I think Ben that you bring the sunshine with you wherever you go! Everyday for you is Christmas morning, but you are the true gift my friend. You talk to your audiance like we are frinds, and we are. I wish the world would be filled with more people like you.....oh yes, the scenery is incredable! I am quite happy watching your adventures from the comfort of my Living Room! LOL
@@stephencoutu2674 thanks so much, Stephen! I just try and see the positives in everything and appreciate what I get to do! Enjoy the journey from your living room 😂
The boat tours looked like so much fun!! Glad it didn’t rain and you were able to enjoy fully. You looked soooo happy! Being on or in the water is the best.
These boat tours look like so much fun - thank you for sharing them! I'm glad it didn't rain on you during the day so you could enjoy the beaches. One of the reasons I don't like your groups is listening to people who have to complain about everything - it's so annoying. Just relax and enjoy the beauty around you that so few people in the world get a chance to experience. You are so lucky Ben and I'm glad you take time to travel and share all these wonderful locals!
It’s a pity so many people prefer to whinge and complain rather than look for the positivity and express optimism. Entitled? But Ben is straightforward in his comments. There IS a difference and I appreciate that Ben! Thanks for taking us with you. I don’t think I’ll ever experience some of these places so it’s great to see it via your eyes initially. I’m not peeking at IG etc and I’m wondering if you’ll get to Korea!
@@stephenthompson8373 cheers, Stephen! I totally agree with you, we’re lucky enough to visit paradise and people still find something to complain about! Get away from me with your negativity 😂 I agree, I am very lucky! I appreciate everything I get to do😁
@@madamenicoleNY I agree, Nicole! Some people just can’t help but be negative! I can’t stand being around those people. I have no plans to make it to Korea, but maybe!
Wanted to mention the yellow/black fish you saw are Sergeant Major. They are a species of damsel fish... Very cool and friendly fish. I think I saw some of those in Greece.
Glad the weather was on your side….looked so beautiful and crowded….but more beautiful. Glad your marathon training is in the form of snorkeling! A side effect from these Thailand videos? I have cravings for strawberry smoothies!
@@sgalligan I agree Sue, more beautiful than crowded 😂 everything apart from eating can be part of marathon training! I had a strawberry smoothie every morning!
Yes it is sad that such beautiful places are so crowded with people and shops, like not seeing the forest for the trees. I guess you need to hike out to the land. And all those boats OM gosh like LA traffic. Thank you.
Good afternoon, Ben ! Lots of fun drifting around. It is not fun if you have nobody around because you might get scared. On one of these nearby islands, they made a James Bond movie ! When I was there we had seafood for lunch and I was pulled by a fast boat into the air, around and around and then land on a ship ! Enjoy your vacation !
That was so nice and interesting. Such a beautiful nature. It reminds me when I was snorkeling and on a boat ride in Corsica. That really looked like a great day for you😊 I had a lot of fun watching this video. Thamk you very much
Looks like a fun day, I’m glad it didn’t rain during the actual boat trip. And as far as places being crowded, that’s just the whole planet. There’s a lot of people everywhere in all tourist spots. But I would still do the tour,
@@JustShelby888 thank you, Shelby! I agree, not surprising there were so many people because I was also one of those people 😂 it’s just the behaviour of people that ruin it! Still a great tour!
Wow, thanks for bringing back the memories of our visits to the islands! The sand was amazing and the snorkelling was so relaxing! We’re in our 60s, the oldest on the boats and the operators kept asking if I was okay even though I easily got in and out and I can swim, albeit not an Olympian!
I really enjoyed the hopping islands video especially your facial expressions on the boat. This video was definitely one of the best Asian tours I have seen. It tops the one with the one where you live and travel in a van through Japan.
Monkey island looks so amazing! Love it that you had a visitor monkey on your boat! I tried really hard to jump out of the boat when doing my santorini catamaran in August but had to crawl out but once in the water it was a blast. Next time I WILL jump.
I love this trip!! The video was amazing, one of my favorite things ….boat ride ❤️ loved your snorkeling adventure 💙💙💙💙 I expected your to have major windburn on your face from the wind & sitting in the front of the boat. I agree!! 100% if your having fun go for it 100% 🤣🤣 suffer later😆😆 Ben. Thanks so much for sharing your travels, I love them!! Beautiful, beautiful island and scenery👍🏻😎🇺🇸
Where do you leave your things when swimming?Wrnt in 88 but dont have photos anymore. Remrmber an incredible lagoon you just walked and it was all there 1 or 2 ft deep..was based in Phuket only 4 or 5 hotels..Phi phi was used in James Bond and was always popular

@@david1234lee you’re right, David! There is another boat tour that specifically goes to the James Bond Island!
@@TravelWithBen121 Our group landed there; a beautiful island among two or three similar ones near each other ! Have fun !
Looks like you had a great day!
@@YaYas_simple_living I did, YaYa! Turned out great 😌

Was going to mention we should try to do a group cruise with you and us your channel friends....
@@dr.ikeavina3761 sounds fun!
Roasting sting ray with spices are delicious.
@@jeffreysetapak not for me, thanks!
Cold snow or tropical beaches, which one do you prefer?
@@BB-yi6qn depends how hot is it 😂
Hi Ben, what a beautiful place. You talk about Thailand currency, you convert into see dollars could you please convert into gdp. Thanks Ben
@@NicolaNugent-jf3cw thank you, Nicola 😁 no I won’t do that, most of my subscribers are from the US so I will continue to use US dollars.
Next time, don't go to these tropical islands during monsoon season.
