What's your favorite beach in Thailand?

[@hidetomotris9688]

Kor samet for me

[@GROTFO]

Koh Ma, you were just there!

[@yaterspoon57]

Koh Poda... with Railay right up there too.

[@kevinandtanya2244]

Railay, Lamai Koh Samui, and Ao Nang Beach. Pretty while any beach in Thailand are great 👍

[@nomadsinasia]

Chaloklum on Koh phangan

[@aaronbux1]

My girlfriend and I hung out in Railay Beach about ten years ago. Epic. Beautiful. We stayed on the east side for the more affordable prices, and just walked though to the west side whenever we wanted. Lots of rain during our stay, but a lot of chill fun in the sun too, with incredible beauty surrounding us at all times.

[@luceinbattaglia9425]

East side is way far more expensive than west😉

[@aaronbux1]

@@luceinbattaglia9425 Not accurate .. in my experience. Chris even says how the east side is less expensive in one of his Railay vids. Go watch. :)

[@TraxxBR]

Railay its my favorite place in whole thailand. Amazing ! Positive vibration in the air. A nice and not expensive hotel its the “avatar”. They have a “9” in booking.com

[@DW-lx9wt]

this is a great idea for a video series. being able to film them empty, and with drone footage, is fantastic too.

[@DW-lx9wt]

drop the mention of the dreaded 'c---vid' chat (i think we all know the deal by now) as i gather it gets picked up and can lower the chances of being ad friendly.

[@sabinahorsburgh2854]

THE MOST WONDERFUL NEWS FOR BEGINNERS LIKE ME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR KIND UNDERSTANDING.

[@HesselFolkertsma]

I’m sorry to say, Chris, as far as Tonsai is considered you’re perhaps 8-10 years too late. Tonsai was amazing back then, very laidback and not a single resort property developer to be spotted. There were little bamboo cafe’s/restaurants directly on the beach. Plenty of ‘Happy’ dishes to eat and psytrance music to vibe to through the night. I was shocked when I returned to Tonsai a few years ago, it had lost all of its magical charm. Sure, it looks nice and family-friendly but it’s previous hippy vibe has been completely steamrolled over by commercial property development.

[@andreiacalhegas7627]

4 years ago I stayed in tonsai beach (chill out) and it is the most peaceful place in Thailand, surrounded by pure jungle and amazing people!

[@samandjanesbubble3354]

Hi Chris, thank you so much for another wonderful look into these deserted paradise destinations, our favourite beach from the past was the main beach in Kho Tao. We are hoping to go to Paradise beach in Phuket, dancing and then to Kho Phi Phi for a week so hope you will show us a glimpse of these two places at some stage, after this video though it looks as though Krabi may have to be added to the list of must visit destinations. Keep up these wonderful videos and enjoy these quiet moments in the land of smiles your efforts are spreading the love.

[@wjtan363]

I'm Thai and can say that this is a good video reviewing. Your recommendation is much useful for foreigners. We will wait for the normal travel situation comming back then. Thanks

HI CHRIS I REALLY LIKE YOUR VIDEOS THEY ARE FUN AND INFORMATIVE!

[@CamDiggy]

I stayed on Tonsai for a week in 2007. Slept right where Tinidee resort is now, but the property was owned by a Canadian guy from Vancouver named Titus, and he had just set up tents you could rent nightly for like 50 baht. He had an outdoor movie theatre set up where that big tree hanging over the beach is, we’d all just chill and watch movies at night. Saw a base jumper eat shit off that big cliff, too, but he was okay in the end haha

I just completed my second stay at the Tinidee. In November I stayed 1 night and 2 nights this month. I found it originally due to this video. It's a nice quiet place. Tonsai Bay Resort has picked up quite a bit since November. Sadly the back side is still fairly abandoned. Be sure to eat at Mama's Chicken.

[@kellytobey5179]

Thanks Chris another great video. And thanks for telling us about budget accommodation this time. Many of your previous recommendations were way out of my expense range. I am living in Thailand on a small pension from Canada. As you know the Canadian dollar does not stand up well against the Thai baht. When I first came to Thailand it would only cost me about $3 CAD for 100 baht BUT now by the time I pay the exchange rates and the money transfer rates it costs me almost $5 Canadian dollars for 100 baht. So thanks for showing us the lodging in the jungle area. I can fit that kind of place into my budget. :-)

[@annaroque7135]

Definitely have to go!

[@OmochiTV]

Yea me too!

[@UPnySKATE4FuN]

Can Confirm, I was stuck on Tonsai Beach until late May 2020. There is a trail through the jungle to Railay and you can walk on low tide from Railay to Krabi. It was a fantastic time!

[@GregorBrown]

Give more details. How did you pass your time? stuck inside or???

[@RetiredWorkingForYou]

0h wow.....amazing!!!! Thanks for the confirmation man! What was it like?

[@UPnySKATE4FuN]

Well, I spent most of my time rock climbing, lounging on the beach, snorkeling and fishing for squid from kayak. There was a period when we weren’t supposed to be climbing but it wasn’t enforced in Tonsai. We generally stuck to the cliffs back in the jungle to avoid being seen by boats in the bay. Really, it was like the crowds cleared out in March and we had paradise all to ourselves for 3 months.

[@GregorBrown]

@@UPnySKATE4FuN A special slice of life, difficult period for all but you made the most of it!
