My name is Brian but everyone calls me Greeny. I retired in January of 2020 after working 30 years in Law Enforcement. I wanted to retire young enough to be able to do some of the things I always dreamed about! I knew I wanted to travel extensively and retire somewhere warm and exotic I sampled a ton of places in the Caribbean, Panama, Colombia, Turkey but set my sights on Thailand.

[@SharpiesAdventures]

Me and my mom are moving to thailand soon! Thanks for all the amazing info greeny!

[@GreenyTravels]

Awesome!! Enjoy!!

[@user-bf9sk5wl5z]

Lived on Koh Chang from 2012 to 2016 ...best yrs of my 16 yrs in Thailand

[@GreenyTravels]

It’s awesome there

[@Luke-ri5fo]

I imagine this is what Phuket used to be like 40 years ago.

[@GreenyTravels]

Oh yea. Even more rural

[@BiteAdust4857]

My guess about those machine guns is that they are the relics from "Battle of Ko chang" which is the part of Franco-Thai War (1941).

[@GreenyTravels]

Ahhh. Thank you

[@realpropertymangement7640]

Visited Koh Chang in early October this year (2023). It was absolutely deserted, due to the rainy weather/off season. Most, not all, of the businesses seemed to be in disrepair and desperate. Still suffering the affects of the lockdown period. The islanders were very nice though. Felt bad for them, and gave large tips trying to help them out a bit. Reading The Thai Leaves on YT. 😊

[@GreenyTravels]

This place still bouncing back but it’s still a great island

[@user-tz6xf9mz4w]

Pretty cool 😎 Greeny!

[@GreenyTravels]

Thank you

[@hozayatlarge]

That's funny. I was on Koh Chang almost exactly one year ago. Had lunch at Annie P's a couple of times. The owner was pretty cool, from the U.S. right? Good burgers. He was friends with the owner of Tigglebitties in Pattaya, pretty much my go to for Western food. I missed that whole section in Bang Bao because there was an elderly woman standing exactly where you were yelling at everyone and trying to charge 200 baht to go in there 😄. Lonely Beach was pretty much deserted. Gret vid. Thanks for bringing back some good memories 👌

[@GreenyTravels]

Appreciate you watching.

[@andrewslifestyle2289]

Undiscovered destination for me to discover. Great views! Thanks!

[@GreenyTravels]

It’s an amazing island

[@paulcousins1371]

Great stuff señor, so many places to visit when you try, happy holidays✌🏿🥰🍾

[@GreenyTravels]

Thanks Paul

[@Goldfinger555]

Love how quiet Koh Chang is and not over run by tourists. Not sure if you saw the news recent that they had a fire down Lonely Beach street. Not sure about the amount of damage but it definitely burned a few of hose wooden buildings down the street.

[@GreenyTravels]

Oh. I bet. Easy to happen. So much old wood.

[@GerardoTrilobites]

Do you know that in sunny days , the UV risk factor to develop Skin cancer in Thailand is normally 12 over 12 ?. I would recommend wear some hat or protect from direct sun. I saw in your nose some red spot in a few videos already, be careful and try protect from the sun. I use to have something like that and it finish in a BCC.

[@GreenyTravels]

Thank you. 🙏

[@Slack-0]

Your Videos as a Single Individual are more Enjoyable!!!! Why is that True ???? 🎉

[@GreenyTravels]

Maybe I’m in a better mood if no one it Bitching at me 😝

[@richardsimpson7776]

Love seeing Koh Chang again. There is still some stuff further down where the main road ends. I plan on going back in June.

[@GreenyTravels]

My be my new go to island since I can drive

[@jimmyg4428]

Looks cool .. great idea with the maps to figure locations out. Ya - was in Phuket in ‘86 , so different and tiny compared to now. 👍

[@GreenyTravels]

Thanks Jimmy

[@tonedonovan3500]

I might be wrong but I as I remember the shrine is for a high rank person in the thai Navy. Think it's something written on a sign next where the stairs starts. I love Koh Chang - favourite is White Sands.

[@GreenyTravels]

Great spot

[@antonioperezosorio7647]

Interesting video. Annie P for sale? Those guns 8n the shrine? Excellent Greeny. Happy travels and stay safe. God bless you👍🏿.

[@GreenyTravels]

Thanks Antonio

[@Bigsky1886]

that is the perfect soundtrack for your vlog

[@GreenyTravels]

😂

[@Antandthegrasshopper]

Greeny... you get into trouble with stairs.. forgot the wasps? LOL!!

[@GreenyTravels]

lol. I will never forget

[@stephenharrison3051]

The area around Soi 5 Pratumnak takes some beating. You cannot beat it

[@GreenyTravels]

I like that area. Pratumnak

[@Ivan-cm6bz]

I've been there 2 times. My go to Thai island. Went to the ghost ship last time around. Unreal. Have you had a chance to discover the other side/cost? So different. Enjoyed your vlog🍻

[@GreenyTravels]

Thanks. I think I saw the ship last time

[@tmorril]

It's nothing like it was in its heyday, about 2015 to 2019.

[@GreenyTravels]

Definitely not

[@scotniver7180]

Bar Noise at night ? Boom boom Bass ?

[@winnerwinnerchickendinner8809]

If you did some research, that gunner is probably to prevent the Japanese land invasion

[@MrKansaitim]

The Thais cooperated with the Jpn. imperial army so likely not.

[@GreenyTravels]

No research on Greeny Travels. All fly by the seat of my pants

[@MrKansaitim]

Did you take the ferry down there Greeny?

[@GreenyTravels]

Yes. From Trat

[@derekwhoelse8359]

Thanks for your video! If I may give you a little advice, move your camera slower you wil have a much better result.

[@GreenyTravels]

Yea. I suck panning

[@SuperHfhgfh]

Like your videos but this one not show Koh Chang as beautiful as it is. Was there 3 week ago...like it a loot.

[@GreenyTravels]

Definitely a lot more to see there. I made some videos a few years back showing the other side of the island

[@Pucky-4345]

The Cool Kids know about it first go.

[@GreenyTravels]

I’m definitely not cool 😂.

[@brettharman3909]

I don't need to go to Thailand anymore. There are many Utuber's videos. There is nothing left to see. The adventure has been taken away.

[@GreenyTravels]

There is always something new here.

[@brettharman3909]

You are a good bloke greeny. 👍

[@711riddler]

Lol. Ward off the north koreans😂. If that was right next to Bang Bao pier. I think if you look on a map it shows a Thai Naval base.

[@ThailandBeyondTourism]

Your video is too fast , example when you entered lonely beach street didn't allow to see nothing and streets footage should be shot sometimes around afternoon or early evening so get better idea what places and life looks like in koh chang

[@ThatOneGuy-hp2pb]

Stop being coy Soi Green Doggy, how are the good bars?

[@GreenyTravels]

Tonight a short glimpse

[@djzrobzombie2813]

Do you get a Thai citizenship if you marry a Thai woman?

[@nils4409]

No way...

[@djzrobzombie2813]

​@@nils4409why ?

[@nils4409]

haha please ask the Thai government. Actually there is a "theoretical way" to get Thai citizenship. A German youtuber made a video about that. Takes many years. At the end of the process you have to sing Thai songs in perfect Thai in front of a jury. Go for it :)!

[@boogboog8097]

No, it makes getting residence easier. Citizenship is near impossible they are very protective protective against being colonised by mass immigration a big reason why I would live there it will never be islamised.

[@GreenyTravels]

Good answers. Definitely not a direct path

[@bazzaboy]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Ko_Chang , 1941 franco-thai war. I wonder if the naval shrine is related to that?

[@GreenyTravels]

Thank you.
