    Koh Samui is my favorite Island for sure in Thailand, What I love about Samui are the cool ocean waters unlike the very warm coastal mainland waters of Thailand. How safe is Thailand? I went to Koh Phangan for a visit, rented a motorbike. I was out all day. Then stopped to eat. I was horrified, my wallet was gone. No money, No credit cards. Lost on the highway somewhere. Went straight to the police station to report the lose, then my phone rang. Someone found my wallet on the road. Phoned my home in the USA, got my Thailand number. Meet up. Not a dime was missing. I bought them and their family dinner. Trip was saved. Great video Paddy.

      When I was in Thailand I went to a restaurant. We sat at a table and a better one became avalible so we were moved over. Had food and drinks then went to pay, no wallet. Panic set in when one of the waiters came over with the wallet, nothing missing. So lucky and grateful. :) A very good tip for a great person and place!

    I'm Thai. All Thai people welcome tourists of all nationalities and religions, no matter who you are, where you come from, if you come to travel with quality, respect Thai people, respect Thailand. Thai people will help each other to maintain the good trust of tourists. Help each other to provide good service to tourists in a friendly manner. Smile, cheerful, peaceful, safe, clean, equal for all classes. Thailand also has many interesting places to explore. Suitable for tourists of all levels of your hopes. We can definitely welcome everyone with the best willingness for sure. But we can definitely welcome everyone with the best thi-survice. Thank you for visiting Thailand.

    Great list, but it is unfortunate that Koh Similan was closed when you went out there. When I went to Thailand, the islands of Koh Similan and Koh Surin in the Andaman Sea were absolutely paradise on earth. A few of the best days of my life was when I was there.

  • @brothersman524
    @brothersman524 2 года назад +41

    Great choices Paddy.
    Having been to Thailand 4 times, the islands I have been to are Koh Lipe twice (the first time was a day trip from Langkawi in Malaysia), Phuket, Railey (although this is really a peninsula), Koh Muk once, Koh Phi Phi on day trips and 3 nights too, Koh Samui, Koh Tao, Koh Phangan, Koh Yao Noi, Koh Lanta, Koh Kradan, Koh Hong and Koh Ngai. I'll be honest that I'm not a fan of Phuket although Similan Island is nice though but I love Krabi.
    My favourite Thai Islands are Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lipe, Koh Samui, Railey and Koh Tao
    I want to do one more visit to Thailand and go to Chiang Mai as well as Koh Chang and Koh Kood

      @brothersman524 2 года назад +7

      @@sergiomeza7525 Hi Sergio. I would start with 2 days in Bangkok for food, music, tour sites, culture etc, then 3 nights in Koh Samui (can do a day trip to Koh Tao from there) then you can either spend the 5 nights in either Phuket or Krabi (Ao Nang). Phuket has a lot of beaches, can do island trips such as Phi Phi Island and Similan Island for snorkelling as well as entertainment and shopping, and visiting tour sites like Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, Karon Viewpoint and Promthep Cape. Krabi or Ao Nang is more quieter and more relaxing but can do boat trips to Hong Islands, Phi Phi Islands, Railey, and 4-Islands tours as well as kayaking in the swamps, rockclimbing in Railey, climbing 1237 steps to the summit of Tiger Cave Temple and also visiting the Hot Springs and Emerald Pool - food and shops are plentiful and less commercialized compared to Phuket

Unfortunately, we could not be there for two long years, but when we resolve our affairs at home in the Czech Republic, we will soon move there permanently.

    If planning a trip to Thailand, don’t book too many places in advance, hopping is not a good idea unless you have a whole year. “Hopping” to different islands for just a few days, you will only see more waiting, more expensive taxis and packed ferries, not the beaches you came for!Top tip if coming to Thailand for the first time, yes book Bangkok and then have fun travelling to an island, then decide if you want to leave or see more, you can decide when you actually know! Travel is very easily arranged here (don’t use 1togoAsia) and accommodation is always available at all times of year. The weather can change and ferries don’t always run, so don’t overbook. We have seen so many holidays end in disaster when it’s all pre booked. 2 days, here, 2 days there is not a good idea!

      @@JohnKudreyko Hi John. We have endless problems rearranging travel for our guests who have pre booked online well in advance especially 12GoAsia. So many times peoples plans change when they get here.
      Use local travel agents here in Thailand or your hotel will help as we do who can explain and get you the very best service.
      You will have many more options through local knowledge, often avoid overcrowded tourist routes and you will also know if the weather has stopped the ferries!
      There is no reason to book months or weeks in advance, only the lure of these online companies to do so!
      Thailand is much easier than many think if planning to visit for the first time. Nearly everyone is following very busy tourist routes and help is on hand everywhere. You'll never be the lone tourist so just follow the crowds!

    I hope the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) collaborates with you somehow, someway for these fine tips, Paddy! It's important for us professional planners to know these information from you, "an attendee" who may be foreign to the country. Thank you so much for your videos. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

    A year well spent and a great series, well done.
    Spot on-Koh Samui No 1, back in the day I lived in the village of Lamai for 7 years.
    End of this year, early next year I plan a two month + visit to Thailand and the most part will be spent on Koh Samui.

    A very good summary of some beautiful places.
    I think the criteria must vary by time.
    It's not the Top 10 Beaches, so it has to be more than 1 day.
    The periods could be 1 week, 3 months, ... 1 year ... life & retirement.
    The small islands are picture-perfect for an instagrammable week.
    As the time period goes up, so must the size of the island,
    the population, and hence, services available.
    Samui and Phuket have the size and variety for a long stay,
    including east/west coast sunrise/sunset beaches,
    mountains, waterfalls and jungle hiking,
    as well as the intl airports, large towns, medical facilities,
    magnificent temples, festivals, shopping malls,
    diverse restaurants, expat communities (pro or con :)
    watersport activities and entertainment districts.
    The main drawbacks are too many tourists in high season,
    and high prices, partly to prey on that tourist demand ( _Eat, Prey, Love_ :)
    but enacted by monopolistic local family mafias
    (e.g. only one airline flies to Samui; only one taxi co. in Samui;
    the infamous Phuket taxi mafia, min fare 200 baht even for 1km).

    Been going to Samui for 20 years now . Have visited 4 others on your list but Samui will always be my favorite as well . If you know your way around the island you can spend as little as you want for accommodations or as much as you could spend anywhere , like at a Four Seasons which the island has . I stayed in an airbnb 2 miles to Chewang Beach ( the best beach as far as white sand , swimming and laying under a palm tree for shade ) for $ 400 a month . Theres plenty of action if you want or quiet places to go to as well . Fishermans Village in Bophut is a must to visit as well Enjoy Samui . Plus if you live in north as I do , there is ( covid depending ) a direct flight daily from Chiang Mai which you just can't beat . In 1 1/2 hours you can go from the mountains to our favorite island and be swimming in the afternoon in the Gulf of Thailand !!

    Thanks for your impressions.
    I ve been traveling Thailand and SEA for 20 years. It's depending on what you searching for. A lot of islands but also beaches on the mainland are waiting for you.
    But ... I would never do Samui on #1 ... it's changed so much in the wrong direction. Everything is about money. So most of the signs in front of stores and restaurants are written in Russian for first language. That's only okay if you're Russians. 🤷🏽
    Your Choice is a good one... but I missed Koh Bulon 😉
    Thanks for your sympathetic vids .... go on, have a good life 🤙🏽

    • @vaska1999
      @vaska1999 Год назад

      Is Russian the first of several foreign languages they offer, or the only one? It'd be a problem only if it's the second case.

    • @IngoRockADisco
      @IngoRockADisco Год назад

      ​@@vaska1999As I wrote, on many signs in front of the restaurants, the information is only in Russian. On the windows of pharmacies it is written in large letters in Russian that this is a pharmacy. I have no idea whether English is not learned at school in Russia. I was on Phuket this year and there, too, I noticed Russians in the crowd more unpleasantly than other tourists. They are loud, reckless and drink alcohol everywhere. I'm not saying that all Russians are like that, but mostly they are the ones who chatter loudly in the massage parlor where others are looking for peace and relaxation.

    Phuket ,because hand on heart has to be some of my best holidays iv'e ever had .Koh Samui for the same reason a close 2nd ,But Koh Tao for me ,even though it was on a day trip ,But it's paradise before your eyes i kid you not 🙏But if you are going from Koh Samui to spend the day there it's a journey and a half on a speed boat so make sure the weather forecast is good .Trust me .you wont want to do that journey if the weather is iffy .Thanks Paddy for reminding me over the last couple of years why i love Thailand 🙏
