Wow …I'm so glad that you came to visit Chiang Mai. I have been following your channel for a long time and watch every clip. Never miss it. Wish you a happy trip.
What a beautiful sight seeing tour in Chiang Mai, with lots of good tips for visitors. Bad luck with the scooter, but the situation seemed to be solved fairly quickly after all.... I adore the buddhist temples and sanctuaries, thanks for showing them!
I was in CM a few weeks ago and I thought the city was in a bad way. A drive around the moat road and you see so many (50%+ shuttered businesses). Thae Pae road is a similar story. A walk through the night bazaar….well, it is hard to believe it was a night bazaar as there were so few stalls. There was a new area that had plenty of food stalls and that did look good and vibrant. The old inside night bazaar (the one with green shutters) had only 1 stall open at 9pm. The rest were nearly all for rent. CM definitely isn’t dead but lots of well known and established businesses have closed for good. It is hard to see how it is going to recover quickly.
@@Iceyfire12 Right now if someone asked me whether they should visit CM I would probably advise against it. I really hope that changes as the CM I first visited in 1993 was a fantastic place.
The comedian is Note Udom. Funniest comedian (and most famous) in the whole country. Love him. He is also very generous to the village I live in. He donates buffalos regularly.
Love your vlogs and how down to earth you both are, especially when you were sitting on the grass eating street food in Ramkhamheang market and by the road side in Patpong morning market. We’re going to BKK next Friday! and can’t wait to go around and eat all the food on my list 😂. One thing though, be careful on the road in Thailand especially you are riding on the bike. Apart from that, have a great time, keep up the great work and keep exploring the amazing country and culture 😊
Thank you for a fabulous video! I was worried about the white shirt at the eatery. Bad luck with the parking ticket! I look forward to checking out your psst vlogs and future ones. Thete is such a calmness about you both. 🤗
I've watched your clip and it's very refreshing. You make Thai people love you so much. because you are always in a good mood Ready to make clips that are interesting and interesting to follow. Please stay healthy.
First meal on arriving in Chiang Mai, for me, has to be Khao Soi, with som tam and sai eua on the side, and if there's room for it - follow up with some hung ley. Then I really know I'm back in the north 😁
Hahaha, I've been riding a motorbike throughtout my whole life and never been got a traffic ticket until I moved to Chiang Mai and I got 2 tickets in one week. LOL Congratulations you're officially in Chiang Mai. I recommend you to try beef noodle Rod Yiem, it's amazing and a dessert there is good too.
I miss Chiang Mai! I was there for 6 weeks in February & March, and it was definitely still Covid times and not many tourists. Khao Soi Maesai was around the corner from my apartment, and I got takeaway from there many times, great. (But always chaotic-I often had to finally ask where my food was.😂) And Wat Chedi Luang was probably my favorite temple, along with Wat Sri Suphan (the Silver Temple). I can't believe they ticketed you and clamped the scooter tire! I'm pretty sure that's the first time that's every happened in CM, people park anywhere they want usually.🤭
@@melissamay7778 I rented an apartment through airbnb. It's cheaper to wait until you get there and then find an apartment, but I still only paid about $400 in Nimman.
@@melissamay7778 That's not how I did it, but that's how you can save money. Find the neighborhood you want to live in and then walk to each apartment building and ask for prices and tours. Even if you're only staying for one month, they'll usually rent to you that way. The price for one or two months is higher than if you stay for 6-12 months, but still reasonable compared to western prices.
Gosh, you are making me miss Chiang Mai. Love the prices (always) and the food is fantastic. Khao Soy Maesai is my FAVORITE spot for Khao Soi! The queue for it was crazy and glad it remains busy. They deserve the business. As for temples, of course I've visited both but crazy about Wat Phra That Doi Kham. If you've not been there, check it out. A mini version, colorful version of Doi Suthep.
At 2:05, you wondered what the advertised show was about. There is a famous Thai comedian, named อูดม แต้พานิช (Udom Taepanich), nicknamed โน้ส อุดม (Note Udom, with "Note" being the Thai pronunciation of "Nose"). He has a new special on Netflix. It is a stand-up comedy routine, in Thai, and it is very funny. If you want to watch, search for "Deaw 13, Thai stand up comedy".
I am so glad I found your channel! We are heading to Chiang Mai at the end of the year with my kids. How is the weather there now? Is a thick jacket needed? Thank you so much for your reply. You both enjoy the city.
This was unrelated to licences, since it was about parking but yes, you’re meant to have an international drivers license and will likely be fined if you’re caught without one.
Hello friends Refer to questions about the words WAT and J-D. Your question is a good one. Even the younger Thai Buddhists use it wrongly. here is the answer Wat = wad = is a term for religious places of Buddhism in Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. It is the residence of the monks. and perform the religious activities of the Buddhists Inside the temple there is a viharn, chapel, sermon hall, crematorium, which is used for performing various religious ceremonies such as circling the candles. Buddhist Chanting, Meditation. Pagoda = J-D = refers to a Buddhist building built to contain ashes. or to enshrine Buddha images or as a souvenir This may be because in the later period, there would have been a place to contain the relics. and to worship and remember together
Welcome back to Chiang Mai. I hope we run into you both again this time around. Maybe we will see you at Sunday walking market tonight? If not I hope you guys enjoy the Non-COVID version of Chiang Mai.
@@2Passports1Dream Sorry we missed you. I have lived in Chiang Mai for 14 years and enjoy this awesome city everyday. Enjoy your next destination and looking forward to the next video. Safe Travels!
@@Entrust_TEFL Hi Patrick .. we will definitely see you .. we arrive November 2 after a visit to Bangkok (need to get over the jet lag) and are thinking of just staying in CM .. more our style of travel rather than jumping around everywhere …
@@melissamay7778 First thank you for the personal reply. Jet lag, where are you guys now?... lol I will also be in Bangkok over the weekend as I am receiving another teaching award from the Ministry of Education at the Teachers Council of Thailand, but will also be back in Chiang Mai on November 2nd. We bought a guesthouse last time we saw you both. The guesthouse is in the old city, so i am sure we will see you guys walk by either at Sunday Market or Zoeys...lol
@@Entrust_TEFL congrats!!! How exciting … we are in europe and making our way through Amman as Dubai is too busy due to F1, UFC you name it !!! Will be in Bangkok Saturday and will hit the market Sunday !! Maybe we will see you in CM. Hope to find something to rent for a week or two or ??? LOL
Great late morning coffee 👊 And so many beautifull places to see in Chiang Mai, enjoy and thanks for sharing 🙏 Funny that you didn't run into Chai, my fellow Dutch guy who is a TH-camr making many vlogs from his base Chiang Mai 🤔 well who knows you will run into him and his girlfriend one day 😊 Kaw Soi is one off the best foods 😋 And as always, C Ya in the next one Adriana & Dylan, cheers 🙌🍻🍹
Wat Chedi Luang is def my favorite. I could spend a year in Chiang Mai and maybe see all the temples. I watched a man recoat the reclining budda my last trip. Cool to photograph. Enjoy your trip!
a bleu sign with red circle with one stripe means no parking , a bleu sign with red circle with an X is no parking or standing still , even if you cannot read thai the sign is universal throughout the world , the police can probably see if its a rental bike or a personal transport wish doesnt help getting away with it either (btw you need an international driverslicence to ride the bike , getting stopped and not being able to show this allso means a fine and posibly the inpound of the motorbike where some cash changing hands can have you riding on happily , rental bikes often dont have insurance either so be realy carefull and see if the insurance can be dealth with using youre travel insurance
Have you guys been the Kanchanaburi regions (River Khwae or Khwai from the movie)? I figure you must've from your previous lengthy Thailand visit but I don't recall.
Wat is a name in thai. That is all. It means temple complex or monastery. Eg shoalin temple in china. A stupa is similar to candi. Candi is used in buddhism and hinduism. They can be stone temples or places to store remains of important people eg priest or kings. As far as i know, stupas (smaller than candi) were used to store buddha's relics or remains as requested by him before he passed away 2500 years ago.
Loved the vlog, very informative. I'll be visiting Chiang Mai myself in the coming month for around 10 days, which area should I pick for my accommodation? From what I've searched so far, the old town area seems to be the most recommended one.
- White bar alternates red - absolutely prohibits all kinds of parking. - White stripes alternate yellow - Do not park all kinds of cars between the specified boundaries. except for stopping the shuttle bus or deliver within a short period of time - Black and white stripes - Do not park because it is the point where the car is constantly moving. But if the parking is not long and you are in the area where the car is parked, it can be done and should be parked around the edge of the footpath as close as possible. For a circle sign where you show a parking ban. There are generally two types in Thailand. It is forbidden to park all the time. And another way is not to park on days ending in odd numbers, such as 1-3-5-7. Do not park with an even number ending 2-4-6-8. You can notice it from people. but don't trust people Because sometimes they are breaking traffic laws as well. The price you pay the police is the price that Thai people pay. It's the same. If it's a car, the fine will increase, which is 1000 baht. Suggestions for me to tell you Because I have been fined by the police many times for these things. - Any place that is not a public area, you can park easily. The method is to ask people in the area if they can park. Most people will nod. That means it's safe. - In the temple, if you are near the temple, this is the best place where you can park your car for a long time without worrying. About paying fines in Thailand I give an example of the year 2020. There is a written police order that Thai people do not pay up to 13 million. Almost everyone in this country has been like you. Don't be surprised, haha.
We just left CM and did a few vlogs on it. While we was there we got stopped by the police on the moped and they fined us even tho we had all the right documents to drive. It definitely left a sour taste in our mouths but the ppl was so amazing and friendly. Really enjoyed the video guys ❤
That’s very frustrating! It’s definitely one thing that’s less than ideal… but luckily it’s outshined by all the other lovely things and people 🤗🤗 cheers guys!!
The bike shop may not have needed a passport, BUT if you are supposed to show that you have a current motor cycle license/international drivers/riders permit otherwise they cannot be legally renting bikes to you. Bike shops renting out bikes without siting a current license/IDP are putting tourists at risk of being fined and if they have an accident having insurance companies deny claims due to no license or helmet. So if you intend renting a motor bike do not do so without a license. So many get caught out . Far too many rent motor bikes without a license and with little or no experience riding a motor bike and it ends up costing them big time.
In this case it had nothing to do with our licence! It was because it was parked in the wrong area during the wrong time… but the sign wasn’t clear at all. 🤷🏼♀️
@@2Passports1Dream I understand that, I was pointing out other instances where tourists can be fined with regards to motor cycles and the pitfalls to avoid.
So sorry you got chained up! This exact thing happened to me once, in Vancouver. I didn't see a small handicap sign near the street parking spot. They towed my car and, all told, it cost me $275 to get my car back. Crazy. It's sometimes easy to miss these things, eh?
This is the difference between a pagoda and a temple. Pagoda (Chedi) in Buddhism is a building that is worshiped by Buddhists. Inside often contain valuable spiritual things such as the Buddha's relics. , Bones of the King or important person, amulets, etc. The temple is the residence of monks in Buddhism. It is a religious ceremony. Therefore, beware of acts that disrespect the pagodas and temples. Because Buddhists will oppose that action.
@@2Passports1Dream scamming tourist with motorbike is not ok, tje parking is one thing when there is a sign but they will sling that thing when they can no tourist is going to fight it. 10 seconds and the chain is off.
@@OurPaidVacation It’s time to make money after a long time of financial shortage. Police know how to get advantages from innocent tourists. Local people usually know what to do and what not to do.
Hey I'm currently in CM and was wondering about flying my drone in the city. Are you using a DJI app? I thought the inner city was basically a big no fly zone so the app won't let me take off but it seems to be working for you guys

Some people want to turn Thailand into a vast Protestant church and in a Muslim mosque.and they have deserted everything with zero fun. There is no comparison with our beloved Bangkok. Unfortunately, Thailand was spoiled by Europeans who were complacent with what they saw and returned to their homelands impressed. I wouldn't change Bangkok for anything, I love it.

Suggestions for me to tell you Because I have been fined by the police many times for these things.
- Any place that is not a public area, you can park easily. The method is to ask people in the area if they can park. Most people will nod. That means it's safe.
- In the temple, if you are near the temple, this is the best place where you can park your car for a long time without worrying.
About paying fines in Thailand I give an example of the year 2020.
There is a written police order that Thai people do not pay up to 13 million.
Almost everyone in this country has been like you. Don't be surprised, haha.
I just went back and looked at the circular traffic sign that you violated the rules.
It's a sign that says Do not park on odd days
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Have a nice trip in Chiang Mai ^^
Thank you so much 😍🤗
คุณเหมือนทำให้ฉันได้ไปเที่ยวด้วยเลย ขอบคุณ

We just left CM and did a few vlogs on it. While we was there we got stopped by the police on the moped and they fined us even tho we had all the right documents to drive. It definitely left a sour taste in our mouths but the ppl was so amazing and friendly. Really enjoyed the video guys ❤
That’s very frustrating! It’s definitely one thing that’s less than ideal… but luckily it’s outshined by all the other lovely things and people 🤗🤗 cheers guys!!
if you had your passport, an International driving licence, insurance from the rental and wearing a helmet, you cannot be fined, so did you ?
@@delboy8482 so you need an international driving license to drive a moped in Thailand ??
@@melissamay7778 yes sure

Happy in thailand
sorry to see you got in to the mess and hopefully it didn't rune your trip.
a question tho, dont you guys get sick from the ice cubes in the icecoffe? do you think it is safe to drink ?
We haven’t had any problems yet 🤗☕️
@@2Passports1Dream i hope you wont have it ever. nice video by the way :)
Do you rent inside or outside the city wall ?
The bike itself we rented from inside the city wall - a place called cat motors!
The day got off to a bit of a hectic start with an unplanned visit to the police station.
Yes it did! At least it was only 400 baht
😋
😀
The bike shop may not have needed a passport, BUT if you are supposed to show that you have a current motor cycle license/international drivers/riders permit otherwise they cannot be legally renting bikes to you. Bike shops renting out bikes without siting a current license/IDP are putting tourists at risk of being fined and if they have an accident having insurance companies deny claims due to no license or helmet. So if you intend renting a motor bike do not do so without a license. So many get caught out . Far too many rent motor bikes without a license and with little or no experience riding a motor bike and it ends up costing them big time.
In this case it had nothing to do with our licence! It was because it was parked in the wrong area during the wrong time… but the sign wasn’t clear at all. 🤷🏼♀️
@@2Passports1Dream I understand that, I was pointing out other instances where tourists can be fined with regards to motor cycles and the pitfalls to avoid.
This's my favorite black coffee place lol
Oh yeah?? 😍 we can see why!! So good!
So sorry you got chained up! This exact thing happened to me once, in Vancouver. I didn't see a small handicap sign near the street parking spot. They towed my car and, all told, it cost me $275 to get my car back. Crazy. It's sometimes easy to miss these things, eh?
Wow that’s a bit more than 400 baht!!
@@2Passports1Dream Most expensive date ever! 555
ถ้าตำรวจดูคลิปนี้อยู่ ควรมีป้ายจราจรภาษาอังกฤษ ไว้สำหรับนักท่องเที่ยวบ้างก็จะดีนะครับ ภาพพจน์ไทยจะได้ไม่เสียหาย ขอบคุณครับ
We didn’t mind, we understand that rules are in place!! Hehe can’t change them all just for tourists 🤗
@@2Passports1Dream thank you 😍
This is the difference between a pagoda and a temple.
Pagoda (Chedi) in Buddhism is a building that is worshiped by Buddhists. Inside often contain valuable spiritual things such as the Buddha's relics. , Bones of the King or important person, amulets, etc.
The temple is the residence of monks in Buddhism. It is a religious ceremony. Therefore, beware of acts that disrespect the pagodas and temples. Because Buddhists will oppose that action.
Thank you for the info!
เที่ยวไทย ไห้สนุกครับอยู่นานๆนะ
Thank you so much kha ❤️🙏🏼🇹🇭😍
I tried to get a coffee one minute before 10...she was already closing the shop :D But there is a second one :)
Hahaha oh no! She’s punctual, that’s for sure 😅
I have a 5$ lock picking kit works very well on the cheap locks in Chiang mai.
Haha imagine the police catching you doing that 👀👀
@@2Passports1Dream scamming tourist with motorbike is not ok, tje parking is one thing when there is a sign but they will sling that thing when they can no tourist is going to fight it. 10 seconds and the chain is off.
❤❤❤
❤️❤️
Can't belive they started locking up bikes again. So frustratating.
So, it means Chiang Mai has come back to normal.
Haha yes it’s not ideal 😅
@@weekdaycycling I guess, but not the best way. It's much the same here in Phuket, trouble with Police. Was hopeing they would stop that forever.
@@OurPaidVacation It’s time to make money after a long time of financial shortage. Police know how to get advantages from innocent tourists. Local people usually know what to do and what not to do.
Hey I'm currently in CM and was wondering about flying my drone in the city. Are you using a DJI app? I thought the inner city was basically a big no fly zone so the app won't let me take off but it seems to be working for you guys
There is a no fly zone in the city, but this was not in that zone. Old town is in the blue zone so you can fly there if you authenticate! 🤗
@@2Passports1Dream oh awesome, I tried it today around CMU and it worked, thank you!
@@2Passports1Dream Wish I knew that last week when I was there. Looked like a no-fly zone and my drone wouldn't take off there.
Oh, what a pity! Paying for ticket since morning.
Expensive morning!
Hey, you paid odd-even day parking charge. Me too (at Bangkok). Increasing your Thai experience, bro. Enjoy ! 😀
Hahah we feel more Thai ever day 😅😂

Some people want to turn Thailand into a vast Protestant church and in a Muslim mosque.and they have deserted everything with zero fun. There is no comparison with our beloved Bangkok. Unfortunately, Thailand was spoiled by Europeans who were complacent with what they saw and returned to their homelands impressed. I wouldn't change Bangkok for anything, I love it.
We love Bangkok too!
