00:06I think I left the key in the room.
00:14This is like really unexpected. It kind of feels like it's in the middle of nowhere.
00:18It feels like somewhere in like Tulum, Mexico or Canggu or something.
00:22How was that?
00:33Run away, run away, run away
00:39I love you.
01:21Alright, we made it!
01:35Well, let's look, that whole boat ride, that was amazing.
01:39She's killing it.
01:46Okay, let's see if our car is still here.
01:48I think I see it.
01:49See it.
01:50Hopefully everything is still in it.
01:51Oh, there's a cute puppy with a jacket on.
01:57Alright.
01:58I think I left the key in the room.
02:00No, you didn't.
02:01Oh my god.
02:04Don't do that to me.
02:07There we go there.
02:13Feels like we were just completely out of civilization.
02:19Yeah, for a very long time.
02:21Felt like a long time, didn't it?
02:23I don't think you need more than that out there.
02:25And most people were only out there for a night, we noticed.
02:28Yeah, I think we were the only ones who stayed two nights.
02:32Which is kind of surprising because it's like a bit of a trek to get out here.
02:36And then a boat ride and everything.
02:37Like, you get there, you have something to eat, you chill out, and then you go to bed,
02:42and then you go to get up and leave in the morning.
02:44Yeah.
02:45Definitely felt like we needed that though.
02:49Yeah.
02:49Got one, car.
02:52Bye-bye.
03:18Just pulled into 7-Eleven to get some drinks and snacks.
03:21And they had an interesting sign that said no alcohol sales today due to the general election.
03:28So I have noticed there's signs everywhere for the Thai election that's going on.
03:33And I guess no one's allowed to drink during the election.
03:36Maybe they don't want drunk people voting.
03:38That's probably a good thing.
03:39That's smart.
03:40Not sure why else it would be.
03:42Thailand has some funny rules when it comes to alcohol bans.
03:45Like certain times of the day and certain days of the year.
03:48You just cannot buy alcohol anyway.
04:03Never seen that much timber on one truck.
04:07The Thai would figure out a way to do anything.
04:09We're nearly there.
04:10We're about 25 minutes away.
04:13We're just going to stop for a quick coffee break with the boat ride and the drive combined.
04:17It's been about 4 hours.
04:29It looks like we're just pulling up to the Airbnb.
04:33Which is a part of a cafe called Minute Beach Cafe.
04:38So I guess I can see the beach from here.
04:41I think it's just a little like room that's detached from this cafe.
04:46Wow it looks pretty cool hey.
04:48I don't really know what to expect though because we booked this last minute just for one night.
04:55Doesn't look like there's much here.
04:58Let's go check it out I guess.
04:59Okay guys before we show you this absolutely epic Airbnb on the beach in Surat Thani.
05:05We need to share with you our number one travel tip for 2025.
05:10There's absolutely no way we could be exploring some of these remote destinations on our road trip without having internet
05:17connection.
05:17And that's why we've been using Olafly eSims for over 3 years now since we left Australia back in 2021.
05:23So if you're traveling overseas and you value your time and money then you need to get yourself an Olafly
05:29eSims.
05:30And that's because Olafly offers international eSims cards for over 220 destinations worldwide.
05:37If you've ever gone overseas and use international roaming then you would know you can easily rack up a telephone
05:43bill in the hundreds if not thousands by the time you get home.
05:47And trust me from experience the last thing you want to be doing when you get off the plane on
05:51your holiday
05:52is go around searching for a data or SIM card provider in that local country.
05:56We actually use the Asia SIM card while we're here in Thailand because if we ever decide to go on
06:02a spur of the moment trip
06:03like we did like this time last year to Vietnam we don't even have to change our eSIM package.
06:08We can just use the one package that covers all of the countries in Southeast Asia.
06:13And also when we're staying in remote locations like this Airbnb now on the beach that honestly didn't have the
06:19greatest Wi-Fi
06:19and we need to get caught up on some work stuff.
06:21We can actually tether our computers to our Olafly eSims so we can get caught up on some of our
06:26important work while we're traveling.
06:29Olafly has heaps of different package options ranging from 1 to 90 days including the unlimited data to 200 and
06:36plus destinations worldwide
06:38as well as a flexible six month money back guarantee.
06:42So guys don't waste any more time before you head off on your next trip.
06:45Make sure you grab yourself an Olafly eSims and use our affiliate code down in the description and in the
06:52pinned comment.
06:52And don't forget to use code Lloyd and Mandy to get 5% off your eSims.
06:56Okay, let's get back to the video.
07:12This actually looks sick.
07:15I can't wait to spend 24 hours here.
07:18What a cool little spot.
07:24This is like really unexpected.
07:26It kind of feels like it's in the middle of nowhere.
07:28Oh wow.
07:30That's a cool beach right there.
07:49It's beautiful.
07:52There's so many dogs.
08:02It's beautiful.
08:06There's so many dogs.
08:13Oh my God.
08:16See you.
08:25Wow.
08:26What great hospitality.
08:27As soon as we walked in, everyone was just swarming to hold Lila and it was super nice.
08:34We just had an amazing pad thai.
08:36This place feels like, it feels like somewhere in like Tulum, Mexico or Canggu or something.
08:42Really kind of surprising because it's so out of the way.
08:45But the room is like very stylish and well done and it's like got really cool vibes here.
08:52I think we're going to see a really nice sunset.
08:55And she said this bright blue, I think they call them plantain or plankton.
08:59I think it's plankton.
09:00Like the Evanescence.
09:02Tonight, they should come out.
09:04So that'd be cool if we can capture that.
09:06But for now, I think we're going to have a lay down, maybe a little nap until dinner and then
09:12we'll watch the sunset.
09:19We were just talking earlier about how weird it feels that we're back traveling, doing the same thing we were
09:26doing for the last three years.
09:28But now with a baby.
09:31It's so much more fun.
09:33It feels so much more purposeful and we're like collecting memories rather than just like aimlessly wandering.
09:42So far, it's definitely a lot less stressful than what we thought.
09:46It was really about the sleep, I think.
09:48Like she was going to be fussy and not be able to sleep in different places and in the car
09:52and stuff like that.
09:53But I don't know, a week in, fingers crossed, it stays this way.
09:57We really missed traveling.
09:59Like we spent basically all of last year just in Hawaii and not doing anything.
10:02And I think we got a little bit antsy, a little bit anxious.
10:05Wouldn't say depressed, but like definitely got itchy feet.
10:08Yeah, this is just our thing.
10:10We love, we thrive in this.
10:12We love moving around.
10:14So I think it will always just be something that we, yeah, prioritize.
10:18We're on the road for about three and a half weeks in total.
10:21And I'm sure by the time three and a half weeks comes up, we'll probably be ready to go home
10:25and just rest and be in our own beds and cook some food and have a nice bath in the
10:30gym and all of our luxuries at home.
10:32But at the moment it feels pretty good to be traveling again with a baby.
10:36You want to get some dinner?
10:37Yeah.
10:51Uh, Lloyd's too tall for Asia.
10:54He's hit his head like six times since we've been here already.
11:18I have a Great 어려weather and also gets a fifth show where one of my youngereth you can llorysis or
11:19when I go out here.
11:19His seat is pretty tall for the ages of 11 since the averageEnd england, in 2014.
11:20It should have been midcast back you, it should have been onize.
11:20Now the other favorite rockies drop下's go.
11:22Can I get an BB set bead?
11:26May webически clean it up and into a ton?
11:28Oh, anyway.
11:30I'm sorry!
11:31It's beautiful!
11:32Can I buy some advertising?
