TEMPLES IN CHIANG MAI - Why Women Can't Enter
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- There are almost 300 temples in Chiang Mai, Thailand. However, we share the Thai history behind why women can’t enter some of them. Watch to see our picks for the Top 3 temples in Chiang Mai, and which ones you can’t enter if you are a woman.
If you are coming to travel Thailand on holiday, it’s likely you won’t have nearly enough time to visit all 300 temples in Chiang Mai Thailand. So, we are sharing the 3 best temples in Chiang Mai you should visit to get the biggest diversity in styles and cultures.
The first temple we visited was the Silver Temple Chiang Mai. This temple was easily the most unique temple we have ever seen and it sat beside a silversmith village. The entire temple was plated in silver and metal in 2008 as a tribute to the heavy influence silver had on northern Thai history. So, you’re wondering which temples women can’t enter? The Silver temple is one of them. We love sharing facts about Thailand when we come across them, and this was a piece of Thailand information we could not pass up. As we arrived at the silver temple, sure enough we were greeted with a big “Women can’t enter silver temple” sign. The history behind this Thai rule stems from an old Buddhist rule that states the presence of a woman can disrupt relics and energy that are found throughout the temples. If a women does enter one of the temples in Thailand that is marked as forbidden, it is said they will experience bodily harm.
The next temple is called Wat Chedi Luang and it’s one of the most popular places to visit in Chiang Mai due to it’s central proximity in the Old City. Wat Chedi Luang is a standing piece of Thai history, as it survived an earthquake in the early 1500’s which demolished the top half of the pagoda. One of the more interesting facts about Thailand originated here with a tree planted centuries ago right next to Wat Chedi Luang. It is said that the tree is the protector of the region and if it falls, a big catastrophe will take place.
One of the last, and arguably most magnificent, temples in Chiang Mai we visited was Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. This temple is on everyones list of the top things to do in Chiang Mai. The Doi Suthep Temple is one of the holiest buddhist temples in all of the world, as it is said to hold the shoulder bone of Buddha himself. This makes Wat Phra That Doi Suthep a popular buddhist pilgrimage site and also one of the most culturally rich places to see while you travel Thailand.
If you guys enjoyed seeing our Top 3 list of the best temples in Chiang Mai, give this video a thumbs up! Which temples are you planning on visiting? Are you upset by the Buddhist rule that women can’t enter some temples? We are living in Chiang Mai Thailand for 2 months, so be sure to stick around and see more Thailand travel vlogs. If you want to learn more facts about Thailand, go see our Thailand travel vlogs in Bangkok and Southern Thailand.

Both of u are good-Americans. You've done homework prior to visit. You care about history (I'm Thai but live in CA for 15 years. I can sense most Americans don't seem to care about history). Stacia used the term "Lanna" (northern Thailand), I'm impressed. Actually, Lanna is not just a dynasty. It was once a Kingdom. After Ayuthaya Kingdom won battles over Lanna, from that point on, Lanna was included as part of Ayuthaya (Later, Thailand). It's similar to England & Scotland story.... As far as my favorite temple in CM, I'd give it to "Wat Umong" (tunnel temple). It looks ancient. There're tunnel / cave system run through the temple, act as path ways to link each chambers...... Overall, u 2 have done really good job in vloging, explaining, etc... and by u 2 have interest in history, that'll enhance your travel experience cuz u explore places in depth. I'd say u 2 are 1% of American tourists who do that, ha ha ha.... P.S. I'll show this vlog to my American neighbors, they don't even know what CM is.
Thank you for this comment!! We love America, but it’s unfortunate to hear that sometimes tourists just go through the motions. Hopefully our videos can help share some information with future travelers ☺️❤️ I saw the tunnel temple, which looked incredible!! Maybe that’s something we will check out soon. Thanks for your added info and we appreciate the support! Cheers to you in Cali 👋
That’s what I also love about this channel.
agree!! lots of tourists visit Thailand to express and do what the are not allowed in their land. Poor Thailand to be a place of bad behavior explosion.
I'm an American and I love history but yes sadly most of my fellow Americans couldn't care less. It's a shame and is frustrating.
American here, totally agree. Many are brainwashed into "faux green leaders" proclaiming "going green" while exhausting a carbon trail of there own higher than 99.9% of people per capita.
awesome b-roll cinematics off the charts guys
Thanks so much! This is definitely one of my better edits. Glad you noticed that hard work 🙏🏻❤️
Supporting here nice place
Spent 12 days in Chiang Mai my last trip. Not sure how the Silver Temple slipped my radar.
I think you confirmed my suspicion regarding the Emerald Buddha in this vlog. In Chiang Rai, I visited Wat Phra Kaeo. It also goes by " Temple of the Emerald Buddha." As you mentioned, the "Emerald Buddha" is now in Bangkok., that is what my research prior to trip also confirmed. There is actually a emerald buddha, and one of the finest I've seen. The local monk insisted it was the actual Emerald Buddha. Something I'm sure went awry in the translations.
Great video. I see that you went back to the Sony 5100 ;) What happened to the Sony rx.
Haha yes! The RX100 is just for raw videos. I think we will film one in the next day or two!
DeathByVlog I like your channel so much. I am trying to figure out how you do your broll in pass two days. It is like a magic. If you share how with us we will be happy, please. I think it is because the focal length with a slow motion right?
I am Thai, Buddhism in Thailand is Theravada. There are many taboos about women
Theravada Buddhism is orthodox and pure school of Buddhism. Your Thai Buddhists follow Brahmanism. Not Buddhism
Ayyyyy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
FRAAAAAAAAP! 👍🏻❤️
Nate yayyyy fraapppp in the House 🙏❤️
Stacia Sleight Get well soon Stacia ❤️
DeathByVlog love the intro ❤️😍
Love to learn the history of places from Stacia. Keep doing it guy. That's why I love this channel.
Thank you so much mate! 😊❤️
Thank you!!! I love learning about the different places we travel to and it makes me happy to hear when people like it too :) Hope you have a nice weekend!
stacy is right, as guest in this beautiful nation, just follow the rules & culture
or stay at home and get offended everyday.
You guys are back in Thailand!
Welcome to my hometown, Chiang Mai! :D
Hope you have a great time here.
Those are real silver :) The total budget of this temple is 25 million baht, it is said to be the first silver temple in the world.
25 million baht?!?! Wow!! That’s incredible. All of the temples were gorgeous ❤️
Beautiful filming and edit.
Thank you! 😊
OMG you guys!!! Just started following you & I'm already in love! Stacia, I LOVED how you handled not being able to go into the temples with not only grace but explained it in a way that viewers can be more thoughtful about stepping outside of their own ethnocentric mindsets and still enjoy the experience.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Welcome to the DBVfam 😊❤️
Great video as usual. These three temples are really beautiful. Love your video.
I could add a bit more info on the forbidden ladies to go into the temple. I'll make it very short.
Thai people believe that the period blood of ladies has witchcraft effect. Therefore if the ladies who are on period go into the temple and step across a sacred item that buried beneath, then the sacred item will lose its positive good luck charming protective effect. They can never know who is on period. So the best way is to forbid all ladies to go into places that have a sacred item.
This is the shortest version I could explain. Hope it helps. ^_^
BTW my fav temple is Wat Phratat Doi Suthep. It is like a heart of Chiang Mai people. (Chiang Mai is my hometown).
👍😄😃
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed this one. We appreciate the additional information about the women not being able to enter the temples. We love facts 😊
Yes!! I have been reading your latest comments and really love how knowledgeable you are. I so appreciate you sharing this with us too. Glad to have you here on the channel. If you'd like, feel free to type a list of "must try" northern thai foods for our food video! That would be very helpful to hear suggestions from a true local :) cheers
@@staciasleight3369 Will definitely do that. ^_^
@@ThailandSecret In Southern Indian state Kerala there's a temple called Sabarimala Temple and women are not allowed inside for the same reason. (Though the ban has recently been lifted by the Supreme Court of India)
@@dwai.d I think we Asian has similarity in this kind of stuff since Thailand has also received lots of influence by India. 👍😉
I am Thai and I live for 21 year in Germany, I love the way you show my home country.. different things that is amazing
Thank you so much 🙏🏻😊
@@DeathByVlog you are welcome. If you come to Thailand again. Try to come to Phetchabun province.. also nice temple at the mountain..
I'm not sure about Thai culture but in Indian culture, only a few temples don't allow women for their own health and related issues. There is ALWAYS a reason for any rule in any culture and when you spend a little time researching it all makes sense (at least for that period in time when they came up with the rule) If the rule doesn't make any sense in this age then I'm sure governments/scholars/officials think about bringing changes to these centuries-old cultural rules.
I love these videos! And I'm learning so much when it comes to editing and slo-mo just by watching. I'm in Thailand now and you guys were one of the main reasons I came. Thank you SO much!
Thanks man! Glad to hear our videos inspired you. You’re going to love Thailand!
Another great video !with great information and editing .Your hard work is obvious guys .There is another special thing about you is that you reply on each and every comment which also needs time and effort.I appreciate it.I love that you divide the work between you but I have a suggestion why not to swich roles in one video so Ryan takes the information and picking the places part and Stacia films the video and edit it.Just even for one video ,it will be so much fun and new to the channel.
Now THAT would be one interesting and mess of a video haha 😂
Gosh, you both put in so much effort in learning about the beautiful places you visit and in turn educate us. I don’t do simultaneous search on Wikipedia anymore since I discovered your channel. Thank you and love you guys !
Thank you for the nice comment 😊🙏🏻 Although, Wikipedia may have more info than we do haha 😂 Really glad to hear you enjoy our videos. Thanks for the continued support ❤️
Thank you from Thailand.
Thank you for watching! We really appreciate it 🙏 We are excited to experience Loy Krathong this week, thanks for the warm welcome to your country!
@@DeathByVlog Enjoy the festival. love the detailed info, that's one of the reasons I started my channel. Keep up the great work.
Leave it to Stacia, she knows where to go and what to see...she is very knowledgeable. Stacia...sorry you couldn't go in the Silver Temple, but Ryan took great videos for us. Not a good way to end the video, though, hope you are okay. Take care guys!
Hey there!!! Good to hear from you. How’s the fishing this time of year?
Glad you liked this video... the temples were so beautiful and yes, glad at least one of us got to film the inside haha. Can’t wait to explore more! And Stacia is feeling much better, thanks for asking ☺️☺️❤️
Beautiful video as always , I’m hoping to go back to Chiang Mai in January, and visit the Silver temple . I love the design and detail of the temples , but I didn’t visit that one . Great artistic videography , well done .
Thank you Brian! Yes, Chiang Mai is amazing. We have been loving it here. We are extending our visas for another month and going to explore even more. Hopefully on your next visit here you can visit the one you missed 😊
มันจะอร่อยมากผักมันจะกรอบหวานเส้นมันจะเหมือนแบบไม่สุกนะมันจะเป็นนุ่มๆกรุบๆเขาเรียกว่าราดหน้าหมี่กรอบมันกรอบจริงๆมันกรุบๆเหมือนเนื้อที่ย่างไม่สุก
Go วัดต้นแกว่น
This Video is very helpful to going over there, thank you for your advice for finding every place
Hello 🤩 Well come to Thailand. Nice to see your clip. 😊
คือก่อนหน้านี้ก็เคยดูคลิปแบบผ่านๆไปแต่ไม่เคยคิดว่าเราจะชอบใจนิสัยกันถูกใจกันมันเป็นเรื่องบังเอิญต้องขอบคุณผู้ใหญ่เขา
ถ้ามันเป็นเรื่องจริงถ้าเธอชัดเจนฉันก็ขอเริ่มต้นจากตรงนี้ถ้ามันไม่ใช่ก็ขอให้เธอโชคดีฉันจะทำให้ดีที่สุด
ไม่มีใครลืมบ้านเกิดตัวเองหรอกจะตั้งคำถามนี้เลยฉันทำเพื่ออะไรพวกคุณต่างหากทำตัวเป็นสายลมพัดไปมา
คบกันดูก่อนอยากรู้ว่าเหตุบังเอิญมันจะไปได้ไกลถึงไหนถ้าเขาเป็นภรรยาฉันจริงๆมีฟ้าถล่มแผ่นดินสักที
How Buddha went to Thailand?
India and Thailand are far from each other
มันคือความจริงข้อหนึ่งนะเราไม่ทำอยู่เฉยๆคิดว่าเขาจะเลิกก็ไม่เลิกเขาก็หาวิธีหาช่องทำลาย
แต่ตอนนี้หยุดก่อนนะเรื่องคลิปวีดีโอไม่มีเพิ่มจากนี้จนกว่าทุกอย่างจะเรียบร้อย
Best B roll and music choices, as always. Chiang Mai is definitely on my list! It looks super nice. Really excited to take advantage of all the flight opportunities from here in KL.
Keep up the awesome videos. 🍻
Thanks Brandon! Appreciate that 👍🏻 The flights from KL are super affordable. We are actually going back to KL just to fly out and save money 😂
Yes, visit Chiang Mai!! We love this place so much we are extending our visas and staying another month haha :)
That's awesome. We just finished a year in Hanoi. Got to see lots of Vietnam, but not much else. Bangkok, Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China. So many more opportunities from here in KL! Definitely going to have to re-watch some of your old Malaysia vlogs to get inspired. We'll be spending at least 7 months here, so we can manage to fit in Indonesia, Singapore, Cambodia, Australia and a bunch of others.
Looking forward to seeing what you guys are up to next! Any solid plans after the Chiang Mai extension??
Loved to see this amazing places. I’ve learned so many details of this place. Now I’m planning to visit this place. Never knew until now. Thanks so much to the both of you. Take care and more power 😍
So glad to hear you plan to visit!!! The silver temple was out of this world, so beautiful. Can’t wait to hear about your experience ☺️❤️
I love how you guys mentioned not being offended about the 'no women allowed' restriction. A lot of tourist try to force their country's rules or should I say 'American' rules onto other cultures and religions for that matter. I could see a group of western foreigners getting offended and making a big fuss about this. Thank you for this! Stay blessed.
P.s, I mentioned on your insta story, that silver temple is straight out of those Asian fantasy movies. Such a gem!
Yeah, we always stay respectful!!! I would be embarrassed to see someone from the western world protesting this rule. Thank you for your support and for enjoying our videos, we truly appreciate it 🙏🙏 And yes, we love the silver temple, I think it’s our favorite one so far in our travels!! Cheers
I'm glad you guys came back to Thailand again.
If you want to see Chiang Mai's local culture or performances. I suggest you go to " Old chiangmai cultural center " at Thipanet Rd
oldchiangmai.com/
......... There was a performance at dinner with the show. There is a government owned. Price is not expensive. 570 baht / person Include food.
a sample ruclips.net/video/_0UkjRzSa0c/видео.html
And if you want to eat authentic Chiang Mai and delicious.
I recommend the restaurant name " Baan Rai Yam Yen " th.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g293917-d3704097-Reviews-Baan_Rai_Yam_Yen-Chiang_Mai.html
There are no foreign tourists to eat. Most Thai people go to eat there and not expensive. My favorite restaurant in Chiang Mai.But if you do not like Chiang Mai local food. You should not eat because it may not be delicious for you. enjoy
Wow! Thank you for all this great information! We have some reading to do 😊🙏🏻
ทำอะไรก็ขึ้นไวเหมือนปราสาททองคำมันเหมือนในรูปภาพนี้แหละ
Wish these videos encourage others to travel and write not only their memories for life expand one’s horizon, depth to life, and understand to respect other cultures like yourselves ! Being a Buddhist myself hard to understand why women were not allowed as it is itself contradictory to Buddha’s philosophy but watching you respect that rule was very noble ! ( as foreign travelers take law to hand and seen get kicked out of these counties as respect is highly regarded )
This is such a kind comment, thank you ❤️ I agree with you in not understanding but we always respect the culture we visit. Seen a few of your comments now, where are you from? Happy to have you in the DBVfam 😊😊
DeathByVlog You are welcome ! My birth country is Sri Lanka and was nostalgic to see the sea side stay as it is weekend lifestyle there!!
Buddhism in Thailand is heavily influenced by hinduism and also traditional animism or folk religion (basically, spirits and black magic and stuff)... outside of Bangkok, you will get these rules and it's because they're more traditional and they believe in certain superstitions passed on through generations. Thais are not completely "Thai", a lot are mon decent, khmer decent and in Chiang Mai Lanna decent and they kept their own customs for the most part. So, you won't experience the same rules in different parts of Thailand.
(So the world map is misleading but Thailand is bigger than Sweden and stretches from the canadian border to the mexican border of the us. So it's quite a big country with 60 ethnic groups)
ฉันคิดว่าพัทยาไม่คิดที่สุดท้ายหรอกมันเป็นแค่ที่เริ่มต้น
ดีนะมีสติยังกลับมาทันยังไงฉันก็ให้เป็นหัวหน้าอยู่ดี
I always love seeing your videos about Thailand. I was happy to see this video coz I have just been in 3 of these temples last month, May 2019. I agree that the Silver Temple is indeed unique and one of the best. I've always loved Chiang Mai and I can't wait to be back hopefully for Loi Krathong this year.
Chiang mai is my hometown, welcome😊
Absolutely breath taking.....love the silver work .....
Can't top it....5" of snow here.
Snow?! Haha we are secretly missing snow right now. Shhhhh! 😂
The next week on November 22 have Loy Krathong festival Hope you enjoy this festival.
If you have time, try to go Wat Rong Khun, “The White Temple” in Chiang Rai .The temple is very beautiful. Sorry my English isn’ that good (T-T)
Hi Sakura! Yes, we are actually going there after our Thanksgiving dinner 😉 And the day after we got VIP tickets to the Yi Peng festival too. Really excited for that! Next month we plan on visiting Chiang Rai for a few days and going to see the white temple. It looks amazing ❤️
Thank you for these suggestions!! We are so looking forward to experiencing Loy Krathong and Yi Peng... feeling thankful :) Have a nice weekend, Sakura
@@DeathByVlog I’m live near Bangkok. I’m never go to Yi Peng festival wating your Yi Peng festival vlog ^0^//
@@staciasleight3369 Your head OK?? ? Be careful ^^
Have a nice trip too. I’m wating for your travel Vlog ^^//
Thank you!!! ❤️
เกาะติดสถานการณ์ไว้เงินกู้พม่า
I like Chiang Mai I love thailand
Love this video, and what I love more is the respect you show by explaining why women are not allowed in. You're so right. This is why more people need to respect cultures in different countries... Chaing Mai is one of our favorite places in Thailand to go, have been everywhere you have shown.. Next trip will be 10 times to Thailand... Cheers!
One of the good contents for Thailand in YT ....Im watching
Thank you so much! Glad you’re enjoying all the videos 😊 We have a Bangkok series from a few months back if you’re interested. Welcome to the DBVfam ❤️
Subscribe. From Thailand. I like your videos
Hello! Thank you for subscribing 🙏🏻 Welcome to the DBVfam 😊
I love your slo-mo shots. Your choice of music to overlay the slo-mo shots was perfect. I am glad you both were able to experience the culture/religion of Buhda.
Thank you so much Jason 🙏 We are happy you enjoyed and we love sharing our experiences here!! Have a good week
Love your video! I just returned from my 13days in Thailand and didn’t know about the first two temples while I was in Chiang Mai otherwise I would have find a way to visit them.
Thanks so much! Very happy to know you enjoyed the video 😊 Sorry you weren’t able to see the first two temples. The silver one is amazing! But I hope the video helped you experience some of it through our eyes ❤️
That's interesting !
So you have included Doi Suthep temple's visit in your itinerary. Great !
Previously, I had to walk up and down the steps. And the Entrance have 2 Nagas (one on the Right and the other on the Left side).
Remember, the Batu Caves steps in KL, Malaysia ? It was similar.
1 Btw, you can also buy a Travel Insurance policy.
2 Fyi, towards November to January every year, it is supposed to be the raining (monsoon) season. So, you may like to carry an umbrella.
Happy holidays.
Cheers
Very cool! Yes, this place was beautiful. We almost walked up the steps but decided to just take the easy way up 😂
@@DeathByVlog We went for the first time when you had to climb the steps, and trust me being a smoker it was no small feat! Now i ride up lol. Have rang the bells many times up there, must be why we go back so much :) Cheers!
Those temples are really cool! Quick question how is the weather over there? We got snow the other day in philly 🤦🏾♂️😐
RafaelQ snow nooooo. I saw all the pics. Looks nicer than it feels I’m sure! The weather is great here in Chiang Mai right now!! About 85 during the day and gets down to 70-75 at night which is perfect. Midday is humid but it’s generally good weather. We sure will miss having a white Christmas though! Hope this winter isn’t too brutal for you
I personally miss that snow ❄️ ⛄️ Great for capturing good photos 👍🏻
So Beautiful🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱❤❤
New subscriber to your channel here! Quick question. Starting at 00:07, what camera are you using in these sequences and are you using a gimball? Thanks and more power to your channel!
Hi! I use three cameras for my broll. Sony A7iii, Sony A7Sii and Sony A5100. I don’t use a gimbal, all shots are handheld. Glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos. Welcome to the DBVfam! 😊❤️
Nice video I hope you enjoy in Chiang Mai . Chiangmai is the best destination . Thank you for visit my home 😍
stacia, good thing ryan is there to document everything inside the temple. and i agree with you that we must always respect other cultures. that hurts!!!!
Jan Lim I know!! I got lucky to have him there to film the insides ☺️ The inside of the silver temple is beautiful looking! Yeah, I read some blogs that women (well, backpacker girls probably) were protesting and yelling at the guards of the temples for stopping them from entering. How rude of those women, I am embarrassed for all women hearing that!
@@staciasleight3369 yeah that really rude of them, they should realize that temples are holy for their faithfuls, so they must respect that. how's your head?
Jan Lim haha it’s okay Jan, thanks for asking. Hurt for the rest of the night but not much past that. I must be thick skulled 😂 But we already kinda knew that 😜

Thanks Nicky! Stacia does an awesome job with researching the places we visit 😊
Welcome to Chiang Mai.
Old Lanna Kingdom is Chiang San in Chiang rai province , it is Beautiful City.
Thank you! We are loving Chiang Mai ❤️ Excited to explore Chiang Rai also.
Hi Team - another great release, enjoyed the vid and editing :) Hope you're enjoying Chiang Mai, it's such a city of contrasts from the historic temples, to the mega malls to the cafe culture.
PS how is the new camera going? Are you used to it yet?
Hope Stacia wasn't concussed from that loud bump at the end !
@khoistar
Hey there!! Great to hear from ya. Yeah, this is really our ideal city, plenty of culture but still a developed infrastructure for modern wants and needs. We LOVE Chiang Mai and can’t wait to get out and explore more into the hills and nature too.
New camera is meh haha. I haven’t used it since that day, but we are filming another raw vlog soon so I’ll use it and see 😉
Stacia is feeling much better! Just a day of soreness really, thanks for asking!
Thank you for visiting Thailand.
We love Thailand! Thank you for your warm welcome 😊❤️
Beautiful indeed. In fact, I would say that your skills are superb and I really appreciate your patience, application of mind in capturing the real pictures of the world. I wish you every success in your life. Have a wonderful and fantastic journeys ahead!! Best regards, Nassa
ทีมตั้งใจมาแล้วจะให้มันต้องเลิกกลางทางเลยอีกสัก 2-3 ปีฉันเรียบร้อยกลับมาใหม่ก็ได้จะซื้อบ้านอยู่ถาวรก็ยังได้
You should go to Chiang Rai for a couple of days go and see Rong Suea Ten (blue temple) and Wat Rong Khun (white temple) you will love them
Sold! ☺️❤️ We can’t wait for a weekend trip to Chiang Rai... hopefully the golden triangle too!
Gorgeous video! Watching all the beautiful b-roll footage got me so emotional. Not just because it was moving, but because when I was in Thailand for a week I wasn’t able to visit any temples. Watching your videos helps me experience all the things I wanted to do while I was there. 😭 So thank you for that. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much Sorany Var!! So glad to know you enjoyed the video and it helped you see some places you weren’t able to experience. We have some more awesome Chiang Mai videos coming soon. Stay tuned 😊
DeathByVlog woohoo 🙌🏼 🙏🏼
You are in Chiang Mai; I recommend you go to Chiang Rai and visit Wat Rong Khun (White temple)
Hi Ben! Yes, we are going to spend a few days there to visit those places. Excited to see the white temple. Looks amazing 😮
Gotta make travel list, “Stacia’s Choice!” Lol. That bump at the end geez! I hope your ok Stacia 🤕
Haha!!! I try not to steer you wrong! And yes, I’m okay, thank you!! It was fine after a day or so :)
Love great vid
.
Thank you!
Ouch Stacia! Been there...Done that. I used to run network cable in our attic at work....There's a huge I-Beam that bears my name on it from nearly knocking myself out. I can guarantee you, that that I-Beam I smashed my head on did not budge. I hope you're okay.
Great video guys. Sucks these old traditions still remain in effect in this day of age. I guess some countries are afraid of change.
Oh my gosh you got knocked out?!?! That must have been soooo hard. Well, glad you were okay and I am feeling much better as well. Hope you’re having a great weekend so far John ☺️
👍🏼👍🏼Stacia really did her homework!!! Great job! and through Ryan's lens too😃. As for the coins not positively sure but as a local, I think its suppose to be a small donation of some sort just like if you had a pond/fountain where you toss coins and make a wish. Here you pray, make a wish, and stick the coins with the candle wax. Bhuddist monks perhaps use coins to give to the poor or use it for good deeds in the temple.🤔
Thanks for your comments about the coins!!! That makes sense ☺️ We are really happy you enjoyed the video and it’s nice to hear from a local perspective. Cheers!! We can’t wait for this upcoming week btw... if you have any recommendations on what not to miss for the Loy Krathong festival let us know ☺️❤️
สวัสดีครับเที่ยวให้สนุกนะครับประเทศไทยแลนด์มีที่เที่ยวเยอะครับ
Hey DBV!
😖I cringed and felt for Stacia when she whacked her head on that sharp pointy thing. That must’ve been one heck of an ouchie! I know the pain because as an accident prone person myself, I’ve had one too many ouchies over the years, some needing medical attention. One of the hazards, foreign tourists should be aware of while visiting temples in Chiang Mai. When the temple was built, they did not budget in the height of foreigners from the Western Hemisphere... Is the goose egg still there Stacia? 😯
Excellent cinematography and a stirring soundtrack accompanying and synchronized to the images of the motion picture, well done again guys!
The temple(s) run was a great idea, similar to the chicken run.... wait a minute... 🤔...😆
When you pointed at the “No women allowed...” sign, that got me thinking...
Spotted a sign welcoming visitors to Chiang Mai... “Welcome to Chiang Mai. When it’s hot please dress for the body you have, not the body you want thanks”
Also spotted, a sign on a fire exit which reads “ In case of fire, exit building before tweeting about it”
Another sign at a cafe reads “Unattended children will be given espresso and a monkey”
What about this sign on a blackboard at a primary school “Dear algebra, please stop asking us to find your X. She’s never coming back and don’t ask Y”
Too much? ...
Stacia did make the best decision, those 3 places are well-known landmarks.
Ps is chang my Good and is it cheap hotels or units thanks in advance
We mostly use AirBnB and you can definitely find some good deals in Chiang Mai. 500-1300 USD for 30 day rentals
loved your mesmerizing coverage of changmai temples... you guys rock
Thanks man!! We always appreciate your support. These temples blew us away 🙏☺️
Great vlog series from arguably by favorite city in Thailand! Thanks for posting ☺️
I was just about to comment on the stellar quality of B roll in this one and then came the ending. Hahahahhaha. Hope she's ok though
Thanks Alden! This one took a lot of work but I’m super happy with it. Yes, Stacia is ok. Thanks for asking 😊
Alden R. Machado hahaha Awww thanks so much. Haha I watched the clip back and was like OMG that was so hard!! Luckily it didn’t break the skin, I must have a thick head 😂😂
As usual, epic video! You guys are awesome! Respect!
Thank you Kate!! ❤️❤️❤️
Both of you should be working in Hollywood. Charming couple🙂
Kruba Srivichai and Wat PhraThat Doi Suthep was related cause Kruba get the road up there so peoples in CM respected more than you might thinking
I am from Delco Pa.( Phila Suburbs). Ive been to I love Thailand been there many times.
Breathless.
🙏☺️ These spots were just beautiful.
In Ancient Lanna , beneath the temple usually kept a weapons - sacred relic - buddha statue and some stuff that put on a spells (unbreakable , invisible ,disguise , protecting , etc..)
and some spell can be Inactivated if woman step over a magic territory (
it about Menstruation )
I think the lens you use overpowering for the pictures you take is a too close range...all you need is an f 24-105 is perfect!!!
Forbidding women to enter because of the contents of the pagoda is considered inappropriate in religious beliefs.
Love your video. A lot of useful information
Thank you! ❤️🙏🏻
By far the most informative and helpful vlogs i have found. Thank you. You may also just help me to have a successful lantern festival as well 🙂
Welcome to thailand😍😍
Thank you so much!! ❤️🙏 We love it here
By the way that is not a Buddhist teaching. It is a local custom but this is not a Buddhist teaching that can be found in the Tripitaka. There is a grave difference
It is not a buddhist rule at all. It was an indigenous/traditional rule who survived and was incorpored to Thai religion. Buddha would be not this misogynistic. This kind of old shit is precisely what some more humanistic monks are trying to eliminate from Buddhism.
I believe the coins are just for luck :) What we were told anyways. Cheers:)
Amazing video 😁 👍👍👌
New subscriber here from Bandung, Indonesia 😊
Tria Yuda Purnama hi Tria!!! Glad to have you as our new subscriber ☺️☺️ Thanks for introducing yourself, talking to ya again soon!
Hello Tria! Thank you and welcome to the channel. Great to have you here. Be sure to check out our Indonesia videos from the past two months. We had so much fun in Bali ❤️
We were in Chiang Mai last November, too. We hit the mountain villages and walked the stairs to Wat Doi Sutep first and were too tired to hit any temples the rest of our time in Chiang Mai
Because,in the base of the main Pagoga in the northern part of thailand placed the fragment of the bone of Buddha(rylic) . The girls sometimes have menstrument and may mess the place that buddhist hold that it brought a sin to them and city
It is the same concept that monk can not touch woman. When I was a boy (just any boy) my sister were not allowed to touch my head(our society is matriarch).
Your video is different to others' I like it a lot because it provided foreigners to know Thai culture and tradition
Intanon Mountain is best interest in Chiangmai. If you have time you should to go.😍
Women are also not allowed in the golden rock... they can walk to the balcony but not into the inner sanctum
The soothing & calming voice from beautiful stacia! We learn all the great history from you guys🤗
Aw thanks Linda!! I love sharing info of things I learn. Hey, I think we will be back in KL for New Years if all goes well. We will have to meet and say hi again at the colorful Batu Caves! ☺️
