@@alyonaglushkova5377 так. Я вважаю що крапля перфекціонізму ніколи не завадить. Звісно не будити фанатиком цього, насправді в цьому відео я багато речей трошечки зроби легшими для себе, що допомогло пришвидшити процес. Наприклад вибір музики у я зараз роблю значно швидше. В минулому це займало в мене тижні. Зараз я роблю це трошечки швидше бо ну не варто воно так багато часу витрачати на це

Great informative review with excellent drone shots. Liked the way the development appears to be low key and low rise. I think I would love this island. Unfortunately if this was Vietnam they would bulldoze the foreshore of the best beach and build high rise 5 star hotels, add a cable car somewhere and build a cringe fake European theme town mega resort.

Good advice re the trigger fish. They are nasty especially in the breeding season in March-April. The "murder" by Burmese is complete BS. The guilty person was a son of a local Mafia boss, therefore was not prosecuted.

@@leebryantravels There have been MANY murders on that island. The people who run that island are sketchy as fuck.

Nobody can deny the beauty of Koh Tao. However, please be cognisant that this island is controlled by the Thai mafia. Lots of people have had mysterious deaths here, the latest victim being a 32 year old British teacher. Be respectful of Thai culture, and please respect the Thai people. Saving face is very real in Thailand.

@alrightanton

Yeah I think being respectful is a general rule wherever you travel. I never really felt threatened there but probably again because I was careful and didn’t do anything stupid.

Koh Tao is partially controlled by the Tuwichian family. My thai friends advise not to visit as even themselves they don't like to go there. However i did visit for 4 days but kept to myself late in the night. One hotel owner told me that the whole road next to the strip is owned by the same person who lives on the top of the hill and they all pay rent to them. Every video about Koh Tao must bring up the 30+ deaths on this island as it is not a joke recommending a place to someone that could cost their life especially naive tourists who have no idea and just want to have a good time in Thailand. A simple google search will reveal tons of info

@alrightanton

Ай бұрын

Yeah I’ve seen comments about that before. Well again I can only speak from my experience, to me the island felt extremely safe. With all these travel places I would be more concerned about drunkards being completely out of their control after a boozy night. Koh Tao is not really a party island and feels more like for sporty/family people. I didn’t sense any threat there. As usual you shouldn’t be doing anything stupid but that’s the same rule everywhere. You piss off locals and they’ll come after you.

@@alrightanton What makes you think that the people that vanished were just drunkards? That sounds very ignorant. Even if that is the case does a drunkard tourist deserve to die or become food for the animals in the jungle like some of the victims? If you were a girl and a thai man made advances and you just were not interested would that mean "piss off locals" and deserve to die? What is happening here is surely something more sinister than that.

@alrightanton

Ай бұрын

No that’s not what I was saying. I mean I would be more concerned of drunkards approaching me and try to get something from me. People getting wasted and deliberately trying to get into trouble with other foreigners on their holidays. To me that’s a bigger threat really. Obviously nobody deserves to die but genuinely this whole “Koh Tao Death Island” drama seems to be massively exaggerated. I spent a week there doing my license and exploring the island, and doing all that on my own and never seen any thing that could be considered as a “threat”.

For Mango Bay use a water taxi; easy!

I’ve heard about this. But to be honest this all sounds like a “bad rep” and if you start digging you might find stories like this on every single island in Thailand. I didn’t notice anything suspicious there, and I’m a very careful person and do spot things like that
