    That big waterfall is epic, how about taking us to the next level and going over them in a kayak. I will be right there with you! That room was a bit scary! Who knows when they changed the sheets. Hope you carry one of those hostel bed bags. Very sad about the dolphins. Very enjoyable video Paddy. Looking forward to seeing what is next.

    I saw you mention the falling as sleep in IG a while ago, wonder when it coming out to youtube. I am glad you are ok.
    I had that experience once when I was driving a car and it was really late. I was driving 140 km/h and I woke up with the end of the pickup car just right in front of my car. I was very lucky to wake up just in time, cut out of that lane into the next lane and double lucky just like you there was no other car around. The left mirror was gone as it hit the back of the pickup car.
    That was my lesson. Now, if I can feel that I really need a nap, I'll find the nearest safe area to pull over and get 10 mins' sleep. That 10 mins' sleep can give me another 3 hours' drive easily. 😆
    Can't wait for your next adventure.

    Paddy - I have truly enjoyed your work ever since you were with the Budgeteers. Please don't die! Going through rural parts of a country, staying at modest accommodations, and discovering things like this incredible waterfall are all reasons why I love being a subscriber. Lost in Laos was an epic series and I am excited to see your adventures in Cambodia! I went to both countries on the same trip in 2012.

    First of all Paddy, this segment of the adventure was fantastic and I appreciate your time and effort to do this for me and all of your viewers. Laos is beautiful and definitely worth visiting. Second, I know your are somewhere tucked away or just finishing a tour to Koh Samui right now. That is on my list and has been for sometime. I think when I come back to Thailand soon that is a part of my plan. Finally, whoa.. So glad you were not injured in that incident. I am expecting to see my mate Paddy for many years to come bringing us visions or beauty and views of landscapes we may not otherwise get to see but through your eyes. And of course a place to visit somewhere in rural S.E. Asia with little Paddy's and Miss P's running around!

    That is so sad. How we affect wildlife. Very sad.
    You're a legend. Traveling solo. And all the issues you have had.
    OMG. Paddy. Glad you stopped, Slap. Slap. Luckily you were ok.

    Oh wow. Paddy, please learn from this and err on the side of caution.
    Falling asleep at the wheel is deadly.. I lost one of my dearest friends years -ago when he fell asleep and crossed over to hit a huge motorhome head-on. My first friend to die, and he took two other people with him. Since that time, Ive learned that sleepy driving is the same as drunk driving. I'd hate to go through that kind of shock and pain again...so learn from this and stay safe.

I really like your laid back and go with the flow personality and these were so enjoyable to watch and def had me laughing out loud at some parts. So sorry you lost your wallet, I would have had a mental breakdown, but I am sure you'll get it all sorted out. Glad you made it through the country safely and hope you get some much needed rest before your next adventures. Looking forward to watching more of your content! Blessings for the USA!

Your production, drone shots, and acting/narration have become very professional. I assume you are back in BKK and had a nice new year gathering with your friends. Happy New year Paddy, looking forward to your next adventures. Stay safe! If you ever need shelter in Khon Kaen or Samui let me know.

    Hey Paddy,
    I'm loving your work, from here in Oz.
    I'm a Scotsman and I've spent a while driving professionally here. Nothing can prepare you for driving tiredness, like experience, unfortunately. You have that now. So be aware.
    I have a house in Thailand, that I've been unable to visit during the last few years. Your vlogs and that of others have kept me in touch with my spiritual home.
    Keep on doing your thing mate.

In 2007, I too had a blackout fortunately in a car on a major US HWY - 30 years 1M KM of driving nothing like that sudden drop in bloody pressure due to stress - fortunate to be here to see your adventures. Point is what you already know, that we must slow down, as they say smell the roses, take in the sights, and what is the Spanish say 'Tranquillo'. Look, you have to stay alive or 125k people will have nothing to watch. All the best and safe travels.
