Hey there. Thank you for your comment. 😍 I'm so happy that you noticed about my paddle boarding. I was very proud of myself for not following up at all. What's going on this video and see how many times I fell off board here. ua-cam.com/video/vsklb8jRctg/v-deo.html
So you check-into the hotel with the UA-cam logo that says hotel eval? Doesn't that influence the credibility of your review? You may or should I say you will get more attention and service as they know you are doing this for your channel and UA-cam. So does it give a neutral and fair perspective. Purely from an ethical POV?
That is a valid question. In the scope of hotels and restaurants, I am an influencer. There should be a disclaimer from UA-cam in the top left corner that pops up in be beginning of almost every one of my videos which tells you "This video contains paid promotion". I most certainly get special treatment everywhere I go (believe me that as much as I appreciate it, it is also a concern of 'weakness' in my reviews) but, the branding on my clothing has absolutely nothing to do with it since I visit hotels under contract and all relevant staff are briefed on my identity before I arrive. Better service is something I cannot control, unless I went 'undercover' and paid for my hotel stays. As for the ethics or credibility... I show you what is possible at a particular hotel - whither you choose to pay for that service is up to you. The goal of my channel is to give you an informed decision when booking hotels buy showing you what the hotel really is like in terms of location, near by shops where you can by cheep beer, sandy or rocky beaches, condition of the hotel room, etc. I never hide the 'not so good parts'. I review as I experience it.
The resort and facilities look as if they offer a peaceful, colourful and relaxing escape. An escape where you can spend an extended period of quality time to get away from the hustle and bustle of life.
Thank you for your comment. It is comments like these, which motivate me to review more hotels. As far as I can recall, the bed was very comfortable, somewhere between medium and soft. It was not super soft, but it was definitely not hard. By the way, if you would like to have a soft bed when you are in Bangkok next time, you should check out this hotel… ua-cam.com/video/F7sp8RwL1mM/v-deo.htmlsi=zRMW1HZVIbsyvT8J
Hi Tanya. You can arrange the beach dinner from reception (be sure to ask for the F&B Manager). I can't remember the spa prices but they are listed online. Also, check out this video for another nearby hotel. ua-cam.com/video/iQ-pfmP4aUA/v-deo.html Thanks for watching and please subscribe. :-)

Hello, I wanna ask a question. Until what time do the boats leave to come to Coconut Island and go from the island to city? What is the last round trip? And how much the cheapest cost for boat? Thank you very much
Hi there. The Island Escape speed for shuttle only goes a few times a day but that is complementary. You'll have to check the schedule with the resort. However, you can also make use of the local Thai boats from the pier on coconut Island too. I do not know how much they cost but I seem to go and come back again on an as-needed basis. I'm quite sure you'll be able to find one or two of them even right through the night.
Hi there. Thank you for your compliment. Im afraid I do not know how much the spa is. But I'm sure it will be worth it. This really was the best hotel spa treatment I ever had. Yes, definitely book first. Also, ask for the spa treatment room I had - that one has the best view and is the most modern. Can you please help me by telling me exactly how you found my video. If you searched one Google or UA-cam, please tell me exactly what you typed in your search string. Your answer could help me with me gain more viewers.
Thank you for commenting. 😍 Yes I also think that this is a gem. It kind of reminds me of this resort. Have you seen this one? ua-cam.com/video/xjCtlnXlLK8/v-deo.html
Wow this place is gorgeous. I’m so hungry after seeing that delicious fish you guys had. At both the restaurant and on the beach. Looks so yummy!! What a beautiful resort. Loved seeing the island and how the locals live. So tropical and beautiful. Awwwwwesome video Gee
Thank you very much. I'm glad that you like this place. I think this is a wonderful and beautiful things to see. The food is great too and I love the fact that his island is slightly isolated.
@@RealTwinGamers Yes, I definitely want to go again because 24% of my viewers are parents with children. They are asking me about family accommodation. I need to show them a pool villa. I'll go as soon as I receive an official barter agreement from the Burasari marketing team. Until then, I have to look review other family resorts.
Great video Gee. Are you a videographer by profession? Your videos are dynamic and very polished in their editing. 1. It would be interesting to see the general costs of lodging, spa services, etc. Is this something you cannot provide because you are being hosted by the facility? 2. Do the resorts host you at times that are "slow" by design? You usually have the pool to yourself, very tranquil surroundings with few guests, etc. I ask because I wonder if the resorts are uncrowded by nature or still sparsely occupied due to COVID. 3. You mentioned that this was a completely unique check-in experience for you. Why was that? Again, let me say how much my wife and I both enjoy your videos. She is seeing locales that she hasn't visited since she was a child and I am getting to see these amazing destinations for the first time before my arrival in August. Really, really enjoy your work.
Good day Craig. Thank you for watching. And thank you for your compliments. No, I am definitely not a professional videographer. But thank you for the compliment. Everything you see on my videos regarding videography and video editing I taught myself in the past 2 .5 years since starting my UA-cam Channel. Regarding the costs... I just forget to find out the price (because I don't pay for anything). But moreover, prices are a funny thing because they change so dramatically (especially as we recover from COVID-19) - especially with most hotels using dynamic pricing. Also, it is so easy for my viewers to use the booking link I provide in every video to find out the price themselves. So many factors determine the price of a hotel room. As for the swimming pools, and other facilities appearing to be slow or quiet... Two factors are a play here. I wouldn't say that to hotels host me during slow periods. I can pretty much go review a hotel at any time however, hotels are less likely to host me when they have the potential of being fully booked of course because they can rather be using my hotel room for a paying guest. Also, I tend to film at specific times at specific locations when it is quiet. I need to keep in mind, the privacy of hotel guests. The date on this is quite interesting and you are quite welcome to ask me about it in the next comment if you wish. The chicken process was unique because you do not actually check in at the resort. You check-ion at the office of the resort which is located on a completely different island.
@@BangkokHotelReviews Well for being "self-taught," your videos are very professional and engaging. Looking forward to more. I did not realize that Thailand lodging also uses dynamic pricing. I see your point then, discussing prices for rooms is not useful when it can vary as much as 100-200% based on day and season. I think it's fantastic that you take other guests' privacy into account when you are making your videos. I have seen MANY other travel videos where the creator seems oblivious to those around them.
@@craigmorris8282 I always respect guest privacy. If filming a guest to the point where they are easily recognizable, I will always has permission first. You are also noticed that on my videos, I always blur out the prices of children antibodies if they are swimming in the swimming, pool or a topless, unless I have written consent from the parent or guardian. Thanks again for the compliments. It is nice to know that I'm doing something right. As I mentioned before, I often doubt myself but it is through comments like these that I get some extra motivation. I am actually quite proud of the fact that I'm self taught, especially when I think back about how many things I had to learn on the spur of the moment. And as I'm sure you can imagine I'm still learning every day. How are your plans for moving here coming along?
@@BangkokHotelReviews The plans are moving along, thanks for asking! My wife successfully defended her dissertation and earned her Ed.D, so we now have two doctors in the family. She will graduate in August and then we will head to Thailand via Taipei. We'll stay in Bangkok for a while at the Sheraton Royal Orchid before heading to Ubon where she is originally from and still has family. I am thrilled to be relocating. I am very "political" and have been appalled by the direction my country has chosen to follow on social issues. Thailand's recent elections were very encouraging results for me. My only concern is that I am having a dreadful time learning Thai: My current vocabulary consists of food items and profanity 😅.
thank you very much for the compliment. I appreciate that. It’s nice to know that my hard work pays off and can actually help somebody. I’m afraid that I really cannot remember the price of the beach picnic or the private dinner on the beach. These things are always included for me and I don’t actually get to see the price. But thank you for asking because I will make a better effort to actually take note of te prices in the future.happy birthday in advance.

Thank you for your comment. 😍 Yes indeed, it sure does. I love the exclusivity as well as the isolation of this resort.
Great Video and we are going to the resort in a few months, did you find bed hard which is my pet hate in Asia( we like soft/plush)

it is really really nice and amazing vlog , thanks a lot. what about the spa? how much is it? and do you need to make an appointment before?

It was a very detailed video. Where was the check in desk of the hotel? At royal Pukhet Marina or at laen hin lagoon pier?
Thank you. There is a reception desk at the hotel on the island but , you check in at the hotel's office at the marina.
