    I"ll tell you what"s happened to Ao Nang, Krabi airport!, before the airport it was a quiet little village, the buildings petered out before the Mosque, there were no Indian restaurants and no tailors. Wherever they build airports along come the flotsam and jetsam, same thing happened to Koh Samui. Thailand is disappearing under concrete.

    By the way, the "Mystery Gift" at the at the creepy vending machine corner is really about the weird, disturbing short story on the outside of the package, which is usually in the same style as those signs you looked up. The contents inside are just some cheap snack. Some of them even have envelopes attached with a continuation of the story. But even if you ask a Japanese person to translate the text, they will usually tell you that it barely makes sense. Some people think that whole location is really just a strange art installation of some kind.

    Very helpful and comprehensive review of Discovery 2. We are booked to take a one week cruise on the ship in July. We had intended to take a two week cruise Far East cruise on the ship in March 2025 but this was cancelled due to security situation in Red Sea area. We wanted to test Discovery 2 and so replaced it with Ottoman Odyssey cruise - this will be our first proper cruise and am looking forward to it. Thanks for your excellent vlog.🎉🎉🎉🎉

    Hey Wayne. 2 very different places. In fact polar opposites. It depends if you like it quiet or you want everything on your doorstep. Either way, a Dolmus runs over to Turunç and back and boats as well. It's a bit of a journey by road though. To us Turunç is well worth a day visit but not for us to stay in. It's horses for courses though. Thanks very much for watching 🙂

It's best to ask around the bars when you are there on an evening as that's the most prominent time for them to come out. Have a great trip!

    So, with the cave, you were meant to explore it when he dropped you at Railey (east). You go through the walking street, follow to footpath to railey West (past some hotel complexes, and then turn right at Railey West beach (there is a floating pier in front of you and Railey Princess hotel to your left).. walk towards the cliffs on the right (if you’re facing the sea) and eventually after passing some mangroves you’ll spot a path round to the right ..with a fence on the right (usually with monkeys on the top) and with wall/cave on your left. This is the entrance to the cave. The footpath follows through the over hanging cave (it’s open on one side the whole time) full of stalegmites. When you get to the end you’re at the best beach in the area - Phra Nang beach. Easily one of the best beaches I’ve ever been to and well worth sunbathing there for the day before either getting a boat from that beach direct to Ao Nang or walking back round to a Railey West. Hope this helps!! 👊🏼🥳 🇹🇭

    @rkss2014 it depends on what the prices are like this year and how much you would usually eat/drink and where. It's personal preference so it's generally something we don't advise on. Turkey goes up in price year on year. This was filmed in June 2022 so expect some increases for sure. Unfortunately we can't confirm as we'd have liked to do this month as our subscribers have voted us to go to Kos instead of Turkey on our social pages. Hope you have a great trip!

Don't get us wrong we've still done trips but nothing like that 6 month one. Genuinely the hardest scene we have ever had to film as we knew we didn't do enough and had to come home. After the camera went off we were both in floods of tears for a good 30 minutes. Things will never be the same so it's sticking to the full time jobs until they can be similar.
