Finally, tour Khanom Town and re-vist affable Miki, this time at his excellent Dusty Gecko Saloon & Deli. Hope you enjoy and take care all. STL

You're making me fall in love with Khanom. Great episode!
The whole place looks lovely.
The Serpent is a good series. I had read that the woman ran a small hotel somewhere in Thailand but didn’t expect her to pop-up here. Cool!
Beautiful sun rise shown. Scenaries are fantastic. Video quality simply super.
you met the real Nadine! The Serpent really had me at the edge of my seat watching it. I’m amazed by Nadine’s courage and bravery.
She really is amazing, obviously has mettle and at the same time is quite a humble and gracious person, very nice too.
All the years we stayed in Samui (which is stunning btw) and literally within eyesight is the treasure that is Khanom. These videos have truly been eye opening for us.
Great tour of Khanom and the surrounding area! Very nice! Cheers!!
Wow, the real Nadine. She is one very brave lady. You are making me fall in love with the Khanom area it's now on the bucket list, thanks for showing us around.
Amazing video. Opened my eyes to a new part of Thailand.
I watched it all... great content. Just wanted to let you know ... that out of all the youtubers ... I think you are the most humble and kind. I see it in all of your videos... the respect you show to all of the locals.
Oh wow, I watched Serpent on BBC iplayer here in Malaysia & was on the edge of my SEAT entranced! Unbelievable true story. I still have a soft spot for The Beach movie because of the soundtrack & this is the 1st major production afaik since then. When I reached the end credits of the series I saw that Nadine was still in Thailand & I thought how nice it would be to visit this amazing woman. Thanks for the always great content.
Thx Penang TV. Nadine really is amazing. Can always drop her a line on FB: facebook.com/BambooKhanom/
Like your video. So much too see when come back Thailand.
Another great video about Khanom! thanks a lot and see you soon!
Voila! Merci beaucoup, YOU are the REAL star (of both shows :)
its always a pleasure to see my village on your videos........❤
The pleasure is mutual :)
We watched it all and wanted more. We just discovered your videos a few months ago and LOVE them. Keep it up!
Thanks for another great video.
Khanom and its people are great. Always in my mind, I think this might be one of the places to retire to. Thank you for posting.
Loved the whole Video* Thanks again* (TX)
Lol I guess I am one of the few. I watched to the end because I enjoy your vids. Thankyou
Watched to the end as always, love your content, keep up the good work. Oh by the way we are so jealous, Khanom looks stunning 😍🏖️
Nice video, I stayed on Koh Samui for 3 years and never went to this area , just got on and off the ferry
to surithani
It’s amazin that this area is so unknown and excellent.
Thanks
When iam back there I will visit here for sure.
Watched all, I love this video...
Always watch your vid to the end. Don't care how long it's gonna be it's the content that counts. Love how you promote local stalls on the road. Please do more of this instead of pointing out 7-11 and mega chain stores.
For sure! Always support mom n pop shops n small vendors. Just wanted to also show viewers what the town has in way of reg shops too.
Watched right till the end ...thanks for churning them out...still gotta say too far and wide ...but hey ,I'll still take them ....love from India
I always see your videos to the end! I dont know why, but I think there is some kind of soft funny coolness in your videos, plus that they are informative and show nice places! For that I want 5000 bath!!
Can't wait to visit Khanom - looks great. Watched the video to the end😄😄😄
Another great video I will definitely spend some time here next time in Thailand. Please keep the videos coming.
Always watch it all and end up wanting more. Thanks for another great video, Dusty Geko looks like a cool spot. Cheers see ya soon 🍻
We ALWAYS watch all of your videos through to the end! We LOVE the length and detail you include. Thanks for putting such great content out there! 💕 🇺🇸
Thank you so much!
Another great tour! Thanks for posting!
Nice watch as always - you are in a perfect spot - just the right distance from main town , looks like it has everything - ah man - someone’s gotta do it - more please - Thanks STL 😄👌🇦🇺👍🙏🍻
I always watch every second of every video of yours that I see.... They are wonderful, Informative and a pleasure to watch.... I have travelled a lot.... (35 countries/4 continents) but Asia is one that I never made it to.....(did Hong Kong/Macau, but only for work) Your videos take me there, so thank you for that.... ps: volume was better... :-))))
Great Video ! Thanks
Definitely saw till the end. Thx for making it! I will go to Bamboo Inn!
Khanom is Heaven on Earth. I miss it so much!
Gets better and better with each video you have done on Khanom. Thanks so much much for sharing even though i noticed in the comments section that you had one or two people wish you had not done any videos on Khanom. 😁👍❤️
Thank you kindly once again FM. Fortunately for those who want to keep lovely Khanom a 'secret', my vids don't get many views (too much boring 'info', few bikinis, no drama and no selfie blah blah for much of the vid etc lol;) BUT since I started this series, it appears several other vloggers now have Khanom in their sights and this may really put it on the map (sigh....) If so I will feel doubly guilty....
Cheers for the great vid :)
Wow you found Nadine 😁 ,what a scoop ,and what a brave lady - the serpent ( the series ) is fast obtaining an almost cult like following here in Thailand amongst expats
Nadine is extraordinary! Such courage and yet so humble too. It was a genuine pleasure to meet her.
Just watching the Serpent now on Netflicks in Australia, so happy to hear that Nadine is still alive. Read book many, many years ago. Love where you are now - beautiful part of Thailand, wonder how busy it would normally bs?
Nadine really is amazing and despite the real life movie events took place 45 years ago she still looks young! Khanom is generally very quiet but can fill up on long holiday weekends as was the case here.
Great video again. You make a wicked sandwich--you'll make some lass a dandy husband. Hope you do stay there and create more vids of nearby stuff.
much better without preview
Enjoyed this to the end thank you🤘🏻
Thx Lizzy, appreciated :)
Nice tip with the ATM. 👍
I want to go there next ❤️👍
As usual, good stuff.
I appreciate that, thanks :) STL
Hello from Finland! I recommend you to taste oriGINal Lonkero! The real atmosphere shines through your videos! Love it! Get closest to real Thailand from my coutch!
KITOS :)))
of course see it all, chers
Watched it all :)
Still there, you must love it, and looks like you have the sandwich sorted out, next month we are going to check out a place - memories beach bar Khao lak, stay safe, like the riding glasses.and I did watch it all, all your vid's
Thanks BBRIT, yep, love me a good sarnie and after being on the road a while it's nice to make something fresh. I'm actually on Koh Phangan now but will return to Khanom soonish. Checked out photos of Memories in Khao Lak, charming bar with a sand floor, on a long, gorgeous, quiet beach, ticks all my boxes! Will watch your channel for updates and if anyone would also like to follow, click or search Bad Badger Retired In Thailand channel :)
@@SideTripLife nice island lived on the next island koh tao for 5 years before moving to phangnga, cant beat a good sandwich, and getting great bread here is awesome, all thai bread is sweet as im sure you know, stay safe
Glad to see you eating Bulgaria yoghurt! It’s the best in Thailand
Another great video, keep them coming, are you going down to Nathan Si Thammarat?
Finland! Kiitos for the video
KITOS for watching! :)
Like to watch your vid please keep upload often enjoy verymuch your vid make me happy thank .
Always watch all with yr vids
Seems like more life there than Bkk ?………..keep em coming mate. RobNoi
Thanks RobNoi (as always:). Quieter in Khanom now after 3rd wave settled in but as lovely as ever
I spent a long time with Nadine when I was in Khanom to visit. She is a Thailand national treasure. If you guys are planning to travel by land to Koh Samui make sure you make a stop in Khanom at the Bamboo resort at least a night or two before you get there. It is really worth it. The area is unspoiled (unlike Koh Samui) and Nadine is an extraordinary host. And yes, if you watch the mini-series The Serpent you will gauge better how extraordinary Nadine really is and what she did.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Nadine absolutely is a treasure and I hope more drop in to visit her at Bamboo Resort. We stay in touch (just yesterday in fact) and I too will be back, hopefully soon. To anyone looking in, Mademoiselle Nadine can be found here: facebook.com/BambooKhanom/
How did you miss Gary and Donna at CC Bar, they are there all the time! So funny seeing my hood “advertised!” Btw, if you kept going up that dirt track you turned around on it would just take you to The Blue Terrace in Nai Phrao, better to take the main road. Check out Hin Lat Waterfall next time, if you do the loop, you’ll go by our land on the return! Join the Good People of Khanom group on FB if you want to keep up with the goings-on around there.
I figured that track might end up around the Blue Terrace. Lovely place, just not a fan of de-foresting the hillside it sits on (ironically, now looks like an erosion danger to the place itself...) Will deffo check out Hin Lat and more too, thanks for the tip! Will also pop back to CC's soon and in future, swing by your glamping biz when opened.
Thx also for the FB Group tip, tried joining but after 48 hrs no approval - was only going to say a hearty thanks to the wonderful community of Khanom (no self-promotions). But ah well. LOVE Khanom, both the locals and local expats remain some of the nicest I've come across.
I watched the Serpent. It's actually not a movie but a mini-series about a French serial killer who has an Indian mother and a Viet father...based on a true story. It was a good watch.
He was jailed in an Indian high security prison and managed to escape by drugging the prison guards .. I remember the news bulletin being put out ' not to open doors ' and it was scary ! .. he finally got caught in Goa in O coquiero restraunt
I watch all your videos till the end 😊🍺🇮🇳
Cheers Gumeet :)
As usual, another great episode and series. Right up to your usual standards. Out of all the other Thailand RUclipsrs I watch, you are by far the best. Being that I have gone on side trips like these in Thailand, I have two questions. 1) You are traveling around on a motorbike, do you have a small suitcase that you use to travel on the bike or do you use a backpack? I have never rented a motorbike or car when on these side trips, but would consider doing so next time if alone instead of with someone as I have done in the past. 2) What app do you use to navigate around? Google maps? Or something else? Keep up the good work and thanks. John. Phoenix, Arizona (by way of NY)
TY John in Phoenix by way of NY! Small carry on suitcase + small backpack, both fit on a bike (suitcase squeezed in space between seat & steering column). Google maps + intuition (both somewhat fallible but always enjoy the journey;)
@@SideTripLife Thanks for the reply. When I based myself out of Pattaya, I brought one huge suitcase. While there, I bought a smaller suitcase online specifically for side trips. I had the suitcase delivered to my friends restaurant located on 2nd road between Soi 7 and Soi 8. I had to get my new suitcase up to my condo located in Cozy Beach. I had the restaurant workers there at Domicile (the name of the restaurant) strap the suitcase to my back using rope tied around my waist and tied to the back of the seat. lol Even the locals were amused at the sight of me as I drove down beach road and on up to Cozy Beach. I have a great picture of me on the bike with the suitcase strapped to me before I took off from Domicile. lol Cheers.
Half an hour video. I love it. I'll give you the thumbs up in advance
Now to enjoy the video
One thing: Add subtitles please. For a non English speaker, it's not always easy to understand what's being said.
Tnx
Thanks rolandet. Ahhh subtitles - YT needs 24-48 hrs to process the automated CC titles so pls check back.
@@SideTripLife WHAAAAAT? want me to wait days before watching? 😄😄😄
Fresh sour dough bread... unbeateble!!!
Every time I watch one of your videos, I think, "that's my kind of place." This time I think you have nailed it with Khanom, so should I stop watching or get tempted with the next incredible location? Grrr! Wish YT would stop ruining the videos with SO MANY ad interruptions. Might need to start boycotting companies that advertise on YT to get them to stop it. The ad frequency is becoming ridiculous.
I just click 'yes' and let YT do it's thing. Perhaps try that YT premium, few bucks but no ads
AC/DC and the Stones play an outdoor concert in Toronto maybe 10 or so years ago
Question is it possible to drive the 4 wheel atv's on the road as if you're using a scooter or is it not allowed? Would much prefer the 4 wheel for added stability since I've never driven a 2 wheel before
ATV's are not 'legal' to drive on the road but many do and the local boys in brown turn a blind eye. Some even manage to register and plate as a 'farm' vehicle but no idea how they record a corresponding green/blue book (use ATV engine/chassis # I suppose?). Also over 50cc likely need a licence. Less than 50cc or electric equivalent no need though. Insurance is another issue. It's all good using it to nip round to the market etc, until it isn't (ie accident, injusring someone etc etc). More questions than answers I'm afraid. STL
There are 4 7-11's there. I know the owner of the one you visited on 17:12. She is my neighbor. Khanom is my favorite place on Earth.
Can you tell us the best tour(small group or private boat) to see pink dolphins. Thanks
Not certain Francis but Nadine may know: facebook.com/BambooKhanom/
@@SideTripLife thanks! is Nadine french?
Oui
Promoting tourist, thanks a lot.
My wee vids are a drop in the ocean compared to the Thai Govt promoting the area as a key part of the ill named 'Thailand Riviera' mega project...
Sooo, you moving there?
When Interpol finally got involved he and his girlfriend came to Teloch Bahan, Penang, and hung out (Hid out) at Mr. Lim's fisherman house with me. Every day I said I have to go into Penang to see if my wire transfer from the states came in. He said "I'll go with you" and every day for a week we would go to the bank. He announced that they were heading south to Singapore and left, three hours before a swarm of plainclothes cops showing up looking for him. That's when I found out who and what he was. I was so lucky the bank held onto my money for so long. I went back to Bangkok, and saw him on Patpong. He lied about where they were going. to left a false trail for the cops. I am lucky to be alive and writing this.
@Mike Nykoruk Wow! Such a close call you had! As you say, if not for the old lengthy bank transfers... Thanks for sharing this Mike. You may want to drop a line to Nadine and share also, bet she would be interested. Can reach her here: facebook.com/BambooKhanom/
Is Saulius Anusas from Lithuania?
Did you say 'the do-hickey on the right', I haven't heard do-hickey (sic) used since my father was alive years ago==You must be Canadian
lol. Yep, I'm a Canuck eh;) But quoting the Cambridge Dictionary:
doo·hick·ey
a small object or gadget, especially one whose name the speaker does not know or cannot recall.
"a garage filled with electronic parts and other valuable doohickeys"
❤️
are there are girls in there?
The concert was called SARSstock. It was for the victims of SARS.
It’s koh samet
Koh Samet is beautiful too but this is Khanom Beach
Khanom turned into tourist area, not quiet place with beautiful beach as long time ago.
Unfortunately no place remains the same as years ago, despite how much we may wish it to. But fortunately Khanom is still a gem. The reality is that the Thai Govt is seeking to promote the entire coastal area further (ie: new coastal rd to Sichon etc, etc).
--------
Thai Govt/PRD News QUOTE:
The “Riviera Thailand” project, which covers the west coast from Phetchaburi to Songkhla, highlights the beauty and luxury of the tourist attractions in the areas. The campaign is in line with the government policy of using tourism to distribute income to the locals and tackle social inequality.
-------
Actually, just by visiting now, or even years ago, one is/was in effect prompting further development (knowingly or not).
The alternative is, designate the entire area a Ntnl park with no development permitted (but then have to find livelihoods for all the families who rely on visitors). Or, institute a no further development and no migrants +no visitors policy (or limit visitor #s & charge $$$$ per day ala Bhutan). Which should we choose?
It's fine and of course natural to say "It was so much nicer when I visited back when..." but what might one propose as a realistic solution?
As much as I too wish it could remain as is, or go back to how it was, going forward hopefully Khanom retains it's slow pace, idyllic seaside charm and wonderful sense of community.
Watched all but you spent a bit too much time showing house development and that german women.
Ahhhhhh Eddie.... lol. Personally like looking at property, especially construction etc and I also really like the French lady, she's amazing! Each to their own, thanks for watching
