Hi from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We wait with baited breath for your next vid and save it to watch over breakfast in the morning. Great way to start the day! Beautiful Koh Tao can’t wait to return sometime soon. You are hitting all our spots and giving us some wonderful memories 😍 We were just reminiscing about the coconut weather board and there you were...coconut gone...typhoon! Hilarious 😂 Love 💓 all your vids...and thank you...it means a lot to all of us not there just at the moment! 😎

[@SideTripLife]

Thx jac mac, hope you and yours can return here soon, things are looking up. cheers

[@daytriker]

Watched several of your videos & don't find them boring at all. I like their authenticity.

[@SideTripLife]

@daytriker much appreciated, thank you

[@whaleshrimp111]

I used to spend the winter at Ochai's bungalows back when Papa Ochai was still alive 20 something years ago. The second from the far end right on the beach. What a time it was!

[@marqui1968]

…… again , just love checkin’ things out with you on Koh Phangan. Feel like I’m actually there for a little while 😭🇦🇺 If only. I wish …… I sure know where I’m staying 👌 “Hut Sun”🌸❤️

[@robinharvey521]

Great video. Always enjoy seeing your content.

[@sunchildtine]

love your videos, SidetripLife. watching it in the living room is a form of joy, especially now that most of us cannot travel and live in restrictions. afterall, we don't subscribe to satellite tv anymore. it is just Netflix or KZbin.

[@finn9531]

Another great video! make em as looong as you can :D

[@yingsthaicookinghome2839]

Sairee looks so tranquil and peaceful right now. And the sunsets are priceless... So incredibly beautiful... Need to visit Koh Tao again 🥰Greetings from Samui

[@SideTripLife]

Yinnnggg! I was just commenting on your latest video and here you are commenting on mine 555! Any looking in, for a taste of traditional Thai fare (& a smile:) pls click on 'Ying's Thai Cooking Home' channel/name above. Also, can see our meetup on Samui here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWHWdX1sma2LpNE

Love it~ Rode the BERING SEA For 10+ Years & I'd DIG THIS*

[@harshalgodambe4633]

😁Loved the way you word played with "KohVid"

[@rolandet]

'view's not bad either' he says..... Meanwhile the weather forecast for The Netherlands for the next 14 days: grey skies and raining 😒 Watched till the end (ofcourse!!)

[@joesweeney5197]

Same here in the UK and with no fuel 🥴

[@jeffcahill5722]

A few years ago in Phuket we took a day long trip to Phi Phi. The guy warned us that the trip would be unusually rough, but not being a boat guy I sat up at the front for a better view. I thought my back would break! About half way there I gave up and moved to the back, which was fine. I had no idea it made a difference, but yeah.... Also, I'm with everyone here in saying long vids are great. I love to watch your vids with my morning coffee. Hope I'll be there in the next 5-6 weeks.

[@mingin5718]

Just fantastic as always, love the length, could do longer as far as l'm concerned. Your videos make me want to be there already. I will be staying this winter on pretty much the same budget, who cares what people might say. I will ' take this time like a rebirth so allt the tips and the walks and stops are just a f.. great way to gain time, when it' s time for me to come. You are funny, you like animals and you are doing a great job at editing. I thank you for those videos. Merci

[@tonynguyen5362]

Saw your video last year, finally came to Koh Tao Sairee beach, beautiful location, nice walking/bikes street, ate at Sairee restaurant twice, great food.

[@ingemarjohnsson9660]

Long and interesting, pleasent video ☺️👍🇸🇪

[@mickwhittaker7070]

Loved the reference to Charlies Huts. I loved that place. In the early 2000s my wife and I used to frequent the bar and eatery on the beach. Very sketchy electrics including an Al Fresco tv ! I believe it is now the Buri Rasa hotel. My friend had a bar roadside which is now derelict 😕😕

[@nealweeks6632]

Thank you for producing. Good night. lol

[@LEObondTraveller]

I thought you would be staying at that great second floor Koh Samui Villa forever not wanting to go anywhere else ever again ... But that's Thailand, thousands of quaint little places to stay ... I'd be flicking the Bangkok condo ... yes thousands more "bars" but there's nothing quite like beachside living with a dozen or so friendly bars scattered amongst the coconut palms nearby. That's living.

[@Info-Med]

Great review, THX

[@ian-uk4570]

Hi, yes I watched it all 👍 tbh I always watch your vlogs through out no matter of the length.lol..keep good work up.. I'm very envious of you. 👍 Best wishes

[@SideTripLife]

Thanks kindly Ian

[@SheilaS-pn5bt]

Very enjoyable and informative video; we watched on the 75” tv right to the end! Thanks so much for these!

[@jampasurprenant1794]

Absolutely amazing beautiful scenery of the Beaches I would love to be there.

[@tchalla9917]

25 minutes is worth it 👌

Great video as per usual! Make them as long as you like! Just so envious as we head into winter here in the UK! Keep us dreaming!

[@joezip6389]

I enjoy your videos very much, once travel opens up they will be very helpful for a long term trip planing.

[@SideTripLife]

Thanks Joe. Things are looking up for trip planning, here's hoping better news Nov 1 regarding less restrictions.

[@electrotype_]

It's a meditation looking at those videos.

[@heatherdavies1894]

Just love your videos, keep them coming, the longer the better in my opinion.

[@SideTripLife]

[@daniblanco7303]

Hey, Thank you for refreshimg my memories about my trip to Koh Tao in Jan 2020, a few days beforw covid srung. I stayed at ocean Blue jus opposite Cliff resort. Sent 10 fantastic days enjoying the quietness of the island. Great to revive it, but sad to see the state the shops are still in. Hope we can go back asoon again. Keep safe and thanks for your images.

[@SideTripLife]

Thx for sharing your memories Dani & things are looking up to make new ones, hang in there!

[@FINEURBANART]

[@MiamiVise305]

Hey! Great vid as always. I watched it all, and I have to say I love these more lengthy ones:) Btw, I'm working on being able to work from home (internet) and as soon as it's legit, me and my dog are moving to Thailand. Just letting you know that your videos were my inspiration for this!:) Can't wait for the next one, enjoy your stay at Mama Ochai's, looks amazing.

[@coryjackson3131]

Very cool video I hope you can talk about the scuba schools and what they're like

[@heff2908]

Reminds me of windy huts on Samui when I was young and handsome. Around 3. us/nite for the fan bungalows. Don't think ac was even an option.

[@joesweeney5197]

Charlie’s huts chaweng beach 1999 fawlty towers bar then onto Reggae bar seems a thousand years ago 🌴🌞

[@longdatedoptionsleaps6112]

I lived on Koh Tao for 9 months in 2011 …. Great little island, lots of great spots to eat and drink. I’m not big on living on the beach, i opted for a villa up in the hills, fantastic views of the island. I recall the best coffee IMO on the island was a cafe right on the corner when u disembark from the standard ferry, i wish i could remember the name, it was opposite a small local nick nack and souvenir shop called Tui Place, they use to hold the daily BKK Post for me so that i could read it while having my morning coffee, u could also see all the new tourist arrivals disembark from the ferry.

[@ayroau]

Amazing content, thank you, with lovable Canadian touch. Only thing missing is more contact with local women that we admire so much :)

[@robbielittle52]

Watched all …..enjoyed. RobbieLondon

[@bill1806]

Great video shame you couldn't afford the South end. Never mind still living my dream.

[@SideTripLife]

Cheers Bill. Really liked that place and could have stayed there but sticking to a budget (or trying to, like most would on a 6 month or so walkabout;)

[@jonasjohnsson4429]

I grew up in the large forests in northern Sweden. But I like big waves. The best boat trip I had was when our employer arranged a trip with rib boats. They are really fast and used by some armys around the world. I stood at the front and the boat and we jumped and bumpded, but it was great fun!

[@SideTripLife]

Tack Jonas. I grew up on the coast of 'super-natural' British Columbia and was blessed with both :) Also love boats!

[@eddies8174]

Hope youre going to show us other beaches places to eat etc:)

[@SideTripLife]

For sure, much more

[@eddies8174]

Great video as always but you need to increase volume for all your videos:)

haha! Loved it! Mama Ochai too ;)

You should do 60 min vids on your Patreon I'd definitely be willing to pay for long content.

[@ericroang685]

The cat spoke good english.

[@mattstakes7047]

I envy you!!

[@jasperdemann5936]

I miss it, but I'll be going somewhere else with fewer restrictions, no SHA/quarantine/compulsory testing, and where I don't have to pay 100€ every month for scam insurance. Stay safe!

[@tummytalk605]

If you're afraid of stray/feral dogs then Thailand probably isn't the place for you. The Thais take care of them and most of them are quite good. Sometimes they will hassle you or give you a growl but I have never seen them bite.

[@cassytapper8886]

Looks amazing, it's the only island out of the 3 that I haven't visited, still on my list. Are you making your way back to Bangkok now?

[@SideTripLife]

Koh Tao well worth the extra jaunt for sure. Can start from Chumpon and night ferry to Surat Thani if not wanting to do the 3 isle hop. Would then head to Khanom if it were me;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/enOqhWeunbF9o7M&t Yes, Bangkok content coming soon (after a couple more KT vids)

[@cassytapper8886]

@@SideTripLife Have overnighted in both Chumphon and Khanom and would definitely like to get back to both areas and explore more. Looking forward to Bangkok vids, although will you stop on the way up to Bangkok at places like Prachuap Khiri Khan (would love to see how this has changed since my last visit) and Hua hin - also Amphawa is worth a visit : )

[@paulgibbo72]

Kii neou (sticky 💩) is Thai for being tight fisted. Used for anyone. The Thai for a foreign traveler on a small small budget is, farang kii nok (bird 💩 farang) Nice vids keep ‘em coming 👍🏻

[@pjmac2102]

BTW, I always watch your videos on my big screen TV. But I can't comment there, so must do so on my computer (where I do not watch it again). Not sure if that messes up your stats with KZbin or not. If so, I could just let it run on my computer too.

[@SideTripLife]

YT does rate by 'avg view duration' but I'm just pleased and slightly amazed anyone watches any duration :)
