Can't wait to get out of this hell hole and move to Thailand!! I Love having Thai citizenship and being from the nicest part of Thailand... "The North".
why would any fareng wanna go all that way, just to eat mac or kfc..
if that the reason ..you might be better off in european countrys or stay at home..
come to thailand to know about our culture, and eat thai food ok..other wise go to other countrys instead..i am sure fareng come to thailand for knowing what we have to offer .. and not that rubbish food she filming at mac or kfc ok..
Why in the world would you move around the world and try to make it just like the United States? I feel sorry for anyone who moves and insulates themselves like it look like these people do. Sad.
This is just amazing! How to move to Thailand from the USA and not experience anything of Thai culture. Come on, come here convert all these heathens to Christianity,it doesn't matter their religion is older than yours and they are very comfortable with it!. You can stay insulated from any experience of Thailand while you are here!
This is obviously an info-mercial for Grace International School in Chiang Mai, to assure potential teachers or families that things are "just like back home". When I started to read about Chiang mai I was really turned off by this video because I am more interested in experiencing things more Thai than American. However, I understand that there are many people out there who are only interested in having the comforts of home while living in a foreign country. Hopefully one can have either.
sawadee kap, I loved Thailand and Chiang Mai, the part in Thailand of my holiday was amazing, have seen a beautiful way of being, love the way of the buddha, although I don't believe in a "god". It is a very special country and Chiang Mai is so great, try to adapt to the Thai way of being and all will work out fine and do the sonkran festival, because you have to do that at least 1 time in your life, it's AMAZING!!! had a great month
Why would I want to spend thousands of dollars to travel to a country on the other side of the world...and then go to the mall or KFC, Starbucks or Pizza Hat ? ? ? I have those thing just down the street from my home in Canada. I can walk there.
@Catoni52 - If all you want to get out of life is experiencing KFC and Pizza Hut, you're really missing the point of life, now aren't you? My bad. How can I expect you to understand. Those who don't know, don't know they don't know. Enjoy your myopic way of thinking and living. As you were.
@ThaiBox7788 But who are you talking to, ThaiBox7788? To Thai people, or to some imaginary farangs possessed of magical powers? After all, if there is one source for the "Westernization" you dread, it's the dread TV set, and a lot of Thai are glued to it. The people driving Mercedes-Benzes are Thai. Tourists come & go and have very little impact.
Besides, Thailand is not nearly as "Westernized" as you imagine. It's a Buddhist nation, and learning Thai is a practical necessity.
Most Americans are so afraid of other countries they would never consider living somewhere else. I have been to Thailand twice and I would live there in a minute! When I tell people I go to Thailand or any other Asian country alone they all ask is it safe? I guess this promo video is to try to reassure dumb Westerners that it's safe and you can get a Big Mac and go to the mall just like back home! Anyone that has been there would never eat at those places! Local food is 100 times better!
@pooltables2u Hi, just a comment from someone living in Chiang Mai. After perhaps 2-3 years of loving Thai food, older habits come back and you start wanting some variety. That's when you discover that places like Pizza Hut are typically completely filled with Thai people who want a change too! The other thing that happens to nearly everyone is the day comes when you want a burger (or an enchilada) more than anything.
The variety of restaurants in Chiang Mai is a strength, not a weakness. :)
Oh no ! ! I've been thinking of going to Thailand and Chiang Mai because it would be exotic and so much different than the U.S. and Canadian North American cities. Now I find KFC and Starbucks and a city much like one in Canada or the U.S. I think I'll save my money instead of going to a place that has lost its character to become so westernised. What a shame.
Church in Thailand?? i hope they dont go around tellin other ppl their God is the only superior god. Remember what the spaniards did to the Mayan and Inca ppl?
@rotcataergeht Spaniards: i come here in the name of God to convert u barbaric ppl to catholic... of course let us rob u and take ur gold and fine jewels first.
Air-conditioning only at night? Only if you don't mind a temperature all year in the 80's with high humidity during the day, sitting in front of an electric fan and taking three or four showers a day. Without air-con, the only place I can stay cool is in the mall or in the swimming pool.

Too bad if chiang mai were in another 700 km up north it can have a lovely weather.
Like Hanoi.
Summer in Chiang Mai can be one of the most intense and hottest in Thailand.
Lampang beat it i think in 2001 reached maximum of 50 degrees celsius
