lmao the monkey jumpscare had me laughing

[@Me_and_My_B]

It brings back memories..... 12 years ago on my first trip to Thailand they used to let 40 people per night stay over and party and sleep on the beach in Maya Bay......that night there was a huge thunderstorm at 10.30pm for 30 min......followed by clear sky's full of stars........totally amazing. I was so blessed that night.

[@outdoorstours]

So nice video, beautiful views from Koh Phi Phi, thanks for sharing dear. All the best

[@sabaideemai1]

I loved every second of this simple video with great views. You live only once, spend the green paper bills. Your eyes sparkled from happiness. You naild it dear Paddy. You brought me back sweet memories from phi phi.

[@KenAbroad]

Cool to see you had the chance to experience Koh Phi Phi with almost zero tourists as well, such a beautiful piece of earth😊

[@idzuanazam]

Hi Ken! You are here too haha. You guys inspired my Malaysian North and East-West road trip in Jan 2021. Next will be my Southern Thai rental car road trip which may end in Bangkok. But just not sure whether a week would be enough 😃

[@BIGJED75]

Is Phi Phi closed now Ken?

[@bkksuperb]

Hi ken

[@chrisdavisunofficial]

I love your channel, too, Ken. Keep up the awesome work.

[@beforetherewerefences1257]

good to see you two connected. love watching both channels.

[@ashishgusani]

Amazing from start to finish mate.. the scary bits, the beautiful bits, the poignant bits.. a beautiful reminder of why we all love Thailand so much. ❤️❤️

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Absolutely Ash

[@narellec]

Maya bay tour gave me goosebumps ... I’ve been there... during mass tourism days...you’re so lucky! I loved those pristine mangroves on the hike you did. Gorgeous.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Absolutely insane 😂

[@MancTraveller]

Wow what a sunset on the Kayak, great tune choice too, almost like being as Cafe Mambo Sunset, only better :-) I actually felt like I was struggling with you when you were trying to get out!

[@rebeccad8568]

I visited Maya beach in 2008 and it was as your photo showed. Horrendous. Everywhere I pointed my camera there was more people than beach so to speak. You are extremely lucky for that experience and it’s so good that they now care about rejuvenating the area 👍❤️ 🏝

[@valeriegagnon4819]

I've been in Koh phi phi in January 2018. It was one of my favorite place in Thailand! It was way more crowded obviously but still is one of my favorite places on earth! What a chance you have being there Paddy! Enjoy!! Cheers mate!

[@reneechampagne4081]

This is your element. Love seeing the Thai scenery, but meeting & interacting with the locals is what you’re best at. 🙌

[@terriwensley2824]

Loved this one! I stayed in Krabi in 2004, was there 2 weeks before the tsunami. You bring back wonderful memories with these last 2 videos.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Wow!♥️

[@Lauren_aida]

This whole series really has been "next level", but this is definitely my favorite episode so far!

[@DolbyDogAdventures]

We went there in 2000 when it was starting to get popular. You are so lucky to have had it pretty much to yourself. Cherish these memories Paddy as your unlikely to experience it like that again.

[@brothersman524]

Awesome video Went on day trips to Phi Phi a few times and also stayed on the island for 3 nights. It is one of my favourite Thai islands for sure but my favourite is Koh Lipe in the deep south close to Malaysia

[@lukeramsden44]

After trawling through many different peoples travel videos on youtube I think I've found my favourite. I genuinely really enjoy these videos you do, you seem to travel the exact way I like to travel. It gets me so excited watching your videos and remembering when I was doing the same thing and I cant wait to be back doing it all again. Honestly Paddy, great stuff mate and keep it up, you are definitely putting a smile on my face 👍🏻😁

[@Runner656]

Wow! The reason we didn't go to Phi Phi was the crowds. So glad to see Maya returning to it's former beauty!! I feel like mailing you a wet bag. I cried when the bag got trashed! Silly paddy. So anxious to get sunset in a kayak that he forgets the tide comes in at sunset.

[@scott-hamilton]

I have so many beautiful memories of these places. Get me that vaccine and I'm straight out there!!! Loved it Paddy 😀

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks dude 😁

[@orianafraser]

That kayaking incident is legit my worst nightmare. I would have just given up and cried on the beach 🏝 glad you came out of it relatively unscathed 😂

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Hahahaha yeah it was very scary 😂

[@chrisdavisunofficial]

@@PaddyDoyle. Paddy, my man. Two things: 1) always travel with a roll-up bag for your electronics & passport and 2) if those waves really were intimidating to you, please find someone to show you how to deal with that situation. You did a great job in respecting the sea, but you can go through/over much higher surf in one of those kayaks. Keep up the awesome work!

[@HolaBrazil]

You would have given up and cried on the beach? You must be a drama queen!

[@Gaiaempower]

​@@chrisdavisunofficial I had to laugh at those 'waves' lol

[@Zodiac_ltz]

Omg ,you’re so lucky man of the year 2021! And my Phi Phi is such a beautiful piece of earth when it has no tourists .

[@YourName-qf6dy]

One of the most unintentionally funniest video I have ever seen! Guys if this guy travels and survives anyone can

[@jenn.maynard]

Paddy hitting us with all the feels this episode! Makes me so sad whenever you compare Thailand now to Thailand pre-covid. Definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity for you - enjoy!

[@Lubsana86]

That truly is Next Level Adventure. You are blessed Paddy. Keep up the good work your videos are amazing, not sure how they have not gone viral yet.

[@justinward5673]

Paddy, that’s another amazing video sir. What beautiful views , incredible . Sorry about your drone dying. You make it look amazing I have to go there.

[@leeanneNZ]

That’s going on my to visit list ... when we can get out of New Zealand again to take a holiday! Great vlog.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks ☺️

[@travelertrome8449]

My goodness Koh Phi Phi is still stunningly beautiful. You are now in the area of Thailand I was at in 2003. Similan, Phuket, Phi Phi, Krabi, Bamboo Island. My favorite region in the world. Been waiting for this vlog. Thank you, Paddy. Thank you. 🤗😎

[@potatobicepss1994]

At this moment time Thailand is pristine heaven for Instagrammer's clear water empty beaches OMG I miss itttt u re so lucky mate !!!

[@m1n1sw00sh]

Paddy get a waterbag to put in your bag!!! Great vid my guy! :)

[@elizabethcantarell5094]

Heaven on earth! I thoroughly enjoyed your video. My bro and his family are visiting from the States. I wanted to see the place just gorgeous! The Cove and Maya Beach towards end of video was epic. No kayaking for elderly, was afraid for you. Thank you, your attitude amazing. Lovely people you met along the way. 🌸

[@sammiewagner4657]

I watch many videos on Thailand but yours are the absolute best. I love your laugh and how you seem to truly enjoy each and every day.

[@marketsqueezer]

“It doesn’t matter where you go, but it does matter who you are going with “ And we are thousands with you. Therefore don’t stop making more videos from paradise. All the best 👌✌️👍

[@pizzabrot3502]

i´ve been there 1989. The sight at 12:30 was no hat or house there at all. there was 5 simple bungalows on the beach. It changed alot. today there are luxus bungalows there with fridge and aircon. costs about 10 times what it cost in 89

[@johnchang8652]

the music was a nice touch when going through the turquoise water

[@andrewrobinson2565]

Once again.... How lucky are you to see all that with no tourists there? Royal treatment.

[@akojev297]

Incredible vistas, and your passion for the land is palpable!

[@smashitlad]

Awesome video, I went to Phi Phi in 2019. Did the same boat tour as you and also kayaked to that hidden beach. Amazing to see it with no tourists!

[@weekdaycycling]

It's a great time to visit the southern islands during the outbreak. You can't expect the serene beauty of nature like this after the return of the tour group. It can almost be called a private beach for you. Cheaper, more than worth it for sure

[@panapatl4538]

Glad that local people guide you to travel on island, nice video, keep more comming & enjoy your stay at PP 🌴🌴

[@marywilson5192]

😍 Love the "old guy" posing on the rock. So cute.

[@tup2u]

Your ability to laugh and enjoy even the unsure things is amazing!! great episode!!

[@geoh999]

We spent our honeymoon at the village never left the resort can't wait to get back and look at the rest of the island...

[@afueradecasa1600]

Made me laugh so much when you were freaking out about the waves. The sunset paid off! You are so funny!! This video its amazing

[@moodymoody2013]

Love love this video! Full of high and full of lows! Following your journey and loving it

[@DouglasR0269]

Was there 2 years ago and wow what a difference, no people so much better on a beach that you can lay on. I am so jealous .

[@paulpattaya1522]

Love it Trance playing to a sunset (2 of my favourite things as used to work in Ibiza in 90's) in a Kayak lol. Was on Koh Samet beach for sunrise at 5:43am today, now back in Pattaya. Love Phi Phi. Stay safe.

[@johnnygovender5738]

What a asome tour.The views is epic man.

[@masterforge7744]

One of the best videos of the trip. Thrill, adventure, suspense and some exotic locations. Paddy you really are lucky to be travelling during these times and Experiencing sights and sounds and nature that had been spoilt by throngs of tourists. PS: I had suggested in one of the earlier videos about meeting the locals. The interactions made it more interesting for me as a viewer. Great going Incredible 👍

[@johnchang8652]

wow paddy, i am so jealous of the experiences you had on the long tail boat tour of ko phi phi. Isolated without tourist is probably a once in a lifetime experience that may never happen again. so amazing so beautiful. you are one lucky lad.

[@ltbdempsey]

Hi paddy, greetings from Ireland, I just found your channel 3 days ago & I'm in love with your videos they have given me great ideas, & made me smile you have done amazing things,stay safe keep make cool videos

[@gamsts]

You have worked hard for this video man. Though luck was not with you, you still managed to make the best out of with what you got. Salute to your persistence man !!! Enjoy your trip !!!!

[@jinha911]

Love your channel. I been binge-watching your channel for the last 5 hours. Very entertaining and addicting episodes.

[@paulakatiuchavaz7291]

Anyone planing a trip to Thailand should definitely watch your videos! Always amazing and helpful content! Thanks Paddy!

[@terenasimons2787]

What a Great episode mate, great adventure with locals and glad you got over those rocks alright, hehe. The boat trip to Maya beach looked stunning!!!!

[@BarefootJeff]

Thanks for sharing a part of Phi Phi I haven't seen. As well as the lemon type tree. I miss Thailand 🇹🇭 and can't wait to get back and vlog. 👣

[@alho9231]

Thanks a lot Paddy for sharing this vid! Brought back so many good memories as Phi phi used to be my favourite place in Thailand pre Tsunami. I remember having fun playing football on the beach with the locals when the tide was out at the end of the afternoon. The Italian owner of the Ciao Bella restaurant would also play with us. Pity it's become so over developed but I'm envious that you were able to enjoy during these Covid times. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍

[@cocosguesthousekohphiphi5704]

Very cool video. Keep up the great work. I love the bit where you did the video with the microphone on mute….! Made up for it with the rest of the vid.

[@davidcoleman2796]

What a great video . I have traveled all over the world but never Thailand. It is so beautiful. Thanks.

[@courtknees]

i love that you got to experience these moments even if scary at times. Well worth it & thank you for sharing! safe travels & cheers 🍻

[@marclesperance1709]

Paddy, the sour leaves you ate is from the Tamarind tree. Love your vlogs. All the best on your journey.

[@allangibson6987]

Once again great video...love your drone footage

[@MichaelBanfield]

What an absolutely beautiful world we live on! I will be there 16 December and will be staying until mid March. I am beyond excited to explore this amazing country! :)

[@ricecookerbaking]

OMG 😲 so beautiful. When I was there in 2014, Maya bay was so crowded. It was not enjoyable at all. Now is the time to travel.

[@aviationltd8349]

Yes nice to make the most of phi phi now, in the busy season no thanks, great to see it like that.

[@DennisdeRuiterrrr]

I was there 2 weeks ago... so peacefull after songkran. I wish i knew about the other side of the island.

[@Baz-cv6pw]

I have been coming to Thailand since 2008 and have visited Thailand many times but unfortunately never visited this part of Thailand, will surely try to visit on the next trip when allowed to travel again. Thanks for making a video of such a beautiful place. Take care stay safe.

[@nathaliejansen4840]

I love your video's Paddy! I am in Koh Phi Phi right now, travelling with my 10 yo. 🎉❤ Pad Thai Phi Phi is a great restaurant!! We tried yesterday! 😋

[@joannabagley2217]

Paddy, this was one of your best videos in a while. Glad to see you more back to your self! As always, Thank you for the Adventures!!! 💙

[@billybasu3900]

Great video showing 2 sides of this area.Much appreciated.

[@PaulA-kr1nl]

Paddy got his groove back. Yeah!

[@BassMunn]

Simply Stunning! Man I need to visit Thailand

[@nickchoppe5982]

Paddy, after years of watching your videos and commenting under your vide I am finally going to Thailand this week!! Super excited after a year of planning would love to buy you a beer if you'll be around anytime in the next 2 weeks!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Awesome 😎

[@dueyduey1611]

Should buy some water resistant bag Paddy and put all your gears in its. Everything will fine I also did kayaking with my wife near the main pier. Kayak flip over and I step on sea urchin, ough!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Haha oh my sorry to hear that

[@irishjonny11]

happy days.....brings back the memoreis........i first visited PP in 99.it was awesome......but after the tsunami it became to commercialised when they rebuilt it........have only gone back there once since the tsunami..07........great vlog PADDY.....

[@MaluPaluski]

Amazing! I am dreaming of Thailand islands! And your videos are helping me to do my itinerary...thank you so much!

[@tomwebb986]

The Thrillseekers - Synaesthesia. Epik tune for a sunset in paradise!

[@MarkHarrop]

By far the best travel blogger on YT. So natural, and honest. Epic!

[@s-sg2640]

this video is so real! what a great experience

[@preaw88]

This is so amazing, love your Vdo!!

[@Swoleunicorn666]

I’m in Ko Phi Phi right now. I definitely recommend staying at Phi Phi Sunset Bay Resort. The bungalows have the most amazing view and it’s more remote! Wish I could stay longer. 😢 Another thing I loved about Ko Phi Phi are all the cats! I love cats and miss mine at home! ❤

[@cctan9309]

adventure is out there. Very fun, love your sense of humor.

[@chesneyhawkes355]

10/10 for resilience in the kayak Paddy!

[@santoshsco]

brought back good memories of phi phi enjoyed every bit of episode . The kayaking was scary .

[@tereasia]

Just breathtaking!

[@sporcuyemeklerieceozturk]

i am going to phi phi next month and this video is awsome and so informative Thanks for sharing us

[@laurenzimman4842]

Amazing video! I love seeing the walk with the locals. What a great experience.

[@sameetfernandes]

Fantastic video. It bought me memories of my stay at Phi Phi islands and the long tail boat trip to Maya bay.

[@joetighe7161]

Hi Paddy, first time I seen your channel & absolutely loved it, so awesome, budget day looked amazing & Billy big bucks day was fabulous ❤️

[@AbroadInThailand]

Another amazing video! I'm so glad you didn't capsize the boat in paradise. What a shame about your batteries and drone. I recommend picking up the DJI Mini 2 for about 19,000 Baht. Such a beautiful sunset!

[@LivingEmotionallyFit]

You’re living my dream, Paddy!!!

[@tatsf]

Looks like an extraordinarily beautiful place! I am so glad to hear that they closed down Maya Bay to allow the coral and other wildlife to regenerate and thrive! That is more important than some fleeting tourist dollars. If they open back up at all they should do as Hanauma Bay does on Oahu and have strict restrictions, limits, and rules with some days each week closed.

[@lindabuck2777]

2022 July, I CONCUR👏👏👏🧐🤔🤨 and would add a few OTHER points: CONSIDERATION OF NATURE, leave NO TRACE, as you ‘travel’ Z E R O 🤔except in the hearts of the locals as you perform deep RESPECT. 🧐POINT of FACT: lay on the beach/poolside oils, lotions, and potions, get your tan on, THEN SHOWER IT ALL OFF before getting in the ocean/lakes/lagoons/streams AT THE END OF TANNING then swim in nature. Truth is you spend less time in the water than you think, better to save nature than destroy it in your ignorance in a matter of 1 minute!!! Also, once tanned, sunproof clothing and hat helps your skin rejuvenate from your crispy crittered sunworship!!!🙏🏻❤️

[@user-nj1zu2nf1x]

It's already back open

[@danieln.2590]

Thai people are super friendly, generous, nice, and they speak decent english. I love my every moment in Thailand.

[@karlsbikestunts]

The tide being out so far just reminds me of the Boxing Day Tsunami I really enjoy your unpredictable Vlogs Paddy awesome

[@riodasperolas]

Wonderful judgement in managing the itinerary. 5-star vlogpost. 5-star vlogger. Let’s drink to that!

[@MoinKhan19]

Visited Maya Bay yesterday and I am blown away completely by its beauty! Would surely love to go back

[@botladola]

I've always wanted to visit phi phi Island but couldn't due to the sheer amount of tourists. You're so lucky to visit it with little amount of tourists.

[@marketsqueezer]

You have just made one of the best traveling video’s on KZbin 👌✌️

[@clairrice7777]

Great to see you back in Thailand 😊

[@notsure4065]

Thanks for showing the 2 different price tours. Usually you just get one as if that is all that exists.

[@zachpickering9588]

Unless you have already replaced the batteries or someone else has already said. You should be able to get an abrasive substance like sand paper and clean the green bits off the battery terminals and they should then work. But either way keep up the great work 😀😀

[@bradpattaya]

Was amazing to see again been 5 years since I was privileged to be there! Thanks
