  • After 200+ episodes of doing food in Singapore, we wanted to do something new. Welcome to CARRY ON - with one carry-on bag and no matter what happens, we'll carry on to show you lesser known destinations all over the world! No sponsors. No clients. Self-funded. Our first stop: Pai, North of Thailand. The catch: we didn't know it was haze season so we landed in the world's most air polluted city!
    Check out our itinerary here:

    Hi fam 💙 Welcome to our new series CARRY ON! No sponsors, no clients, self-funded. A lot of joy and laughs as we carry on to show you lesser known destinations around the world with just one carry-on bag! You can find the full itinerary with details in the link in the description box.
    We're changing the way we do things here so we're cutting down on UA-cam ads. So you'll get to each episode with only 1 ad break.
    We've also been hard at work for a brand new interview heart-to-heart talk series where we chat with inspiring individuals and delve into their journey. All this and more coming up in the second half of the year!
    Thank you for your support! It's gonna be good. Love, Aiken, Char, Gaius!

      Very much enjoyed this. Aiken and Nina made the show very entertaining. Can’t wait for the next upcoming content. Beautifully done and shout out to the crew. Hats off to you all. It’s great to raise awareness on forest fires, let’s hope more organisations can put a stop to this.

    Welcome to Chiang Mai/Pai, Aiken & Nina! Super brave of y’all to come during that time, it was one of the worst smokey seasons in the last few years.
    Please come back to Chiang Mai in November when the air is cleaner and it is nice & cold! 👌🏻 Hit me up! - another Singaporean in Chiang Mai 😉

    thank you and Char especially for bring such great images to your content. most of all the awareness you bring to the the world! remember to walk in pace with Him... just happy to see a more authentic side of you through your channel. it felt like after Covid, everyone is doing the same old things and trying to make as much money off as possible that i'm still surprised how some bloggers managed to get so many views on the same old content . this is so refreshing for my soul especially coming from a local! appreciate you going to such places and bringing yourself out of your normalcy and breaking barriers.. stay safe wherever you travel. Maybe next time .. u can add a few mins on what you guys pack in your carry on!!! only because i find that most challenging all the time! ha ha. take care and God Bless. looking forward to your future videos !

    The huts should have an episode of its own. It had charm. So much charm that surely one cockroach can be forgiven? The after dinner frolicking was delightful for the sheer variety of what was on offer and how different one venue was from the next. I enjoyed this for what I learned about Pai and there wasn't too much inter-hosts inconsequential banter.

    More travel vlog please! - Kevin
    Welcome to the one of the Northern Big Three.
    Next time, if you really wanna challenge yourself to explore lesser known places come over to Chiang Rai (Second Northern Big Three) then road trip to the Mae Sai "The Golden Triangle" zone but please bring passport along due to heavy military/police presence & checkpoint around the area
    Then drive over to Phayao (Third Northern Big Three) if times allow you all can also explore Lamphang, Nan and vice versa.
    Contrary to the forest fire, it was also spread over from neighboring countries like Laos, Cambodia etc and one of the national forest park and mountain range "Phu Chi Fa" known for its amazing sun rise view is now closed for maintenance as the trees, land and hills are completely burn down as the fire spread over from Laos.
