Not ganna lie but i'm a bit jealous of Matthew's ability to sleep deeply pretty much anywhere in any situation on command. I travelled Thailand pre cov times and it was very busy with backpackers. Koh chang and some smaller towns and rural places didn't have many backpackers or tourists so it just depends on the places you go and koh lanta might just be one of them quieter resorts. I went to Koh phangan during full moon party and it was just rammed and draining for me and wasn't my scene so afterwards i went to koh samui to find some calmness to re-energise.
This is hands down my favorite series on your channel! Seeing Thailand from your experiences is just incredible. I’m so happy you’re documenting these experiences 💛
why do i see you everywhere?
You have so much potential with mauythai! As I used to practice it myself, your form was good!! Love to see you have fun and try lots of things here in Thailand.
ah thank you!! 🙏🏻
hey holly u may not read this but for someone who is chronically ill ur video's just really give e such joy to watch especially with ur running and travelling it honestly makes me fell like i am a part of something and i really appreciate the time and effort you take with every vid :)
ahh this comment has made my day! i'm so incredibly glad i can bring you guys along with me 💚✨
At some times of the year, in certain areas of Thailand, there are plankton that float around and can sting and make you itchy… I think those planktons can also glow at night in some places which I was lucky enough to see on an island called Koh Prah Thong between January to March-ish.
You went to Emerald Cave in Ko Muk and then Ko Kradan .
Islands off Trang
New sunglasses really suits you! And all the food looks delicious!❤❤ and HOW can you work and update videos during your travels ?!!! Holly, you are sooooo amazing!!
Thailand is the paradise and the second home for all visitor !!! have a good trip…
Wow Holly, I did muay thai for some years and I can say for a first timer your form is super good! Very impressive, but not surprising with your dance skills💃🏻
thank youuuuuuu!!! haha
The meals in Thailand look delicious and swimming in this beach with those lifejackets looked like a lot of fun.
the food has been incredible and haha the cave was hilarious 😅😂
the thai boxing class looked so good! holly absolutely killed it!
haha thanks nicole 😉
The purple drink looks EPIC!!
So happy that having your brother in this adventure makes you bold and brave. Brother&Sister power!!
purple sweet potatoes here are just 👌🏻😍
Heading to Thailand the start of June and really enjoying this vlog weekly! Can I ask if you have any tips to keeping your valuables safe while swimming? It's always sometime I'm nervous about when travelling solo
this is such a dilemma for me too! my advice is to take as little valuable stuff as possible and to be honest, i just put it in a corner and keep an eye on it 😅 it's not the best solution but i've been ok so far *touch wood*!
oh and you can also get towels not with little hidden pockets in the corner, so that may be worth looking into!
@@HollyGabrielle Thanks so much for the advice.!
Hey Holly I’m from Australia and I think those things that were stinging you might have been sea lice as we sometimes get them here at the beach where I live, they are totally harmless though. ❤️🌊🏝
ohhh interesting! i'll do a bit of research, thank you 👌🏻
Do you think you'll take up boxing when you get back home? It looked like you really got into the muay Thai!
A Muay Thai natural. Very impressive!
I'm really enjoying your Thailand vlogs. :)
Hey queen 👸 so excited for this
Casually, I recently read an article about how ocean plastic pollution (amd sea pollution in general) is getting worse day by day in Thailand, being one of the top plastic dumper countries in the world (and one of the top single use plastic consumers as well), and how this is affecting the whole world's marine ecosystem... Have you noticed any of that in your trip?? (apart from the green water 😅) And any thoughts on the matter?
Love your travel vlogs btw! 😄
i will be talking about this in my chatty videos and q&a at the end of this series, but i have noticed the use of quite a lot of plastic here!
Holly is fast becoming a pro in Mui Thai , we liked your training exercise very much .
Girl, you have ✨POTENTIALS✨ in muay thai... is there a chance we see a kick-ass holly in the future?
That breakfast looks yummy 😋 Holly. Another great vlog of beautiful & gorgeous Holly's travel adventures with Matthew. Keep safe & well. I am not into martial arts either but it's good to have some skills to defend yourself as a last resort but I wouldn't go around looking for a fight because that encourages violence and it's against my ethical & moral values. Love 🥰 the vlog and love 💞❤️ Holly & Matthew.
Ko Tao must be incredible! looking forward to the next video.
Si sorry but every Time you said Koh Lanta I Can only think about our French TV Show called Koh Lanta just like this place 😂😂. However I'm so in love with this série 😍😍
it's very enjoyable to watch your vlog and visual pleasure !
That island looks gorgeous 😍
they're so beautiful!
I got caught in a monsoon in Thailand and my passport was in my bag (I was on an internship for uni and was told I had to always have it on me). It got semi ruined. It was the first time being abroad without my parents therefore the first time I was responsible for my passport (I was 21 at this time and last time I went abroad I was 15). So explaining that to my parents was an event, though they found it funny 😄. I couldn’t exactly control the weather, and rather not get in trouble by not showing my visa.
loving these videos and also they are super inspiring!
When I went to Vietnam, I saw sooo many stray dogs as well & it’s so hard because you just want to bring them all home😂😭
That gymshark top at around 4 mins looked so nice on you! Which one was it? What sizes do you recommend for gymshark?
Muay Thai is such a great thing to try out, tricky but really enjoyable 👍
it was getting quite complex at the end haha 😅
Really enjoying your vlogs 😊
wow you know your stuff well 😉😉😉 thank you btw 👌🏻
Really full of fun, Holly.
Your food make me want more veggie in my meal 🤤🤤.
Spin elbow is the best one that you can adaptation from ballet skills.
Hello, I'm Thai. I like your clip So I would like to introduce places to visit Actually, there are many places in Thailand that are interesting Little acquaintances, I would like to recommend you to go to Chanthaburi, there is a retro atmosphere of Thailand 20 years ago Interesting local food Fresh seafood and most importantly, the sea is beautiful,Hope you have a good time traveling in Thailand.
all food looks amazing!!
Super enjoyed watching your coolest adventure in Thailand, Holly! 😍❤❤❤
Theres sea lice that can make you itchy (are actually jellyfish larvae stings that form a rash after you swim in the ocean)
Have them in australia as well
think the stinging might be sea mites they're really small and hard to see and I think they're quite common in Thailand
I think you'd be really good at Muay Thai if you stuck with it! Even if just for the physical benefit and no actual fighting! Also, really enjoying this series 😁🙌🏻
i'd love to do a bit more of stuff that is similar to this . . . not for the fighting haha and as you said, but it is super fun and a good way to build strength and power 😉
@@HollyGabrielle it definitely is! A total body workout! 🙌🏻💪🏻
Omg you went to my hometown! 😲
ahhh you live in a stunning place!!!
Wow you’re in SEA ! Come to Malaysia 😺thailand neighbor …
Probably sand fleas . Use coconut oil on your legs . 711 sells stuff for it
Bloody hell you clearly have some natural talent for martial arts! 👏
You were so good in muay thai, the instructor was amazed by you lol, you could deff kick his a** 🤣🤣
hahahahah thanks berta 😉
You are very good boxer. That's a very good kick!
I do martial arts and can confirm, your kicks were *chefs kiss* ...go Holly!
ooooo yay!!! haha thank you 😉😉😉
The stinging stuff is called "sea lice". It's basically jellyfish larvae. It's quite common in the Andaman sea, surrounding Malaysia and Thailand, and not at all toxic, though very irritating.
ohh thank you for this info 😉
@@HollyGabrielle you're welcome! My wife and I lived in Malaysia and she loved to go snorkeling, but the sea lice was always a bummer.
Take care Holly !! Well done with boxing 🥊🥊😋
thank you so much!!
❤️❤️❤️
WOW!!😍💙💙💙💙💙💙👍. Holly, your kicking skills are super incredible! And I love it! I give it a 10 out of 10 on your training exercise!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍. Have fun!😊😙💙💙💙💙💙🌈🌷💜💜💜💜💜💜😊😎☀⭐🎉⭐🎉⭐🌻👍
Water,islands ,food ummm definitely cool.i love your thailand vlog .next time ummm what about egypt
Wow Holly what can't you do gurk? That was GREAT! I think he was impressed!🤗😊👍👏
Gurl not Gurk
I love your travel vlogs! Seems your having loads of fun in Thailand. But I did prefer Holly goes Solo. Sorry to say that but your brother just seems super boring and mostly sleeping. Plus you met so much more people when you were on your own. Looking forward to the next Holly goes Solo series.
Bellissimo viaggio! 😊🔝
The dogs🤣 cool vlog😊
Just be careful buying cheap sunglasses in Thailand, they may not have any UV protection so could be damaging to your eyes as your pupils won’t dilate and so will let in more light😅
I always forget which direction east and west are too!
haha i'm glad it's not just me 😅
I think having done dance, your body is ‘trained’ to learn Mai Thai. I mean those kicks were amazing! Would not like to try attack you!
Good video
how do you think your experience so far would differ if you were alone and not with Matthew?
i'll talk about it this in the chatty videos at the end of this series!
Young lady ride the motorbike,amazing.
Your plates are always so clean after eating. Do you lick them off camera?
haha ermmmm sometimes yes, but otherwise i just pride myself in always leaving my plate clean 😉😅
The thing to be careful not to touch or touch in the sea of Thailand is jellyfish because they will burn the skin.
broth,yeaah, so gorgeous ! talk you later!💫
I'm subscribe your youtube's Vlog,from Bangkok,Thailand
oooo yay!!! welcome to the fam 😉
In Thailand, every food menu Make vegan food, you just tell him.
um ,thump is up cause due to the scooter drive/ride👍
a Ford Ka with a crying Dr.Biologie is "one of the most unlike for a husband in future..."
เตะหนักมาก😣😣
Yay for scooters babaaaay! Koh Lanta is SUCH a great place to scoot around… 🛵💨
You did amazing at Muay Tai.. you can tell your instructor was impressed. X
