so today we are here at a thai bus station we decided last night to book a trip to chiang rai
so that's what we're doing today we are on the bus trip we're going to
see some amazing temples this afternoon we're going to get probably some street
food tonight stick around and let's see our trip to chiang rai
we will line up for the wrong bus so we got two iced lattes one with a little bit sugar michael x
they're 35 baht each i'm happy with that
i got the coffee there isn't much here to eat right now and i haven't had breakfast
and it's like a three hour bus ride i think so let's have a look for something
okay so i can't really find anything that has breakfast i
can't find anything for breakfast and the bus leaves in 20 minutes
so i'm not really sure what to do i want like a thai omelette but i can't find one
thank you our bus is here i think pulling up now but i'm just going to try this coffee
that's nerd noise that's that's murphy's law isn't it i don't like sugar and coffee
i like it so i went searching for a thai omelette but i don't really understand um
if they had anything or not but we ended up with a sausage roll thing for michael and i just got like
a coconut little cupcake thing um i might wait and see because we get food on the on the train
we get a couple of bits of things on the train so bus bus on the bus we're on a bus not a train
oh
um
the seat is actually pretty comfortable i'm pretty impressed there's um seat rest there for
your forest that flips up i don't know if we'll be able to use that because we've got bags here
and we have nowhere to put our drinks but you do get to like put your feet up with the thing which
i think is gonna be really comfortable if we can put our bag somewhere else but the
seat's actually pretty comfy and you've got like this head rest and yeah i could sit here
the bus is leaving it's so quiet on here though
we're about an hour and a half in it's about 10 30 we left at nine um we're just going through a
little town now we're going through like the hills and the mountains before but now there's like a
little town um i think you said we're stopping we stopped for food he's got his headphones in
i think michael told me that we stopped for food or somewhere or get out and stretch our legs but
i don't know if anywhere it must be around here i'm not sure yeah it's a cute little town
yeah i think we drove through that little town so i don't think that we're stopping i'm so tired i
only got about two hours sleep last night so i might stop editing a second and have a nap
we're here in chiang rai it's 12 30 so it took about three and a half hours we are just walking
to our um hostel at the moment we're in here for three nights it's about 400 meters away
it's a little walk but i it's very um i can hear a rooster and it looks a lot different to chiang
mai so far so it's really interesting for me it is chill so we're gonna walk to our hostel
look at that road it's beautiful
so we just got into our hostel it's literally just a room with a bed but we're going to spend the
next i can take my mask off now but we're going to spend the next like three days like out and like
doing like the coffee plantations and doing tours and things like that so we just thought that like
all we really need is somewhere to sleep so it's just literally a room so you basically walk in the
door there and then there's a bed there there's the bathroom there there's a tv and a fridge there
and that's the tour we do have a little balcony though
but i can't get out oh and there's a bathroom so shower toilet pretty standard really but i'm going
to sit here for a second and then i think we're going to head out to some temples right there
so we're about to go and look at some temples but first we haven't
really had a proper breakfast yet or food so we're gonna stop by this cafe
we're gonna have something to eat some coffee some sustenance and then we'll
get onto the temple so we'll see you in a minute i'm feeling about the comfortable
oh is there someone here all the species
okay we're gonna sit here and have some food and then
we're gonna head to the temples it's really pretty
that's so nice so cold and nice i love how they do see it's not the thing in australia no
we don't do soda pokes bridal fanta i just put my hair up because i have to wear
long pants to the temple and i'm hot finish it i've seen a nice coffee yeah local lovely bridge
so the beans have literally come from an hour for me thank you so i have my thai omelet with rice
and michael has his pork with fried rice and some egg um he has a soda i have a coffee and there's
it's so beautiful it's just trees up and up and it looks really pretty so let's eat some lunch
i love thailand so we're just discussing what we're gonna do for the day and tomorrow because
we wanted a tour guide just so we can give you like more information and obviously learn for
ourselves okay let's get to the white temple okay i'm starting to feel the rain and we're gonna get
rained on i just know it so i just want to take a second look at this road look at this city it's so
pretty it feels more yeah more relaxed i guess more more laid back laid back a bit more slower
pace it's really cool it's cool and it's really pretty like walking through the streets before
there's just like gold decorations sticking out of the ground it's really cool
well okay well that came out of nowhere we were like in the car
coming here and then all of a sudden he was like oh look there's a temple
there's the temple that was crazy it's kind of just in the middle of nowhere i mean everything
else is wow it's like white it's kind of burning my eyes i need sunglasses i think
we do see people in like shorts and stuff which i didn't think um you're allowed to
wear so i covered up i wore a shirt that covered my shoulders and pants that covered my knees so i
didn't think i could wear shorts or men could wear shorts but there are people here wearing shorts so
so
so she told me not to film so i'm trying to be really discreet right now it's a glaring white
like it's so white it's like blinding me so cost 100 baht to get into the temple per adult
it's of course it's 200 baht in total um inside that said no photo i did get a quick little
footage so i put that in here but we couldn't take any photos from the inside there was a
lots of artwork all over the walls there was a buddha and i guess shrine at the front really
pretty but shoes off obviously in the temple and now you can walk through to the rest
we're outside of the temple now but there's all these little buddha babies
on the side and it's just this big long line of beautiful colors and greenery look
wow so it's much green it's beautiful
so this is actually a super large complex when we sort of got here it looks like it's in the
middle of nowhere there are some shops sort of around it but it's kind of just plonked here and
obviously it's beautiful but there's nothing really else around so something
that's interesting about this waterfall part is that there's actually like pop culture things
in the waterfall if you live here if you know why there is ninja turtles in this waterfall
can you leave me a comment and let me know because i have no idea why and i'd love to find out
is it just fun i don't know and then there's like swans and buddhas and frogs and turtles
where do you want to get coffee from so we left we're out of the temple now
we picked up some pineapple uh feeling a little bit funny in the tummy okay
so oh we're gonna cross the road okay we saw this cafe um as we're coming past we
just want to sit for a sec before we go home i have a nice espresso no sugar michael got a
blueberry soda we're just gonna sit here and have um the pineapple and the coffee and then
we're gonna head back and have a rest cause i took it out of me i don't know about you
well we're stuck here because there's no grabs around we're stuck at the white temple so we've
probably waited like 20 minutes or more and there's no grabs around that uh oh or any grubs
at all so there's no cars that can take us back to our hostel so um i'm not sure what we're gonna do
look it's gonna rain too it's gonna rain we can't get home we're stuck there's no tuk-tuks there's
no like song towers there's no grabs we're stuck we just got to grab someone just accepted but i
can feel the raindrops on me what was that like 45 minutes later we waited like 45 minutes okay
we are finally back in chiang rai city we waited like 45 minutes ish maybe even longer for a grab
thank you and i was starting to think we weren't gonna get one but we got a really interesting
driver well i was getting in and he just kept like kind of yelling at me and i was just i
didn't really understand what he was saying and then like i just sat there and i was just like
what am i doing like what what do you say what are you saying and he just kept being like don't
touch the foot and i'm like what is that and he ended up he was saying like don't touch your
feet like don't touch your feet on the car and i was just like what am i meant to put my feet
like i'm so confused and then like michael got in and he's like said the same thing to you and
you're just like where did i put my feet down yeah i can't sit there with her off the ground
and then he just like we're going down the highway like so super fast until sudden this guy just goes
into the service station to fill up his petrol and then he left the car on while the petrol got
filled up and i feel like that's how cars blow up but anyway that was an interesting ride back
travel am i right he did ask us to give him five stars but he did at the end he said give me five
stars and i was like maybe now we're just walking back to the hostel again for the second time today
we're just gonna have a quick little rest um and i didn't know this but
the street food market is literally on our road i'll see if i can show you
see so we're gonna have a quick little rest and then we're gonna get ready
we're gonna go have some street food go have some dinner and show you
what street food's like in chiang rai so i'll see you in a second okay there seems to be
some kind of like festival on out here hard to hear anything actually it's really really loud
but there's rows and roses and rows of street food i had a little nap so i'm a little bit tired
i'm honestly not even sure what kind of food i feel like to be honest i just
the food went both ways down the street and we just kind of picked away went that way
waffle and i haven't got dinner yet salt please
we pretty much finished it but i got some fried potato with salt like 20 baht so good just like
fried potato but something simple is so delicious so i'm really looking for a milo ice but i can't
find anyone who's doing any milo ice there's someone back there who has um oreo i think
yeah okay still no milo eyes for me and it doesn't look like there's any so
i'm just gonna have to get some more food
i got a strawberry on the back so it's like strawberry and chocolate
mmm they're like dried chocolate on it's nice i came in the bathroom because
it's really dark and this is the only light that we have and my camera isn't really good in the
night time right now but anyway we're back i was really after a milo ice so bad and i couldn't find
one anywhere so i actually went down to where we're staying they have like a cafe downstairs
and she didn't have ice smeller either but she had iced cocoa so i'm going to try a nurse coco
