Hello Paddy. I have found your channel a month ago when me and my husband decided to have a 4 weeks Thailand tour with kids (5 and 1). Your videos are absolutely amazing and informative. these are gonna help us a lot to plan our trip. Thanks and Best wishes.
Dugong started moving out from Trang and Libong island for months , because of not enough food. That make it harder to see them. Good news is , we’ve found a new spot for sighting them at Rawai bridge in Phuket since August 2024, and it’s so much easier to see them😊
I have been mildly obsessed with Thailand since I backpacked there for 7 months many years ago, and have revisited about 10 times since, but I have definitely taken some notes from your video, great information, thank you! x
My husband and myself are planning on a 3 months trip to Thailand this time around and cannot wait!! We will definitely be doing the Hidden Bangkok Boat Tours, The Green Lung, and especially Koh Chang since we’ve never been there before & because of your Koh Chang Series 😊 You sure have come a long way Paddy……and we have been watching your awesome next level adventure channel for a while now! Thanks for creating this one😊
Beautiful video Paddy. I got you beat by 10 years mate, but I have not done most of these things. Excellent informative video! One your forgot and perhaps have not done yet. Go on a white water adventure down the Nan river in northern Thailand. Just epic!
@@giuliabi3539most, if not all of that part of Thailand is affected in the'burning season', because the burning is also done in Laos and Myanmar, Thailand's neighbours. Perhaps more of the smoke in northern Thailand comes from those two neighbours than from burning in Thailand itself.
@@colinb8512 grazie, speravo che a Nan la situazione fosse migliore rispetto a Chiang Mai dove l'anno scorso qualcuno bruciava i campi anche a gennaio. Soprattutto a nord nella zona di Ban Rak Thai. Il prossimo febbraio avrei voluto stare a Nan ma è decisamente troppo rischioso a causa della Burning Season.
Thanks for the guide, Paddy. I think I've seen all of these places on your channel before, but it was nice that you compiled this list and included clips to refresh my memory.
I have traveled to Thailand many times and have also spent a few months on several occasions in BKK. I like that you recommend things that are not on most of the popular lists, like the green lung - a truly surprising place to find in the middle of Bangkok.
I have watched every episode of your travels in Thailand and I’m still amazed on what you have achieved and watching this has put more places on my map to visit in Thailand 🇹🇭 and my travels awaits
Lovely selection Paddy! With your interest in Bangkok for cycling, Thonburi, the canals and going off the beaten path, you will love our 5 hour bike/boat tour through Chinatown and Thonburi. Children from 6 years onwards cycle themselves, so it's as safe at it gets away from traffic! Nevertheless, keep up the good work! ~ Co van Kessel bangkok team
If you had to choose between either visiting the 3 Koh Muk, Koh Kradan, Koh Libong or… visiting the group of Koh Mak, Koh Chang, & koh Kood… which group would you choose? Thanks for the helpful video!
Paddy i thank you 😊 planning my first trip for 30 days in January. This is following mums death and my own long battle with illness. Hoping to find my lust for life again. Your vids are so helpful. Keep them coming ❤
Ha, was that Bangkok Pat next to you at the soccer game? Ive got 50 days in Thailand coming up at the end of november and cant wait. This will be my 3rd trip and there is still so much to see!
I love the Bangkok stuff Paddy. I always avoided it for a long time as I cant be bothered with the multiple transportation systems but the hidden tour looks amazing! I reckon I could live there after all your insights.
Awesome video !! Thanks for reminding me that I will have to go back 😅 I have 1 question regarding the Hidden Bangkok Tour. On their Instagram, they offer 4 different tours, which one did you do ? 3:04
Hi Paddy, been following you from day 1 so I got a tip for you... when you go to New Zealand when visiting Milford sound make sure it rains the day before because the waterfalls will be amazing also "lake wanakah" and "remarkables"
Going back 20 years I hired a boat on the opp side to watt Arun and left before dawn, brilliant side of bkk , the boat owner even took me to his house and introduced me to his familly . Really lovely in tonbury. Spelling
I truly appreciate the videos you make of the unique places to explore and visit in Thailand, we will be heading there in Dec and I can't wait to visit Hua Hin n either Koh Samui or Khao Sok 😊
this was such a wonderful video and I greatly appreciate it. But, as an older person with some disabilities could you do a video of places to see and things to do in Thailand for somebody who has mobility issues? thanks for all of the great content you provide.
Paddy a TV company needs to sign you up, your knowledge and superb presentation skills are outstanding, remember I told you when the big guns come seeking your signature on the contract!
You missed the Amazing 10 Ethnic Groups of Mae Sai Festival, 10th Edition: December 6-11, 2024. Maximum diversity experince the food, the craft ,the culture of the people living in the hills in the north. And for sport day you cant go past the interschool sports days, food , drink, dancing, oh and some great soccer battles.
On Sunday 27th OCT there will be a big event, an important event, a grand boat procession with the king sitting on a boat along the Chao Phraya River at noon.
Thanks to your travel blogs, I l've added Khao Sok to my travellings upcoming December (with my daughter)... 💕 I'm a huge fan of your channel!! And I love Thailand.. 🌸
Remember to bring more water than you think, when going to dragons crest, i nearly fainted and had to beg for some water from the only other people i met there ! its not a walk in the park and the trail is beaten up, so dont bring flip flops
I’ve just re-arranged my 1 month break at Xmas. I’ve followed your trails in person for the past 3 years, and will go see some new stuff. Will head to Trang and kanchanaburi. I think it’s time you did a new Thailand bike trip. Maybe do east to west and north to south as a theme.
KO MUK! Wifey has IDed there as where I _WILL_ take her for her real honeymoon! Wifey's Pops is near Sukothai, so we'll be spending time there. Thanks for the heads-up on the hike. Sis in in Chiang Mai; she talks about Chiang Rai. Glad you mentioned the huts. YIKES I hate heights! Gotta do that ladder. Sht bricks in USMC when we had to rappel, drop from helos. YOU have given us teh BEST hints; I watch a ton of Thailand videos to try and stay ahead of Wifey, bring her to places she's not been.

Most interesting, but several suggestions are not of interest to many older people. One problem with these types of videos is that they focus on the age group of the vlogger. There is a whole crowd out there of over 60 visitors, so an idea would be for you to do a similar video aimed at healthy visitors over 60 who are not into hiking and long distance road trips (but air travel is ok). Just a suggestion 😊✌️
Whete did you get the "fast" long tail ride from please Paddy ?? Was that in the "Cobra" canal area east of Suvarnabhumi where they do those drag races? Or somewhere else? Thanks in advance,....and a great vlog as always 👍
Hey Going to Thailand next month and this is like my 9th trip there or something. Based on your recommendation in another video of Chanthaburi, i'm going to be staying there to check out the city area on the way to Koh Kood! Totally agree with your suggestions here at least the ones i've been to. Thanks!
Paddy, are you free this Sunday, Oct 27 from 3 pm? There will be a royal barge procession from around Rama 8 Bridge to Wat Arun. The king will be offering monk robes as part of the end of the Buddhist Lent. 52 barges and 2,399 oarsmen w/ the main barge, the Golden Swan, being 130 yrs old bulit during King Rama 5 and completed King Rama 6. The procession is 1.28 km long. It's going to be spectacular! Doesn't happen too often. Last time was during King Rama 10's coronation 4 yrs ago.
Go to Koh chang first (5-6 hours from BKK by bus) then Koh waii. Koh chang and Koh waii are in same area so you would not spend much time to travel. Back to BKK and fly to Surat Thani and take a van to Khao sok.
Want to come but got only april next year. I know its hot and smokey season in North. Are there some regions in north not too affect with the smoke? South in hot seasons?
I am from Thailand and I never been to a lot of places that you show in RUclips because we live in US so we always visit koa Samui or Bangkok and family and Phi phi and Phuket I have been to the north but I am looking for the place to retire that have everything beach mountain and the shopping I think koa Samui it winnings Pattaya is to busy and noisy Hua Hin we never been What is your favorite place?
To those going to Praya Nachom Cave, in addition to the magnificent blurb the OP gave us: Took my Lovely Thai Wife to here for her mini-honeymoon. YOIKES! Good trek up the hill; careful w/ footwear. To the base of the path to climb to Royal Pavillion, you can walk from the park entrance OR take a boat. There is value for both. Hiking is... well, added steps. We will do this next time. Boat: You walk out across the mud flats to the boat. Barefoot or (perhaps?) water shoes are recommended. The mud was mid-calf for us. I would try my mid water shoe next time for both mud flats and hoofing it up the mountain; going down is steep so recommended is appropriate footwear, eg hiking shoes/boots. BUT, well worth it!!! We stayed in south Hua Hin, near the mini-monkey mountain with the temples. 3 Chefs and _en_route_, amazing seafood, fresh off the boat.
OP! THANKS for the guildelist! I took a screenshot of the kippi on the platform on the guy's back. FUN! I've updated as, in retrospect, it likely was not clear that my comment was to others as OP has already been. Looking forward to YT feeding me more of your videos!
Youve claim youve been eveeywhwre and yet can seemingly mosly only recommend places in south - yawn. And most of the places on your list are not hidden either.
Yes thailand has a lot to offer... but it is very unfair that foreigners have to pay 300 to 500 bht x person to visit national parks and some temples while locals don't pay more than 40 bht. That's a real shame to be ripped off this way😳
Paddy!! Back in Thailand!
Your videos always take me back to the most amazing adventure I have ever had in my life.
It’s truly heaven there.

Yes Nan is a hidden gem, it became popular for Thai people for past 5 year .
Ciao, @ThailandThomas puoi dirmi se in febbraio bruciano anche nella provincia di Nan?
Grazie

You always keep me excited about going back.

Paddy i thank you 😊 planning my first trip for 30 days in January. This is following mums death and my own long battle with illness. Hoping to find my lust for life again. Your vids are so helpful. Keep them coming ❤
You got this !!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Paddy! Finally going back to my second home in a few months. Those hikes look like they will rival some I have taken in the Canadian Rockies!
Excellent information! We will definitely go to some of these places. Thank you 😊
Have fun!

Quality video from one of the best presenters, top notch advice
Well done video mate!
Absolutely superb, thank you.
Awesome video !! Thanks for reminding me that I will have to go back 😅 I have 1 question regarding the Hidden Bangkok Tour. On their Instagram, they offer 4 different tours, which one did you do ? 3:04
Congratulation on the 260,000 subscribers I’m one of them you came from Denmark. Thank you very much for your stunning videos.🙏
Thank you very much!
Happy to see your success. When do we get a ”how to get massive calves workout” tutorial?
Hi Paddy,
been following you from day 1 so I got a tip for you... when you go to New Zealand when visiting Milford sound make sure it rains the day before because the waterfalls will be amazing also "lake wanakah" and "remarkables"
Going back 20 years I hired a boat on the opp side to watt Arun and left before dawn, brilliant side of bkk , the boat owner even took me to his house and introduced me to his familly . Really lovely in tonbury. Spelling
Hiya Paddy.
Beautiful roundup.
Koh Wai. Definitely paradise.
Great video. Happy Wednesday.
Glad you enjoyed it Nicky
I truly appreciate the videos you make of the unique places to explore and visit in Thailand, we will be heading there in Dec and I can't wait to visit Hua Hin n either Koh Samui or Khao Sok 😊
Please do!
this was such a wonderful video and I greatly appreciate it. But, as an older person with some disabilities could you do a video of places to see and things to do in Thailand for somebody who has mobility issues? thanks for all of the great content you provide.
Thanks Paddy. Been waiting for this for a while now. Tempted to go back and rewatch your province series, for a third time 🤣
haha maybe I should do them again!
Really useful video for a geordie that had the fortune of visiting Thailand 25 years ago. Gan canny and… Toon Army! 🏁
Thank you Paddy. Fantastic.
These are truly the hidden gems of Thailand.
Excellent video. I go in a month!
Have fun!
This is helpful content. Practical advice based on beautiful ventures. I would be much more interested in the path less Instagramed.

For us Khao Sok and a very special "savannah" island; Koh Pra Thong.
On Sunday 27th OCT there will be a big event, an important event, a grand boat procession with the king sitting on a boat along the Chao Phraya River at noon.
Thanks to your travel blogs, I l've added Khao Sok to my travellings upcoming December (with my daughter)... 💕
I'm a huge fan of your channel!! And I love Thailand.. 🌸
might see you there then
@@PaddyDoyle. That would be great!
For someone not so keen on Thai streetfood and wants to eat healthy..any dishes/places that you would recommend in Bangkok?
amazing video , you are the man
I appreciate that!
Remember to bring more water than you think, when going to dragons crest, i nearly fainted and had to beg for some water from the only other people i met there ! its not a walk in the park and the trail is beaten up, so dont bring flip flops

7 of the 11 are perfectly fine for all ages and fitness levels
I expected hidden gems but I saw places that have been pretty popular in the last few decades.
Listen to Paddy. I too have lived here for a while and have use his channel for ideas. Great place and secrets Paddy. 😆😁
Whete did you get the "fast" long tail ride from please Paddy ?? Was that in the "Cobra" canal area east of Suvarnabhumi where they do those drag races? Or somewhere else?

Hey Paddy you really need go see a Cafe called " Bubble in the jungle " Nokhon Pathom. Its so nice and blue lol u will understand once u see it .

Hmm interesting… I’ll check my schedule
There is a train from BKK to River Kwae Bridge.
Off back to BKK in Jan and doing the Green Lung, plus we're booked into Paradise P1 on Koh Wei!!
WOW!!!!
great job :-)
How is It possible to do Khao Sok and Koh Chang / Koh Wai in a 2 week Journey?🥺
Easily
@@PaddyDoyle. How?
Go to Koh chang first (5-6 hours from BKK by bus) then Koh waii. Koh chang and Koh waii are in same area so you would not spend much time to travel. Back to BKK and fly to Surat Thani and take a van to Khao sok.
Hi Paddy have you been to koh phayam ?? I think that's the best island I've ever been to. Just me
Dugong is the distinctive species in Thailand.
Hey... Bangkok Pat at 6:19!
I want to hike as much as I can I'm going to be staying in naiyang beach
Want to come but got only april next year. I know its hot and smokey season in North. Are there some regions in north not too affect with the smoke? South in hot seasons?
mostly all of the north will suffer from smoke so I would maybe only go to Chiang Mai for Songkran as that city is fun that time of year
@@PaddyDoyle. Chang mai for sure.. So more days in the south then.
Did I see Bangkok Pat at the football
Yes, watch the full vlog we had a blast
the hike onto khao ok talu in phatthalung is also crazy. did you do this one, paddy?
not yet...
Nice temple at the top you can rest before going back down
I am from Thailand and I never been to a lot of places that you show in RUclips because we live in US so we always visit koa Samui or Bangkok and family and Phi phi and Phuket I have been to the north but I am looking for the place to retire that have everything beach mountain and the shopping I think koa Samui it winnings Pattaya is to busy and noisy Hua Hin we never been
What is your favorite place?
Koh Samui 😍
Cool.
Thanks for the beautiful video! A lot of inspiration:) Do you also have recommendations for Khao Yai? I will be visiting the national park in July :)
Hello paddy 🙋🏽♂️
Is there anything you can get from Dragoncrest that you can't get from Tiger Temple climb?
hardly anyone does the DragonCrest and Tiger Temple is a popular walk
@@PaddyDoyle. yeah 3 hour hike is a chore. I'd rather 1200 steps and 3 hours at the top.
6:10 they love football almost as much as the English*
is that translation device, a paid commercial?
yes as stated
I want to see crazy night life in Thailand.
Are you a Newcastle fan?
For my sins
@@PaddyDoyle. Good man! out of interest, do you have any Toon game watching spots in Bangkok for a fellow sufferer?
I remember your beautiful ride on motorbike along the Chiang Mai - Mae Hong Son loop. It has become your identity.
You missed Moodeng.
Thank you for having the fitness my old ass does not. I couldn't get to some of those places
❤❤❤❤❤
Bosh
Hidden gem, terrible old travel cliche
Yeah perhaps but it’s just a RUclips title
To those going to Praya Nachom Cave, in addition to the magnificent blurb the OP gave us:
Took my Lovely Thai Wife to here for her mini-honeymoon.
YOIKES!
Good trek up the hill; careful w/ footwear.
To the base of the path to climb to Royal Pavillion, you can walk from the park entrance OR take a boat. There is value for both.
Hiking is... well, added steps. We will do this next time.
