Me and my husband (he proposed on Koh Tao) ended up retning the first two stories house in sairee hut resort for three weeks, two years ago. Was nice to see that it still stands. ☺️ Miss Koh Tao so much. Stuck in sweden. 😢
I appreciate that it is bad time for Thai's in the hotel and entertainment industry but what a time to be in Thailand and have the place to yourself. Lucky bar steward!
Great watching, you're soooooo lucky lad. With not so many people you can venture where you're not really supposed to go, but in the interest in fair play I will keep watching to make sure you don't get into mischief....keep doing your stuff man. Bri and frei east Yorkshire.
Go to La Jolla in San Diego. You can see literally 6+ feet (in depth) of sand disappear and reappear completely naturally from one day to the next. I saw this happen at Marine Street Beach.
Hi, i just want to say a big thank you for your channel. You help us a lot to survive the wanderlust ;) Hope to see many more of your videos. Especially this current series will be the base for our next holiday...hopefully next year 🤞 Greetings from Germany 🙏
Hi I'm from the future in Feb 2024. Still an amazing place to visit although they don't allow boat shoes so had to walk barefoot on the planks and up the hill to the viewpoint. Great snorkelling and even with 2k people a day, worth it. What an amazing world we live in.
Hey there. Thought I would say that I enjoy your videos, they make me homesick. I too am from BC and lived in Thailand from 2004 until 2008 in most of the locations you have shown and some not shown. Keep up the good work and stay safe
Hello my friend hope you are well. Sorry we haven't been able to visit you for a while we were in Bulgaria then Malta were we got stuck due to Covid and flights we're cancelled. But great to catch up with you again. This is such a great adventure. Thanks so much for taking us along with you. We were meant to be in Thailand right now but it was cancelled. Gutted. Stay safe and catch up again real soon.
I walked up to get a bungalow as they screwing the Lock into the door of a brand New lead bungalow. I was the first to atay in it. They kept saying "number 1!"
Chiang Mai to Ko Tao is a very long journey, i would like to visit there but don't fancy spending all day to get there. It's a beautiful island, great videos!
Greetings from your frigid North Land ;) Great video thanks for sharing! Can't wait for this craziness to be over and enjoy a cold Leo looking at the sunset. BTW very impressed with the language skills.
With all your nice attitudes shown in this vid, I hope many more foreign visitors are like you. Mai pen rai. Laughing of small bad stuff. Maybe you have lived in Thailand too long. From Canadian alum.
ST..that island is something out of a dream..lol..as much as I know the lack of tourism is hurting..it would have been amazing to have the island all to yourself. Not going to lie..the restrictions we have in Vancover is starting to bum me out..but seeing the vlogs really help to deal..Looking forward to the next Vid.
@Ricardo Celli Lil Nang Yuan is truly a paradise Island and for sure I'm lucky to be here especially at this time. Looks like a few more hard yards for Vancouver (my home eh;) and others, then better days ahead. Hopefully followed by Thailand re-opening in the not too distant future!
I am happy to see your videos are getting traction. Well shot and informative as always,but most important not touristy. Being a photographer I know the value of your work. Keep it up.
When I was there in 2010 I didn’t see many people going out to Nang Yuan. I frankly don’t think there were even 10,000 tourists on Koh Tao. I’m curious to see how it has changed. Next time I’m there I think I’ll try to swim out to Nang Yuan, probably with snorkel gear.
No worries. IF (or rather when) Thailand incorporates and enforces all of one's 'desired' nanny state rules and regs same as 'back home', may as well just stay home then....(zzzz) In this case, yes, I belatedly saw some potential danger but could have just called the boat guy to come back. However, the challenge just added to the adventure and made it across just fine thx. Loved it actually! Cheers
Yes, be careful renting bikes ANYWHERE (not just KT or Thailand;). But in this case, she charged just 150 baht ($5) delivered the bike to my hotel, then took time to point out any scratches etc (and asked me to film also:) . Then she gave safety instructions, took a photo of my Passport and off I went. Lovely lady, great service, superb price :):):)
@@SideTripLife yes she seemed nice! Both me and my friend got ripped of in Sairee on different occasion, but that was many years ago and hopefully things have changed to the better now. Great video by the way! Going back as fast as you can travel without quarantine 😇
kop kun krap my dear !!!!!!! fantastic wanderful !!! i love the Thailand i want came there !!!! please !!! when ????????????? kissss from Italy i don t like !!!!!!!!!!!!! Sawadi krap !!!!
@Mattias Sjöborg Tack Mattias:) btw once you see the project I'll be launching (very soon;) some may wonder how I found time to film or edit at all lol. But will do, more travel & vids to come between waiting on coders, Phangan & Samui too. Meanwhile, hang in there, things are starting to look up to get un-stuck & hopefully in the not too distant future!
Have been there 3 times ....2 times was totall chaos ; over 1000 Chinese tourists [ who can't swim !! ] screaming in the water. Empty bags and bottles everywhere...HORROR ! The third time we were staying at Koh Tao and took a private boat early moring , then it looked like this ..EPIC !!! So, if anyone wants to visit in the future, take a private boat and go very early !!! Avoid the crowds !! !
Sure, $60 for a cottage on an idyllic tropical isle paradise may seem a bit pricey but It's all relative. For example, pay a bit more in my home town and you might get a crappy motel 6... Or, instead of staying on that secluded exclusive island, stay at Sairee Beach opposite for less than $30 and enjoy dinner from $2 or less. There, sorted :)

Miss Koh Tao so much. Stuck in sweden. 😢
Nice! Thanks for sharing & hope you both & all get unstuck in the not too distant future :)
Very good, Keep them coming, The lady with the powered suitcase was hilarious.
Amazing Nang Yuan beach. Now I know how to get there from your clip. Thanks.
Excellent. Loved the views. Just heaven.
Love the wind noise. Like being there. Thank you.
Me too! Cheers!
Nice vid very beautiful there and in the 1080p it's still very good quality - thanks for sharing big thumbs up from UK 🇬🇧 👍
Ko Nang Yuan is a small island very close to Ko Tao. It is famous for its diving spots and its great snorkeling beach.
Did all my dive training there, so easy to walk in and shelves perfectly for beginners.
I appreciate that it is bad time for Thai's in the hotel and entertainment industry but what a time to be in Thailand and have the place to yourself. Lucky bar steward!
Great watching, you're soooooo lucky lad. With not so many people you can venture where you're not really supposed to go, but in the interest in fair play I will keep watching to make sure you don't get into mischief....keep doing your stuff man. Bri and frei east Yorkshire.
that's a really nice little island.... wouldn't mind stay in those huts for a night or 2 for the view.... even without wi-fi....
What an adventure, very interesting,

Another great video, you are one of the best Thailand vlogers, great photography, very informative and love the maps too, thank you.
Very nice work, thank you👏👏👏👏
Even the board walk is worth the trip
@Johnny Siam Yep, agreed Johnny. Really the whole place is a gem.

Thanks TD in BC! Great to have those memories of Thailand and may you make more in the future. Cheers! eh;)
Did you work as a dive instructor when you were there?
Super special place 🙏 wow - Thanks for sharing 🙏🇦🇺👍 postcard pic from every angle 🙏

I hope Thailand will never be as expensive as S'pore in terms of lodging, right now everywhere there is so affordable in Thailand.
Awesome video, defiantly on my list of things to do along with Pai canyon when i return......thanks for the wonderful 4 part series!
@mauihowey Thank you :) Will be in Pai very soon actually. Stay tuned!
8:46 , right side, blue thing /bottle. there is the normally stop for the boats. So when they leave you you came from this place.
Chiang Mai to Ko Tao is a very long journey, i would like to visit there but don't fancy spending all day to get there. It's a beautiful island, great videos!
Yet another great video with cracking scenery. 👍😁❤️
The dodgy-ness is all apart of the adventure! Ugh can't wait to get back to Thailand! Great vid!
Mini Vaca Was GLORIOUS ~ Thanks again*
WoW, that place is so cool : )

Cheers Oz Pan (speaking of panning, I STILL move way too fast, it's in my dna;)
Hit the jackpot bro , should have stayed longer 555, thanks anyway , Joey from Australia,, stuck here for now,,
well done!
wow that bird here

Had my end of January holiday cancelled last week..absolutely gutted..
@Greg Buitendyk Sorry to hear that Greg. Better days ahead, hopefully in the not too distant future so hang in there!
Such beautiful scenery. where are the people ?
Psst: There's a worldwide event going on... but people will return, better days ahead
Thanks for the video. What time is better to go to the island, to avoid high tide?
At low tide... lol! Joking, best to consult online tide chart/times & then reference those with the local boat operators, they'll know.
Most depressing about that is that the menu that has been there for the last 10 years are still there. And the price is stay the same :P
4:47 drive-by-wire 😁
Yes we can hear you're Canadian.
😉
Thx eh ;)
I wish i can just step through my monitor.
Nice one mate ....keep it up. RobbieHH
Min 08:00 , dont climb to top Rock means: dont be a pussy..Go Up ist the best View to the Island,have fun and enjoy 😁
555! done n done ;)
@@SideTripLife ฝรั่งจะเข้าใจหรอครับ ไอ้555 เนี่ย
@ชเนศ วงศ์วิทยานนท์ Right, should add that '5' in Thai is pronounced as 'HA'. (555 = hahaha ;)
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is nice but the boat guy left you at a really shitty place say if you had gotten injured all alone. for 2 hours.
No worries. IF (or rather when) Thailand incorporates and enforces all of one's 'desired' nanny state rules and regs same as 'back home', may as well just stay home then....(zzzz) In this case, yes, I belatedly saw some potential danger but could have just called the boat guy to come back.

can you look KAPADOKYA
Hi Os, would LOVE to visit Turkey! Looks amazing! Soon hopefully as things are looking up!
Be careful renting bikes on Koh Tao, they tend to rip you off there 😜

Krabi is a beautiful area but what a shame is so many boats with diesel engines
Soooo Jealous of you . Stuck in Sweden , but youre videos help a bit . Hurry Up Editing :-)

I Couldn't have made it. LOL
No worries Deb, in 'normal' times this secondary dock is a-ok and even now the main dock is perfectly fine.
lovely island, but pricy
Sure, $60 for a cottage on an idyllic tropical isle paradise may seem a bit pricey but It's all relative. For example, pay a bit more in my home town and you might get a crappy motel 6... Or, instead of staying on that secluded exclusive island, stay at Sairee Beach opposite for less than $30 and enjoy dinner from $2 or less. There, sorted :)
