Great vid, island looks amazing ! Appreciate the recs as well !

Loved Koh Phagan. Miss it soo much <3
You forgot about Mama Market Srithanu, that's one of the best value for money you can get in that area of Koh Phangan, for dinner. Cheers!
Thank you 😊
Koh Phangah or Siargao ❓❓❓❓
Hey how is it like in April end
I am planning with my girlfriend for a month
Will it be too hot?
Beautiful 😍
1500 for that .. Hum.. not for me.. But its the perfect destination for junky, lot of them there, with full moon parties, , lazy beach life and easy drugs every corners ..
I will be there next week ! Hopefully we can meet and grab a drink ! 👍🏽👍🏽
Ah, paradise on $1500 a month? At this rate, my next vacation will be a staycation in my living room—with a price tag of $1500 in pizza delivery!
Hi! Im considering travelling to Koh Phangan in July, is this a bad idea if I'm looking to get good weather conditions? I know that Jan/feb are the most sunny months, but I read different lines about the weather all over the internet. I was in Koh Phangan in December last year and it was nice. Cloudy a few days, bt mostly sunny. How is July compared to December?
Thank you for another good video! Its nice to save money on our vacations 😀🤩
It’s all very beautiful and you make me want to come one day to this island. But, you present 1500$ monthly budget as affordable, while it’s very relative actually. My monthly budget in Paris (one of the most expensive cities in the world) is 1200€. I live very modestly, but I manage to live here with this money. And it’s weird for me to see that somewhere in Thailand it’s more expensive then in Paris.
How many cc are usually the scooters that you can rent in Thailand? I'm wondering if the license for 50cc is enough to get you something, or if 125cc is the minimum.
Hey joose I hope you will do a video on Seminyak the way you explain things is really great you don't miss anything Wish you the best 🙏
To many Israels… Sad. Free Palestine.
$1,500 for a basic apartment?!?
Very nice video and content as always. Thank you 🙏🏻
Hey Joose! Thanks for the tips and advice, enjoying your videos!
I was wondering if you could help me decided. My fiancée and I are looking to take a workation next year end of April / start of May, and we’re not sure where to go. We love the look and chill atmosphere of Koh Phangan but Canggu seems more affordable and developed for work. It’ll be our first time taking workation and working from abroad. We want to relax and have chill mornings work from late afternoon and then enjoy the evenings/night after work at bars and restaurants. Which do you recommend? We need good internet to work as per European time. We’d be there for three-four weeks. Thanks!!
