Glad to see the upload and that your doing well. All the best mate.

When you're on motorbike concentrate bcuz the roads in TL.no.1 most dangerous in this world Thai people drive like very crazy.so very carefully.Hope you have the safe trip everywhere.🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍✈✈🚆🚆🚉🚉🚤🚤🛥🛥⛴⛴🛳🛳🚢🚢🛳🛳

[@nightclawer6679]

Thai doctor is amazing and it's expensive cuz that hospital is not goverment's hospital. Thai's teenage have an accident on their motorbike all the time so the doctor have intensive exp. with it and likely to fix you up if nothing serious.

[@kevchristie79]

Troika is pretty good actually. It used to be a Russian Karaoke if i remember correctly. Welcome back to Koh Samui Mickey.

[@nyciron]

The headlight on the bike has a nice range

[@littleguyJop]

I'm Thai, but I don't have the opportunity to travel around the country like you. After watching your video, I really like it. It felt like I was going on a trip with you. Seeing places I've never been to Thank you for making a travel video. It's awesome Please keep making awesome videos. I love it.

[@MickeyStotch]

Thanks Jop, I am really glad I can take everyone with me on a tour, and I appreciate your support 🙏

[@phongkornwandee4019]

I missed Samui so much.

[@cryptobre682]

This was an emotional episode Mickey. I am very happy that you stayed in Thailand after the accident. Cant imagine a life without hungry mickey content from Thailand. Its nice to see you so happy and smiling again. Cheers

[@user-cz1kh5vs4f]

Welcome back mickey have a nice life see you soon

[@Shamrah.A]

I don't know you, but watching your content, I always got a feeling you had some kind of experience in life that probably made you see things and people differently. Glad to know you made it through a horrible accident and you're still here to share the adventures. In good health 🙏🏼 Unlike the common idea that Russians are cold, having lived in 6 countries, I think Russians are some of the toughest - but once you get to know them better - the NICEST and most loyal. Most of my closest friends are Russian, including my best friend. Keep going and creating Mickey. This experience is probably a blessing in disguise. Such experiences show who really matter and what really matter in life isn't it. I can relate, had a near death experience in Saint Petersburg ( my first trip there in my first day hehe). Excellent vibes, and somehow, this post inspires me to do more. The best in the times ahead 🙏🏼Cheers

[@jomontanee]

Mickey you are back!!!!🦋💖🌸👍🌈 And thank you so much for taking us back into your personal backstory of Koh Sami. That is why your channel is so successful. 14:31 OMG THE DOGGIE. He is the king of the ocean!☀️✨💕💫

[@LaMaiStyle]

It’s been about 9 years since I’ve been there. Glad to see the roads have improved

[@MickeyStotch]

The roads are really fantastic!

[@stuckinthepattayabubble9319]

They are better in KP.....the roads here in Samui have potholes everywhere.

[@corefpvathome]

Sadly Mickey our son also had a bike accident in Koh Samui. And he happened to be taken to the very hospital you were in. Your video at the hospital bought a flood of memories back to my wife and I. We stayed with him for 11days in ICU before we repatriated him back home. During that time with him we witnessed others come into the ICU ward and most were bike accidents. We're glad your still here to visit where your worst days were treated. Thankyou Mickey for sharing your story. Stay Safe 🙏

[@thipwipha2355]

I love Phuket but love Koh Samui more. In 1997 I came here with my colleagues. It was very fun to ride the ferry, very beautiful, green water. Amazingly clean air The description is not right. You and I have memories here too. I love Koh Samui. Thank you for your VDO. I wish you enjoy at Samui every day. Good time.

[@LaMaiStyle]

It’s my favorite island where I spent a lot of time visiting friends and family.

ที่ไลค์กับยอดวิวน้อยลงอาจจะเพราะคุณทำวิดิโอท่องเที่ยวในไทยเป็นช่องแรกของไทยที่เป็นชาวต่างชาติ ทำให้คนสนใจในช่วงแรก เมื่อนานวัน คนดูจึงน้อยลง เเต่คุณจะเห็นยอดวิวแท้ๆ ของช่องของคุณ ยอดวิวที่เหลือนั้นคือยอดคนดูที่ติดตามจริงๆตลอดมา เเละจะค่อยๆเติมโตไปเรื่อยๆ เป็นเรื่องปกติ ขอให้โชคดีกับการเดินทางในประเทศไทย และฉันก็เป็น 1 ใน แฟนคลับของคุณ Hope u see my comment :)

[@MickeyStotch]

Yeah, it has just 3 legs, but is still enjoying the life

[@ww3k]

What an emotional journey! Thank you for sharing.

[@neilcorby6259]

Wow 10 years. Samui is one of my favorite places in Thailand. Went once for a wedding and have be going back ever since. I hope you enjoy it as much as i do.

[@kellypeace7915]

I am glad that you've decided to stay a bit longer in the South. The weather is much better now . Thanks for sharing your past experience with us. Have a save trip, Mickey ✌

[@margiemargie3193]

This is very touching and it isn't easy to go back to a time of difficulty and share it with all of us. But you said it, your accident made you the man you are now. Enjoy Samui and don't think to the past anymore. On Chaweng there's one small resort just in front of the small island, it's OP bungalows. It's nothing luxurious, but clean and with a beautiful garden and nIce restaurant on the beach. A lot of people go there for a longer stay on the island. Love Samui and hope I will be back in September and I can't wait to see Bangkok again! Who knows? Maybe I will recognize you in some market!

[@thanwabunchai2755]

I've been to Koh Samui about 2 times. I love that island so much 😍 Can't wait to go back again. Thank you Mickey 🙏 "khab road di di" "rawang rawang​ na​ jaaa"

[@asfaltsame8834]

It's nice that you've shared your feelings and the human experience in your latest videos

[@little_engine_goes_to_Thailand]

Lucky you went to the Bangkok hospital- yes very expensive but the care was exceptional. That day I drove past the Bangkok hospital earlier that day and remembered it, later on, the ambulance was taking me to another hospital and I stopped them and said I want to go to the Bangkok Hospital. . I severed the entire tendon on the back of my leg- so the whole leg couldn't move. 4-hour surgery and 2 months in bed. But, now I can also jump, climb and run thanks to the fantastic doctors. Must deliver flowers to them next time I am on the island.

[@surawoot2001]

Love the way your travel with your memories around in Thailand.

[@isme2161]

ขับรถ ระมัดระวังด้วยนะครับ เป็นห่วงๆ ❤️❤️

[@robrateeretired]

Woww welcome you smile again..and samui island look interesting and 2 nextmonth we will going with my family

[@jnkspa]

Just returned from Koh Samui on Sunday evening nice & clean place, friendly people, good foods “ lovely place to spend relax & peaceful time”

[@MickeyStotch]

What's your favorite area here?

[@user-mh4pn8np1d]

รู้สึกว่าคุณเป็นคนที่เอ็นดูแมวหมานะค่ะ ดูแล้วสนุกดีคุยเก่งมากค่ะ

[@somsaksomprasong583]

Yeah, man that's life be strong, keep moving forward!

[@thnaykhwam2425]

Love this video Mickey It's always fun watching ur video. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@ExtroLurkerhaz]

Great video, looking forward to more Koh Samui content!

[@perarneandersson129]

Welcome back Mickey. Really good to c u back on the tube. Been missing your travel videos.

[@nzimalaya2011]

Utmost respect ! It takes a lot of courage to revisit the exact spot where you met with your rather unfortunate destiny on the day the accident. It takes courage and humility to reflect and discuss about it the way you did. I could see from time to time you tried to hold back the tears *if I aint mistaken* that is. At times we experience certain things so we could appreciate and cherish what we have even better, and in your case you did just that. About the freinds that could not help you out,don't hold a grudge against them, may be they had issues of their own to deal with, just think of it as a nice lesson learnt the difficult way, hope someday we can hook up in Bkk for a drink 🙌🙌

[@LifewithSerg]

I feel your pain Mickey. I’ve been in three motorcycle accidents over 30 years of riding. My worst one was also early in my 20s. It left me with lifelong issues as well, but I still ride! I’m hoping to do my first motor bike tour in Thailand next month. I’m very excited, but I’m also going to be very careful. Koh Samui is very high on my list of places to go visit. Thanks for taking us along.

[@MickeyStotch]

Where are you going for your first bike ride, Serg?

[@LifewithSerg]

@@MickeyStotch I am thinking of going up to Chiang Mai, spend a few days there and maybe do the Mae Hong Song loop. Koh Samui is also a possibility. Still undecided.

[@MickeyStotch]

The North would be more scenic, especially in the rainy season. Riding to Mae Hong Son is a good idea!

[@LifewithSerg]

@@MickeyStotch sweet. Thanks for the tips Mickey!

[@graerindley6312]

What are the best ways to reduce risk of motorbike accodents? I have ridden 2 months per year for 30 years with no major accident, perhaps lucky.😀

[@allenericson8038]

Awesome tour….going back to places that hold such an emotional connection can be hard. Thanks for taking us with you…..

[@thomaslouis802]

so excited for this series, the ferry from Surat Thani to Koh Samui is great, the food is tasty to, we got pork and rice with an egg...yum Good to see Mickey smiling again on his hungry adventures. T Aberdeen

[@MickeyStotch]

Thanks T! Hope you have a good day at work today!

[@peterbeesley8904]

Mickey, thanks for your trip down memory lane. Great filming and as interesting as ever

[@jb9547]

Welcome back, Welcome back, Welcome back! Love seeing you back and being yourself again. Can't wait for your next videos! Keep up the good work. 👍 🙌

[@kburke5564]

Great video, Mickey. Thanks so much for sharing 😊. Take care.

[@patrycjakuzma3695]

Thank you so much for sharing your memories and experiences with us M. I'm proud of you! Su su!

[@sudo1974]

Hi, Mickey, so impressed with this video. I had surgery in my right leg both inside and outside ankles in Japan It was 10 years ago, same as you. Actually some events have happened to me like that, finally I am living in Thailand since 3 years ago.. I think this is destiny that I am in Bangkok now. Maybe your staying in Thailand is also your destiny. You love Thailand. I love Thailand, too!

[@kikgalaxy4358]

Very glad you are happy now. Congrats to another amazing video, Mickey.

[@assail]

wonderful video mickey. thanks for sharing!! always look forward to your videos.

[@md3002]

Thanks for sharing and showing us your stories Mickey, it's good to see you've overcomed the accident. Looking forward to the next hungry adventures in koh samui!!

[@caseychan7215]

I was on Samui for the very first time during the early 2000. I stayed in a basic bungalow hut on Chaweng Beach. Back then I remembered there was only The Reggae Bar and Green Mango Club. I went back a few years ago and I completely do not recognise the tranquil idyllic island it once was. Time changes everything.... Russian's are build like super man. So glad you are healthy happy and living the life... Looking forward to visit Thailand starting from February 2023. First stop Bangkok! Would be great to meet you in person for some delicious street food maybe?? Cheers Mickey! 💖🕉️🙏

[@banjongch]

So happy to see your video.

[@MrMrMartino]

I am Thai but I only live in bangkok. I really enjoyed your video. This video made me laughed when I saw sea dog and made me sad when I heard about your accident. I am so sorry about that. Such a hard time for you. Thank you for sharing I will keep watching Samui’s videos more to get more information. Hope you have a good trip and beautiful time in Thailand! Oh, and the last one thing you speak Thai very nice and so humble when I heard that. Keng mak man!
