    Both for tourist now the days of the back packer is finished in Thailand. The Russian and Indians have put an end to certain areas in Thailand

    Very nice & informative video, for me an expat that has lived in Thailand for many years and traveled extensively throughout Thailand, I honestly prefer Koh Chang for its less development quieter laid-back vibes. Koh Samui does have gorgeous beaches lined with fantastic bars, restaurants and shops but its definitely over developed and just to touristy for my liking. IMO Koh Chang still retains much of its original character & authentic charm as it has had since becoming a backpacker favorite back in the 70s - 80s.

    In my opinion, the fact that you highly recommend hiring motor scooters without mentioning the real dangers is very irresponsible. Many many tourists die on Thai roads every year because they’re not prepared or don’t have enough experience riding in South East Asia. Thankfully, most people who post a travel blog mention it.

    • @journey_boundYT
      @journey_boundYT  Před měsícem +2

      if people don't understand that motorbikes are dangerous, they shouldn't be riding motorbikes, why would I have to spoon feed adults common sense ?

      @@journey_boundYTthats not the main issue. More importantantly, without IDP and a real motorcycle license there’s zero insurance coverage as so very evident by the many gofundme campaigns for tourists unable to cover medical costs and liabilities after accidents….Thailand requires full motorcycle license for “scooters” (which are usually 100cc and up)
