Our First Day in THAILAND - Phuket Paradise

[@clarisekylander]

Hey Joel! Can you please make a video guide on travelling plans? Like getting health insurance, getting around having to show proof of a round trip ticket, having cash in Indonesia and all that. I’m busy planning my first overseas travel and everything seems so confusing! 😂

[@joshclevely7656]

Pleaseeeee

[@BonanzaRoad]

Great video! Leaves me wanting more! It feels like I was there in Thailand with you! I look forward to the next one! Excellent production values, by the way…

[@Joelfriend]

Thanks so much Jeff, always appreciate your support! Lots more drone shots and hopefully better production coming soon!

[@BonanzaRoad]

@@Joelfriend I have been meaning to ask you if you book your own travel and accommodation arrangements or do you go through a travel agency or online travel service? I know you do a lot of research… But do you handle all travel related stuff on your own?

[@lucyh2029]

I was literally thinking earlier that you two should start a youtube channel then it came up haha, love the content

[@Joelfriend]

Awww no way that’s awesome! Well there will be lots more videos of us travelling over the next 6 months and beyond

[@guyanonymous308]

Great videos, Joel. My family and I are off to Phuket Thailand next November and we're super excited. Thanks for the informative videos.

[@martinjackson8177]

Been loving your videos whilst planing an open-ended trip to SEA starting in September, Joel! I think you should do a Q&A video with questions from your audience. I’m interested to understand if you need a licence/what experience you had with motorbikes before travelling and if you’ve faced any issues with onward travel out of any countries.

[@tuhinmukherjee4806]

You are a great story teller. Love the way you have narrated everything. Keep growing. ❤️ from India . 🇮🇳

[@Joelfriend]

Aww thank you so much, such a lovely comment! Thank you man!

[@monicam7980]

Love love loved this video! Such a high quality production yet sincere look into travel - thanks for the awesome content

[@kongsawatbyni349]

Thanks from Thai people. Your video is the best way to present Thailand. 🌹🌹🌹

[@simontasker4554]

Im in Phuket and Patong in 3 weeks! So watching your vids n taking notes.

[@Joelfriend]

No way that’s awesome, thanks man and enjoy your time in Thailand!

[@MillaExplores]

Great video! Love the drone footage 🤩

[@Joelfriend]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the drone stuff was great fun flying around the beaches!

[@jamie6373]

Loved the video! I somehow can’t believe that you don’t have more subscribers???

[@Joelfriend]

Jamie mate, that means a lot, maybe one day if I’m lucky! 😊

[@wallywombat164]

I rememer when Patong was like that. Clear, clean and magnificant. Enjoy.

[@chomsengdara9649]

Great video! Miss Phuket so much! Nice to see you’re trying local foods.

[@koyitti4027]

[@archiec8391]

[@EscapingWife2020]

Welcome to thailand

[@jenihoneyman1194]

When’s the packing video coming!!? Loving the blogs

[@Joelfriend]

I’ll be honest, we still need to film it at some point, we’ve been very busy!

[@3lolrenz3]

Do you just leave your stuff on the beach when going in the water? Will it not get stolen?

[@LM76YU]

This accounts gonna blow I swear

[@Joelfriend]

Ahaha I wish maybe one day!

[@hattieleach2158]

Really liked the drone shots, I’m inspired to get one now for when I go travelling. How did you make sure no one took the mopeds when you went on the beach?

[@Joelfriend]

Aw thank you so much, a drone is a great way of capturing the landscape! I took the key of the moped and locked the front wheel.

[@Joelfriend]

It’s very very u likely to be stolen anyway as they are everywhere in Thailand

[@sharonc3828]

Im thinking of renting a scooter in Phuket, where did you get yours? Any recommended places?

[@OMURTOPARLI]

You are a very good couple, I love you very much, you complement each other and you travel wonderful places, it is a pleasure to watch you, thank you very much.

[@paulklt]

So beautiful and water so clear, unlike patong beach.

[@Joelfriend]

Yeah the water is so clear at freedom beach it’s insane!!

[@clarisekylander]

Great video! Can you please make a video on your camera gear?

[@Joelfriend]

I have already done one here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZC8cmyAeruJaLc

[@kinudorn9669]

Just subscribe ,Welcome to Thailand we love you!!

[@Joelfriend]

Aw thank you very much, I’m very happy to be here!

3:15 PINKY IS TOO SWEET!💗💕

[@Joelfriend]

Ahaha I know right!

[@thikshayadav9188]

Which beaches u went to in this video?

[@corruptium6423]

Videos are actually very helpful me and my gf are heading out there next week for the month. How did you meet Josh and kadie? Trying to meet as many people out there as possible, and staying in some hostels in Bangkok to begin with

[@Joelfriend]

I met Josh and Keady off Instagram we had never met them before, staying in hostels is a great place to meet people!

[@suayhughes8103]

Amazing! So beautiful

[@ben.murphy]

Was it a police checkpoint the other way you didn’t go? If so is it because they will try and fine you? Headed there in July and haven’t rented a scooter over there before any tips?

[@Joelfriend]

So yeah it’s a police checkpoint, and it’s all a bit of scam they make you pay 250 Baht and will find any excuse for you to pay, but as far as I know this only happens in Phuket!

[@jeddee3820]

Left the phuket mainland if u want to see stunning beaches of thailand. Explore and search. Ill give u one go to similan island

[@Joelfriend]

Yeahh we are in the islands now and doing the whole of Thailand!

[@sammyers8858]

planning to go there next year! Regarding hotels, do you stay in the same one each night? If you stay in the same hotel for more than one day then do you book it per night or for a certain time at the start?

[@Joelfriend]

We did the sandbox program and we stayed in the same hotel for 7 nights

[@bonnsarawood3787]

the road at 8:11 at the exact spot where u r filming, there was a car accident a long time ago. a bunch of people died there. children and women.

[@phiromrithisak]

Look great menu food yummy 👍👍🎉🎉 good luck!!

[@Joelfriend]

Always got to love the food here!

[@sheisatraveller2693]

Joel what's it like over there with all the covid restrictions? is it still cheap or have have prices risen since covid

[@Joelfriend]

I think it’s about the same to be honest, some places are cheap like hotels and guesthouses to get people to stay with them!

[@demetridoes]

this video editing looks crazy professional

[@Joelfriend]

Aww thank you so much 😊

[@dattitoo]

What GoPro-Setup are you using?

[@Joelfriend]

Hi there sorry this isn’t related to the video but I will be solo travelling Thailand in June and was wondering if you or anyone watching the video knows of any online groups/ chats where solo travelling can talk to each other? Thanks, Mason

[@Joelfriend]

Yess, look up the official travel Squad, they are exactly what you are looking for, I met the guy who created it a week ago and it’s amazing! You’ll meet lots of people!
