After following a few other Thailand YTers, I stumbled across your channel and never left. Your low-key approach is just perfect. Occasionally, you get into technical aspects, whether computer equipment or making reservations or finding something, and I like that even more. I hesitate to say anything because your videos seem just right, so I’ll just say feel free to give us the technical and logistical side of things every so often. Thanks!

We love this cool vibes, simple bungalows on the beach, nothing posh.

After watching this I just spent five days on Koh Chang. Stayed in the Secret Garden resort, and had sundowners at the Rasta View bar as well visiting one of the best bars in Thailand Indie Beach. Was fortunate to be there last night when the live band was on and it was epic. Fortunately I live in Hua Hin so could make the trip fairly easy. I’d never been to Koh Chang before and even though it rained for a couple of days still had a great time. I wasn’t prepared for the steep inclines to and from the Secret Garden but at least I could walk on the beach to and from Indie Beach bar who also do great food. I had lunch at I Do I Do yesterday and that was great as well. Keep up the tremendous vlogs 👍🏻

I make it to the end of most of your videos. I understand that some folks think your videos are too long, but I binge watch several in a row, so it works for me. Thank you for providing the volume of helpful info on the places you visit.

Yhaa mom , cold beer and sandy beach my rasta wish coming true ! LOL going to Koh Chang in November thank you for super Vids so helpful ! Enjoy mon !!

A great video as always.

Oh yeeeaah! New episode 👍🏻🇧🇻

Yay, you found Rasta View. Loved Klong Koi too. Enjoying this series and reliving our Koh Chang visits x

Loving the vids and the journey buddy, ideally this is what I want to be doing and vloogging when the time comes, great work.

Amazingly informative and entertaining video as always!

Fantastic work!

Always a treat to watch STL.... You make my Fridays..... Hope you are well :-)))

Gorgeous bars and beaches!

Wow,thats is special,all those gems close by each other. You never wan a leave any more.😇

love your vlogs ... happy about they are now not that short anymore

Another great Vlog I was not expecting the view of the lake that was stunning. I like the many Rasta bars very cool and I like to smoke . I haven’t seen any in Vietnam but we are definitely 20 or 30 years behind Thailand when it comes to tourism. Thanks for the uploads.

Hiya. Great video as always. Envious of your travels. Always so informative. Great places to stay. And go. Bars and Beaches. Your chicken curry looked good. Beautiful views. You are great for always sharing the info. Maya's guesthouse looks lovely. Chilled vibes as always. So many lovely places. Rasta bar. Love it. Love your vibes. Thank you for sharing. Have a lovely weekend.

another good video......been to the Rasta bar last time I was in Koh Chang....nice vibe

Definitely going to go there next time I’m in Thailand, looks amazing and the accommodation you’re looking at is just up my street - perfect 🤩

Wonderful...real gems to find

I had my best holiday feeling ever on a 9 day stay on Koh Chang. Was there in 2017 together with my gf and our (then) 17 year old daughter. Never felt happier on a holiday as those days. Always enjoying your videos. Thanks for them !

Always make it to the end with your video's. You convinced me to go back and explore Koh Chang in october (if the weather let's me). I've been to Koh Chang once before but stayed on white sand beach.

You can not overstate that island! Wow!

great vlog looks like you were in your element/good space

Really enjoyed this one loved the Rasta bar with the view. Your surprised anyone watches these videos meanwhile I'm sitting here like what's taking him so long to upload. Lol. Love the content and appreciate you taking us along for the journey while also providing great Intel along the way.

Cant wait for your new videos! You give me alot of motivation to go to work so i can afford going this winter lol Also, i would highly recommend going around the island to the east side, the roads and views are amazing there on Koh Chang

Great video as always , I would stay where you was . Always watch to the end . Never to long . You do a great job and makes me want save even more to get there again . Can’t wait for next video #1 utuber STL in my eyes

Wow, what a beach…….life in paradise doesn’t get much better!

Wow never been koh chang but I'm but will definitely be having a month there soon..keep up the fantastic work 👍👍

Too much fun 👌 - Thanks again for doing the hard yards for us 😎 - so good 🍻👊👍🙏

Id stay by the beach, great video very chilled

Enjoying your videos! Thanks 🙏🏼 I have been to Koh Chang some times, but never went after Lonley Beach. Because of your video, I will do next time 🤗

Coming to Koh Chang in three weeks, thanks for filming Klong Kloi, def worth checking out!

Yet another gem my saved videos on you tube is full of your vlogs so much information & great places to see & stay thanks again when I finally retire to Jomtien a lot of my trips will be based around your vlogs 👍👍👍

Just had a great dinner at Suchada Villa Restaurant!! Thank you for recommending.

There is something about your voice that i can not describe even to myself. You sound so calming, so comforting... Every video you make feels like a therapy. I can not thank you enough for doing this. Wish you all the best friend. Hope this lasts as long as possible. Cheers!

Love all your videos and this was a gem. I wasn't going to retire unitl 65. (I'm 54) I may bring it forward 10 years. I've found my Thai island destination, and the Rasta Bar sold space cakes. Nuff said!

Totally subscribed to his TikTok - the video was NOT boring and yeah that beach is about to get a lot more popular!

Rasta view one of our favorites.👍😜. Friendly people, great view across bay. 😁

Oh my goodness! I do love the way you find these beautiful and inexpensive places to stay, holidays are too short to even touch the surface 😅. Liked the free sunbed observation 😉.

Catching up late. Great video as usual.

My Canadian brother the production values of your videos are superb like i'm on the beach already and the music is just totally "Irie Bredda".

Thanks for the video 🙂👍 that is my favourite island in Thailand. I think that Koh Chang is still island where local People go for weekends and longer holidays

Watched till the end 😉 My favorite YTer from Thailand, and somehow you keep me interested the whole way until the video ends. Following you since you had just a few videos on a channel and will watch your videos even when I go back to SEA (for a longer time). Much love and respect ❤️

Really enjoying your videos, we’ve been watching from the start. We’ve got three months booked next year starting in January. We’ve got two weeks booked in Koh Chang and it’s one we haven’t been to before.Thanks for showing us Koh Chang love the Rasta bars too. Cheers

Great videos!

Oh man, so many accommodations you’re showing. Heading back to Koh Chang again this Saturday and can’t decide where to stay. Thanks for the amazing vlogs!

Klong Kloi would be my choice. I love the individual huts on the beachfront. Those big apartment blocks just don't have the same appeal for me. Gorgeous beach and so much to explore 🙂

Amazing video my friend beautiful place excellent footage fantastic job Big Big Like 😊👍👍👍🇮🇹🌴

I have a pretty good feeling, that I will be spending a good portion of this winter, in or around the Ginger Home restaurant and bar. Thank you, good sir, for the introduction! 🙏🎸🇯🇲🏝️😎

Really like your way of showing different places, very nice channel. Good luck to you! I have been to Thailand only once, but dreaming of coming back.

Great video me and my wife are going there middle of October for a week should be fun thanks for always stopping by I sure do appreciate it stay safe

YEAAAH !! New Video =)

Great video thanks

You’ve transported me to yet another fantastic tropical island paradise! As always, superbly done in every aspect… the ‘exploration’ angle of each of your gem videos is addictive!

Thanks, Matey! Rasta Ahoy!

Wow what a great video. Love the wandering style. That is how you find the gems. Thanks so much for sharing

Looks great! We have bungalows reserved the later part of June at BangBoa beach resort. I love vlogs. It gives me a current heads up before I go

hi once again from yyc..another incredible video, beautiful scenery and I love all the accomodations you,ve visited! Much appreciated if I was ever to visit(and sometime in the future perhaps). Time will tell!! Your living the life, good on you for chice, some of us are hesitant to relociate. Alas I!m in mouring, Flames no longer now its Oilors and I"m not a fan. Enjoy paradise !

I would stay anywhere you showed..such a nice island vibe...howaa

What a great video again. I'm literally addicted to your channel. I don't know if i should wish that you would stay at Koh Chang forever so that these wonderful videos never end or that someday i can move there myself and never turn back. Totally paradise...

Fantastic, keep it up.. 👌👌👌

Watched to the end, hoping for a view of long beach on the other side, ko chang looking great again 👍 is Thor's Palace open on white sands? His clifftop cocktail bar was amazing too.

10:09 - beautiful sand and beach. Free beds and relaxed !

Answering your question I would rather stay at Klong Kloi. I like the peace there and the laid back area. Very nice. Great video. Thanks for all of the info for this area!

Very chill! I know Koh Chang fairly well or i thought i did lol, the Thai for cat is meow, that's so cute

Hi sidetriplife been koh chang many times never made it past bang bao going back in 2 weeks will definitely check this area out cheers cobber.

Good stuff. Thanks.

Just spending 2 weeks on koh chang ...your videos big help ..really enjoying pens bungalow and klong kloi

Amazing, just can't wait till retirement in 2.5 years and than i will relocate from wet Holland to Thailand. hope to visit all the gems you show us.

You made me book the same place you stayed. Thanks for the great information.

When we first visited Thailand it was Koh Samui we went to. Lamai. Loved it so much we've been back every year since excepting the Covid years. It's beautiful there and we love it but maybe we're guilty of being in a comfort zone because you have truly opened our eyes to so many gems. Krabi, Railay, Koh Chang is stunning and some of your best work but for me Khanom was my favourite. And relatively 'undiscovered' so to speak. Loved your Khanom vlogs. But anyway. Samui again in 6 weeks I'm practically agog at the thoughts of being back.

Glad you got to meet our friends Chan & Ginger. Two of the nicest and most creative people one could meet. Love your vids. Thanks.

awesome stuff.

Great work Koh Chang is amazing

I love with this beach. By far my favourite on the island. First time I came I also left from Sea Flower. I've made the trip 4 times in the last week. Today I'm staying in White Sands Beach and I still rode all the way to Klong Kloi for the day. The nice thing is that once you get to Lonely Beach, well, even a bit north of that, the drive to Klong Kloi is just beyond gorgeous. The downside is it looks like a great place to hang out at night and I totally missed that. Spot on about the beach loungers. This is the only place I've ever found outside of the old Sihanoukville, Cambodia before that got bulldozed, that you can sit on a lounger and no one will even come and ask you if you want anything. This beach has that old Sihanoukville vibe, which I felt immediately. I've been here eight days now and wanted to explore for myself, but now going through your videos to make sure I don't miss anything. I have watched these before, and they are pretty much what inspired me to check out Koh Chang.

Super great video 👍

This is my favorite spot that I have seen you visit.

“I’m astonished anyone watches these things.” 🤣😂 Well, you are entertaining and have fun and informative commentary - not to mention the appropriate enthusiasm for your incredible surroundings! 😎 Appreciate you sharing all that you do! Including singing a Will Nelson song instead of Bob Marley. It still worked. Haha ☺️ And cheers. Keep holding the fort down there in Thailand until I can get back! 😋😉

One of my favourite islands in Thailand, must get back there soon, although my current focus is in the Phuket area.

Great video, as usual. Keep up the good work. BTW, if you ever feel like doing a who new series with a LOT of condo + rooftop pool videos, I would watch them all. I've seen the previous ones, but I know there are a lot more options just waiting to be shown!

Bet you were in heaven during this one, all your style, like Samui 25 years ago, all looks good, tough place to leave 😁

That little bridge crossing that cut about 200m off getting to that sweet little beach used to be a Super sketch footpath about .75 meter wide. We used to drive motos across it but it was about as sturdy as some of those rickety boardwalk ways at the pier. Nice to see someone improved it! That's also my favorite little chill beach.

I am so dreaming of being there! Hopefully someday!

I like your videos about Thailand. I lived in Vancouver for 7 years! Part time in Kitsilano. I was also a deckhand on a salmon trawler for 3 years, off Tofino and Ucluelet. I am originally from France but I got Canadian citizenship. Now living in a tropical island looking a bit like Thailand! I add on your chanel !

we stopped for a drink on that beach. Stunning location 👌

Just got back from this part of the island. Ginger was so happy when I showed her your video was the reason I went to her bar. Also did the other reggae bar onvthe main road. Great place for a relaxing few days. My only grip is it's not great for walking and I love walking.

🙏🏻. Nice video

I’ve done a few videos there myself but surprised you walked past Klong Kloi Cottages just before the massage lady will be back there again end July, great video though 😎

Not for nothing STL, but great music bed for this! 🙌🏻 You turned me on to this Lars dude.

Great video, I appreciate the prices and names. We will be there in February. 4th time to Thailand
