I love that even though you showed the room of the grandma you didn't actually went inside. You could've just asked the grandma to barge in there (like others, just for the content 😏), but you didn't. That's total respect in there.
Yeh We aswell don't barge into anyone's room specialy in our son's and daughter in law's bedrooms unless the son or the daughter (in law) asks us to enter it is purely out of respect.
This is the part of Thailand that most people never experience. It's the old traditional way of back to basics life. I'm all for modernisation and technology but sometimes going back to the simple ife gives you perspective to life that makes you appreciate living much better
A bit of an exaggeration, but he certainly has an enjoyable enthusiasm that makes the videos more fun. Most of the places he visits speak for themselves in how fascinating or beautiful they are.
@@MarkAbroad I know you live to travel the world and experience different cultures but do slow down a bit during this pandemic . Your fans don't want to have you falling sick .
Such a cozy and tidy wooden house. It's actually quite large, so the family must have been well off. I love it. It reminds me of my grandparents home in the Philippines.
Mark...I really appreciate your style of fooding and vlogging. It's not just about streetfood and food tours...its about the people and how food brings them together. Please continue. These videos mean so much for many. For me....your videos remind me of my grandfather...he was my best friend and we made the best memories in his kitchen. Listening to him share his stories of the old days while he cooks us kids traditional Filipino meals that just warm the soul. Thank you for really sharing what these foods represent. It's more than flavor. It's what culture, traditional and home should taste like. Keep up the excellent work. You help bring the best of us back out again. Thank you to and your family.
Mark I rarely leave comments on your pages but just know that I watch and love all of them. You are my favorite food vlogger. Mikey Chen, Trevor, Sonny.... you have stiff competition but you remain my favorite. My best to the family.
You are so funny... you wiggled your toes when you added the 🌶 chilli. My husband and I do the same when eating comfort food. 🍲 so good that you travel with your family.
I'm from Esaan (a nickname for this region). My husband was born and raised in California and has worked in technology industry all this life - typical 30 something yuppie. When I took him to visit my family for the first time, it changed his view on life a lot. In his own word "people don't have a lot but they are so happy."
Mark loved this vlog and grandma still strong and doing everything cutting that coconut 😊 simple living, clean air, community base, thank you for sharing for your humbleness, heartfelt appreciation you show everyone and the respect you give to everyone, love to Ying and Micah❤
I look forward to your videos every week, Mark. They’ve opened my eyes to so much. I know that food is a huge part of what you do, but the way that you interact with and respect people is so inspiring. You’re truly making a difference in my life. God bless you and your family. Blessings from The Bahamas! 🇧🇸
You can just tell that the house is old by the way it was built and the wood that was used. That house is basically a part of history. It's just so beautiful
I'm so glad Mark showed this. Its so hard to find homes like this now. My grandmother had a home exactly like this, I have such good memories of this. She passed away when I was quite young, and after a long inheritance dispute, the land and her home was sold. Now its part of a football field for a local school.
'Chili in the morning is a must' - I like it. Mark, it is so good to see that you are still so grounded and continue to enjoy the simplistic lifestyle. This is one of the reasons why I keep coming back to your channel. They way you portray the basic way of living around various places in Thailand is inspirational. One day I plan to explore the beautiful Thailand your way.
Wow he’s such a trooper! He’s SO humble,kind and respectful to other people’s cultures. I visit my family in Thailand (dad’s side) for 2 months every summer break and I HATED those lizards on the walls/ceiling. It fell on me after I got out of the shower 😑
It appears a pleasant and open way to live, fresh air passing through the homes. There is a similar but smaller house an illustration of this built in one of the Biomes at the Eden Project in Cornwall, not far from where I live, and a typical family garden with vegetables/fruit growing.
Got to love the Thai way of life ,i can sit on my holiday balcony for hours watching close by thai Families /houses going about their daily jobs ... thanks for showing us mark .Best massages i found over the years are from the ladies that are in their (how do i put it) Latter years ☺..The strongest hands on such small people and know what they are doing ,and can be so lovely and funny at the same time also ❤
Things Mark Wien's vlogs taught me, it is always being grateful for anything, and appreciate for what Allah's being offered. I am happy that I've known a person like Mark Wiens. Kudos. Anyway I am a man of pride. but seeing this video made me realized that, the true happiness is the simple things you do and enjoying to do it. Thank you man.
This video reminds me of my first ever village visit to my wife's village in North Lakhimpur, India. My wife belongs to the Mising tribe and I could relate so much. What a humbling experience!
Oh Mark, I am I love with you and your family! Watching your videos make me appreciate all the little things in life. I am a big fan of humble people like you. Thanks :)
Looks similar to my youth with the grandparents and their traditional goodies. Nice to watch. It reminds me of the old days where 5 cents means a lot. Greetings from Suriname South America. Keep up & be safe!
It's so soothing and peaceful place to be....the greenery around....no hustle and crowd...fresh air and organic food...what a feeling...WoW!!!! Loved it
Awww sweet grand maa. Ya her room surly traditionally decorated. Food with crusted red chili flakes must b fiery. Beds with mosquitoes nets still being used in some parts of world so useful . Stay blessed Mark bro. Big fan . From Pakistan
Very often, we fall into the tourists trap. I really love it that you show the real realities of how locals in the village, without the conveniences that we often take for granted in North America.
This was a very very very interesting video and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great insight on living and the culture. The heritage and the insights of generation are marvelous.
Humble simple life is easier and I bet way cheaper. No waste. Some ppl cannot adjust to such but you do. Important thing is family health good food and less stress of living. You adjust well from USA to Thailand. It was nice to see a segment on your dad as well. I see Thailand thru your eyes as I will never be. Able to travel all over like you have . Fun videos real videos and your so appreciative of life and great that you go with family. Maybe some day put out a journey thru your eyes where you have been pics foods friends and life in Thailand according to mark. It would be a nice coffee table book. I mentioned a months ago perhaps covid inhibits your travel to explore local Thailand parks etc and you have done way past it the cottages out in the water over looking the land was nice.
With this pandemic and lock down I will take a vacation in this simple rural house anytime , with friendly people, good weather and food... so relaxing! Thanks Mark for sharing ...hugs from 🇨🇦 🍁 Canada!
I used to live in Myanmar for 5 years. Our rent house is a colonial style but my neighbor house is just like that house. Really bring back memories 😌. When it's weekend, I used to sleepover on my neighbor house. Play Nintendo and exploring the neighborhood just like Indiana Jones😌
Man, love your endless enthusiasm! Even during times that could be sketchy, you just keep grinning! As always, love the content. Keep up the good work.
Mark - What a beautiful place? looks so peaceful and tranquil, a place to take my family on vacation!! The natural foods and the warmth of the people!!Your son is having a great time. Great video!! Blessings
I love how he calls the females around the world "Auntie," and "Grama," as well as "Uncle, and "Granpa!" This ties them to their family for sure & makes it so good for their children to learn & grow! 😃
I showed my kids this and we were laughing at the 20 degrees part , you were sitting cold with a blanket on , here in Scotland 🏴 that is summer and we sunbathe in that heat . That is so warm to us 😂 absolutely love your videos 🥰🥰
I love how you show us the traditional way they locals live . that's why you have such a loyal fan base. No showing off and no unnecessary opulence.
100%
Thank you so much Coco.
@@MarkAbroad you're welcome 🙂
Some travel vloggers makes it all about them, but this guy does the opposite and shows off the amazing places and people. What a great channel.
-_-
I love that even though you showed the room of the grandma you didn't actually went inside. You could've just asked the grandma to barge in there (like others, just for the content 😏), but you didn't. That's total respect in there.
That was respectful to me also not to have a filming team traipsing through her bedroom.

Fully agree, and so much we can learn.
I swear, Mark can talk about old beat down crack house and make it seem like luxiourious mansion. The positivity vibes are there!
I swear!
Mark respects everyone.
A bit of an exaggeration, but he certainly has an enjoyable enthusiasm that makes the videos more fun. Most of the places he visits speak for themselves in how fascinating or beautiful they are.
@@AwesomeFish12 nope no over exaggeration here. It's more of a compliment
Agree 😢❤ It's humbling.
My favorite part of the videos is Micah and his little voice you can hear in the background.
Thank you!
I love watching Mark, he is kind and humble and accepting of everything and everyone. Also, I love his smile
I agree with you.
We’ve literally watched Micah growing life for the past couple of years ♥️
Love his content. During this aweful pandemic, his vlogs are very soothing.
Appreciate it J, thank you for your incredible support. Hope you're doing well during this time.

Mark didn't care if the toilet had a flush..he was there for the experience n thats y ppl respect him so much
Could have been more traditional, they had a western style sit-down toilet, and not the squat down variety, although I'm sure he's familiar with both.
@@tjmctube lol

Beautiful words about life, thank you
I really like that you show us the way the locals live. It's such a great experience, you're truly an Thailand ambassador, promoting real life
I love the traditional way of life. It's so unique in this modern world. Thx Mark for sharing this with us.
Nothing like going to grandmas house 👵 🥰😇💋❣❤🤍💙
The video is refreshing seeing how simple they live in that historical house
Very nice showing old village culture of thailand
I love watching your videos!!! 🤩 thank you for showing us a little bit of Thailand 🇹🇭💖 love it! Greetings from Scotland 🏴
Thank you so much Keyla!
Would give up my flat in the UK any day for such a laid back simple lifestyle. Love that house!
Dude is so cool and calm...great content. Glad you found a way to keep your channels alive during the all those lockdowns around the world
Mark, your smile and laughter is contagious.
Such positive vibes!

Amazing, thank you. The part with Uncle fisherman was really awesome. These people are gems
Micah is loving it
You definitely have the most interesting and family oriented videos on TH-cam. Love them so much. Cheers....
Thank you Sean!
Wow he’s such a trooper! He’s SO humble,kind and respectful to other people’s cultures. I visit my family in Thailand (dad’s side) for 2 months every summer break and I HATED those lizards on the walls/ceiling. It fell on me after I got out of the shower 😑
This reminds me of my childhood. All my summer vacations were in the country area by my Nannie. I enjoyed all of them. Love this video.
I love how happy you are over the small things bro
Thanks for letting me travel and experience life through your eyes. I would love to do this trip!!
I stayed at the same kind of house when I was on vacation in Thailand! Such an experience!
My grandparents (maternal side) actually have the same layout of this house but more older back in '92.
Are there lizards
@@mimib1142 It's possible in rainy season.
How does one book a stay here? I would love to travel here
instablaster.
Food taste so much better when you cook it on an outside fire/stove...
It appears a pleasant and open way to live, fresh air passing through the homes. There is a similar but smaller house an illustration of this built in one of the Biomes at the Eden Project in Cornwall, not far from where I live, and a typical family garden with vegetables/fruit growing.
The level of education that Micah is getting is out of this world 👏🏻👏🏻🌎🌈
For a famous person, Mark lived a life of simplicity, enjoying the natural beauty of this world that God had to offer. Very humble human being.

Simplicity and ease of living the best life anyone can imagine ❤️
These pictures are pure gold! So authentic and real! Thank you for this amazing work
Amazing place to be with ur family and loved ones,such a peaceful place to be and away from the city life.
LOOOOVE THAILAND❤😍😍😍😍
I love the ambiance i enjoy watching
Would love to go somewhere from the hustle and bustle. Utter bliss.
Loved this one. This is where my mom's family is from. so many memories and I see it has not changed much since I was last there 15 years ago.
miss my hometown in the morning.. with the fresh air, roaster crowing, fresh food for breakfast, community gathering, the market, and much more...

Looks similar to my youth with the grandparents and their traditional goodies. Nice to watch. It reminds me of the old days where 5 cents means a lot.
