BIG Changes In Phuket 🇹🇭
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- The island of Phuket in Thailand has changed dramatically in the past few months. Going from being deserted and empty it is now comfortably full of tourists. What does that look like? Are the locals happy? Will it continue? This video will answer all those questions as we tour around Phuket, get Thai Food, and even take a boat tour to Phang Nga Bay to see some amazing scenery.

My goal with this channel is to grow a community of people who like to have fun.
People who like to travel.
And people who understand you only live once!
I want to inspire you to see that being retired is the best chapter in life.
At the end of the day, this Channel is all about YOU. Let me know what you want to see next and I'll do my best to make it happen!
After all...I'm Retired, Working For You.
This video contains so much contents and can't believe Chris put everything within 17mins!😍I miss Phuket so much but he makes me feel warm and happy here in freezing Tokyo, even just watching his video is very satisfying! Thank you😊🇹🇭🇯🇵
Just arrived in Phuket today, on a plane full of tourists! Patong looked pretty busy when I went through, but I've got to a few hours to wait for my first negative PCR.
Feels.surreal watching a RW4Y vid on Phuket, whilst sat on my balcony over looking Patong.
Bloody lovely!
Wicked sunset today! Hope you are loving our little slice of paradise
@@5StarMarinePhuket thanks mate! Bit busy for my liking, heading to Koh Phayam after the sandbox, but stoked I'm in Thailand/Phuket. Might look into taking a tour with you guys while I'm here. Do you have an office in Patong??
Welcome to Thailand David my man!🙏🇹🇭🥰 Thank you so much for visiting my beloved country.
Since I can't apply for a Thailand Pass using Test & Go anymore, I've booked 7 nights in Patong Beach instead of quarantining in Bangkok. I usually like quiet, but after the past 2 years, I'm looking forward to the liveliness you just showed us! I finally arrive next month and can't wait to spend 2 months in beautiful Thailand! (The rest of the time will be in Chiang Mai.)
you should have waited a bit! They’re bringing back the test&go program.
@@achyuu9445 I don't think the new test & go program is very good! Needing to stay in a SHA+ hotel again on the 5th night & get another PCR test? No, I'm happy to be sitting on the beach until I'm clear to travel freely. 😀
Paying is a mecca for men not women..you will see
Great job with the update on Phuket Chris , it’s great to see folks starting to head back and enjoy the wonderful island , also great you had Shaun on from 5 Star Marine , he has done so much to help all those people struggling on the island , over 400,000 life bags handed out by his team plus getting Living Waters Phuket Foundation up and running also another great effort , you 2 guys have done very special work helping out Thailand and the people , thank you
This channel has blown up so much... and you're levelling up everytime!
I watched you back when you were in your first few thousands...I reckon you could be 500k + this year easy! You and a few others are reason I started my channel and now I make videos I appreciate the effort each of your videos take + all your social media stuff. Also the stuff your doing for Thailand is amazing 🤘 Look forward to bump into you sometime in BKK
thanks man, and good luck on your journey!
@@RetiredWorkingForYou Thanks Chris 👊🇹🇭
Chris, what drone do you use?
This video made me smile throughout the clip. So happy for everyone there that tourists started to come back! Thanks Chris for the progress report. 😊❤️🇹🇭
มีความสุขกับทุก vlogs ของคุณคริส...คอนเทนท์ที่ถูกแพลนมาอย่างดีที่แสดงถึงความรักในประเทศไทยบวกความฮาสไตล์ของเขา ไม่แปลกที่ subscribers will hit 500k as soon....
Welcome to Thailand the paradise and the second home for all visitor !!!
Love how Coffee Talk has expanded!
Congratulations to Dorian. I think it might feel as sureal to him to win a trip to Thailand on youtube as 200k subscribers feel to you Chris.
Good to see Coffee Talk flourish, the pictures on google maps tell a nice story and show how far Se has come. Keep it up man!
We love your channel Chris but we love Thailand and the Thai people even more. Oh, the local food is always the best too!
I have been waiting for that Coffee Talk Update. Great video, brother! See ya soon.
Wow! Coffee talk looks amazing! 😍
Miss you Thailand 🇹🇭 😻😻
Hello, How are you?
Wow your all over the place. You got a great tour of the beautiful islands. Nice! Congrats to ticket winner i was hoping. Lol. Take Care
Love that Phuket is picking up! We are heading back to Phuket next week so will pop back to Coffee Talk 👍🏼
Nice to see the tourists returning. Still a peaceful vibe as always. Awesome video brother.
The drone and the music really added to the sunset experience. Nice work!
First class editing Guys - a lot going on , but it rolls along so well - great to see people back at Phuket 👌 Thanks CP
Geez. Dying here. Why do I torture myself watching your, and other's amazing travel and philanthropic content? Simply because it's amazing and I so appreciate the hard work and thought you put into it. If I can't be there now, yous create the next best thing. Though Santa Barbara, CA is beautiful (as you know having lived in LA), it is a distant 2nd to the places you take me, and the good works you do.
I wish your team great success. You are certainly earning it.
I also want sushi.....
Phangna Bay looks STUNNING!! Your drone shots are magical!
Your channel is so fun and really special because you give everyone the opportunity to participate in your fun activities. Your videos has a very high quality. I like it and can't stop following. Great job Chris.
Omg what a blast! Thanks so much for including Gavin in that vid! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you very much for this channel for inviting people around the world to come to Thailand.
Congrats , Dorain Caia from Germany,too 👏🎉🎊😉👍
I was supposed to be in Bangkok right now if wasn't for the mistake Localnation made on my quarantine hotel. I booked the 13th, and thank god I took a picture because I needed that to get the Thai Pass. When I was leaving Toronto, at the check-in counter I found out the booking confirmation they sent back to me was on the 12th, which was a day early. I tried calling them, but no one answered. Thailand no longer issues test and go, so now I'm stucked here again. Lost some money, and now i have to rebook everything and go thru sandbox to goto thailand. really sucks. Been watching you for 2 years now! finally 2021 took care of everything and ready to enjoy thailand.
I’m so interested and excited by this video. I have to pause and fast forward because I want to see it for myself this year
This is one of my all time favorite videos by you Chris, hopefully I can get to Thailand this year and use your new app to check out a bunch of cool places from your vids 🇹🇭☀️😎
👋🏻Hey Chris, Haylee, and everyone else on here. This video was full of amazing stuff 👍🏼 and congratulations to the winner🎉.Stay sane and keep those amazing videos coming. ❤️🇨🇦
oh man, this brings back so many memories. I used to stay in Thailand 3 months a year since 2017-2020 and my last one got cancelled in 2020 because of Covid, looking back I wish i was stuck in Thailand for the past 2 years then here in Canada. Anyways mate enjoy yourself and stay safe.
Great video we went to that fishing village for lunch, it was delicious! Can’t wait to get back to Thailand!
You are simply brilliant at what you do. I love the content. Thank you and I plan to visit Thailand. 🇬🇧🇦🇴
Congratulations 👏 to the winner 🏆 and looks like that Thailand is back on track
Thanks 👍 Chris 😊 for another amazing video from Thailand
Cheers for the vid! Great energy! Going there in a month for first time so things looking good 👍🏽
Thanks again! Great to see great to see people holiday making and the heartbeat of Thailand getting back to work!
I am very happy for the coffee guy and that you still keep going back to him.
So great to see this . Gives us all hope . Thanks Chris !
I’m looking to move out there soonish . Nice to have a show around
I'm so glad to hear this, Chris, thanks for sharing the update! I'm going to Phuket in under two weeks and getting the COE's for me and six friends was way more complicated than i expected. But now i just can't wait to finally get to paradise again!
There seem to be more people now in Phuket, but when I did James Bond Island and some canoe back in 2017, it was just totally crowded and you had to queue to take a picture!
So, I think it's the good time to get to Phuket. And hopefully I'll do that next month...
Phuket is always a beautiful island. It is the dream of many tourists who want to visit it.
I was in Patong in the first half of December, and it ramped up very rapidly. Before you knew it, it was total partyland (for better or worse!).
Awesome video as always. Loved the excursions and nature views.
Thanks for your videos. I always enjoy and youre vidoes really a big reason for me to say bye bye and move to Thailand! You bring this special feeling with your Videos! Thanks man. Greetings from Nonthaburi ✌🏽
Enjoying your videos Chris and Hayley. Cheers!
Can’t wait to see Patong again. In CM now, then heading to Samui on 23rd, then down to Patong on 4th Feb. great video, u packed a lot in and made me smile seeing the old Patong coming to life again
We’re currently staying in Patong, yesterday we used 5 Star Marine to take us to James Bond Island and the Mangroves and they were absolutely unbelievable treated us like VIP’s, took us to all the best stops and caves. Highly recommended, if you want a private, taylor made tour they are the number one company in Phuket.
Love it, been a few years :( Looking forward (hopefully) to celebrating my 50th back in Patong this year!
Amazing video! Miss Thailand 🇹🇭.
Amazing episode, nice editing and work as always! Must be so much work behind this, and it came put really well! Cheers from Sweden!
You're a pro Chris....entertaining vlogs every time. I originally stayed at Diamond Cliff Hotel in the nineties in Phuket. James Bond Island was like a tourist magnet but the surrounding islands are spectacular and highly recommended. Like your other subscribers I'd love to come back
That's awesome
Welcome back to Phuket!, I’d love to show you the southern parts of the island and Phuket town at night, so much to see.. let me know if you got the time, cheers 🍻
That was fun to watch. You covered a lot of ground. Thanks for sharing.😎
glad to see things coming back to life slowly but surely
Thank you for another amazing video! We went to Phuket in November, they just opened the island then. It was my fourth time, after almost 20 years. You covered most of the places - marina, Paton Beach, Bangla road, downtown.. Unfortunately, we could not go to the Phi Phi islands because of the travel restrictions. Definitely one of the places on the list to retire!
any idea if we are allowed to go to Phi Phi islands now from Phuket and Krabi?
Phuket looks packed now! Me and my girlfriend are planning a trip this time next January!
hey chris .. just want to let you know that .. you, my friend .. are super duper inspiring .. many thanks for sharing that awesome alley @ 13:41 in the video. it reminds me of a trap house that i frequented in america. you looked so happy strolling through. kockle doodle doo .. unfortunately that was something we could not do around my trap house. do they have trap houses in phuket ?
Those floating apparatus with the huts are actually, mussel farms and double as cages for keeping live fish, lobsters and blue crabs !
So upbeat man I love it. Brings a ray of sunshine into my Bangkok life.
nice to see people there, hello Hailey and Anna, hope uni is going well
Great pace and movement in this video. Good stuff.
Recent subsiber from Melbourne. I love watching your videos and the contents. Hoping to holiday in Thailand soon.
So happy for Phuket people than tourists starting coming back
Gonna land in Phuket tonight! Thanks for the update, I was worried it would either be deserted or crawling with Aussies since their borders just opened up🏖🏖
Congrats!! to Dorian hope you will make it to Thailand soon. Very welcome :)
I like it very much. Have a nice trip in Thailand. on every trip you take
Hi Chris, wondered if you are able to do a video about the process of registering a Drone? Or know a good resource with updated info? Thanks great video as always 🙃
Thanks for your encouragement. I’m coming to Patong again and about to book our room at Homm Bliss South beach Patong. I’ve been staying at this hotel many times. The best spot on Patong beach. And I’m a long time fan for this channel from a very early beginning.
Hey Chris, do you have spare ticket for me?
Amazing! Beautiful Thailand through the eyes of a gorgeous husband, uncle, father and retiree 🤩👍🏻👍🏻
Love the shirt, love to go back there again 🎉
Another terrific video! Thanks Chris!
I hope this gets millions of views!
Hello, I'm in Thailand, I live in Surat Thani and I'm Thai too.
The caves in Phang Nga Bay open up to what is called "Hongs". Only tree countries in world have these Jurrasic Park locations. Bravo Zulu to Shawn for taking you there.
Good job, Chris,,
🙏🙏 🇹🇭🇹🇭
I was totally not expecting that. When you walked outside, a house, with pool... and then OCEAN, right there.
Hoping for a negative test this time and get to Phuket, by Feb 9th, before moving on to Samui.
Would have preferred to go straight to Koh Samui, but Phuket Sandbox has better/cheaper flight and hotel options at the moment.
I love it buddy and keep those videos coming
Chris you are epic. I am proud of you as another Canadian.
love watching miss Thailand been many times
Been all over Thailand, but never been to Phuket. Your video has me biting on the bit to visit, Chris.
Love you video, keep up you good job Chris.
Amazing vdo that you show where was pangnga bay super natural place. I would be visit there for the next trip.😊😊
Those pictures with the guy from Coffee Talk were legendary LOL
Have you been to Ritchie & Maybelles cafe in Kata yet ?
Funtertaining as always C.J. enjoy Phuket buddy 🙏
And as always, C Ya in the next one, cheers 🙌🍻
Oh, howI miss Phuket so very much.
Thanks for the update, looks much better. @2:30 you passed a boat yard that looks like a great place to haul out, can you share the name of the boat yard?
Have to visit this area, love the island trips.
Sunset at Naiharn beach very awesome !!! ")
I took some of my best sunset and twilight photos from the rooftop of the Hotel Clover in Patong. Followed up a week later with some great sunset photos/timelapse and night photos of Asok from the rooftop of the Hotel Clover on Soi 16.
Awesome Chris just hope that you have a wonderful time, everyone is jealous of you and Kayle
