okay so so far we've crashed the bike we've crushed my toe
the brakes have broken on the bike we're stuck on the mountain i'm walking
running down the same road like so many times before
okay so we did not make it up the hill
and bike literally just stopped uh my foot got
run over and i don't even know if you can hear me because i dropped the camera so i'm not sure
if you can hear anything or not um but look there's the ocean
that's beautiful um that's the steep hill michael's just putting the bike back
okay so yeah i didn't plan to obviously on this happening so i'm not sure if you can hear me
because i dropped my gopro i just said that sorry that was a bit like i'm a bit shaken up
right now we were going up this big hill um and it was going like semi okay we have 150 cc bike
michael and i both weighed quite a lot so we were going up here and it got it was fine um
even going up this part here off this steep part it was fine until we got to literally
it's right there and the bike just stopped like as in like i think it turned off michael will be able
to tell you what happened in a second but i think the bike just turned off like stopped working um
entirely i don't even know if my camera's working i can see that it's like scratched i dropped it
um and the bike stopped and then we just started suddenly going backwards and yeah um michael's
trying to hold the bike i'm trying to like get off the bike my foot got run over michael's foot
got run over we saved the bike bike didn't fall over but i dropped my camera i dropped
my phone i dropped everything i'm also trying to drink a coffee so silly anyway this is pretty oh
tell you what if you're gonna get your foot run over by a bike i'm glad it was here it's so nice
um anyway we're on the way up to the overtone rock
let me just go find michael i don't know where he's put the bike my toes really hurting actually
okay i switched to my camera i'm not even sure what i got on my gopro just then um but now we're
just sitting here because we couldn't get up that that's where it happened up there um but now we're
not actually sure where you actually go to get to the stone we hear people up there like i can hear
like voices and things and i'm assuming they're at the overturn overlap stone or whatever but
we don't know how to get there i think we have to keep walking but we're just michael's just double
checking that we're not like and then hopefully we can tell you so you know where to go when you come
you okay yeah i'm fine i want you to get hurt okay so apparently this little shop thing that we see
just in the distance is what michael's read is where you sort of park or stop because you can't
get bikes any further up basically and that's like 300 meters like the the rock is 300 meters
from there and apparently it's very very steep so yeah our bike didn't even make it our bike didn't
even make it to there it kind of stopped just around that corner there so keep that in mind
if you're coming with someone i would also recommend maybe hiring a jeep or something like
a car for the day to get up here or i don't know where you'd park a car so either you're gonna have
to get a bike that can get you up to this part and then walk or i don't know get a very strong car
or something but we're going to do it because i wanted to show you oh i don't want to do it
okay we're going to do it we're going to stop there we're going to have a drink yeah we're
going to just walk there and then have a drink and reconsider our life choices and then get back
to you all right but this is pretty look wow all right let's just get to there and have a stop for
a sec my toes still hurting but that's okay but above here there's two two lovely viewpoints okay
down there awesome thank you we got to that bit where you put your motorbikes it was 20 baht to
[ __ ] motor back there and then he has like a fridge full of like drinks like water and things
like that um which were double the price of if you got them in lotus themselves but that's okay
we're in desperate need we saw someone who who was trying to give us an honest
representation on how far up it is so we're just climbing up this little thing here
sorry if i make absolutely no sense i'm not the fittest right now so apparently you can
get on that um bridge thing and do that but we're going to go straight up because
i think that's the hardest part let's keep going but there's got we got to this fork in the road
where if you keep going you go further up the mountain or you go down onto this
oh okay yeah you go down on the dirt road don't keep going up the mountain for whatever you do it
costs down 50 baht by the way each to go through so we're just going to get the money ready so
the house and i think this is where we pay 50 baht each i think for the entrance
oh
so i'm just walking down the what's this path uh wooden thing that they've made to get to the rock
and this person i think that's their house how lucky do you have to be to have had a house
right there and she's just chilling she's charging 50 baht per person to come to the rock
and this is the view you get from it oh this is crazy i'm gonna look around the
side there is no railing once you get on the rock so actually even on the
ladder thing either bridge so be careful it's also very windy you're right wow
okay so we had a crash motorbike a crushed toe a big hike
lots of sweat lots of water bottles was it worth it i'm gonna go ahead and say yes
very well worth it if your bike can make it up to that stopping point and you can pay 20 baht
that's worth it so we got really really lucky with that we we probably had about half an hour
where no one was around there was no one in line we were the only ones there and i think that is
really lucky we saw some like reviews online and people were saying that um they came at like 11
o'clock or something and they had to wait for people to have their photo and walk out onto the
rock and everything like that um but we are right now yeah it was three when we got there it's about
3 30 now so i think we had about half an hour or it was just us so maybe the afternoon's the way
to go if you want to be sort of on your own um or maybe we just got really lucky today because
that was cool we had time for photos videos uh flying like vlogging everything so let's
go show you this other little viewpoint there is before you walk all the way up to the stone
i just slept a bit and that was really scary so there is this one too you're quite high up
a little bit lower than before i'm pretty sure at the actual rock but you get this beautiful
view regardless so if you only want to come to this part you totally can but it's worth it if
you just go a little bit further up okay so we made it all the way down the hill and this is
where michael parked the bike so now that the hard part of the day is over i think we just we just we
just found well michael found a private sort of waterfall that we're gonna try and now drive to
find go swim in the waterfall and have a look at that maybe get a little bit refreshed because
it's really hot we're gonna drive there now and have a little bit of a break for a second
so it's basically saying to keep going we have another 1.5 kilometers to go
but we're basically on the top of this mountain like the actual top
okay so that was a pretty i don't know if you're right i didn't know if we're gonna make it at some
points there um it's literally right on the top of one of the mountains like you could see over
literally everything it felt like we're almost in the clouds this is what we typed in buddha's
secret garden or secret buddha garden or something but i think it's actually called magic tamarind
waterfall or tamarind magic it's something something magic garden so keep that in mind
i'm going to try and find all of these places that we go to obviously and put them in the description
below as best that i can so it was 80 baht each to get down here there's a waterfall pretty much
right in front of us i hope it's bigger than this because it's not a very big waterfall
is that it i was expecting like a big waterfall like you know ones that are like
really really tall and there's like a like a lake or not a lake because it's a waterfall
but like a mass of water at the base that you can kind of swim in that's kind of what i had in mind
for today that's kind of what i wanted i mean this is beautiful nonetheless a little stream
of water isn't really what i had in mind i kind of wanted like a waterfall and to be able to swim
in the uh i guess bottom of the waterfall in the water so um i'm a bit disappointed but it's not
because this isn't beautiful it's because it's just not what i expected and i should have just
done more research and found a big waterfall that looks like what i wanted to go to so
that's my own fault you could normally see how popular something is by how many like
reviews it has on google it says over 2 000 reviews so i'm assuming a lot of people have
visited here at some point so it says the gardens are a creation of old samui fruit
farmer nem thongsuk who in 1976 began erecting several statues and temples around his family's
land statues depict a number of animals deities and humans in various poses including one of
putnam himself uh in a relaxed position sitting on a rock he kept developing this garden until
he was 91 years old it was started about 100 years ago it is pretty much almost dinner time so let's
go back all the way down the mountain and let's find some food i'm not sure what there is i'm not
sure where we're going we'll find something along the way on the way back to our villa and we'll um
get something to eat i think it's time let's go oh you're right no
okay are we stopping okay so i packed away all of our cameras and everything like that and the
gopros in the bag and everything we're driving down this this hill like to get down to food
and all of a sudden michael just goes like just then and apparently the brake broke so the right
brake's completely the right brake isn't working we only have the left brake to get us and we're
like literally trying to go down this massive hill with one break and the two the two of us um that
was scary because i don't know what that i thought we like hit something or there was like i don't
know what's going on there but now we're literally going down this massive hill with one break and we
have no break now and that's not what you want to hear in thailand we've got like slowly behind us
okay so so far we've crashed the bike we've crushed my toe
the brakes have broken on the bike we're stuck on the mountain i'm walking
okay so we have some chicken and some sticky rice with some swallows to be like
sauce i'm pretty sure it's spicy because everything else on the menu says spicy
so let's have a look look at my helmet mark now you'll get to see how sunburned i am
so i was on the back of the bike i had like all the cameras in my bag so like i didn't have
anything to that was recording and we're going down the hill coming back from the waterfall and
all of a sudden michael's like and i thought like we'd hit something like i said so what actually
happened the bright the brake just like stopped working the right brake which was really tough
we're going down the hill and it's carrying us on the bike so it's going to be very tough
i squeezed it like i was holding it the whole way down and then all of a sudden
it just gives way and there's no tension at all and we just start going faster and faster and then
quickly realize that our brakes broken there was no way to actually stop the
the bike it would it would stop to about maybe six seven kilometers an hour but then because we were
on a really steep decline it was just going faster and faster so i literally had to put my feet down
and use my feet like flintstones style to stop the bike so i think all the friction on the bottom of
his seat and the pavement he's like set his feet on fire luckily he kind of evened out a little bit
after there and the right brake came back i don't know why he just randomly decided to work again
and that's when i got on the bike and now we've made it down the bottom of the mountain and we've
just found a place to just sit and stop because i'm tired that was a lot there was a lot of riding
my back hurts so we're hungry it's probably like six or five o'clock in the afternoon or something
we haven't eaten yet so we're going to eat this chicken we've stopped over we're really lucky that
we were like slowed down to enjoy the view yeah because if what if we're going fast 50 60 k's yeah
through the mountains we wouldn't have been able to break i will say that we've been eating sort of
more at like beachfront restaurants or like more upper end sort of thing yeah which was obviously
more expensive um so we really miss coming somewhere local like we like doing that so
we thought that since the bike is broken and we're having a it's interesting adventurous day with a
little bit of panic thrown in there in the mix uh we thought we'd just stop and decompress and find
somewhere that looks really local we found this on the side of the road before we head back to
our villa so let's eat this chicken so i have the chicken and the sticky rice on my fork oh sorry
you guys don't like it when i eat with a fork but this is how i grew up you grow with spoons
i grow up with forks i'll probably never never remember to eat with a spoon but i'm gonna eat
with this and i'm gonna dip it in the sauce even though it looks spicy i'm going to give it a go
oh i've got a hiccup every time i have chili i have egg ops
every time i eat with something with chili i get that you don't know it's coming
i get the hiccups it's delicious
the chicken is so soft the chicken is so soft and the rice is
really good but that sauce itself has a really good flavor besides the chili all right we've
had a little snack that chicken was actually so delicious i had the rest of it without the sauce
and it was so nice um it was like like really roast taste it was really good so we're just
on the side of the road now we're gonna get back on the bike we're gonna head back to
the villa and i can edit for the rest of the night but let's head back now we're back home
look if you are coming to gotsumui i think i would recommend or if you want to it's totally up to you
it depends on what tickles your fancy and what you like to do but i could have skipped that waterfall
and i could have done something else um during the day but that's totally cool it depends on what you
like and what you want to do we tried to do the uh zipline but all of them said temporarily closed
on google so and then we did find one that was open um but i didn't have enclosed shoes and it
was just yeah it just wasn't gonna happen but there is a place that's top secret right now
that has the zip line and i'm gonna save it for that video so that will be coming in the future
i just couldn't get to it today make sure you like and subscribe smash both of those
buttons for me it really helps me out with youtube and i will see you in the next one bye
