Hi - we are Callum & Jan. We both gave up work a couple of years ago to take the opportunity to travel while we have our health and (relative!) fitness. We have spent 10 weeks touring Europe by car, 10 weeks in Thailand and walked the Inca Trail and backpacked round Peru and Colombia for 8 weeks (we did Blogs on these trips - mainly for family - but if you are interested or think they may be useful they are on RossiesGoRoaming .wordpress.com.
We watched lots of great VLOGs while planning our current trip to Thailand, Laos and Cambodia - so decided to give this a go!

Beautiful place ❤❤❤ love video ❤
Nice video ❤❤❤❤🎉
Love from sri lanka
Wellcome to sri lanka 🙏❤❤❤❤ where are you now
Great video, thank you! My daughter, who will be exactly 10.5yo at the time, and I will be in PP later this year. S21 is on my list, but, seeing your video, I'm second guessing. Do you think she'd be ok? I really would like her to experience the history, and the lessons that come for this, she's a pretty strong kid (not the type to have nightmares from "scary" things), but curious if you think it would be ok? I did the War Museum (pre-parenthood) in Ho Chi Minh City and it had a profound effect on me, I was in tears. Maybe I get the audio for S21 and explain it to her, rather than her having her own audio?
Yes, think she would be fine. Saw quite a few children her age there - just having the audio yourself and explaining it a great idea as you can the filter it appropriately.
We traveled through Sri Lanka with dog food, too.
Thank you sir
Good work, keep it up.
Great video! I really enjoyed watching it.
Great video! Loved the content and your presentation style. ❤
Enjoying following you around Sri Lanka and taking notes for our trip next March.
Hard not to love the place - we'll be going back to do the North and East!
Thank you great video
Very cool will be visiting in a couple of days. The bus trip wow well done lm a big unit 6 foot 4 and 120 kegs don't think l would fit. Great video thank you
Hi guys. Great video. If we decide to hire moped is it possible to access all the temple's on it . Really finding your videos very helpful. We are doing the opposite direction as you guys we started in Sri Lanka. And ending in seam reap
Yes you can!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes, you are Rossies, but accent English!. Nice video. The first time I visited this place in 1974 I sat there and wondered where the descendants of creators have gone as these appear unique. No doubt Alexander the Great knew where he was heading for. The story goes that the children of king Porus (or Paurusha, his ally) came to Sri Lanka and established colonies.
If you want to see ancient irrigation structures please go to Maduru Oya where you can see some engineering marvels going back to 1800 BC which is contemporaries of Mohenjo Daro.
Hello, Rossi is rose haired, but both of you are Browns?. BTW, that king Nissankamalla is from South-east Asia. That show the connection Sri Lankan royals had with that region. Perhaps Sri Lankans more aligned to that region than India.
Hi Rossies Go Roaming, The reason that I like to support your channel - is not because you're doing a series in and on Sri Lanka, but it's merely because people should encourage each other by supporting each other in the form of subscribing to their KZread channels, commenting, liking and sharing the video; that's how we should go about engaging on social media. Not that, what you guys are doing absolutely amazing; traveling the country in a tuk tuk, that journey in itself is brilliant to say the least. I wish you guys all the best and stay safe!
Many thanks for your comment. You're very lucky to live in such a beautiful country - we will be back again!
You two are having way too much fun ❤
Hard not to here - great country!
We loved Sri Lanka, too ❤. But the tuk tuk - that adds a whole new level.of magic!
Very cool experience with the hornbill. Heading to Cambodia from Thailand in few weeks.
Hope you enjoy it!
Beautiful

Thanks for the breakdown and tips, will look at LV for our next trip. Our overall spend for two months was £105 a day for Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand. How do you get around having an unoccupied house for so long with insurance companies? Watching your Sri Lanka videos now as our plan, (plus Kerala) for next Feb/March. Oh and we paid £2 for a bus from Heathrow to Hertfordshire. 😁
The first couple of long trips we used Trusted House sitters as we had an old cat (they get to stay for free, but looks after house and pets - good system!). Last one we informed insurance and as long as heating on to above 10 and someone checking once a week it was ok (small premium). Sri Lanka was brilliant - we're definitely going back at some point to do the N and E coasts.
@@RossiesGoRoaming how long did you go for, I've just watched day 3.
@@karenmason1980 We did 30 days (won't be a video per day!!). Got a bit behind on editing as WiFi in Sri Lanka pretty rubbish.
@@RossiesGoRoaming Look forward to seeing the rest. Do I dare ask where next? 😁
@@karenmason1980 Maybe Singapore, Malaysia (Borneo) and Vietnam in the Autumn - but early stages of planning!
Thank you so much for sending me the link, very helpful as well not loving Jomtien Beach either. Will forward this to a friend as she was asking me for beaches not too far from Bangkok.
Love seeing all the places that we have recently visited on our trip to SE Asia. We were told the birds are Hornbills and they generally hang out around the temple on the hill that you visited. I believe they have been recently reintroduced to the area
❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
keep it up guys !
Welcome to sri lanka ❤
Wow, I'm really impressed with your content! It's both informative and entertaining. Keep up the fantastic work!😊👍
2 Jaffna KZreadrs Kajan Vlogs and Alasteen Rocks recently finished the trip around Sri Lanka using the Tuk Tuk from the same rental place. Make sure to take breaks while driving to give your hands and your back a chance to rest from the strain of driving. Enjoy the trip!
Thanks - think that will be our longest drive so not too bad. No problem taking breaks - so many beautiful spots along the way!
❤
wish you all the best with your channel ! looking forward to watch your adventures try to talk through your journey good luck guys
Thanks - concentrating too hard on the driving on day 1 😱
Have fun in Sri Lanka
Thanks - half way through and it's been great fun so far! Haven't been able to upload anything as the WiFi is rubbish!
@@RossiesGoRoaming glad you are enjoying Sri Lanka. Saw some video's of others with the rented tuktuks and that was indeed a lot of fun! And a totally different country and feeling than Cambodia. We have been in Sri Lanka 8 years ago. It was very nice and very good food 😉. We will get a message when you have done a new upload. Just enjoy now and the videos can always be done later. Best regards!!
We are planning on hopefully slow travelling after retiring in May. We are starting with 6 months (well just short of that) in November. Do you always return to your UK home in between travels? We cannot decided whether to rent our house out (we already do this with another property so know the pitfalls)
We do at the moment, plan to spend Winter away and summer (such as it is!) back in the UK.
We did this last year, hired our tuktuk from the same company......We are still uploading Sri Lanka vlogs more coming soon, but I highly recommend Kingdom Eco lodge rather than go to the busy safari parks look forward to seeing how you get on
Where is Kingdom Eco Lodge?
Will check out your vlogs!
@@RossiesGoRoaming Buddika Niwasa, Thelulla, Wellawaya, Sri Lanka it's so worth it, stay in the tree house private room, for two nights what an experience
hello Rossies welcome to Laos enjoy your journey and safe travel.😊
We are starting our travels and are about to head of to Cambodia and Vietnam for two months. I've seen a couple of your videos. Sri Lanka definitely on our list. What is the name of your fifth top tip so I can try and find one. How does it clip on to your phone? Thank you.
Hi - just called mobile phone lanyard (anti-theft). Can get them on eBay for £2 to £3.
@@RossiesGoRoaming we are flying on Sunday so no time, I'll try and look out for one in Bangkok. Thank you.
Have a great time! (We did get one in Thailand, at Chatuchak Market in Bangkok I think)
Great breakdown, thanks for sharing. Welcome back to the lovely British winter...
Really nice video, I went there last year ❤
Hi, my husband and I are heading off to Cambodia and Vietnam soon so some of your videos have been very useful. I can't find a Wat Prakan in Bangkok, is it spelled differently? Thank you.
Hi - glad you have got something useful from them! It is Wat Paknum Phasi Charoen, just NE of Thon Buri district in Bangkok apologies if misspelt.
I'm really liking the idea of going there, especially when they're not packed with other tourists. You mentioned it was Constitution Day that weekend, so this was filmed around December 10, 2023, right?
Yes, we were there around the 7th to the 9th.
You were unlucky with the timings of the tide, the beach stretches all the way to the temple you visited, but the north side (opposite side) you accessed it from. The beach would normally be about 200/250 yards from sea to the sea walls. There are other bar areas as well, Soi 80 and then Soi 94 which has some nice bars and restaurants on the soi’s off it. There’s a night market 7 nights a week that runs off the main road on Soi 72. Also two “touristy” markets at the weekend in Khao Takiab at the southern end of Hua Hin. You also have Baan Kuhn Por which is a huge nightly food court on Soi 88, near the new train station which is well worth a visit. Re the yellow shirts for Father’s Day, it was the anniversary of the previous Kings passing and his favourite colour was Yellow hence the shirts. Traditionally a lot of Thai’s wear the colour yellow on Mondays in respect to him. I’ve lived in Hua Hin for over two years and visiting since 2010, love the place. If you visit again and travel by train you’ll arrive at the new station which is about 100/150 yards from the old one and should take 3 to 3.30 hours with a time of 3 hours eventually. Nice video and good luck for the future with the channel 👍🏻
Thanks - I'm sure we'll be back at some point - such a great country!
Very nice couple made for each other amazing 💯✅
What was the resort name and how much a night? I live not far from there but will likely arrive by train and figure out a way down to the coast. Have been meaning to visit there for years and quiet is what I want.
Resort is Kuiburi Resort and hotel. £27 a night (there were bungalows but cost more).
@@RossiesGoRoaming There is another along there somewhere for 800 a night. Willing to do about anything to have a quiet beach.
@@destinationsunknowntheroadsles It was quiet all the way along, just a few locals having a drink both in the restaurant and on the beach. Perfect.
Awesome place amazing place
Your both very good and nice
Please reply me some good words if you want
Very nice place
Just found your travel channel by chance and have Subscribed. Curious as to the park prices for Thais at this national park. Did not see it listed. When starting your hike there is a village below in the bay. Is that part of the national park? What day of the week were you there and were there many foreigners? Does Sam Loy Yot have a town itself with resorts?
Hi! Thanks for subscribing. Entry to the park as with most National Parks is free for Thais. The village at the bottom is outside of the park. I didn't notice any hotels or resorts, we were staying at the Kuiburi Resort about 30 mins S on the coast (we were the only guests in the whole hotel!). It was a Thursday that we visited 🙂
@@RossiesGoRoaming There is often a fee for Thais also often hidden in Thai numbers. One of the few things I can read in Thai. Hit and miss myself be able to enter with a Thai I.D card. More often than not I often refuse to pay more having Thai family here. But in this case if there are very few people there I might be willing. In my experience the extra fee was not worth it. My hunch is the village below as somewhere to stay. How much was the resort in Kui Buri?
I went to Hua Hin and cha am last April. It's really nice and chilled compared to pattaya. I liked it .
