American fam's first visit to Phuket, Thailand

After spending a magical 3 days living among a community of free range elephants in the jungles of Changrai, Thailand, we’re flying south to Phuket.

This rainforested, mountainous island in the Andaman Sea is home to some of the country’s most beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters. But since we’re only here for two nights, we have to find as many authentic, local experiences as possible so that we can get to know the culture of Phuket in one perfect day.

ABOUT US

We’re the Lockwoods. And we’re traveling the world to experience—up close and in person—all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise be consuming only through textbooks and TV. We think it’s a better way to learn and we’re working hard to fund this little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people.

Your channel showed us Phuket in a different activities other Youtubers usualy do. It proves that Thailand has a lot to offer for everyone young or older.

I like that your family focusses on activities, culture, experiences, historical facts etc. You're learning and teaching your kids at the same time and experiencing something new as a family every second. Most family youtubers are just doing mindless stuff when they travel. I think you guys will be the #1 family travel vloggers in the world.

[Iksmohj]

This beautiful family just doesn't travel, they're informative as well.stay safe always guys!greetings to you.enjoy your travel😊❤👋🇵🇭

[sukonsiripoksup]

How lucky your children are. All the thinkable tours you prepared for them in Thailand are such the great experience. Stay safe and happy all the way through my dear.

Your trips differentiated from other youtubers. I liked your style of making videos. Your trips were full of special activities with local peoples. It was rare to see in other videos. 👍👍👍

[wichetleelamanit]

As a local person, it is so happy to know that you enjoy traveling in Thailand. Thank you for visiting my country.

[darinyaphorns]

I never see another channel do this like you guys, I love it. This make me miss my hometown Phangnga (near Phuket) 🥰🥰

[sutthidasukkamol]

Such a great idea to get kids learning out of the room, good or bad, they're on your sight and plus you guys have a lot of informations to tellus/your kids along the vlogs.

[ingridnh]

Super fun, interesting and authentic experiences! ❤

[prasitchee]

Love ur vlogs it’s fun adventures and educational. Picking pineapple from the farm and eating it, I’m sure it’s so delicious. And also picking coconuts, and eating, drinking the juice
(Water) is so good. In the Phil. a coconut tree is called the tree of life, bcoz every single thing from the coconut tree is being used, from the fruit, the shell of the fruit, the bark, the leaves, the roots, we use it for something.
As usual the vlog is enjoyable & fun.😊❤️

Guys, you make high quality videos all the time! I truly believe that you deserve a much higher/wider audience exposure. Definitely travel channel worthy.

[samartlimvanabul]

You guys make interesting content. Thank you for studying the way of life of Phuket people and disseminating it to everyone.

[leedongzoong]

oh wow i like this video It made me learn how to collect pineapples and tap rubber. Including you and the children. I am having fun and learning with you. Thank you.
And I am enjoying watching the children picking coconuts from the trees. Take the cover to bring it to make dessert as well.
And I didn't miss a minute.
I'll wait for the next episode

Pineapple in tagaytay Philippines is very sweet. I never had that kind of pineapple anywhere in the country.

[PNT]

Gosh! this is great! thank you. I haven’t never seen any YouTube with anything like this around Phuket before. I will definitely do the same next time I go to Thailand.

[cheerapongpromsri]
