I am Ken Abroad, a full-time traveler traveling southeast Asia, currently living in Thailand, making Thailand travel vlogs. It is my goal here on this channel to visit every country in southeast Asia and bring you along the journey.
You won’t see much tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the “real” sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.

17:55 Nam Chuam in Thai meaning Syrup
Hello,Ken . 'Namcheurm' น้ำเชื่อม that you asked the lady for the drink means syrup .
Happy Loy Krathong to all Thai viewers here...🙏🙏🙏
Wonderful. That's what exploration is all about. Thanks for this video.
I agree with you Ken, I rather stay in untouch areas away from tourist spots. I love local people, markets and just see how they live in the community. Thanks Ken and extra thumb from for cool drone shots :)
Thank you very much for taking us again for another fun filled out on this beautiful island. It's always exciting to see such incredible scenery and village vibes. Aha, local market always fascinate you. Wonderful to see your interaction with the friendly locals there. The filling of that round biscuit might be red beans or mung beans.
Wow, lovely ending of this video with a stunningly breathtaking sunset....simply awesome 😍🥰
Thanks for your detailed comment once again, really appreciate them 🙌😊
@@KenAbroad my pleasure as always...very happy to know you appreciate my comments. ( Sorry that my comments are at times a bit lengthy ) 🤓🤓✌️🙌
@@chaw294 no need to be sorry for that🙌😊
@@KenAbroad 👍🙌😊
Lovely little island with friendly Thais and market food, thanks for sharing your experience as always Ken 🙏 and C Ya in the next one 🙌
Thanks for taking us around the island with you! Really appreciate your positive attitude even on rainy days. The rain is what makes those places so green and lush. And another beautiful sunset at the end. I am reminded of the saying "Everything will be alright in the end. And if it is not alright, it is not the end."
I thought this vid was about Ko Mak, but most of the tim e its about Ken !
Loved this island above every place I've ever been to, I saw quite a few interesting vintage cars there, hopefully you saw them too, thank you for this video❤️
The view of the beach at 1:40 and the bay at 10:46 are awesome. The love temple looks facinating but deserted and not maintained. The food market looks interesting, like the gathering place for the locals and the grilled chicken looks yummy. What a perfect way to relax with fresh coconut while watching the spectacular sunset at 23:54.
Always look forward Ken. Never let you be touched by bad comments. This is your creation and I've been watching you for over a year now. You are very down-to-earth and loves to explore untouched places. I really love what you do. Never stop and don't let anyone stop you. There will always be people being rude or commenting in a way you as a creator shouldn't see. The same goes for every art being made. You create art and continue. Be strong. I want more :) This was a fantastic episode. Continue!...
Thanks Ken, for showing us what an average tourist usually wouldn't know. Gotta add these places to the bucket list.
you are always adventurous Ken! Love all your videos. Stay safe!
Thank you for introducing this beautiful island.
Besides stunning scenery n beautiful sunsets, am also into local markets too ! Thanks Ken for another great vlog.
Lovely place with beautiful sunset...epic. tks
You're probably the only Farang on this island...... Least, you get to explore the simple things on the island that has to offer..... Keep em rollin' ...Stay safe, be vigilant, ride safely....
Hi Ken, at 16:10 you should be having "kanom pia", with mung bean paste within. If it is salty, the mung bean would be mixed with prawn paste / pepper =)
We went to kho Mak in 2018 love the small island my favorite place is turtle beach.
Actually, on wet days the colors really become saturated. When I was into photography, I'd love going out in the rain to take pictures. 19:45 - the umbrella makes you turn bright red... 😂 21:18 - a SOURDOUGH BAGEL??? Wow... In Amsterdam the "Bananen Bar" is something else altogether... 🤣🤣🤣
Another enjoyable island trip and nice to see you in the live chat as well. Good life lesson there - you don't need material things to be happy! Your health is always a good start.
Thank you 😊🙌
The biscuit is called wife cake/cookie. The filling inside is usually winter melon and almond paste. It’s usually sweet.
Hi Ken 👋🏻 so you have covered the whole island within a day , that's great. Nice relaxing tour on the bike. Again..another exotic hidden statue 😅 not sure of the purpose maybe that could be educational for some people 😢😬 sorry just saying. The sceneries really mesmerizing and what could be better than watching the sunset by the beach...👍
Guten abend Herr Ken,
How come Koh Mak doesn't have any betel nuts trees despite its name? I can't tell by watching your video whay type of vegetation grows in the interior of the island. All I can tell is it's very lush and green. Great job once again showing the island life! Nam Chuam is syrup by the way!
It's surprising to find English speakers at the little fresh market. Pretty interesting, isn't it? Thank you for showing us the sunset beach! It's totally worth it!
Ciao und Aufwedersehen!
Beautiful island. Love the rain. I think that thing you ate had mung bean filling. Thank you for the video
Oh to have the time to do what you are experiencing Ken 🙏Was half expecting the Market people all to stop what they were doing as you walked in 😊😊Thanks for your time and effort once again
Hi Ken, that love garden looks like the lady statues are all in a love making positions............LOL...............maybe that is the main activity in the village!! Great find............well done bro!
Thank you Ken for all your hardwork✌🏼in getting us content, a nice day exploring, we enjoying the beauty of the islands as well.👌🏼
Thank you 😊
This sunset view has its own beauty. Especially after the rain, I am expecting at least a little bit rainbow. That would be beautiful. By the way this island is worth exploring. Wonder whether is there any school for children to study or is there any hospital in case of emergency and so forth.
Thanks for the beautiful video, Ken
Its nice to hear the sounds of insects. Cool..
The sunset at the end is sooooo beautiful!! 💖✨💫
Something different . Not aware of that island though have been to Trat. Tq Ken for highlighting ur exclusive trip der 👍
don't be sorry it is just like it is , little of out of the box make unique , great video keep going Ken
It’s a beautiful island, I must visit one day.
very beautiful, thank you.
That is a Chinese Moon Cake you ate Kanome -Be-it in Thai. They tend to always be various styles of peanuts some can be dry and boring others not bad. The one you ate tends to sell for about 10 baht.
Hy ken .I m Ahmad from malaysia.this vloge so good .I enjoy u r doing well.thanks bro
Perfect place for a few days away from the madding crowd! Keep safe my friend.
my home town ,welcome
Island is just woww ❤️
We have something in common . I also love to visit unknown places where people seldom tread ..
The rain looks great, I bet it is warm too!
Ken, all these islands and provinces are used to be Cambodian territories, and Koh Mak means Mom Island (= mother island) and that why you see woman statues and the people on these islands are former Khmer ethnic people. I can tell by their accents. Enjoy your visit...
Great episode Ken,
That snack is call Kanom Pia. Usually they have bean stuff inside.
Mung beans
Awww…the sky is so blue!!
Amazing nature
Adventure! Thanks.
This is a very nice island and a beautiful trip. Did you rent the motorbike on Koh Mak ? 🙏
Ay hotel yeah ✌😊
Thanks gerr Ken.
I saw part of a temple grounds in north-central Thailand that had some interesting areas like your love garden. I am not certain but if I remember correctly good luck finding a mate and fertility. Otherwise not something you would see in many countries.
been loads of time and koh kood, and to say chang is quiet is unbelievable
That was awesome....
Num-cheum the water that the lady added to your mixed berry drink is the syrup.
Heaven made in Thailand
ผลไม้ไทยทุกชนิดสดและอร่อย
Great stuff.
awesome place ken!!
Happy Friday Ken and everyone. Wishing all a beautiful weekend filled with fun and happiness.
Happy weekend 🙌
This island is awesome!
Naam Chuem in 17.39 is Syrup
Thanks, KEN
Some kind of harp ! Yeah right!Alan
Love your video
Hey Ken I want to spend a couple weeks in Ko Chang or Ko Mak . I’ve never been but want to come in mid February when the smoke is bad in the north . For. 3 star experience and nice beach where would you suggest ? Ko Chang or Ko Mak ? Many thanks
Koh chang if you'd like to have more life going on, more hotel and restaurant choices and a little bit of nightlife. Koh mak or koh kood of you're okay with less choices, no nightlife and more quite ✌all 3 are beautiful though 😊
@@KenAbroad thanks Ken Safe travels Love following your videos and has helped in deciding on my own travels ! Jay in Maehongson
Da du Deutsch sprichst schreibe ich Deutsch solltest dir den Weg zum Turtle Beach zeigen lassen und essen bei Konginseng kann ich dir sehr empfehlen auch recht preiswert und mega lecker zum Frühstück Food Art Hut mega und Massage bei Nhong sie ist eine Meisterin in dem Fachgebiet der Massage geniess die Zeit und grüss mir die lieben Inselnbewohner und deine Gastgeberin Hanoi
Danke für die Tipps 🙌😊
Ken, how about eating seafood? It's a little odd to be eating land animals on an island
Ken, you rented a scooter? When? How much per day? On that Island?
250 per day, rented at my hotel
@@KenAbroad oh great! That's cheap. Thanks Ken! I'm definitely going to that Island. I also like the small Islands with less tourists.
Love 💖 you from Pakistan 🇵🇰
23.45 its like picture
Koh Mak is not so popular but Thai ppl know where it is.The reason is this island is so far and a bit difficult to go.Tourists rather choose Koh Chang or Koh Kood where is more convenient and have more nicer resorts.
Smoothy she say Num Cherm mean sugar water that it make from sugar water boil.🇹🇭
nice 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 toronto
17:32 so, did you find out what the mysterious liquid is?

And at 17:54, naam cheum = syrup
