Introduction to Xploring Thailand channel

This video introduces new viewers (and hopeful subscribers) to the purpose of the channel and the makeup of the topics.

The goal of the channel is to be different from the majority of the YouTube Thailand videos. Instead of focusing on my life and opinions in/of Thailand, I want to provide background and historical information about the sites presented. I also do not want to do videos about "Top 10" this or that, or my favorite/least favorite things about Thailand. My goal is to find the hidden gems of Thailand and present them. Places that people would not normally find on travel websites.

We will begin the journey within Chiang Mai, my home base. Once I get proper transportation, this channel will begin to explore outward of the city to find those unique and less-traveled travel destinations. Once the site is monetized, I would like to take the channel into the many provinces that get overlooked by Thailand tourists. In this final goal, the channel is focused on the Thailand tourist who has already done Bangkok, the Chiang Mai region, and the beach areas of Pucket and Pattaya. There is so much more to Thailand than those four regions. It is kind of like saying that a person who has visited New York City, Washington DC, and LA have seen America. That is completely false.

Each place of topic will hopefully have three or more videos about it.
* The first will be a general overview of the site and the background information I have researched.
* The second video will be at least one interview of someone who has a more in-depth knowledge about the site we are visiting.
* The final video with me making a summation of the site with suggestions and positive notes. I will probably throw in a surprise at the end of the videos.

There you have it. Now you do not need to watch the video...Ha Ha. I do want us to go on this journey together. It is because of your interests that I make progress. Sure, it would be nice to be monetized (Subscribe to the channel and LIKE this video), but I get the most out of the channel by researching the information and presenting it to you.

I am also thinking about just finding interesting Thai people who have some English skill, and just interviewing them. First, I just want to get the channel up and running, get some subscribers to make the effort worthwhile, and go from there.

The success of this channel relies on you. Subscribe now, and if you know anyone who might like this content, ask them to check out the channel and subscribe too. I will evaluate the channel in time to see if it is worth all the research and preparation, or if this channel needs to find a new direction. It is up to you. I hope you do join me on this excursion of Thailand. I promise I will always work to better the quality of the video production and the output. I am a YouTube newbie, so be patient with me.

Happy day to all.
