koh tao: beach days, snorkelling + reuniting with uk friends | solo southeast asia travel diaries ☾

the lost files chapter officially ends here - from this point on, I have every bit of footage, no more piecing things back together 🌏 koh tao also marked something else: meeting my friend Harriet, who flew out from the UK and joined me in the south of thailand after spending two weeks exploring the north on her own. we'd planned this moment for months, and somehow it felt just as exciting in person as it did when we were planning it from opposite ends of the world. it was strange (in the best way) going from months of solo travel to suddenly having a familiar face beside me - though I still found pockets of solo time I loved just as much. we spent our days hopping between beaches and viewpoints, I went on a snorkelling trip while Harriet went free diving, and our nights were spent exploring koh tao's nightlife and just being two great friends, on the other side of the world, together. so here's koh tao - sun, salt, and finally, a friend in frame 🏝️ filmed in June 2025. 00:00 - intro00:08 - day 1 01:03 - day 2 01:55 - day 3 04:11 - day 4 05:49 - day 5 07:24 - day 6 ────────────────────────────── FIND ME HERE: ► Instagram:   / serenarichellex   ► TikTok:   / serenarichelle   ► Instagram:   / explorewithsez   ► TikTok:   / explorewithsez   📩 [email protected] 📩 [email protected] ────────────────────────────── If you enjoy this style of travel storytelling, please like, comment and subscribe - it helps more people find these videos, and means the world to me.
