All About Thailand

Hello, my name is Mike, and welcome to All About Thailand by Lonely Traveler Productions.

It’s so lovely to have you with me again — really is. Pull up a chair, make yourself comfortable, go and grab yourself a drink — a nice cup of tea, a coffee, whatever you fancy — and let’s settle in together.

Today, I’m carrying on with our series all about homestays and in this episode, we’re talking about Pattaya.

Pattaya a name most people know, but there’s far more to this place than first meets the eye. And homestays? They show you that quieter, realer side — the one that feels like home, not just somewhere to visit. So come with me, and let’s take a closer look.

Come with us…

Today, we’re starting a new series looking at homestays around Thailand, and in this first episode, we’re heading north to Chiang Mai.

Chiang Mai is famous for its temples, mountains, food and rich Lanna culture, but one of the best ways to experience the real Thailand is to step away from the usual hotels and spend some time staying with local people.

In this episode, we’ll look at what homestays in Chiang Mai are really like, what you can expect, and why staying with a Thai family can give you a very different experience from simply visiting as a tourist.

So, let’s take a look at homestays in Chiang Mai and discover another side of Thailand.

Welcome to another All About Thailand – Special Edition. I’m Mike.

Today, we’re talking about something that really matters when visiting Thailand — respect.

We’ll look at Thai culture, traditions, temples, manners, clothing, and some of the simple things we can do to show respect to the Thai people and the country we’re visiting.

Because Thailand isn’t just somewhere we travel to — for a short time, it becomes our home away from home. And when you’re a guest in someone else’s home, respect goes a long way.

Hello and welcome to All About Thailand. I'm Mike.

So, sit back, relax, and make yourself comfortable, because in today's episode we're going to talk about something that is quite difficult to put into words — why Thailand feels so different.

There is just something about Thailand. It's not simply the weather, the food or the places you visit. It's the atmosphere, the people, the culture, and the way of life.

And we're going to explore that by looking at three very different places — Bangkok, Pattaya and Chiang Mai.

So, let's take a little journey through those three destinations and explore what makes them different, what they have in common, and why, when you're in Thailand, it just feels different.
