Just came upon your channel. Great content, and LOVE the music you use for your videos! Keep up the Great work! Maybe you can touch on Long term rentals for people who may want to live here full time. Thank you.😃
At 19:56 when you said wow, imagine living there I was lucky enough to live in one of those near the top for about 3 months the sunsets were incredible!
I recently discovered your channel. Great work. I was on my way for a 3-yr Vlogging tour through here Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Burma, Bangladesh, India & Sri Lanka, but decided to stop at the Hawaiian Islands for a yr, but ended up stranded here b/c of Covid. Hoping to resume next yr. It appears you & Mickey Stotch are beating me to this. I lived & worked in Cambodia + Thailand from 2005 to 2012, now missing there a lot. Keep up the great work! Loving it!
Another great video showing us your travels. Much better than being in Vancouver or Portland or pretty much anywhere else. Looking forward to the next video.
ST another great video..love the voice over..for me it makes the vlog more personal. Sad to see the island so empty but like you said “better days are ahead”. All the best
@Ricardo Celli Thanks RC! For sure things are starting to look up. It may take a bit longer but here's hoping all who wish to return can and in the not too distant future!
Great video, it looks so empty of people. Your thai is good, but learn more will be brilliant. I try and learn more from my thai wife but it is so difficult to learn,especially when you get to my age. I found I forget lots of thai when I'm back in england, your lucky you can hear thai language all the time when you're back home in Bangkok. Great relaxing video, love your positive outlook. Bri and frei east Yorkshire.
@BBRIT (fitting innit;) Thx Tony, she seemed very nice and you can tell she knows animals and they trust her (a good sign of character;). The animal clinic appears to be doing a great job there, good on Nicki and all who contribute to a worthy cause.
Another great video, thanks. I have heard those Spotted Bull Frogs after a hard Thai rain while on the island of Koh Larn off of Pattaya. I was in my room late at night with my Thai girl lulling off to sleep when they started up as loud as can be. I said to her, “What the hell is THAT!!??”. She started laughing. It was like the Thai.version of , My Cousin Vinny. lol Also happy to see the dogs being taken care of. When I got back to the States last summer (2019), I started an official, tax exempt, non-profit to specifically help animals in Thailand and other SE Asian countries. It became official in March. By then the virus hit so it’s all on hold for now.. I am looking forward to your next episode.
Have been following your chanell for a while...You have your personality and are telling your life in a very plesent way👍...Thought you didnt want to speek in your wloggs but that was allright..Now when you speak AND put in the text then its bullseye 🙌👍...Just be and enjoy us 👍💯
You should of gone to Ko Samet or Koh Chang for the better weather, the Southern part of Thailand gets a lot more rain at this time of year. Like your vlogs you put a lot of effort in them with all the details etc👍
Nice video. Looking forward to go back. Any concerns about travelling and the Covid situation ? I am writing form cold and dreary Quebec and envy your climate even with the rain.
Okay, as you suggested I am looking at your other videos. I still haven't been contacted by locals with best deals on places to stay long term when I asked for some in your other videos... So if you could possibly reach out to them I'm sure we all appreciate it much. I have been looking everywhere and deals are so awesome now.. But my heart is still in Thailand. I lived in Thailand three years in same condo so... Long term okay if everything is in order. Need the heat... And that rainfall while sitting under shelter looks so soothing. I know it is. I hope things get better there soon... It's such a different Thailand than we knew before. Soon Good video. Cheers!
Hi, sorry I have no contacts or affiliation (nor receive any commissions etc) from any of the places shown. Asking them to contact you back in the comments of my video seems a long shot. Perhaps best note the name of the place, search for their website and contact them directly. Last, pls note the prices shown were just prior to Christmas/NY and may change + or -. Good luck:)
Hi I am enjoying your vids, keep up the good work. I am Canadian as well and I was wondering about your $ conversion. you said your breakfast was 100 Baht/ $3.25. Is that the exchange rate you are getting in Thailand. When I look at my App XE Currency Converter it is giving 100 Baht @ $4.26 Canadian. Just curious. Thanks
@Remy & Holly Hi, when you see $ being quoted, I'm referring to USD, not our CAD peso... To factor Canadian FX rate, pls refer to our Aussie cousins rupiah rate and add approx 10%.
@@SideTripLife I actually googled it and I think you got the new phone from oppo. and come to think of it, I think you stated as such either 1 or 2 videos back? I would love to get my hands on one, but because it's a chinese phone, I sincerely doubt it will work in the US as every tech item from china is probably not going to be able to work due to "national security issue"... but I will be looking forward to your phone video.
Call me a loonie but you'll see in next vid I deke around that tight spot eh. Then give'r and will continue to as long as I have a toonie or two to do so. Meanwhile, wishing all many double-doubles (or two-fours, high test pls;) plus beaver tails and happy trails ahead. Cheers eh!
Yes & sadly some are without owners as they're stuck overseas. Fortunately local Thais & Expats have been taking care and feeding, also helping the local animal clinic too. Never came across any mean or bike-chasing dogs on Koh Tao, quite the opposite actually. All friendly and some lonely pooches too but all well cared for. Hats off to all in the Koh Tao community for pitching in despite personal hard times, KUDOS!
The "Trilogy Islands," as I call them, would have to be the best destination to go in Thailand ... In research mode now. Taking lots of screenshots for future reference. Tick Tock. LEO drinking LEO'S ... "Commencing countdown, engines on" ...

Love your videos.. How nostalgic.. I was there in 2018 and i hope to be there back soon.. I'm in love with Koh Tao..
Thai people are really humble.
I love their way of talking and infectious smile.
Your videos are getting better and better, love how you speak more now. Awesome stuff.
Ok I’ve watched 3 videos now. And I want to move to Thailand. Oh yeah you’ve earned my sub. Keep em coming
Awesome & doesn't matter to me Beach Life would be awesome Sun/Rain/Wind/* Great Video*...

another trip down memory lane, the girl you spoke to was Nicki from the animal clinic, love your videos brother

Thanks for the content in those times! Is the high bar Stil open? 🤔
Enjoy your time!
Yes it is :)
And Natural High too
high bar never closes lol
Great video.
IMO it is more beautiful without mass tourism.
Yes, I'm agree. But there is an other side of the medal! For this Thailand has to find a solution.

Cliffhanger LOL
