Yeah, it was really late (or early in the day, depends how you see it ahaha), but that also meant that we could see the stars very clearly and it was beautiful 😍 Thank you so much for commenting by the way🤗

Thank you so much for your comment 🤗

Thank you so much 🫶

Namaste 🙏 Thank you so much 🫶

ahaha yeah, it was a bit shocking 🫣

It has definitely changed. It is now tailored for tourists. We still managed to find some quiet places and enjoy the beautiful island, but it is not what it used to be

@@carmaadventures I sure you can still find amazing places, such an awesome island, great surf everywhere too

Thank you so much 🫶

We had to at least try it ahaha

Thank you so much for your comment. It means a lot! 🫶

@@carmaadventures thanks

mmm... not sure ahaha. wdym??

it's not really a local rule, it is a company policy. This specific temple is owned by a private company. In other local temples you are allowed to record (obviously as long as it is in a respectful manner without disturbing others).

@carmaadventures I appreciate that, but as someone who has travelled Asia for decades, these kind of debates create more tensions than get policies amended. If you want to see meaningful change, put down roots somewhere you love and work with the locals for better outcomes for both sides.

that was so offensive 🥺

Thank you so much for your comment! 🫶 For ease we have left the links of the hotels in the description. We hope you enjoy your time in Indonesia 🩵

ahaha Carma Adventures and were in Phuket

Later during our time in Indonesia we ended up learning the name and it was also one of Max's favourite fruits

Farouk! Nice to see you on TH-cam 🫶

no problem 🫶

We hope you really like it 😍🤗

Thank you so much MrCotto 🫶 The old town looked beautiful and we had a great time 🩵

Wow, this comment is very heart warming and it has not only made our day but our week 🥹🤗 Thank you so much for your support and we hope you enjoy our upcoming videos 🫶🩵

Really? Thank you so much for your information 🫶

We loved Nepal. Thank you so much 🫶

@@carmaadventures ❤️❤️❤️❤️

ahaha 🫶

Carol said why after she said I'm offended 😐

sorry, where is the disrespect in this short?

@@carmaadventures If ur offended by women not being allowed in the temple, then don’t come in the first place, why film a video, just to tell everyone we are wrong? and then try to lecture us on how we should follow ur Western ideologies? like feminism, human rights, individualism, woke culture, DEI? you guys not doing any better than us, especially with what happening in Gaza, with the genocide in Israel. Sick of Westerner double standards

Jacky, I think it has been blown out of proportion. We visited a temple, Carol couldn't go in, Max went in, end of story. There is no lecture, simply read what it says. Also saying you guys is very broad when we are from different continents (Can you guess where we are from?😃). We respect an enjoy Asian cultures 🙏

Thank you so much 🫶

thank you so much. Chiang Mai is beautiful 😍

We loved Vietnam, is one of the most beautiful countries we have seen. You should feel lucky of the country you have 😜 We are Brazilian and Spanish 🤗 Thank you so much for you comment🫶

The plan was to film around the temple not inside. Also, this temple is not typically used by locals, it's more for tourists to appreciate the beautiful design/ architecture.

@@carmaadventures what do you mean 'not typically used by locals'. Of course it is. It's a temple. It was designed by the National Artist for Thai people.

That's what a local from Chiang Rai mentioned to us in a conversation

you are

We don't film for work. TH-cam is our "book of memories" and some people watch and some others don't. We don't live from this. Is 90% of the population Instagramer for uploading posts to Instagram? Does that mean that that is your job? Are you saying that everyone that has a professional camera has a job taking pics/recording? If you watched the whole video we mentioned several times that we understand it's not her fault, and in several occasion we said about leaving but the lady continued the convo (not in a rude way at all). Yet again, we said it is a beautiful temple, and we recommend people visit it, but this video is mainly to record our experience and maybe other people that go with cameras and mics can be prepared.

@@carmaadventures calling yourself a TH-camr implies you do it for work. Most of the population wouldn’t consider themselves TH-camrs even tho they use it. You even asked the worker “if we post a video and we are earning money from that video.” And when the worker said yes. You went no and asked for a refund. And just cause you didn’t say anything rude doesn’t mean you didn’t have a rude attitude. You continued to argue with her about the wording of the contract knowing she couldn’t do anything.

I guess the difference is that we work hard but we don't do it for work. It's easier to say that we are TH-camrs rather than explaining that this video will end up on TH-cam. At the end of the day, if you read the contract it mentions ads. TH-cam places ads on your videos regardless if you monetise or not. We never said that the fact of having a contract is the issue, but we won't give ownership of our work to others and that contract also didn't make sense. As the lady said, we had a professional camera. No where in the contract says to single out people with professional cameras nor microphones (she also then added followers and subtitles which is also not in the contract). In fact, it says that even people taking still images and photographs and uploading it to social media would have to sign that. We were trying to understand why we were the only ones singled out when other people also had professional cameras, tripods, and were clearly taking vids. I don't recoil this conversation being heated nor angry, simply confusion from both parties

@@carmaadventures the camera was a way for them to deduct that you might do social media for monetary gain. And the contact does not have to state what criteria they use to ask you to sign it. You said it yourself TH-cam slaps ads on your videos anyway. They might not want ads to run that don’t align with that of country or the temple and most TH-camrs have sponsored videos. And again you don’t have outwardly rude to be rude. You can be passive aggressive or dismissive the tone in you voice and your body language.

I think the camera is something irrelevant now a days. I'm sure you have seen big and actual TH-camrs filming with their phones. When they claim the rights it means that all monetary gains (in this case non) will go towards them. but regardless, I think you read to much into the voice and body language. It is a conversation where we are trying to understand what's going on. But at the end of the day, to reiterate, this is our experience and we share it for other creators to understand what they will need to address if they wish to record at this location 😊

ahaha to be honest, having quiet streets in London is good. We like rain, but because it means that we can by cozy inside our home 😍 ahaha

Muito Obrigado Liam 🫶 🩵

Thank you Arnold 🫶

Did they taste like French fries? ahaha To be honest, we were speaking with some Thai people and they said they would eat insects some times instead of peanuts (as a snack). That's really interesting, we didn't know we could ask for it not to be sweet. Thank you so much for your comment 🫶
