    Always a reminder how different cultures alot space. The aisles through the market are so narrow maybe 3'. In the US you'll have 10' to walk so rarely do you bump into anyone. I found it a real shock in some countries to be jostled constantly in public spaces. Great tour!

    My home in Thailand is very close to the train station, so I ride the train often. Here is a couple of pointers. Learn where the seat numbers are in the car before you get your ticket. Half of the seats point backward so if you would like to see where you are going and not where you have been pick wisely. Also, it is better to sit on the shadyside in the afternoon. lastly, the seats near the side exits have the most leg room and place to put your stuff. One more thing sometimes (this is true on the buses) the seats at the ends can pickup toilet odors. Most the trains have wester toilets now, but in the old days it was a trick to use the squat toilet, hang on, as the train bounced along, and try and relax to do your business.

    Love the mushroom thoughts. “In a fleeting moment, thou must live, die and know.” I’ve used only trains domestically everytime I’ve had the choice in Thailand. It’s always so easy, so affordable and a great way to see the country. Krung Thep apiwat station is a great example of future proofing and foresight, huge station with massive capacity, all ready for the high speed rail.

    Suffering? I’ve gone my 72 years hearing about “suffering”. I have often thought about this as I honestly do not think I have ever suffered in my life. (Perhaps the loss of pets - these times hit hard). But I have had death/divorce/jobless - all the normal things for a 72 year old. But never did I ever “suffer” - I suppose my brain chemistry somehow had me view traumatic events as a gift of an opening to completely different and “better” possibilities (which in fact was always the case).

      It’s not so much recognizing it in oneself but in others, the child dying of leukemia or being abused in a war zone is suffering. I also rarely suffer unless someone close to me is in trouble, but then again I have lived a rather blessed life. 👍

    Ryan, when you were in the new Railway Station, you mentioned that Damo guided you, otherwise you would have incorrectly gone to the lower level. Did Damo guide you by means of a map of the station or something like that? You mentioned her being familiar with everywhere in Bangkok.
    The New Railway Station has been open less than two years. I was in Thailand in October/November 2022 and I travelled by train from Nakhon Sawan to Bangkok. At that time, trains were still using the old Station, Bang Sue I think it was called, which I've heard has now been converted to a Railway Museum. I travelled 3rd class (because like yourself, I'm often a Cheap Charlie 🤣). Worst train trip I've ever done, not that I've done a train trip longer than an hour. It was so rough, the whole of the overnight trip (about 9 hours) the train rocked so much I feared it would come off the tracks. Also, though the outdoor temperature would have been about 26-28C, with a few carriage windows being open, me wearing only T-shirt and shorts, I was almost shivering throughout the night. As a polite, respectful foreigner, I didn't want to risk upsetting the Thai people in the carriage by closing any windows.
    I decided not to comment on the previous vlog, but maybe you should try to buy back 'Betty Blue'... Much better suited to the environment you live in than the tiny Mazda 😜

As you have lived in Buriram for about 3 years now and I hadn't heard mention in your vlogs on either channel, that either of you had been back into Bangkok in that time, I wondered if Damo had first hand experience of using the new Railway Station to be able to guide you. In the video, you seemed to be under the impression that it had been open for a 'few' years, where it's only less than two.

    1st. How many days should you stay in Chiang Mai? There are so many activities to do and sights in and around Chiang Mai, that it's impossible to do everything in three days. I would recommend staying at least 4-5 days, and possibly more if you have the time.
    2nd. How many days are there in Chiang Mai and Bangkok? Travelers to Thailand typically plan a trip for nine to 12 days when combining both Bangkok and Chiang Mai with Phuket. If you're not interested in Phuket, seven to nine days is enough for your Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Chiang Rai trip.
    3rd. Should you spend more time in Bangkok or Chiang Mai? While some of friends not mine recommended only staying a few days in Bangkok, we prefer to explore the city. However, we recommend spending no more than 3 days in Bangkok, as the city can be overwhelming. On the other hand, Chiang Mai is a great place to stay for extended periods.
    4th. What is the best worst month to visit Thailand? The rainy or 'monsoon' season in Thailand occurs between July and October. The rains in the first few months are heavy but inconsistent (lasting just a few hours), whereas towards the end they become more persistent. The best time to visit is during the hot season, which lasts from March to June.
    5th. When not to visit Chiang Mai? These fires cause a lot of smoke and dust making the air quality so poor and visibility of mountain views reduced by haze, which probably make March and April the worst months to visit Chiang Mai.
    6th. Does Chiang Mai get cold at night? In contrast, Chiang Mai, nestled in the mountainous northern region, has a more temperate climate. Its cool season (November to February) offers comfortable temperatures around 28°C (82°F), dropping to as low as 10°C (50°F) at night.
    7th. What is the coldest month in Chiang Mai? Average Temperature in Chiang Mai as The cool season lasts for 2.3 months, from November 17 to January 25, with an average daily high temperature below 86°F. The coldest month of the year in Chiang Mai is January, with an average low of 59°F and high of 85°F.
    8th. Why is Chiang Mai famous ... is known for its rich cultural heritage, ancient temples, stunning natural beauty, delicious cuisine, bustling night markets, and traditional handicrafts including Chiang Mai is known for its vibrant festivals, and the Yee Peng and Loy Krathong Festivals stand out as spectacular events illuminating the city's skies and waterways … And that's all by the updating information about Chiang Mai. If you need to understand more updating information about Chiang Mai, you may type "Global Travel Mate" Channel as you may go to @globaltravelmate to understanding more about as long years, his a tourist but his job is by informing the new updating building in Bangkok. So type, click his channel and if you did installed Instagram app it's more better for you to know more and more about it.

    Love the video but I'm afraid Thailand's new railway station is the most uninspiring, depressing, miserable, bleak, bland, boring piece of architecture that I have ever seen. It's like some kind of regressive , communist monolith. They could have at least put in a few communist style mosaics to brighten it up. Just imagine having to start your holiday there. You are depressed before you have even started the journey!
