After a crazy day fixing up Rocket, we're back on the road again! Today we're entering the city of Chumphon, an overlooked city in Thailand that's full of interesting sights and unspoiled natural beauty.

I love the way you give Rocket the sweet scold.😂😂😂 Rocket tried his best but he missed from times to times. Awwww sweet Rocket.
He’s a bit of a drama Queen but we love him 😆
Your vlogs are like episodes of a rom-com series. They always put me at ease😊. Love from Nepal 🇳🇵.
Thank you so much 💖😆
Chumphon Looks so nice, another Thai gem. Hope the rest of your travels are safe.
Also happy Rocket made it, I hope he's good to you the rest of the trip.
Thank you Ian 🙏🏻 Chumphon is definitely a gem. No tourists just pure unspoiled beauty.
The earlier issues with the axel could be because of the upgrade larger tires which can affect the gear ratio of a vehicle. Quite common when upgrading to bigger wheels forgot about the gear ratio upgrade unless the wheels are within the acceptable specs mode. Happened to my brother 4x4 Toyota Surf upgrade with bigger tyre the axel broken during a muddy situation using full throttle. When you install larger tires, it effectively changes the final drive ratio of the vehicle, which can lead to lower engine RPMs at a given speed. This can affect the vehicle's acceleration, fuel economy, and overall performance. The biggest issue long run is the increased strain on the drivetrain. Solution is re-gear ie these gear sets can be changed out by professionals for either different aftermarket or original equipment gear sets. Modifying the final gear ratio will correct the drivetrain deficiencies caused by larger tires. Safe and happy travel guys..
Thank you for the feedback. They are all exactly what we are experiencing with Rocket. Will get all of that checked soon 😊🙏🏼
Your cheerful voices, good sense of humour and beautiful scenery kick started my day. Thank you.
I visited this area a few years back! I got the train from Bangkok to Surat Thani, bus to Chumpon and then a ferry over to Koh Tao. I loved it, spent a month in the island. We dived over at chumpon Pinnacles, saw the fabled and beautiful whale shark and also the huge emperor wrasse that you pictured. Amazing times, I long to go back one day 😍
First, very glad Rocket did behave. Good Rocket. Seeing Southern Thailand is always a good reminder of the "skinny place" of Thailand. It is a different Thailand in some ways, certainly the food is different as well as the fauna. Asa a westerner when I go to Thailand it is sort of routine to go from Bangkok and then north or east with Phuket being the biggest turn south and never making the extra miles down the skinny part. This is a really good reminder not to skip these areas because they offer beauty and their own special experiences to the joy of Thailand. Love you guys and thanks as always from bringing some joy into my house!
Glad we can bring you joy! That’s our purpose for this channel 😊💖 hope you’ll explore a few new places on your next trip to Thailand!
Chumphon is such a beautiful city. Flora and Note you both always bring the best in any city that you both visit. I'm so glad you both are back in Thailand. Much love and respect to you Flora and Note.
Thank you Dominic! We’re also happy to be exploring in Thailand again, especially with Rocket this time 😊
Great that Rocket is doing good and brought you guys to Chumphon. Haha...that was how l ate sugarcane during my childhood years. Tell you what? I even tore off the sugarcane skin with my teeth 😃😄. Yeah, both that sugarcane uncle and aunty are right, you guys are handsome and beautiful. Flora, you look even more beautiful when you smile....so sweet !!
Interesting video with splendid footages and drone shots. Thanks a bunch for taking me along this cool journey.
Haha so hard core using your teeth 😂 I think we got lucky that Rocket enjoyed Chumphon lol
I really like Chumphon Beach, it's suitable for relaxing.Thung Wua Laen Beach. Thank you Guys 😍😍🙏🙏🍻🍻👍👍✔✔
For me you guys are still the best vloggers and i follow all. Always enjoy your vlogs some years now. Hope to meet you one day.
Thank you so much. We are so happy to hear that 😊
Great video, as usual. Hopefully, you guys make a video taking kiteboarding lessons at some point. It's super fun and all over Thailand! The feeling of being out on the ocean, being powered only by wind, is unforgettable.
ชุมพรเป็นอีกเมืองที่ชายหาดสวยงาม อากาศดี..น่าท่องเที่ยว❤..รอรถไฟความเร็วสูงพัฒนาขึ้นเมื่อไร..น่าจะมีคนเที่ยวเยอะขึ้นครับ❤
Such a cute little place to stay!!!
Awesome ❤
Chumphon. Totally underrated. Beautiful province.
Chumphon looks so beautiful and relaxing. 😍
It really is! 🥰

Lovely hometown 😊
You always manage to make me smile. You two are the best!
Your comment puts a big smile on our faces too! Thank you 😍🙏🏻
Hello from ❄️🌡 Norway!
80 baht for all that food 👀...
I only passed trough Chumphon on my way to Koh Tao in about 2007. Thanks for showing more of this place!
Happy new year 🖖
Happy New Year to you too 🤩
Another amazing video. Can't wait for the next one😊
We’re working on it! 😄
Hi Flora! Hi Note! Have not dropped you a message in a while. This is a wonderful vlogg🌺. Love Chumphon as it does not seem crowded and overcommercialised. I almost wished I was in Rocket travelling with you😅. Thank You for sharing this journey. Love to you both❤
I loved the moment you parked Rocket along the beach and enjoy the cool breeze.
Looks so relaxing!
We were surprised to see such beautiful beach in Chumphon 😊
You two sure know how to have some fun! The place looks amazing…..Thanks for taking us along and Champon is now on our bucket list 😊
Thank you for watching. Definitely visit Chumphon when you have a chance 😊
I love your video, a lovely couple.
Really nice video. I also appreciate you guys eating so many things everywhere, it really gives you a good picture of what kind of food there is and what is good. I've never been to Thailand but planning on going this summer. I've been recommended Koh Samui and of course after watching your videos I'm sold. Looking forward to it!
There are so many beautiful places in thailand and Koh Samui is out top 3 😊
The part where Flora tried to feed the fake deer is kinda funny 😂
Looks like Rocket is running pretty good again, Love the video Looks like a nice place to visit.
He’s being a good boy… for now 😅
Love all of you're travel videos! I'll be travelling all across south east asia this year and your videos are really helpful!
So happy to hear that. Have fun and safe travels 😊
Thank you!!
Thanks for the introduction to Chumpon. It looks amazing. I've never heard of it before and close to Koh Samui. Will put it on our list to visit. Have fun on your trip!
It’s even closer to Koh Tao so it’s a great stop to start your island hopping adventure to Koh Samui 😊
What I really miss about you guys… ❤❤❤❤❤ so so glad to see you be back to Thailand ❤❤❤❤❤
We’re happy to be back too 😊
สวยมากค่ะ hope you guys have a nice time
Chumphon is definitely a hidden gem 😊
lovely video - thank you for the post - I enjoy your videos and background music a lot - I probably will never to get to see these places and so, I am watching them with your eyes
Another great video, guys!!!
Thank you 😊
ว้าวๆๆคลิปวีดีโอเยี่ยมมาก🎉🎉🎉
Happy you enjoyed it 😊
ขอให้สนุก
You guys made it like a movie its so cool! Love it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice video! I luv TH road trips and have driven overland from SIngapore to South Thailand twice. Would luv to go further north!!
Wow. Road trip to Singapore would be epic 🤩
lovely vid, much enjoyed, the scenery, beaches and of course those lovelable deer. This location warms my heart, seeing that it is a fridit -30+ with the wind chill, in YYC sure you both don't miss that..Thank once again for sharing....
Stay warm! You guys have some crazy weather this year.
FYI opening your hood to let the engine breathe doesn't do anything.
Waiting for next trip ❤
Coming soon 😊
I think you both make the best videos. You are both wonderful people. Photography is amazing. Love the drone shots. Floras research is so interesting. I will be back in Thailand in 2 months. Chumpon has been on my list of places to visit. It’s really beautiful. Thank you both!
Thank you so much. Hope you'll enjoy Chumphon :)
Another good episode. Chumphon is a hidden gem thanks for sharing. I think Note maybe obsessed with Rocket, how many cut away images did he edit in? Lol. Since you are heading north maybe check out อิน ดิ ออง ( In De On - Khao Kho, Phetchabun, Thailand) the views will astonish you. You can also camp there (they supply the tent) with amazing views. 1000 thb/night
Thanks for the video, I love Chumphon my hometown for 16 years... my favorite place on earth.... shame the weather didn't look so good while you were there.
ชอบบรรยากาศที่ชายหาด มากๆ
What a lovely place Chumphon is. Seems like there are a lot of hidden gems in Thailand that we don't know of. Thank you for introducing this lovely place. I would love to do a road trip to Chunphon as well!
Hope you’ll do it next time! The drive from Bangkok down to the South is full of gems. Last year we also made videos on Phang Nga and Surat Thani province too 😊
@@FloraandNote Yes I saw those videos! Super adventurous!
13:48 OMG!!! Deers watching bridge!!! Oh wow! Never expect it in South Thailand.
Surprised us too! We loved that this park wasn’t made into a super touristy place that charged admission. It was nice and peaceful, full of locals 😊
I got the train from Hua Hin to Chumpon - I didn’t spend much time there but I really liked it - it’s certainly got a lot to see outside the town area 😃of which I didn’t see enough 😞 but I did spend 4 hours at Cabana Beach , it was beautiful and quiet and a great local secret 👌 - you presented it all so well as usual - Thanks for sharing and look forward to more soon 😃👋👍🙏
It felt like Hua Hin without the tourists 😆 We both enjoyed it more than we expected to.
why i just found your vlog 🥲 been watching travel vlog alot. didnt know this vlog exist. very calm, inspiring and good guide for people who wanna start traveling.
Glad you found us! Thank you for watching 😀
❤❤❤welcome to Thailand, welcome to Chumphorn❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
คุณทั้งสองคนน่ารักมาก
Excellent video!
Chumphon is so beautiful.
People are so nice and the beach and color of the water are so beautiful !
Now I know where are going the reindeers 🤶 during winter time (I totally agree with them! 👍) .... I am from Montréal 🇨🇦!
It snowed here last night.... It is a different landscape..... And different temperature 🌡 ❄️🥶😰
I never thought before about visiting Thailand but it could be a good idea!
Thank you for your video!
Take care of yourself!🤗
You have to come to Thailand! Great food, warm weather and friendly people 😊
new to the channel great video in jamaica we do the same chew and spit the sugar cane haha.
You guys are great ! I’m in Thailand at my hotel and came across your channel ! Now I’m following you guys ! 🎉
Yay! Welcome to the family :)
I am so jealous. You guys are eating my favorite noodle soup in the WWW💜💜💜 Curry noodle soup! Yum!
It was so delicious and cheap 😋
Oh dear, that was a mispell😂 I really enjoyed this video, thank you 🙏 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Nice my mother in law lives in chumphon.
How funny, we are driving down from Bangkok to Krabi next month and have booked to stay in the same place! I wondered if was when I saw the description. Prior to that we will be just south of Hua Hin for the Sam Roi Yat national park. Over 20 years visiting Thailand and it will be the first time we've driven down from Bangkok rather than fly. Looking forward to it.
😂 it’s normal to chew and spit out the fibrous out. I always do that when I was a kid many2 years ago
I’m just not use to spitting 🤭
Understand. Of course we don’t just spit out like that, just spit on the paper bag/servette or something like that then throw away 😅
She barely chew it. So much juice left still 😅😅😅 but yes the spitting part is not necessary for tge fun I took out of my mouth.
Happy to see Rocket is back on the road. I can tell already this is going to be an amazing series. Happy travels and Go Rocket Go! I think Rocket needs his own Instagram. 🚙
I feel like Rocket has a soul. He understands everything we say.😂😂
He definitely knows so we can’t bad-mouth him while driving 😂
ชื่นชอบและติดตามชมครับ รถคุณสวยมาก การนำเสนอผ่านภาพและเสียงดีมากครับ เหมือนได้ไปเที่ยวกับคุณจริงๆ

Really looking forward for your up and coming adventures. By the way, this road adventure covers only the Southern Thailand portion right? Hope that you can cover this trip all the way down to the extreme southern border.
We are actually from South to North 😝
Break down first and the rest of the way will be smooth!!
That’s what we’re hoping 🤞🤞🤞

How difficult would it be for non Thai speakers to hire a car and day drive from town to town and staying in hotels or Air BnB ?
😂😂😂oh dear, I like it . Honestly you both are great looking people 😂
Thank you 😁
Woah, she eating sugarcane for the 1st time? XD
Thailand steer in the right?
It's not an ocean. Why do all North Americans do that? It's the Gulf of Thailand which is a sea at best!
Because we’re used to Pacific Ocean to the west and Atlantic Ocean to the east 😅
You get it for free, not for all...
looks like a female Buddha ?
Is there a female Buddha?
Thank for all your journey with rocket hope you a go every where where with rocket . I’m waiting for it.sinnce I’m waiting for r a while.
