today we decided to go for a little drive around the island because we have a lot on
our minds lately there's been a lot of changes happening in thailand that are affecting us
and they are slowly creeping up and now we feel the impact of those changes we'll tell you more
about it but we just thought we would take you with us today as we explore the island
this video is going to be more chill than what we usually do but we hope you will still enjoy it
so our first shop of the day is this thai chinese breakfast place it is located right next to the
highway so we apologize if it is a bit loud we drive by this place all the time but it's our
first time trying it because we saw some photos online and it looked really cute we're gonna
order a variety of different things and we'll just show you what traditional thai breakfast is like
uh
okay thank you this is called uh it's pretty much just like sunny side of eggs
topped with chinese sweet sausage some hot dogs corn peas and minced pork
yes
classic thai breakfast country with minced pork boiled eggs
some pork liver and pork intestine topped with fried garlic ginger and spring onions
this dim sum is very different from the one in hong kong except this one this is
sumai which looks similar which is minced pork with that wonton wrapper on the outside
and steampun is the same but many of the thai dim sum is just like minced pork and then they put a
different topping on top like mushrooms or corn or a thousand year egg or egg yolk or something this
tastes very similar yeah it's not very original i think hong kong style dim sum is more there's
more variety to it but this is still really cool like i still think it it looks delicious wow
oh my goodness
what did you get uh bakuteh it smells so good which is the chinese herbal broth
with pork ribs and lots of mushrooms and tofu skin curd goji berries oh it smells amazing
right this one's delicious it feels so good even though it's
it's hot like in thailand but hot broth just is so soothing for your throat
so this place is called mui dim sum which is located in an
area called lipa noi it's a really cute little place and overall the food was good
and our favorite is the buck with day which we will probably come back for it's really good
yeah it's really good and and everything we ordered which is quite a lot came to 380 baht
which is very affordable which is very good which is very good too
so come support local if you're in some way because this place is it's very good
since we're stuck here in Koh Samui i thought it would be fun to rent
a little jeep to drive around and explore the island a little bit
check this one out is it that cute this thing looks so good on camera babe
it looks good on the outside but let's take a look on the inside
well first of all, the side mirror, this one is not really working
it doesn't stay both seats are broken Flora's seat I cannot fix but my seat I put a tripod there to
anchor it yeah the rear view mirror doesn't stay so we have to turn it vertically which works
fine there's no ac everything is broken pretty much except the engine and the steering wheel
but it was fun i mean we wouldn't buy it but it's like really fun that we rented it and it's uh
taking us on some adventures the thing is we rented this like many days ago and we thought
we just gonna have it for two days and we keep extending it because it's actually a lot of
fun to drive i like the style i like the vintage jeep i don't like this particular one but there's
another one near our house that i have an eye on that i think maybe i should buy it
well i guess that means we have more on our minds to talk about
wondering if thousands of the sky's miles as blue it's as if i'm stalking yesterday
when i'm thinking of you cause when you have your morning coffee i'm turning
out the light so i could dream and when you smile through the screen i wish you could be
with me so i lay my head to rest when the sun is red so we're just driving and we saw this temple
and decided to stop since we don't really have a plan today what's this temple called it's called
it looks really unique because it's it's still all clay like it's beautifully carved i guess
like it's raw you know yeah it looks raw because they haven't painted over it or
we're not sure if they will paint over it but look at how cool just look at this is
i don't know how to explain it like the posture of the buddha and all the monkey
creatures it's just so elegant it flows like this curve up and then it all like meat at the
and top time that you are closing your eyes i will be beside you and my heart will glide across the
mice to fly right to you cause when i dive into the traffic so what's been on our mind lately
is that there has been more and more travel restrictions in thailand it's making it quite
difficult for us to travel domestically like a couple months ago like two months ago we were
still able to just hop on our bike and drive to champaign drive to some class drive to many
places and we didn't have to plan out too much if we're staying for a week two weeks or a month
we had the freedom to move around and know that we can come back to got some way and
there would be no problems september 9 there was a new list of restrictions that came out
and we were a bit shocked because basically what it says is unless we are staying in the
Surat Thani province which is where Koh Samui is if we're traveling to any other provinces outside
we would need a vaccine certificate and a pcr test to be able to come back to some way without
quarantining and it kind of took us by surprise because this is what we do for this channel is
to show you guys the unseen parts of thailand but when there are new restrictions like this
we are afraid to leave the island because we might not be able to return to our home
to this beautiful island that's why we feel like we're stuck of course we can go get a job um but
because we are hoping to wait until we can get the one we would like to have when there
are more options available that we can choose then we will probably get one so that we can
travel freely in thailand and probably abroad when the time is right we
aren't anti or four we just we would get it because we can continue traveling um it wasn't a
a huge thing on our minds before because living in gotsamoy we feel really safe we never really felt
like the urge to we have to line up and get a jab right away so yeah that's one thing that's why we
feel stuck is that we are scared to leave because we don't want to have to quarantine 14 days
every single time coming back to our own home yeah yeah not just that but also we have to take a pcr
test which is another 3600 baht or something like that each so that'd be really really expensive
because we we are not luxury travelers i wouldn't say we're like budget travelers but we're also
not luxury travelers and that's a lot of money to just to enter and leave yeah the island
but we don't want to like make this sad or like complain about this problem it's just we wanted
to show the reality of i think this is happening to a lot of travel or content creators right now
is is basically the restrictions dictate what they can do and where they can go um
yeah i think this is just why we have been on the island now for i think over two months
but we have still been enjoying what we can do on the island like you renting a jeep yeah that's
that's been pretty cool like we've had it for now for almost a week and it's brought us a lot of joy
it's a little adventure on its own and even though we're not going on some like really epic adventure
but we've been having fun enjoying the island and like today it's a pretty chill day but i
i think it's still a really relaxing vlog and hopefully you guys enjoy it too is just to see
what the island is like after this we're gonna show you this beautiful spot that we recently
discovered not far from here it's almost like what would you call a nice sandbar that leads you into
the middle of the ocean it will be a pig it's a really really nice spot speaking of which this
place is also really nice so we are in the tomkru area and this place is a little french bakery
called the kiosk they have cakes they have amazing croissants i mean croissant
and baguette and salad sourdough is really good but it's just right
in front of where all the long tail boats park but right now there's a lot parked here because there
are no tours running but i think this would have been a nice spot for people to get together and
meet before they go on a tour yeah i think that's probably yeah their main business before anyway
let's uh finish our coffee and check out that spot you want to see a cool transition yeah
what do you think no maybe it is better well you know what they say
there are no kingdoms without rulers
are you ready for change we could be kings and queens every day
all alone we are brave yes even braver than the brave so let's go start the race
we should be kings and queens every day you've been trying to find your crown happy campers
we almost forgot we uh wanted to say thank you for coming with us today on our little drive
and just listening to us listening to us ramble a little bit hope you enjoyed this little adventure
and as always have a wonderful day we will send you off with a beautiful sunset today bye
