On our trip, we stayed in Chiang Mai for six days and six nights.
13
We had a wonderful time there.
14
The mountains around the old city were so beautiful.
15
The food was delicious and everyone we met was really friendly.
16
I know that a lot of people who watch my videos are Thai or live in Thailand,
17
and some of you have asked me to make a video travelling to Thailand.
18
I had actually already booked this trip to Thailand a few months ago,
19
so it was a coincidence that I could make a video visiting Thailand.
20
A coincidence means that something has happened by chance, and it wasn't planned.
21
In my experience, Chiang Mai was such a peaceful place to be.
22
The streets of the old city felt calm and quiet.
23
There were bright green plants everywhere,
24
and there were lots of colourful houses and interesting patterns on shop fronts.
25
The streets were fun to wander around.
26
It was such a visually interesting place to stay.
27
There were so many nice things to look at.

29
It can get very cold.

Chiang Mai felt warm, colourful and vibrant.
31
It felt great to be in a city so different from where I live.
32
Perhaps if you live in Chiang Mai,
33
you have a different experience from my experience as a tourist.
34
Maybe if you live there,
35
it feels normal to you.
36
Sometimes when we live somewhere for a long time,
37
we can get used to it.
38
We stop noticing how special it is.
39
Do you feel that way about your city?
40
When I read your comments on my videos,
41
it reminds me that Melbourne is still a great place to live and to visit too.
42
Traveling from Melbourne, we first landed in Bangkok and stayed there for two nights before flying to Chiang Mai.
43
Bangkok felt like a large and bustling city.
44
Bustling means very busy and full of activity.
45
There was lots of traffic, people and noise.
46
Chiang Mai felt quieter and smaller.
47
It was easier to relax in.
48
In Bangkok, it was easy to get around using public transport.
49
On the other hand, Chiang Mai was walkable.
50
Walkable means that you can easily go places on foot.
51

52
We could go at our own pace,
53
but to explore the mountains we needed someone to drive us.
54
On this day we walked from our accommodation to a cafe for breakfast.
55
The staff gave us iced water and a small biscuit when we sat down.
56
We ordered a serve of mango sticky rice each.
57
The ladies working at the cafe presented it so beautifully.
58
They decorated the plate with lovely flowers from their garden.
59
The colours of the flowers complemented the mango.
60
If something complements another, it means that it matches well or it makes something look better together.
61
The colours looked beautiful together.
62
They also added passion fruit.
63
The lady who served us said that she liked to eat the sour passion fruit after the sweet mango.
64
We agreed.
65
It was delicious.
66
She even gave us a small bag of biscuits to take home.
67
How thoughtful.
68
After breakfast, we caught a taxi to the coconut market.
69
It was definitely too far to walk.
70
The coconut market is held in a coconut field outside the city.
71
It's a weekend market with food, drinks and small shops.
72
Weekend markets are popular in Australia too,
73
but they're not usually in a coconut field.
74
Here you could walk across wooden bridges between rows of coconut trees.
75
It was very picturesque.
76
Picturesque means beautiful, like a picture.
77
Can you hear the music playing?

A musician was playing live music.

We sat and listened to him play for a while and enjoyed watching his funny little dog.
80
He told us that it's not common to see coconut fields around Chiang Mai
81
and that coconut farms are more common in southern Thailand.
82
That's because of the climate.
83
Climate means the usual weather in a place over time.
84
For example, some plants grow better in hot, humid climates.
85
We walked over narrow bridges between the trees.
86
These ladies in front of me are stopping to take photos.
87
The lady on the The lady on the right has bobbed down to take her photo.
88
The lady on the left is standing up to take hers.

91
There are two people sitting on a swing having their photo taken.
92
On the other side of this bridge there was a small petting zoo.
93
Children were feeding baby goats.
94
One of them has made it outside of the fence.
95
They're very cute.
96
This lady was wearing a great outfit.
97
The grass that she's feeding to the goats complements her green dress.
98
The goats were nibbling at the grass.
99
Nibbling means taking very small bites.
100
We decided to wander through the stalls and grab a bite to eat.
101
There's lots of food being sold at this market.
102
It all smells fresh and tasty.
103
Because we're at the coconut market we decided to get some coconut pancakes to share.
104
They were cooked on a flat metal plate called a griddle.
105
It's flat like a pan but built into the cooking surface.
106
We also bought some green pandan pancakes from the next stall.
107
We took our treats to a table in the middle of the coconut field.
108
People were sitting all around us at different tables among the coconut trees to eat their snacks.
109
We shared our pancakes and used little skewers to pick them up.
110
They were warm and soft.
111
We ate them pretty quickly.
112
We couldn't visit the coconut market without drinking from a coconut.
113
So we visited this store that sold fresh coconuts.
114
The coconuts were big and round.
115
They're green on the outside but the top has been cut back to make it easier to open.
116
They put a purple flower on the side for decoration and we have two straws poking out of the top.
117
The coconut water was refreshing on a hot day.
118
Lastly we followed this path down into a garden which led to a tea house.
119
Here you can have a drink and take in the coconut fields.
120
Later we returned to the old city to visit a temple called Wat Jiediluong.
121
The temple looked ornate.

123
The gold was sparkling in the sunlight.
124
At the entrance, incense was burning.
125
A lady was placing more incense into these pots.
126
The smoke from the incense was blowing in the breeze.
127
There were baskets of bright orange marigold flowers.
128
In the basket on the left,
129
some are wrapped in a banana leaf.
130

131
Architecture is the design and style of buildings.

133
and place them on this bench over here underneath this purple lantern.
134
Alongside this building there were pots of lotus leaves.
135
The pots were filled with water for the lotus to grow in.

147
The owner of the restaurant's dog came to say hello.
148
The owner also gave us some mosquito spray so we wouldn't get bitten.
149
We ordered khao soi, a northern Thai noodle dish.
150
It came in a large bowl with crispy noodles on top.
151
I enjoy spicy food so I was given some extra chilli too.
152
We also ordered mango sticky rice again.
153
I think we ate one every single day of our trip.

156
There was still so much we didn't see.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
