Hey Chris, thanks for the content and I would like to comment on the Thai Coconut Pancake (Kanom Krok) stall. It’s not a language barrier issue in that situation, it’s the fact that you’re pointing a camera at them while speaking English and asking them questions with your finger. So many content creators in Thailand sticking their cameras in people faces, inside a stall/window and pointing with their fingers. On top of that, a lot of them don’t end up buying anything. Try pointing the camera to the ground when asking questions, use Google Translate app and show them the text, use a open hand/palm when pointing at items/person and not using 1 finger, and you should have no issues in the future. Edit: Also, learn the basic greetings in Thai like: thank you, how much?, numbers like 1-10, and general greetings when you see somebody. That would help a lot in any country!
I'm curious about the pointing thing. Can you explain the idea behind using an open hand/palm when pointing to items or a person? Is this a Thai culture thing, or your approach in situations when you don't know the proper etiquette? I ask because when I approach culture, I try and observe when I don't know the proper way to do/say things, ask questions when there isn't a language barrier, and attempt to incorporate the common things locals are doing. This woman is pointing at things with one finger, so I seek to understand. Thank you for your help in educating me!
@@ForrestGreenPea Reason is culture and applies to other Asian cultures as well. This video will explain everything and the pointing part is at 3:00 mark in the video. ua-cam.com/video/4nxUpRM78Lc/v-deo.html Or search "Do's and Don'ts in Thailand"

@@zaireviews6624 Thank you so much for giving me more information! I have to admit that this would be a tough one for me to remember so I'll start practicing now. Haha!
The length of your videos do not measure the enrichment and great times we have by viewing your adventures. Thank you so much for your hard work and effort to bring us a different view of the world. And as always. Amazing karma!
Love the vibe of outdoor markets! Video yesterday was awesome u guys should have did one whole browny hehe. How long u guys staying in Thailand? U guys should hit up Cambodia whenever u guys get the chance since its not too far from Thailand. anyways like always take care Chris!😊
Yes , but it is too touristy .Not real Thailand .Too many tourists .Issan region much , much better than foreigners filled Chiang Mai .Visited many years ago I liked but I will not visit again .Chiang Rai? Same story .
What happened at the “Kanom Krok” stall is just about the language barrier. You were very polite by saying can I try... but in Thai it sounds like you were asking for a free sample instead of wanting to buy (her son translated like that). When you asked about the taro toppings, she lifted the lid to show you that it’s being cooked. She just didn’t speak. Most Thais who are not fluent in English are usually shy. They are not rude.
Hi Chris. Enjoy your videos on Thailand,I will be going in November for my first time. Thank you for what you do. Brian from Santa Clara, CA (military-originally from MA)✌️
You sure it's the largest night market in Thailand? The Train Market in Bangkok is pretty big. It's like it's own block. The Train Market is pretty famous and lots of youtube vids on it. I've been to the Train Market a few times. It's nice.
So sorry for some thai ppl they look ignored with you bcoz they feel shy to speak Eng and some cant speak English but they try to answer and speak with you Enjoy to travel Thailand 🇹🇭
The coconut corn or sweet potato. The Thai lady was trying to figure out what you asked but thinks you asked if it was sweet and then said that it’s not sweet in Thai but didn’t know how to tell you. Definite a language barrier. The other Thai lady said “no” bc she was trying to say that it wasn’t sweet. They were gonna give u a sample to try but you left.
Hi welcome. If you say Can I try some local people may be understand that you want to test it But if you say basic like Can I buy one maybe they can understand your meaning . Sorry for poor Eng. because it hard and different from our mother language.🙏❤️
I just opened the cannabis shop at Yak Guesthouse in Chiang Mai. So many weed’s stain there. I am very appreciate if you help let a people know our place
I little tips. It's happening with alk the English speaking, you guys talk like everyone have to understand you but surprise, 95% of thai peaple dont understand you. Repeat the same thinghs in the same way is not helping at all. And asking i Can tey that suopose you want eat for free. Carry the money in your and show One finger and without spoken att all I'm sure the lady give you one portion. I had a tapas bar in Barcelona and a coffe shop in chiang mai Americans are always the same they came and start speaking like everyone have to understand that and making nothing for help the other for understand better. Next time I cone to USA I start speak in italian all the time and let's see whats happens 😂

the other lady translated to her that he wanna try
Yes, when you say,”can I try?” It suggests that you want it for free.
I think 20 baht is nothing for the tourist. I would pay and try. I will throw them if I don’t like them.

I was going to plan a trip to Chiang Mai in the next few months. Do you still have to be fully vaccinated ?
Nope it is also opened to unvaccinated travelers!
ว้าววว น่าไปเดินเที่ยวมากๆ
Thanks for watching!
Where is this location? Usually I stay at the Nimanhaemin area 👍🏻 see you in 2 weeks time ✈️
What’s the name of this night market and where exactly in Chiangmai is it located?
You’re a good son thinking of your mom! ❤️
I'm a big fan of you＋👍🔔
Thank you so much for the support!
I ❤️ Chiang Mai night maket 😉🤙
ดีมากเลยครับที่มาเยือนCHINGMAI

You figuratively said the word literally 1 million times in this video
if you want to try a food you just said "Kho chim dai mai krub"
🔥❤️🇰🇭🇹🇭🙏🤗😇👏
Do you live in Cambodia?
You are so cute 😍

She did understand it her son translated for her but she just doesn’t want him to try some.
เยี่ยมเลยครับ
Wow the price so cheap
Yes very affordable!
Chiang Mai beautiful girl
I'm sorry about those unfriendly sellers, many sellers are not even Thai. CM is the hub of illegal immigrants from neighboring countries.
Thank you so much! It's okay, they were probably having a rough day!
She just didn't understand English so she avoid to talk with you because she feel a little bit shame. I am Thai.
