Soneva Kiri, best resort in Thailand - aerial drone 4K video

[@Confusedbluebear]

Absolutely stunning! Such clarity! Amazing 😍☺️

[@noahbowie5985]

This is gorgeous. The scenery surrounding the resort is truly spectacular. This drone footage is a different way of looking at a stunning resort. I have been looking for somewhere else to stay when my family and I visit in October and I have definitely found it. Thank you for once again inspiring to visit new places.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I will upload a regular clip of Soneva Kiri next week :)

[@noahbowie5985]

the Luxury Travel Expert you don't have to. It's already stunning

[@TJIzzy]

Anyone else think his Drone footage was Epic Smooth??

[@rosepelzel4244]

Nice work cowboy! Love your evolution...keep it up!

[@nanamoon7328]

An excellent example of to expect when your traveling! The introduction of the drone WONDERFUL! The shots were crisp and 4K made. Love the shot coming on to the beach, I was waiting for some movie star to come walking into frame. The shots from above were just as beautiful, but when the drone went into its spin, in some shots, it was too fast and it made me dizzy. This is gonna be a fantastic addition to your videos, BRAVO!

[@popdiva848]

This drone footage was stunning! Great job! Hope to see more in the future.

[@festamix8]

Best vlog in the world!!!

[@tomcat4231]

Superb. Some of the best drone video footage I've seen. Good job.

[@michaelafalck1345]

How beautiful this is. Thank you for taking us along. The Video is very soothing.

[@naomik-tabi]

Thank you for making good movies on KZbin all the time!!!

[@Mraknup]

Nice capture, thank you

[@GetLostwithJohnny]

Amazing drone shots!

[@user-kx5ux2cc1y]

Nice spotless video once again!

[@Nacim2001]

I've been following your channel for the last 6 months, I am so excited to view your new drone footage... Awesome upgrade to your channel. Congratulations. Cheers from Miami! Nacim

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you, Nacim. I am glad you like the drone footage :-)

[@vicky25_______67]

Awesome video with silent music very nice

[@mgr5550]

Silent Music - LOLLLLLLLL. Wow everyday i learn something new here.

[@raeannemery258]

This footage gives a unique perspective on a beautiful resort.

[@juanator164]

Very nice, that Maldives one looks absolutely amazing. Can't wait!

[@wendysmith6184]

wow im so glad i decided to watch this it was amazing and other than the spinning lol was very smooth, You have added another fabulous dimension to your already inspiring vlogs . Your choice of music was spot on as always thankyou :)

[@adammadulski3304]

Very nice clip. Bravo Paul. Well done:)

[@sfdave65]

I am always amazed by the videos you make. This was really fantastic

[@maxvita2874]

Nice video 4k! But I hope you will continue to make videos, the only ones on the web where I immerse myself completely in the resorts

[@ESAKKI1986]

The luxury travel expert you have really made my day with your amazing video amazing sound tracks❤ i love the word you put at end of soneva kiri video " All good times must come to an end" which really touched my heart. Keep up the good work👍 god bless

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you ... Safe travels

[@李文强-h7g]

with new drone, we can see much better landscape and ocean view, thanks for upgrating your film, like it

[@luxury9cosmetics]

Wow , amazing !!!!

[@matthewkluge5441]

You've done very well with the footage . Enjoyed the production .

[@karlnielsen2430]

Looking forward too😊 but amazing shots with the drone

[@jkbutnotreally]

I appreciate the fact that you're trying out different things and figure what works and what doesn't. I liked the sequences starting around 3:27, I thought that was a very good use of the drone perspective and the cinematography that you achieved. I liked the bit of spinning starting around 10:06, I thought that was masterfully done. Any more than that and it might get a bit too much. I think the drone can give a unique perspective, and I'm looking forward to seeing your unique single-take walkthroughs interspersed with beautifully rendered drone takes.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you for your kind feedback. I am learning during the process. I am new in the world of 'drones' but I aim to get better as I travel the world :). I will upload two more dedicated drone clips (Soneva Fushi and Soneva Jani in the Maldives) in addition to a regular clip of these resorts, and after that, I will mix drone footage with regular footage for any future hotels. Safe travels!

[@andrewemmett9046]

LOVE the drone footage!! However, please keep the walk-through tours going also. Would like to see the inside of this resort. Thank you for all of the wonderful “virtual vacations”.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

You'll see the inside next week in my full tour of Soneva Kiri

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Looking very nice.....Thank you....

[@johnbiggs976]

Just added that extra dimension, superb. (Just need to get underwater now) 😎

[@karinav.3873]

Belleza de lugar!! Excelentes tus videos Gracias!!

[@a.cristinafernandes8120]

Love it! Thank You!

[@ziauddinkhan5699]

Stunning. Simply stunning.

[@alanmbrepuaxdbritoma]

AMAZING GREAT JOB

[@luisenrique1273]

The video was beautiful, GOD bless you, and fill you with a lot of love for your neighbor.

[@guillermodiaz1949]

Hi, that is amazing, I love all your videos, could you please specify what drone did you use and cam specifications, please, thank you.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you. I use a DJI Pro Mavic Drone

[@yverose8355]

Place looks stunning, a great way to view thank you 😀 My goodness you'd have to be pretty fit to enjoy it though!! You would definitely walk off your dinner if you were staying in one of the outlying villas!!

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Each villa gets its own private buggy to get around :) ... I will show this next week in my full review of Soneva Kiri

[@yverose8355]

the Luxury Travel Expert I thought it might 😀 can't wait to see full review!

[@philipwu1106]

Beautiful! The technical quality is awesome. I miss your on the ground, interior images which are so important in capturing the essence of a hotel/resort. Perhaps a different ratio of drone versus on the ground images?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I'll publish my full tour of Soneva Kiri next week :) Just wanted to release the drone images because the hotel site is so stunning (and also to try something new). I will do the same for Soneva Kiri's sister resorts in the Maldives: Soneva Fushi & Soneva Jani (drone clip + full clip)

[@TheCOSMETICLOVER]

Such a dreamy video - great job! I'm planning a trip to santorini and was wondering if you thought the Mystique hotel in Oia was great or whether you wished you had perhaps chosen an apartment or other hotel in Oia... The hardest thing is we need an appartement or suite that has three beds!

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you, John. I am returning to Mystique in a few weeks time (May). It's a stunning place (you can read a review on my blog). My favorite hotel in Santorini though is Grace Santorini (you need to check out this place: amazing!).

[@TheCOSMETICLOVER]

the Luxury Travel Expert thank you for the advice :)

[@vicky25_______67]

Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@NayNayof68]

EPIC!

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you :-)

[@etekbaba]

Great movie!

[@karlnielsen2430]

great drone shots, but missing when you walk around and show the room and surroundings and the dinner...

[@luxurytravelexpert]

No worries, next week I publish my regular clip of Soneva Kiri, with a walk trough the resort as usual :)

[@1984lexani]

Regarding untamed jungle - any experiences regarding cockroaches, spiders, snakes and mosquitos there?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

There is wildlife present in the jungle. It’s just a fantastic addition to an already exceptional resort, and you should feel lucky when you get to spot one of the more elusive wildlife creatures. The only annoying creatures you may encounter are some mosquitos and sand flies in the rainy season (May to October).

[@krishnaprasadk5836]

The drone footage is awesome, but could you retain the walk through of the Resorts as well, please :)

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I will publish a 'regular' walk-through clip of Soneva Kiri next week. This is just a teaser :)

[@krishnaprasadk5836]

the Luxury Travel Expert Thanks Doc ☺

[@Nacim2001]

Amazing

[@lukondekapambwe3402]

How did you afford the ticket

[@dagmarpocobelli6669]

Just dreaming, how do you arrive at Soneva Kiri from Bangkok? It's far?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

You arrive by private plane

[@dagmarpocobelli6669]

@@luxurytravelexpert thank you

[@qwertyqwerty-ek8rf]

you said 4k video but in video quality its not showing 4k video how ?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Yes it is, you have to select that option below

[@ZurriyetBlogs]

perfect, hello the Luxury Travel Expert, what site do you use for booking, booking.com or direct from hotel site or when you arrive hotel pay cash without reservation ? thank you from now for your answer.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Either directly via the hotel website or via Virtuoso

[@stargate445]

Drone mavric ?

[@MagicTurtle2436]

Are you coming down to phuket for a visit, or you're staying up north? (Im from Thailand by the way)

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Hi Peter, I have left Thailand already! You're blessed to live in such a beautiful country ...

[@jorgeace7745]

Drone footage is to be edited and mixed with normal footage. Otherwise is boring. But very nice as a first experience. Although my head still spinning....

[@TheKhalil1010]

You should visit Hoshinoya Karuizawa in Japan

[@richardtorrealba7276]

When you record with a drone, do not do it with so many laps, that makes the spectators feel dizzy. Dislike for that!

[@missylewis7210]

pls dont spin like at 1:00 it made me feel so sick :(

[@ThomasNovLoh]

Lanna Lewis, I wonder how that spinning thing made you feel so sick.

[@tracyleong822]

Lanna Lewis me too

[@ИльяБелов-о8с]

thanks

[@agoretsky007]

Liking the footage but would also like to have seen the inside of the resort as well.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Allen Goretsky next week 😉

[@lisadawn8856]

Awesome!

[@hijack11234]

What kind of drone you using?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

hijack11234 DJI Mavic Pro

[@lightingstrikes8131]

Hello sir. I enjoy your videos very much especially business/first class videos. I am just wondering how you afford this stuff. I am a frequent business class traveler because my dad is a successful businessman who started from swimming in a water tank to this. But how do you afford this are you a businessman, or what is it? Thank you sir.

[@LuxuryTechandTravel]

Very nice. Be very careful flying your drone in Thailand unless you have the new flying permit and insurance. Very strict rules now

[@alexk1222]

Do you do this for living? Seriously. What kind of job do you have, so that you can afford this?

[@ZurriyetBlogs]

wow, a night 1700 usd. thank you for video.

[@HaroldJP89]

The spinning drone shots at the beginning of the video are excessive IMO, perhaps 1 spin woulda been enough. Me, being a person that watches KZbin @ 1.5 speeds (too much great content nowadays), can have a hard time with things being overdone because at higher speed rates they're more obvious. I also missed the rawness of your videos so far, as it helped me feel as if I was there. How about mixing raw and drone footage together (KZbinr iJustine would be a good reference)? Anyways, been a subscriber of your channel since 2014 I believe, So this has hopefully been a constructive criticism. Cheers and greetings to you from Colombia 🇨🇴

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you for your kind feedback. Next week, I upload a regular clip about Soneva Kiri :). Kind regards

[@thethailandcelt8394]

I wanted to see the accommodation and the luxury. We know what an Island looks like . The drone footage was superb apart from the Spinning which made me feel quite unwell. Drone brilliant, but please please please mix it up

[@thethailandcelt8394]

Taps fan Thanks for the kind words, I have enjoyed every vlog on this channel for quite some time now and hit the thumbs up as well as sharing for each and every one. My commented observations were a true reflection of my feelings about the style of shooting in this video. Have a great day.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I will publish my full review of Soneva Kiri next week. Sorry for the spinning. I though it would have been an nice effect ;)

[@thethailandcelt8394]

the Luxury Travel Expert I'm looking forward to some more of this fascinating Island. I do hope you were not offended by my comments. I love your work. 😌

[@mgr5550]

Taps Fan > Derek is just expressing his opinions on a public portal, he has every right to, just as you are moaning about him now.

[@annivali4356]

🥰

[@11370LB]

I'm so sorry, but I found the drone footage boring after the first five minutes. I kept waiting for your usual style vlog to commence. I'm a really great fan of your vlogs, and think they're the best on KZbin, apart from this one. I felt I was watching the same view over and over again. Drones are okay, but in small doses. I never thought I'd be critical of your filming! Sorry.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you for your feedback. You can watch my full, regular tour of Soneva Kiri here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ23mp6bmNt2mMU&t

Muy lindo el dron pero me gusta mas tus otras filmaciones. Cansa.

[@robyoungquist5803]

Great drone shots but a bit OVERDONE. I miss actually seeing the accommodations and dining, etc. The constant spinning made me queasy just sitting viewing the presentation. 🙄

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I will upload my regular clip of Soneva Kiri next week. I just wanted to try out something new :)

[@Anji2010100]

The video may be aesthetically nice but not great to get a feel of the resort!!😒😟😟!!! 2/10!!! It's like a child going overboard with their new drone!!! Yawwwwwwwn!!
