Love your vids , most vloggers don’t share hotel prices ect . Your videos share a lot of knowledge for the budget travelers . Big thanks my friend 🙏

[@premchan1]

the longer your video the better, thanks for taking the time and effort.

[@aro-rat]

We are loving your videos, I think they are one of the best out there. You take time showing places where we would not go to. I discounted Koh Chang due to the mountains in the middle as views are restricted. Also I wasn't keen on Hua Hin.... But you justify making trips there. The length of the videos is spot on, they can be longer and we love your style so no issues at all. Thanks for what you are doing.

[@joyousjoyyr337]

"Anybody still watching??" Well yes, of course! I like to see your videos cuz I can sit and relax and they are long enough to enjoy.

[@daveb3987]

I enjoy your videos so much it hurts! These places are amazing, a great escape to watch. Looking forward to getting there soon.

Never boring . Just perfect being nice & low key. Love the laid back vibe. Thanks again from very dry (TX). The topper was the Fire Dancers.

[@karltraveldude7817]

Thanks again STL for another well done and informative video , Oh your singing gets better with each cocktail !! LOL 😁😁😁 Enjoy

[@01Goochie]

Awesome video. Very helpful, heading there myself next month. Can’t wait

[@shaggytech1562]

Your content is never boring, Was on Koh Chang when the first reoprts of Covid came out of China and when I got back to the mainland every one was wearing masks. I have pleanty of other places in Thailand to cross of my to visit list but I do plan to get back to Koh Chang at some point.

[@heatherdavies1894]

Always watch to the end, never boring. Love every minute of your vlogs. 👌🏻

[@SideTripLife]

Much appreciated! STL

[@darrenpierce9362]

So nice to see you made it to my favourite place in Thailand. I had been going to Koh Chang every year since 2005 bar the past 2 Covid years so it's wonderful to see your video's on how it's all doing. It's never too long your videos it's the week wait that's the hardest 😁 Thanks for your videos and looking forward to Kai Bae and Lonely.

[@SideTripLife]

Thank you for the kind comment Darren. You've been going every year since 2005, wow! My 1st visit but I now see the attraction to Koh Chang. Cheers! STL

[@robbogsy3469]

Koh Chang is great,15 Palms is the place for me so lovely and chilled for the sun set.

[@brettlovett5517]

Another great vlog, highlight of the week watching your trips, 3 months and counting before back there, keep them coming 👍👍

[@SideTripLife]

Cheers Brett. 3 months will sail by, the last week is the longest and then toes in sand and brew in hand

[@GPosner8]

It tickles me when you question the length of your videos😄 in all honesty the vibe and content makes your videos fly by. You’ve changed my feelings about visiting Thailand 👏🏻👍✌️🤙🙏🍻

[@ianwallace16]

Watched til the end…good content and accomodation prices. Much better than seeing “talking heads”

[@ctsmith580]

To answer your question, yes still watching, not boring. I especially like the little gems. Simple beauty of a sunset, a chair and a table have always been my cup of tea. I loved your Lake Toba vids. It was stunning beauty and I'm sure the camera doesn't do it justice. I'm a few years from retiring and so many channels concentrate on living in one place. I want a nice base camp, but I want to take these little trips to these gems, these beautiful places. You are doing good things my friend.

[@SideTripLife]

this: 'Simple beauty of a sunset, a chair and a table have always been my cup of tea' = perfect

[@trublu72lewis77]

Your channel should be 100k strong IMHO!! Excellent breakdown of all the relevant info, first class!! Edit, never boring, great content!!

I intend to spend next winter in Thailand. Your videos help guide me to areas I would want to see and hide from another Canadian winter. You have lots of info and suggestions on how to adapt to a more relaxed lifestyle. Good work

[@mikeridge3229]

Don't spend to much time in main cities, get out to real Thailand, but be warned this is not always the land of smiles. Be very street wise. I lived there in ubon , but loved moving around, scooter is your best choice but if you can budget for a car do it.

[@ИринаОрехова-х4э]

Hallo ! And thanks 👍 for beautiful memories ! Was that White sand beach ⛱️ two times - November 2018 and 2019 , remember all at beach area ! So miss for this amazing view, and arrived soon ! 27.02.23 ! Forward see Koh Chang

Wow would love to spend time here in sooo many places. Your never boring. Love the places you choose. Think I'm planning my next trip to samui and koh Chang based on places you have shown me.

Mama chai's looked lovely too

[@iandonachie9549]

Had many a great holiday in Koh Chang.... stayed in a few places you showed.. Rock Sand was 8 years ago, and a really nice chilled place. Then that is the whole island, yes there are lively parts too and some great boat trips from the bottom of the island.... its not your wild party party island, its just a bit more rustic and refined... plenty for all budget ranges. Its a safe cool holiday to just explore, chill out meet some nice people and just relax and forget time.

[@firecat9910]

Amazed that you mentioned Charlie Hut in Samui. I remember them from my first trip to Chaweng in 1999. I think there was also Viking Hut nearby. I stayed at Beachcomber not to far away. Thank you for the memory. 555

[@SideTripLife]

Thanks fir the memories Firecat. My 1st visit to Thailand was as a young guy in '98 and I stayed at legendary Charlies Huts. Chaweng streets were mainly mud tracks, the beach was pristine and I loved it. I still love Samui in present day (and now Koh Chang) but we're both fortunate to have these memories. STL
