[@PaddyDoyle.]

Can't wait to explore this amazing country 🇻🇳

[@Richard-ke6mw]

Can't wait to see you explore the most amazing country in South East Asia! Enjoy!

[@marklawrence3055]

After Thailand it's my favourite country well done paddy enjoy your trip 🙏🙏🙏

[@DanishBacon555]

They dont call it Vietscam for no reason!

[@evansmusic2009]

Vietnamese coffee is one of the best in the world... Chocolate notes.... But condensed milk= sugar!... I never traveled the north...much prefer the south, but then I love Isaan .. Hue was possibly the saddest place I ever visited!

[@thaireetired75]

Looking forward to seeing it with you paddy buzzing for you.. 💪🙏

[@congtangtonnuquynhnga2976]

This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. "Vietnam. It grabs you and doesn't let you go. Once you love it, you love it forever. I've been coming here since 2000, the first time I'd been in this part of the world, and it's held a special place in my heart and my imagination since. I keep coming back, I have to." - Anthony Bourdain

[@stephenjedrey5370]

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning and be awoken to a brand new adventure. Keep doing what you do and you have no idea how excited I am to see you in a new country and a bit out of your comfort zone. Looking forward to living vicariously thru you on your Next Level adventure.

[@ashishgusani]

What an absolute belter of an episode!! What a start, you captured the essence of Hanoi, of Vietnam and just why SE Asia is the pinnacle of travelling! So looking forward to more, Vietnam is definitely in my top 3 travel destinations!! And Super Dreamy looks epic too!!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks Ash. It really feels great to be in a new country

[@guernseygirl6608]

It was a belter. agreed :)

[@malikahonthemove]

I think you will love Vietnam! It's very different from Thailand. I arrived this morning for my second trip here. This time I am in Da Lat. Enjoy and be safe!

[@Mrfrontrow]

Really looking forward to your tour around Vietnam. I spent a couple weeks there almost exactly 22 years ago, which was towards the beginning of their tourist development. I’ll bet quite a bit has changed since then. Keep up the good work. Very excited to share the sites with you. All the best to you from San Diego California.

[@mradams8802]

Ahh, I miss Vietnam, my favourite country that I have visited on my travels. Thanks for bringing back the memories. 👌🏻

[@sjmoss1978]

i have such a close bond to Vietnam through my wife, so this journey is more so special to me. Add you into that mix and this is going to be an incredible series! First episode was epic, it's going to be one wildly entertaining journey throughout Vietnam Paddy!

[@davidcolinburt]

Thank you for a very enjoyable kick-off to the Vietnam adventure series. Crossing the street on foot in the old Hanoi quarter is an adventure in itself. Just keep going. Motorists, mostly bikers have a way of swirling past you as you cross the street. They move together like a school of agile fish . . . or a Canadian hockey team. Nice looking bike at a decent price! Ready to rock. Let it roll. Cheers. dcb

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks 👍

[@proudlynomadic]

Yep, we already love Vietnam 😍. This video, even though it’s only the first, has us hooked and wanting to see more. Like we want to go walk the streets and just walk down all these random streets and stalls 🥹. Great start to this new series Paddy!! PS. Love the new bike. And that price? Wtf 😳🙌🏾

[@mczcz9116]

From Budgeteers to travelling all the provinces of Thailand and now a great start to seeing Vietnam 'North to South'. I love it already....

[@travelertrome8449]

Great first vlog in Vietnam, Paddy! I love your new intro too! I was in Hanoi back in 2012. Can't wait to see you start exploring! Those locals you met at the karaoke bar are so friendly! Gotta love travel!

[@markleir4326]

Paddy - My wife and I really enjoyed your series on Vietnam. We watched all of them in October 2022 in preparation for our November 2022 backpacking trip to Vietnam. You are well spoken and informative and your videos have great imagery with quality production. Your travel style and values also match ours. We are curently in Tam Coc and we saluted the Backpackers Hostel where you stayed! Good luck in Laos.

[@jodycanfield6684]

I must admit that I was quite impressed with the number of people that spoke English in Hanoi. They seem very friendly toward foreigners. "New" bike, accommodating sales and service I'm enjoying this new adventure!

[@cubgsan]

Good day to you! I am an senior rider on HONDA Cross Cub from Japan. I am enjoying camping, touring and uploading You Tube video. This is so nice adventure video!! Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing! Have a nice day my friend !!

[@tbarton00]

Stoked for this new chapter of the vlog. Vietnam has been near the top of my travel list for years, can't wait to see what you get in to.

[@Mr.judele]

Thanks! How come you were so calm and positive in any circumstances? Great videos though.

[@laurajeanrobins6995]

Ah this makes me miss Vietnam, I’ve only just moved back home after living there, hope you have the most amazing trip! Xoxox

[@ThailandThomas]

Congrats on making it to Vietnam Paddy. Great intro next level for sure. You brought that Paddy Doyle charm and magic! I totally enjoyed the the entire video. Looking forward to more!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks Thomas 💘

[@matsoniadrive4807]

Loved this episode. Such positive vibes! Cant wait to watch the rest.

[@chrisp9102]

22:13 - Paddy, you look so happy and your words nailed it: freedom

[@dpkrist8047]

Cant wait to watch this adventure. I am planning similar in 2 years time. Good luck

[@SweetLifeLanta]

Perfect. Can't wait for the rest!

[@gaborvalasek6913]

Not sure how actual this piece of information is, but we were told that it's best to register your SIM card at one of your carrier's shop (too) in Vietnam. They said that unregistered SIMs are sometimes locked down and the most reliable way to avoid that is to go through the registration in a carrier office. Although you might need all your hand-waving and drawing skills to convey this intent once you are there :) Can't wait to see more of this trip!

[@MrSummerblade]

Yeah, just need your passport from what I remember

[@donalodonovan9967]

Really enjoy all your Video's Paddy !! I love Asia , and this inspires me to get back ! Never been to Viatnam but I hope I will get there soon thanks in no small part to your video's 👌

[@donalodonovan9967]

Excuse me ..." Vietnam "😊 !!!

[@mouddin2092]

Love the video! I just came back from Hanoi. It was my third trip and its really an amazing country. But, I have to disagree that nothing changed. I was there back in 2012 and a loooooot have changed since than. Cant wait to see your adventure. Good luck!

[@sirrexkantatero]

4K!!! Awesome 👏

[@shocks123]

your a legend! Thanks for taking us with you

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks Steve 🙂

[@tommym1966]

Stayed at the hotel just across from beer corner. Amazing to look down at it then go down and get stuck into some 20k dong Bier Hanois. Loved the Old Quarter.

[@PaulTAdventures]

Absolutely so looking forward to this .. Awesome intro and now let’s journey with you in Vietnam 🇻🇳. Safe travels…

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks Paul 😊

[@ChristheFreelancer]

I don’t know how you do it but your videos feel so real and raw yet interesting at the same time. I admire your talent bro. Keep up the great work 👍

[@ingeborgart4524]

Great. Felt excited watching as we remember our trip in Sept 2019 very well. By the way, the hotels were also often inexpensive if you get tired of the backpacker scene.

[@glennjones1533]

I was last in Hanoi in 2012. Loved it. This vid just makes me want to everything you're doing.

[@Drunk3nMonk3y72]

@4:30 the smell off vinegar coud be the air-con. My room in Thaiand had that smell, and that's what it was.

[@Chrisarmyvet]

Great to see you in Vietnam Paddy, safe travels....CJ

[@Wanderlust.travelandcoffee]

So chuffed to have you back on the road again...I have laughed and cried so far this series. Your a bloody little legend, this makes me miss Vietnam so badly. The north is gorgeous. Hope your getting up to Sapa? Safe travels buddy and until next episode 🙏❤️😀

[@bobcat2960]

So happy you made it safe to Vietnam, Paddy. Thrilled to hear you chose this as your (and our) next big adventure and think you're going to adore Vietnam as much if not more than Thailand. I think you should plan for 3 months, not 2, Paddy, since there's so much I hope you show us, your virtual family. Also, I suggest the new name for 'new dreamy' as: "nằm mộng" which means, dreamy in Vietnamese, and just...fits the new Super Dream Honda to a T, and yes, "Family Vehicle" really fits what nằm mộng is now, us-your family, like steffi commented. Stay safe and enjoy, bro.

[@onlylove-fn3zg]

Hanoi is by far my favorite city ,just amazing.

[@johnv5156]

My wife and I are planning on spending quite a bit of time in Vietnam next year. I followed your Thai adventures from Day 1, I look forward to this one.

[@steffihei]

“Family vehicle” good choice since you’re bringing all of us on the trip 😇 Go Paddy!!

[@loongmichael7367]

Have fun and ride safe. Looking forward to all your videos

[@michaln9880]

Oh man, I was in Hanoi last week already missing it ! Safe travels and enjoy !!

[@dhirenbanerjei8462]

I'm Damien from Delhi, and have been working in China since 2006. So glad you made it to Vietnam, I've been following you for the last 3 years (since you started the channel). Best of luck and I hope you change your Tyres and tubes. Getting stuck in the middle of the country with a flat tyre and no kit to repair it, isn’t fun! I know from experience. I love Thailand and have been to the coastal areas and islands many times since 2007. Vietnam, I haven't been to and though I've seen many videos on it I'm dying to watch how you fare on your trip to the north and again to the South. I'd be honoured to meet you some day when things are better. Best wishes and a safe journey. Cheerio!

[@michi_travelss]

I love Hanoi! This is so exciting! I'm sure you'll enjoy this adventure so much! 🤩

[@Chinhnguyen0497]

best Vietnam travel vlogs so far. i've watched your series 3 time

[@hungcuongnguyen293]

Welcome to Vietnam . Have a good trip but drive carefully though . Stay safe and healthy my friend

[@TheThailightZone]

Excellent bike choice. Those things are built like tanks, and you can get them repaired anywhere. I'm really looking forward to this Vietnam series.

[@0bob0cya]

Great buy. Looking forward to your adventures youngster.

[@bryancole842]

Enjoyed this first episode in Vietnam!!! Incredible to see how your vlogging skills have come along. Cheers.

[@SHADO3DMC]

Been doing what you do for 30 years, Love it bro, Your Videos are great mate!

[@johngagne986]

This will be wonderful to watch Paddy! Love Vietnam. It will be a bit "less friendly" than Thailand but you will meet many great people and have amazing food. Love the new Super Dreamy! Here is my prayer that it serves you well and is comfortable and reliable. The seat looks good and those guys were great to get your side boxes all mounted! Be well my Friend and say hello to Miss P. I will head back to Thailand in November so I can stop for a week or so in Qatar to see some world cup matches on the way!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks John 😊

[@wbev_thai1666]

I’m in Thailand for two months and then I need to leave and do a border run , would you recommend going Vietnam for my first time and for my final month of this trip, if so where would you recommend, for safety and scenery

[@MinhNguyen-ff6xf]

The Viets of course are less friendly than Thai because they’re more similar to East Asian culture (Chinese, Korean, and Japanese). Thailand has all Southeast Asian vibes, and the language itself makes speakers look like they smile all the time. I think traumatic incidents in the past make the Viets look serious all the time like Russians. if you experienced what they had to endure, you would understand

[@MinhNguyen-ff6xf]

@@wbev_thai1666 I recommend Da Nang, Nha Trang, Da Lat, Sa Pa, Can Tho, and Saigon. You need to watch your belongings properly in Saigon because it’s a thief nest. Then, traffic is another issue. Besides those two problems, everything else is great

[@johngagne986]

@@MinhNguyen-ff6xf Hi Minh. I think I should have said "more reserved" instead of less friendly. Please know I have always experienced wonderful people in my travels there.

[@carlitopick]

Great start on your new adventure. I'm a new subscriber to your channel. I live in the Philippines, and have just started watching your Philippine blog series. I am a retired U.S. serviceman, who has lived here in the Philippines for the past thirty five years. I love your enthusiasm, and sense of adventure. I was last in Vietnam during the war in 1968.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Welcome, enjoy the Vietnamese series

[@HamNoytheDutchGuy]

So great to see you in level 2 adventures in Vietnam mate 👊. We start today on this series and watch a few episodes, we (or i must say, the misses) thank you for the Thai subs mate as always 🙏 Maybe one day our paths will cross, cause this year it didn't work out. We are set for your Vietnam journey, and by now you are back in Thailand already, give miss P a hug mate 😉 Well done on scoring that bike, bringing your side boxes, and i think the gorpro mounth on the steering is a great approvement mate, good thinking ahead buddy 💪 And as always, C Ya in the next one, cheers 🙌🍻 P.S. all the phuket episodes will be watched another day 🤫

[@AuntyJack123]

Woohoo I bet you are stoked with your new bike 👍

[@bncarpenter17]

I'm too old for the dorms too. So happy to see you back on the road Paddy!

[@leedevaney]

Good luck Paddy amazing start.

[@mrfrano100]

Well done. That feels like travelling again

[@brunowinter931]

Congratulations to your new adventure and the nice bike. I'm looking forward to all your videos of Vietnam. It is really much more lively compared to Thailand AND No Masks!!!! Vietnam has a French colony history as French Indochina, so that's why you have the Cathedrals and driving on the right hand side. That means quite a lot of spots for you to stop by.

[@tegancheney1627]

Hey Paddy, I'm Aaron Cheney's wife... you're making it very hard for us to say no to travelling to Vietnam my friend... thank you for doing what you do, we really enjoy watching your channel

[@moonyshine]

No im Aaron cheneys wife ...

[@DylanVoerman]

Hanoi climate is perfect for mold and vinegar is good to kill the mold ;-)

[@audreysenior7228]

Great episode! Vietnam is next on our list so eagerly anticipating your adventures 🤗

[@bunterngkhemwong]

Can't wait to see your new adv there.

[@michaelstark5663]

Cant wait for level 10...the boss level.

[@sandybeautydiary]

I love your humor and vibrant personality! I immediately subscribed.

[@thebrokearchitect]

Fantastic video! I'm looking forward to the next one!

[@tulippasta]

Paddy makes better videos after 3 pints than most travel youtubers do sober. You're the hardest working man in showbiz paddy!

[@teresabarberot2506]

Great first episode. Looking forward to touring Vietnam with you and Super Dreamy. No doubt you will show us a Next Level Adventure here too. Your good sense of humor and teaching skills make sightseeing enjoyable. 🤗

[@consciouscollective33]

Great to see you made it to Vietnam. Very excited to watch your new adventure. Loved the entire Thailand series! Hope you have a blast Did you previously wreck a larger motorbike? I think you would be happily surprised with a 175cc or 150cc. I feel much safer going up and down mountains on something larger than a 125cc. Especially if you have a second person on the back or a lot of gear, bigger than 125cc is TOP.

[@toddhildebrand]

Another awesome video!

[@sabinasdp]

Great video, and I was SO curious about Dubai. Honestly it wouldn't be a destination I'd choose, but it is nice and SO different. Amazingly clean and modern, and the architecture is stunning, of course. Haha, and that dessert looked very, very interesting and GOOD! Thanks for sharing!

[@marksoler7338]

Love your work! You put great care in setting up shots and editing. I look back on some of my trips as a young person and also realized I didn't get the full experience, and with longer hair too! Carry on and I hope you stay healthy and in one peice!

[@jane-BKK]

Wow...new editing style with animation location..best vlogger in the world.

[@johannavanwinkle815]

So excited about your new adventure in Viet Nam! I haven't been there yet so happy to follow along on your trip!

[@highbrand]

Great start. Feels like we are discovering new things along with you.

[@HenryWrideExplores]

Have a blast Paddy, can't wait to watch this!!

[@sandrasharif367]

Well Sir Paddy, GOD IS GOOD 👍 Super Dreamy “Family Edition” is on and Poppin!!! Great job finding Dreamy 5.0! Ready for Vietnam 🇻🇳 and all her Beauty & Gems 💎 Cheers Can't wait 🍺

[@martmarten5341]

Good luck on the next level 👍👍👍 I'm looking forward 😀

[@johnb270]

Great video Paddy - so professional. Really enjoy seeing your youth, vitality and enthusiasm. You're bringing a lot of joy into many age groups including mine. I'm in my mid seventies. Good luck on this Vietnamese adventure. Look forward to more of these fascinating videos. 🇻🇳 🌞

[@LoneWolf-Uk]

Good choice of motorcycle dude. 👌Much better than a bigger "scary" bike, especially on the roads you travel and explore. ;) Easier to maneuver in traffic and *off road.* Cheaper to fix if anything goes wrong, cheaper to refuel, giving you more smiles per mile. Good luck, have fun. 🕊Again, best wishes from the Lone Wolf in the lakes. 🐺

[@davidandjarenwicklund4933]

You make mundane daily travel very interesting and fun... Great editing, btw!

[@tranhoangphuong125]

Few years ago, I was a backpacker and traveled almost places in Vietnam. Your trip is inspiring me to take bag and ride again. Thanks for your sharing.

[@stevendavies4842]

I'm addicted to your channel can't wait to see all this series. Well done paddy

[@davemoss4395]

Cheers Paddy 🍻Enjoy ‘Nam’ a crazy but incredible place. My only motor bike adventure there was doing the Hai Van Pass between Hue and Hoi An, absolutely breathtaking!! Make sure you stop off at Lang Co Bay and have lunch on the beach at the Bien Ngoc seafood restaurant, simply stunning….

[@wytchend]

Paddyyyyyyy you inspire me! Finally getting back to Thailand next month, but the plan is to do what you are doing. ride safe mate

[@fayewalker3346]

So good to meet you! Enjoy the rest of your time in Vietnam and beyond❤️

[@markbehan3258]

I came to Vietnam a week after the opened in March of this year and ended up staying two months! Had an absolute ball!

[@TwinForce-e3m]

Me Too , to old for Hostel , Thats why we built a Truck RV here for road trips . Today we finally get the RV back from BKK DMV , registered and license finally . Its been a slog to get to this point , next Road Trips -final ly decide which way to go , look at my site shows RV we built by Classic Car Caravan Factory.

[@paulharrigan3098]

Paddy. amazing series of videos so informative and informal commentary. i am going in May 2023 on a 16 day tour, Hanoi, halong bay, nimh binh, hoi an, hue and ho chi minh. i am into photography and food and this is my holiday of a lifetime and you explain so well what to expect. Paul ireland

[@chrisdavisunofficial]

What a great introduction to a new country! Well done, Paddy.

[@hamburger-fries]

Holy smokes! This was your best video ever! And I watched them all :-) Editing is next Level 2 :-)

[@david-reason]

If you hire a car in Vietnam, it comes with a driver. This avoids the dangers of foreigners crashing and driving on the wrong side of the road and killing people. It makes a lot of sense. So I guess bikes are the same. Good to see "Dreamy" V1 - Dreamy Version 1 OR Vietnam 1 . . . Best wishes from Bangkok.

[@cathyhughes7442]

It feels so good to be back on adventures again. Beautiful old buildings there. Cathy and Kevs x

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Paddy that was brilliant. I'm a bit late to this series but I feel like I've just found a new Netflix series to binge watch. ;-)

Happy for ya, man!

Call your new bike STEAMY. Congrats on your new series. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@kevinf-b5065]

I loved Vietnam but could only get a 14 day visa so did north, Hanoi and Halong bay, Ho Chi Min and South by plane then flew to Hoi An, beautiful place and great beaches.
