Oh Paddy! To go to the abandoned boat hotel/resort you can’t go through the main entrance. You have to enter from another beach. It’s really beautiful around there. You also went to the wrong spot of lonely beach. It’s just left from those rocks you where at. Have to drive in from the main road or walk from lonely beach village through some resorts, jungle and more rocks.
We love Koh Chang. I (Malin) went on 2006 and 2019/10 and last time we both went there and volunteered with street dogs. Beautiful island 💛✨
Thanks for taking us back there 🙏
I was lucky to visit there once in my life and it was so relaxing. My only regret was not venturing off White Sand Beach and seeing the rest of the island. Looks like I need to go back and get my Paddy Doyle sense of adventure on.
Thanks for showing me what I missed.
The memories you brought back ,I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I absolutely love Koh Chang and not much has changed in 15 years😁😁😁 it was the first place me and my partner traveled to when we left our home country❤
Koh Chang is my favourite island and place in Thailand.
Great beaches, hilly tropical forest and restaurants with a great variety of food (especially fish) and the night market at White Sands Beach.
One has to hire a motorbike for 200 baht and tour the East Side of the island.
Surprised that Paddy had never been to Koh Chang before.
I’ve been to Koh Chang a couple of times before and you managed to sum it up perfectly. A dream island!
I lived in Koh chang for 3 months, I love love loved it there. such fond memories were brought up in this video I'm so excited to travel again
I've also been to Koh Chang twice and Koh Kut once. Enjoyed Mexican food and margaritas at El Barrio both times! My second trip was during the pandemic and it was sad to see so many places closed, some forever. On the other hand it was great for the beaches to be very uncrowded. Koh Kut was great. I visited a couple of waterfalls and drove over to the fishing village on the other side of the island. Wonderful memories of that place.
I let my mind drift to the other side of the world whenever I'm traveling with you. It's such a super great experience. Thank you!
This is the 1st video I saw of yours. I'm totally impressed on your story telling skills. I'll be moving to Thailand in a few years and this is exactly what I want to do. You're inspiring me! Thanks for the great content.
Seriously, your use of negative space in dialogue coupled with superb B-roll is educational!
Hiya Paddy, beautiful drone footage. Good vibes. Cool tunes. Your food looked delicious. Beautiful tour around. Dobe, that saying cracks me up. Lol. I love how you wear your shoes in the water. I would be the same with the fish. Lol. Nice freebie with your chips. Love your chillout time on the swing with an audiobook. Looked like you had the place to yourself. Beautiful island. Great video. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week.
Glad you enjoyed it
Just returned from koh Chang after a full week.
Unbelievably beautiful, great vibe, delicious vegan food, crazy scuba.
Didn't even go to the beach many times because there was so much to do.
Amazing!
Looks stunning! Can’t wait to watch the vlog. 6 more hours to go🙌🏽🙌🏽☀️🌴
If all the videos you have done This is my favourite! You really hit my soft spot with this one
Great work Mate! My favourite island for trail running in Thailand - great to see it again from your lens even if it’s way quieter than pre-covid.
I've been to this island twice. Love it. Got caught in a monsoon rain once while walking through those steep winding roads. Soaking wet, I flagged down a pickup truck and jumped on the back. Just trying the get to where I could find some guitar strings and so I did. So sad to see how Covid-19 "bulldozed" Lonely Beach. You passed by Little Eden (sign on the right) just before you & Dreamy turned left off the main road. Almost a ghost town. Thanks for investigating. Great drone shots and super editing. Cheers. dcb
my pleasure
You find the most beautiful and interesting places to visit. The food looks very delicious. Thank you for another great tour.
Koh Chang is easily my favourite place in Thailand!
To anyone who is planning to go there: When you plan on renting a scooter, be really careful! The roads are steep and slopey, when it's wet it can be super dangerous.
I crashed one time, luckily nothing happened, other than a few bruises. Drive slowly, take your time, and enjoy the scenery
One of my favorite places in the world. So many great memories of kho Chang over the years. Incredible place. The best thing is that the development has been controlled. Hats off for this!
Great vid pads!
Thanks for showing this beauty !!
Love this video Paddy !! Don’t know how many times I’ve watched this 😉
I have such a great memories of Koh Chang, we went with the idea of spending a week and ended up staying for almost a month. Such a beautiful place, I will say my favourite place in Thailand.... I hope to go back soon, I miss Thailand so much
Thanks for showin us arround mate, just watchin from Asq waitin to get out 🥳
Beautiful video about Koh Chang. It's indeed a super beautiful island, my favorite in Thailand 🤩
It really is!
Every holiday I get my dad brings me here EVERY TIME
And I’m not complaining it’s amazing here
Hi Paddy great video,love Koh Chang really hope to get back this year as with the Covid thing.Keep up the good work pal.
Thank you Patty! You have introduced me to so many cool places in Thailand that I now want to visit and this island is one of them.
Nice episode Paddy,you really are awesome at explaining everything, Have a great day. 👍
Been to Thailand five times and still haven't been to Koh Chang. On my last trip, I visited Hat Yai and Songkhla based on your suggestions and I absolutely loved them; can't wait to visit Koh Chang on my next trip! The far East of Thailand seems super interesting and a bit lesser travelled.
Thanks for your video. I used to go there twice a month as i used to have a wine shop there lovely island. Thanks for bringing back good memories. Enjoy your trip.
Love the music on this video, especially the Jazz. Thanks Paddy
Love ya video watched it a few times, I'm going in December for Christmas and New year can't wait
I first went to kKoh Chang 30 years ago - stunning place. White sand beach is one of those "perfect" beaches. Firstly the sunset - west facing and falls into the sea - like Kuta. Secondly look up at the pyramid jungle covered mountain - it is a talisman and emblem of the island for me,. thirdly the tide - deeper in the morning and shallower in the afternoon - perfect for swimming or just hanging around. As I say the most beautiful place. As you walk the sand starts to hold you back and slow you down. At night the stars are incredible because the island is so untouched still - more so thirty years ago before there were roads.
I was on white sands around 95 , was only paying 50baht a night for the beach hut
I lived in Thailand for 6 months and Koh Chang was my absolute favorite experience. It had the best vibes. Chiang Mai was #2. I still think about it sometimes.
Was it inexpensive?
Can’t wait to see it
@@johnobrien964 Crazy cheap! Koh Chang was a little bit more touristy-expensive than the rural part of Thailand I lived in, but still so inexpensive and can't compare to Western US prices (I live in Los Angeles now Lol). My lunch used to be 20 - 40 cents every day!
Oh boy, when I (we) will gonna be able to through all your videos, every one of them is better than the previous one. Every spare minute of life is filled with Paddy Doyle cinema now 😊🎉
Great video paddy koh samui has looked my favourite so far but koh chang looks amazing I must get to Thailand one day it's got everything I like and the thai people seem so nice and helpful. Look forward to the next one 👌👍
You should
My family and I go to Koh Chang often as we can drive from Bangkok. A few resorts accept dogs, so we put them in the car too so they can have a swim and run on the beach, plus you really need a car or bike if you want to take full advantage of what the island has to offer.
The waterfall in wetter seasons is really beautiful and a must do.
We stay down on Kai Bae town and beach, which is where the Mexican place is. It's busy enough and quiet enough, were as White Sand beach (in high season) is too much now (I remember when it had 1 or 2 bars, only 10 years ago).
Loving your videos as usual. It's nice to see an honest and no 'gimmick' vlogger,
Hi,
If you don't mind, i'm planning to visit Koh Chang in October 2023 - is it a good time? or it will be full of rain due to moonsoon? i heard Koh Chang is least rainy among other islands.
Also, is one week good enough to enjoy the island?
You're so creative and witty! Always enjoy your videos!!!
Looks awesome. Will visit on next trip. Thanks Paddy!
Koh Chang is not only my favourite place in Thailand, but also one of my favourites in the entire world. It is epic!
Absolutely
Aww Wow Paddy! Thank you so much for this instalment. I have enjoyed some magical moments on Koh Chang. I went there on my first visit to Thailand with a cool friend who I met in Bangkok and we stayed in some wonderful treehouse bungalows on a beautiful beach which has now been replaced by Siam Beach Resort. The hippy party vibe was so goooood there in 2003 and every night was amazing. He taught me how to drive a motorbike there. Talk about being thrown in an the deep end! I was shitting myself yet gained confidence under his calm guidance.
I later returned on honeymoon with my wife and son, who was 2 years old at the time, in 2008. Much had changed yet the island preserved its beauty and integrity. I drove my son all the way to the end of the road on the Eastern side. He absolutely loved the adventures I took him on during that 3 months around South East Asia and he can still recall it now even though he is 16. On my last day in Koh Chang, my wife and son were sleeping in the afternoon, so I thought I would take a trip to Bang Bao village on my own. I decided to drive with too much confidence and came off the bike going round one of the bends into an oncoming car. I sustained some nasty burns but was lucky to not get completely run over. At the police station, I had to settle up £200 to avoid potential arrest. I immediately obliged and I got on so well with the police inspector that he invited me back to his house to have dinner. To my disbelief he had a pet tiger. When I finally got returned back to my wife and son, they were shocked to see me covered in bandages tipsy from the liquor the police inspector had plied me with for the pain. When I saw my son I burst into tears in gratitude that he was not on the bike during the accident... Them roads in Koh Chang are so dangerous but if I was to live in Thailand my settlement would be in Chiang Mai with regular trips to this beautiful island region with it's neighbouring islands.
Thanks for reminding me of the past and inspiring my future. You're a star!
wow thanks for sharing!
I first came to Koh Chang in December 2006, it was the first time I ever came to Thailand. I bought a “return” BUS ticket in Bangkok from Khao San Road for around 1000Baht. It wasn't return, it was a high price and learnt a lesson. But staying in Koh Chang sparked my love for Thailand. Ive been to Koh Chang almost every year ever since upto 2019. It's one place that still hasn't changed too much, it still has that chilled local island vibe.
My favourite locations are Klong Prao Beach area, Kai Bai also has a nice beach but difficult to find the access unless staying at a resort there. One thing you showed in your video about Lonely Beach is giving a very wrong impression. As Lonely beach is a long lonely beach in an idylic area you seem to have driven past and ended up at the rocky section instead towards the Pier. Lonely beach is a beautiful location, but its a bit of a drive and nightlife there was never very good as its so isolated with few resorts and restaurants.
SABBAY BAR on White Sand Beach is the main place to go for music, restaurant, bar, fire shows, even Thai Boxing events sometimes. Not sure if its the same now, since Ive not been able to come back to Thailand since my last visit in 2019.
The biggest hassle about KOH CHANG is getting there and getting back to Bangkok. The local buses leave from Ekkamai Bus terminal near the BTS, the price is only around 300THB, takes 6 hours though and its a gamble getting a decent bus. Then you have the Ferry adds an extra hour to the trip. So its a long journey. You can fly from Bangkok to Trat and get the Ferry to Koh Chang, it used to be around $150USD each way last I checked. Mini bus is also an option if you are ok with a small group of people in a packed mini bus driving quickly, around 4 hours to get to the Koh Chang Pier, add an hour or so to get to the island from the Pier.
I love Koh Chang! Laid back, quiet and not over commercialized! Great place to chill and just do nothing!
Awesome vid. I'll be making my first trip to Koh Chang for a week in early June staying at the Klong Prao Resort. Can't wait!
Such a lovely island , bit lagging behind with your videos hope to catchup soon as you are ending the journey .
Can’t wait to see this place !
Thanks for another great vlog 😃🛵
Absolutely an beautiful island 🏝. That seafood 🦞 looked delicious 😋. Definitely looks a lot quieter than Samui , will have to go in the near future.
I once met a woman from Thailand in France, I was there on a big yacht and she was visiting a friend in the cote d'azure.
She was and still is the owner of the seabar in Koh chang and came for a holiday to her friend who also had a bar in Fresus in the sunny south of France.
Nice quick overview ! Thank you . enjoy ...
one of my favorite places. Great video
Watched rewatched this video a few times, so inspired by this I’m here on a visit to Koh Chang right now 😎😁👍🇹🇭
Paddy.... this is so awesome. Appreciate your efforts....lot of efforts behind these videos. In fact you defecated ur life to this .... appreciate it man👍👍👍👍👍
Very informative video...Well done mate...Koh chang looks very quiet now.
Been twice and loved it so much, it’s making me want to leave Phuket and get back there now 🙈
Between Koh Chang and Koh Mak I’d be happy there forever 💙
Honestly my favourite place to go.. Can't wait to head back there
Another great video Paddy, Koh Chang is amazing. You missed the beach at lonely beach though. It's just a few hundred metres north of the village.
Great video Paddy 🙏🏼🥰
great video, i have never been there, travelled 2 times to Phuket during covid, visited Krabi and Phi Phi, Samui, Phangan as well. if i will see Koh Chang, maybe it will change to be my new favorite.
Ahh koh chang ,the best ,
Mountain trek was awesome 👍
Koh Chang is such an awesome and beautiful place. Seafood looks so delicious! Koh Chang has that cool local vibe, like Koh Si Chang another inland I like. Sad to see the quit streets. Hope they spring back soon. Beautiful elephant. I will take three order of the fries. What an island!!! Great drone footage mate!
It really is!
Great. Place! Putting g on my list for sure. Sitting. In. My. Hotel room in Bangkok watching my future adventures unfold via Paddy and Dreamy! Nice. Waiting for my arrival pcr test results
Koh Kood is even better if you want a natural quiet environment
I have been going to Koh Chang for many years, unfortunately it is now really littered and very neglected
@@PaddyDoyle. could you give me a rough location of he elephant mate id love to go feed him
This!
Might be what me and my hubs are looking for during retirement 🙏💪
Very good, Keep going!
Excited you went to Rasta View!
paddy doyle you the random elephant the lady with the little girl feeding banana to the elephant made my day thanks so much for a beautiful video THE ELEPHANT WHAT COUNTS !!!
You’re an excellent youtube travel guide. I wish I could drive around Thailand with you for a day.
so far we loved Blessed Koh Chang homestay ...
i felt like im over there..awesome video thnx bro
That elephant interaction was epic. Good job going back with grub. These videos are definitely getting me thinking about Thailand again. Sad to see the villages so empty, but I'm sure they'll be crammed with tourists soon enough.
Beautiful experience with the elephant. Scary. But amazing.
Lovely video! Really liked the wibe :)
Koh Chang looks stunning....Hopefully things start to improve on the Island soon ☺
ยินดีต้อนรับสู่เกาะช้างครับ บ้านเกิดผมอยู่จ.ตราด คิดถึงบ้านมากๆ
คุณเดินทางได้น่าตื่นเต้นมากๆ
Can't wait to watch Samet island episode when you arrive at Rayong province, One of the most hippie isalnd , the most beautiful sunset view point and Fire show at the night and of course lots mermaids here.
Damn, dope! You seen a lot more of the island in one day than I did the few days I was there. Great video. I hope you visit Koh Kit or Kood (however it's spelled) next.
coming soon :)
Thanks for the tip! I will be in Thailand in December _ i am now seriously visiting Koh Chang. It seems to have the right mixture of complete traquility but not dead
Thanks Paddy. I enjoy your videos very much. I stayed at a Homestay in Singburi for 16 months in 2016/17. I can offer some suggestions for Singburi as well as Lopburi if you would like. Thanks again and looking forward to more videos.
Your contentment with Koh Chang shines through in this vlog 🍺🍺
Would love to be there right now ☀️
Thank You!
Fantastic your blogs are so Refreshing well done Sir
Beautiful island 😍 Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻🥰
It really is!
@@PaddyDoyle. 😍😍😍
Looks awesome! 😍
I hope you're going to Koh Kut next. We've always thought it like rural Thailand with amazing beaches. Another Thai gem.
Beautiful Island.. Still very natural. Loved🏝️🤩
Great video🔥
Nice video and commentary, I live here on koh Chang and love it, I would recommend seeing Wai Chaek beach which not many people (tourists) know about, it's located in that section of the southern part of the island where the main roads don't connect (yet), it's now in the planning stages to complete the main road so it will continue all the way around the island, you can reach Wai Chaek beach by going through Salakphet on the east side.
Enjoyed your videos
Thanks for the tips!
Arrived today. Have been looking forward to it for 3 years.
You done a good job viewing the island. I was staying chanaburi, and popped over to the island for the day on a scooter and ended staying the night in a rasta resort without the doobi unfortunately. I was buying gems on the mainland, but lovely island. Living in issan, ubon ratchathani . Great vid.
I loved this video, absolutely beautiful
I have been there 26 times and will never get enough.
Probably someone already cleared this up, but those kind of kayaks are supposed to have the holes for the water to exit. These kayaks have air inside the plastic frame and thus stay afloat. My favorite type of kayak for warm waters!
Wow , It looks different now , so lovely, when i was there it was so pack even in September and for someone that didn’t have transportation, it was not easy to get around .
Simply smiles all around! ! 😊✌️
Mate I'm loving your channel, good to see a youtuber here that's not all about perving
Been to this island, it is so beautiful. Enjoy your stay. You to go to Koh Mak and Koh Kut also. Of this 3 island I think Koh Kam is the most beautiful 😍
Very good vlog. Thanks for sharing.
❤ Koh Chang, going back in January!!
The yellow seafood soup looks awesome Paddy
big fan of the channel.cheers from Buffalo NY usa
calm & peaceful
Very well made video!
Have to say the quality of these vids gets better and better. Everything fits together. The transitions are natural AF and the viewer journey is spot on. Well done, Paddy. Hopefully we get to travel the world with Paddy and not just Thailand in the future. Super well done, Pads. Such an accomplishment. You should be proud as punch,mate. ⭐️👍🙏
Thank You!
The best! Readable price without a lot of tourists.
