I can't believe the generosity of those people driving you there.
That's Thai people for you. Happened again on my way back too!
11:17 THANK YOU SO MUCH! We love you too!!❤️
We dont see this Trip complete, we see EVERY trip from you complete :-) We enjoy yr Vids so much, it is a weekly Highlight to see your Vids.
Thank you very much for this series! My girlfriend and i watched it all in one go an a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon here in Germany in anticipation to our trip next January!
We already stayed in Koh Chang at the end of 2019 but still found lots of new and helpful information in this!
We really like your style in marathon as well as thoroughness when it comes to providing information on pricing and the lot!
Again thank you for this series and all the best to you!
Thanks guys! Have a wonderful trip!
Dude I love your gratitude for the kindness of these people
I very much enjoyed this series. I've been to Koh Chang many times but great to see from the perspective of someone going for the first time. Good job!
Yes i did watch the whole series and i would go on watching for eternity if you'd decided to settle down in Koh Chang 😊
Thank you very much for filming this wonderful trip and sharing it with us who can't be there at the moment. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers!
TACK/Cheers! STL
Cheers and thanks love your spirit as a Vancouverite myself it seems the easy going west coast way is a perfect match for the Thai Buddhist culture.I have never yet made it across the big pond but hoping to this year's end.Anyway I am getting alot of great info and entertainment from your work and appreciate it.Thanks again
5 cheers for that 5 ayes and may you get across the pond in the future :) STL
Every time I watch your videos I realize how much I still have to see in Thailand but your Koh Chang series has me wondering why I am still in Canada? haha One more year to go & I am there for good. Thanks, for all the great stops I can discover once there.
Thanks for watching and speedy 1 year to freedom! STL
What a fantastic series yet again so much information, great locations, amazing places to stay & eat I doubt there is a vlogger in Thailand that has your unique sense of fun & awe. Thanks for taking the time to compile all this it won’t go to waste have a nice rest in BKK 👍👍👍
Wonderful comment, thank you kindly Mr O'Hagan :) STL
After this group of videos this may be my first few weeks stay keep up the great work
Wonderful..... I wonder how long it will be before you dream of the peace and quiet you had during Covid?? lol...... Looking forward to your next adventure STL... :-)))
Yes, I did view all the entire série. Always interesting and helpful tips. I am planing to be Bangkok in August this year. Best regards
Yeah I've seen the entire series. And looking forward to the next!
Thanks for that rolandet and for being a lonnng time watcher. Much appreciated! STL
Thanks for the great vids on Koh Chang will be there in 2 days can’t wait awesome thanks again.
Great series, loved it thanks. We love Koh Chang and will be back there one day too. Just booked 3 nights in Khanom, on our road trip booked for November. It's been on our bucket list since watching your videos. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks Mia M love Khanom too! For any looking in and missed that series, here's an intro: ruclips.net/video/bwVt5uFEyRM/видео.html
Hiya, Congratulations. 29K. Well deserved. I love your morning routine for breakfast. Nice drone footage. Nice ride. Beautiful views. Nice shout out to Dave. GottaLoveThailand. Got lots of time for, Dave. He is lovely. Lovely Koh chang. Thank you for the tour around. I loved the videos. Lovely. You got a ride again. Welcome back to Bangkok. Enjoyable video as always. Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend.
Thx Nicky, going past that stretch I recalled watching their stay at lovely Serenity Resort (also like the friendly banter on the GotToLoveThailand livestream's:) STL
Another great video! Love watching your adventures! Just back from the beautiful Surin on Phuket. Great to be back in Thailand. However, now struck down with COVID for the first time here in the UK and it’s very nasty. Be careful when travelling, Covid has not gone away!
Koh Chang so beautiful island 😲😉🤙🏝🏖
Hay the wife and i loved the series where in brazil on holidays watching ,now where back home in kitimat just fnnished the last show Looking forward to the next adventure was told we are heading there to thailand next just a heads up hahaaa .really enjoying the shows
Really enjoyed the Koh Chang deffo have that high on my list for my next trip to Thailand
Loved the whole series! Thank you!
I love your briliant videos !!! Thank you for great work !!!
Much appreciated! STL
Thank you for yet another amazing, fun and informative video! Thumbs up! :)
Thanks The Dude. Btw, again, sorry I showed your place in this vid ruclips.net/video/E0qMy5Hi6n0/видео.html
Thank you for the tips and tricks! Especially the airport food court. 🙏
Thanks Rick (also for watching to the end;). Just seen yet another RUclips vid complaining about airside food prices. Too bad they didn't know about the wonderful 'Magic Food Court' at Suvarnabhumi. STL
Great series,loved it,thank you 🙏🏼🏝
Another excellent video! Looking forward to wherever you head next!
Also some good info in this video for when I make my own exit from KC back to BKK. Still trying to figure out what route I want to go whether via bus, taxi, or plane. Hmmm, decisions decisions.
And I am thrilled because of the next episode. Listening to you bla bla during 20 minutes on a buss... I think I prefer to watch the fantastic Brittish tv-series Emmerdale over and over and over again...
lol! More a 'The Canal Trip' fan meself ;) STL
Another Island, another superb series, thank you for the brilliant tour around Koh Chang. Your content and information is first class, Congratulations on 29k , fully deserved, looking forward to your next tour, wherever it may be. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks kindly Ian, also for being a long time follower, much appreciated :) STL
Even just looking at the comments on this vlog alone you can see the influence and help you give people in making their choices for trips to Thailand and we are no different in that we’re looking to visit Khanom when we’re in Sami in a few weeks. A place I had no idea about until your videos. You are enriching travellers experiences and helping the local economy. Koch Chang is simply stunning and unknown to us until you brought it to us. So looking forward to the next series. Well done STL👏
What a lovely comment R B, thank you kindly. STL
Absolutely superb vlogs so laid back great vibes from your channel
We're coming to Thailand in Dec and based on your recent videos - we are deffo going to Koh Chang!!! Great series, love your style and info! Nice one
As someone currently on KC, it is beautiful here. Dec will hopefully be a great time to visit!
@@Aspenglade where abouts are you and any other good recommendations to stay?
Great series, I really enjoy your work
Great vid as always 🙏
Thanks for taking us on a tour of Koh Chang.
Refreshing to see such clean beaches
Nice video, as always. Surprisingly, my favourite part was the voyage from Suvarnabhumi to Asoke. Brings back a lot of memories. Won't be much longer until I'm back.
Thx Jeff, enjoy your upcoming trip! STL
Great series. Thanks so much. Life certainly getting back to normal here
Thanks Kev. Koh Chang is still quiet mid week but weekends and holidays busier for sure and good to see. STL
I watched the entire series, I actually watch every video and series, I love your take on Thailand, I watch a lot of RUclipsrs from there but I really enjoy yours the most, thanks for sharing, hoping to make it there myself very soon 👍😎
Thanks gleyn and hope you make it over this way soon. Cheers, STL
Koh Chang is now on my list.
Thanks.
Never been a fan of the swim up bar as you know they are just peeing in the pool. Loving the chill out vibe, great Vlog as always!
Ok BigJed, fess up, how do you KNOW that...? lol STL
great vid and tips. keep it coming!
Cheers Trieu
Thanks for the video 🙂👍
Nice upload enjoyed watching always stay connected 🌸
A nice serie. Really look for your next video. 🙏🏻
Thanks Jorgen. Coming soon! STL
A great video and series STL , so helpful for travelers going to Koh Chang like myself and your information layout is wonderful ! I enjoy your work very much and always look forward to you next video ! Thank you , enjoy and please keep them rolling ...
Thanks Karl. Just my 1st visit to Koh Chang but hope some of my wanderings may be helpful to other newbies. Have a great trip! STL
@@SideTripLife Thanks STL , enjoy and stay safe !
Great spot, that I hope to see again soon.
sooo good!
As expected, fantastic 👌👌
Thanks Krish
*X* ~ Lent Video Loved It From Dry=)TX).
great video , thanks from canada
ifishsouth Thx eh ;) STL
🍻 well time to move on 😏 - gee that went quick - Amazing series an absolute definite 😎👌👍 - Thanks STL 🙏
Thanks for coming along and for always commenting Ant, appreciated. STL
Thanks for all your vids mate, really love all the detail you give. Hopefully will be able to return soon but not until all the mask wearing and other restrictions end. Do you think it will be soon or are the Thais in for the long haul??? Want to get there for my 60th next year but would choose elsewhere if restrictions remain and just have to keep watching your vids for our Thailand fix...lol. Keep up the good work my friend!!
Thanks Pete. Soon. But recall even before this, many Thais and Asians in general wore masks thus expect many to continue. Meanwhile, almost no one wears one on a beach etc and that will likely continue too.
Love how you narrated your video, very informative. Just curious, you never show your face on your vlog? We would like to see what you look like!
Thanks Vinit. I have appeared in a few (albeit briefly) but my vids are about the places I visit and what's in front of the camera, not about me, also I'm not into self fame etc. My neighbour in Bangkok is a very well known youtuber and even standing right beside in the lift, has no idea I'm on YT, I'm just some guy and I like that :) STL
Wow, your still on Koh Chaing? We are getting ready to head to koh Tao thanks to watching one of your previous videos…..nice work!
Had to go but will be back. Elephant Isle to Turtle Isle sounds perfect, enjoy! STL. EDIT TO ADD: Any looking in here's an intro to Turtle Isle/Koh Tao: ruclips.net/video/E0qMy5Hi6n0/видео.html
Thanks for pointing out the Magic Food Court. We were looking for that a few weeks ago before flying back to US and couldn’t find it. It’s on the main (1st)floor correct, next to elevator?
I must meet you someday 🥰 !
STL, great vid. Don't forget to scan camera cha cha ... slowly, slowly.
Thanks
Thanks for the support, much appreciated:) STL
@@SideTripLife keep the videos coming, best content on here...
Great mate…..enjoy T21
Another nice one, my guy!
I'm sure you've considered buying a motorbike at some point but prefer to rent as needed. Would love to hear your thoughts on this in an upcoming vlog 🙏
Thanks again, STL!
Hey Up2U, great question, thanks. In Bangkok tempted to get an electric scooter but may move so holding off (& yes, a vid on electric scooters is coming ;) STL
@@SideTripLife Nice! Can't wait!
Great vlog (as always). What's the feasibility of getting from the airport to say central Bangkok on the MRT/BTS with luggage as a tourist, do able or not in your opinion?
TY Heather. 1 bag on wheels, one carry max. Also 2 or more people, taxi may make more sense and for sure more ease. STL
@@SideTripLife OK thanks for that. Yes it would be 2 people with the usual over packed luggage 😂. So probably taxi will be better. Was just excited seeing how easy it is on the MRT/BTS. Hopefully looking at November (can't get leave from work until then 😭) after 3 years away 😲.
I know what I prefer if I must choose between beach and BKK
Regarding
Micke from 🇸🇪
Would have been nice to see where you stay and pricing . Lots of excellent tips for travel to get off koh chang
Thanks KCL. For prices and a proper tour of that wonderful place pls see this vid: ruclips.net/video/xfPOAe5oI5U/видео.html Cheers! STL
It is always sad to leave somewhere that you fall in love with.
Hey buddy, is it me who's blind or did you forget to put the prices in description?
BTW like always I love your videos and your optimistic tone
Cheer !!
this comment is priceless ;) STL
@@SideTripLife okay then I guess I'm blind
cheers !
Apologies! Thought you were joking but I did forget (sorry bout that).No worries, it's all here in a prev vid: ruclips.net/video/xfPOAe5oI5U/видео.html
Cheers, STL
Do you need a place in Bangkok ? you seem so much happier at the islands . I fly out in 2 weeks can't wait
Thanks John. LOVE the beach but Bkk is just so central/easy to get anywhere, stll thinking of moving tho... Enjoy your trip! STL
At 6:26 the guy at the bike rental had a Portuguese team sweater...
What was that about? Threw me off.
says The Turin's Dragon lol ;) STL
Where to next?
Hello sir. We were talking about music last week and I forgot to ask you if you were a massive tragically hip fan?
Gord Downie was/is the finest talent and possibly human being to ever get up on a stage in Canada. I can't listen to any Hip tune (my fav Blow At High Dough) without getting emotional. Loved the guy, love the Hip. RIP Gord
Thankfully being in Buffalo they played them on local radio while I was growing up. From what I understand they are essentially completely unknown in the rest of the U.S.
@@kookiebush on a farewell vid this comment from a fan in Texas resonated: '"I'm not Canadian. Born and raised in Texas. The Hip were my favo(u)rite band. RIP Gord."
That's good to know...absolutely sensational band. I saw them in Toronto way back at Sars stock... Rolling stones, ac/dc, rush...and justin Timberlake. They were throwing garbage at him.
You need to get yourself a folding / collapsable landing sheet. You will stuff your drone landing on sand ! Ask me how I know !
Good tip but 1st I need to learn to fly the thing lol STL
Fly in your house, room whenever and as often you can . The chance of hitting something is massive, but you develop the fine motor skills on the controls that are necessary to build the muscle memory which not only gives you confidence but makes you a better flyer. Ps when landing turn your camera to point down vertically . Whats is in the center of your screen is what your going to land on . I use the crosshair feature in the app to help with this .
What was the name of the place you were staying and how much was it?
Sure, all here, pls see: ruclips.net/video/xfPOAe5oI5U/видео.html STL
Do you think I can find a place in Koh Chang that has AC, good internet, and a work desk all for 7,000 Bhat or less during the rainy season (September - October)?
Sure Keith, a commenter here Aspenglade stays at a place with with pool for 7K, see Faye Orchid Garden Resort on FB (others too, just ask around, not sure bout desk tho). For beachfront try Sunset Huts, bet they'd give a deal for a few months see: ruclips.net/video/5h5ASaH4DAs/видео.html
@@SideTripLife Thank you so much!
@@keithcortez5929 Yup that's me! Faye Orchid only has one or two rooms at this rate but the longer you stay the more likely you are to talk places into a lower rate. Be aware that this place isn't on the beach and is in a small little hamlet outside of Lonely Beach itself. No issue if you get a scooter but if you don't and are here only, you're only going to have one or two places to eat at!
Anyways, the beds here are incredible soft and comfortable and there is a table and chair (although typical wooden one only, not great for long hours working). My only issue is that they only have the small bar fridges here so you're not gonna be storing much in it!
Glad I read down the comments on the vid and stumbled across yours so I could add my two cents! If you have any questions, feel free to tag me back.
@@keithcortez5929 Oh and to add to the other comment, the internet here is about ~35down and ~50up on the wifi. Pretty great considering.
Why didn’t you go from Suvarnabhumi to Phaya Thai and then switch to the bts skytrain and go to ASOK bts !
Phaya Thai bit further but does go directly to Suk Line. I just like the Makkasan-Asoke MRT route esp as I planned to stop at Asoke for a bite.
Can you do a video on Bike rentals? So many horror stories, but you seem to find the honest vendors. Do you leave your passport? Have you ever had deposits withheld for fake damage? Thanks!
Never leave passport, deposit ok, never lost a deposit and never had faked damage or a dishonest bike vendor either. If in doubt, any town you're in, ask on FB in the main expat group which place is best. STL
As someone else who has rented bikes all over TH, I gotta agree with STL, *never* leave your passport. Let them take a picture or a photocopy and leave cash as a deposit if they need it but your primary travel document? Nope, not a chance. I've never had a bad rental place either but it only takes one to really ruin things for you so not worth the risk.
I actually did some decent damage to a bike in Chiang Mai back in Dec when I dumped out on the Mae Hong Son loop and they were very good with how they dealt with me. Fair rates and super helpful otherwise.
#KohChang
Never go to #KohChang #thailand Islands on the weekends #Bolt for ground transportation
Love Thailand! Maybe I told you about the Italians already? I am not sure they loved Thailand after visiting those islands... "Centara, Centara", they asked for at Koh Kood. Centara is at Koh Chang. They did not pay attention, as the first timers they were, like you... and took the wrong songtheaw and then jumped on the wrong boat...
Dude your nervous laugh is super irritating
heh heh heh, er, noted lol;) Btw, good vids on Samet, may head there soon. Cheers, STL
@@SideTripLife I am there now....buy you a beer since my comment was trollish 😂
