Wooo hoooo!!!! We are your 1000th subscriber! We have been following your channel for a while and we saw on the Thailand Vloggers group that you were close to reaching 1k. We went to see now if you had made it and you were 1 away! Let us be the first to say congratulations on reaching 1k🔥🔥🔥
The snorkeling there seems incredible. I've always been a little afraid to go snorkeling because I have an irrational fear of sharks and other underwater creatures 🤣 but this looks like an incredible experience and the water is so clear! My favourite snorkeling adventure was in St Lucia.
@@LucasWorldTravel Near equator the sea is warm all year around you dont need to wear wet suit to protect the cold and most of the dangerous shark are inhabited in the cold water zone you may heard the incident in the US or Australia but not in Thailand like even it million of million tourist here. its very very rare that shark attack people here cause of most of the warm are calm but it can happen in the muddy water when they can't see and it not where people swim in the first place so they may bit but no one ever die by the shark in Thailand. the most common one and most dangerous on of all in this region is poison jelly fish but they are normally out in monsoon season that the sea is rough and boat should stay shore It's very safe even the kid can enjoy this activity in Thailand.
Same here! My fear of snorkeling or swimming in open water has governed my life for 50 years.... until I went to Thailand and visited the islands out there!! There are so many areas where the water is very shallow, crystal clear and full of fish. I gave it a go and was immediately addicted!! So much so that I went on a second trip of the islands to have another go. The following year I did the same🤣🤣. We ended up getting so carried away that we heard a strange noise, turned round and realised we were closer to another island than the one we were supposed to be on and they were shouting and whistling us back😬. I know it's going to seem pathetic to some people but, to me, it was a MASSIVE thing to overcome this phobia. Now I'm even watching diving videos on UA-cam all the time, especially shark ones, because I've always felt blind panic even just WATCHING things like that before. PLEASE, if ever you get the opportunity to do it, just try it. DON'T go with anyone that's going to force you or make you feel like a let down if you can't manage it. Even if you just sit in the water where you feel safe and put some goggles on and have a little look under water... even that's enough to see something cool! I hope you get to try it one day💜💜💜
Another lovely tour! I’ve never seen Nemo outside of a fish tank, so cool that you saw them on your snorkel! I absolutely love the village that you visited, very sad that their original village got destroyed, but how great that no one lost their lives in the tsunami. Well done to David for his first dive 👏💪 Almost on 1K guys 🥳
You found Nemo! That's some beautiful, healthy coral and bright, colorful fish! I can't believe you saw that purple starfish. I have been snorkeling before but I have never seen this many fish. David, great job on your first dive! That's amazing that the elders on Morgan Village got everyone to safety during the tsunami. I remember news of that happening and how devastating it was. It's great to see the village rebuilt and thriving.
That was lovely. I really enjoyed seeing the underwater shots. I've just bought a new snorkel but haven't used it yet. I'm like you I want to try diving but I'm also a scaredy cat.
I'm going to take a free diving course to get over that fear. I always feel more secure after a trained professional tells me that I'm competent or not.
We really enjoy visiting local villages like that to be able to support the communities. They need it now more than ever for sure. Those coral reefs were so beautiful and the fish so colorful wow. I can get down there a bit but Steve not so much, very nice of your guide, but even cooler David went for it!
Looks so beautiful; we've done snorkeling in St. johns island in USVI and on Oahu in hawaii, both were beautiful but st john's was probably better. We were hoping to actually get scuba certification when in Thailand last year because we heard it was a beautiful place to snorkel and dive but unfortunately...2020... hopefully we'll get to experience the beautiful corals and fish there one day. Thanks for sharing!
That snorkelling did look gorgeous! I (Kirsty) got bitten by one of those black and yellow striped fish in Cayo Arena in Dominican Republic... did have food in my hand though! 😂 I always love how delicate and tiny Clown fish are when you see them up close in the sea 😍Great duck dive David! 👏was it $82 for the both of you or each?
Wow, I wish all the world's coral looked as healthy as that! That looks like it was amazing snorkeling! So fun you even saw Nemo there! Morgan Village looked beautiful too. That was a cool story how they were able to detect the tsunami before it hit and saved thousands of lives!
We didn't even know what healthy coral looked like until we saw Surin. Now that we know, I don't think we will look at the sea the same. It's amazing the things travel teaches you!
Morgan village looks so unique especially when the elders saw the signs of the big wave, something so special about this village. Wow the coral is absolutely beautiful, we've never seen such beautiful coral before. Drive site number 2 was super unreal especially when you found little Nemo 😍 well done David on your First dive, it looks so impressive and it must be so freeing to do it. You guys are living your absolute best best lives there in Thailand and the FOMO is super real. What a treat it was to go to the Surin Islands.
We had no idea what to expect when we went to Surin. It's so nice to be blown away. We are still designing our best life, but I'd say we are definitely on track! Thanks for watching guys! Regards from Thailand!
Why did you select the Surin Islands over Phi Phi? Have you been to Phi Phi? I've not been to either, but have been snorkeling in Koh Samui. One of the best experiences of my life!!
Yes, we went to Phi Phi when we lived in Krabi so Surin was our next adventure. Phi Phi Island is prettier, but the snorkeling is much better on the Surin Islands.
You can book through Klook here. www.klook.com/invite/RAZWEA?c=USD Just search for the Surin Islands and current tour options should come up. I think it’s $75 without pickup and $89 with accommodation pickup.

The snorkeling at all three dive sites looked really good, but the variety of coral and amount of fish at #2 was absolutely amazing. The tour of Morgan Village was really cool as well. I love all the huts built up on stilts. I would love to visit this place someday!
What a magical world you shared with me. It's mind boggling knowing such beauty exists for people to enjoy. I am not a diver and I don't snorkel. Without people like you I'd never get the discover the wonders onder water. 👍 🎥 💖 🌷 🙋♀️ Congratulations with your milestone subscribers. 🙏 🍾 🥂
Wow, even from the first bits of footage, this looks incredible! Definitely looks like the best snorkelling spot! Great that you get all your meals with that tour! That water is a gorgeous blue.. Wow what a story about the tsunami..so glad everyone survived! Did you use a filter on your underwater camera? The colours are so vibrant! Amazing footage, what a brilliant video, thanks so much for sharing 😍💖
Wow! What a perfect place for snorkeling! Clownfishes are beautiful. I like Morgan Village a lot. It's a pity they had to move and rebuild, but their new houses look really cozy. David did a great job on free diving for the first time! Congrats!
we went to similan island trip and found the fish all the same and and not a lot of them and the coral very bland but the boad trip and islands were lovely, the snorkeling in egypt was much better, bigger fish and so many different kinds and the coral so colourful.
Such an amazing experience, the under water looks so beautiful. I'm was amazed you captured the cute nemo, its really cute when she/he play the coral. is the $82 snorkeling tour is the cost of the two of you or each person?
Agreed. Covered every island in Thailand and Similan National Park is the best snorkeling. Second best is Koh Lipe. The diving at both is outstanding as well. The Andaman beats the Gulf any day 😁
@@LucasWorldTravel Do it! It's the best way to see cool stuff, meet fun people, and look cool while doing it 😅 And if you are in Thailand then yes, Similan wins. Although Koh Lipe does have the most amazing coral gardens and the bonus of being ridiculously cheap (2800 pp for two dives getting down to 2000 after a few dives). Stonehenge is our favorite dive spot here (still on Lipe after 2 weeks. Loving it!)
Have you found Nemo yet? Where was the best snorkeling you've ever experienced?

At least you tried it before. I used to be scared of fish too, but I think I'm over that fear for sure now. Now, I'm fascinated by them!

I’m really enjoying your videos. Those underwater shots are so pretty. They remind me of my adventures in the South Pacific
Awesome! Glad you like them! We will get to the South Pacific one day too!

Surin islands, amazing snorkeling Thailand, i'am from Borneo Kalimantan
Very nice and welcome to the channel!
what is the best time of the year to visit surin islands?
The islands are only open for tourism from November-April so that’s the best time to go.
What’s the name of the tour operator?
Sea Star
How cool was the guide to get you more footage! Well done David :) what a lovely day out, was that a per person price?
Yes, the cost was per person. It was one of the more expensive day-trips but for what we got to experience we were very pleased.
@@LucasWorldTravel it was a great looking day.
@@LucasWorldTravel was the transport from phuket included in this price? if not, how much did that cost?
@@kasper.kristoffersen It depends on how you book. But yes, it's possible to get transport from Phuket included.
Super. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much Millie! We just do some simple color correct in iMovie to saturate the colors a bit more.

Interesting to hear! Thanks for the tip!
Kendra, you are amazing. A gift from God. You are an angel! Love your caring and joyful intent. Towards Lucas and everything.
Aww thanks Lucas! Just sharing our love of travel. Thanks for your kind comment. It’s much appreciated!
Such an amazing experience, the under water looks so beautiful. I'm was amazed you captured the cute nemo, its really cute when she/he play the coral. is the $82 snorkeling tour is the cost of the two of you or each person?
It was the cost per person so this one is a little pricey but worth it in our opinion!
Beautiful ❤
Wow!
Very Nice my friend！
Good day my friend！
Thanks for stopping by! Kind regards from Thailand!
Agreed. Covered every island in Thailand and Similan National Park is the best snorkeling. Second best is Koh Lipe. The diving at both is outstanding as well. The Andaman beats the Gulf any day 😁
We still need to take diving lessons. One day we’ll get to that level. Glad to hear in your experience Similan and Surin are the best.

So informative thanks
That’s great to hear! Hope you enjoy Surin!

Thanks Brittney! Thanks for watching! We really appreciate it!
Could you tell me the tour company? It looks so nice 🙏
We used Sea Star and had a great experience!
wonderful snorkeling video 🐡🐟🐠
Thank you 🤗
Heaven
Sooo beautiful! I don't think I've ever seen that many fish in one place, or that purple coral! Great footage! :)
This Surin Islands trip was by far our favorite! So spectacular!
Cool!
