    Hi, I'm Simon and this is my video journey in SE Asia.
    I am a self taught Thai language learner and I'm not an expert in Thai language and make no claims to be a teacher.
    I'm learning the Thai language by myself via books, talking with Thais and making many mistakes along this journey.
    If the information I have supplied in this video is incorrect I do apologise.

    Lilly now has Lilikoi open again, it just opened a few days ago. I can’t wait to come back. I stayed in Bophut just over a year ago, and think I’ll stay in MaeNam when I come back in January next year.

    We just came back from Koh Samui last weekend and we never left the area of your video on Mae Naam Beach during the entire week-long stay on Samui. Coincidentally, we stayed not only at the exact same hotel Baan Fah Resort but also in the exact same room as you after downgrading from direct pool-access room where we stayed for 3 days.
    The construction at the beach-end of Soi 4 is now a watch tower. I had no idea it's that new. I've seen Lilly Hubbard's CZcams videos many times but never knew she had a restaurant there. I did consider dropping by for dinner but didn't seen her. Bummer! We dined many times at the same Mae Naam Village restaurant and also used their laundry service too. Loved the coffee at About Cafe too!

      Mae Nam is fantastic hey! I hope be back there in a few weeks soaking up the atmosphere. Current in Singapore at the moment.
      Sounds like you had a great time and how was the room? I loved that room and the garden out front.

      @@AsiaStreet365 I downgraded to your room after spending 3 nights at direct pool access room, one room behind direct sea view room (because we only reserved for 3 nights and the rate went up when we attempted to extend our stay). We no longer had good sea view (although still visible) but the room was roomier and more practical than the newly renovated room. I didn't particularly liked the wet bath but no big deal. 😉

      Hi Jen, It's a bit hard to show accommodation as the guests and staff in some/most places have issues with a camera on them and the Resort. I want to show places however I'm finding this more difficult everyday to make even a basic video without being told, no camera allowed.

    Nice one my friend, many years since I’ve been to Samui but I believe it’s a far nicer island than Phuket- planning a 4 night stay at the beginning of September,
    was planning on a trip to Phuket as my lady hasn’t been there but your splendid vlog and the fact that Phuket is again getting overrun with Russian sc-m has
    made my decision easier, hope there is not as many of the conscription dodgers there 🙏🇬🇧
