beware of thug from behind. Have a nice day in MDY.
Thanks for the tips! Thank you 🙏
Myanmar is similar with india?
Maybe very little. I'd say it's a mix between China, Sri Lanka, Thailand... but Myanmar is very unique
They take young men, if you are a teenage boy and you happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, you could be kidnapped and drafted, or sent to the front lines as a porter (carrying military supplies) or be mine-fodder.
🙏
These people are having slave wages .
Working for 60 to 70 usd per month. this guy is trying to raise 5000 for marriage
Alright let me straighten up thing normally nothing will happen when you talk about the country or anything the only thing you might look out for is if you accidentally cuss out the military coup besides that you can record anywhere anytime you can record cops but not the guys with the camo suit with guns, About the question and the spies you will rarely come across a spy in one of a large city due to alot of people walking around at night You're right about the streets not being safe but if you go to popular areas such as the supermarket its safe , You can upload any videos about the country while you're there as long as you dont reveal exactly where you stay in like a hotel
Notes about yangon it's much safer and you dont have to be careful but mandalay You'll sometimes rarely hear gunshots and some times An su-30 (Fighter jets) you dont have to worry while you're there but I'll give you a warning that the city has now an increased risk of being in the war too And another thing i forgot to tell you Don't let people catch you using an VPN because you'll be arrested because recently It has been banned due to alot of people using it to bypass the ban of facebook and instagram, twitter, telegram, messager.
Plus about the army kidnapping and recruiting they dont just randomly take foreigners due to them being scared of being in conflict with another big countries such as United states
🙏
Aloha, do be careful. Don’t want to be a Debbie Downer, but the Tut Tut driver might have been a spy. My wife(wife Burmese)and I watch the driver's actions. Does not have the demeanor of a tut-tot driver. Most tut tut drivers are from the provinces. Usually, darker complexions, his hands show little hard manual work. The driver's haircut is very similar to the police/military. Something is not right about the situation. Girlfriends look to be recording conversations vs. Facebooking (Asian women obsess). By the way, I’m a psych nurse of 40 years, Gotten pretty good at reading people. Hati-Hati.
Thank you but I can insure you, he is not a spy. For his safety I would not go into detail 🙏 I hope you understand.
lmao 🤣🤣
@@Chai_Travel Government eyes are everywhere. Many years ago, when Aung Suan Suu Ki was still under house arrest, I did my monk time [expected in Burmese family to do at least once in your life]. My wife's family and I (shaved head, monk gown etc) went to pray at Shwedagon Pagoda. Wandering the ground of the pagoda, I received a whole lot of attention. Was thinking I was a pretty hot shit, bald, overweight white monk, getting loads of attention and requesting to have my picture taken. Afterwards, my family explained that it was the ‘secret police’. Guess they were pretty freaked out seeing me. Wondering if I might have been a planted CIA provocateur. My family thought it was hilarious,but it just easily could have gone sideways fast. The Government doesn't mess around. Remember, these guys are trying to emulate a North Korean type of governance. They dont give a shit what the reset of the world thinks of them.
Similar to Ukrainian forced conscription 😮
Ukrain fight with another country but Myanmar Junta force for conscription to fight with Myanmar citizens 😢
There are definitely differences, though both very sad
fLUCK the Junta! fLUCK the Junta! fLUCK the Junta! fLUCK the Junta! fLUCK the Junta!
I think I understand your anger 🙏
Why don't you get a chest strapped camera , even smaller hidden type , seriously ?😊
Thank you for the suggestion! I'll try to safe up for one :)
The tuk tuk girl was a spy
No. Why would you think this? If she was I would be in jail by now
@@Chai_Travel because she didn't speak, she just looked at her phone and listened to what you were saying. Thank God you're fine cause you never said anything against the government or the rebels
@@dewcuev she probably just didn't have enough English skills and/or shy vis-à-vis a foreigner of the opposite sex.
most of the peoples lose their home due to military force then to move and most of the homeless family home are destroy by then😔
I hope everyone is strong enough until this is over ❤️
