This is Koh Mook a beautiful island in the south of Thailand if you want a slice of
paradise with only a few tourists this is going to be your little gem welcome to Koh Mook.
It's a little bit muddy behind us had a lot of rain here recently in Thailand a little bit muddy
so we just took that tricycle ride or TukTuk to I'm not sure what they call it here but in the
Philippines that's a tricycle yeah and I've only ever seen them in the Philippines but yeah it's
cool it fit a Filipino Vibes I like it we will be going back there very soon there's so much so much
rain at the moment here in Thailand everywhere's a bit flooded on this island so we've just got
to Charlie Beach and this place looks amazing look at the big mountains over there literally Tropical
Paradise like St Lucia or something it's so cool and we're going to try and go to comix Emerald
cave it's like a hidden spot here in Thailand and yeah I'm gonna try and kayak there I think so
yeah oh wow there's a lot of rubbish on the beach actually we're gonna head over to the restaurant
on the left side of the beach and try and find some kayaks to rent so unfortunately we can't
go to the emerald cave yet because it's going into high tide and you can't get into the cave at high
tide ask the guys when you rent their kayak when it's the high tide or low tide and they'll tell
you when you can go so we've got to wait till two or three o'clock this afternoon so we're gonna go
for a little swim relax here get them some lunch and then then we're gonna head over to the cave
this cave looks amazing so I'm excited to show you let's go in the water for a swim
[Music]
right it's time to go on the kayak to Emerald cave
so we've started kayaking to Emerald cave the emerald cave is just round
this cliff and it's about 25 minutes 30 minute paddles that way so let's go and
find it we might have to wait a bit because of the low tide so we might go to another
Beach which is called Sabai Beach and which is supposed to be really beautiful and very very
um empty and like not many people are so should be cool we're not sure how much further it is but it
is around this corner maybe another 10-15 minutes but it's awesome around here there's hardly any
there's no one else we've seen no one else in the water it's crazy so somehow we managed to miss the
Lagoon because of high tide we couldn't see the entrance to it but we've just found Sabai Beach so
we're gonna paddle into here wait a bit and then hopefully in an hour or so the um we'll be able
to see the entrance to the cave look how green the water is it's actually insane it's so weird here
in Thailand I feel like the water's like really greeny Aqua whereas when you're in the Philippines
it's like blue and like crystal blue kind of color it's so crazy like it's like the trees reflect the
green on the water isn't it I feel like we've just washed up on like a Bear Grylls like Island
episodes yeah now we have to fight for survival this is in Thailand like one of the most touristy
destinations in the world but there's no one on this beautiful beach with these massive cliffs
and our very own Eagle I mean why does no one else in coma [Music]
so this is our very own Beach this is called Sabai Beach and you can actually get here I
think by a jungle Trek but apparently because of covid the way is not very like signposts and
stuff so it's a little bit crazy but it would be cool to hike through this jungle because it
feels like no one's here it was good getting the kayak though because it's a lot quicker I think
yeah a lot quicker so we've set off on a kite and we're going for the emerald Lagoon I'm actually
getting a bit concerned because it is looking a bit gray and stormy and the lady said that
it might rain this afternoon so we're hoping there's no tropical downpour on the way that
I think the entrance to the cave is just over here these boats are probably making
it quite obvious for us as we did Miss on the way here and it is definitely lower
tide now when we left the beach it was so much lower so hopefully we can go in
okay guys we need to tell you about that it is so peaceful here but back over near the Lagoon
where you go through the cave it was so choppy and there was nowhere really to tie the kayak we
had this really small string apparently you can't kayak through it which is what I read online and
a boat was there and they were like no you can't take the kite through so we would have had to tie
up the kayak and we were just like no we can't we can't do this can we it was quite scary I was
honestly feeling really really scared then if you want to go to the emerald Lagoon or cave whatever
it's called then I definitely recommend going on a boat with a guide and the guide will take you
through because it was Pitch Black the guy the guy taking the other boat they had a big flashlight
and they were going through these small little caves maybe it's because it's still quite high
tide but definitely don't recommend going for it alone unless the waters maybe really still
so yeah just something to keep in mind when you come to Comic probably within the distance we
also saw a storm or like we don't want to get caught in a storm in the middle of the sea do
we so yeah that's the other reason we thought best not to go in because I didn't want to get stuck in
a straw no that's probably not the best thing to do you see a storm kind of coming over the
Island's kind of Disappearing over there oh I think that's raindrops it started raining
okay oh no let's put the GoPro down and let's get back to shore how glad are you to be back
I'm so happy I feel so relieved the beach looks so beautiful from here you can see all the palm trees
and now the Tide's gone out you can see more of the sand it's so cool and the rain stopped
so we're just leaving the beach but earlier we got here by like the tuk-tuk tricycle thing whatever
it is but we're actually going to walk back and show you a bit of the local town which is pretty
cool so it is pretty muddy here I'm going Barefoot because I'm an Australian man or wannabe this is
the main road across the island and it's so muddy this is just such a raw like you feel like you're
really going back to basics Place obviously I'll show you the room later that's not very
basic it's a very very nice room especially for where it's located this is like the M25 of comic
isn't it look yeah pretty much crazy but there is a lot of flooding at the moment as we've said so
so this is the local gas station very old school I quite like it it's quite cool rustic yeah oh
this one looks a bit more modern actually doesn't it it doesn't have updated it this
island feels so tropical and humid when you come Inland like I've been bitten look at
that mosquito bite it's a massive big old mosquito bite and honestly I've been bitten
here as much as I have been anywhere and mosquitoes do love me this is the
local town and as you can see everything's built on stilts to withstand the water hello
but also the people are so lovely and kind that's one thing about Thai people are so nice
there is an ATM there is one ATM that's the only one we've seen yeah so it's just started raining
as you can see behind us it's getting pretty heavy so we've got some Coconut Thai ice cream it's
supposed to be traditional so really good yeah just fresh fresh let's have a taste of this stuff
there's actually rice at the bottom of this ice cream and it's so good I think this is she said
it was like Thai traditional ice cream so yeah pretty good recommend it so it stopped raining
and so we are taking the opportunity before it rains again to get back to our bungalow
so good morning last night it literally just rained the whole time didn't it
and it rained a bit this morning but it stopped now and it's really cleared up
cleared up a lot more we're just going to show you one of the other beaches a really good beach
you should come to because at low tide it's like a massive kind of sand bar kind of thing and yeah
we want to show you so as I was saying yesterday this island is so untouristy there's like hardly
any tourists here when we were talking to an owner of a restaurant and apparently most of
the tourists just come in December January and February and then outside of those months there's
not many people so 70 of tourists come to Comic on December January February so there you go [Music]
and after about half an hour of no rain I'm getting raindrops on me again aren't we getting
a bit wet so this is where we're staying we're staying at mukman Resort and it's literally on
the seafront this is our little beach Bungalow thing it's got a lovely little balcony here
somewhere to sit and also a fan so you can stay cool when you're sitting outside so this is our
room this is our big bed because in Thailand there's always massive beds and we've got loads
of light we've actually got AC which is not that common on this island but we did spend
a little extra so just so we were comfortable and obviously a fridge TV stuff and then this is the
bathroom which is pretty good oh can you hold that for me yeah and so we've got toilet shower
and the usual you know just a cursing across like you do most places in Asia but check out
this bum gun power the pullback is literally like you shoot and you're like wow that's got power in
it so this place is causing US 23 pounds a night which is a really good deal for here in comic and
I definitely recommend staying here it's just a really comfortable stay with a lovely little
balcony and hammock out there as well so yeah there you go so guys that is the end of the video
unfortunately we didn't go to the Viewpoint and show you probably the beach just because
there was so much rain because it's you know the changeover of Seasons but I definitely recommend
checking out combuk if you want to escape more tourists here in Thailand and still have beautiful
white sand beaches than KO milk is the place to come to and honestly staying here definitely
recommend it thank you so much for watching this video and I'll see you in the next video
where we actually go into a really cool island called polite which is two hours further south
in here and it looks amazing looks tropical like the Maldives so let's go see you in the next one
