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!! 🤗
We are SO happy we finally got to hang out and have the opportunity to film together. We are very much looking forward to crossing paths again very soon to share a few more beers and travel stories. 😊😊
Ahhh, great to see Hannah and Trey in your video. I love both sets of UA-camrs' 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!!
Thank you so much for watching! Hannah and Trey are amazing and have such a fun channel. It looks like you have a successful channel of your own!! Very cool!! Again, thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!🍻
Such a fun video. Thanks for suggestions, as now we decided to add Chang Mai to our Thailand trip.
Thank you so much for the kind words....we loved Chiang Mai and highly recommend visiting. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do ☺️. Cheers 🍻
Thailand is the paradise and second home for all visitor !!!
We totally agree, we are loving Thailand ❤️
Another great video! Bypassed the scorpion for a burritto! The look on Brian's face early on when he had the beer was priceless! Cool to catch up with other VLOGgers! I think you two would be such a fun couple to hang with (and have a beer or two). Rockin' those new pants!! On both of the guys! Cheers to all.
We had such a great time with Hannah and Trey! Their a lot of fun and really good at what they do. Thank you so much for watching! Maybe one day we will have a scorpion for lunch! 😁
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.
We always to learn a few basics and agree they do typically very much appreciate the effort. Thanks for watching 😊
Didn't expect to see Probably Lost in this video. What a pleasant surprise!
They are fantastic - we were so happy to be in the same area finally and had time to hang out together. Thanks for watching!
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!
Thank you so much for the suggestion, we didn't make it there this time but when we return we will for sure check it out 😊
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!🙏🏖❤☘
That is wonderful news, Anna!! 🙏Keep the fight going; you will travel before you know it!! Thank you so much for inspiring us!! ❤
Wonderful video and funny and lots of great tips and info to look out for. Lookin good, Brian, with those pants! Thanks, guys!🍺🌻💙🏖
Thank you!!! 🍻❤
Very nice video thank you ❤
Always great content. luv your stuff.
Thank you so much for the kind words 😊
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!!
That's a great suggestion and we are always looking at ways to improve content. We really appreciate the feedback and thank you both so much for watching ☺️
Great video! I love the details you provide. Thanks!
Thank you so much for watching and the kind words, we really appreciate it 😊
Love Chiang Mai. If I can get out of the hospital chiang mai my girlfriend and I will go. We’ve been there a bunch of times. It has a great vibe.
Hope all is well, Billy! Thank you for watching and commenting.
Cheers 🍻
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.
Also looking for the specific area that you liked. Not sure if it had a name? Maybe you could describe? Thanks!
Sorry, we did try to find a name for the area but couldn't find one, that was why I showed the map of old town and zoomed into the area. If you look up Lanna square that is the location we really liked in the old town area, and the footage we showed when walking around there. Hope that helps 😊
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! 😘😘
It was great to cross paths with some fellow UA-camrs we'd been following for so long....had a great time! Can't wait to see you in May, it will be here before we know it ❤️❤️
Nice and informative. Your videos are the best guide for our trip plans. Thank you for the time and effort to. create them.
Thank you, CM!
Check out "friends from Thailand " UA-cam. He is thai and gave out so much informations.
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!
Hey guys!! We ran into some cool yet weather here in Vietnam so those pants may come in handy!! 😆
Both of my favorite travel couples in one video!!!! Love it!!! LOVE the pants!!!
Thank you, Laurie! Hannah and Trey are an awesome couple!! We had so much fun hanging out with them. Thank you again for watching and commenting.
Cheers 🍻
That was a really fun video. Now I am going to subscribe to probably lost and have more to watch. Wahooooo😊
That's awesome, they are fantastic! So happy you enjoyed the video, we had a great time filming it. Cheers 🍻
Great video guys, the temple is gorgeous and the view is pretty up there. Isn’t it great to meet up with fellow UA-camrs? I saw a sign fried insects, wonder when are you releasing a video “Carrie is trying insects for the first time and couldn’t wait to try again”, lol😂. Anyhow I am just teasing, I wouldn’t touch them either. Hope you guys had fun, love travelling and make memories to last a lifetime. Cheers ❤ 🍻 ☀️
Thank you for watching! We had such a great time filming this video! Memories forever! ❤
Always a joy to hear from you two! Great to see Chiangmai. How is the coffee?
Hi, Bryan. Thank you. The Thai coffee was fantastic!
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 🧐
Hi Noelle! I try to incorporate exercise how I can based on where we are staying. In Chiang Mai we had a gym in our building so we hit that most mornings. In our place in Croatia we we in a building with 18 floors, so I would do that 3 times each morning. If we have room in our Airbnb we will do workout videos on UA-cam. I will also walk in the morning if that's the option but we walk a lot already (9 miles yesterday alone) so that's not my first choice 🤣🤣. It's not easy to keep a routine, but it's doable.
That’s the best corner of town .
Wonderful videos
Welcome to Thailand❤❤👍👍✌✌🇹🇭
Thank you! ❤
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.
We would say three days in each place. In Chaing Mai, you want to see all the temples plus you may want to go to the Elephant sanctuary, something that we didn't do. We saved our money for Ha Long Bay. Bangkok has day trips as well as temples that you don't want to miss. We really enjoyed both and the food is amazing!!! We are in Vietnam now and will be heading back to Southern Thailand in mid-March, Phuket we may visit in April. Thank you for watching and safe travels!!
Cheers!!🍻
Loving your Thai videos 👏❤Carrie can you let us know where you got all your wonderful silver earrings! Love love love
Hi Penny! Thank you so much, we are loving sharing Thailand with everyone. I actually just got these silver earrings when I was back home visiting family in Oregon...a wonderful gift from my sister in law 😍
This was such a fun video guys! Biggest takeaway: Little Red Trucks Make People Throw Up! 😂😂
Haha... That's so funny! Brian says "especially on a super curvy road". Thanks so much for watching 😊😊
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?
Thank you, Craig! We do not have a crew with us. We do everything ourselves from shooting the video to editing it. A process that we have had to learn as we go, we are getting faster at it but it can still be time-consuming. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Cheers!!🍻
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, 😂
Hi Susie, thanks so much for watching! It's very cool to see so many solo travelers doing this kind of travel as well. Safe travels where your adventures take you. Cheers!!
❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤
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? 🙂
Michelle, that is a great idea!! We will see them again in a couple months while we are in Malaysia. We will start gathering some talking points. Thank you!!!
Cheers!!!🍻
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!
We've already left unfortunately, but hopefully those viewers that plan to visit will see this suggestion. Thank you so much for watching and it sounds like you have some exciting adventures ahead

Great work guys. Greetings from your fans in Ireland. As a matter of interest, what career pathways did you undertake before this epic life transition? Could make a good video
Hi, Conor! Ireland is on our bucket list!!! I was in the beer and wine industry and Carrie worked in administrative for the city that we are from. Thank you for watching our channel!!
Cheers 🍻
@@BrianandCarrie Super. No surprises there Brian! Ireland is a phenomenal place visually. While costly - likely similar to LA, NYC or Seattle pricewise - it might be possible to do it budget style somehow. Accommodation is a gigantic cost issue unfortunately. Loved the Romania series, where my wife is from. We did a Transylvania roadtrip in 2021 and it blew us away.
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.
Hi, Jeanette. Old Town isn't very big, and everything is within walking distance, we really liked Lanna Square. There are a number of nice boutique hotels to choose from. Thank you for supporting our channel, we really appreciate it.
Cheers!!🍻
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
We were there in January/February. Do some research on burning season, that area gets very bad.
Thank you. I think we might avoid and try another time maybe
xx@@BrianandCarrie
i noticed you have a map where do you get it thanks for the videos new sub .here comes binge watching
We use google maps. Thank you for watching our channel!!
👍
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!
We were there in January into early February. We had just started to be affected by the smoke by the time we left and do know Feb and March got much worse. We concluded that Dec and Jan seem to be the better months to be there. Hope that helps! Cheers 🍻
ศึกษาเส้นทางในการเดินทาง รู้ราคาสินค้าต่างๆรวมถึงค่าโดยสารได้ยิ่งดี เผื่อราคาต่อรองกับผู้ให้บริการเรา
Fun fact: side of the red "baht bus" said maximum 30 baht per person
And you can negotiate down from there. Here in Koh Samui its triple the price and they don't always negotiate.
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.
We stayed in the Nimon district in Chiang Mai. We no longer provide Airbnb links for multiple reasons.
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?
Roger
Hi Roger, the street food venders probably are not able to avoid cross contamination. There are plenty of options that don't sell any kind of sea food to choose from, however. Peanut allergies would also be a big problem.
@Brian and Carrie Thanks so much. No peanut allergies, just the wife's shellfish one. We expected that you would say that. We have travelled to nearly 70 countries and territories worldwide and have been fortunate by taking commonsense precautions but always carrying her Epipens with us.
I highly appreciate that you took the time to respond. Cheers.
Roger
I think the commonsense precautions are best. It would be difficult to navigate the way you have with a food allergy. We did address it in a video coming out in a couple weeks. We did the boat cruise in Ha Long Bay and they are very accommodating and will have a separate menu for any guest for any reason. This is a good topic to touch on! We are drafting a video now for next Saturday and will address it. Thank you!!
Cheers!!!🍻
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! 🍻
Hey there, sorry for the late reply we've been out of range. This has been a bit of a issue but as long as we set up the Google voice numbers before leaving the states we have found the majority of sites with dual authentication have worked. What I did do on the last time home was set up Google Fi. I used it while home and then paused service as soon as we arrived. You can pause for 3 months at a time. This gives me local number banks recognize and if I need it I put in my Google Fi sim card, activate and I'm good to go. Not the easiest or cheapest solution but it's works for us. Hope that helps
@@BrianandCarrie That is helpful. Thanks for the detailed reply!
I've been testing the various accounts that I use multi factor authentication with and not all worked using my Google Voice number. For several accounts, I was able to change from having an SMS message with a security code sent to my phone to having the code emailed to me. For another account I could setup Symantec VIP Access (free app), and another account let me use the built in authenticator on my Google Pixel phone. One bank account only uses SMS messages to send the security code (and won't work with Google Voice), so I'm looking into closing that account and opening another account that uses email or an authenticator app. I had no idea life could get so complicated if you don't want to have a phone. Crazy!
Glad you had a great time in Thailand and I'm looking forward to your next adventure! Cheers! 🍻
And I'm thinking about porting my cell phone number over to Google Voice before leaving and I'll also look into Google Fi. Thanks again!
What was that conversation with the driver from the red bus?
Price
FYI: 306 steps! Counting from the road to the very top floor of the temple. Yes, I counted them. 🤣 555
Haha... So many stairs and in the heat of the day 😳. So worth the climb in the end, such a beautiful place. Thanks for watching!!
@@BrianandCarrie Yes, Doi Suthep is beautiful and the second most important temple in all of Thailand 🇹🇭
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.
We did walk to the old town several times. It is about a 20-to-30-minute walk. The best time of year to go is Dec-Feb. The air quality is still good until late February. After that, it is burn season and the air quality can be really bad. We left just in time. 🍻
@@BrianandCarrie perfect, thank you!
Hi Brian and carrie how do you spell the name of the area in chaing mai u stayed thank you
It was the Nimman district. On a map it will be the Nimmanhaemin district.
@@BrianandCarrie thank you

Common trick to let you out half way there if you made the mistake of paying up front. Live and Burn.
We actually didn't pay up front, he was just taking us to another truck down the road but didn't say that and then wanted full payment.
@@BrianandCarrie something different then, sounds like kind of a free for all with those buses. unfortunate.
