2023-08-29 · YouTube · Salah and Chantal · 16 min

Chantal and Salah arrive in Thailand for their first international trip together. The vlog documents airport and inflight scenes (Qatar Airways meals, entertainment), navigating a very large airport, heat and humidity on arrival, luggage and hotel plans, buying water at the airport, brief commentary about local transportation (motorcycles), and a first-night meal of local halal Thai food (chicken satay, shrimp, rice, fried fish). They’re tired after a long travel day and plan to rest and continue vlogging their trip.
