Love the fact that most tourists are herd animals and overpopulate certain destinations like Phuket, Pattaya, BKK, Chiang Mai. It keeps the rest of Thailand relatively safe and enjoyable

It's been a decade since I was last in Patong. Watching your walking tour let me reflect on my own travel wishes for the future. I now realize that I've moved on from the tourist / party scene but I wouldn't have know that for sure until I watched this - so Thank You for resetting my goals. Always looking forward to your videos.

Stayed in Kata Beach in late January . Would never stay in Patong again. Appreciate no noise after midnight. Plus the beach is awesome.

Great video STL. Heading there with friends April 10th from Isaan. Looking forward to it. Keep em coming brother.

Glad to see Thailand thriving but completely agree on needing a bit more of a relaxed vibe beach scene. Looking forward to the next video!

I am no doubt in the minority - but I love the chaotic edgy craziness that Patong offers and wouldn't choose anywhere else to be in Phuket,but that's just me...I get why others choose the more laid back serene,relaxed places in Phuket(everyone's different). Look hard enough and there's somewhere on this island that offers something for most...😉

Love your vids, really looking forward to the island ones!

STL. Always gets a thumbs up from me…. Living the life I want (soon I’ll be joining you buddy) thanks for the content.

Awesome to see you back , the condo vid was awesome , the one before this one.

My last trip back in November to Phuket I went with a friend and we ended up in RaiWai. It’s a great place to stay, much more chill very friendly vibe, good nightlife and beautiful beaches nearby. Renting a motorbike is essential as there’s a lot to explore around the local area! Got to meet a few long term expats who love it too!

Just from listening to you speaking one can definitely says you’re very happy with your trips😊 I don’ t know but I think you smile along the way when you describing things. Keep up this good attitude and enjoy! Thanks RU-vid’s algorithm bringing me here though.

just found your u tube on Phuket. was awesome to watch, thank you, and get some hints.Patong definetley not our scene...lol. Hubby and i thinking of going back after 35 years ( we now 71) definetly be picking the quiet top beach. thanks for hints. was just lovely to follow you around. felt like I was on holiday. well done. cheers Suzi Invercargill, New Zealand

Another STL treat. This Canadians says keep up the great work.

I’ve been to Phuket so many times, but not since the pandemic……it certainly is busy, prices are a bit more now but they are like that here in Hua Hin also…..nice video STL can’t wait to see if you get a nice condo for the month there!

Good to see you back STL. Agree that this scene probably not for me, but good that business booming for them. Look forward to more vids by the sea.

Great content and video information. Many thanks We want more :)

Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone watching this, that's there's one more transportation option from the Phuket airport, the official taxi stand. Most tourists see the those Kiosks advertising Taxi - Minibus by the doors and don't realize if they turn left there and keep walking there's an official taxi stand that works much the same as the official taxis at the Bangkok airports.

Fun Phuket tour thanks for the interesting viewpoints!

Really good informative video, you really find some great deals on hotels to stay, we are like you and always need a swimming pool, we normally stay in pretty nice 4 to 5 star but you have proven that you can get a nice place a lot cheaper, will start trying that, we liked your place you showed tonight even though a bit close to the action, also, really like your condo and the area in Bangkok. We (being my partner and I) are coming to Bangkok, Hua Hin and Ko Samui in a few weeks, will be there for Songkran, havn't travelled since Covid hit, so, really looking forward to it, although. looks very busy now. Never been to Koh Samui before, so, looking forward to that part of our journey, coming from New Zealand. Been to Phuket many times, loved Khao Lak, more laid back. Look forward to your next video

Very nice video. Hope to visit Thailand soon. Keep safe!

Enjoyed the trip, keep em coming. Going here May 8 to 22... :P

Absolutely fantastic Video. I have been to phuket many times and this is how you present a video for new people going there. excellent video. *liked and Subbed*

SOOOOOOO honored you came by the LiveStream my Canadian friend! ;-) Hope you're great. FWIW, I live on Suk 101/1 and am over in TDPk often ;-) Smoothie?

Very very informative- thanks😊

Another good vid. Your voice sounds healthier now. Doesn't look like my kind of place, but that's why you can show us, and let us decide. Look forward to next adventure.

I just started watching your channel several days ago and love it. I have been to Thailand 3 times in the past 20 years and plan on retiring there. Not sure what part though. I will have to sample a few different areas. But, thank you for all the information. One point I would like to make. You stated that the Phuket airport handles 20 million visitors a year. You may want to research that a little more. The prepandemic tourist count for 2019 was 40 million. That means that half went to Phuket. Doing the math that means that over 54,000 go to Phuket each day which translates to 2283 per hour around the clock. That seems a bit high. Still love your work. All the best to you.

Happy Weekend. STL. Always informative. The room is nice. And def front-row seats. Crazy how fast food chains even get a look in. With all the good food around. Love you always tip. Great name for a weed shop. Mr. Bright side. Love it. Good to see it buzzing. Too much for me also. Yes, ice cream is a winner. Great combo. Noise check. I hope you sleep. Good vibes. Great video. Liked. Shared. Happy Weekend.

Very enjoyable video, thanks for the look around Phuket. Not my cup of tea, as I already suspected, but you've saved me ever bothering to waste the time and money finding out for myself. aka JG in TX

Oh man so good to see you flying over Prachuap, I won't stop thanking you for inspiring one of the best travel routs in SEA.

22:09 Must add 1. Celebrate and 2. Ladie's Night by Kool and the Gang. 3. Sweet Caroline. 4. Take Me Home, Country Roads. 5. Mony, Mony.

We are back in Siem Reap from Koh Samui. It was beautiful but unsure if we will be back. Was a little too much for us and slightly annoying to get there. We went the Ferry, Bus, Fly to get back to Bangkok and it took around 7hrs. Phuket looked a bit similar but just more tourists, thanks for the great Vlog.

Great video. I love your go-with-the-flow attitude and how you look for the good deals. I am currently in Jomtien Beach. The air quality here has made sick so I was thinking of headed down for 1 month Phuket to see if I can do long term. Patong beach is fun for a holiday but not for a 1 year stay. I need a beach that is walking distance to cheap food, condo with a lap pool, gym, and fast internet. I was going to check out Kata beach first. I'll be looking forward to your review of other location you check out. Cheers, John from the USA.

Love your videos man! Keep up the good work!!!!

Nice, man. Coming down from Bangkok to Pattaya tomorrow, Sunday 12th, for a month. From Pattaya I'll swing by Phuket for a few days, and after, I'm flying out to stay in Chiang Mai.

lovely compilation

Thank you for sharing your experience. I haven’t been back since 1998. Missed out on the zero tourist experience during Covid. The scene you shared is not for me anymore, I need a more chill relaxing atmosphere with way less people. Can’t wait to visit soon, will certainly stay away during busy season.

Nice one. I am not interested in Patong area but i'm sure you'll fine many gems in other areas in Phuket. I watched your Koh Chang playlist many times over and it was like i knew the island while i was there. Looking forward to see the upcoming vids. Cheers!

Loving your Thailand videos. STL.

My visual impression: I really liked that hotel room interior. Wouldn't mind finding that in a monthly condo high-rise.

Keen to see what you find - Still love ur work Man

thank you for sharing .

Thank you keep them rolling STL ! Enjoy

Great video as usual. Good to see you back in Thailand. We had a week at The Surin last year and it was bliss. Fabulous hotel on a private beach and very quiet! Must be getting old!😂 Look forward to more from Phuket. Keep up the great work!

Well, I am currently in Patong, Phuket and I would say that is expensive place to be. Unless, you prefer outskirt places a little bit more cheaper compare to Patong. I was in different areas of Thailand. For example I stayed in Pattaya, it was fairly cheap and good accomodation at reasonable price comes bit of luxury, food cheap , transport amazingly cheap and plenty. But, Phuket another level and really expensive. Just give you little example,. I travel about 1.2 miles to beach side and cost minumum 100 baht on motor, and same distance in pattay cost 35 baht.. Food and drinks twice of pattaya.. So, yes it is expensive place to be, but I am here just for sake of seen the place, nothing special except couple places need to be seen then it's over. These are my live opinion as I am in Phuket now.. thanks all.

Love this video! My husband & I were there last year and you just have to experience Bangla Road at least once, right? We prefer a mellow scene and there were plenty in Phuket! Thanks for sharing this video 😊

'Phuket is expensive and Pattaya is cheap' is an often used comparison... In Patong, move back away from the beach and the Bangla area to Soi Nanai(plus its surrounds)and prices are very similar to Pattaya... I spend plenty of time in both cities and find zero difference in cost...

Great Vlog. I enjoyed it... Regards Australia

It's still very cheap to visit thailand and i always love to travel in the kingdom kap.🙏

Amazing video. Guess no sleep for you.😊Have a great day. Cheers.!😎

Based on your (sorta) discreet camera angles, I can see you have good taste. Keep up the good work ;-)

Thank you for a good video. How was the noise during the night at the hotel ? And, was it clean ? Thank you.

Just FYI i travelled throughout Thailand by motorbike in 1990, past Chang Rai north several days until i ran out of food ( i did eat fried grasshoppers at one stage ) then back south to Pattaya, then down to Phuket which was pretty empty just beautiful beaches. I watch your vlogs 😳 and marvel at how many tourists there are now!

Nice video fellow hoser. Can't wait to get back to Thailand.

Mai Khao is amazing, Koh Nom also. So quier with amazing beaches

27:49 - This is called “Nageln” in Austria 🇦🇹 And the last to hit their nail in the wood (with the most difficult thin part of the hammer) buys a round of shots (Schnapps to be exact!) And I think it’s law here to play it ONLY when drunk! Lol😜😉😂

Nice positive vibe this video !!!! Keep up the good work are that Hooters girls Asian?American?????

Oh how I miss Thailand... but I'll be back there in less than four weeks.

Its been a few years (maybe 10) since I was in Patong but I can't help notice it looks more like Pattaya now 😔such a shame. Also stayed at Surin Beach and Nai Harn both were a lot more chill. Looking forward to your next stop 🙂

thanks for the graph. Looks like most of the smog is coming into Thailand via Cambodia.

I will subscribe to your channel because I like it, best regards

Don`t get me wrong.... I love to Party... But I think 1 or 2 days and I would want out..... Great to see the World getting back to Normal....Great Job STL :-)))

Good job

I think we both laughed at the same moment when the older guy started looking at that cool girl in white pants. hahahaha love it broo

I'm heading back to Thailand in April, still deciding if I want to go back to Koh Phangan or try somewhere else. Great video. I think this would be fun for a weekend but yeah no way I could spend a month here.

Welcome to thailand my friend

👍🏾entertaining video.

Thanks 👍

Hi ya! BC peeps here to check out the places you recommend!

C U Soon Phuket! I LUV the Frenetic Action. Cheers STL! (-:

Same hotel I stayed in three years ago. Was ok for a couple nights .

Beer prices are the same as in 1992 when i was there the first time, good deal.😆

Welcome back!

That was funny...the looks these girls got....some things never change I guess🤭 Still, the dynamics are changing you see more and more families and friends rather than the usual" mentioned above

The good thing is. You can have a mad crazy night out and the next a quite evening away from the craziness. There is something there for all. It’s all a mixture of madness. Go there open minded. Be careful and enjoy. We’re there in 11 days time can’t wait for round 2. Love form 🇬🇧

NICE TO VISIT BEAUTIFUL.THAILAND ,SOME CHEAP FOR US .FROM US CA

Cool'

I find driving more dangerous lately … you’re right driving here in Phuket has changed with the influx of new residents … coming from Chiang Mai I noticed immediately 😮 what to do … who knows

There was another Khun Sa from that area of the world, he didn't sell Penang Gai though...

One night in Phuket makes a grown man humble.....

usually any view of weight machines is obscured / flanked . lined up where each machine blocks the ones behind it in line. it’s a common thing in these videos.

Hey, I'm curious what camera or phone that u use to vlog?

Never been to Phuket. Having watched your video I doubt I ever will. Horrendous place. Just had 3 nights on Koh Sichang. Lots of walking and lots of hills. Not many people. Just how I like it

I used to work near Bangla RD 10 years ago, WOW this place has got more expensive than Spain.. !! crazy prices

Welcome💐💐💐🙏

Yes

Never been to Patong and this video confirms that as the correct decision for me. Wayyyyy too busy and loud. I'm much more for those same chill vibes you mentioned at the end.

Its amazing how its so busy so good to see

OTOP has always been our favorite hangout🥰

Loving your videos mate but this looks like my worst nightmare sadly

A tour of Rawai would be nice 👍

Wow, I can't believe how crazy Phuket is now. I was there on New Years Eve of 2017 and it wasn't even this bad. I wouldn't want to be there when it is this nuts, but thanks for showing us what it is like and the prices for things.

come to cambodia too cos it next each has warm welcome...

In patong last nite,5g+ts for 200baht

Do you what the singer at 9:45 is called? Or the song? Sounds good

Staying in Patong this week and motorbiking everywhere. Kata and Karon are very unappealing this week. Very overcrowded even more than Patong. Everywhere it's Russian tourists. If you know where to go and look around, you can avoid all this. The edges of Patong are magic. Old Phuket is great. The mall is actually full of cheap eats. Phuket is cleaner than most tourist places.

Top draw Sidetrip

Where do u search for rooms etc.? What site

What's the name of this condo? Thx.

Thanks for adding $CAD prices
