I'm a new subscriber! I absolutely adore your guys videos. As a Thai person who love watching these of videos about thailand. I found that you guys are so respectful, fun and super informative. I found your videos because I wanted to see where to travel to when I go back home from England, and I have no regrets. If I'm being super honest, you guys are one of the best travel vlog out there. Keep it up and cannot wait to join your channel growth and where you go next!
oh wow Thank you! Thanks for subscribing and joining our community. We want to do something for our subscribers that stick through our channel. Haven't figured out what that is yet though.
Thank you for appreciating that little detail. One of our subscribers is from Thailand and actually suggested it. Thought it would be a nice touch for anyone from Thailand that was interested in watching one of our videos.
Absolutely loved your Chiang Mai guide, Detour Duo! 🌟 Your video was spot-on, and I'm excited to explore the places you recommended. I'm currently in Chiang Mai too, so your insights are perfect for my adventure. Thanks for the fantastic tips! If you are around let's meet! Solo Traveler here!
Ah, what impeccable timing! Safe travels to Malaysia and enjoy the South Thailand detour. Hopefully, our paths cross during Songkran - water fights and good times await! 🌏💦@@TheDetourDuo
Howdy! 👋 Thankful for your video!! Wanted to say - THANK YOU 🙏 very much sharing the conservation efforts there & a vegetarian selection as well- plus- the Cooke sanctuaries & how important it is for travelers to not support animal abuse & exploitation. That is SO important to me & I appreciate you taking the time to share that info & for caring! 🎉 I am a néw subscriber. I can not wait to travel to Thailand! ✨🙏✌️ You are an adorable couple!!! 😊
Thank you! And welcome to our community. Yeah we really try to take our time and learn about a place. We aren't exactly eco travelers but we want to be responsible travelers and teach people how to do the same. So we felt this was a message we needed to put out.
I kept saying you know a place is legit when the elephants look happy. I can't explain how I know these elephants were happy. Just an energy, and the way they were playful. One of the oldest elephant kept following us around and she looked like she was posing for photos while the baby she showed came up to me as soon as it heard the camera click. Kinda scared me a bit because I knew it wanted to play but playing with an elephant that doesn't know it's own strength had me backing up lol
Loved seeing the elephants free. I went to an elephant park in Khao Lak. Great reviews but honestly I was so upset at how the elephants were confined and hurt too to get them to movee.
Yeah I think a lot of places know that people are looking for sanctuaries that are ethical so they slap buzzwords on their packaging like no riding but all the while don't change anything else about their practices.
Just found out about your channel loving the content what is the best sim card to get in Thailand I'm there for 2weeks and I'm going to to Chiang mai, Bangkok and Phuket guy's please let me know 😊
Thanks so much! We actually used an E-Sim for our entire time in Thailand through Airalo. If you use code SARA1282, you can get $3 off. We love the convenience of E-Sims because you can have cell service the second you land in the country and top up from anywhere. That being said, getting a physical SIM card at a phone store, 7/11, etc. will definitely be more affordable. Our E-Sim was dtac and it worked great.
You didn't mention the carvings of the ufo spaceships with the aliens with antennas on their heads waving out of the flying saucers😮😊, and the map of the world,all carved on the floor of the Silver temple !😎😃
Thank you for your perspective. But I will say that from a tourism side of things it's maltreatment of an elephant to have hundreds of people a day riding on it's back, especially along cement roads. And that's not even considering how some elephants are trained to be ridable. Great article here explaining what years of tourist rides can do to an elephant edition.cnn.com/travel/article/thailand-elephant-ride-abuse-intl-hnk/index.html
@@TheDetourDuo How about horse riding in western countries? Which be ridden everywhere for a long time or even days, compared to elephants, which are very small. Seeing this makes me feel sorry for a horse too. Very small compared to elephants but have to carry the burden of many people. Riding a goat, riding a donkey, riding a camel... which is much smaller than an elephant. What is your opinion? Personally, I don't encourage people to ride any type of animal. Must give equal importance to all types of animals. Cancel elephant riding, goat riding, donkey riding, camel riding, cow riding, buffalo riding, goose riding.... Cancel all animal riding around the world.
@@TheDetourDuo also massive props for actually showing that you're learning to get used to the bike before a really going to travel, because almost all of foreigner-involved motorcycle accidents comes from unfamiliarity with those small scooters. More important than that is actually getting used to the (absolutely crap) roads in the country.
@@Shokamoka Yeah we've seen other travelers and vloggers say you don't need an international driver's license and you can just rent and go, which is true. But like, why make even more of a gamble with your life especially in a place you're not familiar with?
It was actually really good. We ate a lot of Pad Thai since being here from Bangkok to Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, and I'd put that little spot on the list of top places we've tried so far
I love the video but i dont think it's necessary to lecture about what is ethical and not. Just touching or even riding elephants isnt at all the same as places that directly beat or harm the animals. Thai people throughout hundreds of years in the past, have ridden elephants and even used them in warfare. Just like we use horses. Just as you can be ethical and respectful to an horse when riding it, you can be the same to elephants.
I definitely understand what you're saying, but that's a bit different from having hundreds of guest a day touching, riding and stressing an elephant out. You could literally see the past scars from that on some of these elephants. That's the message we were trying to get across, and I believe it's the same message as the sanctuary as well. We're not saying Thai people shouldn't be riding elephants. We're saying tourists shouldn't be doing these things.

Ah, Chiang Mai... I was much younger when I was there. That was good because it was quite the cardio experience!
Yeah I know what you mean. We done lots of walking around here. Quite a few mountaintop temple hikes

Have fun! It's actually our last day in Chiang Mai we leave today for Malaysia then we're coming back to South Thailand, hopefully for Songkran

@@hamidbinyze1655 Hope so. It should be a lot of fun. Maybe we can do a meet up with our community members for the celebration
You guys are my favorite now. I enjoy watching this while I do my fasted cardio it’s awesome.

🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘I love the longer vlogs
We're still trying to find that sweet spot for video length
Welcome.
🙏🏿
Welcome to Thailand. 🌈
🙏
Looks like good times 🙏
It was!
Love the type of video editing! Do you use final cut pro? Bravo guys! Keep it up! 🥳
Thanks! I use Davinci resolve (studio version). I switched from premiere pro a few years back and never looked back
มากำปองสิเงียบสวยอากาศดี#เฉพาะก่อนปีใหม่😊😊😊
We won't make it there before the new year, but definitely on our list to visit
ผมไม่ได้ไปน้ำตกที่นั่นนานแล้ว เมื่อก่อนถนนทางเข้าไปยังเป็นดินแดงอยู่เลย ในตัวอุทยานก็ยังไม่ได้ราดปูนกับยางมะตอย มีแต่คนท้องถิ่นที่ไปเที่ยวที่นั่น ปีใหม่นี้ผมอาจจะลองไปเที่ยวดูอีกครั้ง
It's cool to see how a place changes over time. Sometimes that is not always good, but the area is still really gorgeous and well maintained
I would love to visit soon but cant ride a motorcycle 😢
You don't need to, but it does add to the fun of the experience if you can
ขอบคุณที่มาเยี่ยมเชียงใหม่ หวังว่ากลับไปคุณจะคิดถึงเชียงใหม่ของเรานะคะ🤩
Thanks for the warm welcome. Yes! We already miss it. It quickly felt like home to us
@@TheDetourDuo I hope you come back again. Chiang Mai always welcomes you.
@@zodiaclighttps9885 Thank you. That's so nice!
❤ ขอให้รักประเทศไทย และมีความสุขกับการมาเที่ยวนะครับ❤
วิดีโอการตัดต่อของคุณดีมากเลย
We do. We love it already!
Thank you. Takes some long hours to get it right 🙏🏿

Thank you!! ❤️🙏
I lived in Chiang Mai for a year. Now in Pattaya but I'm aching to get back home to CM.
Can't blame you. We just left and already kind of miss it
Would love to check out some elephant! Not to ride, just to see ❤
You should! It was really cool. I want to see some roaming in the wild at one of the national parks
I love the attractions you'll are going to.
Yeah there's a lot to see so we've had to pick where we go carefully.
ขอบคุณที่มาบ้านของฉัน 😉😊
Thank you for the welcome 🙏
Nice video! what camera are you using?
I use a few. Mostly Sony a7sIII and osmo action 4
Congratulations wish you happiness 😂❤🎉
Thanks

การขี่ช้างไม่ได้ทำร้ายช้าง ก็เหมือนการขี่ม้า การใช้ลาบรรทุกของ มีงานวิจัยรองรับว่า น้ำหนักบรรทุกไม่ได้เป็นปัญหาสำหรับช้าง ไม่ว่าใครเป็นเจ้าของช้าง ถ้าให้การดูแลที่ไม่ดีก็จะเป็นปัญหากับเจ้าของ ไทยมีกฏหมายคุ้มครองช้าง ถ้าคุณดูแลช้างไม่ดี คุณอาจจะโดนปรับ โดนจำคุก หรือโดนยึดช้าง ผมไม่ได้มีส่วนเกี่ยวข้องใดๆกับธุรกิจที่เกี่ยวกับช้าง แค่อยากให้ข้อมูลอีกด้านหนึ่ง

Hello
8:01 ดูไม่น่าอร่อย55555
It was actually really good. We ate a lot of Pad Thai since being here from Bangkok to Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, and I'd put that little spot on the list of top places we've tried so far
@@TheDetourDuo ดีใจที่คุณชอบค่ะ

Hello
เจ็บก้นกบใช่ใหม 55555555 ผมก็เป็นบ่อยเวลาขับรถมอไซด์ไกลๆ
Yes! We learned we both need to take a break after about an hour. That's when it starts to get uncomfortable
เราเป็นคนไทยแท้ๆยังไม่รู้เลยว่ามีที่เที่ยวที่สวยขนาดนี้😂
😂 We get like that back in our home country too. It's even amazing how much we miss in our own city
