We need more IRL content. Moving to a different country every month is a crazy and really cool thing to do, and I bet plenty of people would like to follow your journey.
As a Thai person, seeing you in Bangkok has made my day, happy to see my culture represented on a "global" scale. Anyways, you should definitely check out the inner city area near the palace, theres a ton of unique and interesting buildings and districts with old histories there. Anywhere on Rattanakosin island will probably be fine. Would love to see your interesting vlogs there!
@@somerandompatriotsfan4415 There's also great cities over Thailand other than those 2, but they are certainly the ones that most foreigners go to the most.
2:00 4th location is called “Mueang Boran” (Ancient City). It’s a place where they built reduced sized models of all the important places from all around the country. It’s a very good place to visit in case you don’t have time to travel around the country. You can just come here and see all the important places with in one day.
As a Thai person who practically lives on the internet and mostly consumes western content, it's so surreal seeing places that I've seen or have been to in person like this. It's very refreshing to experience the city I've lived in my whole life from a new point of view. The thing I really recommend the most in Thailand is to try out our street food. Thai cuisine in general is something I'm immensely proud of, but I feel that the most quintessential Thai experience is being pleasantly surprised by extremely cheap street food. Also our coconut milk ice cream (ไอติมกะทิ) is amazing. It's pretty commonly found at various tourist destinations. I'm glad you seem to be enjoying your stay in Bangkok thus far and I'm looking forward to seeing more of this type of content.
@@barrier6026 As a Thai person, I watched English videos from TH-camrs ever since I was a kid. So I think that's also how these people know and speak English so well. Even some of my teachers were confused on how I spoke so fluently and clearly. เป็นคนไทยจริงๆนะ ไม่โกหก
Bro! Literally if you just walk around *insert random city in the world* with comments like "ooo look at that lake, that tree,...etc" with random insert of your thoughts on what's like living in that country/city so far and random meta shit. we'd be happy. It's soo refreshing seeing you out in the other worlds, and you really look like a kid in candy shop, really happy to see you finally get to enjoy the world and also fun for us to travel with you through your view/thoughts.
I honestly really enjoy these because you are showing us new places with a genuine reaction. You enjoy the simple things and enjoy learning about these beautiful places you’ve seen so many times on geoguessr. It’s way better than changing who you are because you’re in front of the camera. Keep doing you and don’t overthink it 👍🏼
This was really wholesome, seeing you how Happy you are there is really more than enough content, Feel free to do more of whatever you like regardless if you feel if it's bad content. I personally enjoyed you walking around and showing us more of Thailand that we'd usually never see ourselves. Keep it up man!
Being completely honest, the evolution of your channel has been phenomenal to see. I am a huge fan of travel channels, and while I originally followed you for the GeoGuessr content, this shift has been so interesting to watch. I love that you tie in your appreciation of GeoGuessr into your travel vlogs! More IRL content please!
I love this style of travel vlog. It doesn't have to be the absolute highlights of a location to make a watchable video. I really enjoyed discovering and appreciating the little wonders along with you. I felt the same way about your Madeira video. I think Geoguessr is unironically an amazing tool for exploration because it shows you those spots that maybe most people don't know about (and you probably wouldn't have found otherwise) and then you get to have a cool experience :) 11:58 That's exactly it. It's definitely not bad content! Because of your video we get to "walk around and see things" without actually being there. So I know I can't be the only one enjoying this style of content. I don't think you need to do anything differently!
this is content, you worry way too much, most people that watch this love just seeing different cities, buildings, sightseeing and so on also seeing how excited you are about everything is super wholesome
8:03 “let’s enjoy the quietness” *loud siren starts two seconds later* loving the vlog type videos Trevor ❤️! Hope you have a wonderful time out there :)
You could actually 100% do IRL streams of just exploring whatever country you’re in. You really have the perfect laidback/chill personality for it and are already living that lifestyle, and I’m sure there are people who would love to sit back and relax for a few hours or more and see a part of the world they’ve never seen before
This is great vlog content tbh! You get your personality, also your perspective as a geoguessr pro being in a new country and it’s very cool to see that! Also love that you go out of your way to show dog or cat content🥺🥺
Dude this a great vlog. I think you may be overthinking this a bit much but I understand. Don’t worry about trying to capture super exhilarating stuff, just do whatever you enjoy. These chill shots of you just cruising around and showing neat looking areas are awesome. Keep it up bro. Safe travels!
It's cool that you seem to be enjoying your globe-trotting adventures. It's an interesting take on the whole GeoGuessr thing, not just seeing the places but exploring them more in-depth. Keep on keeping on. Maybe get a battery pack so you can film more.
Hey Rain, I didn't even subscribe to you before this vid. The passing Geo content is fun but not something I want everyday - but the combination with IRL content is really great and something I can watch all the time. Subbed.
I lived in Thailand for a couple years, Bangkok is a beautiful city. You will also love Chiang Mai and Phuket. Krabi is also totally worth a visit in southern Thailand - a little less touristy than Phuket and insanely beautiful. Go see the Tiger Cave Temple if you get out there! Also if you get the chance, north-eastern Thailand (the "Esan") is much less visited and less touristy than everywhere else, it has a whole different vibe. I lived in Nongkhai along the Laotion border for 4 or 5 months while I was there, there's a bridge that connects Nongkhai with Vientiane (which...by the way is pronounced "wiang-jan" in Laotion - the romanized spelling of that city makes no sense to how you say it) over the Mekong river, and there's some cool temples/markets as well. All of Thailand is amazing though, hope you enjoy your visit!
Dont stress about the content, its interesting as is seeing someone in a new place and taking it all in. When you get a bit more confident it be cool to chat to some locals as I bet theyd be as interested to talk with you as the audience. Its good stuff and a really cool concept to try out living so many different places, keep it up m8
Super fun video and creative content too! Excited to see more of this type of stuff. Would love to see your video on the Netherlands! Also the "omg guys, it's a cat." was a mood and a half. Those nails slay
few ideas for your videos; pretty soon it will come naturally to you 1. talk to people. seeing the people where you are is the best form of content 2. music for transitions and such 3. local traditions / activities / etc
For me, Bangkok was too chaotic for me to really enjoy. Chang mai was a good mix of town/city with less stress and people. Hope you enjoy thailand when youre there however :). The monorail/tram system isnt hard to master either. Love the IRL stuff BTW.
still can't i'm living in the same city as the legend himself right now!! (and you've picked a really uncharacteristic time to live in bangkok, it's usually not this cold here hahahhaa) anyways, welcome to thailand! i hope you enjoy your stay here! there's lots of things to do, and lots of good food to eat which are all different in different regions of thailand too :D
also just some random thoughts in case you're finding things to do in bangkok: - for historical/cultural centers: rattanakosin island (it's not actually an island but there were once canals surrounding the area) - for more chic/modern cafes/walkable area: i prefer ari - for parks: there's lumpini park, rotfai park, among others - for food: one of the most famous is the Chinatown in yaowarat - for fast paced modern shopping zones: siam and surrounding areas are good - and there's also a building shaped like an elephant if you wanna stop by haha! i also enjoyed travelling to many provinces that aren't exactly that well known in tourist recs but if you have the time my favourite are: nan (in the north), ayutthaya (central), loei (northeast), petchabun (khao koh is a great camping area), or if you like more serene beaches id totally recommend the southern islands (my top picks are similan islands and koh tao island)! anyways, love your content a lot!!
This type of content is great! It's such a good idea to let go to waste on trying to look for things that are "exciting" like 'breaking plates' etc... Dale Phillip is a great example of someone that does what you like to do, and it's super interesting to see what is great about other cultures and immerses himself as much as he can while still technically being a tourist. If you haven't seen his content before I would highly recommend it and maybe take some inspiration from it as well! But yeah my point is, exploring new cultures is incredibly interesting by it's self and can make for great content also! :D
Been there with my girlfriend for two days a few weeks ago. Couple of fun places to check out that we enjoyed a lot: The night markets at Jodd Fair. Lots of local street food like mango sticky rice, durians and various kinds of seafood. Was very crowded when we were there, but nice atmosphere and very fun place to spend an evening exploring Thai food and items with friends. Mahanakon tower skybar, I think it's the tallest building. We went to the top (pretty expensive, I think 40 euros per person, though one free drink is included). There's a glass floor you can lie on and you'll see the city below. Photos look dazzling, Bangkok at night looks beautiful. Temples. All of them. They're very beautiful. Closely look at the opening times, because some of them are closed pretty early. We only had time to visit Wat Phra Chetuphon, the one with the reclining Buddha. Everything is super colourful and gold. Made some really nice sunset photos too. We got there by public ferry, which was a nice way to see Bangkok from the river. Oh, yeah don't be us and get scammed by eating in touristy restaurants. If you find the right places, food is very cheap Would love to go back some day. Lots more to explore that we missed out on
I like seeing stuff walking around, and randomly finding "thailand meta" things, like the taxi, it's cool, even if it isn't breaking plates or if there's no made up stakes like "I Flew To 23 Countries in 24 Hours" and shit like that. Chill vibes and seeing the environment with your geoguessr knowledge is already good stuff
Basic Thai lesson: Thank you: Kop khun krap (a as in father) stop here: Jot tee nee (can be useful for taxies) how much?: Tau rai can you discount?: Lot noi dai mai? - When buying from smaller shops and street vendors it's a must hello: Sawadee krap (again, a as in father for "krap") I feel good: Sabai dee Thais LOVE when foringers try to speak thai a little. Don't worry if it sounds perfect. They will appreciate that you try
This is really interesting! Your way of discovering the world is fascinating and I would do that similarly too, so I am a big fan of this type of video. Have fun in this country, gg man
Dont change anything on your vlogs, they are amazing and very interesting to watch. Me personally, I dont like the vlogs where they do 100 different things and its just way too messy. Your vlogs are calm, informative and just easy to watch
I really liked this video, so excited for the rest. Honestly, my favorite bits were the scenic shots (especially at the park), and also you talking candidly about what it feels like to record / live there! I think the most interesting part for me is the experience you're having as a foreigner embarking on something spontaneous like this.
Really good vlog! Do what makes you happy cuz if you're happy doing it then the content won't feel forced! Seeing you experiencing new things is really nice to see. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Thailand :)
If you're living in Bangkok for a few months, you should definitely learn to use the public transport system, both the sky train and the subway! Not only will it help you get into the mindset and groove of the city, but many of the stops will take you to key locations that I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss out on. Edit: Also, make sure to learn the local etiquette in public transport. Wearing masks is not always required but sometimes doing it out of courtesy for others, I find, is right
I was surprised by how good the public transport was in Bangkok compared to where I'm from! Very cheap and efficient. Taking the ferry along the river was one of the biggest highlights of my trip for sure.
I’m from Kanchanaburi and I second the Erawan recommendation! It’s so pretty and they even let you swim in the waterfalls themselves which is a super cool experience
As a thai person I would definitely recommend traveling to some northern and southern parts of the country. the people are amazing and the scenery is beautiful
icl i don't really follow you closely but i love the idea of visiting new places often and i'd love to see more irl content about that from you :) also, i've been to thailand ages ago and it's super chill, while i do like your idea of just walking about, perhaps a bit of prior research as to where cool hotspots are located would help since you'd be able to walk and explore but be assured of cool stuff around as well.
the vlogs are great! dont worry too much of conforming to high adrenaline content, its most fun to watch when your actually having fun, no matter what your getting up to. Safe travels!
random fact but that preserved aircraft at 1:36 is the Lockheed L-1011-385-1 TriStar 1 which formerly flew for Thai Sky Airlines (that can be found because of the registration 'SH-AXE' underneath the wing). At the time of it's debut and release (in 1972) it was one of the most technically advanced aircraft of it's time (ironically reading a book about the exact same plane) *personally it is also one of my favourite aircraft as well
I love wandering around when I am abroad - you often end up in beautiful places. Haven't been to Asia yet, but the cities there seem huuge. Too big for wandering around 😅. So I appreciate the way you chose where to go. Don't worry, I enjoy this type of content and from the comments I've read, I am not the only one.
As a Thai person, I recommend checking out my hometown, Kanchanaburi! Some highlights in the area include the River Kwai Bridge (a famous bridge used in WW2), Erawan National Park (a national park with beautiful waterfalls that you can even swim in!), and Wat Tham Suea (a beautiful temple on the top of a mountain that offers breathtaking views)! I’m Enjoying the vlogs a bunch and can’t wait to see more Thailand videos!
My favourite part about Bangkok Thai post boxes is how they say "Bangkok" and "Other places" =). The 5th place is koh kret, nice little created island with a bunch of crafty stuff. Including one of the original local thai craft brewers (chit beer). Fattys bar and diner is a friendly place to visit, tuesday nights are usually a good time ;)
I've got to suggest going to this resort on a big island off of Phuket. It's came Santhinya Koh Yao Yai. It's unbelievably beautiful, cheap, and the island is very quiet and peaceful.
Would be cool if you made a solid effort to learn some of the languages of the places you are moving around to. Not only would it make living in places not dominated by English easier to live in, but it'd probably help at actually getting better at geoguessr. Just being able to pronounce something not in Latin script could be a huge clue (Cyrillic comes to mind here)
Ey! I lived in Thailand for 9 years, so glad you visited! These thai metas show how much you know about the country even from a screen away haha! Very respectful too
Going to parks as a tourist is really enjoyable. They're usually not touristy, usually free, and often lots of interesting things to do and see, and people to talk with.
you're doing a great job with the vlogging - i can only imagine that its difficult when its new to you. its very nice to see you out and about instead of exclusively on geoguessr. i envy what you are doing and all i can say is congrats on seizing the opporotunity to live like this. looking forward to more
The green sign you saw is sort of a government notice for any public project. What it does is basically notifies people about what the public project is, when is it begin, and how much it cost. It’s usually in front of public building, roads, etc.
honestly I love content of people walking around new places. Nomadic Ambience and Rambalac are two of my favorite channels on TH-cam. While videos like that probably won't get as popular as your Geoguessr content, you'll definitely have part of your fanbase who really enjoys that type of content.
The 2nd spot is super dope, it's a peninsula full of nature and elevated cycling paths right in Bangkok. It's a super cool place, I would recommend everyone who visits Bangkok to see it for a day, I loved it there!
Taxis in Bangkok are pretty good, but you should definitely use the MRT rail system - it's way faster for getting around most of the city than sitting in a cab, and you can always catch a taxi for the last part.
I recommend going to a 7/11 and doing a food or snack review, Thailand has a fairly solid food catalogue in their convenience store, and I would recommend grabbing a Strawberry Milk, its really good.
I fucking love these videos, keep up the good work and don't worry about doing particular things while u vlog, personally I really enjoy a chill vlog walking around a beautiful city!
well, welcome to our country I hope you enjoy our beautiful city and culture as a Thai native myself I can show you around Bangkok if you wanted to (live here for about 10 yrs study and work) Im so happy that you moved here btw
Just be you man. The more vlogs u do in public, the more comfortable you are gonna get and most people would just Think: “Aaaah a youtuber or a vlogger”. Love this thing Where you go to places, from geoguesser! 👌🏼💪🏼 Big W this video is my guy. Peace from a Scandinavian.
would love to see you hit up the thai coast and have a water adventure. maybe skiing or checking out caves on the coast. that would be super fun and good content too!
I would enjoy watching exactly the kind of things you described in the video. Just waking around and looking at cool things. Don't feel pressured to do something that's not you just for content
love this irl content, especially from a country like Thailand, which we in the west don't know that much about btw, about the irl vlogging, I think you'll get used to it with time, cuz even other youtubers that are known for vlogging get uncomfortable filming outside every now and then, I think it's a normal reaction but the more you do it, the more natural it'll feel
We need more IRL content. Moving to a different country every month is a crazy and really cool thing to do, and I bet plenty of people would like to follow your journey.

Yeah, but some places in Mueang Boran is just fictional.
It's more of a pseudo historical theme park.
The Netherlands has that too! It’s called Maduro-dam, and it’s a miniature of the Netherlands and its famous and popular places!
This is the first time I've seen him outside and it's surprisingly wholesome.

also just some random thoughts in case you're finding things to do in bangkok:
- for historical/cultural centers: rattanakosin island (it's not actually an island but there were once canals surrounding the area)
- for more chic/modern cafes/walkable area: i prefer ari
- for parks: there's lumpini park, rotfai park, among others
- for food: one of the most famous is the Chinatown in yaowarat
- for fast paced modern shopping zones: siam and surrounding areas are good
- and there's also a building shaped like an elephant if you wanna stop by haha!
i also enjoyed travelling to many provinces that aren't exactly that well known in tourist recs but if you have the time my favourite are: nan (in the north), ayutthaya (central), loei (northeast), petchabun (khao koh is a great camping area), or if you like more serene beaches id totally recommend the southern islands (my top picks are similan islands and koh tao island)! anyways, love your content a lot!!

stop here: Jot tee nee (can be useful for taxies)
how much?: Tau rai
can you discount?: Lot noi dai mai? - When buying from smaller shops and street vendors it's a must
hello: Sawadee krap (again, a as in father for "krap")
I feel good: Sabai dee
Thais LOVE when foringers try to speak thai a little. Don't worry if it sounds perfect. They will appreciate that you try
This is very helpful, thank you. I think even if you can learn just a few words your experience in any country is so much better.
There’s so much beautiful stuff in Thailand to see and do. The more u vlog the better you’ll get, hope to see more GOAT
this is one of my fav videos u ever made! so much fun
Yo trevor, we live for this IRL content. Thank you!
first of all: your nails look super cute!
secondly: this was so fun! I love seeing places through other people's eyes. Keep it up
seeing you excited about my country just made my day
This is really interesting! Your way of discovering the world is fascinating and I would do that similarly too, so I am a big fan of this type of video. Have fun in this country, gg man
Dont change anything on your vlogs, they are amazing and very interesting to watch. Me personally, I dont like the vlogs where they do 100 different things and its just way too messy. Your vlogs are calm, informative and just easy to watch
I really liked this video, so excited for the rest. Honestly, my favorite bits were the scenic shots (especially at the park), and also you talking candidly about what it feels like to record / live there! I think the most interesting part for me is the experience you're having as a foreigner embarking on something spontaneous like this.
big fan of this content, glad you are enjoying exploring new countries.
I love these kinds of videos, thanks Trevor ❤️
Really good vlog! Do what makes you happy cuz if you're happy doing it then the content won't feel forced! Seeing you experiencing new things is really nice to see. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Thailand :)
this is wholesome af
i love vlogs like this, thank you! you are doing great
Living vicariously through your travels and how you apply them to geoguessr. Love the irl content
If you're living in Bangkok for a few months, you should definitely learn to use the public transport system, both the sky train and the subway! Not only will it help you get into the mindset and groove of the city, but many of the stops will take you to key locations that I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss out on.
Edit: Also, make sure to learn the local etiquette in public transport. Wearing masks is not always required but sometimes doing it out of courtesy for others, I find, is right
I was surprised by how good the public transport was in Bangkok compared to where I'm from! Very cheap and efficient. Taking the ferry along the river was one of the biggest highlights of my trip for sure.
I can recommend you the erewan national parc near Kanchanaburi. The landscape there is beautiful and there are a lot of stunning waterfalls.
I’m from Kanchanaburi and I second the Erawan recommendation! It’s so pretty and they even let you swim in the waterfalls themselves which is a super cool experience
@@benana_3 climbed erawan twice. such a beautiful hike!
As a thai person I would definitely recommend traveling to some northern and southern parts of the country. the people are amazing and the scenery is beautiful
icl i don't really follow you closely but i love the idea of visiting new places often and i'd love to see more irl content about that from you :)
also, i've been to thailand ages ago and it's super chill, while i do like your idea of just walking about, perhaps a bit of prior research as to where cool hotspots are located would help since you'd be able to walk and explore but be assured of cool stuff around as well.
the vlogs are great! dont worry too much of conforming to high adrenaline content, its most fun to watch when your actually having fun, no matter what your getting up to. Safe travels!
I think the optimal day is just standing in front of and observing the dog
I LOVE this!!! Amazing blend of content types, so much fun.
random fact but that preserved aircraft at 1:36 is the Lockheed L-1011-385-1 TriStar 1 which formerly flew for Thai Sky Airlines (that can be found because of the registration 'SH-AXE' underneath the wing).
At the time of it's debut and release (in 1972) it was one of the most technically advanced aircraft of it's time (ironically reading a book about the exact same plane)
*personally it is also one of my favourite aircraft as well
I’ve never played Geoguessr before but I love your content, especially the weekly tournaments. Keep it up!
Welcome to Thailand! Hope you have an amazing time in Bangkok!
I love wandering around when I am abroad - you often end up in beautiful places. Haven't been to Asia yet, but the cities there seem huuge. Too big for wandering around 😅. So I appreciate the way you chose where to go.
Don't worry, I enjoy this type of content and from the comments I've read, I am not the only one.
I moved to Phuket a couple months ago and I'm loving every second of it!
It would be cool to hang out when you come here!!
As a Thai person, I recommend checking out my hometown, Kanchanaburi! Some highlights in the area include the River Kwai Bridge (a famous bridge used in WW2), Erawan National Park (a national park with beautiful waterfalls that you can even swim in!), and Wat Tham Suea (a beautiful temple on the top of a mountain that offers breathtaking views)!
I’m Enjoying the vlogs a bunch and can’t wait to see more Thailand videos!
First
I'm loving seeing the world through your eyes. Keep it simple and keep your eyes open.
I like the text jokes you added haha. Your vlogs are nice and real Trevor! Keep it up! I also enjoy just walking in the new city😊
please do this for every country you go to, this is sick fucking content
This guy is going places (literally)
Best vlog I've seen in a while so don't stress, keep up the great content!
My favourite part about Bangkok Thai post boxes is how they say "Bangkok" and "Other places" =). The 5th place is koh kret, nice little created island with a bunch of crafty stuff. Including one of the original local thai craft brewers (chit beer). Fattys bar and diner is a friendly place to visit, tuesday nights are usually a good time ;)
I literally just came to Thailand for a trip yesterday! Hope I'll run into you in Bangkok!
I've got to suggest going to this resort on a big island off of Phuket. It's came Santhinya Koh Yao Yai. It's unbelievably beautiful, cheap, and the island is very quiet and peaceful.
the captions are so funny hahaha, love the content trevor!!
Please keep doling this, its really fun to watch. Doing what loads of people want to do irl
Would be cool if you made a solid effort to learn some of the languages of the places you are moving around to. Not only would it make living in places not dominated by English easier to live in, but it'd probably help at actually getting better at geoguessr. Just being able to pronounce something not in Latin script could be a huge clue (Cyrillic comes to mind here)
Ey! I lived in Thailand for 9 years, so glad you visited! These thai metas show how much you know about the country even from a screen away haha! Very respectful too
Going to parks as a tourist is really enjoyable. They're usually not touristy, usually free, and often lots of interesting things to do and see, and people to talk with.
you're doing a great job with the vlogging - i can only imagine that its difficult when its new to you. its very nice to see you out and about instead of exclusively on geoguessr. i envy what you are doing and all i can say is congrats on seizing the opporotunity to live like this. looking forward to more
Great video bro. Thank you for appreciating Thailand hope you have a great time while you are here.
The green sign you saw is sort of a government notice for any public project. What it does is basically notifies people about what the public project is, when is it begin, and how much it cost. It’s usually in front of public building, roads, etc.
honestly I love content of people walking around new places. Nomadic Ambience and Rambalac are two of my favorite channels on TH-cam. While videos like that probably won't get as popular as your Geoguessr content, you'll definitely have part of your fanbase who really enjoys that type of content.
getting the nail done was the best part for me, looks gorgeous on u
The 2nd spot is super dope, it's a peninsula full of nature and elevated cycling paths right in Bangkok. It's a super cool place, I would recommend everyone who visits Bangkok to see it for a day, I loved it there!
Taxis in Bangkok are pretty good, but you should definitely use the MRT rail system - it's way faster for getting around most of the city than sitting in a cab, and you can always catch a taxi for the last part.
I recommend going to a 7/11 and doing a food or snack review, Thailand has a fairly solid food catalogue in their convenience store, and I would recommend grabbing a Strawberry Milk, its really good.
You are literally living my dream rn. It's amazing
I fucking love these videos, keep up the good work and don't worry about doing particular things while u vlog, personally I really enjoy a chill vlog walking around a beautiful city!
well, welcome to our country I hope you enjoy our beautiful city and culture
as a Thai native myself I can show you around Bangkok if you wanted to (live here for about 10 yrs study and work)
Im so happy that you moved here btw
Just be you man. The more vlogs u do in public, the more comfortable you are gonna get and most people would just Think: “Aaaah a youtuber or a vlogger”. Love this thing Where you go to places, from geoguesser! 👌🏼💪🏼
Big W this video is my guy. Peace from a Scandinavian.
would love to see you hit up the thai coast and have a water adventure. maybe skiing or checking out caves on the coast. that would be super fun and good content too!
I would enjoy watching exactly the kind of things you described in the video. Just waking around and looking at cool things. Don't feel pressured to do something that's not you just for content
love the irl content! you should vlog in rural thai if you can do that, that would be interesting
This is such a cool idea to learn and explore diffrent countries. Love this!!
love this irl content, especially from a country like Thailand, which we in the west don't know that much about
btw, about the irl vlogging, I think you'll get used to it with time, cuz even other youtubers that are known for vlogging get uncomfortable filming outside every now and then, I think it's a normal reaction but the more you do it, the more natural it'll feel
