    It’s taken me 5 years, but this is my 100th video on One Shot Adventures! 🎉
    Admittedly this channel has taken a back seat over the last year or so, but I’m committed to finishing this Thailand series in the next few months (new episode is up next week). There are 17 more episodes to edit from my 2022 adventures, then it’s probably time for something new…
    Thanks to everyone who is still watching these! It means a lot.

    Thanks for the nice video. I just returned from Ko Tao last week. One of the most wonderful and peaceful places I have been to. Nightlife is up and running and the beaches and underwater world is breathtaking but not as immersive as the Maledives. I am sure I will return to Ko Tao!

    I lived on this island for 7 years..1998-2005 with a few visa runs every year ... absolutely loved it. . Was just a divers island back then, used to go to samui to get what I needed as it wasn't that developed... got a frew mates from UK who still live there... guess things change once the tourists invade 😆 😂
