so glad you finally made it glad to see you are already enjoying bangok so much to see and do. I am excited to follow your adventures as I am coming back in March after bout 25 years so am glad to follow whats happening now as for your question where to settle down for a bit Koh Samui hands down you will love it
I want you to go to Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, there is a beach, but if you like history, you must go, Ayutthaya, Kanchanaburi.😉😚🙂🙂🙂All of the above can be reached in less than 2 hours by plane or car.
And Untouched Culture! The perfect blend of modernity and the past! Unlimited Intricate Temples new and old! Rooftop bars to Street food to River dining! Bangkok has the most variety of public transportation from variety of boats, skytrain, subway, taxi, grab/Uber, motorcycles, Tuk tuks, busses and soon monorail!
As a Thai living in Bangkok may be I think Bangkok can provide everything you need from five-star hotel to >10$ room, from the world newest innovation to something locally made. You can really find everything. Some movies are also available before US and you know you may surprise the quality of our theatre here in some departmen stores such as Icon Siam, Emquartier and at this moment there are so many concerts from many artists around the world. I have been to concerts every week since the last month ( Last night "Joji" was crazy good) so I would say Bkk is so convenient and comfortable to live. However, if you would like to live slowly, you can go to Chiang Mai for Ca'fes and camping (the best season to do this activity because on the mountain it s starting to get cold and the nature is amazing there with sea fog.) In the south, I prefer "Krabi" than "Phuket" because I think Islands and beaches in Krabi are more fascinated. It also got 'Onsen" from a forest waterfall (I cant remember the name). So if I got 45 days in Thailand, I would spend first week in the north to relax and adapt my timezone then go to the south for 2 weeks then go back to Bkk for a week or two to finish the trip. P.S. I dont mention about the food because eating here in Thailand is always the best everywhere. you can find various kinds of foods around the world in our country. just google it.
Thailand is bucket list for me. If I had 45 days, I would be spending 1 week in Bangkok, and the rest of the time split between the Phuket and Chiang Mai areas. I have a feeling you guys will do something similar. Come on - you know you guys can't stay away from the beach. 😁😁😁😁😁😁 Going to be a great series. - Coreen
Thailand is my favourite country, people there was amazing so kind and willing to help you in everything. One day I've asked some stranger girl group on BTS for the directions to the hostel, they bring me there even that station was not their destination so impressed by these lovely people
Retired expat from the US living in Tland for 4 1/2 years. We alternate between Phuket and Trang. Plenty of travel. Every day awesome!! Will never leave!!
I'm a Bangkokian. Sukhumvit is one of top locations in the city and I found it a little bit too overwhelming to live. I live in the area called Ari. It's less busy but filled with a lot of good restaurants and cafes. Take a BTS and come to explore :) I wish you pleasant stay in Thailand. 😍
Having lived in Thailand for 45 days at a Time- I prefer to use Bangkok as my Base and rent a serviced apt near the skytrain ( and access to airport) and then travel to Chiang Mai, Phuket, Ko Samui, and other parts of Thailand for 3 or 4 days- ( even some train trips to Hua Hin and Pattaya)- then when my 45 days are up- I fly to Singapore for a week- return to Bangkok and renew my tourist visa for another extended stay- Enjoy my favorite country
Wow Bangkok is not what I expected! I was expecting it to be dirtier like New York considering the population. But it looks clean and neat. Even the traffic didn't look bad. A lot of cars but pretty calm and organized compared to where I'm at in Texas. How cool, can't wait to go someday.
It's amazing how clean Bangkok is. The bathrooms are spotless and little to no graffiti. I'm almost embarrassed to come back to a big US airport. Dirty, unfriendly, dreary, not to mention ridiculously expensive. Not what tourists should be seeing when they enter a country
I'm a Bangkokian so I would love to see you guys explore my city and then if you guys starting to get bored of the city vibes then let go to explore another places in Thailand. Lol
You guys have finally made it to my favorite destination!! I love your vlogs in other countries, but I don't think I have been this excited for a series from you guys. Make sure to check out the Chatuchak weekend market in Bangkok. It is massive and has everything under the sun there. Also, my favorite place on earth are the islands Koh Similan and Koh Surin in the Andaman Sea. Absolute paradise. I hope you guys check them out. Right now is the best season! 👌
Don’t take things seriously! wherever you choose to stay here in Thailand, there is only one hour flying out and in Bangkok,with almost every hour flights schedule daily. Hope you two enjoy my home country 🎄
The first inscribed Thai word on the stone tablet "ปทุมชาติ" (Pa-tum-chart) is one of a common variety of lotus plant in Thailand. It is known in English as Nelumbo nucifera.

ยินดีต้อนรับสู่เมืองไทยค่ะ ดีใจมากๆที่พวกคุณเปิดใจมาเที่ยวเมืองไทย เมืองไทยยังมีที่เที่ยวอีกเยอะมากๆให้คุณทั้ง2คนได้ไปสัมผัส แต่ก็ต้องระมัดระวังตัวจากพวกมิจฉาชีพด้วยนะคะ ไม่ว่าจะไปที่ไหน ต่อให้ที่สถานที่สวยแค่ไหน ก็มีอันตรายเยอะเหมือนกัน ขอให้เที่ยวให้สนุกนะคะ Have fun and enjoy your trip 🤗
Hello Anna and Trevor, I am happy to see that you are in Thailand! My boyfriend and I loved the Krabi area.. We also like beaches and don't like crowded places and stayed at Tub Kaek sunset Beach Resort. The beach was very beautiful. It was actually the first scene on the Hangover 2 movie. You can go on a day trip to Railey beach, which is very beautiful. You can also go on a day trip to Hong Island. We then went to Koh phi phi Don, which is also very beautiful. The Koh phi phi Village resort was wonderful and was in a uncrowded place on Koh phi phi Don. You can take a day trip by boat to Koh Phi Phi Lei to see the famous Maya Bay. If you have more time you can go to Koh Sok National Park. It is very beautiful! You can stay at the Elephant tent camp and the floating tent camp. Enjoy your wonderful trip in Thailand!!
Welcome to Thailand. I'm Thai. and I think on 18.58 First line it said "Patumchart" which means "Lotus Flower", "Sculpture", "The symbol of Benjakitti Garden", "Part 1", Next one was"Built on the year 2004 ". Hope you guys have an amazing day here in Thailand.
we usually put Kub (for male) and Ka (for female) after sentence to make it more polite. for example when you say thank you - you say Kob-Kun-Kub or Kob-Kun-Ka, instead of Kob-Kun alone. Try to put Kub and Ka after every sentence. it's polite and practical(saying without Kub and Ka to stranger is may considered rude) and make you sound more lovely , trust me ! 😊 Basic Thai word you may need to know: Thank you = Kob kun kub/ka Hello = sa wad dee kub/ka Very delicious = Aroi mak How much = Tao rai ask for less sweet = Wan noi (you may find that drinks in Thailand is often very very very and too sweet) Spicy = Phed less = noi, more = mak, no = Mai so less spicy = Phed noi, more spicy = Phed mak, no spicy = Mai phed
You may have figured this out by now (since I know the videos are a few weeks delayed), but if you are going to try your hand at speaking Thai, end your sentence with "Krap" (if you are male) or "Ka" (for females). It is customary and considered polite! Other tips would be: 1) Try Singha Beer instead of Chang for a change (I prefer Singha); 2) If you are not there yet, go to Krabi Province and Khao Sok National Park; You will absolutely not regret it. Both are magical! Love seeing your content and seeing you guys in Thailand! I'm already looking forward to the next video :)
you get 45 days and you can go to immigration and get another 30 day extension. Then you can hop to another country and come back and do that again 2 times (visa likely reverts back to 30 days with 30 day extension in March.) also, IMO, get out of Bangkok as soon as you can. unless you like big cities there are much more interesting more authentic Thai places ... if you like beaches (and will actually use them) then head south ... if you like nature, them head North (Chiang Mai, where I'm living is one of the digital nomad capitals of the world) either way, flights are cheap and an hour or two flight will get you from top to bottom.
It is called Pathumchart, a sculpture piece that depicts lotus flower. Pathum = lotus, chart = nation, roughly lotus species. BTW, Benjakitti park is adjacent to Lumpini Park, the first public park in Thailand built by King Rama VI to emulate Hyde Park. The king when as a young prince was sent to a boarding school in England. There is a green skywalk that links two parks together. Benjakitti Park and its new extension (forest park) area used to be Tobacco Monopoly of Thailand's factory in the old days. The factory was relocated to faraway province for a decade now. Thai words: Sawatdi is used for greeting at any time of day, Khob Khun = thanks, La Korn = good bye, Mai Pen Rai = It's OK. Aroiy = delicious. The cheapest iced freshly brewed coffee is 35-40 baht for a takeaway but if you buy in cafeteria of public hospital/university, there is simple bench/table for you to sit on. In my housing village, the price was 35 baht for 10 years but it was increased to 40 baht last month! Coffee menu is latte, capuchino, americano, espresso, mocca, all 40 baht. For iced tea such as green tea, ceylon tea, Thai tea, lime tea, iced Milo, it is still 30 baht for the last 10 years!
Welcome to Thailand On every trip in Thailand, I wish you both happiness, full of laughter, good food, pleasant encounters with kind Thai people and always safe in Thailand. from Thai people who always welcome you to visit our Thailand
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAILAND! I went in Jan2020. Spent 3days in each-Visited Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai. Packed so much in and decided that a 2nd visit is much needed. There are 3 YT'ers I follow that live in Thailand full-time...notime2bsad, thai girl gift & foreigner joe, journeys with Mike and Niccole (just moved there this year). Next trip I plan to (1) stay longer, (2) take the train and (3) pick other places to visit. Pattaya-Kanchanaburi-Jomtiem-Prachuap Khiri Khan for starters! Love Bangkok but I love busy cities; Phuket was okay, did the island hop day tour, and Chiang Mai was great. Definitely get a foot and thai massage... daily. Your body will love you after you've spent all day walking! Much love to you. I look forward to the series...may give me some more ideas of other locations to add to my growing list!
We are in Chiang Mai now! FYI, it's 45 days in plus you can pay 1900 Baht (without leaving Thailand) at immigration to extend another 30 days! We are doing 45+30, bouncing out/in, then another 45+30. We might see you down south in January.
@@DelightfulTravellers It's good but like you guys, we miss the beach! It's cheaper up here and the mountains are beautiful, but it's still a big city (#2 in Thailand).
The message in front of the gold statue just informs that its name is Pa toom chart which I am not sure its meaning but it should be something like the birth of lotus. And it also tells that this architecture built as the first part of the park's symbol and it was built in 18years ago. P.S. the google translate provided you with weird Thai word for Hello - Sa wad dee kub/ka (for men and ka for women), Thank you - korb koon kub/ka and good bye - we say " Pai gorn na kub/ka or "Bye"
Definitely visit Talad Noi near the Chao Phraya. Outside of Bangkok I would recommend Khao Yai, Ayutthaya, Kanchanaburi (Sai Yok Noi Waterfall), Koh Kood, Koh Samui, Phuket, Petchabun / Sukhothai, Koh Phi Phi, Railay, Similan Islands, Krabi
Welcome to Thailand folks! You guys are precious! I love how you find the joy in the little things 💛 loved the positive energy and realism. Have a wonderful trip. Stay safe
It was kind of a shock moving here from Switzerland which is smaller than the city of Bangkok. Btw i live in on nut which is outside of the expensive part but still close to everything thanks to living 20 meters from the BTS
Lol, this is the cool season. Lots to do and see here in Thailand. Come on down to Pattaya only a couple of hours drive from Bangkok. Also Phuket. You will love these places
Sawasdee krub , welcome to Bangkok , I hope you enjoy your trip in Bangkok. and provinces in Thailand that are unique And the beauty that is different , you have a safe journey...krub ✌✌✌✌
Thailand! Cool! I know nothing about this place so I’m looking forward to this series! City looks pretty clean despite busy. I’m interested to see the rest of the country and the food! Safe travels as always y’all!
My husband and I just got back to canada from a three week vacation in Thailand. We walked through that park and stayed close to Terminal 21, some great, inexpensive Thai food in that mall.
True! Please go to the Sunrise Tacos, a Mexican Restaurant on the 4th floor at Terminal 21. They have the most delicious Mexican food which surprised us! Also, try "Cafe Amazon" coffee shop at the lower level. You need a bigger cup because they don't fill it up all the way, but really good coffee/ latte. Many restaurants have other branches around town but there's a difference in consistency. Please tey these locations! If you are feeling like eating healthy, try "Get Fresh", amazing loaded salads and other fresh delicious food. We've been to almost all locations in town, and our favorite one was the Mercury Ville location. Please enjoy! 😉
Hi Anna and Trevor, Sitting here with a massive smile on my face watching this great vid from you both! So excited that you have made it to The Land of Smiles, you're going to absolutely love it. I've just returned from a 1 month's trip to the Kingdom. Bangkok is my fave Sth East Asian city. It has so much to offer (food, coffee, culture, sights, etc) If you haven't already been told females finish their sentences with Ka (Sawasdee Ka) and males with Khup (Sawasdee Khup) Also not sure if you know that the 45-day visa exemption can be extended for another 30 days. You're gonna need the time if you want to dive deep into the country. I'd highly recommend heading down south to the islands as they are stunning (Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao) also there's a small island called Samet which is amazing and only a couple of hour's drive from Bkk past Pattaya. Krabi, Phuket, and Phi Phi are also fantastic. I'm looking forward to seeing where you end up traveling to :)
Thanks Paul! We're just hearing about that extension now so that's great to know. It sounds like it's going to be impossible to go to all these places 😀 So much to choose from! - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers Hey Trevor, just enjoy wherever you guys get to. Thailand is such a massive place and you never can do it in 1 trip. Get Anna to throw a dart at a map of the south and head to wherever it lands :)
Thank you to visit Thailand, hope you will have wonderful time here... We have a lot of places to visit and now it's really good time to visit Thailand!
We recently lived in Bangkok. Coming back in February, and can not wait. After spending several months there and going back. It comes down to distance to groceries (eating out is cheap, but we do like to cook here and there) and distance BTS/MRT by foot.
Hey Guys, awesome that you made it to Thailand. I would recommend Phuket (Karon beach/Kata beach/Nai Harn beach) and also Koh Samui island. BKK is amazing city, stay in Sukhumvik area or Thong Lor. Use Skytrain to travel around. Enjoy! Might run into you guys as I'm in Thailand too:) Cheers
@@DelightfulTravellers Hey Trevor & Anna, another good tip to know about Thai language. Only men use "Kup" (cup) after most words, and women use "Ka" after most words. Not sure if you know about this but it's helpful to know. So Trevor just say "Kup" all the time! lol
Most cities in Thailand are easy to live depending on what kind of activities you enjoy. Bangkok definitely is most vibrant as there's everything for everyone at every kind of budget. Chaingmai is charming smaller city and has everything you need as well except beaches but it has mountains. During March April it's smokey season and very 🥵. Phuket is touristy and expensive but nice beaches.
So awesome that you’re both in Thailand 😍 I haven’t been there even though I’m close by in Australia. Bangkok and kho Samui are supposed to be amazing. Take care travelling guys 😊
Spent 2 months in BKK, stayed at Ascott Thonglor, a brand new hotel... so clean and a very convenient location. Also cheaper price if you book on their website. I dream of going back every day!
We stayed at Marriott properties in Khao Lak, two different ones in Phuket, we stayed in Oa Nang, did day trips to several islands in the area and finally Bangkok before we flew back to Canada yesterday. If we had more time we wouldn’t went to the north and Khao Samui.
Welcome to Thailand. I live in Aree area where I think is very nice and lot of expats choose live here too. You can find good food, good coffee in every price range. Quite close to everything you need, sky train, hospital, super market, massage places etc. and just 20 mins by BTS to Siam. Hope you enjoy living here.
Hi Anna & Trevor-That's great that you made it to Thailand! We're also in Bangkok for the month. We'll have to keep our eyes open for you guys out walking around and enjoying the sites :)
@@DelightfulTravellers It is huge! We were here a few years ago, and it was definitely culture shock for us. Even though we kind of knew what to expect, just the heat and humidity alone were quite a jolt lol. We absolutely love it here :)
like peace living in Chiang Mai like the comfort live in Bangkok Love the rural way of life in the Northeast Love the sea and many foreigners live in Phuket or Pattaya and Koh Samui. Have fun in Thailand
You can go to Immigration and extend that 45 days for another 30. Will cost 1900 baht. Will give you a total of 75 days. If you like chill, laid back and great Coffee, go to Chiang Mai. Traffic is not so bad, you can rent a bike and get out into the mountains. Visit some hot springs, waterfalls. Go up to Chiang Rai, visit some Coffee /Tea Plantations. So many options, especially for vlogging. The south is great, very beautiful beaches, nice hotels but right now full of tourists and just in the last month especially Phuket has become very expensive. Krabi ,ko Samui (lamai beach area) , ko Pha Ngan, ko Chang are also nice places to visit with great beaches. So many options
I always wanted to go to Bangkok but I love it somebody's going before me and it's personal to me cuz you go over every detail thank you let's head for the South to the beaches then to the north to the jungle . Thank you blessings Dennis from Maine
Thank you all for choosing Thailand as your itinerary. You will surely find a wonderful experience. Have fun and enjoy your vacation. I, as a Thai person, welcome…🙏🇹🇭😍
Merci beaucoup pour vos vdo. Je suis Thaïlandais et je beaucoup manqué mon Pays 4 ans déjà jamais retourner en Thailande. J'espère prochaine vacances je veux retourner . Je t'aime beaucoup et remercie encore, Bisous et a très bientôt.♥️♥️🇹🇭🇹🇭🇨🇵🇨🇵
We loved Bangkok, yes its a large city but its easy to fly to other locations very cheaply. You can fly to Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore for just over $100 nonstop. You can do numerous domestic travel, nonstop for several days. We do lots of day trips in Bangkok, just take a bus, boat 30 minutes outside of the city center and its a very different city. We rent a service apartment for 2 or 3 months. The real Bangkok is not the area that you are staying at btw its a very western part of the city. Definitely explore outside that area before you decide.
Good to know that both of you enjoy "Thailand Land of smile" and first day in "Bangkok city of angel. North, Northeast, South region and central part of our country is waitng for your discovery.
Bangkok has many parks large and small scattered throughout the metropolis and are being rebuilt every year and each has its own identity and activities.😉😊
So excited to get to Thailand one day! Always love your videos. They are so thoughtfully and intentionally valuable, filled with great information and you always do a great job setting up your videos 😊
Hey guys it's Shaun from cape Breton love your videos as always my name changed to my channel name as you guys inspired me to start a channel...love you guys
Hello. Looking forward to watching this series. If your more into beaches head south but my favourite place is Chiang Mai. Also when speaking Thai check into using female and male versions. Do use “ka” and “krab” - If you are a woman, it is appropriate to end sentences or greetings with “ka.” For example, “sawasdee” is hello in Thai…as a woman, you would say “sawasdee ka.” If you are a man, your sentences should end with “krab,” so “sawasdee krab” is a proper hello. Hope that helps. 🙏
It's white egg yolk, normally we use it to make little thick bubble layer and it makes your drink lighter and eastier to drink. Gin fizz is one of my favorite cocktails so far with that technique.
I'm from Thailand. I'm welcome and proud that you guys visit my country. Please open the subtitles in Thai. Most Thai people are not good at English because they have never been colonized.

Other tips would be: 1) Try Singha Beer instead of Chang for a change (I prefer Singha); 2) If you are not there yet, go to Krabi Province and Khao Sok National Park; You will absolutely not regret it. Both are magical! Love seeing your content and seeing you guys in Thailand! I'm already looking forward to the next video :)
Thanks for all the tips Vicky! Super helpful and we're glad you're following along 👍 - Trevor
you get 45 days and you can go to immigration and get another 30 day extension. Then you can hop to another country and come back and do that again 2 times (visa likely reverts back to 30 days with 30 day extension in March.)
also, IMO, get out of Bangkok as soon as you can. unless you like big cities there are much more interesting more authentic Thai places ... if you like beaches (and will actually use them) then head south ... if you like nature, them head North (Chiang Mai, where I'm living is one of the digital nomad capitals of the world) either way, flights are cheap and an hour or two flight will get you from top to bottom.
We like all of the above! It will be hard to decide 😀
Welcome to Thailand . Have a nice trip here.
Thank you! 😃
It is called Pathumchart, a sculpture piece that depicts lotus flower. Pathum = lotus, chart = nation, roughly lotus species. BTW, Benjakitti park is adjacent to Lumpini Park, the first public park in Thailand built by King Rama VI to emulate Hyde Park. The king when as a young prince was sent to a boarding school in England. There is a green skywalk that links two parks together. Benjakitti Park and its new extension (forest park) area used to be Tobacco Monopoly of Thailand's factory in the old days. The factory was relocated to faraway province for a decade now. Thai words: Sawatdi is used for greeting at any time of day, Khob Khun = thanks, La Korn = good bye, Mai Pen Rai = It's OK. Aroiy = delicious. The cheapest iced freshly brewed coffee is 35-40 baht for a takeaway but if you buy in cafeteria of public hospital/university, there is simple bench/table for you to sit on. In my housing village, the price was 35 baht for 10 years but it was increased to 40 baht last month! Coffee menu is latte, capuchino, americano, espresso, mocca, all 40 baht. For iced tea such as green tea, ceylon tea, Thai tea, lime tea, iced Milo, it is still 30 baht for the last 10 years!
🙏
@@DelightfulTravellers Sometimes you may find a cup of coffee for 10 baht or 19-20 baht.
Welcome to Thailand On every trip in Thailand, I wish you both happiness, full of laughter, good food, pleasant encounters with kind Thai people and always safe in Thailand. from Thai people who always welcome you to visit our Thailand
🥰
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAILAND!
I went in Jan2020. Spent 3days in each-Visited Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai. Packed so much in and decided that a 2nd visit is much needed. There are 3 YT'ers I follow that live in Thailand full-time...notime2bsad, thai girl gift & foreigner joe, journeys with Mike and Niccole (just moved there this year). Next trip I plan to (1) stay longer, (2) take the train and (3) pick other places to visit.
Pattaya-Kanchanaburi-Jomtiem-Prachuap Khiri Khan for starters!
Love Bangkok but I love busy cities; Phuket was okay, did the island hop day tour, and Chiang Mai was great.
Definitely get a foot and thai massage... daily. Your body will love you after you've spent all day walking!
Much love to you. I look forward to the series...may give me some more ideas of other locations to add to my growing list!
Welcome to the Channel Sweetpea! - Anna
We are in Chiang Mai now! FYI, it's 45 days in plus you can pay 1900 Baht (without leaving Thailand) at immigration to extend another 30 days! We are doing 45+30, bouncing out/in, then another 45+30. We might see you down south in January.
Nice! How's Chiang Mai so far? Good to know about the 1900 Baht! - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers It's good but like you guys, we miss the beach! It's cheaper up here and the mountains are beautiful, but it's still a big city (#2 in Thailand).
Welcome to Thailand. Have a nice everyday!!
The message in front of the gold statue just informs that its name is Pa toom chart which I am not sure its meaning but it should be something like the birth of lotus. And it also tells that this architecture built as the first part of the park's symbol and it was built in 18years ago.
P.S. the google translate provided you with weird Thai word for Hello - Sa wad dee kub/ka (for men and ka for women), Thank you - korb koon kub/ka and good bye - we say " Pai gorn na kub/ka or "Bye"
Definitely visit Talad Noi near the Chao Phraya. Outside of Bangkok I would recommend Khao Yai, Ayutthaya, Kanchanaburi (Sai Yok Noi Waterfall), Koh Kood, Koh Samui, Phuket, Petchabun / Sukhothai, Koh Phi Phi, Railay, Similan Islands, Krabi
We'll start looking up these places guys! Appreciate the help 😀 - Trevor
Welcome to Thailand folks!
You guys are precious! I love how you find the joy in the little things 💛 loved the positive energy and realism. Have a wonderful trip. Stay safe
🥰 So happy to be here
Thailand is indeed a beautiful city and has many tourist destinations.
Thailand is a county
It was kind of a shock moving here from Switzerland which is smaller than the city of Bangkok. Btw i live in on nut which is outside of the expensive part but still close to everything thanks to living 20 meters from the BTS
😮😯 amazing thailand
Woohoo!
Guys Thailand is amazing Love this place Try to wander down to Phuket Around kata Beach Awesome place Enjoy
Noted and looking that place up now 👍- Trevor
Lol, this is the cool season. Lots to do and see here in Thailand. Come on down to Pattaya only a couple of hours drive from Bangkok. Also Phuket. You will love these places
Very welcome to our beloved country ☺️
Sawasdee krub , welcome to Bangkok , I hope you enjoy your trip in Bangkok. and provinces in Thailand that are unique And the beauty that is different , you have a safe journey...krub ✌✌✌✌
Thank you very much for coming to visit Thailand. Have a good time and nice , safe trip. Sa-bai Sa-bai Na-krab.
Thailand! Cool! I know nothing about this place so I’m looking forward to this series! City looks pretty clean despite busy. I’m interested to see the rest of the country and the food! Safe travels as always y’all!

My husband and I just got back to canada from a three week vacation in Thailand.
We walked through that park and stayed close to Terminal 21, some great, inexpensive Thai food in that mall.
The food here is out of this world right? Soooo good! - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers I’m really going to miss it.
True! Please go to the Sunrise Tacos, a Mexican Restaurant on the 4th floor at Terminal 21. They have the most delicious Mexican food which surprised us! Also, try "Cafe Amazon" coffee shop at the lower level. You need a bigger cup because they don't fill it up all the way, but really good coffee/ latte.
Many restaurants have other branches around town but there's a difference in consistency. Please tey these locations!
If you are feeling like eating healthy, try "Get Fresh", amazing loaded salads and other fresh delicious food. We've been to almost all locations in town, and our favorite one was the Mercury Ville location. Please enjoy! 😉
As Thai , so glad to welcome you both to Thailand , Enjoy !
Hi Anna and Trevor,
Sitting here with a massive smile on my face watching this great vid from you both!
So excited that you have made it to The Land of Smiles, you're going to absolutely love it.
I've just returned from a 1 month's trip to the Kingdom. Bangkok is my fave Sth East Asian city. It has so much to offer (food, coffee, culture, sights, etc)
If you haven't already been told females finish their sentences with Ka (Sawasdee Ka) and males with Khup (Sawasdee Khup)
Also not sure if you know that the 45-day visa exemption can be extended for another 30 days. You're gonna need the time if you want to dive deep into the country.
I'd highly recommend heading down south to the islands as they are stunning (Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao) also there's a small island called Samet which is amazing and only a couple of hour's drive from Bkk past Pattaya.
Krabi, Phuket, and Phi Phi are also fantastic.
I'm looking forward to seeing where you end up traveling to :)
Thanks Paul! We're just hearing about that extension now so that's great to know. It sounds like it's going to be impossible to go to all these places 😀 So much to choose from! - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers Hey Trevor, just enjoy wherever you guys get to. Thailand is such a massive place and you never can do it in 1 trip. Get Anna to throw a dart at a map of the south and head to wherever it lands :)
Welcome to Thailand! Enjoy your trip and keep bottle of water because it's so hot here.
Thank you to visit Thailand, hope you will have wonderful time here... We have a lot of places to visit and now it's really good time to visit Thailand!
We recently lived in Bangkok. Coming back in February, and can not wait. After spending several months there and going back. It comes down to distance to groceries (eating out is cheap, but we do like to cook here and there) and distance BTS/MRT by foot.
We have noticed eating out is very cheap. Luv that! 🤗 - Anna
Welcome to Thailand again ❤🇹🇭
ผมเป็นคนไทย เนื่องจากช่วงเวลานี้ภาคเหนือของ ประเทศไทยมีอากาศเย็นสบาย แต่ภาคใต้มีฝน ผมขอแนะนำให้คุณเที่ยวภาคเหนือ เชียงใหม่ เชียงราย แม่ฮ่องสอน ก่อน สองสัปดาห์ แล้วจึงลงใต้ ภูเก็ต กระบี่ ตรัง สมุย ครับ
Welcome to Thailand! Wish you both enjoy and love our country. you can easily impressed people here by communicate with Thai words. Good luck.
We're loving it here so far SS - Anna
welcome to the country Thailand wishes you a good experience. Have a nice day ❤️🇹🇭
Cheers.. we're so excited to be here - Trevor
I Hope you have a great time in Thailand. 😄
จ้า😂😂😂
My fav Bangkok rooftop bars: Belga, Char, Hi-So, Vanilla Sky and Octave. There are 40+ rooftop bars there. Enjoy your time in the Big Mango!
Just love Thailand, you have to visit Koh samui and Krabi
They are all on the list! Everything is haha 😅
@@DelightfulTravellers enjoy and have a fantastic time, cant wait for your next video…
Hey Guys, awesome that you made it to Thailand. I would recommend Phuket (Karon beach/Kata beach/Nai Harn beach) and also Koh Samui island. BKK is amazing city, stay in Sukhumvik area or Thong Lor. Use Skytrain to travel around. Enjoy! Might run into you guys as I'm in Thailand too:) Cheers
Thanks John... we're looking some of those places up now. Luv it here so far 😀- Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers Hey Trevor & Anna, another good tip to know about Thai language. Only men use "Kup" (cup) after most words, and women use "Ka" after most words. Not sure if you know about this but it's helpful to know. So Trevor just say "Kup" all the time! lol
Most cities in Thailand are easy to live depending on what kind of activities you enjoy. Bangkok definitely is most vibrant as there's everything for everyone at every kind of budget. Chaingmai is charming smaller city and has everything you need as well except beaches but it has mountains. During March April it's smokey season and very 🥵. Phuket is touristy and expensive but nice beaches.
Good to know Bud! Cheers - Trevor
Welcome to Thailand ❤❤❤❤❤
We're so happy to be here! Thank you - Anna
Thailand is beautiful country .Thank you for this EP
So happy you guys made it to the land of smiles.
😀 We're so excited to be here! - Trevor
So awesome that you’re both in Thailand 😍 I haven’t been there even though I’m close by in Australia. Bangkok and kho Samui are supposed to be amazing. Take care travelling guys 😊
It's our first time! Come visit Angie 😀 - Anna
The first sculpture is the symbol of Benchaketti park. It replicates lotus flower, that widely grows in Thailand.
Good to know!
Welcome to Thailand, the land of smiles and kindness and the most delicious food in the world.
Spent 2 months in BKK, stayed at Ascott Thonglor, a brand new hotel... so clean and a very convenient location. Also cheaper price if you book on their website.
I dream of going back every day!
Good to know!
Go to Chiang Mai. It is magnificent and very distinct from the beaches in the South or the Caribbean. I am from Santo Domingo.
Noted.. good to know as well - Trevor
Welcome to Thailand 🇹🇭 ❤
We stayed at Marriott properties in Khao Lak, two different ones in Phuket, we stayed in Oa Nang, did day trips to several islands in the area and finally Bangkok before we flew back to Canada yesterday. If we had more time we wouldn’t went to the north and Khao Samui.
Sounds like you had a great time Lisa 🤗 - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers it was amazing. Look forward to your series. Hope you’re feeling better.
Amazing country!! I really enjoyed the video.
Greetings from DR
🤗
Waiting to see you both trravel around more in bkk and Thailand
Welcome to Thailand. I live in Aree area where I think is very nice and lot of expats choose live here too. You can find good food, good coffee in every price range. Quite close to everything you need, sky train, hospital, super market, massage places etc. and just 20 mins by BTS to Siam. Hope you enjoy living here.
Hi Anna & Trevor-That's great that you made it to Thailand! We're also in Bangkok for the month. We'll have to keep our eyes open for you guys out walking around and enjoying the sites :)
This city is so big right? Wow.. so much to see and do here 🤗 - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers It is huge! We were here a few years ago, and it was definitely culture shock for us. Even though we kind of knew what to expect, just the heat and humidity alone were quite a jolt lol. We absolutely love it here :)
ยินดีต้อนรับค่ะ ขอให้คุณทั้งคู่มีความสุขกับการท่องเที่ยวพักผ่อนในประเทศไทย เดินทางปลอดภัยนะค่ะ และขอบคุณที่เลือกมาประเทศไทยค่ะ
like peace living in Chiang Mai like the comfort live in Bangkok Love the rural way of life in the Northeast Love the sea and many foreigners live in Phuket or Pattaya and Koh Samui. Have fun in Thailand
You can go to Immigration and extend that 45 days for another 30. Will cost 1900 baht. Will give you a total of 75 days. If you like chill, laid back and great Coffee, go to Chiang Mai. Traffic is not so bad, you can rent a bike and get out into the mountains. Visit some hot springs, waterfalls. Go up to Chiang Rai, visit some Coffee /Tea Plantations. So many options, especially for vlogging.
The south is great, very beautiful beaches, nice hotels but right now full of tourists and just in the last month especially Phuket has become very expensive. Krabi ,ko Samui (lamai beach area) , ko Pha Ngan, ko Chang are also nice places to visit with great beaches. So many options
I always wanted to go to Bangkok but I love it somebody's going before me and it's personal to me cuz you go over every detail thank you let's head for the South to the beaches then to the north to the jungle . Thank you blessings Dennis from Maine
Welcome to Thailand 🇹🇭

Great one guys! That rooftop pool looks incredible! Ben and I plan to spend a couple of months at Tiger Muay Thai to train one of these years!
There are Muay Thai gyms everywhere around here. So cool to see 🤙- Trevor
Nice! I'm a Greek guy who lives in Thailand! 😄
We loved Bangkok, yes its a large city but its easy to fly to other locations very cheaply. You can fly to Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore for just over $100 nonstop. You can do numerous domestic travel, nonstop for several days. We do lots of day trips in Bangkok, just take a bus, boat 30 minutes outside of the city center and its a very different city. We rent a service apartment for 2 or 3 months.
The real Bangkok is not the area that you are staying at btw its a very western part of the city. Definitely explore outside that area before you decide.
Welcome our world class vloggers. You guys made a whole lot of super travel logs.
I think everywhere in Thailand are so nice ❤🇹🇭
We can't wait to see more of this place! - Anna
So glad you like our country. Hope your stay here is delightful and memorable.
เที่ยวให้สนุกและมีความสุขครับ หวังว่าจะมีประสพการณ์ดีๆที่เมืองไทยนะครับ ยินดีต้อนรับ.

Bangkok is a city of nightlife , you can try tons of amazing rooftop and bars there, don't forget to visit Maha Nakhon building, cheers
Sawasdee @ Maty 🤗😊🙏

Good to know that both of you enjoy "Thailand Land of smile" and first day in "Bangkok city of angel. North, Northeast, South region and central part of our country is waitng for your discovery.
Bangkok has many parks large and small scattered throughout the metropolis and are being rebuilt every year and each has its own identity and activities.😉😊
Welcome to Thailand Hope you guys have a wonderful time in our country 💛🥂 Enjoy your holiday 🇹🇭🥂
Going to be hard to beat that Thai food!
So good and so so cheap. Luv it! - Trevor

Hey guys it's Shaun from cape Breton love your videos as always my name changed to my channel name as you guys inspired me to start a channel...love you guys
So cool we inspired you Shaun. Hope things are great in the 'Cape' 🤙- Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers things are great...I'm hoping to get subscribers... fingers crossed
Hello. Looking forward to watching this series. If your more into beaches head south but my favourite place is Chiang Mai. Also when speaking Thai check into using female and male versions. Do use “ka” and “krab” - If you are a woman, it is appropriate to end sentences or greetings with “ka.” For example, “sawasdee” is hello in Thai…as a woman, you would say “sawasdee ka.” If you are a man, your sentences should end with “krab,” so “sawasdee krab” is a proper hello. Hope that helps. 🙏
It's white egg yolk, normally we use it to make little thick bubble layer and it makes your drink lighter and eastier to drink. Gin fizz is one of my favorite cocktails so far with that technique.
I'm from Thailand. I'm welcome and proud that you guys visit my country. Please open the subtitles in Thai. Most Thai people are not good at English because they have never been colonized.
There are subtitles in Thai! Please check again 😊
it looks luxurious❤❤❤
