Would You PROPOSE Here?? The Magical “Red Lotus Sea” - Dreamland in Udon Thani, Thailand
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Peaceful almost beyond belief, the ‘Red Lotus Sea’ in Udon Thani, Thailand has been said to be among the Top 10 Most Beautiful Natural Sights in the world.
I had to catch my own breathe for a moment, the appearance of an endless sea of gorgeous lotus hovering just above the water, stretching to the horizon in every direction, it was truly mesmerizing. I actually couldn’t speak!
Li and I enjoyed our time here very much, I’m still SO happy that we were able to visit! Udon Thani is next to Khon Kaen, but as you have to visit early in the morning, in only the cool season of Thailand (not a very large window of time), I just had never made the effort to get here to see this until now!
You have 2 choices - stay on the lake and wake up at dawn (only 1 hotel, and it costs about 40$ a night), or stay in town, rent a car, and wake up well before dawn and drive 40km to the lake. The boat drivers start at 630am, and you’re gonna want to be at the front of the line, the lotus are only open in the cool morning air - it really is something so magical, something you have to do while you’re here!!
LOCATION:
Red Lotus Sea (ทะเลบัวแดง)
Kumphawapi, Udon Thani, Thailand.
Thank you Joel for sharing your beautiful soul with the world! You are so humble, genuine and kind! I wish all the best for you and your family.
🌸🌸🌸Beautiful flowers just like Li and you, Joel, are meant to be together forever🌸🌸🌸

Hi Joel,
Lori from Beaverton Oregon USA
Wow ! I am blown away. One of the most beautiful places in the world. I wish I could be where you are. Thank you so much,I never knew this place existed.
Unbelievable how big some of the blooms are.
Definitely, who wouldn't love a proposal there. It would be a glorious memory.
You guys did an amazing job making this video
Thank you so much for all your videos I have never missed one and look everyday for the latest one
Never stop
G-D bless you both in your travels and may you both stay healthy and happy.
Lots of love
Lor
Hi Joel that’s really amazing so beautiful what nature can do so nice to look at💓Merry Christmas nHappy blessed year to come God Bless you always 🙏Cheers👍
Hi Joel & Li ... I hope you had a Joyful & Blessed Christmas. I just returned from 6p Sunday Mass & was excited to see your new video. Comments follow: From the video title, "Would You PROPOSE Here??", I was wondering if you were going to PROPOSE to Li ... guess I will find out as the vid runs ;) I can see why you got emotional when seeing the beautiful, pink lotus blossoms - certainly like no other place on Earth. These aren't your average lily pads! the close-up still photography is amazing - you have some great gear & know how to use it! The Iguana finish was a keeper, especially the back rub LOL. Peace be with you both!
ABSOLUTELY!!!!! 😍😍😍 BEAUTIFUL.. I HAVE GOT TO VISIT THAILAND.. BTW JOEL PROPOSE TO LI!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️ YOU GUYS ARE A BEAUTIFUL COUPLE WISHING YOU DECADES AND DECADES OF ADVENTURES TOGETHER.
Wow, Nicole!!!! LOVE the energy in your comments and love the words as well :). We will get married in a few months time, thanks for the well wishes in advance
You didn't propose??? The scenery and the Red lotus's were perfect backdrops for you Joel. LOL I was getting too excited :D All the best to you and Li xx
I was so excited too. And then a little disapointed. Only a sentence about proposal. But I guess it was a hint. We will have to wait... If they film that, it will probably be an amazing thing to see if they publish it 😁
Happy holidays!
I thought the same thing. I thought for sure that is what was going to happen. XO ps ( propose to her and I will not be mad at you) XO!
Proposal is done and to be viewed in another vlog. LoL
hahah Tina!!! Well thank you :). have a great day!!
Such a beautiful location, serene, majestic, a time to reflect and appreciate life. Thank you both for the video, take care :)
Right on Brett!!! Good words today, for sure man, great place to reflect and that which is important.
Hello Joel and Li. Definitely a beautiful place to propose. 🌸❤ Thank you for sharing a new culinary adventure. Merry Christmas🎄⭐🎉, blessings🙏 and hugs from Puerto Rico!🇵🇷
I'm confused did you propose or not, and did she say yes?!?!?
ohhh Just saw this Joel!!!! She's the One?? Right On!!!
Hiiii Barb :). Yes indeed. I am blessed.
Greetings from snowy Norway!
Have you proposed to Li already, or maybe we all can expect a lovely upload from new years eve? Or even better a livestream 😁
Anyway, I hope the two of you continue to love each other, keep on travelling and explore as much as possible, publishing your warm videos along the way!
Happy holidays!
-Heidi-
Where I live in Norway, it's certainly snowing right now ❄
Oh, I did not get that. Happy new year!
Awesome video and such a surreal view of the lotus!! Thanks Joel and Li!! Stay Blessed
Poor Joel can't find a single private moment in the trip to make his proposal 😂😂😂
With all the gorgeous places in Thailand how the heck can you pick one?!?!?!
Dang! Craig, very cool comment, wow, yeah Im with you man....
What a stunning place to visit. That's another thing added to my bucket list
Udon Thani near our house😊Hello friend
Ah no way! Phu Thai Dam! Beautiful area, this part of Thailand has so many things to explore....
Stunning place ....do to what you want.. everything on time...no stress. ;-)
Hi Joel,
Hopefully you and Li are doing well?!
It doesn’t matter where you propose because you’re heart and love is what makes it special!
Disclaimer: Because some people will mention ridiculous places to propose, you certainly want to honor your relationship and propose in a place that you’ll both remember, not implying that’s what you’ll be doing here but certainly appreciate your videos! We live/journey through your lens!
Great video Joel. It is a very very beautiful area. But the view would have been better if, as Beyoncé’ sang it, Put a ring on Li’s finger. She is a very special person.
Absolutely loved the live stream, it was breathtaking. Thank you again. Definitely a proposal spot, nature at it's best. So meaningful.
Tease! Did you or not ???? Wonderful choice if you did🥰
Incredibly beautiful video. I've never seen a sea or lake like that. Simply stunning. You and li looked so happy there. Stay safe out there till next time
Glad you enjoyed it Andrew, and man thank you so much for writing, I always enjoy the message (and you always write optimistic and positive ones!!! thank you)
I'm single 😥😥😥😥😥
When I see beauty like this, my tears are always running over my cheeks!!! I feel so close to God at these moments!!! And of course I would propose to my sweetheart in this beautiful scenery!!! Do it!!! This is the place to finally become "ONE"!
OMG THAT MADE ME TEARY EYED!!! I have never see a Lotus flower before!🥰🥰🥰 And that would be the most romantic place to propose!!🥰🥰🥰
Beautful sea of lotuses.
Bucketlist pilling up thanks to you hahaha
This has to be the most beautiful place you’ve taken us to Joel!! Awesome! Yes! You should have proposed to her right there in the midst of the pink vision!!! 💖💖💖
Wow, FLorence!!! Thats quite a cool comment, hey I guess youre probably right (I did some thinking just now tho, and for me the descent down from the LiSu village, an older video from a bike trip with Peter, I was crying so much from the beauty that it was actually dangerous to ride the bike and I had to stop)
@@JoelsTastyRide
Then Joel, you need to take her for a drive to LiSu❣️😍👍❤️
What an amazing place 🥰 absolutely love it
Hello beautiful gorgeous couple
Joel, Li is exactly 19 steps ahead of you ha ha
“It is through the power of observation, the gifts of eye and ear, of tongue and nose and finger, that a place first rises up in our mind; afterward it is memory that carries the place…” - Barry Lopez
This was simply stunning Joel! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!
Wow that's so beautiful. Love to see it some day. Awsome video Thanks Joel
Glad you enjoyed it Deu, hope youre having a great day :). Much love!
There's nothing more beautiful than God's creation, right Joel?
This is a perfect place to propose! Awesome video as usual
There is so much beauty in Thailand - in the land and in the wonderful people.
Right on Daryl! Yes, so much more than just the natural beauty (although there is a LOT of that to be found!!)
@@JoelsTastyRide You're right. If you didn't explore and showing red lotus sea in this video most people or tourists still do not know it exists in Thailand.
So magical! I believe this is where you're going to propose in the future. I'd love to get married here again lol

OMG! This is EPIC! What a beautiful place. I was in Udon Thani 30 years ago and didn't know about the magical Red Lotus Sea:( Thank you for sharing Joel and Li! So did you propose to Li? kekekekekeke
This reminds me when I was younger at my grandmother in Ayutthaya we would travel by puddles both to the temple, and just like in your VDO lotus is all around every where,I use to pick them up and took them back home with me . Watching your VDO it took me back in time

Looked amazing. Yet another place to add to my bucket list in Thailand. To get around it all may have to move there. So much to see.
Please do! Alan, do send me a message as well, would love to be of help.
@@JoelsTastyRide Joel many thanks. I will be in touch. Looking at current situation maybe some time off when I visit but I'll be sure to keep in touch. I have also added you on Facebook
Wow! Big green Iguanas, bright blue chickens, gorgeous pink lotus flowers....I was feeling really sad and gloomy today but this video certainly did cheer me up! Thanks Joel ☺️ Oh and of course you should propose to beautiful Li on that picturesque lake of lotuses .. if you haven't already 😁
We're seeing this because of you both, so beautiful took my breath away! Thank you love you guys.
Such a serene beauty.. it reminds me of the peace of mind i lost.. hehe.
Hoping you could soon grab a drone so you could do more with you videos
Bro Joel, nice Video! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to YOU!
We love you and Li Joel
Breathtakingly beautiful! I can see how it would tear you up. So lovely to see you express the feeling so honestly with us. Lots if love and best wishes for 2021! 💕
GOD BLESS US ALL! May God Bless you and your family and happy holidays! I wanted to stop at Balboa Park in San Diego today to breathe in nature but I drove by and just seeing this makes up for it 💯💥. We all appreciate what you bring forth because it's something most of us won't experience so thank you and I'm truly happy for you 🙏🏼
You really are living bro, congratulations on the engagement
What a beautiful sight to behold!!!
Oh no! Not clickbait from you Joel! But beautiful scenery.
Thank u for sharing! It's beautiful Just by watching it through my phone screen. I can only imagine being there in person! Must be magical af!😱
EGanja hi! You are right it was crazy cool be in there in real life, how big is your phone screen? Can you hold it up super close to your face :-)? No no, just may be plan the chance for you to visit someday, I hope you can!
@@JoelsTastyRide Hi Joel! I have a Galaxy S8 so the screen wasn't as big, but I can also watch your RUclips channel through my T.V which is much bigger and maybe makes me feel like I'm there in person,lol. Showing love and support from San Diego Ca. Happy Holidays and New Years to u and ur soulmate. You guys have a bless one 🙏🙏🙏
Wow Beautiful Joel.. so Amazing.. Love this and Love You guys.. GOD bless You both Always
Beauty never tires the eye. Thank you for this, Joel and Li! Much love and big hugs. 💖🙏

Thanks so much Adora, great to have you here, have you back, hope you have been well
OYEAH 👍👍
This is gorgeous! So are you and Li.... you two are an adorable couple with so much love between you that shines like the beauty of the lotus. Did you PROPOSE?? Love your channel!
เพลงเปิดคลิป อย่างมันส์ ม่วนคักๆ 😂
Nice one!!! Yeah, actually its a free song from RUclips, some of them really are great songs!
Another wonderful vlog!
Thanks again Michael, I am trying to improve in all areas - VERY nice to have your support!!!
Joel, I love ya Brother (and Li too) but you better hurry up and marry her because the Lord Jesus has given her to you for a big reason. Quit waiting. None of us are promised tomorrow!!! Quit being hesitant!!!!
Hi Jason :-) life is short, each day is very important, I am blessed to have everything I need right now you are right, the Lord has given me much, definitely including Li :-) hurrying up to get married is not what I want to do, but also I realize I already have the extreme benefit of being “locked down” right now with the person that I love, what else could I ask for
Hi Joel of course certainly you can propose her here this is the most romantic place you did yes??? i never see any place beautiful like this before happy new year enjoy it all the best to you have fun brother.
wow the Red Lotus Sea is beautiful ... did not know you can eat them ...something new i learned ...thanks for the vid Joel and Li ...many blessings
Bullit!! Yo yo, Oh for sure one of my favorite things was always the fact that they are so useful for eating :-) but yet they are beautiful of course, very happy to teach, always makes my day to read something like this - thank you for taking the time to tell me about your own learning
Joel... this is the best thing I will watch today. The sea of Red Lotus are really so beautiful!! The lotus flower is one of my favourites and to see so very many of them at one time just took my breath away too.
Dang Andrew that is awesome I wish you the chance to visit this place for yourself someday. Even for just your average flower lover like myself this was literally breathtaking, so for you, oh yes you definitely would be having the time of your life
Perfect place for proposals, no one will say no :) nice video :)
Thanks! 😃Prasart, haha I guess I should remember that, remember my own recommendation :)
Never seen anything like it. Thank You for taking us along.
Yes 👍, indeed a perfect place to propose. Very romantic. ❤❤
WOW DUDE!!!!! that was SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! thank you for sharing that beautiful place bro, awesome stuff!!! love to you and Li and stay safe..... JP x ( oh and in English the birds are called a purple swamp hen 😉👍)
I love your videos! Keep doing what your doing!
I want to go to Thailand so bad. I grew up in Borneo and now living in Seattle.I have been watching Mark and now you....😆
This scene is so beautiful." I always pray: " Thank you God for this world, the people in this world, and the beauty that you give us in this world". Thank you Joel and Li
Hope youre having a great day Christine, thanks so much for the BEAUTIFUL blessing :). Much love!
Awesome Joel! Melanie again from South Dakota! Love watching your videos!
Hey Joel, awesome video yet again. As someone who studied and worked in horticulture, seeing the lotus flowers blew my pip, and I can honestly say that you were not the only one to get a tear in the eye.
So beautiful!! Thank you for sharing!
Beauty in the mud....
That is a pretty cool statement actually, I like it :-)
By the title of the video i waa almost semi hoping you would propose to Li in this video. Such a beautiful place though :).
I hope you proposed and we will see that on the next video because if you didn't you should have. I kept waiting for you to do it...... was this just a tease?!
Hi Betsy that is a cute message, I am not teasing anyone, well actually I would only be teasing Li with a video like this… no, We agreed to get married several months ago, this is just a beautiful place to visit :-) regardless of engagement ha ha
@@JoelsTastyRide I am happy to know this and happy for both of you.
since being a boating lover, I can watch this video hundred times a day ❤️
Thats awesome Ayan! I need to learn from you (haha, can you see how up and down the camera is :) ???). Have a great day today, thanks for writing!
Li is absolutely right. Great place for someone to propose... Joel is such an idiot but he is Li's idiot. Come on Joel! lol
HAHAHHA Garald!!! I might be an idiot but I am also the one who made this video :-) so clearly I agree with her ha ha
@@JoelsTastyRide Joel... don't leave your fans and followers in suspense... do it already and take us along for the ride! You two make an awesome couple and there is no way she will say no! Thanks for the smiles, son. We will be watching!
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience
Beautiful spot to propose!!! how exciting !!!😊😊😊
A wonderful day Margaret, thanks again for always taking the time to send us comments :-) much love
I had no idea a place like this excited in the world! Wowoooooooo
This was awesome!
