Yes it called an Irish bar

[@antruok4950]

Condo & resort is magic - price is great - good to see you catch up with Flora , Note & Chris P already & 2 passports - Samui is a good decision at this time - the situation is what it is - luv the coconut sign - great look around - 😎🇦🇺👌👍🙏🍻

[@1980zander]

Also, how did you get such a good price for a room? Did you go to booking com or did you just ask at the reception?

[@experienceluxurytravel]

Koh Samui is one of our favorite islands not just in Thailand but anywhere!

[@glimpseofmy384]

Hi Paddy! Just wanted to say that my husband and I enjoy watching your videos! They are not just scenic but especially informative and you really come across as an authentic person who loves what he does. Thanks for sharing! We ourselves hope to travel the country by next year and maybe we are lucky enough to cross paths with you :) All the best and looking forward to what's next! Greetings from Germany, My

Hi there you forgot to tell the name of the place good morning 😃

[@TomBedlammusic]

love your videos bud! sorry if you've answered this a million times, but how come youre allowed to live so long in Thailand? do you have a special visa?

[@mikechudzinski6629]

Excellent video, but you should do "sandwich-centric" footage whenever possible. We viewers feel for you, a Tiger, temporarily residing in a gilded cage.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Haha noted 😌

[@markwilliamson2795]

Update Dec booking is $2,000.00 for the smallest studio room for 1 month now plus taxes and extras...Oh well...

[@sergioianni5349]

Yeah, not cheap any more , always like that, once fear is over, they speculate

[@Bwlie]

Looking online. Lanna I think cottoned on with how cheap their rates are for foreigners. A month now is 58069 baht for a month is is £1.3k.. far from the $400 you had. Which sucks, such a steal price l!

[@1980zander]

Looks like the prices have gone up a lot since the day you posted this video.

Good to see you “safe” in koh samui, i look forward to see some more of the Island. :) Allways happy when you upload videos.

Hi Paddy. Love the apartment, what a steal. Have you any idea what the ‘non COVID’ price would be for a month? Definitely somewhere I would like to stay. Have a great time 😊

[@KAPPYSTRAVELS]

Dude I love your channel. I've been watching it religiously when I get home from work & on the weekends. You do a fantastic job of informing us on everything. It's because of you that I told my Wife that we're selling everything & just going to travel from place to place for cheap. 1 month here, 1 month there, etc..... Looking forward to Thailand in April or May. If you're still there, would love to grab a bite or beer or whatever & pick your brain. Keep up the awesome work young man, enjoy life, it's really way too short!

[@johnmellyn2700]

Be careful moving your hands around when your talking driving the scooter, someone on a side street might think your waving them out and they might pull out right in front of ya,….. that place looks incredible, Great Find ! ,.. have ya checked out the two bedroom units ?,… I’d be curious to see what they look like and how much they go for ,.. your one lucky dude,.. I’m jealous !

I'm hopefully going to Esan in October to start teaching English for the first time. Can't find out much about Esan online because its such a 'true' Thai experience but at this rate I think I'll get there before you! 😂😂

U said to the couple on the bikes that youre paying 450 baht per month.... I think. But great video and I've got decisions to make as to where I'm gonna live when I leave Europe in February.

[@grahamfraser5938]

Hey Paddy, thanks for bringing back so many great memories of Koh Samui. So far I have only traveled extensively in the southern half of Thailand but my favorite location is Koh Samui. I stayed around on the west coast at Lipa Noi at the Lipa Lodge and it was wonderful. I smiled when you pulled up at the Big Buddha in the exact same parking spot that I did. The little cafe in front of where you parked was a lovely place to cool off with a Pineapple smoothie and just watch the planes departing Koh Samui. Personally I never wanted to leave Koh Samui because even riding the scooter around the island I felt like it was the first sane place to ride in the southern half of Thailand. The market at the Big Buddha was a great place to do some shopping so I personally enriched the markets somewhat 🙂 In December 2024 I will return to Thailand to explore the northern half of the country and explore many of the places which you have already shown. Thanks again for the wonderful videos and for refreshing so many happy memories.

[@lostinasia888]

Great decision to come to Samui, stay safe as always.

[@emilythara06]

When you said that the video is coming up soon you really meant it lmao

[@Adrian-S.]

Have fun in Koh Samui! you certainly made the right decision.

[@evelineeichele2075]

Congratulations (... 2 jears afterwards ... 😅) for your 100 days healthy eating programm !!! You look slimmer and also better in your face ! 🤗

It is really great price. I was looking online and best price for this hotel/resort was like 33 0000 B.

[@tinadavis11able]

Hi Paddy . My husband Steve 64 and me Tina 57 watch your videos religiously. You are such a natural oresenter and the way you oroduce you video's is so professionally done. We watch alot of vloggers advertising Thailand along with other countries but it can be a bit classrooms and text book chatter. Your video's are not only informative, they are interesting and full of wit and humour. You give so much of yourself. Its a pleasure to watch you. Please don't listen to the negative comments people put up. Just remember, you can't please everyone. Just keep doing what you do best. We love watching you. The BBC should give you your own holiday show. You are a natural. We are hoping to do a 2 month back packing holiday in 2022. So are learning as much as we can from you now. Never done back packing before and now that we are retired, we thought, it's now or never. You only live once. Hope to see uou over there soon. Take care Paddy. And stay safe. Tina & Steve Davis x

[@beverlyweber4122]

Nice spot to chill out and hide away from the craziness of the world. BTW, read your e-book cover to cover, and...saved ALL those locations to Google maps. Took quite a while to save them all -- like hours of saving them! Good job, Paddy!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Wow. Dedication, but that will pay off ♥️

Jeez mate, you must have been doing 200km/hr at 20:30 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺😂

Just saw this video. Thought I would save the hotel for my trip next year... but, the price on the web is now 8 times the price $3,050 or 104,000 thb. I am not saving the location.

[@manfmnantucket]

Please cover the Koh Samui Sandbox as it happens! How much do the ASQ mandated hotels cost?

[@robertburnett5561]

Please check Ride4kitz about Pattawa Now. Reality on the streets there. Hundreds of Thais in line for food. Not enough food for the elephants. Anybody there can help. Just a few dollars can make a difference. I hope there some kind of go fund. I can help.

[@melissafrye76]

If you want to move on to other types of work, you could totally do video tours and food reviews! You do such a good job, not only talking about it but filming it. 😊

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Great idea!!

[@octaviusvanzandt3695]

In the past I've enjoyed videos by creators like you and CB Media and Retired Working for You, but as news of the pandemic in Thailand is getting worse, with many Thai people lined up outside Thai hospitals unable to get help, and many Thai people unable to get vaccines -- I now can't help but feel that the vlog content being created by some westerners in Thailand right now is rather privileged -- as you and others retreat to safe havens for wealthy westerners inside Thailand -- which means that the Thai resources that could be used to help the sick in Thailand are instead being diverted to pampered westerners. It isn't your fault that the pandemic is happening, but I'd like to see channels such as yours do more to alert your viewers how dire things are in Thailand right now for Thai people -- and perhaps if western vloggers spent some time alerting potential travelers of the situation -- then perhaps the Thai government would do more to help its own people right now.

[@bigcountryaus]

So jealous. Im a 46yr old R.N., found your channel last week and have been binge watching all your shows, this so my new passion in life. Im making a shitload of money, nothing to show for it and not living. I have to start going to some of the great places you have shown, your living life as we all should be.

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Nice place and good value, dude. But your gym doesn't have any weights, just cardio equipment? that's a bit lame. how can you become swoll Paddy without weights... 555

@@PaddyDoyle. You skipped the most important part of the gym... Or are you trying to surprise us with Swoll Paddy when you leave the island. Cruising off into the sunset on dreamy, no shirt on and the sweat glistening off your chizziled body as the drone swoops by?

[@David.Lee-CM-THAI]

I really like Paddy, and his videos are great. But there is an issue with him (and other vloggers) they tend to speak to the camera too much. which is not that interesting. I don't mind the talking, as long as he shows us something. Anything, really. He does however compensate us with some remarkable drone footage from time to time. I also like when he shows us his accommodations and food! LOL keep it up mate!

[@larrainedeloach726]

Hi friend, if youd like see less of Paddy’s beautiful face and more beautiful views, “side trip life.” Does a lot of walking about. He’s in Thailand and koh samui at the moment. Don’t stop following paddy though, he’s great!

Hi Paddy, thank your for your positive vibes, videos and energy :-) I was just rewatching this video as i am planning to visit Samui this summer, and wanted to stay in this hotel. But...where did you book this 1 month stay? Wherever i look, it is far above 90.000 THB instead of 13.000 THB you paid. Is there any special trick? Or did prices change so much?
