Great Video. I love watching all your vids which are cheerful and positive.. we are moving to Thailand in 10 days and we have been watching your travels through Thailand with great interest.. keep them coming please
I can honestly say I’ve subscribed to most of all the popular TH-cam vloggers & I can say your my number 1 favourite. I enjoy all your videos. Carry on filming the way you are !!! Top man , keep up the good work
Keep the current format; you're pretty efficient with what you cover, so the videos are great for research and inspiration, while remaining very watchable.
Yeah I agree. Love watching you just walk or scooter anywhere. It’s the closest we’ll get to being there at the moment so please don’t change anything.
No, do not cut the content. That's what makes your videos better than others (to me). Many times I've watched your 20 minute videos and felt like 10 minutes had passed and wished it could have been longer. I like that you often stop if you see a place that might be interesting instead of sticking to a planned route. The editing is done well so that nothing ever drags on.
Do not change, I like it when there is more content. I don't like people who are so full of themselves and keep on talking and trying to be interesting...Keep up the good video's😊👍
your content is spot on...too many so called YT think its all about themselves( the bloody egos)..yours is all about where you are going, the food, the places you stay, and your experiences..dont ever change what you do...this shows the true experience of travelling and the people you meet..bravo
I love watching your films and always sit with a pen and paper making notes. I love the way you walk into accommodation and show us the rooms and communal spaces. And show us prices for food and drink Thanks Cath and Kevs x
I like your lengthy content, I get more of the feel of actually being there. That's why I subscribed! 😁 love the videos where you walked down beaches checking out bungalows and prices as well.
Love your videos just the way they are. Please don't change your content, it's why we watch. I love all the content, would love more but understand how long it takes you to edit. Thanks for this week's even if it's on a Tuesday this week 😂😁
The video quality and the amount of info you share is amazing - The length of videos is never an issue - we just get hooked because of the great vibes and how much there is to see - stay safe look forward to more soon 🇦🇺😎👌🙏👍
Please keep the model you are using and continue as you like; you have a winning formula! Very intuitive, informative, and you make us feel like we are there with you. Thanks! Cheers from Alaska!!
Ok if you want my opinion: I think you do too many hotel tours, maybe make a separate video for those, most people aren't looking for a room, especially now. But it's your channel, follow your bliss, as they say. I really appreciate your efforts, you make great videos that take me back nearly 20 years and inspire me to go back one day. And you finally remembered to pronounce ko phangan correctly! 😅🌴👍
I clicked! And I love your videos. Your Thai island adventures has contributed to my raising Thailand to destination numero uno on my bucket list. Thanks.
Your content is what makes your channel unique. So why change? The thing I like most about your channel is that the point of view style makes me feel I'm right there again.
The frog was awesome! 🐸 Thanks for showing everything and sharing your likes like the shower skylight and water clarity test. 😅. Your videos are great as they are and how you feel. It’s your channel anyway! Be you man! 😎 All good things! 😁✌🏼. And Ying is very sweet! I started following her after seeing this video when it first came out. Thanks for the tips. Cheers. 🍻
I’d vote for keep doing what you’re doing. I enjoy your vids. Entertaining and informative. I think you have a knack for this. Thanks and keep ‘em coming.
Still lively in some places but due to a cluster *uck at a club last week, no alcohol in restaurants again since yesterday... (just some coffee mugs;) 7/11, shops, still ok . Thx for the sub btw, subbed back. Cheers!
Hey STL. I like your content, please dont be tempted to stick your mug in every shot. If you're going to Koh Tao, can you check out Sai Nuan beach, it's my fave on Tao. You can walk there via Mae Haad. Be cool to see if the resort has survived during Covid. Cheers bro!
Mae Hat in the north of Koh Phangan is beautiful, i learned to walk there when i was a kid, there was only 1 place that had bungalows and 1 restaurant, now theres a big resort there, still beautiful tho!
Keep it as it is, good format, informative and I can't wait for ur next vid, I know I'm gonna be transported somewhere nice when I hear that doof doof doof sawadiikrap.
She really is! And you are so fortunate to have been there on her cooking class! Anyone looking in, to see what your missing, please sub to Ying : th-cam.com/channels/HGr-iWg0esvTJGdnS2u7cA.html
Please keep content as is...or make it a bit longer and save yourself some editing time. Love all of your content and always look forward to your next video. I usually watch it on my big screen TV (for obvious reasons), and cannot see comments or ring the bell there. I ALWAYS hit the like button though. Great content to help me decide where to go on our next trip to Thailand (soon, I hope) One thought---GET A MIC!!! PJ from East Coast Canada!!
Thx Pj & about the mic, agree! Just I'm on the road and can't find a Rhode go 2 (the mic; I need;) so will have to wait til I return to Bkk, no idea when that may be tho.... meanwhile, thanks for bearing with :)
Don't cut any content, if anything I'd like it if they were longer. Myself and my girlfriend look forward to watching every video you release and could watch all evening.
Thanks but in my prev vid I visited restaurants, hotels, condos, bars, shops + an entire beach + more (to me, this is how to properly show a place to viewers & it takes a lot of effort). Meanwhile, a youtuber lady sat at a single restaurant I visited and did an entire video on it, talking throughout and got 10X more views (good on her too:). Another chap typically films a couple places, chats through the vids and also gets far more views. Another couple usually films just 1 or 2 places, chats through and also gets great views. Not disparaging this at all, they're smart for doing so, having found a simplified format which gets great views. Meanwhile, I'm filming 10-20X+ more content, which takes 10-20X+ more effort & time to make but gets far fewer views. Makes me think I need to change my format. IE: film/edit far less content and instead add more filler/chat/b-roll (for potentially far more views, ironically with far less effort;) This appears to be what most on YT want and reward.
@@SideTripLife We're just subscribers who happen to love your videos and presentation style as is. If you feel you have to do this for economic reasons who are we to argue.

Hi STL. I wonder could I pose a question to you. Looks like we'll have to cancel Samui again for November as we don't have the time available to have our holiday AND do the required hotel stay. So again very envious watching your videos but we do realise it's hard work too. My question is as you travel around to different parts of Thailand and it's otherworldly beauty do you see it and appreciate it fully or are you 'switched on' the whole time in that every stunning vista you see is material for your brilliant videos. In other words is your first reaction one of awe at the beauty or is it 'that I'll make great content'. I ask because my wife loves the scenery in my town but as I've lived here I don't see it anymore. Hope I make sense🤞
With Samui + program can roam hotel pool, grounds and direct beach if any on days 1-3 then free to roam the island and after 7 days, then free to go to Tao, Phuket etc. But the 1st 7 days costs at limited AQ hotel are a non-starter for most. So what to do? Samui in November may look very different but this is a tough call. If airline tix are refundable or a credit assured, personally would wait and see. This week there'll be announcements lessening some local restrictions. Then, as higher domestic numbers get vaxxed by say Oct, more restrictions may be eased, also the AQ requirement for Samui. I'm guessing this will be morphed to the much less costly & multiple choice (150) SHA hotels soon. Then next phase, show digital vax cert (+booster upcoming) and neg insta test and good to go. This is just my feeling on how it may go. Regarding do I take time to stop and appreciate the beauty? Absolutely! I generally film a few days then camera off and just enjoy the rest of the time (in between editing etc;). I also often return to nice places, just to enjoy and again, camera off.
No need for change. Places looks much better in point of view-footage. Your commentary + way to meet people adds enough information to these vlogs. I liked more of those longer vids, because there was more sidetrips!
A gem of an island off Thailand’s Gulf coast, Koh Phangan is a treasure trove of natural beauty, entertainment and much, much more. From its infamous parties to its pristine beaches, here are 11 reasons to visit Koh Phangan.
Love that area of Phangan, stayed for 9 days in 2006 at what was called great bay resort at the north of the beach. Is the pirate bar still at the south end?
Pirate's is there but not operating at the moment. There's still sunset drummers, guitars, etc and in front it's a bit of a nude beach, will see upcoming (well, somewhat;)
@@SideTripLife that's cool that it is still there! Have fun, definitely take a boat to bottle beach! We live in Costa Rica and make videos all over here, love it if you subbed and check out our adventures too.
Great blogs don't change a thing amigo couple questions what's documents you have to show moveing around and what's the name of the area you are in at ko phan gang ?, cheers Tony
Thanks Super Spurs. I have to show a QR code which has my past 4 months travel info and shows I've been in the same zone for past 3. Therefor I am currently allowed to move around within that same zone. However, if living here and coming from Red or Dark Red zones, must also show a neg test result. If coming from overseas, need to 1st apply for COE (certificate of entry) via your Thai Embassy. Then either book direct to Samui or Phuket for 7 day ASQ/AQ (but free to roam locally after 1st day and neg test result). Samui AQ hotels are more expensive as they are required to provide more stringent standards. Phuket is cheaper, with many lower budget ASQ hotels to choose from. Phuket will also allow ability to travel to Samui, Railay Beach, Phi Phi, Koh Yao Noi/Yai after just 7 days from Aug 1. There's only a few cases on the Islands at present (touch wood) but there is 'talk' of making a rapid test mandatory (500 baht) at ferry ports. Anecdotally, at present they are only applying this to some non-resident arrivals. More on this see FB 'Koh Tao Community Board UNCENSORED' and 'Samui Info By Nicha' and 'Koh Phangan Conscious Community' as these groups are fairly active. Ediit: Forgot to add, I am in Sri Thanu area on KPG but more vids to follow from all round the island.

yes, stay as you are doing now
Yeah I agree. Love watching you just walk or scooter anywhere. It’s the closest we’ll get to being there at the moment so please don’t change anything.

If airline tix are refundable or a credit assured, personally would wait and see. This week there'll be announcements lessening some local restrictions. Then, as higher domestic numbers get vaxxed by say Oct, more restrictions may be eased, also the AQ requirement for Samui. I'm guessing this will be morphed to the much less costly & multiple choice (150) SHA hotels soon. Then next phase, show digital vax cert (+booster upcoming) and neg insta test and good to go.

Usually is as Samui's main rainy season is between Sept-ish to Dec-ish. But also start of stormy season so can get the odd one in Aug too.
