Koh Samui, is one of my favorite islands in the world. The biggest beach town on the island has undergone drastic changes in the past 2 years. I will take you around and explain. Better or Worse, all depends on you!

My name is Brian but everyone calls me Greeny. I retired in January of 2020 after working 30 years in Law Enforcement. I wanted to retire young enough to be able to do some of the things I always dreamed about! I knew I wanted to travel extensively and retire somewhere warm and exotic I sampled a ton of places in the Caribbean, Panama, Colombia, Turkey but set my sights on Thailand.

    Quality vlog Greeny - man, you've taken it up a couple of levels with this one! Keep up the great work.
  • Nice vlog Greeny! My last visit was also pre-Covid ( Jan 2020) love this island and also Koh Phangan. I recognize Some of the areas you photographed here. Wow! I need to make my way back there! Great vibe!
  • @paulcousins1371
    Well done Greeny, excellent photography, yes these resorts are changing to cater for our needs, breakfast looked fab, that whole neon fire dance thing is way too much for me at my age😂👏🏿🥰
  • @apple1234iou
    I was in Chewang yesterday and couldn’t wait to leave
  • @minimalistation
    What a great vid...........How Samui has changed.Looks pretty full on.......................................
  • @anne2loving
    Hmmm...curious whats in chewang beach. Thanks for sharing this video
  • I first went to Chaweng beach in April, 1993. Only one hotel on the beach with air con, and the main road wasn't paved until about year 2000.
  • I enjoyed watching this video...well done , great info.....made me feel like I was actually there in that beautiful environment....thank you for the trip, even though I'm still here...(wishing I were there 😎🌅)
  • @matthewbaker6177
    I stayed there (Chewang) for a few months back in 2006/2007. It was much nicer then. Looks like hell on earth now. Sad to see.
  • @kurtknop6901
    Love your videos, I am a fellow Michigander, visiting Pattaya 1st time in May, moving there next year. Seen u in wrestling shirts a couple times, I've coached for 20 years

    I was there in 1989 sitting in a beachside bar when two early to mid-20 English guys flew pass on their motorcycles and hit a dog on the street came off and skinned themselves. Chatted to them while waiting for help and they said they had just come from Phuket where they had scored work as extras on the Sean Penn and Michael J Fox Vietnam war film "Casualties of War". They were pissed that after getting lucky their luck had run out.
  • @brucewayne2773
    Lovely iguanas Greeny👍.Not the same Koh Samui that I visited 22 years ago. Sadly it's gone away as I remembered it.😩.
  • Could not wait to get off the island, was there 32 year ago, paradise. !!. Now I’m old and don’t do the music there and the crowds. So I’m on my way to Chumpon, enjoy kids….
  • @boogboog8097
    Looks well worth avoiding too crowded by the youngsters
