Me wondering why I'm paying 5K usd per month for a one bedroom in a cold city... should just sell all my stuff and live here for a year.

Beautiful, living the dream. Unfortunate for the locals but you have struck gold visiting paradise without all the tourists. Certainly an experience never to forget. Safe travels.

A beautiful spot , sad to see it quiet , but everyday is a day closer to normal again , as always quality video 🇦🇺🙏👍🍻

What a great find and cheap as chips as well as %20 off food in the restaurant. A great place to spend a month just chilling and enjoying nature. Thank you for posting M

It still looks amazing! Visited Phangan more than 30 years ago .... there was nothing on that island then. Now it looks just like Kho Samui in the days of ´Lonely Planet´. Can´t blame anyone, though! "Times they are a changin".

I lived on phangan on and off years - although its always quiet like this in the off season , its strange to see it like this in later December. The road to haadrin was all dirt when i first went and the beach was just bungalows with a tiny crossroads behind with a few small shops. i have a feeling they have plans to change haadrin completely when tourism comes back and possibly the whole of phangan will move towards higher end tourism. its such a beautiful and special place but has become far too busy recently and the kind of people visiting has changed a lot of course , i dont think the thais have enjoyed the last 10 years of change very much but the money was good so most of the families i know have done well but yearn for the quieter days and low season each year

Just that youve written the prices in different currencies deserves a thumbs up. GReat way to go beyond what the viewer expect. Love from Sweden.

Absolutely fantastic! I can't wait! 3 more years, I will retire there, another great video! Thank you

My number One favorite island that most people do not go to when visiting Thailand. We stayed in the back of the island all the way opposite of the pier. Absolutely beautiful. Had the most fun of our lives there.

6 years ago we visited about 5 different places in Thailand. This island by far was my favorite. We stayed in the back in a small village. At 10 at night we would get banana wraps with chocolate. In the morning ride scooters all day and go shopping or head to the beach. I could spend my life their easily.

This just confirms my plan to travel more in the coming years.

I love how you tip so well - as inspired and seems fair. Man after my tipping heart! Bravo! Part of appreciation. 😁👏🏼

I agree. Being from BC myself, we definitely do have some BIG trees here, lol, cheers, be safe and stay healthy. dude.

I miss Srithanu sooo much. Oh my goodness. And Zen beach baby! Karma cafe, Ashoka, Organic Love, ecstatic dance at the pyramid on Sunday mornings, yessssss!!! Take me back!!! I wish teleportation was a thing. I will be back. The nostalgia is real. Thank you for sharing this 💗

I spent a month travelling round Thailand in 2014, a life affirming experience. I will return. Fantastic video 😎

man cant wait to go back to Ko phangan! one of my favorite places.

Great series so far........the islands look beautiful, and your work is great!

Hands down, absolutely the best video I have watched about Thailand, very informative. Thank you very much!!

Yes this is great, my favorite spot on phangan, i just saw the bungalow where I stayed last year. I hope the weather stays good for you, to see the beautiful sunset. Thanks very much for the movie, i wish you make every day movies😄😄. I can recommend you than sadet beach for a day toer, beautiful road to go there and a waterfall. Have a wonderful time. 🙏🙏

This reminds me of Samui back in the early 90s Nice 📹

Hi STL May I reccommend our favorite place on Koh Phangan. North West part of Island, Haad Salad, beautiful beach all budgets of acommodation. Great snorkeling just around the north point of the bay. Cheers

6000bath/month included electric, WiFi beach front. And 25% OFF food / drink Love it....👍

Wow!! 😍 The Last one look really nice..

I really like your videos. I am from Calgary and have been to the full moon party!. I normally stay in Lamai Samui. When you go to Samui if you like beach bungalows pop into the Sea Breeze bungalow and say Hi to the owner Piya and his Sister Honey. If you don't mind saying hi to them from "Bill from Canada". They will know who that is and they are really good Thai people who have lived on the island all of their life. Safe travels

I just come back from koh phangan..and now I really miss this island

I recently found you and greatly appreciate your style of travel. I love staying in places that are similar to what you have been finding. Great tours. I appreciate your efforts to inform.

I went to this beach in March, because of this video. 2nd best beach on the Island IMO (Behind Thong Nai Pan Yai). We stayed at another but kept scootering over there each day. Even in 2024 in peak season, right behind all the trendy vegan places and coffee shops, it was so relaxing and hardly busy.

Great tour, earned my subscription. I've always loved Koh Phangan, but haven't spent much time in that part of the island... you just gave me a new destination there. Thank you!

It's beautiful. Would love to visit there one day...

Wow... I miss Thailand. Really enjoyed this vid. Great beach and businesses

I think from these 3 koh phangan is by far the best place to stay

Thanks, I'm loving these trips down memory lane. Not sure if you went there but Mae Haad beach is one of my favourite in the world. The reef is stunning and only a few meters out. The new resort there looks spectacular but I did love the charm of the old huts.

god i want to go back to koh phangan i miss it there my vecation ended best there moonparty was great 2

So delighted to have stumbled across your channel. Thank you for this fabulous info! 😊

I am a new subscriber , i did 4 visits to Bangkok but never got a chance to stay beyond, your video made to realize wat I missed . Thank you and be safe

Absolutely love your videos. Thanks for posting. It's the closest I'll get to being in Thailand ATM. Keep up the great work.

Outstanding Beautiful Beaches

Nice memories - I spent a couple of weeks on Koh Phangan last year and loved it. (I did a series of daily life VLOGs touring there too incl walk by Pirate Bar).

Two years ago... hope these lovely, mostly family owned/operated accommodations have recovered. Sadly, many were unable to survive.

Wow 🤩 What a great place to go 🇹🇭⁉️Thailand has so many beautiful Beaches and hidden Gems 👍👍⁉️

Very nice beach looks really good there

You have to go back to seetanu bungalows, ( Belgian bar) quality beers and the food is outstanding. Plus the owner behind the bar is a top guy , Quinton

what an amazing find. even though i've been to Thailand many times before, I'd have expected the prices to have been much much higher. Staying for a month is a no brainer.

Thanks for sharing, my friend. This was a trip down memory lane for me. Happy Holidays and enjoy the new year. Ciao from Portugal. Jan.

Great video, brings back memories! Stayed at Seetanu in 2019, beautiful place and beach! Pirate Bar, the closed place at the end of the video seems "destroyed", a storm perhaps. Used to be parties there and the beach was the dancefloor. Also used be a seating area on the rocks... LOVE the whole beach!

Man i am missing Thailand Koh Tao and Phangnan are great islands.

Yuuum, I saw dat prik nam pla 😋😛 Damn I miss Thailand, Thai people, Thai music, and proper Thai cuisine.

Manitob'ian here. Found your channel, great stuff. Thanks for the walk around and info. Cheers!

Wow. Looks nice while sitting here on Vancouver Island getting rained on waiting for the snow.

Must be nice to be there right now, it would be too crazy during Full Moon party time but who knows when that will return? It's nice to see a few tourists enjoying things.

Just been to Koh Phangan for the Full Moon Party but only stayed 2 nights in Haad Rin. I didn't get to explore the rest of the island but now I see there's so much more. Amazing prices when you take the rooms for a month. I wish it was busier for them. I feel bad for all the people. So many places to stay and they're all just empty. They really really on tourism.

11:25 , nice pool and beach, so calm and beautiful !

I could live there indefinitely

Thanks for shearing...must show my wife. Probably will our next destination.

so great! better to stay on the islands now when it s not crowded! After i finished my quarantine, i will go there with my thai girlfriend:D one more week left.. great video thank you for sharing

hi, I'm a Victoria guy who has been living on these 3 islands since March, i move every month to different villa/hotel, lots of great options here. Moving back to Samui 26 Dec for at least a month and know the island very well. Touch base for drinks if you want :)

Great video.

Can't wait to get back to Thailand and Vietnam. Instead, I'm spending the winter in Victoria, British Columbia trying to hide from the Canadian winter. I'm exploring this beautiful city and making some of my own videos while I'm here. I've subscribed and look forward to more of your great vids!

Stumbled across your channel and love the videos ! And you're a fellow Canadian from BC no less. 👍

thank you for showing my favourite place in Thailand, I didn't know this part of Srithanu beach

not full of tourists? seems perfect to me. peace and quiet island life.

Still enjoying the trip mate.Keep the lady on the suitcase I think that makes a good ending to your exploring.Every time I see it burst out laughing.

YT asked how i feel 'bout this clip. Answer~~ useful and entertaining 😊

liking that bar and beach spot with flutist....... might buy it!

Cool I'll head there next weekend for the long week.

Wow, wicked spot! Im east coast Canada in japan 25 years those prices monthly are 1 day in japan.

What a great place !

Watching from Australia cant wait to get back there

I’m headed to Phukett town in a week. Down from BKK. Beautiful.

It TRULY would be my HEAVEN *FOR=SHORE*. Thanks again Dust Bowl (TX)...lol

Can’t believe it, I go there usually every year.... this is dramatic for economy and people but, it has its charm too when empty....very peaceful.... good luck Koh phangan... I had to laugh when you paid 300 for the taxi.... next time rent a bike in Thong sala 250 per day

Yet another great informative video from your self. 👍😁❤️

Thanks for sharing the vids bro ... brings me back good memories from when I was there in 2018...

Koh Phangan has Thailands biggest tree! I visited it last year.. might have been the one in your video it looked very similar

Excellent work Sir! Love your style!

😍 So beautiful! Would love to visit some day..

wow sad to see such popular places practically deserted. not sure what i would have done for a whole month with nobody around though...

Beautiful location but I think more people at the other end of the island. As you said we'll get better but not this season. Okay thanks nice tour!

Wow, that’s an incredible setting ❤️

Go to the Rock Bar on Koh Samui! Cool place to spend the evening!

ANOTHER TIP when riding speed boats: Bring a cheap poncho and/or waterproof bags for your stuff. You can buy cheap poncho at seven eleven for about $1 or 2$ I think. ( forgot)

Miss koh phangan 😥😥😥

Very cool videos. Been watching for a few months now. Hope to visit out there soon.

Wow very nice few more years

ALWAYS a great vid my friend!!! re: Haad Rin - I was told by the owners of 2 resorts, "Counsel meet to talk about cancel Full Moon Party forever. They no want big party drunk people"... Which I can appreciate. That beach is gorgeous! I stayed @ Mae Haad, just up the beach from Benajmin's. We had a word in Southern California for the 500THB bungalows @ Benjamin's : FREE! :-) Amazing deals in Phangan now, right!!???

First vid of yours I've watched and you have a new subscriber! Thanks for posting. Love that there is minimal talk although the subtitles are a little hard to read. My focus is on the Philippines, coz that is where i will retire, but 200 US for a month beachfront?? I am there!! I'm sure this is the 'rona pricing, but even double that is deal.

Word of wisdom! Put a piece of thin foam over the microphone! Use tape or whatever means to secure it! That will fix your wind noise!

So beautiful, great video 🐱💛👍

That would make going back to Bkk hard

Benjamin's Hut is a great find. $16 is what I can get for a Hainese Chicken rice plate here in San Francisco. Pretty sure that price won't stick when the rest of us can travel there. But still great to see what accommodations is there on the beach front. Can't wait to see the rest of your trip.

They are the best on Sairee Hut 😁 Stay there on March 2020 and it was awesome. Great video!

Thanks - never seen this island - it is beautiful!

i miss the island...long timenosee

Great place to get away from it all and chill for a very long time. Last time I went to Thailand the tour boat capsized, so I can relate to your caution on the boat.

Such a great feeling when you're travelling and you stumble on a cool place that's really cheap...500b a day for that place is a bargain....i could stay there for a few months, no problem.

thats beautiful . now i only need a friend lol

So beautiful 😍!

Hi you have tremendous videos well put together. Do you by any chance have a condensed list of all the condos /hotels city/village that you have recommended it would be a reall great tool for all us viewers as I am going to do a trip in your footsteps

love your positive attitude :)
