EXPLORING KOH PHANGAN 🌴 More Than Just the Full Moon Party

[@rickybobby1055]

Thank you for sharing this. Thailand has been on my list for a few years now. Beautiful work, cant wait for the next upload!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Pleasure 😊 what a beautiful country

[@mitsurito915]

Im going to Thailand with my mom and boyfriend in a week and watching your videos has helped calm my anxiety sm ty 😭

[@MillaExplores]

I love that you guys are being so spontaneous 😂👏🏼 I mean a week here or there, if you got the time why not! Gonna be fun seeing the full moon party vlog, and I think with your experience vlogging after a few drinks might only make the vlogs funnier 😂

[@BackpackingBananas]

Drunk Christianne tends to just shout very loudly whilst vlogging 😂😂

[@charnchon]

Salad in Thai means “pirate.” There was a story that in the past, the pirates were at this beach. That’s why it’s called salad or pirate beach 😁

[@chrisemblen7812]

Thanks for the tour. Mae Haad beach, that you called Ko Ma, is my fave in the whole world. I stayed there for about 6 weeks once just chilling. Met some amazing people (before the new large resort was built). What you missed was a 5 min swim out from the sand bar is the most amazing reef. Absolutely stunning coral & fish, you are so lucky to be able to visit when quiet. Koh Phangan does want to make you want to stay (and go back). Before you know it, you've been there months. Enjoy your time there, the NW side of the Island is definitely a jewel.

[@TravelPhuket]

You have a wonderful persona! Very open, honest and kind. Thank you.

[@BackpackingBananas]

🥰🥰🥰

[@ADTJEA]

Hi Christianne, I’m currently bingewatching all your Thailand videos because I am at a AQ hotel in Bangkok right now 🤣 It’s so helpful as Thailand can be quite overwhelming when you visit for the first time. There are sooo many nice things to do. My plan is to go to Koh Samui end of this week and after that to Ko Pha Gnan. I will definitely go to the Full moon party. So maybe I’ll see you there! Keep on making these videos, you’re doing a great job 😊

[@ADTJEA]

Oh I just realised, you probably went to the full moon party on the 17th of February.. I’ll go to the one on the 17th of March 😅 Can’t wait to see your experience tho

[@McTickles777]

Shiralea! You met most of my friends in Thailand! It used to be a party hostel..

[@cjexplores]

Thanks for the tour! Very useful info 😉 we are planning to visit later this year!

[@SamJune2423]

Your headstands look amazing !! Would love to see a workout while traveling video! 🖤 much love ! You’re amazing

[@haylziom]

ooooh Sheralea!!! Ive spent almost 2months there over many occasions! it was a party hostel before covid. my fav place but odd to see it so quiet!

[@AMellens20]

are you and Jeremy still together? I noticed he’s not been in any of your recent Instagram posts 🙁

[@motorcyclesandearthworks3196]

I ate and orange today and it was wonderful

[@TravellingYearbook]

We came to Koh Phangan for the parties 🥳 but stayed for the beaches, hikes and good vibes ✌️❤ 🏖

[@rxox811]

I’ve been lovinggg the vlogs!! ❤️

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thank you 🥰🥰

[@SideTripLife]

Was at 1st FMP of 2022 and it's deffo back. Recommend stay at lovely Rin Nai beach just over the hill, you'll love it. KPG my fav island!

[@CegomezChannel]

I’m loving this series!!! So many good recommendations!!

[@freelancekate8919]

thanks for the great videos im so jealous that you are travelling around Thailand. please keep on uploading the videos. i cant wait to see the fullmoon party video. you and Jeremy make great videos.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks Kate! The videos are gonna keep on coming 🙌🏼

[@TheMazter14]

Can you do a video comparing what travelling/backpacking is like in these current times compared to pre pandemic ? I’m going soon and fear it could be too quiet

[@NiamhE]

Yess this would be great!

[@bedebyers8721]

Totally agree, same boat, this would be super helpful!

[@BackpackingBananas]

I won’t be making a video on this but I can tell you it’s definitely not too quiet! Sure, it is significantly quieter than usual but I’d say in the best way. Things are not crowded, you rarely have to worry about things being full booked. The nights end sooner but there is always a secret after party and the curfews are actually getting later all the time (when I arrived in Thailand, it was 9pm, now it’s 1am!)

[@andreabellotti7271]

go to bali to be sure

[@danplasma]

gorgeous food and nature, not to be a materialistic guy, but we would love to know how much you gorgeous kids make with 178k subs, all the best!

[@theowletblog]

really appreciate you uploading while im on my lunch break haha

[@BackpackingBananas]

😘😘 perfect timing haha

[@laurwingingit]

omg I stayed here in 2017! It was called Goodtime Beach Backpackers back then, and we got to stay in the treehouse because they accidentally double booked us... so fun!!!

[@johnpaulcummins6014]

Nice to see you hear ill start following you because I think your sound out

[@valeriegagnon4819]

Hello Christiane! I've been to the exact same hostel in January 2018 but it was called Goodtimes back then. We had such a great time there! The staff was really really nice and the location was perfect. Hope you had a good time as well! Cheers from Quebec Canada!! ☺️

[@panoramic6011]

hey ! looks like your using the dj pocket camera.. how do you like it and do you recommend it ?

[@NiamhE]

I’m so excited to see the full moon party video!

[@BackpackingBananas]

🥳🥳🥳

[@mgdln.m]

Looked the video!! May I asked what month/time of year you were there?

[@jomontanee]

Thank you so much for showing various sides of Koh Pangan.

[@BackpackingBananas]

I feel like not many people know about all the beautiful spots!

[@serhatyildirim1989]

Hey awesome video. Did you guys pre book your hostels or just decided when you landed on the islands?

[@brandygonzalez5334]

If you don’t mind answering - what does Jeremy do for work? I want to backpack with my boyfriend and we’re trying to figure out a way he can make money remotely. Thanks! always have loved your vids 💓

[@BackpackingBananas]

He’s an engineer but currently is in between jobs and not working atm

[@anonym3169]

Great vlog wonderful Christie!!! 💖 Those beaches look incredible!!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Gotta love the Thai beaches 😍

[@stevelangton7591]

Koh Ma is the small island. The beach you was on is Mae haad beach 😉

[@emmatownsend2398]

Found you via Retired Working For You! We’re hoping to make it to Thailand early next year after a postponed 2019 trip. Are you having to book accommodation in advance or have you been finding rocking up ok?

[@Darny1able]

did u stay at the sea flower

[@roadsclouds]

Excellent video 😊

[@danceswithwolves6841]

Should have gone to the black moon party… an experience you will remember forever 🍄 😎

[@brittanyreid5062]

Bodega is owned and managed by some of my friends, if you met the scraggly dog with the mohawk there, that's Geoff, my neph-dog!

[@brittanyreid5062]

I've followed you for a while and automatically clicked when I saw you were on our island. I'm watching this next to my boyfriend and the second you said you were at Bodega we both gasped, you do not seem like the Bodega type (I'm not either) hehe but glad you had fun! it usually never rains this much in February. So unlucky for tourism, but it does cool it down a bit which is a nice break from the constant heat.

[@CHAZIN_TV]

Very nice. Love Phangan

[@stich21]

It just snowed again here in Wisconsin. I'd love some tropical island now even with the rain.

[@pitchayapalburanahirun3967]

Welcome to thailand😎😄😉

[@juliadordoni1244]

Hi! How intense is the heat in March/April in Koh Phangan? Is there any way to escape it?

[@goranea1675]

I would like to know your opinion on going on a solo vacation as a woman to Thailand right know. I have been there in 2018 travelling solo and I loved the experience. But I am afraid that the backpacking experience will disappoint me after Covid. Do you recommend waiting still? Love your videos!

[@BackpackingBananas]

The backpacking experience absolutely does not disappoint right now! It’s not as busy as ‘normal’ but there are still lots of people around and it’s very easy to meet people!

[@yosoloquieroviajar298]

what time of the year you recoment to visit Thailand specially the beach areas thank you so much for your videos

[@BackpackingBananas]

This time of year (Jan-March) is USUALLY good because it’s dry season but honestly the weather is never overly predictable

[@yosoloquieroviajar298]

@@BackpackingBananas thank you I am planing a trip over there around June

[@ellenrosengren3910]

Hi, Your trip looks amazing. Me and my sister is planning on visit Koh Samui and Koh Phagnan this summer and we are grateful for you vlogs so we can get some inspiration:)! However, we have a question about transportation on both Islands, like what is the best way to get around the Islands?

[@BackpackingBananas]

Rent a scooter! Best way to get around and explore. Alternatively there are lots of taxis 😊

[@m.j.b.]

Well done !! Where are we the Hir exactly? Super gemacht !! Wo sind wir den hir genau ?

Always a good time 🥳🥳

[@simonkoci7088]

I am 90% sure I saw you yesterday passing me by on a scooter at ko Phangan. Is that possible?

@@BackpackingBananas Damm.. maybe too much sunshine that day :) nevermind

[@jolynneraymond1108]

So jealous of your travels. You have given me some great ideas for future Thailand travel. Just one request - more of Jérémy in the videos, please! His accent is perfect. Have you picked up any French?

[@BackpackingBananas]

I have only picked up the smallest amount of French. Unfortunately he hates being on camera so I’m afraid he won’t be in them much more than this!

[@billmccaleb7481]

Thailand looks great regardless of the weather. Nice handstands too (with calisthenics?)! Full moon party video sounds good…intoxicated CR? Fun!

[@BackpackingBananas]

I don’t often film drunk but the next vlog will be an exception 😂

[@bente4543]

Are you going to make a video about how much you spend in Thailand?

[@BackpackingBananas]

Absolutely!

[@marianap.7485]

Are you still going to visit Cambodia after Thailand? Loving the videos in this series btw :)

[@BackpackingBananas]

Nope, I shall be heading straight to Australia 😊

[@jayfisscher]

hello, Is half moon happening as well on koh phangan?

[@BackpackingBananas]

Yep I think so! We didn’t go so I’m unsure what it’s like atm

[@tarishakerr4497]

How many countries have you been to now!? 140 days until I backpack Thailand!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

I’m not counting haha but maybe about 50??

[@meaghanmacfarlane9557]

Yeah... totally not watching this at work... definitely not me using my work computer to watch this on company time... nope. not me

How long have you been in Thailand now? Great video btw

[@noname.9449]

In a different comment she said Australia, I would’ve loved Cambodia too

[@BackpackingBananas]

I’ve been here about 2 months!

[@megaboringman]

What’s your plans after Thailand?

[@BackpackingBananas]

Australia!!

[@AscendanceMedia]

For everyone staying at Koh Phangan: Baan Klong House is a really nice place to stay. It is run by a very kind en helpful family. Stayed there for multiple days in 2016 and again in 2019.

[@BackpackingBananas]

😊

[@NomadShifu]

It is an island in the Gulf of Thailand in Surat Thani Province of southern Thailand. Ko Pha-ngan is best known for its Full Moon Party at Hat Rin Beach. Ko Pha-ngan has two sister islands: the larger Ko Samui to the south and the smaller Ko Tao to the north.
