Holy cow,I agree, the way VI went through that hill tribe's woman's kitchen, was something like something out of the movie" Platoon".🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I didn’t take it that way…. It was interesting to see how they stored their food staples …well done Vee, and thank you mam for sharing your home with us…:-))
I started drinking my wives menstruation blood after I had a break out of acne. It’s cured up all my skin and acne problems. I’ve been drinking her menstruation blood now for 5 years. It’s helped me a lot. Thank you lord for waking me up. 🙏🏻
Vee is great! She reminds me a little bit of that children's book character "Curious George" because of her "".insatiable curiosity"! That was a beautiful dress she was wearing that was multi-colored.
I called mai sai the heaven of thailand so beautiful & peaceful in the cool mountains of the golden triangle ,it's a dream 👍
Too funny 16:28 with the cat not looking too impressed...Keep them coming buddy great work and kool insights to remote locations
Thanks Loucous love all of these videos , yearning for Thailand , still in the u.k. today , thanks.
awesome...episode....thank you for sharing....
Nice area might have to add it to my bucket list, great work 👍
Them 1000b Notes certainly feel like a lot of money now in USD and GBP , I still would choose Thailand to retire ! Awesome video 🙏🙏👍👍
Thanks Lee 👍🙏
Shopping for golden neck springs 🤗
Yep, he’s a good looking Rooster. 👍😊
Lucas those Burgers and Fries looked the best it looks like you're enjoying yourselves
none went to waste 👍🙏
I am enjoying this series of videos a lot. it's great to see out of the beaten track locations and the kitties in matching christmas sweaters at the end stole my heart!
Rose bar!! My default hang out when I lived in Chiang Rai. Wattsy is legendary!
Adjacent to that row is what appeared to be a very nice hotel. Would probably stay there next time.
@@Rides4Kickz It is indeed and the owner is a good man and deserving of your business. He owns every building in that area. He reduced rent by at least half for them all during the "situation" to help his community. That included "farang" tenants as well. Chiang Rai really is great city and I will be setting up camp there again soon.
Nice show sir... Thanks...
beautiful bird
ชอบที่พาเที่ยวทั่วไทย ได้เห็นวิถีชีวิต และศิลปะวัฒธรรม แหล่งท่องเที่ยวต่างๆ ขอบคุณครับ👍👍👍🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
Nice ride as always Lucas👍😀❤️
Makes me miss Thailand
Great video of the country side, Lucas you and your misses have a great day 🍺🍺
Thanks Robert 👍🙏
Ahhh nothing beats a good Aussie pie, great to see my nations food is there
I would love to have my Harley there and ride around the country!
Did vee shout rouse rouse shenell shenell when surching the huts lol. Bless her 🙏
Great episode Lou, see you again in the next video, bye for now.
👍🙏
A few years ago you could pay B100 and cross over to Burma at Mae Sai for an hour or two without getting your passport stamped .That stopped about 6 years ago .
So sad last time we were there that food market was packed every night. Was the place to go, hopefully it will be back to it's full glory soon.
Ha haaa, like the Gestapo (VERE ARE YOUR PAPERS??) , and what did you do with those burger's Lucas, eat them or climb up them ? 😂😂😂, great vlog, regards to yourself and Vee from England 👍👍🍺🍺
Not much difference altitude wise between Mae Hong Son and Mae Sai towns. The airport at Mae Hong Son is 272 metres and the Friendship Bridge at Mae Sai is 390 metres.
I have been to a long neck village , did a tour through a river on an elephant ! Yes I gave him many bananas and sugar cane ... Yum ... Enjoy thank you for all your work !
Sounds great! 👍🙏
You are an important conduit to show us the life in thailand, brother.
Thanks Bob 👍🙏
Etiquette is about respect and consideration for the lives of others and is still a thing, regardless of where you’re from. At least, that’s been my experience.
Tabacco would be my crop there! Probably great stuff
Nothing better than the smell of fresh tar first thing in the morning! Gotta luv it.
Inspector Vee at work up north 🤣
The beauty off traveling when you make no reservations is you will get to some places you wouldn't end up eating 😉
Looking forward to the next Isan episode 😊
Thanks for taking us along on your trip Lucas 🙏
And as always, C Ya in the next one, cheers 🙌🍻
That's the plan! 👍🙏
Beautiful Place I've been there.
Hope you saw the Famous White Temple in Chang Rie
Always enjoy your videos! In my hubby's home country when people come to visit our grandma always invites them in and to go kinda "thru things" as they live what's more traditionally or olden times so I think that may only seem weird to mabye city people or mabye western peoples? I am sure Ms. Vee had permission and was respectful as she always seems very compassionate. Thank you for this series Mr Lucas!
wow camera n footage is clear n hell.i like
Hey Lucas, great to see you and Vee back on the trail together! I'm really enjoying this series of your adventures in the hill country. Those neck "springs" look like they would be awfully uncomfortable. Hopefully Vee doesn't get any ideas! When I watch your adventures it is like being on my own little vacation. It really looks like you hit all the high points and even some of the others. I look forward to your next installment. Take care you two.
Very nice James 👍🙏
@@Rides4Kickz - - BELGIAN GOO0-LASH .... I THOUGHT YA SAID NORM B00-LASH < > couple of items : - with Vee's birthday approaching, has the YOUNIQUE CAFE any b-day cakes or offerings ?? - - as it coincides with that day , see youtube " The Unlikely Events That Led To The Titanic Disaster - Who Sank The Titanic - Documentary " ., about 1:08 time., always love the engineering & practical physics of metallurgy. Also , Udon has an interesting past of U. S. airbase regarding the B-52 stratfortress. , youtube Mark Felton productions +
B-52 Busters - Vietnam War Communist Commando Raids
I did that trip in late 90s, it has changed so much, like most places I suppose. I stayed in a hill tribe over night, but was not a tourist destination that’s for sure and oooohhhhh those bamboo floor we slept on, yeah never again. Most cafes here in Aussie you have to pay first before getting your coffee and food.
thanks for calling BURMA by the correct name.
Each Video You put out on this Trip , the Town's, Villages
and Views just get better and better ....Great Trip Thanks...
Thanks Ray 👍👍🙏
👍
12:19 You'll most likely know it as Myanmar, but it'll always be Burma to me.
🤣🤣🤣👍🙏
2:08 My regular pub when I'm drinking. The Aussie owner Wattsy is a good bloke. Chiang Rai is a great place to live. Mae Sai is a fine place to visit. I do my 90-Day Report there. Are you going to drive along the Mekong to Chiang Saen? The drive back to Chiang Rai from there is much more pleasant. A good road and very quiet.
So beautiful in the country. Such a beautiful rooster. Never seen such a colorful one. Thanks for sharing.😎
Really nice rooster originating in Netherlands, breed called "Welsummer" are known to be extremely intelligent and curious (it was definitely curious about Loucous) compared to other chicken breeds, often doing tricks such as playing piano as seen on videos on the Internet.
wonderful indeed Eleanor but time to head back to the low lands for more adventure. 👍🙏
Mouth watering... more delish than my salad that's for sure🤩
Thank you 😋
agree about the rooster ,great colours ,what a handsome bird
Colors really popped I though 👍🙏
Norwegian turquoise... beautiful plumage! 🧐😃
I live this videos. The long necks are so interesting.
👍👍👍
Vee's footage is always second to none... lol... Thank you Luke!
You bet! 👍🙏
Wieder einmal ein schönes schönes Video Top 👍 Gruß aus Hamburg 😎🥊🍺🎸💃🎶🕺🥃🔥❤️🍸💃
Danke😁
👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Burgers 👎🏻 even before you said where’s the beef haha
Loving this series - you are giving me lots of ideas for my extended stay in July
I love it out in the countryside and close to nature. I think you're right about the hillside tribe, this one seemed a bit more for tourists or not the same authentic feel.
Great show as always Loucas 👍🏻✌🏻🙏🏻
the fact there are so many different tribes close together shows it is a commercial based place with entry fees. Other more traditional villages are just one tribe even the KMT villagers from the old chinese communists driving them out in the after WW2 period when Mao took control.
Burgers looked good vee the spy 555
Funny seeing you can get a pie and chips in Thailand. Paying up front pretty normal in Australia. Also best thing , not expected to pay a tip 😜
I’ve been to a couple different long neck Karen villages on the outer edges of Chaing Mai, very unique life styles….great video Lucas!
So it appears they are all a bit different in some ways but same sort of things for sale in each.
WOW! KUDOS for sharing and taking Vee to see the tribes and amazing at the Burmese border.... burgers? :) Too funny as Vee's curiousity get her into a hut and some Thai sausages :) ALL THE BEST and Cheers! safe travels!
Thanks Marty 👍🙏
Your road trip take me back to all the places we have been in Thailand been enjoying it.
Fantastic 👍🙏
lol lol hhhhmmm the 1 in white top at the 50 second mark...lol how do you say hurtme....lol
'Hi, Lucus & Vee enjoyed your video. The tribespeople was interesting but you don't really know how authentic it is but you had fun. Look forward to stage two of this adventure. Take care GOD Bless you and yours. M
Time to head back to the low lands 👍🙏
gotta say, the burgers looked freaking awesome
Great work as usual Sir. I truely miss that place. In my opinion the #1 paradise in the world. You know that as soon as you get there✊
Well said! 👍🙏
Really enjoy your video and your positive attitude… keep up the good works👍🏆
Thanks so much!
Never expect your burger to be 100% beef in Thailand and you won't be let down :)
My mate taught English in Chiang Rai for ages. He really liked it.
Great town 👍🙏
Did you visit Tham Luang Nang Non Cave?
Nice Seinfield reference.
👍🙏
Stay safe🤔🤔🤔
They shouldn’t charge to get in to expensive! I would buy silk. I don’t know what I would do with it but maybe display it? I like the huts
💯👍✅ Brilliant Footage .. Every Time. 🙏
Love the way V just gets in to look at things. She might be a better vlogger than you Loucas , lol. Great video, really enjoying your trip. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Great Video Lucas. Looking forward to Essan 🙏
Me too! 👍🙏
Mae Sae and Tachileik. What memories, what memories... Thank you again, and again, and again, for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🙏
are they selling the wooden frogs (that they stroke) walking around Banglumpu?
another great video...BTW Burma was officially renamed as Republic of the Union of Myanmar about 13 years ago
We all know that, but old names die hard.
Bangkok was just renamed yesterday. We'll see how that goes as well. 👍🙏
@@Rides4Kickz I first went to "Bangkok" 40 years ago and the overwhelming majority of the Thai people called it Krung Thep, as a naive Westerner I wondered what the heck they was on about! Was even more astounded when I heard the full name it goes on for ages!
Every stop is so interesting. Sure some places can be a bit touristy but they are still enjoyable. Even the "slice of meat" burgers make for an interesting story.
👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Been there many many moons ago... strange to see the border gate all fenced close like that... Sad to see their life w/o tourist income... gonna be a long long way back for you... lol.. next vid...
Haha, yeah it was Tom 👍🙏
Vee is hilarious searching through the hut. She's the type of guest who comes into your home, opens your refrigerator and makes a sandwich 🤣
Makes a sandwich and then takes the rest of the food home.. rice 🍚
More likely to open your fridge and make a Som Tam, but yeah 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 Hilarious...Vee is the best
My Filipina was like that, if she'd see something that needs cleaned she'll get on the job . 😂
I think she watches a lot of HARALD BALDR videos, that's what he does, she actually had the BEST footage of the day🤓
Nice video as always. I have been in that town two times. Both times I crossed over the border to Burma/Myanmar. There was just the old bridge and a small withe house where they stamped the passport. I think it costed ca 350 bath back then ca 25-30 years ago. There was a small market on the Burmese side also. Not much of interest to buy there but nice to have been there. Keep up the good work. Looking foreward to your next video 😃
Thanks for sharing 👍🙏
Nice video. Our Thai home is just outside Chiang Rai and have been to Mai Sai many times. The market is where you play 'dodge the scooter' as they constantly buzz up and down the narrow walkways. 😊
I can see that being a thing 👍🙏
Its funny every body goes there but footage so different. Vee looking for Gold. Lol. Amazing village.. Take Care
Thanks 👍
Hi Rich, I'm really enjoying your videos. I've been in that area quite a few times, just not on a bike. Now you have me planning another tirp. Just not sure if it will be Vietnam or Thailand first.
Other TH-cam vloggers have made the Northern Thailand trip, but they didn't capture what you did Lucas...
The Hill Tribe people are usually shown on camera, but not up close and in their home....
Hope the Hill Tribe people realize their way of life has some advantages... In many ways they are excluded from much ugliness of the world....
Great video👍
Very true Tony, there are hidden benefits to living the way they do.
This latest bunch of videos have really triggered my urge to visit thailand again! Great stuff, thank you Lucas!
BTW, did "Chocolate man" buy you that beer I sent to you during his live-stream?
Thanks Niklas, don't remember a beer, maybe next time. 👍🙏
We have the same parasols ⛱️⛱️ as the Burmese border burger bar. 😁+1
Another great video. I'm really enjoying this series ! You do have a point , though , about these villages being their "office" . I couldn't help noticing that inside the house there were no cupboards for clothes , no TVs , computers, no personal processions etc.I think these villages are for the tourists to visit. I also think that they don't wear their traditional clothes when there are no tourists around or it's not a special occasion like a wedding etc.Reminds me of a Far Side cartoon I once saw. Native people quickly hiding the TVs etc with the caption ..."Quick ! Anthropologists !" I mentioned in a previous comment on an earlier video, my ex and I stayed in a Karen village in the mid 80s for about a week. They all wore western clothes, T-shirts , shorts , skirts , jeans etc most of the time. When a tourist group was due to arrive they all hurriedly changed into traditional clothes. When the tourists arrived, they did a song and dance and posed for photos at a price. Then , when the tourist group had left they changed back into their usual clothes. You may remember I told told you I.'m married Taiwan indigious lady. Have been for 25 years. They are not called "hill tribes" here, but indigenous or aboriginal people. Some Taiwanese call them "San Di Ren" , which means mountain people and is considered disrespectful. There are over 12 tribes here , all with their own languages and customs. My wife's tribe and other tribes generally wear western style clothes most of the time and only wear traditional clothes for ceremonies , weddings , special occasions or when entertaining tourists.Thanks again for your excellent videos ! Keep up the great work ! As a PS...We live in the 21st century....So do these native people, whether in Thailand, Taiwan , Hawaii , New Zealand or where ever. Unless they are in some extremely remote places such as New Guinea or parts of Central Africa, all of them are used to the internet, computers, TVs , refrigerators , cell phones etc. and drive SUVs, jeeps and so on.
Yes, hard to believe in this day and age there would still be people living like that
What was the name of the town by the Burmese border? Im looking for it on the map. And the Karen long neck village too please. Thank you.
Hi Loucous and Vee loving the videos. I'm glad Vee went inside the hut it was very interesting. That was a good looking rooster. Enjoy ur trip
Our pleasure!, she enjoyed it so much 👍🙏
Can you finally give Vee a kiss on camera.
2:03 I used to own the shop house where these girls are dancing back in 1987. Chiang Rai was and remains one of my favourite places in Thailand until......the smoke starts.
What is the time frame of the smoke in Chiang Rai?
@@Rides4Kickz Typically January to April or May, but this year there has been unseasonable rain in the north in January.
Strange how large the societal gap has become. You have people planning on going to Mars and those in hilltop villages still adding rings around their necks.
I agree the Rooster was literally picture perfect. Like the ones you see in print. I'm surprised there are not huge cattle ranches in Thailand considering how lush and the country is. I would think Beef would be a huge commodity.
Yes, I've said that myself before. But beef is not as commonly eaten here as it is in western countries but still a big opportunity exists.
That pie was a Shepard’s Pie type?
It was minced beef actually.
It's going down...no place is safe.
You ever go to the mines and buy Bermeese rubies or jewels or jewelry? I hear that is the best rubies you can buy? I was told you can buy good ones
McDonald’s and Burger king make you pay upfront.
Another great and inspiring video from You guys. More reasons to go and stay in The Land of Smiles, Thailand. Those village are a place to visit. I wonder If they will allow an outsider to stay with them for a week or more(for some money in exchange of course), to really learn how they live, there must be plenty of wiseness to get from them. What a view from that caffe next to the border. Hope to see You guys by the end of the year. Happy travels and stay safe. God bless You all.👍🏿
Many Thanks Antonio 👍🙏
Hi On the way from Chiang rai to mae sai...you missed one of the most thrilling motorbike roads in Thailand. Going north from Chiang Rai turn off left onto the 1338 and then 1388 and drop into Mae Sai ( and I mean ' drop in' ) You must do it next time you travel that way.
Many Thanks, will add that to my next loop up there.
Very interesting video.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🙏
The bits that V films are sometimes better than the bits you film 🎬. 🤯
