Jamie's still photos are amazingly good; their country and culture is fascinating to see and hear about. Wish them the best of luck on getting tourist there
It's a beautiful place, easy to get to (even without your own boat!) but with a secluded and remote vibe. We can't say enough how much we love this island. Liz x
just to let you know, kokomo resort has started an annual island clean up and also, arranged rubbish removal for the entire island amongst other preservation efforts
Absolutely beautiful...Bali before the Dutch, surfers and so so much tourism. I hope they can have their happy medium and attract and balance tourism with a little government support.
It really is very beautiful, Amanda. I hope they can find that balance.
Another great video from Follow the Boat. I was on Gili Trawangan in December of 1990, just over 32 years ago now. At that time, Gili Trawangan looked like Gili Gede today. There were very few places to stay. The villagers on Gili Gede have good ideas about not letting tourism developments get out of control too quickly. They certainly got the idea after watching developments on Gili Trawangan.
Exactly what Joe said! He worked on Gili T for a while and disliked it. Too noisy, too much drinking and nudity for his tastes. He loves tourists who are interested in the Sasak and local culture and have come to immerse themselves in somewhere different. Like everyone here, he's not anti-tourist, just not in favour of losing local culture. Liz x
I hope they succeed in their intent to preserve the natural beauty of the island...Liz, I can't wait to see your first octopus caught!
Haha! That evil-looking lure is wrapped up onboard at the moment, sharp edges safely covered up. I love octopuses too much to eat them. ♥️🐙 Liz x
Wow.. what an introduction! Liz, I can't figure out which of you has the better voice, but one thing is clear, you guys have a radio voice for sure. I recall not liking the slow pace at which you visit places, often taking weeks or a month, to dig into an island. But now I get it and love it. What a great way to spend your years - such a nice awesome relaxed way to go about life. It is perhaps the greatest luxury you can acquire - the time to visit and smell the flowers. Only wish we could achieve this at some point.
gotta love this video
Great episode! Thank you.
You are very welcome, thanks for the comment. 🙏 Liz
Thank you for putting an other item on my list of places to visit before I die.
Somehow I love unspoiled and real places instead of tourist traps.
Us too. There are plenty still left, but they're getting swallowed up. It was amazing to find somewhere so natural right next to Bali. ♥️ Liz
Fantastic film…thanks so much!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thanks for letting us know. 🙏 Liz
Good review it’s beautiful when the sun is shining
Even in the rains, it's stunning. 🙏 Liz
Already seen this episode. Commenting on this video to help your channel. Lol 😉
Live the island!
Am glad I stumbled onto your video, am booked for end August.....I can't wait!! The soul sometimes craves for places like this. Thank you for sharing.
I hope you love it as much as we do. 🙏 Liz
As always thanks guys! 😊
Our pleasure, mate. 🙏👌 Liz
Good insights into the daily lives of the island people! Thanx!
We think it's important to bring these idyllic locations to life through meeting the people who live there. So glad you enjoyed it. 🙏 Liz
Love you guys.
And we love you too. ♥️🙏 Liz
we really enjoyed this episode. thank you so much.
It took ages and was a labour of love. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. 💛 Liz
We were in Gili Asahan before covid. Beautiful little islands! Will be back soon!
Yes, they're still gorgeous. Some businesses have gone under because of the two year border closure, which is so sad. They're welcoming people with open arms now. 🙏 Liz
You guys are just fantastic love your videos thankyou😊
Thanks for letting us know you enjoy our work (I'm not sure we're fantastic, though)! 🙏💛Liz
Thank you for the new word. Salubrious. First time I ever heard it and I hope to be able to use it in conversation someday.
It's common in the UK to use the word 'salubrious' in an ironic way, i.e describing somewhere pretty run-down and unpleasant as 'salubrious'. Here Jamie used it in a non-ironic way, we love Gili Gede! Liz 💛
I like Gili gede very nice✌️✌️✌️✌️
Very nice ❤❤❤❤
So happy to know you enjoyed it.👍🙏 Liz
Very possibly my favorite FTB episode! How perfect that you ran into Joe when you did, i.e. not on the day you planned a tour with him but impromptu.
I replayed the sequence five or six times and am still at a loss: what is that animal walking up the felled tree trunk at 19:47?? Is it actually a horse?
Best regards.
Without scrolling through, I think you're talking about the goat? The island's full of cows, goats, chickens... 😁 Liz
I live in Bali, southern Gilis is the place i go when i visit lombok. Have yet to set foot on the northern Gilis.. 😂
Most of the time it's Gili Nanggu (since the 90s).
Opposite Marina Del Rey on the mainland is a nice small bungalow called Palmyra, also very nice and tranquil.
We feature Palmyra in the next episode, which came out yesterday.
Will watch that one soon!
Are you guys still in the area? What's next? Islands hopping to the east?
@@londobali the next bunch of videos will cover us going east to Labuan Bajo 😃👍
I'm sorry, I got Palmyra wrong. That features in the episode about gold mining.
Amazing island..❤❤
It's a gem. ♥️ Liz

Really informative video - we will be on Gili Gede in 42 days - not that I’m counting!!- I would love to know what gifts we could take for the locals ?
You'll love it.
The best gift is your presence, eating in restaurants, buying from shops and from fishermen. Engage with the people, they'll love it. 🙏 Liz
@@followtheboat I’m so looking forward to it - first time to the southern Gilis - 3 days Gede, 3 days Asahan . I’ll be taking small toys, colouring pencils etc for the kids 😀😀
Try to avoid plastic gifts... Liz
do you recall the kiwi and german guys accom place name?
Papalagi Resort and Khabita Resort. Khabita was still being built but check Papalagi on Google maps.
@@followtheboat thanks guys.that eco resort is tempting, i regret not buying land in patong beach 40 years ago.
@@simonhantler8062 I'm sure that land on Patong would be worth a bob or two but it's a ghastly place 😁
@@followtheboat you’re right but 40 years ago it was a very different place. i haven’t been there since as most of thailand is so disappointing now. they have been worn out by 40 years of tourism.
@@simonhantler8062 couldn't agree with you more there. Phuket generally is a great case study in tourism done to death.
donot go tourist....it will destroy your island and your lives....it always ends the same. learn now without the bad experience
Have you had a bad experience of unspoiled places that have 'gone tourist', or know someone who has? I'm interested in this topic as it is what we want to cover in next week's video podcast. Liz
