This beach is located between Chaweng Beach and Lamai Beach... two very popular beaches on Koh Samui Island, Thailand. It is very secluded and small... I read somewhere that it was one of the prettiest beaches on the island. It was 'on the way' for us in transit so we decided to check it out. Here's a quick look!

I stayed there for a month during Covid at Thongtakian resort. When the tide is high it is a lovely beach for snorkeling. Lamai looked very deserted and quiet those days. Chaweng Noi is the best.

I'm sure I write too much and on holidays it's better to switch off the brain :D but in case you have some moments of boredom under the palm trees, here's my 2 cents on the ins and outs of nationalities at tourist areas. This is mostly based on advertising and tour operator economies of scale, only partly geographical distance of origin. Asia is a popular destination for all first world countries (so both US/CA/AU as well as Europe), which is why you see all types of people in Indonesia and Thailand's popular beach resort areas. But as soon as you have a very popular spot with mass tourism (like Koh Samui), there will be some concentration of nationalities, mostly in the party areas. Bali will have a lot of Australians as for them it's the closest Asian destination (and perfect surf), but you have all nationalities mixed there, all over the place. Have you been to Europe before, on the seaside? What you will see there is that whole resort areas are purely one or two nationalities: Brits, Germans, Russians, etc. Same for the spanish islands like Mallorca or Ibiza, where you see masses of Brits especially or German areas. When I visited Greece for the first time, the resort we stayed at were mostly for Central Europeans, even the food signs wrote the menu in their respective languages. The reason is that tour operators bring people by the planeloads. It makes for more profit to arrange and the locals adjust quickly by using their language, so it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy: why would Dutch want to go out in Egypt where some locals cater to Russians? :) I would be curious to see whether on Koh Samui there are any other languages than English used by hotels and restaurants, though I suspect that since it's Asia, there is not that strong of a catering yet for many nationalities. The menus say it all: the more languages, the more nationalities visit the place.

@@LedZippo99 Cheers. In another video you said you got the GoPro as the same price as your X3 000 which was a good deal. So how much did you pay for this GoPro? And what's the buying used cameras situation like in Taipei please? Thank you

@@spirittravels. I got the x3000 used for cheap... the gopro I bought new.... but if you use the FB marketplace, a gopro 11/12 can be quickly found for about 8000nt used
