  • Welcome to The Thairish Sun!
    Docu-Vlogs 2: This week we try to give you a rough idea of what it's like to drive on the roads of Samui so you know what to expect if you are ever in the area. We also go to 4 different locations on the island to see whether people are, or aren't, wearing their helmets when riding their bikes.

    We usually hire a bike through the hotel, great price and never any hassle. We now bring our own helmets as one given was small. There are usually alot more bikes on the roads. We have seen 1 accident, was caused by a tourist showing off to his girlfriend. Would reccomend hiring a bike as it opens up the island. Best tip, don't drive like an idiot, take your time and be wary of your surroundings. We usually go around the whole island. Love the Last count Dara Kitchen... our first place to eat and as always very friendly owner.
    Great video as always.
    Thanks

    I liked Koh Samui. West side was calm and not many people over there. We have found out nice place PJ's Bar & Restaurant. Comparing to Phangan it was bigger and more driving more civilisation. Have good memories but Phangan was better IMO. Looking forward to come to Thailand again. Which islands you recommend ?

      Ya I know PJs bar mate, been out on the boat there and know the owner! That's aso closed at the mo 😣 just in too quiet an area to get any customers at the mo

      Koh lanta is nice, koh lipe is good too. Both relaxing. Phuket and phi phi for parties. Samui and pha Ngan are the best 2 in my opinion, they have it all.

      Hey, cheers for the comment! Yea Koh Samui is still very relaxed, you don't get away with things in Phuket or other touristy areas half as much.

      @thethairishsun  Před 3 lety

      Tuk-tuks? There used to be songtail type ones that stuck to their route. They weren't cheap like Pattaya but ran fairly regularly. Unfortunately you barely see them at the mo to be honest.
