I taught refugee Hmong students when I was a teacher in Stockton, California. They were incredibly hard-working and fast learners. I love these people!
One of your best Wayne. Off your face on the mountain wine. Your true happy character was shining thru, no wonder the lovely lass was obliging. Congrats on both successes mate👌👍
Hi Wayne, It was great to see that village and I could see the relief on your face with the cooler weather... Great vlog and only a short trip away. Loads to see and do on your doorstep. Thanks
Hello Wayne 👋 and nice video up the mountain and friendly village people. Thanks for showing us around 😀 and greetings from England 🇬🇧 Simon and Beth ❤❤❤
thanks for this one wayne, my GF and i were at the doi pui hm0ng camp in january, this has brought back some great memories. some guy in the crowd was trying to sell me diamonds haha. didnt try the wine but we had a photo shoot with the costumes and enjoyed a coffee down at the waterfull
Wow thanks Wayne! That was beautiful! I have only ever been as high as Bhubing Palace but I was on my bicycle & tired hahaha 😉 Next time I will be sure to go up to Doi Pui. I didn't know it was all that. Beautiful! Thanks!!
Flipping sweet wayne‼️your vlog style has improved sooo much since you first started!I love your videos,we are lucky to have you vlogging‼️stay awesome 🙏🏻
I love this area of Thailand. I’ve spend most of my time in the northern mountains. Thanks for sharing. FYI…my Hmong and Thai friends pronounce Hmong with the “H” silent
what a wholesome surroundings of the hilly place which is might quite adjacent to the complex rows shops where shop keepers are mostly friendly to strangers to offer something they sell, anyway good luck to you ! and continue your trip to the more outlying villages to interact with indigenous of thailand, ( from Bali Indonesia).
I got to go there! I’ve been to the Karen, but not to the Hmong. Everyone seems super friendly and good English speakers. I would ask if she had a room for rent at her place..then you can make your move. 🦋
It's a great morning out from Chiang Mai, nice to get up in the cool air and peace and quiet. That wine did have a kick to it. If I had anymore, I would have been staying the night haha.
Hey Wayne! Don’t feel bad about not buying from the First Lady for she didn’t offer the discount. :) Thanks for sharing and had been there before unfortunately I missed the look out stop.
I kinda miss all the good natured Thai laughters and smiles too. An atmosphere you can’t easily find here in the US or even here in the paradise of Southern California! Good job Wayne!! Can’t wait for my return at the end of this October 😀!!
Wish I had a mountain to go up to get away from the heat here in Corpus Christi, Texas. How could you do better, cool weather, beautiful lady, and outstanding mountain scenery. One of your best videos. Stay safe man.
I went to chiang mai back in 2008. It is a world away from the difference from any where else in Thailand i ever visited. It was cheaper. Noone tried to rip me off. I genuinely met so many honest people. Loads of the ladies i met there never wanted anything from me. I went on loads of days out with them on different trips. I'm still in touch with two of them even today. If every i was to go back again.. It would be north every time.
This one is chugging along nicely Wayne. Maybe these outback villages flirting a little with these honeys on camera is the way to go. 😂438,000 views pretty much confirm it . Well done mate 🤩
Thanks for sharing! Wine can be up to 12-13%. After that, the yeast dies. If it's higer than 12-13%, they have added hard spirit made of the same fruit as the wine.
"Wow! Your TH-cam channel is an absolute treasure trove of wanderlust and inspiration! From the breathtaking landscapes to the vibrant culture, you've truly captured the essence of Thailand's beauty and charm. Your videos take us on unforgettable journeys, immersing us in the vibrant streets, stunning beaches, and lush forests of this incredible country.
I have been up here it's really beautiful area and love the lookout point there. It's better to go in the morning I think, and beautiful during the tourist season when the flowers are out.
That lovely wine seller reminds me a little of the Mary that Christ as very man, of very man, was said to have shown a particular interest in. A lush fragrant mountain could well be considered, a pleasantry. Good to know about how cool it can get.
Enjoying your walk abouts . Travelling to your new neck of the woods and then up into Laos in Oct/Nov. So I appreciate your recommendations. Will definitely give hill tribe folks a visit and see if I can get a 150 baht bottle of plonk as well. How many times is it that I have to say to her 'You're a very beautiful lady'. Ha!
Thank you mate! Sounds like you've got a good adventure planned. I'm sure you'll get a good deal on the wine. Just keep calling her beautiful and you'll be on a winner.
I planned to go to the Hmong Village on my 2018 trip even though I knew it's overpriced, just for the experience (that view is beautiful!), but it was the day I broke my foot so we passed it. Because it's hard for me to get to (I won't drive in Thailand), I probably won't go but I'm glad you had fun. 🍷💃😂
Very interesting. Is this wine relatively new? Never heard of it! I lived in Thailand from 2004-2006. Part of that period I lived in Chiang Rai. Also, never heard of this area. Hmmm.... Is it near Mae Hong Son? I wonder how the Mango and Mangosteen wines taste, they must be very sweet??
The wine has been at the village for along time. Hmong Village is situated on the mountain of Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai. The wine is very sweet . Thanks 👍
@@WalkAboutWayne next month I am going to bangkok please I request you can you send me the exact address of this girl where you bought wine..please request
I think the wine was a bargain Wayne…. If only for the LINE ID 😂😂 All I got up there was photo of me with 2 little old lasses in full Hmong costume. I think their combined age was around 200 years! 😁🙏
Haha Yes Peter, I thought the prices was really cheap! Can't go wrong for 150 baht. Free testers and the offer of a bed for the night. I can't complain haha.
Their Tobacco that’s wrapped In banana leaves is amazing! I DONT NOT SMOKE cigs at all but tried it out there given that it’s authentic tobacco and highly recommend it, at least once. I ended up trying out the tobacco a few days before at a guide at a Lana home somewhere else but there we made freshly made tobacco in banana leaves and it was great so I had to give it another go when I went to doipui and saw them

Obviously, it's all fun and sales tactics. I had a great time at Hmong village. Awesome happy people. 👍
Silly question, do they sell three wheeled motor bikes? Or rent?
@@enough1494 Where? in Chiang Mai or in the mountain village? I don't see many 3 wheeled bikes around.
I taught refugee Hmong students when I was a teacher in Stockton, California. They were incredibly hard-working and fast learners. I love these people!
Nice one Beverly! Yes, they are great people and always up for a laugh.
I got a feeling Harry Chapin mentions Stockton in one of his songs?
I would have absolutely asked that awesome lady out to dinner or something !! She was so full of life and energy.
Get up the mountain and see her Kenny. She's up there waiting buddy 👍
She’s a bit a alright.
One of your best Wayne. Off your face on the mountain wine. Your true happy character was shining thru, no wonder the lovely lass was obliging. Congrats on both successes mate👌👍
Nice one mate! Yep, it was a cracking day, loved it. Free booze and beautiful women.
Hi Wayne, It was great to see that village and I could see the relief on your face with the cooler weather...
Great vlog and only a short trip away. Loads to see and do on your doorstep. Thanks
Thanks Dennis, it was nice and cool up there in the morning, I was enjoying it. Yes, it's not far and makes for a great half day out 👍

Hey guys! Thanks for watching. Say hi to England for me 🙏

Smooth talker! That escalated fast... a taste of wine to a sleepover 🤣🤣✌️
Not a bad morning mate, I can't complain 🤣
Wow thanks Wayne! That was beautiful! I have only ever been as high as Bhubing Palace but I was on my bicycle & tired hahaha 😉 Next time I will be sure to go up to Doi Pui. I didn't know it was all that. Beautiful! Thanks!!
Yes Mike, lot's more to see further up. It goes far past the lookout also. Well worth heading upto Hmong. Thanks.
Flipping sweet wayne‼️your vlog style has improved sooo much since you first started!I love your videos,we are lucky to have you vlogging‼️stay awesome 🙏🏻
Thanks buddy! Yes, it's been a long journey since I started. Appreciate the support man, thanks again.
Nice one Wayne. Smooth talkin mate 😊🤙🏻
Just call me Smooth Hound mate 🤣
I love this area of Thailand. I’ve spend most of my time in the northern mountains. Thanks for sharing. FYI…my Hmong and Thai friends pronounce Hmong with the “H” silent
Yep, that’s how locals say it 👍. Most foreigners will pronounce at least some of the H. Great area up in the mountains .
Very interesting watching you talking to all the nice women there especially the Lady you bought the wine from, and she was very pretty for sure.
Thanks! Yes, she's a very beautiful woman 👍
Good visit Wayne I've been there a few times but never visited the gardens but will next time, got to try the wine also + line ID haha😊
Nice one mate! Get in there my son, I'm sure she would give you a warm welcome. She's a very nice lady.
"I wanted one. I did honestly!" Love it! Hope you're well mate!
🤣 Honestly, I really did haha.
what a wholesome surroundings of the hilly place which is might quite adjacent to the complex rows shops where shop keepers are mostly friendly to strangers to offer something they sell, anyway good luck to you ! and continue your trip to the more outlying villages to interact with indigenous of thailand, ( from Bali Indonesia).
Thanks 👍👍
Hi Wayne, great Vlog mate.. appreciate your your efforts mate. Cheers Steve
Thanks Steve, much appreciated mate.
Jez that was a class looking plant .good video as always
Happy Days mate. Thanks.
I got to go there! I’ve been to the Karen, but not to the Hmong. Everyone seems super friendly and good English speakers. I would ask if she had a room for rent at her place..then you can make your move. 🦋
🤣🤣 you never know mate, you might get a good deal on a room 👍
Nothing like a bit of fresh mountain air and some home brewed wine. Hopefully you weren't too wobbly coming back down again, mate.
It's a great morning out from Chiang Mai, nice to get up in the cool air and peace and quiet. That wine did have a kick to it. If I had anymore, I would have been staying the night haha.
@WalkAboutWayne not difficult to see how some unsuspecting tourists could land in the honey trap! You've done well Wayne 👏
You're a naturally cool guy Wayne. Great vlog
Nice one man! Thanks.
Hey Wayne! Don’t feel bad about not buying from the First Lady for she didn’t offer the discount. :) Thanks for sharing and had been there before unfortunately I missed the look out stop.

Thanks Buddy! October is just around the corner and you'll be living the good life again. 👍
I miss it too! Life isn't the same in boring Calif.! - I'm in the SF Bay Area.
Wish I had a mountain to go up to get away from the heat here in Corpus Christi, Texas.

This one went crazy! My biggest vlog by a mile. I've heard she's a bit of a celebrity now. Loads of blokes trying to get dates with her 🤣🤣.
Looks fun 😄👍 specially the wine part 😆 new subs here 📢
Great fun and great day. Thanks for the Sub!
Pleasure 😊👍
Good vlog, so glad you got her Line id, she is heaps of fun and well worth a follow up. 👍
She sure does play the flute well 👌
Thanks for sharing! Wine can be up to 12-13%. After that, the yeast dies. If it's higer than 12-13%, they have added hard spirit made of the same fruit as the wine.

Earlier the better for Doi pui lookout, it's great in the morning yes. 👍
Yes I love the view@@WalkAboutWayne
Best khao soi I ever had was at Doi Pui🙂. Next time I am in Chiang Mai for sure I will pay a visit at that wine lady😊
Nice one! Well worth a visit 👍
Haha The people love when you chat up the ‘locals’, Wayne. I hate wine, but, would have also bought a bottle. 😂
I love having a laugh with the locals, they love a good chat up and banter. It's very hard to refuse a bottle mate 🤣
45 minutes from home in CM. Often take the bike with a friend on the back and enjoy the view. Excellent Vlog. Cheers
Nice one! It's a great view.
Great VLog Mate so tell us when are you going back to pick her up come on man we know you want to 🤣
Thanks buddy! Hahaha I think I'll move to Hmong.
Gardens are stunning.
Not bad 👌
Wow nice and beautiful view 👌👍
Yes, it's a great place 👌👌
That lovely wine seller reminds me a little of the Mary that Christ as very man, of very man, was said to have shown a particular interest in. A lush fragrant mountain could well be considered, a pleasantry. Good to know about how cool it can get.
It was so nice having some cool air. It doesn't stay cool for long but if you get up there early, it's nice and fresh.
I could be happy with the wine Lady for the rest of my life. She is absolutely gorgeous.
She's a stunning lady! She's great fun to be around also.
She’s recreational use only
Butter face
Big time
The rest of your life is a long time. ARE YOU SURE?
Wow what is the call this place and alao how maney far from bankok
All in the video and description buddy 👍
They all look like great tasting wine. I like sweet wine so I probably buy them by cases. They are so affordable.
They are all very sweet wines but like you mentioned, great price for 150 Baht.
That was funny that lady keep offering you wine.i wouldn't have got back down the mountain lol
She would have kept going, she was ready to get the whiskey and vodka out 🤣. It was a cool day, great ladies.
Enjoyed your video, stay well brother.
Thank you buddy 🙏
Your video are great thank you from Scott new Zealand
Cheers Scott👍
Wayne , the H in Hmong is silent 👍🏼 pronounced mong 👍🏼👍🏼 I thoroughly enjoyed your waffling 👍🏼👍🏼
Yes mate, if saying the local way. Most of us foreigners put something before the M. Well I do anyway man. Thanks for liking the channel mate 👍
I loved it there when I went to film it, but those steep alleyways nearly killed me lol. I bought some wine as well as other stuff 😂.
It's a good little morning out, I don't head up here enough really. Great people.

Never heard of this place . Very interesting
Well worth a visit 👌
What a gorgeous looking woman
The heat n humidity is the reason I could never live in Thailand. If it was cool….wow, I’d never leave !
Yes, the heat does wear you down. I would love some cold days. I miss it a lot.
I was here about a year ago. Believe it or not If you drive to the very top of the mountain it's very cold.
Yep, not as cold as Doi Inthanon, but it's cold.
What a lovely lady with amazing sales skills 🤣🤣🤣
Clever lady 👌🏻
Good post
Thanks 👍
Congrats brah… hopefully you stayed the night … she gave you enough hints … she was very friendly.
All part of the game buddy. 👍
Whereabouts are you exactly ? I’m going to have a look next time I’m in Thailand
Hmong village, Chiang Mai.
I’ll definitely be going there mate, thank you 🙏
Because of hard work of King Rama9, life of hill tribes in Thailand has been improved substantially.

Their Tobacco that’s wrapped In banana leaves is amazing! I DONT NOT SMOKE cigs at all but tried it out there given that it’s authentic tobacco and highly recommend it, at least once. I ended up trying out the tobacco a few days before at a guide at a Lana home somewhere else but there we made freshly made tobacco in banana leaves and it was great so I had to give it another go when I went to doipui and saw them
Nice! I didn't see the tobacco. I will lookout more next time
Really interesting part of Thailand, never knew it existed.
Great area, great people 👍
I was there but missed the wine lady. I could love her krub
Hopefully you'll see her next time, I'm sure she'll be pleased to see you. 😉
😊 yeah you're right she's a very pretty lady
She sure is 👍
Good job, Wayne! Hookin it up! If it isn't you, then it will be the other foreigner 😂
I'm sure she has many satisfied farang wine buyers mate.
@WalkAboutWayne You're right. you're just another grape in the wine barrel
Funny how she said she was hmong then that it changed, she was a Thai party girl. 🤣
Yes, she knows all the tricks in the book.
I'd have to get a ride! Too much free wine to take the motorbike back!😅
The lady was ready to get the whiskey and vodka out haha. I think they would keep going with the free wine.
