- We're exploring Phuket and Bangkok in this week's Thailand travel vlog. Thailand is a beautiful Southeast Asian country that has SO much to offer for so little cost. Check out our experiences island hopping, floating on lily pads, tasting local foods at markets, admiring the most beautiful temples, riding the busy streets by motorbike and tuk tuk, and gaining new perspectives from Black expats who have lived in Thailand for years. We also go over some of the Thailand travel requirements. This video goes over everything we did and associated costs so you can start planning for your Thailand trip!
Watch this video to see how we spent 5 days in Thailand for $455/pp. Prices can of course vary depending on dates, and the number of people you travel with. This is just to give you an idea!

There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about Phuket! lol My wife and I lived there for 3 months during the pandemic and it was a life changing experience. Next time you go, it's an ABSOLUTE MUST that you visit Freedom Beach; the most beautiful beach on the main island. It cost like 200 baht for admission but it's worth every penny!
We love your vlog man! Can't wait to see more!
p.s - we plan on going to costa rica because of your video. thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you thank you sooo much for the kind words and support to our channel. Phuket was an amazing time and we wish we had more time. Thank you for the suggestions. We are actually going back to thailand later this year so we will absolutely put it on our list! I hope you guys have an amazing time there
Stumbled across your channel through the Singapore video (as I was planning an upcoming trip). Stayed for the rest! Your channel has quickly become my fav for travels!
Welcome aboard! We are so happy that you enjoy our content and have gotten good information from our experience. We are so humbled by this response and have a ton more content for you coming soon!
I really want to go to Thailand next year to celebrate my husband and I 15th year marriage anniversary and 20years being together. It will be our first overseas trip ever, not counting our trips we've taken to the Caribbean. The only thing that has me super duper nervous is the long flights to get there😓. I already dont really like to fly anyway so all that time in air makes my heart jump just thinking about it!! After watching all your thailand content though, it has me so determined and giving me the courage to make that trip! Great content guys👍🏽I stumbled across your Iceland content and have been watching all your videos since. You have a new subscriber😉
Thank you so much for the kind words and all the support to our channel! It means so much to us! I believe you should make the trip. Its so nice and worth it. Definitely spend some time there though
Wow, the Big Buddha temple was so beautiful! Congrats on getting married and thanks for sharing this adventure! Thank you for comments such as being cognizant of your wardrobe for visiting places like that as well as talking about donations. I appreciate that you both are respectful and ethical on your travels! Also, have you thought about selling your itineraries?
Thank you so so much for the kind words and watching our video. We are so happy you enjoyed it, we had an amazing time! We try to support the local economy as much as possible because we are all one human race. At the end of the day our "small" donations mean so much to them. Also we have thought about it and hope to have some from everywhere that we visit!
Yep, love The Last Avatar!
Soo cool to see right!
Totally enjoyed watching your Thailand adventures. I’ll be heading to Phuket and will be making a pit stop in Bangkok on the way back so this was perfect!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot that you enjoyed the content.

What a lovely couple, I like your reaction , very natural
, not too much not to less. I recommend you try to use mass transit like skytrain or subway. It’s very convenient and clean to avoid traffic.
Thanks for the tips! We definitely appreciate the kind words. We will be back for the skytrain soon!
Looked amazing good job guys

Thank you for watching and supporting our channel!
I just love your amazing journeys!!!! Did you really eat that scorpion 😳
Thanks for watching and supporting our channel! We truly appreciate all of the kind words. Yes I had to eat the scorpion
Another cool video. Thanks yall! I really want to go to Thailand and Bali in one trip.
Thank you, stay tuned you just may see Bali Next!!
@@ChewsToExplore Yall!!!! All my bucketlist places!!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 I watch all of your videos btw. Lol... I dont always comment though. In 2020, I was supposed to spend 2 weeks in Thailand(going to various parts) then going to Bali for a week since the flight to Bali from Thailand had a low roundtrip cost... but covid. 🙄 lol....
Great video !!!!
Thank you so much!!
1st I love you guys as a couple and your videos!! Thank you for the cost breakdowns and the itinerary with the amount of time/distance it takes to get there! These details are so important. Question : do you guys have a list of places you stayed in Thailand and the cost some where?
Thanks for watching! We truly appreciate you checking out our videos and supporting our channel. Unfortunately not a full list, just what we reference in the video.
This is heavy! Okay first Patong beach 🏝 this brought me back when I first visited 3 years ago, bro you think that was madness? I was looking and said “where is everyone?” Lol it’s great to see Thailand recovering from the pandemic but from what I remember in that specific area, it was too lit for tv. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this entire video, it really brought me back. You even managed to get to a few places I didn’t make time for like Big Buddah and floating market. When I went they told me floating market was only on the weekends? That one spot with frog ponds was cool to see too. That drone was doing its work lol. I’m with you when it comes to Phuket or Bangkok, it’s just to Big and to Busy for my taste. Looking towards the next video bro. Oh and thanks to you I’ve set my eyes on Asia next :)
Thanks for the support on our channel bro. Haha I couldn't even imagine how crazy that must be. As you said I couldn't include all the stuff that was there on Patong beach but it was definitely crazy. Glad I could show you Thailand from a different perspective. It's crazy because I didn't plan to get here but luckily was able to find so much to do.You will go crazy with the content here bro. Plus it's a new audience. Tons of growth to be made with this audience.
Thank you
Thanks for watching
She’s a happy babe 👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾✨✨✨ beautiful vibe Queen!!!
Thank you so much! I am happy you enjoy our content! I'm blessed to have my queen here
I loooooved Thailand when I went, and I already want to go back. I only went to Bangkok, so taking some tips from yall on where to go in the other cities.
Thank you so much for the support, we loved Thailand and ended up here by accident actually. But hope you visit soon!
I have to keep notifications on lol I’ve missed so much! I was like where are they lol I need inspiration
Haha yes put on those bell notifications. We’ve done a lot of exploring and i still have so much more to show you guys!
Awesome video and beautiful couple!
Heading there next month, was it easy to communicate where to go with all the taxi, scooter, and tuk tuk drivers?
Any advice? Thanks!
Thank you so much, I hope you have an amazing trip to thailand. Yes the drivers were super easy to navigate. We do not speak any thai and were able to communicate to almost everyone there!
Really nice travel vlog 🙌!! How do you find affordable flights to Asian countries from the USA?
Check out our youtube video in our travel tips playlist about finding cheap flights!
Hey chews live this video
Can i ask what travel insurance did you guys use for your vacation
Sorry I cannot make a recommendation as it always varies depending on the trip. My Wife is the one who usually handles those things let me ask her.
Olivia, could you share with me what kind of turquoise travel backpack you are using in this video? I’d like to get something like that. Thanks!
THat bag is an osprey 40L bag you can check them out online!

Thank you for supporting my video!
Did you get currency before leaving the US or when you arrived? I’m going to Thailand next month and trying to ensure I everything beforehand…
I got currency when I arrived via the ATM of exchanging it there
Not the white Blondie staring at you in the plane
haha it happens but we will still move!
When are you going to Dubai?🌺
I just helped my mom on her trip to dubai for her 60th birthday so probably sometime next year if we can
When is the best time to go when flights are cheaper and weather is good
Thank you so much for the support! Go outside of monsoon season
I did not see the private driver information to the Big Buddha. Can you please provide or show me where I can obtain it. Thank you, I'm heading to Thailand in 5 days.
Sorry for the late message, check the description, I believe the information is there
Hi hi how do you book for the islands tour
I forget off the top of my head but i have an entire video on how i booked it on my channel. Check out my Thailand playlist
How do you do your currency exchange?
We usually go to a money exchange place in the town. It is usually a lot better rate than at the airport
How did you do with the language? Do most people speak English?
Thanks for watching and supporting my videos. We did not have much of any problem communicating. Most people who were involved with tourism were able to speak english with us
good ass travel vlog channel
Thank you so much for checking out our video and supporting our channel! We are happy you enjoy our content!
Not to sound rude or mean. But are these really budget trips if plpe use travel miles to pay for things. Because the average person don't have points or miles to help with financing they trip. So is it really budget? Because the prices we see aint what yall post lol.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful comments. Our platform is to show that you can travel and make things affordable. We use miles and points to offset a lot of the costs but this is accessible to many people. Actually on this trip to Thailand, we used 0 miles or points. These are all of our cash prices. We started in Singapore and that is why it was a cheap flight and the hotels are cheap. Truly appreciate you support and commenting about it. It is definitely a good conversation to have
Here’s a video we made about how to travel more on any budget. You can see it here th-cam.com/video/4ENQa9pX14Y/w-d-xo.html
@@ChewsToExplore thank u
May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, & his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."
God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, & the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus & put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) & stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?
Thank you
