holy moly look at the both sides surrounded by rice fields
after spending a couple days here in Pai we are ready to move to our next destination we are going
to Chiang Dao today but before we leave Pai there is one more place we want to check out we are here
at the Yun Lai Viewpoint this is where a yunnanese community lives they are Chinese immigrants
who have settled in Pai many years ago so let's check out their village and also their viewpoint
crazy I lived here before I've never been here it says
the ocean of clouds "Yun Lai" oh okay because in Chinese that says "Wan Loy" that also means
like the clouds are coming oh really yeah but why is Thai like so many more letters
you can see the whole Pai from here like literally it's kind of like in pockets isn't it we feel like
the main part of Pai is not that big it's like a bowl isn't it yeah it's a valley surrounded
by mountains during high season starting November to January this place is going to
be packed with tents you see they have space for you to camp and they're quite nice oh yeah
yeah like kind of like terraces but obviously it's not for like growing anything so yeah it's
probably for tents I saw them building some like bungalows there as well so oh it would
be nice yeah you wake up in the morning open your tents and it's a sea of clouds
you
see all of these I saw in the front that they call
this tree the love tree let's do it yeah we each have to write a message
because we've been together now for 13 years that's it only 13
years oh man I felt like a breeze not a lifetime
okay let's go to get these stones and put on this love tree and we go get something to eat
yeah so cute what does it say in Thai it just say the name of this place
okay we gotta write a message on it on the back
hey don't get distracted
Flora and Note forever I think it's missing something can I write it too yeah
you're stuck with me girl what do people usually write on it just their names
love messages oh this one just loves the earth oh that's nice cute like all kinds of messages
I didn't expect portion sizes to be that big we ordered three things we ordered one
of both of our favorites these steamed buns and you dip it in delicious condensed milk
and we got fried egg noodles with eggs and vegetables and this one is different yeah
i wanted to try this so it's like a
herbal chicken soup why is the chicken black it's the skin is black the meat too look
everything is dark but I remember you don't really eat the meat that much like there's not that much
meat on it it's quite a lean chicken this is my first time eating blackened chicken soup
oh wow this is one of the best chicken soups
it tastes like normal chicken a little bit chewier but much leaner like the meat is so lean
honestly everything is good what's the name of this place
I think it means 10 000 miles
we'll put the location and the link in the description because this place is so good and
it's so pleasant sitting here i have to show you the view look at this this is what we're looking at here
yeah crazy
so after we finish eating we are going to be leaving Pai today and driving to Chiang Dao
we booked a beautiful bungalow that
is right on the rice fields so we're going to just enjoy a night in Chiang Dao
um and also head back to Chiang Mai the day after we just have to hope that it doesn't rain
true
it was raining most of the drive you were sleeping wow the mountains in
Chiang Dao looks so beautiful there's like a huge one yeah that's the iconic Doi Luang
there isn't like a lot to do in Chiang Dao really now you can go to the Chiang Dao cave there's
the Chiang Dao waterfall I think a lot of people come to Chiang Dao for camping or glamping and
also doing like an overnight hike staying in a home stay with the hill tribes I think this is it
holy moly look at the both sides surrounded by rice fields look at the front of us
yeah that's Doi Luang and I think we're those huts there there's only three okay okay
everyone has like a huge smile yeah love it
can you hear the traditional Northern Thai music playing in the background
i can also hear the thunder hopefully it's going that way real quick if you own a small business like

get back to the video so the place we are staying at is called "Baan Porhdoi Goidao" which is not just like these three
units here it also has its own cafe back there which unit are we the middle one this one here
I think all the units have epic views yeah they all look at the mountain
let's go straight out to the balcony first even have bean bags wow
we came at the perfect time because of all the rice fields are so green
i'm so excited so hungry
before we eat though let's quickly do a room tour okay so I've now opened up all the blinds and
wow this room is pretty incredible we have a queen size bed here with the mosquito net
and all of that is facing the mountains the rice fields they also have both an AC unit
and a fan and a TV and also a little coffee station with a fridge and the washroom has
everything you need it has the sink has a nice shower hot water has a toilet I think
the highlight of this room is of course the deck where we'll be having dinner and
they already brought everything so I think it's time for us to start our barbecue whoa
the pan is nice and hot and we gotta put the fat some pork fat in the middle so the fat
can grease the pan yes so the fat can grease the pan there is a Thai saying that "mookata" cures everything
if you're heartbroken eat "mookata" if you lost your job eat "mookata"
what do we have here there's quite a bit of food
pork belly
i can be loud right we actually don't have neighbors no it's only us today we also have meatballs
tofu hot dogs I believe these are pork pork slice yeah mixed vegetables with of course "mookata" sauce
so crispy
I guess "mookata" does cure everything I don't even care what the weather is gonna be like
we'll probably sit here and grill for like two hours at least
wow breakfast looks so good this is exactly everything we like rice soup fruits eggs we
don't need the ham and the sausage and the bacon this is perfect and two hot americanos and two hot
americano rice soup probably from the rice from here it was really hard getting up this morning me too
I slept really well
it's super quiet around here there were some cicadas but once we actually went to bed I couldn't hear
them anymore so do you prefer a house in the middle of the rice field or beachfront house
you remember when we actually slept near the beach we had a terrible sleep yeah because the
waves are actually way too loud so I think rice field rice fields quite nice yeah rice field with
these mountain views I think this place did a really good job with all the small details they did to
their room the bed was really comfortable the washroom is like a decent size it's well lit
has hot water and having a cafe on site is a bonus because we usually have to drink instant
coffee and go out to get coffee but now we have it all delivered which is perfect so
you may be wondering how much we paid to stay at this place we paid 2500 Baht for the room for
two people also the dinner and the breakfast was included and it comes to like 68 US Dollars
which I think is a really really good deal and they only have three units I think high season
it will be hard to book this place and you can find it on booking.com I think we booked through Facebook
but you can find them on booking.com we find that a lot of home stays in like Chiang Dao
or even in like some Pai yeah like the not as well-known towns in Thailand you cannot find them
on booking.com you kind of have to book through their Facebook page cause they rather have a direct
transaction with you instead of having to pay commission to those third-party sites yeah and
it could also be the language barrier as well to set everything up in English because a lot
of Thais would just book directly through their website or their Facebook and it's easy for them
we hope you enjoyed spending a chill day with us driving from Pai all the way here to Chiang Dao as
always thank you so much for watching and have a wonderflo day we will see you in the next one bye
bloopers you see the pole there
awesome b-rolls such a beautiful cat yeah are you a boy or girl a girl well that's rude huh
