I stayed on Koh Samui for about 5 months back in 1987. It was still unspoiled in many places but it was changing fast. They were building the airport at the time. I remember riding a motorbike down the runway at full speed when there was nobody around!
@@farleymusclewhite411 it's all relative. I remember meeting another English guy there in '87 who said "I was here 10 years ago when it was still beautiful!" But most of it was still beautiful in 87 otherwise I guess he wouldn't have been there!
I just came back from Ko Samui last week, and after living in Thailand for the past ten years, this was the first I didn’t enjoy visiting the island. The “quiet streets” were packed with traffic, and the main roads were occupied by speeding van drivers trying to overtake on the wrong side of the road, making it dangerous and a nightmare to get around the island. I lost count of how many accidents I saw 😢
I feel same. Terribile Ko Samui now compare with 13 years i visited. The streets have bad smell like Langkawi 😢. Everything become so expensive and not convenient to me. After stay in Bali and Nusa Penida, I dont see these islands in Thailand are clean and beautiful anymore. So sad. Im in Ko Samui now but just wanna go after 1 day. 😢
I'm always on the look out for a new adventure. I'm thinking about taking a trip from Bangkok to Koh Samui on my 2023 Suzuki Hayabusa. I love traveling this way. J. Bond.
I randomly picked Bangrak area on agoda last June for my first visit, wasn’t very busy but a great vibe, stayed at The Shore. Went over to fishermen’s village one night and it was overpriced vapid instagramer selfie land 😂 On the other hand going up to the standing Buddha on top of the mountain at sunset was a highlight, also one of those big waterfalls by the Ferry side of the island has a 2-3 mile hike to it so not a single person was there 😊
Oh yeah it’s great to see Samui back in high season action and full of life! Thanks Chris for showing everyone around the place I’m grateful to call home.
Hey there In Kho Samui at the moment. Thanks to you my wife and I have come here from Australia to see what it offers. Into day 2 of our stay and loving Kho Samui
We’re just back from Chaweng - so busy! Samui Central was our top choice for places to eat. Probably next time we visit we’ll look at Lamai as a base. It was our first visit so you video was really helpful!
Good Find! Cannabis Kingdom in Choengmon Beach is without a. doubt the best Dispensary in Thailand. Friendly knowledgable Budtenders, top shelf & exotic flower. So comfortable to chill on the patio with a J.
Heading back to samui in april.First time back there since 2019.Lamai Beach!!!!!!!Bringing my mum and brother there for the first time!!!Keep up the good work Chris.
Great timing Chris. I’m coming to Koh Samui for a week at the start of next month. First time to Koh Samui and staying in Chaweng so it was nice to see things are getting busier
It's been changing since about 1980.When I first went there, a bungalow on the beach was the same price as a beer. You had to go to the post office to make a telephone call off the island. There was 1 bank and NO ATMs, every foreigner on the island had to go to that same bank to get money, the bank is actually still there and it looks the same. It's still fun, just different.
What a great video. I lived there 2006 to 2014. You've brought back so many good memories and it looks like the Samui of old . Happy to see people doing well again. Thanks 🙂 🙏
Chris - Chaweng Bch had long-board surfboards for rent. It was a Blast! Nice 3 foot waves a few weeks ago. Just a suggestion for other activities. Cheers Daniel
So happy for everyone in Samui.. Happy days, tourism is back.. Hope you all make bags of money, happy happy days.. Thinking of relocating to Samui from South Africa
Hi Chris, just when coming towards Nathon your voice sounds like Lou reed, the way Lou used to talk /sing over his music, even the music u played was similar....very cool
That was lovely i can tell you enjoyed driving around and editing this. Fine work! Wondering if it's possible to just hire a driver and car for the day just to hit all these great spots... .
i was in Koh samui Chewang Beach ...November 4 to 8th 2022....Loved every minute....:-) Congratulation Chris and Team for putting together this video with amazing footage ....explanation and music...Enjoyed the video so much
Enjoyed your trip around the Samui ring road it was brilliant!, I'm out of the Island and missing it already....... opening up a coffee bar at the Grand Mother Grandfather Rock when I get back so.... exciting !
Nice Job Chris! Great personality, camera work, commentary on good restaurants/markets etc. We all just finished another trip around the Sun and you give us a trip around Samui…any connection? 😉Btw, we just got back from riding a Honda wave 110i around the island. Agree 100% on the parked cars on the 4 lane road approaching the fisherman’s village turn-off. Traffic came tp a standstill 1-1/2 miles out. Tow those guys!!! 😂
I celebrated New Years 2019/2020 on Koh Samui, stayed at Centara Villa's which was amazing. Great time but no one at that moment had any idea what was waiting for us.
Fly out of Perth Western Australia on 24th july for Koh Samui, its been so long since I've been there, heading over for a health retreat, wellness centre and really looking forward to it. Great vid thanks. Fab accent
Great video, I loved it. I'll be on my way to Phuket and Samui next month. It's been five years since I had been to Thailand and I can't wait to get back!
Loved this video. Loved it. 1996 then 1997 I was last there. I was 22 then 23yrs old. Chaweng looks so different to me, so much more built up. (time waits for no man) Great memories. Cheers for the video it's made my day seeing the island again. 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
Love this! My parents stay at Hanalei Gardens every year for several months at a time. They have to go back to NZ for a few then fly back. I stayed at Boom Bay Bungalows everytime i visit (they've sold the property now).
Man just discovered your channel - loving it! Esp the delivery, you're telling a story and packing it with value. Planning to move for a year to Samui in a couple of months, so thrilled!
Nice Chris! What a difference..great to see things getting back to where they should be. Your videos are always so informative and fun to watch! I look forward to visiting Thailand someday with all your suggestions and tips in mind. Cheers brother! See you on the next one :)
Went to Samui 1st time in 1988. Was so good and uncrowded I stayed 2 months. Was in a small wooden bungalow right at Lamai beach. Most of the accommodation even at Chaewang was like that. Mainly dirt roads except for the main ring road. Lots of deserted beaches and undeveloped areas to explore. And ridiculously cheap, Have been back since but it was so much more developed & crowded since that first trip. Them were the days. 🌴🙏😊👍
Awesome video thank you so much! We’re back in Samui in March after 3 years and we’re bringing family! This gave us an amazing insight, definitely gonna go download the app 🙌 ❤
I’m a first time traveller to Thailand. Your video has given me a very good insight of how to plan a stay in Koh Samui. Thanks a lot for your efforts! 😊
Wow what a charismatic guy, great video with amazing commentary. Been to Samui 3 times travelling now bringing the kids in march to experience the fantastic people and culture.
👋🏼Hey Chris! So awesome to see Koh Samui coming back alive! Sucks that our plans have changed and won’t be out this year🥺 but hoping 2024! 🍻Cheers🍻we stayed at The Outrigger but in 2020 it was Mana Thai loved it there. ♥️🇨🇦
ARKbar is starting to “bang”. You passed by one of my favorite beach bars just outside Nathon called For Rest Bar. I drove some of the same stretches as you at about the same time as you. Totally agree about the traffic near fisherman’s Village and near Central perhaps someday Samui will implement a traffic management plan. We went to Boklee Bite in Bangrak and had a nice sandwich. Great update Chris.
Thank you for the wonderful reminder of Samui, we stayed there for a month a couple of months ago. We did the same route you took around the island. Ate at some of the same places. We stayed at the Replay in Bangrak and loved that village. Cheers from Idaho, USA!
Great job! I just walked by u today as you were walking with your family on Soi Ruam Ludee passing the Conrad. 🤔 shocking was that for me! Take care and cracking on...
Great job as always my friend! Congrats on hitting 300k soon. Still remember when was just starting. One of the best in Thailand at promoting the place for tourists or future and current expats.
Hi loving your Bloggs 😂 We are heading to Samui in April We were there in September it’s my favourite island in Thailand Keep up your great videos your enthusiasm love it 🎉
I enjoyed watching this 👌 I was on Samui (for my first time) last December for just over a week. Spent 5 nights in Lamai and really enjoyed the area. Scenery, food, the people, etc all good! 🙏
We stayed in BangRak, it’s great. Coffee cup is great for lunch, secret garden was awesome, and Tenbo is good to rent a lounger and enjoy the beach and pool! Another pricey but beautiful place is Chi beach club. I did the same drive only on a moto, no traffic with a moto! Great video
I was there for 6 weeks covering handover Honk Kong. Best Leave/break ever full moon and black moon parties. in a hammock listening to the Eagles. What a lovely bunch of people!
Love your videos. We are coming back after 3 years this month. Hope you can swing by Nigel’s for the Samui Swine Feb. 1-5. Gonna be a good time and disc golf in paradise! Another disc golf event is down in Laem Sor the week before.
I'm from Brazil and yesterday my mom telled me that has a chance to our family move to Koh Samui in this year, im already watching some videos about this beautiful place to know before i go! (if this really happen) Nice video! thx greetings from Brazil!
Hi Chris. Love your channel. We're visiting Koh Samui for the first time in a week or so and have been lapping up your wonderful information about the island. We can't wait to get there. Can you advise about eating seafood though. We love seafood but the Australian DFAT site had warned against eating any seafood in Thailand. What is your take on this please? Debbie
MAN I LOVED THAT VID THX SO MUCH REALLY GOT ME ITCHY TO GET BACK TO SAMUI - SO I AM WITH MY WIFE IN JAN TO HUNT DOWN SOMEWHERE TO HOPEFULLY LIVE SO ANY RECOMMENDATIONS ON NICE SPOTS TO FIND A VILLA TO BYE MUCH APPRECIATED. TAKE CARE MATE BEST WISHES AND CHILLS FROM MELBOURNE IN OZ DOM AND LORNA
Chris you weren't kidding about Koh Samui being a ghost town. I was on Koh Samui Jan of 2021. Went down to Chaweng during the day. WOW! It was pretty dead. I ended up spending most of my time around Bophut and Fishermans Village which was still slow but not terrible.I decided to fly over to Phuket for the month of Feb. Phuket was doing pretty good then. Hopefully I will be back this year for an extended stay this time. Looking forward to seeing how much busier things are in Koh Samui!
Great video. Thanks. Heading to Samui in October for our first trip. Staying in Bo Put. 7 days only. Wish it was more. However, I think your video's will help us short list the best of the island and we get a good taste. Enough to see us planning another trip. Definitely going to sample some of what Bangrak has on offer. 😋 Keep up the good work. 👍
at 25:16 you drive past the best beef noodle soup place on the island. dont know its name. it used to be on the other side of the road but they moved it probably because the beach eroded a bit. you can still sit at the tables on the beach. the folks who run it are super friendly and the soup is the best ive ever had!!!
Nice to see my old stumping ground samui, in particular Lamai. I must know every inch of the tour around the island which you did 😀 ps there are bottleknecks when on bike 😀
This was a really well put together video, like a tour guide, I really appreciate your effort put into this, quality video for sure. Wish more travel videos were like this. By the way I can't help noticing your voice sounds a lot like Jack Nicholson haha.
hi RWFY, just wanted to say thanks for the dental tourism content you've previously uploaded. it subconsciously put me down a rabbit hole of research that ended with me being open to medical tourism and booking some work to be done for myself and family in bangkok. it would be cool if you could eventually do a video with BIDC dental clinic. they seem to be the most highly respected dental place in thailand with some extremely skilled dentists. even the comments on your edelweiss video show comments from people who have enjoyed this clinic. :)
I went to bidc dental for a quote and they charge me 130$ canadian just for x rays i didnt need. And the price they quoted for the rest (10 veneers), and a few old amalgame change to white was almost 4000$ more than 3 other places i visited in Bangkok.
I had work done at Smile Signature Ratchayothin. I was extremely happy. I paid 8000THB for a dental crown that I was quoted $1300 in Canada. The quality of work was on par or better than in Canada

You have done it again Chris, never been to Samui but will definitely go this year thanks to you.
Please do!
I recently spent 2 months in Samui, I stayed in Bangrak. I loved seeing you film the island, it brought me back so many memories!😍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done... great music, great to see Samui coming back to life...
We’re using our Teenee in Kho Chang. Giving us so much information. Thanks 🙏
Glad it is helpful!

Also in Phuket, greedy ruines everything😂😂

After stay in Bali and Nusa Penida, I dont see these islands in Thailand are clean and beautiful anymore. So sad. Im in Ko Samui now but just wanna go after 1 day. 😢
Last time I was on Ko Samui was 2010. I thought it was busy at that time but wow, it's not the chill, slow pace island it used to be.
That was the case the last ten years …
5:33 OMG total difference!! Thank you so much for your reporting Samui atmosphere to us.
Whoever figured out the spaghetti power lines and put them in those boxes deserve a nobel prize
I'm always on the look out for a new adventure.

I actually preferred Koh Samui during 2020 😅 It was so peaceful
isnt it? The Murican dude wants his Murican Hooters(or whatever),stupid music and drunk parties 😂😂😂
Today Bangkok Airways (PG) has *23* flights to BKK from Koh Samui. All sold out.
wow, that's crazy!
I will be coming to Koh Samui for the first time in FEB. Thanks for all the recommendations, I will definitely be checking out some of those places.
Nicely done. I’ll be here briefly in a few months and you painted a good picture of what to expect. Nice music to bring it all together.
I went there last October / November, I’m in love with Samui man
thanks Chris for what you doing

Chris you weren't kidding about Koh Samui being a ghost town. I was on Koh Samui Jan of 2021. Went down to Chaweng during the day. WOW! It was pretty dead. I ended up spending most of my time around Bophut and Fishermans Village which was still slow but not terrible.I decided to fly over to Phuket for the month of Feb. Phuket was doing pretty good then. Hopefully I will be back this year for an extended stay this time. Looking forward to seeing how much busier things are in Koh Samui!
Great video. Thanks. Heading to Samui in October for our first trip. Staying in Bo Put. 7 days only. Wish it was more. However, I think your video's will help us short list the best of the island and we get a good taste. Enough to see us planning another trip. Definitely going to sample some of what Bangrak has on offer. 😋 Keep up the good work. 👍
at 25:16 you drive past the best beef noodle soup place on the island. dont know its name. it used to be on the other side of the road but they moved it probably because the beach eroded a bit. you can still sit at the tables on the beach. the folks who run it are super friendly and the soup is the best ive ever had!!!
Thanks for a great video. Will be in Samui next month. So excited!!
Woowee just got back spent 2 weeks its awesome! Need to go back already.
Nice to see my old stumping ground samui, in particular Lamai. I must know every inch of the tour around the island which you did 😀 ps there are bottleknecks when on bike 😀
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for this great video! I was on Samui some weeks ago and I just want to fly back there while watching your video.
It's like I'm getting an awesome tour and my guide is a cross between Jack Black × Jack Nicholson. Your enthusiasm is contagious and so informative!!
We were there a few months ago… can’t believe the difference from our vlogs… it’s insane. Thanks Chris🤙
It really is different, even since 1 month ago!
This was a really well put together video, like a tour guide, I really appreciate your effort put into this, quality video for sure. Wish more travel videos were like this. By the way I can't help noticing your voice sounds a lot like Jack Nicholson haha.
hi RWFY, just wanted to say thanks for the dental tourism content you've previously uploaded. it subconsciously put me down a rabbit hole of research that ended with me being open to medical tourism and booking some work to be done for myself and family in bangkok. it would be cool if you could eventually do a video with BIDC dental clinic. they seem to be the most highly respected dental place in thailand with some extremely skilled dentists. even the comments on your edelweiss video show comments from people who have enjoyed this clinic. :)
Did you find any dental work In Chiangmai?
I went to bidc dental for a quote and they charge me 130$ canadian just for x rays i didnt need. And the price they quoted for the rest (10 veneers), and a few old amalgame change to white was almost 4000$ more than 3 other places i visited in Bangkok.
Bidc very professional but almost as expensive as back home.
I had work done at Smile Signature Ratchayothin. I was extremely happy. I paid 8000THB for a dental crown that I was quoted $1300 in Canada. The quality of work was on par or better than in Canada
