Is This Thailand's Best Island? Koh Phayam Was Amazing

[@ASBlondontravel]

How amazing what a view what a beach ⛱️ amazing video thank you 👍

[@ParkinsonRaw]

It was a beautiful Island mate and so quiet👌🏻

[@Topboy12345]

Thanks for the vid again Richy. It's like the 'Lonely Plant' book 25 years ago, when there was no other way to travel without help 👏

[@ParkinsonRaw]

@@Topboy12345 thanks Steve, I loved Phayam it was like an island going back in time mate.

[@ASBlondontravel]

Very nice video so I smashed the like 👍

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Thank you👍🏻

[@pat9859]

Looks an amazing island 👍

[@ParkinsonRaw]

It was class Pat, right up there as one of my favourites💯👌🏻

[@KF-cx8bm]

Chicken, Beef , Pork and Lamb all contain the emzymes that can cause gout, so all should be eaten in moderation. The island looks the PERFECT place to relax and take a break from life, I think a trip to the Island should be on the NHS 🤣 Looking forward to more uploads

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Thank you, I always thought it was just red meat. 🤣💯it definitely should be, it was so relaxing.

[@quackersna]

7:55 you know you're in a small island community when the road looks like a sidewalk. My kind of place. 👍

[@ParkinsonRaw]

There was a lot of roads like that mate, zero cars too. It was great👌🏻

[@cryptoisthewaytogo]

14:51 another beautiful place for a thumbnail or instagram post

[@ParkinsonRaw]

I think that’s when I did the current one, I also got a good shot for Fb and Instagram. Thanks

[@kartoffelkeks29]

Thanx from Berlin, Germany. Very nice ❤

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Thank you mate💯👍🏻🇩🇪

[@PATThaiA]

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Thank you

[@lifewme1205]

Looks so nice 👌🏻

[@ParkinsonRaw]

It is a beautiful island Craig, so relaxing and quiet surprisingly👌🏻

[@wayneleader2364]

I am so glad you loved phayam it is my favorite island

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Thanks Wayne, it was great mate.

[@fionapickering6389]

Yeah I was there December 2018 for 2 weeks, stayed at Rasta house. Loved it, best kept secret lol

[@ParkinsonRaw]

@@fionapickering6389 it is lovely isn’t it, and might have to return soon😎

[@anthonyclarke7942]

Great island that mate, will definitely be having a visit sometime this year. Can't believe how quite it was,this weekend in jomtien been to busy, Chinese new year.

[@ParkinsonRaw]

It was a lovely island mate, especially in high season I couldn’t believe how quiet it was. They’ll all be leaving Jomtien today. As it was a bank holiday for the Thai’s.

[@grahamcullen100]

How quiet is it at night Richy? Much as I love places like this, sometimes I find them a bit too sleepy if travelling solo. I first discovered Thailand in 1990 and this island certainly takes me back to Thai Island life then. Cheers Bud!

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Hi Graham, it was really quiet mate. The places round near where I was staying closed at 9.30/10pm. I was beautiful but very sleepy. Thanks mate

[@peter.schott5968]

Phayam & Krabi vids Brilliant Richy… what a view from the top of Tiger Cave Temple - magical

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Hi Peter, they are both amazing places mate. I do personally prefer the rural areas but these are beautiful destinations in the South. The tiger temple was well worth the climb too, the 360 degree views were insane. Thanks.

[@gregorythomasfitness]

It's worth the wait to see this beautiful place, but I feel your frustration in getting content out. You know you're remote when there are no 7-11's 🤣 I wonder why the fly's are there, but not much elsewhere 🤔 What a gorgeous little beach spot, and SO quiet, and it's high season to boot!! Yes agree, this is the place to be in Thailand. Even if you lived in Thailand, you would come here for a long weekend or a break from the world.

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Hi Greg, it was a beautiful island but yes the age old problem of WiFi. That’s the price you pay I suppose, at least with a 7/11 I can plug into there. It wasn’t to be. I’ve no idea about the flies but that was highly noticeable. If is a great place to come definitely if you live here mate💯

[@maryziggy8802]

Good to see your vlogs back

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Thank you Mary

[@JuneOyston]

I was starting to get worried glad your ok sounds like you've had a bit of well needed chill time. What a beautiful place stunning views and a lovely beach. Yep I agree about the bikes and no helmets we came of a bike a few years ago battered and bruised gave us a wake up call 😊

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Thank you June, I’m fine just the old age WiFi issues. Yes I think it takes an accident for people to wake up unfortunately. They were many western people carrying babies it was crazy😊

[@cryptoisthewaytogo]

Hello Richy, I hope you having a wonderful day

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Hi mate, I had a bit of a nightmare when I returned to Bangkok but I’m ok now thanks mate. Just woke up after a good sleep.

[@cryptoisthewaytogo]

@@ParkinsonRaw it’s 8:04 pm here.. watching UFC fights lol

[@ParkinsonRaw]

@cryptoisthewaytogo I used to do that a lot back home. Crazy start fight times

[@reefsurfing3273]

G'day Richy, been waiting for your next vlog, thought it would take a while to get your vlog out since the wi-fi isn't the best, very much looking forward to seeing this 💯👍.

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Thank you Darren, the island was great I loved it there👌🏻

[@juliejohnson835]

richy, were you drunk or stoned on the boat trip back ? love it !!!

[@ParkinsonRaw]

@@juliejohnson835 lol neither from what I can remember Julie I very rarely drink and never on a travel day I like to keep a clear head. Probably a little sunstroke from being on the island.

[@cryptoisthewaytogo]

28:30 just beautiful

[@ParkinsonRaw]

It was amazing mate

[@iandann8788]

the scenery is stunning ,the weather is great (never drops below 23/24 C, with highs in the mid 30's) ,it's dirt cheap and in general the folk are nice . TAT should employ me

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Haha they should mate. It was amazing I loved it there.

[@cryptoisthewaytogo]

5:25 cool place, would make a good thumbnail

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Thanks, I might switch it mate.

[@thaibillyboy]

Hi Richy, stunning looking island, just a thought, if the mosquito bites you get get one of those nasal inhalers from 7-11 they are called Poy-Sian then unscrew the bottom of it and there is a little bottle of liquid, just dab that on the bite and it will stop the itching, cheers and enjoy, thanks.

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Hi Billy, it was a class island mate. Thanks I’ll check that out, I use tiger balm that works really good too.

[@cabovermike]

I’ve used one of those, it is very similar to tiger balm but the little liquid part is great for mozzy bites, leaves a green stain but soothes it no end,.

[@ParkinsonRaw]

@cabovermike I’ll have a look Mike, I usually try and keep away from chemicals and as far as aware tiger balm is mostly natural. It works great too

[@billybilly7440]

Hi Richy looks like stepping back in time stunning .Any ladies around for evening entertainment ?

[@ParkinsonRaw]

It was beautiful mate, I never ventured in the little village on a night but I never seen any girly bars.

[@cabovermike]

He's forgetting the thai lovely who stopped her motorbike and offered him a lift !...

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Ha I was meaning girly bars. I keep away from the girls they often breed trouble.

[@michaelbroadley5676]

On approaching Koh Phayam by boat it looks like a small whale. A good place to be with a Girl Friday...🏝

[@ParkinsonRaw]

It was awesome mate, so quiet and relaxing too💯

[@Bolton1975Mark]

Mate that place is amazing. I’d retire there 😂

[@ParkinsonRaw]

It was beautiful Mark, unbelievably quiet too considering its high season😎

[@YomijnMe]

This island is a great place to relax - and the lack of wifi is actually good on one hand - but not for uploading blogs of course - John from Manchester Legend) 🎉

[@ParkinsonRaw]

It was lovely Yomijn, very peaceful mate💯😎

[@VloggingALife]

Hi buddy

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Hiya Dale👍🏻

[@VloggingALife]

@@ParkinsonRaw im feeling rough bad cough and throat lot of flu going about !

[@ParkinsonRaw]

@VloggingALife ffs, winter in the UK sucks mate. Get well soon

[@VloggingALife]

@@ParkinsonRaw it does !

[@TimK2646]

Morning Richy - how do you get to enjoy each day without family or LGBT Friends ?

[@ParkinsonRaw]

I talk to my friends a lot mate, also all of the comments off you guys are amazing.

[@visioncreator1021]

We are all trying to hide this place. Your not helping.

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Haha I’m not the biggest influencer. I love it here, my home in Thailand

[@pat9859]

No 7-11 s no Electralites

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Yes mate, a had a few banana’s a day as a substitute.

[@cabovermike]

Your old manc mate has all the traits of a farang who's bored shitless and stuck on a hidey hole island with a leo for company untill you came along, i would imagine that island is an "overstayers" heaven, ?. i would guess 2/3 nights would be enough for most normal folk, i dont think that you did the island justice, rent a motorbike for a day and you could of bossed it, an extra video was missed i feel .I'm being critical here but you got the "beer goggles" on a bit to much on this one richy, i know its all to easy to get caught up in the moment but do it off camera, cheers,.

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Hi Mike, yes he was in a day in day out routine. I would have stayed longer and got a bike but I just haven’t got the capacity to store more footage. The vlog unloaded there took about 10 hours just to upload to KZbin. I can’t be putting my equipment through that unfortunately. I’m not a drinker it hits me just having one never mind two. In three days I had 5 bottles.

[@ParkinsonRaw]

I do know what you mean about keeping off camera, thanks Mike.
