Insanely beautiful falls! And the color of that water 😍 Definitely adding this to my Thailand bucket list. I love that you didn't edit out yourself running back to the camera...so relatable! We were laughing so hard at the Thai "rafting". My husband is Thai and even he thought that was nuts haha

[@powderedtoastman3093]

Erowan is epic. Was there in 2005. Love all of Kanchanaburi province . One of the best

[@michaelbauch8972]

Hi Paddy, you should also visit the Huay Mae Khamin Falls appr. 40 km further on. Beautiful twisty road and the falls are even nicer than the Erawan!

[@petercross6960]

on my list, apparently much quieter due to the remoteness, plus there is the nearby ferry to cross the reservoir

[@kminpersonal7999]

Up++

[@keyoouen1027]

Agreed and you can drive right up to near the falls, less crowded and no fannying around with lifejackets.

[@ghostlhmra6075]

@@keyoouen1027i can swim normally or i have to ware stupid jacket?

[@AyeeeItsCam]

Had a similar experience in Costa Rica! Was white water rafting and we came to a calm spot in the river and the guides told everyone to jump in. Mind you, Costa Rica has crocodiles/caimans in their rivers. Super skeptical at first but wound up being one of my best memories of Costa Rica! But I totally understand why you didn't jump in lol

[@PaddyDoyle.]

oh wow! if I thought there were Crocs...NO WAY

[@PilgartExplores]

Those waterfalls look phenomenal 😍 I'm excited to see what we are going to see during the next couple of months. Glad the show is back on the road💪🏼

[@connielinz879]

Erawan Waterfall looked absolutely stunning......Nature at it's best❣I'm with you Paddy, jumping into the river looked very dodgy, never know what's under the water😳😆

[@PaddyDoyle.]

thanks!

[@ezemese]

I love how you show the part with going for your camera while getting up the levels 😂 I can totally relate to that when filming my runs, you do have to work twice 🤦‍♀️ also, pretty cheering to watch this positive 'summery' vid at 5am in 0 degrees 😳😂

Hahaha glad you like that bit lol

Paddy is finding his feet in moving foward after 77 provinces. Its a challenge to be sure to be sure .

[@davidmorris587]

I was at Erawan waterfall in January and like you I loved them. I agree with everything you said about them. My girlfriend and I stayed at a hotel on the river but we didn't get to go rafting. Chose the wrong hotel I guess. But the same day we went to the falls we also went to the Pho Phat caves nearby - another long climb. But in their way better even than the falls. Bu the way I'm 70 so I endorse what you say about the climb up the falls but I have to say two such climbs on the same day were a bit knackering. Keep up the good work. I find your videos remind me of where I would rather be than back here in a cold wet windy UK. Looking forward to the next one.

[@khahanpham8246]

Which hotel you stay there? I’ll go to KanchanBuri in Oct. travel agent recommend River Kwai Paradise hotel for me. But I see the room look not good

[@beanz308]

Paddy, good to meet you at Level 3 and Level 7 of Erawan Falls. Safe and exciting travels on the rest of your journey.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

You too mate 🙂

[@jomontanee]

Where? What minute? 😍

[@ThailandThomas]

Love Erawan falls. What a great place. Great swimming spot. You are just working to hard Paddy. I jump into white water quit often with just my life jacket, lots of fun.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

it sure is!

[@PaulT27]

Absolutely beautiful 🤩 truly amazing. Thank you for sharing with us such a beautiful part of Thailand 🇹🇭. I understand about not jumping I probably wouldn’t either but I’ll definitely be visiting Love your work mate .

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks mate!

[@lekiescafe15]

You did the right thing for not jumping in. the tide is very strong And there is still an invisible vortex beneath the surface. There are always people who have accidents. But anyway, it's still beautiful and fun. Great VDO bro. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@stephenjedrey5370]

OMG, what a blast that day looked like. Thanks for show me something in Thailand I have never seen before. I will be visiting that for sure and thanks for putting a smile on my face living vicariously thru you.

Hello! Lovely video with amazing scenery. And LOL at 6.59 into the video, it really looks like that man is taking a piss...😃🤣😂. Have a great day🖖

[@NickyDunn]

Hiya Paddy, Love this. All the work that goes into filming. Good workout day. Beautiful place. Informative. Great advice. That the thing as you get older, I am the same. Always think this could hurt. Nice video. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week.

[@pgatovcranbrook2033]

I've been to kanchanaburi.. waterfall, river floating house cruising along the river overnight... absolutely unforgettable memories happened there back 30years ago.

[@theauroralightyr]

Thumbs up for your great work. Your vlog could directly and indirectly promote many attractions in Thailand. TAT should give you a title for Thailand's tourisim ambassador. Keep up your good work. - Your Thai FC.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Wow, thanks

[@andyl7174]

Great video paddy I would've loved a day out like that and the party after of course. Really amazing place. Look forward to the next one 👌👍

[@WeWanderlustCo]

Paddy thank you for the wonderful video. I (Shafeen) was pretty depressed about all that’s going on in Ukraine but seeing your videos and smile uplifted my spirit and my day. Good bless 💛

[@beverlyweber4122]

Paddy, I kind of agree with you! I wonder about jumping into a fast moving river as well! The raft looks cool though and those waterfalls are gorgeous. Fun to watch!

Ive done this exact thing its great. Everybody has beers and food as local beers and alchol is super expensive being in the middle of nowhere. But that current really does push you down stream, you look so confused about it all.

[@AzShahid-allthingsThai]

Hi Paddy great vlog mate, the family and I went on a road trip and we went to Erawan falls, absolutely beautiful, we went to level 7 then went swimming afterwards, I’ve got it in my playlist and can’t wait to go back 👌🏼

[@cassytapper8886]

It’s on my list of must sees now, just stunning 🤩

Hi Paddy. Just wanted to say thanks for the recommendation about Erawan Falls. You inspired me to add it to my Thai bucket list and I recently checked it out with my family. Truly amazing. Thanks for the tip!

[@blackthaiaffair1475]

Cool video and thanks for sharing the adventure!! :) and no temple! lol awesome day!

[@melissafrye76]

This day looked like so much fun, even with the hiccup of not being able to find places. I totally get not wanting to do things like jump into the river ... I won't go sledding any more because the last time I went - almost 15 years ago - I got knocked flat on my back because someone slid into me ... So I'm not even remotely interested in winter weather activities now. 😆😁

[@JorgenD-original]

Very nice video. You also have good professional production with cutting, sound

[@cookingwithjeabthaistyle8312]

My favourite place 😍 we normally rent a tent for the night next to the lake 🏕

[@cherylbutterworth6293]

Wow! Loving the music at level 3 and it's so good to see you on the road again. Love it!

[@antruok4950]

Epic 👌 - I think that even though you got on the big raft unprepared etc. it made the video more wow - the falls was special - 😎👌🙏👍👊🍻

[@teresabarberot2506]

The waterfall swimming was so fine! I couldn’t stop laughing from your bewilderment of what was going on and then everyone jumping in that river was too much lol. You were smart to stay on that raft. No way I would have followed the crowd either!

[@frankietorres6740]

Great video. You show us many things that we would never experience for ourselves. Thank you for that. Please don't feel that you need to do anything that makes you uncomfortable for the sake of a video. We love you just the way you are. 👍

[@BangkokExplorer]

Looking forward to having a swim at the falls! Looks stunning! We’ll probably follow your example and avoid jumping from the raft too. Heard the massive fish love a bit of ginger, so I’d be doomed! 🐟😳

Erawan waterfall looks stunning and I have seen this same hotel on Lucas's channel when he went on motorbike loop trip with his pattaya buddies.

Just that waterfall would make it worth the trip! Stunningly beautiful! I'm with you, I'm not jumping off a perfectly fine 'raft'! I'm curious, though, about where they ended up? Back on the raft? Or did they just float back to where they started?🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm glad to see you back on the road again! Another awesome 😎👍 video! Stay safe!

Absolutely amazing vlog (they all are before you think it) I really loved the falls and the rafting to the max, and kanchaburi is on my places to visit on my next trip. I have a question for you, or more like advice I’m looking for, when going on the jungle treks, and especially to the waterfalls where you know your goner get your feet wet, and paths are slippery, what footwear do you recommend? (Styles/brands etc etc) as I know flip flops ain’t cut out for trekking. Any advice/recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you 🙏

Petchabun and kachanburi my favorite province of. Thailand!

[@Crazygirl2055]

Hey Paddy. When we visited Kanchanabury we stayed at a hotel on the river in 2019 and it was for about $60 usd. It also included breakfast and a dinner. I think the hotel may have been called The River Hotel or something like that. I remember the hotel being near the cave temple and the place with the people that have the rings on their necks. It was a really nice experience. Looking forward on going back.

[@Crazygirl2055]

Oh yeah. The current was ridiculously mental. I felt tempted to jump in a couple of times but when we checked in the guy doing our walk through showed me a snake jumping into the river near our hotel not to far from we’re you would jumó in to the current.

[@TicketToRideAsia]

Looks excellent, should've jumped in!

This one had me laughing out loud Paddy. Great adventure!

Erawan falls are stunning! Do you have any tips for solo travellers about leaving your bag/non waterproof cameras etc when you go for a swim? Did you just leave your stuff in your sightline on the bank or are there lockers or something in the area where you get your life jackets?

[@mwaffaqwazzan892]

Like 👍Where did you book the rafting boat?

[@user-bs4vb8vh6m]

Before, the River Kwai was quite strong and deep, but now it has a dam, so the current is weaker and shallower.
