Is there electricity?? I’m photographer and. Re charge drone and camera? Cheers in advance paddy

[@ttbanlaem]

I went there with friends in university time in late 80s. (Now I'm 56) There were no tourist no resorts there were nothing but two local families. We brought foods and water from Trad and stayed with a local uncle. He taught us fishing for a meal. What a wonderful memory. (Sorry for my english)

[@NikNikotime]

What a wonderful experience! Your english is perfect.

I’ve been to Thailand 🇹🇭 twice now it’s never failed to amaze me with the beautiful beaches and mountains 🏔️ Great Video 🤩

[@BKKNOW1]

I've been going to Thailand since 1985 it still never fails to amaze me, there is something for everyone in Thailand. The only problem is the traffic in Phuket in the high season 😁

[@ashishgusani]

Wow your content capturing and editing skills have also really gone up a notch dude, those drone shots of you swimming, the snorkel shots, shots of the storm, the music edit during that.. just incredible

[@PaddyDoyle.]

ah cheers mate

[@rosieb4029]

Couldn’t agree more!!!

[@KraljOsovina]

Second that! 👏👏👏

[@stephenfox4278]

I am an aussie bloke that went to phi phi island April 99. Unspoilt and thailand at its best in terms of minimal tourists. Fond times of a still gorgeous country and its people... God bless them...❤

[@stephenbouchelle7706]

I hope Thailand can do something to preserve some of the islands for calm, low tech tourism. I used to go Ko Samet in the 80s. It was quiet and charming - bamboo huts and kerosene lamps. No hotels, no aircon, bucket showers. Now it’s overbuilt and another bland tourist stop. I wouldn’t go near Phuket or Samui anymore. I’m glad you found this as it is. I may try it next trip. That’s as much development as I want.

[@maaikiedelight9312]

With content like this, the Island will be crowded to in 20 years....😢

[@ricardaseifert427]

​@@maaikiedelight9312so lange wird es nicz5 dauern. Videos wie diese hab3n schon andere Inseln zerstört

[@swissb00m96]

Funny to read about Samet :) I have been three times before Covid came around. I enjoyed it so much. But as a random guy i met told me (like you did) that place was a backpacker's paradise in the 80s. Now I am not a backpacker at all, but i do understand when people disagree what tourism makes out of such beautiful almost remote islands. By the way: i stayed on the quiet western side of the island (Ao Prao). I hope i can return at some point as i fell in love with that paradise :)

[@Mfoukos]

Perhaps the most beautiful,peaceful video of Thailand i ever saw!

[@hellarnirk99]

So finally I`m seeing you to visit our favorite islands! Good relaxing video. Me and my wife have been visiting these islands for 20 years by now- mostly twice a year. Cannot get enough. Koh Kood is our favorite. We visited last in January 2024 and going there again in November this year. Enjoy your exploring holiday! Thank you for making these videos for us so we can show your work to our friends and parents. We only take pictures. And your work is amazing- done with the highest professionality.

[@lauradetommaso3620]

hi!! I'm going to visita Koh Kood on December. Can you suggest me the best way from Bangkok to Koh Kood? 🙏🏼

[@hellarnirk99]

@@lauradetommaso3620 I don't know what are your criterias but for us is the best way when we get our bags at the same level on your way out is a .eeting point. Somewhere near is the Tourist Information and from there to get a private car for about 5000 THB. After that you just step out and your car is waiting for you. If traffic is OK then in about 5 hours you're gonna be at the pier heading 30-45 min.ferry trip to Koh Kood. Or if you're on a budget then from Airport to BKK Ekamai bus station and from there to the pier which leads you to Koh Kood. You can buy bus tickets and ferry tickets (Lomprayah) together and also open jaw tickets if you don't know when to return.

[@williamperkins1542]

So relaxing and such beauty. Now I have to go. My wife and I had a wonderful time on Koh Kood last year, and of course our favorite island, Koh Chang. Now we have a new destination. Thanks Paddy!

[@angec6682]

That long distance aerial drone footage is epic.

I love the calming vibe of this type of videos, more of these please

[@tiasha6098]

I'm so in love with Thailand I can't even begin to describe it. This is the dream❤

[@vagabond23]

Thanks for the video's Paddy. We go to Koh Chang often, but never the other smaller outlying islands. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

[@stephenfox4278]

I went to ko kood early this year and my new fave.. Super relaxing and i will be back. Good food , good people and Good times...

[@Nader_61]

I felt so relaxed and at peace watching this video 😊 I live in Sriracha now and have been getting very familiar with the inside of my apartment because of all the rain. Hopefully, it's coming to an end soon. Just starting to view your content. Really appreciate all of the info and travel ideas! Thank you for sharing! But...seeing you swimming in the ocean and sitting alone looked so sad. Certainly reminded me about how much I miss my loved ones and how lonely life can be at times.

[@andrewhyland9212]

Enjoy paradise while you can find it still unspoiled. That was stunning. Best way to spend a Sunday evening whilst ironing.

[@brianmarcuselementaryinstr6537]

Kudos to your editing skills. You really captured the peacefulness of the location.

[@roygoad2870]

Koh Kradan and Koh Ngai are also just as beautiful, they are in the Andaman Sea, get there via Koh Lanta. No roads, some quiet resorts, can hike to the other side of the islands. These are my favourite small islands so far!

[@kali5508]

This video brought such amazing memories from our time on Koh Wai. We stayed at the same place😀 I am so happy to see them still in business after covid! There we met people who just couldn't leave and were constantly extending their stay feom days to weeks😀

[@andrewgacutan7335]

The relaxation is Next Level

[@rainypraha]

What a wonderful video without any aggressive or provocative texts and images on its thumbnail but with very helpful and detailed information about the trip on the description. I enjoyed it pretty much. Thanks!

[@accanito]

i had koh mak and those islands in my bucket list...after your video, i can't wait to be there... p.s.: your editing and storytelling has grown so much recently...keep on doing like that Paddy

Paddy, the calmness in your voice in this video compared to the other videos is very soothing. A David Attenborough kind of narration if he ever described rustic blue chairs

[@eoghanhoman]

Hi Paddy - been following you a while now. I hope you know how great your videos are. It’s great to see you share the good and the bad side of being a vlogger. I watch your videos to take me back to my time in Thailand. And this video - well it’s one of those special ones where I’m transported back. Thanks and safe travels

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks 👍

[@nonfilin9738]

paradise island. I was so inspired that I decided to book the P1 cabin for two nights in October. I’m already looking forward to my stay and can’t wait to experience the stunning scenery and relaxing atmosphere in person. Thank you for the great recommendation!

[@nonfilin9738]

Thank you for this wonderful video showcasing the beautiful paradise island

[@audsy017]

Wow Paddy that is truly stunning, reminds me of Koh Jum when I was there in 2007, they did not have any electricity on the island then and generators shut off at 10, pitch black except for the sounds of nature, thanks for sharing

[@tet2mor282]

I usually don't watch boring videos but yours was calm and relaxing but super well done and beautiful👏👏👏👏. Thank you

[@johnshores4745]

Great an island for people who dislike other people surely Koh Mak offers a similar experience but without the complete solitude .

[@dansthaiary]

Paddy...WOW!! You hit this video out of the park! Amazing video - I felt like I was chilling on Koh Wai Beach! You so well captured the relaxed beach vibe in a video. Well done.

[@Isoweb1000]

I found your channel recently, something clicked with me how you talk about the people and the places you visit. I've been to Kao Sok in 2019 and it was just as amazing as you described it in one of your video's. I am looking forward to my next vacation where I'll try to find a peaceful island to stay on for some day. Also I've read the Expanse book series, and listened to it on audio books. I can tell you its quite an experience. One of my favorite book-series ever. The audio-books are superbly narrated, can't recommend it enough.

[@jamespardue3055]

Took a boat trip from Koh Chang 20 years ago through there, glad to see it's still pretty much unspoiled.

Incredible. This video just knocks me out, it's gorgeous. And the sounds of the waves?? Adds to the effect! p.s. If you could go back in time, 3 years ago, and someone told you that THIS would be in your future once you survived the crazy of these past years, would you even believe it? A very fine REWARD, sir!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

I had that exact thought whilst making this video ❤😊

[@jinglyjones1677]

oh my christ that food at 14:28 is killing me. I can hear the crunch and taste the chili. The man's a tease. I doubt there were many geordies eating better than that at that moment.

Hi Paddy, my husband and I have been following your channel for a while, BTW I’m Thai and he is Scottish.we are leaving in the Cayman Islands but we also visited Thailand almost every year.

Paddy, this is your best video yet. I've been to Koh Kood and Koh Chang. I'll definitely add the Koh Wai and Koh Mak to my itinerary when I visit Thailand next.

Your best video yet Paddy. Absolutely blown away by it if I am honest. Plus I fully endorse The Expanse book 😃

[@KeithAllanHowie]

one of your all time best videos!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Wow, thanks!

[@oldandbankrupt]

​@@PaddyDoyle. I'm confused. Did you go to the island from Thailand or Cambodia ? If Cambodia... where did you go through customs? Also... would it be possible to rent a speed boat for island hopping? There's a video idea I've never seen before.

[@jacquesmevel947]

We visited the islands in the aerea a few years ago. Things did not change too much. Very relaxing stay. Things are changing very quickly. The first time we visited Koh Lipe - over 20 years ago - far south of Thailand - it was about the same. Today ... !!! i hope you enjoyed your stay . Tere are still marvelous islands for dreamers. Enjoy.

[@tubeian]

Wonderful vid Paddy! The video and background music together with your calm voice over :) resembles the atmosphere of the island :)

By the way. If you fly Bangkok Airways, you can also use their airport lounges free of charge.

Great video Paddy! We will be in Thailand early next year and have been thinking about spending some time in the Koh Chang area. It sure is a beautiful place!!!!

[@LaoSoftware]

Laos has islands too in southern Laos. But it's not as modernize as Thailand. But islands of Don Det and Don Khong in Laos has a calming vibe. It's not crowded and noisy. It's quiet nature.

[@navneetchand9665]

Great video and another gem uncovered that I didn't know about. I'm going Thailand next year but a bit torn on how to spend my time. I want to go Koh Lipe and Koh kood but obviously they are very far away from each other. Would it be worth it spending the extra time travelling from Koh Kood to Koh Lipe or would it be better to stay around the Trat side and travel between the islands there ? (Koh kood, Koh Chang, Koh Wai - would one of these provide a similar experience as Koh Lipe?)

[@FelmarcLozada]

[@flutingaround]

It's a beautiful film but I am surprised he has shared it with humans that we know will overrun it and pollute it. 😢 Anything for a buck.

[@kellyhawes8612]

I honestly think people are lazy sheep and will keep heading to Phuket and Koh Samui because of direct flights. As long as these locations take time & effort to get to, the numbers hopefully will stay low. Koh Ngai, Koh Lanta, and Koh Lipe are still very similar to what they were 15 years ago.

[@christianeno3879]

Nice! I got quite turned off by the plastic pollution on Koh Samui's beaches the last few times that I visited. Looks like this island is still pretty clean. I wonder how the weather is like in November. Thanks, Paddy!
