- BACKPACKING THAILAND 🇹🇭 EPISODE 14 📍KOH TAO
The next stop on our backpacking adventure was the small island of Koh Tao. Famous for scuba diving! I'm really looking forward to getting into the diving but as for this vlog, my boyfriend Jérémy and I arrived on the island and visited Koh Nang Yuan Island where you have the famous Thailand viewpoint! We had a little snorkel around before getting absolutely caught in the rain. We were staying at Summer hostel in Koh Tao which I'd highly recommend. Our room was really nice and the staff were super friendly.

ABOUT ME🙋🏻♀️
I'm Christianne, a solo traveller, vlogger and entrepeneur from Surrey, UK. I spend half my time exploring new places around the globe with my backpack, and the other half creating videos about my experiences, what I'm packing, solo travel advice, money budgeting tips and anything else in relation to my backpacking lifestyle.

FAQ's
How do you afford to travel? - I now earn a full time living through creating these UA-cam videos, affiliate links, selling digital products and my clothing line. I used to simply just work any temporary job I could find to save up to travel! I budget the money I earn meticulously to reach my savings goals using www.backpackingbananas.com/pr...
Is travelling solo safe? - I would argue the answer is almost always yes! As long as you use your common sense and you follow your own government's guidelines about travelling in that country. I have made several videos on backpacking safety on my channel.
Do you have plans to settle down? Yes, I'm currently saving to purchase my first property in the UK and I'd love to have children one day. I doubt I'll ever live a completely 'conventional' lifestyle by society's standards though, as I often have my own preferred way of doing things.

I’m off to Thailand in two weeks and I’m addicted to this series ! Thank you so much for this it’s given me so many ideas for places and hostels to visit, and made me so much less nervous about the whole trip.
Yayy ❤️ I hope you have a wonderful time! Still lots more vlogs to come 😊
Dear Daisy, welcome you to the land of smiles in advance. Wish you find the best people along the way and make the greatest memories of your life here.
LOVE Koh Tao, have so many funny memories doing my PADI advanced open water there! I've been watching your content for years and it's great to re-live places through your eyes. You were one of the reasons I took the leap to doing a WHV in Australia. Stayed there for 3 years and it was the best decision of my life. My friend actually met you quite a few months back in Tulum, she's now doing her freediving masters in Honduras! Love your videos, always find them so informative and inspiring, I'm hoping that one day we'll cross paths somewhere off travelling! All the best Christianne :)
Great video that shines a great light on our little patch of paradise. Can't wait to see the next one.
This place is magnificent! Watching this just makes me feel good! So very atmospheric and scenic, loving the combined audio and visuals.
Me and my partner have just started our round the world trip and are documenting it on our channel @onewayticket2022! We would really appreciate a subscribe/like if you enjoy the content! I hope you don’t mind me commenting! x
Oh my the nostalgia this vlog gave me, I went to Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan right before covid and had the time of my life
Oh I love the views!! The water is so clear 😍 Really enjoying your vlogs as always!
I'm going to start my travelling adventure later on this yesr and this helps loads!! This series is perfect rn!!!
Brings back memories.. I did my PADI open water on Koh Tao 15 years ago! I never made it on that hike, the views are gorgeous. As you may find out when you dive, there is a place to dive very close to Koh Nang Yuan. Can't wait to see your dive video. Have a blast! It is the best place to dive in Thailand, besides the Similian Islands.
I was in Koh Tao just 2 months ago and stayed in summer hostel as well! Very nice hosts, loved it there.
I actually did do one of those snorkelling tours you talked about and it was so worth it! We even saw turtles on one of the snorkel spots!
When we went up the viewpoint of the island with the tour it was indeed very crowded but the tour guides took professional photos up there for every guest.
I don't watch television I have a few UA-camrs I love to follow. As I was watching a couple I follow on UA-cam yesterday they were talking how they met at the moon party. Sharing some of the same places you had just been to. Really cool to hear other UA-camrs talk about the moon party. I may be a bit older but it is now on my bucket list. 🌺🌼🌺
I used to live on koh tao and it’s the most amazing place, lovely to see it again through you
1:20 the Lomprayah company boat ride is a must. its a double hull boat and the way its cuts through water at a high speed is just amazing. especially on a very calm sea, the experience is superb. i took a ride from Ko Tao to Chumphon.
Love these songs you picked for background musics. Always suitable for the scenes.
Ko Nang Yuan is a small island very close to Ko Tao. It is famous for its diving spots and its great snorkeling beach. Many day trippers come from the islands of Ko Tao, Ko Pha Ngan and Ko Samui, as well as from Surat Thani and Chumphon on the Thai mainland.
OMG so jealous! It looks amazing. When we traveled Thailand we didn’t make it to Koh Tao but it’s now on our list for when we come back!! Thanks for inspiring us to travel, this year we quit our jobs and are traveling the world full time finally! We actually also went to Puerto Escondido after watching your videos hahaha Keep these vlogs up!
Deffo worth a visit next time you’re in Thailand! I feel like I keep discovering so many new cool places 😍
I really like this series! Such an adventure and I’m looking forward to the dive video.
Thank you Bill! Thailand is an absolute cracker of a country
Great video wonderful Christie!!! 💖 The island looks amazing!!!
Wow, this looked like paradise 😍 I also couldn't help but chuckle when you talked about how you'd chosen the cheaper, slower ferry, then said the name of it... high speed catamaran. I feel like they may need to re-brand if if a faster competitor has rocked up, lol! 🤣
Koh Tao reminds me of Kefalonia Greece. So beautiful. Awesome video, thanks for sharing!
thats another island i want to go to, thanks for the amazing videos & i cant wait to go there myself.
Beautiful place. Loving the videos.👍😊
Been following for years
Chin up love, relationships are always sad when they end and as you know it doesn’t last too long
Enjoy the rest of your time there xx
Got my Thai Pass approved this week and cannot wait to to the islands ☺️
I am loving your Thailand vids!
I'm so invested in yalls trip. I'm like sad for when it's gonna be over even though that could be 4 months from now lol
I'm heading there on 27th of March, currently in Chiang Mai, off to Phuket. The last 3 times I've done this trip the sun's been roasting but on the Weather apps it says it's storms for next 14 days unfortunately, but it doesn't look so bad, just cloudy.
Love the series. Dan.
Probably my favourite Thai island 🥰 I was there about 5 years ago, it's so nice to see it again on your vlog :)
It’s deffo one of my favourites too!!
I’ve only been to koh Tao but it’s my favorite too🤣
Beautiful views. Enjoyable video. Thank you for sharing.
❤️❤️❤️
Wow that view point and the emerald cedar water!! Look Fab!!
So beaut 😍
I miss Koh Tao. I did my Advanced Open Water course here on my last trip outside of North America before COVID
Thank you so much for extending your visa again in my beloved country. 🙏🙏🇹🇭🇹🇭💕💗❤️
Believe me this is the best time to travel Thailand, pre-covid, it was so crowded at Koh Tao.
It’s definitely had its pros 😍
Great channel, and amazing place, the best island in the world !
Oh wow you’re a cool chick ! Stumbled upon your vids ! I’ve been to a lot of your Thai vid places but an over 20 years ago now! Your vids bringing back some ace memories!!
Was meant to learn how to scuba dive here in 2020, hoping to get there later this year!! Amazing video, as always
Oohhh yes! It will be fab when you do 😍
Obsessed with your Thai vids
I will be going to Brazil for my brother's wedding in 2 months! My first time out of the country when I did a mini Europe tour of my own devices back in 2017. I am so excited! I will be staying in the city Jundiai. Do you know of anyone who has maybe filmed in this city? I know it's not as popular as Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro, but it does have a population of over 400,000, so I'm hoping some travelers have filmed their journey and showed some of the sites. I'm excited to see my future brother-in-law's home city. The Portuguese is worrying me though. It doesn't seem as easy to pick up as Spanish tends to be. Anyway, thank you for all of the fun content. I hope to be you when I grow up. (Yes I'm older than you. No we don't have to talk about that. Ha!) Safe travels!
I was here 3 weeks ago and did a full day snorkeling tour for 500 baht including lunch, coffee, tea, fruit and pictures they took of us!
Waw! Another awesome place to visit! The mountaintop views are just breathtaking. Btw, were those crickets singing in the background up there? And was your GoPro trying emulate them in the water? Lol! Looking forward to your next video! 😎👍
Wow! It's crazy there was no queue as I went in 2018 and we waited for ages to get to the top!
when I went pre-covid it was extremely busy. Completely full with people.
Some places reminded me of Tyrone National Park (Colombia) Beautiful ..!
As for lost luggage, it's best to hide an Apple AirTag for Samsung SmartTag in your bag. Both have very good location tracking whereas TILE trackers do not. Samsung SmartTag+ (plus) has a more accurate location ability but 1/2 the battery life than the previous two.
I'm Thai, I wish you safe travels, have a nice trip to Thailand
Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Man i wish i could teleport💜 love it
Make sure you make the hike to the abandoned resort! It is not to be missed
Great advice! I love that hike :-)
So wild that you’re gonna be back in oz very soon 🤙😱 safe travels
So soon!
Earlyyyy!!! Loved your thailand series :) planning to go there this year. Your vlogs are helpful! 💕
Thanks Denise ❤️❤️
You try to visit Mae Hong Son a little bit. You will be addicted to the cool atmosphere.🥰♥️
I’ve just started watching your videos and I love them! How were the conditions on the boat?? I had one of the worst days of my life taking the high speed ferry a day before a tropical storm. Was horribly sea sick with the rest of the boat for almost two hours on the way to koh Tao! Felt sick for a day after! Safe travels!
I am pretty sure the music used at 4:32 is also used in Arrested development :D
This was one of my favourite islands, check out Savage Hostel is Koh Tao, it's amazing!
Oh cool, never heard of it! Will have to look next time 😊
I used rpm when we went to koh tao! Koh Tao has the best beaches I’ve ever seen in my life, if you’re comfortable to take the moped on some dodgy roads.
The guy is so nice isn’t he!
❤️❤️❤️
Omg love your backpack cover! Great for protection, where can I get one?
Can you please do a video comparing the three islands and telling the pro´s and con´s of each, If you could only choose one for relax and snorkeling which one would it be? thank you!! (traveling in june)
🌹🌹спасибо за видео очень красиво ✌✌🌺
Staring at your pink glasses... where you get if from? I love it.. 💕
I'm really enjoying this series!! I have lots of mobility issues and could probably not do most of your activities, so I'm living vicariously through you (:
One question! Does Jeremy work online, too? How does he make money as he travels with you? (Sorry if that's too personal of a q, no need to answer if it is!!)
I was actually wondering the same about Jeremy's situation haha! Just because I'm curious to know about the different ways people are able to travel for an extended period ☺️
I saw her comment on a different video that he is an engineer (I think) and that he is taking time off so isn’t currently working!
@@celiakistner323 Ah okay cool, thanks! :)
Idk,but it’s sad that they broke up
Hey I absolutely love your vlogs! I was just wondering what license you have to ride the scooters/motorbikes in thailand? and if you need one? thankyou
Hi, I can answer this for you....nobody ever asks for any kind of licence when renting bikes in Thailand! However, It's sensible to make sure that you're competent to ride one, and it's vital to check your travel insurance covers you when riding.
loved this outro song, anyone know what its called? maybe hard to find with it presumably being copyright free?
I'm planning solo travelling Thailand starting in June! Do you think the atmosphere is almost back to normal after covid? Afraid I'll go over and find it hard to meet people with Covid rules still in place!
Hello Christiana I have two questions that really are not travel related so if you don’t answer it’s no big deal. First did you ever recover your Colombian hate and if you did do you not travel with it because of packing it is harder. Second question the star necklace you wear must be special because your always wearing it I’m just curious. Have a great time . Thanks
Where I want to be right now...
Hiii, Love your videos! I've got a question. Do you have a motorcycle driving license? Because these 'scooters' are all 100+ CC and you need a proper license for that. If not how do you do it? Much loveee from Holland!
Thailand do not require you to have any specific motorcycle license to rent these. Though your insurance back home might have a problem with it!
I can't find yout burgundy backpack anywhere!!
How do you travel from country to country during the pandemic since they ask for negative COVID testing? I’m planning to backpack South America this summer and I don’t know how to do it with all of the COVID testing restrictions ! Any suggestions ?
You just comply with them 😅 you can get tested pretty much anywhere in the world so anything is possible!
I’m going to Thailand next month and your videos have been so helpful to watch! Regarding visas, did you arrive using the visa exemption scheme (30days no visa) and then just apply for an extra 30 days whilst in Thailand? :)
Yep, exactly that!
Amazing, thank you so much!
Hello!! Loving your Thailand videos!
How do you do with the bike rental. Do you leave a deposit or the passport?
Thank you :)
You can leave either, I prefer leaving a deposit
@@BackpackingBananas that's what I was thinking! Thank you!!! :)
Just turned 24 and CAN'T decide where to solo travel first, so Christianne please just choose for me so I can start looking at flights.
I’ve got just the video for you Lincoln! 😅 ua-cam.com/video/Zs07kLRXW5A/v-deo.html
A bit unlucky with the weather
🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️🙏👍👌🤗🌺😍🥰
Love from Adeel Karachi Pakistan
Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!
NO. Stay away from Death Island.
Nonsense
The island of mysterious deaths
Not really true, what's troubling you?
This place is very dangerous for anyone planning to go… just saying 👍
Hi good day! I'm Fawfaw. Can i ask if you do the advertisement about mining? If you are interested you can send me a message so that we can discuss. Thank you.
