I’ve been trying to figure out how to get a longer visa so I can travel for a 3 - 6 months but not having much luck with the convoluted confusing system. What’s the best visa for me?
Think the ill named 'STV' visa is still in place (?) which grants 90 days +extension. But best check with your local Thai Embassy (or website).
to the viewer who cursed at me in a comment insinuating I don't like his music thus people, I approved your comment but it looks like it's being ghosted by YT, not me (I didn't mind but probably for cursing I guess). Anyways will paste my response below as it doesn't appear either:
Lol. Actually, LOVE old school rap, before it became mostly grown men (black&white) mainly bragging about themselves ala 'imma biggest imma baddest' blah blah.... zzzz ... yawn.... (sorry;) PS: also mentioned not a fan of soppy pop music.... (uh-oh, in trouble again lol;) btw, my fav all time rap tune: ua-cam.com/video/uzgBD2wysuI/v-deo.html peace, STL
Oh mate That is truly complete an utter total paradise! Thanks for making a video that keeps me working harder so I can come for six weeks of Christmas!
Generally all the TV is in Thai and most of the shows terrible so you're much better to travel with a laptop and watch UA-cam and whatnot ...
TVs are good for hooking your laptop to so you have a larger screen to watch stuff. That’s what I do when I travel. I also recommend a wireless mouse and keyboard. Btw I also do this at home.
I have been living in Chiang Mai and visiting Koh Chang for years. Great to see it coming back to life. And you visit places I have not been which encourages me to go visit them too. Thanks eh. Kevin from Oakville, Ontario
great video
i going there based on this video!!!
stayed tuned
I miss living in Thailand and traveling to all the fun islands there. 💕
That place looks amazing
Yes we have heard it’s only temporary until the markets are finished being rebuilt. That will be very different carpark underneath and two levels of markets we think.😊
Will be there in February can’t wait to be back.
Thanks for showing us around ❤
Its really nice you make a video without any music in the video ( only the music of the bars- cafe´s) and just like it really is. How it would be to walk around there. :-) makes the video really calming and good to watch.
Thanks for the fantastic video. So many years on lonely beach.. I even seeing my appartment. Regards jeff
Nice one Jeff! You must have some stories and wonderful memories from living on LB :)
I ate in exactly that place with an amazing sunset. I love Koh Chang, been 3 times, booked for October again.
Nice!
This is exactly what I want to experience in Thailand. I’m coming in September, hoping the rains hold of for my visit . 🙏
Titanic not titank. Look at the C on the Koh Chang and you'll see its the same font as the C at the end of Titanic and not the K as in the Koh. I dont know, cant get the staff these days.
Yep, I mangled that one Tim. Wasn't the painter's fault, rather my eyes and once 'tank' registered with me apparently it was embedded lol. Another viewer points out the 'c' was '
That was a fantastic trip down memory lane, thanks 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Just A W E S O M E as per usual.
Makes me just wanna jump on a plane ✈️ and get there.
Rasta rustic bar
Food
Cold beers
Good music

That is LIFE
LIVING at its very best
Love it 🥰 👌😃
Greetings from freezing 🥶 Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Thx. Perfect checklist right there (and bet Melbourne still lovely despite a bit of chill :) STL

End of January 2022, A trip by car to Koh Chang was my gift to my girlfriend for her birthday (her suggestion though, ha ha), it was the most exciting and amazing 10 days so far in Thailand, and I've been all over it. We stayed at Marina Sands Resort, with their private beach, top place and it was so cheap.
I visit Ko Chang 30 years ago, it was bungalows on the beach. $2 a night…..
Oh Koh Chang is it MAN GI 😂 I'm lovin this vid wow cheap n cheerful all right... Rasta
Yet another top video......can't wait to get back to log chang.......
Cheers Stu the Righteous (love that nic btw;) STL
So want to visit this island a little taste of old Thai island life great price info thankyou
Working on retirement in Thailand with my very dear friend, this place looks like paradise.
What you see in the video and what is reality are very, very different. You'll be bored out of your mind in less than a month.
This looks like a very chill affordable spot away from the more touristy spots like Phuket and Phi Phi. Thing is, Koh Chang isn't really much different than any beach spot you can find on Koh Tao, Koh Phangan or really any of the dozens of islands in Thailand. These spots while charming, all kinda look exactly the same. Still worth checking out.
Hiya, the prices always shock me. So cheap for a slice of paradise. Love a bit of drone footage. You did well. They are not easy to fly. Great video. Beautiful sunset. Always chilled vibes. No, no-no. Yes, yes, yes. Love it. Leo's bar has great vibes. Always watch your full video. Have a great weekend. Somehow I have missed a few vids. So catching up.
Thanks :) PS 'Somehow I have missed a few vids' says Nicky in between walking Mr Wiggle Butt, filming her yummy cooking vids or being a super-mod lol.
I love the comments you put across the bottom it helps me I can pause the video and write stuff down thank you very much I also love that there is no crap music I tend to enjoy the same music you do thank you again
Thanks Jackie. STL
I love everything about your vlogs mate.dont change anything.i love your come along with me as i explore style and the cost detail you share.your vlogs are a fantastic resource for anyone intending to travel to thailand in the near future.thank you very much for sharing.p.s.i am very envious🙂
Cheers Atiamuri! STL
Hi sidetriplife nature beach resort always busy bit pricey if you there for long time but good for sunset chill out, normally stay warapura resort which is now split with casa beach resort really great rooms from around 800 baht will try out sunflower for a change when I get back next month cheers.
Thanks fir the tips Tony :) STL
11:00 . Not much to do there. Thinking of your life. Relax and meditation
I really enjoyed the 'zen' of the place and just metres behind is the village so several cafes, bars, shops etc, plus Lonely Beach itself nearby so best of both.
A nice thing about the rocky beach, PRIVACY. Won't see too many folks walking around in that.
Agreed Bob. Balian next door even better.
Great coverage of the Lonely Beach area. Love it! Wish I was there right now. (Btw, not sure if you were joking, but the name of the restaurant is "Titanic.")
lol (at meself;) STL
Fantastic little place, amazing what a little cleaning and a few extras do for a room. The power board is one of my favourite travel hacks, that and never trust a fart.......
Sage travel advice right there lol
Great video! SO want to get there!!!
Thanks Marzee (you'll get here :)
Sorry if you already know, but Rude Boy is UK slang for a fan of Ska music which is kinda like reggae but faster and more urban. Please excuse if you already knew. 😁
Ah ha.... Thanks for that info, all makes sense now! Cherrs, STL (PS, any looking in, Cambodia borders are open again so for latest Cambo news check out 'For Riel' channel;)
Another great video STL! You have a great life! Two weeks to go before we arrive in Phuket - can’t wait to be back in Thailand. It’s been almost 3 years. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Add. 2 weeks to go after 3 years waiting? wow! Toes in sand on Phuket is gonna feel GREAT, enjoy! STL
Vdos can be longer
Love your content
Thankyou so much
Your videos are spot on. Perfect mix of places to stay , eating and drinking options as well as travel info all with clear pricing details. It all helps us to hit the ground running and save loads of time. Great job. Thanks .
My mouth dropped open from about 2 mins in and remained that way til the end! This is so amazing (freezing now in Chicago). How do I do this? Clearly so many people could afford this, a charm unmatched. Do you offer consulting services for a fee? I've been to a few places, but at my age I'm kind of on my own at this point. Have to try this!!!!!
Happy NEW Year David. Sorry, I don't do consulting but I would recommend you firstly come for a visit here before making any big decisions. Then you can better decide if the lifestyle and places may suit longer term. Have a great '23!
"Basic" is A-O.K. 400 basic is almost always best.👍🇹🇭
A bad boy from Sunshine Coast BC says thanks!
We'll come to Koh Chang in Jan, I know not to go to Coco, they rather serve large group than individual , great content you gave me some great information where to stay and eat.
Hi Tony. The big group at Coco had reserved the restaurant before I arrived. They offered to serve me too but it would take 30 mins as they were prepping the big group. So I just said no prob and went next door. So Coco is a good place too :) STl
YOu're really doing a much bigger thing here than just posting clips of a pretty destination, you're opening the door to life changing adventures to those who dont quite understand how to get there on their own. It's a wonderful thing, and you are really getting me ready to make the jump into my next life adventure. Where do you hang out the most? Are you staying in Thailand right now or elsewhere? How has it been for you with the inter-country travelling? Expensive? Have you found any areas outside of Bangkok that are kind of dangerous?
I spent a lovely week on Lonely beach in 2001 waiting for my India visa to process. Being just a few hours from Bangkok it was easy to get to.
So many amazing sunsets. They were just building a place at the end of the beach but otherwise nothing but coconut trees around the rocky shoreline back then. Thanks for the video. Happy Travels from Kamloops
Great memories! Thanks for sharing from Kamloops (great area too:) STL
are you from the UK? did you get your Indian visa, any problems?
Leo's bar, a platonic place to chill, a couple of 50 baht dishes, a couple of cokes, watch the sunset and then a good book before bed. Sleep in a hammock all day too ... where do I sign up? 😁
All your vids make me rethink Pattaya! I’m more of a beach/island guy. Are there places with female company available on the islands? Just curious, thanks for the vids
YOUR MISSION Ethan Hunt is to IMMEDIATELY put on your portable JETPACK and IMMEDIATELY fly from the balcony of your Luxury Bangkok condo to LONELY Beach Koh CHANG and give an UPDATE in December 2022. Nobody does the"Thai" beach vibe better than STL. Some PRETENDERS out there. But they are TRAGIC.
Good stuff. Just enough people to keep things interesting. Prices are great.
Cheers from Brampton Ontario. I love the unique places you find with price considerations, just beautiful. I hope to get to Thailand God willing, great channel by the way, live long and prosper young man.
@dabronks hello in Brampton and what a nice surprise! My 1st ever 'super thanks' contributor. You Tube said they added this feature but here in Thailand I can't see it and wondered if it really existed? Apparently yes! Much appreciated, STL (and may you get to Thailand soon:) PS: as my Canucks are already on the back 9 yet again, GO LEAFS!
Hey, how do u tip?
@Seffski Just watching is thanks enough but for tips UA-cam has also added a 'super thanks' which appears beside the like/subscribe area etc (but apparently it's not available in all countries). So if the box isn't appearing and any would still like to tip (not expected but greatly appreciated) I also have a Tip Jar, here: bit.ly/3Le6Ex8
Cheers, STL
From one Canadian to an other, great video. Just made it back to Thailand about a month ago, so happy to be back and making a new life here. you got yourself a new subscriber. 🇨🇦🇹🇭
Thanks Nick ST-Francois (and welcome back eh;) STL
Great stuff, STL. Can't wait to get back but will be a while for this traveler. Thanks for all the intel. Look forward to the next vid. Cheers!
fantastic, what am I doing in this hell LV NV?
I like your style of videos including prices and reviews on the fly.
Only someone called Leo would name his bar the Rude Boy Bar (-: I watched this vid three times today whilst cooking and eating my Thai Green Curry Mussels ... You'll see an interesting photo on my Instagram account. Enjoy (-:
Those spots are great, thanks for sharing! Always look forward to your new videos
Thanks Joe :)
Sometimes a place just hits you right between the eyes. This is that place for me. Great video! Every place you showed was well worth the rent. Something for everyone. I especially loved the 2nd place; the one you took 700baht. 1st one was ok too. All priced for your particular fit. Outstanding food, atmosphere & of course, ppl. Gonna have to follow your act, buddy. Like & subscribed! I'm very selective about my videos. Thailand & Vietnam. My 2 favorite places on the planet. As usual I stumbled upon you by accident. Pleasant surprise. Thanks alot!!!👍🇨🇷🍜🍤🏊
I was based in chanthaburi for a week, took a trip to koh chang, a long trip by scooter so of course stayed over in 2018. For one night at a rasta resort. I much prefer south of Bangkok. Living in ubon- ratchathani is quite different.
Always look at the SideTripLife , do do do =)
Thanks kindly Malin :) STL
Great Video!
Thanks! STL
Better to stay in Bailan than Lonely Beach, unless you like loud music till 6am
Was fine, at least where I was. Mileage & decibels may vary
Great info and commentary …you have to either swing your filming device around slowly or use a gyro device ..it is most unpleasant when you swing your camera so fast …spoils the overall quality …
You _really_ need to slow down when you're panning left or right with your video camera. At present, it's puke inducing.
Hi SideTripLIFE, I'll go to south thailand on Dec (again) but this time to stay like 3 motnhs with long vida, I'm just thinking if you can do a quick iternet test in those places you think it's great for work remotly.
Really appreciate your videos
Will have to take a trip back to Koh Chang, it has been many years since i was last there and it has really changed a lot, thanks for taking the time to post the videos...
Great tunes and good to see Lonely beach getting some life back, thanks x
Thanks Mia. It's quieter during the week but for sure great to see weekends starting to get livelier
Still seems very quiet Garlic used to be buzzing now it’s nearly empty
as usual Great great video. Thanks for such a great informative video
Thank you Kate
Awesome vid! Just booked our flights to Thailand for january 2023 and we heading straight to koh chang. Its been on our radar for ages but we havent been able to go to thailand since 2020 😫
Great video mate,Love watching your videos.Great to see Koh Chang looking abit busy again.
Cheers Robbo. KC getting a bit busier on weekends (as in this vid) and for sure great to see
Lovin' it ! JLS / ca
Awesome
Nice one mate ,,,,,,,catching up as back in UK after 30 days travelling around Thailand
Nice
Nice one Rob, hope you had a great trip! STL
thx for info you lucky dude
Thx Alain, I feel both lucky and grateful to be in Thailand every single day. STL
New subscriber here! Absolutely loving your content, the way you interact with locals, speaking a bit of Indo. Truly great! Going to binge watch your videos today. Terima kasih!
Wow, thanks/makasih!
@@SideTripLife sama sama 😊
Had a mint week here when travelling here in 2006. The huts were loads more basic. Not fully watertight, outside shower, mattress on the floor draped by a mosquito net 😂. Happy days though. I'll be back one day.
'06 sounded amazing! Hope you get back!
You always find the Secret Spots 😁 I would have parked the Bike and Walked over there an Drank all night 😁
I did! the next night lol (merry Christmas btw:) STL
You listed monthly rate for 1st place as well as daily. How much is monthly rate for place you stayed? Very nice!
Hi, thanks for your comments and query. If you're referring to Sea Flower back then they were asking around 10K/$300 if I recall. Now, with the busiest high season since then I'm not sure they offer monthly rentals, best to contact them. However, I see their daily rentals are still great value from $13 night: www.agoda.com/sea-flower-resort/hotel/koh-chang-th.html?cid=1898974
@@SideTripLife thanks a lot! Great place. Appreciate all your help!!!
@@SideTripLife 👍🇹🇭
Another awesome video 🙏
Thx Matthew
HIMMEL means in swedish Heaven
TACK :)
Great island…..we will be going there in the next couple months….
My 1st visit, love KC now! Enjoy :) STL
Do a night market food thingy eh! ;)
Thanks for the suggestion Ethan. Certainly seems popular and sooooo much easier to film/edit, I see many UA-camrs simply walk thru a market for an entire vid (and getting great views). My 'problem' is I film too much content which I then struggle to fit into vids already but will try to fit in more market segments. Thx, STL
Last time on koh chiang was 15/yrs ago, way sleepier. Love the rude boy bar. Thanks for the tips
wow! so many choices beatiful propteries to chose from. Prices much better than the rent I pay in YYC!! YUK!!! Always enjoy your incredible videos with incredible scenery. R
100 kudos for this movie
100 thanks for watching and commenting :) STL
What a great place to chill and have a few beers , " Yaa Mon " LOL . Thank you for sharing , Enjoy ....
Yaaa Mon, it really was! Thanks Karl :) STL
I'm very surprised over all You amazing travel videos , You make a great Job I hope I meet You someday
Thanks! 😃
Enjoyed witching. Very peaceful. I was stationed in Bangkok in 1969. Fond memories of the Thai people
❤❤
Great video! 👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻
Soon I will check the recommended places 🤗
beautiful place and the PRICE!!! I want to visit this place
Overwhelmingly a place to go - LB - thanks for showing some real Lanta - 👌 very much enjoyed STL 🍻😎👌👍🙏
looks gorgeous there, glad to see a cheap/usable gym too!
Ditto! Always like to find a decent local gym when travelling
Driving to lonely beach. Are there sidewalks you can walk. I don,t see any.
No but in Lonely beach village can easily walk along the lane
Thanks for the video dude, like the chilled out style, back watching videos again and psyching myself up to go to Thailand in the next few months. Doing world year trip tempted to start with a month in an apartment on the beach Like this.
You sound like Steve Kerr if he was Canadian.
Beautiful and helpfull video!
A month ago it was dead around Lonely Beach when I was there. Glad you are having a better experience.
Caught it on a weekend so was happy to see a few more folks about
Excellent videos of Koh Chang, come to the White Elephant in White Sands on Friday night, great live music ( if I do say so myself) I’ll be play for a couple of hours and then another excellent band will play till midnight
Thanks Paul, also for the heads-up. STL loves live music! Will try to pop by in future
Recently discovered your channel, great stuff. Yeah, always endure it to the end!
Cheers John!
@@SideTripLife Meant to mention, I grew up in Victoria, wife grew up in Metchosin. When you mentioned Sooke Potholes we had a good laugh.
Thanks for these. Going through the playlist and although you couldn't stay there Nature Beach is one of the place's that we'll be staying at End Oct through to mid November for a birthday trip and one that should've been taken 2yrs ago.
Wonder if you'll stay at any of the other places we have booked. I won't cheat and will note them as: Kacha Resort & Spa, Nature Beach Resort and Koh Chang Cliff Beach Resort. I'll come on back after I've finished the list and see how we did eh.
Glad to see that the island is starting to pick up a bit and hopefully by the time we arrive at the start of high season it'll have it's vibe in full swing ( though if it's not rammed then selfishly I won't be too upset about that even though the poor residents are likely praying it will be)
Happy MUCH belated B-day trip! Your accommodation choices are all lovely. Enjoy! STL
Where are the people there?🤔
Envious of your visits to all those bars in your videos lately. I miss those kind of beach bars so very much. And thanks for all the hotel hunting vids. They are absolutely helpful.
Thanks Alofzico, I absolutely love nosing around a new place, room/hotel hunting and BEST of all, chill beach bars! So my pleasure. STL
I assume daily rate is probably non negotiable, but what about monthly? 7,000? Thailand is the land of bartering. Although 8k w electric & water is a-ok, but what the hell, it never hurts to try, right.
