the place was so beautiful and the bungalows are so cheap, im excited for the episode 3
Your video makes me want to go to Koh Tao so badly. It's so beautiful and has so much interesting stuff to draw me in. And, your narration is great. Makes it so much more enjoyable to watch now. Can't wait for Part 3.
Koh Tao Sairee will now be on top of my places to visit in LOS. Thanks for all the suggestions.
Nice video 👍 It was beautiful to see the fish jump in the ocean ! 😍
I like that you have write text in the video and prices, wow !
I really like the subtitle and the voice it’s very helpful to get good information about the place, keep up the good job 👌🏻🙏🏻
Again a great video of a nice location . Great video and description once again . I like that you take your time and actually let the viewer take it in unlike the histrionice younger generation that use the camera on themselves more than the location. well explained and shot . As a photographer you might have just given me a new location. Thank you .
Your vids are excellent travel guide. Every frame is packed with information. I need to watch when I pack for those places and those establishments. Info n details are what I need to follow your trails.. Thank you.
From a fellow Canadian. I was there 20 years ago. The beach was much wider, though it was October so also caught a bit of stormy season. How I'd love to be there now. So beautiful and peaceful. Prices more than right. I'm very sure that I still cannot sit on Thai pillow rests and since it was awkward for me 20 years ago, I'm sure impossible for me now.
So wishing that I was there. Looking forward to your next video.
People like U are fellow of nobody !
Best photograph video for Tao, all details and so great, thanks
Thank you for this video, I love Koh Tao and I miss it so much. Best island in the world
Very sad for the locals, but wow the islands are so beautiful without all the tourists, probably the the best time to visit right now. Great videos making me so depressed I’m not there.
Great vlog again good clear video. I usually take the big coach from Hua Hin to Chumpon then ferry across, fantastic island to just enjoy and relax.
We went on our honeymoon last Feb to March and stayed 5 nights at the Cabana resort in one of the cabins overlooking the view you liked. We had our own private rock to climb up and watch sunsets and a path down to the waters. Snorkeling great too.
Sairee village was a gongshow but I suppose 3 and some change years later, it was good to see cash come in for the locals.
My GF is from Kho Thao, we will go back there as soon thailand open up borders again😊🙏
i'm so glad i found you're channel im now binge watching this series
Make u feel sad and good at same time....longing for a return to Thailand but good to see the beauty ....
Cheers for the video reminds of the prices 30 years ago was coming to Thailand this Christmas for the god knows how many times can’t wait for next year,,,,peace and happiness to you
loving koh tao. must try it when i visit thailand next year. may move in for a few months.
I really hope you go to Sai Nuan beach. It's a 20 min walk from Mae Haad. Its Koh Taos hidden jem! I went there for a day trip and ended up staying for 2 months. paradise!
That was awesome in all of the beautiful places of the town.
Thanks so much for posting these videos! It’s given me my “why” back!
That's wonderful Mary! Also thank you for watching & commenting :)
ST..good job on the voice over and descriptions..THANK YOU another excellent video! Would love to see Changi mai in the future. Again hopefully we can get over there sooner than later..Your vids are really helping getting through this lockdown...looking forward to the next Vlog!
@Ricardo Celli Thanks as always RC, Chiang Mai in NY for sure! (have a big project to launch 1st;)
Great vid and makes me really wanna go back to Koh Tao. I have been there 4-5 times already, first time many years ago and then after I started scuba diving then the later times were all done in the last 2 years. The last time I was there was in June during the first long holiday after lockdown. It was really quiet with international tourists unable to visit and many restaurants & hotels out of business. It's still my favorite island since I've made many friends there from diving. Will be sure to go there again soon!
Loved your presentation my friend....like Thai Islands more and more. Thank you.
Very nice, with subtitles and voice overs combined to make a very informative video for future travelers.I also think you are doing a great service to some local establishments by publishing their prices for future business
Thanks for reminding me why I have to go back there again. ... Despite the 18+ hour flights from Calgary ( 23 hrs with stops) 😆
30 years ago in 1992 there was barely anything here except my $3 brand New straw bungalow with a mosquito net
Brought back memories STL, barracuda is my friend Ed's place, food is awesome,and sarrie cottage is also a friend, can't wait till the next episode
@Bad Badger Retired In Thailand - Very nice place, staff & views up at Barracuda Bar! Compliments to your mate/buddy Ed:)
Thanks for showing around another great island and its so cheap.
I loved it...it has been about 3 years since I was there..
now its the best time to travel around, (and i stay home :-( Thailand open the Gate !!!! ...nice Vlog ty so much
Least with nobody there, it gives the local environment a chance to recover
Magical place with everything - prices are amazing 🙏🇦🇺🍻👍 - Many Thanks STL
Thanks mate another solid video keeping us all exited for better times ahead 🙏 🇹🇭
Wowwwww What a Beautiful Island . Outstanding Beautiful
looks fantastic, another great video
Hello from Vancouver

@Russ R Thanks Russ! I LOVE Thailand & I'm so fortunate to be based here (especially at this time) but I also still love my hometown of Vancouver;)
Great video to get an idea of the island. Thanks, and keep it up !
Filipino Indian Family here watch from Abu Dhabi
Team Indialippines
Nice Video.I can wait to go back on thatt island in 3 weeks!!!
Really enjoyed the video it's very beautiful there , I also like that you are doing some commentery now, much better than the txt on the screen alone 👍
cant wait to come back to this gorgeous hotel
Love your videos. Great work. 👍
Greetings from cold and grey Germany 👋🇩🇪😁
Very nice👍. Do you also go to jansom bay? If you go there, you can walk over the beach true there. It is if you arrive on koh tao, you go to the right on the beach, tha you walk true sensi resort and a little further is charm churee resort, its the bay of the resort. It's always nice watching your movies. Stay good and healthy. 🙏
The awesome sidetrip strikes again..
Koh Tao Best diving I've ever done, The Bay islands "Roatan" are a close 2nd! Cheers!
Wow!! I was looking i if can spot the place i stayed back in 2019.. And 16:30 you walk right into my little beachfront cabin! Will be back in Koh Tao asap after pandemic, Thank you!
@Niko 0 That room and view was amazing! Hang in there, better days coming & you can see the sunset from that balcony again :) Take care
Dude, you have a nice vibe, good video, and interesting locals. But, I want to see you ,,,,, and, preferably, you and your mate, enjoying these beautiful locations. Come on, man! Make you vlogs more personl?
Lovely vlog. Our daughter who owned and ran mojo divers had to leave because of covid. At home now still trying to adjust to sunny England?. Take care
21:43 shark bay, my favourite place
Very beautiful island 🌴
I'm Thai and that is my 2nd favourite island.
What's your 1st?
Excellent as always. 👍😁❤️
Never checked out those islands. They certainly look like they're worth a look. Food and drink prices look reasonable. That's assuming we're ever allowed to travel overseas again from Australia. I'm beginning to lose hope.
Don't lose hope, better times ahead!
Char bungalows & the banana rock cafe , Supa chilled place to go 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻😌
hi looks like a kool place to hang out for a few days, some nice cheap accommodation as well👍😀🙏
Mama O Chai has been the best find in this video. It is dead cheapppp!!! for a beach front bungalow
From what l see it seems to be more a bagpacker’s or couple’s island than a family destination. Nevertheless much fun to watch. Thank you 🙏🏻
Enjoyed the video! Excellent 👍
Great channel!
Thank you!
You do a very good job with these videos 👍🏾
Thanks Jerry, appreciate that :)
i would like to thank you so much bevause i found your video and i was looking for a cheap place for stay 1 month lol and i will go to the sairee cotage in february lol so i will go to koh tao for the first time
"It's here lost Paradise, it's here, it's here lost Paradise, it's here..." (Marc Almond)
Nice spot, just waiting for the people to return!
I am just curious, what type of camera did you use to film your video?
The quality was very good.
Perhaps you can answer a question about Mama Ochai's options. The only room available for when we want to stay is a standard double room with fan or double room with garden view. Do you know if these units are facing the beach? I can't tell on google earth where these would be located, though I do see the bungalows facing the beach. If you know an answer to this question, we would greatly appreciate your response. Thank you!
If I recall there's about 6 (?) beachfront fan bungalows. However, if you end up in the second row you still hear the waves, get the sea breeze and a peekaboo sea view between bungalows. Just loved Mama Ochai's. PS: stayed there again on this follow-up trip: ruclips.net/video/E0qMy5Hi6n0/видео.html&t
Cool place and on the list
and again TOP Video, ((what else :-)) long time ago (15years) i stay 2 weeks in Koh tao (Thipwimarn Resort) it was nice. Mainbeach = every evening nice beach partys, great food (grilled fresh fish) . Nice to dive /or learning =the prices are cheap . i wish i can travel to thailand :-( maybee 2022 :-) . another Live-Video would be nice
Nice vids .... even though you have the quietest voice in the history of the world ... Even when I turn volume right up I can still barely hear you . . Happy travels (-:
Thax JLB, still feels weird talking to myself thus the quiet but trying to up my personal volume. Perhaps have a look at this vid, made just recently on Koh Phangan: ruclips.net/video/boKPpU_RSqk/видео.html
@@SideTripLife Thanks STL. Great vid ...Still very quiet though but I can live with it (-:
Chumpon is nice place plenty of sea food 3 years I was there.
Great channel & a nice video, amazing content :-)
Excellent video. Thanks again. I watched your Phangan and Samui videos. I have a question. In your opinion , which beach ( between the 3 islands)would you recommend for a 4 days stay. I will be having a guest from France. I am from Malaysia and would like to bring her to the best beach ( in your humble opinion) in Dec or Jan 2022.A mid class accommodation but a beautiful beach.
Hi Ted, that's really tough... but I would consider these options:
Bophut Samui: ruclips.net/video/m4XW1e2S4Xk/видео.html
Crystal Bay Samui: ruclips.net/video/DNKCfZ2mtis/видео.html
Bangrak Samui: ruclips.net/video/WJNTJL-c5t0/видео.html
Haad Yao or Haad Chao Pao KPG: ruclips.net/video/boKPpU_RSqk/видео.html
Hin Kong KPG: ruclips.net/video/t1N9SpYEik8/видео.html
(your French guest may love L'Alcove at Hin Kong)
*will be uploading new vids from Koh Tao soon so pls check back for more :)
@@SideTripLife Thanks ....very fast response...did not expect it. Bravo....i appreciate it
Is the price the normal price or heavily discounted price cuz of covid19?
Well presented and very informational👍
@Ah Yae Yeung Hi AYY, all the food prices in restaurants shown are normal regular prices EXCEPT where it says 'discount 15%' then deduct 15% and where it says 'Daily Special' etc then it's a special. Prices of hotels were discounted but for example my beachfront room was 800 baht (discounted) and usually 1100-1200 she said, still great! That 4000 baht $130 month Thai cottage I showed is seasonal price I think (same sign as last year btw) but again in 'normal' high season probably not much more. Obviously one can spend a LOT more on posher places too but for me, cheap n cheerful on or near the each and sorted! :) Edit to add, pls see part 1 for my hotel tour and prices: ruclips.net/video/jFuUVDvPxGY/видео.html
Beautiful!
Beautiful Beaches 👍👍🇹🇭
Hidden gem,thanks!
I like how you teach us how to go here from Bangkok.
Take a lift dude 555
I normally RUBBISH lots of Thailand vloggers..because of their LOOK @ ME BS ..yankwankmememe. ! this one is GREAT ,informative,capturing the ISLAND IN ESSENCE,...I will check out more of your SIDE TRIP !
Absolutely beautiful!
Looking forward to see how Koh Samui is doing.
Robert Hintzke Thanks Robert. Will do upcoming, Koh Phangan + Koh Samui.
I live on Koh Samui it has been devastated by the COVID-19 lockdown the main tourist areas look like ghost towns. Thai government just announced they will not be opening to foreign tourist until after March which would be a full year since the lockdown started. Unfortunately many of the tourist businesses probably will not open again due to bankruptcy. www.traveldailymedia.com/thailand-general-tourism-close-until-march-2021/
Wow....You know Joe/Gift....and their dogs..!!
Only via a couple communications, really like that they care for the local dogs in PKK. Also Prachuap Khiri Khan/PKK is my fav town in all Thailand and one of my 1st vids: ruclips.net/video/Z7FE2_vqOcY/видео.html
Great Vid very informative thanks
This is fantastic 👍 so getting to the island from Phuket would you say is easy? Any tips for spending 2 weeks there
Hi, Phuket is on opposite coast (West coast) and the gulf islands are on the East coast but it's easily doable. Maybe fly into Phuket for a couple nights, then take a boat to Phi Phi for a night, then boat to Ao Nang/Krabi/Railay for 2 nights, then short bus trip to Surat Thani and boat to Samui then reverse island hop Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao then final boat to Chumpon and sleeper train to Bangkok -or up to my FAV beach town area in all Thailand, Prachuap Khiri Khan::

Better days ahead, happy travels:)
How’s the WiFi there? If the WiFi was good I’d considered being a digital nomad there
What docs are required to visit long term there?.......Beautiful place....Great vid....
Depends if under 50 or over + how long wanting to stay? There's the newish (& awkwardly named;) 'STV' 90 day visa -extendable to 9 months. There's also various 'Ed' type visas (Thai language, cooking, Muay Thai, etc etc) up to 8 months + limited extendable/with conditions, from 20-30K Baht/$650-$1000 USD. There's also the 'Elite' Visa various options (5, 10, 20 year) from 500K Baht/$16K USD. If over 50 there's a retirement visa (extendable yearly) must have either 800K Baht/26K USD bank balance, or 65K Baht/2.1K USD monthly income. There's other 'visitor' visas but I think that's the main batch. Currently any visa option must be firstly approved by your local TH Embassy & then go through quarantine requirements of course. Hope the above info is all still accurate (check your local Thai Embassy site for latest!) & helps answer your query. Cheers!
@@SideTripLife Thanks!!
Gorgeous.
Thank you again the best video
@Osman Yegin Thanks. Personally I liked making the following video more but it wasn't recommended much by utoob, thus less views: ruclips.net/video/fFGZV3--RIs/видео.html
Do you know if they've fixed the sewage problem in Koh Tao? Apparently, they were pumping the sewage out into the ocean because there's nowhere else to send it.
Not certain but water was crystal clear in most places despite mass muddy runoff. Eventually tho all will have to ante up plenty more to pay for upgrades to infrastructure. Hopefully it turns out better than some Western examples from Sydney to UK to Florida, Canada & more:
-Raw sewage dumped into English and Welsh beaches '2,900 times this year'

are your conversions in cdn or us? do you have any videos with you in them. i am curious who is behind the camera. thumbs up thanks for sharing
USD. To convert to our Canadian Loonies/Peso, note our Aussie cousin's AUD rate and add approx 10%. Can see me in this video: ruclips.net/video/LrWeMkHa1-o/видео.html&t
Thx for watching, cheers!
@@SideTripLife thanks for the reply, technically i guess i did "see" you. lol. Merry Christmas
Awesome video thanks
Hi, great vid! Are there beaches on Koh Tao where you can snorkel nicely or do you need to take a boat to snorkel spots?
Hi, yes, best snorkeling is mostly along the East coast. Lighthouse, Tanote Bay, Ao Hin Wong, etc, etc but a bit trickier to get to (by boat/bike/hike, depending). But for closer in Shark Bay is worth a stop. Here's a wee look from a more recent trip: ruclips.net/video/E0qMy5Hi6n0/видео.html
@@SideTripLife Excellent, thanks for your helpful reply!
Been there 10 years ago. Did some diving with Impian. Had a very nice time. Very friendly thai people. The only thing that cost a fortune was scuba diving. I still miss the Thai people and lifestyle. I have not seen any luxury rental rooms on koh tao. Working as a DM did not paid anything. I still remember that a package lm cigarettes cost 40 bath. The THAI's charter flights were perfect. Never seen that in EU. What a great service. But many foreigners only come to Siam for the Girls. Ifyou travel thru the country you see a whole other side of thailand. Good, and also some very bad things that makes you cry. Also many corrupted cops that fine you for nothing. Dont be fooled by YT vids that only let you see the good parts. If you get in prison, you get 2 steel concrete bars wrapped around your feet. The old way like 1800's. They have a firing squad for murders and drugs cases. Please be aware that Asia does not tolerate DRUGS. As a tourist youre nothing than a walking ATM for the thai goverment. Be aware of that. Overall i did had a great time, and learned allot. My advice for tourist that go to Thailand is have a low profile . Dont be a rich guy. Dont not stand out. Get in touch with locals, and let them guide you through the country side. You would be amazed what you will never thought to see.
sound advice, cheers.
Haha I was at that brunch at Good times. Were you on that speedboat that arrived from Koh Samui?
@Tom From Rust Looks like you guys were having a great time! Wasn't on the Samui boat which beached at Good times, actually I took THIS boat to get there: ruclips.net/video/jFuUVDvPxGY/видео.html
Great video thank you
Welcome to Thailand my country
@นิน่า น่ารัก Krup Khun Krup! Happy to be here in your beautiful country at anytime and actually feel GRATEFUL to be here especially at this time. So thanks Thailand & Thai people, you've been wonderful to me :)
Looks like my kinda place, if you can't relax there then you got serious issues
OMG you called beer wobbly pops, i heard that once in my life in Nelson BC from...You? Andy used to think it was funny and called you wobbly pops
Best place in Thailand!
nope rocky bay on the other side is much nicer and even can see riff shark during snorkling
