If you enjoy the content here and would like to support it directly. Read the description for all the ways you can ♥️

[@robertstitson]

Love that you've got your own video playing on the TV during the B roll 😆

[@Ourlifeisgood555]

Just watched this Video again because I am in Koh Phangan right now. Full moon party was last night and I can say Everything is coming back greatly. The rooms in Rin beach was fully booked. Thanks for your footage that motivated many ppl to come.

[@scott-hamilton]

Incredible! What a place. I can’t wait to get back to Thailand! Although I’m nervous that some things would have gone due to Covid I know the spirit of the people of Thailand will adapt and make it even better for people. 😀 Great work as always Paddy! 💙

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Absolutely Scott :)

[@elphantasimo]

I'm so glad I've stumbled upon your chanel mate, love your content and delivery. Your breath of fresh air. Big love from bahrain 🇧🇭

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks mate 😊

[@hannesworld]

I think it's so nice because there are less people there. I know it is bad for the Economy. But now is the right time to be there and enjoy the beauty of Thailand.

[@ericlaw5685]

I can't get enough of Thailand!

[@mariettathornton5924]

Great vlog Paddy- we’ve been to Koh Phangan a few years ago but was in the north eastern part of the island.....this video makes me regret not checking out Haad Rin:( I suppose we can always go back because of your vlog 😉 The hotel with the pool looks awesome and Thanks for sharing :)

[@BACKPACKTOPIA]

The full moon party has rightfully been called one of the worst examples of “everything that is wrong with backpacking tourism”. Most businesses in the area are not solely living off of the monthly full moon party. The few businesses that will fold if the full moon party doesn’t come back will move on to the next thing of the same kind and will recover faster financially than it will take the flora and the fauna of the island to recover from the negative environmental effects.

[@ellefsensbarmyarmy8491]

I’ve spent more than a yr in koh phangan, over a period of 3 yrs, and since I’m not a party guy I didn’t like the full moon. I’ ve been to around 10 I guess, but stayed at home for the most part. I think you are wrong though. The vast majority of the economy on the island is built around the full moon. Most places in Had Rin was only full 3-4 days every month. The hotels, restaurants, street vendors of all kinds and basically every other business on the island get their income from to the party. Had rin without the full moon would just be a small beach town, and a lot of the tourist that actually stay a white and explore other part of the island would never have come in the first place without the full moon. And I’m not even counting in the illegal economy with drugs etc that plays a big part on the island. Hopefully covid kills it, but I think it will be up and running again.

[@sunchildtine]

@@ellefsensbarmyarmy8491 back then, there was no internet booking. many people were arriving much earlier so they don't luck out on accommodation during the FMP week.

[@dabadoo7631]

some people just dont like to party and thats Ok, however some people do like to party

[@KillaWizardry]

Love you mate. Gonna save this for tomorrow morning (as usual). Keep up the amazing work. Legend 👍

[@keithgaler5586]

That beach looks so much better now.the parties were too much for me, I love the quieter places.

[@linkingirl100]

hi paddy, am someone who just loves watching travel vlogs. With the pandemic around and not being able to travel, videos like these are a great escape to enjoy things virtually. and i must say out of all the vloggers i religiously follow, i find your vlogs very well detailed and well presented. (you know how some vlogs are 80% occupied by the vlogeers face & blabbering!! lol ), It feels very balanced! wish to see more & more from you. Keep up the good work! :)

[@tup2u]

So beautiful - Another great one Paddy!!

[@kizza82ful]

You’ve become my favourite KZbinr. Your content is absolutely incredible. You’ve got such a great personality. Just booked our flights to go back to Thailand for the second time for a month next year, going to back pack with the family. Your videos are a huge help. Thank you. P.s has anyone ever said your Rory mcilroys double.

[@kitty4k9]

The kayaking was real & adventurous. It really tells how rocky and ancient the place has become.

[@santoshsco]

It's a thing for some Indians to have bachelor parties at haadrin. Though I haven't been there it's not sad to see the situation around.

[@lifeinasia4769]

Wow. I really liked the view of the lovely ocean. Koh Phangan is such a beautiful island. Thank you for sharing this. :)

[@TheCraigaberdeen]

Paddy, loving the whole Thailand series and your sense of humour. The last time I was in Haad Rin was 1995, I don't recognize anything, they didn't have paved roads, a night was beanbags on the beach with candles on a table and stumbling drunk back to your bungalow with a flashlight. Good memories. Enjoy yourself.

[@iamxjamesross]

Awesome video Paddy, The full moon moment was deep! It may not recover there, but in the future, there will be growth and a new scene. Memories will live on in those of us who experienced it, and there really will 'never be anything like it' but there will be new experiences for the new generation. You inspired me to start my Travel Hawai'i series! I hope one day we can meet up and experience some of the new adventures the world will give us post-covid.

[@WanderingWorldwidewithLiz]

Koh Phangan was one of my favorite islands though. Its so gorgeous and magical. I lived on haad rin during the first lockdown. It will never be the same. Stay safe Paddy. Love your channel.

[@Peppzzzz]

Thanx again for another great video ! I will surely visit this place!

[@Adrenalinefiend22]

Great video Paddy, thanks.

[@LEObondTraveller]

The Thai people are amazingly resilient. They are incredible at bouncing back from disasters. A La Tsunami 2004. I'm sure the international tourists will quickly bounce back with them. Afterall, there's nowhere quite like Thailand.

[@ashishgusani]

Gorgeous place, lovely scenes ❤️❤️

[@PaddyDoyle.]

It was!

[@craigmitchell848]

Ever time I watch one of your videos I can’t wait until the next one . Good job paddy

[@richardbayne7566]

Thanks for picking up those bottles mate.

[@familyontherun]

Fun watching this while still in Koh Phangan. Agree with everything you said. Haad Rin is definitely one of the best beaches in Thailand and you could be literally anywhere in the world.. it almost feels like Hawaii.. thank you for another great video.

[@missSilje]

Thank you yet again Paddy 😎👏 Keep em coming 🤩

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Will do!

[@danhoward6693]

Amazing adventure. Can't wait for the next one. Dan from Australia

[@zan-mariserfontein152]

Nice Paddy! Hope to see you next time you’re on our island ❤️

[@SamSung-mj6lg]

Im with you Paddy, i prefer the Thai scenes more than the commercialized Tourism scene.

[@barrbuff]

Your subs are growing!!! Liked your heart felt take on what covid has done to that area of Thailand. Everything is not always rainbows and sunsets. Having grown up during the Vietnam War, my mind always goes back to that conflict when I see the Thai people who were great allys of our troops during that messed up war.

[@grannylearns9156]

Watching him walk down that street I was envisioning it reborn - not gentrified, but a gentle rebirth, shops opening, maybe some lower priced apartments above, maybe a dance floor at one end of the street...

[@saiprom]

Wow the small island you kayak to it 🏝 it’s so beautiful., I love kayaking that would be a great adventure for me , thank you for sharing

[@johngagne986]

thanks for another stunner Paddy!

[@narellec]

Making me smile yet again. Love your vlogs!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

So glad!

[@gryffin2748]

Great place and great videos, Thanks!

[@NickyDunn]

Hiya Paddy, always enjoyable content. Lovely drone footage. Always good vibes. Sad to reflect on what was. But do not get down. Things will change again for the better. Wow. That sunset. Thank you for sharing. Safe travels. Have a great rest of the week. And Weekend. Take care.

[@annalaine3351]

I LOVE Ko Pha Ngan❤️ One of my fav places in Thailand! Been there many many times with my hubby and I cannot believe we've missed that little island you were on. Just have to check that out next time we're there😃 Thank you for showing this😃

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@nattidapitayawatchanakarn1331]

Hi Mr.Doyle I love every single your videos thank you so much for sharing positive vibe to us here... And make I feeling that I be there too while struggling Covid 19 lock down !!

[@vladkarni]

Thanks man! Gonna visit some of places you showed

[@potterkelly487]

Wow,what a difference in accommodation, from the last one. 🇨🇦❤️thank you, another great day!

[@dewaynehasty]

I"m in Koh Phangan now (Feb/24/2023) and will be going to my first Full Moon Party this March.

[@zacneoh7643]

Thanks for the great video again..

[@travelertrome8449]

Thank you, Paddy, for the great insight on the Full Moon Party. I did that back in 2003 and was one of the wildest nights of my life. Went to mushroom mountain too. Always my first thought when I think of Koh Phangan. I was wondering if you were going to vlog being there and now I know why you are not. The scene now is shocking to me. Top vlog once again, Paddy!

[@bridgetb9270]

Wow looks lovely and gave us an idea for staying there cheers paddy

[@Peppzzzz]

1 more minute ! Ready to watch it !!

[@ClaireHawkins]

Koh Phangan is gorgeous! I was there last month and just posted a video of my experience. I loved it!

[@showreelcd]

Great video, Thanks !

[@danallard]

You're really putting that auto-focus to the test! Nice to see how well it's working!

[@dorteandersen526]

Again and amazing video thanks for share ❤️🇩🇰😀

[@peterstoll8366]

Cool sunset - as per usual! But never get sick of them!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

It's my favourite 😜

[@mattyam1]

Next time I am over there I'm definitely getting out there and doing a little motorbike tour of my own. Thailand has thousands of beautiful places to visit and the people are so inviting. Thanks Paddy for the awesome content. 😎

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Sounds great!

[@AmbientWalking]

Amazing! Wow! I NEED A VACATION NOW!

[@joereeves8259]

Come on Paddy, it will come back, better than ever!! i have been here since 2004, remember the Sunami!!!I was in Koh Phang Gan a month ago and never seen it so quite.

[@hazdjb0019]

I can’t wait to move to Thailand next year! Vicariously living through your videos at the moment though haha

[@bolton737]

Thanks for another trip down memory lane Paddy. I’ve stayed on haad rin a few times at the bay shore resort. How good is the view and the road out of there heading down the west coast 🤘

[@juliehawkes1050]

Loved this .made me a bit sad seeing all the empty shut down bars and restaurants.love thailand my dream one day to come back.thank you for sharingxx

[@panapatl4538]

Nice video and thank for sharing, we wish that the normal life will come sooner. 😄😄

[@YINGJIEEE]

You're making me jealous with all these travels!

[@johng5433]

Love your videos and we will there in December ,cool that you pick up some waste ;)

[@thewarrens3576]

Our favourite island!! 😍 Will be back soon

[@ahmadfitriamir3122]

I also think the same that HaadRin beach defo the best I’ve visited. with White sandy beaches and clear water. You’re making me missing the place now!

[@MancTraveller]

Great video and loved the focus on the lack of tourism, I think this is important to some to see, it's pushing me to come back as soon as possible hope it does others too, we will party again!

[@phanneebutrabamrung73]

Amazing Your VDO is with a huge of interesting content,much more wonderful locations of Koh Pha gan.,showing the things are going on. I stay juned.Have a good luck and hope you can reach more and more subscribers.

[@Farang_Lifestyles]

Cheers to the good life....!!!!

[@denisewilson8465]

Great video!

[@ladayuen5323]

So many ginger in the stir fried on the dish, how luxurious. In Sydney ginger is $55- 60/ kg. Ha ha ha, i forgot what ginger tested like .....i could only imagine.

[@ryanbooth8421]

I think your videos are amazing mate. Keep it up. We love consuming your adventures.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks, will do!

[@tjeerdschiphorst9241]

Zo Nice that you are taling us on your journey. Cant wait to visit Thailand soon again. Such great memories. Maybe you talk about it in your upcoming videos but I’m curious what made you move to Thailand and how this experience of moving and living abroad has been! Would be nice and inspirational to hear as we are in the process of redirecting our lives 😜 keep on sharing your stories!

[@petercross6960]

epic sunset over the infinity pool, good job PD

[@michealdevitt3779]

Watching this a year later. So glad to see that full moon is back. Would love to be there for New Years Eve full moon 2022!❤🎉❤

[@terryoleary5424]

Nice Vlog mate . And nice to see the island as it really is , although sad that’s life today . I will get to Thailand before Xmas but I will be mostly in Thai areas, hopefully it helps some.

[@clairecompany5146]

Come back again now, you'll see how the island has changed! Also, you need to check out more places so people get a real feel for what it's like here. I've lived here 2.5 years and absolutely love it here, especially in the North of the island and the West Coast 😊

[@sashaw8236]

Love the touch of having you on the TV!

[@robshaztravels]

I hope the party has returned Paddy we will be there for the October full moon party 🎉

[@pazderajr]

so sad and so beautiful... this video is wau 👏

[@andrewrobinson2565]

ALL prices are Covid prices, I guess. 😫😎😃 Royal experiences. Marvellous. 👍

[@highbrand]

Haad Rin did look like a nice beach.

[@williamhartz8707]

As usual, the short personal travelogue makes me feel I am traveling with you, Paddy. I am anxious to get my Covid vaccination so I can leave Thailand’s NE countryside and visit the remote beaches once again.

[@user-bs4vb8vh6m]

Paradise Island 😇😲🤩👍

[@Cavells.Travells]

Thanks “Johnny - There’s Something Happening” for this channel recommendation…… First Video, well done Paddy …… this is great content and I’m subscribed, many more to view & looking forward to it mate

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Welcome 🤗

[@chapterlast]

Another great video. I've been to Koh Phangan once. I don't remember anything about it though so I assume I had a great time. My daughter has been up north in the Seattle area visiting her mom for the past week and a half, so I've been cracking open multiple cans of beer each evening watching multiple episodes of your Thailand videos (starting from the very first one) trying to chase you down to your present productions*. I'm about one year behind you at this point. Thanks for all of these - they have provided many an enjoyable evening. *I do watch each new Vietnam episode when it comes out though.

[@chapterlast]

Seriously, I haven't binge-watched this many travel videos since Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations. You should be proud of the quality work you're putting together.

[@melissafrye76]

As I have traveled around the US last year and this year I have asked different folks about the tourism and such. Some places have fared well and others not so well. This Friday I fly to Seattle for the weekend - mostly to see the mountains but also to try to see some Seattle sites. I am anticipating a fairly dreary Seattle adventure. We will see.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

lets hope for the best :)

[@xaviercruzado3860]

Image quality is great …. This auto focus zoom is amazing …. Good investment and thank you 🙏

[@continentalcoxons]

One place I've still not managed to get to in Thailand. Looks amazing.

[@jameshodson9448]

another beautiful place I think it will come back keep on trucking paddy nice 👍one

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks 👍

[@jonod7913]

I think you should stay for a few more weeks here! Paradise

[@josephhapp9]

🌺🌺🌺 When you were younger🤪 Loved the video,,,,,always.

[@riodasperolas]

Hi Paddy, regarding full moon parties, I may just be plain wrong but your mindset is too youthful to fit a “nostalgic” mood I sort of hear … Coming forward are the most awesome experiences and in due course pass out booze parties will look pretty tasteless .. do believe me. I’m not patronising , not a bit. I just felt I could play kill joy and in doing so cheering you up a bit.

[@Adrian-S.]

It's good that comment and chat are open the same time. Gave you a 'Like' in advance !

[@ambiencenature4479]

Very smooth playing your own video in the background Paddy 😂 Your content is awesome!

[@Greysonsgrandma]

It should come back I know all our stuff was cancelled through covid and this year they are bringing all our fairs and stuff is all restarting this summer 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 Once everyone’s travelling again it will happen

[@paulwildman6067]

If it doesn't come back as a party place it will came back as a paradise.

[@stashchat3416]

Damn, missed to Premiere. Will catch up later. But I'm sure it's next level :)

[@TheMightyBeer]

hahaha Mushroom mountain, Gosh I really miss the most beautiful beach in Thailand.

[@Dalarnanu]

Very nice video as always! Lovely place, but as you said, its probably wont come back to 30 000 plus people on the beach. Sadly. Looking forward to next video! Hugs from Sweden!

[@andrewgacutan7335]

Same here in the Philippines... Small businesses have taken a hit.. but dont worry Paddy they will be back.... Soon.

[@Englishman-Abroad]

I’m sure it will be back - and bigger. I prefer it as it is now but then I’m an old git. Nice vid fella.

[@N3v3rAround]

Loving the content bro. When you got to that snake beach pulling the kayak on the beach im like who's helping him film all these angles.

[@Chinshuenlightment]

Hi Paddy normally I would agree with you 100% that The C has destroyed some parts of Thailand but you forget the resilience of our hosts here in Thailand and they will bounce back from this as they have from so many disasters before. Keep the faith the moon party’s will be back big and better than before. Chin up Paddy it’s always darkest before the dawn 🙏🏻
