The COLDEST Place in Thailand (Russian Friends' Adventure to "Phu Chi Fah")

  • Even during my 5 years living in Michigan (Northern USA), I've never experienced temperature swings like this - the freezing winds of the legendary 'Phu Chi Fah' mountainside are impressive to say the least - even our new friends from Russia are surprised that "Thailand can get so cold!"
    Welcome to Chiang Rai Province, home of the "Sky Pointing Mountain," and one of the coldest (beautiful and breath-taking) places I've been in a long, long time.**
    This is the first day of our Chiang Rai trip, and I am so excited to share this entire week of adventure with you! We have some new friends for this trip, as well as our very special friends Bank and Rimma, and we are all feeling blessed and so fortunate to be able to spend the final week of 2021 together in such a place.
    LOCATION:
    We stayed at Buran Resort, which is about 1km from the summit of Phu Chi Fah
    goo.gl/maps/5Luw7PoyWqLj56iH8 - cost ranges from 750-1,000 Bah/night
    (The room is very basic, the amenities simple, but the view is absolutely incredible!)
    **I didn't actually say in the video, but I know there must be many people who are curious :) The temperature at noon in Chiang Mai, finishing a morning bike ride, was up to 33 C. By the time we reached the restaurant in Chiang Rai (the one in today's video), it had dropped to around 14 C, and by sundown, it was just 8 C and extremely windy. Might even seem downright warm compared to Michigan, but when you only have clothing for low-land Thailand, shorts and a T-shirt will leave you freezing in no time :) Like I said, even our new friends from Russia were surprised!

    What an absolute stunning place, it seems like the top of the world, I could sit at that restaurant and look at that view for ever. You Joel are one of the nicest young men I've ever had the privilege of watching on CZcams, actually change that You Are The Nicest Young Man on CZcams and your wife Lee is beautiful, funny, sweet, you make the perfect couple. I would love to travel to Thailand but I'm disabled now and walking is a problem on the flat never mind up and down hillside, life is funny I'm now of an age where I have the time and enough money to travel and visit out of the way places, but now my body isn't up to it. Anyway I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and I'll be looking out for your next video.

We tend to put off majority of the things we dream of doing … affordability/timing /companionship … then get to a point where we have all the “missing pieces” only to find something else is out of whack - like the body can no longer keep up.

      Man, so much credit for people having to work in situations like this. They ACED it with their choice of location but at the same time, they have to then put up with just completely unnecessary amounts of strong wind in their daily life for ALL the other hours of the day that they are not busy serving customers this glorious “Curry over rice with a side of $1 million views.”

    Hi Joel , Li, Bank and Rimma 👋 🙏🤗. Lovely video as always! The way that restaurant slants on that cliff is terrifying. I'm very scared of heights. Have an absolute phobia. The food looks lovely but I'm sure it was cold within minutes with that wind! I had a fun day as well yesterday. Went for breakfast with my children. First time eating out in ages. Caitlin and I decided to forgo the full English and shared natchos and baked Camembert with cherry compote instead. We were full from breakfast so made a tossed macaroni with bacon, onion and my homemade garlic and bell pepper relish with chillies. Simple but good. My children are so excited. I allowed Caitlin to take her brother for a short holiday to see the Sudwala caves. She's a big girl now and her boyfriend drives well. They're going to sleep at a bed and breakfast for 2 days. 300 Kms from home so I am nervous! Have to cut the apron strings at some point but it's not easy 😂.

    Joel, I like your Thai vids. I lived in a small village (behind the Wat in the guest room) in Sakhon Nakon for a school year and only had access to the same food you often review. Good job. Especially with ordering in Thai which can be a bit complicated what with 25 different “salads.” My only criticism is, well if you are making these for westerners, you should imo talk as if you’re back home. You’re doing what we all do after a couple of years...changing the way you talk cause you’re used to speaking to Thai people (I’m speaking of annunciation, etc).
