One of the beautiful place in Thailand
Your videos are like our weekly vitamin pill! We sent a few people your way last week so hopefully their tuning in to you:) April is still our target. Thanks and keep the good times coming!
Thanks kindly Happy Wealthy much appreciated and have a nice trip :)
Hey, great views and lovely looking breakfast. Living your best life. Always great information. Great tour. Cool tunes. Good vibes. Beautiful views.
Another great video. I LOVE Crystal Bay and Lamai so I'm definitely looking forward to the next one 😁
So beautiful. Thanks Cathy and Kevs x
Thanks for always watching :)
Totally agree about the bum gun. They are the bomb.
Once you go BG never go back to just TP ;)
AGREED, how I miss it, lol
It is always made me smiles when you praise bum gun in almost every vid. Made me so proud as if I was the inventer. 🤣😅😂
I bow to the BG, greatest invention of all time :)
Thank you for sharing the pleasant tour. Great trip!
Chaweng was the first beach I went to on Samui back in 1994 and I fell in love after arriving at Lipa Noi by the old car ferry, even that arrival stole my heart. I met my future husband on Chaweng in 1996 when I returned to Samui as couldn’t stay away - he was from London like myself, but South London - we’ve ended up in Australia , but Thailand constantly calls to me and hoping to get back there in August maybe. Also, love a ‘bum gun’ and always buy a new one when we’re in Thailand to use at home - current one is broken and miss it terribly, so obviously need to get back to Thailand to get a replacement asap.
Nice backstory, thanks for sharing :)
Love the music lyric references you drop from time to time. Thanks for the ride.
This place is so peaceful and relaxing! Lovely walk my friend! Thanks for sharing!
thanks for great video its so nice to see the place has people visiting. im looking forward to your next video, please hurry up with the next video
A lot more people than last year! Super happy.
Fisherman's Village and Bangrak livelier but Chaweng picking up now and Lamai even moreso. A ways to go yet but good signs all round (until we're saying 'damn, too many people' once again;)
Wow ! I’ve never seen such strange urinals in my life, I’m not sure if I would even feel comfortable having a wee in one them . The rest of the video was great . Lost beach & bar looked great , I can imagine myself sitting there drinking a few Mojitos . Vietnam officially opens its international borders yesterday not expecting a stampede as our main tourists are China and Russia. Great deals for the rest of us . Thanks for the uploads.
Great news. Good luck/chok dee to Vietnam too
Thank you for another well done video and hotel review , so help for when visiting Samui area ! Thumbs up !! LOL enjoy and please keep them rolling ...
Great vid. We went to PT Hostel in mid Feb for a bike after seeing your previous film and got that bike too. It broke down in the v heavy rain though. Pim was amazing and gave us an upgrade to a much better bike so we ended up renting from her for 2 weeks 😀 Keep up the good work 👍
Nice one Gareth. Pim's an angel (and a real character too;)
Chaweng beach is absolutely beautiful with not too much tourists, great vid. Have fun and enjoy the views
I miss koh samui soomuch
Another great vid. Thanks for showing the east side: *ISLAND TIP* I just realized the the cool afternoon shade on the east side is preferable for some to direct hot sunlight from and on the west side. Muang Samui Spa Resort is exactly what I was looking for. Big fan and many thanks for the area resort tours.
@Found at Sea thanks. Best of both, can still pop over to the West side for sunset as we'll see in next vid.
Ah - so good - editing & detail always 5 star ⭐️- no short cuts 👌
look forward to more soon 🍻😎🙏👍
Thank you again for a lovely vlog, you really cheer me up 😀keep them coming 👍🏻
Thanks Heather, happy to hear this added some cheer. Cheers! STL
Beautiful video my friend excellent shooting great job thank you for sharing Big Big Like 😊🌴🌴🇮🇹👍👍👍👍
9:10 - been there, cozy place and a BIG Buddha !
Your videos got me through the Canadian winter! Still haven't made it to Samui, but feel like I know the place already.
Thanks Jeff. Being from Vancouver winter is pretty mild but one January just a week after rollerblading along the seawall in shorts, I was transferred to Calgary in -30 and getting a block heater installed in my car (quite a shock for a west coaster;) Love both cities but much prefer Samui esp in winter
@@SideTripLife I'm in the Toronto area. Actually it was you and Wim Hof that got me through the winter. Your videos and embracing the cold. Winter is a new experience these past two years as I am usually in Asia ... where I will definitely be the next one.
@SideTripLife ah ha, there it is! I knew that you spoke to me as a fellow Western Canadian but now I'm finding out that you've also been speaking to me as a fellow Calgarian, if only from the perspective of how wonderful it is not to have to be suffering -30. Sigh
cant beat the bumguns . great idea .
Aye, BG far superior to TP. Annoys me they're not in some swish Bangkok Malls to conform to 'western standards'
Your videography is do clear, colorful!! 👍👍👍💖
Thanks, also to my old $400 phone ;)
Just watching your videos- and how you set the scenes up. Really good and entertaining
Looks lovely 😉
Dam those noisy beach clubs! lol. Although for me depends on my vibe on the day but I do love a quieter palm tree infested spot so we can hear ourselves speak.
I go to Chong mon beach with my Canadian friends often (pre covid) and love the place and also watched Chris RW4U there as well. Great videos. when I get back from Canada I look forward to seeing you there!!
used to be sunday jam-sessions at Secret Garden in the 90's and onward, with bbq's. They had the best potato salad. Still sunday night jam-sessions? anyone?
Yep, still. Check FB page for Secret Garden Samui for who's playing etc
Great video as always. I haven't had the urge to go to koh Samui only been once, but now I'm definitely interested in checking it out again.
I was just there in all these places December/January! I want to go back, I’m done with Ontario winters. Swing by Kun It’s place on Bangrak and say hi (tattoo/art gallery just past Kobs)! Also say “hi” to Mark at Secret Garden and get him a G&T for me. I stayed at Samui Pier for a few weeks and it was great! Also I think I spotted a few buddies at Kobs in your video.
Three palm trees on the island of happiness 🌴🌴🌴🏞️👍🙋♀️🌍
Great video and definitely some places I will visit 👣🏝
Great Video. Thanks for sharing 👍😀
Thanks. Love your channel name btw
13:45 - looks amazing !
Great video I love kho samui
Awesome toilet :-D
Greetings from Chaweng.
Thank you for your videos. I am currently bicycle touring down the coast and hope to get to the islands within the week. If you are around, I am happy to buy you a beer.
On the move again but thanks and have a great trip!
Hopefully more opening up be there in 6 weeks can't wait
Fantastic, enjoy!
Thank you for sharing 🙏
Thanks for watching :)
@@SideTripLife always love your vids 🤩 Please keep sharing 🙏🏻🤩🙏🏻🤩
I for one love the Bumgun, butt you have to watch out for strong water pressure.
Great point, careful of some that could strip paint... Btw, anyone wanting the latest news about Cambodia, check out Big Jed & Co's excellent channel: 'For Riel'
You seem very adament to make a case for the bumgun every time you see one :D
That said: what a fantastic beach bungalow on Samui. just.........wow.
I'm actually ready to protest! They're removing my beloved bumguns from many shopping malls, to conform to western 'standards' (no bumgun=gross!)
@@SideTripLife Time for a new YT channel 🤣
@@SideTripLife Please consider the temperature of the water that would be coming out of a bum gun in White Rock BC in February.
warm water a must ;)
Marine beach and op are nice places, but : low tide = nearly no water and muddy, you have to walk a little bit if you like water... if you take into account this -
good place
Thanks johnaeff good point. Oct-Mar has higher tides but Apr-Sept lower tides and yep, once out a couple metres mucky to walk. North Chaweng Beach is on an inland shelf and buffered by Koh Na Thian (+Koh Mat Lang) and the shore, thus not an 'open water' type beach. But like you say, enjoy the sun & beautiful white sand beach sand there, then take a swim just a bit further down, best of both.
21:35 - I want to be there NOW
Did I miss your monkey video? That can't be! I'll go check. Great video today!
Thanks Seashell :) For anyone else who would like to see monkeys plus MUCH more, check out gorgeous Lopburi: czcams.com/video/uD20EgKe3Zg/video.html
Very beautiful 🥰🥰❤️
Great video
Cheers!
¡Gracias!
Muy apreciado!!! STL
Great video, but I was wondering if you were feeling OK, or a change of lifestyle? I noticed you didn't have Tobasco sauce on your eggs. Just kidding. As I said great video and am looking forward to the next one ay. {remember I'm Canadian to}
Thx Leonard (and I forgot to bring my Carolina Reaper sauce travel bottle, next time eh;)
A monkey saw the elephant serving the Buddha and brought a honeycomb to offer. The Buddha received it but did not eat the honey, so the monkey took back the honeycomb and considered it. Seeing bee larvae inside, he took them all out and then took only pure honey to offer
Ahhh haaa.... Thanks Rick :)
2:54 Surely, you caught the reaction to "I might hit that later" 555
Great vid ! We’re on samui right now (staying at Mermaid as per your prev video reviews ;) ) Chaweng Marine looks great! Almost switched over there for a couple nights (now kinda wishing we did lol!) + we also agree with the BumGun. The west SHOULD get them!! Cheers from fellow Vancouverites
Ps if you’re still on island, would love to meet up! Send us a msg :)
I've gotta take motorcycle lessons before going to Samui - seems the easiest way to get around (is there a baht bus option?). I've never ridden one. Are those cycles manual or automatic?
Auto, BUT Thailand is very bad for road accidents and deaths, and Samui is one of the worst places in Thailand, I really, really wouldn't recommend it for a 1st timer! Get the songthaw instead, they run everywhere, day and night. If you want to get a bike, do it on Ko Phangan or Ko Tao instead, it's much safer.
Agree with MrSimonj1970. I drive fairly slowly and always wear a helmet but still get blindsided etc (mostly by foreigners too btw). So not a great place to effectively learn to ride. Also Koh Phangan is more sedate than Samui but a lot more hills and twists. Best to flag a passing shared songthaew (goes around Samui via ring road and costs around 150 baht) or arrange a private ride and share the cost with others. Similar on Koh Phangan, here's me flagging a Songthaew: czcams.com/video/fZaLIvoh6LI/video.html
Hey bud I know you haven't been back to Vancouver in a while but average price of 1.2 mil is for a fixer upper. It's close to 900/k for a decent house in Chilliwack now. Insanity. 1.2 mil in Koh Samui buys you a top shelf luxury home, even in Plai Laem
I used to ski up at then Hemlock Valley and recall the houses and land out that way were dirt cheap (compared to Van) but apparently not now... Btw, recently came across a channel here of a crypto guy living in top shelf luxury on Phuket, channel name Kyle Chasse (no idea bout the guy just subbed)
@@SideTripLife I've been researching Samui and Hua Hin (for golf location properties) for over a yr now. I like Samui and the vibe of Koh Phangan. being a crypto guy myself this year is decision time when I plan on buying. I'd sure like to connect with you in some way. The number of places you've been to in Thailand is comprehensive and I learn a bit each trip as to what each place offers.
Like your vid a lot
Wow is that eggs-benefdict?!!Yummy
Another great video and I did watch your monkey video
Appreciated Glen, thanks. If any others are interested, Lopburi is just amazing, here's the vid: czcams.com/video/uD20EgKe3Zg/video.html
NICE. So does this mean STL/Bangkok112 has finally permanently moved from Bangkok or just travelling down each weekend for some "Sand Between Your Toes" or is it a "Secret Garden" Secret? (-: ("Retired and Not Working for Anyone")
I really like the red-orange pool villa at 8: 25 minute into the video. May I ask which website you used? Thank you.
Can't recall specifically but it was listed on a Samui Facebook group last week. Best search these groups, there are several and will give a broader feel for what's avail.
Can anyone ID the melody at 12:08?
I have it on a chillout/Buddha Bar/Café del Mar playlist somewhere, but can't remember name.
I 'Shazammed' the longer unedited cut but it didn't recognise the track... anyone?
When was this filmed ? Trying to get an idea of how busy samui is now as coming out next week for 3 weeks and deciding which islands to go to although I will probably do phangan as well maybe 5 days on each.
Recent and in a few weeks it'll be busier with Songkran coming on so your timing is perfect arriving just before. 5 + 5 also perfect, enjoy!
Great to see some of the places that I've been to on Samui. Very beautiful island. Not sure about the urinals though 🤔
Wanted to put this track on the urinal scene: czcams.com/video/pF1Sj9PlIHM/video.html
Thanks for this Video, my wife and I really miss samui. We've been going twice per year until bloody covid reared it's ugly head
This might be random but are you the guy from 51 drones channel!?!? your voice is soooo similar!!!
Not aye sir ;) STL
Did you notice if the Ark Bar is open?
Ark Bar is morphing into 'Surfs Up' Bar and reopening soon.
I stoped watching your video after the first bumgun but you had to show me another one...
Lol! (2cnd one at the end;) Cheers JJ
I for one would have appreciated a closer look at the woman in the yellow bikini. 🤔
