My Favourite Youtubers!

Hey there guys!

It has been 11 days since I last uploaded a blog post. Just so you know, I'm working on a new project for my Youtube channel and some day job stuffs that's why I'm a lil tight up. Nevertheless, I do what I do best everyday when I'm off work which is YOUTUBE! 

No shame to admit that I Youtube a lot! I love watching vlogs and funny videos on Youtube to let some steam off. I could spend hours watching videos of Youtubers I've subscribed as they would upload vlogs and videos daily.

You may be wondering whose videos do I watch that I could do it daily without getting bored. Here are 8 of my favourite Youtubers! Watching their videos inspires me to make my own videos and share it on Youtube too. Oh, I've uploaded several videos on my channel for the past 4 months since I've started blogging. If you haven't seen it yet, do check it out! :)

1) Pewdiepie

Call me childish for watching gaming videos, I don't care! I just love his videos. I could watch his videos and laugh like no one's watching! He's the world's most subscribed Youtuber! I just love watching him rage, flip out and go berserk whenever he fails attempts numerous times. He plays and reviews games for a living. It might sound amusing and fun but trust me, it is exhausting especially when it comes to editting. So check out Pewdiepie's channel.


2) BFvsGF / Prank vs Prank

The creator of "DOPE FRESH NATION!". It started off when the boyfriend (Jesse) did a prank on his girlfriend (Jeana) and recorded it on video. Jeana then retaliate with a series of revenges and the war goes on gathering them millions of subscribers. Their prank videos are hilarious! I've watched all of the prank videos. ALL! I also watch their daily vlogs just to make me feel as if I'm there in the United States. Recently, they went on a Contiki Roadtrip to South East Asia, so be sure to check out BFvsGF's channel!


3) FunForLouis

Louis is a traveller from the UK. He started off with his first channel 'Food for Louis' where he gained his fame through filming eating stunts. Louis is now a vlogger on 'Fun for Louis' recording his daily life as well as his world travels. I watch his vlogs because I wanna see stuffs I have yet to see and can't be seen in Malaysia. He also went on a Contiki Roadtrip along side Jesse and Jeana. Check out FunForLouis's channel here!


4) Just Kidding News / Just Kidding Party

I've been a fan of Just Kidding Films for a while now. They have a few channels consisting of Just Kidding Films, Just Kidding Party, Just Kidding Gamers and Just Kidding News. I would say I like Just Kidding News the best. It is where a bunch of friends sitting on a table giving reviews and opinions of trending / weird news. They would Invite other Youtubers like David So to join them in their episodes. If you're up for vulgarities and hilarious jokes, you should definitely check them out.
Visit Just Kidding News's channel!


5) fouseyTUBE

My favourite prankster! Yousef Saleh Erakat who is an Arab Palestinian - American. His pranks are off the charts! Have you watched the Mortal Kombat Elevator pranks? If you haven't, you should! I've watched all his pranks and I'm not stopping anytime soon. He also does social experiments which would teach you the purpose and morale of life. I appreciate his efforts and I just love watching his videos. Oh, he has a few channel which includes his vlogging channel too. He faced severe depression before and how he overcomes the depression is an inspiration. Start checking out Yousef's channels!


6) Vitalyzdtv

I just love watching prank videos. Have you heard of a guy who ran across the football field during the final match of FIFA 2014? He's the guy. Yousef's the one recording. HAHA! Daring indeed, balls of steel that's what he has. I can't get enough of his pranks! Pure exhiliration and awesomeness. Check out Vitaly's channel here!


7) RomanAtwood
Pranks pranks pranks pranks. Nope, I won't stop watching prank videos. I've watched all his pranks and I have to say, LEGIT. I occasionaly watch his vlogs too. So if you're up for more laughters, check out Roman's channel!


8) Mark Weins

Last but not least, for some reason, I like watching Mark's reviews on Thai food as well as his travel vlogs. He is also a blogger at Migrationology.com. Like I've said, I like watching travel vlogs. Another reason is because his videos made me feel closer to Thailand. I'm not from Thailand but I just miss Thailand haha! I could watch his videos for hours and hours. So be sure to check out Mark Weins's blog and Youtube channel.

That's a wrap peeps! I've listed my 8 favourite Youtubers. If you've subscribed to half of the Youtubers I've listed, YAY! We're almost half twins. Leave a comment if you have something in mind. Don't forget to check out my Youtube channel too!

Stay tuned for my upcoming Youtube project as it'll be up in a couple more days. As always, thanks for reading my blog, be nasty and stay happy! Cheers!

Scooter-ing in Karon!

What's up!

The final part of my Phuket's trilogy is finally done! You can check out the other two parts of the trilogy here, Beach-ing in Patong (part 1) and Scooter-ing in Patong (part 2). If you're new to my blog, just so you know, I publish new post once or twice a week. So be sure to subscribe to our newsletter!

In 2013, Steph and I went to Phuket, Thailand for the second time. The sea, sun and sand are reasons we fell in love with Phuket so much. All the pictures in this post were taken using Samsung Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy S4 as we decided to travel light :)

Instead of staying in Patong, we stayed in Karon which is approximately 15-20 minutes scooter ride uphill from Patong. As usual, Agoda.com hooked us up to the amazing Secret Cliff Resort & Restaurant Phuket! Look no further as they have sea view jacuzzi suites, swimming pool, spa and more! We have to rate them a 10/10. Check out their website for more pictures and offers!




They have a restaurant and bar as well as a "hut" bar called Coco Pizza. If you're craving for some italian styled pizzas and cheeses, head on to Coco Pizza! 



If you're planning on renting a scooter, Secret Cliff Resort provides rental services. It's much safer too in terms of security deposits. You'll have to hand in your passport as a security deposit. Personally, I think it's much safer to leave my passport with the hotel instead of handing it over to an outsider. Also, yes, we went to Jungceylon again! :)


Karon beach is a 15 minutes scooter ride downhill from Secret Cliff Resort and probably 30 minutes away from Patong. If you're looking for a less populated beach, Karon or Kata beach is the place to be. The sand on Karon beach is unique because it makes a squeaking sound each time you take a footstep. Seriously! Also, be sure to bring along your national driving license along as you might face a roadblock just like we did. Luckily, I brought my license with me. 

There'll be a lot of activities offered by vendors on the beach such as, jet skiing, para sailing, banana boat and more. I tried out the para sailing and it was fun! Steph bailed out last minute due to her fear of heights :/

Psssttt! Avoid taking Tuk Tuks as their charges will rip you off. We paid 300 baht a day for our scooter. A Tuk Tuk would charge you at least 200 baht per ride! You do the math. Correct me if I'm wrong but this was purely based on our experience.






Karon is a small and peaceful town where you'll see lesser cars and population. So what's in Karon? KARON PLAZA! This is the right place for shoppers. Here, your bargain skills should be put to test if you know what I mean. 

There are tons of other stuffs in Karon too, restaurants, massage parlours, tattoo parlours, hotels, convenience store, currency exchange booths, markets and more. Be sure to get yourself a raincoat just in case if it rains. Raincoats are available in every 7-eleven or other convenience store.







Last but not least, we made time to go to the busy and bustling Patong! We visited the Patong Otop Shopping Paradise! You'll find yourself surrounded by "hut" bars while shopping your way through Patong Otop. You'll find a shop filled with HELLO KITTY'S merchandises, reggae/rasta's accessories shop as well as Hard Rock Cafe! 








I've finally reached the end of my Phuket's trilogy. I thank you so much for supporting and visiting my blog! I'll be uploading a new Youtube video and a blog post next week so stay tuned for more! Do follow us on Facebook and Instagram. Subscribe to our newsletter and Youtube channel too!

As always, be nasty stay happy! :)

Scooter-ing in Patong!

Hey there!

Have you seen my previous post on Beach-ing in Patong, Phuket? This is the continuation of that post. I'm trying to come up with an epic trilogy where it'll consist of "Beach-ing in Patong, Scooter-ing in Patong and Scooter-ing in Karon". All the pictures in this post was from my first trip to Phuket. Yes, I was bald, slimmer and stones lighter back then.

Navigating your way through Patong on a scooter is very easy. I've been to Phuket twice and scooter is my favourite mode of transportation here. I'm getting used to Patong and Karon that I don't need a navigation system. Seriously, it's worth a try. 

I have to be frank, I've never rode a scooter before. I was so hyped when I tried it out. It was shaky at first. After a few rounds of warm up, I'm like a stallion on steroid on a scooter haha! Once you've got your scooter, make a few rounds and turns to warm yourself up. Oh! Steph met a super cute and chubby baby.


So, how do you get a scooter? Rental services are everywhere in Phuket. You can even rent a car! There are various sizes of scooters to choose from and the price ranges from 8 to 15 USD or 30-50 MYR or 300 - 450 THB per day. I would recommend you to rent it from your hotel. You are also required to hand over your passport as a deposit. You might feel insecure about this. So check out my post on Travel Safe to learn more on how to keep yourself safe while travelling. 

Next step is to get a phone and internet line. I recommend AIS. They have various packages for travellers where you'll get unlimited internet access at a very affordable price. It is also convenient to reload your phone's credit as you can get AIS's prepaid card in every 7 Eleven. Trust me, it'll come in handy. :)

During our first trip to Patong, we stayed at Sea Sun Sand Resort & Spa. The resort is EPIC. Convenient, luxurious, relaxing and clean! Swimming pools are everywhere.
 



We spent most of our time Island hopping and beach-ing instead of going around shopping. However, we did manage to drop by to a few places. Jungceylon was one of the places we went. It is a mall located probably 15 minutes scooter ride from our hotel. There are lots of shops here. Take a break from beach-ing and visit Jungceylon! There's a supermarket, restaurants and plenty of sight seeing can be done. 




Tiger Hotel Patong
If you're a night life enthusiast and a party goer, there's a place famously known as Bangla Road or Soi Bangla. You'll find yourself surrounded with clubs and bars. Pirates bar, Moulin Rouge bar and many more! Strip shows are common here and also known as AGO-GO. You'll be offered by tons of ladies inviting you to drink at their bar or clubs. 

In this case, always stay safe and make sure you have your belonging kept with you at all times. Also, there are a lots of scammers. Be sure to avoid falling into their trap especially in an AGO-GO bar. Other than that, you're in for a big ride pal :)


Street dance crew
We also went to Banzaan Fresh Market. I remembered googling "Places to visit in Patong" and Banzaan came on. So we ended waking up early in the morning and headed to Banzaan on our awesome scooter. If you're lucky, you'll get to see monks dropping by to each stall in the market to pray for them. Just so you know, monks in Thailand are highly respected. 

What's to see in the market? Sorry we got too consumed by various vibrant and fresh vegetables, fruits as well as flowers. So we totally forgot to take pictures which we should have. Heh.

Oh oh oh, street food! It is a must. You gotta' give it a try at least once. They're cheap and delicious!





Well, that's all I have for this post. I promise you, there'll be more fun and exciting pictures in the next post on "Scooter-ing in Karon". Stay tuned for the third chapter of our Phuket's trilogy!
