- Who doesn't love a vacation in Thailand? That was to be my plan, except I didn't have the typical vacation in mind. I had always been fascinated by this area called the Golden Triangle, located on the tri-border of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar. I heard the Chinese had taken over. Sounded great! I wanted to go see what was happening.
I invited a familiar face from Indonesia to join me in Chiang Rai.

Finally, a vacation!
Haha good one 😂
Enjoy your vacation from Garissa. 🎉
What is the best country you have visited so far?
At least they have weed in Thailand
STAY AWAY FROM THE BALLOONS AND THE KRATOM
this guy amazes me to no end. How he manages to learn enough of the local language to do basic conversation to all the countries he goes to, is just wild af.
@@Warren1814 what in the world are you going on about lmao. im talking about the dude being able to speak languages, wtf have the woman anything to do with this. who said anything bout english
@@Warren1814I’m Thai and wtf, this kind of ignorance is just disgusting 🤦♂️
@@patrixius1536 smh lol
@@amenbrother8785 I was just referring to the man in the video and it's nothing amazing about him knowing different languages. You hang around anybody long enough a person can eventually learn a new language.
@@Warren1814 no, he knows the language before going to the country. you are SO off the mark
Broski i swear your videos are like therapy. After a hectic day.. laying in bed watching your vlogs, i feel at ease. Thank you.
Tommy:"...finally, I'm driving a scooter in thailand." . US: **sigh**
I’ve spent lots of Time in Thailand and will be moving there next year and I can tell you EVERYWHERE in Thailand is amazing. The people, the food; the culture and most of all the landscape is breathtaking
Alright. Sabbatical is human. Finally, a language in which he is not fluent and one where I'm slighty better than him. Of course, by next week he'll probably surpass my level of Thai fluency.
You just need to make bigger hand gestures and speak more loudly. It's the universal solution to communication problems.
He just needs to learn how to say the phrase "how much, short time?"
me love you short time!@@ahndeux
Me Love you more longer @@steffybael1245
@@steffybael1245 Me love you 5 seconds.
I’ve lived and worked in Thailand, and I speak Thai. When I was there in 2011, China came in and updated the infrastructure, for free but for a percent of the profit. So it’s come very far from my Peace Corps days in 2000. (Oh, I also speak Lao. I was based Essan-Khon Kaen). I got hooked on your videos because for the past ten years I’ve been living in Shanghai.
My son is in college in Shanghai. I'm always interested in seeing how others made their lives there. He loves it there.
@@fairalways I would say that about 80-90% of the expats are teachers. We love it too. I make 3 times as much as I did in the states, with more benefits and respect.
What exactly is the infrastructure you're talking about? Road, bts, mrt are NOT built by China or Chinese money
@@nihon1121 roads, trains, public transportation systems.
Bangkok looks the same in 2023 as it did in 2006 when i visited the first time.
Just got back from Mexico, Jamaica last year, hope to see a different part of the world every year, your travels are inspiring!
the music while pumping gas absolutely cracked me up. reminding me of why I love Thailand and Cambodia so much I can't wait to return.
always a good day when tommy uploads a video
Top episode, your friend has great vibes and this was a fun watch.
I enjoy watching Sabbatical.
The Chiang Rai area in Thailand is one of the friendliest and beautiful places on the planet. Some magnificent restaurants and eating places. They really look after their roads and as much as possible the infrastructure. Going from LOS ( land of smiles ) Thailand to Laos is an education in itself. Great to see you got the boogie beat at the gas pump mate. Bushyboy Oz.
What do you mean? People are less happy in Laos compared to Thailand?
love your simplified content man 👍
Tommy, you’re a pretty humble & down to earth guy. Enjoy your time in Thailand brother! It looks so nice. I hope to visit sometime soon.
Nice vlog, Tommy: really enjoyed seeing your girlfriend and you taking this trip;
it is nice to see the countryside away from the urban areas.
I love your videos, very inspiring, I hope to be able to get as many experiences as you one day!
This duo trip is a nice change of pace and I am glad someone reasonable keeps an eye on Tommy going to such a dangerous place. Cute interaction at 2:57
Is it really extremely dangerous? Just asking- didn't have that idea about it
The most dangerous thing in Thailand is riding around on those little motorcycles
It isn't a dangerous place as long as you don't go buying drugs etc.
@@bouffon1why? Pot is legal
You don't know Thailand, do you? The main problem up there is no longer opium, but speed. Pot? What has that got to do with it? I grow it in the garden.@@gloryglory5688
Everyone is thinking it but I'm gonna say it.. Glad she's back. Tommy has officially passed the vibe check
Never to be seen again and he's back home [:Dew:Dork:Dity] :D I think he had to put out a hit on them both to avoid marrying up a gigglebrain as implied by No serve Music gas bar to escape tipping for $17 sausages at the border restaurant that wouldn't comply request adding to photo wall his own cringe tinge pic.
Sawadee kraap Tommy! You popped up just when I needed to get away from the day to day b.s. that's crossed my path recently. It great to see Maya (not sure I spelled her name right) again. She seems like a great companion to have along. (Hi Maya!) Looking forward to your Lao adventure. Be safe you two. Thanks!
Never been but man Thailand looks beautiful - even the roundabout you went past looked amazing 🤩
Yeah, it looks nice.... but I just know that there is a cobra over there with my name on it!
@@Mycroftsbrotheryou like them lady boys huh🤨
@@Mycroftsbrother only one way to be sure!
Looked cheap and those spikes are a hazard
this is so real, I've been watching your channel for quite a long time and really enjoy it, thanks bro
Nice Tommy! She is a keeper, you were smiling through the whole vid 😊. Messed me up a bit when the phone was ringing at the gas station, thought it was mine inside our house! Looking for a Singapore vid, as we are heading there for thanksgiving!
Love the videos excited for part 2
Dude, I'm so glad you popped up on our feed. You can thank the Department of Rural Roads for the awesome rural roads in Thailand. If only the rest of the world could be like them. Also, Laos was the last place I went before returning to the US for a while and I absolutely loved it there. I can't wait to see the next video!
Thanks for the awesome video brother, as always great.
Greta work man! Your approach and presenting is awesome!
Tommy is a natural. He should have his own show on the Travel Channel, his ratings would be huge.
He does, and it's on CZcams!
His ratings would be shit, because only people that are 3,000 years old watch television. Oh, and as already mentioned.. he does have his own show! FFS people.
I used to love the Travel Channel back in the day. Now the only travel is to the nearest haunted house. Sad.
Always educating me Tommy 😘
Chang Rai and Chang Mai are on my wishlist. I love Thailand!! Have a good time, Tommy.
Good video, great Job! We are also in Thailand in 3 weeks, we are very excited 🥰 many greetings and good trip 🇹🇭❤️
Thank you for sharing your adventure. Wish the two of you a safe journey.
Lovely video as always.
Another great video Matt 👌🏻
You manage to drop into some of the most unique places....Happy Vacationing.
This is my first time to see you in Thailand. Love it! 🙏
Ohh men I looked every Africa Travel Video of your whole Channel multiple times but I was just waiting so horrible for a Thailand Video this Hits !
NIce, food looks good, i'll be in Thailand in a month, this is a great intro for me!
"same same but different" thats pure dope man thanks again !
thank you for the video. and as always be safe out there my friend.
She’s so beautiful❤ Love Thailand can’t wait to go back!
Tommy Awesome vlog an cant wait to see some more of South Asia...Lets go..
Love the food in Thailand ... so much variety and all fresh!
Damn this made me reminiscent of my trip to Thailand and Laos 5 months ago. Crossed that exact same border, even stayed at a monastery in Chiang khong and hitchhiked all over. Loved both countries so much, what a wonderful time ❤
Same travel partner, too ? :) EDIT: jk :]
Girl in Thailand .......you know the first thing it came to my mind when i read the video Title :) . I really enjoy your perspective of traveling and get to know the communities of this world. Congrats on your work Tommy ! Greetings from Portugal
You looking for boom boom huh?
I will be in Thailand in a couple weeks, cant wait , enjoy bud !
Come to Singapore! I'll be happy to show you around!!!
Been following your content for some time now Tommy. My 2-year old daughter is always in the room when I watch you and I think she is becoming familiar too. Would you ever do an AMA? Love learning about all these cultures, would love to learn about you too!
I did one awhile back, wouldn’t mind doing another one
@@SabbaticalTommy Oh right on! I don’t know how long I’ve been subbed now, but I’d have to dig back for that one. Thanks again for the always great and interesting content! Look forward to more.
I just wanted to say I love your videos and greetings from California
Love ya work Tommy - love from Australia bro
Hey bud just back from Thailand , was their 4 months . Amazing people. Can’t wait to return.
When was this video captured ? Thanks!
This video looks amazing. Did you get a new camera ?
You’re in my home country! ยินดีต้อนรับ
Nice to be back in Thailand. It's quite interesting how weed is completely legal there now for recreational use and there's so many shops that popped up over the last few years. It reminds me of a modern day Amsterdam these days.
Always staying up to date on what you are up to. God bless you and your lady.
You got to go to Mae Hong son Province, from Chiang Mai, drive 5hours through the mountains to the north of Mae Hong Son to Ban Rak Thai. That place is an amazing place, it's not full of foreign tourists yet, probably because there still aren't many Chinese tourists, but they speak Chinese there. It's amazing.
The vibe between Thailand and the Golden Triangle in Laos is very different. In Thailand, I feel more comfortable and safe than Laos
You good, the cliffhanger at the end 😳😎
You seemed happier. All for it. Thank you Tommy
He premature ejected the ep, like so fast. short time content like under a tenth of his last one i just watched. weird.. EDIT sorry im idioted and had paused it somehow .\.
Cool Video ❤ which Camera do you use? :)
Thank you for the video ! ☺♥

Awesome video!
Great video, what camera are you using? :)
Congrats on your channel growing so quickly. Tommy, hope your health has improved. I know you were sick and headed back to NY in one of your recent videos, indicating you were done making videos. . I'm assuming you shot this video prior to health issues. Take care my friend.
My favourite province in Thailand. People in Chiang Rai are so friendly.
Yeeahhhhh boi... Bangkok bound in 4 weeks for me!... Go Sabbatical
13:46 You're welcome is Yin-Dee.
Happy to see you in Thailand! I'm an American currently living here. Also, learning a bit of Thai my first foreign language. It's a little ruff to say the least.
immerse yourself in the AUDIO like you did as a child. learn the 500 most common words don't worry about conjugation. you will understand me in your language if i use incorrect referencing like past/present/future or mix plurals, we adjust for it all the time but some Indians for example just give up and always MID-Eng. some lose their accent even. but we accept them, all. much easier to be close w someone that bothers to try and learn your language when your willing to help teach them :)
Thank you so much for the advice! That is very true regarding conjugation and such particulars in the English language. Learn the most common basics and the particulars will follow in time.
Oh man, you cut it off and left us hanging! Keep it up, Tommy. Love from my couch in NY.
premature ejected us !
Tommy se llevó la piba pensando que le iba a ayudar pero terminó haciendo todo como siempre jejeje excelente video amigo!
I'm heading back to Thailand in January. Thailand, Laos, Vietnam. then back to Thailand over a 3-week trip, can't wait.
Your travel companion is a cutie👍👍
Waiting eagerly for next episode 😊
I will be in Thailand on Thursday. Can’t wait
Video quality is much cleaner than usual, did you get another camera. I saw José mentioned you got your bag snatched?
Cool. Hope you make it up to Luang Prabang. It can be done on a 2 day boat trip with an overnight stop in Pak Beng but requires a lot of patience.
Thanks for the adventure! Miss being in China
Thanks for the tour; cool looking adventure. Btw, some fun trivia. In Season 1 of Miami Vice, there is a 2-part episode called 'Golden Triangle'. 🙂Liked & subscribed.
Robot pump sounds like my bedroom on any given night
Wow! Nice bro! I hope your health is better
saw the lao trip on your other channel. you got some balls. wish I could speak all them languages
Curiosity killed the cat, and with a catchy title like that we will watch the video to see what our intrepid traveler is up to next! Everyone loves Thailand and I have been coming for 30 years such that I have a home here and will retire here shortly! Happy smiling people, amazing culture and food, lots to do, reasonably cheap; whats not to like about Thailand?
Man this is just awesome
Thailand is my favorite vacation destination. No where else comes close
I have seen him in EastAfrica he is looking more relaxed now that this Indonesian is keeping him out of trouble love his vlogs Ty4sharing. 😊
Great, thanks for sharing.
Love Thailand- I usually stay out of ching mai 1 run all day through golden triangle. Storied place.
@1:15 @ the restaurant, did he say $7 or $8; or did he say $78? Either way, AWESOME video as per usual. Would LOVE to be able to travel & explore all the Asian countries that Sabbatical has & will in the future. Vicariously experiencing travels through this DOPE channel. I also used to be a big fan of the ADV China channel (before they were almost forced to leave China), but, KEEP UP WITH THE EXCELLENT CONTENT & IL keep watching, liking, & commenting when I actually have something to say👍🏾🌏
270.00 baht (7-8usd)
2:07 wow, the sky is beautiful.
Nice video. Glad to see thai small city folks are still friendly. Btw what is the name of the town/city you were in? If you don't mind?
Chiang Rai, Thailand
Last saw you in Mongolia, nice vid. I know Tland, but never been to the N. Nice trip and Indo girl friend.😊
You dance well🤣, I love your videos.
Sabbatical is the real deal 👍🏼
Enjoy your adventure in Thailand! I just came back from a week's trip in Fujian province, visited Anxi county for a day, a mountain tea KuanYin producing village called Zheng Kheng Cun (located in the mountain region at 620m elevation above mean sea level, about 2 hrs drive from Anxi, really loved it, stayed at a village Toulou (mudhouse) for a night, it is square, a Fujian style private house belonging to a relative of my friend [the Hakka mudhouses are generally round and I had also visited one in Hua'an], also spent 2 days in Quanzhou and 3 days in Xiamen). If you happen to venture south of the Thai border and visit KL, feel free to give me a holler.
Just slaying all the Asian girls!! Mad respect 🙏
My man Tommy doesn’t mess around! Lunch and directly “do you wanna massage?” My man🤙🏼😂
The gas pump that played music got me good lol ⛽️🎶
I'm telling the tribal chief and the women you were forced to marry that you are seeing other women!
We’ll work it out
😂
The karamajong girl, is so mad right now Tommy. U gotta be back to Uganda soon
😂😂😂
Yes, he will be forced to pay a fine of 10 cows and drink 2 drums of mbege😁😅
Yeah!
MY COUNTRY! I love you brotha!
9:55 that Robot Pump Music 🤣🤣
I liked that disco gas station. Are you going into Myanmar ?
