this video is brought to you by squarespace previously we went to Koh Chang and the
surrounding islands and wow what an experience it was to be in literally paradise on earth and today
we're going to another paradise a very popular island in trap province called Koh Kuud how did i
get here what is there to do what delicious foods can we find all of these questions plus many more
will be answered as we explore over the next two days and in this video the tropical paradise
okay so we are here in Koh Kuud now we're just about to go to a really beautiful waterfall
but i want to tell you how i got here today from kochang because that in itself was a little bit
of an adventure so in the morning i left pajamas hostel my beloved hostel in cochang and i said a
bittersweet goodbye because i absolutely loved it there bye-bye pajamas and then me and dreamy
we drove and got on the ferry back to the mainland and i was told that you know there was two options
to get to kokud from cochang i could have just gone directly on a ferry a little wooden boat and
it would have taken four hours or to go to the mainland drive to another pier further south in
trap province and then catch the bigger ferry and i just decided to do that and i'm so glad
i did because when i got to the mainland i got off the boat and i drove about an hour further
south into trat and when i got to the pier i was told that i was actually allowed to bring dreamy
on the ferry because on coach hang they told me no no no you can't take your motorbike to co
could you'll have to rent one when you get there so i was a bit like oh okay never mind dreamy
can't come to kokud but you can it cost me 300 baht for me and 300 baht for dreamy and she came
all the way without a kick or a screen so she's very well behaved and when i got to
kokod i got immediately lost and ended up in this beautiful fishing village right on the pier
okay we made it to kokode me and dreamy an unexpected trip for dreamy to another island
this place has got a cool vibe huh this is real thailand fishing people
fishing boats floating villages people just living off the sea life and what they can catch
and then i drove through the islands to somewhere in the middle and i found a place called pd guest
house uh pd obviously how could i not stay there paddy doyle pd guest house and i've just checked
in and it was 700 baht for a private bungalow with aircon so not too bad and uh you know we got here
it's like the thing is now it's not nearly four o'clock so we've wasted most of today
um but the weather's gorgeous so we're gonna shoot before it gets dark we're gonna go to a waterfall
and then we're gonna go to one of the nicest beaches here not too far away
not a bad start cocoon not a bad start why do we do this every time
so yeah that was beautiful and it's free there is a donation box so i put 100 bart
in but you could put 20 bar in and they'd still be happy and you can swim without a
life jacket and there's nobody whistling at you like in other waterfalls we've seen
cheers everybody frozen tom collins yes please we're not going to be short of beaches on this
island this entire west coast um the north and the south is just littered with bays like this
so i think tomorrow we'll have a beach day and see what else the island has to offer every
in every direction i can see people here on the weekend having a great time enjoying the nature so
we won't settle here we'll try and get to another beach i want to finish this as i was enjoying my
tom collins i noticed these two dogs on the other side of the rocks and you never guess what they
were doing they were fishing oh these weren't your typical beach dogs in thailand these guys were
thick i'm not sure of the breed do let me know if you know in the comments but uh just watching
these guys fish whilst i was drinking my frozen tom collins on this paradise beach was a highlight

and um this seems to be like this is where most people come because right down there there's like
four or five piers and each pier has its own little like cafe bar kind of thing um
this one's got one of those little net things where you sit on it but i don't trust that
um it's pretty very pretty co could so i'm probably just gonna enjoy the sunset here
and have a cheeky beer and then tomorrow we'll explore more of the island so far so good right
good morning good morning from the beautiful
i had a terrible night's sleep last night i had the worst night's sleep i think i had
three nightmares like i get vivid dreams but last night i had three
horrific nightmares in a row woke up shook it off fell asleep repeat repeat
five o'clock in the morning i just gave up i just gave up so i've got like
two hours of sleep so that's not good i think i've stopped drinking coffee for like
three four months but i think i need a coffee guys otherwise i'm just gonna be like a zombie all day
so let's go get a coffee let's go get some breakfast and um
let's try and snap out of it and attack this paradise i mean look at this place
yeah coke could it was quickly becoming one of the most beautiful islands in this entire
trip easily one of the most beautiful places and i ducked into this place called viewpoint cafe
at low tide it's got this amazing view and they do
really good vietnamese coffee with banana bread with lemon yogurt and it was just to die for
and because that was my first coffee in like six months and it was extremely strong
i was immediately energized and i took one look at
the stand up paddle boards that they had for rent at the cafe and well i had to
that cafe was brilliant they've got margaritas like all types of really good cocktails thai food
western food and obviously amazing coffee and i'm perked up mad now i'm like off it i'm off my head
and they were playing um that's why i didn't show you the sound because they were playing
like backstreet boys and britney spears really loud which actually i was vibing with massively
and rented a paddleboard from there and look at this this is paradise
there's a couple of other people doing it but it's really quiet nice and early in the morning still
so the seas calm and flat and peaceful so i'm just going to do this for an hour and soak up cocooned
you beautiful little minx i don't care who you are where you're from i don't care what you
yeah everybody
my little sing song sorry about that after i finished paddle boarding i went to another
waterfall kokud has three and one of them is closed at the minute so this is the other one
and it's gorgeous kind of looks like it was made in the computer game minecraft
because all of the rocks are square and rectangular and it's really easy to climb up and
just explore and i had it pretty much practically to myself absolutely just ridiculously beautiful
one of the best waterfalls in thailand just because you could swim there it was beautiful and
the fish didn't bite your skin too much like they do in other ones and then i went to another beach
in the afternoon and look how beautiful this place is this was recommended to me by one of you guys
and um yeah i had a bit of a story to tell you so let me explain okay um beautiful waterfall i'm
sorry i didn't talk at the waterfall um and it's now the afternoon you might be questioning like oh
paddy did you have a caffeine dip and pass out because of the coffee no um when i was paddle
boarding i saw someone and i said oh can you can you help me film can you just get a shot of me
paddleboarding and i'll use it in my youtube video and she said cool and then that's when i realized
she was western and so i met someone i met someone from the western world um here on coach
she's uh canadian so we just started talking and then um we went back to the place where i had the
coffee and a couple of margaritas and sharing travel stories we've now come to a place on
my map that one of you guys recommended so the whole day has kind of just disappeared
guys cocooned cocooned i think i should have stayed here for the time that i stayed in koh
chang ko chang is amazing koh chang is incredible but co could if you want to detach enjoy paradise
live the quiet life and have insane amounts of beauty to yourself like cocoon if you're looking
for white sands crystal clay crystal clear waters beautiful waterfalls and like not much to see
and do just pure rustic thailand way before mass tourism this is where you should come in in trap
province it is i mean it's just it's unbelievable guys i'm sorry i'm not really sharing too much in
this video like i said most of the day got lost by meeting that cool person that i'm with i don't
even want to ask her if she wants to be on camera because i just want to keep it like chill um
it's just i'm having a really nice time it's nice to connect with people
in such a beautiful place like what the heck co could what the heck
