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

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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q-CXdadj3N_XpX0.html peace, STL

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!

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

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.......

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

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

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

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

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🙂

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

Cool roof deck!

Great tunes and good to see Lonely beach getting some life back, thanks x

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 .

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!

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...

What a great place to chill and have a few beers , " Yaa Mon " LOL . Thank you for sharing , Enjoy ....

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

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!

Thanks for this, been to Koh Chang many times and love it so much. Quiet compared to some of the other Thai Islands, but that is what i love about it. Keep the vids coming, as i love to see your travels and gives us all ideas of where we might go.

Great video mate,Love watching your videos.Great to see Koh Chang looking abit busy again.

From one Canadian to an other, great video. Just made it back to Thailand about a month ago, so happy to be back and making a new life here. you got yourself a new subscriber. 🇨🇦🇹🇭

It's very relaxing to watch your videos. Good job!

100 kudos for this movie

Thanks for the video dude, like the chilled out style, back watching videos again and psyching myself up to go to Thailand in the next few months. Doing world year trip tempted to start with a month in an apartment on the beach Like this.

Great vlog as always, boss! I can't wait to get back.

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.

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?

Another awesome video 🙏

I miss living in Thailand and traveling to all the fun islands there. 💕

What a magical spot. Must put on to do list. Thank you

Envious of your visits to all those bars in your videos lately. I miss those kind of beach bars so very much. And thanks for all the hotel hunting vids. They are absolutely helpful.

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.

Watched till the end as always 👌🏻

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 ❤

Looks great just so much to see in Thailand itself

Overwhelmingly a place to go - LB - thanks for showing some real Lanta - 👌 very much enjoyed STL 🍻😎👌👍🙏

Had a mint week here when travelling here in 2006. The huts were loads more basic. Not fully watertight, outside shower, mattress on the floor draped by a mosquito net 😂. Happy days though. I'll be back one day.

Nice work - good descriptions - great variety - Thanks from Nova Scotia -Canada!

Recently discovered your channel, great stuff. Yeah, always endure it to the end!

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

Great video! 👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻 Soon I will check the recommended places 🤗

Thanks for the fantastic video. So many years on lonely beach.. I even seeing my appartment. Regards jeff

I like your style of videos including prices and reviews on the fly.

We really enjoy your content, thanks. Reminds us of our several trips to Thailand in the past. We hope to visit again one day.

Man that is a great video with some great info, thanks man.

That was a fantastic trip down memory lane, thanks 😊

Nice place and so beautiful sunset 😮😊👍🌄🌅

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!!!👍🇨🇷🍜🍤🏊

Awesome stuff mate. Great investigation of the island to find some little jems. 🏖🏝⛱🍻👍

as usual Great great video. Thanks for such a great informative video

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

Always look at the SideTripLife , do do do =)

Beautiful and helpfull video!

Great videos of Koh Chang and informative. A friend and myself will be there for the New Year 2024/25 for a week so looking forward to it. A few days at Oasis resort then off to the east side. So best of both worlds party time New Year then rest on the east side 😎👍

New subscriber here! Absolutely loving your content, the way you interact with locals, speaking a bit of Indo. Truly great! Going to binge watch your videos today. Terima kasih!

Thanks for all your video's......top class 👍🏼🙂

Real nice!

A month ago it was dead around Lonely Beach when I was there. Glad you are having a better experience.

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.

Oh Koh Chang is it MAN GI 😂 I'm lovin this vid wow cheap n cheerful all right... Rasta

Great vid as usual STL. Hope to get over to The Land of Smiles again soon. Thank you :)

Just A W E S O M E as per usual. Makes me just wanna jump on a plane ✈️ and get there. Rasta rustic bar Food Cold beers Good music 🌊 ocean Sunset That is LIFE LIVING at its very best Love it 🥰 👌😃 Greetings from freezing 🥶 Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

My new favourite videos

Hiya, the prices always shock me. So cheap for a slice of paradise. Love a bit of drone footage. You did well. They are not easy to fly. Great video. Beautiful sunset. Always chilled vibes. No, no-no. Yes, yes, yes. Love it. Leo's bar has great vibes. Always watch your full video. Have a great weekend. Somehow I have missed a few vids. So catching up.

As always excellent 👌👌👌

Thanks for the video 👍🙂

Leo's bar, a platonic place to chill, a couple of 50 baht dishes, a couple of cokes, watch the sunset and then a good book before bed. Sleep in a hammock all day too ... where do I sign up? 😁

Great place !

For some reason I’ve not been getting your vlogs . Had to look for you , but well worth it . Great vlog Beautiful sunsets lovely beaches glorious surroundings and some Bob Marley to listen to , and no doubt some Bob Hope to smoke if you like that sort of thing , and I do , what more can you ask for. Thanks for the uploads.

So want to visit this island a little taste of old Thai island life great price info thankyou

Favourite TravelChannel ! // Sweden !

Beautiful video............................... no gimmicks.

You always find the Secret Spots 😁 I would have parked the Bike and Walked over there an Drank all night 😁

Sorry if you already know, but Rude Boy is UK slang for a fan of Ska music which is kinda like reggae but faster and more urban. Please excuse if you already knew. 😁

Excellent video 👍🏻🙏🏻

Great island…..we will be going there in the next couple months….

great stuff !! watched all your vids. im looking to spend 6 months a year where do you recommend for a fellow canuck thanks !! (tasts same as yours rustic beach cabin in small town or rural area ) ps you have a unique way of presenting - tone in your voice ,attitude or..??....not sure but i find your travel vids easiest to (my wife's favorite and she is hard to please lol ) listen too must be that magnetic canadian humility we cary :)

Great Video!
