00:28Yes, two and a half weeks and then she's flying home with my parents
00:31so then I'm staying out for another three weeks,
00:34so six weeks in total.
00:35Do you enjoy Thailand?
00:36Yes, I really do. We haven't been here for that long though
00:39so we've got quite a while to go.
00:41We've got a long time left, yeah.
00:42What brought you to Thailand?
00:43We're just here with our parents, we're sisters.
00:45So we're with our parents for Christmas and New Year's

01:04What's your favourite place in Thailand so far?
01:06We've only been here to Krabi so far.
01:09We've been to Bangkok.
01:10Yeah, I prefer Krabi to Bangkok.
01:12I prefer Krabi 100%.
01:13And then we're going to Phi Phi and Chiang Mai as well.

01:22I'm at university so I study in marketing at the moment.
01:26I do A-levels so I'm at like secondary school.
01:31Have you faced any culture shock in Thailand?
01:34Motorbikes, I think.
01:36Oh yeah, crossing the road.
01:37Yeah, we see like kids going to school on a motorbike and I'm just like that's so cool.
01:41And crossing the road you have to like weave between all the cars.
01:43Yeah, it's a free-for-all which is very different to what we used to do.
01:47Different from England.
01:47Yeah.
01:49What are your future goals?
01:51I want to experience stuff.
01:52I mean I want to have a family, you know.

02:28Why did you decide to come to Thailand?
02:31Because...
02:31They decided.
02:32We like the mood, the vibe, so...
02:35And then in December it's perfect because here it's warm and in Milan it's so cold.
02:41Because actually I'm in Florence but I study Milan.
02:44And in Milan it's so cold.
02:45Here it's better.
02:46Because in Italy it's winter, so...
02:48Milan is north.

07:52What's your best memory in Thailand?

10:13I'm from the Netherlands.
10:15But I am born in Germany.

10:20I met some Dutch people and they are very cool.
10:23Cool, kind people.

10:24Easy to talk to.
10:26Easy to talk to.

10:40Amazing.
10:41I love it.
10:42Yeah.
10:42It's so different than the Netherlands.

10:48Nice weather.
10:49So, I love it.
10:50Yeah.

10:53Yes.
10:53First time solo traveling.
10:54So, that's very nice.
10:55You are brave.
10:57I'm brave.
10:58Thank you so much.
10:59Why did you decide to come to Thailand?
11:01Because of the summer season here.
11:04Like, it's nice weather and in the Netherlands it's rainy.
11:07So, I think I like the weather, the culture, the temples.
11:12Yeah.
11:12Everything.
11:12I think it's very great here.
11:14I think it's much cheaper than the Netherlands.
11:16Very.
11:17Yeah.
11:17Of course it is.
11:18Yeah.
11:19That's also very nice.
11:21Yes.
11:21What's your favorite place in Thailand so far?
11:23I think Krabi.
11:24Because of the beach, it's such a vibe.
11:27But I think Pai was also very nice.
11:30Yeah.
11:30It's a little bit smaller, but it's nice.
11:32Where will you visit after Krabi?
11:34I'm going to Kotao with Christmas.
11:36Snorkeling or?
11:37Snorkeling, yes.
11:38Yes, exactly.
11:39How much is the budget for a trip to Thailand?
11:42So, I think my flight tickets were like 1,300 euros.
11:47So, that's expensive.
11:48I think it depends on how you live, right?
11:50So, in total, I think 3,000 euros.
11:54Yeah.
11:55But I do everything.
11:56You know, I do all the trips, all the good food.
11:59So, I think, yeah, for the first time solo trip, it's nice.
12:02You have lots of money, I think.
12:04Nah.
12:05I spent…
12:06I work hard.

14:12Probably not my last time though.
14:14I really like it here.
14:15Yeah.
14:16Why did you decide to come to Thailand?
14:17We needed something different.
14:19Because we're not, the Christmas at home is like chilly and yeah, we needed to do something
14:25more fun and we like the warm here and yeah, the weather is perfect.
14:29So yeah.
14:30What are your plans in Thailand?

15:21It's really beautiful.
15:22Yeah, it is.
15:23What are your future goals?
15:25That's a hard question.
15:26Maybe just to make a difference.
15:28It's the easy answer.
15:30Like I'm certain to be a doctor, I want to help people.
15:32And I also want to live my life and make memories.

22:16How long is your stay in Thailand?
22:19I live here almost one year.
22:22I live more than two years.
22:23And my plan stay here forever.
22:26What do you do for living?
22:28I work on IT.
22:29I'm a software developer.
22:31I have Instagram.
22:32So you post lots of pictures.
22:34Pictures, commercial, lifestyle.
22:37Lifestyle.
22:38What's your favorite place in Thailand?
22:40I love whole Thailand.
22:42So I cannot choose one place.
22:45I like spend time on beaches, stuff like that.
22:49I don't like only Pattaya.
22:52Sorry.
22:53It's too dirty for me.
22:55But Phuket, it's beautiful place.
22:58Most beautiful in the world.
23:00Why did you decide to come to Thailand?
23:02You know, we have some reason.
23:06I have to move somewhere.
23:09But I like the weather.
23:11I really like hot weather.
23:13I like sea, as I said.
23:16So, yeah, kind people.
23:18I really love local people here.
23:20Thai people.
23:21Very kind.
23:23And always smile.
23:24What are your future goals?
23:26Our world now is so difficult.
23:29It's difficult to think about future, about plans.
23:35So, honestly, I don't know.
23:37I live here in present moment.
23:41Absolutely the same, only present moment.
23:43Because nobody can't know what we do in the future.
23:48That's true.
23:49And you look very happy.
23:51Yeah, of course.
23:52We are here.
23:53We are talking to you.
23:55It's so beautiful sunset.
23:57Yeah.
23:59Thank you for the interview.
24:01Thank you for asking the question.
24:06Where are you from?
24:07I'm from France, next to Switzerland.
24:10Bonjour.
24:11Bonjour.
24:12Comment ça va?
24:13Is it your vacation?
24:14Yes.
24:15I came for vacation, but I came also to learn Muay Thai.
24:18Muay Thai?
24:19Yeah.
24:19Yeah, yeah.
24:20I wanna fight.
24:21Maybe one day.
24:22Who knows?
24:23Yeah, you are very strong.
24:26But now, maybe later.
24:29Why did you come to Thailand?
24:30The people are kind, the culture, the food also.
24:33I really love Asian food, so really everything is good in Thailand.
24:39And it's very hot.
24:41Yeah.
24:41Also, also.
24:42Because right now in France, it's like minus five, I think.
24:45So, that's why.
24:47What's your impression of Thailand?
24:48It's really touristic here, but there's a lot of things to do,
24:52and there's a lot of things to see.
24:55So, I like it.
24:56I think the people are really, really kind.
24:59It's not the same in Europe.
25:00I don't say that the people aren't kind in Europe.
25:04They're much colder than here.
25:07So, I like it.
25:08It's really cool.
25:09But you are very friendly, actually.
25:12Thank you, you too.
25:13What's your favorite place in Thailand so far?
25:16I haven't had the time to visit everywhere.
25:20I was just at Raleigh Beach a few days ago.
25:23It was really cool.
25:24Maybe I'll tell in one month.
25:26But now, I can tell.
25:28What do you do for a living?
25:29I'm a dancer, actually.
25:31Empire performer.
25:32I thought that you were like an influencer or a model.
25:35Not really, but I like camera.
25:38I like dancing.
25:39So, maybe I'll try one day.
25:41Who knows?
25:42Maybe it will twist me.
25:44What are your future goals?
25:45For now, travel.
25:47Just travel everywhere.
25:49Thank you for your time.
25:51Hello, how are you doing?
25:52Good, thank you.
25:53Where are you from?
25:54England.
25:55What's your best memory in Thailand?
25:56Probably last night, Christmas Eve.
25:58We've just met some people here that we've been traveling with for a bit and then did a pub crawl.
26:03That was it, yeah.
26:04Did you drink a lot?
26:06Yeah.
26:07We were hungover.
26:08And you have a nice dress.
26:10Christmas colored.
26:12What's your plan tonight?
26:13We're going to go get some Pad Thai, have a couple of drinks.
26:16And we've got our friend group that we've made.
26:19We've got each other little presents.
26:20So, we're going to do like a secret Santa.
26:23Yeah.
26:24Why did you decide to come to Thailand?
26:26So, I'm taking a gap year from education.
26:29And me and my sister have always wanted to travel.
26:31So, we're traveling Southeast Asia and then Australia.
26:35You have a lot of free time.
26:36Yeah.
26:36Yeah.
26:37I'm lucky.
26:38What are your future goals?
26:39I want to travel more, learn new cultures, find out new things that I've never thought
26:45could happen.
26:45I'd also like to become a biologist in the near future if it works out.
26:51Oh, you are very smart.
26:52Hopefully.
26:53Thank you for time.
26:55Merry Christmas.
26:56Merry Christmas to you too.
27:27Merry Christmas to you.
