Fresh out of ASQ quarantine in Bangkok, Dave travels to Koh Samui during COVID and shares every step: a taxi that broke down, an eerily empty airport, a scooter rental on arrival, and an amazing hotel on Crystal Bay Beach with a price that begs the question, your hotel costs how much?
Leaving Quarantine Behind
The video picks up as Dave leaves his ASQ quarantine hotel in Bangkok, finally free to travel within Thailand. His destination is Koh Samui, and the journey itself provides plenty of material, starting with a taxi that broke down along the way.
An Empty Airport
Flying during COVID meant airports like Bangkok's were operating at a fraction of normal capacity, and Dave shows the empty terminals on his way to Koh Samui. For viewers who only know Thailand's airports as crowded hubs, the footage is a striking time capsule of 2021 travel.
About This Visit
On reaching Koh Samui, Dave arranges a scooter rental and stays at a hotel on Crystal Bay Beach. The low price discussed belongs to that pandemic-period trip; this page does not display live room rates.
