      @Jo Montanee สวัสดีค่ะ I also love the message he gave them on following their dream. Anything is possible. I played that video to my 15 year old daughter (She’s Thai born in Canada but understand and can speak Thai and love Thai foods) for its great message to young Thais. She loved it too.

    The Thailand series has been super fun to watch, thank you for showing us around Thailand! So fun to see a RUclips mashup with Chris from Retiredworkingforyou enjoying his Leo beers as well! I have been following his channel a bit to explore some possibilities for condos in case I would like stay for some time in Thailand as a digital nomad and it is really interesting and helpful. So random both of you are in one video 🤣, wish you great fun in your next adventures!

    A few weeks ago I found your channel thanks to Retired Working for You. Excellent cameo from C. Parker LOL. I'm glad your cameo on one of his videos led me here, too. I enjoyed this series. It brought back lots of memories from my trips to Thailand!

  • @theomnetwork3898
    @theomnetwork3898 2 года назад +1

    This whole series reminded me of the several backpacking trips I've done in Thailand, complete with the highs and lows. Felt a lot of nostalgia watching and this last episode feels a lot like the ending of my own trips. Guess I can't be too sad as I'm off to Bali in 2 weeks for a new adventure!

  • @mouse1781
    @mouse1781 2 года назад +1

    I can't believe you're done with this trip! Feels like yesterday we were watching you pack and go to the airport! It has been absolutely lovely following you (once more) on one of your backpacking journeys, especially considering so many of us haven't been able to travel for a couple of years now. It felt pretty good :) Hope the trip to Australia was ok. Looking forward to the next one! (Whenever that is, obviously!)

    @deandecoursey2334 2 года назад +1

    Thanks, Christianne! I’ve been to Thailand many times in the last 25 years but never to the south, with the exception of Phuket. I’d like to see that area more when I retire to Thailand in 4 years but may leave the rock climbing to others. I’m going over September 1 for 2 months in my adopted home of Chiangmai Mai to work on my house and to see old friends that I’ve only been able to Skype for the last 4 years. Looking forward to your epilogue vlogs on Thailand!

    Hi! I did the climb to the lagoon in Railey in 2019 so precovid times. We were the only ones there too but that might have been because it was raining all morning and we went in the late afternoon and it was drizzling so it was very slipery. Luckily, I had trekking boots on. Also, we didn't find the last rope ladder to go down the lagoon itself so after everything we had to go back without seeing it. Now, I know where it is if I ever go back there. Also, I stayed in Tonsai which is next to it and we had to climb over rocks to get to Railay everyday. I have some incredible memories about my time there too!

    • @BackpackingBananas
      @BackpackingBananas  2 года назад +3

      COVID restrictions are fading so quickly it’s honestly not worth making a video on it 😅 the program in place at the time made entering the country a bit more complex than usual but once you were in, it often felt like covid never existed. Apart from wearing masks in indoor spaces. There were some curfews which I think have been lifted now. Touristy spots were less busy than usual so you had a lot more space to yourself 😊

And how did you learn to ride a scooter and would you recommend people riding them in Thailand without experience or a license?

    Great to see Chris from Retired Working From You in there - he's hilarious.Hopefully he tags you on a future video because his following on YT has exploded in numbers
    Question - the east side of the beach you land on in Railey - was it easy enough to walk to the west side from there?
    I went in 2019 and had to wade out of the boat from the west side - next time I go I'd love to use the pier and stay dry
    Cheers dear
