We spent an amazing week on Koh Lipe in Thailand, travelling with our two boys who are two and three. After a few months now back in Portugal on our homestead, we have only just found time to edit this video. Travelling with kids can be a challenge, when when you find the perfect spot for a family holiday then not much can go wrong - not even a tropical thunder storm can ruin it!

Thanks for reposting the working link again! 👌
They are sooo beautiful and affordable. Definitely putting them on my list for my future travels.
It worked 🤗🤗
One of those beautiful days where you're glad just to be alive - fresh fish, fruit, swimming, sunshine. Little Sawyer's cautious nature melts my heart.
It was such a beautiful day friend ❤️❤️
Seeing the family slow motion playing in the rain with such a beautiful soundtrack was absolutely beautiful!
Thanks Ann! I actually cried a little bit when I edited that scene. 😊😊❤️❤️🙏🙏
Wow. Now, that is what I call paradise. Crusoe and Sawyer are 2 very fortunate little boys experiencing so many different cultures.
Can't get over how quickly they have grown.
Thanks Sandra. We hope it stands them well in life. ❤️❤️
I love the way John helped Sawyer feel safe, jumping off the boat.
Thanks Mary ❤️❤️
It was lovely seeing Dad teaching his
sons
Crusoe & Sawyer how to fish during the big day out, on the little Thai wooden boat and showing how to put a small beautiful fish back into the water.
Thanks Lesley ❤️❤️
What a wonderful surprise! Thanks to the Newby's I got trip to Asia! Since I'm completely unable to travel anymore it's such a delight to me! Oh how I would love love love a good swim in the crystal clear water!? Then the joy of seeing children truly enjoying themselves out side in fresh air!!💓💓💓💓💓💓
We’re so glad we could take you virtually with us Linda ❤️❤️
Oh I love swimming in the rain! It’s so much fun to watch the boys enjoying themselves ❤
Thanks Tammy!
I'd say 100 bucks well spent, a lovely day on the boat, fishing, relaxing, then swimming, and a bbq to cook your fish, perfect 🥰
BEST 100 Bucks ever! ❤️❤️❤️☀️🌴
I love how capable Crusoe is with handling the fish. He's such an old soul! And credit to your parenting for giving him the space to be so independent when safe.
❤️❤️❤️
You're family is such an inspiration. I love seeing every moment of joy. This episode brought me to tears! 💛
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was also moved to tears!
Tara and John seeing Crusoe fishing with his dad and agreeing to put the little fish back in the water after seeing how pretty it was, was so sweet. Little Sawyer fishing with dad is just to sweet for this world. I reckon that was the best 100 bucks spent and braaiing the fish on the beach epic, bet it was delicious and the boys faces when they saw the water melon. What an experience.
What a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing your vacation. I’m in bed today with low blood pressure and in hospital yesterday, so I can’t think of a better thing to watch than the Newby’s having fun. ❤
I lived in Thailand back in the late 60’s w/ my parents. I love how you are raising your kiddos!!! They are the luckiest boys - and you are doing an amazing job!!!
What an amazing adventure!! This truly brought tears to my eyes! Thank you for sharing this with us 😊
Thanks Nancy!
Ah thankyou watching out on the ocean with a warm breeze on your face brighten my day
Thanks Marjorie!
Beautiful amazing pictures , and memories made with your beautiful sons xx thankyou for bring us on your adventures xx
Thank you Wendy. ❤️❤️
What an amazing day for the family and as always the boys never cease to amaze me. They are so outgoing with Sawyer being a little more reserved than his big brother. That is a joy to see growing up thank you for sharing them with us ❤❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
A spectacular day! Loved watching the joy on Crusoe's & Sawyer's faces as they swam with the rain pouring down. A memorable day for all by the look of things.
I absolutely love this!!! Your day at the secluded beach is a dream come true. Those shots of you all smiling and enjoying swimming in the rain are wonderful.
Thanks so much!! ❤️
Those smiles are everything! Nothing, nothing better.
❤️❤️❤️
Seeing you sitting in the sea while it is raining, brought back happy (but hilarious) memories of Teaching on Bougainville (annexed from the Solomon Islands in the 1890s), and a group of four (plus our guide), having to sit out a cyclone in the sea, for about four hours. Hail on the head is incredibly painful. We had travelled to a small uninhabited island to the south of Bougainville so no shelter although there were plenty of palm trees and forest inland. Our lovely guide did not recommend trying to hide out in the forest so the sea it was. Nothing like fantasising about meals we'd like to eat, while the rain pounded down. Just one of many fabulous memories from that time.
Thanks Lynnette. Lovely comment friend ❤️🙏
Such a magical day! You all seemed so happy splashing, jumping and swimming in that pristine blue sea. That certainly does look like paradise. No vendors or crowds. Just beautiful sand, sea and jungle.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Thanks so much Taudi ❤️
How lovely! It did look like paradise! Must admit to a touch of jealousy, it's so grey and rainy here! Thanks for takinf me with you! ❤
Thanks Claire! Grey here too, although we did get a bit of sun today. This video was filmed a while ago from our trip to Borneo. We’ve been so busy on the farm, this was the first opportunity to edit the vlog. Tomorrow we have sun on the farm though, good news!! ❤️❤️❤️
Enjoy your holiday, you so deserve it. You both work so hard. I love your boys. They are so natural and happy.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
So lovely to see the blue sky, and warm sands on such a cold day as it is for me here, in Devon today ☀🏝🏖
Swimming in the rain now firmly added to my holiday bucket list! 😃🪣📝
*Hugs * to you all! xx
I’ve just returned from my 5th trip to Thailand. Beautiful people, stunning scenery, lovely weather & amazing food…what more could you ask for??!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your holiday with us all Newbies. Enjoy Paradise!! ❤️❤️
5 times!!! Sooo cool Kathryn. What a great place to be. And yum yum! ❤️❤️
@ it’s usually a cheap holiday from Melbourne (Australia)…except during the Christmas period (when I was there!). Still had a great holiday!!
I love your children. What a life and experiences they have shared. ❤❤
Your videos are deeply soothing to grief. It helps to remember the best moments in life. Thank you so much. ❤
Wow, just thinking of the boys looking back on this day and how safe they felt with mom and dad, having the time of their life. Memories they will never forget. The smiles, the sunshine, the water, the beautiful beach....it was just amazing.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful day, there’s nothing like family time under a beautiful sunny sky, even if it rains❤
❤️❤️
Beautiful beaches and it truly looks like paradise, as I watch the snow fall outside. ⛄Thanks for brightening my day!
❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful day in paradise! Wonderful photography! Great seeing y'all enjoying a relaxing family holiday. Thanks for sharing! 🥰
Thank you Trish! ❤️❤️
One day both your boys will look back at these places you take them across the world and appreciate how lucky they were🙏
Thanks Steven!
Un día maravilloso, lo mejor ver como han disfrutado los niños 💚
Thank you Patricia! ❤️🙏
What a wonderful experience you all had. It was so nice watching the boys learning to fish, swim and having a bbq. You’re absolutely amazing parents taking the boys with you on your journeys. Loved watching this and wow do I love seeing Thailand again. It’s so beautiful. ❤❤❤❤
Thanks Anne! A terrific day friend. ❤️❤️
Super clog…Thanks for bringing us along. Loved watching the boys in the water❤
Thank you so much friend. thats very kind!
Wow! Looks beautiful! It is such a joy to watch the boys enjoy life and nature 😊 ❤
Crusoe was so amazed with the number of fish being pulled out, his expression, and comments were so cute ❤😊. Brave little boys jumping into the sea 🌊 ❤. Keep exploring, being brave and enjoying life ❤❤
❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
This was such a lovely surprise video! I didn't even realize you guys were on thectoad again 😊
That moment in the rain was pure magic ✨️ and the boys are loving it so much. Travelling just feeds the soul ❤
Thanks Alexandra. This was a video we had saved up from when we were in Borneo. Finally found time to edit the video! ❤️❤️❤️
I agree with Tara. This is Paradise! Crusoe is right. We should stay 2 whole weeks! What an incredible day. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Beautiful moments to remember!!!! Lovely experience for the kids!!!!😍
i thank you, from the bottom of my heart, that you make it possible for the boys th experience the living of planet earth in so differtent forms. I love you, be blessed. kim from Germany
Wow! Brought back so many of the feels of family vacations on the water. Thank you for bringing us along.
Thanks Barbara ❤️❤️❤️
What a fantastic day fishing swimming and bar-b-q on the beach , what a welcome break away from all the building work going on with your wonderful home in Portugal. I must say it is fantastic that you have got the boys being able to jump in the sea without fear at their age , as a child living in wales with all the wonderful choices of beaches I was never taught to swim then when my parents moved to England I taught myself at the age of 13, I think every child should learn to swim in the early years , so well done . The colour of the sea is beautiful and I would have loved the fresh fish. 👍❤
Thanks Caroline ❤️❤️
Beautiful video John and Tara…..thanks for sharing these memories with us all…❤Julie 😊
Thanks Julie ❤️❤️❤️
What an incredible day you had in Thailand! Sign me up! The boys are such adventurous souls just like their parents!!!
❤️🙏❤️
What a marvelous trip. I just love seeing the boys growing in their knowledge of the world and their bond together is so special.
Thank you Kit!
I agree Tara! That was truly paradise. 🏝️
Interesting to learn a little more of John’s time in Finland. 🎣
Now this is my kind of holiday under the sun! I have the best memories with my 3 children in the water. Another memorable vlog.😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉❤
Thank you Irma! ❤️❤️
Magical! Swimming in the ocean with rain should be on everyone’s bucket list ❤
Agreed Penny! ❤️❤️
What a beautiful vacation. Your boys are too cute. My favorite vlog to watch and explore places I've never been.
Thank you so much George ❤️❤️
Such a beautiful episode…the swimming in the rain scenes I had to watch twice, it was so movingly edited. Really lovely. Your boys are gorgeous adventurers, so refreshing to see them so relaxed in new surroundings. Well done Mum and Dad! 😊
Thank you Jules ❤️❤️
Yes, it looks like paradise. How wonderful to experience all together. Well done and memories that will last forever. Wish you could stop time and just live in those moments.
Thank you Roger. A great day out. ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your trip. Beautiful!!! You are both such amazing parents, you can see it in your faces when you are with the boys. Such joy!!!
Thank you so much!
That was so beautiful.
There's so much negativity in world news at the moment, it's good to realise that places like this are also part of the world.
Your boys are learning that, and through your channel there are all of us other people vicariously experiencing it too.
Thank you Ruth. So true friend. ❤️❤️
Ich habe wirklich Tränen in den Augen
Es ist so schön Euch alle so glücklich zu sehen
Ich gönne es euch von ganzem Herzen 💕
Ihr seid eine tolle Familie und ihr erzieht eure Kinder zu selbstbewussten und freigeistigen Menschen
Well done👍
Love from Germany
God blessed you
Elke 🙋🏻♀️
Thank you friend. Danke ❤️❤️❤️
An absolutely priceless video 😍 I tears watching you all swimming in the warm rain and the boys snorkeling reminds me of when we lived in far North Queensland Australia, love the tropics and the people. Thanks for sharing with us 👍❤️
Thanks Cheri! ❤️
How fortunate for you. I was in Thailand 2 months ago and loved it 💕💕💕💕
Exactly Anne. Yes that was such a wonderful memory. Feels like ages ago now with so much else having happened. ❤️
You guys certainly took your cue from the Thais...all smiles throughout the episode. Beautiful bonus time with the Newbys...yay!
😊 thank you
OOh wow ! I have been on this island in 2019 when I stayed on the Island Langkawi for 2 month. Such a gorgeous bounty kind of Island !
Soooo coool Laura! ❤️❤️
@TheNewbysExplore It was! I saw you all enjoyed it too 😊👍❤️
Your trip out on the boat, fishing, swimming, eating the freshly caught & grilled fish. What a wonderful day for you all! I am thinking as I live in Australia, I need to take advantage of how close SE Asia is for travel.
WHAT an exquisite place to spend the afternoon and see beautiful fish. Such sweet brave and sleepy boys❤
Thanks Rhonda!
Hahahahaha! You have to love him! Fisherman John! Of course you did! Watching the family in the rain... those scenes with the boys are priceless, gorgeous!!
Thanks 👍 ❤️❤️❤️😎
I smiled the whole time. Except for the swimming in the rain. Something about the combination of the music and the slow mo brought me to happy tears. Been a while since my girls were that young and care free. Loved watching this paradise adventure so much. Thanks.
Thanks Kelly ❤️❤️
I’m going to Koh Lipe in March. This was so beautiful to watch. Your boys are so beautiful.
So beautiful to see you all in paradise. Especially the boys loving the swimming. Amazing ❤
Thanks so much Carol ❤️❤️
🐠🐟🐠 Oh my goodness, this is one of the most beautiful videos I’ve ever seen. I know it’s not Thailand, but it did bring a lot of memories back to me from living in Florida, and how gorgeous it was on the gulf. I was enthralled with this video. It was gorgeous and seeing the children enjoying it as much as you were. Wow wow wow thank you so much for sharing that that made my day. I agree with you I didn’t want to leave lol. At least I can go back and rewatch the video over and over. Thank you so much again for this beautiful video and sharing your families private journey on a vacation. More than generous.
Thank you so much Anna ❤️❤️❤️
Aloha! How lucky you are to travel! It’s getting harder all the time to decide where to go that’s safe! I grew up like your boys traveling and I can assure you it is one of the greatest gifts you can give your children. Enjoy! ❤
Thank you friend ❤️🙏
So nice to see you so relaxed and enjoying yourselves. What a nice break from life on the farm. Thailand is paradise.
Thank you friend ❤️❤️
Beautiful family time , the boys jumping from the boat x looks amazing xxx
Så härlig resa , ser helt underbart ut att bada i det kristallklara vattnet. Pojkarna är så duktiga att simma. Skönt för er med en semester när ni jobbar så hårt hela tiden.🥰
Thanks Iris! ❤️🙏
What an amazing day trip, you’ve made me feel like summer will be here soon. 🤞 and such a surprise video too, Thankyou.
Thanks Margaret ❤️🙏
Visited Thailand in 3different areas for 5 weeks in 2012. Most incredible people! So gentle ,respectful and happy. Loved the smaller centers,but the cities had a beat of cooperation to make it work for the masses of people trying to get around. Our guides were the best! So glad the boys enjoyed the boat ride and fishing! Look forward to more!
Thanks Iris. Amazing adventures for sure friend. ❤️❤️
So nice to see you all so relaxed ,have fun family Newbys!!!!🇬🇷 🇬🇷
This was one of your most beautiful uploads - this is magical- keep living in the moment - Tara you keep it real (sand 😂) love it . stunning location
I love this video, especially seeing the kids having fun 😍
You are right. It does look like paradise.❤
Thanks Peter. A fun adventure that we tagged onto the end of the Borneo trip. Beautiful.
That rain scene! So good! You could feel the love it’s was so beautiful. 🌧️
So true!
What a great video and, just as you sometimes feel blessed, I feel blessed that you took the time, trouble and effort to bring us along too. Thank you 😍❤️
❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏 thank you Madeline. That’s so kind friend ❤️
What a beautiful episode! Thank you for sharing the peace and beauty with us. We really need videos like this when life is hard. ❤
Thanks Tammy! ❤️❤️
Magical moments, especially swimming in the rain. Loved hearing John talk about fishing …my husband is a keen fisherman but mostly they go back into the water apart from when he fishes off a jetty at the seaside in Portugal or today when he caught a big tilapia in a pond at our homestay in the hills of Kerala, India. Our host said she will cook it for our dinner! 🇮🇳 🎣
Thank you Hilary ❤️❤️
Loved this video! The boys had such a wonderful time! Thanks!
Thanks Diane! ❤️
Just stunning. The one cloud in the beginning on the boat by the islands looked like a thumbs up!
❤️❤️❤️🙏
Beautiful place to take the boys! So special. We have a grandson our daughter and son-in- law adopted from Thailand. It’s a very special land.
It’s so true. Thank you friend. ❤️❤️
Splendid swimming in the rain! And snorkeling, snuggles on the ride back, everything is just splendid!!
Thanks Donna! A great adventure. ❤️❤️
Terrific episode -- photography of the boys was priceless!

Hello Newby Explorer family thank-you for showing us Thailand, was a well known tourist area, cheap destination, known for it's beaches and explorations of coral seas. Bali, Phuket come to mind, thank-you for showing another island treasure. Sweet, sweet, sweet Sawyer cannot escape the wave of the calm seas and his travelled seasoned parents watching near by and fishing. Love the beach and the Sunshine missing in our Western Hemisphere this January end of month. Well done John about your historical fishing, well matched, I would say, Tara, daughter of avid fisherman, now preparing their little fishermen, Crusoe and Sawyer. Portugal is noteworthy for their historical fishing close to Newfoundland catching cod fish by the buckets 1600 years ago. Bon Dia enjoy your day catches.🙏🌄💖🥰👱👱🐠🐟🐬🏖🏝🏞🚤⛵ 🇹🇭
Thank you Joanne. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
