Explore KOH SAMET by Yacht
Explore Koh Samet island, Thailand in 2025, traveling by yacht 🌴⛵️
After mooring the Beneteau Oceanis 50 sailing boat about 200 metres offshore we take the rubber dinghy across to buy entry tickets at Koh Samet Ferry Terminal. I found rental scooters and hit the road for a 3-hour exploration around the island. From hidden coves and scenic viewpoints to the vibrant local culture, we try to uncover the best of Koh Samet, all while soaking up the sunshine and the laid-back vibes. 🌊🌞
Whether you're dreaming of a tropical getaway or planning your next Thailand vacation, this 2025 vlog is a good starting guide to Koh Samet’s beauty and adventure!

SAILING DOODLES is one of the most popular sailing channels in the world, known for beautiful ladies and beautiful sail boats. I was given the opportunity to learn to sail from Pattaya to Koh Samet off the coast of Thailand this week on their famous old yacht - a 50 foot Beneteau Oceania.
In a homage to Sailing La Vagabond, Sailing Parlay Revival and Sailing Doodles, I will talk about my time being locked down at home in Australia and the countless hours I spent watching these crews and dreaming of adventures like they were having.
Departing Ocean Marina, Na Jomtien, Chon Buri Thailand, I get to sail north to Koh Sichang, then all the way down to Sattahip and beyond to Koh Samet Island where I hire a motorbike and make a travel film there. This is the 1st in a Sailing Thailand series of 3 videos I'm filming and releasing this week :)

Tourists RUINED Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai Night Life in 2024 is very busy. Western tourism is booming in this northern Thailand city, though it may be suffering elsewhere in the country.

RETIRED in a HAMMOCK by a River: Tak Province

In TAK Province, Thailand, I find solitude in a sleepy Thai village by the Ping River where I've decided I'll buy a hammock, string it up between two trees and retire here. The motorcycle ride from Khampaeng Phet city to Tak City has been the most pleasant riding so far. Much of the journey could be undertaken away from the main highways and instead wind gently alongside the meandering Ping Riv...

Another fire video Sam. Your channel is exciting 👌🏼
This must of been such a mad time. Bring back more Sammy and LeeLee content. These videos of you two are so much better then your solo stuff. So kuch more genuine and real. You actually look happy here it's good to see. Hope to see more of yous both soon 🙏🩵♾️
This must of been such a mad time. Bring back more Sammy and LeeLee content so much better more real youre just actually happy in these videos so good to see 🙏🩵♾️
great video broo!
Solo traveled, Ukraine, Russia, czech republic, Spain, Italy, India, then lived 5 years Thailand, 2 years Vietnam, 2 years Philippines and 1 in Cambodia, took 15 years. Best way to travel. I have been to many other places not listed on this singular trip.
Not really keen on your boating videos mate...stick to the usual on bike or when in pattaya...but keep yourself busy
Don’t listen to this guy Sam 😂
15 years ago when I moved to CM, it was a quiet town with some backpackers here and there. There wasn't any international flights and you had to go thru BKK to go anywhere else. When the Chinese movie "Lost in Thailand" came out, the Chinese started coming here like crazy, especially with the Zero Baht Tours and flights were coming in from everywhere. This is what CM and Thailand wanted, they rely on tourism so heavily and after the pandemic they were hurting. They catered to the Chinese and now they are trying to get Indian tourists here. Not real sure why the influx of Westerners, but think it probably has to do with the legalization of marijuana and the digital nomad visa.
Thank you for the history 🙏🏻
Looks like good vibes!! From what I've heard about Pattaya I was expecting a much sleazier vibe.
@@iwantabiscuitplz it is what you make it, in my opinion. The way I look at it, it’s a beautiful seaside fishing town, a melting pot of outsiders from all of Thailand, residing & working together to make a living and mostly, send those earning back to their families elsewhere. Foreigners visiting, for the most part seem to understand the customs and play by the rules. It really is a very incredibly safe and peaceful place.
❤❤❤
🙏🏻
Going nomad is really suiting you Sam. Really entertaining, beautiful looking Thailand content is now abundant. Loving it. Well done mate
Thank you Sir 🙌🏻
I was there in 1989. Other than the piers, I don't recognize anything.
Fascinating!!!
Looks like you are having fun 👍👍🍻🍻
Cheers Skipper 🍻
A tip for you - More of the bars and ladies and less of you getting in the way.
Watch the Halloween one 🎃 It’s an improvement I think
Brother i have my national driving lisecence no the international can i get one , my driving liscence is from Chile

How can I get me there?

Good to see you back
I was there in 1988 and there were no roads.

Love Samet. That island is a heck of a gem so close to Bangkok & Pattaya.
Great vlog mate keep them coming 👍
HF !! 1,500 baht / 30 minutes?
Yeah on second thoughts, pretty $$$
In my defence, I’d slept on a rocking boat for 3 days. No brain
@@GoneAdrift I hope it was an experience to never forget. I have slept on sailboats in the Sea of Cortez, but I was 15 then. Poor conditions are not as bad aat that age.

wondering here say you put an extra stamp on youre international licence (we buy the international licence here at the dutch version of the AAA and there verry eazy to forge ) to be able to drive a motorbike : do they check(ed) youre actual foreighn drivers licence ? and did the eyetest allso include reading off the eye chart ?
Good Call to not go back in . They've seen potential prey and the path it took . They could easily reposition to take advantage of the next one OR the same one if it comes back
Nice video😎Must take the opportunity to ask if it is true that there are no ATMs on the island (going there myself in 2 weeks). Best regards John

Staying anywhere more that a week or even half a week it's better to rent an apartment. Hotels charge premium prices.
agreed!
Hey Sam, If you feel like catching up for a beer or something let me know. Crows Nest or similar. Or I'll be in Patts in mid Jan. Cheers, Dietmar

seems you are showing us your deep australian roots of love and respect for time spent on water. I share the same inner comfort living in the west U.S.A. it's a large part of who we are. don't ever lose that.
