I taught refugee Hmong students when I was a teacher in Stockton, California. They were incredibly hard-working and fast learners. I love these people!
One of your best Wayne. Off your face on the mountain wine. Your true happy character was shining thru, no wonder the lovely lass was obliging. Congrats on both successes mate👌👍
Hi Wayne, It was great to see that village and I could see the relief on your face with the cooler weather... Great vlog and only a short trip away. Loads to see and do on your doorstep. Thanks
Flipping sweet wayne‼️your vlog style has improved sooo much since you first started!I love your videos,we are lucky to have you vlogging‼️stay awesome 🙏🏻
thanks for this one wayne, my GF and i were at the doi pui hm0ng camp in january, this has brought back some great memories. some guy in the crowd was trying to sell me diamonds haha. didnt try the wine but we had a photo shoot with the costumes and enjoyed a coffee down at the waterfull
I got to go there! I’ve been to the Karen, but not to the Hmong. Everyone seems super friendly and good English speakers. I would ask if she had a room for rent at her place..then you can make your move. 🦋
Wow thanks Wayne! That was beautiful! I have only ever been as high as Bhubing Palace but I was on my bicycle & tired hahaha 😉 Next time I will be sure to go up to Doi Pui. I didn't know it was all that. Beautiful! Thanks!!
It's a great morning out from Chiang Mai, nice to get up in the cool air and peace and quiet. That wine did have a kick to it. If I had anymore, I would have been staying the night haha.
Hey Wayne! Don’t feel bad about not buying from the First Lady for she didn’t offer the discount. :) Thanks for sharing and had been there before unfortunately I missed the look out stop.
Wish I had a mountain to go up to get away from the heat here in Corpus Christi, Texas. How could you do better, cool weather, beautiful lady, and outstanding mountain scenery. One of your best videos. Stay safe man.
Thanks for sharing! Wine can be up to 12-13%. After that, the yeast dies. If it's higer than 12-13%, they have added hard spirit made of the same fruit as the wine.
I kinda miss all the good natured Thai laughters and smiles too. An atmosphere you can’t easily find here in the US or even here in the paradise of Southern California! Good job Wayne!! Can’t wait for my return at the end of this October 😀!!
"Wow! Your RU-vid channel is an absolute treasure trove of wanderlust and inspiration! From the breathtaking landscapes to the vibrant culture, you've truly captured the essence of Thailand's beauty and charm. Your videos take us on unforgettable journeys, immersing us in the vibrant streets, stunning beaches, and lush forests of this incredible country.
That lovely wine seller reminds me a little of the Mary that Christ as very man, of very man, was said to have shown a particular interest in. A lush fragrant mountain could well be considered, a pleasantry. Good to know about how cool it can get.
I planned to go to the Hmong Village on my 2018 trip even though I knew it's overpriced, just for the experience (that view is beautiful!), but it was the day I broke my foot so we passed it. Because it's hard for me to get to (I won't drive in Thailand), I probably won't go but I'm glad you had fun. 🍷💃😂
I love this area of Thailand. I’ve spend most of my time in the northern mountains. Thanks for sharing. FYI…my Hmong and Thai friends pronounce Hmong with the “H” silent
I have been up here it's really beautiful area and love the lookout point there. It's better to go in the morning I think, and beautiful during the tourist season when the flowers are out.
Enjoying your walk abouts . Travelling to your new neck of the woods and then up into Laos in Oct/Nov. So I appreciate your recommendations. Will definitely give hill tribe folks a visit and see if I can get a 150 baht bottle of plonk as well. How many times is it that I have to say to her 'You're a very beautiful lady'. Ha!
Thank you mate! Sounds like you've got a good adventure planned. I'm sure you'll get a good deal on the wine. Just keep calling her beautiful and you'll be on a winner.
I think the wine was a bargain Wayne…. If only for the LINE ID 😂😂 All I got up there was photo of me with 2 little old lasses in full Hmong costume. I think their combined age was around 200 years! 😁🙏
Haha Yes Peter, I thought the prices was really cheap! Can't go wrong for 150 baht. Free testers and the offer of a bed for the night. I can't complain haha.
🗣🗣🗣 Aaaaand in the Blue Corner, Hurricane category, The King of The North, The Sheriff of Chiang Mai, The Boom-Boom Connoisseur, The Coffee-Resistant One, The Oakley Headhunter, The Man People Care About! Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to You WALK-ABOUT WAAAAYYYYYNE! p.s.: Love your adventures, they are just that splendid, Sir!
Their Tobacco that’s wrapped In banana leaves is amazing! I DONT NOT SMOKE cigs at all but tried it out there given that it’s authentic tobacco and highly recommend it, at least once. I ended up trying out the tobacco a few days before at a guide at a Lana home somewhere else but there we made freshly made tobacco in banana leaves and it was great so I had to give it another go when I went to doipui and saw them
I'm surprised no one else has mentioned about having ladies on my last 3 vlogs 🤣. Normally it gets people rattled if I have a lady on. It's all coincidence though, I doubt I'll bump into any for the next month.
Please Stop saying cheap rather say very affordable; I feel the word cheap very impolite when saying it loud in front of the local vendors. The product is just very affordable to you but may not be the case for locals and that does not make it a cheap product.
I'll could try, but I would have to change my whole 40 + years of natural talking. That could be tricky. I'm a very polite natured man, so I'm ok with some unintended culture mistakes. Thanks 👍
So Wayne, the thumbnail I wanted to see was you, after you pulled up the marijuana bust, running for your life with in clutched in one hand, and your GoPro in the other, and in the background angry villagers coming after you to get their MJ back. 555
"Get drunk and lay down here", says pretty lady. Reminds me when 2 pretty Nicaraguan girls invited me in. But ala Wayne, I walked on. But that was during the contra war. I need my head.
I have an idea for you Wayne. Very serious. Live Stream asking that wine seller “ten” out for a date. Then maybe do a live stream of an interview with her. This could graduate to “the Chronicles of the wine Lady”. The chemistry you have with her is amazing. She is a natural. The next you tube star. Her personality is off the scale. Do not let this opportunity pass by. Your subscriptions will 5x. It would be compelling video. Please ask her out on a real date. This is the rare video I actually replayed . . . What do you think. Very serious about this.
Haha nice one Sean! 🤣. I don't think so buddy. This vlog is done and onto the next one. Many more people to see and meet. The Hmong ladies was great and I had a great time. Thanks for the detailed comment though Sean. 🙏
Wayne, for the sake of your next 100,000 subscribers (which you will acquire if you follow through on my suggestion). Your audience size will explode and you will touch that many more lives with your channel to share with us your vlogs. I really do love your commentary as you walk (and ride) through your journey. She could be the Ying to your Yang. Give it a thought.🧐
Thai vines from localist producers I think the taste will be great. this is one of policy's Movement Forward party. The owner speaks English so well and fluently. Thanks
