once again we are back in Koh Samui our favorite place in Thailand
this time coming back though we can feel that this island is
just buzzing with tourists so join us today as we discover some new places and revisit
some of our favorite places on this beautiful island
what did you get I got this chorizo pasta for breakfast it's brunch this is brunch we're
trying out this new spot here in Samui called Pi it's in the area of Choeng Mon which we
actually don't venture out to too often we heard about this new place so we wanted to
come try and it looks amazing look at this look at all the people here
you can go ahead and eat it
I'm just going to take a bite
how is it
so delicious
you know that truck it actually belongs to that hotel right there that hotel owns the
whole island so in order to transport their guests they have to use this like four-wheel
truck to drive through the water I've seen photos of that hotel I think it's called Cape Fahn
and it is like an isolated island and I always wondered how do you get there especially
when it's high tide so that's pretty cool I think the rooms are like 20 000 Baht a night
or something like that we'll just look from here anyways this pasta is really good
the chorizo is so good the mushrooms the parmesan cheese and pasta is perfectly cooked
tattoo yeah tattoo
no more I have enough tattoo here
one good thing about it is that it doesn't hurt and it lasts for a week
look at this I got beetroot salad see one thing I like about coming back to our Island
the island of Koh Samui is that we get to be healthier we get to go back to our routine
we get to hit the gym we get to do the things that we are familiar with so it's always nice to be home
can you believe it we have been living here for almost three years and we have never been
to this beach yeah we wouldn't have come here if not for this place yeah because I always
thought that this area like this Bay is private place and it only access to the hotel the
sand is so soft look at this
okay let's see if this is nice and body temperature
this is actually the perfect amount of water for us who are not great swimmers do you need
help I need help because they're shallow it's kind of hard to uh balance
the first time we came to Koh Samui was for our honeymoon in 2013
10 years ago yeah and we fell in love with this place and we talked about it for years
so it's pretty crazy that it's a reality now that we call this place home we have been
having such great weather here in Koh Samui yeah this is what it usually is we did make a few
videos of rainy season which was very depressing yeah but this this is the majority of the
year is like in Koh Samui it's so beautiful this is such a perfect place to get a massage
isn't it look at the location of this place natural sound of the wave so we were just
chilling over there when we heard a lot of sound coming from this side so we thought we
would walk down Choeng Mon Beach and see what we find there's a lot of beach massage places
now that we're kind of walking down here and a lot of resorts and hidden cafes but further
down there is some sort of event going on I think it's like a volleyball competition
it could be beach volleyball let's go check it out [Music]
ice cream that actually looks good I want big rocket okay
she's being honest she said it's 100 baht she add 10% markup
do you know how to play volleyball yeah
actually I used to try it out in high school I was really good but I was way too short
there's so many new beach bars beach clubs that are open that we haven't seen before
like I've heard of this one as well Carnival Beach Village never knew it was here quite
a nice area to stay so one thing we do notice is that not just the beaches are really busy
but also the road has become really busy in a Samui there's a lot more taxis there's
lots more of the trucks and motorbikes which also unfortunately means we've been seeing
a lot more accidents happening so if you are coming to Samui and you are planning on
driving or renting a bike even just walking and crossing the street just be extra careful
because there's a lot of traffic going on
so we've now made it here to the plaza the green Night Market we haven't been here in
a while so it looks a bit different looks like there are some new vendors there's so
much more variety lots of snacks lots of delicious looking food
okay so it's like chewy flour with coconut flakes
I feel like we don't see this one very often so we should get it
these are "Nam Prik"
I love them they are Thai style dipping sauce sometimes they use fermented fish sometimes
they use just pork or eggplant or water cockroaches this is the water cockroaches oh really you
want to try it again no I remember not liking it so a lot of the vendors are still setting
up because we're here quite early it's only 5:00 p.m but we like coming to night markets
a bit earlier because then the food is hot and it's full and it's fresh this Market is
busy but it's not crazy busy like the one in Bophut because majority of the people here
are local people yeah and even the food choices are more catered to like local taste
buds yeah and there's some things that we don't really see in a more touristy Market
which is neat it's not a big place but there's some nice choices I spotted something over
there look at the lineup yeah they just finished setting up this Thai dessert shop and there's
already a lineup
I already picture in my head I have at least two things that I want
this one looks good it's like a coconut sticky rice with corn let's get that one and
and pumpkin with custard
but I see a lot of people getting that one
this this is khanom kho
so it's like chewy flour with brown sugar inside palm sugar inside yeah I think we should
get that too
I think Thai desserts are definitely underrated yeah like there's so many types
and people only think about mango sticky rice
or what's another popular one see that's the problem it's underrated there's so many other
different types that most foreigners don't know about but I feel like the reason they
don't like it because a lot of Thai desserts have this texture like a chewy chewy glutinous
rice texture and it's not overly sweet so it doesn't really seem like a dessert and majority
of them are eaten warm and I don't feel like Thai people eat their desserts after a meal
I think Thai desserts are more like a snack yeah we eat whenever we feel like it
So if you are interested in checking out this local market it is called Plaza the Green and it is open
only Saturday Sunday Monday and Tuesdays and around 5-5:30pm until 9pm
So this is one of our favourite sunset spots in this side of the island
which is called Bangrak and we're only around a minute
or two away from the night market we were just at this is also the pathway that leads
to the big Buddha it seems like a lot of people are having the same idea as we do but if
you want a nice cocktail or something like that there are so many sunset bars just right
on this side as well but this way it's way cheaper way cheaper and the view is the same
let's try the tiny isan sausage always good but the proper way to eat it is to chase it with
some fresh cabbage and Thai green chili and Pickled ginger
so delicious right and just like two Baht each someone sneaked in a piece of Fried Chicken
it was so tempting I know I was thinking the same so I'm glad you got it
you never had this before no I don't think so let me make one for you yeah okay I feel
like you're cleaning your hand more than making me food are you cleaning your hands I'm trying
to make it nice and dense for you
here you go that's the perfect bite
that's really yummy
it obviously tastes like fish but it's not fishy now I know what you mean
because they put a lot of herbs in there a lot of herbs and chili this one is one of my favorites
it's like a glutinous rice ball outside is shredded coconut and inside is palm sugar
the best way to show you is I eat one
oh it's dripping it's hot I guess some palm sugar melted
this is really good
now this is the rare one to find it's called "Khanom Jak" because it's wrapped in Jak leaf
as I said before Thai snacks have the same texture
it's so good
Thank you so much for joining us in Koh Samui today
and we hope you will add Samui to your list because it is the
most beautiful place we think in all of Thailand the best place on Earth
thank you for watching
and we will see you in the next one Have a WonderFlo Day bye bye
