    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.

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."

    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!...

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!

    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...
