what you can get up to um of course we're staying on the island but there is uh I'm going to watch out for motorbikes very narrow pathway yeah very narrow roads on here a lot of motorbikes too so um yeah so there is fairies that run it's like every hour in the morning and then it looks like every 2 hours it's too hard to tell what the timing is but just go to the pier and you just pay before you get on the boat super easy to do so you can do the the normal Ferry which is 30 bot per trip so one way or you can do a speedboat which is about 10 minutes or 15 minutes faster and it's 300 bot round trip so depending on how fast you want to get to the island and what your budget is of course um you can rent these scooters like these ones here most places are about 300 B so if you did want just cruise around on your own you can do that option as well we're going to take a song tow over to the beach today so you guys can see what that's like but yeah first things first uh we got to find some coffee there's a coffee shop right here yeah much needed just Hoke up yeah it's uh it's crazy how quiet it is here in the morning and at night when everybody does finish their day trip here and heads back to the mainland so yeah there's a cool little coffee shop right here we're going to check it out all right before I jump in here and see what I get get for a coffee Shane is in there check it out

in the travel man this place is really cool Koh Larn is like like very small Thailand you got like a a watt right here there's actually a night market there's people selling fruit right here so yeah super nice to be on the island check it out and yeah let's go get a coffee right now and then we have to head up this road here over to the other side of the island to get to the beach that we want to go to [Music] [Laughter] [Music] all right so that's better now that we've had a my coffee that coffee was delicious yeah it was and for the size and the quality and how good it was anywhere else in North America Europe other places even Bangkok uh you could easily pay like $6 you know so yeah and that one was 70 bot each so that was really good couple bucks yeah yeah really good value so I'm going to put the in the description below if you want to go to that place it's called vacation summerhouse is what it translated to time but yeah we're uh this is the road we got to go up so we're going to wait for a song tow that's going this way and we're going to jump on and get to the beach time to get to the beach yes exactly all right so we just noticed all the song tows are right here so I guess you just jump on there that makes it a little more convenient but yeah the uh Beach we're going to I'll give you the name of it so the beach is called semi Beach Samae Samae so yeah just ask where you're going where you want to go and they'll uh point you the right direction maybe that it's chaos here everybody the first boat has come in so there's all sorts of people I all right so we got on one now I was going to stand just to shoot some more for you guys but they're like no you got to sit down so first yeah you can't stand on these ones like you can and B you but yeah it's like I said the uh first fairy and speed boats have shown up so it is getting busy now so it's good to get there early especially if you're staying on the island but I just checked the time too it's 10: to 10 so it'll be interesting to see how long it takes to get there probably not very long but let you guys know yeah but yeah it's uh like I said uh get on the first fairy if you are just doing a day trip here that way you can for sure get a chair at the beach or whatever Beach you're going to there is restaurants as well and again we're going to show you all that today but this spend the whole day there so it'll be a good breakdown Bree guys so you know what to expect or like kind of pre-planned before you come as to uh how to navigate what's going on but yeah let's uh give you a little b-roll the the ride there o [Music] all right so yeah that was a quick little trip over 6 minutes so very close yeah and the price is 30 bot per person cheap yeah it is cheap but it is more expensive the Pattaya but still cheap it's like less than a dollar us to get a ride over yeah but um yeah this looks beautiful from what we see already and again getting here early there's a lot of chairs available it looks like so I'm going to turn the camera around so you can see what it's like walking into the beach here [Music] so there's all sorts of activities you can do here there's paddle boards kayaks there's floaties for kids and then yeah all the chairs up and down the beach so you can rent we're obviously going to get that so we'll let you know what the pricing is on the chairs and then yeah there's um different places you can get food I think they're set up yet but all the way down oh this is so beautiful the sand is so fine and white what do you think of the water the water is so turquoise this has like a major like Caribbean feel it's so beautiful this is Shay's first time to an actual like Thai Island and seeing the water like this when you go further south you get more of this as well like in the Andeman sea and then further down in the Gulf of Thailand but got some Costa Rica Vibes too going on so but yeah just it's crazy the difference in the beach here even compared to Pattaya yeah or bangsaen yeah every Beach we go to gets more and more beautiful yeah so yeah we're H we're going to hunt a chair down and again we're going to let you know the price on that as [Music] well this one and we can pull it out yeah okay as long as we can pull it out in the sun work on not as dark as you I need to get darker good for you good for you good for me yes all right so we have a chair right here right at the front 100 bought for the chair for the day really inexpensive so similar to Pattaya that's what it is there so it's nice to see they're not like gouging people on pricing like doing 300 or something like that set price all along the beach so yeah here's a little bit of uh cinematic b-roll for you at the beach [Music] he [Music] [Music] [Music] so yeah if you keep walking south from the beach you can get to these little Coves that you guys saw in the b-roll and this little Lookout here this would be the perfect spot for Sunset cu the sunset will set over there I'm really kicking myself for not bringing the cannon I only brought the GoPro for this video just cause it's going to be around the water in the sand and um I didn't know if Shane and I were both going to be going in the water I didn't want to leave the camera just sing there but uh yeah it's it's places like this where if now from now on I'm bringing it no matter what it's it's too good to pass up and only shoot on a GoPro but I hope you guys are getting what it looks like anyway um overall this beach is awesome again not far from Bangkok if you live in Bangkok and uh yeah day trip from Pattay it's amazing definitely better than Pattaya Beach it's just uh very tropical Vibe so I'm going to head back now get something cold to drink just chill get a little bit of sun on my white skin cause I've lost my tan since leaving Costa Rica so it's Shayna she got she got hers back a bit cause She's been in the pool but just being at the beach like we're definitely Beach people we know that now 100% after living in the city for a while yeah this is our Jam that's for sure [Applause] all right so I'm back here at the chairs Shay's been lounging here beautiful just relaxing Beach day for us today I'm loving it already yeah so nice not not a terrible place to spend the day that's for sure not at all you can see why people uh make the big six-minute track over here uh so yeah cheers to cheers to the beach day cheers to you guys watching and uh hopefully you guys make it over here to Koh Larn it's uh it's beautiful um I was saying too earlier we've uh We've really come to realization we are Beach people yeah yeah we like our city fix every once in a while limited time but in general yeah yeah we belong at the beach I like the mix I think of like a city on the beach nearby like some places in the world that have that right so I think that's the best mix where you can have your amenities in the city but you're in an area where you can just go right to the beach or uh you know have a nice little Boardwalk to walk along every single day that's by the water and stuff but yeah definitely uh Beach and water people for sure yeah check out our video of our first impressions of Koh Larn uh you'll see why like it it was very quiet last night but and we're just like we're we're people we're not scared of the sun we love the sun we love the vitamin D we like you know so yeah we're definitely meant to be in these kind of places exploring around and and uh yeah we we enjoy en filming everything but I kind of enjoy filming the beach type Vibes and Beach life and the nature and stuff more so more than the city for sure s us more yeah just to say too uh so small Chang here 60 bot really really good price the large one's 120 it's a better value to get two small ones instead of one large cause you get more beer and it doesn't get as warm so get the large ones halfway through the rest of your beers is warm so just go with the small I got a watermelon smoothie actually while Chris was out filming that was 70 B and a bottled of water I think was 10 or 20 but they're going to do up the bill at the end so we'll let you guys know but yeah for a tourist destination beautiful island in Thailand very affordable prices yeah exactly so you guys will see what our overall bill is at the end just for hanging out here on the on the island for the day so we're going to enjoy these while they're cold and uh yeah I'm going to jump in the water after as well and show you a little bit of that so I'm at the I guess North End of the beach and there's like yeah like a structure looks like a stingray no idea what it is but uh you can see here we got a couple dishes here but I wanted to tell you about the calamari so far every uh deep fried calamari or squid that I've had in Thailand has been super tender so I'm going to try [Music] this the same again always so tender really fresh good snack on the beach that's for sure [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right so it's about4 to 4: now and during the day we were just chilling I went in the water and swam a bit but the beach was packed there's like lots of tour groups that come in uh I saw a lot of people from China they had like tour groups going on but yeah the beach got really busy and uh now it's starting to clear out a bit because the last fair is at 6 or the speed boats I don't know what time they go if there's like set times for those as well or you can maybe pay to get picked up at a certain time but yeah uh quarter to 4 and this is what it's looking like right now we've just been chilling we've had a few Chang's uh we had those meals that you guys or saw the one anyway and yeah it's just been nice having a relaxing day at the beach again it's been a while since we've done this since Costa Rica living in Playa Samara uh but this is nice to be there and yeah this is a fun day trip just a chill day trip you can do from Pattaya um so yeah we're excited to bring bring this video to you and show you what it's like um yeah again like some people like oh get so busy blah blah blah it's well yeah that's what tourists want to do they want to come to beaches just like you it is going to get busy so come early that way you get a chair and again 100 bot such a good deal for a chair but the water's super nice too it's not uh not too cold it's like the right temperature it's not too warm and it's not a bunch of waves either so it's nice you can just kind of just chill in there uh there is snorkeling available I don't know the price on that I think it was 500 bought for the snorkel gear which I think you could use for the whole day I asked for a Price Less but the guy didn't understand what I was saying and then uh they they do have the kayaks and stuff he said those were 500 bought as well and then the jet skis were 1,250 bought so a little bit pricier than we expected for jet skis it's it's for 30 minutes that price so uh it still be fun to do though again the water's not choppy so you can let them let them loose pretty good but yeah we're going to hang out here till sunset show you guys what that's like and then yeah that's what this video is about is just showing you what to expect for the day if you do come here from Pattaya how much it's going to cost roughly I mean obviously if you don't drink you're going to not be buying beer but you're going to be buying smoothies which is similar price uh pop and all that stuff so or soda if you're from the states um but yeah we'll let you know at the end kind of our total cost for the day and our Full Experience here you sweet baby it's okay oh hey that's not [Music] nice it that's not very nice not very friendly to the tourist that's so Chihuahua like come such a Chihuahua I thought you were the Chihuahua Whisperer what happened there I have four usually I am but the Thai Chihuahuas don't like me you weren't speaking enough Thai to them that's why I think because we've been uh We've been on the island for a couple days and we haven't been with our Chihuahua so she doesn't smell our Chihuahua on us yeah that's probably it so she's like why are you trying to pet me like you don't have anything to offer I can't even smell other dogs on you you have no and you don't have food no beef pepperoni yeah no uh no pork nothing [Music] so it seems like um I mean obviously Covid hit a lot of countries really hard we lived in Costa Rica through it but it seems like this area for sure was hit hard these look like they were little places you could rent right here and they're just abandoned now like they're just deteriorating in Into the Wilderness now but they looked like they were really nice places at one point and same as that manta ray thing that you guys saw in the b-roll I don't know what that building was but yeah the roofs all caving in and stuff so yeah it's unfortunate I mean through the whole pandemic so much so many lives were changed and things changed uh for the worst unfortunately so it' be nice to see some some more rebound as far as that kind of stuff so yeah those would have been been nice right by the beach I'm going to give you guys a little helpful tip as well bring toilet paper yeah the white gold bring bring toilet paper bring something to sanitize your hands with the bathrooms at this beach are absolutely disgusting yeah they're I I'm not even going to go into detail but anyways um there's no toilet paper which that's to be expected in some Island areas Beach areas rural areas of Thailand that's fine but usually there's at least the the bum gun the sprayer to clean yourself after you go to the bathroom they don't have that in there those bathrooms don't have any water nothing and that's fine I'm not trying to be a complaining tourist I'm just saying be prepared yeah bring some toilet paper you can't wash your hands in there like I said there's no water I mean there's the ocean right there but you might want a sanitizer or some sort of like a wipe or something just because there's no soap right exactly yeah yeah not the greatest experience I'm as far as the bathrooms go I'm actually very surprised there are so many tourists coming here from all over the world there's so many restaurants and businesses and things going on here yeah you would think that they would have somebody keeping up with the bathrooms even if they wanted to do what they do in other areas of the country and just charge five bot for people to be able to go in and then they could have water you know they could buy toilet paper if they want to there's someone sitting at the front they'll like sell you like sheets of toilet paper just hire hire somebody like people people like us would pay five bot 10 bot 50 bot I don't care to be able to use a bathroom that has water uh to have some toilet paper to have some soap to wash your hands so I'm just surprised because it is so busy and you can tell they're thriving here you know they're not oh there's so many tourists and there's so many tourists coming right like but again we only went to down this way maybe down the other end of the beach there a different bathroom we don't know but based on our experience here this is what we experienced and we're not like I don't know we're we're not knocking anything it's just we've lived in Costa Rica for 7 years we've been in some pretty bad bathrooms as well but yeah we've been in Nicaragua and stuff like to not even have you know some water running water yeah at least but yeah it's okay it's okay I'm just I'm just saying be prepared bring toilet paper going to be grateful that I told you this toilet paper and wet wipes and some hand sanitizer and you'll be set just cause you are going to eat here too so you want to make sure your hands are clean and not everybody goes in the water and when you go in the salt water it's like sticky on your hands right so not everybody likes that so anyways you're there's our there's our tip for you on the bathroom yeah exactly white gold we have we have a video on that so it's just 5:00 now we're going to get a song tow back we're not going to stay for Sunset even though we're staying on the island we could get a moto taxi but we're just going to go now uh last song to is at 5:30 so that you get to the other side of the island in time to be able to walk to the ferry and get on the last Fair 15 minutes but there's some set up here yeah there's some set up so they they'll just be set here just waiting for everybody so that's another tip for you uh if you are taking the ferry back you're not staying on the island last one's at 5:30 that way you get there in time of course if you are renting ausemotorbike you can stay longer it's going to be easier but then again you're going to miss that ferry at 6:00 so uh yeah just be uh conscientious of the time especially if you're sitting and having some beers and stuff and it's beautiful here like it's so relaxing and nice and excellent service from everybody working but it's easy to lose track of the time you're on island time you're in vacation mode right so but there's a bit of a a clue too cuz all the restaurants and stuff they'll get you to pay and they going to shut down it's like as soon as the tourists get off the island everything just shuts down like no matter where you are so just that'll be kind of a hint that you know okay it's time to go but yeah we're going to get on one of these songtheaw now and head back to the town and then we'll uh we'll talk to you guys later about the total expense and stuff for our day trip here on the island [Music] all right so we are back in town a whopping 6 minutes ride man like actually might have been faster that guy was hitting the corners pretty fast we're holding on for your life I was like where's the F1 wing on this truck I'm trying to think okay so we spent 7 and 1 half hours yeah on the island we're very very relaxed yeah exactly so I'm going to I'm going to get Shayna out I'm going to pop up all the pricing that we spent today right here so you guys can see what it was total including Transportation if you are coming from Pattaya to get here and then to get back to Pattaya so really inexpensive day trip just to hang out on the island on a beautiful beach and uh was that one of your favorites so far as far as beaches go yeah in Thailand of course yeah yeah that's going to be interesting to see other ones as we travel further down south and just in other areas of the country of course but uh yeah so far very beautiful Shane is really relaxed so yeah almost too relaxed I'm like is it bedtime yet no we still have to eat dinner and it's it's only 5:30 and if you guys watched our previous video you know restaurant's closed early so we need to go for dinner soon yeah make sure you eat before 9:00 yeah on the island all right so we'll leave the video off here I hope this video helps you guys in planning your trip to Koh Larn if you are just doing a day trip as far as what the cost can be obviously any cost can be minimal or more expensive depending on what you end up doing this is what we spent today just hanging out at the beach relaxing in a nice chair having some drinks having some food and yeah just overall really good experience so if you guys did like this
