I Discovered Koh Samui's Best Beach Resort - Melia Choeng Mon Beach

Want more RW4U? Check out my website here: retiredworking...
By request, this video gives you a full Koh Samui Hotel Tour of Melia, perhaps the nicest new beach resort on Koh Samui. It is located right on Choeng Mon Beach and is one of Thailand's coolest little areas.
** HOW TO GET 10% OFF MELIA ** My followers now get 10% off your stay at Melia Just contact them at [e-mail] or through their website and tell them the code "RW4U" and they'll give you 10% off your next stay. Simple.
I will tour you through the property and show you several room types and even show you the room we got and tell you how much we paid. If you are looking for places to stay in Koh Samui, this video and channel are for you.
Keep in mind the prices we paid are probably much lower than normal due to the pandemic, but if you are in Thailand these days you too can get prices like these and I would highly recommend enjoying some domestic travel these days.
** This video is NOT sponsored in any way....we paid the going rate for our stay and did not ask for anything from the hotel - this is just me being Retired, Working for You **

i agree with you and i love your country!

[@Pitviper73]

Wow! You're a total pro with that drone (panning in and out) and putting those videos together. I can't imagine how much time is involved in editing all the footage and combining it into such a professionally condensed video suitable for advertising the resort on prime time TV. Need to come out of retirement and start your own camera work business.

[@RetiredWorkingForYou]

hahaha.....thanks sean. appreciate it!

[@rwt1889]

He is a pro lol

[@thegrumpycanadian274]

We just watched this with our 9 year old Daughter . We are headed for Koh Samui next Vacation. She(our Daughter) has declares this Resort as our destination. Thank You for all the hard work on another Great Video!

[@RetiredWorkingForYou]

hahaha.....good choice!

[@NeilMcCoyWard]

That looks like a dream right now compare to where we are. We are thinking of any which way we can to get out of the UK right now, Winter is definitely coming in more ways than one. Since Thailand isn't excepting travellers from the UK, do you have any other suggestions as to how to get there? Maybe going to another country first and then travelling in? I'm really grasping at straws tbh...

[@paulrogers6866]

You can get to the Canaries now without quarantine on return so maybe thats your luck for the year and maybe you can find a Thai restaurant to sit in and pretend that you are in Koh Samui.

[@RetiredWorkingForYou]

i don't know....it's all so cloudy these days. feels like the waiting game must continue.

[@robbatayaki5505]

no quarantine in Tahiti. Just preflight test.

[@sakuraisp6974]

this is just so smoothh~really enjoyable, thank you for making this video, loved it.

[@RetiredWorkingForYou]

my pleasure.....glad you liked it!

[@stevenamel9459]

It seems very expensive. I do not think 3000 to 5000 thb is a great deal for this hotel and times like this specially with all shops and restaurants closed

[@KingShaf7]

Looks fabulous, enjoy I applied for an stv from the uk earlier this week and was told although they can take my application fee now, they won’t process it until we become a low risk country again 🥵

[@boeasy3015]

King s, the STV is a almost a scam , yes they will take your money now, but as you have found out unless you are from a safe country (ie China, ) it won’t be granted, money lost , normal tourism will not operate again until late 2021, save ya money and just enjoy vlogs of the lucky buggers like RW4U .... right Chris 😉😉

[@martinpowell5769]

Which obviously we are not 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@RetiredWorkingForYou]

@@boeasy3015 true, but i hope it is not late 2021. and my friend in hong kong said he got his STV approved.....so hopefully it keeps expanding slowly but surely.

[@KingShaf7]

@@boeasy3015 yes absolutely agree. It’s only £250 but yeah like flushing it down the toilet right now as our infection rates aren’t going down anytime within the next 6 months ☹️

Holly shit I had 7 nights at this hotel booked that I had to cancel. Booked a pool access room from for $150 with breakfast. Omg it looks better then I had imagined. I’m so depressed, I wish I didn’t Watch this.

4800 Bath hefty price. But! Just need a private jet to go there

[@tfhmobil]

Nothing is for free 😀 I can’t even have a 3’ class bed&breakfast around where I live, at that money. Even the boring, one person, one night stay, at airport hotel, is double that money. I can’t wait to go....

[@l.hansson1143]

@@tfhmobil You can get great room for 700 Bath. I rather spend my money on condoms than expensive hotels

[@tfhmobil]

@@l.hansson1143 I’m sure my girlfriend will protest, if I need 4000 ThB of condoms a night 😀 I do stay at not so expensive hotel, when I’m in Thailand. I always check in, on a hotel in BKK, the first few days on arrival, and a day or two, before I leave. I prefer DD hotel in BKK, @ 1.000 ThB a night. That’s near my preferred shopping area, and even very busy hotel, it’s okay quite. We have been to Koh Samui, it’s only a few hours motorcycle trip from the farm, but couldn’t find a good hotel. I hope we have better luck next time 🙂 I can recommend Koh Payam, if you like a more relaxed atmosphere. We paid about 2.500 ThB a day, in a normal year, romantic huts right on the beach.

[@l.hansson1143]

​@@tfhmobilup to her. Do not underestimate your Thai girlfriend they are full of surprises, last night my girlfriend made a scrumptious fish dinner from Korat. Excellent. No Covid condoms needed!

[@marcinkopka3641]

Don't do this to us, it's Autumn in Ireland and we're locked up again. I recommend Bootle beach in Ko Phangan, it is always quieter there. Oh no, it's calmer everywhere now. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@Flights-gq8po]

Chris......No words left...... Thank you.... Here in Florida waiting for my turn but we have a very inept and imbecile President that is helping Covid19 add about 60,000 cases a day here in our country.

Amazing is definitely the word for this place, my only issue would be how expensive food and drinks are at the resort, and is there other food places or bars nearby. Great vid 😀😀

[@RetiredWorkingForYou]

lots of other food and bar options nearby (as this is located right in choeng mon which has a little beach road with restaurants/bars)

Chris, where could a person rent an villa, etc long term that's close to that beach? How much monthly?

@@bigbisket1 lots of places. totally depends on your budget. the best way to go about it is to start with a budget and work from there. how many people/how many bedrooms needed/monthly budget?

[@annamarczak7122]

Thank you very much for the great videos on your YT canal. They're absolutely fantastic! As for the Melia resort, YES, it's incredible, BUT only for families with CHILDREN! I stayed there for a couple of days and really regretted it. I paid a lot of money, so the hotel was costly compared to similar hotels in the same category. UNFORTUNATELY, the KID CLUB and its swimming pools are in the middle of the resort, and there is NO chance to avoid the children's NOISE during all days! I should be honest here, If anyone wants to relax and rest OR work online, I would NEVER RECOMMEND this place! I was HAPPY when I left the hotel for a cosy, beautiful, peaceful one on Koh Samui island. It was a waste of money and time in your recommended hotel. Sorry to mention my opinion, but I want to express my authentic opinion about this place. And of course, It does not mean that I will stop watching your fantastic YT videos. :) . I love them!
