    This is the type of content I enjoy, although I stay at properties that are 4/5 star the influencers who get free stays and rave about every single property being amazing is so fake to me. As a paying customer I want objective reviews, not a paid advertisment.

    I can relate to those chilies drying in the sun. My Thai wife pulled a screen off a house window to sun dry bamboo she harvested here in North Carolina. She's an old-school Thai country girl and I love that she doesn't give up old traditions.

  • @mczcz9116
    @mczcz9116 Před 3 lety

    I agree with your analysis at the end....500 baht, wifi and AC....it means a bit of comfort, can connect to the world and send pixes to friends to tell them 'come here' and clean means no 'broken, sweaty' messes to avoid or deal with. The cliff shots and drone were absolutely breathtaking and beautiful (glad you stayed safe to share with us).

    Whoa, I stayed at Mai Pen Rai on my first trip to SEA in January 2003 ! ! !
    This is giving me mad flashbacks: I had a hut on top of the rocks for 6 or 7 $ / night and there were two small restaurants. The one by the beach you went to and another one on the rocks.

Thanks again for another epic vlog and look forward to seeing more of your adventures:) 😉

    Hi Paddy, I just laughed so much watching this! My friend booked us into Mai Pen Rai bungalows 10 years ago and we had a bungalow on the rocks too. Believe it or not it looks like it’s improved slightly, we were greeted with lots of dead cockroaches and there’s was no electric at all until it went dark, I lasted 30 mins 😄 By the way love your channel, you’re my favourite 🤩

    Is that a kinda new road Patty. Last time I was on Koh Phangan there was no road access to the east side of the island. The only way you could get there was by boat. Come on Patty, it a three dollar a night room. That is amazing. That hike to the view point was for sure next level adventure.

  • @CharlotteKokosnootleestvoor

    Enjoy your content as always. That beach where you're at, Than Sadet, has a secret beach where you have to cross the old wooden bridge at the far right end if you're facing beach. Once you've crossed, you have to make you way through some very dilapidated huts, walk up and over a hill to get to this beautiful desserted beach. If you have a chance tomorrow check it out.
