The Auto taxi Driver was stopped by the police in your journey for not wearing the uniform . You can see the back window police patrol was questioning him . Bad people like him everywhere. It’s a very good vid , Chris well done for your work .
My company put me at Leela palace Chennai for about a month when I was relocating to Chennai. The place was the definition of Lux. The staff was quite nice and very welcoming. They used to ask me how I was every day I stayed there, they helped me out in getting cabs and stuff. They took feedback after a couple of days and they really did reflect on it.The sea view was stunning and all in all, definitely worth the price they charge you. Everything is hygienic and all in all very comfy place to stay if you can spend the money.
Chris that is the Broken Bridge, hardly survived a few years of build, has remained as seen for about 40 years now, it was built as a walking bridge between Marina -Santhome beaches and Elliot’s beach at Beasant Nagar.
I been there 10 more times with my friend from france ...this place is amazing, the entire building scent is wow and so relaxing ....pool is too good with beautiful gardens all staue they put in all corner is too good ❤❤❤
That "freeway" thingy on the estuary/beach is called Broken Bridge, was once connecting link between the Marina and Elliots beach over the mouth of the Adayar river. A cyclone storm in the 70s took away a big chunk of it and it's been like this pretty much since then. Great place for young people to hang out on and great for morning photo sessions.
Chris you should definitely visit mahabalipuram which is about 30-40 kms from thr city , and maybe pondicherry and auroville which is like a 3 hour drive down the east coast road, youll really like those spots!

You are so adorable! Lovely place, wow! For that price it is really awesome! I agree we have to treat ourselves once in awhile. I've been watching all your stuff from India, Thailand, Malaysia and most recent Philippines.
Regarding the autorickshaws (tuc-tuc's), always use Uber or Ola to book your autorickshaw. Its always the best price and no bargaining with the drivers..It makes your life much more easier. BTW, you can also use Uber and Ola for cabs as well. Hope this helps!
Know this , hard bed is good for strengthening your back structure. Auto driver charged u quadruple the amount of usual for that distance . Thats exactly why i choose cabs or buses in chennai as modes or transport . Bengaluru and Madurai is best for Auto travel , nominal price.
😱😱😱 Sorry to hear that the tuk tuk driver was dishonest and charged you double and tried to keep your change...Any way I am happy to see that the lela palace rejuvenated you and the Nan Hari helped you cool your body down and the sea view made you forget about the tuk tuk experience 💯👍
Great price for the hotel. Thanks for showing us. Always look forward to what we gonna see when you post! You never let us down with content so appreciate your time to produce such informative and entertaining vlogs. Till next time👍
Hi Chris I hope you can visit our country Philippines soon. You will not regret in visiting Philippines there are beautiful beaches, mountains and beautiful places here in our country that you can visit. I’m always watching your YT videos while I am working from home. I’m one of your avid silent viewers. Anyway, keep safe and enjoy visiting beautiful places around the world.👍🫰🏼
It is better to take Uber/Rapido for Autorickshaws(Tuktuk). In Chennai, sometimes you have got to be extra careful. There are also good auto rickshaw drivers too.
Travel Europe you would understand what dishonesty is ..😅 In my experience europian people are the most dishonest people in the world.. they will rip you off the moment you step outside airport
I’ve had similar experience in Goa India. Everywhere I travelled they tried to charge me for every step I took lol.. at the airport some one tried to charge me 100 rupees for a baggage cart.. which were free!!!!! Lol. But please understand I’ve had these experiences anywhere I’ve traveled. Mexico Jamaica etc.. all beautiful places but the poverty makes some people desperate enough to forget any moral compass they may have. Sad but I understand. Thank you for the honest review. I love your travels ❤
Oh absolutely, it happens everywhere. I just always talk about those situations when they happen because so many people watch my videos then travel to those places for the first time and I want them to be aware. Trust me, people rip off tourists in every country
Chris, also a suggestion. When you're travelling, you should make use of your viewer base (people who follow you and also comment on your videos) to reach out and provide basic assistance and guidance. It will make life easier for you and also shooting your videos as well. Hope it helps!
I’m over here cooking breakfast watching ur video bro. Just realized i watched another man talk in a bathtub for like five minutes. Being a usmc vet it didn’t bother me tho 😂 good video bro.. you’ve motivated me to get going on my journey and I’ll be leaving North Carolina next month💪🏽 keep up the good work brother
We are very sorry Chris about this Tuk tuk driver incident. I watch your video first time and i really loved it. Thankyou so much for visiting in india.😊
Chris, Love your longer version of these video's. I feel like I am travelling Bro....!!! Many Thanks. So funny chat with Tuk..tuk..Guy...!!!! I remember from Sri Lanka video the tuk tuk guy who took you to the Botanical garden was very honest,.....!! Gorgeous hotel with Friendly staff....!!
Oh man I was expecting more videos of India from you but you fled to Hong long. Any way enjoy you life and keep up coming with good videos. Till then best of luck
Awesome.... lila palace is a Amazing place. Everything is perfectly organize there. You have been welcomed and respected. BTW. If you are not comfortable with the chargers, you have a rights to get a decision, wheather you are get in their vehicles, so... wait and try to find a fair price person. Always decide and fix the chargers before destination. It would be a wise decision. Greetings from here in sri lanka ❤🥰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
I’m staying at crystal bay beach koh samui…..I’m Thailand as we speak. I have a view of the ocean with a balcony… cost me 450$ cad for 7 nights. Unreal and beautiful
I love the amenities at the Leela Palace Hotel. I'm sure that Indian hotels and their services are better for the price tag than in Srilanka. Enjoy your stay in the hotel and wish you all the best for another episode in HK.🎉
Well deserved upgrade after all the hassle you went through with the TUK TUK driver, he was annoying and felt entitled.But like you said, you come across dishonest people all over the World, but glad you were able to expose him and people like him. The Hotel seems like TOP NOTCH, very clean and service seems fantastic. I will certainly visit Chennia one day to experience the good vibes and probably stay at the Hotel, but bed is paramount for a great sleep at a top notch Hotel . Chri you are generous and well mannered, your mum has done a great job with your upbringing.
If you go 5km in US how much they charging for cab… be kind also to the drivers… and that tick tick auto charging us also same double that what Uber or ola shows it’s not only to you … moreover sometimes they charging in Uber more than what shows in the app… it’s all because Those company (Uber/OLa) not willing to reduce their percentage (35%) even petrol prices increase and money inflation also increased… so all cab drivers suffering to get proper money to survive…
Hello Chris: I am an Indian born East Africa, living in USA. India seems like a must visit. Especially Chennai. Please let me have the name of the $40 hotel you stayed at before Leela Hotel. Thank you very much.
Hey Chris, did I miss the travel credit card you spoke about? I didn’t see the info on it 🤷🏼♀️ I’ve been watching your videos for a while now (first time commenting) I am heading to Morocco in October and will rewatch your videos for some inspiration. We’re on to Turkey after Morocco and who knows I may never come back….maybe Thailand. I have the wanderlust gene from my Dad👣 thank you for your videos when I’m stuck at home I can live vicariously through you. Take care and safe journeys 😎
Aye. Thanks for the experience. Maybe one day I will make it to India but definitely avoiding those tuktuk cabs and sticking to the Uber. The rooms look very nice for the price. I believe my Vegas room @ the wynn was 250 per night.. looking forward to yah Hong Kong videos
Hey Chris, I'm the same way about forgetting to charge my phone. Do you have one of those cases that not only protect your phone, but it has a built in rechargeable battery as well? That solved my problem. My wife has one for her iphone too. You charge it with you phone in it, and when your phone dies you hit the button on the case and the case recharges your phone. Best investment I ever made and they are not expensive at all.

@@TravelwithchrisHi Chris, love watching your travels. Could you add your friend, Solos? UA-cam link here.

Beds in India are traditionally harder than the US. They are considered better quality when the mattress is firm.
Know this , hard bed is good for strengthening your back structure. Auto driver charged u quadruple the amount of usual for that distance . Thats exactly why i choose cabs or buses in chennai as modes or transport .

Ye logo ne bhi humhe lutta hai ab humari baari hai
Thats not a freeway but called Broken bridge. Rougher section is not the city but fisherman residences ..it's called foreshore estate
Thanks a lot for that info
Great job man, love your channel, love your kindness to people, George Nashville, TN, hope to meet you one day
That was an amazing hotel for $ 170. Here in the U.S. that would be ridiculously priced.
Yes seriously! I would guess like $550 a night in the US? I was in San Francisco last year and paid $220 for a terrible spot
I paid 190 euros for a single bed room in Heidelberg - Not a very big city in Germany.
Chris is the best and always fair. It's good he parted ways with that tuktuk at the gate!
Thanks a lot bro!
I got married at leela palace, one of my fav star hotels in chennai,try the jamavar restaurant for good tandoori food.
Such an amazing place!
We are poor people man, u live this life 😅 have great day and many greetings to India 🇮🇳❤️
But you' have rps.5000 to watch cricket. How's that?
Blessing to India on their hospitality
🙏🏻❤️🤘🏻
Great video brotha Chris ,, always look forward to seeing your videos, stay safe 🙏
Thanks brother!
U are feeling 170 dollar cheaper because usa hav more powerful currency than India ..., But for India 14000 rs is very big for one night
Oh man i watch ur vedios bcos it gives me positive energy in the way u speak and smile a lot. I love it 💙
Nice vlog, lots of love from Chennai ❤️

I have stayed there twice love the place i hope you enjoy chanai the people are lovely can’t wait to go back
From alwarpet to leela palace (MRC nagar) the tuk tuk ride price is outrageous... 200 is ok price
Very rude and dishonest tuk tuk driver, charged you double the cost and just dropped you at the hotel entrace. Anyways nice vlog.
Absolute rip off
Travel Europe you would understand what dishonesty is ..😅 In my experience europian people are the most dishonest people in the world.. they will rip you off the moment you step outside airport
Yes definitely, thanks a lot for watching!

Auto drivers in Chennai are a standalone species. Many used to ask 200 rupees for 2 kms even a decade ago. They haven’t changed one bit.

i also rarely use the pool unless it's part of the hotelroom lol

Sheeesh so expensive!
One of the best place in town.

Tuk Tuk Autos (3 wheler) is not allowed inside the Star hotel compound in India.
Taxis & Cars are allowed
Wow interesting
@@Travelwithchris Please don't hire Tuk Tuk Autos (3 wheler) for 4 star & 5 star hotels in India.
Moreover, Autos (3 wheler) charge fare minimum 2 times as that of Car/Taxi.
Autos (3 wheler) is preferred whenever we go to flower market, fish market, Temple & church where roads are narrow
My understanding having been to India many decades ago is that tuk Tuk drivers are not allowed to enter very expensive hotels. They lower the tone of the hotel experience. If you can afford a 5 star hotel you are expected to arrive in a car!
I hate to tell you Tim, but your understanding is wrong lmao , the hotel literally always had tuktuks right in the front and I used them the entire time 💪🏻
