This is our morning ritual, my wife Linda asks, "Any Side Trip Life today?" When I respond "yes" Linda says Yay! Great! Let's watch! You're making people happy around the world my friend.
Those were some cool bars, never seen hipster ones like that yet. I'll definitely have to make that part of my next Thailand adventure next time I'm there! Thank You
Hey STL. First one of your always excellent videos I've watched while actually being in Thailand 🇹🇭 . Huge thank you for sustaining us until such a time as we could get back. Please keep them coming🤞
@@SideTripLife Thanks STL. Never again will things be taken for granted. I've yet to view your latest video so it's something to look forward to once we're settled in. Thanks again Sir👍
Hi Ceejay, thanks for watching and for your query. Will copy n paste my answer below from an earlier response, hope that's ok. --------------- Actually it's a phone, this one: ruclips.net/video/oy9o06DrQ5o/видео.html (the reviewer Ben is XDA's lead writer/researcher so he knows his stuff) Unfortunately it's not avail in the States and this model didn't ship to Thailand either. I got mine here from a guy who imports phones (last one too) and paid 23,000 Baht as it had been opened/slightly used for demo purposes. Should add, Google apps all work fine as does FB etc and any app from playstore. What I love most about the X70 Pro+ phone for video, is it's phenomenal in low light, plus it has a built-in gimbal on the ultrawide (both perfect for YT). They've just launched the newer X80 Pro - BUT, they moved the built-in gimbal from the wideangle, to the portrait lens (they're pushing cinematic filming via the portrait lens). I much prefer the gimbal supporting the wideangle. I used their previous gimbal phone X50 Pro for 3 years so hopefully I'm good for another 3 with this one (barring dropping and smashing it multiple times like my old one lol - still going btw and now my back-up;) STL
Hi Cassy. I recall on a previous vid you commented that you met your husband on Samui in 1994. So, would be perfect to get back for a 2024 / 30th anniversary. Either way, very best to you both. STL
Hadn't considered staying in that area actually. Just had the one night walkabout that I showed in the vid. But nearby, I did look at a few Chinatown budget stays here: ruclips.net/video/YqDYbA8W2-M/видео.html Also since the central riverside is nearby here's a few more: ruclips.net/video/fu2xLTogwXs/видео.html And some places along the river: ruclips.net/video/ayFpqRB3DZ4/видео.html Have a great trip!
Awesome video - loved seeing all those little bars - and all so crowded. I guess things are busy there now - can't wait to get back to Asia later this year. We will sing karaoke if we ever catch up in Bangkok (or anywhere) 😁
The night vibes seem to be coming back , albeit mostly locals ..? - some cool tunes and plenty to see , do and eat 👋👌🙏👍🍻 - I really do like Chinatown - Thanks my friend

Nice vlog well done I just returned back to Australia after 6 weeks in Thailand can’t wait to go again,been going since 2000.had a beer in Nana Plaza 150 baht small Singha? They are kidding,I paid 65 in Pattaya,and a few bars in Hua Hin 75. Total rip off,just like Phuket. Take care
Thx maccastime. For a small beer 150 Baht/$5 is getting out of order (despite the insane rents I hear they pay). Not a big Nana goer but have seen happy hour signs of 60 baht on the side sois, same in Phuket and Samui. But as you say, prices are on the rise all over. STL

Those are some cool bars! I don't really go to bars because they're usually so boring but these look interesting. Looking forward to seeing your Pattaya video. I'm coming to Thailand for a year and I'm trying to work out where to base myself for the first month or 2 Bangkok or Pattaya? Do you have any suggestions?
Perhaps stay a few days in each first? As you have a year you have lots of time, so no need to tie oneself to any place at least early on. Would also travel South, North. NE, Islands.... Enjoy! STL
@@SideTripLife Yeah I'll be moving around a good amount throughout the year. I'll be jumping in and out of Vietnam a few times too. Thanks for the tips 👍
I'm confused 🤪 you left koh samui !!! Omg I would love to stay there a long time 😍 been many times before but to swap that for nana or Pattaya wow awful beach but no one's going there for the beach I suppose
I've gotten a bit of stick about my current series lol! LOVE Samui but actually I live in Bangkok so am home for a bit. Only been to Pattaya twice in 10 years (once for a bike show). Just wanted to see how it's looking in Pattaya after reopening, busy or still quiet etc. Also my Nana movie is really about the 'other' actual Soi Nana, which is far away from the notorious one near Chinatown. Have a look, it's a very cool area, many chill prohibition style places in original old historic buildings. Cheers! STL

So sorry if my message came across as criticism. I love how you do your videos, they are so easy to watch and your always a pleasure to listen to. You seem a very kind and gentle soul and have an amazing ability to make videos perfectly. Would love to know why you decided against living on koh samui for a while why it is more affordable. Will put some money in your tip jar soon. Wouldn't it be good if everyone who liked your videos just gave £1 - thank you for your videos
Hi STL. I am hoping you do a trip to Patong or near soon. I would love some guidance on the type of beach restaurants you always find. I’ll be there in November and would also love some info on riding the bus system there as well. Love your work. Martin from Australia
Hi Martin. Will likely be going back to Phuket before then so stay tuned. Not much of a bus system in Phuket unfortunately (pricey tuk tuks abound) but will try to suss out better options and prices for getting around too. For example, I hear Phuket Smart Bus is back in operation, so 100 baht/$3/AUD$4 to any beach, or 3 day pass 500 baht (also weekly/monthly). Meanwhile, thanks for watching and enjoy your upcoming trip! STL
Mmmm, I think we are little to old and uncool for those bars. It seems it's all go in Bangkok, we are looking at a whirlwind SE Asian tour in November.
Naaaa, imma tres uncool older youngster and had no prob (well, except for the door slam at the TOT bar lol;) Looking fwd to seeing your SE Asia tour on your excellent 'For Riel' Cambodia channel upcoming! STL
Isnt it amazing, you put Nana in the video title and everyone thinks you are on a perv. Or at least what the view numbers show. You'll have to try and work in Cowboy for the next video. 55555

Nope Tony, not spending $1200 and besides no iPhone can film in the dark like that, nor film as stable without a gimbal.

Hi Tony, great tip, LOVE Lazada! But unfortunately most are advertising X70 Pro, not plus/+ (= no builtin gimbal, also lesser camera lens vs X70 Pro+ ): Can see side by side specs on gsmarena -search Vivo X70 Pro+ then click compare and add X70 Pro, or iphone 13, etc etc. The few on Lazada that offer 'legit' X70 Pro+ are wanting 36K/$1000 and as these are now prev models, not sure they're even avail from overseas anymore (after selected X70 Pro+ on Lazada most say 'out of stock' ) The X80 is now avail in Thailand but it's pricey and again lacks the gimbal and superior lens of X70 Pro+. Just a heads-up should anyone jump on buying one.Anyways Tony, your Nikon Z6 is a fantastic camera. STL
