last time in delightful travelers we started our new life in Phuket we gave you a tour of
our home in the beautiful town of rawai where we're staying in this video things
take a turn for the worst we're not quite feeling ourselves but we won't
let that stop us from exploring the island I'm Anna and this is Trevor in this series
we're finally experiencing one of our bucket list dreams living in Thailand make sure to
hit subscribe and click the like button so you don't miss a single video a huge thanks
to our channel members and patrons for making these videos possible this is our Thailand life
well do you guys remember in the last video when we were all excited that we were starting our new
life here in Thailand well that night we went out to eat we went out to eat some dinner and
uh yeah we ended up getting sick and we got food poisoning we got food poisoning thankfully it's
not something that happens to us very often considering how often we travel the different
foods that we eat all the time but it happened it did it happened so um we haven't filmed now for a
little over a week that's that's long for us I know for you guys it probably doesn't nothing
seems to have changed hopefully so I'd say we're at about 50 maybe 60 capacity now we thought we'd
come out and mainly to try to distract ourselves and just like staying inside and not only are we
not feeling we haven't really done anything and it's been so disappointing because it's like our
first time in Phuket there's all these beautiful beaches and amazing Islands so much to do and you
have a huge list of things we want to do and well we've just lost a lot of time well let's see if
we can do it also this is the first time we've been away from a toilet like within like 10 feet
so wish us wish us luck hopefully as the day goes on we start to feel better and better but I will
say that this beach is already making us feel a lot better this is called the Illinois Beach
is our first time here it's really beautiful I know there's there's two sides look at this so
you have this side and a big giant rock behind you and then you have this side it still looks
great even when the sun's not in I know it's beautiful Clear Water did I just say it's our
first time here I can't remember I feel like the memory is not working very well yet but uh
yeah it's the hair are just insane and I'm sad that we really missed out on so much time but
we're gonna have to make up for it so if it's your first time to the channel welcome my name
is Trevor and that is Anna with the delightful Travelers hit subscribe to follow along on the
adventures if you're not new I see all you guys again so I'm sure you have lots of questions
like how did how did we get sick like where so believe it or not it was not at a Thai restaurant
it wasn't from street food or anything like that we eat lots of different kinds of food we actually
went to a western pizza place and we think it was from either the salad like the lettuce and the
salad may be unwashed or perhaps the ice of all places that's the last place we thought it would
happen but hey it comes with travel we're trying to cheer ourselves up we're getting better slowly
I mean look at this place though so for me picking up anything stomach related is honestly really
really scary for reasons that I've actually never talked about in video and it's not on purpose I've
not been like keeping this from you guys or not wanting to talk about it it's just never really
come up but I have a disease called Crohn's disease it's an autoimmune disease but I've
been really really good for about five or six years and that's really the reason I haven't
talked about it because it doesn't really affect my life that much not I'm in any medications I'm
actually in something called Deep remission which is apparently really rare according according to
my doctor so I've just never really talked about it but anytime I get something stomach related
like this it's like it puts in the back of my head what if I'm gonna get a flare up or like we you
know if things get really bad I wouldn't be able to travel and have this lifestyle and it's always
sort of in the back of my head against anybody with any sort of recurring illness knows what
that's like it's just always kind of there always kind of scary but things are starting to look up
let's talk about the setting of this beach first of all the color of the water is out of this world
and we're surrounded by these kind of small Cliffs and right in the middle of the beach is this
Rock cluster which is so so unique looking there's also coconut trees here we haven't seen those in a
while there's actually coconuts even on them so we came to the right Beach and here's the thing
this isn't even one of the popular beaches it's like not one of the touristic super touristic
features that you come to Phuket Thailand for this is great and this is really close to our
place another thing to mention a little update from our last video is the weather here huh yeah
and this is on a positive note so if you watched our last video we were kind of saying that we're
here in November where we arrived in November which is supposed to be the beginning of Five
Season the end the end of rainy season but the last few weeks have been really really really
rainy and unpredictable so we've had other than our gut stuff had a hard time planning anything
because it would just start randomly raining in the middle of the afternoon you couldn't plan
anything so remember we mentioned that there's Island tours to do around here that's still on
our list and now it's getting higher up the list because the weather has been more predictable yeah
so hopefully we've turned a corner and things are going to be better from here year on out we did
talk to somebody local that said that he's finding that each November it seems to be pushing farther
and farther in like rainy Seasons pushing brother brother that seems to be happening everywhere in
the world like last year that was happening in the Dr let us know if that's happening where
you guys are but either way we are just happy that the sun is shining this might be one of my
favorite little small beaches we've ever been on it's really not long but it's kind of perfect it's
so pretty yeah I love how it you already sort of described it but it's really really gorgeous the
watercolor especially you guys I mean look at that turquoise and then when you pair it against like
Cliff it's really time is really green it's not like a lot of palm trees it's not like Forest like
it's interesting yeah there are palm trees around but it is definitely you said Thailand this might
be a Phuket thing cool there are definitely it seems more jungly and more like like there's even
like a pine tree behind you it's really really interesting there's also some kayaks you can
rent here I think it's a hundred about 100 baht an hour yeah let's do that in a future video I'm not
prepared to go out on a kayak today I feel like I might just be asking for trouble yeah it's a
good price though it's about three US dollars to go out there I don't know for how long but
we might have to do an hour oh one hour yeah we can just go around the island or something
so we're just coming off the beach here and we found this cute little kind of
like coconut motorcycle what's called wagon thing is we shouldn't have coconuts that's
for sure she's back there making that guy one so we're just gonna see what else she has to
drink I don't think coconuts will go so good with our uh Disturbed bellies at the moment
we're gonna grab a ginger ale here because we think that's probably the best only one please
but look at all these uh coconuts too huh I'm honestly just glad we can get these here we tried
to find them the other day at the store and all we could find is like Coca-Cola so we're lucky giving
again our bellies are not so well and I won't be lying we might be trying to find the toilet
right now just trying to keep it very real for you guys today something we maybe didn't expect
to find here with so many I hate to say like Bali Vibes but that's really the best way to describe
it or the best way I can think to describe it he like really cute outdoor places nice
umbrellas always have smoothies and smoothie bowls that's like basically the ultimate Bali thing but
it's definitely coming into all the other islands and different countries around southeast Asia it's
also very jungly like look at this stuff yeah this is uh it's wild here so we thought there
might be a nice Viewpoint or some stuff up at the top of this crazy hill we didn't realize quite the
hill it is but halfway up is a really nice view of where we just were you can kind of see that point
there this is amazing looking so you can see way over there there's like a white structure that's
a nigh harm Beach Resort isn't it I think that's what it's called but around the bend is an iHeart
Beach was a really famous Beach yeah it was one of the less famous as we said it's not like one that
really people really talk about and no one talks about this hill either baby yeah we got a long
way to go up this hill we thought doing this would be a good way to get some exercise which it is but
after a few days well I should say a week or so of not feeling very good and doing absolutely
nothing it was hard now you guys are probably wondering why have we not rented a scooter we're
just not really scooter people are we yeah we so we've never really done it I know at some
point we just need to like do it get comfortable with it hopefully somewhere we're gonna have to
do it somewhere with no people around yeah get comfortable and then be able to do it on stuff
like this so this would be a perfect place to do it problem is we've traveled a lot and we've seen
so many people get in scooter accidents or just injure themselves so I'm not sure if you want
maybe that guy all right let's hoping they come give us a lift come back give us a lift [Music]
well I found a little look off point not too bad this is worth the very very difficult walk to get
up here beautiful view I think is that the island that we were looking at I think it is the island
so the beach we were at you can't see it must just be kind of tucked there but what's the name
of this place you know uh from Cape prom that could be I'm sure I'm totally pronouncing that
wrong I haven't quite figured out like the THS and everything how the words are pronounced properly
and Thai so there's this big giant Square here you can see this enormous tree in the background
I'm not sure if this is the square that we saw on the map or not also I think I think the king
and queen of Thailand are right over here in in picture form so I not only can I not pronounce
Thai I definitely can't read it either but I'm gonna assume that's a king and queen someone
can correct us if we're wrong wow take a look at this we just got to the top of the stairs and we
came across this Shrine and mainly it's elephants I've never seen so many elephants before but in
general it's so pretty there's so many different colors from gold to kind of bright orange oranges
really really unique and what a way to kind of end our big climb up to get to the top and see
this but I also see something right over there as well so a little farther up there's actually
Monument I think it's to something called Prince chump Fawn I'm probably saying that wrong I try
to look it up online honestly I spent about 20 minutes trying to find some shade and reading
about it online I think everything online kept taking me to another Monument that's
in a different area of Phuket I know I always laugh I think probably every travel vlogger
absolutely hates the comment getting we get them all the time saying you need to do more research
always every time you do an explore video someone says it doesn't matter how much
research you do someone always says you need to do more research because they expect us to be
like full-on historians it's so it's hilarious but literally spent like 20 minutes trying to figure
out about this guy what I did figure out was that he's considered the father of the modern Thai Navy
just back to the uh fact-checking historian thing for a minute when we're out filming these videos
sometimes we don't even know we're going to end up in places like this and when we do believe it or
not often there is not English on the writing for the descriptions of these things so we had no idea
Google came in helped us out a little bit if we're wrong just let us know no need to get mad at us
you guys we're trying our best you're making the videos so how's it going over here I am hot hot
in the shade is not too bad and when the breeze comes up oh it's so nice tummy's doing better
than I expected I will say that but I think maybe it's a good idea to head back to our
place it is a nice day and I don't know if you guys remember that rooftop pool we kind
of teased it in the last video but it might be a little safer to be there near a toilet might I say
[Music]
so welcome back to the pool we did actually show this to you in our last video but the
weather got super moody and it started to rain the moment we got out here this
is more like it it's so refreshing after you know walking up a giant Hill sweating a lot being
overheated and then just be able to come back here jump in this pool and then Lounge by it for
a little while yeah it's one of the things we were looking for when we decided to move here to Phuket
Thailand for a while and by the way we might not even have even said that yet in this video that's
the goal is we're trying to scope out areas to live throughout the world we're here for quite
a while in Thailand it's just today well last week was a bit of a rough start but we wanted a
place with a pool but I do have to say it when we come to a place for longer like we did this time
then you do get sick it's not I mean not that you want to get sick but it's better when you're at a
place for a long time if you had like a two-week vacation oh and you're sick oh that would suck
yeah if you if you came here and flew across the world let's say from North America and got
here and you had 10 days and you got sick and like we were I mean your vacation is over we couldn't
do anything so so at least we have we can make up for it and again this is a really like homey setup
with super super happy with it by the way this is a salt water pool I always love when places
go the extra step and they do that because age is great for your skin and two it's kind of fun
because it's just more buoyant when you're in here but speaking of this pool once again the
view is incredible from up here I mean it is it's out of this world and it's in an infinity pool
now if you're wondering what does our place look like we showed everyone in the last video so you
can go back to the last video maybe we'll make it right up here and you can see the full-on tour in
that one well it's time to have this little guy something you know I said we can get smoothies
and stuff like that you can also get cold pressed juices and this is like cold pressed Ginger it's
just straight up Ginger we tried another one the other day same thing and it's so strong I'm not
really looking forward to it it just literally straight up Ginger I wonder if you're supposed to
mix it into something it doesn't say to but it's I can't believe how strong I've been trying to
eat really really carefully lately so we've been having a lot of like just plain bread probiotic
yogurt we did fine for you Canadians out there some Kraft macaroni and cheese craft dinner as
we call it soups just basic stuff like that but all right it is time to try the most potent of
potent drinks straight ginger as we said you guys you guys ready for this because it's it's harsh
it like it's a burning sensation of Ginger I can't describe it as anything else don't
there's no other descriptive words this time it's hot and burning on your throat
if you ever had like ginger beer maybe that's the best the best example I can give you but
Ginger Beer is kind of for enjoying this it's not for enjoying this is straight up just for
your tummy do I have to oh you have to I really don't want to it's gonna make
better for the record I love Ginger but this is just like there's no words
why do we do this it like it really really Burns as it goes down your throat it burns more than a
shot of vodka it does it's almost like it's like a Chili's in it so all things considered that
wasn't a terrible day it wasn't a bad day we just needed a distraction like a real distraction from
our place and just sitting around waiting for the next time we had to go to the toilet yeah and it
was nice to actually get out of here and actually do something and not no major emergencies we were
good I hope you guys uh enjoyed it we thought we'd fire up the camera and show you the realities of
travel like this happens to everyone happens to the best of us it happens to us not that often
knock on wood somewhere someone knock on wood for us on the other side of the screen yeah please but
I know sometimes when we have videos that are kind of might we say negatively titled people say stop
complaining we're not complaining this is just it is in reality it happens to pretty much everybody
at some point especially if you travel as often you eat out as often as we do yes I'm really glad
it did not happen on a travel day because that would that would really really suck now what we
do want to know from you guys is if you have any tips like when this happens to you and you have
like an upset stomach and many other things what um what do you do like do you eat certain things
I mean we try to stick to some really Basics yeah anybody have any tips anything that really worked
for you in the past when you got sick we're up for uh we're up for any suggestions you might
have now if you got this far in the video thank you for watching there's lots more on Thailand
