Greetings Chris, I am enjoying “ binge watches” all your content, I can’t stop watching, so awesome. I am very glad I ran across your Channel. Thanks for sharing and continue having the time of you and your wife’s life.
Chris - your stuff just keeps gettin better and better. Such a joy to wake up on a Sat morning and see this! keep these amazing thailand vids coming brother!
How about Tuesday mornings ?
January 2023 I spent the entire month in Thailand..... Most of the time on Koh Samui. Was absolutely amazing! Your channel here and a few others I follow religiously since I have every intention of retiring to Thailand. Thank you for everything you post!!!
Just came back from Thailand. I can go back again in a heart beat!
Koh Samui has the most wonderful outdoor airport!
Going to Phuket in September. Now going to Ko Samui for new year after watching this !
You’re hitting my savings hard ……….😂 😎 Watching your channel is making my wife and I seriously consider retiring to Thailand. September will be trip number four.
Mr. Eung is hilarious🤣 Great video mate i hope you enjoyed the weekend away 🙂
What a life eh? I’ve been watching your content for a year now and I can’t wait to get there on my first trip. My plan is to start and end in Thailand and visit multiple countries in Southeast Asia.
This will certainly be one of my destinations while there. It’s amazing!
I love seeing Mr Eung's Seafood that packed! He's such a great guy, he deserves it!
Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables my dear friend in the store, lovely interview with the young man telling you about the activities in the ocean ❤
Pure delight to enjoy every minute of this beautifully and heartfelt video! New follower and love you! Thanks for being fabulously authentic and full of real joy!
Seriously adore your lovely partner too!!
Thank you so much!
Great stuff Chris 😊
I live in Chiang Mai, which in itself is an excellent option for a getaway (not during smokey season). I just got back from Chiang Rai for a three-day trip. We stayed at a great resort called "The Legend". It is located on the river, great rooms, pool, lawned gardens, water features, and an excellent breakfast. Since I have my own car, we drove the three hours to and from. We went to see the Blue and the White Temple, Black House, Singha Park, the night bazaar, walking street market, and the royal family carriage house. We had great Mexican food at Samarosa (spelling???). I wanted to revisit the Hungry Wolf restaurant, but they close for the month of April every year, so that was a missed opportunity. We did go to Fish and Chips and had an OK meal. The portions were huge though. The next weekend getaway will be to Pai I think. We love the mountains versus the beaches.
Cost is expensive and I'm happy for you...took you years to make it..enjoy
Love your videos, Chris! Thank you for everything you do!
Oooh !! What a beautiful resort you were at!!
Aloha from Hawaii Chris! It’s refreshing to watch you guys enjoy yourself not scrimping and penny pinching. Can’t wait for my wife and I to retire and move to Thailand ourselves and we won’t need to be scrimping and penny pinching the rest of our retirement lives.
Mahalo for all you do!!! 🤙🏻❤️🤙🏻
Koh Samui - paradise place truly
Glad you both enjoyed the break, thanks for the vid 🙏🏻
Really impressed with the progress you have made with your Thai language. Keep it up 👍🏽
I love Haily so much, she is a very heart person. She brings smile as she is so genuine. I love your channel Chris. I am a french Canadian from Montreal, went to Bangkok and Hua Hin last november for the first time. Mainly because of your channel and all your recommendation. Can't wait to come back again in the land of smile. Cheers.
Chris, Your Videos with You and Hailey are Awesome !!
2 Characters = Great ❤!!
Thailands gain is Toronto Canada's loss.
Only can say wish I was there ......
Thank you Chris Parker for another awesome video from the Master.
You both look lovely. Great videos as always!
As always you make a very good vlog ..happy to watch it..😊
Really enjoyed this one
Delightful & educational video, Thank you for posting! 👍 from Texas
Great to see you two again, enjoy immensely watching as you have so much information and enjoyment for viewers.
Great show Chris! Enjoy your day guy's. 😊.
Thanks, great vlog and great choice of music
Too expensive for my blood but I still enjoy watching your videos.
Thailand isn't a cheap holiday anymore..
@@mcb00m It is if you know what to do & where to go. Obviously going to the most popular tourist destinations is not gonna be cheap.......
Loved Koh Samui! Miss it so much.
Met my wife in Samui, 17 years ago love that island, planing to retire there ❤️☝️
Can you tell me how much the hotel charges? Or est. anyway? Will you buy or rent?
Great video. Loved the review 😂 We loved Hansa Samui and Centara Reserve
Great to be brought back to some places that hold a special spot in my heart. Love Koh Samui. Miss ya.
Nice vid! I lived in Bang Rak 20 yrs ago. Going back in june
Most expensive free sandwich in Thailand.
Koh Samui Airport is privately owned by Bangkok Airways No competition = higher airfares
Good morning from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
Great vid Chris and so glad to have your wife included in this one! She is def a keeper mate - great personality!
Cannot wait to get there for 3 months to explore !
Hopefully Oscar is just getting his log book hours and experience up as technically he cannot become a certified and recognised dive master till he is 18.
I need to visit Koh Samui again this July..... this is where I went for my honeymoon back in 2011
Was the first time visiting koh samui in 1985, the island has changed so much
iCare Thailand sent me! Love what you’ve done with them!
I love that coffee review parody! I've only seen a few of his videos but even I knew the reference.
Love Samui. I miss that place but great to see it in this vid.
Awesome as always 🎉
9:55 great place for a smoothie too. 50 baht ❤❤❤❤ love Samui
Threw in the coffee review! Love it!!! 😂😂😂
Glad you will be back in Koh Samui again, even if for just 48 hours. Look forward to get back to the island in mid-May!
Another great video Chris. So cool to get to see Ha-lee (Im sure I misspelled her name) also. She is so sweet.
😂😂 Absolutely loooooved the Pizza Guy review mimic. So hilarious
Nice place to stay at and interesting places for visiting and to have a satisfying meal but yes, a bit expensive for a 2-day vacation. In addition, I thought the beach was going to have a better view compared to the price of the hotel. Thanks for the video. 👍
Great video Chris 👍🏼
So very beautiful place my dear friend ❤
Awe I love Haley .. ❤️ she is smart and adorable her excitement on the hotel room!!😊
The Thai young lady wasn't laughing at your Thai language skills. She was just happy to hear a farang speak Thai no matter how good. You'll gain even more respect as your skills progress.
Yes!
i enjoy your video’s but honestly BA is probably the best airline to take in thailand imo!! enjoy the video’s keep em coming
Your Thai is getting better Chris. Congrats!
Perfect timing Chris. I will be in Thailand from June 17 to July 15 and for sure I want to spend a few days on my favorite Island.
Perfect!
Your residence in Bangkok looks really interesting with the decorations by the way ....
Loved this video, and would love to see more weekend getaways here in Thailand. And can we have more of Haley in the videos? 🤩🤩
Hi Kirsten, how are you? Have not seen your videos for a while!
Hahahaha a Portnoy reference is the last thing I expected but you nailed it, as always! Thanks RW4U!!
Great insight into Samui. One place I've not travelled to within Thailand. Maybe one day. Lived in Thailand for 12 years, came back to UK during the civil unrest as had a young child. Really miss the place.....will be coming for a holiday next year with the kids.....and defo will be retiring there 🤞. Glad to see not so much has changed regarding the laid back vibe.
Keep up the good work, love your vlogs 🤜🤛
Great video! Loved the Portnoy style One-Sip coffee review lol
I'm taking the Thai language challenge! Thanks for the info on the resort.
I love your getaway from polluted air in Bankgkok, it`s a refreshing awesome video Chris P. & Haely , great important informations ! I think 1000 THB per day for a car is def. a good price, and the room looks insane beautiful, woow ! 😍👍You both are great, i like your explorings together ! Thanks and happy holiday 🥂🙏
Have a good trip😀☘
คิดถึงช่องนี้❤
That airport is fabulous
Just landed back in oz today from my Thailand holiday. I had planned to go to Kho Samui but decided to go from my planned Phuket to Surat Thani instead of Kho Sami. I am totally happy with my choice I think either choice would have been good imo. Thx for the video I will probably fit Kho Samui in next visit.
คุณเฮลี่น่ารักมากๆ ❤❤❤❤
ชอบการตัดต่อภาพ..
Really liked the concept of presenting what a quick weekend getaway from Bangkok would be like (pretty much just about what we would do ourselves), can you also please do Phuket and other beach areas driveable from Bangkok?
Hi Chris - great video ! I recommend Koh Tao ( as you probably know!) but need more than 2 days - Love Samui too!
The pizza guy imitation! I love it.🤣
Thumbs up 👍 Chris
THIS VIDEO IS GONNA KRUSHHHHHH !!! so great to do a play by play it fits the bill of the attention deficit editing style ! keep em locked into the content ... dope dope dope ... as always sawadeee !!!
Welcome to Thailand 🇹🇭💕🤙🏻💕
Chris, we met (very briefly) on Sukhumvit Soi 11 in December. Anyway, I digress. Even I laughed at your Thai 😂 but you’re making an effort which is always appreciated by Thai people. Resort looks nice. I retire to Thailand later this year and would certainly consider Samui to stay for maybe 6-months. Just concerned it will be a little spenny for me now I’m retired.
The breakfast at the Melia is great (been there and enjoyed it very much) but can’t beat the Eastin Grand Hotel Phayathai in Bangkok. If you give the Melia a 9.5 the Eastin breaks the scale as it is at least a 15. Check it out and thank me later 😊
วิวสวยงาม
Hey Chris! I heard you were working on building a house on Samui from one of your other videos. Are you planning on sharing that experience soon?
Thank you for all of the inspiring videos on moving to Thailand. I spent 30 days touring most of the major areas on Nov/Dec 2023. We got 20 year visas and are returning to Samui (from Seattle) in August to an awesome leased pool villa for a year. Thanks again for helping make it a reality! @RetiredWorkingForYou
Nice and greets from Antalya
Fantastic video. One can splurge on a hotel room for a day or 2, 3 being right at the beach, and get a cheaper room couple of 100mt away for the rest of the stay.
Awesome review on Hachiya (were you tipsy there?)
Chris, great video. Have you changed cameras? Or are you still shooting on your iPhone? The video seems a bit more cinematic compared to the last time I saw one of your videos.
Great video Chris as always but there is no way I can do Thailand on your budget to expensive for me but glad your enjoying life all the best
😊no need to spend that much on a hotel,so many places to say and good places half the price.Great that you have showed it tho.
Hey Chris, could you please let me know when you guys come back to Bangkok. I would love to get a drink or a dinner with you guys along with my wife. Greetings from Serbian guy. Cheers!
Like the breakdown at the end. Slightly cheaper hotel and not paying for dinner for 5 and you get the cost down below 30,000 baht or $800 USD .... oh and ditch the pringles... ;-)
gotta keep the pringles!!
I am going to Samui from Canada leaving on January 1. I fly SCOOT into Samui from SIN. Thanks for listing some great places to check out. The 4 seasons are charging $2700cdn for a night in Samui. I have 33 nights of decent hotels around Thailand for less than that.
Awesome thanks Chris, we used to love staying at Poppies when it was still open. Cost was $400 NZ a night which is close to what you paid. Did you miss a day car hire in your tally?
Wish you happiness 😊💕🎉
Absolutely love the barstool sports Dave Portnoy style coffee review❤❤😂😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it
Good video 👍
Nice hotel it's across the street from your friends with the Korean restaurant, right? Mr. Eung is a funny guy and yes the place is now usually busy and yes it in my estimation has a lot to do with your vlogs. The Issan restaurant is near where we live ... nope it doesn't get over the top busy ... you're an influencer ; ) We will try Hachoo (Hachiya) ; ) Flat White is an OZZy thing. It generally has a higher proportion of espresso to milk than a caffè latte. Was it cooler in Samui?
-Seems so easy! So jealous!
What would be a cheaper alternative instead of Koh Samui? Thanks as always, GO LEAFS BABBBYYYY !!
Bangkok Airways own Samui airport so you either get rinsed by them or go the long way round, not practical for a couple of nights away.
I missed your videos Chris.......
I just Subbed! Do you give Consults? I watched One Video breezed through Two. Its Late but your Channel has my attention! Thanks 👍
Just curious about a couple things. How is it possible to get a Samui resident card if you live in Bangkok? I realize you had it from before and your renewed it but same question. I would love to get half off Bangkok Airways too. lol. Second question, for the 1000 thb per day for the car rental, does that include collision insurance? If not can you purchase it for a fee? I look forward to your answers.
And Pringles after that dinner ?!? Wow, you the champ 😅
Around £60 GBP one way to Samui seems pretty good value. I hope the hotel was free for you Chris.
I want to be there now with an unlimited bank balance away from our noisy neighbours in the UK & their super loud boom box and parties.
Normally for 2 return it's well over 200 GBP
Wow sooo Nice ❤❤
Thanks 🤗
