During the pandemic, my partner and I were stranded in Thailand for a year and a half! What started as a Covid nightmare, soon became an incredible opportunity to travel Thailand from top to bottom.
We felt so lucky and grateful for this fantastic opportunity and decided to make a film to share our good fortune with you. The idea of this documentary is to transport you to all the best places in Thailand while sharing with you our 18-month adventure. 🌴🥥☀️

3:00 - Hin wong Bay. Also one of my favourites ! Great snorkeling ang much fishes !
I love your reviews… thanks ❤
Thank you thank you lots! I know im going to benefit immensely from your sharing. Saved us a lot of time figuring out how to explore the island and optimise our time when we get there. Cheers!
Hi Nick, thanks so much for the lovely comment. It means a lot to me. Glad I can help organize your holiday.

Super informative. Love Koh Tao!

Thank you so much for the kind comment! ❤
Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Excellent content 👍 you and your videos deserve much more attention!! Very interesting information and also very different from all of the other Thailand videos
Thank you so much, Dan!
Your kind comment made my day. 🥰
yes , I agree , very well put together , deserves more views and likes 😁
Thank you so much!! Added Koh Tao to my list now!
Awesome!!
I see that you've been to Koh Muk and Koh Lipe already. If you're still down south, try Koh Kradan as well. The water is amazing!
Have a great trip, Megan! ❤
Reach the murder situation, the owners of the island are serial killers and have the Police in their pocket.
I woud be too scared because of all the murders. Always tourists...
Great video!!! The map is very helpful. Thanks
Thanks, Deb & Doug, for your kind comment. 🥰
so good of a video! Amazing
Thank you!
broth~professional job! have a great day,📽
Thanks for the encouraging comment! ☺
Don’t take the five stop 60+ person tourist snorkeling boats. They only take you to places where there is dead coral. You are only allowed to snorkel within the roped off swimming areas. It’s horribly depressing. Learned from experience this week in Koh Tao.
I stayed in Sai Deng beach for 4 nights, not so great for snorkelling but Shark bay is!!!!
Thanks for the information, Sharon! ❤
Nice video and very informative. Did you use a drone for your overhead shots?
Thanks, Cliff. ❤
I used a drone for all the aerial views.
Green Slimey beaches is what I've heard.
Just subscribed ✅ I live in Koh Samui 🏝️
Thanks a lot!! 😍
Thanks for making such an informative video! How many days would you recommend to stay on Koh Tao?
Hello!
If you are in a hurry: to see the entire island you need two full days. 1 day to scooter around everywhere. Half a day for a snorkeling/diving trip. Half a day to walk around the main beach and enjoy the sunset.
If you are not in a hurry and like snorkeling: stay 4 days or more to enjoy the most beautiful beaches at a leisurely pace.
Have a fantastic trip! ❤
@@TravelRoads Thanks! I'm thinking of doing a diving course there so I may end up staying a few days :)
those turtles look hungry!
Could you please tell me what kind of camera did you use for snorkeling ? It’s so pretty 😍
Thank you .
Hello, Marek. Thanks for your kind comment. 🥰
This video has been filmed with an old GoPro 4.
Thank you so much for all the informations who those shared with us just a question please u know website or app who I can book ticket boat from koh samui to koh tao because I'll be in koh samui aeroport from bangkok then I have to go to koh tao Sairee Beach
There are several ferries that run between Koh Samui and Koh Tao. Here are 2 speedboats you can book: www.lomprayah.com/page/company-profile
songserm.com/
For something overwater to see, I recommend the lava black monitor lizards, the most advanced and intelligent living family of lizard reptile predators, though they are generally rather slow moving and not that dangerous as long as you don't crowd them. Their bite is venomous.
Cool. Where do you find them? 🙂
2:05 - Is Dusit Buncha Resort still open? I lived there in 10 years ago but I think that it has closed, maybe I have wrong
The hotel was closed when we were there. I assumed it was closed because of the pandemic. There were some staff and cleaning personnel around the hotel. We walked to the terrace overlooking to sea to take some photos. It's a nice spot.
I fell on top of a sea urchin that pierced my hand to the bone in 20 places at one end of Sairee Beach, so... watch out for those bois.
Ouch! 😧🤕😵
How is the weather in december in Ko Tao?🙂
Here's a site you can check out: www.thefunkyturtle.com/koh-tao/weather/
Please I have question about transport boat it’s necessary to buy all the tickets boat these I need or it’s not a problem I can buy them there because I’m just afraid to find boat tickets already sold out
Hi Simo, if you are traveling with a bigger ferry, there should be space to buy the tickets there. If you are traveling by speedboat, you might want to book your ticket in advance just in case. If you know your travel dates, you can easily book online and not worry about it.
@@TravelRoads to be honest I don’t know which ferry is there , for example I have to travel from koh tao to Surat Thani in your opinion which boat are available in this case
Please google. You will find the current boat options online for your dates.
Please I need a advice , I’m going to travel from Bangkok in 10 January, I’ll be in koh samui aeroport at 7:10am then I will take farry at 8:10 to koh tao . In your opinion they respect the time there or I will take the risk to lost the ferry
The ferry departs on time. There should not be much traffic in the morning. Enjoy Koh Tao! 🐠🌊🌴
is the ferry ok for motion sickness? I went years ago and the boats were super rocky@@TravelRoads
Hi @momocakino4633 , I am prone to seasickness, yet I have never experienced seasickness in any of the ferries or speedboats in Thailand. Take some motion medicine with you, just in case. Again, I've never had problems in Thailand :)
How did you take the drone footage? It is illegal to use drones on Koh Nang Yuan...
Try Google Earth or buy stock footage to get the shots you need.
Are you in thailand now?
Not at the moment.
@@TravelRoads visit philippines especially Palawan during March to May :)
Which island is better for snorkeling: Koh Tao or Koh Kradan?
Koh Kradan has a smaller reef on two sides of the island. It’s a great place to see colorful fishes up close. You can also spot smaller marine animals as you float directly over the reef.
Koh Tao is a big island with many snorkeling spots. You can see bigger marine animals too (turtles and sharks).
There are more snorkeling spots and opportunities on Koh Tao than on Koh Kradan.
If you’re going mainly for snorkeling- choose Koh Tao.
If you are a beginner looking for a relaxing/romantic island with snorkeling off the beach- choose Koh Kradan.
I hope this helps. ☺
@@TravelRoads This is very helpful. I'm more like a beginner, so Koh Kradan is perhaps a better choice for me.
I hate tourists , so i have not been back since 1996 when the light went out at 8a clock ....and only one way ....grabble road along sayree beach
☀🏝🙂
I remember in 2000, there was only a sand road next to Sairee Beach and no ATM's. Shame to see it so developed and busy.
no go there,to many crazy local thai.
Death Island.
Very surprised you are recommending Mafia Death Murder Island. The place is not safe
We had no problems on the island. All the local people were very friendly and helpful. When we lost our drone in the jungle, the entire community came together to help us.
Lots of tourists mysteriously died there. Local mafia
Hi Vin,
I did read this too before going to the island and was a bit nervous about it. Turns out, the community living on Koh Tao is super friendly and helpful. We needed assistance going on a rescue mission into the jungle and lots of people turned out to help us.
I talk about this incident in my movie on Vimeo: twoducklingproductions.vhx.tv
Only 2 tourists were killed back in 2014.
Cannot recommend Chalok Baan Khao. The resorts/guesthouses are buildt directly on the beach without any gap. Not possible to walk beach to another Restaurant or Bar in the evening (only possible via long bypass). Sai Nuan is still one of the best spots on the island. Shark Bay has completely changed its appearance - 15 years ago there was nearly nothing, nowadays concrete buildings wherever you are looking. Thai is nearly not spoken anymore on the whole island : Overflooded with Burmese migrant workers, which are often treated like cattle by locals. Would not recommend Koh Tao to anybody.
Thanks for your input, Fettnoi72. ☺
To murder island no thank you.
Stay clear from ac bar in sairee Beach, owner is a murderer . Likes beating people to a pulp and blaming burmesse people
Came here to say this. To be direct, you would have to be a complete ignoramus to visit that Island as a westerner. Especially a woman. Westerners get murdered there on a regular basis. The place is run by the mafia. If you want to financially support the degenerate Thai mafia as they continue to assault and murder people from around the world, then go ahead and vacation here. Otherwise choose somewhere else.
and the police don't know? Far fetched
@@janbarnard6863 you have no idea - suggest you do a bit a of research. Plenty of material here on YT and in the news.
