You did it again my friend. Your videos do not get more high quality than this. You showcase Thailand so eloquently.

Thanks. I'm both amazed and grateful a few watch even 30 mins (esp without nodding off;)
I stayed 2 weeks in Khanom in March. One week in Vish Hotel & second week in Sea Breeze House on Naiplao Beach (you covered them 12/18 months ago!). Barely any farangs at the time bar some intrepid continental Europeans. And as your drone shots showed beaches entirely deserted. Well worth it & not yet destroyed by overtourism like other previously fantastic places in Southern Thailand.
I was just thinking 10 minutes ago I would like to see a new video from your channel.. that would make my night 🎉
Thank you for showing ne this private spot. I away from homeland since childhoid.. now I'm a tourist in my own Homeland. I can't wait to vone back for my final golden years.. thank you for respectful video of my country. ❤
I proposed to my fiancé during a sunrise on Khanom beach. Beautiful place and feels like thailand from 20 years ago.

I'm with you STL there's nothing better than being away from people to be able to enjoy the atmosphere of a place. This is an area I never got to see funny nobody even mentioned it and it is a real secret hidden gem. Thanks for highlighting it my friend. Bushyboy Oz

Thanks for the nice movie,you are by far the best for making movies ,and giving very good information about Thailand. 😇🙏
your tips are pure gold for me....thank you soooooo much 🤗
KZread algorithm brought your video to me, what a gift.
Im so excited about this Khanom series. I fell in love with Khanom the last time you went. I was blown away by the chill vibe and endless empty beaches. Im praying you make these videos longer with endless sidetrips throughout. Love your content and thanks for all the work you put in
Merci beaucoup !!!

Et vous aussi mon ami:) Btw any looking in, this is from Miss Nadine, humble serpent slayer and innkeeper at lovely Bamboo Resort Khanom. To contact her, or to enquire about rooms, or Khanom info, pls click the link in the pinned comment above.
The most positive farang in Thailand. Love this channel.
Another short video, this one could've went for hours and I would watch it. Thank you once again for the short great video lol.
Love your clips and love Thailand, great detail and prices, keep up the great work, always looking forward to your next upload
OMG- my husband and I were beginning to wonder about what happened to you! So glad to see you back & love this awesome video❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing this vlog & so dying to see your next one 😊
I stayed in Khanom and Prachuap Khiri Khan last year after watching your vids. Was definitely not disappointed, I hope to do the same this year. Thanks again 😀
Great side trip - very much in keeping with the name of the channel.
I've been to Khanom countless times ;) But there's still so many amazing places to discover around there! Thanks for a lovely video! The maps are a great touch by the way!
Great videos when you travel around, because i have stayed in Hua Hin many times, but more down to south looks nice, keep up the great job! 😊😊
Great concept, man! Would love to see more places like these :)

Wow wouldn’t even know this place existed Love these places
Been to Koh Samui visiting but didn't know those other beaches were there. Thanks for the new updates of the beaches, great video.
Great Video ! Exploring Thailand will be a #1 priority once I am retired. These videos are great and really show folks that Thailand is a safe place and people are VERY welcoming ! :)
Thanks made a crappy day better. Always enjoy your videos. One of the few creators the longer videos don't bother me at all.
You said it STL, "just effin' wow"! Not surprised...but always amazed at what you are able to bring to life w/ a camera, drone, and maps. All of the areas you've shown here look like such fun to explore and the Khanom area is a real beauty! I cannot wait to see what else you have in store for us.
Love love love these vlogs. I really appreciate the time & effort you put into these. You’re helping me plan for a young retirement.
"Just wow!" Took the words right out of my mouth. Only about 3 more years and I hope to be standing on one of those beaches. I'll buy you a drink if we run into each other! Thanks for another fantastic video.
Thank again for another great video showing off the beaten path resorts! Hope to visit sometime soon! Bye for now, take care! Peter
I have missed seeing your videos of Thailand it was so nice to view this such a good start to my morning ❤❤
Love watching your video's, very educational!!..Keep them coming!
I'm with you on the "off season,/crowdless beaches. I used to love going to places like English Bay or Canada Place to watch the fireworks, or going to Playland or the PNE, all the super busy and loud, over crowded places, but that passion died fast and now I can't stand crowds or noisy/load places. Maybe it's old age catching up to me. LMFAO CHEERS buddy. Keep safe and stay healthy. 🙂👍
As always, another great video !
I do love Khanom! Rather expensive by Thai standards though. Thanks for showing us.
Very useful, I'm headed that way in about a week finally ending up in Krabi.
good stuff as always stl. always looking forward to your next video
Returning To Thailand this coming February. Koh Samui, Phangan & Koh Tao. We love your videos ❤

without doubt the best video's about Thailand, so interesting accompanying you on your travels, thanks!! Also the song playing when you went into Yataka resort 28:00 made my jaw drop, one of my favourite by a young artist who is sadly no longer with us, and not that well known i think. Anybody else in the comments catch it?
that was a quick half hour! watched in one sitting. thanks, as always!
Our Thai friend took us to Khanom from Ao Nang for a day tour , stunning place . We also visited Nan Hin Tha Ha which was also beautiful 😍
Thanks for another great video! What a little gem of a place❤I’m hoping to find something similar up north of Phuket on the Andaman Sea. I’ll keep watching your videos til I retire there. Much love from Japan ❤❤
Love your vids. Getting close to retirement.

good evening/ good morning as you are 10 hours ahead of me. I've been following your channel for quite some time, and I like the way you put up the things. This would be the place for me, as I live in São Paulo Brazil with too many people. I would love to spend a few weeks in an isolated place like this, except for its locals. Excellent tip. Keep up the good job. Best wishes from Brazil
Another great video cheers just love your videos.🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺👏👍
The entire Western side of the Gulf has tons of fantastic much less traveled beach setting options > spent a week last year approx 4+ hrs north of Khanom (in Chumphon) Thung Wua Laen (Bull) Beach > very quiet & cozy > Ferry about an hr + if I recall to Samui & Phangan > indeed hidden gems all over this side of the Gulf + I'm an early riser so the Sunrise beach walks facing East on the Gulf are spectacular 🌅
love the video. I really like the uncrowded places!
Great prices and nice hotels
Another amazing video 😊
Great timing, we are heading back to Khamon at the end of July (after going there last Aug) and then taking the car ferry to Koh Samui and then onto Koh Phangan. Love your video's, hopefully you put another video up before we get there.
Great as always!
You sold me! I'm headed there in 3 months.
Just checked last night to see if I missed a video. I’m following your footsteps in Kuta, Lombok right now (some of the same beaches today) and though I am following, don’t worry, I’m not stalking you, just following the video trail you blazed.

Hi, actually bought the car last year. Was looking to buy a bike but saw the car and as it was same price as a bike and it all checked out at the mechanic and DMV (blue book/tax paid etc) bought it for 50k Baht/$1500. This was the longest road trip so far and 'Trippy' ran like a champ, so far so good (touch wood;)

Yotaka resort looks pretty nice wow. I've never been to this part of Thailand before. You are giving me ideas for next trip!
We were in Samui back in February, big mistake😬🤪high season, Chinese new year and in a weekend…….great video as always STL!
Agree, the less tourists the better. I always make to the end of your vids and glad I did. Beach Reggae festival up next.....Looking forward to it! 😁
Wow it is so much beautiful there! One reason more to left Samui.
Man love watching your videos cause I will be moving to Thailand soon and can’t wait to see all of Thailand
We need to keep this area of Thailand a secret 😅 Lovely video as always
Wow love this places wouldn’t even know these places existed
Riveting ... STL stands for "Splendiferous Transcendent Life"
Absolutely brilliant video, a hat tip to ya sir. I dislike most of the islands, far too many farang, the only island I really enjoyed was Koh Kud.
Love it! Looks great!
I liked Koh phangnan beaches way better than Samui. Great video.
I stayed in that same Bungalow you're in last year and the landlady is pretty cool.
Enjoyed a trip late May, none of the crowds as you say. From Surat Thani to Nakhon Si Thammarat I don't think we saw a farang tourist, changed a bit when we got to Krabi!
I lived near Charli Bar in 2018. Paradise is fine for a month... or two. I got bored. I agree.. Best beach in Thailand
As always great videos. Something that might help the viewer, I like to follow along on in Google maps. I typed in your header and it didn't pop it's nice when you can type it in before you start the video so I know where you're at 😎🥃
I will add these spots to my list. Thx
Hey !! We love your Thailand’s video 🇹🇭😃🙏😍. We moved to Koh Phangan last year, and definitely your KZread channel helped us a lot with that decision to come here . Are you still in Koh Phangan ?
Thanks for the vids-love em.
Great video! I'm looking to make my way down south to Phang Nga and Krabi to check out the coastal areas, away from the beaten paths, on the Andaman Sea. Surat Thani and Nakhon Si Thammarat coastal areas on the gulf side also have nice beaches!
Another fantastic video Randy thank you. Yet another area to venture out to from Hua Hin when I arrive... If you see this Randy could you comment on the wifi availability and reliability. Many Thanks Col.👍
This is a lovely video and the scenery astounding. But my preference to quiet for me. But thank you
What the hell was that trick, about the 2bd party place, but the Price never came up !? I was all ready to plan a party !! So, how much ?7😳 I'm gonna guess it's under a hundred $us, which makes a once/mo neighborhood party flexibility work. It feels so good to give ! 🤷🥳😃 . what an awesome show today, just what I needed.😊
A great video as usual STL, how long did you have to stay in Khanon during covid?

i was just askingg myself last night;where is the new video:))) thank you!
i think when you were driving and found that bamboo resort was one of the earlier vlogs i saw after i subcribed, i think you either had come from koh pangan or went there after
Love the video! Perfect spot. Will definitely check it out. What drone is that? Ty
fair price for that aava resort and spa for 6 nights. well it is rainy season but still not bad at all.
Another great video! Thanks STL! Quick drone question. Do I need to do anything prior bringing the same drone from Canada? And thank you for no sand landings this time. Lol!

Licence is 'officially' required (got mine when purchased at dealer here). However, few tourists seem to have one as it takes ages plus red tape etc. Most are using under 149G drones like mine which is a grey area but no flying within 9km/5 miles of airports, obey 150m ceiling limit and no flying in Ntnl Parks where prohibited. On a personal note, no 'buzzing' people relaxing on a beach, or at a pool etc and moreover just use common sense.
