@sidetriplife I saw Ruang Talok 69 the series. It was great. I could not find the movie itself for streaming. thanks for the recommendation
You are a pleasure to hang out with. I appreciate getting to discover places thru you
Hello from London 😊, Me and my Thai wife have watched your vlogs since lockdown and without a doubt you are definitely one of our favourite TH-camr’s.. for example: Kanom, my Thai wife had never heard of the place, and now it’s one of our go to places, and the quality of your vlogs are excellent, we love the fact that you don’t just driver the 1 hour from a to b, you actually stop off and investigate every condo / restaurant on the way making the hour trip 5 times longer, and that is something that some people don’t appreciate the work in this and the editing of your videos are top notch …. We just wish we didn’t have to wait so long between your vlogs 😊 cheers to you Sir 🙏🙏🇹🇭🇹🇭🍻🍻
Such a lovely comment, thank you both:) STL
My hometown Jakarta!! So refreshing to see from a tourist's point of view
Terima kasih! Love your hometown :) Loads more to come. STL
Seems Jakarta has greatly improved the airport and the link into the city centre, since I was last there about 10 years ago. I’ve just come back on a short trip to Bali and found the locals extremely friendly, though especially Ubud very crowded with tourists and the traffic on the narrow roads a nightmare! Would say the prices for hotels and restaurants are pretty similar to Thailand, as is the quality!
Roy, just checked your channel to see what you've been up to and that London Blues Club looked fantastic! Reminded me of old Vancouver Gastown clubs like The Town Pump. Any looking in, Roy's an OG traveller, have a look at his channel. Cheers! STL
Watched till the end....Jakarta nicer than expected. Looking forward to seeing the island you are going to.
I'm heading to Thailand in less than 3 weeks. Was hoping to meet up. I'll be there for several months.
Welcome back (almost) Jeff! The island(s) upcoming are idyllic, beaches sublime, people lovely, great vibe and almost unknown to Westerners. Looking fwd to showing y'all. STL
From an old business traveler who logged several hundred thousand miles every year, now I won’t take a flight over 2 hours. I returned to Thailand a year and a half ago to live, and the flight was 30 hours from the US. Had jet lag for almost 2 weeks.
What a surprise! I always thought Jakarta was just a big sweaty, heaving metropolis.
It’s nice and modern. Might have to check it out.
Jakarta can definitely be heaving and sweaty (like most SE Asia Capitals) but also absolutely world class, plus lovely people and a nice blend of traditional & classic mixed with ultra modern (as we'll see coming up)
I can't wait to see what lies ahead on your journey around some beautiful islands
I really love your vlogs. I was in Indonesia in 2001, and it is unrecognizable now! Like night and day. Literally everything is different and new.
Hiya STL.
Sounds like a good film.
The food court. The food looked so good and so cheap.
The London bathrooms. Is cool.
I always love your longer videos. Please do more. And love travel days. Always informative.
Gorgeous place to escape the rainy season.
Those solar charging stations are a great idea.
Love your old cars. Classics.
Nice room and so cheap.
Nice rooftop vibes. Great views.
Your dinner looked tasty.
Lovely to have two pools. I always watch from start to finish. Like, and Share.
The beach at the end looks gorgeous.
Looking forward to the next one. See you on the next one. Thank you for sharing.
Have a great weekend.
Thank you Nicky! Note London still in the 20's (Indian summer we call it;) So enjoy having Buddy walk you thru the parks and will try to catch up on your vids too! Cheers, STL
Always watch to the end lol. I was disappointed at first that you were leaving Thailand but you still managed to keep me watching. I'm now looking forward to the next one x
Thanks! As Arnie says "I'll be baaack" lol
Just watched all of your Hua Hin and PKK videos. Just bought a house in Hua Hin. Love this area and can't wait to explore some of the places you shared. Thanks.
In Thailand now. Heading down to Koh Chang for a few days on the island. Half of my 30 day visit is already behind me. Regretting my approching departure. I'll be back on a more permanent basis within the year... unless the Thai government screws up the retirement visa and foreign income taxation laws, as they're now blustering about.
Great video! I repost everything you do, man. You got a way of making feel what it would be like to go to the places you film. Just love all the the practical info you include. Really appreciate it! Thanks from a Vancouver traveler in Mexico!!
I really love your videos great work and comments. My husband and I are US citizens retired young with a US business. We are traveling thru Indonesia right now. Kuta Beach, Bali Pemuteran, Banyuwangi, ferry, train to Yogajakarta, now in Kuta Beach, Lombock. Heading to Sengiggi/Gilis. So far I like Thailand so much more food, culture, Buddhists, beaches, etc.
Wow, epic trip guys! I really loved Lombok's off the beaten track places. Perhaps keep an eye on this series, a very non-touristic & idyllic tropical Island upcoming
Thank you for your wonderful videos. Next trip to Hua Hin I will definitely take the train. Last year I took the old train all the way to Ipoh. Quite the adventure for this octogenarian. Find memories of a life well lived.
Looking forward to your next video!
Thanks! Thank you STL , enjoy and safe travels !
KARLLlllll!!!!! Thank YOU:) STL
One of the things so far I'm really liking about Thailand even though I've never been there, while they may not speak English as a second language in Thailand, the signs are there in multiple languages including English which is fantastic. In Mexico it's all in Spanish and you have to use Google translate. That's a much more welcoming place for someone that doesn't speak the local language.
The thing that like strikes me the most is how courteous and respectful the society is. That's pretty awesome.
Bangkok lol... The traffic. But I'm not a mall guy but that was pretty cool. The Thai know food. I could live there for $5 a day on the food alone. (I don't eat much).
I don't have any interest in learning Thai as a conversational language but I would like to pigeon it. Kind of like I do with my Spanish I know enough to get by. In Mexico they appreciate the effort. I'm sure they are laughing at my pronunciations but still. What about in Thailand? Is it like France where they make fun of you cuz you butcher their language or do they appreciate that you try?
Yeah then you get over to Indonesia my second choice. I really love traveling along with you as I sit in my RV in South Dakota getting ready to soon to go south winter in Arizona.
Thais (& Indonesians) LOVE it when you try to speak, even if just a few words. Btw had a quick look at your RV vid (imma fan of RVs too, more a 19' Pleasureway type mind you;) and wow very nice 100' coach with every amenity! Enjoy AZ RV wintering in style. STL
excellent vlog STL. I kinda like the rainy season in Thailand, Love the big thunder storms!
Same-same LOVE big storms! Just doesn't look great filming grey skies and rainy days... Thankfully Indonesia has many beautiful & unique places to see and mostly in the sun this time of year.
Traveling isn’t the problem for me, but I worked at Delta Air Lines fo35 years so not fond of airports😆…..always nice to get away for rainy season and Indonesia sounds wonderful….we love Bali but time to try somewhere new…….great video STL!
Lol yep could understand that! May have a perfect little known Indonesian Island (or two;) you may want to visit upcoming. Meanwhile, any looking in, check out Howey's latest vid on Wat Pracha Rat Bamrung, just beautiful! STL
Fun video, thanks for taking us along, looking forward to your next one
Great video. Thanks for posting. Looking forward to the next one.
brilliant as ever, none of us "endure" your vlogs...they are just perfect...looking forward to seeing what you get up to in Jakarta...cracking find for the price on that hotel ..nice work
Cheers! More to come
What a life. The good life. Side Trip Life! Thank you, can't wait for the island!
Great blog like always.
Great video by the most sincere vlogger, thank you STL, heading to Bangkok, Danang, Chiang Mai and Krabi in Dec.
Watched it all as always! Nice video. Have fun! 😊
36 mins... awesome! Another great video, always so well paced. Love your research to work out which row and which side has best window for plane vlogging... impressive!!
I can't say I'd ever plug a device into a public charging port but I would plug in a power bank (unless I have a data-less cable and device is off but still rather the power bank).
Enjoy it !
Cheers for that video.🍺🍺🍺🍺👏👍
Amazing video as always! Love seeing you travelling to new countries. THE CIVIC WILL BE MISSED
Thanks! Car is still running great, stored and waiting my return (to finish my coastal exploring series :) STL
Yes! Back to Indonesia. I loved your previous vids from there! Looking forward to some new video adventures for STL…
I like the longer vds. Always smile when i see a new one. Thanks.
I always watch to the end of your videos. Great content and I'm never bored. Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for coming along! STL
Excellent, as always.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video! I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to seeing some new sites. Of course I watched to the very end.
I love seeing new places so I always watch to the end.... Don`t want to miss anything.... I have spent most of my life traveling, so I do enjoy watching your travels to places I didn`t get chance to see...... Top Job STL..... :-)))
Thanks as always SB!
Loving your channel. I just turn on your videos and leave it...I might have watched ur videos... second round n third round started....❤👍👍👍
Great episode. Can’t believe how much you fit into a single day. Look forward to seeing more of Indo. Cheers mate
Thanks! Wait till you see next vid... Cheers!
I watched to the end! Can’t wait to see where you’re going and what adventures you’ll be doing. 🏝️🛖🛶🏔️🍺
Awesome video as always! keep the good work!
Agree, Terminal 21 food court is the best.
Great info as usual..thanks!
Great edit, great content, keep up the good work, looking forward to a new adventure 👌
Excellent - will be tuned into every one of this series !
Good video Your hotel looks like it is a bargan and the soup look good, look forward to seeing you explore around, first impressions are very good 😎👍
:)
Looks fantastic STL. Cheers 👍👍🦘
Sad to be leaving Thailand, but looking forward to exploring Indonesia!
Another great video. Your content is so interesting while being very informative. Nice touch with Flight Radar tip Thanks. I've tried to leave you "a cup of coffee" but alas, I'm pretty tech impaired.
Thanks! Just watching is enough of a reward for me and appreciated too :) STL
Your travelling videos are really enjoyable. Thanks
Thank you!
Great one mate. Looking forward to island videos. Cheers!
Tack! Idyllic islands ahoy upcoming!
I loved your video, quite different than the other ones! Hope you have a great stay in Indonesia.
Funny, when you are in DMK, TH-cam gives me an Air France add, and when your are in this mall in Jakarta with those luxury toys, TH-cam gives me an e-SUV video. Perfect timing and relevance!
Thanks! 😃
Very informative video as per usual.
Always a great day when you post a new vid - Krap Kun Krap! Peace and Blessings.
My favorite Thai movie, and the reason I became interested in Thailand, is "Last Life in the Universe". A close second place would be "Ong Bak" lol.
I naturally lean to quirky favs but Ong Bak is a great film, haven't seen 'Last Life in the Universe' so thx for the tip! STL
Always watching to the end!
Enjoy the latest adventure 👍😎 .. we recently watched both those films on Netflix 😊
Thanks Simos & Co! A couple others mentioned more good flics in the comments, can't find em but maybe worth a scan. STL
Another great video full of amazing sights and sounds 😊😊
Love travel day videos and i always watch to the end 😊
You're the best!
Thanks man
Fantastic work love your videos so just wanted to know who you are insured with when travelling
Glad the travel there went smoothly !👍 Will be staying tuned as always ! Good luck ! 👍🤞😄
That was great!! Lebanese food...Mmmm!! I love travel videos!! Were you required to have an onward ticket? Thank you!
Of course to the end 👍👍.
Really like your channel..very informative.
That was very interesting. Will now include Indonesia on my travel itinerary. Never looked seriously at it previously. But that looks relatively posh on a budget.
Love your work!
Another great vlog stl.
Great vlog, as always 👍🏼
Japan’s long distance buses have seat belts as well. I’m looking forward to visiting Jakarta in the coming months.
This was an incredible easy journey from HH to JK. Great tips for travelers thanks. Enjoy ur break. Bushyboy Oz
Where did you stash your bags when you went to Terminal 21?
Love your work!
Thx! Just rolled along with two fingers and filmed with phone in the other hand lol
Fantastic video
Thanks! 😃
Looking forward to the new adventures.
What an awesome video! My husband & I have never been to Indonesia before but would love to head there sometime in the future:) Your hotel price is great and not bad at all for the price…thanks for sharing this video 😊
Thx to you both! Indonesia has so many unique and beautiful sights, friendly people, amazing food, love it! Check out my Indo playlist if you get time. Cheers! STL th-cam.com/video/A2edCEJIuGc/w-d-xo.html
Hi! thanks so much for the recommendation of Dr Root (DDS Clinic) I saw Dr Root for 3 crowns (perfect!) and Also Dr Pai for Cleaning, fillings, etc. Both were Excellent! Great tunes, too! Highly recommend. :)
Nice! Dr Root and the whole team are wonderful (and tops at what they do:) STL
I did watch to the end and I would have watched longer to find out where to next.
Nice report👍🏻
So exciting….love your video’s. Have you ever thought of being a bit of a tour guide since your such a savvy traveler? Like maybe part-time, spare-time? I would pay you in Btc just to get familiarized in areas. I’ve never been abroad alone so for me it’s intimidating going from place to place. I’ve already had lunch yet you had my mouth watering from the Lebanese food to the various Asian cuisines. Can’t wait to live out this lifestyle#IslandHoping
Sorry, between this YT gig (and my other main project) barely have time to edit muchless tour guide (but hopefully some of my vids can help fellow travellers:) STL
@@SideTripLife Good morning. It was a bit wishful thinking on my end….i just really resonate with your personality and thought to myself it would be so much easier with someone with experience and yes I do learn a lot with your video’s. Appreciate your response and totally understand.
Speaking of turbulence - for many years I visited Thai friends during October . Overall I was very fortunate weather wise but have you ever flown into Krabi ? Not sure it’s common but the two instances I did during October not only was it so rough that the pilot had to do a fly around for a second attempt at landing but we also had a really tooth rattling bump . Won’t stop me from going again but memorable . I’m headed to Maui with my sister and her kids after Xmas and in the news is more encounters of some sort of loss of altitude event they are seeing more in the pacific . Evidently not easily forecastable and something pilots fear. A future concern in that Asian neck of the woods?
Oct is the height of monsoon season in Thailand thus also heightened chance of a bumpy ride or landing. Pilot's will try to bob n weave around thunderheads but at some point the aircraft will have to align with the ILS and runway of course. Having said that flying is still the safest mode of transport on the world.
Great video, looks like a spectacular city. And count me as one who likes the videos checking all the various prices here and there, it's what I do too. aka JG in TX
Cheers JG in TX!
Your videos are amazing.
When I saw that video title, I was so happy. I finally get rid of him! But then, I thought, the last time he went there, he came back. And then the courage and the joy of life dropped immediately.
JJ, one of my longest subscribers, we can't seem to get rid of each other lol. Thx for always watching buddy :) STL
You must visit
Borobudur Temple
mount bromo
mount ijen
Tumpak sewu waterfall
White crater
So many beautiful and unique places to see in Indonesia, would take years (thus happily keep coming back;)
It's very sad you didn't go further down to the south. I expected you eventually reach Phuket :-) By the way: what you did with your car?
Hi Dmitry, not to worry, STL & 'Trippy' (my scuffed but beloved jalopy;) will recommence travelling the coast in search of a new home on my return.
@@SideTripLife Ahh, I got it now. From the beginning of this video I thought something (Thai Immigration maybe) enforced you to leave Thailand. And only at the very end of this video I figured out this is your (usual) way to avoid the monsoon season in Thailand.
Looks nice, big cities are not as appealing to me as the small quaint spots but a nice adventure.
Hang in there, upcoming I'll be showing several quaint & chill spots, including islands & beaches off the beaten path
That train to the city is awesome, driving to and from the airport used to be horror!
Looks like fun !
I love the sop buntut!
It was delicious!
Have you moved to huavhin ?? Love your videos,, oh where's the car ?
Have some temp digs near HH and the car's there waiting my return to continue coastal explorations.
A prawn sandwich and beer at Stockholm Arlanda airport costs Bath 1639. Many people have complained, so now they want to lower the prices. But nothing about when.
Micke 🇸🇪
OUCH! Would savour every morsel at that price... (or more likely brown bag it;)
Welcome to indonesia.........
Bro! I love Pala and go at least once a week!!!
Excellent STL❤❤❤
Fun
I watched until the end
Fellow Canadian from BC, so polite, like all Canadians, LOL
Usually I’m back home in the US watching your vids, but in Thailand right now and was just at T21 Asok yesterday, so a little surreal watching whilst in Thailand.
You’re blessed to be living here, I’m dreading having to leave.
