    Notice to my viewers: At the end of the video, in the Nightlife section, I had to mute the sound from inside the Green Mango Nightclub due to copyright claims. The song "Worth It" by Fifth Harmony was playing in the background in the Nightclub when I was filming and the generous owners of the very short audio clip tried to steal my ad-money. Thanks a lot to them! ;)

    Thanks for the video, mate! It brings back so many memories. I've been to Samui twice and I can't get enough of it. Riding around on a scooter all day, relaxing on the beach (I personally prefer the south part of Lamai near grandmother/grandfather rocks and the beach to the east of the airport), walking through the flee markets, visiting the majestic temples (the lake temple i simply amazing), going on short trips on neighbouring islands... There's just SO much to do and see... Can't wait to go back...

    Nice video but since you have some issues with english should better use subs instead (just my opinion as figure it out hearing your commentary). As about "elephant ride"... I think it's not "fair" for these incredible animals that treat! (anyway better this than a circus ;/)I can call someone at least... "silly" to choose such activity in an island who offer so many other beautiful things. Koh Samui is one of my favorite places and "a nominee" to live permanent when i retire. (+ like)

    • @erikssc
      @erikssc  Před 5 lety
