@@ShekinahGrace111 Was going to ask the same thing... Do you know what's the best way to get an International Driving Permit in the US? I've seen different things online so was wondering if you had any insight. Thanks!
Yo I am the guy that you met at the gym with the cold bath and the sauna. I have to say that Koh Phangan is way too busy at the moment( february March ), you are never alone, there is always noise somewhere, people are coming to get waisted and party. Scooter everywhere, a lot of pollution from the different vehicules. I will not recommand if you want to have quiet cool vacation tbh. Thanks for the video
Heyyy brooo I had to leave running from sauna as I was late from meeting😄 Text me on Instagram! And yeah it's surprisingly busy now.. The North side is more quiet tho it's pretty nice to live here but then need to drive all the time to the town.. I still love it but need to find the peaceful spots haha!
@@JooseTheNomad i was just gonna ask how it is vs bali. i was in phangan in late sept and it was almost dead. after everyone went home from full moon i was like what.. zen beach had some people but not crazy amount (at least it seemed from quick bike ride, i didnt go around too much didnt have time) but haad rin was dead. phangan is a vibe when there are parties every day and enough people to go to them, like before covid. not sure if its back to that. Protip u can see some decent corals in phangan i saw some around lighthouse beach resorts
Great video Joose! I moved to Bali 4 months ago and I was planning to visit Koh Phangan tomorrow for a couple of weeks. Last minute, I decided to leave that trip for the low season. I’m going to Malasya instead. I can’t wait to visit Thailand in the rainy season. Less crowds and probably more affordable. Thanks so much for the video! 😊
I fell I love with this island in 2001 when I lived in a 120b a night wooden hut in Woktum Bay. I’ve been back a few times over the years and it has evolved at the same pace as the rest of the country. Thailand is a popular destination, 50 million tourists a year, so it will change and it looks like it is doing it well and keeping the paradise island vibe alive
We visited Koh Phangan at the end of January, and it has become our new favourite island! We stayed around the North West of the island, and it was amazing! Not busy at all, beautiful beaches, great atmosphere! We loved it so much
Same here! I was there in January and have booked to go back in November as I only had two weeks to visit several islands. Koh Phangan, Koh Tao and Koh Samui are on my list this time, I can’t wait! Btw anyone wanting to avoid the full moon madness check the dates! We just missed it last time and it was lovely and quiet ☺️
@@deborahwyndham-lewis5188 That's a really good point about checking the dates for the full moon parties! We were there when they were not happening, that would explain the chill atmosphere. :) Have an amazing time going back to Koh Pha-ngan! We also went to Koh Tao and Koh Samui, but Koh Pha-ngan was just our favourite place to be 🩷
Thank you for the great video. Koh Phangan is my favourite island as well. I have spent many winters in Chiang Mai + Koh Phangan and cannot wait to go back again!
I loved when that dog just came in the frame when you were talking about how busy it was. I’m sure he also trying to find people to do activities with!
One thing that you've really mastered is the rhythm in your videos. Too many vlogs / digital nomad videos are either too fast and you feel like watching a commercial or it's inconsistent with some parts being too slow and I end up clicking out. Kudos for that. Is Phangan suitable for cars ? I live in Chiang Mai and thinking of coming down with my pets...
Thanks so much! Great to see someone noticing the efforts I put to the flow haha🙏🏽 Yeah the roads are good for cars, there's looots of big pickup trucks here.
I went to Koh Phangan end of January this year (2024) It absolutely is gaining so much popularity, but what I fell in love with was the slow rising, peaceful, clean, friendly and bohemian vibe they have. I’m planning to go live on the island for 3 months next year to really get a feel for it and other parts of the island as we only stayed in a hostel there for 4 days!
This video is like a knife through the heart! For someone like me who went to Koh Phangan in 2007 for the very first time and then again in 2008, 2011, 2015 and 2016 - this place has changed a lot, and, sadly, not for the better. The overall vibe back in the 2007 - 2015 was wild, Full Moon party or just being there in between the events! The entire Haad Rin beach was a dancing sea of 30,000+ people. The 2016 visit was a harbinger of how things were getting commercialised and soulless, with groovy, shabby, funky bars getting an industrial remake and us having to get wristband just like to your average European festival. Now I am seeing some videos from 2023-24 and it looks even worse than Malaga or Benidorm. Barely anyone dancing or having fun, thousands just walking or sitting on futon bags on the beach glued to their phones in front of fire shows. The spirit of Koh Phangan is truly gone and buried.
Wow, Koh Phangan looks so different. I was there about 25 years ago, there was virtually no resorts. We stayed in a beach bungalow for about a dollar a night. Still looks lovely though.
its crazy to see KPG that busy... i have been there during 2021/2022, of course it was different times but i believe now it would be too much for me LOL
Appreciate your Videos m! Info I need! Coming tomorrow and I believe I heard there’s pickleball on the islands. I brought my paddle. Thanks. Like to have fun
What place would you recommend for someone who wants to live cheaply, healthy and work on their business full-time for about 8 months? Was thinks of Chiang Mai, but maybe it gets boring quite quickly?
@@JooseTheNomad Really like Canggu for the community aspect and all the things you can do, but it got quite expensive ore not? Da Nang is good, but for me max a month
@@leeleefu2137 Same! More expensive than Da Nang yea but still one of the best value for money place I'd say! Just need to dig deep to find a good deal for accommodation!
Ugh, definitely will go there. 🤩It’s wonderful. We gonna fly to Bangkok on Friday night. Then Phuket and we gonna stay in Koh Samui for a week. I got the permit for a drone, hopefully, we can get a few nice shots like you have. Thanks for the idea. 🤩😎🌴
I was on the island 11 years ago. Had a wonderful experience and made many long term friends. Loved the nature and the open healing vibes. Question, what laptop and phone do you use? I need to upgrade both before I start traveling again very soon.. most likely back to Thailand for a while. 🙂🌴🥥
@earnheartgold thanks! I always use the wide-angle, it's a skill that has developed during the past years to get the compositiom right most of the time haha
Hey, do you have any videos about the best beaches snorkeling in Koh Phangan? If not, could you share some tips with us about that please? I'm going in 2 weeks! 😆
Could you please comment - how it's about LOW TIDE there (how it affects your stay, maybe the best beach which is not affected..)? as i can see in Tide TimeTable its 2PM -low tide and high tide ~4 am (so the biggest water in the middle of the night...=( Thanks!
I rewatched your 2022/2023 Koh Phangan video recently and looked for Airbnb options near to where you stayed and noticed they were a lot more money than what you mentioned in your previous video. A crazy price hike! Do you really think it's to do with a different time of year (November/December vs February/March) or do you think its simply inflation? Do you happen to know what your Airbnb rental is charging for November/December 2024 as a comparison? Also, what is your preferred time of year to visit for weather, November/December or February/March?
It was same last year when I asked for this time they said this price so yeah I think it's just about the season but maybe also some places generally have risen the prices🤔 Weather is definitely so much nicer now, almost all the time sunny and not too hot. But it's also way more busy here now😅
@@JooseTheNomad Thanks. It looks like you were there last 2 weeks of November and first 2 weeks of December in 2022? Was there much rain during that time as I'm reading it can rain 13 (Nov) - 17 (Dec) days a month?
unfortunately i dont believe it is so much about the season anymore. from what i read in facebook groups etc the prices went up more or less in generel (even though there might be a small difference in season still)
@@damo5791 yeah something like that! It was very rainy & cloudy tbh... I don't know if it's like that every year but yeah it wasn't the best🤔 We got sunny days too but I'd say it was like one or two days in a week!
Hey Joose, very good video and super useful for me. Last year I stayed a few days in Koh Samui and Koh Tao. This year I'm planning one month workation on Koh Phangan from March 20th :). Any tips in terms of accommodation for one month? I checked AirBnb and it is quite expensive I would say, even compare to Koh Samui for the same period. I follow also some Facebook groups but have a feeling that it's mostly for people that are already on the island. Any other ideas? How did you find yours?
Thank tou! I found it on Airbnb and yeah noticed the same. What I do in Bali is that I look for places on Airbnb, Agoda, and Google Maps and then message them directly for a better monthly price. Maybe the same could work here😊
The price of the appartment is super expensive: 1100$ a month for an appartement in the middle of the road ! It's really basic, maybe it's 40/50 sqm However, I went in Pha Ngan twice a long time ago. I'm afraid to go back an be disapointed.
It's not as busy as Haad Rin, so I'd say go for it. The North of the island is also worth checking! I loved it there, it's very laidback and not a lot of tourists there.
Hi, I’m from Taiwan, we got 30 days visa-exempt entry to Thailand. Do you know if I could extend the visa after the 30 days expired in Koh Phangan? I learned that there is Tourist Visa for 60 days ( but in your video mention 30 days one)
Hi. I’m thinking of doing a sub trip now I’m going Bali for 3 weeks and I’m thinking of going there. Idk best route as far as making air arrangements from Bali. How many days you recommend a week?
@@JooseTheNomad nice. I’ve just booked my tickets for Koh Samui & Koh Phangan in November with the boys , your videos are super helpful. Really excited for the full moon party and to explore the island 🙌🏻
Loooove your videos on UA-cam and just found your beautiful instagram feed too. What 🎙️ mic do you use in your UA-cam videos? It looks like a Bluetooth right? It seams really good to block out other sounds and I would love to get something similar🙏 Thank you in advance Linda
Onkos äijällä moottoripyöräkortti? Lukenut että moni ajaa sielä skoottereilla ilman tarvittavia lupia. Thaimaassa kuulemma monet skootterit 150cc ja niiden ajamiseen tarvitaan moottoripyöräkortti eikä niitä saisi ajaa B kortilla.
It used to be my favorite spot in the world, 15years ago. The magic and appeal are long gone for me… the last 2 times I came to that island, it was getting too busy and crazy expensive. The time of the bamboo hut facing the sunset on the sea for 400thb has been erased with greed once again.
I understand where you are coming from but I think the huge number of locals who have been lifted out of poverty by the development of the island and infrastructure would probably disagree with you.
2019 Ive been there for 2 full months, average cost per meal was 50 bahts.. I cannot believe how much the prices went up there.. such a shame, and the tickets to travel are crazy expensive.. Thailand is not what it used to be
@@taopaille-paille4992 really? i definitely wasn't aware of that, so thank you for pointing that out. As smart you are, take a look at Vietnam 14 years ago and todays prices, its almost not even double.. and we are talking from 2010 to 2024, anyway, smarty, have a good day

Love the nature. I hope they don’t sell the land to businesses for commercialism and preserve the island the way it is.
Yeah I hope they keep the development in check! I heard they don't allow big chains here which is good!

You b fine. I'm 60. Was no problem.
The price of the appartment is super expensive: 1100$ a month for an appartement in the middle of the road !
It's really basic, maybe it's 40/50 sqm
However, I went in Pha Ngan twice a long time ago. I'm afraid to go back an be disapointed.
hey joose thanks for your content!
do u think a stay at Haad Than Sadet Beach would be a good pick? found some nice bangalows for a nice price in feb.
It's not as busy as Haad Rin, so I'd say go for it. The North of the island is also worth checking! I loved it there, it's very laidback and not a lot of tourists there.
Hi, I’m from Taiwan, we got 30 days visa-exempt entry to Thailand. Do you know if I could extend the visa after the 30 days expired in Koh Phangan? I learned that there is Tourist Visa for 60 days ( but in your video mention 30 days one)
Usually any visas can be extended in the immigration office :)
whats the reggae song at 5:33??
What's the kind of place you can get in the lower end around March-July? Also how's the vibe and weather around that time? :)
hey, do you recommend koh samui or koh phangan? in termsof prices and things to do
For me, Koh Phangan seemed always so much better. Samui is more commercial.
A nice bike makes a huge difference in Thailand. Yamaha xmax with akrapovic exhaust makes it very enjoyable to stay 15min from the centre area 😆

which resort is that? You haven't mentioned the name.
Onkos äijällä moottoripyöräkortti? Lukenut että moni ajaa sielä skoottereilla ilman tarvittavia lupia. Thaimaassa kuulemma monet skootterit 150cc ja niiden ajamiseen tarvitaan moottoripyöräkortti eikä niitä saisi ajaa B kortilla.
Ei täällä sellasia ole kyselty😄
Does grab,bolt available?phone data roaming working fine there
Not available here. Yes mobile data wlrks well, 5g!

What is the name of main town in north side area? Near Malibu beach and other?
Awesome vdo 🤍What is the name of the Airbnb place you booked
If you could choose 1 place to retire in at 50 where would it be?
Can you surf there ? Or somewhere near by
No :/ That's the negative about this place
the trees are back next to the 711
@@widerthanpictures how?😳
Where and how did you find the apartment?
www.joosethenomad.com/courses/SEA-STAYS
@@JooseTheNomadI asked for a place to find an apartment, not a course 😅
I was there in 1998. Different world then.
Haha yeah I'm sure!
I went there in 1998 nice place, I doubt I would recognize it now .
@@gtbr8134 Yeah very different😄
It used to be my favorite spot in the world, 15years ago. The magic and appeal are long gone for me… the last 2 times I came to that island, it was getting too busy and crazy expensive. The time of the bamboo hut facing the sunset on the sea for 400thb has been erased with greed once again.
I agree. Do you know of a place where this vibe still exists today? I'm looking for that.
north korea
I understand where you are coming from but I think the huge number of locals who have been lifted out of poverty by the development of the island and infrastructure would probably disagree with you.
Its necessarily greed it’s simply supply and demand
Do you know of a good alternative?
what is the name of hotel ?
Nice place
@@SihyungLee-tm1uc it is!
is it still possible to stay 3-4 months with the new visa rules ? 🏝
What new rules?😊
I used to get visa for 90 days first, and after that I had to make it longer by 90 days. Now it seems like 30 days is the limit ?
@@bjornragnarsson8230 yeah the visa on arrival seems to be just 30 now and extensions every 30 days to my knowledge, but still can stay for long!
How is the name of the apartment?
Srithanu is not the main town on KPG ...its Thongsala .
I said main town to stay as tourist :)
This is insanely expensive apartment imo. Ok it is quite luxurious, but middle of nowhere... What would Haad Rin cost?
It's next to the nicest beach and many restaurant here too :) But yeah very expensive now... Not sure you can check :)
What kind of microphone is that. ?
DJI Mic :)
@@JooseTheNomad which one I’m thinking of getting one.
@@Jessiejadeabundance "DJI Mic"😄 So the first one that they made for mobile phones. The second one should be better pick right now!
LOL, I know this doggo. He bullies other dogs and sometimes even scares people on Malibu)))
@@romanivanov2052 hahahahha she's territorial for sure!
What is the name of the apartment provider? :)
Is Koh Phangan nice to visit during Mid to Late August??!
I don't think the weather would be so good
2019 Ive been there for 2 full months, average cost per meal was 50 bahts.. I cannot believe how much the prices went up there.. such a shame, and the tickets to travel are crazy expensive.. Thailand is not what it used to be
Yeah and it was 20 bahts 10 years before you came there. Prices increase everywhere all the time in case you never noticed dude.
@@taopaille-paille4992 really? i definitely wasn't aware of that, so thank you for pointing that out. As smart you are, take a look at Vietnam 14 years ago and todays prices, its almost not even double.. and we are talking from 2010 to 2024, anyway, smarty, have a good day
nice!
Thanks!
love that it seems vegan friendly :)
Yeah it's very vegan friendly😊
From which country are you from?
Finland :)
