What a brilliant job you have done creating and delivering this video Chai, again making use of the knowledge of the local people to explain the event. From that, and on the move, I can't imagine how difficult it would be talking to the go pro and keeping track of what you are saying and what next to cover, walking around with so many people everywhere shoulder to shoulder and all the drums and music happening around you whilst scaling up and down hundreds of stairs and watching out for thieving monkeys at the same time. Legendary stuff, great location and a fabulous most enjoyable if not painful looking ritual. You have done the Malays proud. Well done champ 🤩
It was truly a special day to be there. The smells, music, people and the surroundings made it something I’ve never experienced before. I’m super grateful I was able to make a video of it 😁 cheers mate 🏆
Chai thanks for sharing such a lovely video capturing Thaipusam ceremony. Excellent job & keep moving!👍❤🎉
Your most welcome 😁 it was grate to be able to film that day 🏆❤️cheers
Hello Chai thank you for capturing this magnificent Thaipusam festival so enjoyable to watch, Take Care Stay Champ.
Hi Sue 😃 I’m glad you enjoyed this one as it’s one of my favorite on so far 😊 thanks again! I see you’ve been catching up de videos 😜 have a great evening and stay champ 🏆💪
Wow - Amazing time to visit Batu caves - surrounded by a spectacular festival - Well done getting some info from the local man 👍 and look at the foood 😋 - Nice work Champion 👋🙏
Thanks mate 😄 the local gent was definitely a good man to have at the start :) always a pleasure and you know it. Thanks for watching again 😊 cheers 🏆
Been a long time since I've watched a Thaipusam festival especially the Kavadi carriers in real life. We used to follow them around when we were kids back here in my hometown during the festival. I think we follow around every single festival march even the lion dance back then 😆 Thanks for the video of this colourful celebration, Chai. Brings back a lot of childhood memories
That’s so nice of you to say. Such a big compliment ❤️ (haha the lion dance😂) have a good day 🏆
Great video. You covered Thaipusam, probably missed the Chinese New Year earlier in late January? Do cover the Eid (and few last days of Ramadan before Eid) between 20th - 25th April . Then you have covered the main celebrations of the main races (Indian, Chinese, Malay) in Malaysia. There are some more celebrations in East Malaysia too.
She sold you 2 because it's easier to sell without having to give coins change. It's common in Malaysia to round up your buy. No ulterior motive most of the times.
Aaah too easy. They were very tasty anyway 😊thanks for watching
Glad I re watched this 7 months on. It would be good if somehow all these videos could go back into circulation rather than tucked away in archives that the youtube world of people rarely come across unless they actually, like myself, went looking for it. Cheers champ.
Haha yes mate! I wish there was a way to do so. Maybe I’ll give it a little chance in title and thumbnail and re post it again for the next time
Very exciting and colorful festival. 😄 I'd love to be in the middle of it all.
Man, this was definitely a special experience 😍 thanks for watching 🤗
Thank you so much. This helps my head injury. Memories and stuff like that
Haha you’re welcome :p I hope you enjoyed it

beautiful video and so interesting. Like a mini Kumbh Mela.
Thanks Christian :) I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 😁
thank you so much...
Thank you too ❤️
That was indeed a very colorful video. Those multi colored steps with the massive crowds of people moving about was my favorite part. And it looks like Capitalism is alive and well mixing with religion.
A lot of people were visiting that cave on that day 🤩 we were one of them. I was a good mix ;) thanks for watching also when I’m outside on Thailand 😁
One vlog was in penang. 3 in batu caves
I dont know if Tamil Nadu there also celebrate, but Malaysia certainly will be celebrated by the people
Loved it 0:09
Thanks 😊 have a good day
ok

Murugan is God of war
If I'm not mistaken, the Hindus broke the coconuts not because the pavement is hot and it can cool the sole of their feet. They broke the coconuts as offerings to the gods.
That’s true as well. I have to say a local friend told me this. It’s definitely an offer.
If you have ever seen the vegetarian festival in Phuket, you know Hindhus aren't the only people who make themselves suffer.
I was at some festival in krabi years ago not knowing what was really going on. That might have been the same festival? Christianity has is some parts of the world also something where they suffer i think. I’m not very familiar with it but I find it interesting:)
@@Chai_Travelfilipinos crucify themselves in philippines
@@Chai_Travel At the vegetarian festival people pierce their cheeks with all kinds of things, from sticks to needles to swords. Looks really scary and painful.
That’s it. I remember my host from the guesthouse was saying they do this to scare the demons away of the town. I’ve never factchecked it though. It definitely looked impressive
Theres one in Iran too.
Not his birthday, Thaipusam is a day which Lord Murugan gets his weapon from His mother to kill the demon. He is God of War, so his devotee prepare themself to be his warrior to kill the demon within us like “our own bad habits” without eat non vege talk less clean and without lust or sex. So people proof themself they are ready for the battle show they are painless infront of him and settle their vows to him like kavadi, needle stick, carry milk pots.
Chai, Thanks for the show. The lady who sold you the curry puffs literally ripped you. Paying RM3 for two pieces of shrunk curry puff is bordering on insanity ! She could have offered you without charging anything cause it was an auspicious day and you being a foreigner. That would have been a very magnanimous gesture on her part given the significance of the day.
The temple management rips of the vendors. The vendors ripoff the tourist and others. Its a cycle. This will continue as its a family business striving upon religion
I didn’t mind :) I feel very grateful I was able to give her rm3. It was also very tasty so everyone is happy
To those who are asking why they are doing the needle thing in their tongues.
Disclaimer : if you think god murugar as the hindu religion portraits then it is not for you people :
Here it is:)
Murugan is a tamil god. He was a sidhhar which means he was also a warrior (that's why they are doing the needle thing that we should have the power to bare the pain and injuries caused by wars and and we should sustain in the battle to get victory. Still we are doing it to retain the history and thanking him that he was war god who did wars to protect tamil people) he introduced agriculture that's why green is represented for muruga, he did many good things to tamils in many ways, he was also called tamil god that he helped for the development of the language tamil to us.
Thanks for that extra piece of info 😁 super nice of you 🏆❤️ thanks matey
Now you know what is thaipusam. Ouch.
Great video Chai, I found it very interesting 🙂
Thank you Connie ☺️ this was definitely one of my favorites to make and also just being there was something I’ll never forget 😍 I’m glad I could share this experience. Thanks so much and have a beautiful day 😁
