Time to re-watch some of your previous content again. Flights booked for May ✔️. Need to figure out which different I'm heading when I land at BKK. BTW, the videos are not boring/too much info, the flow is good. Your attention to detail is great. Just the RIGHT amount of info for all who needs 👍.
Your content is never boring, Was on Koh Chang when the first reoprts of Covid came out of China and when I got back to the mainland every one was wearing masks. I have pleanty of other places in Thailand to cross of my to visit list but I do plan to get back to Koh Chang at some point.
It tickles me when you question the length of your videos😄 in all honesty the vibe and content makes your videos fly by. You’ve changed my feelings about visiting Thailand 👏🏻👍✌️🤙🙏🍻
So nice to see you made it to my favourite place in Thailand. I had been going to Koh Chang every year since 2005 bar the past 2 Covid years so it's wonderful to see your video's on how it's all doing. It's never too long your videos it's the week wait that's the hardest 😁 Thanks for your videos and looking forward to Kai Bae and Lonely.
Thank you for the kind comment Darren. You've been going every year since 2005, wow! My 1st visit but I now see the attraction to Koh Chang. Cheers! STL
First time we visited KC stayed at Thors Palace in White sands…..now sadly gone…..I’ve travelled the world for 45 years and the view there was SIMPLY THE BEST I’ve ever experienced in my life!!…..period…..(it was opposite a well known Irish/pub/ hotel at the south end ….painted all green).
Ive been to KC ten times and only ever visited whitesands beach one time. It is a necessary tourist trap that helps to keep the rest of the island nicer.
I intend to spend next winter in Thailand. Your videos help guide me to areas I would want to see and hide from another Canadian winter. You have lots of info and suggestions on how to adapt to a more relaxed lifestyle. Good work
Don't spend to much time in main cities, get out to real Thailand, but be warned this is not always the land of smiles. Be very street wise. I lived there in ubon , but loved moving around, scooter is your best choice but if you can budget for a car do it.
Hallo ! And thanks 👍 for beautiful memories ! Was that White sand beach ⛱️ two times - November 2018 and 2019 , remember all at beach area ! So miss for this amazing view, and arrived soon ! 27.02.23 ! Forward see Koh Chang
To answer your question, yes still watching, not boring. I especially like the little gems. Simple beauty of a sunset, a chair and a table have always been my cup of tea. I loved your Lake Toba vids. It was stunning beauty and I'm sure the camera doesn't do it justice. I'm a few years from retiring and so many channels concentrate on living in one place. I want a nice base camp, but I want to take these little trips to these gems, these beautiful places. You are doing good things my friend.
Who needs a pool w the sea outside your window? Old room, new room? I see absolutely no flaw in the 'old' room. Nice woman giving you a ride. No surprise there. Ppl r outstanding!
We are loving your videos, I think they are one of the best out there. You take time showing places where we would not go to. I discounted Koh Chang due to the mountains in the middle as views are restricted. Also I wasn't keen on Hua Hin.... But you justify making trips there. The length of the videos is spot on, they can be longer and we love your style so no issues at all. Thanks for what you are doing.
After living there for 12 years Beach Tango cafe is the best on the island friendly staff and great food. Don and Air are the owners always accommodating for their customers
Agreed Farshid, Beach Tango is tops, as are the wonderful folks who run it, plus fantastic food and grog all at reasonable prices. Easily my fav beach bar, maybe anywhere!
great presentation. All information I wanted and super views of the setting. sold on koh chang if they are open in November. Stuck in Canada's endless winter for 2 years.
Thanks for the trip brother, the video was perfect, love all your videos. Thanks fir always taking us with you and all the info is great. God bless you. Enjoy 🍻
Was there 2weeks ago. Got to try White Elephant for breakie and absolute must is El Barrio mexican. Rent a bike and do east side road. BangBao Beach Resort and Mr A's resto next door.at end of the road on the south end are your kinda spots. That worst road is that 1st stretch after the ferry. South end not as bad.
I think you're spot on about my kinda spots. El Barrio has been vlogged more than Mark Wiens restaurant (lol;) but will pop by and also look at others in Kai Bae. Cheers, STL
Wow would love to spend time here in sooo many places. Your never boring. Love the places you choose. Think I'm planning my next trip to samui and koh Chang based on places you have shown me. I used to go to bang rak and big Buddha and love watching that video. The cafe at big Buddha they used to have pics of myself and children. Can't wait to go back again. Beautiful view. Mama chai's looked lovely too
Would love some commentary comparing Koh Chang and some of the other islands, especially Koh Samui. Considering these two for my next trip! I feel they are quite different in many respects. Thanks from Toronto!
Yep, same-same but different. Completely different vibe on Koh Chang and then also depends which beach you're on (will look at the other beaches upcoming in this series). I love both so would recommend visiting both if possible. Btw, Go Leafs looking great this season (from a long suffering Canucks fan;)
Thanks for your video I stopped on white sand beach in 95 but there was no electricity then in the huts but we were paying 25 baht a night..Great to see it although it’s changed so much, I hope to come back and visit the place looks just beautiful what a country ❤
Loved this video. What a gorgeous place. All those lovely bars and restaurants on the beach. And amazing fire show. Loved the ramshackle hotels!! Cathy and Kevs x
Your vids are ALWAYS great. Chilled. Loved walking along White Sand Beach 🏖 with you tonight. Sitting here in freezing 🥶 south end of Australia 🇦🇺 raining & grey. I love the little map references And how you put $$$ prices up in different currencies. AND !!!!! I love how you never have the camera in ya face. Filming your surroundings. Tis great 👍 Never ever boring btw. Never !!😎👌🙏
Great vlog as usual. Never worry about the length of the film. Can’t wait to be back in Thailand again. Heading to Phuket next month and the Beautiful Surin Phuket.
Fantastic vlog especially the north side where Pens & Starbeach bungalows we’re. I have been to shite sand’s many times & never knew they existed I will be going there when I get back in August. You are a hive of information thanks for your efforts 👍👍👍
Had many a great holiday in Koh Chang.... stayed in a few places you showed.. Rock Sand was 8 years ago, and a really nice chilled place. Then that is the whole island, yes there are lively parts too and some great boat trips from the bottom of the island.... its not your wild party party island, its just a bit more rustic and refined... plenty for all budget ranges. Its a safe cool holiday to just explore, chill out meet some nice people and just relax and forget time.
Great vlog! There are more people around compared to some videos by other RUclipsrs from a few weeks to a month ago! Thanks for featuring some of the hotels, cafe and bars:)
Thanks! Weekend picks up considerably esp at White Sand Beach. But great to see more flip flops on the ground increasingly (never thought I'd say that but given the past 2 years...)
Love ur real vids, I feel like I’m there soaking up the atmosphere with you, my wife and I stayed KB bungalow resort in 2009, I can’t wait to come back. Cool vids Mr STL.
I think your videos are fantastic. Even though I have been to many of the places you have visited in Thailand it is really interesting to see the places I missed. I could live on Koh Chang if Thailand ever makes some of their requirements easier to meet. Latest obstacle is the medical coverage as I'm too old to easily get it.
Koh chang is absolutely fantastic. I stayed at the KC, it was perfect. If you want some fun nightlife go to the Rockbar. It’s live music where you dance and sing so loudly. Loved it so much ❤ Planning to come back in January
Hiya, how nice you got a ride. Love that. Lovely. You both have company on your journey. Great information about the ferry time journeys. Definitely a gem of a place to stay. Perfect. Always good vibes. Always love videos from Koh Chang. Thank you for sharing. Have a lovely day.
Me my wife and son are heading to koh chang in june, never been before so looking forward to it Charlie's hut in chaweng Beach brings back memories. 25 years ago 😂 £2 a night Great vid looking forward to the next one 👍
....this is a nice video. im planning to stay for the long holidays next week in banpu resort right there in white sand beach, and this made me confirm. video has maps so it’s quite helpfully detailed. thanks for this.
Another great video and I liked your song references. Just keep on being you. I would love to achieve this part of your life. Not been to Thailand for 10 years now miss it so much thank you for inspiring me.
Seriously LOVE your videos man. Never to much of anything. Keep it up. Coming down to Thailand all the way from Norway and are going to stay there all of august
@@SideTripLife Thank you so much. Yeah, med and the misses don't realy enjoy to many people. Pluss er both work offshore in the North Sea in Norway and got a couple good trips out to Sea, so August is the best option for is this year. Is it a little left of the rainy season then or is is beginning or how is it regarding rain then?
I would love it if you would do a compilation video of all the rasta bars you've encountered on your travels! I know, that's a big ask. 😋 But if you're ever so inclined, I'll be very grateful.
Amazed that you mentioned Charlie Hut in Samui. I remember them from my first trip to Chaweng in 1999. I think there was also Viking Hut nearby. I stayed at Beachcomber not to far away. Thank you for the memory. 555
Thanks fir the memories Firecat. My 1st visit to Thailand was as a young guy in '98 and I stayed at legendary Charlies Huts. Chaweng streets were mainly mud tracks, the beach was pristine and I loved it. I still love Samui in present day (and now Koh Chang) but we're both fortunate to have these memories. STL
I usually watch these later at night...the food part gets me sometimes. Lol And your song references are great. 😅 Happy singing works too...every time. ;)
It is a lot of content, but helpful as I didn't see the NW part of the island last time I was there. I understand that it attracts more Thai's to this area, the main tourism areas are futher south on the island. Cheers!
Love this video, especially the Saeng Arun part! We always stayed there to finish our Thailand trips. If your still there thens send our love to Beach Tango Don and Air and to Jib of Saeng Arun! In high season the beachfront cabins did 2200 baht. Cheers!
Your 'local' on Koh Chang is an absolute gem Jack, glad I stumbled upon Saeng Arun/Beach Tango and yes, super nice staff who make you feel right at home. I think the beachfront row was going for 2K but they were all taken. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Cheers, STL
Been on Koh Chang for nearly the past month but I am on the other side of the island where it is very quiet. Just been relaxing and chillin out. Thinking I might move over to White Sands next week though, we'll see. Certainly better than sitting in a hotel room in Chiang Mai for 3 months was!
@@SideTripLife Yup doing significantly better now! Toes in sand, sunburn on skin haha. Looking forward to seeing these upcoming vids of your adventure! Also, I don't at all mind longer vids from you. They are chill and enjoyable to watch. :)
@@SideTripLife thanks and yes, I remember the first time I came to KC and even though I have lived in Thailand for the past 25 yrs, and visited almost everywhere in Thailand I still find KC to be my favorite.

Love your vids , most vloggers don’t share hotel prices ect . Your videos share a lot of knowledge for the budget travelers . Big thanks my friend 🙏
the longer your video the better, thanks for taking the time and effort.
Awesome video.
Very helpful, heading there myself next month. Can’t wait
Please stop worrying about the length of your videos. They are fantastic and I could watch them for hours. And actually have done
Haha yep yesterday I must’ve watched over a dozen for about 5 or 6 hours. Love them. Relaxing.😊
Koh Chang is great,15 Palms is the place for me so lovely and chilled for the sun set.
Time to re-watch some of your previous content again. Flights booked for May ✔️. Need to figure out which different I'm heading when I land at BKK.
BTW, the videos are not boring/too much info, the flow is good. Your attention to detail is great. Just the RIGHT amount of info for all who needs 👍.
Thanks and have a great trip Matt. STL
Never boring . Just perfect being nice & low key. Love the laid back vibe. Thanks again from very dry (TX). The topper was the Fire Dancers.
I enjoy your videos so much it hurts! These places are amazing, a great escape to watch. Looking forward to getting there soon.
Ouch er, Thanks! Hope you can get back soon Dave, cheers! STL
Another great vlog, highlight of the week watching your trips, 3 months and counting before back there, keep them coming 👍👍
Cheers Brett. 3 months will sail by, the last week is the longest and then toes in sand and brew in hand

this: 'Simple beauty of a sunset, a chair and a table have always been my cup of tea' = perfect
"Anybody still watching??" Well yes, of course! I like to see your videos cuz I can sit and relax and they are long enough to enjoy.
We’re now here on Koh Chang White Sands because of the video. Spot on. It’s fantastic!!
Who needs a pool w the sea outside your window? Old room, new room? I see absolutely no flaw in the 'old' room. Nice woman giving you a ride. No surprise there. Ppl r outstanding!
Your channel should be 100k strong IMHO!!
Excellent breakdown of all the relevant info, first class!!
Edit, never boring, great content!!

You should go stay at kai bae area. White sands is just expensive and full of families
Had to see famous White Sand Beach on 1st day of my 1st visit. Kai Bae and much more to come
Loved this video. What a gorgeous place. All those lovely bars and restaurants on the beach. And amazing fire show. Loved the ramshackle hotels!! Cathy and Kevs x
Cheers Cathy & Kevs :)
Your vids are ALWAYS great.
Chilled. Loved walking along White Sand Beach 🏖 with you tonight.
Sitting here in freezing 🥶 south end of Australia 🇦🇺 raining & grey.
I love the little map references
And how you put $$$ prices up in different currencies.

Filming your surroundings.
Tis great 👍
Never ever boring btw. Never !!😎👌🙏

Bloody hell White Sands beach I meant lol 😂
Thanks Damien, Pen's is an absolute gem, as well as Star Beach, Chang Bar, Indie Bo's and that whole 'hidden' enclave stretch.
@@SideTripLife they all looked fantastic will definitely go there loved the rooms looking onto the beach & so reasonable

Watched til the end…good content and accomodation prices.
Much better than seeing “talking heads”
Great vlog! There are more people around compared to some videos by other RUclipsrs from a few weeks to a month ago! Thanks for featuring some of the hotels, cafe and bars:)
Thanks! Weekend picks up considerably esp at White Sand Beach. But great to see more flip flops on the ground increasingly (never thought I'd say that but given the past 2 years...)

Great vid, you’re making me tearful…..best memories of there with my 4 year old son and beautiful thai wife Sunitra….got to go back one day
I went to K. Chang (Kai Bae) and neighboring K. Mak a number of years ago. Both lovely places.
Love your videos, it doesn't matter they are a bit long, it's like being back in Thailand 🇹🇭
Thanks Benjamin much appreciated :)

Going to Koh Chang in 2 days so re watching this great series for hints Thanks
Thanks, i travel with you!
Thanks for coming along

Your 'local' on Koh Chang is an absolute gem Jack, glad I stumbled upon Saeng Arun/Beach Tango and yes, super nice staff who make you feel right at home. I think the beachfront row was going for 2K but they were all taken. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Cheers, STL
@@SideTripLife thats correct in high season its 2200 but worth every single Baht😊

Not boring at all … super cool video 👍👍
Been on Koh Chang for nearly the past month but I am on the other side of the island where it is very quiet. Just been relaxing and chillin out. Thinking I might move over to White Sands next week though, we'll see. Certainly better than sitting in a hotel room in Chiang Mai for 3 months was!
Recall you were on the mend up in CM, good to hear you're back on your feet, toes in sand no less, well done, enjoy :)
@@SideTripLife Yup doing significantly better now! Toes in sand, sunburn on skin haha. Looking forward to seeing these upcoming vids of your adventure! Also, I don't at all mind longer vids from you. They are chill and enjoyable to watch. :)
