Been to Siam well over 20 times for months at a time, and never been to Ko Lanta. GORgeous video! TWO stunning aspects of it: The GREAT Beauty of your surroundings -- and -- The remarkable social emptiness of the entire scene there currently. It has seemed so obvious that Bangkok and side trips from it are definitely coming back to life .. and yet .. here you are walking on a 4KM beach and sitting in a sizable cafe, with not a single other soul on/in them. Sooo crazy!!! -- Thanks so much for your great video creations .. it really is like riding around with you, in a most wonderful way! Take care!

News coming out of Thailand is that there is a high possibility that the 2nd PCR test on day 5 is going to get dropped and a few other changes as well. Maybe then these fantastic places you share with us will become a full paradise again.

I was on Koh Lanta before Covid hit in early 2020. Lovely island, but the week I spent on Koh Jum was even more special. Would totally recommend KJ if you get a chance - it's a short boat trip away from KL, but feels like a different world.

David if i want to go directly to Koh Jum is it closer from Krabi or Trang? Was the sand whiter n water more turquoise n clear in Koh Jum compared to Koh Lanta?
@David-le7jy2 жыл бұрын
@@eddies8174 hi Eddie. Koh Jum has a few nice beaches, the water is clear enough, but it's not the best in the area. The main selling point is that it's very low key, very chilled. If you like quiet, KJ is for you. Parties and clubs etc are non existent. You can get there on the Krabi Koh Lanta ferry. It stops near the main beach and your bungalow will send out a long tail to pick you up. I stayed at Jungle Hill beach bungalow which had nice traditional thai bungalow. The beach there is nice. Hope this helps??

Dear Gabriel and his lovely girlfriend, hi I want to thank you so much for your nice vlog of Lanta. I'm actually planning to visit Lanta at next year. Since it is a Muslim majority island it would be just great for me being able to enjoy all their HALAL Foods n drinks, since all those years in Thailand's experiences was only watching all the yummy Thai foods but mostly are "piggy stuffs added". Sounds super n it looks much calmer than Samui and all other islands. Very much looking forward to Koh Lanta. Wishing you both safety and more fulfilling trips ahead, Inshaa'Allah. Stay SAFE in India although it's my no. 2 favorite lands, but watch out hygiene and clean water. All.the very best ! p.s. you look good in any color hairs, beauty comes from within ! I think you've got a good character

Hi there Gabi 🤗 your channel is just amazing and deserves more attention 🙏🏼 it gives me so much positive Energie ☺️ I appreciate your positive spirit , your nice recommendations and i love to see you and your beautiful lady so happy and sweet together 💞💞💞💞 you deserve each other and I wish you nothing but the very best. May your dreams always come true 💫✨🌟 My husband and I will be in Thailand for our honeymoon in march and are so looking forward to it. Due to corona and the whole situation we booked in Phuket and want to have a nice relaxing but also want to see the best Isles and areas in and around Phuket . Do you have any recommendation where we should start ? We haven’t booked our stays yet. There are 3 weeks left and we want to apply for the Thailand pass. We aren’t sure where to start it’s our first time in Thailand , specifically in Phuket we didn’t know were the best area would be. We wanted to start in a nice honeymoon worthy area , see some nice sights and the beaches of course and than do isle hopping. We have 3 weeks . 7 days for Phuket and 14 more for the rest. Also at the end of our honeymoon my hubby has his birthday I wanted to do something special for him. Do you have some ideas ? I am sooo exited and want this trip to be very special ✨💫 maybe your experience would help I would appreciate it so so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 My heart melted when you kissed your lovely lady on her cheek it seems That you both have a very strong bond and deep love for each other 💞✨🥰

Dear Mi Na, thank you very much for your kind words and it’s great to know that you are spending your honeymoon in Thailand. ☀️🇹🇭 Phuket is a great way to start your vacation. Some nice areas might be Kamala beach or Kata beach, but there are so many options and great locations in Phuket. For the island hopping, definitely consider Phi Phi island, Racha island and Krabi province (Railay beach, Koh lanta...). Right now I am in Koh Lipe and this is paradise too :) But to change things up a bit I would recommend also to visit the Samui, phangan and Koh Tao. On my channel you can find many video all around Thailand and they can give you some ideas of what you want to visit... I also have some fancy hotel reviews 😉 I wish you the best for you and your husband 🙏🏻
