Delicious NAKHON PHANOM 🇹🇭 A Part of ISAN You Can't Miss

[@johngagne4614]

Amazing Paddy! This is where you shine. Bringing the local people and vibe into your vids. How lucky are we to have you guide us through this wonderful journey. I will have to get to this location! Thank you my friend!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

So nice of you

[@jaymeskhor]

Hey Paddy, I went to Nakhon Phanom for three days and I truly truly enjoyed my time there, sadly I didn't have time to cross the Thai-Laos Friendly Bridge2 to Laos, but I will be back there again!

[@art5070]

I have to thank you for coming to our small town Nakhon Phanom, I wish you happiness and love from the Thai people.

[@IanTriggs]

That's not Phra That Phanom, that looks like Phra That Nakorn. The one you mentioned is about 50kms away in another town called That Phanom (still in Nakhon Phanom). It's considered to be one of the most revered temples in Thailand and is said to hold the rib bone of Buddha. Also, I think you should be doing Isaan its proper dues and venture out into the rural areas and meet the farmers. You'd be surprised at just how different it is. All the main towns are mostly clones of each other.

[@larshultberg6972]

Yes Phra That Phanom is about 30 minutes south of Nakhon Phanom. That is indeed an amazing temple. I was there during a large ceremony on January 1:st 2020. I stayed for hours inside the temple and soaked in the atmosphere. Probably the strongest Thai experience I had so far.

[@fair98fair]

How are the farms different? Can ypu go into it a bit more?

[@สมชายไสนารา]

@@fair98fair Different farmers plant different crops sometimes even same crops in a different way. You would be surprised at how many different types coconuts there are. Same for potatoe or banana and most other. If You just rush by on a bike off course you just see ... ahh a coconut tree ... visiting a farm and see how for instance how palmsugar ist harvested and made can be for sure a surprisingly entertaining expierience.

[@bclark4961]

Thanks for going to Nakhon Phanom. I’ve been eagerly waiting since you said you were going there next. I lived there many years ago. Of course, it’s changed a lot but it is still really good to see. I’m glad you had a great time! But I already knew it’s the best!

[@missSilje]

I just love the music the guy is playing in the street 😍 It really takes me back to Thailand 🇹🇭🥰

[@PaddyDoyle.]

yeah this town has music and dancing every night!

[@wisarut.nualkaew]

That’s song is called เต่างอย. super hit around Thailand.

[@Hercules718]

Only Thailand has that.

[@garethpotter]

I loved the Roaming Cook’s take on this place and yours too. I’m seriously considering venturing up north for a trip next time I’m in Thailand. I visited Chang Mai 30 years ago, but have mainly been in Bangkok, the islands and neighbouring countries since. This series has made me realise that there is so much more to Thailand. Thanks Paddy.

[@chomsscintaring2777]

There are many wonderful places in the countryside as well. Not only in the big cities, I hope you come to our country and enjoy your life some days.

[@wazzaoz5869]

Was in this province 2 years ago, and your video brought back some great memories. I love this part of Thailand

[@gervaisbilodeau8465]

A promenade by the river...always magicaI. I heard isaan music during my first trip 30 years ago. Nice to see that traditions are still kept alive. I wish I was there again. I'm envious of you Paddy.

[@BrianConrad-l9r]

My wife and I have just finished eating laab moo and som tam with sticky rice next door to the hotel you stayed in and we thoroughly enjoyed it, great recommendation Paddy, Nakhon Phanom is ace,thank you 🙏

[@larshultberg6972]

My favorite town in Isaan; Nakhon Phanom. I spent New Year’s Eve there some years ago.

[@keef6586]

Totally agree with you and Gary. My favourite place in Thailand I have visited and will only be an hours drive from my new home. Spent many weekends there and was a big factor in my decision where to live. Wonderful vibe particularly in the evenings and at weekends with the walking street market. The restaurant cruise which leaves next to your cruise is also great value. The cycling lane has now been completed and you can cycle for miles along the Mekong. Great to see the coffee wagon man still there on the front.

[@Midnightbridegroom]

I am from Nakhon Phantom. I am glad that you are enjoyed.

[@beverlyweber4122]

Watching this video...I am smiling. This is REAL Thailand, and I can't wait to get back over there to check out these provinces, including this one. Can't wait to color in the provinces on my Next Level Adventures shirt (only two colored in for now) I love that you listed all the provinces in your description, btw. Very helpful!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

I hope so too!

[@สมชายไสนารา]

Hey Paddy, beautiful video as always - unfortunately You made a little mistake. The temple we see in Your video is “Wat Phra That Nakorn“ NOT “Wat Phra That Phanom“. Wat Phra That Phanom is located 52 km south of Nakhon Phanom City. Its really worth a visit. Enjoy Your trip.

[@williamhartz8707]

Glad you’re enjoying the NE region of Thailand, Paddy. After 14 years working near Sriracha I moved to Roiet province and Isaan is like a different country to me. ( Rural…music…food…history) It is definitely not for the “city slicker” or the traveler who only has a couple weeks to explore but it takes some adjusting and research to know where to go. Best of all, the locals are friendly….they may seem “distant” at times but it is because they are not use to being around “farangs”. Definitely a Leo will add to the socializing.

[@mczcz9116]

Beautiful video Paddy,,,, the video was crisp, bright and clear....just loved the cinematography

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Awesome, thank you!

[@mczcz9116]

Geez, I commented before seeing the bit about your camera, but the GoPro 10 (?) did great.

[@chomsscintaring2777]

I'm happy you like Nakhon Phanom province, that is my hometown.

[@jamesreed4483]

I truly love watching your videos. They remind me of how lucky I am to live here in Thailand. Thank you.

[@kevinreily2529]

What makes Nakhon Phanom different than other cities in Issarn, is that it has Vietnamese Influence, along with Thai & Issarn. Ho Chi Minh lived here and the mix of the three cultures is quite unique.

[@dancingonmyown2834]

Wow! It make me want to go there right now! Thanks for vdo

[@chazzic1]

Hey Paddy, easiest way to make sure you get the regular somtam just say "somtam thai" no need to say mai sai bpoo plarah . Just " somtam thai" . Also if you don't want offal just say "Mai sai krueng nai krap"

[@markgower2538]

no innards!

[@kwannit5208]

Oh Paddy!! I can’t wait until I can visit my home town again 🙂 ….hopefully Soon. The food is just amazing, the people so chilled and the view of Laos just beautiful. 💚

[@chopperman10]

Paddy! You just get better and better at showcasing some of the very best of Thailand 🇹🇭 the people and diversity of the various cultures and food really comes out and paints a vivid story. Great work bro 👍 regards Bob

[@AmbientWalking]

How amazing is it that we can travel around Thailand via your channel? I really love traveling in this way! Thank you Paddy.

[@jasonborne899]

Another great one!! Thank you for all your hard work and thank you for introducing me to Gary’s channel. You both are amazing people and I would love to see you colab.

[@goldviper5280]

Another great video Paddy. You have such an inviting personality. The locals love your persona.

[@mariettathornton5924]

Oh Mr. Paddy Doyle- that was an awesome video!!! I think you may have convinced my husband and I to semi retire there in a few years time!! Might even check it out in February 2022!! Thanks for sharing this vlog with us!!! Sending you peace & love from San Francisco 😉🤩😘

[@shairamos3778]

hey paddy great video as always! such a good vibe in isan small correction- "mai hwan" means "not sweet" (: sugar is "nam tan" have a good one!

[@connielinz879]

I watched The Roaming Cook's video the other day on Nakhon Phanom and when he said he won't mind moving there, I thought it must have been great place to visit . Good to see you agree, I'll put it on my bucket list :)

[@PaddyDoyle.]

100%

[@britgerus1956Glenn]

Paddy, yet another fantastic post.. cheers Glenn

[@geoffreyrose1620]

A lot of Vietnamese people fled to Issan along the Mekong River in the Vietnam War.

[@cheakytoday]

Awesome... Will have to add to places to go visit. Always look forward to the honest food critic and then what "variation" is given

[@barryislandmike4151]

Another great film Paddy. Keep it going!

[@BOBBYARMY9]

I’ve just left Nakhon Phanom to Sakon Nakhon this morning. It so beautiful at night. I was there when I was 3 year old and left for studying in BKK. I miss the walking street last night since the hotel around there were fully book until next 2 month. I absolutely back there and try to book the hotel near by the market.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Bobby you WON!!!!! I promise I promise!!! Reply to this comment with your email or contact and ill get in touch with you. You can watch the LIVE giveaway in my Instagram too if you really don't believe me!

[@NickyDunn]

Hiya Paddy, you definitely know great content. Gary's channel is great for food. Always makes me hungry. Oh, Paddy, you have no luck with your equipment. Love the haircut on your windsock. Haha. I was only saying to my other half the other day how you wedge a bit of cardboard under your go pro chest mount. To get a good view. Your food looks lush. Your manhood of spice will get tested. I love that. Great video. Always good vibes. Have a great weekend.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks so much Nicky!!!

[@stevens8785]

This has to be the most enjoyable vlog you have produced yet. Sensational. The camera superglue trick had me PMSL. You are now more and more introducing the Thai people into your work and I absolutely love it and you are a natural at it. Well done Paddy Doyle. Next Level my friend. Huge thumbs up from me. Wish I could give you more of them :)

[@williamjusick2404]

Love this video. You capture the vibe of real Thai people.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

thanks

[@สุทธิศักดิ์มธุรพงศากุล]

On average, winter season in the Northeastern is colder than other regions of Thailand. and colder before, colder than the Northern. The closer it is to the Mekong River, the colder it gets. due to river wind

[@sabaideemai1]

Noted I’ll pay it a visit once back to Thailand 🌺 I am a fan of the roaming cook . 🍏

[@George.299]

wonderful place with a daily view of Laos Friendly local people and delicious local food,What more do you want from a Thailand journey? But the funny thing most of the backpackers never saw this place , cause they are all (99%) going the same route Bangkok-Chiang Mai- some islands in the south.

[@sugarcane9425]

There are many pagoda look like Pratad Panom. The actual one is 50 kgs approx away from town. It s really large and very beautiful. You should go there.

[@theroamingcook]

Awwwwwww thanks for the shout out buddy! I'll see you at 4 for the prem ♥️

[@PaddyDoyle.]

❤️👍❤️

[@williamhartz8707]

Heads up- be sure to explore the Phu Phan mountains in eastern Roiet. Definitely worth a couple days.

[@craigross341]

11:30 I'm guessing the lens constantly moves back and forward looking for focus. If the motor can't move it the ampage soars in the motor - because electric motors deliver all the torque all the time - and it would burn out.

[@tharinpanthumai8934]

Thank you very mush for your's video of my country and hope to see you again.

[@riodasperolas]

Hi, Paddy, “my waan” (ไม่ หวาน) means “not sweet” (doesn’t mean “no sugar”). So when you order “not sweet” they add less sweetener. For “no sugar” try: “Do not use sugar” , “please” “Yarh dsye naam taan” , “dye fraught” (อย่า ใช้ นำ้ ตาล , ได้ โปรด).

[@เปรียบดั่งจันทรา]

ไม่ ใส่ น้ำ ตาล นะครับ mai sai naam taan na krub

for the first time i hear good music i.e. best soundtrack for thailand on this channel, I want more of this local isaan music. Good vibe. Check also the US Musicgroup Khruangbin, they have a lot of issan music influence in their music

[@wisarut.nualkaew]

FYI : mai wan is not sweet, sometime they assume to be less sweet. wan noi is less sweet, so you should say mai sai nam tarn which is don’t put sugar in it.

[@up2u162]

Bánh mi are the best! And 555 on the wind sock vs dead 🐈!!🤣😂

[@favouritemusiclimyk8601]

Paddy, I am a Malaysian Chinese. I think "mai wan" means not sweet. If you dont want sugar at all, you need to say " mai sai nam dtam" which means dont put/ add sugar. Trying to help with my two cents worth of Thai language which I pick up recently. Tq for sharing another hidden gem of Thailand. Enjoy your journey of Thailand province.

[@thephotolifestyleblog]

Looks like such an awesome place mate! Definitely added to my long list of places to visit in Thailand. Keep up the great work buddy!!!!

[@texasruss]

Another great video. You're living the dream. I'm working hard everyday to sell out over here and retire there. I plan l on doing exactly what you're doing. Each province by motorbike. Thanks for keeping me connected until I can arrive in person.

[@HamNoytheDutchGuy]

Lovely video as always mate, realy enjoyed your energy 👍😊🙏 C Ya in the next one, cheers 🙌🍻

[@remnant888]

For coffee no sugar, say gaafae Mai sai namtaan. (Mai sai namtaan = no/don't add sugar). For camera fix, buy a 60baht two parts epoxy resin. Stronger than superglue and ideal travel fix for torn shoes, bags, etc. Cheers

[@noelj9396]

Hi Paddy. If you're travelling south from Nakhon Phanom, try Mukdahan and perhaps try a break from travelling on Dreamy at Loeng Nok Tha (nearest town to my birthplace). You might also be fascinated to find a disused airfield built by the British Army at Ban Khok Samran just a few KMs south of Loeng Nok Tha

Paddy you remind me of my Superglue disaster! On a flight from Bangkok to Singapore 20 years ago I broke a front tooth in my denture. I had Superglue in my carryon so off to the bathroom and stuck the broken tooth back in place. I foolishly put the denture back in my mouth before the glue had dried and spent the rest of the flight with my tongue glued to my denture.

Say “Mai-Sai-Num-Tarn” mean NO SUGAR. “Mai-Wan” mean less sugar but still sugar.

[@markgower2538]

yes don't PUT sugar

[@suwimolsae-tiew752]

Agree. Wan means sweet. So mai wan just mean no sweet which they still put sugar 5555. So no sugar you must say Mai sai namtan.

[@ThailandLifestyle]

Beautiful as always. Ask a Thai how to say: No sugar or without Sugar. 😉 I miss Sony. Even with the sound problem solved the GoPro is no match. Have a beautiful day. I am looking forward to your next adventure.

[@saiprom]

I never interested to go to Esan , because I love the Ocean, but after watching this VDO I am in interesting to visit Nakhon Phanom next time I visit Thailand, I love the music you play in the VDO Thai language can be very tricky as you mention when you said no sweet in Thai it’s meant you still want sweet but not too much , if you would have said no sugar in it at all that will be final word, ( mai sai numtan) , in English no sweet it the same meaning of no sugar but in Thai you have to be very specific of the words, it two different words to use is no sweet or no sugar in it , but sometimes sweet for Thai meat sugar so you have to say not in the food I need. thank you for sharing, I offered learning something on your VDO and always love watching your VDO

Hope you will have a chance to eat this. And welcome back again and again Ps. Next 9-17feb will have the biggest festival in Isan call Prathatpanom worship festival. Hope you still be there. Thank you again

[@ThailandThomas]

Booze cruise, Love it. Paddy you are in "No Time to be Sad" country of Chuck and Paige. Some real nice you tubers. Love the coffee Van thought about doing a few of those myself. My ex-wife of twenty years is Isan, so I have eaten a lot of Isan food. I agree with you Paddy. I really don't like all the organ meats they use. I have a running joke with her. I always ask whats on the menu for the day. She would say "See food" ie what ever crossed her path that day is what they eat. Could be fish, bugs, snakes, spiders, scorpions. ect. I once ate deep fried grasshoppers not bad.
