This video was awesome! I'm planning to solo travel to Phuket soon. Fun fact: there is a Chinese belief that when you hear marbles dropping in the middle of the night, it means the place is haunted. The marbles are placed in between each level of the building to entertain "ghost children" so they'll play with the marbles instead of bothering you while you rest.
This was the first vlog I've actually enjoyed and it was informative of how it actually looks at these places vs the stylized drone shots of some other channels. Planning a visit and this was really useful
6:38 Mable drop sound come from the incident called water hammer. When someone from other rooms open and closed water tap, The water stream in pipe will surge and generate sound propagated along the pipe like marble drop on the floor
I always follow you, encourage you, keep going.🎉❤
Keep them coming luv your happy vibe😊🙏
I'm going to Phuket next month, glad to see some fresh new content about this place heheh! Im from Singapore!! Excited as this is gonna my first fully solo trip and im going to Kata Beach specifically for 6 nights! hahhaha
Hi I’ve just come back from Phuket.. steer clear of the taxi drivers they will rip you off… download ID driver and you will pay actual price for travelling… for example from my hotel to patong its like 2 miles and they were charging me 300-400 baht… where as ID driver rate was between 90-120 baht
@@syedsulemanali389 How's the crowd like? I'm heading there in a few weeks time.
@@shesyahh it was my first time in Thailand.. but from what I here from the locals its a lot quieter than usual. But I still think it was fairly busy but nothing overwhelming, more of a nice busy
Wow, awesome video, thank you! Hubby and I are heading to Phuket in Aug for my belated 40th birthday that Covid ruined in 2020....we're splitting our time between Patong & Kata so this vlog has helped us immensely! Heading off to watch more of your vlogs now ;-)
Vlogs definitely see the work u guys r putting in and getting better
Mandy, your smile makes my day :) Good job, and happy to watch your video. Be safe and have a good trips.
G'day from Pete and Jules! love your channel and really enjoy your vids - we haven't been to Phuket for years but really thought Paradise beach was a cool little hidden gem so it may be worth a visit whilst your both in the area. It's just a tad south of Patong beach.
Good luck with your 100k subs you'll rip it in!!!
Very good job guys. Nice video and nice people. Keep that smiles and enjoy Thailand. I will watch your next videos. Thank you.
Phuket has an old town. There are flea markets in Phuket old town, lakes, waterfalls, beaches, amusement parks, shopping malls. There is a place for nightlife Take a motorbike around the island, Parks , There is a wide variety of Michelin-starred restaurants.
At Mai Khao Beach to watch the plane landing and Laem Phromthep to see the sunset in the evening
Thanks for the info 👍
These are just some of the things I can think of, in fact there are more. This place used to be second only to Chiang Mai where there are many Nomads and expatriate retirees. Because there are beautiful and unique cafes. Plus there is free internet and high speed. And many kinds of delicious local food here can't be found anywhere else in Thailand.

Hi guys. The marina hotel is a wonderful hotel with the most friendly staff I stayed there in 2019 for 6days . An it's a close walk to shops , Bangla etc. My heart is phuket. Have a fabulous time.
You guys are great. Keep up the good work.
Beautiful city 😍😍 good sharing
Nice video! Cery useful to get an overall idea about Phuket Island. Cheers!
Ashlee Height at Patong was very nice! Also cheap one.. its pool and rooftop was amazing to be a photo spot 😊
Welcome to Phuket.. Just take good care and be careful riding bike in Phuket as the road is quite slippery when it rains.
Looking forward to Kata Beach vlog...Can you show the Beach and the Nightlife..Regards Stevie
ว้าว!ครบรอบ1ปีแล้วเหรอเนี่ยที่คุณอยู่ไทย ขอให้มีความสุขครับ อยากให้คุณมาเยี่ยมภาคใต้ตอนล่างของไทยหาดใหญ่เป็นเมืองใหญ่ที่สุดในภาคใต้คนมาเลเซียชอบขับรถข้ามมาเที่ยวเยอะมาก
Originally from Poland & NZ, atm in London but soon going to Bali! :) You are super inspiring! Good travels :)
Great stuff! Always enjoy watching your videos. Chiang Mai airport had the double security check back in 2016 as well. Keep up the great work and you'll certainly achieve your goal.
I was in Marina Phuket Hotel 17 days in November. Nice to see you like it as well 😃
Maybelles Coffee Garden i can recommend. And Big Buddha and Phuket Old town 🤙
I just found your channel today. I love the different views you showed of various hotels. I am from Colorado/USA
Hope you guys enjoy Thailand my original country . Stay safe and enjoy your journey 🥰💖
A fun thing for me, following the journey in your videos. Phuket Thailand is very impressive.
While you’re in Kata you need to go to A Blanket & A Pillow. It’s and amazing cafe spot that’s on bamboo platforms looking over the water 🌴
oooh thanks for the good tip!!
I know what you mean, all the paperwork for flying that’s different for every country. I’m also paranoid I’ve missed that vital form and won’t be allowed in or out!! Thanks for the heads up on ‘Bolt’. Phuket looks great. The food looks amazing. The second hotel was definitely better. Wow it comes alive at night. Thanks for this great video guys 🍻
We were recently in Phuket and watching your videos makes us miss it already 🤣😂
Welcome to Thailand:) Don’t forget to visit Full Moon party in Pha Ngan island, and Railay beach in Krabi….. lots of beautiful places in south of Thailand.
I was there 2 time .555
Good job guys - and good luck on the 100k subscriber count! Phuket looks like a lot of fun! UK here :)

❤❤ Hey guys I am an Aussie and my fiancé is begging me to go live in Thailand after the visit he had for a holiday in March 19’.. Your videos are fresh and fabulous and very helpfully detailed. I think Kara is my new favourite beach there too!! Thank you so much and keep rolling out these awesome little vids, love em’
Kho samui
Above Kata Noi beach(next beach over the hill), reggae bar/restaurant at top of hill , awesome sunset views over beach 👌
Cool guys...best presentation. watching from Auckland. Will b there in Sept....
Australia-heading back to Patong for 5th time in a couple of weeks for dental treatment. Was surprised how inexpensive the accommodation is. Spending a week in Karon and a week in Patong. Loved your video. Yes Kata is the best
Would love to know the name of the dentist.
Hi from Brisbane. Loving the videos!
Love love love Thailand,,, 3 times visit,,, can’t wait to get back ,,,
Thanks for info
Welcome to Phuket I m here, It s my hometown, hope you re enjoy along your trip.
Phuket looks beautiful. Never been there but I have a retired co-worker who lives there. He has recorded two records and lives on the beach. He’s living the life in my opinion.
I just came back from a month-long vacation in Bangkok and Phuket and I'm already planning my next 😜
Good job guys covering Phuket. I don’t think you have to leave your passport when you rent. They should take a copy of it. Let me know if they give you problems next time.
Great video guys, I'm from the UK. Hope you got to see Surin and Nai Harn beaches.
There is a hotel near Bangla Road and the Jung Ceylon Mall called Sleep With Me, which is not what you might think. It's very PG. Regardless it was excellent, with excellent food and breakfasts in the restaurant included in the price. It was in your range. Just in case you'd like a new location at some point. Clean and quiet and two blocks from the beach too. Having a decent hotel made my trip to Phuket a real proper experience.
Looks fantastic, my partner and I are looking to travel to Thailand soon in next year. Very insightful journey. Saying hi from South Africa, you should visit sometime :)
This video is wanderful
Fantastic video! Your videos are going to boost Thailand tourism. Love your love for Thailand....👍👍👍
Thanks for your input. Kata beach looks awesome, I've never been that far south. Patong Beach is the absolute best place to keep away from, reminds me of Kuta. Unless, of course, you just want the booze and girls. All the beaches north of Patong are also glorious, with a small town feel and fantastic street food.
Hi Mandy and Lloyd, I’m planning my first trip to Thailand and love your videos. What airline did you fly on to Phuket and about how much does it cost?
Cool vlog , I swear that was Thailand 🇹🇭 tony running on the beach :)
try to stay in the Base central Phuket, just beside the shoping mall, that is very good location, and find the AirBnb accomodation inside the Base Condo. recomeded place for sure. easy go to anywhere.
I Think The Reason Why The Last Place Got Such A Great Location Is Location Location. All About Location. Excellent From Start To Finish
lovely video
We stayed at Safari hotel beautiful in Patong beach 10 years ago now wow. If you go back to the nightlife there, pls try to find a bar called Marley bar (bob) we were there every night low key hanging with some cool locals all bob marley obsessed. I remember we bought them a handmade wooden frame and put a very unique bob marley pic in it for their wall. They were over the moon. I wonder if it still exists 🙏
Your videos are getting better and better! Keep up the grind! I have so many memories of those carnival bars as you called them haha good times!
Have a nice trip
watching from Brisbane, Mandy is terrific....such a funny laugh
you both are such a good and natural couple . Mandy is very beautiful, she is my Miss world
Love all your videos.... I live in Texas.
Welcome to Phuket
This video is awesome
Thanks
I should stay at Southern Fried Rice in Kata, I stayed there a few years ago and was nice and easy to stay there. Get one of the better rooms! :)
Hello Lloyd and Mandy, Phuket is my favourite place. First thing in the morning I go and catch fish and give them to the locals. It amazes me, that although locals live close to the beach or everybody has a scooter. I have never seen any local guys fishing in Patong beach. I usually stay at the Graceland Phuket and Spa.
I recommend you to stay at Le Meridian Phuket beach resort it's 5 stars hotel that have a most beautiful beach in Phuket call Had Karon Noi
is super beautiful and private beach a cost around $100 (3300 Baht) / night but worth it.
Hello from Kelowna Canada!
Cool travel
Hey :) we’re using you for inspiration for our channel - what camera and mic do you use? It’s always super sound
....good that you can see the beach in Phuket - is the beach different to Australia 😁
This year,I stayed 4 months in pattaya.
Everyone returning from Phuket said the same thing-"it's so much cheaper here".
Just found your channel. I am visiting Thailand in 2 weeks for the first time and will be flying Chiang Mai to Phuket too. How long before your flight do you have to arrive please?
I like Mandy’s smiley face.
I’ve been to Thailand 5 times. Coming again in July. Check out phi phi and Krabi and make sure you go to ko Phan gan. Way better then Phuket
Wellington, New Zealand here
Remember this , it's your passport and it's not allowed to be in other hands, make copies give that, the consulate will freak out if something goes wrong and they blackmail you by having your passport.
Hey guys love that video on Patonga,keron and kata,never stayed in kata but it looks beautiful, maybe next time.enjoy phuket. Kevin Brisbane.
Hi guys,
Loving your adventures definately couldn't eat something with a bad smell lol the look on Lloyd's face said it all. 😄 were watching from Perth Australia. Keep them coming having a great laugh. 👍
Just stumbled upon your channel and love your videos! And you post so regularly too! New subscriber for sure! Thanks for sharing 💕
Thanks
Bangkok was to big for me with big city ways. I haven’t really explored Thailand, been in the north east part, at a small village in the country. Visited a friend from America about 5 years ago. I really want to visit Chang Mai though.
Is no rains there today?am curious because we plan to go beach between 7 th June.
Hey Mandy, just a suggestion for your allergies. I have the same problem with cats. If I forget to wash my hands and touch my eyes, they go crazy. If you haven't already tried them, get some antihistamine eye drops. All the major over the counter brands like Visine and Bausch and Lomb make them. That itchiness you're experiencing will disappear in seconds.
Loving the video. It's helping with my November planning.
I'm in Surrey BC. Where are you from?
When in November me to
Wecome to Phuket , it is funny and paradise island 🤗😊👍🏝🏖
Hi

The Unshine Coast Qld. Raining ++ no sun

Mandy I didn’t know you were Canadian! I thought you were an Aussie too, you’ve got a very slight Aussie accent now
ภูเก็ตยินดีต้อนรับ
