How To Get To THAILAND'S ULTIMATE PARADISE? (Part 1)

Known as The Maldives of Thailand, this island might be Thailand's Ultimate Paradise and I'll show you how to get there in this video.
It's a road trip from Samui, through Phuket, onto a boat and then 5 hours later we arrive. This is the first in a series of videos where I will introduce you to the clearest water in all of Thailand.

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

This looks amazing, but what I love the most about this video is how happy the two of you look!

[@jomontanee]

IKR!!!! 🥰😊❣️

[@georgejobe961]

Glad to see some good old Brits enjoying their lives in Thailand. They are living the dream, as are you Chris!

[@ThailandThomas]

Looks like it was an epic trip to Koh Roc, just paradise! Love seeing your crazy smiling face Chris! Your mind bounces around like a ping bong ball. Makes me dizzy. Thanks for the awesome travel tips. Another great video, like always!

[@gerardwise67]

You nailed it 👏 Koh Haa is by far my favourite island in Thailand 🇹🇭 😍 for its natural beauty and pristine reefs. There's a good current that flows between the islands and it keeps the reef healthy. The location keeps the masses away! 😉 I've not been there since 2014 and it's great to see nothing has changed 😊 Once again you've taken us to paradise!! Looking forward to seeing more. 🙏

[@elvenrivendell5653]

Koh Rok and Koh Lipe are really beautiful. Many great diving spots nearby the islands. Missing the island vibes and the people over there. Just amazing!!! Chris, please do not forget to stop by the Elephant for the great brunch menu and the sunset drinks at the Zodiac!! Just amazing as always...

[@TheDonlum]

I second that.. both elephant restaurants are great

[@jrandallsexton]

+1 Zodiac is awesome!

[@ElBrandenBrazil]

I think a trip to Thailand is getting much closer. I cannot wait!

[@WanderlustReports]

I'm just amazed at the quantity of beautiful islands you get in the Andaman sea. And your video gives them absolute justice!

[@kevinandtanya2244]

👋🏻Hey Chris, Haylee, Pete, and Nina. Love the views! Can’t wait for the next series of videos at the new place your at. ♥️🇨🇦

[@HowToCureDepression]

Its' Koh Lipe :). Spent some great weeks here in 2011 and on the neighbouring island of Koh adang. Absolutely beautiful. Back in those days there was no ATMs on Koh Lipe, so you had come with a stack of baths in your backpack. I wonder if this has changed now

[@theo-sa6764]

That looks like a good fun trip to all this beautiful islands, cannot wait for the next video.

[@aggiet4545]

Stunning scenery. Thanks Chris for taking us on your journey to ....! Adding the islands to my places to visit list.

[@CalleP413]

I love Koh Lipe! But it has gotten a bit to developed the last years. Was there in 2010 and so much has changed since then. Back then there where no cars and almost no taxis and there where like 2-3 hotels with pools. But that’s Thailand for you and it’s still a lovely island! Make sure to bring your football shoes if you keen to play some, there is an artificial pitch where Thais and expats plays every night!

[@pursuitofexcitement]

Koh Kood has also been called the Maldives of Thailand - you should go there next!

[@jomontanee]

True!! Many Japanese vloggers fall in love with it.

[@tvtriviachampion]

Hi from the couple that said a quick hello to you after we finished lunch at Paul’s. Thanks for putting us into your last shot in the Paul’s segment. 😎. I live in Chiang Mai and travel in similar circles to you so I’m sure we’ll run into each other again. Next time I’ll stop for a chat if you’re free. Keep up the great work. I’m excited for the Koh Lipe series!...I mean mystery island 😂

[@actualanimals]

Koh Lipe. Nice! Been waiting so long for you to start exploring the nucer islands here. Enjoy your trip and get over to nang yuan for paradise asap before the tourists arrive!

[@johnnygerard6605]

You D***! I was on the edge of my seat waiting to know. I was gonna watch them anyways but dammit. You got me. Happy Easter Krap🙏

[@vincentscully8422]

Love the video! And 1,2,3,10,5 gave me a chuckle as well.

[@slappyosis]

Yeah, come on Chris, you should know how to count to 10 in Thai by now!

[@jomontanee]

OMG 8:20 I have never heard of these fab 5 before!!!! Breathtaking!! 11:56 JAW DROPPING.

[@truckn]

Awesome views, cool video thanks for sharing Chris. Be well. Happy Easter by the way.

[@hoken706]

Koh Rok Noi is the best. Very very impressive. Phuket is little far from your Maldives island... Very long boat trip

[@ianmcconaghy4927]

Great fun mystery tour Chris, looking forward to jumping on one of Shaun's 5 Star Marine boats and doing the same when next in Phuket!

[@joereeves8259]

The Johnny Cash was fantastic, thank you.

[@alistairtaylor4989]

Love your work mate, keep working hard for us - but not too hard.

[@antruok4950]

Beautifully presented - great road trip and then the travel juices get into overload on the boat - more pls 😎👌👍🙏🍻👊

[@DonBigMango]

Fantastic Chris, another fun watch

[@PTriddy]

4.20 loved the lyrics...The landscapes there are amazing

[@jarkko7361]

Hi from Bangkok. Thx for the good video again.

[@seanrrichards]

I know exactly where you are and when I was there a couple of years ago in October I completely loved it. It is a little challenge to get to but more than worth it. I can not wait to see the next vids.

[@lisabirt246]

We took your recommendation. Spending 8 days on Koh Lipe now.

[@aaronbux1]

Great vid, Chris! And great impression of Sir David Attenborough .. as you made such a graceful dive. :) My guess on the island is .. well I don't want to give it away! .. so Ko "facial feature" ending in "e". :) Looking forward to the next!

[@atomixrecords]

On my way to Samui, we made a stop at Wat Don Sak, which is only about 20 minutes away from the pier and worth the small detour off the main route, 4142.

[@ThaiStyle]

เกาะห้าสวยมากครับ ปะการังสวยด้วย เคยไปมาแล้ว 👌

[@manolexing68]

I have to admit--- I'm a BELIEVER!!! That was a new definition of EPIC Chris and Hailey. Have SUPER FUN!!!

Amazing place. Thanks for the vid keep it up🙏

[@leoskardisco]

8:57 ahhh yes “1,2,3,10,5” 😂

[@phantim_othy571]

First time viewer.....very very impressed....I always wanted to travel the Maldives of Phuket

[@thammaratsena4094]

Nice trip between Samui to Phuket I like that Thanks @RetiredworkingForyou 💖

[@darrandavies7983]

Koh Kradan is paradise as well

[@metahduh4003]

The white buddha on the secret island look familiar. LOL!

[@Beatriz-uh4jj]

Hey, I know the word that was muted. Andaman sea is very nice to travel but also very far from land. Not only these islands a part of the National Park but also they are quite near the sea border to our neighbor. It means you might enter our neighbor accidentially. If that happens, it will cause a lot of troubles. Thank you for this vlog. I really miss these andaman islands.

[@georgyporgy3129]

Big thank you for your all doing.

[@jasonwilkinson3887]

Wow brother!!!! That's my idea of beautiful. Living the dream as I head into a 12hr shift. Can't wait to get back over there.

[@thebalmaintigers]

Liked the variety in this video. Music, comedy etc. Nice one. Entertaining 👍

[@mariabrennan3101]

Chris 💕 Your videos hugely exciting & informative ☘️☘️

[@krazywally5685]

Great vid you guys 😎👍

[@steray7590]

Great vlog Chris love your channel 👏 bud 👍 just catching up

[@varuntornsampao-in]

Love your song Chris, Your videos always make me laugh..😊👏

[@ursulalawrence7428]

Hi Chris , first time viewer, all the way from South Africa, Cape Town. . I just love the scenery, nature absolutely healthy for the soul, the colours of the sea amazing, Paradise indeed. Appreciate watching your videos you energy, vibrant, God Bless the two of you,. Watching your videos, another dimension amazing views I love tranquility its Heaven. ❤ love it. Thankyou guys.

[@donnadwarika6370]

❤Love the video Chris great singing skills.😂😂😅❤❤.

[@walkwithtimmi2764]

been there too!! both koh rok & koh lipe, 100% agreed they both maldive in Thailand

[@brothersman524]

Your final destination is definitely Koh Lipe because I have been there twice. My first time was in January 2017 while I was staying in Langkawi in Malaysia for 1 week and they did day trips to Koh Lipe from there which I spent 6 hours. My second visit was in Feb 2018 when I have stayed 3 nights after staying in Ao Nang/Krabi, Koh Phi Phi Don and Koh Lanta. From Koh Lanta to Koh Lipe, I did stop on 3 beautiful islands (Koh Ngai, Koh Kradan and Koh Muk). While I loved Koh Samui a lot (as well as Koh Tao and Koh Phangan), I wasn't that impressed with Phuket. But Koh Lipe is definitely the Maldives of Thailand and in the deep south very close to the Malaysian border

[@Paul_G_Eats]

Great video Chris, it looks beautiful

[@RetiredWorkingForYou]

Thanks 👍

[@Geoffreyboucher]

Can’t wait till November getting closer,,,,great video,,,,

[@juliogonzalez4764]

Beautiful beaches, limestone cliffs, the Wolf of Wall Street, and an appearance by the Phuket Seal. Doesn't get better than this.

[@RetiredWorkingForYou]

Love watching your video 😃

[@silverfox6883]

They're not pine trees along the beaches, they are Casuarina equisetifolia (common names Coastal She-oak or Horsetail She-oak) Chris. The native range extends throughout Southeast Asia, Northern Australia and the Pacific Islands; including Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia, East Timor, and the Philippines, east to Papua New Guinea, French Polynesia, New Caledonia, and Vanuatu, and south to Australia. Love your work ...

[@RetiredWorkingForYou]

awesome comment, i love when you guys add huge value to the channel by giving more details like this, thanks!

[@silverfox6883]

@@RetiredWorkingForYou My pleasure, Chris (got your name right this time!). Added some more details as to the large range of this much loved tree. Hopefully meet you for a beer one day. Stay safe out there in paradise, bro ...

[@kwokweng76]

wat a great video chris

[@douglaswilliams4274]

Wow ! Beautiful Chris

[@Video-tu4vn]

Great video Chris. Footage looks a little different. Maybe just the lighting but looks great.

[@user-mf9iz9fs4w]

คุณเป็นยูทูปที่น่ารักมากครับ💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝

[@simonjacksparrow]

Stunning Chris. Shout out to 5 star marine

[@robertschlicht2683]

Clear - Lipe ! Good choice - slightly in concurrence with Koh Muk (not Mak) south of Koh Lanta (and kind of close to Lipe) or Koh Kood (Kut) south of Koh Chang / Trat province

[@whoami7234]

มุมกล้อง การนำเสนอ ทำออกมาดีมากครับ สนุก เพลิดเพลนมาก

[@feverishchic]

Thanks for sharing your retirement lifestyle❤️

[@AngkulCTWB]

That's amazing, never been there.

[@griefpointmike]

id love to do this same tour chris,thank you!!

[@pinaysaisla]

Enjoy staying here in koh samui🙏💐😘😘🥰🥰❤️❤️

[@Attibarbell]

I know you will go to Koh Mook 😅😅👍🏼 Chris !

[@thomashamilton9779]

Visited there 3 times....cool place.

[@ismith9826]

Look at the water there man !!!

[@xevenau]

I went there before covid and it was the most beautiful place ive ever witness

[@metahduh4003]

I took the buss between Phuket and Koh Samui ferry.

[@metahduh4003]

Chez Bernard was a unique little jungle hideaway in the middle of Patong beach. Got destroyed by the tzunami and never recovered. Too bad.

[@ulrichkristensen4087]

I have dived so many times at Koh Haa, with planet blue divers from Koh Lanta, epic spot, i know where you are going, i always take the Tiger Lines down the inner sea route, or from Pak Bera/Satun to where you are going, epic boat ride 👍

[@carlkenyon4599]

I subscribed a long time ago , now I am looking at coming over to Koh Samui

[@DNorman]

Castaway Resort s a nice place there and can snorkel right from your room,

[@Mr.TravelKing]

Koh Lipe is amazing!

[@sahibaliyev816]

Happy Easter, Chris! Warm greetings from Azerbaijan!

[@Gary_and_Linda]

We love Koh Lipe too! Check out Koh Adang Resort while you are in the area.

[@GregorBrown]

I liked that ending!

[@ElBrandenBrazil]

[@travishollingsworth2111]

I’ve been to koh lipe many times.

[@billmoeller8897]

Looks like Koh Lipe is your next stop.

[@mariettaandcolinthornton9819]

BEAUTIFUL.

[@guernseygirl6608]

Ah man the suspense is killing me! lol

[@felixtan2704]

Likin' the new HAIRDO !!

[@vyacheslavdubrovin3337]

Koh Rok is one of my favourite places😍

[@christophs.6122]

Great video with further inspirations for our next Thailand trip 😀☀️🏝 However, in the internet I cannot find any speedboat ferry line offering the trip from/to Phuket (they still seem to be closed). Does anyone have an idea?

[@keithgroves6060]

Used to love Lipe but went a few weeks ago and unfortunately left after 2 nights (booked 5) I know the pandemic hasn't being good but the island was very dirty and too much construction. The once beautiful sunrise beach is destroyed with longtail boats everywhere. I used to say I hope it never turned into a phi phi but at the moment Phi Phi was so much nicer. I really hope the islanders realise just what is being done to their island but I fear its now too late.

[@makatelli]

I was there during covid last year and it was fantastic. Very few tourist

[@AG-so4gl]

On my way in June- Early Retire. Expat Brit. Yipppee

[@mikenorberg7384]

That would be Koh Lipe my favorite spot, check out castaways on sunrise

[@eldeluxo]

You're going to the very developed small island of Koh Lipe, backpackers on a budget would probably be headed to Koh Leh.

[@christyle-ponce3860]

Hi Chris, do you know what's the most current restrictions to fly to Thailand. We're anxious to go but really confused with it all.

[@CharlotteKokosnootleestvoor]

Love everything you do Chris. You and Hayley make a beautiful couple! ❤I also love 5 Star Marine and their 6 star service! I can highly recommend them! 👍
