we made it to the Airbnb after over 24 hours of traveling flying through Hong
0:07
Kong into Asia and now we are in changm Thailand take a peek at
0:12
this this is the Airbnb I'm staying in this is in the Old Village or the old
0:18
city I don't remember what it's called but basically it's like a little square City this is the view from the room
0:24
pretty sick pretty nice little solo pad I'm going to go for my first
0:30
Adventure right now and I'm going to try out a chicken place my buddy Adam told me about and I'm also going to just
0:38
explore and try to figure things out cuz it's kind of difficult to understand the roads
0:44
here and it's also a little difficult to communicate because the language is a
0:52
lot harder to read than things like French or German or Spanish anyways let's rally you guys are going to come
0:59
with me on this first journey through
1:19
changm all right it's locked in let's get it
1:39
[Music]
1:46
it is pretty beautiful here and it is hot full disclosure this backpack's going to be
1:52
heavy but I think it's worth it so I can keep all my equipment on me and film some drone Clips today
2:12
this is cool there's a bunch of shops and
2:21
things this is what my buddy Adam told me to go to SP chicken so let's figure
2:27
out how to get there
3:00
it's very interesting here it's got its own Vibe I definitely
3:06
cannot wait to see more of it Adam sent me a temple in the area so I'm going to
3:13
try to hit that as well today before we grab dinner got a couple hours to kill
3:37
excuse me sorry I think I'm going to rent a moped
3:43
soon too seems risky but seems thrilling which is what this trip is all about so
3:50
it's also like if I was correctly understanding it like5 or $10 a day so that's going to be
3:57
the send of the Lifetime right there look how cool the architecture is
4:10
here the currency is like 34 to a dollar so most of these are a dollar
4:18
hello things are pretty cheap here it's time to grab water and food
4:25
shortly because I'm pretty dehydrated from the trip
4:59
got a figure out where I'm going to be able to fly the Drone around here it seems safe in terms of airspace
5:05
but need somewhere quiet and with a little bit of room to take off so I'll have to figure that out
5:24
[Applause]
5:55
oh it's sweaty out here I'm already earning it see how many steps we can get in this
6:08
trip looks like we're getting to a busier part of town now
6:58
know
7:07
oh I got to put up some filter grid and grounded stickers while I'm out here I just noticed some stickers up and
7:14
I got plenty with me damn that place sold out
7:19
already Adam said the SP chicken will sell out so hopefully I make it there in
7:24
time to get something good
7:30
3 not bad I got to exchange some money soon
7:51
too it's like 10 bucks an hour for a massage here I might have to do that
7:56

50:30
[Applause] the question is where and
50:45
how
50:50
whoa oh just in case I missed it kind of
50:56
all right let's go look at a temple now quite the contrast from that
51:01

51:08
cool wow the
51:20
dragon excuse me can I film it okay thank you
51:29
wow this is very
51:34
beautiful very
51:43
symbolic there's the Intercontinental let's make our way over there
51:59
[Music]
52:13
even this whoa even this tree is sick thank you is this something
52:20
else what is
52:25
it look how cool this is we're going to be going up here later to get some drinks so I'll get a shot of that I
52:32
think it's up there on the roof
52:43
wow I think I just found a good spot to film with I could either go there I see
52:49
more open air space over here let's see
52:57
if I can do this I do not know for
53:05
sure we're going to
53:13
try peep this you can just walk right in I don't know if you want to but you
53:20
can there's definitely a little bit of dirtiness to it
53:28
very cool I'm definitely going to film with the Drone here I hope I don't melt all right I'm going to set this up
53:34
so I can get a some footage of me taking off oh perfect look at this keep this
53:42
literally was put there just so we could film that's motion oh hell no that goes
53:47
all the way down oh no no no no no oh here we go found another one we
53:56
have motion LLC see how it
54:04
looks I got to set this up so we can film and
54:09
not all right that should work let's get it
54:30
right first time flying the Drone in Thailand this is going to be a big day
54:36
let's get some crazy fooie let's capture this beautiful
54:42
city all right
55:08
seems like a pretty safe place to take off we don't have anything above us minimal
55:14
wind we're going to be safe but we're going to get some cool [ __ ] while we're out here for sure
55:28
let's fire her up it's going to take about half a
55:35
minute or a minute to load up and then we're off and from there I'll cut in the
55:41
Drone footage so you can see both
55:48
perspectives haven't flown this thing in a little while now so it'll definitely be interesting
56:04
wow I was in sin mode this whole time that's why I was flying slow we're in an authorization Zone
56:10
let's see what this says home Point updated unable to take off before unlocking what the
56:17
hell oh we got to unlock it y'all
56:31
I got to unlock this this is crazy it must be close to the airport
56:37
still let's get it done I got to set up a hot spot to do it because it requires
56:46
Wi-Fi hopefully this will not cause any issues with T-Mobile overseas
57:06
just got the Drone clap
57:23
Lord I don't know why it's not connecting all right I'm going to cut this because
57:29
we have tactical difficulties unfortunately we ran into some issues on day one of trying to get
57:35
the Drone up we're in an authorization Zone which means that we're near an airport the changm airport and so I need
57:43
to be connected to Wi-Fi to approve our drone which just means we're going to be safe and not flyed near the airport
57:48
which we're not actually that close to it it's probably a small City but the
57:54
Wi-Fi hotspot thing won't work on my phone phone so it's looking like when I get Wi-Fi back at the brib I'll do that
58:01
tonight and then I could fly tomorrow but in the meantime this spot is really cool peep this so I'm going to pull out
58:08
the nice lens on the camera let's see what we can capture I love this like
58:14
River and all the houses and buildings and businesses that back up to it I think that's a very classic thing that
58:20
you see in Asia a lot and I want to capture it so let's do it I'm going to leave this running and pull out the the
58:26
camera let's lock
58:33
in dude look at this rat I just caught that
58:40
motion that's me see I've been here before all
58:48
right I'm pulling out the camera this is going to take a sec I'm going to cut it
