This happens. That's keep you from your dreams. Spent your time drunk and always— All right, so we made it to Thailand. Uh, you guys grilled me in the last video for Thailand, right? I'm working on my THs, all right? Go easy on me. Anyways, we just had the craziest journey ever, but I'm delighted to be in a nice clean room. So let me give you a quick tour of the place. Bathroom, sink, super clean. Little couch and leaf table. Very, very pretty. Uh, king-size bed, widescreen TV, minibar, safe, and then it's my view just out there. Pretty cool, as Max Tuning would say. Stop it! Joe's got ticklish feet apparently. So yeah, after a long day traveling, we're gonna get, uh, some foot massages.
Level.
Getting tanned in the dark. Uh, so yeah, catch you guys tomorrow. That bed was absolutely amazing. What a day. Let's go wake up Joe. About time you bed land. The day is nearly over. Come on, let's do it. Yes, checked off for a day. Yeah, let's seize the day.
Okay, let's do it.
I'll show you. Well, are we on gym?
Just sort me out. And it's just time for a match. Big piece.
All right, so we're getting the day started. We are getting pre-workout in the form of an iced coffee from KFC. Should be interesting. But yeah, so the plan for today is, right, um, it's our first full day here. We're like well slept, ready to go, okay? So we're gonna get a savage workout in in this sweaty Thai gym, and then we're gonna rent some mopeds or some quads, and we're gonna go explore the island. And we've actually got a list of viewpoints that we want to go to and that we want to bring you guys to. So it's gonna be a super cool vlog. Let's get cracking. How excited are you?
I'm a 10, man. I wish it was more than 10 so I could say like something else.
You are a maths graduate, so that would be disrespectful if you said that.
Illogical. It's this Heidi though, unreal, man.
That's so good.
It actually is.
It is packed full of sugar and you can taste it, but like, let's not lie and say that isn't absolutely delicious. Hopefully this gives us some sort of extraterrestrial bone. All right, let's go work out. Okay, so there it is, Samui Fitness. It's that blue building behind me. I already know I'm gonna like this gym, like just the look of it. It's going to be so sweaty. I've been used to training in the cold at the moment, so it's going to be delightful. And some more pre-workout, some more caffeine. And apparently, right, I want to be energy during Actually, okay, apparently Lipo Plus means like fat loss, like liposuction. So, you know, maybe I'm hoping this stuff will make us get shredded and have a good workout. But yeah, either way, okay, wait, which one do you want?
Um, that one looks too medical, so I'll take that one.
Right, I'll have the medical then.
Okay.
All right, full body session about to go down with a bit more of a focus on legs because that's the type of guys that we are. We travel, get out the way, and we hit bags. We are your heroes. Alright, so workout done. Felt good, but it was very, very hot indeed. Definitely dropped about a pound of water there. One thing, right, it's my first time in Koh Samui and the food scene is actually ridiculous. Like it's surprisingly good. I remember I went to Thailand with a bunch of lads about 4 or 5 years ago, and like you couldn't get like a high protein kind of healthy meal anywhere. And here it's just like everywhere, it's like protein smoothies on the street. And we had this really lean sashimi last night, I think I'm gonna get that again. But yeah, food scene here is awesome, and uh, I actually think we're gonna come back in better shape. This is the place we found, right? And I swear to God, it's just as good, if not better, than Whole Foods in America. And any OG subs that watch me regularly will know that's my favorite shop of all time. But this— check this, look! Are you in heaven?
That's got my name on it.
Scenes.
Otherwise, you just get tuna or get tuna and salmon. I'm gonna get both.
Yeah, I'm gonna get that, that mix as well. Thank you, kind sir. Not all heroes wear capes. That is our idea of having like— we were genuinely talking about moving to Thailand.
Like, there's way more here. Oh, serious one.
Yeah.
All right, why don't we get a sashimi each and share?
Yeah, good call, good call. Genius. This is honestly the life. So we're just about to sit down and have full-on sushi dinner and sashimi. Like, look how much protein's in that.
In a lot, mate.
So we're about to dig in this after the whole supermarket just literally joined in on Joe's vlog. Go check out his channel and his video if you want to see that. And it really is the land of smiles. Like, we did that in the UK or Ireland, we'd get a nice Punch in the face. Right, post-workout meal, smash it, and I'll catch you later.
Oh shit, forks.
Like, I'll run up and get them. Now enjoy this time lapse of me and Joe eating sushi, getting physically bigger. Randomo bed sound. Room number?
31012. Oh, 31021.
Pop in.
Okay, yeah, all right.
What are you going to call your moped?
I'm going to call it Bertha.
I'm going to call mine Patsy.
Patsy.
Two weak names, Bertha and Patsy. That's what they look like though.
Yeah, they do. Big asses.
Shout out to Bertha and Patsy, we're having big Glasses, where do you get this shit from?
Yes!
All right, so here's the update. Stop for more coffee, standard. And now we're just planning out the day and we are going to go to something called Silver Beach, right? We looked up some reviews, some other travel bloggers and they said it's one of the best spots. So we just loaded up on Google Maps because Wi-Fi is so scarce here, but that's good. We were saying like we need to back off our phones for a while and it's actually like it gives you good headspace doing that. So we're just going to load up Google Maps and then cut the Wi-Fi off, but it'll stay loaded. And then, uh, yeah, make our way. Look at our mopeds, how glorious they are. Feels good to just ride around Thailand again on a moped. It's always been a long-term goal of mine to have Shred Bundy oiling me up on the holiday in Thailand. Yeah, yeah, feel the lower lat there and tell me, tell me how it's going. All right, let's go. All right, quick little view break to get some Instagram pictures. Check that out. Feels good to see a blue ocean again. So now we are going to resume our little road trip, and we are 5 minutes away from Silver Beach. Let's go! Alright, Silver Beach, here we go! Go on, do you even lift?
I fucking do.
Yes!
I'll be in that, because like a 3 stone Thai woman did it before.
Right people, so something, uh, very kind of Thai. I remember I gotta stop saying Thai. Something very Thai. I remember I had this when I was here a couple years ago, so when I saw it in the menu, had to snap it up. It is Chicken and rice in a pineapple. What are they gonna think of next? Um, but it's so good. Like, the pineapple just gives it this amazing flavor. And again, it's pretty like macro-friendly, you know, put a protein in there. So yeah, I can dig into this now. And then what did we order? We ordered some greens as well. They're not worth showing. Yo, what's going on, people? So update on the vlog, I went and got my fade topped up and Joe did some work on his laptop, and now It's Saturday night in Koh Samui, right? And we were like, hey, yeah, you know, we'll go to Thailand and we'll, you know, we'll live the clean life and, you know, we'll do this, uh, you know, New Horizons Escape, we'll do the fitness coaching, everything, you know, real fitness time. It's Saturday night in Koh Samui, we can't miss out on that. So, uh, we're gonna go and take it easy. I always say that. We're gonna go take it easy and see what happens. But yeah, so I'll probably show you a few clips from the kind of main area now. Also, what are you saying? So a little bit of beard growth. Tonight I am just wearing an Alphalete vest, which link is always in the description box. My favorite clothes, gym and lifestyle clothes, and then some chino shorts as well. It's kind of see a little bit better there. I love the way in Thailand— Thailand, Thailand— I love that in Thailand you can just wear whatever you want on a night out, whatever feels good. So before we go on our night out we came across this night market and oh man, the vibe here is unbelievable. There's like food that we've never seen before. Check out how fresh this sushi is. You can tell we're addicted to sushi at this stage. Someone playing like Nirvana on a guitar over there, just like kids dancing in the square. It's just a good vibe in general. So now we're gonna go down, we're gonna hit up a couple bars and have a good old classic Thai bucket, right? If you know what a Thai bucket is, Or if you don't know what a Thai bucket is, then you're in trouble.
We're rolling.
All right, so we are in the Ark Bar, the infamous Ark Bar. So I got an Ark Bar special right now. I haven't had a bucket in so many years. So cheers, thank you very much.
Perfect. Thanks.
So I haven't had a bucket in so many years. So first impressions, right? Bring back good memories.
Hit me with it.
I love how like alcohol is a regular Big Strongest Fitness channel. Goes down easy. Is it good? Yeah, goes down so easy. It's like coconut, it's like a piña colada but not so creamy. Strong, but like you don't taste it. Kamikaze.
Mine's blue because it's got blue curaçao in it.
Your theme song just came on. How is Is it?
Oh yeah, it's stronger than I imagined, but yeah, yeah, I thought we were just going to get cocoa, like, it's heavy.
Tiny one is all you need.
Yeah, well, hopefully.
It would be— oh, something— oh, he's recording. It has to make the cut. Okay, all right, over and out.
See you later.
Good night.
It's been fun.
It's been fun. It's been an emotional roller coaster as always.
Don't drink Thai buckets, or do, whatever you want. Depends if you care about your well-being.
We're back on the fitness hype tomorrow though, right?
Fitness.
You do fitness. No, what's our classic line? I partake in fitness.
I partake in fitness.
Over and out.
