I absolutely enjoyed all of this beautiful scenery of the different parts of Thailand. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@mauihowey]

This has been an incredible 5 part series, i think you did a masterful job of showing many aspects of all the islands.......i have only been to Samui, but now i will return with my wife to see the others, great work!

[@julien6444]

Great video again ! We have been to Thailand 3 times now and looking forward to go back. Everytime we travel a different route and Koh Tao must be an island for our next trip. Thanks for the beautiful footage ! Greetings from the Netherlands (in a strickter lockdown since yesterday)

[@shirleyboy8859]

Just found you so working my way through your videos. I must say they are wonderful, just the right length, the subtitles are good and you explain things well without being condescending... and I wish I was there!!!!!! :-)))

[@badbadgerretiredinthailand]

watch this morning, love it, you know its call freedom beach for a reason (you showed a little glimpse of why ) its certainly quite, love your videos and stay safe

[@leonardpodbisky6128]

Love your videos. I don't like the ones where you see the chucklehead in every frame . I much prefer your vids where I get to see everything and it's explained . Good job.

[@followhannesw]

Dear Side Trip Life - Nice video, just a little too long. The island no longer looks like I remember it. Like everywhere around the world. Too bad the Robinson Crusoe is lost. However, as a visitor, it is certainly an idyll there at the moment: unbeatable prices, pleasant weather and no hordes of tourists. That's the other side of the coin. Let's go now! hannes w.

[@janus302]

Thanks man, very nice movie👍, can't wait to see movies of my favorite island Phangan. Stay well. 🙏

[@yeochewhong9044]

Excellent video footage, captured the serenity n beauty of the place Many thanks. Take care. 👍

[@lorettahendricks467]

Thank you for your lovely videos I just loved ko Tao I was sad and depressed with the lock down for the last 10 months but now I am dreaming of ko Tao and planning my holiday to Thailand to ko Tao ,I love Thailand and have been to Bangkok and Phuket and my next trip will be to ko Tao ,love your narration and all the hotels you showed in your videos with the prices thanks a lot for all the information.love Loretta from India

[@NomadShifu]

Koh Tao is one of Thailand's most popular islands, especially for divers and snorkelers. But even if you don't dive yourself, visiting Koh Tao is definitely worth it. The island does not offer many classic sights, but all the more exciting activities.

[@nealweeks6632]

Thank you for spending the $3.00. Always worth it to see something interesting or beautiful.

[@maxleishman6363]

I was here only this time last year. Crazy to see it so deserted. The most magical place. I traveled a lot of the islands. Ko Tao my favorite by far.

[@kyewso]

Enjoyed that video a lot, Koh tao looks stunning when it’s peaceful like that🇹🇭🏝🙏

[@legambaz]

Awesome clip this is on a very beautiful place. Your narration makes watching so much for relax. Thanx.

[@ВячеславЯковлев-н9р]

Thank you for the beautiful video, for the beautiful Thailand, for the beautiful island of Tao!!!👍👍👍👍👍

[@Cultured_Barbarian]

The Flintstone trail is our favorite part of that beach

[@jackiechang1572]

Best time to travel if your lucky enough to be there love your vids great work from the UK

[@SideTripLife]

Thanks Jackie & for sure I'm fortunate to be here (grateful to be actually, especially at this time). Thankfully things are looking up & hopefully more can start to return in the not too distant future. Cheers!

Thank you so much for your comment Jean-Claude. Better days coming! Take care all :)

[@familymart9778]

Another great video. 👍😁❤️

[@BrokerBasil]

Nice relaxed intro to Koh Tao - hope to visit there on my next trip to Phangan. And good to know where "your" myna bird is. I had one ("Lucky" - featured in some of my videos there) at my resort on Koh Phangan also. He used to mimic the sound of screeching brakes as motor-bikes descended to parking area next to his cage.

[@AmitSingh-qq4lc]

Too good wow amazing beautiful

[@726wkt]

First american got vaccinated yesterday!! Can't wait to visit all the places in your videos. I might just duplicate a trip the same way you did. Thanks for all the info.

Great content again 👍🏻

[@andreas4104]

maybee 15 years ago , i stay in the cabana resort, realy nice view from the bedroom to the mainbeach. (in the night a little bit noisy / beach party untill open end :-))) Nice island . where are you now? the vids are from november /i saw your live vid (nang yuan). back in BKK? currently there are some problems in BKK about AQI (air pollution) ? Hope on next you travel to the north thailand, if never been there (14times in the south or middle :-) . stay healthy and ty for this nice video again

[@attilab317]

Watching your older vids as I’m through with all newer ones 😉 in case you still read this…I noticed you mentioning twice now that you expect Thailand to be like Singapore soon enough. Do you still think that and how so? Do you think they will also be as super tidy (almost artificial) and full of regulations and prohibitions?

[@SideTripLife]

Well that's what the avg ever complaining Expat seems to want, a nanny state with world class infrastructure (but at a fraction of the cost somehow;). Thailand will eventually 'catch up' to becoming like Singapore & the West (sigh) but for now remains mostly a place with greater freedoms best practiced with some self-responsibility to enjoy (or endlessly grumble as many Expats are want to do;)

[@attilab317]

@@SideTripLife thanks for your insights! I sure hope Thailand won’t adapt too many western habits. In many ways they are even more advanced (like the bumgun you like to point out from time to time 😉)

[@Rynorasaurus]

Awesome job from a fellow BC Boy/Lover of Thailand!

[@SideTripLife]

Thx Ryan, Cheers eh:)

If you like Reggae Bars..check out the one on Koh Phayam..[ near Ranong } EPIC !! It's called the Hippy Bar..

You have seen Koh Tao at its best.

[@bertvanderkooij2886]

I sometimes envy you being single w/o kids and travel anywhere and anyway you want. Ah well l really appreciate the style and content of your uploads. Thank you and keep them coming 🙏🏻

[@SideTripLife]

Hi Bert, thanks. Just for the record, sometimes I envy friends who have a fulfilling family life. Solo & w/o kids isn't always beaches & sunsets (just looks that way on YT;) Still, I know I''m very fortunate to be here, especially at this time and I hope all can start returning in the not too distant future too. Take care, better days ahead:)

[@bertvanderkooij2886]

@@SideTripLife l guess that is true, but traveling alone can be fulfilling aswell. Just make sure you are not rushed all the time, which seemed to be the case on Phi Phi a couple of months ago :) Anyway l am actually in quarantaine in BKK at this moment and my family will pick me up Sunday. The coming holidays will be fantastic.

[@SideTripLife]

WONDERFUL Bert! Enjoy!

[@brianlutkin2085]

Great travel vlog, great to see empty with reduced prices. Prices will go up again when this mess sorts itself out, time will change things. Very lucky people there, in uk much the same as say in feb/ march. Apparently the virus has mutated so not sure if new virus will work, looks like a long haul before tourism starts again. Great content, hopefully that other Canadian guy was joking, otherwise it makes a mockery of thai restrictions etc. Bri and frei east Yorkshire.

[@SideTripLife]

The Quebec guy was indeed joking, no worries. Regarding prices, note she said my 800 baht room goes for 1100-1200 in normal times high season so not much more. Just over $30 for beachfront a/c bungalow still fantastic! Take care there in the UK guys and hope you can get back in the not too distant future!

[@rolandet]

Which Python scene? The Fish-slap-dance? 😁

How'd that other Canadian get into the country? Love to hear his story! Medical visa?

[@SideTripLife]

100% certain he was joking ;)

Travel to Thailand now possible. Quarantine then free to wander. Heading there end January myself. I’m taking notes STL. Thanks.

Beautiful have no people quiet

[@perets006]

Are there any chiken there?

[@SideTripLife]

Sorry, not sure what you're asking there?

[@johnshores4745]

When i finally get back to Pathum thani to see my GF i shall be heading here for a break . would you recommend a month here or would you be pulling your hair out by the end ?

[@SideTripLife]

I could easily do a month (or more) very happily on KT. But if you get itchy feet can just hop a boat to Phangan or Chumpon, both are amazing and open more options.

[@ZeHydra]

2 weeks here to chill out, 1 week on Phangan to get some party in and then 1 week on Samui to enjoy the more expensive and bigger things in life.

[@mihalyfreeman5928]

Food prices way too expensive there dude, $10 for break lunch dinner? $30 a day just to eat?

[@SideTripLife]

That was for dinner at a Western Tex-Mex restaurant including 2 tacos, chicken wings and a tequila margarita which together would cost around double back home. Normally eat local Thai food for $2.00 a meal but decided to have a treat. So, you can pay under $2 or $10 and it's still a bargain comparatively.

[@valle011]

nice video but you are doing too much advertising / money, that is quite an impertinence to look at with the many commercial breaks

[@SideTripLife]

Sorry bout that Stefan (and to all). I just click 'monetize/yes' and YT does whatever it does (also get less visibility if clicking 'no'). The money is a pittance really but every bit helps make this channel possible. Also, as you see I do tend to tip & help others along the way, thus you're helping too, thanks :)
