    With every video i grow even more mesmerized by your ability to showcase parts of the world that are beautiful in some eyes and terrifying to others but manage to make them none the less magical! I hope you can continue to travel the world and show off places others may never have the chance to see. Thank you for taking your time to share your adventures with the rest of us.

    You can tell how much time and effort you put into these videos, Chris and it really pays off. Not just for us as an audience, but for future Half-Asleep Chris who will look back on them all in 10, 20, 30 years time. They're such great time capsules. Looking forward to more in the series!

    As a Thai citizen, we thank you for visiting our country! It is always nice to see foreigners enjoying our country even with all the negative things within it. Also, much love to your vids!
    P.S Yeah... Thai traffic sucks. It is fortunate that you rode on the tuk tuk instead of the motorcycle taxis, they are the worst.

    • @HalfAsleepChris
      @HalfAsleepChris  5 лет назад +1

      Thanks a lot - it's an amazing country. We took maybe 10 tuk tuks during our visit, and most were fairly safe except for this one. The guy would even go down the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic and move out the way at the last minute, was crazy.
