    Hiya. STL.
    Wow. What an intro. *Congratulations 46K*
    Breakfast looked so good. Those pink curtains are wild. Lol. The Barbie song comes to mind. 🤣That was a long drive. Love his name, Mr. Moon.
    Great hike. True about pricing. Heard a few people complaining about that. But when you put it that way. So true. Sharing your thoughts and feelings is not ranting.
    Great footage and views. Spectacular. Wow. The viewer would agree. Great hike.
    Going down was sketchy. Gosh. Turned my stomach. Lol.
    Hard to leave their homes, but safer. Loved the footage. Nice to see you hiking. And great to see you having a good time. The sound of the ladies laughing. So funny.
    Always informative. Your food looked good. Great video. Have a great week. Can not wait for the next one

      Thx Nicky! But again unfortunately only about 3K of my 40K-ish mainly Thailand Beach subscribers are watching this series. Ah well, they're missing out but at least we're having fun lol. Btw, I see you're doing daily vids at 7:45 PM GMT, bet Buddy's luvvin it! Cheers STL

    Per the Dual Pricing, I always look at the added freedom you get in most Asian countries as part of the appeal. Compared to the endless rules & restrictions in countries like Canada, England & Switzerland, it makes me realize & appreciate the freedom & being responsible for ones self instead of the endless Nanny State. Your videos should make it on to a TV Series they are that well done.

    Evening, yet another wonderful video. Concerning the dual pricing and safety concerns, thanks for bringing these issues up and creating a place for discussion. As far as dual pricing is concerned - those who are complaining (in my opinion) are those who can more than afford it. Most travellers from the West, even those on a tight budget, have way more disposable income to play with than most if not all locals. Most of us choose to travel thru Asia not only for the culture and beauty but because of the low costs involved, especially with regards to food and accommodation so the added few dollars per day in additional charges for activities are actually a minimal addition to the overall cost of your adventure, in other words just deal with it. Concerning the safety aspect - I believe that it is time people started to take more responsibility for themselves, stop depending on someone else to ensure things are safe for you - use common sense and take precautions and you should be fine, if at all worries just ensure you have a good travel insurance policy and get on with enjoying your holiday. 😉😉😊😊😁😁

    Really enjoyable! I lived in Phuket in the 90's and went to Sumatra several times, and climbed Sinabung and Sibayak. In Bukit Lawang I remember "inner tube rafting" down the river and back by bus! Seems to be all the same- except the Sinabung eruptions.

    Fantastic video and thrilling journey to the top of the volcanic mountain. Have watched all your videos of Sumatra series, all are wonderful. After watching your videos got inspired to visit Sumatra island. We have planned to visit Lake Toba, Berastagi and Bukit Lawang this month end. The ph no. of the driver (Moon) does not exist now. Can you please suggest me any other number. Thank you.

    Not ranting STL. I agree entirely with your sentiments regarding complaints by foreigners who want everything cheap but also want the same standards as back home. They should stay home and leave these places to us. Also thank god you didn’t fall into the caldera, SIDE TRIP DEATH is not a good channel name.

    • @SideTripLife
      @SideTripLife  6 месяцев назад

      if I had a scooter I would've taken it but pls WEAR A HELMET. The road to the parking lot was fine. After walking about 10 mins from the parking lot to the trail head noticed a couple scooters before the trail head where you sign in. Perhaps the staff's bikes. Cheers

    With the number of Bangkok plates on BMW, Mercs and Landcruisers that I see in national parks, they are probably earning as much as the rest of us. The poor and rural Thai people can't afford holidays.

    • @SideTripLife
      @SideTripLife  Год назад

      So "Let them eat cake"? Edit to add: have seen some amazing deflections by expats to justify whinging over paying a couple bucks extra but this one is 'rich' lol. There's plenty of reg families at Ntnl parks and if our paltry subsidy allows any poorer local kid or family access to their own Ntnl Parks, great.

  • @grahamfraser5938
    @grahamfraser5938 Год назад +1

    You are absolutely correct about the people who complain about the dual pricing. We get paid more in a day than most Thai people do in a month. Also the minor additional risks only serve to add to the adventure and the realism of the place. We are so used to being wrapped up in cotton wool and not taking responsibility for our own actions. In Australia we would tell those people to eat a bag of cement and harden the F Up. Learn to live naturally and enjoy what life has to offer.
