Beautiful, living the dream. Unfortunate for the locals but you have struck gold visiting paradise without all the tourists. Certainly an experience never to forget. Safe travels.

A beautiful spot , sad to see it quiet , but everyday is a day closer to normal again , as always quality video 🇦🇺🙏👍🍻

[@pokeaman1645]

What a great find and cheap as chips as well as %20 off food in the restaurant. A great place to spend a month just chilling and enjoying nature. Thank you for posting M

[@DanMcPierson]

Just that youve written the prices in different currencies deserves a thumbs up. GReat way to go beyond what the viewer expect. Love from Sweden.

[@sterlingforbes3872]

Me wondering why I'm paying 5K usd per month for a one bedroom in a cold city... should just sell all my stuff and live here for a year.

[@SideTripLife]

It certainly does look idyllic BUT just a word of caution if I may: ALWAYS come and stay in a desired area for a time FIRSTLY (say min 3 months, preferably 6) BEFORE committing/upping sticks or selling up. At the minimum to see if the 'ideal' actually suits one's lifestyle & expectations. Cheers!

[@sterlingforbes3872]

It still looks amazing! Visited Phangan more than 30 years ago .... there was nothing on that island then. Now it looks just like Kho Samui in the days of ´Lonely Planet´. Can´t blame anyone, though! "Times they are a changin".

[@captainkavi]

I lived on phangan on and off years - although its always quiet like this in the off season , its strange to see it like this in later December. The road to haadrin was all dirt when i first went and the beach was just bungalows with a tiny crossroads behind with a few small shops. i have a feeling they have plans to change haadrin completely when tourism comes back and possibly the whole of phangan will move towards higher end tourism. its such a beautiful and special place but has become far too busy recently and the kind of people visiting has changed a lot of course , i dont think the thais have enjoyed the last 10 years of change very much but the money was good so most of the families i know have done well but yearn for the quieter days and low season each year

[@YCS88]

My number One favorite island that most people do not go to when visiting Thailand. We stayed in the back of the island all the way opposite of the pier. Absolutely beautiful. Had the most fun of our lives there.

[@wanaraz]

6 years ago we visited about 5 different places in Thailand. This island by far was my favorite. We stayed in the back in a small village. At 10 at night we would get banana wraps with chocolate. In the morning ride scooters all day and go shopping or head to the beach. I could spend my life their easily.

[@SideTripLife]

Wonderful memories! Agree, KPG my fav as well. Will be returning soon to make an update

[@wanaraz]

@@SideTripLife Everyone goes to PhiPhi . It is a nice place to just visit. We were up on the hill so we had to lock the windows because the monkeys would come in and steal your stuff. Koh Samui is real nice. We went to a Thai Boxing match there. It's a must if you go. Thailand is a beautiful place. Yes there is some poverty but most people have some work. Now they legalized Cannabis. They will open the doors to more cash for Thai people. They really suffered during covid. But KPG has my heart. The island has something for everyone. Every side of it has a different flavor. It's probably the least visited in Thailand and that's why I love it. Our memories will last us a lifetime.

Great video, brings back memories! Stayed at Seetanu in 2019, beautiful place and beach! Pirate Bar, the closed place at the end of the video seems "destroyed", a storm perhaps. Used to be parties there and the beach was the dancefloor. Also used be a seating area on the rocks... LOVE the whole beach!

[@busguy149]

I really like your videos. I am from Calgary and have been to the full moon party!. I normally stay in Lamai Samui. When you go to Samui if you like beach bungalows pop into the Sea Breeze bungalow and say Hi to the owner Piya and his Sister Honey. If you don't mind saying hi to them from "Bill from Canada". They will know who that is and they are really good Thai people who have lived on the island all of their life. Safe travels

I went to this beach in March, because of this video. 2nd best beach on the Island IMO (Behind Thong Nai Pan Yai). We stayed at another but kept scootering over there each day. Even in 2024 in peak season, right behind all the trendy vegan places and coffee shops, it was so relaxing and hardly busy.

Great place to get away from it all and chill for a very long time. Last time I went to Thailand the tour boat capsized, so I can relate to your caution on the boat.

[@SideTripLife]

Unfortunately boats can capsize anywhere. Even in my native BC, whale watching tour boats have for example. Again, was meant as a general reference, just habit to be mentally aware thus better prepared in any situation. Also check the weather, if too rough, or boat looks overloaded, pass.
