Yeah, they really did have the time of their lives! They’re actually all adopted, and we have loved getting to give them awesome experiences. We have a video all about their story if you’re interested: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zq-3QZKQZvw.html Thanks for the comment!
@@YaleWallI loved your adoption video... you guys are amazing loving people... I'm visiting Thailand in 2024 with my toddlers, is there anyway I can email you for advice plz I'm having a hard time trying to figure things out an you guys make it so easy, hope you can help me plz😊
How very refreshing the visit to Thailand is ! Thank you a lot for this presentation by your Channel which has almost fulfilled 50% of our desires to visit the important beautiful tourist places in Thailand. Wish you all the best .
That's really great to know, thank you! I have heard many suggestions since posting this video, but haven't heard of that park yet. The photos look beautiful.
That’s great, you’re going to love it! I don’t remember exactly how much it was, but his WhatsApp number is in the video description, and if you reach out to him and tell him you got his number from my video, he’ll give you a great price. He’s hooked up a bunch of my subscribers :)
I can’t seem to find this over video you talk about. Great spots by the way. Been to thailand many times but this trip will be the first one with my family
Hey, thanks for watching. Yeah, I’m sorry, the other video isn’t up yet. We have another 10-12 videos from Thailand that are coming still but they take a while to edit. The one on traveling to Thailand with kids is coming in the next few weeks!
We decided not to include prices because exchange rates and everything can shift so fast, and so much of the prices are based on bartering. I would suggest reaching out to our drive Wichain to get a price. His contact info is in the description.
Love the ending, very funny! Shame you didn't contact my company (Trunk Travel) as we could have recommended many other (better!) things to do in Bangkok. Lived here 15 years, two children (10 & 5) and our company specialises in ethical, cultural and fun activities in Thailand. Next time, maybe! Good luck and great vid.
Hey Stephen, thanks for the comment. I’d love it if you would add to the discussion. What kind of things would you suggest are better for families to do?
That’s great! Wichain can probably tell you better what to see, but personally I would spend one day seeing as much as possible in the city: Wat Pho, Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace, Wat Arun, and maybe the King Power Mahanakon. Then on day 2 I’d see something a bit outside of the city like one of the floating markets and maybe the train market (more of a cultural experience), or Ayutthaya (more of a historical experience). Hope you enjoy it! Let me know how it was after you go.
First thing i’m doing is going to a mall (yes i’m a teen but we’ve lived SOO long in ko phangan like 3 years and it’s 30 min to the over side of the island and it’s really boring)
That's great! The mall in Koh Samui was actually really great. I love malls too. It must be incredible to live in Ko Phangan, even if it is a little boring at times.
That’s awesome that you’re getting to go! We didn’t really have an itinerary exactly because we were there for 2 months. We spent most of our time in and around Chiang Mai, we spent a week in Bangkok, a week in Koh Samui, and a few days in Chiang Rai. If you watch the videos in our Thailand Playlist (ru-vid.com/group/PLe56i8ZhhO6Sf_u0Vzdb92jH5smPxtvvo&si=OhvC0RNBWAPD4xWA) you’ll get a good idea of what all we did in all of those places. If it were me, I would spend 4-5 days each in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and one of the beach destinations in the south. It’s very easy and affordable to fly to most places in Thailand once you’re in country.
I would actually suggest staying in an AirBNB… you can get a really incredible place for a very affordable amount with an AirBNB. Here’s where we stayed: abnb.me/jWbn2YEV5Bb
We stayed in an air b&b just down the street from Terminal 21. It was a great place for our family and a fantastic host. Here’s the link: abnb.me/6xm3tWBHlub For car seats, we purchased these travel ones that were super helpful! amzn.to/3gvd812 Check back soon….we will post another video on tips for traveling to Thailand with a family!
@@YaleWall Thank you. Those won’t work with my daughter as she is a small 2 year old. How did you get around what transportations. Do you recommend bringing a full size car seat for her
We mostly took Grab cars in Thailand, which is like their version of Uber, and rented a car while we were in Chiang Mai. The train in Bangkok is also a viable option, but it won’t get you everywhere you need to go without a good amount of walking. We actually didn’t see a single other person for the 2 months we were in Thailand who had a car seat of any kind at all - it’s just not a thing in their culture. If you want to bring a full car seat, you can, but it’s going to be a strange thing to most drivers. Even our little booster seats for our 4 and 6 year olds raised a bunch of eyebrows and even seemed a little offense to some, like we didn’t trust their driving. For shorter trips we ended up just holding our kids on our laps. I would very much suggest talking to a private driver and booking them ahead of time for the time you’ll be there if you plan on bringing a car seat - or even if you don’t :). The driver we had while we were there, Wichain, is an incredible guy and would ensure the trip is very safe. You can contact him ahead of time on the WhatsApp app. His number is: +66 85 766 9917. Tell him that Yale and Autumn gave you his number and I’m sure he’ll give you the same incredible experience he gave us.
Interesting video; Bangkok is a great city. Also great to highlight the things kids would find interesting to do. Well done. However, I cannot believe you got involved in the disgusting trade in wild animals. Paying to hold a slow loris is just the most crass thing that jumps out of the video. Contributing to and supporting this cruel trade is unforgivable.
Hey John, thanks for your comment! Actually, I am a huge animal lover, and I used to work at a Zoo in education and conservation. The entire time we were in Thailand, we were offered to ride elephants at least 30-40 times and always declined because of the living standards of these animals and the harm of the “working conditions” they have to go through for someone to ride them. We did go to an elephant sanctuary though (video coming soon). While there is no way for me to know the living standards of this exact Slow Lorus, often tourist things like this provide a way for small primates to live a good life in their home climate, and be involved in a breeding program without being shipped off somewhere because they’re an exotic animal.
Thanks for letting us know. We were told by locals who were not connected to that group that this was done humanely and gave the animals a healthy home. Thanks for the heads up.
Hi! I’d like to know if you can make a recommendation for places to eat in BKK, that may serve food, which doesn’t have a speck of Spiciness? Cause my kids don’t like spicy foods. And according to some people, even if you inform them not to add peppery ingredients, they still serve it with chillis. So, I’d like to know which places in Bangkok, (not in the malls) provide food options that are not spicy “at aLL.” Many Thanks!😊
Hey, thanks for watching and commenting! I don't know of any specific places that will 100% be spice free, but in general, if you go to a sit down restaurant you are more likely to get custom orders like that. The reason that most meals will still be spicy even if you ask for no spice isn't because they are rude or don't listen, its because much of the food is prepared in advance and the base of the meal already has spice in it, so even if they don't add more, the deed has been done. In general, stay away from street food, or from places like food courts that prepare things quickly. Also, it would help you to have an English speaker with you to have some of those conversations for you, so you make sure they understand what you are needing. If you are looking for a driver who speaks English, I would highly suggest our friend Wichain. You can send him a message on What's App to 085-766-9917.
I just recently talked with him. If you’re in another country, you need to make sure to use the country code listed in the description. Did you try +66 85 766 9917 ?
The best way to contact him is on WhatsApp. If you don’t have that app yet, it’s definitely worth downloading because people in Thailand use it for everything. Here’s his number of WhatsApp: Wichain Prada Sri +66-85-766-9917
I wish I could say that I said it that way BY accident, but I must confess that saying on accident was less of an accident and more of an issue with accent being that I’m from the Occident. Maybe one day I’ll make the cultural ascent and speak like an ancient to a greater extent.
Well, everything is a bit less boring with crazy kids around, but no, you could really do all of those things without kids and they’d still be great. There are also a few other things that would be fun without kids.
