grrrl traveler solo travel, grrrltraveler solo travel, grrrltraveler,
I stubbled across your video when searching for things to do in Chiang Mai/Pai. Your video was so help and enjoyable to watch! Next month I'm heading up to Chiang Mai for a week or so, and I wanted to try and go to Pai as well. Watching this video has convinced me that I need to Pai! The nature looks breath taking and I want to experience that in person! Thank you!
looks so nice and relaxing! love the Vlog and cant wait to watch move of your videos!
Oh ! You returned to Thailand!
So cool video. I must confess this inspired me to return too.
love how you walk from hostel to hostel to check for availability and the best price. that's how old school backpackers used to do prior to online booking.
I loved Pai!!! You saw some things i did not. I went during dry season. This is where I had my first illness. But the people were SO AMAZING!!
Really nice video. Thanks for sharing!
You are very pretty! 💚 And I like how u making your videos! Nice job! 🌈 Thank you for info about Pai 🤙🏽
This is a well constructed video. Compared to many videos on TH-cam, it's a masterpiece. I live in the area, I see a slew of Thai videos (and make a few myself), anyway, the quality of your video is very high, good work!
Awesome video! Pai looks like such a unique city, loved the quirky retro vibes! Thank you for showing those views! Seriously breathtaking! Oh and now I'm starving because all of the food looked so delicious!! That deep fried banana 😱🙌 👌
+Gloria Powell Yes, I love that quirky retro vibe too! As for the banana, I'll save you a bite.lol
Christine, your camera work is excellent. You really capture a great story. I just left Pai a couple of weeks ago, and I'll be sharing this with any friends who want to know what the town is all about =)
+The New Travel Blog Thanks Dan! Sometimes it depends on what I can give to the moment. haha. Yeah, Pai is certainly a unique town of Thailand. I take it you loved it there if you stayed that long. Where did you stay?
13 years visiting Pai (my wife is a teacher there), and I've seen major changes from the sleepy backwater it used to be.
The "Pai In Love" film brought hordes of visitors from Bangkok, and then the investors moved in with the resorts that are filling the surrounding valley.
Time for us to sell up and move somewhere quieter.
+sameebah It's definitely changed and changing.
What do you suggest in the north these days? I’m half-Thai living abroad, but I’ve never been to Pai.
loved it
can't wait to start my trip there , probably next month
+Khalid Alauqaili woot! I'm excited for you!
I live in Chiang Mai. Pai is one of my favorite places to visit, so relaxing. Your video is the best I have seen so far. Keep up the good work.
+R.Peter Lucarelli I'm glad. Pai has such a distinct feeling and despite the tourism is still a wonderful oasis. 😃
Yes and keep up the good work. I see a lot of vlogs that are just guys walking to the laundry or such and want to be supported. Crazy.
This place looks like fun! Thanks for sharing.
+Shawnald You're welcome! There's definitely things to do here. =D
Great Vid on pai..awesome.work! Where r u travelling nowdays?
visited chang mai in Jan 16 ,everyone I spoke to were hiring motorbikes and heading to pai . I did not have any knowledge about pai at the time so I didn't visit,but watching your video I now understand the attraction . Such an interesting place .
+Shaun Smith Yes, it's unique of Thailand. Not to mention, mini van rides over are only 200 baht! Motorbiking to Pai is one way, but around the time you were there, there was a lot of construction on the highway... and it's a 3 hour drive!
I miss Northern Thailand so much ! Amanda
I miss bangkok, chiang mai and pai, best places I visited in Thailand an Pai is up there for best place in SEA
Pai was so much fun. I like your take on it. Same same, but different!
+JP Goes Global haha.. Thank god for different! =D
umm cutee. nice travel vlog too, like the aesthetic of the editing.
I love these types of videos, keep up the good work ^.^
+Vince Night Thanks for the feedback! =DD
Excellente présentation, merci!
Hi Christine , a really enjoyable video . Can I ask what camera you used for this video ... Thanks
Great great video good job Christine :)
I want to visit here so much. So beautiful 😍
I think you deserve your own show on TV.
Great summary of things to do in Pai!
+Bangkok Fatty Thanks Dwight! Next time I'm in Bangkok, would be great to meet up!
Please shout at me! I'll be in CR/CM in a week or so tho, if you're still up north.
Pai... I didn't know... Good to know! Thank you!!
+Yukari Kamiya You're welcome! =D Hope you get to visit there!
also points at tourists and went to pai during the most touristy time with everyone mashed together at pai canyon. Ive NEVER seen that many people at pai canyon.
Flawless presentation! Are you a broadcasting pro, CK?
Amazing Thank You....Wish to be in Thailand soon...
+lavista4u I'm rooting for you!!!
don't ever leave your passport with anyone. just make a copy of it, if they won't rent to you, go somewhere else. that's just terrible advise
Not only is this good advice, but legally when visiting Thailand you should have your passport with you at all times in case stopped by the police (although most areas will be lenient and let you produce a photocopy of your photo pages and the entry visa page).
Also remember that if you don't have a licence to ride a bike and the correct International Driving Permit, your insurance is invalid.
brvandal when travelling like this your passport goes everywhere. You don't protect your information with copies. No one keeps your passport forever. Maybe 15 years ago.
Actually that's happend a lot that u have to leave your passport at the office. Not just on Thailand. Of course u need to have a copy.
Lived here for four years, have yet to find anyone renting motorcycles who don't take your passport. They have to protect themselves somehow... To be honest, I trust them with my passport more than I do myself!
@@sameebah do the police in pai countryside have checks for international licence please?
I have never given up my passport to rent a motorcycle in Thailand in 28 years of going there. Good to see a guy in elephant pants and sporting a man bun. Wish it was 2016 again but we'll retire early there this Spring so it's cool.
Those cafes were in better shape during your visit! They looked kinda run down when we were there, but perhaps it was the season we went!
+Megan Indoe Oh yeah? With the influx of tourists they get, I'm sure there's much wear and tear. But I appreciate that they renovated before I got there. ;)
Are there any police checks for international licence for the bikes in pai from your experience please? I know there are around chang mai just wondering about around pai
Drooling over the bananas and coconut!
+EASY COOKING WITH ANDY That might be a fun one for you to make in your kitchen. Seems pretty easy. =D
Is Pai a place where someone might want to live, or just a little tourist-trap kind of town ?
Thanks, great video !
Love your voice!
Awww.
can you get those fruit smoothies made with non- dairy milk?
pai Street video very nice👍💯💖😍
very nice Jerome from Florida
I love Pai (and Chiang Mai)
Was nice in early 80"s...
Thank u u r best 😍
make a tourist video and judge tourist's. Nice one.
A strange comment by a tourist .
Nah. There are tourists and there are people who look at the world through their phones and and care more about what other people think about them online.
How to book a bus from chiang Mai to pai?
great video,i been to Thailand 3 times but never been to pai,next time 4 sure
+Bryan Hawkins What are your recommended top spots so far?
big Buddha Phuket you can ride an atv up the mountain,,,Phuket zoo you can get your picture with a tiger,,,,,,,,the bread in udon thani (rolls) taste great,,
What a cute town!
+ Fit2LuvME with Love Fuller it really is!😊👍
yooo I am in the pai now enjoying
Solo travelling is possible, I'm heading to Pai tommorow from Chiang Mai. But damn, where do you get your sun from! I haven't seen the damn ball of fire since I landed in Bangkok😂
Thanks
Thank for the video! If I were to go to PI I would gain 10 pounds for sure! :-D
Thanks for the video! Now I know how northern Thailand looks like) I've read about many people visiting it, but I always choose beaches))) it's so impressive to me that you are able to drive motorbike) did you learn driving motorcycles somewhere or have you just gotten the hang of it the first time you tried? Also, random question - do you have a padi certificate? Are you planning on diving or snorkeling anytime soon when you get to the coast?
+Dana N My very first visit to Pai, my guesthouse owners taught me in their driveaway. They had me practice doing figure 8s b/c turning wasn't easy for me and the gh was further from town.
I have a PADI & Advanced SSI. I just did a liveaboard in the Similan Islands, which I filmed and I'll post after I finish my other destinations. I shared that news on my FB page. =) Are you interested in diving?
That's very nice of your gh owners) When we tried to practice driving the motorbike, its owner just laughed at us and a local oldman who was passing by just told us it was a bad idea for us to drive it))) guess it looked really bad))) So we gave it back and didn't explore other beaches except for patong
I am very interested in diving) I tried it for the first time on Phi Phi, and loved it! We wanted to dive near this sunk ship there, but it turned out you need to have a PADI for that))) silly of us) so they took us on the beginners diving spots, and I loved it so much) now I'm thinking of getting a PADI during the next holiday. But we probably need to practice in a swimming pool here, cause my girlfriend couldn't dive, she got too scared of the compressed air feeling, you now how it seems that you can't breathe fully at first.
I LOVE PAİ
Best time to visit Thailand?
What a great vlog...love it there..the foods soooo good to..so much to see too..hope your ok? Stay safe...hope we can chat soon
+v66bry Thanks Brian! How can you not love Thai food and sights. Any return to Southeast Asia?
Yes I've planned to go out for thai new year..just 12 days..just a little break to get away from work..want to go back to Spain this year too..your back home now..so have got plans? Or will it be work for you for a while then plan your next trip?
when renting a bike please make sure you have the right licence and insurance are with it as you if accident may occur and may have stay in country till all bills are payed
Love your channel! You need to connect with Mark Weins
+Quang Tran Thanks. I know Mark! ;D
No please don't I can't stand watching him make his dumb faces
Is it safe to leave one's passport with a bike leasing shop? I am not very comfortable doing it. I watched your other video on tips travelling solo. They are awesome. I am not sure if one should surrender their passport as a "deposit" for a motobike. Just to be safe.
Its extremely safe, you could always leave a cash deposit though.
Welcom to pai
I'm just here to remind myself that I want to move to this place
It's actually pronounced "bpai" with a hard "p" sound, not a soft "p".
Best travel blog on the net
You didn't go to the Taiwanese market in pai
How much did you pay a night for the buzza's guesthouse? :)

Where do I sign up for your kind of life?
+Guapo Vagabondz Tales Haha... I suppose it's where you place your priorities, what you want as a reward and what you're willing to sacrifice. ;D Don't you have a similar life?
1:55ff - "...and drive around on a motorbike and see all this nature."
Should be more like "...and see all these denuded hills deprived of their formerly lush rain forest cover."
+Thomas Schmid You're probably thinking more of Malaysia or Indonesia; they're closer to the equator than Northern Thailand. Rainforests are not typically Thai terrain. North might have more hilly terrain, karst mountains maybe, with more tree growth like Chiang Dao? (th-cam.com/video/FnJc5dF6dys/w-d-xo.html) , but I wouldn't quite call it "jungle ", either
I kinda know what you mean. haha.Thailand is changing like the rest of the world, but I like that doing so slowly compared to other countries. =D
+GRRRLTRAVELER | Christine Kaaloa I'm afraid you are not entirely correct there, Christine. The original tree cover of the hills of northern Thailand - which is still in the sub-tropical zone - was montane rain forest (as opposed to tropical rain forest such as in Malaysia and Indonesia). And where elevations exceed 600 or 700 meters (which is rarely the case in northern Thailand), this changes to temperate-climate deciduous forest. But my real point was that the natural tree cover is pretty much gone - and regardless whether it once may have been montane rain forest or deciduous forest - thanks to rampant illegal logging that proliferated especially in the 1980s and well into the 1990s. Nowadays most hills are either completely bare or have re-grown a few shrubs and smaller trees (a.k.a. degraded forest).
On another note, when I visited Pai in the late 1980s, it still was a beautifully quiet town enveloped in densely forested hills and practically devoid of any foreign tourists. Oh, and there was no way one could indulge in fruit shakes or banana pancakes either, nor spend an evening in a string of excessively noisy bars and karaoke shacks. Just like elsewhere, the dubious I-am-oh-so-ethnic backpacker set has helped to change all that; and not necessarily for the better. I've been living in Thailand for almost 30 years now, and am avoiding more and more of the places that used to be personal favorites, because I don't want to constantly run into soul-searching, dreadlocks-brandishing, fisherman's trousers-wearing, self-appointed philosophers gorging themselves day-in, day-out on allegedly ethnic foods like muesli and strawberry yogurt.
I do enjoy your vlogs, though. You're trying to tread a middle path and obviously also do some research before you visit places. Let's meet up for a drink after your next dentist appointment in Bangkok.
+Thomas Schmid Interesting and thanks for sharing. I appreciate your passion! Sadly, with tourism and commercial development, no place is left untouched. There's always a controversial love-hate with the hippie over-transformation of Pai and i'm more turned off with tourist's party habits and blatant disregard for dress etiquette. When I was there in 2009, it was just turning. It's only gotten MORE. But it is a unique type of region, Thai artists are attempting to sculpt it into a contemporary/designerly fashion and it attracts different travelers as say.. Phuket.
I will burst your bubble and say I'm a UGE fan of the fruit shakes in Thailand (cause all that carnation milk can go to your waist) and have been in love with those fisherman pants for years. Those fishermen knew what they were doing by making them! =) Next time i'm in Bangkok, would love to meet up.!
+GRRRLTRAVELER | Christine Kaaloa Just got a little carried away by my passionate feelings, I guess, because in fact I DO like the occasional fresh fruit shake. But I would never (as in never EVER!!!) wear fisherman's pants even if my life depended on it - or socks with sandals, for that matter ;-) Look me up on LinkedIn for a fruit shake, beer, cocktail or a big, big jug of Carnation milk. Unlike on Facebook, I only accept very select few into my LinkedIn circle.
Aya service rent motobike 80,100a day add 40 baht for insurance no worry for damage to a bike it covered
How could you forget the Bamboo Bridge ???
Because it sucks and is mostly made out of metal?
You don't have to leave your passport to rent a motorbike/cycle in Thailand. If they say you have to do that, go to another place.
If you want a good bike you do.
hahah you point at tourists as your tourist helmet
You complain about tourists but you are making a video that is supposed to attract more tourists... Do you think sometimes?
wow pai has gotten really touristy since 2001😣
I was 30 years ago in Pai. now it is a tourist ghetto .
2most important things for traveller. 1.take care your money. 2.Never give your passport to anyone .
Definitely not the two most important things for travelers in Thailand.
"Tourists. Photoshoots."
Yet you're holding a video camera.
you are pretty
aww all i do is eat here haha
+Mika Myrie Been to Thailand yet? If so, you'll know what I mean. lol.
this looks like a horror to me. not going there. what hell! i lived in Thailand for 5 years!
Are you vegan
NEVER give your passport as security !
Always give it.
The Japanese did not build that bridge, British POWs did.
Don't ever leave your passport!
