Thailand’s PARADISE?! Would you stay here?
hi my name is josie and welcome to Koh Samui yesterday we made the trip from chiang mai to Koh samui we got to grab to the airport where we checked in our bags and our luggage we then got a free coffee from the bangkok lounge that i almost dropped absolutely everywhere we got on the plane from chiang mai to bangkok and it was a little bit louder than usual we then waited about an hour at the bangkok airport for our flight to Koh sumui so we're at bangkok airport now and we're just on uh lining up for our plane to samui but we're just wondering whether we had to pick up our bag from baggage claim and then like put it on the next plane but apparently just go straight through and meets us there so we had to get a little bus to our tiny little plane i don't know if i've been in a plane this morning and with a little bit more turbulence than i'm used to we landed in Koh samui airport very windy out here i can't see where i'm going okay from there we got a little bus which took us to where we picked up our bags this airport is so cute well it's like outside this is cool our bat i think our bags made it all the way we didn't have to get them or anything whoa it's looking outside where's our bags is that here it comes on this carrot there's like a carousel here for the bags but it's like outside and then we have to pay 700 baht for a taxi to our villa since there were no grabs around here today is going to be so much fun i'm so excited for my first real full day on Koh Samui island i love the beach i love this i'm so excited in a little bit i'm going to give you a tour of our villa and what we have around we are straight on the beach as well so we're probably going to explore the beach also and then we're going to go to a really cool cafe restaurant for lunch called the mud it's just up the road it looks like a really nice spot for a coffee and an instagram photo so we're gonna get that that's for sure and then we're gonna do a little bit more exploring on this side of the island we're on the quiet side i believe we're on the west side so a little bit more of the quiet side whereas most tourists would stay near the airport on i think the east side so stick around with us make sure you watch and we are going to show you our travels and our adventures on our first day on Koh samui island okay so we are gonna come back and give you a tour of our villa down there and everything around it and everything like that but we're gonna go and get lunch now at the mud it's just up the road and it looks so cute has cute photos online so we're gonna go there so make sure you stick around and watch the tour because that's the beach right there and it's worth it trust me let's go to mud so we walked literally about a minute up the road and we're here now it is really big so i think that it is really big there's like this half and then the other half over that way as well and the beach is it's gonna go dark on me the beach is literally just there so let's see if we can find a seat and this is a really good place for photos i've seen like there's little huts and stuff and swings and things swings and things so let's see what the food is like and this is so pretty the beach is literally right there it's accommodation as well yeah you can stay in these little huts there's huts down down there as well um they've got like a really cool like like bambooy type roofs and they look really cute they're all like individual little huts as well here so i like it ah sorry can i get the chicken and some chilia oh yeah no no spice my uh sweet chili sweet chili's okay why uh yellow and red is okay it's a spicy it's weird sweet it's okay this is really cool we're sitting outside it's a little bit hot right now so i am sweating a little bit but it's nice to be outside and it hasn't rained yet which is good but it probably will oh thank you oh beautiful thank you it's got like a flower on it that one's so cute okay so i got the chicken cashew nut which looks absolutely delicious you have the chicken obviously it's fried chicken not um like grilled chicken sometimes you get either or it's got a couple of vegetables in there it looks like capsicum some like green stuff some onions and you've got obviously the cashews in there as well with a beautiful little pot of rice which looks so cute michael got some fried chicken so it's come in like quite a small portion but it looks really nice it's a little bit fried and then he also has his pad kapow with some chili in there a fried egg some steamed rice honestly all the food looks absolutely delicious and i can't wait to eat this we have shared plates so we can dig in i'm excited all right so we moved inside because it was like really hot in the sun i'm still sweating but i'm going to try this chicken cashew nut there's a fan on me so if you can hear that that's what that is it is it's like a sweet chili sauce really nice i like a little bit of vegetables and like carrots on top in there as well so michael's going to give me a bit of his pad krapow that he's taken the chili's off for me added a little bit of white part of the egg a lot of fried egg and some rice as well so let's try it oh that's so good it's so great oh it's a little bit spicy um yes it is this is spicy that's a good pad kapow that's delicious this is nice there was like on the menu a mix of like thai food and also there was like pizza do you see a burger there's like burgers there's a little bit of western food on there as well it's a little bit more expensive than like where we were in chiang mai but we're on the island so that's going to happen and obviously this is like a really nice restaurant with an amazing view of the beach and everything like that so pretty stupid pretty still still pretty good chickens there's chickens down there it's so pretty here there's like nets and like seats like cool seats and like let's go have a look oh i love that oh this is so pretty i love the islands let's go let's go have a look it's like a thing here that says like playground to rope tunnel and farm i think the farm is where the chickens were downstairs okay so there's like a beautiful net and seating back there and you know you've got oh it's just so beautiful up here you've got seating everywhere you've got nets you've got downstairs there's like the farm or whatever and then down these stairs here that i'm walking right now we're gonna go down and see the animals there's like animals down there it's like ostriches and like chickens and stuff so this is a bit of a steep staircase to be honest chickens over there there's ostriches let's have a look there's one outside oh a little baby chicken i'm going to put them inside yeah they're all outside oh they're outside let's look hi little cheekies let me help where the little one go look at them what i almost walked the size of your head oh my god into that that's good how do i get out now this way it's so big that was a big spider i like walked straight through i didn't even think about it it was like this far away from my head where they were okay that's weird they were just here they're not here michael have you made it up i just saw them there's like literally nothing here oh my god they're running at me oh they're running i'm sorry i did i'm sorry sir i'm sorry sir sorry sorry i didn't mean to intrude this is a really steep staircase all right now that i'm scarred for life about almost hitting that spider i think we should go home and give them a tour what do you reckon sounds good let's go to our villa now where there's hopefully no spiders all right we're heading back to the villa now it's literally probably a 30 second walk down the road but before we get there before i get give

so that'd be really helpful thank you so much let's get into this tour of this villa it is beautiful you're gonna love it let's go do hello okay so this is such a cool villa we found this pretty much at the last second and i'm really glad that we did we're on the sort of west side of the island i think i said this a little bit earlier so it's more of the quiet side we're not sort of where most of the tourists would stay or it's sort of more busy over there we're on the other side of the island so yeah so i can't wait to show you sort of what we can see from inside the villa but i'll show you that in a second first we're going to go through the inside you walk in from these big blind foldy doors into your lounge room now it is quite small but i think i love it i think it's cozy i think it's minimal i think it's aesthetically beautiful you have a coffee table right in front of these doors so you can sit on this lounge have a coffee or put your feet up and have a look straight through the doors to the ocean literally or your private pool right in front of you so pretty cool if you ask me there's pillows the couch is pretty comfy you have a big mirror behind you so you can check your feet or do your hair or whatever you like there and there's one in front of this dresser so there's a dresser over here so then right behind the couch you have the bed and i will say i think it's the comfiest bed i've ever slept in in thailand i know it's soft i love soft beds the pillows are comfy i love this bed let's go see did you see that yeah guys it's so soft it's literally like sleeping on a cloud it was so nice last night i didn't want to get up i slept in it was amazing the other really good thing about this villa is the aircon the aircon works so well or ac whatever you want to call it it's so cold in here and we woke up this morning and had the blind doors open all the way and it kind of warmed up while they were open as soon as we closed them we got cold again within like a minute or so so it works so well you got power points everywhere so i will say as well it's pretty well set up for if you work online or if you do some work on your laptop with the desk with the powerpoint with a lounge with the powerpoint it's pretty good i will say the internet isn't that great um but i guess it's good enough depends on what you're doing a bit slow here though let's go to the bathroom i love it in here walking in you have the like uh where you put like snacks and coffee and tea and a kettle with like a bar fridge they've got a basket a basket a basket they've got a basket they've got a basket here and it says free on it and we love free um and you can have any of this you can have any of the soft drinks the water just not the alcohol the alcohol costs extra that's to be expected but this is a cool little place because i can like make my coffee or tea and the ocean's still right there but coming this way because you've got sort of like this like mud room here it's got like a big thing where you can put i'm not sure maybe your bags we put ours at the top they've also given us so much stuff like obviously not to keep but to have you've got robes here that are just feel so nice you've got some thongs down there so if you want to stuffed up to the beach or flip-flops or flip-flops we don't even call it flip-flops well americans on the channel they like they give you thongs thongs aren't they're for your feet okay i thought that's what they are we're australian up here they have like hats so you could like use like a sun hat this is michael's one there's a boy one there's also a girl one that i've left outside because i took it out while i was on the pool this morning but they've given you some hats to wear as well it's got this big like concrete slab of a vanity with a massive sink it looks so nice to me i love this look you've got some little like hand gel a couple of like toothpaste kits in case you forget things got obviously your toilet but this is your shower and i love showers like this it's like a rainfall head it looks so nice there's a skylight at the top so you've got like lots of natural light in there as well and as always you have like some shower gel some shampoo and conditioner there for you as well i think this is beautiful i love this room i love this villa i need to take you outside let's go this is amazing we're not on the one that has a beach front we're on the one sort of i think a second one up but you can still see the beach literally straight in front of us and our pool as well so this is our view when we wake up in the morning and it is absolutely amazing the blindfold doors open all the way the curtains pull all the way back and this opens straight out onto your deck onto your pool and literally pretty much onto the beach so let's go outside i'll show you so out here you have sort of like a step i guess you can take your shoes off you have a ladder to hang your towels we've already like gone swimming and things a few times so we've got our towels hanging up there to dry and you also have this really cool seat for you to sit on it's in the sun it is a bit hot but you can sit in front of your pool dry off it's nice to be able to sit outside as well and look they gave me this they give you like a sarong to put on here and there's my hat okay so right here literally is the pool pretty small it's all you need it's a it's pretty deep it goes up to about my neck on me and i'm about five five so it's pretty deep it's quite refreshing it's not warm it's not cold it's kind of that in between so you're refreshed but also it's not freezing so you actually want to still get in i will say that there's someone pretty much ex like next door that's the only sort of i guess downside i don't think anyone's in there for us right now maybe they are they're just really quiet but you basically like they're walking past our like front to get to their villa so that's the only sort of i guess downside you don't want to be walking around all three if you know what i'm saying you can walk down these steps to the beach in 10 seconds and then again you can also walk up the beach so while we don't have a beach front it's literally a stone's throw like a i can almost reach it that's how close it is this is what i'm trying to say actually i might take you down to have a quick peek what do you say let's go okay so we're gonna go for a little walk together i hope you like that little tour um let me know in the comments if like what you like about it what you don't like about it but that was our house there and we're going to walk down these steps and we're going to go to the beach i'm going to show you where we have breakfast breakfast was included um so that was a really good thing that it was included because it was a little bit of an expensive villa was about 140 australian dollars a night which if you're from australia that's very very cheap for something like this but it's a little bit more on the expensive side for thailand if you come down here this is the shared pool so you have a pool anyway if you want to come and use this one and the beach is literally right there so i don't know how you can go wrong with that that is literally amazing this is where we had breakfast so again overlooking the beach it's right there you have a view of this all morning and you can sit over here if you want to as well there's a little seating area next to the shared pool too so if you want to come sit down here you can do that as well so on the topic of money this isn't a collaboration we definitely paid to be here but i just thought you'd like to maybe see where we're staying on this side of the island and i really recommend it the service has been amazing we asked for a bike um yesterday and we woke up this morning and we decided not to take it just because we wanted to sort of hang around today and relax and make this for you and we changed our mind and they were like completely cool with that and they're going to bring it back tomorrow so i have a really good experience here there's a few street dogs or beach dogs around here and one's coming over to me i hope they're friendly he was hanging around last when he had breakfast this morning so um he's coming towards me and he's wagging his tail hi hi hey beautiful i didn't have any food sorry oh hi there's another one here oh you're so beautiful hey beautiful boy oh girl hey beautiful boy or girl i love dog skies and i've been waiting to be able to pat a street dog or a soy dog or a beach dog for so long oh i haven't found one nearly as friendly as you no you're so beautiful you're so happy say hi hi hi that's good stuff nice to meet you look at this i cannot believe this is real this is absolutely incredible there's islands in the distance back there i love it here so the sun was sort of setting outside and it looked absolutely beautiful but we are off to dinner we have a place down the road that looks really pretty and looks like a good vibe i think it's called beach 59 or something like that so we're just getting ready to go down there now and have some dinner i feel like some pad thai some might have some pad thai and let's go have some dinner let's walk down the road it's not that far away a minute or two maybe max so we came down here last night when we got in really late from bangkok and from chiang mai it's called beach 59 samui it's right on the beach but the tide's a little bit further out right now and it's got a really cool vibe there's fairy lights i love fairy lights they've got these bean bags on this on the floor that we're sitting on with like a table in front of us as well okay so i got the chicken pad thai which looks absolutely delicious if you ask me we also got some chips and then we got some spring rolls that's a really good pad thai it's actually probably the best pad i've had i think okay we are back from dinner today was really cool it was our first day on the island of Koh samui and we kind of just relaxed today but we have some more adventures coming up for you for the next few days a few videos few weeks whichever you know what i'm talking about but make sure you like and subscribe and i'll see you in our adventure tomorrow good night bye oh pad thai was so good
