Today I will convince you to come to the often ignored Tak Town in Tak Province, Thailand. Often labelled boring, far from the touristy Pattaya, Phuket and Koh Samui, Tak holds a special place in my heart and I will showcase 10 reasons for visiting this Jewel of Thailand. No hefty entrance fees like Bangkok and friendly natured locals make Tak an enticing place to visit. Amazing hotels, eateries Mark Wiens himself would love to visit, Museums, markets, places of historical interest and a unique playground will all entice you to visit Tak Town.

@@jamesabroad8589 keep up the good work on the reviews. They are good fun and informative and the filming and editing are quality. Nightmare about the flight back. Apparently Qatar are the best airline in the world, according to "Skytrax Airline Awards". Probably run by a clever 12 year old from her bedroom who takes their money and then compiles the list, according to size of donations... Joking aside, probably how it works, apart from the 12 year old part 😂

As always James, you make your part of Thailand an attractive destination! I have been coming to Thailand since 1979; initially I was working in Hong Kong and spent all the time I coukd in Thailand to escape the stultifying Colonial atmosphere! Now nearly 80 I look for ease of transport facilities, somewhere disabled friendly, and with good hospital nearby with a spinal unit. I still visit Chiang Mai and Bangkok annually but doubt I could venture to Tak. Your recent Crewkerne sojourn confirms me - in Suffolk - that one should 'live, love, garden and die' in the English countryside! Convince me otherwise! Every good wish

Thailand's between destinations, that's quite a good theme for this one. Thailand's exotic isolated vibes have been dwindling since I first heard of Thailand as a child back in the early 60s. I live in one of Thailand's more isolated mid size cities, "Chaiyaphum" and the feel of being surrounded by nothing but Thai-people is unique, bring back some of that exotic destination feel. I loved it so much I decided to live in that feel forevermore. "Breaking away, getting away from it all", those are the small Thai town vibes a hermit like me cherishes most. *This has been another great show James, thanks so much* 🙏

G'day James, I think we stayed in the same room on our visit to Thailand last October. We loved the included breakfast and sat in the old ballroom. It certainly would've been a fantastic hotel in its day. Renovations were happening whilst we were there. We only stayed overnight and then the next morning drove up into the mountains for the weekend with friends. Can't remember the name but the road has 1219 curves. Next time we're there, it'd be great to catch up for an iced latte. All the best Roland Sydney Australia San Pa Tong - Chiang Mai

Tak has a tropical savanna climate (Köppen climate classification Aw). Winters are dry and very warm. Temperatures rise until April, which is very hot with the average daily maximum at 38.5 °C (101.3 °F). On 15 April 2023, Tak measured the highest temperature ever recorded in Thailand, reaching 45.4 °C (113.7 °F),[1] the first time that Thailand recorded a temperature over 45 °C (113 °F). The monsoon season runs from May through October, with heavy rain and somewhat cooler temperatures during the day, although nights remain warm. Now u know why u can Tak Phaa so fast

I can see myself coming to Tak and staying in that corner suite for a few days and explore the area. I have been to many 7/11s and although I have thought of many names to call the staff, “Angels in Green” has never been one of them. I will add that phrase to my lexicon.

No bum gun reviews so dubvious on hotel. Though a great space to practice my mincing. Other than that a perfect tourist video.

Hi James, is Tak (the town) a more affordable place to live than say Chang Mai or Hua Hin ?
@jamesabroad8589
@jamesabroad8589 2 месяца назад
Yes, in some cases but a lot less things to do, shopping etc. Depends on your lifestyle.👍

Great video as always James. Like you i’ve also just returned from my summer back home in Somerset...isn’t it great to have decent weather, cheap food and smiling people again, not to mention a properly cleaned anus!

Many locations are far more boring than Tak, but hotter? I think Tak actually has the highest maximum temperatures in all of Thailand.
@jamesabroad8589
@jamesabroad8589 2 месяца назад
Yes, very brutal in the hot season. 44-45 degree here sometimes.👍🍺
