Paddy, I just want to say how much I have enjoyed watching you grow in the content you produce! You have come a long way from live streaming in the 7-11 parking lot until now 🤭, not that I didn't enjoy that as well. Your videos are truly top notch! I'm so happy to have found your channel months and months ago. Can't wait to see what the future holds. I love the 'Live' premieres and how it gives your viewers the opportunity to interact with you, that's just one of many things that sets you apart from other 'RUclipsrs'. Thank you for all the hard work you do to create awesome 😎👍 content!
Paddy, you're doing such a great job of showcasing Northern and Eastern Thailand in a non-pretentious, informal and relaxed way. I'm really enjoying this series of yours. It's such a great part of the world. Thanks.
Paddy You have really raised the bar for all the Thailand RUclipsrs. Very impressive dragon and Buddha. Love your use of music. With all your time on dreamy, reminded me of Easy Rider
Before the rise of Khmer civilization there was Mon civilization housed in Thailand. Mon's civilizations were the predecessors of Khmer's and the Mon were one of the oldest ancestry of Thai people. Their second kingdom, Dvaravati was prosperous six centuries before the rise of Sukhothai. There left 50+ ancient Mon's ruins mostly built in Dvaravati period along with Khmer's ruins in Thailand today. Most of these ruins are located in Isan. Who knows the structure you found maybe a re-completion of an ancient ruin from the original base. The base looks real old. But the newer upper structure and the lion decoration statue are obviously re-created.
interesting. u know a lot of history. i just thought our ancestors were just from kunming. i've heard of the mon before but the kmers are more well known.
You don't have to believe in the religion but how can you not appreciate the craftsmanship and exquisite details of their religious iconography!!! Even the staircase that leads to the finger is uniquely made and detailed! It is so beautiful how they honor their religion.
I have lived here for 7 years and travelled to a lot of places. Your videos bring back some good memories. Your editing (and drone), music and sense of humour ensure I watch every one of your posts. Even my Thai gf has a laugh. Brilliant work Paddy!
Yes touring on a moped is really tough and physically demanding. It will take a toll on your body if you don't get sufficient rest. Ubon Ratchatani is my favorite province. Many places to visit and very little to no tourists. Take care my friend, ride safe!
Mahn, I don’t know how you do it; I stayed in Ubon for three years and drove every weekend to the neighbouring towns on my bike; the roads… during that time the road was under construction hopefully they finished the freeways, and you had a smooth trip from Mukdahan to Ubon and hopefully no incidents with animals on the highway ; stay safe.
I'm from Sakon Nakhon. I haven't been back home for almost 7 years now. Thank you for the video. I miss my home town a lot. A lot of things have changed. Specially the temple on your video. Before I come to the UK the temple wasn't like that. But still haven't plan to go back to Thailand any time soon 😔.
Fun stories. The Nagas (or Nahk in Thai) are actually serpentine gods, not dragons. They are the Gods of Rain in the Isan folklores. The distinction is that the Nagas do not have limbs or feet. With their domains being the underworld (the waters), they are the protectors of farmers and agriculture. Some of the “higher class” ones serve the higher gods in heavens and go back and forth between the heavens and the underworld. Nagas are often depicted as swimming in the water or to the sky. For them to be on land, they have to be accompanied by the Heras, the Terminal Gods, who resemble closer to Chinese dragons but smaller. A Naga will slither out of a Hera’s mouth so they don’t connect with dirt of the ground. As seen on the rails of most temple’s grand stairs, especially in Isan. The dirt symbolises “impurities”, and since the Nagas are responsible to the source of lives (water), they must remain as pure as possible.
Hi Paddy! Great video! The biggest Thailand Buddha statue is in Ang Thong Province near Ayutthaya. The Statue is 93 meters tall and the temple is called Wat Muang. Have you visited that province yet? Keep nice work!!!
Great vibes there...beautiful, as well. An unpretentious part of Thailand...I need to keep that in mind when I’m there. It really feels like another country up there between Laos and Thailand - Laoland? The vibe is amazing. It’s effect on you, Paddy is very noticeable...it’s like you’re breathing again. A word for the effect a place has on us must be created...let’s consult Greek - topoestanom (topo - place and estanom - feeling). True evidence of how effing bored I am and how grateful I am to you for showing me the most beautiful country in the world. Thanks again, Bro’. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Paddy - Thanks for the fantastic video of Wat Phra That Choeng Chum. 3 months a year I live 5 minutes from the temple, and visit it often. Nice to have high quality video to share with friends. It's a real working temple, the heart of Sakon Nakhon, with many community events there. I hope you can visit again when you have a little more time, and get to know the Sakon Nakhon people a little. It's not really a tourist city, most don't speak English, I'll sometimes go days without seeing another farang. The people are traditional and kind, with old school family values. To me Sakon Nakhon represents the real Thailand, not the mobs in Phuket, Chiang Mai, or BKK. If you do visit, a must see is Wat Tham Pha Daen. Mainly a Thai tourist temple, it's my favorite tourist temple in Thailand, the natural beauty of of the hilltop setting is integrated with the temple like none I've seen elsewhere. Sakon Nakhon is not for everyone, or not even for most, but for some who want to experience traditional Isaan culture, Sakon Nakhon is perfect. Good luck in your travels, and thanks again.
At Mukdahan the roast piglet restaurants by the Mekong is yummy😋. Keep Dreamy happy and she will keep you safe on the road. Take care and safe journey…..
Just as a bit of trivia interest, the Thai mor lam singer and actor, Ble Patumrach is from Amnat Charoen province. I had the pleasure of seeing one of his live concerts in Chonburi in 2019, and he does a kick-ass concert. Definitely try to catch a concert if he is currently touring. Or try to catch some mor lam concert while in Isan, and a parade if you can find one-- those are a quite amusing.
Really enjoyed this video...I love visiting Isan. When you are in Ubon you must visit Wat Phra That Nong Bua...a stunningly beautiful temple and something different to your normal Thai Temple. I loved Ubon and remember a restaurant on the mun river outside of the city...beautiful place. Enjoy your time in Ubon. When you get to Khon Kaen make a visit to Wat Nong Wang...another unique temple shaped like a pyramid providing great views over Khon Kaen city. Another place worth a visit is Ubol Ratana Dam and the big Buddha that overlooks the reservoir (Wat Phra Bat Phu Phan) 😁👍
Another spectacular video Paddy! It does look exhausting though. That first temple with the reflective tiles was incredible! And I loved the massive dragon and Buddha statues! The dragon reminded me a little of the statues at the "Blue Temple" in Chiang Rai. Hope you get some good rest mate!
Great video Paddy. Dreamy just keeps going and going. 🛵 Good value with the accommodation. The Temples look amazing and that Buddha was massive. Thank You. 🙏👍
The funny thing to me is how impressed I was the first time I went to Thailand and ofcourse visit wat pho and seeing the reclining Buddha and it's size. I thought this must be the biggest Buddha in the world. In your videos I've seen at least 5 much bigger Buddha's that are just randomly there.
Great adventure Paddy. Your selection of music is very good and suitable for the different scenes. Keep going. Following you on this great adventure with Dreamy................
**A tip** Lower the music volume levels when you do your driving transitions. A bit too loud. I turn up volume when you talk, and lower it when you are driving.
10:10 วัดนี้สวยงามมากๆเลยค่ะ Do you know the more I watch ⌚ your vlog, the more I love ❤ my home 🏡 Land 💛💜💙💚❣ At the same time I'm angry with myself that I've been living here HH🇩🇪😢 BTW I wish you enjoyed your journey and stay safe 🙏 🐒
Paddy, the flat tyre was form the metal wire from a worn out truck tyre. These metal fibers collect on the side of the road. We find if we ride as much as possible on the main road and not on the side we don’t get as many punctures
Thanks for another exciting video. I love spicy Isan food, though I only use fish sauce in my Som Tum. I can't wait to see where you will go in Ubon Ratchathani Province my birth place.
Can't believe you had a problem with Dreamy 🤦♂😁 The first temple ,just when i think iv'e seen my fav on your journey then another one pops up🤷♂Said it many times ,bloody jealous on what you are doing 🙏But i'm confident that Buddha won't be beaten ,Fantastic workmanship let alone the views ,Thanks for sharing mate
Great news about "Nightmare", I was thinking back wheel bearing, for a 30+ yr old small cc bike doing huge mileage, frankly quite impressed. Thanks for your travel vids and take care.
Yet anther great video, I'm sort of catching up on your videos since I was out of town, I think I have just a few more to go. I've been to Thailand and have experience huge statues and I wonder actually pays for these huge statues? Big FAN Paddy!
I went to Thailand first time in 2010 and fell in love. Then two more times and recently in dec 2019. I love this serie of yours and to see the north. Have you heard if camping is a thing in Thailand? Like with a van would it be hard to find places to overnight :) would you be allowed to park at a public beach or is there camping spots
Inside the awesome majestic glittering golden temple housed a plainly Buddha, which I believe to be very very holy to be able to place in such esteem temple.
I wonder how recent the Buddha and Dragon installation is? I like the look of the chocolate cake that Buddha is sitting on 🍰🍰🍰 (I mean Nakh not dragon - sorry) .
In Sakon Nakhon at Christmas time. It is a big Christian community there.also bestest Christmas celebrations in Thailand. You should check the date and try 👍👍
Hay paddy Lao looking not so backwood in the lock down i told check Todd channel Now in lao new trains may be you should go and have a look they are trying to catch up mate
I went to Thakhek across the Mekong River from Nakon Phanom, in Laos & then on to tour the Kong Lohr Cave N/E of Thakhet. It runs 7km under a mountain. you can boat thru it. A fabulous Visit. I found the Laos speak much better English than Thais, due to their French based Lycee School System.

บรรพบุรุษของเราคือคนไทยโบราณ และมอญโบราณ (มอญไม่ใช่เขมร เขมรไม่เกี่ยวกับมอญ) เราได้รับอิทธิผลทางวัฒนธรรมมาจากอินเดียโดยตรง ไม่ได้มาจากเขมรอย่างที่คุณกล่าวมา เขมรเป็นเพียงคนใช้แรงงานของสยาม อินเดีย และมอญ
ชาวเขมรในสมัยก่อนคือชนชั้นทาส ที่เจ้านายคือชาวสยามโบราณ อินเดียโบราณ มอญโบราณ เกณฑ์ชาวเขมรมาจากหมู่เกาะทางอินโด เพื่อมาใช้แรงงานสร้างปราสาทหิน เขมรไม่ใช่เจ้าของอารยธรรมที่แท้จริง และเขมรไม่ใช่มอญ
มอญไม่ใช่เขมร คนไทยก็คือคนไทย คนไทยอยู่บนแผ่นดินนี้มานานแล้ว

เขมร คือ เขมร / มอญ ก็คือ มอญ ปัจจุบันในประเทศไทยก็ยังมี ชาวมอญอยู่
@@ampamp3246 คำว่า predecessor แปลว่า ผู้ที่เจริญมาก่อน เขาไม่ได้พูดตรงไหนเลยว่ามอญเป็นเขมร คุณอ่อนภาษาอย่าไปเถียงเขาเลย ไปเรียนภาษาให้แน่นๆก่อน

You don't have to believe in the religion but how can you not appreciate the craftsmanship and exquisite details of their religious iconography!!! Even the staircase that leads to the finger is uniquely made and detailed! It is so beautiful how they honor their religion.
I love seeing Paddy talk with locals.
Thanks 👍
Thai people are so kind and helpful. I love eating Thai food. My favorite. Thailand is beautifuuuuuul.
There's about to be a Chang (Elephant) Festival in Surin soon, it begin 15th of this month.
Who is tired ? Who is bored ? The colored of this region are so relaxing . 🍏
Loved this video Paddy... Thanks a ton!! :)
A lot of beautiful temples in Sakon Nakon. I've been there 30 years ago. I wish to go back again.
i hope Dreamy will survive the whole Thailand trip through all the provinces!
Mean Issan tour Paddy. Living the dream. I nearly wet my self - “Touch the finger”. Classic.
I have lived here for 7 years and travelled to a lot of places. Your videos bring back some good memories.

began watching this summer. as a retiree i truly enjoy watching your travels. keep healthy
I really enjoy the temple visits 🙏🏻 There are so many beautiful ones 😍🇹🇭
Yes they are!
Lovely video as always Paddy, C Ya in the next one, cheers 🙌🍻
All those Thailand "experts" who never leave the bars have no idea.

What a stunning temple complex! And once again...you have it all to yourself. No crowds! You have lady luck on your shoulder!

จังหวัดทางภาคอีสานของไทย มีสิ่งสวยงามน่าสนใจ อาหารก็อร่อย
มีสถานที่ทางพระพุทธศาสนามากมาย
I love watching Paddy's videos! Always puts a smile on my face :)

These videos from northern Thailand are your best. You look happier traveling the north. I enjoy them a lot.
Oh, today I watch several of your travel blogs and this, I watch half way. I come back to you. My partner calling me for dinner.
Always nice vlog paddy, keep them coming 👍👍
At Mukdahan the roast piglet restaurants by the Mekong is yummy😋. Keep Dreamy happy and she will keep you safe on the road.
Take care and safe journey…..
we can not change where we were born or how we were raised. good to see how traveling has changed your view of the world.

Glad you enjoyed it
Been there done that but you definitely present it in better light. Nice work.
Enjoyed your video😁 we can't wait to visit Isan! Been in Thailand for more than 10 months now, can't believe we haven't been there yet!

So fun to see your take on places I've visited and made videos of :-)
Thanks for bringing back some great memories!
Great adventure Paddy. Your selection of music is very good and suitable for the different scenes. Keep going. Following you on this great adventure with Dreamy................
Very beautiful white buddha and the musical with the theme is magnificent indeed
This temple in Sakhon Nakhon is gorgeous and the golden leaves sound is beautiful... Great discovery, Paddy!
PS: Fancy a fresh haircut?
Another great video.
Amazing temples. Videos are so well done. Rob, Toronto 🇨🇦
🙏
It's a wonder your bike is still going !
This is why it's the biggest selling vehicle ever.
**A tip** Lower the music volume levels when you do your driving transitions. A bit too loud. I turn up volume when you talk, and lower it when you are driving.
Love Ubon Ratchathani so amazing place to visit and great people :)
2:45 that buffalo look confuse at your drone is so cute
Hello Paddy awesome video as always the dragon was amazing loving the provinces and your journey take care 🤩
Thanks 😊😊😊
It's not a dragon, but a serpent.
Was at the blaa blaa bar , close by. In 2017, that time it was stoke vs Arsenal, cheep beers and good memories 😀 keep up the good woork
Have a great weekend bud..howaa 🇨🇦 from the gwaii..
Fantastic blog mate you will like it there it has a good vib looking forward to the next won.
@9:28 beauuuuuuuuuutiful temple and the entire place is sooooooooooooooo clean. I'm falling in love with this place.
You should hold a FC meeting in Bangkok I believe lots your fan want to attend
Bruh, 420km in 1 day on Dreamy!?!? How many total hours, ya reckon? That is crazy!
Great vlog!
Hi Paddy, that Google translate part was very surprising!! It translated absolutely correctly, I can vouch for that. A rare incidence!!! 😅
Very beautiful place Paddy and your right about that statue it is ginormous!!
If you are heading to Ubon you will find some great banh mi and other Vietnamese food (banh cuon, banh xeo), Isaan has it all!
Hope to see some progress of the Highspeed Rail project along the way when you reach Korat
10:10 วัดนี้สวยงามมากๆเลยค่ะ
Do you know the more I watch ⌚ your vlog, the more I love ❤ my home 🏡 Land 💛💜💙💚❣
At the same time I'm angry with myself that I've been living here HH🇩🇪😢
BTW I wish you enjoyed your journey and stay safe 🙏
🐒
Keep up the great work, Mukdahan is Muk da han by the way👍😀👍
Great work! Loved it!
Great trip, great video! Love Isaan!
Welcome to Ubon Paddy
Paddy, the flat tyre was form the metal wire from a worn out truck tyre. These metal fibers collect on the side of the road. We find if we ride as much as possible on the main road and not on the side we don’t get as many punctures
Good to know 😊
If you ever need to smile just watch a Paddy video.
😍😍😍
Paddy, what's wrong with your audio signal? Humming more than the dreamy rear wheel.. 🤣
Thanks for another exciting video. I love spicy Isan food, though I only use fish sauce in my Som Tum. I can't wait to see where you will go in Ubon Ratchathani Province my birth place.
Can't believe you had a problem with Dreamy 🤦♂😁 The first temple ,just when i think iv'e seen my fav on your journey then another one pops up🤷♂Said it many times ,bloody jealous on what you are doing 🙏But i'm confident that Buddha won't be beaten ,Fantastic workmanship let alone the views ,Thanks for sharing mate
VERY Impressive Budda. The time & Scafolding Must Have been Totally Crazy Of Having To Keep MOVING To Erect...
Absolutely ✌️
your riding is legend. i can’t do that
Great news about "Nightmare", I was thinking back wheel bearing, for a 30+ yr old small cc bike doing huge mileage, frankly quite impressed. Thanks for your travel vids and take care.
6:40 You get a new inner tube and the old one will be patched!! Good job you didn't ask for it. Major fox's paw. (Faux pas).
Yet anther great video, I'm sort of catching up on your videos since I was out of town, I think I have just a few more to go. I've been to Thailand and have experience huge statues and I wonder actually pays for these huge statues? Big FAN Paddy!
Lindo video!..adoro a Tailândia.😘
If ever Dreamy make it to the end of your adventures... Honda Thailand should give you a new one. 😂
Little known fact: I used to play in a garage band in Bakersfield called "The Rotten Krathongs."
I went to Thailand first time in 2010 and fell in love. Then two more times and recently in dec 2019. I love this serie of yours and to see the north. Have you heard if camping is a thing in Thailand? Like with a van would it be hard to find places to overnight :) would you be allowed to park at a public beach or is there camping spots
I really think Honda should be sponsoring you and dreamy.
ยินดีต้อนรับสู่สกลนครค่ะ
เที่ยวให้สนุกน่ะค่ะ
Inside the awesome majestic glittering golden temple housed a plainly Buddha, which I believe to be very very holy to be able to place in such esteem temple.
25:40 That remind me of stray dogs in Bangkok. Some of them are smart enough to use overpass bridge to cross the wide road.
Mickey has the bigger bike . But you have the bigger heart.
I get a little Green Day vibe of your current style 😁.
Fantastic - thank you!
I wonder how recent the Buddha and Dragon installation is? I like the look of the chocolate cake that Buddha is sitting on 🍰🍰🍰 (I mean Nakh not dragon - sorry) .
The temple is so beautiful.
Enjoying your trip
In Sakon Nakhon at Christmas time. It is a big Christian community there.also bestest Christmas celebrations in Thailand. You should check the date and try 👍👍
28:45 A lot of snakes. That's the problem with frogs. They always draw a crowd of snakes.
Hay paddy Lao looking not so backwood in the lock down i told check Todd channel Now in lao new trains may be you should go and have a look they are trying to catch up mate
I went to Thakhek across the Mekong River from Nakon Phanom, in Laos & then on to tour the Kong Lohr Cave N/E of Thakhet. It runs 7km under a mountain. you can boat thru it. A fabulous Visit. I found the Laos speak much better English than Thais, due to their French based Lycee School System.
loved it !!
เดินทางปลอดภัยนะครับ
Next is Khao Yai national park right ?
