In today's video, we're gonna head over to the island of Koh Larn off the coast
of Pattaya Beach and i'm gonna meet up with some other YouTubers, so let's go!
What is going on YouYube! Greetings from my condo here in Pattaya Beach
i've got a special treat for you today actually i got two special treats for you the first is
we're headed over to the island of Koh Larn i haven't been there in god at least a decade
and if i remember correctly there are some monkeys on the island and beautiful pristine
beaches and i'm sure they're even more pristine now because of you know covet
and no one being able to go over to the island they've cleaned it up i'm sure
um the second is we've got some surprise guest stars that are meeting me over there on Koh Larn.
All right let's go get a taxi and head over to the ferry to head over to Koh Larn.
So in order to get over to Koh Larn you've got to jump on some kind of boat from Bali Hie Pier in
Pattaya Beach so there are a bunch of low-cost options for getting over to the pier i'm going
to show you two of those this is grab and bolt they're kind of like the uber and lyft of Thailand
bolt is generally cheaper but you have to pay in cash where grab is like uber you just pay with
the app let me open up the options here you can see for as little as a dollar ten you can take
a motorbike taxi i decided on a car and got it for under two bucks but it looks like we're at
the pier so let me jump out of here and go try to figure out how to get over to this island
hey so i'm here with some uh patio youtube royalty retired life problems we got the star
of retired life problems fa and her latest piece of arm candy james casino over here
hey if y'all haven't checked out james's channel make sure you check it out he's a retired military
guy like me hanging out here in Pattaya Beach he travels all over the world though not just patio
so make sure you go over to his channel and hit that subscribe button he invited me this morning
to go out to Koh Larn with them what do you guys like about going to uh Koh Larn is like the best
most easy accessible option to get a good clean beach go swimming have some good food and on the
down low don't tell anybody occasionally you can get a beverage even though that's not allowed
what do you like about it what what's your favorite thing about collards the beaches the
shopping all the food is it's the food it's the food you watch his channel you know it's the food
there are a couple different ways to get over to the island you can take a speed boat for
about 300 baht or about 10 12 us dollars or you can pay 30 baht which is under a dollar
and you can take the normal ferry that's what we decided to do
the best way to get around the island is a moped
mopeds are only 200 baht for 24 hours that's a little bit over six dollars and it includes a full
tank of gas crazy before anybody jumps on me yes we are not wearing helmets however we did not
go over 20 kilometers per hour which is like 12 miles per hour i can go faster than that
on a normal pedal bike normally i would wear a helmet but because we were
only going a short distance and we were going pretty slow i was okay not wearing a helmet
so one thing i'm not used to is driving on the opposite side of
the road it's been a long time since i've done that a long time
take a walk along the street if i'm feeling dessert all of this convenience just doesn't
work for me i wanna play with fire let me get hurt can we take it back
all right so james casino from retired life problems and fah they did not disappoint this
is tien beech look at that water man look at that crystal clear blue water it's like gorgeous and
then you have the mountains here in the background that's where the monkeys are i don't know if we'll
see any monkeys but there are monkeys up in those mountains up there so we don't see them
this time it will come back but like the water i can't even describe how clear this water is
it looks like you got some retired life problems going on yeah man yeah i think i could get used
to this retired life problem living man i mean it's some problems like there's some problems
to deal with like you know trying to stay out of the sun not getting sunburned you know not getting
sand between your toes i mean they're complex problems but i mean it's something you can
deal with no one should be subjected to this man it's really more work than this
yeah yeah you don't want to come here don't do it no definitely don't want to come here this is
too many problems too many rel retired life problems up here all right so james and pha
are telling you there are abandoned hotels down here that are pretty cool to go look at so
we're gonna walk down the beach and uh check out these uh abandoned hotels here real quick
earlier i talked about james casino's youtube channel and a lot of you a lot of my subscribers
are really into pets and there are a lot of stray dogs in Thailand i mean a ton because they just
don't have the financial means to go around and spayed and neuter them so they're everywhere and
one of the things james does on his channel is he goes out and feeds the dogs we joke around about
like being retired and like living the good life but james is out there doing some good
well it used to be a restaurant and i don't know if it's covered that caused it to shut
down but obviously actually it looks like it's been shut down longer than that it's pretty
it's in pretty rough shape yeah i guess that back in the day that uh old boat used to be a
restaurant you come here and eat sit here in this like beautiful little cove here and enjoy the view
but uh not anymore you kind of can have this area all to yourself there's a little swing here too
so one thing i'm a huge proponent of when you're out on a beach
is picking up any plastic bottles i mean lord knows i've used a lot of plastic in my life so
you know i've caused a lot of this and i think it's just the right thing to do
i'm not trying to get any special attention or have people say oh look how great kevin is for
picking up bottles i don't think it's great at all i think it's like a normal thing you should do as
a human so all the hate i'll get for you know asking people to do this if one person does it
then it's worth taking the time in the video to do this so i'm gonna pick up as many as i see
there's actually not too many out here which is awesome but i think it's time that we uh go get
some food here we just ordered some food it'll be coming soon uh we both ordered pad krapow
i order papaya salad hopefully it doesn't burn my face off and what if i ordered
so fried rice and what squid okay so she got the squid and the fried rice so she's
going straight high style where we're going like what we can get at an american thai restaurant
papaya salad and packer powder
i thought you would have more food she's got more coming that's not all that's not all her food
i've got the papaya salad there and supposedly i asked for not very hot but i think pha towed
them like thai spicy so this might burn my face on i think this entire meal here was
about three dollars maybe four dollars all right so here's the moment of truth
so papaya salad in thailand can burn your face off in the united states it's pretty tame
a lot of people think it's hot in the us but in thailand it can legitimately burn your face
oh yeah it's got it's got some kick but i can handle it it ain't it ain't mexican salsa spicy
now you can get it a million times more spicy than this like they took it easy on me you'll see here
you see here this is a thai chili
i can't read hers because she eats seafood so let me try yours you wanna try it one try papaya salad
all right let's see what james says i've got
pretty high tolerance for heat and i don't think it's that bad
it's just the smell it smells terrible tastes good it smells terrible so this right here is a pad
krapow and i got the chicken version uh james i'm about to i'm about to cough because of the spice
james got the uh pork version so there's there's a couple different versions you
can get the common ones are chicken and pork most people get pork but i like the chicken
so we'll see if this is spicy i don't think it is i don't see any chili in it
yeah it's not too bad this is really good like this is really
really really good this is what i love about thailand for under five bucks you can have
big giant thai coconut papaya salad and uh you know a main dish like pad kapow
cannot beat it cannot beat it anywhere in the world with this million dollar view can't beat
it retire life problems i gotta hang out with james moore because i'm really digging all
these retired life problems 200 bucks buddies 200 total yeah for the meal oh that's awesome
very cool so fresh squid fried rice 200 baht can't beat it all right so unfortunately
you have to be off the island by 5 00 pm that's the last ferry unless you want to
say that i guess you could stay the night oh we didn't plan on doing that so we're not staying
tonight so unfortunately we're not going to get to see a beautiful sunset out here but uh
it's been cool man this is awesome i'm definitely going to come back here drive take you guys all
around the whole island we'll go see some monkeys didn't see any this time but we'll definitely go
and seek them out next time because i know people love seeing some monkeys so if you enjoyed this
