ViagensTranscrição
00:00Chiang Mai is famous for having more than 300 Buddhist temples, but what I discovered in
00:06This city was far more unexpected than I imagined. Today I'm going to explore another side of it.
00:11In this city, hidden places that seem to have been taken from a dream, temples where monks
00:16They live by rules that very few people know. I'll try the famous Thai massages and finish
00:23a night in one of the largest and most vibrant night markets in northern Thailand.
00:28Come with me to discover if Chiang Mai is really as spiritual and peaceful as
00:33They say, or if it hides a completely different face.
00:41Hey fellow travelers! How are you? How are you? How are you? Welcome back to my channel.
00:48Today I greet you from northern Thailand, specifically from Chiang Mai, a city that
00:53It has become very famous for its culture, spirituality, and for having more than 300 active Buddhist temples.
01:01So in this video I want us to have a rollercoaster of emotions and see many experiences
01:07from going to places that seem unreal, getting a nice tail massage and trying the craziest things
01:14of the night street markets. I hope you're ready because I am, so let's begin.
01:26My tour begins in the historic center of Chiang Mai, which, as you can see, is entirely surrounded by ancient walls.
01:33which were built more than 700 years ago and, like almost all historic centers, there are also many pigeons.
01:40I don't know what people see in this, but all the tourists are here.
01:44taking photos and videos.
01:46There are many places and attractions in this area, including temples to visit, and I'm going to give you a piece of information.
01:51The reason you want to know if your hotel's location is good is that it's relatively close to this.
01:57area
01:57Because you'll be able to do all the routes either walking or by tuk-tuk, but let's take it easy and walk.
02:02Let's see what we find.
02:03Chiang Mai's old city is full of temples, cafes, small shops, and a very special energy.
02:10that blends tradition and everyday life.
02:13It was exactly two years ago that I last came to Chiang Mai and I'm impressed by how much it has changed.
02:20how it has evolved right here within the old city.
02:24There are so many more very, very beautiful little shops that I'm even using as inspiration for my shop in Venezuela.
02:30All the decorations are there; you have tons of things you can take home at really good prices.
02:35And that's something else I like about Chiang Mai, that even though it's not a city
02:38very big
02:39You'll find too many shopping centers, stores, restaurants, roadstops, and very nice things.
02:50Wow! You can't imagine how hot it is, my travelers, about 33 degrees Celsius!
02:58So I bought this super delicious coconut candy. Mmm! So sweet!
03:04If I hadn't seen that they had just cut it, I would have said they added sugar because it was so sweet and refreshing.
03:10It's really cold, but I just remembered that I've been here in Thailand for about 6 days now.
03:15And I haven't had my first Thai massage yet, so I'm going to walk around and see where we can pamper ourselves.
03:20a little while.
03:28Look how nice! I just found a massage right on the street, a special foot massage here.
03:36The cars are passing by right next to me; they're cleaning them with warm water to get started.
03:41It's because I walked too much, you haven't seen it here, but my little feet were already hurting.
03:45I said, ah, why not get a little massage and pamper my little feet?
03:54Wow! This feels so good! It seems like they know exactly where to touch you.
04:00And I can't stop thinking about my mom because she's always walking around with sore heels and
04:04She would love to be here.
04:05Let's make a deal, Mom. I'll give you the massages in Thailand and you buy the plane ticket.
04:10No, that's a lie, but they really are very rich and very cheap.
04:14You can find a full hour of massage for $5 or $10.
04:23I didn't feel like walking anymore, so I took this tuk-tuk because even though my feet felt light and relaxed,
04:31Now I feel like I've got this hard, so I took this tuk-tuk to go to a spa I saw
04:37who had a very good reputation.
04:39It's relatively close, but I didn't want to reach my feet, so let's continue to indulge ourselves, my travelers.
04:48This is not like the place where I just got my massages.
04:52It's much nicer now, to be honest. I hope the massages are really, really good.
04:56Her name is Senza and I'm going to get a traditional Thai massage, so let's see how it goes.
05:09Look how beautiful the place is where I'm going to get my Thai massage.
05:14I'm going to do them quickly, like a room tour.
05:17It has the jacuzzi over here and the massage table over here; I like it because it's quite well lit.
05:23And there's a really nice energy, so let's pamper ourselves.
05:34Contrary to what many believe, a Thai massage is not a relaxing massage.
05:40It's more of a traditional massage, obviously from here in Thailand, but it's like a muscle relaxant.
05:45They touch you with their feet, elbows, and hands, touching different points of the body
05:49And little by little you feel everything starting to sound familiar, like this...
05:53When you feel like everything is tightly contracted, but after this you feel like you're floating.
06:06Oh my God! What am I doing during your Thai massage?
06:11Okay, I need to relax. Phew! It sounded like it was coming from my soul.
06:16Thai massage has over 2500 years of history and combines pressure on points of the body with very deep stretches.
06:25intense.
06:26It's basically like doing yoga, but someone else moves your body for you.
06:43Here in Thailand you can get around in many ways.
06:46Rent a motorbike, go by tuk-tuk, or travel in VIP style in your guide's van in Thailand.
06:52Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello!
06:53And that's how I'm going to leave today because it's really hot, so let's go.
07:05Chiang Mai has become one of the cities with the most creative cafes in all of Southeast Asia.
07:13And I must confess that it was even hard for me to choose one because there are so many and they are all spectacular.
07:19But I just arrived here and I think I made a good choice because this, more than a coffee shop, seems
07:25a natural park.
07:27Look at the waterfalls, it feels so cool and I can hear little frogs in the background.
07:33Notice that you can explore all of this while immersing yourself as if in a fairy tale, something totally
07:39full of fantasy.
07:47This place is truly amazing. The entrance fee is 80 baht, which is less than $3.
07:54I imagine it's because many people will only come to take pictures and then leave.
07:58In my case, as I mentioned, I came hungry but even so the place is beautiful.
08:02It's totally worth coming, even without having tried the food.
08:06But I keep walking and looking for that place where I can really have a good coffee.
08:10The atmosphere is nice, however, I feel like it's never going to stay that hot.
08:15because near all the trees there's this whole mechanism that sprinkles you with a little bit of water and
08:20It's cooling you down.
08:30This place is totally unreal. I feel like I'm in a fantasy movie.
08:35Just like when you start meditating and you imagine everything as something spectacular.
08:41That's how I feel right now. Notice how it's getting dark, and there's a passageway to the upper level.
08:52I have to be careful because it's really slippery, but I feel like I'm entering another world.
08:59Something within a dream, within all of these.
09:02I guess I'm entering some kind of tree.
09:05There are gaps that you start to see.
09:06All the waterfalls.
09:08Ugh, my drying is going to be ruined in two seconds with so much water.
09:12Wow, look at this.
09:22Uff, look, I think this has been one of my favorite parts, seeing these baby goats.
09:27I'd never seen such tiny baby goats before, and they're very affectionate.
09:31Hey, don't fight, there's more food here, girls.
09:34Ah, ah, sorry, sorry.
09:37You can buy these leaves, which are their food.
09:40Here they are.
09:41They surrounded me when they saw I had some food.
09:44And they are all around the park.
09:46Okay, but don't fight, there are more of us here.
09:49Look.
09:50Be careful not to mistake my dress for a leaf.
09:55If you haven't liked this video yet, I think we've gotten off to a great start.
10:00We've started off very well.
10:02Calm down.
10:03I think they're hungry.
10:04They're like me.
10:10I love you all very much, my travelers.
10:12Look how romantic all the photos are.
10:16To take lots of spectacular photos and videos.
10:19It's really worth spending 3 or 4 hours here taking such beautiful photos and videos.
10:25is.
10:33Look, there's a lot of variety and I like that everything comes with pictures so you can see what it's like.
10:39And for example, I'm going to order this La Plancha chicken that costs 195 watts, which is less.
10:44$7.
10:55In this area you can walk around and find dozens of Buddhist temples that are still active for all those people who
11:02They want to find their spirituality, to pray, to meditate.
11:06Some are free, others are paid.
11:09I chose three that we're going to get to know in this video, but first we have to adapt to the dress codes.
11:15So I'm all set with the little hats nice and covered.
11:19So let's see what we find.
11:25This is one of the most important Buddhist temples in Chiang Mai.
11:30It's called Wat Pra Sing, and I hope I spelled it right.
11:34It was built over 600 years ago and right inside is one of the most revered images of Buddha.
11:41from all over Thailand.
11:42Today is Sunday, it's quite crowded, and something you might not know is that the temple isn't just...
11:48not just this part we see here, but everything around it that we're going to walk through.
11:52So let's go.
12:03It's truly impressive how beautiful the Buddha is, and I dared to film in this place because I see that
12:10Most of the people who are here, tourists, who also come with a lot of respect, stay for a while,
12:16They close their eyes.
12:17And those who are really locals are closer and I see that they're kind of leaning in and
12:23They blow a kiss towards the floor.
12:25Here you can stay regardless of whether you are religious or not and simply give thanks, meditate and find yourself.
12:33Temples in Thailand are known as Wat.
12:37Many of them have centuries of history and continue to be places where monks live, study, and practice their spiritual life.
12:44Wow, these places are super beautiful, impressive, gold is always the predominant color.
12:52And perhaps something you didn't know is that Buddhist temples are not only places to practice religion, but also
12:58They are not only places to pray and meditate, but also centers of study for all monks.
13:02Here they study philosophies, different languages, and spend a large part of the day right here praying and learning.
13:09And something else that really caught my attention is that Buddhism is not just a religion, but that
13:15For them, it's a way of understanding life.
13:17Where peace is found from the inside out, and above all by learning to control the mind.
13:23The life of a monk is full of surprising rules. Many of them only eat before noon.
13:30They must not have material possessions or direct contact with money.
13:34They also cannot have physical contact with women.
13:37And despite more than 200 rules, many men in Thailand become monks at least once.
13:43in his life.
13:44Gua Chedi Luang is the second temple we are visiting and look how impressive it is.
13:50I already took off my shoes because it's a priority rule when you're going to enter a temple.
13:55Leaving your shoes outside won't cause any problems.
13:58This temple also requires an entrance fee of 50 baht per person, which is less than 2
14:03dollars, like one and a half dollars.
14:05And I recommend you always bring cash because most temples only allow you to pay in cash.
14:10Just like in many restaurants, so it's important to always have cash on hand.
14:15Let's go inside so you can see how beautiful it is.
14:30After a long day of sightseeing in Chiang Mai, how wonderful to be able to arrive at such a beautiful hotel as
14:36This one, Bella Nara.
14:38It's a boutique hotel with this beautiful pool, and after suffering through so much heat, I think I've finally arrived.
14:44Time to relax or just hang out here for a while.
14:47And the prices are super cheap, especially in this part of Chiang Mai.
14:51And obviously I also booked this one with your guide in Thailand.
14:54Not just the tours, but all the hotels.
14:56They more or less tell you, based on the tours you're going to do, which hotels have the best location for you.
15:01I'm going to stay here for a little while and then I'll go upstairs to show you my room, which is beautiful.
15:06And it's going to be a very good option if you come here to Chiang Mai.
15:18Night fell, my travelers, and I came to the most vibrant place in all of Chiang Mai, to Sunday Night.
15:24Market, or rather, the Sunday night market.
15:28I'm so lucky to have arrived today.
15:31And here we have a kilometer-long market where you'll find thousands of things on both sides.
15:38to buy.
15:39From food, crafts and lots of clothes at very good prices.
15:50Wow, my travelers, this place is packed. It's the most popular market in all of Chiang Mai.
15:56On Sundays, it starts at 5 pm and ends at 10 pm.
16:01historic center.
16:02And I'm surprised by how varied it can be, how suddenly you find food, sweets.
16:07And in the little shop next door, look, handicrafts, souvenirs, clothes.
16:11The clothes are super cute.
16:12Normally, the clothes I'd seen here in the markets in Thailand were, as I said, very Thai clothes, with
16:19many little elephants.
16:21And here, no, here there's everything. Literally clothes I can take with me to travel to any country in the world.
16:26And I hope it's at a good price because I'm keen to buy a few things.
16:37Wow, look, I'm walking along and suddenly I don't understand what this is.
16:41And everyone around is moving like, "Go for it, go for it, go for it."
16:46And they are rings.
16:48Ah, coins.
16:50Coins.
16:50Coins and rings, I think.
16:52Okay, I'll grab one.
16:54Coin, coin.
16:55Let's see.
16:57Okay, not even a hand.
16:58Wow, look at the shape of this.
17:01How much?
17:041 per 160.
17:071 per 160.
17:07That's about $5.
17:101 per 150.
17:11OK thanks.
17:21Look at this beauty.
17:23There's music in a small part of the market.
17:26While they are doing all the dances, the Thai choreography.
17:31How delicately they move all the dolls, and how beautiful the costumes are.
17:50I must confess that when I set up a Thai market, I was thinking that all the food would be good.
17:57but quite exotic.
17:58And when I get here, I feel like trying everything.
18:02There's such a wide variety of desserts and savory food that everything looks delicious.
18:08There are things that I don't really know what they are, but they taste great and make me want to try them.
18:14And yes, I did see a small number of insects, but they were tiny.
18:25Look how beautiful these super original and traditional bamboo tables are!
18:31I feel like I'm having a picnic here with all my travel friends who are in love with Thailand.
18:36While we listen to the music and watch the whole show.
18:39I didn't know what to order because everything looked delicious, but let me tell you a little bit about it.
18:44These are mushrooms in tibiyaki sauce that look delicious. I've never tried mushrooms before, at least not like this.
18:50This is a palm cake, that's what the translation said, and it's like on a leaf.
18:56It looks like a banana.
18:58It smells delicious, I don't know if it's sweet or ice cream and the famous chicken patay.
19:03They're going to be amazed because I didn't spend even $5 on all this food.
19:09And I think that just this would have been enough for me.
19:10Let's see, I'm going to start by trying these little mushrooms.
19:21I like it.
19:24I like the feeling, I mean.
19:29I mean, it's not that it tastes really bad.
19:33I don't like consistency.
19:36I brought it here right away.
19:37The sauce is tasty, but I didn't like the texture or consistency.
19:42Okay, I'm going to try this now, hoping for a better experience because it just looks like a pancake.
19:53It's like a pancake, it's tasty but since it's dessert I'll save it for later.
19:59And now, with the patay, I'm going to move it with this and eat.
20:06Since I've been to Thailand, I've eaten too much chicken, shrimp, and pork patay.
20:15A 10 out of 10.
20:17It's spicy.
20:19It's delicious.
20:20Chiang Mai, a city that manages to blend spirituality, tradition and daily life in a very special way.
20:28From temples with silos steeped in history and a philosophy that encourages a more relaxed lifestyle to bustling night markets
20:35of flavors, colors and energy.
20:37If you enjoyed this video, don't forget to like it, and we'll see you in the next video traveling with Vero.
20:43Thailand.
