for me the best SEA country is 1. Thailand 2. Indonesia 3. Vietnam because the countries I mentioned have beautiful cultures and for Indonesia it has many cultures in every different place, it is truly very rich in culture. i really like it😘
Indonesian here, thanks man. but as Indonesian don't know why I like Thailand so much, I've been there 3 times, in one same place haha.. the only problem for me is finding halal food. I like the people so much especially in Phuket, o man I miss them a lot but unfortunately no direct flight to.
I love South East Asia and I have visited 7 countries (Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia). My absolute favourite is Malaysia, then it is Thailand and Indonesia but loved Singapore and Philippines too
A suggestion since you want to visit Indonesia, land in Jakarta, explore the city. After that took either the Woosh or the Panoramic train to Bandung. Spend some times there then book the Executive train, stop and explore every major and small cities in Java, they are very clean and idyllic. After that cross the channel by ferry to Bali.
@@Chai_Travel Java actually has a very developed and matured railways system, it has been around since the Dutch colonial era and keeps improving in the modern days.
@@Chai_Travel Or maybe you should start from serpong city is near Jakarta airport. Then try commuter train serpong - sudirman. Stay in South Jakarta then to bandung. Explore Java mountain area from bandung go to dieng magelang boyolali and then solo
It all depends on each of the foreign tourist's experience. How well they are connected to the attractions, vibes, charm, beauty from the places, people, food, art, culture, festivity, tradition and history.
My most favorite was always Singapore. Because I love electronics and it used to be a paradise for that. But now my favorite is Thailand, because my wife is from here and I like to live here.
@@Chai_Travel Not where I live (Hua Hin) 😂😂. A nice place, but a bit backwards if it comes to interesting gadgets. Bangkok (Pantip) knew more interesting times as well. Probably a lot moved to other places...now I relate more to Lazada or shopee...
Indeed , if you can spend multiple months in south east Asia or one country in SEA for a few months it can give you a real appreciation of the lifestyle which country is preferred 🤩 - Thanks my friend - great interviewing ✔️😎✌️👋🙏
These interview videos are all really good . There's always interesting feedback and valuable information being shared by all the interviewees. Gr8 work Chai. 🤩
Singapore - too expensive, many rules, Bangkok - too Chaotic, full of scammers, Hanoi- lovely, best cheap food, Cambodia - not a fan, Malaysia is my favorite - It is well-balanced
Great interviews Chai. It's very interesting that The Philippines aren't mentioned often. I think it would be an amazing place to go and it's definitely on my bucket list❤🙏
I'm from The Philippines and it is a great country and alot of great places to see that is more than Boracay and Mayon Volcano. Most of them who have visited had a great time! Even popular vloggers such as Drew Binsky rate it as no.1!
Thanks Connie ❤️ it’s a little out of the way. And to visit a lot of places means you have to fly or take boats a lot and that’s maybe why most people skip it. It’s a shame as it’s so beautiful. I’m looking forward to go back some day :)
Chai, are you free this Sunday, Oct 27 from 3 pm? There will be a royal barge procession from around Rama 8 Bridge to Wat Arun. The king will be offering monk robes as part of the end of the Buddhist Lent. 52 barges and 2,399 oarsmen w/ the main barge, the Golden Swan, being 130 yrs old bulit during King Rama 5 and completed King Rama 6. The procession is 1.28 km long. It's going to be spectacular! Doesn't happen too often. Last time was during King Rama 10's coronation 4 yrs ago.
Thanks so much! Unfortunately I won’t be in Bangkok anymore this Sunday 🥲 I hope we can see someone making a vlog there on TH-cam. Unfortunately it’s not gonna be me :(
Best to own property in Malaysia and travel around to other south east Asian spots whenever it's air quality, season, political , natural catastrophe and many other factors. It's more logical all around.
@@Chai_Travel : i know that man.. but it civil war.. not country againts country.. their people (myanmar people) have to deal and solve that matter by them self.. it means peace amongs neighbor in the region.. but you know in the future it might be a wars in south china sea between US vs china, using us as their pawn... we tried our best to prevent that stupid war..
Malaysia & Indonesia are blood brothers.. before colonialism they are a part of the huge Nusantara region rule by difference rulers .. then come the British n Dutch…
Yes they are Brothers. Learn about Islamic Kingdom in Demak Central of Java, sent the troops for several Times to Malaka to help Malaka to kick away Portuguese. Javanese Moslem died at that time to help their brother in fate in Malaka, it's about 1600 C.

I think all SEA countries have many similarities especially at friendliness and welcoming attitude. the rest it really depends on what you prefer the most.
For me i personally like Bangkok ❤ a lot , physically I'm in Mumbai India but mentally I'm in Bangkok 😂 roaming around here and there. Missing Food 🍲 the chaos everything
I didn't like the Lithuanian guy's use of words "if you're from Western countries or more civilized countries". 🤣Does he understand what "civilized" means? Just China has a 5000 year old civilization and is more advanced, has the largest banks and companies in the world, has the most futuristic infrastructure, has the most skyscrapers in the world and is richer than the entire EU. Just Tokyo is the richest city on earth and light years ahead of any Western city. Asia has the lowest crime on earth, cleanest cities, most advanced companies from AliBaba to Pinduoduo to Byte Dance - that is the real definition of civilized, not the crumbling and poor economies of the West. Even countries like Thailand, which is considered 3rd world has a way more sophisticated culture than any Western country, but he still deems it as uncivilized. He seemed like a nice and interesting guy until he said that, then I thought he must be out of his mind.
Honestly, I felt offended in a way as well. That's incorrect of him to say "civilised". I think what he meant was western countries as (developed) countries. He should be careful.
@@flaneurnz Possibly, but I think civilized is just another way of saying "superior" to him. I doubt it was a Freudian slip but rather his true intent. I would argue that much of Asia is also way more advanced and developed than most of the Western world so I'm not sure if "developed" would've even been more accurate. Thailand is a "developing" country but it is also richer than the vast majority of European countries, with way more skyscrapers, state of the art condos, malls, restaurants, cafes etc - it is much sleeker and more modern than most European countries outside of the main Western European economies. Like he's from Lithuania, a relatively poor country but just kind of loops himself in with the other rich Western European countries and says "but I'm international" etc almost as if he is embarrassed, so it's a combination of the words he chose that make me suspicious. I mean are you going to seriously compare Lithuania to Singapore, China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia etc? There's no remote comparison, just the thought of suggesting Lithuanians go to ultra advanced, spotlessly clean, virtually crime free, high commerce places like Osaka or Shanghai or Singapore or Kuala Lumpur and be open minded to learn about how to live an uncivilized life just because they're not White is comical to me. Meanwhile places like London, Paris, San Francisco, NYC etc are full of crime, garbage, stabbings, shootings everyday, people strung out on tranq, mentally ill people, migrants camping out in tents hanging their laundry to dry etc. You don't see any of that in "uncivilized Asia".
I think could be his English command in choosing the right word,but mind you Lithuania is not that developed compard to Western European countries as the country is ex USSR and just joined EU not far ago. I have been to Vilnius, Lithuanian capital city and the city feel a bit gloomy due to Soviet Union grey buildings, some people are friendly but most of them feel they are better than other races mostly non white. It could be their mentality. Many of the young generation migrated and working in Western Europe mostly Germany and the UK.
All conutries in SEA is the best and various..Chai, i m Indo, but migrated and studied in M’sia since i was 4yrs old..if you come to Kuala Lumpur,,hopefully we can meet..many to shares😅
There are many countries in southeast Asia that are wonderful in so many ways… the people, the food, the culture, the low, low, low cost of living. But none of that matters much if as a retiree you can’t afford to stay there to enjoy it. After retiring and living in the Philippines, Cambodia, Thailand and only visiting Malaysia, I’ve found that Cambodia (here 2 years now) is by far the EASIEST and cheapest country to retire in. Thailand is even nicer but Immigration is very tricky and complicated and can be expensive: A $24,000.USD deposit in your newly-opened Thai bank is just one hurdle. Reporting to Immigration every 90-days for life is the other inconvenience. Malaysia’s MM2H retirement visa is even more expensive. Vietnam has NO retirement visa.
@Chai_Travel ah ok mate 👌 when I've watched your vids I never really noticed to be honest which I suppose is good thing lol but yes it's good for you to visit your mom's country and explore your roots
most travellers are incredibly shallow and boring : "I've been there, I've been there, I've been there . . . we never hear in-depth observations. you come from the other side of the world and claim that you've been there and there and there. is it true ? have you actually been there ?
I think you shall/should interview with different type of level of travelers in different race opinion instead of just picking up with most of them a budget and westerner type of travelers only seen not very fair towards different countries to share about.
I may be wrong, but it seems like a lot of tourists are avoiding the Philippines. Maby it's just not a first choice destination?? I'm wondering why that is.
@@Chai_Travel it is more the location and distance. You can cross from Vietnam through Thailand via Cambodia and then head to Malaysia and Singapore. The Philippines does not have any land borders.
If u want a wild cheap time its thai and philipines, if u want downthrotten its myanmar, cambodia and laos, u want a sanitized country its Spore, for family its msia and indonesia and vietnam can be all
Just wait until you can visit freely! It will eclipse any other SEA country you have visited for unspoiled beauty and welcoming people. Have to admit it's not the right time at the moment, though.
@@Chai_Travelif thats the case, Bali should be the least visited tourist destination in SEA since its way further from anywhere else except Australia, but as a mater fact, Bali alone receives way more tourists than the whole Phil islands combined lol
@@Chai_Travel I'm flying to Manila in January, then to Thailand, Vietnam and back to Thailand! Hopefully around 3 months in total. I found that opinions are mixed on the Phillipines, but I'm seeing more and more vlogs about it where the people are having an amazing time! So that's why I decided to go. I was planning to go to Indonesia, however the rainy season put me off. Thanks!
@@novendrayuza2031may I remind you tho that BALI IS NOT A COUNTRY. 😂 Its in Indonesia which isnt far from the rest of SEA nations. To talk about it as if its like a secluded country is dum/b.
I live in Indonesia these days (Not Bali, as I like traveling around the archipelago) but personally it is still Thailand my favourite SEA country, but id say Indonesia is a close second, the hardest thing about South East Asia is you can only be at one place at a time to truly get a grasp and get to know a country. I think my main reason for loving Thailand the most is probably due to the fact it was the first SEA country I visited, and I fell in love with the food there, but in general all countries in South East Asia have amazing food, like I love Indonesian and Vietnamese food, but since it was not the first place I visited here, it doesn't have the same meaning in my heart, with that said, it's my favourite region in the entire world, the people and the diverse cultures they have just make it an absolute joy to live and travel around here. If it was for someone who doesn't have a lot of time to explore, id just tell them to go visit Bangkok, Phuket or Bali to be honest as they are basically set up for tourists, anyone with more time then it is good to get off the beaten track and explore :)
for me the best SEA country is
1. Thailand
2. Indonesia
3. Vietnam

If it was for someone who doesn't have a lot of time to explore, id just tell them to go visit Bangkok, Phuket or Bali to be honest as they are basically set up for tourists, anyone with more time then it is good to get off the beaten track and explore :)
