  • I left a burning hotel behind, failed to hitchhike out of town, and didn't accomplish my mission to have a drink at the beach. But, we made it to a beautiful place on the coast of Malaysia. We are now in Malacca 😍

    When things go wrong it often makes a more entertaining and believable video, so I'm always glad when you share the what-went-wrong moments.Those of us who travel a lot know it is stressful and things often don't go as planned. It looked like a nice river area, kind of like a little San Antonio, Texas riverwalk, if you have ever been there. Good job with the fire. You never know, you might have saved a few lives. So YOU are the champ of the day.

    Sorry to hear things didn't go as planned. Having a drink by the river side is nice too... looks rather romantic, a bit like Hoi An. Honestly, it has been ages since I travelled to Malacca. So the city is probably now much nicer and more tourist-friendly compared to the past. The food there is to die for! 😋

    Hitch hiking is unpopular in Malaysia. Many stories of hitch hikers assaulting the vehicle owner, so many do not want to pick up any hikers ,unless there is physical barrier eg a lorry. ANYWAY, bus fare are cheap.

  • @kylek2623

    I checked the fuel price here today in Sydney and one ltre costs A$1.95. A week back it got as high as A$2.20 a litre. Still those costs are way up there compared to when this video was filmed 7 months ago when from memory those prices were around A$1.65 a litre. Its likely the Malaysian prices are much higher now. That hotel fire, wow, you'll never forget that!!

    • @Chai_Travel
      @Chai_Travel  Před 9 měsíci +1

      I’ll have to check it out to see what the price are now but I think it’s very steady and cheap as they produce more than they need for themselves (I believe). Man, that was so scary! I’ll never forget

    Welcome to my home town Malacca. This town depends on a lot of Singaporean tourists but with covid lockdown, some businesses had shuttered and now starting to recover slowly. No beaches in the city that you can lay around but there are some seaside strips you can walk around in the Portuguese settlement area or the land reclaimed vicinity along the waterfront otherwise, you really need to hire a car to drive out of the city towards the Tanjung Bidara abt 10-12km.

    You can actually take the commuter train up to Pulau Sepang in Melaka. The only thing-the train station is not near the touristy places in the city center. My hometown is not too far from the train station, so I always take the train to go back from KL, and then takes a Grab or have my father picks me up from the train station.

Malaysian called it as a food heaven. many local tourist come to Muar every school holidays for food..

      Not sure what indicates that Malaysia 'doesn't fit' Chai' . He appears quite at home there and enjoying his travels.
      The only way to build a successful channel is to be diverse and expansive, that apart from an individual's desire to do some travelling and share the rest of SE Asia with the viewers. There is plenty of time to discover other parts of Thailand, Chiang Mai being home base. Trips to the Philippines and now Malaysia have enabled the number of subscribers to more than double and the number of views of the videos created and uploaded out of those countries compared to those out of Thailand are substantially higher, especially the interviews which appear very popular in Malaysia. Smart business decision I would have thought. Anyway that is my take on it for what it is worth 😎
