Cheers! STL
I am Thai and love watching your channel. You are such an optimistic and positive TH-camr! Thank you for representing my homeland in such a positive way!
Thanks! But actually it's Thailand and Thai people which makes it easy for me to feel this way :) STL
Portable AC?!?! That's new for me! Unbelievable how friendly ppl are.
Loved that guy's camping style! For sure Thai people are so lovely. Fortunately they don't spend hours watching the likes of FOX or MSNBC etc 'shaping' the news and getting angry at the world lol
My favorite way to watch these videos is finding them on my Chromebook, then casting them to my 4k TV.
The fact I can read all the comments afterwards is the cool thing.
love the vids. No obnoxious music. Very pleasant to watch. Great job!
Agree about music. Some vloggers show nice scenery, but with ugly music.
Absolutely smartest camper I've seen. Has a high end canvas kodiak like tent with air con and camping for two at that spot for only $1.75 per day. Beautiful un crowded camp grounds.
agree!
In my humble opinion, that beach campsite is an absolute gem of a find. My idea of paradise.
I’ve been traveling to Thailand since 1997 but you’ve definitely opened up my eyes to a coastal part that I’ve never seen, much less planned to visit. I might just pick up camping from this video alone! Thank you for great videos!
Love Sam Roi Yot, we were just there last Thursday and did the river boat ride at Wat Khao Dang……also did the cave and beach last November, love the way you explain everything that you are doing and how to get there and how much it costs….another awesome video STL!
@mauihowey Nice one Howey! Loved the kayak vid & looking fwd to more of your SRY vids! Cheers, STL
The best videos on Southeast Asia, thanks STL!!!
You keep making my fingers speechless, thank you once again.
... thank you so much for your very nice pictures and advising us, that dual pricing exists in the western world as well !!!
Much luck for your journey
I do love what you're showing us in this part of Thailand, will definitely come and explore here next time from BKK later in the year.
While Australian places don't have dual pricing for any foreigners (none I'm aware of) we do have concession entry for seniors and other official concession card holders -- but I would be more than happy with the farang pricing you have shown here, it's a lot less than our usual Aussie fees (when fees apply). Some places and attractions you can get memberships or annual pass entries, but that's about all (not restricted to locals, but tourists generally wouldn't be around long enough to benefit from these deals vs daily entry).
We haven't visited an Australian national park though in a while, as we can't take our dog with us on or off the leash (in some places, not even if we just want to do a scenic drive through an area without getting out of the car). But most of our state parks are okay, and we live by the beach, and that's fine too every day.
absolutely so beautiful view😮🤗 😊🫰❤️🌴🎉🎊
Great video, great find (the secluded beach camping spot). Really love your videos.
I could watch your adventures all day. I love Thailand and especially the lovely Thai people who are so kind and welcoming. God bless 🌤️🏖️🌴
Wow, just found 'The Black Keys' thanks to this channel. Amazing band.
Particularly fond of this sedate love song: th-cam.com/video/Lebdv0eUvxs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Vgv_5p1ghhpCxC10&t=11
Been to that beach campground a few times as a teacher chaperoning school camping trips. It a great place to take school kids for camping. Nice and flat, big enough to isolate the kids from other campers, enough shade but open enough to hold activities. Good buy on the car.
Wonderful memories! Thanks for sharing :)
I am just back from there on my motorcycle. I saw that camping sign but didn't have time to explore. Wish I had now. On my to do list for next time. Thanks
Oooh!! Can’t wait for the next video!!!
Hey brother. Thanks always for posting. As like everyone else, I continue to live through your videos vicariously. Can't wait to be in your position next year!
keep them coming.. your giving me ideas for my next trip to Thailand,, most likely next year,,, Taiwan/South Korea and Japan in 2 weeks) yippy 🙂
Thanks Andy! I've always wanted to do a TW/SK/JP tour too. Will check your channel for that trip upcoming! STL
Bought a Mazda protege 3 back in 2009 drove to Samui Cha Am and Koh Chang and all over Bangkok and Hat Yai in 2013. Enjoy the ride my man.
Yes a great place. Did a road trip similar to yours but I was going the other way. Heading back soon. Beautiful.
More please...🤩
I love your vids and happy attitude. The details and explanations are great !
After Hiring a scooter and heading South on the Island of Corfu, I saw a small road on my left, It looked more like someone`s drive, I thought I would see where it went.... There was an Old Woman that gave me Dark looks but did stop me...I kept going for about 2-3 miles..... I came out inbetween some cliffs to a Totally deserted beach.... It was pristine..... I stayed for about an Hour, nobody came I was alone on a Beautiful Beach..... Once in a life time event... Side trips rule.... :-))))
@shirleyboy Nice one! 'Side trips rule' hear-hear! STL
@@SideTripLife Keep up your Great Work STL...... :-)))
Love your Vids, Bud. Can't wait to be back in Thailand in Nov🌞🌞🌞🌞
Ohhhhh…to be a fly on the dashboard of your side trip life - it really doesn’t get any better than this! Thailand beach glamping looks amazing. Sometimes I watch your videos first thing in the a.m., other times (albeit it difficult), I save them for a p.m. treat. Either way, they are the BEST part of my day. Thank you for another winning video STL!
Great video as always, love the price indications, the camera showing the road ahead, the commentary. Well done.
ALSO THAT WAS THE MOST AMAZING ROAD IVE EVER SEEN. Short or long your videos make my day. Love from 🇨🇦
I used to go here on weekends 15 years ago. I miss PKK. Living in Cambo now but will go to PKK this winter.
Always nice hearing your cheerful commentary and attitude.😃 (Hope you got to see some elephants too! Lol😅)
Great video. Thanks for lovely virtual experience. You are a great guide! 🤗
Thank you! 😃 STL
Great Video ! Great idea! Camping in Thailand with AirCon - I would double like this video, if can do it !
Thanks! Thank you for your work STL
Thank YOU Karl! STL
I noticed the video quality in your intro look much more crisp and sharp, like maybe 4K. Is it the camera or your post production (or my eyes). Very nice!
Great eyes! Yep, the intro is 4K. The rest is usually 1080/60. The reason is 4K files can be 4X larger thus a lot more time consuming to file transfer and cumbersome to edit. Many popular youtubers who post more frequently use cloud storage and have online video editors taking care of the heavy lifting. I'm still doing it the old fashioned way lol
I missed show much while in Thailand. I will have to do that route.
Fantastic as always STL, you inspire on every side trip! Keep them coming 😀
I normally drive straight from HH to Phuket ,but this video has given me a few new ideas - cheers
Nice show, I know alot of Americans that live in PKK. I should b back there again this fall. Cold and Rainy here in Michigan. Stay cool,kind and generous.
You do some excellent videos !! 😁
Great video as always and good editing. You are so good !!! WOW
i would love to camp there
I'll be interested to see your thoughts on PKK in the next video, as opposed to the one you made a few years ago! But I think I can say in advance, that nothing toooo world shattering happens there, it's a very laid back place.
Great vid. ! Thank you ! 🙏
My pleasure!
Hiya STL. Your videos always have great content and are informative.
So much nicer for you to have the car.
Definitely camping in style. Air con. Love it.
Glad they found their dog. Cars go on for years as long as they're well-maintained.
Happy Tuesday.
I look forward to every new video😊,wish you all the best🙏
Thank you! You too! STL
Superb +1 😀👍.
hi from Türkiye 🇹🇷 🤟
Excellent
Hi there, I'm a new member of your site. Love all the beautiful landscape, sunsets, great hotels deals and the tasty foods at wonderful prices..
I have a question I hope you answer for me.. your drone that you use. I was wondering what brand it is and if you would recommend it. I've been looking around and yes it would be my first time getting one..
thank you for making me fall in love with Bali and Thailand❤
Welcome! DJI mini 2. Perfect travel drone.
@@SideTripLife thank you for answering my question.
Didn't know about car vs bike. Thank you 🙏
Just when I thought ontarions (and BC-erz) owned glamping outright. What a great video!
Thanks eh;) Ontario's lake country and BC's back country are both pretty amazing but camping in Thailand is really becoming a great option too.
@@SideTripLife camping on the beach looked incredible! Another thing added to the “Must do in Thailand” list from Side Trip Life
Nice!!!!
Thanks for continuing to inspire another Canuck with something to strive for in life. Gives me lots of ideas to achieve when I reach retirement to keep myself busy. Beautiful country. I love your laid back style and classic Canadian friendliness. Cheers.
Another great STL Vid ... Even though as British Glam Rock band The Sweet sing, I personally prefer a bit more "Action Action Action" (-: Your "Trilogy Island Vids" are still your best and are absolute timeless Classics and i have watched them all dozens and dozens of times. Well done. Highly recommended by Bond ... Leo Bond (-:
Nice drop!
In Vancouver, be right there!
Wow everything I watch your videos the more I fall in love with thailand I really do need to take 3months of work and explore..thanks for the content
Thx K2P. Best pop over for a reg 2 week vacay first. Good luck. STL
@SideTripLife yh would love to but I'm from uk so I think I'll need atleast 3 weeks as it's 14hr flight ✈️
3 weeks is probably ideal actually, enjoy!
Luv ur vids! Seen past vids ...r u from Vancouver BC ???
Great vid. How about that portable Aircon?
A+
Camping on a beach
200 baht is a no brainer -
😃🙏👌👍
Esp with a portable a/c;)
I love your vids but I gotta say that the train from BKK to Hua Hin is miserable. With the new train station I hope they've upgraded the train or is it waiting on the new Chinese High Speed expansion?
Uh oh, didn't take the 3rd class non a/c train I hope?? The one I took was the 2cnd class a/c, gotta book in advance usually. New carriages are on the way as well as new dual tracks (no more waiting on a siding off the single track). This should make train travel to HH less than 3 hrs (they're saying 2.5 hrs, we'll see).
@@SideTripLife Yeah, on that day the schedule wasn't accurate. The train was broken or reallocated or whatever. The train we took was barely faster than walking and without A/C. Dunno how another train would be faster as we never really got up to speed and it stopped continually.
Looks like my cup of tea! Any recommendation on car rental Hau Hin?
Have a look online for HH Car rentals, also on FB etc. Can usually get a decent late model Vios or other compact for 800 baht/$22 day (or less sometimes, esp weekly or longer rates).
Without a doubt, I will be visiting these beautiful haunts this year. Do you ever find any problems with renewing the 30 day visa?
I'm on a yearly visa but from what I hear many are getting up to 180 days on tourist visas with extensions & renewals (milage may vary depending on imm officer, stamps, presentation, etc of course). STL
There was someone sitting on those sacks too (at 3:00). Insane.
Great video.. maybe I missed it but did you find a new place to live?
I am considering Thailand for retirement. I am thinking southern part of country because im looking for beautiful beaches and laid back living. What do you suggest
Hey STL, how do you cope with the visa issue and having to leave each month is there any chance you could do an in-depth video about the best ways to stay in Thailand for a longer term. cheers few videos matey...👍
I'm on a yearly visa and so not up to speed too much on tourist type visas. I hear many are managing 180 days on tourist visas (some longer). But of course depends on the imm officer, how many stamps, border point vs airport, one's presentation, etc etc. Over 50 retirement visa must show either 65k THB/$1900 USD month income or 800kTHB/$23,000 USD in a Thai Bank account 3 months prior to applying. Many under 50's get other visas such as ED/education visa (to learn Muay Thai, Thai Language etc) but they're cracking down on abusers thus milage may vary. There's also the 'Elite Visa' option. Prices range from 600,000 Baht/17k USD for a 5-year visa to 2 million Baht/56k USD for a 20 year visa. Could do a vid on this but I'm no expert and many have already.Cheers STL
I just came back from the Vancouver Islands although it is not Thailand It made me realise that if you have a lot of money to blow Canada can be beautiful too
Thx I Am Hulk. Love my home, especially in summer. Just watched a couple on YT noodle along up the coast in an old Trawler, beautiful nature, beautiful weather, really made me miss home! Still pondering a trip back but maybe Sept after the hols. Meanwhile, Thailand sure has many wonderful Ntnl Parks & much natural beauty to enjoy too. STL
Every single video you make is to long... This one is NOT to short...
lol! JJ, one of my longest subscribers, always hits the mark ;) STL
$6 to sleep till Brooklyn! Courtesy of STL boys...
Awesome editing and video, as usual 🙏👍 Great job!
Bought a tent in Krabi at some sports store in 2015, took it down to the far South to Koh Tarutao and stayed on an idyllic beach for cheap at the second stop. The Park Rangers and their wives cooked for us each day. Great hikes and gave us mountain biked to go to the other side and an old prison camp. Nobody there, they all went onto the popular party islands. Stayed on a few spots for 10 days. At the end gave the park the tent and sleeping bags and they have us the stay for free. Came to a wash. The monkeys though, they'll get your tent if you aren't careful.
Just a question, as a foreigner living in Thailand what kind of documents/paperwork do you need to be able to purchase a vehicle?
Primarily needed a certificate of local residence (from immigration or your embassy). This is usually done showing a rental contract but I hear can also ask your guesthouse or hotel to provide (??) I also brought photocopies of my Thai DL and Visa but some say only a copy of PP is 'required' (not sure). A MUST is car must have a blue book (proof of ownership) and also check if road tax is paid up. STL
@SideTripLife hey STL thanks for the reply and information provided, I will look into it!
Ps. Your video on Wizdom Connect in Punnawithi is the reason why I moved here so thank you🙏
Great video but stop going on about the new car and dual pricing!!!
Noted :) PS, don't watch this vid: th-cam.com/video/ZQzlx-KoHeg/w-d-xo.html
Hello, You have said you are going to return to visit lombok at dry season . I am just thinking where to go next
Last year few of my Thai-centric viewers watched my Lombok & Toba series but the few who did seemed to really enjoy. Despite low view #s, I may still head back (watch this space;). Meanwhile, in case any would like to see:
LOMBOK: th-cam.com/video/9wn77A0qhcw/w-d-xo.html
SUMATRA: th-cam.com/video/I_p-PLQo5CM/w-d-xo.html
My vote is to definitely head back. Those were my favorite videos.
Yo dude. You should tell the temperature every once in a while. And time of day. Also month you're in if current.
Peep the band My Morning Jacket if you haven't.
around 32C, late afternoon, June 2023 . Will try lol
Morning Jacket, cool band thx. On One Big Holiday, noted the Indo/Balinese puppets
At Dawn full album is on youtube. And the red acoustic album is a gem. You'll love it. I'm sure of it.
$1,500 for a car? You scored big time…..noice!
try dual charging in the UK. there would be riots blocking the road.
Hopefully we can purchase land in Thailand soon. I'll sell my place and move there asap.
They keep bringing up the possibility every couple years (perhaps just sending up trial balloons to test public reaction as is often the case here). Meanwhile, my own home of Vancouver plus Toronto have instituted restrictions on Foreign home purchases (and now Australia and others considering same). Makes sense in that if Thailand simply said ok foreigners, you can buy land now, it would have a dramatic effect and likely price the avg Thai out of their own home market (sound familiar?). Perhaps a modified plan and restricted to niche zones (ala Phuket Laguna area) etc may come around again, or married to a specific visa like the 10 year LTR visa program (ala Malaysia's M2H - but now increased threshold). We shall see. STL
@SideTripLife that's true it will most likely cause the price of homes to be out of reach for the many locals. I just don't like apartments and would love to live in Thailand permanently in a home. We'll see. Cheers mate.
@sidetriplife any Thai I have asked their opinion about this - they are All Against allowing foreigners to buy houses freely ( some very passionately against ) so I really can't see any official plan being ever implemented - despite our wishful thinking
It would just drive up prices for locals
All my favorite Asia vloggers put their vids out at 5am lol.
Sorry bout that! The stats tell me majority of my viewers are online at this time. Yet majority are from USA so something doesn't add up? Have tried a couple 8 a.m. EST Sunday drops which were flops. Might try again and see. Thanks
I’m arriving at Hua Hin 5 September if you want to sell the car I’d be interested 😊
Mosquitoes ??
Wasn't bad at all but mossie spray in case of course
Love the videos. Port Coquitlam, BC native here. Do people not have fires when camping or hanging out at the beach? I’ve watched almost all you videos and have never seen a fire pit in any of them. Just wondering if people roast marshmallows or hotdogs🤷🏼♂️
Thanks SenorBeaver (great handle lol;). The camper in the vid said fires were not permitted at least at that site (officially rainy season btw). Poco? Love Golden Ears Park in your backyard too! STL (N. Van native;)
@@SideTripLife Yes Poco. Heading to Golden Ears this weekend actually for a night. The wild fires haven’t hit BC as hard as the East coast yet (hopefully not at all) so camp fires are still allowed. Love the content btw. Heading to check out some spots in Thailand hopefully in the new year. Your videos really help with planning and the price breakdowns are stellar. Safe travels and maybe we’ll cross paths in the future.
Love your work. I've 2 questions. Where can I see more details on this property: th-cam.com/video/UGULDGxOE0s/w-d-xo.html
And where are you based when you are not travelling?
Thanks! Based in Bangkok. Pls see: th-cam.com/video/4hsZiL3q2Bc/w-d-xo.html

Cut out the recaps and previews
Apologies Scott. I get that the recaps & previews can be annoying esp for reg viewers. However, it's really for newer viewers to bring em up to speed on what's up and where. Will try to cut them down to under 30 secs from current 50-60 seconds. STL
Love your channel, but charging more for non-residents (your examples) is not the same as charging more for non-Thai nationals (who if expat are residents and pay the same taxes as Thai people).
Fair comment Frank. Also, for sure Expats contribute much more per person to local Thai communities and families. However, the other inequity would be Thai min wage which is still officially 353 Baht/$10 per day (Bkk). Since many Thais work 12 hours per day that works out to less than $1 per hour. Compared to the West that's avg 10x+ less. So to be truly fair, Thais would have to make 10 bucks per hour, not per day. Of course then Thailand would really become as expensive as back home and many Expats who complain about dual pricing would complain about equity pricing (not saying you btw). My own view is if my paltry subsidy allows even 1 less fortunate Thai kid the ability to access their own Ntnl Parks, great! Thailand will be like Singapore soon enough, meanwhile perhaps best to ante up a couple bob more once in a while and just enjoy as is. Cheers, STL
I love how you're immediately ok with dual pricing and don't even bother pointing out it goes against equality and promotes discrimination. Society decided making black people sit at the back of a bus and use different water fountains was wrong, but creating a two tier system (which will always create some people getting treated better and some people worse) is totally ok? Can a grocery store make you pay more for food because you are a man, or because you are white? Should Asians pay more for medicine or should gay people pay more for housing? Do you see how treating two people differently is a MASSIVE problem?
That was quite a gymnastic penmanship effort evoking civil rights etc with a Park fee lol. I'm simply pointing out the reality: This isn't just a Thailand thing and one can choose to get bent out of shape over it, or, pony up a couple bucks more and enjoy a day out at a fantastic site. Will paste my longer response to another commenter below:

@@SideTripLife You can ‘pony up’ all the extra money you want… I don’t think I, nor anyone else should ever pay a different price than any other human being, anywhere, anytime. Fair is fair.
Yep, fair is fair. Thus, glad to hear you're all for giving the Thai kids a 10x min wage raise to Western standards so we're all equal then. Of course everything else you pay for here will have to rise commensurately and exponentially, ie food, housing, hotels, transport, etc etc etc. But we'll all be equal, earning/paying same, good stuff. As we've both had our say, let's call it a done discussion and thanks for sharing your views. Cheers, STL

they might have dual pricing, but i vote with my wallet and they're not going to see my money, so their loss. anyway, the sheep will pay as always.
