  3. Hi Amie
    What a Great video 🙏🏻
    The beach you are on when you are sitting in a beach chair is that the same area that your hotel is ?
    I like there is a bit of life on the beach as well as restaurants. 😊

  13. Hi Amie! Great content-Love everything about what you're doing and what a breath of fresh air compared to other creators! I'm about to travel SE Asia for a year and absolutely LOVE your style–Any chance you could drop the brands of the flowy shorts and brown crossbody bag you are wearing in this video? I'd appreciate it so much! I plan to live in that exact look all year! Love the dresses too!

  15. Thank you for this video! My kids just got to Ko Lanta and it’s a ghost town rn due to the monsoons. Wanted to see where they are and ease my nerves a bit. You’re adorable … and your name is spelled the same as mine! 😊 Don’t see that often!

  32. 2h by private car or van for 85usd in Thailand? You showed a van but said private car, which is it?

    It's 12$ in Palawan for a 5h ride in a modern comfy van from El Nido to Puerto Princesa.

    Also what month were you here?

  33. Does anyone know if Koh Lanta's version of the 'tuktuk' is available to rent? In the video at the 13:38 mark, it looks to me that a tourist is operating the tuktuk with a group of friends… can't seem to find this option with the recommended Lanta Sky operator. Thanks!

  34. …If you think Ko Lanta beaches are quiet, did you check out the Raja Ampat islands, and Komodo islands, of Indonesia? If you love adventure and going off-the-beaten track I definitely suggest you check it out! Waigeo, Batanta and Salawati, as well as Misool is the picture of paradise, this is Raja Ampat. About Komodo islands, Alor island, Flores and Sumba together with Komodo National Park is stunning! Ko Lanta is an amazing place to feel like at home away from home, its just the perfect balance between infrastructure and laid-back isolation but it used to be more adventurous place back then I believe. Its an amazing place for long stays but for me I go for rougher areas if I am looking for adventure. For comfort and long stays definitely Ko Lanta. Btw you look amazing and I can't wait to be back to get that perfect tan. Happy travels to the Philippines if that is where you are going next.

  38. Hi there
    Just watched your vlog.
    We are from Australia and planning a trip to Thailand with our three kids 17,15,10. We are going to stay at club med Phuket ( it’s so against my ideal place ) for all the inclusive activities to give my husband and I break. But really want a place to go as well to give them some traditional restaurant huts on the beach type thing, snorkeling , markets etc. This looks perfect. I think it was on my list like 20 years ago. Does anyone have any tips / activities they would recommend for teens? Thinking maybe 4-5 nights then the same in Phuket

  41. I totally get how you were hooked on Lanta, it's a paradise for me. I stayed at Sayang Beach resort about 10mins by taxi bike from Sala'dan. Amazing beach, amazing people, amazing food, and sunsets to die for. What's not to Love. It puts the UK to shame.

  45. Hey Amie, Last time I was in Ko Lanta was late 2004, actually proposed to my wife there! Was thinking of going back with friends, and was hoping that it hadn't lost the chilled vibe that it had back then. Looks like it is still nice and chilled out. Thanks for the vid.

  47. Hiya, Amie!
    Like the others here, your vlogs are far superior to any other. Your natural charm, and fuss-free, honesty, just draws you in. Sadly, I'm one of those "old farts" that you briefly referred to, LOL, I'm 55, going on 30. I've been traveling the globe for decades, alone, primarily because I'm single, and my friends are either married, still have kids at home, or don't have the means to travel at leisure. I'm heading from Los Angeles to Koh Santa, for 6 nights, and then flying back to BKK to fly to Bali for 6 nights. Your style of travel is identical to my own, and I'm wondering if you have any suggestions for Bali, if you've been. Anyway, if you haven't already been approached to do professional travel shows, you should be. Give Condé Nast a ring. 🙂
