alright guys good morning today we are
going for a road trip up the coast to
the border of Myanmar leaving from 1000
kilometers outside of Cox's Bazar here
at mermaid Beach Resort we are going to
follow the world's longest sea beach
world's longest uninterrupted sea beach
and go to the Myanmar border should be
an interesting action-packed day super
excited bringing the drone gonna get
some cool shots do a bit of exploring
today so let's not talk anymore in
jumping then
[Music]
okay so we've been driving for maybe an
hour and a half of that beautiful
coastline you can see it's just super
wild and now it's kind of raining but
we've arrived in a little village here
near than the mi border and it's kind of
known as like a black market kind of
smuggling place tourists don't really
come here and you can instantly tell
it's you get lots of stairs around here
but it's interesting having a look
around hopefully the weather cools down
a bit and we can find like a location to
go in the nature and have a look around
we actually drove past a small bro
hangar refugee camp one of the old ones
from maybe the 90s because our hangar
refugees have actually been coming to
Bangladesh since like 80s and 90s all
the way up to now and they've had the
recent huge influx lately but hopefully
we go to the refugee camp tomorrow and
explore more of that but right now we're
just walking around in the madness of
this little town here but it's lovely
it's pretty chill actually and the
people are super friendly there yes I'm
gonna jump back in the car and see what
else we can come across anyway
I got so we've arrived at some big
walkway I think over in this direction
is Myanmar so those mountains you see
and the distance is me another will walk
up here a bit and I'll show you a bit
more see if we can find a good location
might be able to get the drone Apple I'm
not sure hello people are so interested
behind us here there is the me and Matt
or Burmese border this is actually a
region where a lot of the refugees
crossed fleeing from Myanmar this is the
record region extreme conflict around
here on the other side and the city we
just went to is called Tech NAB and
that's one of the main places that the
refugees aim for so cool to come and see
this part of the story cause I've only
seen the camps so kind of called a pizza
together but from here I think we're
going to drive even further south
because we're kind of an eye on a
peninsula right now down the bottom of
the Bangladesh I'll put up a little
typical Maps image so you know where we
are but anyway it's really windy I think
we might walk back along this boardwalk
here
I'll try get the drone up because it's
not as windy over there and just give
you a perspective of this whole place
the border being the river me am I get
out of this wind
let's leave the drone up and hopefully
get it back and then we'll get on the
road again
[Music]
Oh guys so just flew the drone there as
you see to get too many shots it
basically just went straight up from
this point because it's super windy
don't want to lose the drone and to the
animals that I think you know get it
back you can see the locals absolutely
love it jump back in the bus and go
further south and see what else we can
come across some more like remote
villages it's super nice here got some
friends okay so we drove over those
extremely bumpy roads and we can't get
any further because they're working on
them still right now I think this might
be reclaimed plan we're just trying to
get up here and just how did I see how
far we go because apparently there's
another settlement down here and this is
like completely off the grid like
tourists go to kind of Cox bazaar and
then they go to tit nap even less tech
never swear we were the first little
town we're just doing a bit of exploring
definitely a rarity for us to be here
because we're getting so many stairs and
hello I don't know what this is gonna
turn into my turn into nothing good look
what we're walking down
kind of a weird situation but do what we
can come across
okay so now I Drive it just pulled up
next to us we're walking through so he
must have passed the sketchy part of the
road now he's telling us to get into
certain make life easier
all right guys not the best place to
block and it's super windy but this
whole area what I think is going on here
is they try to reclaim land
you don't know Bangladesh is had huge
risk let's not add risk is happening
every day
and losing land into the sea fools
around here they're trying to reclaim
land all these big bricks that you
seeing stacked up on the side of the
roads it's all to stop the land falling
into the sea there's a huge sandbags all
around him
you can see the old sandbags you know
still there and they're just replacing
them and it's disappearing it's quite
disturbing actually over here you can
see the sea the sea actually looks like
it's higher than us so weird concept
that's the Indian Ocean if you're
wondering we're basically at the very
bottom tip of Bangladesh almost as far
south as you can go this is a village
here so the village is here right there
on the other side of these sandbags is
the ocean and it's rising you know I
don't know if you can hear me I'm gonna
go they can try get the drone up to try
and give you a perspective of just how
insane the water issue is here and then
we'll see what we can go over to super
windy I probably won't go far with the
drone turned out to be a pretty
fascinating day
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
alright guys got a few shots in couldn't
take it very far again it was flying
into wind and it was telling me land as
soon as possible so got a few shots so
you can see all around is just over that
direction there's big fields full of
water and you can see the sandbags going
all the way along the beach in there
building concrete structures behind the
sandbags
[Music]
so just stumbled across b4 2013 brand to
join with the kids at Cinco circle to
see the local life like this
I'm just squatting in front of a pile of
bricks so you can hear me from the
window that was one of those experiences
that you kind of only believe happens
you know on something some kind of an
adventure movie you're just walking
along the beach and suddenly you're in a
full-blown game of football but all the
locals what a cool little area basically
like I was saying that this is almost as
far south as you can go and Bangladesh
before you go into the Indian Ocean
there Pacific all to explore this part
of the country if you have a look at
this they've got just piles and piles of
brick here and they're laying them all
down by hand you can see there and they
want to do this whole area by hand with
bricks unbelievable
okay guys so we are back what a epic day
that was real kind of off the path kind
of adventure definitely the highlight of
the day was playing football with those
kids on the beach in these remote
locations where they never see
foreigners you know they could probably
count on one hand how many times they
saw a foreigner in the last decade or so
you know so super special experience for
us they're gonna end the video there
tomorrow I think we're gonna go check
out the refugee camp being there before
but I just want to you know keep on
putting out information about this
crisis because that's why underrated in
terms of you know the worldwide media
it'd be cool to raise more awareness
about it as it's an ongoing thing and
it's not going anywhere it's been going
on since you know the 80s and the 90s
that the situations obviously escalated
a lot sorry about the drone footage some
of it was pretty epic I couldn't like go
exploring with the drone because I
wanted to keep it exactly above my head
in case it got blown out of the sky
anyway guys thank you so much for
watching and I'll see you in the next
video and in case and I see you get up
to do and get anything and goodnight
[Music]
