Flora and Note's breadth of knowledge is impressive! Definitely the best guide of this type that I have seen on TH-cam.
We're glad it's helpful!
Wow guys! What a great, informative video! You are some of our favorite vloggers, and we always look forward to watching your videos! Keep up the great work! 😄 🇺🇸
Thank you so much, Carrie! That makes us so happy :) We'll working hard on a new video already!
One of the best, most informative videos on Koh Samui I’ve seen. And I’ve binged a lot of Koh Samui videos.... love the animations as well!!
Fully agreed! This video is a masterpiece. Extremely well shot, edited, concise and most importantly - pin accurate !!!
Thank you so much! We worked hard on this video and your positive feedback truly makes it worthwhile for us :)
Cannot thank you enough for your kind words! :)
Exactly, you definitely deserve more attention and views, thank you very much. Looking forward for your expanses video
We love your Koh Soumai Island information video , good job and very helpful 。Please make more new video about this beautiful Island 。Thanks again for sharing this great video 。😊❤🙏
Hey guys, since you guys are from Chiang Mai, do a moving guide to Chiang Mai too! Love more honest info from you guys.
Thank you. We'll keep sharing more honest information in our upcoming videos :) A moving guide for Chiang Mai is a great idea but we may not have the most accurate information as of now. It has changed so much since we left. Hope our video will inspire other TH-camrs in CM to make one though!
Hey Flora and Note! Absolutely love your channel and especially this video! We lived in Koh Samui for 2 months and even after leaving, we wish we saw this video sooner! Great information and you both are so kind and friendly! Cant wait to see more, take care 😊x
Thanks so much Shev and Dev! That's too bad we never got to meet in Samui. Where are you guys now? Take care and travel safe. Hope our paths will cross in Thailand some day :)
Nice Video! And I finally understand your username now!! “Wonderful” lol.
😂😂😂 thank you! I’m Flo(ra) and I like to Wander 🏝🙌🏻
Loved the video!! 😍 Super helpful and the graphics - wow! The whole thing was just amazing and so so helpful for people wanting to move to Koh Samui (or even Thailand in general)! ☀️🙏🏼
Thank you Adriana & Dylan! We put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this one 😅 Clicking that publish button has never been as satisfying!
@@FloraandNote you can TELL! It’s a masterpiece 😍
Very very good content. Super useful for people thinking about moving to Samui. Keep up the good work. Greets from the South :)
Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻 We want to share this piece of paradise :) and it would be great for the local businesses if more people are here 😁
Definitely... That's exactly why also WE do appreciate your work. Many thanks.
Great work Flora and Note....from Melbourne, Australia here. Been to Thailand 3 times, with 3 stays in Phuket, 2 in Bangkok and 2 in Khao Lak....Really hanging to get back to Thailand with Koh Samui as a priority. Been watching travel vloggers every weekend for the last 18months or since Co-vid locked us all down. You guys are as good as any and give us plenty of information on the current state of affairs in Koh Samui, where things might be very different to how they once were from a tourist's perspective. At same time your bubbly, friendly and positive outlook provide us with hope that it might be ok to travel in a not too distant future. Thanks and cheers to you 🍻🥂
Thank you for leaving us such a sweet comment! We're glad you're enjoying our vlogs, Nat! Hope you can come back to Koh Samui soon :)
Hey guys wooo hooo.... super awesome close to perfection video about Koh Samui, thank you so much for all the detailed information. Happy and glad to see your channel growing, there seems to be more views vs. subs, if we could just convert that to subs would be awesome for you guys. Keep up the lovely, fun and hilarious videos, peace, love and cheers, TF
Thanks for your support always, TF! Hope our next few videos will convince more people to subscribe to our channel! We're finally exploring outside of Samui. Stay tuned :)

From the heart ❤ a fantastic video of great and perfect travel information covering the basic and vital needs... it would be great if you can cover the rental based on the location wise which would be really good and happy for budget travelers
Thank you Sathish :) We're glad the video was helpful! We highly recommend joining the Samui BUY RENT SELL Facebook group for more information about rental prices based on location. It's also helpful to see photos of the homes.
Thank you soooo much for this video. Very complete and perfectly made. Thanks a lot and all the best!
We’re glad it was helpful! ☺️

Great videos guys, can’t wait to go retire over there.🍻👍
Thank you! 😁 Great place to retire for sure 🙌🏻
Amazing break down, we saw you on Paddy's channel. We call those fish Rock Cod in Australia. I really miss going fishing like I did in Australia, but hopefully will be able to it here in Kampot soon. We also have a TH-cam channel called For Riel and donate will our earnings to Charities in Cambodia. We are now in a curfew and many businesses have closed also so we tip everyone.
Your videos is very informative and clear , you guys did a great job....thank you
Thank you and hope it's helpful:)
Not many youtubers talk about moving to Koh Samui so this was super super helpful. Especially I wasn't sure if we can get online shopping delivered. Really helpful video since we are thinking of moving next year!
Great video guys! My wife and I have been to Samui twice and there was so much we didn't know in your video. Keep it up.... from Vancouver, Canada
I'm from Vancouver too! Glad you found our video informative :)
Fantastic video guys! Very informative and also entertaining to watch, keep it up!
Thanks so much 💕🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing, content are really useful for those interested to move to Samui.
Thanks Nick :)
Thank you for the advice about the driving permit - I had no idea 😳and we have visited Thailand a few times.
Great job! I long for the day I can return to Samui.My home away from home!
Thank you Coleen! Hopefully you won't have to wait too long :)
I love samui first place I ever went to still go back there ,this year am sure I will be there this year , keep going with your videos , they r amazing !
Thank you so much, Mark! Good luck with your trip planning :)
Thanks for your great informative video. I'd like to live in Chaing Mai for the majority of the year and then escape the smokey season from Jan to March - 3 months. Heading to Koh Samui might be the go. I have been their twice and stayed in Bohput for a week only.
Thanks for watching, Paul! That sounds like a fantastic idea. We used to go to Vietnam or Cambodia during the smokey season 😝 Of course that's pre-covid. Southern Thailand seems like a great choice.
You guys are rocking and you explain everything clear and thank you so much for having this kind of videos in your TH-cam channel superb
Thanks so much for your kind comment! 🥰🙏🏻
Brilliant video , I didn't think about renting a place but this time I will look at this thank you ❤
Glad we got you thinking about it :) We love it here in Samui, great place to be right now.
Good information for travellers
Thank you for watching 😊
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Chris RWFU is already in Samui again. Check it out subscriber party tonight
We saw as well! It's too bad we just started on a road trip or else we'd be there!
Flora and Note just subscribed great video i am getting ready to move to Thailand this is a lot of help good work
We’re glad it was helpful! Happy moving! 💕🙏🏻
I have stayed in Bophut for a few times now. At 3:06, to the left is the Smile House restaurant and I love staying at that particular resort because of its rustic charm. The Friday walking street is really fantastic. I will usually bring extra cash with me just in case I need to buy a lot of stuff and sometimes things that I might not even need haha. Great video as usual and Gong Hei Fatt Choi to you both.
Gong Hei Fat Choi to you too! We also miss the hustle and bustle of the Friday Walking Street. Bophut isn't as busy at night now but people still love going there for coffee and brunch :) There's a new cafe that's all the buzz - Fisherman's House X Sasatorn Coffee. Should add it to your list for next time!
This is a very useful video and covers all aspects of living in Koh Samui. Thank you Flora and Note, for your very informative travel vlog. I guess I need to pack up and move to Thailand soon.
Glad it's useful for you, Rene!
