thank you one
okay guys it is our first day in chiang rai today and we're doing something
swept lots of things that are so exciting we're going to the golden triangle or you're going to
the karen tribes an hour-ish away from here and then we're also going to the opium museum so that
is all today we have a english-speaking tour guide he's dropped us off for breakfast at the
clock tower we went to get up this morning and it was literally pouring torrential rain so we
didn't come up for breakfast but he's dropped us here to grab something to eat before we go
we've just ordered some things that i probably would never order in my life so that's really
cool that i get to try something different oh thank you the donuts got here let's try them
with condensed milk
and we also have an amazing view of the clock tower right now
just kidding there's a power pole in front of
we have a vietnamese omelette or a pan fried egg with sausage
grounded pork imitation crab stick and we have some toast
oh it's like a cheese toastie
i love coffee also which brings me to my next point we're going to a coffee plantation tomorrow
so make sure you subscribe to watch tomorrow's video to really help me out with the youtube
algorithm but also you get to see me make some coffee and drink some coffee and coffee's the
best thing in the world so the omelette with the crab and the pork was 45 baht and it came with a
bun the ice lattes are 50 baht each the toast was 10 baht and the little donuts were 10 baht also
so now we're just having about a 45 minute drive to a tea plantation um and then that
will be our first stop for today our well second if you include breakfast but it was really nice
i think he was saying that normally obviously you have like rice and stuff for breakfast and
we chose bread but that's okay so now we're just in the car and it'll be a 45 minute drive
and we'll see you when we get to the location okay we are here at the tea plantation there's just
mountains and mountains and greenery and trees and it's so pretty and we're going
to taste some tea is this all tea oh yeah it's the tea i can show you
so these are the leaves are they tea leaves yeah tea leaf but this one is not normally
they will get only the young young one oh yeah only the on the top on the young one only but
this one is not so not so good but this like this yeah you see oh yeah yeah they will get only like
a tree lip on the top wow some more lip like this can make like a uh smelling like a sauce or some
lotion yeah everywhere anywhere everywhere four five months one time to get the the
tea leaf and it grows and yeah they need the young live coming to come up that's
why they have to cut like this all the time wow so now i think we're gonna taste some tea
taste some tea yeah so at home where we live there's a winery 45 minutes from where we are
and it reminds me of there it's really green and luscious so now we're at the
tea plantation tasting we're just going inside now and the views are still amazing oh it smells yum
yeah yeah this one is similar like i just mean yeah yeah quite similar but
cool but the first one we will try uh
number 17 first 17 yes you can try that oh smells good
oh i like that that smells good
it's warm yeah i like that it's really like pleasant to drink yeah it's really good yeah this
one the hat number two so this one tastes um and that kind of smells more like um i don't know like
english breakfast or something but it's not but the first one like they're so easy to drink like
obviously really nice tea
good morning
so we just got some green tea they were really nice but we both drink green tea especially when i
um diet and things but it smells delicious so
so we're just um having a look around the um store and we bought some of the green tea but then
we weren't going to get anything but the view here we just wanted to sit down and obviously try
the tea but the view here was just so good we just had to see it like we're just looking out
on like rows upon rows of tea leaves and then we got the what was this ice like ice lychee tea
oh that's really good that really tastes like lychee and then i got a iced
thai tea latte which is delicious before we came to thailand i was
obsessed with thai milk tea wasn't i yes it tastes like a thai milk tea but with a little bit of can
you take some coffee tiny bit of coffee yeah a little bit anyway you need to see the sphere
okay so we just had the tea took some photos and now we're on to the next place which i'm
not sure where it is yet opia museum yeah so now we're going there opium ted
so we are here at the opium museum so i think we're just going to learn a little bit about
how the opium trade happened and everything to do with like the borders of the myanmar and just opm
in general triangle area which is the area where there is um the borders with lao myanmar and here
in thailand it's an educational museum set up by the former queen of thailand so we'll see how we
go radically change international consumption and trade patterns cheap manufactured goods
first cloth and other mass-produced items and weapons or major exports from britain to the world
two important triangles of trade developed manufacturers send it to africa and america i'm
personally finding this a little bit hard to keep up with there's a lot of information here no and i
don't i didn't really know any of this happened to begin with so this place has so much info
and everything that like it's quite overwhelming for me because i'm didn't really know much about
it you knew a little bit and also like a general interest in yeah southeast asian culture so i
know a little bit about it so it's hard for me like i'm struggling with like the timeline
it's making sense that you would trade the drug for materials and medicine yeah initially people
used it for medicine and then all of a sudden they realized hang on this is super addictive we could
join okay michael explains things in a way that i understand he basically is reading the things
and then explaining it to me all the different countries fighting each other for control of the
opium in china and india and myanmar and then obviously we're about to go now is one of the
main trade ports yeah you can smelling yeah that was the that's the tea yeah that was the road yeah
it does smell like it a little bit use the flour yeah
every time i order it it's always really spicy so i can't eat it and i really like it
we just stopped at this restaurant and it's sort of like sitting on the border of thailand and
myanmar which is crazy did i say it right yeah i'm sorry
so now we're having some lunch so i ordered patra power with no spice so i've ordered it a few times
because i really like it and it's always too spicy for me so we're just looking out on the river
which is apparently their use as the border which is pretty crazy it's the mekong river which river
the mekong mekong river which is yeah what they use for the water so we're looking at main mark
yeah it's really nice changing your mind from my taste to espresso
um i don't know what the difference is i think
is it less it shouldn't be less milk i'll google it i've got chicken pad kapow
it's really nice
i'm pretty sure the next part is the hill tribes like the karen village i'm pretty sure don't quote
me but we're just having another drive to there we just finished lunch it was really good it's a
lot of info for one day it's currently just so you have an idea of time ten past two in the afternoon
let's get back in the car right now he's uh i couldn't prank the area yeah okay before corvette
they opened the water yes now it's uh it's still crossing the water so we've just been um we're
just walking around the golden circle area walking around the golden triangle area i keep getting
the wrong shape around the golden circle passion fruits myanmar yes yeah okay over there that is
i'm going to head up this little walkway thing with stairs and see what's up here
so this is really crazy because we're on top of basically a template like a lookout place
and you can see all three countries of this is obviously thailand this is lao over there
and this is myanmar and that's the mekong river and this is the mekong ring river and you just
have a vantage point where you can see all three and it's called the golden triangle
which is funny because it is triangle that's a different country and that's a different country
and this is a different country so it's a bit of a crazy thing to think about but yeah
thank you this uh this temple also is about 750 years old five years ago four five years
ago you have like a breaking down oh really yeah on the top now they cover the new one
yeah ah so it came off the top of it wow now in the city here yeah this is the original one
original one and what's this one called again cheddar
like drinks and things yeah is it there yeah what's it for to give them good things yeah
you can see that this all we have like a cherry like this all people
before they keep like they will keep some special cider wow or like uh respect them yeah
again okay you can see many style of the buddha we thought we have like many kingdoms before yes
so we just got here to the tribes the people are there
it's not like a neck it's longer but it's push push the shadow down yes and then you see
the people no more people like this yeah when they put it's like a push which take off it's
very sweet oh it's like they have to be careful who take care of today they moved from myanmar
to china tibet china to myanmar and then came to thailand yeah it's a cure yeah two kilos let's see
here
so it's starting to rain pretty badly it's been thundering sort of almost the last couple of
hours and i think now it's just like getting letting it all out but i need to go call it oh
i'm trying to find a toilet i haven't ever gone in anything like that before but
i found another one there's no toilet paper in there
okay that's what i end up done before this is a very humbling experience for me
there was no call of a bus so um or like at the war yeah like protect the yeah it's really raining
now you're not respect we have to read the view for them or something like that okay lots of rain
thank you
wow
oh they're so big okay didn't last that long which was good we just
waited under cover so i'm just walking through the villages i'm soaked oh no stay back
oh chicken chicken
i didn't bring the best shoes for this i don't think
so
now she's 57 years old no more no more no more oh you stopped
so thank you i learn one every day a new one every day
one of the lovely ladies you put what is it like a special mud kind of it's like it's
like a sun protectant sun protect it and uh i think they put it on because it means like yeah
to be beautiful but also protection it's like a beauty statement like you have myanmar it's
a beauty section it's like a makeup accessory it also helps deflect the shiny bits because
your forehead and your cheeks are where the sun's gonna hit the moon ah so they protect
with this so she put it on for me it feels like it's really cold like it's like uh refreshing
and i just feel it i start to dry now i like it it feels nice yeah and now you make coffee from
that yeah red one already that one there we will like put in the water tomorrow i explain you okay
cool yeah it's inside you can see inside they have like a two seed inside oh yeah see but this one
is i think not good so we just finished off at the tribes we're just trying to clean our feet
because of all the rain but we're heading back now that was the last sort of visit of the day
and it's five o'clock in the afternoon really big day but now we're just wiping our feet down
so we came to the blue temple instead of going home with last stop
what are you going to say he said it's new so it's only about 10 years old but it's um
it's blue and it's beautiful so there it is up there wow it's beautiful
this is kind of different because normally when you come you can't take photos inside
at all so this one the tour guide said that we're allowed to take photos anywhere so we're
allowed to bring the camera in and take photos inside there which normally you're not allowed
at all and they normally have guards there who watch you but i think that's the last
thing of the day now and now we're popping home buddha isn't isn't gold it's white yeah is that
just the way they build them now that is like a design design okay okay we are back from
our adventures today and we are looking for some dinner so stay tuned to find out where we end up
oh they're all birds yeah they are all birds and there's poo falling from the
sky chicken fried rice yeah cool so we're back where we had breakfast but for dinner
this is really good it was dull before so dinner was really yum michael said was like the best
pad that he's had in thailand and now we're just heading and trying to find some dessert but we're
kind of walking all over the place and can't really find anything yet so okay we are home
it is really late now it's basically 11 o'clock at night after dinner we had a look around and we're
looking for some like roti or dessert or something and we ended up getting a two-hour foot massage we
did that and then we had a look around this night market um it was obviously too late by then it was
like 9 30 at night so everything was kind of shut down but it looked like a really good place to
have dinner so we walked through there after that we found a roti place so we picked up a little bit
of roti and brought it back to the room and we ate that and now we're just gonna head to bed we have
