Seeing you on that motorcycle with the flag and you dancing brings back so many good memories of your travels in Thailand . Borneo seems so beautiful and relaxing and good on you doing that canopy walk it looked scary and the flowers 🌺 looked extremely interesting. I’ve been really enjoying watching the series I’m looking forward to seeing the next episode.
Currently binge-watching the start of your Borneo adventure Paddy! Busy time down here in Aus! But back into it, like you are on the roads once again. Great to see. Loved Borneo, such a beautiful place, and the people were just so wonderful and welcoming! 100 Plus is just perfect for those hot climates! Enjoy!
It's been a pleasure to see your growth and maturing perspectives since your early travel day's. Accepting challenges with a much more calm attitude. Statements like, " watching others being content fishing is good enough for me" says a lot about the character you've become.
You are like happy little kid when you up on the canopy and on the beach. I’m so glad I stumbled upon your videos! My hometown North Borneo is definitely a hidden paradise although I, myself never done the quite adventure you had there!! I can’t be bother to drive all over North Borneo too because of the road conditions. I just let my siblings or dad to drive around 😁. The rafflesia ?? It’s a dream of many of us! You got so lucky to see it in front of you. I never get a chance to see it yet.
Borneo looks stunning...I'd never thought of Borneo as a tourist destination, but it looks amazing. Great video Paddy but the canopy walk looked terrifying and exciting at the same time 😬👍
Paddy, welcome to Sabah! You are literally in the oldest rainforest jungle in the world! 130 millions! Two times older than amazon. Google the fact to believe it. I hope to you visit the forner tallest tropical tree in the world called Menara at Danum Valley where Prince William & Kate visited years ago. The richest rainforest in the entire Borneo is at Sabah because of the crocker range leading up to Mount Kinabalu where ypu can see the plants and trees change in altitude.
Hey Paddy! We were exactly where you are in Borneo 5 years ago & also saw a Raffleasia flower….just FYI, the flower only stays open for 5-7 days & flowers once every 5 years. I think there was a bit of a language barrier there! 😂
Jealous you got to see the Rafflesia! It actually grows in Thailand as well, but may be more common in Borneo. When I went to Khao Sok it was out of season. This series feels like vintage Paddy - love it!
I'm actually going there in a few months also to sarawak long house head hunter village and that huge flower trek watch out for leaches on the trek and the rafflesia flower
That flower... so weird and fascinating and strange! 😂 The canopy walk looked so cool... and a little terrifying. But more cool than scary. 😆😁 A preview of "the mountain".... looking forward to seeing her in all her glory!
@@PaddyDoyle., I think the lady misunderstood your questions about the Rafflesia. The buds take 9 months to mature and the bloom lasts roughly 5 days. It blooms maybe every year or every other year…
Rafflesia is the largest individual flower. Titan arum bears the largest inflorescence. Rafflesia is a parasite which attaches itself to a host plant, Tetrastigma vine, which grows only in undisturbed rainforests, to obtain water and nutrients. * The genus Rafflesia is named after adventurer and founder of the British colony of Singapore, Sir Stamford Raffles. * Rafflesia is the official state flower of Sabah in Malaysia, as well as for the Surat Thani Province, Thailand. * Rafflesia flowers are unisexual. * Forest mammals and tree shrews feed on Rafflesia fruit which is 15cm in diameter, filled with smooth flesh and thousands of tiny hard coated seeds. * The rotten smell of the flower is due to the reddish tentacle-like, branched ramentae, inside the corolla of petals. * Rafflesia is an endangered or threatened genus. * Rafflesia arnoldii does not have chlorophyll, as all the green plants have and so it cannot undergo photosynthesis.
the Rafflesia Flower only bloom for its final day that around 5-6 days. but takes 9 months to mature. it so rare that some local can't even had a chance to see the flower bloom
When we were visiting one of the many Rafflesia Gardens in Sabah a few months back, the owner cum our guide, bringing us along and explaining about the flowers.. there were quite a number of them in his garden. And the Rafflesia actually bloom for a few days only (not 5 months as the lady told you).. Enjoy your trip in Borneo 😊..
Paddy looks like you got the drone fixed. Hope the weather clears up so we get those epic drone shots that we all have become accustomed to. Was kind of hoping you would take a crack at surfing.
Good on you Paddy! That canopy walk bridge looked terrifying! Glad you got to warm up and get dry! Milo is a drink we all grew up with here in Australia ..
The canopy walk looked amazing. Shame about the weather. When we stayed in Khao Sok National Park, Thailand in 2008, we did a hike with a local tour and was lucky enough to see Rafflesia flower 😊
Getting a beer is always a challenge in Malaysia apart from cities with Chinese (or other non-muslim) population and tourist hotspots. But good for detoxifying your liver. And the drink to get instead is teh tarik.
So happy to see you back on a proto-dreamy again!! Loving your travel vlogs on the road, very reminiscent of the 77-Thailand days! I am Heading back to Thailand next month, can't wait to explore more of that unique and truly wonderful place
@keangwooichoo6138 I remember needing a guide, but I don't think it was too expensive, especially split between a group of 6. Guessing prices have increased dramatically since I was there in the late 90s.
@highbrand according to American youtubers "trifate" who recently visited kk. He asked and it was 500 usd. They could not afford it being young youtubers. Yes need a guide and you go in a group can split the cost.
Hiya. Paddy. Love the new intro for this series. I forgot to mention that before. Shame about Britney. Hear that name, and it makes me think of Will and Jose. Good breakfast to start your day. A long ride. I bet you were aching. Bless ya. Beautiful drone footage. A gorgeous place to stay. Beautiful. And who would not want a beer sitting there on a beautiful evening?. I know I would. Gorgeous beach. You are a master of drone footage and just footage in general. Getting those shots. Seeing you dancing always makes me think of the petrol pump rave. 555. Love it. Wow. The flower. Gorgeous trees. I could not do that canopy walk. Those bridges. My legs went funny watching you. Yes. A beautiful, scary experience. Gorgeous footage. Love the clouds. Another perfect place to stay, with stunning views. Lovely video. I can not wait for the next one. Have a great day, Paddy. Thank you.
No... 14:53 She didn't understand you. That parasitic flower bud actually takes 9 months to grow to maturity before it blooms and it will last for like 5 to 6 days.
The large flower you saw us called Rafflesia. It does not have any trunk nor any leaves. A parasitic flower which grows on a specific vine/root on the ground.
Gorgeous video Paddy, i like Borneo so far, the nature and flower is just stunning ! Thank you, i love your explorings and happy mood despite the not so amazing weather - you are brave ! 🙌👍😍i have been on holidays in the Swiss Alps, and now ended up in Borneo with you Lol !
Not sure if the lady gave you the right info. Raffleasia flower usually takes about nine months to bloom and it can only last for a week. And they can also be found not only in Borneo but in few other states in Malaysia such as Kelantan, Pahang, Perak (Royal Belum state park) and Terengganu. You should consider yourself very lucky to be able to see one in full bloom. Have fun in Sabah, mate.
You dancing on this road reminded me of your old Thailand 70 provinces road-trip, on the hilly roads of North Thailand. Keep on moving, we always learn something new with Next Level Adventures! 😁
You are a superstar at inspiring people to travel...I love your content.Remember day 1 in the UK though...finding the courage to start ...If I were you I'd focus on that more...How do you get from a boring job to freedom.I've done it already...no agenda just a suggestion.
The flower stays open for roughly 1 week. So u r lucky got to see them in full bloom. The person meant to say 9 days bt shes not really fluent in eng so theres a misscomunication 😊
to your audience, i would highly recommend comedian steve martin’s 1984 movie “the lonely guy”. it helps give deeper understanding to paddy’s emotions on these adventures “going it alone”.
Its kind of funny, RUclips just served me the video about how he doesn't want to advertise on this channel, and then this video next, where there is an ad :)
If I were you, Paddy, while walking around I would ditch the jacket. I learned the hard way during rainy season in Japan back in 1986. It is often so hot and humid in Asia during the monsoon season that wearing a rain jacket is pointless. You'll be just as wet inside from the heat and humidity as if you weren't wearing a jacket at all.
Try BEEF RENDANG Paddy.. iconic Malay/Indo dish. Different types different areas but look for the dry rendang.. I'm sure you must have come across it in your travels. Its amazing! Cheers
Thanks for watching!

Borneo is def on the bucket list
Welcome to borneo
It’s alright..
Seeing you on that motorcycle with the flag and you dancing brings back so many good memories of your travels in Thailand . Borneo seems so beautiful and relaxing and good on you doing that canopy walk it looked scary and the flowers 🌺 looked extremely interesting. I’ve been really enjoying watching the series I’m looking forward to seeing the next episode.
Oh yes! ❤🎉❤
Currently binge-watching the start of your Borneo adventure Paddy! Busy time down here in Aus! But back into it, like you are on the roads once again. Great to see. Loved Borneo, such a beautiful place, and the people were just so wonderful and welcoming!
100 Plus is just perfect for those hot climates! Enjoy!
The Rafflesia that you witnessed, was just a baby. An adult would be so much bigger. It can grow bigger than 3 feet across. Great vlog
It's been a pleasure to see your growth and maturing perspectives since your early travel day's. Accepting challenges with a much more calm attitude. Statements like, " watching others being content fishing is good enough for me" says a lot about the character you've become.
I enjoy a lot this Borneo series, it's so underrated and worth to be known.
I was so glad you got to see a Rafflesia. When we were in Borneo, nobody knew of one in bloom. You're braver than me for doing the canopy walk.
Yeah I was very lucky it was blooming 😮
Very rare to see full bloom
Rafflesia also found in some part of indonesia ，Sumatra and Kalimantan
Thanks
Wow thanks 🙏
You are like happy little kid when you up on the canopy and on the beach. I’m so glad I stumbled upon your videos! My hometown North Borneo is definitely a hidden paradise although I, myself never done the quite adventure you had there!!

Borneo looks stunning...I'd never thought of Borneo as a tourist destination, but it looks amazing. Great video Paddy but the canopy walk looked terrifying and exciting at the same time 😬👍
Yeah Borneo has a lot of adventure ❤
Paddy only touched some small areas. He did not hike deep into the rain forest of danum, imbak and maliau.
Where do you think all the cute orangutans come from that tourists visit?
Welcome to Sabah Borneo Paddy, have a great time and enjoy your adventure here
Paddy, welcome to Sabah! You are literally in the oldest rainforest jungle in the world! 130 millions! Two times older than amazon. Google the fact to believe it. I hope to you visit the forner tallest tropical tree in the world called Menara at Danum Valley where Prince William & Kate visited years ago.
The richest rainforest in the entire Borneo is at Sabah because of the crocker range leading up to Mount Kinabalu where ypu can see the plants and trees change in altitude.
Sabah lowland is 140m years old
The crocker range blocked moisture from flowing to kalimantan from South China sea.
I have been to Malaysia a lot, but never to Borneo - this looks interesting, especially the canopy walk and views of mount Kinabalu. Cool.
Very good video, Paddy. I really enjoyed it. I must definitely visit Borneo.
Hey Paddy! We were exactly where you are in Borneo 5 years ago & also saw a Raffleasia flower….just FYI, the flower only stays open for 5-7 days & flowers once every 5 years. I think there was a bit of a language barrier there! 😂
Another Awesome Adventure Paddy Doyle 🙂Watching from New Brunswick CANADA🙂
Jealous you got to see the Rafflesia! It actually grows in Thailand as well, but may be more common in Borneo. When I went to Khao Sok it was out of season. This series feels like vintage Paddy - love it!
I'm actually going there in a few months also to sarawak long house head hunter village and that huge flower trek watch out for leaches on the trek and the rafflesia flower
I loved borneo, tot video brings me back❤
Amazing Paddy. I'm loving the growth you're getting on your channel & obviously your content. Congrats
That flower... so weird and fascinating and strange! 😂
The canopy walk looked so cool... and a little terrifying. But more cool than scary. 😆😁
A preview of "the mountain".... looking forward to seeing her in all her glory!
yeah what a wonderful flower but yeah super odd seeing that it smells of rotten flesh.....yuk!
@@PaddyDoyle. It's called Rafflesia

These are the video's we love the most. See you on a motorbike exploring the country. 🛵🤩

Awesome video I’ll be here in a few weeks i can’t wait
Thanks for sharing your skilled dance moves with us Paddy!! Another great video👍

Such a relaxing interesting video from our man Paddy.
Breathtaking drone view
Beautiful Borneo island Paddy.getting chill.n relax.
Yes Paddy , back on ya bike 🏍 good old times 😊
Yes indeed!
Rafflesia grows in Khao Sok in Thailand too apparently.
🙋hi Paddy, I haven't got the chance to tour around the Borneo though I'm a Malaysian.
Thank you for visualising this tour. I knew I'd love it.
Paddy looks like you got the drone fixed. Hope the weather clears up so we get those epic drone shots that we all have become accustomed to. Was kind of hoping you would take a crack at surfing.
Me and Surfing 🏄♀️ we don’t really get along anymore
Good on you Paddy! That canopy walk bridge looked terrifying! Glad you got to warm up and get dry! Milo is a drink we all grew up with here in Australia ..
Yes milo is australian. However, the largest milo factory is in malaysia lol
The canopy walk looked amazing. Shame about the weather. When we stayed in Khao Sok National Park, Thailand in 2008, we did a hike with a local tour and was lucky enough to see Rafflesia flower 😊
Getting a beer is always a challenge in Malaysia apart from cities with Chinese (or other non-muslim) population and tourist hotspots. But good for detoxifying your liver. And the drink to get instead is teh tarik.
Not when you are in sabah and sarawak!
So happy to see you back on a proto-dreamy again!! Loving your travel vlogs on the road, very reminiscent of the 77-Thailand days! I am Heading back to Thailand next month, can't wait to explore more of that unique and truly wonderful place
Should add Kuching and Mulu in Sarawak into you travel list
Wow that is an amazing canopy adventure❤
I have suspected and thought about it previously - through several years of watching him now - but Paddy has tremendous calves. Tremendous.
nice story telling and nice content.. keep up the good work
A nice hot cup of Milo is a great way to end the day. Looking foward to seeing the Mt Kinabalu climb at the end of the series.
For foreign tourists the cost can be high. About 450 - 500 usd ! 2 days hiking. Even for locals, it is considered expensive (for me)
@keangwooichoo6138 I remember needing a guide, but I don't think it was too expensive, especially split between a group of 6. Guessing prices have increased dramatically since I was there in the late 90s.
@highbrand according to American youtubers "trifate" who recently visited kk. He asked and it was 500 usd. They could not afford it being young youtubers. Yes need a guide and you go in a group can split the cost.
Hiya. Paddy.
Love the new intro for this series.
I forgot to mention that before.
Shame about Britney. Hear that name, and it makes me think of Will and Jose.
Good breakfast to start your day.
A long ride. I bet you were aching. Bless ya.
Beautiful drone footage. A gorgeous place to stay. Beautiful.
And who would not want a beer sitting there on a beautiful evening?. I know I would. Gorgeous beach. You are a master of drone footage and just footage in general. Getting those shots. Seeing you dancing always makes me think of the petrol pump rave. 555. Love it. Wow. The flower. Gorgeous trees. I could not do that canopy walk. Those bridges. My legs went funny watching you. Yes. A beautiful, scary experience. Gorgeous footage. Love the clouds. Another perfect place to stay, with stunning views. Lovely video. I can not wait for the next one. Have a great day, Paddy. Thank you.
Ah thanks Nicky 😅 have a beautiful day 😊
No... 14:53 She didn't understand you. That parasitic flower bud actually takes 9 months to grow to maturity before it blooms and it will last for like 5 to 6 days.
You have a way shooting your vlog to make diff and more interesting than others. Keep it up!
The flower can also be found in the Khao Sok national park Thailand.
You can find this flower in Khao Sok National Park ,Surat Thani, Thailand.I think you've been to Khao Sok couple years ago.
Here there is a species of snake flying from the top of the canopy
Can’t wait to see more mate.. promise me you’ll explore Peninsular Malaysia next on a bike. Promise u wont regret it
I miss Sabah...It's my 2nd home (Mum's Sabahan). On my bucket list, Danum Valley
been a few times love it
The large flower you saw us called Rafflesia. It does not have any trunk nor any leaves. A parasitic flower which grows on a specific vine/root on the ground.
Your videos are so so so good!!
Excellent video 🙏 longtime subscriber and looking forward to the Borneo adventure. As usual stay safe and healthy my RUclips friend 🙏 ❣️ 🍻
Wow,, You are in Borneo now,, it's really good
OMG..you literally doused that Tuaran Mee with chilli.
I can only take a tiny bit of that..like a quarter of a teaspoon to put in my noodle.
Looks like a beautiful and interesting place. It's a shame that the weather wasn't better, but such is life.
Amazing video Paddy 😊thanks for sharing ❤😊
Gorgeous video Paddy, i like Borneo so far, the nature and flower is just stunning ! Thank you, i love your explorings and happy mood despite the not so amazing weather - you are brave ! 🙌👍😍i have been on holidays in the Swiss Alps, and now ended up in Borneo with you Lol !

You should consider yourself very lucky to be able to see one in full bloom. Have fun in Sabah, mate.
U must around to Indonesia, from sabang to merauke. There is many place to explore. Granted, u will be amazed
You dancing on this road reminded me of your old Thailand 70 provinces road-trip, on the hilly roads of North Thailand. Keep on moving, we always learn something new with Next Level Adventures! 😁
Great mate! This is where I was born!!
Hey thank for visiting us Borneon!
Milo is from Australia, we have it here in South Africa as well 😂 nice 👍
Saw the Rafflesia 'flower' in kao Sok Thailand!
Splendid Borneo adventure
I was in Boracay when this exact same storm passed by.. much for the vacation time 😅😅
Borneo is super simple and positive
yet another great episode. Looking foirward to the next one....brilliant work ✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌
Thanks again!
welcome ! stay safe riding your scooter 👍😃
100 Plus! 😍
You are a superstar at inspiring people to travel...I love your content.Remember day 1 in the UK though...finding the courage to start ...If I were you I'd focus on that more...How do you get from a boring job to freedom.I've done it already...no agenda just a suggestion.
There a big rafflesia, the one you saw is quite small in size.
❤️🙏🏻😍Looks really beautiful there. Have a great weekend Paddy. 💞💋
The flower stays open for roughly 1 week. So u r lucky got to see them in full bloom. The person meant to say 9 days bt shes not really fluent in eng so theres a misscomunication 😊
Thanks for the info!
I think part of the canopy walk thrill is the bridge is not that stable but safe. It amazes me how the engineers built it in the first place.
I haven't been deep in the jungle since the late 70's 😬
Nice video..
I just subscribed Paddy, but I’m not new! I’m 64 yer sold
Always check weather charts
No word to say,just Love the video ;)
look forward for you to come to kuching sarawak.
I've been on bridge like this in the south of England. It's a real challenge staying upright. Quite Scary!
tingginya jambatan tu.... ada safety tak tuu
Next time try hiking at sarawak's
1. Mulu national park
2. Bako national park
to your audience, i would highly recommend comedian steve martin’s 1984 movie “the lonely guy”. it helps give deeper understanding to paddy’s emotions on these adventures “going it alone”.
Its kind of funny, RUclips just served me the video about how he doesn't want to advertise on this channel, and then this video next, where there is an ad :)
The paddy and a Bike combo 👌
If I were you, Paddy, while walking around I would ditch the jacket. I learned the hard way during rainy season in Japan back in 1986. It is often so hot and humid in Asia during the monsoon season that wearing a rain jacket is pointless. You'll be just as wet inside from the heat and humidity as if you weren't wearing a jacket at all.
Please come to Sarawak too!
Try BEEF RENDANG Paddy.. iconic Malay/Indo dish. Different types different areas but look for the dry rendang.. I'm sure you must have come across it in your travels. Its amazing! Cheers
Rafflesia flowers takes 9moths to mature before it blooms. And it will only bloom for 5-7days before it die and smells real bad.
Hello Paddy, very nice! The Rafflesia flower grow also in Indonesia. I saw one in Sumatra, near Padang and Bukkitingi.
Yes. So it seems from comments here, it is found in thailand, Philippines, sumatra indonesia and malaysia. Awesome
awesome!
Have you seen the flying Buick?
Does anybody know about the oil rig converted to scuba resort?
