@@SuiGenerisAbbie My friend Viktor is sitting behind me, the girl next to him is a friend of his from Sweden. The rest of the people in the boat are a mix of some other friends who were part of the group that hiked to the beach, and other people that we didn't know.
1:16 I’m so proud of Gabe and how he and his channel have grown since I found him in 2015 or 2016 (my first video I saw on this channel was when you were robbed in Bogota as I was in the planning phase of my first trip to Colombia. I remember when you weren’t making a ton of money on RUclips and would stay in a hostel and I’m not talking getting a private room in a hostel I’m talking sleeping in a bunk bed in a room with 11 other people or how you would sometimes take off from traveling because you needed to make some money. It feels good as a long time sub to see such a good dude succeed at doing what makes them the most happy🙌🏽
The island where the Full Moon Party rages brighter than a thousand glow sticks and the jungle whispers secrets older than time itself. That sounds so refreshing to hear those birds singing in the background!
Cheers Gabriel! Nice seeing the island again. I lived on Ko Pha Ngan (sunset side of Haad Rin beach) for one year back in 1983-84. Rented an old fisherman's hut for $50./monthly. Didn't see another tourist for 6 months then. Way before any full moon party! Today I'm shocked the whole island has become SO POPULAR with SO MANY tourists!!! Anyway, modern traveling progress in full swing. Thank you for showing Ko Chang (Nanong). That island is still peaceful with less tourists. Maybe I'll visit someday. Thanks again and enjoy your travels. Best wishes, johnny
Spent 2 weeks there in Sept 2017. Gorgeous. I remember paying $2-$8 USD/night for hostels…$8/day motorbike rental. Crazy how prices went that high in a short time
Imho the Full Moon party is over rated!! Half Moon party is more fun!! I did a month long no footwear challenge on this island back in 2001. The best thing about the island is there is always cool people to meet!! Happy Travels
Howdy man, I think you'd love it, tons to do and they even have good gyms for working out. The only problem is expensive accommodation, but there are lots of cheap dorms. I haven't been to Khao Sok but have heard about it, sounds nice. I'm actually at the airport in Bangkok right now waiting for a flight, so my Thailand adventure is over. Have a great time. ✌️😎🍺
72 Euro per night ? . Thats off the scale for what looks like a basic enough room .Maybe that Island is extra expensive ?I hope to be landing in Jomtien next week and have a large room booked with kitchen in a guesthouse for 14 euro a night .I stayed in the same place last year .
What a beautiful place! The private Beach had Wild colors! My favorite part is the map abd I can’t wait to look it up on my google maps and wiki. Take care! 🎉
Seems the days of finding any good deals on Koh Phangan are getting difficult. The place Gabe is staying can be up to 6,000baht a night, even low season the cheapest price is over 2,000baht!
Gabe, you have 10 San Francisco 49er football stadiums full of subscribers now, just to put it in perspective. Think about it, 10 stadiums full, listening to you travel.....
My respect for Victor just went up hearing he didn't get vaccinated. My respect went down even more for a society that made him feel like he couldn't say that until now.
@@AnimalChatter-br1cv There's no reward for false claims. False claimers go directly to the end of the pack. Those are the rules for the lineal game. Thanks Mr Shelter
@@AnimalChatter-br1cv This channel belongs to all of us, Gabe provides the great content, and we support it with our comments. This is not an autocracy.
Vegan who is not into drugs. the best parties where in the 60's anyway. we had the best full moon parties in Topanga Canyon over looking Malibu. fyi, Rigno wrote Octopus's garden while on vacation in Greece. 72usd for a room seems like a rip off.

@@AnimalChatter-br1cv @AnimalShelter, he can look for prior comments before staking a claim. Unfortunately he made a false claim. I'm sure he'll learn from this. Thanks for chiming in Mr Shelter

Viktor has his own RUclips channel that's focused on making music. You can check it out here: ruclips.net/channel/UCWILZESom4DLaQYoYu3O1bg
Is he not the yoga teacher
@@ajaypushkarna4811 Yes, he teaches yoga in Sweden and has been in previous videos of mine: ruclips.net/video/a7KjKyJDZyQ/видео.html

I remember that too. And he would travel with like one T-shirt. The infamous Shiva T-shirt.
I met my wife on this island some 26 years ago. Still married! Seems to have changed considerably!
The wife or the island?

And you sound like you took a whole lot of mushrooms my friend
This looks a lot better than waiting for the next snow to arrive here in Philadelphia🤣
Fly Eagles fly! Bahaha 😂

❤ 💯🙏👍
Island is a total rip off 😂 and is far beyond played out
and no chicks@@M.R.T.V.Videos
Ko Chang(Nanong) 💯❤️
Island life is the best life 🏝😍🌞
I was there in 1990 and it was US$1.00 a night !
What a magical island! I can't wait to visit one day. Thailand is definitely on my list!
This is a perfect video to warm me up!Regards from snowy Czechia.😊
Oh wow, surprised to see another Czech subscriber.)
So many amazing memories of time spent on this island, thanks for taking me back Gabe!
Good video and nice to see Gabe with other people.
WHAT A PRECIOUS TIME YOU SHHARED TY GABE !!!
Cool, you can smile and talk with people! The food is a good thing to see and the prices 👍
Welcome to Koh Phangan my home Gaberiel. I have been a long time admirer of your work and travels. I hope you have a great time here.
Looks like you’re having lots of fun, great to see. Looks beautiful. Great video thanks😊
Friendly lady next to Gabe in the boat😊

Well done! May it grow your channel.

Oh man, I miss Koh Phangan. You’re making me jelly, Gabriel.
The coral reek in 2017 was amazing too bad it was not clear this time...............Great video
Very beatiful fishes so colored in the end off this film. ❤😊
Never been to Ko phangan, looks nice. Check out Khao Sok national park if you have not been there. Really incredible.

Great video! As always!
Way to go Gabriel!
I like the little bungalows, and looks like a great place to stay at
an island with lots of fitness and exercise...sounds good to me
Looks a lot more laid back than Ko Samui. From what little we saw, seem to be closer to what I remember Ko Samui to be like 40 years ago.

Yes, Ko Phangan is extra expensive. Also it depends on the time of year and how far in advance you book.
Awesome vid. I'm currently planning a trip to Thailand.
Kinda pricey are there cheaper digs available. 🎉 Viktors definitely on gear.
Just another day in paradise… 🏝️🍹👏
Like Phil Collins sang
Another beautiful island!
I lived here for 3.5 months in 2022. I miss it a lot!
What a beautiful place! The private Beach had Wild colors! My favorite part is the map abd I can’t wait to look it up on my google maps and wiki. Take care! 🎉
Wow, the google maps did not disappoint. So many beaches and waterfalls for this island. Looks like there is a lot to do too!
Amazing video 🤩The underwater world looks fantastic 🐠Thanks a lot for sharing and take care 👍
Seems the days of finding any good deals on Koh Phangan are getting difficult. The place Gabe is staying can be up to 6,000baht a night, even low season the cheapest price is over 2,000baht!
Wonderful ❤ that you get to meet some friends.
The coral reefs are so depleted it’s tragic.
Nice video Gabe
Do you ever wanna do a livestream Gabes, would be cool? I’am sure your subs would like it!
walking up those stairs is a workout
Gabe, you have 10 San Francisco 49er football stadiums full of subscribers now, just to put it in perspective. Think about it, 10 stadiums full, listening to you travel.....
Thanks 🎉
nice video love from nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵

🎯
Yeah, I noticed that comment and I didn't have it either 🙂
Love to be there, It looks great, The room is a little pricey for me, but I am a cheap bugger
Have fun
Definitely.
1:15 - 72 EURO pr. night, for that? Not a bargain, quite the opposite 😂
Nice
I'll be on Koh Samui since 21. january 😎
Great♥️

Yeah 80 USD a night. That is absolutely insane. Glad I went there in the 90's. I recommend Chiang Mai Gabe. Hope to see u there on this Thailand trip.
Beautiful. What is the name of this resort?
Bounty Resort.
SHROOMS!
You want good room go to Milky Bay.
❤❤❤
Wow, 3?
Got it.
False claim

7th lol.. hard to be the 1st
72€/night is too expensive.
@@anbol3573 but Gabriel claims its a reasonable price.

It's called Bounty Resort.
Why do so many farang pronounce it Koh Pon Yong when it is supposed to be Koh Pong On?
5328th Hi Gabriel ! ✌
Don't bother with the full moon party. Overhyped, overpoliced, overpriced and not a patch on it's reputation or indeed what it was like 15 years ago.
Someone dumping some sewage into the bay or what.

It would be nice to go to China
Your boyfriend very handsome Gabriel…
