Today we take the ferry from Koh Lanta to Phuket and share the realities of travel, showing a bit more behind the scenes of... ✈ Our 220 page guide on how to travel non-stop - bit.ly/2PjaPey
Our time in Koh Lanta has finished and today we head from Ko Lanta to Phuket on the ferry - but which one and how long does it take? That's the same question we had, travel in Thailand isn't exactly smooth as you would have seen from our other travel vlogs, but you just go with the flow and what will be will be.
There was actually 3 different ferry options from Phuket to Koh Lanta and visa versa, ranging from 500 baht to 1,000 baht - we opted to go for the fastest possible and not really a ferry, more like a speed boat.
So how did it go? Was the trip to Phuket as fast as we thought? Guess you best be watching the vlog and find out :P

Loved this. You are right to keep it real. Anything worth doing (like travelling the world) takes effort and planning. That's the reality of life. The rewards from making the effort are what make it all worth it. Had to laugh at your list of Phuket fails :) The rooftop pool looks awesome - reckon you are going to enjoy that facility!

Just returned home from our Thailand holiday we had a beautiful villa in Phuket in the Bangtao beach area with private pool for 7 nights at an amazing price of $26 per night, just finished unpacking today and we can't wait to return we fell in love with Thailand and Phuket was just the antidote required after 9 awesome nights in Bangkok.👍🇦🇺

Serial is great. Ologies is fascinating! We find Joe Rogan interesting as well - he chats with a collection of people from different backgrounds so you can pick the topics/people that interest you and learn a lot about them and their views why they have a conversation, feels like you're in the room with them.

My roommate and I are in Patong! We just got back to our room moments ago after walking along the streets and beach with all the partiers. We were talking about how this isn't quite our scene, but luckily we are early risers so we have been getting to enjoy Patong in the morning and afternoon when it is much more tame. Before Patong we were just North in Kamala. It is a much smaller town and we really appreciated the more relaxed atmosphere in comparison. Sadly on our walk from Kamala to Patong we saw people riding elephants ☹ We are intending to go to the same sactuary y'all went to once we make it up to Chiang Mai! We decided to see if we could find our inner yogis, so tomorrow we are heading to Ko Samui and Ko Phangan for a yoga retreat! As for the realities and logistical content, I think it is great to include more of it! The first week of our travels have been mostly about learning the logistics and I think it would be really helpful for other new travelers to be more aware of this learning curve!

@DanegerAndStacey 5 жыл бұрын

You know that's probably the thing we dig about Thailand the most - you can do it how you like. Don't like Patong? Go up the road and the vibe shifts massively or do a yoga retreat - good times. You'll love the Elephants, do it!

Grab bought out Uber in Thailand last year, they seem to be very popular over there now. The raw style video is great, no fluffing it up for the tourist trade. I love to just hire a scooter and explore, my standard comment to myself while riding along is “ I wonder where that road goes” so then I find out, its amazing what you find. Keep enjoying yourselves and passing on your great videos for us to be jealous of, cheers for Australia 😎👍

Yes, it's better to be drunk on the rooftop instead of with other drunks...I'm just kidding...I've been to Patong Beach twice, but I don't like crowds, loud music, and people...6 weeks there and I was only on Bangla Rd. after dark twice...I'm in Siem Reap, Cambodia now and will head to Phuket in about 12 days... You have one of the best KZfaq channels .. I really enjoy what you show the world...

@DanegerAndStacey 5 жыл бұрын

We're kind of the same as you, we like hanging with people/situations/places that we like, if we don't dig it we just don't go there. Would much rather be drunk on the rooftop and watch the sunset than the chaos of Patong. Siem Reaps a cool spot - Pub Street is intense but quite fun.

A combination, yeah. If it's DL on my laptop we can watch directly on it, send it to VLC on our phones over wifi (for travel), put onto a USB and connect to a tv if it has the option, or host it on Plex and wirelessly play to a tv using our Firestick. Years of perfection haha.

Hey Guys, check out Old Town Phuket, you won't regret it, has a lot of history there.. If you go in the opposite direction from where you are, you will hit the Rawai area, well known for fresh seafood it is a must... You are in a great area, you just have to do a little googling. One more thing, check out Nai Harn area, but mainly the beach.. goo.gl/maps/m9LQ8sXcocE2
