So much nostalgia watching this! Had the best trip to this island in Dec 2019! We turned up with nothing booked, grabbed some wifi and found a little bungalow at Lipe beach resort. Was such a delight! Can't wait to be back! Fully agree about it meeting the expectations, just hope it's as good when I return!

That rasta bar says in Thai to rent land 2 ngan (a Thai land measurement). Then the number to call to inquire about renting.

@makeamericagreenagain8511 Год назад

" ... Thailand’s land size is often expressed in the local measurement units: Rai, Ngan, and Square Wah (sqw). Thailand does not use the Imperial or Metric Systems. Below are the basics for land conversion in the Thai land measurement system. 1 Rai = 4 Ngan (or 1600 sq. m.) 1 sq. wah = 4 sq. m. 1 acre = 2.471 rai or 43,560 sq. ft. 1 ngan = 100 wah (or 400 sq. m.) 1 hectare = 6.25 rai or 10,000 sq. m. Furthermore, land size in Thailand is usually shown in the following order: rai, ngan, sqw. So when you see a sign that says “Land for sale 1-3-20,” or something similar, the land size is 1 rai, 3 ngan, and 20 sqw. When converted into sq. m., it would become: 1600 + (3 x 400) + (20 x 4) = 2880 sq. m. ... " - from the luxury address dot com

@wilfredotorres6628 Год назад

Hi Gabriel, this is a relaxing time and a beautiful place to unwind and recharge your batteries. The bungalows look truly relaxing right on the beach. The just isn't much to do around the island aside from what you see but you could island hop over and take in what the other islands offer. This is going to be one of the biggest years for traveling yet as days go by allowing more time for people to get back to even greater normalcy with less restriction. I'm sure your plans for traveling this year are on a grand scale.

Being that Koh Phi Phi island is one of the most touristy islands in Thailand, I’m surprised it’s your favorite. You don’t strike me as the touristy and busy location type. I was just there and yes it’s beautiful with Maya Bay nearby, but wayyy too touristy! There’s even a McDonald’s and Burger King on Koh Phi Phi island 🤷‍♂️

@jorgen1032 Год назад

They have really developed the island fast. When I was there in 2006 and 2008 the only traffic was on the sea. There was nothing on the island besides bungalows and some diveshops with a few bars in between. And a sea gypsy village. There wasn’t even a pharmacy to be found, which I needed due to a bad chicken dinner 😄

@SuiGenerisAbbie Год назад

Reviewing this video and loving it. More commentary follows. But first what struck me about Koh Lipe were two things: * Koh Lipe have a Goa type vibe, yes? ** And, Koh Lipe is spelled KOH LIPE and not KO LIPE. 1) You get everything out of one place that can be gotten out of a place. 2) Seattle's American Hotel hostel is $143 / night for 4 beds with possible roomies. Crazy ... 3) Rusticity rules in much of this video. Nice lush scenery but I still would not recommend eating in ANY restaurant that is not well-patronised, and does not have good turnover. You know, just saying ... 4) Beautiful gtem coloured waters there are in Thailand, aren't there? 5) 15:36 -- It all looked much more touristy and visited, from here to about 19:10. 6) TRIP-py birdie at 18:03, should have gone into stand-up, so funny was his yammering. 7) OK so after that jungle hike at about 20:00, how do you know that the mosquitoes you encountered won't give you a mean case of DENGUE FEVER? They can, you can. 8) Ever clamour for a compass? I mean, have you ever been lost to the point of wondering: How in the Hell am I gonna get out of this joint semi-alive? Or, is your sense of direction super on point? 9) Dang, those massage parlors ... Any hookers up in those joints? (The things that much you go go, hmmmm ...) 10) At 28:10 Did I miss the caption and not see what you ate? Because I could not. And finally, BA-BOOF, them fiya-works! Fireworks made everything mo'bettah, don't they? Great way to end a video, Gabriel!

@WahkeenaSitka Год назад

Wow! This place is amazing! I've never heard of this island until now. I've always just heard of Koh Phangan and Koh Sumui. the water looks so luscious and inviting. Geez wish I was there right now! And I miss these little tourist business districts like that main strip. Haven't been to a place that looks or feels even remotely similar to that in eons. Don't even remember visiting a place that felt sort of similar to that, since I was in Guatemala in 2006.

@PauloGaetathe_original Год назад

About the Muslim majority on the island, the best way to find out is by checking if the have the sound system that broadcasts prayer at different parts of the day. All hardcore Muslim islands in Thailand have that, like Koh Lanta for example.

@GabrielTravelerVideos Год назад

I haven't seen a mosque or heard the call to prayer yet. Since it's a small island I should have heard it at some point. No mosque does suggest there aren't many serious Muslims here.

Yes there was customs on the island. They took our passports before the boat ride and gave them back to us on Ko Lipe. I didn't get around to explaining the whole process.

Gabriel, what happened to your camera? Just about everything on Koh Lipe in the recent two videos was dark and blurry? Your old prehistoric Actiontec camera seemed better than this.

@GabrielTravelerVideos Год назад

Do you have the video quality set at 1080p? It looks good to me in terms of the parts of the video that were filmed in the strong sunlight. But a lot of this video was filmed in the trees and my DJI doesn't perform well in low lighting. That's always been the case with it unfortunately.

@ytviewer172 Год назад

@@GabrielTravelerVideos Yes the video quality was set at 1080p.

@GabrielTravelerVideos Год назад

Okay. It's probably a matter of the low lighting in the forest. Out in the bright sunshine it looks a lot better. That's just the way it is with action cameras, they don't have a large enough light sensor to adequately handle low light situations.
