Thanks, Lara. Glad you’re enjoying our videos. Hope you have a great trip in December. There are quite a few places to hire a bike. Only recommendation from us is to make sure you wear a helmet and have an international license. We are in the process at the moment of producing a whole new series of our current travels around Thailand so keep an eye out for more videos. Happy travels Rob and Shaz.

@@robshaztravels yes have international drivers licence this time!!

@@antonkarlsson4556 ooh that’s a hard one I think Koh Lanta as there are more beaches to choose from that are beautiful 🤩

@@antonkarlsson4556 but in saying that Koh Lanta is getting busier and Khao Lak is still very laid back ahhhh it’s a hard one We have also just spent a few days at Khanom Beach and that was amazing, a few days there was not enough to enjoy all the beautiful beaches there Stay tuned for that video :)

@@MrStanHimself that’s awesome 🤩 we are glad you liked it Stay tuned for our next videos as we are heading to Surat Thani, Khanom Beach, Koh Phangan and Hua Hin over the next few weeks :)

@@robshaztravels Will do we are going back next year for our 3rd time and are looking for other spots! Perfect info

@@MrStanHimself we were the same we’ve been going to Phuket for 10 years but have loved visiting Krabi Koh Lanta and Khao Lak, we are super excited to be seeing other parts of Thailand to see which area is our next favourite lol

@@beverleylockwood6611 hi Beverley the roads are fabulous in Khao Lak mostly 2 lanes each way and relatively new

Ah thank you for you reply, I'm so excited to go 😀

@@beverleylockwood6611 I hope you have a fabulous trip We are going to head back there again in January

@@maryjayne8746 thank you Mary We absolutely adore Khao Lak cannot wait to get back there

It’s one of very favourites. 🛫🛫🏖️🏖️🙏

Glad you enjoyed it 🏖️🛫🏖️

Hi Lara. For the trip in the video we booked it three days prior and had no problem getting the tickets. But we have just booked another trip today for October and we are going to Koh Phangan by ferry. Shaz booked the tickets today using the 12go website and found it easy to use. We hope you have a brilliant trip 🙏🛫🏝️

@@robshaztravels thank you 😊

Hi Tommy. We were travelling in December and the conditions were mostly very good. Hope that helps and enjoy your travels

Hello Mark, we use the website 12Go.asia to book our tickets and it cost us around $31 AUD which is about $20 US. It was easy to book and process went well. Hope that helps and enjoy your travels. :)

Hi. Thanks for your comment. We are glad you enjoyed the video and even more glad you subscribed lol. 90% of what we say in our videos is AdLib. We occasionally try to rehearse what we are going to say before we turn the camera on, but that never works out. Lol. Enjoy your travels from Rob and Shaz. 😊👍🙏

@@robshaztravels good work guys i didnt think you would reply to the little guy thanks :-)

Hi Mountain Life. The only one we are certain hires Paddle Boards is at Memories Beach. Some hotels on the beach have them for the residents but I am not sure which ones. But you can definitely hire at Memories Beach 🏖️

Hey Anna thanks for the question, we hired a car for the day and drove up to Marri Marri and booked at the reception desk

@@FollowingGiants you are very welcome 🙏 you do such an amazing job a literally can’t wait to come back and do it again :)

Awesome glad you like the video enjoy your next trip. 👍🙏🍻

We do too 🙏😀🐘

Aren't they amazing animals

@@emmaleeaman1110 it is so cute to see them snoozing all the way in the trees for sure 👍

Thanks for that Emma good information 😊

That term is to be differentiated between humans who also make forest as their home, i.e "orang asli/orang dayak" and the rest of us "orang bandar", "orang kampung", "orang putih" and many others orang. 🙂

Thank you 😀 we are glad you enjoyed it

Thank you for your recommendation we don’t have much time when we were there but next time we will definitely check it out :)

You're welcome 😊

Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching and leaving us a comment :)

@@francisinghels9765 hello please paste your link so we can all check it out thank you

Pimilai resort is best

We are glad you are enjoying the videos thanks for watching. We love Koh Lanta as well one of our favourite Islands in the South of Thailand

Thank you 🙏 hope you liked the video 🙏😊

Thanks for your comment Niko we appreciate your feedback 😊

Good morning Lara :) book what exactly

@@robshaztravels sorry I mean the ferry from Phuket.

@@larastevens2256 no your all good you can buy your ticket at the ferry port or google ferry from Phuket to Koh lanta and find the best price on there :) Happy travels

@@robshaztravels thank you

@@larastevens2256 your welcome

Hi Adrian. We booked through a company called Andaman Islands Tour and Travel on Facebook and they were very good to deal with. The prices of the tours start at around 4000 baht per person. Hope you have a great trip 👍

Thanks!

@@adrianjester2226 your welcome :) 🙏

Did they provide the fins and mask?

Thanks Michael glad you enjoyed it 😊

To be honest I would trust that a grab is going to come and get you from Emerald Pool or the hot springs They are a fair way out and I am sure if they take you there they would want to go back to the main areas where they could be making money Us personally I wouldn’t risk sitting there waiting for a grab to come and pick us up

Your welcome 🙏

Hey Charles we thought about it but after watching some other videos decided against it, they looked scary lol

​@@robshaztravelsNo, they are not..they rarely attack people..the macaque monkeys are way more aggressive and they're everywhere

Thank you for letting us know 🙏😀

It sure is and it is very sad :(

Thank you

Yes Memories is outstanding for Sunset but you are right about the trade-off. The beachfront accommodation sounds alright though. 😊🙏

It sure is :) Are you on Koh Samui now ?

@@robshaztravels I wish but have been to Koh Samui many times (probably more than 10 times) and always opt to stay in/on Choengmon

@@mindless-confusion awesome ;)

Thank you Yes it sure was and so yummy

Thank you so much ☺️

Nang Thong beach isn’t too bad especially with the easterly on shore winds that are around November to April There are some rocky parts but only bad on low tide Defiantly a beach worth visiting Glad you enjoyed the video :) Let us know what you thought of the beach after your visit :) Happy travels

@@robshaztravels How nice of you to reply! I forgot to mention that we are looking for very calm waters. That is why, although beautiful, the surf beach that you loved would not be for us. I assume the winds you mention make it cooler but we will still find calm waters? Thank you so much! Linda

Your very welcome 🙏 There is no surf down that end of town so the beaches there are perfect for calm But again it has to be between November and April while the winds are blowing from the east so the ocean is beautiful and flat When the winds blow onshore from the west the beach is choppy and sometimes unpleasant We find November to March the best time to go as it’s not too humid yet but we also found when we went last year there was still a bit of rain about in November but no one is the weather gods so we just don’t know what’s going to happen on any given day

@@robshaztravels We plan to go in January or February so that sounds just right! I should tell you the reason we are trying to find a new beach destination. We usually go to Koh Jum. We love it. But we are an older couple, age 82 and 76. We need to have easier access to health care if we need it. The islands are wonderful but we think we need to make a change. We were in Khao Lak about 8 years ago and liked it. But if you have any other locations on the mainland besides Khao Lak to suggest from your experience, that would be welcome. Calm waters and access to health care if we need it. Thank you so very much! Linda

@@620EDA so happy to hear you are still travelling that is wonderful for the soul. I hope I am still travelling in 25 years too x Khao Lak sounds perfect for January February and a lot of restaurants and shops around We haven’t been yet but I hear Hua Hin is nice but that is best on low season as the beach faces the other way so May to October but you would also be stuck inside if it’s raining too much We are planning some trips to Hua Hin and Jontiem in the coming months so don’t forget to subscribe and click the bell to get notified of your new videos :)

The hotel we stayed in was right on the beach it was only a short walk from where the boat dropped us off

The weather is changing every year so it’s hard to say but September is usually their wettest month
