In this Thailand Travel Vlog we continue exploring around Chiang Rai in the north of Thailand. We were planning on renting a motorbike like we did the day before, however it wasn't possible to drive to the Golden Triangle on a bike due to all the rain! We ended up finding a cheap car rental which we paid 1,000 baht for the day and were able to take the car right then.
Our first stop was the Golden Triangle - where Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos meet! It was a really cool place that we were so excited we finally made it to!!! You're able to stand on the edge of Thailand and see all 3 countries at once! You can also take a boat ride between the three countries (although we chose not to as our day started much later than planned).
After the Golden Triangle, we drove over to the Tham Luang Cave. Although there was a lot of rain, it made the entire area so gorgeous and green!! We loved the scenery as we drove through the hills! The downside to all the rain was that the Thamluang Khunnam Nangnon National Park was closed! We were unable to see the cave that was made famous from the Thai soccer team that was trapped in it for almost 3 weeks in 2018!
After failing at seeing the cave, we continued to drive up the mountains toward the Pha Hee Village. We were shocked at how steep the drive was - with tons of rain and cliffs on both sides of the road! It was even scarier as the rain caused lots of mudslides on the roads that were being cleaned up as we were trying to drive.
We ended up stopping by the Life Museum Cafe which had the most amazing mountain views!! It made the drive worth it!
This was definitely one of the more difficult rainy season trips we've taken in Thailand, however it was still an amazing and memorable day!

เป็นอีกหนึ่งคู่รัก ที่น่ารักที่สุดในประเทศไทย 😊
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Hello, we are the owner of Sriwan Golden Triangle Restaurant, thank you for your visit.❤❤
Thanks for the comment! Such nice views from the restaurant!! 😍
Pha Hee village and places you visited in the vid were the former red zones / red routes for drug transport. Strange faces were not welcome back in the old days (40+ years) and you might be killed or just simply disappeared. Chiang Rai / Chiang Mai along the border line were the area the locals grew opium. But things had have changed, one of key reason was due to the late King Rama's 9. He introduced / encouraged the locals to grow sub-tropical agricultural products and abandon opium (eventually).
So crazy how different it used to be! That's great that the king encouraged people to change what they were growing! 😍
So crazy funny road trip 😂 floating landslide some places wass close out of service 😂 but you have enjoyed I wish you have a save nice trip ❤️❤️
🤣🤣 yessss it was definitely not what we were expecting, but we won't forget that day anytime soon!! lol
ขอบคุณคุณสองคนมาก ที่ชอบเมืองไทย ขอให้พวกคุณเดินทางปลอดภัยและเที่ยวให้สนุกนะ
Thank you! 🥰 our parents had a great time visiting us here in Thailand! 😍
@@NataliesPassport Thank you very much love you and parents
Welcome to Thailand 👍🌺🎈🌹❤️👫
Good evening! Thank you so much Natalie and Carles for visiting Chiang Rai which is my birth-place. Wish you the safe journey and happiest stay in our province.
That's such a cool place to be from! We had so much fun in Chiang Rai, even with all the rain! 😍
@@NataliesPassport : Hi, Good morning! If you are still travelling in the Northern part of Thailand, I think you shouldn't miss vistting Lamphun, too. During these "Loy Kra-tong festival" 100,000 lights lid in Lanna style paper-lanterns are beautifully hung covering the whole compound of the most famous and ancient temple in Lamphun (more than 1,300yrs old) making it the most beautiful place in Thailand during this Loy Kra-tong festival. The peak of the festival day will be on the night of Tuesday 8th, November.
@@rambodiehardwarrior749 That's amazing!!! I really wish we could go! Plus Nov 8th is Carles birthday 😍 but I have to work in Bangkok all week so I don't know how we could get there on a Tuesday night 😭😭😭
Thank you for trying to take us on a trip with you.
Thanks for watching! 🥰
I went to Chiang Rai about 4 Times. Chiang Rai is so cool. I recommended you to go to Chiang Rai between November and January. On the road between border Thailand and Myanmar, you can see the military officer check point because many Myanmar people fled to Thailand for find a job and also some of them bring drugs into Thailand. However this road is a famous tourism , you can find many good coffee shops because in this area, they plant the good arabica coffee tree as well known in Thailand.
Chiang Rai is really cool!! I'd love to drive that road again in better conditions as I'm sure the views would be amazing 😍 in the rain and clouds it was kind of scary lol
คู่นี้ก็น่ารัก🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍🇹🇭
Thank you! 🥰🥰
เยี่ยมครับ
Thank you 🥰
I love Chiang rai 🤗😍😉❤️
Amazing beautiful view
Thank you! We loved chiang rai too! 😍
ข้บรถได้จะเที่ยวสนุกขึ้นเยอะ ขึ้นดอย นอนแคมป์ ที่สุดของความสวย ยกให้โซน ผาตั้ง ภูชี้ฟ้า โดยเฉพาะภูชี้ดาว และเนิน 107
This trip was wayyy better in a car than it would’ve been on a moto!! Those mountain roads would’ve been so scary on a motorbike!! We actually wanted to spend the night on the mountain! But with the bad weather we decided just to go back to Chiang Rai 🥺 hopefully next time! 🤞
Actually this season good for traveling around but lot rainfalls ,driving safely guys
We still love traveling even with all the rain! Also...I think we're extra unlucky with our timing 🤣 At least rainy season is ending now! 🤗🤗
ตอนแรกคิดว่าคุณเพิ่งมาประเทศไทย ที่ไหนได้ มาอยู่เกือบปีแล้ว😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 that’s okay, people always say welcome to Thailand! 🥰🤣 lol
不错，加油。
Thank you! 🥰
Really incredible view 😘 take care for new experience and appreciate you 😍
The views up north are amazing!! 😍 thanks for watching!!
Great video. Drive safe and have fun guys!
Thanks so much! 🥰
Omgosh that mountain road was soo scary!! I don’t think I would like that drive even on a sunny day🤣. But super interesting with beautiful views❤️❤️
It would be SO nice on a sunny day!!! We need to go back to see the views! 😍
good vlog keep it up it looks amazing there
Thank youuuu, it was!!
คุณต้องไปแม่ฮ่องสอนหมู่บ้านรักไทยวิวสวยมาก👍👍👍💖💖💖
We need to visit Chiang Rai again when it's less rainy!!
Welcome to ChiangRai 🙏
Thank you 🥰🥰
น่าสนุกครับ ได้เที่ยวแบบ ผจญภัย
We love adventures! 😍😍
Thank you guys for visiting my city.
Chiang Rai is so cool!! 😍 hopefully we can come back again! 🤞
คู่รักที่น่ารักมากๆดูสดใสตลอดครับ
Thank you! 🥰🥰
you made the right decision. The river flow looks so scary.
Right?! It looked cool, but also scary!!
Just watched 'Thirteen Lives' (Amazon Prime) a film about the kids rescued at Tham Luang Nang Non cave. Good to know not too far from the Golden Triangle, and hopefully it will be open next month! Do you remember the name of the car rental place?
We still need to watch that!! I'm jealous that you'll be able to see the cave after watching the show! We really wanted to see it but 🤷♀️
We ended up renting a car from พี.เอส คาร์เรนท์ (that's what it says on google maps). It was just like a tiny stand on the side of the road in the center of Chiang Rai, but the guy was SO nice and it was really easy!
@@NataliesPassport พี.เอส คาร์เรนท์ = P.S Car-rent
❤❤❤❤❤
🥰🥰🥰
omg it is so rainy
Right?! 🤣 the motorbike rental guy told us it was the WORST week! lol but....3 day weekend, we had to go somewhere far from Bangkok! lol
👍👍👍
🥰🥰🥰
Such a bummer you weren't able to go to the cave. Have you seen the Thai documentary on Netflix about it? It was so good! Hoping we'll be able to visit the caves when we are in Chiang Rai next week. 🤞
We did watch it, but after we visited Chiang Rai! We really want to go back again! 😍
Love you
We love you too! 🥰🥰
Been to " Pai" in Mae Hongsorn yet, Natalie? Visit " Huai Nam Dang" National Park in Pai. There's a natural hot spring at the park.
No!! We really want to go to Pai, but we still haven’t been! Hopefully we’ll make it there one day - the hot springs sound amazing! 😍😍
@@NataliesPassport Don't miss out Pai. Many food stalls on " Walking Street" at nite. Many foreigners go there, Mostly Israelis...
@@NataliesPassport , There's a one-day tour, U can ask what programs they have.
Are you two live in THAILAND for now. I saw from the other clip that your Mom and Dad came to see you two.
Yessss! We’ve been here almost a year now! We live in Bangkok (I work in a school here) so all our travels are over weekends/holidays!
@@NataliesPassport congratulation
