It certainly does look idyllic BUT just a word of caution if I may: ALWAYS come and stay in a desired area for a time FIRSTLY (say min 3 months, preferably 6) BEFORE committing/upping sticks or selling up. At the minimum to see if the 'ideal' actually suits one's lifestyle & expectations. Cheers!

I lived on phangan on and off years - although its always quiet like this in the off season , its strange to see it like this in later December. The road to haadrin was all dirt when i first went and the beach was just bungalows with a tiny crossroads behind with a few small shops. i have a feeling they have plans to change haadrin completely when tourism comes back and possibly the whole of phangan will move towards higher end tourism. its such a beautiful and special place but has become far too busy recently and the kind of people visiting has changed a lot of course , i dont think the thais have enjoyed the last 10 years of change very much but the money was good so most of the families i know have done well but yearn for the quieter days and low season each year

@@SideTripLife Everyone goes to PhiPhi . It is a nice place to just visit. We were up on the hill so we had to lock the windows because the monkeys would come in and steal your stuff. Koh Samui is real nice. We went to a Thai Boxing match there. It's a must if you go. Thailand is a beautiful place. Yes there is some poverty but most people have some work. Now they legalized Cannabis. They will open the doors to more cash for Thai people. They really suffered during covid. But KPG has my heart. The island has something for everyone. Every side of it has a different flavor. It's probably the least visited in Thailand and that's why I love it. Our memories will last us a lifetime.

I really like your videos. I am from Calgary and have been to the full moon party!. I normally stay in Lamai Samui. When you go to Samui if you like beach bungalows pop into the Sea Breeze bungalow and say Hi to the owner Piya and his Sister Honey. If you don't mind saying hi to them from "Bill from Canada". They will know who that is and they are really good Thai people who have lived on the island all of their life. Safe travels

@SideTripLife 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yep, we're very fortunate to be here, especially at this time! Hope all can return in the not too distant future too. On that note and regarding Haad Rin rumours, wouldn't be surprised as this is (or was) a trend around the globe. 'Overtourism' reactions from Venice restricting day tours, to Machu Picchu doing same, to human traffic jams on Everest (with real life consequences) to even Norway restricting cruise ship landings. Even Thailand is restricting #s of daily visitors to some parks and just announced more annual closures to let nature recover. Beyond this some are talking or implementing a hefty 'tourist tax' and then there's the extreme example of Bhutan with limits plus min $200 per day per person spend. So, as tourism returns (and I believe it WILL, BIG time with pent-up cabin fever demand) all the above will be on the table and can't say as I blame 'em.
