What a great video 😍.What a lovely island. Can’t believe Kathy’s Coffee, that looked just the best “coffee shop” ever. Highlight of the video is at 14:02, loved that, made me chuckle 😆😂👍. Glad to see you both well, & as always, looking forward to the next one

[@KristyandSteve]

Thank you Adz!!! Always appreciate your support and encouragement 🙏🥰

@@KristyandSteve Yes indeed. Very grateful every day!

[@23magic]

That’s my friends’ house at 10:09!! I’ve been there too. It’s awesome.

[@KristyandSteve]

What a beautiful place to live! Our favourite part of the whole island ❤️

Great vid guys, heading to Samui next month, thinking of hiring a car for a couple of days to explore the island as well. What’s the parking like ? Particularly in the busier areas, any tips? Thanks in advance

[@KristyandSteve]

Hello! we absolutely recommend hiring a car, so many interesting parts of the island to explore. Parking wasn't an issue thankfully. Have a great time & Thanks for watching ☺️

[@nezza086]

Totally agree that the north area (Mae Nam, Bo Phut) area is vastly superior to the Chaweng/Lamai area - unless you want party central chaos. There’s some fantastic on the beach restaurants around Mae Nam. We’re into our fifth day here, now moved to Choengmon, but should have stayed up around Mae Nam. Anyway we have hired a car for our stay - a total must to get the most out of a Samui holiday. Visited Lipa Noi yesterday, you can park at the end of that road right at the beach! Enjoyed your video, btw sounds like you both have Kiwi accents!?

[@KristyandSteve]

Agree, a car is an absolute must to get out and explore the rest of the island as it differs quite a lot from area to area. We have been told we sound British or American , never had kiwi though (which is bizarre as its the closest to our actual aussie accents 🤣) . Thank you for watching & taking the time to comment, we appreciate it 🥰

You guys NEED to go to Pi Samui Beach club. It will blow you away

[@KristyandSteve]

Just had a google - looks amazing, right up our alley! We've left the island unfortunately 😣...next time. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@chuonguyen123]

Let us know your favourite part of Koh Samui! 🏝️

[@tjshan]

Been coming to Samui for the last 17 years. Discovered Chengmon Beach this year! Blown away

[@KristyandSteve]

We'll have to go there next time ☺️ Thanks for watching!

[@ginaperks1720]

My sort of travel…. Will be in my beach front bungalow on Bang Po beach in a week. Car hire is the way to go for me too. On average 60 tourists die in motorbike accidents every month on Ko Samui/Phangan/Tao! (Even experienced riders need to deal with all the newbie’s on the road).

[@KristyandSteve]

Have a great time, Gina! You have chosen the PERFECT spot on Bang Po Beach, absolute bliss! 🏝️🙌🏼

[@garrya7576]

Koh Samui has its vibe but no need to make it look like some sort of unimaginable paradise. Some areas are pretty basic. Bear in mind that the island is not as picturesque as those drone videos and photoshopped photos show. It's ok to go there and stay for a while. It depends on what the one appreciates. And make sure your wallet is packed with those banknotes. You'll need way more than you think. Watch out for those bike rentals. Last time I went there during the virus craze and I got a deluxe bungalow in a 5-star place for a mere thousand baht per night. Koh Phangan is way more picturesque.

[@KristyandSteve]

Its definitely got some beautiful areas thats for sure. Like most places all over the world, there are less appealing spots (obviously). We don't photoshop ANY of our footage. Lighting, angles and a bright sunny day play a huge part but zero photoshop - we dont even have the software 😂 Koh Phangan is STUNNING!!! We loved it there

[@garrya7576]

@@KristyandSteve Sure. I didn't mean you photoshopped anything but I meant the photos the one might find on the net. Your videos are genuine. I actually like the vibe there. May pay a visit. It's only a few hour drive from me.

[@FrodeNilsson-jj5gn]

Samui was an island paradise 25-30 years ago. Sadly, not so much anymore.

[@KristyandSteve]

bet it was incredible back then! We were happy with our experience. Thank you for watching 🥰
