We had such an amazing time in Thailand! Here's our Thailand playlist

Lee and Mandy, you guys have the best videos. It is so impressive how you become acquainted with each place you visit. Thank you for your hard work creating such informative AND inspiring pieces! You make it look so easy! Great idea on that sticky rice and Lee you’ll find your T-shirt. 😉
Thank you so much, our lovely friend! It is always so wonderful to hear such positive feedback, and you are always so beautifully positive, Caryn 😍🥰 Fingers crossed we can get together in Portugal soon xx ~ Mandy
Oh gosh - I LOVE that Banyan Tree!
Isn't it absolutely spectacular! Such a beautiful tree ❤😍
This deserves to be shared with the entire world!
Oh, that's so lovely. Thank you 🙏🤗
Wow Lee's mental arithmetic is on point! Will be in bkk mid Feb so I will not be lucking forward to the higher prices compared to Chiang Mai.
Are you ever worried about getting tummy issues eating street foods? That's my main concern and why I tend to stick to the food courts in the shopping malls.
Great video as usual
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Joby Chan!
There are still plenty of amazing food options in Bangkok at great prices... have you watched our Bangkok videos, as we found some great bargains!
Maybe we should have put them in a separate playlist? 🤔😁

In Thailand we always choose food stalls that look clean and popular with the locals, as we know that the Thai people are consummate foodies who value good quality dishes. We have never had dodgy stomachs eating street food or food from train vendors in Thailand... I'd be more wary of tourist restaurants! 😁😀
ข้าวเหนียวมูลคือข้าวเหนียวที่มีน้ำกะทิของมะพร้าวจะใช้กินกับมะม่วงสุก
ส่วนข้าวเหนียวนึ่งไม่มีกะทิจะใช้กินกับหมูปิ้งหรือส้มตำ รสชาติจะเข้ากัน😊😊
Ah, that makes so much sense! Thank you so much for sharing this information, and we look forward to trying Khao Sticky Mun the next time we return to Thailand 🤗🙏
I can't wait for that 2043 update!!
I'm pretty sure we'll still be watching Planet Imo and Shop with Imo in 2043, so will do a massive shout out to you then 🤗😁💯
Great video guys, I love seeing Mandy so excited and enthusiastic about the food. Prices sure are amazing, that's why I always stop off in Asia after any Europe holiday.😊
Thank you so much, Cindy. I was in my happy place during those 3 weeks in Thailand, as all we did was eat the most delicious food at such inexpensive prices, and wander around! Totally my idea of heaven 🤗😍 ~ Mandy
This video contains a lot of useful information and tips. I watched it twice. 😂 Good idea about the tupperware and plastic silverware. I like mango and sticky rice, great idea to make your own mango and sticky rice. WOW! The food and drinks are very affordable, all under $2. I agree with Mandy that I could eat Thai food all day, every day too. 😋 There were nice and interesting things to see on the streets by wondering around. Lee’s 20 year old shirt still looks good. Chala looks beautiful, but it looks expensive for me. I laughed so hard that Mandy had 2 bowls of soup (I would do the same thing) 😂 Lee was a good sport to help Mandy to finish the second bowl. 🤣 Thank you very much again for sharing tips and making fun and education video. I hope Mandy is doing well. ❤
I am so pleased you found this video informative, Sue 😁🤗 It's so wonderful to receive such lovely feedback, and we so appreciate your kindness and support 🙏😍 It's cool to hear that you would have had a second bowl of soup as well 😀😋 Thank you for asking after me. Next week there'll be a Bangkok Airport video, then one on Auckland, and then I'll start posting the videos from my Journey to Wellness series... of which, just one has been started, so I'd better get cracking 🤗🤣 I do hope you find something of value from that series 😍 ~ Mandy
Great video 📹 Lee and Mandy 😊🇹🇭
Thank you 🙏😁 We are glad you enjoyed it!
You guys are awesome, would have loved to meet you when we were there in October 2023
That's so lovely, Noel, thank you! It's always fun bumping into people on our travels 😁🤗
😍It's very useful.👍
🥰Thank you for sharing very nice video about Thailand sightseeing.👍
We are so happy you enjoyed this video 😁😀 Thank you so much for your lovely comment 🙏🤗
The white one in Yentofu is White Jelly Fungus
Oh, that's great to know. Thank you so much for sharing this information 🙏🤗
Love your videos. You show the entirety of the area that you are staying in.
We are very happy you enjoy them, Elizabeth. Thank you so much for your lovely comment and support 🙏🤗
You see- you are still travelling and living life ----
Life is amazing... it's so important to value every day. Thank you so much for your lovely comment 🙏🤗
At around the 30 seconds mark I had to do a double take of the footage - I was convinced there was a man in a cage behind your left shoulder, Mandy!
Hahhha... I watched it 4 times on my phone and couldn't quite see what you saw... but it was fun though 🤗😁🤣
Hi Mandy / Lee,
If you had to choose Bangkok or Chiang Mai, which one would you pick?
Them Banyan trees look fantastic / magical.
Mother nature makes interesting things.
Something that I've noticed it that most food you had were bowls of soup.
It is because it's the preferred meal in that part of Thailand or it because it's easier / cheaper for the street vendors to make?
Enjoy your week take care 🙋🏻♂️
Hello SERGIO!
That's a tough question, and I've been thinking about it all day. I absolutely love Chiang Mai for the cooler and more comfortable climate in winter, but the burning of the rice fields from March causes awful air pollution.
Bangkok is big and bustling, but if you have a room in a nice quiet spot, with close proximity to public transport, then it's such a fascinating city to explore, with just so many incredible food options!
I'd say I'd rather live in Chiang Mai, especially as it's so easy to walk around, but I'd definitely go and stay in Bangkok for a couple of weeks.
That's a great question re: the soups, and the simple answer is that I love noodle soup, and try to have at least 1 per day in Thailand! The next time we go, I will mix it up a bit, but I was just so happy to be back after 14 years!
I hope you have an excellent week. Thank you so much for your lovely comment 🙏🤗 ~ Mandy
Hi guys, great video as always. Quick question. What is your budget for 2024 including all items such as flights & travel? Also, what do you think a mid 50's UK couple would need in terms of annual budget to do similar travel lifestyle to yourselves? Lastly, have costs gone up over the past 12-18 months due to inflation and cost of living? Cheers :)
Such great questions, Ian! We haven't sat down and discussed any of these, and as we're currently each in our respective countries (NZ & UK) it's something that we'll be doing in February. I think it's a great idea for a video, so let me know if there are any other questions you'd like to ask,, and we'll make a stand alone 2024 Budget for Frugal Travellers vlog 😁🤗 ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers thanks Mandy. Also would be interested to know how you finance your travels, and do you invest in particular ways to generate income, eg stocks and property etc.? So a video on your investments and budgets for frugal travel would be awesome. You could include any money hacks you do to make the budget go further. Thank you so much :) x
@@ianwhittaker3041 Thank you, Ian! I've taken a screenshot of your excellent questions, and will let you know when the video comes out 🙏🤗 ~ Mandy
That Ice matcha🧋looked so good and the price was also reasonable (in west Europe it's like 3 or even 4 times more than that so not even worthy for just 1 cup). I love the message on the wall "adopt don't shop" are there many homeless dogs in Thailand?
Hello pocahoetaz 👋🤗 Thailand is certainly excellent value for street food and drinks - I think though that places like Starbucks are European prices... which is why we didn't go near them 😉😁 Yes, unfortunately there are homeless cats and dogs in Thailand, similar to many other countries we've travelled to, which is why it was so good to see and be able to share that mural. Thank you so much for your comment. It is always so lovely to hear from you 🙏🤗 ~ Mandy
It's probably a typo, they ment "Adopt don't Chop".. 🤨
Sorry bad humour, Thai people don't eat dog.
Thanks God, South Korea has just passed the law banning dog farming & do you g meat consumption.
@@SERGIO-cr6uy well I don't eat any of animals so I don't really care if it's a dog or a cow and that law starting in 2027. They will get rid of every single dog till that year :)
@@pocahoetazThis means you're a vegan, dont worry I'm not gonna debate on that as that's your choice.
That said, why don't vegans eat eggs? Hens produce eggs even without a rooster, meaning the eggs aren't fertelized / no embryos.
(Now you might say: it's animal cruelty to raise chicken for eggs)
@@SERGIO-cr6uy I think most vegans don't eat eggs because of how the birds are treated and even those "range free" aren't really free it's just a marketing to call them like that. Very disturbing. As a vet I know how slaughterhouses and dairy farms work and I'm glad I don't support any of these (myself). I respect everybody (and I don't tell people what to eat) just not those who are trying to convince vegans or vegetarians that their diet couldn't be healthy I've studied too long for arguing with those kind of people. You're kind and I was talking in general :) Have a great rest of the week!
Ah ha - so Mandy is left handed? It's the chopsticks that gave it away.
Both Lee and I are left handed... the cool club 😁😉🤣
Interesting. Oh no!😂
Hahhha... yep, always trying to be positive 😉😁🤣
Is this old video? How is situation of your breast cancer? Hope the treatment goes well.
Hello! Yes, we have been working through our Thailand footage, with the last 2 videos coming out Saturday and Wednesday... then it's 1 video from New Zealand, and then I'll be posting videos about my Journey to Wellness. Thank you so much for your kind words, and keep an eye out for those videos coming soon 🙏🤗 ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Thanks for the update, get well soon
