    Whenever I take a short-term trip abroad, I choose the fastest way because I don’t want to waste time, however as I see Chris using many kinds of transportation and enjoy feeling local atmosphere, I want to try “the cheapest way” next time😍🇹🇭💕

    Hey Chris, I'm making my 4th trip, in less than 2-1/2 years, to Thailand in less than a week! My Thai wife and I plan to drive her car from Patong to Donsak on 3/29/23. Then ferry it over to Koh Samui. On 4/3/23, we plan to ferry everything to Koh Phangan (Full Moon Party!). Then, on 4/7/23, we'll ferry from Koh Phangan to Donsak, then drive to Patong. This video answered all of the questions I had regarding the drive from Patong to Donsak. Thanks!

    The old section of the bridge you were on in Phuket has a history - it's aka "The Lover's Bridge". The story goes - rich young girl, poor young man fall in love yet, her family forbids it. Next thing you know - the two tie themselves together, and jump into the water to be together for eternity.
    Also - the pier on Samui is called the Nathon Pier. Been looking for airline tickets lately - we'll be back soon!

    Nice video as always! A tip for a proper pronunciation of the Phang Nga Province, while the "ng" at the end of "Phang" is still stuck in your throat, add a long "aaa" at the end. You can use this trick with other Thai words that starts with "Ng" as well, just imagine an imaginary word in your head which ends with "ng" and get that "ng" stuck in your throat and start the word with that
