SCAMMED in PARADISE!! || Thailand’s Koh Samet Island

SCAMMED in PARADISE!! || Thailand’s Koh Samet Island

Oh my god. [Music] Greetings, my friend. I am Sir William and this is Little Baby Vamp Scramp. We are on our way from Bangkok to Rayong where we’re going to take a ferry to a magical island called Gossamet. And there we’re going to proceed to Chillax to the max. But we’re currently stuck in traffic. So we have a great room booking this time to the sea view. So even it raining because here in Thailand it’s raining season. Even it’s raining we can just stay in and then have the nice view of the raining on the beach. Yeah, we paid extra for a nice room. So hopefully we’ll have a good view. This is our vacation. We we work in Bangkok and so we work hard, pray hard and we feels like recently we need a short break every month or other months before the big trip. But we’ll see what we’re going to make the big trip to this year. So we’re going to the beach to chill and decompress from Bangkok city life. [Music] Uh, if Joy if Joy is speed boy, it’s going to be 12:30. But if we just do it by oursel, it’s going to be now. We can go now. What’s the price difference? Um, so if Joy is going to be 800 per person, but for round trip. Okay. This one? Yeah. Yeah. We’re not going to pay 5,000. No. Yeah. Open an [Music] [Applause] [Music] air. [Music] Seems like [ __ ] to me. I pay taxes in Thailand. I know. That’s why. But they said like even the the pink um I will check with this go check with the go. Okay. [Music] It’s extremely hot. Yeah. These kind of trips are not designed for comfort at all. until we get to the hotel. At least we got pretty nice hotel. Yeah. But on the journey, uh we we paid a lot for a private car for the drive from Bangkok, but on the speedboat, they pack as many people as possible. Well, this is on this bot bus, they pack as many people as possible. I want to talk about this. We can cut later. So I mean for the price that we pay for the plywood driver from Bangkok to uh Rayong right to the pier we pay 2,000 B for one trip and we got to pay for the speed boat 800 but per person for the round trip but actually this is this is what you should be careful because there’s several range of place I see 800 per person for five to eight people in the boat. Well, this is something that you wouldn’t know until you get into the boat because I see in the last column if you do 12 to 15 people in the boat, you got you should you you should just pay 500 but for round trip. Yeah, that’s what that guy was saying that they were overcharging. Right. Right. Because if they have five people or eight people, it’s okay to pay 800. It seems like we got into the boat that we supposed to pay just 500 B on the speed boat. But again, you wouldn’t know until you get into the boat. I I I want to say this out as a Thai person that Yeah. And also we get into this place, he has to pay 200 B for the entry since he’s a foreigner. But actually, he got a work permit and he paid the tax in Thailand. So it didn’t work like this in other places that we went before even went to the south. Um anyway like I think I I’ll do more research about this and maybe it can include in the video. Is it just a scam or something that um it’s really hard to pay? Yeah. Like I I pay taxes in Thailand cuz I work here, but they’re still charging me foreigner price, which I don’t think should be [Music] All right, we have arrived. This is our room. We got the balcony C view room. I go open it. Open it. Open it. Tada. Nice. So nice. Oh, this is a bar that popa. The wing bar is here. That’s why the music will be loud at night. All right, we have arrived in our glorious room. Scrampy’s hungry. We’re going to feed the Scram. Then we’re going to get out on the beach and relax to the max. You remember one day I I told you that I get fat and you said that no, you you looks beautiful. Remember? Yeah. You know what I You remember what I answer you? Yeah. I told him that he keep feeding me and I’m getting fat. And he said that no, you’re beautiful. And I said I said I’m fat. I didn’t say I’m ugly. I’m sorry you have to deal with this. All right, we have freshened up and changed. It’s time for lunch. [Music] Heat. Heat. N. [Music] [Music] We have arrived out here at beautiful Saikow Beach in Kosa. Met. So begins our 4-day holiday and a long weekend here in Thailand. But first got to get some lunch. So me and little baby Vamp Scram are going to eat and we’re going to come back out here on the beach, chillax to the max. [Music] We should have together. [Music] Five minutes later. Got some squid and rice and vegetables, chicken and cashew nuts, and some shrimps. Scrampy shrimp. [Music] 930 bot for those four dishes and three drinks. about 30 bucks US. [Music] It’s not comfortable. Okay. Yeah. Try to move up so your head is higher. [Music] It is quite breezy today. It’s nice. Makes it not so hot. You’re still burning away. [Music] Okay, let’s relax and decompress. I’m telling you. I’m relaxing now. [Music] [Laughter] Say it with us. [Music] All right, we are chilling. I’m going to go swimming in the water. Let’s go in the water. [Music] I’m on a I’m [Music] [Music] All right. Now, we are going to the other side of the island to see the sunset. [Music] With the model bike, it’s cheaper, but I I I I’m not trusting myself driving it, too. So, maybe we plan for tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah. Not paying over a,000 bucks because if if I pay for that, I don’t want to just go for the sun sunset. I want to go around. Yeah. Okay. So, the price for a chartered bot bus is going to be way too expensive. At least it’s good to Yeah. Change of plans. We couldn’t really figure out the transportation cuz it’s going to be overpriced to take these bottom. Yeah, we don’t really do motorbikes. That’s too dangerous for me. Call me a [ __ ] if you want. A few moments later. [Music] You look beautiful. Thank you. Can I have this one? [Music] There are a lot more people out here on the beach in the afternoon. Yeah, probably cuz it’s not scorching hot sunlight. Even it’s not that hot today. It’s greasy, but it’s still hot. The burn. You can feel the burn. For now, we’re chilling in this great spot. But looks nicer at night with the light. It’s quite nice. This is um the restaurant name Wink Winks Beach Club. Winks Beach Club. It’s in front of the famous hotel Sa Beach Resort which always full booking. The most expensive resort on this beach. Yeah, I think. Yeah, but our our hotel is good too. It’s just right next to this place. Got some pad kimo seafood. It is delicious. And some squid. I’m getting bigger. Love it. I don’t see which Oh, maybe it’s I’m thinking which one. Yeah, you got upset. Started like a tasty cake. The next day, run. Go run, Scrampy, run. I feel too fat to run now. What is it? [Music] [Music] We had a nice morning stroll. Now we’re going to go for breakfast. See what the breakfast is all about here. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] Wow, I’m going to be sweating even more drinking coffee. It’s It’s still quite hot out here even though there’s a bit of a breeze. And it seems it seems the breakfast area is not big enough for all the amount of guests that they have here. You’re my you’re my little porridge panda. What is that? It’s you. You’re the porridge panda. Lil Scrampy the porridge panda. Like big light panda. Little Scrampy the porridge panda likes a big breakfast of porridge and eggs to save money. They want free breakfast. So you should eat brunch just to save money. [Music] We had a nice stroll on the beach this morning and then some brekie. I only had coffee cuz I normally don’t eat breakfast, but it’s quite overcast today. So we’re just chilling right now. I’m reading my books and philosophizing with myself and planning and all of that good stuff. So, it’s it’s nice to just chill. Like I said earlier, we came here for our own personal holiday. So, we want to just chill, which is what we’re doing right now. We also have a dinner reservation tonight at a nice place with some shows and some entertainments. Yeah, I like Kosmet more than Colon. It’s more chill. The beach is bigger, so things are more spread out and there’s more space in Colt Lawn. Everything is kind of compact together and on top of it each other, so it feels pretty cramped on Colon. All right, we’re going to do some Thai massage on the beach. Well, foot massage. Okay, let’s ask them which one’s stronger. I asked them already. I told him that you strong. Okay, who’s the strong one? This way. [Music] Oh, that was nice. Had some good foot massage out on the beach and now we’re going to go get some lunch. If you’re coming to Kosamett and you have the chance and the funds to have a room like this that’s ocean view right on the beach, this is the way. This is the way to go because it’s just you can chill on the patio with the ocean view. It’s right here so you don’t have to worry about taking stuff back and forth onto the beach and posting up and having a spot. Basically, your spot is already posted up. Your room is right here. So, this is the most convenient. Highly recommended. However, this is one of the only resorts on this beach that has rooms like this. So, this is Diamond Diamond Beach Resort. [Music] It’s for you. It suit you so well. You look that hot with tattoo it even more. Thank you. [Music] Oh my god. [Music] I got really burned today. Look at that. I didn’t think I was because it was overcast all day when we were getting massage and sitting out here. It was actually lightly drizzling all day, but I still got roasted. Well, you can see it there. The line from my glasses. [Music] Yeah, I got torched in the shade. I guess it was only half shady, but still. You lobster. You lost. You do lobster. You do lobster. You lobster. Lobster. Lobster. The steam lobster. [Music] If you can’t you don’t have permission here. [Music] I’m just so hungry. Scramby’s hungry. [Music] [Music] Little Scrappy’s hungry. [Music] Hey, [Music] hey, hey. [Music] Hey, hey, hey. [Music] [Music] [Music] She’s completely sober right now. Cut, cut, cut, cut. [Music] The next morning. [Music] [Music] Good morning. Beautiful morning here in Kosamett. I need coffee. [Music] Yeah, I I want to start doing this more often and just coming for long weekends to the islands cuz a lot of time I just spend weeks and weeks and weeks in Bangkok. Really get to see too much of my day-to-day Bangkok life. Do you want to see that? Please tell me in the comments below. Do you want to see more of my day-to-day life in Bangkok? Because my company is now calling us back into the office two days a week. And so I am no longer I am no longer a full digital nomad. I’m a hybrid digital nomad. [Music] This is amazing. We’re chilling in here in the air conditioning with our beautiful view. I’m letting my sunscreen absorb to protect my tattoos and momentarily I will go swimming in the ocean. It’s really interesting. There are so few people out here compared to yesterday. Seems a lot of people don’t like the full sun. It is pretty strong, but I like it for swimming in the ocean for sure. So, I’m about to go for an ocean swim. [Music] [Music] [Music] ah ah [Music] ah a h ah [Music] So, it’s our last sunset for this trip in Koset. How did you enjoy the trip, baby? I love it. I want to come back soon. Yes, it was fantastic. I I don’t know if we changed the hotel where we staying. We gonna enjoy like this because the wheel that we got is so nice. You see? [Music] Yeah. Was a great trip. Beautiful. There’s a good amount of people here, but the beach seems really big and wide and long, so it’s plenty of room for everybody. The quality of the tourists here are well good. I don’t want to compare to other places. Um it’s different. But yeah, here is pretty good. People quite uh be conscious about their surroundings and not try not to disturb other people so much. Yeah, it was good. Had a lot of good food. The food seems to be good on this island. Highlight for me was today getting a massage. The best massage that I’ve gotten in a year probably. I gave her 700 bot tip for 4 hours of massage because it was incredible. Yeah. I gave her a thousand bot at the end. I know. Yeah. She was really quiet, but she was amazing. Tonight we are going to one of her friends restaurants. So, we will film it.
