Finally vloggers who are a couple who are not insufferable. Great video guys

[@youtuber261]

just refreshing to have some down to earth UK vloggers, as opposed to cashed up American kids, with a trust fund to sustain their travelling.

[@larry-notthecableguy]

Love the way you guys show us the map with each location. Much easier to understand how to navigate the island.

[@parttimetravellingfamily]

Thanks Larry 😊🖤

Great vid lovely family The break in waves is a dead reef if you swim out there it will start getting shallow then you can literally walk on it . Then dive of the end to the most beautiful reef AMAZING

[@Meeshamac1]

Love! We stayed at the Sala Samui chongmon pre pandemic. It was simply paradise ❤

[@RebelRickB1971]

I've been going samui since 2004. Last time 2017. It has been going down hill for years in lamai and chewang. Always best to get out and about on bike and then you can find some amazing beautiful places.

[@parttimetravellingfamily]

Couldn't agree more Richard. That's exactly what we did... the Island has so much more to offer than those popular places. Thank you for your comment Richard 🖤

I hope your planning to visit Koh Phangan, it’s my favourite island of Thailand, there’s a lot more to the island than the Full Moon Party. Most amazing beaches, waterfalls, viewpoints and much less touristy. Development is on a very small scale, also you are spoiled for choice for restaurants, many are run by foreigners who put there whole passion into the food, even quite a lot of accommodation are run by foreigners. But there’s still the friendly Thai locals of course!

[@parttimetravellingfamily]

Hey Roy... We are absolutely going to Phangan next 😊 then on to Koh Tao. We heard that Phangan is more relaxed and aesthetically beautiful. Thank you for your support Roy. Look forward to hearing from you again 🖤🖤🖤

[@shaikajazali6515]

You are looking so beautiful in white dress and you have lovely eyes and cute smile. Very nice ambience at Fishermen's village. It is good to know you liked Fishermen' s village and you have given good information about the stay in Koh Samui. Your child also liked the fire show with you and his dad.

[@annielouisemarshall-welch2098]

[@parttimetravellingfamily]

Hey Keith & Julia… great to hear from you☺️ Around Fisherman’s Village is amazing and our favourite place on Samui. The whole vibe is very chilled. It has a fairly large ex pat community so there are less locals trying to sell the touristy attractions or excursions. Great atmosphere. Nyh LOVED pig island.. he was not happy about leaving at all🤣. Thank you for watching guys.. it means a lot😊🖤🖤

[@andrewlinstead6931]

I lived on Samui for 3 tears up until 2014. Love watching recent videos of the island to see how much it has changed. I was based in Lipa Noi and spent way too many boozed up nights in Lamai which was the place to be at night for single guys lol. Now married, older and back home in London with my Thai wife, we are planning a return visit to Samui and Phuket soon (her best mate works in a dive centre there). Congrats on the video but please practise the pronunciations 555. Enjoyed the video and keep up the good work :)

[@andrewlinstead6931]

3 years, not 3 tears btw but did have many tears of laughter LOL

[@parttimetravellingfamily]

😅😅😅 Pronunciations are terrible I know. I struggle with English let alone Thai! Thanks for the support Andrew.. appreciate your comment. 🖤

[@match20x]

My family and I will be in Chaweng. Did you just go to Fishermam for the fire show? If so, how did you get there (from Chaweng)? Thanks!

[@parttimetravellingfamily]

We went for the day initially. We had a scooter that we was renting for the duration of the stay so we took that. But it's easy to get a taxi from Cheweng to Fishermans, definitely worth it for the day trip. Try and go on the day of the night market too! Think it was a Friday but double check when you get to Samui. You'll have a great time!! 🖤

[@xoxothn]

Informative vid! Would you recommend staying at Fisherman village area or a bit further away? We’re looking into the area between fisherman’s village and Chongmoen beach. It’s a bit more secluded so we do need a car or taxi to go around. We’ve 2 little kids (1y and 3y). From your experience is it better to just stay in the Fishermans village area or just stay further away?

[@RlangSakonnakhon]

How did u move around koh samui with a baby ? When i was there last year i didnt have a baby and was biking around. Not sure what to do this time... especially at night

[@phalimmaguire6069]

Great video guys love your vibe, going to Samui in two weeks but still not booked accommodation as undecided which resort, looks like fisherman’s village has top spot, we have 11 days do you think it’s worth splitting the resorts to 5 and 6 days or is it easier to just do day trips to islands etc ? Thanks

I love how the kid pissed down her dad's back and is fast asleep ha ha

May I ask the name of the Beach & Restaurant you were at watching the Fire Show Please! Also any recommendations for a lovely Hotel on the Beach for My Wife & I - Elderly Couple. We like a beer etc. ha! ha!

Lamai is my own private beach, i would like that. No beach salesmen from the locals bothering you, selling masks or wanting to paint your picture.

Chaweng by far the best for me. Own a home there now..

[@orental5996]

Love you guys! Question how to move through places in Koh Samui? Taxi is ok? If so how much it's cost?

[@parttimetravellingfamily]

We love you Oren! ☺️ Taxi is fine, the is a bus (longer tuk tuk) you pay 10 baht and jump on and off whenever you please. It just continuously circles the area. Very cheap 😊🖤

Hey Bipin... We were on the Islands on February 2022. Hope this helps! 🖤

[@mangoking787]

Hello Eleise, hello Lawrence, and your handsome little boy Nye. I hope I spelt it right. I have been looking for more of your video's but I couldn't see any new ones. I thought to myself that you all are on the next step of your journey. Then to my good luck, you were like God sent. While I was watching a video of Koh Samui. From the corner of my eye. I saw this video, and said to myself. I recognise Eleise, and clicked the video. How are you'll keeping. Are you still in Thailand. We are still having a lot of problems with Covid and Omicron, and things are changing every day. In fact I have made up my mind to go to Thailand next year. I would like to stay 5 nights in Koh Samui and 5 nights in Phuket. Could you suggest any nice hotels or resorts in Koh Samui, and in Phuket. I went to a travel agent but she gave me the s----. She said I could go only for 3 nights in Koh Samui an 3 nights in Phuket. I was pretty upset and rang the office and asked for the girl who sent me the email. I was very nice when I spoke to her and said who is paying for the trip. Me or you. This time Lawrence I really want to have a good holiday both in Koh Samui and Phuket. I haven't been on a holiday since 2019, and I am really tired of working on my land and not enjoying my life. Thank God most of my projects are now finished. But I have a problem I am a farmer, and I have sheep, chickens, Emus and a lot of Koi and Gold fish, close to 500 or more. I do not know who I can trust to look after my animals. Take care, stay safe, keep smiling, and God Bless.

[@parttimetravellingfamily]

I'm sure it will all work out for you Victor. We're looking forward to hearing about your holiday this year. I'm sure it will happen and you will have a great time 😊🖤

[@LaughterOnThePhone]

Which carrier are you using?

[@parttimetravellingfamily]

It’s one from Amazon a few years ago. Fairly standard I think. 🖤

[@JohnRyan-zm3mf]

Hi. We are thinking of doing a two week holiday in Thailand next year (kids are 5 and 7) and funnily enough Fishermans Village is the number one place I had picked out to stay in for a week. So I'm glad to see ye liked it anyway 🙂 Would you mind me asking if there is anywhere else in particular from your travels around Thailand that you would recommend for the other week (we may even do 9 nights in FV and 5 somewhere else)? Thanks in advance. Great videos by the way.

[@mananmalhotra9459]

Hey guys! I must say that your vlogs are simply amazing. Me and my wife are also planning to visit Samui in early September on our anniversary along with our toddler. Can u please tell in which hotel u stayed and are there vegetarian options available as well as we guys are vegetarian. What was your duration of stay there and how did u hop from one part to another?

[@parttimetravellingfamily]

Sounds great Manan.. Thanks for your comment ☺️. We stayed at a few hotels on Samui.. Depends on your budget i guess. A hotel i thought was great value was 'Cheweng Regent' and they had great food options available. It has a 5 star feel but paying 3/4 star prices. 🖤

[@mananmalhotra9459]

Thank you so much for reverting. What was your duration of stay in Samui?

[@millimaerogers8548]

I’m off to Thailand in a few weeks! Just wondering how you guys get around from place to place? Is it taxis or scooters? Love this video btw !❤️

[@parttimetravellingfamily]

Hey Milli! Thanks for your comment 🖤 In busy places like Bangkok we use public transport or Tuk Tuk but islands like this we would rent a scooter. If you haven't driven one before I wouldn't recommend it though as the roads are pretty chaotic and lots of people ruin their holidays having silly accidents. There are open back taxis that you can get on and off of at any place for 10 baht which are great, they just circle the area. And Tuk Tuks are everywhere. Little tip... Whichever price they offer initially, offer half of it, and that's usually the price ☺️. Hope this helps. If you have any questions message us on instagram and we'd be happy to help 😊 Have a great trip 🖤 And thank you for your support
