Chiang Mai is a top destination in Thailand for those vacationing and for Digital Nomads and Expats alike. Living in Chiang Mai for a month, we now understand the draw it has for all those who find their way here. From vibrant street markets, laid-back neighborhoods, serene temples, and bustling nightlife, this city has something for everyone. If you are planning to visit Thailand – Chiang Mai is a destination that should be on your list!
We’re excited to explore the amazing Wat Phra That Doi Suthep temple with our friends @ProbablyLost (Hannah and Trey) followed by a few beers and amazing street food at Lanna Square market in Old Town Chiang Mai.

Loved the Chiang Mai video. Thanks Brian and Carrie. Where did you guys stay in Chiang Mai? If you could give us the contact info. My wife and I would love to go there again. We have been to Chiang Mai about 33 years ago and would very much love to go back there and stay for a long time – at least two weeks.
Hi. Love following your Thailand vlogs. What time of year is your Chiang Mai video as we're are looking at next April and concerned about Burning season? xx
i noticed you have a map where do you get it thanks for the videos new sub .here comes binge watching
Hi Guys – how was the air quality in the Nimman area? Were you comfortable (from an air quality perspective) walking? Did you walk to Old City? Thanks. We planned 3 weeks in Nimman, but read that the air quality in Chiang Mai is poor.
Hi Brian and Carrie! What month was this video taken? Having second thoughts of coming to Chiang Mai in Feb or March due to burning season. Have you experienced any effects of it when you guys were there? Kudos to you guys for making awesome videos. My husband and I resonate with your travel style. More power!
Wonderful video and funny and lots of great tips and info to look out for. Lookin good, Brian, with those pants! Thanks, guys!🍺🌻💙🏖
Hi Brian and carrie how do you spell the name of the area in chaing mai u stayed thank you
Love your videos. Great camera work, appreciate that you show the prices of your purchases, etc and that you share not only the positives but the potential challenges. Do you have a crew with you?
Always a joy to hear from you two! Great to see Chiangmai. How is the coffee?
Fun and informative to watch! Thank you! And today my last day of cancer treatments! Yay! Your videos are inspiring me to follow yr steps if I can beat this. Keep up your hopeful bon voyage travels helping others to travel through your eyes. All the best!🙏🏖❤☘
Fun fact: side of the red "baht bus" said maximum 30 baht per person
I can’t believe these Americans are cut throat cheap and rude!! For 4 people to take a ride “now” and only give them $2.50 and with such rudeness is disgusting!! I’d like to see you get a ride with that tone of voice for $2.50 in the US. You all are disgusting !! That’s bullying the poor Asians who barely make any money lady!! And to think you guys waited till the bus driver to have 10 people than to pay them $5 to have your way is just plain disgusting and bullying!! You people need to stay traveling in Europe and America and get ripped off while kissing their butts and stay away from Asia. They don’t need people like you traveling there and exploiting the hardworking poor Asian workers.
❤❤❤❤❤
FYI: 306 steps! Counting from the road to the very top floor of the temple. Yes, I counted them. 🤣 555
Both of my favorite travel couples in one video!!!! Love it!!! LOVE the pants!!!
I just found your channel, it’s fantastic. I’m a female solo traveler, so I’m learning. Thank you. Beers in the Temples? Really, 😂
Great content as always! And thanks for introducing us to @ProbablyLost. We are considering planning our first trip to Thailand from the Eastern US – how many days would you suggest we need to cover at least Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and possibly Phuket? We're huge foodies and appreciate you taking us to all of the local markets.

That’s the best corner of town .
Thanks for all your great information. I have been following your channel from inception and really appreciate all the detailed info given. My husband and I are planning a trip to Thailand around November this year. Could you please give me some idea as to where in the Old Town we could investigate for accomodation. We would like an area within walking distance to eating places, night markets etc. Thanks so much.
Great, as usual. We have just returned from five wonderfulbweeks inbthe Yucatan and are planning for Thailand later.
There is one enhancement I would like you to consider when engaging food vendors. Jeanette (like many other viewers I think) is allergic to shellfish. Could you comment as you engage, whether the vendor takes that into account and prevents contamination of the NON shellfish meals please?

Having watched way more of you guys and just discovered Probably Lost, I would have loved to see you sitting around and discussing the differences between their traveling (younger generation) and your traveling (cough, cough…older generation). Maybe next time? 🙂
Great video! Loved seeing Brian rock the elephant pants! Thinking they need to make regular appearances going forward. Saturday and Sunday night markets are epic events that you definitely need to rest up for!
If you are still in Chiang Mai – do check out the "Lemongrass" restaurant. Its a small home run eatery – fantastic food and service at very reasonable prices. We ate there every night during our visit to Chiang Mai around 10 years ago. Will be curious to know how you like it if you do go visit. On a side note, my wife and I (we are Americans as well) are enjoying following your journey – and learning from it. We are planning something similar – but with 2 kids – for 9 months. Keep up your great work, and safe travels!
What was that conversation with the driver from the red bus?
+1
Ahhh, great to see Hannah and Trey in your video. I love both sets of Youtubers' travel series around Europe and Asia. I find your slow travel and the costings super-interesting, and Probably Lost''s fast travel guides brilliant for planning weekend city breaks. Because of them, I have been to Sofia, Barcelona, Budapest and Copenhagen in the last few months!!
I love your Chaing Mai vlogs. I climbed up to that temple as a 12 year old… and remember feeling sick when we got there!!
I still can't believe we all got to hang out finally after A YEAR of being so close but so far away! We were smiling from ear to ear the whole time watching this video. Have the best time in Vietnam & can't wait to catch up again soon!! 🤗
Loving your Thai videos 👏❤Carrie can you let us know where you got all your wonderful silver earrings! Love love love
Nice and informative. Your videos are the best guide for our trip plans. Thank you for the time and effort to. create them.
Nice video! I've heard about the smoky season. Sorry it has already started, but glad you are having a great time!
I have one random question. If you use two factor authentication to access some of you accounts, what is your 2FA method of choice? I've been going crazy trying to figure out how to use 2FA for my various accounts once I cancel my cell phone plan. Seems like a lot of accounts won't send a 2FA code to a voip number (like Google Voice). If you've got a good solution, I'd love to hear. Thanks and keep 'em coming! 🍻
Wonderful videos
👍
Very nice video thank you ❤
I found that when I traveled in Thailand and was able to say hello and thank you in Thai, they were so incredibly appreciative of my effort.
If you guys like local markets, I recommend Jingjai Market on Sunday mornings. Get there early though, it does get crowded fast and many shops close up by noon!
Always great content. luv your stuff.
Totally cool if this isn’t a video you want to make Carrie. However, it is so obvious that Carrie stays in great shape. Brian you are very handsome, but I’m so interested in Carries routine while traveling. I think she does morning walks before the day starts. Carrie do you go to the gym, yoga, running, weights etc.? Just curious 🧐
Love your videos! My wife and I look forward to them every Saturday morning. Just a suggestion – when you guys are trying street food vendors, we would love to see, every once in awhile, the vendor making your meal from start to finish, depending on how long it takes of course. Again, you guys are the best!!
How fukn cool to run into other youtubers!!! Those two look fun to hang with! Great video as usual! And way to negotiate that red truck ride price Carrie! YOU ROCK! Miss and love you both! So looking forward to seeing you guys in May! Mmmwah! 😘😘
Great video! I love the details you provide. Thanks!
Such a fun video. Thanks for suggestions, as now we decided to add Chang Mai to our Thailand trip.
This was such a fun video guys! Biggest takeaway: Little Red Trucks Make People Throw Up! 😂😂
Thailand is the paradise and second home for all visitor !!!
Love your videos. Thanks for sharing your take on Old Town vs. Niman. Is there any specific area within the Old Town that you would recommend? We are also planning a longish stay in Chiang Mai soon. Looking forward to many more videos.
