😂 Appreciate the love ❤️❤️🫰🫰! Thank you for the recommendation 😃❤️🫰🙏! We will post our next video on Thursday a bit earlier 😉.
ดูคุณกินแล้ว ก็มีความสุขไปด้วย 😀😀
Thank you so very much 😃❤️🫰🙏!
Drier is not really needed around here. In this weather you are not exactly short for sunlight and heat.
😅😅😅 Very True.
9.47 Those are foods to eat with boiled rice. Fried morning glory,salted egg, Fried fermented veg.with egg.
Oh really!!?? That totally makes sense. Thank you for the info 😃🫰❤️🙏!
I am notified by several of your VDOs. Your guys are quite know a lot about Thailand such your thai pronounciation on the way newbie to Thailand can't do. My suggestion is grab a bus at Ekkamai bus terminal to Koh Chang, Trat province Haha. Anyway, I love your guys journey here!!
Thank you so very much 😃❤️🫰🙏!
😅😅😅 Thank you so much for the love and support ❤️❤️🫰🫰!
The reason most households don’t need a dryer is that you get your clothes dry in like 2 hours by putting it under the burning sunlight 🤣🤣🤣 Also, I don’t know if anyone ever explained this but seasoning your food is common in Thailand unlike some countries that it might be disrespectful to the chef. That’s why you always see a set of 4-5 or more condiments in tiny glasses consisting mainly of sugar, chilli flakes, vinegar, fish sauce on the table in almost every street food vendor on the street especially noodles shop which they sometimes tend to serve milder soup so everyone can adjust it to their tastes. Talk about noodle, i wonder if you have already learned the basics of how to order noodles in thailand already?
Totally makes sense 😁
Honestly, even without the additional seasonings, we feel like it’s made pretty well. Maybe cuz they have been doing it for so long but idk 🤷 really delicious 🤤🤤🤤.
Unfortunately, we still don’t really know the basics of ordering noodles 😔.
We’re just open to anything and everything 😃❤️🫰🙏!
I used to live in Phra Khanong area since 10 years old for around 30-ish years. Local food is quite cheap there.
Very nice! It’s a very nice area and you’re absolutely right, it is quite cheap 😃❤️🫰🙏!
Form thailand i can’t stop to see your Vlog now. Nice content and fun reaction. And be careful about dirt food you should to a little bit to choose the store have fun and good luck.😊
Thank you so very much 😃❤️🫰🙏! Appreciate such kind words, love, support and your concerns for us. You’re so sweet 🥹😃❤️🫰🙏!
@@ChovyTravelIf you want the restaurant request i have one is Copper buffet this here everything is perfect. especially truffle soup.But only book in the application.
Thank you so much for the info and recommendation 😃❤️🫰🙏!
For next time please try another..... "Milk Green Tea" 30% or 70% sweet at Cha Tra Mue.
Definitely! We always wanted to try the Milk Green Tea too 😁.
The normal Makro is actually exactly like Costco minus maybe the membership aspect. This one you just explored is Makro food service (a smaller branch with only supermarket)
What!!?? Really? Where’s the Normal one?
Man! We thought this was the recommended place 😅. Thanks for the clarification 😃🫰❤️🙏!
@@ChovyTravel Obviously the closer to the central business district, the smaller available lots to build bigger Makro, so you might need to go to the outskirt of Bangkok to find one.
fun fact: Makro, Lotus and 7-11 are technically owned by the same company. (well Cpaxt, the company owning Makro and Lotus, is one of subsidiaries of Cpall, 7-11 ‘s authorized company.
That totally makes sense. I think we’re still interested in going even if it is in the outskirts of Bangkok 🤔. Only problem I see is if we want to buy a lot of stuff 😅.
That’s an interesting fact! Pretty Crazy!
The School Supply store's name is "Suksa Phun Panich", it is a store for teachers and students to buy textbooks, school laboratory supplies, student uniforms, etc. Behind the store is planetarium and sciences museum. This place was my hang out place when the school semester was finished in my teenage.
Ahh very interesting! It must have brought back some good memories 😁.
I think we’re gonna go back to buy some books to learn Thai 😅. Do you think they would have what we need as intro to Thai Language?
@@ChovyTravel If you want to learn Thai language, text book for kid learn to write Thai alphabet and TH-cam channel that teach to pronunciation with meaning is a must.
Yeah, already watching TH-cam but I guess I wanted some traveling flash cards to take with us on our travels 😁.
@@ChovyTravel This book may help you "Thai in daily life", I found it from Chula book center. It is very cheap, 95 Baht only. I think that you can buy this book from Chula book center in Chamchuri Square shopping center. You can go there by the blue line MRT subway, exit at Sam Yan station. There is underground connection to the Chamchuri Square.
Wow! Thank you so much 😃❤️🫰🙏! That’s awesome ❤️❤️🫰🫰!
Average cost for international school in Bangkok is around 150k-1million million baht a year(4k-27k us dollar), some are lower some are higher.
Very Interesting! That’s not too bad 😃🫰❤️🙏!
I live in Thong lor, which is like a sister Avenue to Ekamai and I rarely know that those places exist LOL. however, my suggestion/information for you guys is that Ekamai is popular for its nightlife’s where youngsters come out (around 10 PM onwards) for partying!
And since a lot of Japanese people live in Thong Lor area, that’s why you’d see a lot of Japanese places/restaurants, those Japanese salarymen hang out at night as well.
And don’t get your hopes up on McDonald in Thailand, I despise it. Wanna see Americans take on it tho LOL
😂😁😂😁 We’re not that much of a partying couple but it’s nice to know about the area, thank you 😃🫰❤️🙏
Yes! Definitely a lot of Japanese Restaurants in Thonglor.
태국음식 냄새가 이곳까지 전해지는것 같아요. 파인애플 쿠키 엄청 달달할것 같아요 😊
태국음식 맛있어요 👍 파인애플 쿠키는 너무 달지않고 맛나요 😁🍍
อยากให้คุณได้ลองไปเที่ยวตามเกาะต่างๆบ้าง เช่น เกาะสมุย เกาะพงัน เกาะพีพี เกาะยาว กระบี่ มันสวยมาก ความงดงามของเกาะและวิถีชีวิตบนเกาะน่าสนุกมาก คุณสามารถเช่ารถมอเตอร์ไซขี่วนรอบเกาะได้ และมันตื่นเต้นมาก🎉
Thank you so much for the different island recommendations 😃❤️🫰🙏. Once we get settled in with our visa situation, we will be sure to travel to different provinces/islands. Thank you ❤️❤️🫰🫰
I like Caroline’s T shirt. Very cute.
Thank you so much 😃🫰❤️🙏. She does like that shirt too. Got it from Chatuchak 😁.
Love your videos. Btw im new here. 🙋♂️ After watching couple of your videos, i hit the subcribe button so that i will not be left on your guys journey in Thailand. Keep it up guys ❤
Thank you so much 😃❤️🫰🙏!
WELCOME! Appreciate the love and support ❤️❤️🫰🫰! Thank you for the encouragement 🥰🥰.
I haven’t gone to that area for a long time!! Thank you so much for taking me to see how is it now a day. You guys are getting better with your Thai and the Thailand heat 😊
It’s our pleasure 😃! Thank you so much 😃🫰❤️🙏! We’re learning word by word 😂 Still so hard to understand. We learn to go inside and out of A/C Stores from time to time 😂.
We are big fans of Ekamai and The Commons too. Glad you like the areas. Really fun to follow you two.
Right!!?? It’s a nice area for sure 😁. Thank you so much for the love 😃🫰❤️🙏!
❤❤🇹🇭❤❤
Welcome to Thailand 🇹🇭
💎💕😇👍🙏
Thank you so much 😃❤️🫰🙏!
Oh you went to PhedMark. I've been meaning to try that place. What did you think? I didn't catch a video of you guys going there. I'll be in Thailand for NYE and part of January. PhedMark is on my list to try.
We loved it! Unfortunately, we didn’t film eating it. We might in the near future. Very Nice! I would recommend it for sure. Be careful on the spice level though cuz it can be painful 🌶️🌶️🌶️
It raining to day hope the weather not too hot as it was.
Today, was way better. It felt actually pretty good. It’s been awhile since we felt this cool 😁.
You should try Thai style bar-b-q called Moo Kra Ta! Btw, love your video, as a proud Thai, seeing your review and experience are refreshing and fun!!
Any recommendation where to go for Moo Kra Ta?
Appreciate your kind words, the love and support 😃❤️🫰🙏!
Love to see you enjoy eating. It’s almost midnight and I am starving now. Hahaha😂
Thank you so much 😃❤️🫰🙏!
😂😂😂 Hang in there!
Wish you happiness 😊💗🎉
Thank you so very much 😃❤️🫰🙏
We wish you well and happiness as well.
The dryer is not popular because the sun will dry your clothes faster. But I've never seen a laundromat without a dryer though.
Totally makes sense. I guess we’re so used to having a dryer that it had become a norm for us 😅.
@@ChovyTravel มันจำเป็นสำหรับฤดูฝนที่ใกล้มาถึงคือช่วงปลายเดือนพฤษภาคมจนถึงกรกฏาคม จะมีฝนประปรายบ้าง แต่เดือนสิงหาคมจนถึงเดือนตุลาคมจะเข้าสู่ช่วงน้ำป่าจากภาคเหนือตอนบนไหลหลาก เหตุเกิดจากความกดอากาศที่มาจากประเทศจีน ประเทศไทยมีฤดูฝนที่ยาวนานกว่าฤดูอื่น แต่อากาศก็ร้อนเช่นกันทุกฤดู😅
Got it! Thank you for the info 😃❤️🫰🙏!
I think you can actually go find a reputable language school that can provide you the ED visa. For 90 day reporting, you only need to do it 4 times a year and I am sure that you could do it yourself online. No need to pay big money to the visa agent.
Thank you for the recommendation 😃❤️🫰🙏! Makes sense!
🎉🎉ถึงแล้วครับ2000❤😊
Thank you so very much 😃❤️🫰🙏🎉.
Have you been to อตก market (อตก = or tor kor). It’s near Chatuchak and got lots of interesting Thai food there.
We haven’t. We should definitely check it out. Thank you for the info 😃❤️🫰🙏.
What do you recommend from there?
@@ChovyTravel You can go to Mixt near by. It’a mall near Chatuchak and near MRT. Lots of interesting stuffs there. Also one of the best place for souvenirs.
Oh and there’s nice small cafe name “Hi Anthony” deep in Sukhumvit 39. You can get there by grab. The owner is a Korean from Australia. Great coffee and of course great name!
Really!!?? Oh Wow! Thank you so much for the recommendations 😃🫰❤️🙏
Try corn pie at McDonald. So good
Really!? Is that your favorite menu item?
Roast is one of my favorite restaurants too. ❤❤❤
It is very delicious 😁. What’s your favorite meal or dessert there?
@@ChovyTravel I never try dessert there. Usually, I will have brunch there I like the coffee both of you order, kale salad, a kind of pea salad only available in this restaurant, duck confit also good, etc. I think every thing is special and delicious there. Btw, you should try Sizzler in Thailand for their buffet salad bar. Cheap and delicious too. Greyhound’s beef Kra Phao is the best beef kra phao from me amd my hubby’s personal opinion.
Yes! Coffee is a must there 😁.
Very Interesting! Really!!?? Sizzler? It’s been so long since I’ve been to a Sizzler 😅.
Appreciate the recommendation ❤️❤️🫰🫰. Gonna have to check out Greyhound Cafe. Their pasta looks good too 😁.
I like you Exploring around in Bangkok thailand
Thank you so very much 😃🫰❤️🙏!
Most Thais do not eat wild animals except for insects. Thai people love exotic pets. Check out the Chatuchak Weekend Market (BTS to Moochid or MRT to Chatuchak). There's an animal market next to it. You will find all kinds of wildlife. It's like a zoo that you can buy. It's wild.
Icic! We did go to Chatuchak but we totally missed the animal market 😔
We will go again and check that out next time. Thank you for the recommendation/info 😃❤️🫰🙏
For the laundry ,Search for ottri in your area
Thank you for the info/recommendation 😃❤️🫰🙏!
@@ChovyTravel Oh I was miss spelling , It is 'otteri'
Thank you 😁 Found it!
Pls check this noddle restaurants
Rung Rueang Pork Noodle (Left Shop)
รุ่งเรืองตั๋ง ห้องมุม
So yummy
Thank you so much for the recommendation 😃❤️🫰🙏!
You guys probably already went to McDonald’s, but just in case you should try the chicken, McPatongko and the samurai pork burger (kind of sweet though)
We actually haven’t 😂! We barely had KFC and that’s only because our subscribers said it was really good. Glad they recommended it because it was good 🤤!
Thank you for the recommendations 😃❤️🫰🙏! Sounds very interesting.
You should also try Chester’s, it’s a chicken place, the Gai yang there is good. The fried chicken at 5Stars is also really good. Church’s does business here as Texas chicken.
We almost tried Chester’s but we didn’t have time. Thank you so much for the recommendations 😃❤️🫰🙏! Gonna have to try them out 😁.
21:20 Oh my God 😄😅🤣
Right!!?? We were so shocked 😂.
Pls check spicy fried chicken at Mcdonald
Will do! Thank you for the recommendation 😃❤️🫰🙏!
May I recommend you another called Nonthaburi this place is Huge and good time to go on 4pm is Central Westgate and Bangyai market neighborhood lots food and stuff selling here and easy to go by blue line Tao Poon station and connect to purple line call Talad Bangyai station easy to come and escape from the bad traffic please come I love to see your video to explore this love your video ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so very much for the recommendation 😃❤️🫰🙏! Definitely gonna have to check that out! Really appreciate you taking the time to letting us know and providing detailed info to get there ❤️❤️🫰🫰 So Sweet 🥹🥹🙏🙏
Did you bring your Los Angeles dog to Thailand?
if so how did u prepare and how did it fly (underseat or cargo)?
Hello 👋 Are you traveling with your dog to Thailand? It’s gonna be a really long flight for your dog… We flew him from LAX to ICN initially, in cargo. We stayed in Korea almost a year before coming to Thailand. Then this time he flew from Korea to Thailand.
ORIGINALLY FROM THE STATES.. We prepared his docs 3 months prior to our trip and we are glad we started early because we got the most important doc the day before our flight 😬 (they say minimum 2 months before, but we recommend 3)
From Korea to Thailand, we had to prepare a month before the trip, even though he already had most of the docs from the previous flight. Thailand requires rabies vaccine right before departure and a permit for your dog, on top of rabies titer and microchip. Hope this helps! 😉
International School in Thailand cost around $20k-30k a year. Thanks for the vid :)
Okay. Seems pretty similar to what a lot of people are saying or atleast in that ball park range. Thanks for the info 😃❤️🫰🙏!
Hahaha😂Rats are everywhere! They usually give me a mini heart attack especially at night😅
We noticed that too! Some parts have more than others 😅.
@@ChovyTravel Yess! Them
Be lurking around the trash areas too😂😂
Yes! 😅
Bro you should go to Mega Bangna Mall if you want to feel like local mall trust me this is huge
Appreciate the recommendation 😃❤️🫰🙏. It’s definitely on the list. Any specific recommendation of the huge mall to check out?
You have to get off at Udom Suk BTS station and catch a Mall courtesy Bus near 7 eleven
Got it, thank you 😃❤️🫰🙏!
International school in Thai cost around 200,000++ bath per 1 term and have 3 terms per year. Some school 1 million++ per term😅
Oh wow! That’s expensive lol😅😬.
สวัสดีครับออกจากประเทศไทยแล้วหรือครับ
Went to Vietnam for a quick Trip and then Back to Thailand 😁. We have a upcoming trip back to Korea just to visit family and then back again to Thailand 😃.
I'd like to review the room as well. Will it be good or not? How much does it cost? Is the internet strong?🥰
The room seemed okay. From what I remember, we paid approximately $50-$75 usd per night. Internet seemed pretty good. Not as good as Korea 😉 but not bad.
@@ChovyTravelGosh! If you're gonna stay long-term, the rent should be 1/3 or less of what you're paying.
That’s true 😁! Just need to figure out our best option and then look for a place.
Have you checked inside any condominuim nearby you if there are any washers and driers? Though, you are not residents, you are able to use the laundry service. Sorry, I cannot fail to find the clip that you mentioned about this service,so I just put my comment right here.
We have checked out 2 and they weren’t quite what we were looking for.
No worries 😁. No problem! After Korea and Malaysia, we will continue our search for a fitting condo to live in and hopefully visa situation will be taken care of and we can finally exploring a lot more of Thailand 😃
McDonald's fried chicken is the best , don't miss it.
What!!?? Really!? OoO idk that’s a bold statement. Now you’re making us want to check out McDonalds in Thailand 🤔.
I noticed there were some McDonald’s fans from our subscribers. Is it that good here in Thailand?
@@ChovyTravel better than kfc for me especially the spicy one
Really!? Oh Wow! Very Interesting 🤔. Spicy Chicken at KFC wasn’t really spicy.
@@ChovyTravel for kfc it just peper lv spicy
but Mcdonald you will feel the kick
and what you should try is plum sauce on mc nugget and it also has sweet chili sauce for chicken as well
Sounds delicious 🤤. Making my mouth water just responding back to you 😅. Appreciate the recommendation 😃❤️🫰🙏!
👍♥️🧡💞💕
Thank you 😃🫰❤️🙏!
What about you go out off Thailand and come back in on the same day or stay over for 1 night.
Thought about it. If needed we will but in the meantime we would look into other options. I think we want to stay longer than a month at a time 😃. Appreciate the recommendation 🫰❤️!
ถ้าพวกคุณ สื่อสารภาษาไทย ขั้นพื้นฐานได้ พวกคุณจะมีความสุขในการท่องเที่ยวประเทศไทย
I know, right!!??
We do need to learn more Thai 😔
It’s so hard to learn a new language for us but we will keep trying 😃❤️🫰🙏
Thank you so much
The man in the black polo cannot receive your order. He cannot remember and does not who comes first. You need to order at your table so they can serve you the correct order.
That’s true 😁. The tables were outdoor and we saw everyone ordering at the food stalls so we just followed what everyone else did 😅.
@@ChovyTravelYou must wait at your table then he or she will get your order. (For the big restaurant.)
Yeah we never do that at a restaurant 😁. Since this was a outdoor food court, everyone was ordering at the food stalls.
It's the first time I've ever seen a merchant being rather rude. As far as I can see, he is probably an employee of these food stalls from neighboring countries, Because Thai people don't chew betel nuts, look at his black lips.
@@ChovyTravelbecause this shop has a lot of customers. If he receives your order he needs to remember because he has a lot of orders before you. It’s not dependent on the outdoor food court or indoor but depending on how much the customer for the shop.
Have I missed it again?
Didn't see any.
My favorite menu at Mickey D is a pineapple pie. To me, it's the same level of deliciousness as KFC's egg tarts.
I don’t think so 🤔. Really!!?? What!!?? They have a pineapple pie!!?? Sounds good!
No,Don’t eat Pad Kra Prao everyday.but you can eat Thai noodles everyday ,they have many type of Noodles.5555555
😂 But Pad Krapao is so amazing! We can eat both of them everyday 😅😅😅.
@@ChovyTravelme too😂
Lol 😂!
