It was great meeting you both in the Hamptons! Thailand is amazingly beautiful & it looks like you are enjoying what it has to offer. Love the beaches there!
Thank you for the kind words. It's tough to stay ahead of the tourism parade so it's refreshing to find places like Khanom, Sichon and Baan Krud beaches. Happy travels!
Great video thank you am heading for my first trip with the family next month and heading g down this stretch so definitely checking your recommendations
Wow, we are definitely cut from the same cloth ;-). We just got back to Thailand last week and will be here until May or June. Please let us know when you'll be here next and hopefully we can get together and maybe share an adventure. Love your channel!
Not sure if you received my other message or not. My thought was to sent you my phone number and email through the post office if you are still living in the same condo that you had told me you were staying at.
LOLSTER, BEACHES are priced for foregners so the HOUSE and land prices are pretty steep compared to 5-10 inland in a small town with amenities, this North East coast get battered with the weather in the GULF which can whip up a storm quickly so be careful out there, suggest other places like Chumpon, even Krabbi is cheaper. (Outside of Phuket, HuaHin, ChangMai, Bangkok and Pattaya)
It's always more expensive at a beach, that's not a foreigner thing. But yes, the surf can get rough at times during the off season. Still, we think it's a great area.
Coming from Bangkok it looks like the quickest way to get to Sirarun Resort from Bangkok would be to drive right? Was that the most "tourist free" beach in that area?
We drove but I think there might be a train that stops in the area too. This whole area has not been hit by mass tourism so the beaches are all pretty nice. It's more a matter of finding the right accommodations for you. We like Sirarun and also the resort nearby Sunshine Paradise that was in the first video of this road trip series. Best of luck and have a great trip!
@@unconventionaljourney That's just what I found online while I watched your video. I tried it for this month and in December, which is the time that I will be down in that area...they may be raising their prices ???? I would love to stay there but at those prices and traveling for months, it isn't going to happen for me.....thanks for the vid though.
@@makiavelli6101 Check out the Sunshine Paradise Resort just a little north. See the first video in our southern road trip series as we stayed there and it was a bit cheaper. Good luck!
Our channel is pretty small so I don't think we'll move the needle but I think about it every time we showcase some of the lesser known areas of Thailand.
We also did a video in Khao Lak. The beaches are probably a bit better because it's the Andaman vs. the Gulf but its very close. The real difference is your preference for a sunrise or a sunset beach. I know, tough choice...
Where is the nearest hospital ? You will find that is a main reason almost NO expats lives there....Usually you are a little older when coming here to live. That is a serious issue. You will find out the first time something is really wrong and you sit in the car one hour driving to the nearest medical post that is not even a fully equiped hospital. There are not many of those hospitals in Thailand and they're all in densely populated area's. The feeling when close to dying knowing you have no option but to hope you'll last another hour.....yeah that's a real partypooper. Then if you are younger and have children...Where is the nearest school and what kind of school is it ? Most good schools are not there but somehwere more populated. ETC. Nice holiday location that's it
Excellent work ❤❤❤
Thank you for the encouraging words!
It was great meeting you both in the Hamptons! Thailand is amazingly beautiful & it looks like you are enjoying what it has to offer. Love the beaches there!
Great meeting you guys too and hope to see you over here. Soon. Enjoy fall in NYC!
Hey guys great video, a guest just told me about it over a beer at Margarita Beach, your channel led him here so thank you and safe travels
You run a great place, all we did is show folks. We'll try to stop again during our escape from the Bangkok smog and heat season. Cheers!
Like the videos and exploring awesome beaches that are NOT yet tourist traps also like the soundtrack music
Thank you for the kind words. It's tough to stay ahead of the tourism parade so it's refreshing to find places like Khanom, Sichon and Baan Krud beaches. Happy travels!
Great update on your adventures...Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching. This one showcased a few great places well off the tourist trail.

@@unconventionaljourney Thank you so much! And yes we would love to meet you! We'll be in Thailand in October and Feb-March. 🙂👍
We already have travel plans for October so let's shoot for your February/March trip. @@thethailandtravellers
@@BobSchiff Perfect! Enjoy your travel in October😊
Hoping that all is going well with you two. We met briefly on the flight here from Dubai last month and had a chat about The Bronx. George
Good to hear from you and I hope all is well. Not sure how we can connect without plastering our contact info on YT...
If you are still in the condo that you told me about on the flight, then I could send you a message through the post office with my number and email.
Just let me know. If not, perhaps we’ll bump into each other somewhere along the way.

Nice area here in sichon and khanom. Good for retirees who wanna have slow life
Yes, we were very impressed with the lifestyle on offer in the area. Perfect beach retirement place.
Would love to see you anytime
I feel like Darth Vader when he found the rebels! THATS IT!!!

Was a hidden gem, now a magnet for expat refugees from Samui and other places ruined by developers and tourist
Hmm, nice places. A buck twenty a night for the Sirarun Resort is over priced but sure is nice.
That villa was about twice what you quoted and in our experience in Thailand it was worth every baht.

Nice. But thousands of these videos attract tens of thousands more people.
Our channel is pretty small so I don't think we'll move the needle but I think about it every time we showcase some of the lesser known areas of Thailand.
Not cheap, not for everybody....check nicer beaches Khao Lak; same high prices
We also did a video in Khao Lak. The beaches are probably a bit better because it's the Andaman vs. the Gulf but its very close. The real difference is your preference for a sunrise or a sunset beach. I know, tough choice...
Looks like a touristtrap to me. You think you gong naive. ?
Khanom and Sichon are great places for mature expats away from the tourist trail. That was the point of this video.
Where is the nearest hospital ? You will find that is a main reason almost NO expats lives there....Usually you are a little older when coming here to live. That is a serious issue. You will find out the first time something is really wrong and you sit in the car one hour driving to the nearest medical post that is not even a fully equiped hospital.
