I’ve been trying to figure out how to get a longer visa so I can travel for a 3 - 6 months but not having much luck with the convoluted confusing system. What’s the best visa for me?

[@SideTripLife]

Think the ill named 'STV' visa is still in place (?) which grants 90 days +extension. But best check with your local Thai Embassy (or website).

[@jackiephi6310]

I love the comments you put across the bottom it helps me I can pause the video and write stuff down thank you very much I also love that there is no crap music I tend to enjoy the same music you do thank you again

[@SideTripLife]

Thanks Jackie. STL

[@SideTripLife]

to the viewer who cursed at me in a comment insinuating I don't like his music thus people, I approved your comment but it looks like it's being ghosted by YT, not me (I didn't mind but probably for cursing I guess). Anyways will paste my response below as it doesn't appear either: Lol. Actually, LOVE old school rap, before it became mostly grown men (black&white) mainly bragging about themselves ala 'imma biggest imma baddest' blah blah.... zzzz ... yawn.... (sorry;) PS: also mentioned not a fan of soppy pop music.... (uh-oh, in trouble again lol;) btw, my fav all time rap tune: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6vKc3dorN6mq6s peace, STL

[@MrDynamicMedia]

Oh mate That is truly complete an utter total paradise! Thanks for making a video that keeps me working harder so I can come for six weeks of Christmas!

[@barbet85]

Working on retirement in Thailand with my very dear friend, this place looks like paradise.

[@mikejohnson2638]

What you see in the video and what is reality are very, very different. You'll be bored out of your mind in less than a month.

[@BIGJED75]

Fantastic little place, amazing what a little cleaning and a few extras do for a room. The power board is one of my favourite travel hacks, that and never trust a fart.......

[@SideTripLife]

Sage travel advice right there lol

[@kevinthailand2567]

I have been living in Chiang Mai and visiting Koh Chang for years. Great to see it coming back to life. And you visit places I have not been which encourages me to go visit them too. Thanks eh. Kevin from Oakville, Ontario

[@tedrick4713]

Good stuff. Just enough people to keep things interesting. Prices are great.

[@dabronks8789]

Cheers from Brampton Ontario. I love the unique places you find with price considerations, just beautiful. I hope to get to Thailand God willing, great channel by the way, live long and prosper young man.

[@SideTripLife]

@dabronks hello in Brampton and what a nice surprise! My 1st ever 'super thanks' contributor. You Tube said they added this feature but here in Thailand I can't see it and wondered if it really existed? Apparently yes! Much appreciated, STL (and may you get to Thailand soon:) PS: as my Canucks are already on the back 9 yet again, GO LEAFS!

[@seffski790]

Hey, how do u tip?

[@SideTripLife]

@Seffski Just watching is thanks enough but for tips KZbin has also added a 'super thanks' which appears beside the like/subscribe area etc (but apparently it's not available in all countries). So if the box isn't appearing and any would still like to tip (not expected but greatly appreciated) I also have a Tip Jar, here: bit.ly/3Le6Ex8 Cheers, STL

I love everything about your vlogs mate.dont change anything.i love your come along with me as i explore style and the cost detail you share.your vlogs are a fantastic resource for anyone intending to travel to thailand in the near future.thank you very much for sharing.p.s.i am very envious🙂

Those spots are great, thanks for sharing! Always look forward to your new videos

Thanks Joe :)

[@SouthernSoftie]

This is exactly what I want to experience in Thailand. I’m coming in September, hoping the rains hold of for my visit . 🙏

[@terencecoeart]

Your videos are spot on. Perfect mix of places to stay , eating and drinking options as well as travel info all with clear pricing details. It all helps us to hit the ground running and save loads of time. Great job. Thanks .

[@tej6176]

Its really nice you make a video without any music in the video ( only the music of the bars- cafe´s) and just like it really is. How it would be to walk around there. :-) makes the video really calming and good to watch.

[@Finding-Fish]

great video i going there based on this video!!! stayed tuned

[@yozzfromoz4013]

Will have to take a trip back to Koh Chang, it has been many years since i was last there and it has really changed a lot, thanks for taking the time to post the videos...

[@mattstakes7047]

Great stuff, STL. Can't wait to get back but will be a while for this traveler. Thanks for all the intel. Look forward to the next vid. Cheers!

[@stephenworthington-white8294]

I spent a lovely week on Lonely beach in 2001 waiting for my India visa to process. Being just a few hours from Bangkok it was easy to get to. So many amazing sunsets. They were just building a place at the end of the beach but otherwise nothing but coconut trees around the rocky shoreline back then. Thanks for the video. Happy Travels from Kamloops

[@SideTripLife]

Great memories! Thanks for sharing from Kamloops (great area too:) STL

[@mikejohnson2638]

are you from the UK? did you get your Indian visa, any problems?

[@mrnobodyinvr9762]

YOu're really doing a much bigger thing here than just posting clips of a pretty destination, you're opening the door to life changing adventures to those who dont quite understand how to get there on their own. It's a wonderful thing, and you are really getting me ready to make the jump into my next life adventure. Where do you hang out the most? Are you staying in Thailand right now or elsewhere? How has it been for you with the inter-country travelling? Expensive? Have you found any areas outside of Bangkok that are kind of dangerous?

[@sharynclarke840]

I visit Ko Chang 30 years ago, it was bungalows on the beach. $2 a night…..

[@add8305]

Another great video STL! You have a great life! Two weeks to go before we arrive in Phuket - can’t wait to be back in Thailand. It’s been almost 3 years. Keep up the good work!

[@SideTripLife]

Thanks Add. 2 weeks to go after 3 years waiting? wow! Toes in sand on Phuket is gonna feel GREAT, enjoy! STL

[@bobtoner9820]

Enjoyed witching. Very peaceful. I was stationed in Bangkok in 1969. Fond memories of the Thai people

[@allisonking2942]

Yes we have heard it’s only temporary until the markets are finished being rebuilt. That will be very different carpark underneath and two levels of markets we think.😊 Will be there in February can’t wait to be back. Thanks for showing us around ❤

'06 sounded amazing! Hope you get back!

Sometimes a place just hits you right between the eyes. This is that place for me. Great video! Every place you showed was well worth the rent. Something for everyone. I especially loved the 2nd place; the one you took 700baht. 1st one was ok too. All priced for your particular fit. Outstanding food, atmosphere & of course, ppl. Gonna have to follow your act, buddy. Like & subscribed! I'm very selective about my videos. Thailand & Vietnam. My 2 favorite places on the planet. As usual I stumbled upon you by accident. Pleasant surprise. Thanks alot!!!👍🇨🇷🍜🍤🏊

I was based in chanthaburi for a week, took a trip to koh chang, a long trip by scooter so of course stayed over in 2018. For one night at a rasta resort. I much prefer south of Bangkok. Living in ubon- ratchathani is quite different.

Thx. Love me a rasta bar too and on the beach all the better! STL

11:00 . Not much to do there. Thinking of your life. Relax and meditation

I really enjoyed the 'zen' of the place and just metres behind is the village so several cafes, bars, shops etc, plus Lonely Beach itself nearby so best of both.

End of January 2022, A trip by car to Koh Chang was my gift to my girlfriend for her birthday (her suggestion though, ha ha), it was the most exciting and amazing 10 days so far in Thailand, and I've been all over it. We stayed at Marina Sands Resort, with their private beach, top place and it was so cheap.

[@VICSWEB1]

fantastic, what am I doing in this hell LV NV?

[@C2K777]

Thanks for these. Going through the playlist and although you couldn't stay there Nature Beach is one of the place's that we'll be staying at End Oct through to mid November for a birthday trip and one that should've been taken 2yrs ago. Wonder if you'll stay at any of the other places we have booked. I won't cheat and will note them as: Kacha Resort & Spa, Nature Beach Resort and Koh Chang Cliff Beach Resort. I'll come on back after I've finished the list and see how we did eh. Glad to see that the island is starting to pick up a bit and hopefully by the time we arrive at the start of high season it'll have it's vibe in full swing ( though if it's not rammed then selfishly I won't be too upset about that even though the poor residents are likely praying it will be)

Hi Tony. The big group at Coco had reserved the restaurant before I arrived. They offered to serve me too but it would take 30 mins as they were prepping the big group. So I just said no prob and went next door. So Coco is a good place too :) STl
