    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🙌🏽

    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
