  • Hi welcome to Is This Thailand's Best Island? Koh Phayam Was Amazing. Today i kick off with food in a local restaurant before heading off to Hin Talu beach. It is an amazing beautiful beach and so worth the short trip to Koh Phayam just for that alone. I couldn't believe how quiet it was also.
    A little walkabout afterwards followed by the beach again for sunset. i finish off the next day back to Ranong on the boat.

    It's worth the wait to see this beautiful place, but I feel your frustration in getting content out. You know you're remote when there are no 7-11's 🤣
    I wonder why the fly's are there, but not much elsewhere 🤔
    What a gorgeous little beach spot, and SO quiet, and it's high season to boot!! Yes agree, this is the place to be in Thailand. Even if you lived in Thailand, you would come here for a long weekend or a break from the world.

      Hi Greg, it was a beautiful island but yes the age old problem of WiFi. That’s the price you pay I suppose, at least with a 7/11 I can plug into there. It wasn’t to be.
      I’ve no idea about the flies but that was highly noticeable. If is a great place to come definitely if you live here mate💯

    How quiet is it at night Richy? Much as I love places like this, sometimes I find them a bit too sleepy if travelling solo. I first discovered Thailand in 1990 and this island certainly takes me back to Thai Island life then. Cheers Bud!

    Chicken, Beef , Pork and Lamb all contain the emzymes that can cause gout, so all should be eaten in moderation. The island looks the PERFECT place to relax and take a break from life, I think a trip to the Island should be on the NHS 🤣 Looking forward to more uploads

    Hi Richy, stunning looking island, just a thought, if the mosquito bites you get get one of those nasal inhalers from 7-11 they are called Poy-Sian then unscrew the bottom of it and there is a little bottle of liquid, just dab that on the bite and it will stop the itching, cheers and enjoy, thanks.

    • @cabovermike
      @cabovermike Před 5 měsíci +1

      I’ve used one of those, it is very similar to tiger balm but the little liquid part is great for mozzy bites, leaves a green stain but soothes it no end,.

    • @ParkinsonRaw

      Hi Mike, yes he was in a day in day out routine. I would have stayed longer and got a bike but I just haven’t got the capacity to store more footage. The vlog unloaded there took about 10 hours just to upload to CZcams. I can’t be putting my equipment through that unfortunately. I’m not a drinker it hits me just having one never mind two. In three days I had 5 bottles.
