- Street interview people in Khaosan Road and Soi Rambutturi in Bangkok, Thailand. We find out that Thailand is not everyone's number-one country to travel in.
We're talking about Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and more.
We filmed this on and around Khaosan Road; goo.gl/maps/5XDwDszeGBBmPDzp9

I've been mostly into southeast asia but there is something different in the Philippines, the vibes, the people and the experience itself is amazing. No communication barrier, everyone is friendly.
Thank you for visiting the Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤
the problem is Philippines govt did not do or spend well on their tourism marketing campaign. Even among neighboring countries also philippines is not a popular holiday destinations. And the other big thing that the country is missed so badly is to tap the huge potential of Muslim or Halal tourism. Even country such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan/China is aggressively promoting their countries as a Muslim-friendly destinations. Philippines on the other hand, is very slow in everything. I giving a constructive comment, please see it from a brightside.
@@ardentblue7493 true. But despite the imperfection I still vote for philippines. Cheers.
@@ardentblue7493 What are you saying? The Philippines was awarded as Asia's Leading Dive Destination and Asia's Leading Beach Destination during the 29th World Travel Award 2022 and another award for Intramuros Philippines as Asia's Leading Tourist attraction additionally, using Uzakrota Global Travel Awards the Philippines has been voted as World best tourist Destination in 2022.
@@kennix2914 that award did not reflect the number of tourist in the country. Still thailand is the number #1 destination among southeast asian.
I love the fact that Malaysia is still a hidden gem and still underrated for many tourists. It's a blessing in disguised. 😁
At least not overload with tourists. Especially from unstable politic/war countries. Which is good to keep it balance.
It won’t be in 5 years with all the TH-camrs pointing out what a jem it is
in my opinion, Brunei is absolutely the most underrated country in SEA. I don't know why but I literally heard no one said a word about Brunei and recently I totally forgot it existed lol.
@@kladius8045 meanwhile Burma be like 🙄
Westerners dislike malaysia bcos there isnt much freedom, fun, booze. Of course free dating. Can get a date anytime bcos easily accessible to those things.
Malaysia, Indonesia ares islamic countries, so these are difficulties to them.
The Philippines in the top spot for me and my friends. Most wonderful, warm and welcoming folks around. Filipino hospitality is unparalleled. Stunning country. The beaches are unmatched and the countryside is picturesque. Majority of folks are educated and speaks English very well. xD
That’s all right 😃 we will be back one day Robert :) but first we’ll do some more exploring elsewhere in SEA 🙏 thanks for watching 🏆 cheers
@@Chai_Travel chai what country do you like the most Thailand or Vietnam . If you could live in one of there’s countries which country would
you chose to live in
Thailand
@@Chai_Travel chai what country would you chose to live in Thailand or Vietnam
@@stephenjohnson6146 for now it would be Thailand. I’ve been only once traveling for a month in Vietnam and I love every bit of it 😁 I do see Thailand as my second home now though. I really like it here. I’d love to travel back to Vietnam again soon 😊
You mentioned about Malaysia so many times to the all tourists during the whole interview session....
And most of them didn't know much about Malaysia....and i can see how you try to promote Malaysia and make them notice our existence on the map of SEA! 😅
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
❤from🇲🇾
Aw thank you ❤️ I’m happy to be in Thailand now but I’m looking forward to go back to Malaysia again later this year 😁
@@Chai_Travel yeah.. please come back here =)
@@Chai_Travel u are welcome
Those messy low class european..😮🎉😝
Malaysia singapore n Brunei need NOT rated✔
Malaysia and Thailand are my two top SEA countries ❤
Im
Returning for the 3rd time to KL, but spending time in the city and outside of it. Getting to see places I never visited in my previous trips there
As a Mexican I love really Philippines. The culture is similar to mexico. Very similar. It is like home. Vwry beautifup people beautiful places very fun very festive. Food is life...
very similar..sports boxing,catholic religion,some of words are similar with mexico.
@@adventure7621 even the food, traditions, celebrations, beliefs, architectures and other material things. Even in languages and literature
It's alright for Malaysia to be underrated at the moment. It will be a great surprise to travellers when they visit us one day in future for our hospitality, foods, nature, modernity and peace
No need to come to Malaysia n singapore...low class european...messy🎉
I like Malaysia.
Hey, don't feel bad. No one really mentioned Singapore or Philippines either. 😂
no. it's funny how many Malaysians are glad their country is still obscure because they're afraid of tourism destroying their land.
Im glad Malaysia not their choice..I love Malaysia still Mystery Country..
Muslim country is not good for foreigner they have this ancient belief that even the law of the land includes shira law.
Malaysia n singapore no need to rate.
They dont need😝👍🏻
I always consider the Philippines the most underrated destination in Southeast Asia. Maybe because the transportation and moving around is expensive compared to the other countries but beaches are unparalleled.
The language which is very important is superb in the Philippines including the super hospitality.
but there are a lot of scammers too. ☹️☹️☹️
@Dee Emordes well every one has the choice sir!
It's because the Philippines land is scattered. Unlike other SEAC they're grouped in a big land mass which you can travel by land, where in the Philippines, many of the beautiful destination you need to travel boat and by air. Other SEAC are oil producers so they don't need to import fuel. When goods are imported, expect import tax and tax will add up to the cost. We're trying to produce our own oil but China is preventing us by invading our territorial waters.
The disadvantage of Philippines is travelling coz Philippines is composed of 7,500 Islands nevertheless its more exciting coz each provinces offers different culture and sceneries.
Those who haven’t discovered Malaysia and don’t know what is it are definitely missing a lot. Regards from Egypt ❤
Salam dari Malaysia
Thanks for watching Sem Sem ❤️
@Chai Travel thanks to you sweetheart ❤️
Malaysia has so much to offer
no. it's funny how many Malaysians are glad their country is still obscure because they're afraid of tourism destroying their land
I am from the Philippines with amazing beaches in El Nido, Palawan, Boracay, and Zambales. I have been to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. They have their charms. We will go to Vietnam this 2024. Looking forward to the travel and food. God bless our economies and governments. 😊🎉🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
For Malaysia that's why the tagline is "To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia". Always underrated but they will love it once they know and experience Malaysia. Cheers.
We gonna have to go back one day soon 😍
I can tell Chai is a little bias towards Malaysia. Cheers mate.
n Malaysia is truely Asia...
Some recommendation:
Food - Thailand
Beaches - Philippines
Islands - Indonesia
Culture - Cambodia and Laos
Buildings - Malaysia and Singapore
Adventure - Vietnam
Adventure? For Vietnam? As a Vietnamese, I’m curious to why? And no, I’m not offended at a such positive comment. Just curious.
@@risingstar9903 Vietnam have everything
@@halex2289 Eh! I feel like Thailand is Vietnam but everything is slightly better.
@@risingstar9903 you have unique mountains like china that is good for adventure. I
And so many amazing caves in Vietnam!
Thanks for this wonderful video n for showing what d people thought of all d countries in d southeast asian region. My thoughts, all places have their own vibes, charm n beauty.
Your welcome Yasin 😁 I hope you’re having a great day 🏆 cheers!
@@Chai_Travel Thank u. U too, have a great day. Cheers. 😀
I think that tourists from all around d world, once they arrive in Southeast Asia, they should visit at least few of d countries. It's not difficult to travel around this region n there r few budget airlines like AirAsia that is very budget friendly. One thing I feel that is an advantage for a country, is d low cost of good quality accommodation, food n transportation, sim card package etc. 😀
Great topic and well interviewed 👌 - Thailand & Cambodia definitely stand out for me - you can’t go wrong in SEAsia
Thanks champs 😬👍👋🙏😃
Thanks mate! I’m looking forward to the Cambodia trip 🤩
Hi Cha(i)mp! I will be in Thailand next Tuesday and I am so excited! It’s been nearly 11 years since my last visit. Your videos have really help me prepare for this journey! Thank you Chai.
Man! 11 years?! It’s definitely about time brother Kevin 😁 I’m glad Inwas one of the people to give you some insiders while you were gone 🏆 stay in touch!
Indonesia has natural beauty, many active volcanoes,beautiful beaches.. A must visit and one of the best in south east Asia..
Thanks mate. Ive been once already and I’ll definitely come back later this year to explore more of it 😃 cheers mate
@@Chai_Travel pleasure. I hope you’ll enjoy your travel to Indonesia this year. Experience it by your self, the culture,the diverse, the people, and the food. 💙
It's okay, we are used to it 😂. Most of the tourist in Malaysia are locals, Singaporeans, Chinese, Japanese and Koreans. I've been watchin youtubers vloggers who visit Malaysia and they go to some famous touristical place but not to our mountains or beaches, usually they only stay in KL, or maybe visit Penang. Even if a foreigner stay for months in Malaysia they wouldnt know these hidden gems unless they made friends with locals or follow local tourist pages. Or maybe it's only gems for us, which is not a bad thing because we appreciate our home and cultures.
Philippines 🇵🇭 is the best they speak great English not difficult to communicate like Thailand I'm struggling to communicate with the locals 😅
Its evident that most travellers do not include the philippines in their southeast asian travels but these people miss a lot because it has more diverse landscapes and they will not have any language barrier
Facts, but at least we know from this that Philippines isn't overrated in the least, so I'm glad to say that
Experience going to these countries then compare
Philippines is separated with water . its a big island in SEA, traveling from country to country if you include Philippines is impossible not unless you have a lot of money to buy tickets via airplanes.
Im Filipino Australian but travelling elsewhere in Asia is cheap. Philippines is 3x fold more expendive in terms of Airlines. The government haven't helped promoting it and the vsrious travel fees. Ftom Australia to Philipines right now, it'll cost you $1200 in contrast to Bali or Indonesia or Mslaysia that cost $450 return
Let's not let them find THE Tropical Paradise of them all. Let them all go to Thailand, heheh! Don't go to the Philippines. Leave it clean and green and blue, heheh!
Nice video, Grazie !
You have met beautiful people, full of good energy and nice words.
The first man had wonderful and wise words,
I like the funny Italian boy too.
All the people you interviewed were able to give me good energy and enthusiasm,
I will put your video in my favorite playlist Grazie continua con la tua grande energia
Danilomarzo 🙏 grazie mille! That’s so nice of you to leave a comment like this. You’ve just gave me a lot of motivation to carry on like this 🏆 cheers mate
Hello Chai, you bump in to some very interesting people, i am fascinated of all the different older and younger personalities, travelling is a "anti-aging" medicine and opens mind and heart ! Great job Chai Champ,🏆i love this interwievs ! ✌💝best wishes to Ilona&family.
Next year we want to spend some time in cambodia as well.......👍🙏
Awesome Fioretta 😃 I feel super fortunate I’m able to talk to all those lovely people with good energy and also that I’m able to share it. Cambodia 2024 sounds great 🤩 cheers ❤️
Respect Thailand from Philippines
Thanks for watching ❤️
Lol
Tourist who have not visited Malaysia on their tour of South East Asia, then it's wise to visit Malaysia as your final leg, coz it's the country that'll supersede the rest in terms of diversity of its food, culture and its affordability. Thanks Chai, for mentioning Malaysia during your chats. Cheers!😂✌️
Cheers Nick! Always a pleasure and you know it 😁
Westerners will shy away from islamic countries.
I have been to Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia. Such a wonderful country. I visited the Philippines, Brunei, and Singapore. These four countries are underrated and it's time for them to shine.
But how they got number 2 visitor destination in South east asia? For work?
Malaysia is one country where many tourists should visit - so much to do and see
When it comes to beaches , I think Philippines is the most beautiful beach in the world.
Maybe Australia too 😉
@@Chai_Travel Maldives and Greece as well.
@@Chai_TravelAustralian beaches full of Shark, saltwater crocodile, and jellyfish 😂
Source by trust me bro
let's keep it a secret
Excellent work champ. Not a great deal I can add that I haven't said before. Cambodia will be different for sure. I watched Paddy Doyle's video of his day out in the tuk tuk with his mate the Cowboy complete with a music system and an esky full of beer being shown around the sites. Hilarious. There's plenty of fun to be had for sure. 🤩
😂 haha I gonna have to watch that one 😝 thanks Steven! Stay tuned for Cambodia 😃
Thanks, it’s alright Chai. I prefer Malaysia to be underrated. It is our pleasant surprise for visitors.
Cheers mate 😊
Messy low class european😝😱
Malaysia singapore n Brunei NOT need to be rated✔
TQ
i like the effort of the host to really include my country philippines if he notice that it is not being mentioned...even tho we know for a fact that philippines is not really a popular country for tourists..and probably we are the most hated country in south east asia..so i dont really expect them to choose philippines..he is trying his best to really include us and not to alienate us.... i appreciate the effort of the host to really include us..,but you really dont have to do that... for me, im happy in the current state of my country being not as famous as thailand or other south east asian country... i am now supporting my asean brothers. im very happy for their tourism success, im happy that the tourists are now appreciating south east asia.even tho some of them only know thailand vietnam malaysia and indonesia and singapore but im still happy because they are really representing our region very well...... i hope the tourism of your countries will grow even bigger .. greetings from philippines..
When I was on a day trip to Koh Phi Phi Don, I met set
Of Malaysian travellers on
The cruisey boat. The gentleman I spoke to said the Thai beaches were better than those in Malaysia. I have to agree, although my experience was having been to Penang twice, visited Langkawi for the day years ago, but was far to relaxed for my liking. Im
Not a beach person however
😂I love Malaysia and Thailand. Aiming to go to Chiang Mai and return to Bangkok later this year, off to KL next month.
I’ve heard lots about Indonesian beaches and Philippines too. There’s a lot to discover in SEA, just depends on what it is you are looking for👍🏾. It’s my favourite part of the world❤
Haha thanks for your input 😃 thanks for watching and have a wonderful day 🏆 cheers
The two most underrrated countries are the Philippines and Malaysia, and I don't know if you noticed, but nobody talks about Myanmar as a travel option, that catches my attention.
Unfortunately it’s not really easy to travel in Myanmar at the moment. Hopefully things will change in the near future ❤️

Thank you for choosing Thailand.❤
Love from Thailand

Thanks tonyoubfor promoting the phil even u are travelling n thailand and interviewing tourists there.take care.
Tqsm Chai🙏🙏🙏..can see your effort to promote Malaysia..we just want the right people to be in our country especially people like you who know to respect our culture..looking forward for you to come back to malaysia..fyi too..we do not want malaysia to become like bali now (I am sure you know)..may be my word is a bit harsh but its a fact..peace✌️✌️✌️
My pleasure and I definitely understand and hope Malaysia or parts of Malaysia never turn into a Bali 😅 we’re looking forward to our return someday later this year 😃
based on this video many tourists are visiting Thailand since it's a jump-off point going to neighboring countries Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar.. They are connected by land so it's easy to travel.. On the other hand few tourists visit my country the Philippines, Malaysia or Indonesia since most of these countries are composed of Islands making travel a bit of a hassle. To me the best place to visit is my country since every one literally any one even a young kid can speak in English. You can never be lost in translation while exploring my country.
Malaysia....the underrated 😅
I think it is 😅
Only traveller like I-Chang & Jimmy know how to travel & what to find in Malaysia...
Nice energy great content. Have a peaceful weekend.☘️
Thanks mate 😁 I’m glad you enjoyed this one 🏆
MTDB should view this video and strategize on how to attract tourists to Malaysia. Personal safety is a very important factor. Years ago, a friend was worried about safety when he went to Thailand for a cooking class. After I told him about my previous 11-day trip to Thailand, he felt at ease and enjoyed the time there with his brother.
It’s super safe :) thanks for your input and support 🏆
I like all countries in SE Asia and have travelled extensively in most of the countries, but my ranking for travel experience/satisfaction is:
1. Thailand, 2. Malaysia, 3. Indonesia, 4. Laos, 5. Myanmar, 6. Vietnam, 7. The Philippines, 8. Cambodia, 9. Singapore, 10. Brunei
Thanks for your list of countries :) I’m surprised Brunei is on the 10th place! I’ve never been yet but I’ve heard great things about it 😁 cheers
@@Chai_Travel It is not that bad, but nothing worthwhile to see there. Not really worth going out of your way to see it except if you are already in Malaysian Borneo and want to go there for a day or two.
For Brunei, maybe you need to explore beyond the capital city.. I heard their national park is not that bad.
How about Timor Leste?

Thailand is cup of tea of tourist around the world ..greeting from Philippines .
U can tell their tourism dept and the gov working hard to make these popular country well maintained,nice pedestrian,surrounding beautiful trees,beautiful shops,tasty foods,people also very friendly and welcome outsider....
I love so much my country 💕💕💕 Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I love Southeast Asia, especially Vietnam and Thailand. Their food is amazing🤤😋
Thanks mate :) I hope to visit Vietnam later this year
Most Malaysians are abit reserved about turning our country into a tourist trap. Most of us actually prefer being underrated because we still want our country to be for Malaysians, not tourists.
Not trying to downplay our neighbors, but we are also relatively more globalised and westernised, since most of us are educated in the West or by curriculum of English and/or Australian/Kiwi influence. So that's why we don't usually worship or patronize Westerners as much. Not much "Kreng Jai" here. We shoot our superiors at work when it's necessary. No hard feelings 😅.
Malaysia, Singapore and to a certain extent Brunei, are also more catered towards business travellers and families with children. We simply do not have that exotic vibe that our Indochinese and maritime brethrens have to offer. We share a common colonial past that mainly consist of Malay settlers, Chinese miners and Indian labourers trying to assimilate and not cause a racial riot. So we are literally a nation of immigrants much like the US or Latin America. Oh ya, we also tend to forget the existence our First Nation citizens 😅. We all have this unique love-hate relationship with each other, united by food, Indian Muslim cafeterias i.e Mamaks, sports, racist jokes, and national pride. Which if you ask me is far less attractive than say, homogenized Thai culture.
There is also no homogeneous culture like what the Thais/Lao, Khmers, Viets, and Filipinos can offer. Indonesia and Myanmar on the other hand, are totally different beasts all together since they are way more diverse than all of us. The Indons and Burmese (of their respective diverse ethnic background) are one ofthe most gracious and kind people you can ever meet since most of them come from a life of harship. The Khmers have a special place ( due to the fact I'm part Khmer) in my heart due to how wonderfully gracious they are despite their dark past. Myanmar (my favourite country to travel in SEA) is the new frontier, so much potential but sadly lost due to political instability and ethnic indifferences. Their countries are a must visit to truly appreciate SEA.
There is also the cost factor. Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei are the 3 richest countries in SEA and that naturally means costs are higher. Malaysia and Singapore have the most advanced and diversified economies in SEA, hence there is relatively no urgent need to earn tourist money although Malaysia is still ever so trying to improve its least competent tourism industry. And Brunei is literally a true blue petroleum rich Emirate and you can tell that they don't really care about tourism just yet. And well, Singapore is Singapore, most of them are too wealthy or globalised to give a hoot whether you like their country.
Finally, there is the factor of restriction. Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei are the strictest in terms of social obedience. Brunei has Islamic Hudud laws in place, while Singapore and Malaysia still practice corporal punishment and the death sentence. Drugs are a big nono, trafficking and possession can lead to the death sentence. Singapore has been on a drugs related execution run lately. While Malaysia is on an anti-corruption campaign lately 😅. Let's just say we tend to take the law more seriously, so no room for the hanky panky.
So there you go, a little insight as to why Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei are often overlooked. If you read this far, well thank you! 😂
Wow! Thanks for that nice read champ 🏆 super nice of you ❤️
Trust me many people think our country singapore is in east Asia 💀💀💀💀 I mean I don't mind them saying that but they need abit of education if you know what I mean
I've come across Japanese who think Singapore is near HK and Macau china etc.
Fantastic video 🙏 hello from Bangkok 🇹🇭
Thanks mate! You’re in a nice place right now 🤩
I’ve been to most of the countries in south east Asia and I think each country has it own beauty and uniqueness. Every country has their pros and cons just like anything else in this world. So, it’s hard to say one is better than the other. In term of traveling, I say travel and explore the world if you have the means to do it, cuz it’s really eye opening and will open your heart and your mind. Also, you will appreciate life more than you should be, all about experiences.
Perfect way to have a view of the world ❤️ I love it! Thanks for your input 🏆
I am a Filipino and I've been to Phuket, Malaysia and Singapore. I'm going to Hanoi this May. I love my country, the Philippines, but I would like to say that even though I haven't been to Vietnam (yet), I think it is one of the best places to visit. The diverse food, the picturesque landscapes, the amazing culture... Northern Vietnam is really the gem of Southeast Asia. I'm sorry to say that I did not enjoy my trip in Malaysia. SG was nice. In Phuket we had a catamaran party and it is one of the best experiences I've had.
As a Malaysian, i didnt surprised about that. We have something in similarity, our island in Sabah are pretty similar in the one in the Philippines. Our Malay culture and Borneo culture are quite similar to some races in your country and our Chinese community also same with the one in Phillipines, too many things in common which makes filipino rarely visit to Malaysia. The only differences maybe is Indian culture here. I.did travel to Boracay once, such a beautiful island.
Tourists find it hard to travel in the Philippines due to the geography itself. You have to book a flight if you want to go to a tourist spot. It's still fun if you want to talk and be friends with the locals. No language barrier; the cleanest water you could ever see; nightlife; island vibes; etc. Other SEA countries have different cultures and are unique compared to the Philippines since we have been colonized by the West, so the influences are somehow familiar to the westerners. Lol (not sure if it's a good thing)
In this current generation, probably it's a blessing for them since they get to see the beauty and flaws of colonialism. Unfortunately, it's a curse for those people who did experience the slavery of the bitter past.
Yeah that's the problem with Spanish colonials they literally wiped out all their colonies indetity,culture, religion,etc. Unlike some in region like British (Burma, Malaysia, Singapore). French (Vietnam,Cambodia,Laos) and Dutch (Indonesia). Geographically Philippines is quite far from the others but actually Philippines close to East Asia and Pacific sea which actually should be more accessible.
Im from Philippines and visited Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore many times. I will be in Hanoi on May. Looking forward to see Jakarta, Bali, Phnom Phen, Myanmar and Laos as well
They always said Thailand is easy for travel, i think the are never get out from their comfort zone, as Indonesian we have an easy from train, city transportation, Ferry, boat, ship, airplane till small airplane to another small city or island and also great food. Indonesia not only Bali, Indonesia have a lot to offer and many hidden GEMS that you Will be Amazed
We’ll have to check it out 😁 thanks for the tip!
Nah, Thailand has many convenient and reliable train systems too. The important thing is the destination you are going to. Thailand has so much to offer every train or bus stop could be another adventure. While in Indonesia except bali, it is really hard for me to figure out where to go. Most part of the city are quite the same except sudirman area which made me impressed how developed Jakarta are but other part are lack of uniqueness. This is just my opinion. Love Thailand from taiwan.❤
As a Malaysian, Indonesia definitely has alot of hidden gem. If you like ancient places you should go Yogyakarta which one of the eight wonders located, it is as beautiful as Angkor Wat in Cambodia. You should go Medan where you can experience their local culture. To be honest Bali are too commercial nowadays. Lombok has a pink color beach which rarely seen in the world.
@@Boong- Indonesia has Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple, Sultan Palace in Jogja, Water Palace also in Jogja, Bromo Volcano & Tumpak Sewu Waterfall in East Java, Komodo Dragon in Komodo Island etc. We have tour program for min 3 weeks to explore these highlights
Shoutheast asian countries is beautiful it has its own unique ways in its own country, so its really up to you where do you want to go. Greetings from philippines.

Im flying to Thailand on Sunday night and arriving on Tuesday!
Good topic!
Thanks Randy! 😁 always a pleasure and you know it 🏆
Personally for me, my favourite 3 SE Asia countries are Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia but I did love Singapore, Brunei, Vietnam and Philippines. Still need to visit Cambodia though
Nice one! Hopefully you’ll add Laos on your list too 😊 thanks for watching 😁
Mainland SEA and Maritime SEA each have their unique charms.
The island experience is definitely Philippines and Indonesia though.
Malaysia and Singapore also in maritime SEA
Love to see people mention about Cambodia 🫶🏻🥹
Philippines needs to develop state parks in terms of forests, marshlands, water marine sanctuaries, etc. Each province or island needs to develop non-stop highways with entry and exit ramps capable of allowing at least 100 km per hour traveling.
I prefer raw and serene places, not man-made or artificial.
Philippines is at the very Heart of Asia and has a Predominantly English Speaking Population!!
majority of local boats engine is too loud 📢
LoL Enhlish speaking country with 5million foreign tourist in 2023.

It now looks like a Marketplace filled with everything from MARIJUANA,TO CONDOMS,to Ladyboys!.Let Thailand be Thai..while Philippine Tourist appreciate the Philippine Scene..
I've lived in cambodia for a few years, what to check out in Cambodia
1. Angkor Wat and Siam Reap, self explanatory
2. Phnom Penh - just walk around, visit the local market, eat the food, mingle around, cheap alcohol
3. Kampung Thma there is a beautiful floating restaurant by the lake, with hammock not even known to locals
4. Tonle Sap lake through Kampung Chnang, rent a cruise for 25USD and see the village life
5. Anywhere in rural Cambodia is beautiful really, they have the best beef and pork in the whole SEA, because their animals are free range.
6. Kampot, for the seafood and seaside, just avoid sihanoukville
7. Batambong, there's a place to watch a huge swarm of fruit bats coming out from the cave for 30 minutes
Thank you so much for this list! I’ll definitely try to go to a few of them on my next trip 🙏 you’re a champ 🏆 cheers
Good to be back watching Chai,,,peace and happiness as always
Good to have you back mate 😁
9:43 my man knows what he's talking about 🤩 I discovered Koh Phayam recently and it's most definitely my favorite island in all Thailand. The vibe there is completely different than anywhere else in Thailand. The Beaches are not the best, but the people, the villages, the social life there is out of this world.
Nice one mate :) I’m glad you got to experience that 🤩 have a good day
Good stay in Cambodia and Malaysia and Thailand so that Philippines Island gem will be still hidden from foriegners😂
Facts
Yeah, lots of tourist will just lead to extra pollution and eventually loss of natural resources.
Thailand is the most popular answer in this video, it's no wonder because this video was taken in Thailand and most of them haven't fully explored Southeast Asia, I'm curious if you visit Indonesia, Bali for example and do as in this video, how the tourists will answer,
Gotcha :) I’ll definitely see if we can make it to Bali this year 😁
You are right and I think age brackets, and preferences must be put to consideration like an old man in the video says for it depends on ones intention of going there. He is giving a hint like for example a aged man like him go to Thailand because of prostitutions, others because of drugs. Let's be real.
@@richardnuevo Philipine also had prostitutions alot.
@@richardnuevo Pinoy many gay pagpag slum land . Jealous country.
A lot of people would really choose Thailand because it is just one soil. Philippines, on the other hand, is a country with full of islands. Foreigners who come to Philippines are really the ones who have budgets because you need to book a flight ticket to get to destination A to B
Looking forward to seeing your travel vlogs in Indonesian archipelago. Done subscribed.
Thanks! Welcome to this channel champ 😁🏆
They have never been to Bali, Lombok and Raja Ampat Indonesia so I understand what they say! 😄 but if you get there 1 time I'm sure you will come back again and jagain, You'll find relaxation, tranquility, an incredible lifestyle and culture 😁✌️
I absolutely love Lombok 😍
@@Chai_Travel Dude do you know Lombok have you ever been there? to Pink Beach 📍KOMODO DRAGON ISLAND 😁
Countries in Mainland SEA (Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam) are the most travelled compared to Maritime SEA (Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia, The Philippines, East Timor). And the overall #1 for tourism is Thailand 🇹🇭.
Malaysia should feel shame even have most powerful visa in asia people seem don't interested in this country though
But the fact is the mmos visited county in asean are
1. Thailand
2. malay
3. singa
4. indo
5. viet
@@aldichannel2383they come to Malaysia to work, You Will see it when you came to Kuala lumpur, Penang or Johor. There so many Indian there, or maybe Bangladesh or Nepal?
We are talking about tourist not foreign worker or immigrant. Please get the differences.
Hi.Chai . Do you try to go to Myanmar at Keng Tung or in the south, Myeik, Tanintharyi, Dawei. In the south, cross the border at Chong Singkhon border checkpoint. Prachuap Khiri Khan Province.
Nice advice :) thank you. I definitely wanna go back one day to explore more of south Myanmar for sure 🤩
Great vid
Thank you 😊
It must be admitted that Bangkok, Thailand is a paradise for tourists, Malaysia, Indonesia is less attractive, maybe because it still maintains the norm, life in Thailand is so free
If you use cheap parameters, Indonesia will be the champion. You can get cheap prices but good quality from accommodation, transportation, especially street food, except in Bali where it's a bit expensive, and liquor is also expensive in Indonesia...
I agree man. Indonesia has cheaper prices than other SEA nations. Food is so good!
ya u live in worse commy contry
South East Asian is just beautiful and amazing.. Every country has own beauty
I'm Filipino, been to all SEA countries except Brunei and have travelled to 4 out of 7 continents. For me, out of all the beaches I've been to, best beach destinations are in the Philippines. 🇵🇭 But each country in SEA has its own beauty and draws. Visit our amazing region!
I can't disagree. But Indonesia arguably have the most epic beaches with most are located in East Nusa Tenggara province (near Timor Leste), and West Papua. But the access and infrastructe haven't been managed. So people are often come to only Bali.
The Philippine is 5x smaller than Indonesia in terms of area. And yet have some of amazing beaches. Indonesia being the greater has some area with ugly beaches.
I've been to the Philippines and had a great experience. I love Palawan. If i got to choose between Palawan or Raja Ampat i'd choose Palawan since it's easier to get around. Overall Palawan has a great view but Raja Ampat win the view and the pristine coral reef.
Semua negara mempunya sigmen pasar tersendiri bagi turis, mereka akan nyaman dalam pengalaman pertama mereka seperti halnya cinta pertama dari seorang gadis, salam dari Indonesia 🇮🇩.
Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore dan Philipina mungkin kurang familiar bagi mereka (turis yang di wawancarai)
Low class european ...messy!!!😝😱
Malaysia singapore n Brunei Need NOT to be rated✔
TQ
The First Guy obviously did not mentioned Philippines. He was mentioning Variety, I challenge him to come to Philippines. Since he said push your limits.
Fair enough to say this :D it’s time for him to go on his next trip 😁
He is too old, he might not used to travel via plane or buses. He will be having a hard time here. 😂
9:51 Koh Phayam in Ranong province Very beautiful nature
I love Thailand 🇹🇭🥰 I'm from East Coast Kelantan, Malaysia 🇲🇾... Border to Thailand 🥰 There are Thai/ Siamese people here in Kelantan ❤️... I love your channel Chai. Done Subscribed ✌🏻 Thanks
I love Malaysia too. I drive to Kelantan and some parts of Terengganu. Will try going to Perak before the semester restarts after Ramadan
I travelled in most asian countries. and i can say PHILIPPINES my home country is still the best. The vibe and so much to visit. But you need to book flight from destination to destination
unfortanuantely also.. our cpountry hated by most of our neighbors.. look at their comments.. thai vietnaemse indonesians. maalysians hate us
LoL because you are Pinoy
Good that most prefer Thailand and Vietnam. It’s good to leave some of the Asian countries out. We already have so many tourist in the Philippines, we don’t need more of em. Malaysia is beautiful too, they need to keep it that way- less tourists, less abuse to our nature, to our resources and to our people.
go ahead...!
love southeast asia tourism 💕
as an additional maybe you can asking where they come from.? 😊
I’m from The Netherlands and my mom is from Indonesia
From the comment section many people love the Philippines any recommendations for first-timers in the philippines? Thanks
Bohol, Siargao and Palawan :) have fun and stay in touch
@Chai_Travel thanks will definitely look into these places
Food is delicious and cheap in the Philippines. Go to the beaches - Boracay, El Nido (No. 1 beach), and Zambales. These have whites beaches and great people. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭😊
Entering traveling Malaysia 🇲🇾 best 👌
Indo still emerald of equator ,when talking about landscape panorama nature indo 100% look so mooii/beautiful/pretty (beach-wtrfall-lake-foreest-marine underwter park-river-gleizer--nat park-islnd-volcano mount-desert-cave-savanna-rice terrance-cliff)
The guy talking about the weed hit the nail on the head! Kudos to him 🙏💚🙏
Chai sorry to say you have been interviewing those wrong persons especially in Khosan road!😬they have very limited knowledge for SE Asia! Some look they are not smart themselves 🤭
Hi Kc Liew 🙏 I appreciate your comment. I’ve tried my best to get a good mixture as I always try. Sometimes it goes better than other times 🏆
its a random interview and I think Chai didn't interview those wrong persons ...of course they have limited knowledge of SEA that's why they Tourist....Thailand is always on the top list coz Thai had a great campaign for tourism and also it has a lot to offer...btw you call some of them not smart? in what sense....? come on don't be bitter if this Tourist love Thailand...im from the Philippines and Im happy that they love Thailand and the neighbouring countries....even though many of them never visited Philippines...m
Just my personal opinion :
in term of popularity, I would say Thailand and Philippines are the most popular in S.E.Asia while Vietnam is gaining popularity fast.
Bali is popular but not the whole Indonesia.
Malaysia is often skipped and together with Brunei, are the most unknown. Singapore is more popular with business travels, expats and transits I think.
Malaysia showed high number of tourist arrivals but mainly from neighbouring Indonesian (relatives, medical tourism), Singaporean (for weekend getaway) and maybe a cheaper destination for Middle-Eastern Muslim travelers (halal food availability).
Philippines has only 6 millions tourists per year. How PH popular ? Are you kidding me ? The countries are popular in SEA is Thailand 40 millions tourists per year . Malaysia 30 millions tourists per year Vietnam 17 millions tourists per year and Indonesia 15 milions per year. Phillipinies are not popular Sorry !!!
Just Bali Islands alone have more tourists more than Whole Philippines !!
I'm Thai. All my Thai friends, we are here in the Philippines. My sisters and cousin studying here also. We love to be here in your country, people are friendly too and love to invites us whenever theres ocassions.. Just ignore the negativity and haters. We love SEA. I've seen lots of tourists here, young male and females.but not vloggers. I'm talked to tthem, they liked it here. Peace
my friends doesnt mind if tourist come or not, not a big deal to them. They are nice, YT the don't take it personally.
I love my country.ofcourse And I love all. I don't hate anyone
Southeast asia is just absolutely magical in general
Haha I agree!
Don't forget to visit Wat Bovorn as I suggested your last time in Bkk, you are very close to there. We may meet there if you go on Sunday morning.😊
That’s right! Did you mean Bowon? I’ll be out of town already on Sunday 😁 thanks 🏆
@@Chai_Travel Yes, Bowonniwet.
Perfect! Thanks again :D
Philippines! Haha im biased. To those who have not visited our country, you are missing the fun. Combine all the beaches of SEA, The Philippines will have it covered. 😂
Haha you are! 😝 it’s definitely high up there 😊
Philippines is way too expensive to some foreigners.
@@arriane147 it's the same as when you visit other countries as a foreigner too.
If i'm not mistaken Malaysia rank no. 2 in most tourist visit in SEA after Thailand...
It cause Air Asia has a lot of cheap flights
AirAsia uses KLIA for flight transit.
1-2 nights in KL then tourists move to other SEA countries for 1 month.
Yes, and majority 30% came from Singapore...not so diverse like Thailand..
Singapore
Singaporean as tourist 😂
LOL i smell too much jealousy & denying in this comment section...who the hack count the flight transit? And Singaporean tourist who came to Malaysia doesn't affect the number too much...without tourist all around the world who come to Malaysia...Singapore population just a few millions... Check the facts that reported by CNBC channel in your country about Visitor Arrival Stats in SEA few years back..
1. Thailand 39.9 Millions
2. Malaysia 26.1 Millions
3. Singapore 19 Millions
And the rest you can find by yourself...admitting way more better than denying
If you are looking for adventures you shld go to the Philippines.. if youre up to easy lazy trips then Thailand is the place..
thai for sex buddy 😂😂😂 philipinese for cheap wife
Just my opinion ask some people in Siargao or BGC in Philippines they are the most experienced when it comes to travelling SEAsia, i think... Cause most foreign vlogger in Philippines did mention they visit the SEAsia.. (dont need to reply) //again just my opinion😁//
transportation in the Philippines is not good,
They chose mainland Asia primarily because of the close proximity to each other. It's like people want to travel mainland USA before going to Hawaii or Guam. And they want different culture which The Philippines cannot give that much as The Philippines is quite Westernized.
I think it's just a matter of time.. Thailand has been in the tourist game for a long time. There will be more Siargao island models popping-up and it will all then be game over! To lure tourist, PI has to have competitive prices, selections, quality, and that could apply to everything food, tourist spots, activities, etc, and it seems like Siargao already have all these qualities, and that's why it's been a success. Palawan would be a good candidate, it's 1000 times bigger than Siargao, but they just have to get their shit together.
@@LuvMyLilBabe well we'd rather lose in the beginning than losing in the end.
@Concerned Individual aji ginisa ba o magic sarap ba etæy? Aha Eureka it's Umami flavor!
Thank you! Nice observation. Love from the Philippines ❤️
Great video once again! We have just started our own travel vlog and if anybody here is able to take a look, we appreciate all the support!
Thanks guys :) good luck with your journey and who knows we cross paths one day 😃
For me as Indonesian, Im pretty enjoy visiting Thailand. Beside the food fit my taste, otherwise I love shopping too. Many indonesian tourists come to Thailand for shopping. And Singapore, cause shopping too 😂 and flight ticket are cheaper to domestic flight (unfortunately 😞)
Thanks for your input there :) We'll be in Indonesia before the end of the year :D
@@Chai_Travel what a good news! Cause Indonesia is the country of archipelago, Im curious what the island you will visit and explore. Im looking forward to it
As a WARNING! Don't come to the PHILIPPINES! As the song goes in Hotel California,"YOU CAN CHECK OUT ANYTIME YOU LIKE, BUT YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE!!!
Hahaha !😅
maybe he runs out of money that's why he cannot leave...lol
The Philippines have amazing people, food, and beaches in Boracay, El Nido, Palawan, and Zambales. 😊🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I am from Malaysia and I feel Thailand did good job promoting their travel industry.
Malaysian need to be more open. We love to condemn about everything and that scares the foreign tourists. Recent example, the Thai Hot Guy (which is very famous in Thailand, even for Malaysian) got cancelled due to the noise from the netizen and thats just turn off news for the tourism’s.
If you don’t like it, just don’t go la.
Gotcha mate. I think Malaysia is indeed not promoting its country so much for tourists but there are definitely more and more places which are getting interesting for travelers. So hopefully Malaysia can drag a more attention the travelers who are coming to SEA in the future:) but like you say :p if you don’t like it, just don’t go la 🤣 thanks for watching 🏆
Malaysia truly asia
Low class european....messy!!!😝😱
Malaysia singapore n Brunei need NOT to be rated✔
Budaya isle
I’m quite surprised that they did not mostly mention Malaysia and Singapore, even Philippines lol. Instead, Laos is more popular with tourists? 🤔 Now I’m curious about Laos .
Ikr. As a Singaporean I'm so sad no one likes Singapore.😢😂😂 Maybe because everything is just too expensive here and we are too urbanized. Lol. But hey, it's alright, everyone's entitled to their opinions.
I think it's because the pattern of the geography where they are close to each other.
@@s_shalehnah I think it's because they think we are in east Asia
I've come across some foreigners who think Singapore is next to HK and china.
Philippines has the best natural beaches and nature but its difficult to travel because Philippines is an island nation.
We love the philipines 😁
Hm, they only mention Bali?
When Indonesia has a lot...a lot...to offer. We have 17,000+ islands, vast tropical forests, mountains, famous protected coral reefs, also diverse in culture. From secluded traditional tribe to the megacity of Jakarta.
We also have 300+ language, with Bahasa Indonesia as the main language. 6,000+ types of food with each region specialties.
I know people would mention Bali, but i honestly thought Indonesia's tourism is widen already by now. I guess we still have quite a long way to go.
I hope to go to Indonesia myself sometime this year to explore and expose some of this amazing country 🇮🇩❤️
@@Chai_Travel i didnt know that you are half indonesian... what is the other half of you?
Udah terima aja klo negara wakanda tidak populer,lagi pula yng nguasai dunia para zionis,negara mayoritas muslim pasti di injak2 kaya wakanda ini
She's also mention Indonesia after first say Bali.
Its ok.
Its cause we are so big.
As big as from London to Istambul.
1 month visa Isn't enough to explore beauty of Indonesia
That's why, we plant to make new Bali in Lombok, Toba, Labuan bajo, Yogyakarta, Batam-Bintan , Belitung, Manado, Raja Ampat Papua.
krn indonesia sgt luas bu
dengan visa dan waktu yg terbatas pasti wisatawan akan pilih lokasi yg menawarkan kemudahan termasuk harga yg murce hehehe
krn liburan ke bali pun itu tdk murah
apalagi mau lanjut ke lombok lalu ntt lihat komodo trus lanjut raja ampat
sdh pasti mahal dan nggak cukup waktu
selain itu krn thailand sdh melegalkan ganja tentu makin byk yg datang
adik saya pulang dr thailand pun ketemu k9 di bandara hehehe
biasanya dulu yg dicurigai kedatangan dr malaysia kan
dr wawancara tsb bisa disimpulkan bahwa mrk bukan penggemar kota modern pencakar langit melainkan lokasi yg tenang dan nyaman
cmiiw
Dont go to the Philippines. Leave it that way. Less tourist less destraction to its hidden gem - beaches, natural wonders, diverse culture, language, people and hospitality 🇵🇭
