good morning from beautiful koh samui today we're going to be having a really fun day
i'm going to be hanging out with flora and note they are a canadian couple flora is canadian but
note is also half thai he was born here and they live in koh samui and they're going to take me out
this morning fishing then i don't know what we're going to do we're just going to have fun no matter
what and they told me to meet them here nice and early at guan yu shrine and he is a taoism god of
war and you see him all over china but in modern days you also see him in places like thailand he's
gonna give us the power today to catch fish and to have fun so join us as we have a great day in koh
samui my name is paddy doyle and this is my little honda dream and welcome to next level adventures
right now we are attempting to visit every single province in thailand
we've had some incredible adventures already but the best part is we're only just getting started
so subscribe and join us as we discover this incredible country
together
so the best thing about meeting them here is right next to the shrine is a kao mun gai
place khao mun gai is just chicken with rice uh but it's it's different like it's like they cook
the rice with chicken carcass in the broth and so the the rice is so soft and it has a chicken stock
flavor to it and then you can choose between crispy fried chicken barbecue chicken or
boiled chicken sometimes you can order like a mix if you want to mix you can easily get a mix
i've just gone for the boiled chicken because i think that's my favorite one
and once you mix all that ginger sauce with the chilies with the chicken with the rice mix it up
the smell of the ginger is so strong if you don't like garlic if you don't like ginger
you'll hate this but if you love ginger and if you love garlic
and soft deliciously cooked rice with boiled chicken this is incredible
um i'm good for this i'm good with this yeah but that's just cute shrimp
we're with a couple of local people right they're gonna help us later they're actually local
fishermen they actually sell the fish for a living he does this for a living okay we're gonna kind
of get in his way and annoy him all day uh no he might be like hey you guys got to buy all the fish
i caught oh okay i see okay and i've seen on your videos that you guys do fishing quite a bit so you
guys know what you're doing it's our first time on this side though because we're usually fishing
in manam thai and the fish are smaller there so we're excited to see what we can find on this side

oh very good i feel like uh nothing but there was something 100 on that twice now
oops that's not where i wanted to throw it
fishing with flora and note was nothing short of so much fun we would just like you know walk
across the rocks and knee height or waist height cast out together to be honest we would just like
fall slip sink up to our chin and just scream and we were having the best time
and we would like walk from a different part to another part we'd follow the
other fishermen the real guys the ones who knew what they were doing we'd just
we'd fish in the same place as they would and they would catch fish like every five minutes
and we caught nothing we were rubbish in fact the only thing we were good at was catching rocks
do i have a fish what the hell is going on
i think i have a rock guys and so after a while we were just like okay let's go back to
the beach let's go to our base and let's cook up some of the fish that we hadn't caught but
like luckily the uh the local guys gave us three little groupers little like leopard
group as they're called they live under the rocks and then they come out when they see the laws
and they're only small but um flora and no love to cook on the beach they have their own
outdoor barbecue thing and they got to work and we just had a really nice time together

oh this is jasmine jasmine bungalow look jasmine jasmine jasmine this is jasmine yes
i had no idea you take a bud and you just rub your finger
that was a joke you got me
oh samui
not every island that i go to i vibe with um you might have seen koh lanta video
no beef against koh lanta but i didn't feel it as much as other places but here
on koh samui i've had a really good time and it's thanks to these guys and just the vibe in general
if you were thinking about moving to thailand like these guys moved from canada
i'd recommend bangkok if you can really handle the big city and you love big cities
bangkok will be a fantastic place to live chiang mai if you want something a little
bit low-key with mountains but if you wanted the south and you wanted all the
western comforts but also have all of thailand's beautiful nature within sight and within reach
these guys have videos all about moving to koh samui
how they found their house how to live on the island so go check them out
i'm hungry it's so windy and overcast in koh samui but i still love it
and there's a there's one of the ferries that we got here coming in they run all day every hour can
you believe that even like with everything that's going on the smoothie is still busy people still
want to come here which is great and uh they're gonna fly their drone they have a they have the
newer version of my old drone i have the little spark you guys have got the mivic the mythic the
mavic mini and they're to try and get a shot of the ferry i dare you to get a shot before it docks
oh yeah totally i dare you to fly into the cabin here i threw through the captain
through his window and out and there's uh there's shipwrecks over here and they want
to get a shot for they're making a documentary about kosamiri um and they need a shot of this
of this shipwreck so they're gonna do that and i'll steal it from them and pretend i did it
right for a price okay i'll buy you a beer how about that
ah koh samui
beautiful
