Khanom and Sichon are great places for mature expats away from the tourist trail. That was the point of this video.

Good to hear from you and I hope all is well. Not sure how we can connect without plastering our contact info on YT...

If you are still in the condo that you told me about on the flight, then I could send you a message through the post office with my number and email.

Just let me know. If not, perhaps we’ll bump into each other somewhere along the way.

Not sure if you received my other message or not. My thought was to sent you my phone number and email through the post office if you are still living in the same condo that you had told me you were staying at.

Thank you so much for the encouraging words. We're just doing this UA-cam thing for fun but it is rewarding to hear people like what we do.

Have a great time! Hopefully you'll have a rental vehicle so you can explore the area.

🙏

It's always more expensive at a beach, that's not a foreigner thing. But yes, the surf can get rough at times during the off season. Still, we think it's a great area.

Thank you for the kind words. It's tough to stay ahead of the tourism parade so it's refreshing to find places like Khanom, Sichon and Baan Krud beaches. Happy travels!

Thank you 🙏

We also did a video in Khao Lak. The beaches are probably a bit better because it's the Andaman vs. the Gulf but its very close. The real difference is your preference for a sunrise or a sunset beach. I know, tough choice...

Yes, we were very impressed with the lifestyle on offer in the area. Perfect beach retirement place.

That villa was about twice what you quoted and in our experience in Thailand it was worth every baht.

@@unconventionaljourney That's just what I found online while I watched your video. I tried it for this month and in December, which is the time that I will be down in that area...they may be raising their prices ???? I would love to stay there but at those prices and traveling for months, it isn't going to happen for me.....thanks for the vid though.

​@@makiavelli6101 Check out the Sunshine Paradise Resort just a little north. See the first video in our southern road trip series as we stayed there and it was a bit cheaper. Good luck!

Great meeting you guys too and hope to see you over here. Soon. Enjoy fall in NYC!

Our channel is pretty small so I don't think we'll move the needle but I think about it every time we showcase some of the lesser known areas of Thailand.

Wow, we are definitely cut from the same cloth ;-). We just got back to Thailand last week and will be here until May or June. Please let us know when you'll be here next and hopefully we can get together and maybe share an adventure. Love your channel!

@@unconventionaljourney Thank you so much! And yes we would love to meet you! We'll be in Thailand in October and Feb-March. 🙂👍

We already have travel plans for October so let's shoot for your February/March trip. ​@@thethailandtravellers

@@BobSchiff Perfect! Enjoy your travel in October😊

Thanks! Are you on fb? Not sure if it's you I sent a friend request.

Thanks Noriko! It really is beautiful You & Mel should definitely take a trip here!🫰

@@unconventionaljourney We really enjoy your adventure😃😃Thank you Paula & Bob!🫰

We drove but I think there might be a train that stops in the area too. This whole area has not been hit by mass tourism so the beaches are all pretty nice. It's more a matter of finding the right accommodations for you. We like Sirarun and also the resort nearby Sunshine Paradise that was in the first video of this road trip series. Best of luck and have a great trip!

Thanks for watching. This one showcased a few great places well off the tourist trail.

That chicken was world class!

We're kinda new to this UA-cam thing but in the future we'll try to remember to keep track of prices as we go. Thanks for the suggestion!

I've rented from Pop in Chiang Mai before I bought the BMW. Here's the Google Map link: maps.app.goo.gl/avKqeyqzpPAbepdS6

Yes, my bike is a BMW 1250 GS factory lowered. I recommend POP in Chiang Mai (maps.app.goo.gl/Mrms4qickWkHZy7M8) for rentals. Several years ago I rented a Honda Africa Twin from them and had a great experience.

Great meeting you guys too. Hopefully we can share our next dinner together in Thailand!

I am ... who do you think was behind the camera 🤔

Thank you for the kind words. This was a beautiful place.

Thank you!

Phang Nga bay is one of the most beautiful and geologically dramatic places in the world. If you get the chance to visit ... go!

Great question! If you're just asking about water we'd have to say something on the Andaman coast only because the Chao Phraya river empties into the Bay of Thailand so any of the beaches surrounding the bay while fine can't possibly be as clean as those of the Andaman. If you're really asking about beaches then that's a really tough question as there are many criteria that go into evaluating a beach. Bottom line is we don't have a best but our favorite is the beach at Prachuap Kiri Khan that we showcased in Episode #1 of this Southern Thailand Road Trip series.

I must say...we are loving it!!! Thanks for your comments 🙂

Sorry but I'm not on any social media except for this UA-cam channel.

Thanks Jami. Come visit and we'll put you in our next video...

We were blown away by how good the food was at that restaurant.

Thanks Maybe one day we can enjoy it together🫰

Thank you so much for the kind words.

Quite the contrary...

Glad you are enjoying the videos. You'll have to come experience it for yourselves. Miss you too!

You are very lucky to live in such a beautiful place. I hope it stays that way.

It was island living as it should be. ... no cars, no big resorts, no mass tourism.

🤗

Thank you!

Glad you found us and thanks for the compliments! Funny you should mention the lack of food commentary because virtually all our other videos are food heavy. When we stay at the 2 resorts in Prachuap Kiri Khan we don't leave the place. The food at the resorts in good and we have many opportunities in our travels to eat more "local" fare elsewhere. That said there is a small town nearby that I'm sure has good options.
